The Minister of Military Affairs was selected from the Grand Secretary, the Minister of Manchu and Han Dynasty, and the Minister of Military Affairs was selected from the Secretary of the Cabinet.

The officialdom in the capital was immediately boiling.

The fact that Cao Yong retired from illness has long become an old news, and the powerful and powerful royal family have set their sights on the Military Affairs Office.

The Ganqing Palace is inside the Longzong Sect, and the Military Affairs Office is located under the emperor's nose. When it was time to use troops in the northwest, everyone knew that as long as you go in, you don't have to make any achievements. When the northwest matters are settled, you will not be able to get rewarded according to your merits.

It is said that "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", but everyone is willing to join the emperor.

Even if you only stay with Xiao Zhangjing, over time, you will have more chances of showing up in front of the emperor than outside officials.

Everyone was jealous and pinched their fingers and calculated which one could enter the military aircraft. After this calculation, someone thought of Cao Yong and couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Cao Yong was in his prime and had good ethics. If he was in the position of Minister of Revenue, he would probably have to join the military. His departure from Beijing also gave everyone an extra chance...

By the time Cao Zhan, the eldest son of the Cao family, returned to Beijing, the candidates for the Military Affairs Office had already been settled.

The fact that Cao Yong's illness has become a thing of the past, and others are too lazy to pay attention to it; but relatives and friends are really concerned about Cao Yong's illness and must be asked to ask about it.

Tianyou did not hide it, and told me about the fact that my grandmother and his father were recuperating in the Qingliang Mountain villa. He also mentioned that the host of Qingliang Temple had already sent a letter to Master Wuxing, the abbot of Lingyin Temple. When his father's health improved next year, he would go to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to study Buddhism.

Although Cao Yong had resigned, the Cao family was a marquis's mansion after all, and Mrs. Cao had different identities. Changsheng, a newly released student, naturally became a good son-in-law candidate for many officials.

In addition, the Cao family's concubines are famous, and many families who feel sorry for their daughters and have no intention of clinging to the royal family have passed on messages. They are about to be held talent show, and everyone wants to get married after the talent show.

Li is not in the capital, so Chu Yu, the eldest sister-in-law, will certainly not make any decisions on her own and must ask Changsheng. Although Li has handed over the marriage between Changsheng to the eldest daughter-in-law, Chu Yu also wants to ask her brother-in-law what kind of wife she wants in her heart.

Changsheng said there was no hurry. After two years, he took Hang Seng out of Beijing to change Tianyou. Chu Yu could not do so, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

After all, Hang Seng was the prince of a vassal prince and it was not suitable to live outside for a long time. In the spring of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Cao Yong and Li and his party were sent to Hangzhou to resettlement, and then returned to Beijing.

Most of the relatives and friends in Beijing knew that after half a year of recuperation, Cao Yong's condition had improved slightly.

But Prince Yi, who has been sick since last winter, has not been able to survive.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of Yongzheng, Prince Yi passed away. Before his death, Prince Yi submitted a letter of resignation and asked him to inherit the title of the nine-year-old youngest son Hongxiao.

The emperor was extremely sad and issued an edict to restore Prince Yi's name to "Yinxiang", and was granted the title of Taimiao, and was posthumously named "Xian".

After Prince Yi's mourning, Yongzheng ordered his youngest son Hongxiao to assassinate the title of prince according to the prince's legacy.

The eldest son, Hongdun, was the Prince of Fu, and the second son, Hongjiao, was the Prince of Liang.

At this point, Prince Yixian has four living sons, one prince, two princes, and one Beller.

The royal family was in an uproar and all kinds of envy and jealousy would not be told one by one.

But no matter how much jealous he is, no one dares to show his feelings at this time. For the sake of Prince Yi’s funeral, the emperor has dealt with fewer royal ministers?

Cao Yong received the news several days after Prince Yi's death.

He had already settled in the other courtyard next to Lingyin Temple. He went to Lingyin Temple every three days to listen to Zen, and accompanied Li every five days to travel, and lived a quiet and peaceful life.

The news was sent by Li Wei.

After Li and Cao Yong arrived in Hangzhou, Li Wei visited him.

Cao Yong only saw him once, and the two of them didn't know what they said. Li Wei never came to the door again, but he had no intention of breaking contact. He occasionally sent people to send some houses to report.

Among the Saint Ancestors, in addition to Prince Zhuang, who is closest to the Cao family, Prince Yi has a deep connection with the Cao family.

If it weren't for help from Jin Shang and Prince Yi in front of Lingyin Temple, it would be a matter of whether Cao Yong could save his life.

After hearing the news of his destruction, Li and Cao Yong and his son were both unhappy. The mother and his son went to Lingyin Temple, donated a sum of money for incense and oil, and asked the temple to recite scriptures for 49 days, which was also considered to have resolved the cause and effect.

In a blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The wedding date of Hengsheng is approaching, and Cao Yong is also a little tired of staying in Suzhou and Hangzhou. When he received a letter from Tianyou and learned that the villa in Wutai Mountain had been built, Cao Yong left Hangzhou with his mother and boarded a boat to the south.

When the boat arrived in Dezhou, Cao Yong and the Changsheng brothers parted ways. Changsheng continued to go north to Beijing with the Li family, while Cao Yong went northwest to Shanxi.

The news that Cao Yong was received by the abbot of Lingyin Temple that his disciples were no longer news in the capital. Everyone sighed when they did not return to Beijing, but went to Mount Wutai to study Buddhism.

In July of the ninth year of Yongzheng, the princess of the Khalkhanate, Monk, married Princess Duanrou. After the marriage, the princess lived in the royal palace in the capital with the prince, and there was no princess's mansion.

In September of that year, the empress died, and the birth mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Xi, took the six palaces...

Everything in Beijing seems to have nothing to do with Cao Yong.

He sat leisurely on the lounge chair in Wutai Mountain Villa, saying that he was flying in the sky and running on the ground, a bizarre world.

Tianbao, who was already half a young man, sat aside, holding a pen and ink in his hands, listening with his eyes shining, and recordings kept happening in his pen.

"Did my father talk about the fairyland? It's a few hours away... People can go to heaven, and they can go to the sea... A thousand miles of horses don't eat grass and instead eat oil?" Tianbao was almost fascinated by hearing his father's description.

But no matter how real the illusion is, isn’t it true?

Not far away, a servant was bent and sweeping the floor. If he was careful, he would find that his ears would occasionally move unconsciously.

Cao Yong smiled and looked at it, saying, "The Dharma is boundless, and for the Buddha, these are just small tricks."

Tianbao was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but yearn for the gods and Buddhas. However, he loved eating jerky the most. He thought about the hardships of studying Buddhism, but he finally gave up.

However, this did not affect his curiosity and confusion about the "Western Pure Land" in his father's eyes.

Cao Yong was also happy to tell him about the "Pigeon World" in his spare time and in his child's expectations.

The memorial of Cao Yong's "nonsense" was recorded, and he also arrived in front of the imperial court half a month later.

After losing his brother and wife, Yongzheng became older.

He could understand Cao Yong's difficulties because he couldn't do it anymore. Now every time he visits the palace servants, he needs to use secret medicine.

For an emperor who looked down on the world, this blow was not bad. He understood Cao Yong's feelings of escaping the world by using Buddha and unwilling to face his wife and children.

Even, he felt a little angry with Chu Yu in his heart. He felt that it was because of her inconsideration as a wife that Cao Yong left home so disheartenedly.

Since he found out that Cao Yong's health has improved, he has the idea of ​​restoring Cao Yong again.

However, after reading the memorials of Cao Yong's conversation with Tianbao, Yongzheng understood that Cao Yong had become deeply addicted to Buddhism and had lost his usual prudence and rationality.

Where can such a minister who is confused by Buddhist teachings and is unconscious?

Two months later, a servant was lost in the Cao family courtyard in Wutai Mountain.

Cao Yong was sitting on the recliner, and this time he really laughed...

A large ship was sent from afar at Guangzhou Pier.

On the pier, people were surging and cheering loudly.

At the bow of the boat, one of them put down his eyes and said to himself: "I, Wei Wu, finally came back..."

The following is not included in the main text.

I bowed and thanked you all for three and a half years. Apart from being grateful and moved, I have nothing else to say. In the past three and a half years, many things have happened and many shortcomings have occurred for Xiaojiu.

Xiaojiu has explained it a long time ago, but maybe everyone didn't pay attention, or maybe it was an excuse. Again, Xiaojiu did not cheat. In January 2011, Xiaojiu found something in the hospital. The doctor said it was very serious and asked to take medicine to control it. If the control could not be eliminated, surgery was needed. Then he started taking medicine. It was fine at the beginning and took it very smoothly for three months. After the re-examination, the effect was not great, so the dressing was changed. The reaction was strong, except for dizziness, it was a severe stimulation of the gastrointestinal stimulation. The stomach was full of annoyance, and it needed to eat constantly and stuff the stomach slowly to feel comfortable. It was not only hormones, but also gastric mucosa. Xiaojiu was obese all the way.

Xiaojiu was really troubled and couldn't stand it, so the update was no longer possible.

When you have a cold or a fever, you can take a sick leave without any burden; but maybe the consequences will be unimaginable, Xiaojiu really doesn't want to say anything.

At this time, I don’t need to or want to comfort me. I always feel that saying more will make me feel like a crow’s mouth. I feel very taboo. I am very evasive. I don’t log in to QQ and don’t even answer the editor’s phone number.

In July, I still had surgery, but fortunately, the result was benign and I escaped.

In September, my mental state improved a lot. Because I went to Jiuzhaigou with Futian and Liu Anhuaming, I was powerless and lay in the hotel for three days, letting down the beautiful scenery.

After returning, I was still weak and lacked energy. After a few days of update, Xiao Cao broke down again.

It was not until December that the update began to resume.

Everyone's tolerance made Xiaojiu feel ashamed. Xiaojiu was still wrong. He should have ended when he found out that something was wrong and had no mind to write a text, rather than delaying it like this. Beginning and ending well is truly worthy of everyone's love for this book.

The old book is over and the past comes to an end.

As the new book begins, Xiaojiu is not only typing, but also starting to exercise every day. Now he weighs 70 kilograms. For Xiaojiu, who is only 160, this is a terrible number. Just think about a ball and sweating there, and you will know.

Now in good condition, we will start to speed up the update speed.

The new book tells the story of a modern man reborn in the Ming Dynasty. From the little novice monk in the mountain temple to the first-class official residence, the little monk climbed up step by step... Everyone is welcome to sign up for the supporting role...

Again, thank you all!!
