Chapter 1046: Wake up

Li Xu left Beijing on April 30th, and his eldest grandson Li Nuo was also accompanied by his fellow travelers.

Cao Yong and Sun Wencheng both went outside the city to see Li Xu off. The soldiers escorted were subordinates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They had already received the orders from the Sixteenth Prince. They did not shackle Li Xu, and they also gave them time to speak, and did not urge them to set off.

After half a month of conditioning, Li Xu's injuries have been healed.

He first ordered Li Yu, Li Cheng, and his brothers who stayed in Beijing. They were nothing more than doing their own jobs and caring for their parents and elders.

Then, he thanked Sun Wencheng for seeing him off, and solemnly thanked Cao Yong.

Although the house where the Li family lives is nominally owned by Gao Taijun, she is an old woman. Without the help of the Cao family, she would not have arranged everything properly.

However, this solemn thanks also points out the current relationship between the three families and no longer get close to them in their early years. The heads of the three families are here, and they know this very well.

The brothers of the Cao family were all young and strong, and had already become officials, and the family was in a prosperous state. Although Sun Wencheng was dismissed from office, his brothers and second son were both admitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his own crimes were not serious and could be recovered at any time. Only the Li family had cut off two generations of career career, and their grandchildren were not yet capable of becoming good. Whether they could be ranked in the officialdom again was not guaranteed.

Li Xu's heart was filled with sadness, but looking at his weak grandson Li Cheng, he still couldn't say "diligent study".

"The foundation of filial piety is the foundation of filial piety. You must not be too strong or do everything within your ability." Li Xu said to Li Cheng before leaving.

"The grandson follows the teachings of his grandfather." Li Cheng said with tears.

Seeing Li Xu's elderly figure gradually fading away, Cao Yong sighed.

He turned around and asked Sun Wencheng to get in the car. Sun Wencheng glanced at Li Cheng and said, "Cheng'er is weak, come and have a car with me."

Li Cheng bowed and said, "I thank my grandfather for sympathy, but my grandson is fine and I can ride a horse."

Sun Wencheng glanced at him, didn't say anything, and got on the carriage.

Seeing this, Li Yu frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Twin Li Zhan, Li Zheng and two of them stood beside him, watching Sun Wencheng talk to Li Cheng, with a little loss in his eyes. When Li Nai took them out of the capital, they were already six or seven years old, and they had already remembered them.

Although they have accepted the fact that they are descendants of the Li family over the past few years, they miss their life in the Sun family even more.

The legitimate mother is respectable and respectable, and the "father" is far from being replaced by the Li family's wealth and wealth in recent years. If she is still in the Sun family, the person in front of her will be their grandfather.

Seeing Li Cheng like this, Cao Yong knew that he was blaming his grandfather for not helping the Li family. He was obviously a smart child since childhood, but now he is confused. Sun Wencheng may not be able to help the Li family, but he has the ability to take care of Li Cheng, the grandson.

Seeing that Sun Wencheng was about to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, if Li Cheng was more aware of his mistakes and failed the imperial examination, he would take the Ministry of Internal Affairs to write and write a letter, which would be his way to become an official.

Cao Yong thought of Li Cheng's heart and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he had to think about giving some advice. He would not be worried about others, just to let Gao Taijun and Li less worry.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to Li Yu: "Wanzhong, I have something to say to Shouzhen, you should go back with Goro first."

Li Yu said: "Since it was my cousin's order, my nephew will take my brothers back first."

Cao Yong nodded and watched him take the twins and follow Sun Wencheng's carriage. Fang said to Li Cheng: "Your grandfather himself cannot protect him, how can he help the Li family? If you are resentful, the only one who is in a dilemma is your mother."

Seeing this, Cao Yong advised his mother to go to Haidian to escape the summer heat.

The gardens over there are thriving plants and trees, and there is also a pond of living water, which is much cooler than the houses in the city.

Li knew that the Li family had settled down and Gao Taijun was still in good spirits, so he felt relieved and decided to go to Haidian to escape the summer heat after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Chu Yu wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Li.

Li took Niu Niu, Tianhui and Tianbao, and made an appointment with Zhaojia. He took a dozen servants to Haidian in several carriages.

Zhao Jia originally wanted to take her wife over, but she thought that there was no one to serve her son, so she only brought the fourth sister and the fifth one.

Seeing this, Cao Yong took his wife to visit him on a holiday. The same was true for Cao Feng. Only Cao Song had to take six days off each time, and took his wife and two daughters to stay for a few days, which was much more comfortable.

When Cao Yong and Cao Fo saw this, they were envious.

Because Cao Song was properly served in the northwest, he had been promoted to the first class guard, and he was the chief. No matter what rewards he had in the palace, he, the little guard of the Ganqing Palace, was double and very decent.

In addition, he is stupid on the outside and is round on the inside and never shows others with scheming, so he has a very popular relationship.

Even the emperor liked Cao Song very much. If it weren't for his youth and had been a guard after he became an official, he had not shown any talent and lacked qualifications, so he would have been promoted and reused long ago.

Cao Fu's life was difficult. The Shujishi was originally in three years and then the museum was disbanded. Because this year, in order to pour the new Shujishis, the Shujishis of their department had to be disbanded in advance.

Now there are only one left to take the exams in the restaurant, and only half a year is left.

At that time, the ratings will be divided into three levels, and the upper class will be kept in the library and will be awarded the Hanlin official; the middle class will be held in the library, or the six ministries will be appointed as the county magistrate; the lower class will be removed from the list, or will be returned to the Jinshi class and wait for the official, or will be stayed for another three years.

Because Cao Xiang stayed in Hanlin and now he has become a magistrate, Cao Fu had already gone to the middle school, thinking that he could become a magistrate in the six ministries. Then with his cousin, he could live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Now that the exam is early, he is a little unsure and is in a hurry.

After all, there are only 20 or 30 Shuji scholars in each subject, and they are all the best among the Jinshi. It is not easy for Cao Fu to be at a moderate level.

Although he did not have the competitive spirit, he was not far away from the exam and was ridiculed by the same subject in the same year. Now his nephews have begun to take the exam. If his uncle is removed from the list, he will be embarrassed.

Because of this, he had to study day and night. Looking at his diligence, he was more concerned than before the imperial examination.

Seeing that the younger brothers were all very successful, Cao Yong, the older brother, felt quite relieved.

On his own side, he "takes his position and plans his own affairs". He does not participate in other things except to do his own duties.

Although the court was rigorous in making friends with court officials from foreign officials, the rules of the officialdom were there, and no one was backing the court, and being a foreign official was not stable.

In the same year, "membersmen" and "school classmates" were all named after their friendship. Cao Yong was kind enough to serve the official position, which saved this issue. Although Jiangning and Fengrun officials came to visit him in the early years, Cao Yong kept his distance.

The governor from other places came to Beijing and respected the capital. He would not leave the Cao Mansion, but would not give him a heavy gift. Because everyone knew that Cao Yong married a good wife and knew that he would not lack money.

This saved Cao Yong a lot of trouble.

When it came to Yongzheng's eyes, he felt that Cao Yong had inherited the style of his father and was happy to be a pure minister.

Every time he was summoned, he was much more kind to Cao Yong. Once after he mentioned the business, he left him and said a few family matters.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was amazed, but he didn't think about it.

After all, he is now "open and honest" and has nothing to be guilty. He can only think about whether Yongzheng really treated him as a relative and junior, so he treated him differently because of Li's sake.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sixteenth prince was a little busy because the seventeenth prince was going to leave the palace and open the mansion. There was no old palace to divide it, so a new palace was built.

The Interior Affairs Office has already designated a site in Caochang Hutong in Dongguanyuan, and a new royal palace is established according to the county prince's palace.

In addition, the eldest son of the Thirteenth Prince and the eldest son of the Fourteenth Prince were granted the Beizi, and the two houses of Beizi's Mansion were also pardoned at this time.

The Sixteenth Prince doesn’t have to take the residence of his nephews too seriously. The Seventeenth Prince has always been with him, and he is very concerned about the construction of the Prince’s Mansion.

He had a thought in his mind that when the seventeenth prince left the palace, only the fifteenth prince was left among the advanced princes.

Even if he is a Duke, even if the fifteenth prince is guarding the tomb, he can move his family out of the palace. In this way, he, as a younger brother, will be cheaper to take care of him. It would be even better if he could welcome his biological mother out of the palace to support him.

Because of these two reasons, he stared at everyone in charge and wanted to build the Prince's Mansion earlier.
