Chapter 1275: Strange

By late July, it rained a few times and the weather gradually became cooler.

Cao Yong no longer paid attention to the matters of Fucha's family.

Starting from the beginning of this year, not only will the whole country implement "spending acres to the public" and "expenditures to the public", but also implement "integrated gentry and gentry grain" in several southern provinces. These accounts and income will eventually be subject to the Ministry of Revenue for review.

Even after less than a year when the Ministry of Revenue was in heavy official duties, the atmosphere of the Ministry of Revenue became busy.

Relief is needed here, and silver is needed there, and the chores are very cumbersome. However, even if you are busy, as long as the treasury is abundant, there is nothing to worry about.

It was only five years since Yongzheng ascended the throne, and whether it was the Ministry of Revenue or the court, it was already a new atmosphere.

Although it is not good to make money like in the past, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue no longer have to worry about the lack of money in the treasury. The more treasury silver escorted by local governments at the end of the year, the more it will fall on everyone, and there is hope.

This year is still the year of "Beijing Inspection" and "outside plan".

The Beijing inspection results will be released at the end of the year, but since July, many people can't sit still.

When we know which secretary of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge and which doctor is co-organized, we will start to build relationships and take the lead.

The "Beijing Chase" has good grades, which can not only be promoted, but also give priority to external releases.

Now the emperor is very strict in control of subordinates and is most concerned about greedy things. No one dares to take the blame for the world under the emperor's nose.

It’s different to be exposing yourself. You can get benefits and gain experience.

It is not easy to be a Beijing official.

For Cao Yong, the result of "Beijing Chase" is not important. However, he was the Jingtang ordered by the emperor, and the Ministry of Revenue has been booming in recent years, so the result of "Beijing Chase" will not be wrong.

What he paid more attention to was the evaluation of several cousins.

With the age of several cousins, they are already the best among their peers. If you want to get promoted again, you still need to get a qualification. You can get a good exam and get a good position when you get promoted later.

This day is July 25th, Prince Chun's 48th birthday.

Because it was not a birthday, Prince Chun's mansion did not take the grand arrangement, but Cao Yong, the prince-in-law, still took his family to the prince's mansion to celebrate his birthday.

In addition to the seventeenth prince, the royal family also came to celebrate their birthday in person, and the twenty-fourth prince of Prince Chun.

The twenty-fourth prince had a low birth mother and died early. She was raised by Prince Chun's mother as a concubine since childhood.

In recent years, although Cheng Taifu has left the palace to support him, and the twenty-fourth prince has also moved to the prince's house, the young prince is a person who values ​​love. If he gets the opportunity to leave the palace, he will come to Prince Chun's mansion to visit Cheng Taifu.

If it were the princes in other palaces, it would not be so cheap to leave the palace and take a walk. The young prince just joined Yongzheng's fate, and the emperor became more tolerant of his younger brother.

However, Cao Yong knew that according to the history we know, this young prince would be appointed as the prince in the future.

According to later generations, when Kangxi died and Yongzheng had not yet ascended the throne, several princes who seized the crown prince were unwilling to fail and wanted to cheat and deny Kangxi's last words. The 24th prince, who was only seven years old at the time, broke their situation, allowing Yongzheng to successfully determine his succession.

When Kangxi died, Cao Yong was not in front of him, and the specific situation was royal private. It is hard to know whether this later theory is true or the novelist's words.

However, this young prince is really too young, and this year he is only twelve years old.

But he is of great age, Hongshu is called "Twenty-four uncle", Tianyou, Hengsheng is called "Uncle Grandpa", and several grand princes in the royal palace are called "Uncle Grandpa".

The twenty-fourth prince asked someone to take out a lot of purses and give them to their grandchildren in a straightforward manner, which was very good at the elders.

Cao Yong and the Seventeenth Prince watched from the side and couldn't help laughing.

However, the "growing" of the twenty-fourth prince did not last long. He couldn't sit still after sitting for a cup of tea. He followed a few "nephews" who were older than him to the inner house to see the concubine Cheng.

At this moment, two more royal princes came.

Prince Chun took his son to entertain guests and ordered his son-in-law Cao Yong to speak with the Seventeenth Prince.

"When I was twelve years old, I was also 'old-aged', but I was not as innocent as Xiao Twenty-four... The emperor is kind, and he treated a few young princes, especially Xiao Twenty-four and others, which was much more comfortable than the old man's days back then..." The seventeenth prince said with emotion when he thought of the past.

Although he did not treat Cao Yong as an outsider, Cao Yong was not good at saying anything about the royal affairs and turned around and said, "I heard that the Twentieth Master left the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was not much left."

The seventeenth prince nodded and said, "The twenty-two brother sealed the Beizi last year and should have opened the mansion last year. It was just that the mansion was not enough to get out and it was delayed for half a year."

Cao Yong also heard about the lack of houses in the Office of the Internal Affairs Office.

Previously, the royal family's division of the royal family had different titles, but most of them were old ones. After the other royal family was demoted, they vacated the mansion.

From the end of the Kangxi period, the residences of the princes under the name of the Interior Affairs Office were not well-off, and there were too many princes and grandchildren.

Although several princes were attacked when Yongzheng ascended the throne, he still focused on appeasement for his nephews. He should inherit the title and the title that should be obtained.

There were a lot of palaces in the capital, and the residences of the Interior Affairs Office were short of.

Speaking of this, the Seventeenth Prince remembered something and said, "By the way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will divide the land at the entrance of the North Street and Dengshi in some days. Do you have a house there? If so, don't forget to say hello to the Seventh Brother, so as not to get in trouble."

"North Street?" Cao Yong frowned when he heard this: "Didn't that just cross the ground last year? Why did he cut again this year?"

The Cao family does have two houses on Beixiao Street, two adjacent places, one for Niu Niu to be given as a dowry and the other for Tianhui.

Last year, in order to repair the new palace for Prince Yi, the North Street had already been blocked. Cao Yong first greeted the sixteenth prince before he could barely avoid it.

If I concentrated on building the royal mansion there this time, I would be afraid that my two houses would be unable to avoid them.

"The young princes in the palace are getting older. The older princes outside have to be invited to be granted in less than two years. The royal princes and generals who have been relegated also need to make a house for residence. This time, a total of twenty houses will be built. Twelve places on the north small street and eight places on the entrance of Dengshi." said the seventeenth prince.

When Cao Yong heard this, he felt extremely troublesome and was afraid of his head: "If you mark too much, you will not be able to avoid it. Forget it, just put it in and just make up for the money."

The Seventeenth Prince nodded and said, "It's good to do this. If you change to a quiet place, the house is better than squeezing with a bunch of yellow belts."

Cao Yong remembered something unusual.

This newly built Prince Yi Mansion is located on the north small street in Chaoyangmen, which is eight or nine miles away from the palace, several miles away than the Lao Yi Mansion in Jinyu Hutong.

Since Yongzheng valued Thirteenth Master, why did he make his new palace far away? It was really hard to understand.

When I returned from Prince Chun’s Mansion, it was already time to hold the lights.

After eating wine, Chu Yu looked slightly drunk, his eyebrows were curved, and his mouth was curled up, and he was obviously in a good mood.

"Is there someone who praises Tianhui again and makes you so beautiful?" Cao Yong asked with a smile.

Since the rumors about the Fucha family and the Cao family came out, Chu Yu took Tianhui with him when he went out for a social event. Whenever she heard someone praise Tianhui, she was very happy and showed her kind mother's heart.

Chu Yu shook his head and smiled and said, "It's not for this. I'm happy that the sky has eyes. Those who do bad things will always be punished."

"What do you mean?" Cao Yong said curiously.

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows: "I heard that Uncle Twelve had a reorganization of the Duke's Mansion the day before yesterday. A few servants were still in front of the servants, and he scolded Aunt Twelve, and almost started. Aunt Twelve cried and went back to her parents' home, but no one supported her, and was sent back by Fucha's house. She hoped that she would stand up for her, but Ma Qi not only did not support her, but also went to the Duke's Mansion to apologize to Uncle Twelve. Now, Aunt Twelve is copying Buddhist scriptures in the mansion. As an elder, she directly talked about our reputation as Tianhui, and ended up as a self-destructive person."

As a mother, children are reverse scales.

Fucha spread rumors, perhaps just to exert a momentary anger, but it fell on Chu Yu, but it was a deep hatred. How could he not hold grudges?

Cao Yong heard that the 16th Prince mentioned that the 12th Prince was scolded by Yongzheng, and was not surprised that he would rectify the servants of the mansion and restrain the 12th Prince.

What surprised Cao Yong was Ma Qi's response.

The weight of a real power prime minister is much heavier than a royal family member who has no errands.

But Ma Qi can do this.

With the current identity of the Fucha family, his move turned small things into big things, which seemed a bit out of place.

Cao Yong touched his chin and felt that Ma Qi's "application" was awkward.

Then Chu Yu continued, "By the way, master, there is another thing, it is news from the palace that after Fucha's 'returning' with the Fourth Prince, yesterday, he brought a girl from Fucha's house into the palace. Is it true that the prince is in peace, should someone ask for inquiries?"

Cao Yong couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

He has worked as a guard, also managed the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and knew the rules and regulations of the palace.

The palace gate is so strict, how could anyone want to take into the palace?

Even if the Fourth Prince is a prince, if he wants to bring people into the palace, he has to go through layers of reports, and maybe he has to be approved by the emperor.

Just like yesterday, it is even more unruly to bring people into the palace temporarily.

The fourth prince was meticulous and not a reckless person. If he could allow his concubine to bring people into the palace, he must have reported it in front of the emperor.

There are also some concubines who take the younger generation from her parents' home to the palace to live in a small house, but the fourth concubine just entered the palace and was newly married again. What is this to bring a young woman into the palace?

"My mother!" The couple reacted and said in one voice.

Chu Yu looked surprised: "Is it virtuous to please my husband like this? Even a little bit of a good family would not do this. Why is the dignified prince and wife? "

Cao Yong thought of Li Rongbao, who was terminally ill.

To please Hongli? I'm afraid it may not be possible.

Since he is the legitimate daughter of the Fucha family, the situation will not be so small.

Cao Yong said: "I'm afraid that it's because Li Rongbao's health is not good, the Fucha family will take the lead. In this way, even if Li Rongbao has a chance, the Fucha family will be mourning, and there will be someone to serve Hongli. Whether it's the eldest grandson or the legitimate grandson of the emperor, it seems that the Fucha family will definitely win..."
