Chapter 1370 Means

Cao Yong really doesn't understand.

Even because he worked hard in Shengjing for two months and wanted to give up his favor, he thought it was Tianyou, not Zuo Cheng.

After all, Tianyou is the eldest son of the Cao family and he married the princess of the royal family. The marriage date is approaching, so it is normal for him to raise his title to be promoted.

The sixteenth prince said: "Have you never heard of the 'Tongcheng Sect'?"

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

In later generations, there was indeed a "Tongcheng School", a prose school that was passed down from generation to generation. Its ancestor was Fang Bao, a great scholar who was once Jie Yuan in Jiangnan.

Now, this genre has not yet been formed.

Why did the term "Tongcheng School" come into being?

Tongcheng is an Anhui county town with a strong literary style. There have been many great scholars in recent decades, but where will the outcome be? A case of "Nanshan Ji" has blown most of the talents in Tongcheng like a storm.

Fang Bao, who was born in Jie Yuan, was a talented man who became the "No. 1 in Jiangnan" back then. He was implicated in the Nanshan Ji case. Although he escaped from the death penalty, he still has not yet arrived. He has been practicing books in Da Nei for more than ten years in his white body. Dai Mingshi, who was born in the second place, was denounced as a "sinner of the famous religion" by Yongzheng.

Although Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu and his son were also from Tongcheng, their identities had long been separated from the "scholars" and became officials.

The sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "That Li Kuangshan is so good, only from Tongcheng, it's just bad."

This time, Cao Yong understood the meaning of "Tongcheng Sect", which was similar to "New Party" and "Search Party", but it was not a family form, but a regional form of "group formation".

But Emperor Yongzheng was quite emotional. He always treated who was good, and he was going to die; whoever he hated was so angry.

Now Yongzheng and Zhang Tingyu are in close harmony with the king and his subjects.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Although Tongcheng has a strong literary style, the court has customized the people in every province. Although Tongcheng has some scholars, high-ranking officials are only so eye-catching as Zhang Xiang and his son. I'm afraid that someone is jealous of Zhang Xiang and arranged them to slander..."

Speaking of this, he remembered the words "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", and hesitated and said in a low voice: "Is it because of this that the emperor chose Yuanbai?"

The sixteenth prince also lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is not a fool. The so-called "Tongcheng Sect" has not yet appeared. How can you understand that Zhang Xiang is a tree that attracts wind and makes people jealous... Since the emperor is generous, who is suppressing Li Kuangshan? Furuo still couldn't imagine it? Li Kuangshan's qualifications and age have arrived. If he stays in Huguang, a prefect cannot escape... Zhang Tingyu is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, which is in line with the statement of "Tongcheng Sect"! How could Zhang Tingyu put himself in such an embarrassing situation..."

Cao Yong couldn't help but be silent after hearing this.

He knew why he was despised by the Sixteenth Prince, and he was also "careful of solitude". Zhang Tingyu was "harming others for selfishness". Not only did he not know the loss at all, he also gained a good reputation of being selfless; he was "harming yourself for others", he suffered and offended others.

Sure enough, what the Sixteenth Prince continued to say was not a good thing: "Even if you are used to being cautious and afraid that people from the bottom of your family will not have to do it yourself. This is not only so tired that you will die, but also hinder others' path to becoming an enemy. How can you say good things? There are so many idle officials in Shengjing, so you only need to explain a few things to share the matter. If you do it well, it is your credit; if you do it badly, it is just a crime of misunderstanding and the responsibility will be pushed down. In this way, you will not only not take any risks, but also sell a few favors."

Hearing this, Cao Yong stood up and bowed to the sixteenth prince.

If he was watching, he might be dismissed by the Sixteenth Prince's remarks. Before he could do anything, he would think about shirking responsibility. What is this?

Then in the game, Cao Yong knew that the Sixteenth Prince's words were a famous saying.

If you are in a high position and cannot protect yourself, then what else can you talk about?

I didn't pay attention to this before because he never took the lead. Even as the governor of Zhili, there are many rules to follow, and what I add is a little bit of trouble.

The Sixteenth Prince doesn’t like to rush to the hindsight. I have said so much today, but I just give Cao Yong a reminder.

Because the south is flooded, several provinces need relief this winter and next spring, and this is the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If Cao Yong still acts like this, he will offend many people.

The sixteenth prince avoided him and accepted the courtesy calmly, and said seriously: "I don't care about other people's actions, but I can't stand you as an orphan. You have to remember that there is a family behind you, and I can't tolerate any mistakes..."

There were not many people who could sincerely warn Cao Yong. Cao Yong could only be grateful and nodded honestly.

The sixteenth prince looked better and looked at Cao Yong with a smile and said, "I brought a lot of tonics here. Since you are seriously ill, you will be able to replenish yourself... Really, you can't make a fortune?"

When the sixteenth prince was just seeing Cao Yong, he was confused about his concern; after saying this, he found clues and finally realized it.

Cao Yong's old face turned red and he smiled and said, "The imperial doctor's prescription is well prescribed, and he is almost done..."

The sixteenth prince snorted coldly, no longer cared about this matter, and then talked about the other person...

When the sixteenth prince left Cao's mansion, he returned to the Zhuang's mansion with a worried look and immediately sent someone to send two packs of ginseng over.

When the news came out, it caused a shock to someone, that is, Grand Secretary Xu Yuanmeng.

The old man is a mature man. Even though he heard that Cao Yong returned to Beijing to recuperate, he only thought that Cao Yong was cautious and did not get sick to avoid the aftermath of the explosion of the bridge in Shengjing.

After hearing the Sixteenth Prince's reaction, the old man was also frightened.

If Cao Yong had a chance, Huizhaoxiao and Shuhede's marriage would be postponed for three years that day.

I and my wife are over 70 years old, but who knows how many years they can survive?

If you can't stand it, your grandson will be a good-bearing grandson and your filial piety period will be three years.

If the unmarried couple is delayed one after another, what time will the grandson marry?

The old prime minister was secretly anxious and wanted to go over and take a look at Cao Yong in person to be at ease. Therefore, when his grandson wanted to visit him and pay tribute, the old prime minister wanted to go with him, but was stopped by the Tatara.

"The master is so eager... Since the in-laws are sick, the master has lost his compassion, and it is more compatible if his grandson has gone in the past." Tatara said.

The old prime minister was unwilling to accept it and said, "You have to make sure, if... we are better prepared..."

He said, "What preparations are you? Can you force your granddaughter-in-law to get married, or can you break the marriage and marry another? I see that Princess He Rui is aware of it. If you see the master's intentions, you will be angry. At that time, either you will take the bride or make enemies... The master wants to go to visit the disease, and wait until his in-laws' body is better before passing, so he will be fully polite."

This is also the current rule. It is difficult for superiors and elders to explore diseases at will because they are suspected of plaguing patients; subordinates and low children are not hindered.

The old prime minister knew that what his wife was saying was reasonable, and in a hurry, he lost his composure, so he waved his hand to send his grandson away.

Suhed was really worried about his future father-in-law. He was not because his marriage would be postponed, but because his father-in-law treated him very kindly and acted well, and deserved respect. In addition, except that he was his future father-in-law and his good friend's father, Tianyou is not in the capital now.

He was the future son-in-law. When he arrived at Cao's mansion, the manager asked someone to return it, and led Suhede to the front hall: "The prince of Prince Jian's mansion came to visit the disease, and the second master was in the living room to entertain guests."

At the end of June, Suhed came to Cao's mansion to give birthday gifts to his future father-in-law.

At that time, the atmosphere in Cao's mansion was different from that now. Even the servants lost their energy and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Suhed became more and more worried. When he arrived at the living room, his worries became surprised.

My father-in-law is seriously ill and my brother-in-law is not here. It is reasonable for my second brother-in-law to come back to entertain guests, but what's the red eyes?

Look at Yongqian, who is restless again. This is his brother-in-law's brother-in-law and he is also a relative of his marriage.

Although Yongqian was ordered to find out, he was not as worried as Prince Jian and his wife. In fact, Cao Yong was only a few years older than him and was in his prime. In his opinion, he was far from birth, old age, sickness and death.

But looking at Hang Seng's attitude, even if he didn't see Cao Yong, Yongqian would still be wondering.

He didn't know that although Hengsheng and Cao Yong were not biological father and son, they were far superior to biological father and son.

The day before yesterday, Cao Yong arrived in Beijing, and Hang Seng met him. He knelt in front of Cao Yong, and burst into tears in a very unreliable way.

Neither the honor of the eldest son of the county prince nor the heroic guards of the imperial guards, the three future generals cried even more miserable than children.

Both Cao Yong and Chu Yu were crying and felt distressed.

The slaves from all over the house have been worried these days, and they are also scared by Hang Seng.

Originally, they only knew that the master was seriously ill, but now they looked at Hang Seng's eyes as he looked red, and they all guessed in panic whether his master was really terminally ill.

Although Cao Yong and Chu Yu both comforted Hengsheng, Hengsheng was not relieved.

Men don’t cry easily because they have not reached the sad place.

Thinking that before he was filial to his adoptive father and mother, his adoptive father and mother would grow old, and Hang Seng's heart was about to be broken.

He also insisted on keeping his energy here to serve the sick and help his adoptive mother receive foreign guests who came to visit the disease.

One of these two is the elder brother’s uncle and the other is the future sister-in-law. The second most important in-laws in the Cao family is. As brother and sister, Hang Seng naturally receives the brother and sister sincerely.

Yongqian had been familiar with him for a long time, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Cao's illness... should he also send messages to the eldest son to the south..."

When Hengsheng heard this, he immediately widened his eyes, his eyes were about to be angry, and his face was filled with anger, and he said, "Don't bother the Duke of the People, my mother has arrangements..."

Yongqian looked embarrassed, but he also knew that he was abrupt in his question and was not easy to argue with him. After saying a few words of face, he said goodbye and left.

Although Hang Seng lost his previous closeness, he still sent Yongqian out intimacy. He met Niu Niu's carriage at the door, and Zuo Zhui, who had just arrived.

Hang Seng and Yongqian complained about their crimes, stepped forward two steps and met Niu Niu through the curtain.

Niu Niu greeted her and took the bus to the second gate to the inner house.

If you stay left, go forward and meet Yongqian.

Yongqian greeted him a few words and took his followers back to Prince Jian’s mansion.

Yaerjiang A and Yongjia had been waiting for the news. After Yongqian returned to the palace, he came to the room to report the matter directly: "I didn't see Lord Cao, Prince Mengke came to entertain guests... Suhede also went there. I think I was worried about the Prime Minister's Mansion... When I went out, I met Lord Cao's adopted son coming to serve the disease, and Tianyou's master Zhuang family returned to Cao's mansion..."

Yaerjiang A and Yongjia looked at each other. The adopted sons who had gone out of the Cao family and adopted sons all went to serve the disease. I think Cao Yong was really sick.

No matter how worried he is, there is no way. Yaerjiang A can only instruct the prince’s mansion to pay attention to the Cao’s mansion.

Yongqian thought about Hengsheng, whose eyes were red, and Lao Cheng's steady Zuo Zhu... Who said that the Cao family's younger generation was a small person, and with these more, except for the Cao family's surname, how could they not be the child of the Cao family?

Poor those ignorant people, who are gloating, are saying behind the scenes that Chu Yu was jealous and stopped the Cao family from scattering. Some people also said that Cao Yong was unfilial and afraid of his inner silence, so he would have a wife without a concubine, which would make his bloodline thin.

But I don’t know that the adopted son and adopted son are grateful and will not be threatened by the status of the legitimate son, nor will they cause the husband and wife to be in harmony. However, if the concubine’s son is not a hundred times stronger...

*

Whether others are worried or gloating, Cao Yong is still "restoring illness".

Niu Niu comes back every day and picks up Buddha beans in the Buddhist temple with Li.

But he was worried that Li would fall ill, so he accompanied him to help him. Li, who followed him ill, would be in chaos in the whole family.

Seeing that his son looked like he was all day long, Li felt at ease.
