Chapter 1120: Brightly Vital

When returning to Cao's Mansion, Li was already looking forward to it.

"Why didn't my wife come back? It would be great if I could celebrate the New Year in Beijing!" Li was both happy and deficient when he saw his son come back: "It's so deserted to celebrate the New Year. How about Tianyou? Are you still used to staying?"

"It's all good, but my son is ordered to go to Beijing, so it's hard to bring his family. After only more than a month out of Beijing, he has been back with his wife and children, and outsiders don't look like it." Cao Yong said: "After fifteen years, the weather is warm, my mother and grandmother will go there. The people there are simple people, and if you want to go out for an outing, it's cheaper to burn incense than in Beijing."

When Li heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You child, I am old with your grandmother, but can't you still like a child?"

After the mother and son talked a few gossips, Cao Yong went back to Wutongyuan to wash.

When dinner was over, the whole family gathered in the orchid courtyard, which added a lot of fun.

Even Gao Taijun, who is not a man of color, has added a lot of kindness and softness to Cao Yong.

Hengsheng and Zuo Zhu, with Muru on his face. He heard that Cao Yong was going to stay in the capital for seven or eight days before leaving. Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng were even more excited and wanted to speak but stopped.

Then the two brothers looked at Li and Hang Seng, but still didn't speak.

When Cao Yong saw this, he felt funny and said, "What's the hurry? If you want to go there, you'll go with the old lady after the New Year."

"Really?" Zuo Cheng was already happy.

Zuo Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "The winter vacation in the school is only for the fifteenth..."

Cao Yong smiled and said, "There is an academy opposite the Governor's Office, which was built by donated funds by the gentry of Baoding Prefecture. They are well-informed. They heard that Mr. Feng was born in the Hanlin Academy and wanted to hire Mr. Feng as the mountain chief. Mr. Feng had visited him and had agreed to come out. Looking at him, he wanted to do a big fight and hire a few colleagues who retired from the Hanlin Academy from the capital to take charge. If this matter can be done, going to school there is no worse than the official school in Shuntian Prefecture."

Stay left and Zuo Cheng looked at each other, and they were all very happy.

In the past few years when Mr. Feng was in the mansion, although their brothers went to the official school, they also listened to Mr. Feng's lectures in the capital. He knew that the teacher of the official school was incomparable to the old man who had been studying books for his whole life.

They had also wondered earlier that, with Mr. Feng's knowledge, he was more than enough to be a professor in the official school, so why would he be willing to be a teacher for the children? But the adults in the house never mentioned this matter, and they were younger generations and were not rude to ask questions.

When his adoptive father released the governor, Mr. Feng took the initiative to ask for his followers. They thought that Mr. Feng was unwilling to give up on his career and took the title of the Western Palace as the rank of Cao's Mansion.

After hearing what his adoptive father said, the two brothers realized that Mr. Feng’s ambition was not in the officialdom, but in the Shilin.

Only Changsheng widened his eyes and said wailingly: "If that happens, wouldn't I still have to be a student for Mr. Feng?"

He was unrestrained and feared the most was not his mother and brother, but his teacher Meng Feng Hou who was very stern in everything.

When Hang Seng and others saw him with a bitter face, they all smiled unkindly.

Changsheng's eyes rolled, turned around and pulled Cao Yong's sleeve and said, "Brother, why don't I go to Qixue and let Tianhu go to Lotus Academy?" After saying that, he felt unpredictable and drooped, and said, "It must not be possible. Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law must be reluctant to let go, and her son is worried about her mother's journey!" At the end of his speech, he sighed.

Even Prince Yi’s Mansion and Prince Zhuang’s Mansion are like this. As long as Cao Yong is the governor of Zhili, there will be less contact.

However, even if Cao Yong wanted to pay homage to the two princes, the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince were not in the mansion. The Thirteenth Prince was an employed worker in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works and was in the yamen every day; the Sixteenth Prince was staying in the palace to guard because the Second Prince died.

There was no warning about the death of the second prince.

It was not until the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the emperor mentioned that the second prince was seriously ill and wanted to visit him in person, but was persuaded by Prince Yi. The ministers on the shift heard that the second prince was sick.

On that day, the sixteenth prince asked for instructions on the funeral, and the emperor ordered the second prince to prepare for the funeral with the prince's courtesy.

When the next day, the second prince passed away, the rituals were simple.

Among the royal family, only Prince Cheng and Gong Yunyu brought several princes of the Hong generation to wear filial piety; civil and military ministers were just covered in front of Xian'an Palace; as for the royal family, the concubines and the concubines of the capital, they were not allowed to gather because it was "in the middle of winter."

Although Cao Yong was not a Beijing official, he was a gentle prince and followed the royal family to enter the palace.

In Xian'an Palace, there is a piece of white silhouette.

Looking at the red walls and glazed tiles, it seems that other buildings in the same palace are no different.

However, Cao Yong knew that this was a cage. After the second deposed prince, there were three hundred guards and forty guards, divided into four squads, guarding this place day and night.

Now the guards and guards are no longer there, only women and children kneeling all over the ground are left.

Because of the special identity of the second prince, although everyone in Xian'an Palace experienced the pain of bereavement, no one dared to cry loudly, and could only cry in a low voice.

There were only a few young princes and princesses. I don’t know whether they were infected by the sadness of adults or suddenly seeing so many strangers, crying loudly at the top of their voices, which made the scene even more desolate.

Prince Li, Hongxi, had a haggard face and his eyes were scattered. He followed the officials of the ritual to be filial sons.

The second prince was buried in the same day, and the Wulong Pavilion beside the Haizi of the Imperial Garden was where the spirits stopped.

The following follow-up is not something that Cao Yong can join. What he cares about is his mother's reaction, fearing that his mother will be sad because of her blood relatives.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the letter, Li just sighed and everything went as usual.

When Cao Yong saw him, he felt relieved. He thought about it. Even if he was a blood-related relative, he had never even seen him, so he would not feel any sadness.

Later, the emperor posthumously named the second prince Li Prince, posthumously named "Mi", and conferred the second prince's concubine, and Hongxi's mother was the concubine, and Hongxi took it out of the palace to support him.

The second prince's minor children are kept in the palace to raise; the children and concubines they have left can be raised by their children, or they can live with the concubine. Those who do not want to do both will also be given a house to enrich their food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

I don’t know the details of the second prince, but when I hear this order, I may praise the emperor’s kindness.

Only the Sixteenth Prince was whispered in his heart.

The second prince has twelve sons, four died young and eight survived. Except for the second son Hongxi, who became an adult, the other seven young princes, the oldest is only thirteen years old, and the youngest is less than a hundred days old.

These people are nominally kept in the palace, but in fact they are just reincarnated in a different courtyard.

Among the seven young princes, several are fine, but they are lucky to have their biological mothers to take care of them; the older princes are all over ten years old and have not read a day.

No one dared to mention this matter, and no one knew what the emperor was thinking.

Although the Sixteenth Prince was sympathetic, he just told him not to detain everyone's food and food. As for the rest, although he was a sect ruler of the clan, he was not qualified to say anything.

The death of the second prince was not related to Cao Yong, but Cao Yong remembered that the case of "Hongxi's rebellion" was involved in many royal families. When he saw the sixteenth prince, he mentioned this matter.

He did not say anything about rebellion in a horrible way, but just persuaded the Sixteenth Prince to be careful. After all, in the clear stream, the voice of speaking for the second Prince, the legitimate son of the Yuan Dynasty, has never stopped.
