Chapter 1402: Who is leaving, who is back (the finale)

Cao Yong was by his side, watching the world develop as he expected, and he was still vaguely happy; but looking at the pity in the imperial physician's eyes, he almost got goosebumps.

Several old doctors had a look and glanced at Cao Yong's crotch without a glance. He woke up and immediately turned red and almost vomited blood from his heart.

Why is it like this misunderstanding again? I didn’t take a concubine in my early years and had such gossip. Now I want to escape from illness, why do I get involved in this again?

This expression fell into the eyes of others and became evidence that Cao Yong really couldn't do it.

Yongzheng looked at Cao Yong and wondered if he would give him some secret medicine. Being a man, sometimes he was powerless, and everyone understood it. He also blamed Chu Yu in his heart. Even if his husband had a difficult time hiding, he would be a good life to comfort his husband, and he actually forced his capable ministers to be like this.

Although Cao Yong was full of shame and anger, he still took advantage of the east wind to kowtow and ask for his illness to retreat.

Yongzheng was angry and saw Cao Yong like this, and wanted to scold him, but after all, he felt a little pitiful and said, "What are you saying? You are in your prime, so you need to go back to illness? Give me a day off and take care of yourself. Don't think about it."

Cao Yong knew that this was the only way at the moment. For a strong emperor, it is better to proceed step by step.

However, after coming out of the Old Summer Palace, Cao Yong was still a little helpless. When will he be so procrastinating? In order to meet the symptoms of "insomnia and headache", he has been struggling with himself these days, otherwise how could he hide it from the imperial physician?

There is nothing to do, so he can't stand it. In addition to the inference strategies related to the West, he is summarizing his experience of becoming an official in the past years at other times.

Relief for the people in the Shandong period, "captive feeding" during the Taipu Temple period, "tendering" during the Ministry of Internal Affairs, road construction and agriculture during the Governor Zhili, commerce promotion, and increase revenue and reduce expenditure during the Ministry of Revenue.

After working for a month, I have already written all the time. I have not planned to spread these things around, so it is better to leave them to my brothers and nephews for reference.

During these days of holidays and recuperation, you can just finish the rest.

He stopped ill and could not be said to be alarmed, but relatives and friends came to visit him in a row. Cao Yong used the excuse of "inconvenient to entertain guests when he was sick", and those who could not be seen were gone, but the Sixteenth Prince had always entered the house.

Although there have always been many sieves in the palace and ears and ears, Yongzheng was an emperor with a strong control. In his opinion, Cao Yong's illness involved men's dignity, so he warned him. Therefore, there was no news.

The Sixteenth Prince has also seen Cao Yong in recent days. Seeing his face clear, he just thought he was a bitter summer, but unexpectedly he needed to "rest in sickness".

He didn't think about Cao Yong being seriously ill, but instead worried that Cao Yong was ordered to "retire off" because he was angry with the emperor.

The emperor is not lenient. As Cao Yong’s best friend, how can he not worry?

The Cao family's free sign was useless to him. The Sixteenth Prince left the attendant outside and went directly into the inner house of Cao's mansion.

In the inner study, Cao Yong finished writing the last word and put down the brush.

He raised his eyelids and looked at the half-foot-high document on the left side of the desk. His twenty-year career was like a movie, waving by his eyes.

Thinking of his immatureness when he first entered Beijing, Cao Yong not only thanked Mr. Zhuang again in his heart. If he had not had Mr. Zhuang's teachings and guidance, he would have to fall a few times before he could be thorough.

There is also Jiang Jian, who has been working hard for the past ten years as a guard of Cao's mansion, which saves him a lot of effort.

Cao Yong told Jiang Jian that he wanted to retire from illness, and Jiang Jian also had his own arrangements. Although Cao Yong had already purchased an industry for him in the suburbs of Beijing and moved his family's household registration to Shuntian Prefecture, he still planned to take his wife and children back to his hometown. After a few years, Xiao Leiming would come back to Beijing.

For a moment, he was a little confused and didn't even notice that the Sixteenth Prince came in.

The sixteenth prince looked at Cao Yong, his face turned gray and his complexion was indeed bad, and his expression was dull. What's wrong?

He was worried and shouted anxiously: "Cao Yong, Cao Yong..."

"Sixteenth Master..." Cao Yong woke up and hurriedly stood up and said, "Why are you here..."

The Sixteenth Prince didn't talk much and asked directly: "Why are you 're sick'? I heard that the emperor would keep you in front of the imperial court yesterday. Is there anything wrong with you in front of the imperial court, which made the emperor angry?" Speaking of this, hesitated: "Or did you not come forward because of the funeral at the Thirteenth Brother's mansion?"

Facing the Sixteenth Prince who had been with him for half his life, Cao Yong did not lie and say "unspeakable hiddenness", nor did he outline the beautiful idea of ​​traveling around the mountains and rivers like in front of Li and Chu Yu. Instead, he said bluntly: "Sixteenth Master, I am tired... In the officialdom, even if I am in a minister, what if I am in a position? But the position is high, there will be more disputes in interest, and it will become a luxury to retreat. Although my current position is more important, it is not necessary for me... Now the court is peaceful and the children in the family are dealing with the same major issues, so I decided to retreat..."

He did not admit that he was pretending to be sick or deny it. He just told the Sixteenth Prince that he decided to retreat.

The Sixteenth Prince did not know that Cao Yong was just a lazy attack of modern people. He was afraid of being pulled into the soon-to-be-established Military Affairs Office and "working hard", so he made a decision to retire as soon as possible. He only thought that Cao Yong was touched by the Thirteenth Prince's loss of his son, so he did this.

Not to mention Cao Yong, even he couldn't stand the situation of the Thirteenth Prince.

On the surface, he was very respectful, and many major matters in the court were pressed on the Thirteenth Prince, but the one who was most wary of was also the Thirteenth Prince. Even the eldest son of the concubine was conferred the title of Beile, and the dead concubine was buried with the Beile level, but he was reluctant to be conferred the eldest son of the royal palace as the crown prince.

The sixteenth prince thought for a while and said, "It's better to retreat. You are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and blocked the financial path of many people. Even Zhang Tingyu was a fool, and he used the excuse of being in charge of the Ministry of Personnel to push all the errands of the Ministry of Revenue clean up, which shows that the villain is difficult to deal with."

Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince did not persuade him, Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right. The government office seemed calm and orderly, but who knew when the trouble would start? When the bank treasury was empty in the early years, everyone couldn't help but reach out. Now there are tens of millions of taels of silver, so many people were red-eyed, but they just hindered me and didn't dare to speak for a while."

Although the Sixteenth Prince also knew that Cao Yong was a capable minister to the court; but from the perspective of the Sixteenth Prince, the emperor was naturally worried about the affairs of the court. He was Cao Yong's friend and relative, so he naturally had to think about Cao Yong.

He stood up, circled Cao Yong twice, and then reached out to rub Cao Yong's face.

In this way, Cao Yong hurriedly reached out and pushed away: "What's the matter between Master Sixteen?"

The sixteenth prince looked at Cao Yong's sallow face, and the blood in his eyes was not as if he was fake, but the meaning of the words just now was obviously to "escape from illness".

Real illnesses and fake illnesses are very confusing.

He looked at Cao Yong again, but still couldn't see any flaws. He leaned over and whispered: "How did you do this weak and bad look?"

"I'm going to bed every night, and this will happen after a few days." Cao Yong also replied in a low voice.

The sixteenth prince took a breath and said, "No, you have slowly cleared it down. It took a while. If you don't sleep, how can you stand it? What are the tricks? Tell me to know?" After that, I was already a little excited.

Seeing this, Cao Yong knew that the Sixteenth Prince was attracted by his "method" of pretending to be sick, and did not hide his own personal information. He said, "For three nights, sleep steadily for one night and wait for two nights. He won't hurt the roots, but he looks really unstimulated."

The Sixteenth Prince has always been smart, and immediately thought of the key point and said happily: "That must be Xiao Chao slept soundly that night, and then he stayed for two days. When Xiao Chao met, he looked the most haggard."

Speaking of this, he went over again with joy, frowned and looked at Cao Yong and said, "This method is enough to be lazy for a while, but it is not easy to use this 'serious illness'. If you really want to survive, you will not only be seriously ill from the outside, but you may not hurt your inner body!"

Just as Cao Yong was worried, he sighed and said, "I can't be cruel either, but if I am less ill, I have no reason to resign. The emperor has always been very suspicious, so how can I go about it vaguely."

Others are reluctant to let their children beat the wolf, but they are reluctant to let their bodies go, so they cannot get freedom.

The sixteenth prince snorted, raised his chin, and said proudly: "What a big deal, it makes you so embarrassed. Come and discuss with me earlier, won't you get anything? Have you forgotten that Prince Zhuang Jing likes to collect folk apricot forest masters and refine various small pills?"

Cao Yong raised his head and looked at the Sixteenth Prince...

The foundation of the Zhuang Prince's Mansion is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

With the "help" of the Sixteenth Prince, Cao Yong's next things went much better.

When the ten-day holiday was over, Cao Yong still went to the yamen to be on duty. When his colleagues and subordinates saw him, they couldn't help but congratulate Cao Yong on his "recovery". After all, his face seemed to have improved a lot and he became more energetic.

Cao Yong nodded and accepted everyone's congratulations and went to handle the official documents.

Although Yongzheng was busy with all kinds of things, he did not forget to pay attention to Cao Yong, an important official.

The stickers in Cao's mansion have regained their daily habits. Yongzheng also took a look every now and then, knowing that Cao Yong took a lot of tonics during the days of recuperation at home, so he was very satisfied with the way he was recuperating.

When the Xiaochao meeting, when he saw Cao Yong's improved expression, Yongzheng felt relieved.

After all, Cao Yong is different from those ministers of seventy and eighty years old. With his bloodline, he really can't bear to lose this minister.

Just looking at Cao Yong's appearance, Shaomian's symptoms should have been relieved. As for the "insufficient essence and blood", let's take a look. If there is something wrong, two palace ladies will be given down. As a princess, Chu Yu is also responsible for his identity and refuses to take the initiative to serve her husband.

After Yongzheng had a conclusion in his mind, he put Cao Yong's affairs aside. After all, he had to do everything himself and there were too many things to pay attention to.

Unexpectedly, the next day after the Xiaochao Meeting, Cao Yong fainted in the yamen.

This time, the news that Cao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was no longer a rumor, but was seen by everyone with his own eyes...

The Ministry of Revenue was once again assigned to several ministers, and Cao Yong, the Minister of Revenue, began to rest in illness again.

After this repetition, even Yongzheng was a little scared. Judging from the imperial physician's pulse, Cao Yong's health became worse and worse. He looked better, but it was just a result of the weak replenishment these days, and his inner body was still not strong.

At the end of June, Cao Yong submitted a memorial and asked to resign from the position of Minister of Revenue.

Yongzheng stayed at the Central Committee and did not send him a message, but only sent the eunuch to Cao's mansion to pass oral instructions, and ordered him to rest with peace of mind.

In early July, Mrs. Li, the wife of Bo Tai, submitted a memorial, and in the memorial, he resigned to the Minister of Revenue for Zi, and Yongzheng still stayed at the memorial service.

By mid-July, Cao Yong had already sorted out his sun to recite scriptures against the Buddha statues before he could barely rest.

Mrs. Li, the wife of Bo Tai, submitted a memorial to you and asked him to see you.

Yongzheng sighed, left the memorial, and asked someone to tell him that Li's visit...

On July 18th, Cao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, resigned from the Minister of Revenue due to illness. On the same day, Yongzheng appointed Cao Yong's twelve merits in the Ministry of Revenue. Cao Yong, the second-class prince of the Jin Dynasty, was appointed as the third-class marquis, and issued an order to be honored and upbringed.

Before He Ke arrived, he got the news that the newly released third-class marquis Cao Yong was accompanied by the Marquis's wife Li and his eldest son Cao Zhan, and took a boat from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to leave the capital.

Aren't you a seriously ill person? Why are you still trying so hard?

For a moment, there were many speculations.

There are well-informed people who have not had many days to find out.

Cao Yin should have no son in his destiny. Both Cao Yong brothers were from the late Sun Taijun and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name. They had done many years of good deeds to ask for them.

What is the fate of Cao Yong is so difficult? If it is not for the care of gods and Buddhas, it is said that it cannot be raised.

It is also said that Cao Yong was a monk in his previous life. In order to repay the kindness of the ancestors of the Cao family, he was reborn in the Cao family.

Those with noses and eyes are becoming more and more like that. Even the matter of Cao Yong not taking concubines and maids became evidence of his reincarnation.

Some people who were dissatisfied with it could not stand others praising Cao Yong as a "good man in Buddha's heart". They wanted to catch him, but they checked the matter of his 20 years of office. After repeated investigation, they were all kinds of good deeds by Cao Yong to appease the people, but they did not have any greed and abuse of power.

The superiors deserve the king and the subordinates deserve the common people. They have never fought with their colleagues in the middle. Cao Yong, a stubborn official, can be regarded as a model, and is no less than the "three model governors" publicly commended by the court.

People have one problem, that is, they are shameful to others. Even if Cao Yong himself can’t find any problem, what about the Cao family?

Therefore, Cao Song's "greed for money and lust" is well known that Cao Xiang became "pedantic and unrestrained" and became a playboy in his life.

There are fewer people with shadows, most of them are picking the bones in the eggs. However, there are fewer words to praise Cao Yong.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor moved from the Old Summer Palace to the Forbidden City.

A few days later, the emperor issued an order that the cabinet had many inconveniences outside the Taihe Gate because of the northwest military service. In order to prevent the leakage of military aircraft, a military computer room was set up in the Longzong Gate to handle emergency military affairs, and assist the emperor in handling military affairs.
