Chapter 907 Clouds and Fog

Not everyone is looking forward to making a name for themselves, such as the Ninth Prince.

Two years ago, he built a garden in Rehe and enjoyed the days of Rehe. Who made him become more and more fat and unable to withstand the heat of the heat?

Although I knew that in June, the prince would return to Beijing, the ninth prince did not expect that it would be his turn to work on his and the tenth prince.

The Ninth Prince also ran to the imperial court, thinking about whether he could take off his job, but Kangxi only told him to do a good job, so he sent him to rest assurance.

In June, the capital city is the hottest time, and the stove is just like a fire.

The Ninth Prince was not worried about resisting the order, but he was not a diligent person. He had been "reorganized" in Rehe for several days, and he had more than 300 miles from Rehe to the capital. He rode a carriage and set off every morning. He would go to the inn to rest for ten days.

If the Tenth Prince hadn't been impatient and impatient, the Ninth Prince could have stayed in Huairou for a few days. After all the way, it was already the end of June when the two princes returned to the capital.

Even the Tenth Prince, who has never been worried, has a little worried and said, "Brother Ninth, the emperor knows that he has been delayed for so long on the road. He must denounce it. How can this be done?"

The Ninth Prince gave him a blank look and said, "Is it too late for my tenth brother to remember this now? I have already submitted a memorial to the Emperor Ama, saying that he was hit by the heat on the road and delayed his trip. Anyway, the Emperor Ama knows me, and he is the most unbearable to heat."

Speaking of this, he was also a little proud.

This "no prospect" is also a good thing. If anyone else was to delay the emperor's chores; he was the only one who had never been attentive in politics, and the emperor's father didn't really expect him, but he just asked him to have a name.

If he is really "diligent", he is probably uneasy and will be the emperor's father.

This delay made me go to Rehe with Beizi’s mansion to find someone to break the way.

When the Ninth Prince returns to Beijing, there will be something tricky waiting for him.

"Has the Fourteenth Prince's outside house been accidentally 'going'?" After hearing the news, the Ninth Prince's face turned gloomy.

It’s not the time when the weather is dry, why do you “go out of water” well?

The Ninth Prince is the prince, so I dare not say anything else, but I still have some knowledge.

Anyone who is involved in the powerful and powerful will probably not be an accident.

Just like the Seventh Prince's "falling off a horse", it seems to be an "accident", but in fact the evil slave is crazy and plots to murder his master.

"Have you found out clearly? Who made the move?" asked the Ninth Prince.

The housekeeper bowed and replied, "Master, this happened just before. I only knew that there was no living selves. The other slaves were still asking people to investigate."

"Hands are so hot!" The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Are they the little kids of the Wanyan family stretched their claws?"

Although it was the outer house of the Fourteenth Prince and not the Ninth Prince, after all, the Fourteenth Prince entrusted him before leaving, and he has been taking care of him in the past few years.

The housekeeper thought for a while and replied, "Master, it doesn't seem to be the meaning of the Fourteenth Prince. Wu is the top of the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince also wanted to do something in his early years. Didn't he get the Fourteenth Prince's warning?"

The Ninth Prince nodded, thinking about Wanyan, who had always been "virtuous" in front of others, and said, "That's right, it shouldn't be her. Who dares to commit crimes in the inner city, and is so rampant?"

He was just angry at the other party's arrogance. As for the people who were burned to death for "flowing away", he did not put it in the heart of the Ninth Prince: "Pay twenty taels of silver and give the Qiuhong family a pension..."

Speaking of this, Prince Ninth felt glad.

Fortunately, he prepared early and knew that the more the 14th Prince was in the limelight, the more people were staring at the Wu family. Before the 14th Prince left the capital, he had discussed with the 14th Prince, and "stolen the pillars" to exchange a maid from Beizi's mansion for Wu family.

The Wu family moved to a house under the ninth prince's name and could not hide.

Even if there was no entrusted by the 14th Prince, the Ninth Prince was angry: "Check carefully, don't leave it at all. I want to see who is so brave and dares to get into trouble on Tai Sui's head..."

Wu is the foreign favorite of the 14th Prince, and this is not a secret among the royal family.

Although she is not the official wife and concubine of the 14th Prince, nor has she been included in the royal jade plate, many people know about her in the powerful and powerful families in the capital.

The female family often talked about it, saying that Wu, the fourteenth prince's outer favor, and Yang, the other party.

Although Yang did not enter Prince Jian’s mansion during his lifetime, he was favored only during his lifetime, which made the wives and concubines of the royal family retreat. After his death, he was mourned and the young princess who remained in the name of the royal family’s wife and concubines.

Earlier, some people speculated that Prince Jian's successor was taken over by Yang's family. Can he tolerate a concubine's daughter? There are many serious people waiting to see her jokes.

Unlike, this is not very old, but he is doing things properly. He is not arrogant or jealous, so that people cannot find any mistakes.

Even if the concubine left behind two legitimate princes, they could only treat their stepmother sincerely and respectfully.

Wu's side seems to be less decent than Yang's, and more like "hiding a sweetheart in the golden house". Few have seen her. I heard that in the early years, the 14th concubine proposed to let Wu enter the palace, but was rejected by the 14th prince.

At first, everyone thought that the Fourteenth Prince was a "official slave" of Wu and was not inferior to the public.

Unexpectedly, in the past ten years since Wu's family, there has never been a newcomer or a man or a woman by his side. In this way, he has everything he says.

You know, even when Yaerjiang A "possessed" Yang, he did not delay the royal family's family's family; just when he was carrying out funerals for Yang's family's death, the royal family also added a concubine to the concubine.

Wu has long become a charming "vix spirit", otherwise how could the 14th Prince be fascinated by a woman?

It’s strange. Before something happened in the past, everyone thought that the Fourteenth Prince had a good relationship with others, and was very good at dealing with others. When the younger generation is close to each other and respect the elders, everyone should praise him.

After the incident of the Fourteenth Prince's "going to the water" in the house, everyone thought that the top Wu of the Fourteenth Prince's heart had been buried in the fire, so they had to say "tsk tsk" twice and sighed a few words.

It was the same thing that the "accident" was attributed to the 14th concubine.

However, in a few days, rumors spread to the ears of the Fourteenth Concubine. This was a bit slight and eye-catching. Even the Fourteenth Concubine's family thought it was her, so they asked people to go to the palace to ask.

The Fourteenth Concubine was really shocked and angry. Since she knew that something happened to Wu, she was in a state of ease in her dormitory. It was not that she was guilty of being a thief, but that she was guilty of not being a thief.

She knew that she was not her own. Even if she hated Wu, she would not do so resolutely and would break up with her husband, but could her husband trust her?

Now, even her family members blame her for being "reckless". How can the Fourteenth Concubine not be wronged?

She couldn't stand it and finally fell ill.

The imperial physician only said that it was "heart fire stagnation" and "external wind evil", which allowed her to rest with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, she was sick at this time, and the real illness became a "fake disease". She was very utterly gossiped about it for a while...

Compared with the bustling capital, Rehe is much more peaceful.

In Taiwan and Fujian, Cao Yong only knew that the imperial edict to attack Taiwan and suppress the rebellion had been issued, and now he was waiting for the good news from the Fujian Navy.

What makes people happy is that news comes from Shandong and Henan that it is raining.

Although it is a bit late to see July, as long as it is not drought for years, it is good if there is rain. Crops can be replanted and people can starve to death less.

The fourth prince thought so too. Cao Yong saw this from his more relaxed expression.

As for Shanxi, where there is no news of rainfall, the courts have different policies.

Shaanxi is in the northwest and wants to provide logistics for the Northwest army. If it is not in chaos, Shi Shilun, the Governor of the Grain Transport, was in Shaanxi and was in charge of the western transportation of grain. In Shanxi, according to the court's meaning, there are many "rich gentry and giant businessmen" and "the family has surplus grain", and they collect grain at a fair price to help disaster victims.

Shanxi is in the heart of the Central Plains, and there are many Eight Banners garrisons. Even if some people are dissatisfied with the imperial court's "robbery of the rich and helping the poor", they will not cause any trouble.

Although Cao Yong's relief article was rejected and not adopted by Kangxi, it was not of no use at all.

He also made a special trip to issue an order, denounced local officials and mentioned the drawbacks of officials embezzling and removing grain from local granaries. However, the order only showed that he was a Qingming king and knew everything about the lack of grain in local granaries, but he did not intend to investigate and investigate.

The reason is nothing else, so I still want to use the word "stability", which not only hits local officials, but also does not want to cause trouble.

Cao Yong felt sad. Even though the elderly emperor knew that the country had become corrupt officials and the people's livelihood was difficult, the officialdom was already terrible, and he did not have the courage to dig out the rotten meat on it.

However, although Kangxi "seeking perfection", he was not confused. Finally, he knew that the Fourth Prince was capable and was a person who was sincere in serving the country and the people.

After the Fourth Prince recovered from illness, Kangxi was lucky to Wang Yuan, which resolved the rift caused by the father and son due to different political views.

Inside and outside the palace, there was another scene of a kind father and a filial son, which made the third prince complain.

Even if he understood and knew that the position was "uncompromised", he would never have the small actions he had before. However, as the chief of all the princes, it would be impossible to give up completely.

Now, he only hopes that his father will live for two more years and that the fourteenth prince in the northwest will be defeated. In this way, the throne may fall on him calmly.

Perhaps because of different positions, different perceptions.

Earlier, the third prince only thought that following the escort in front of the emperor was favored by the emperor's father, which was a good thing.

This year when I arrived in Rehe, Hulala followed a bunch of princes, and the third prince couldn't help but think too much.

Rather than saying "pampering", it is better to say "precaution". If a capable prince in the capital and stands alone, what is the emperor's father "precaution"?

It’s not easy to think too much, but it makes people feel scared.

In the comfortable life of Rehe, Cao Yong ushered in his 28th birthday.

Because it is not a full birthday, the couple did not want to do it, but in the bad customs in the officialdom, the officials must be filial to the superiors.

Especially since Cao Yong was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, his birthday was no secret in the officialdom.

In this way, there are many birthday gifts sent by officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Revenue is directly under Cao Yong, who was staying in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in his early years. Now many colleagues are still there. Everyone knows the friendship between the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong, and is willing to maintain a relationship.

Cao Yuan from the capital also wrote a letter. After mid-June, officials from Beijing successively sent birthday gifts to Cao's mansion, and relatives and old families also sent people to visit him one after another.

In this way, Cao Yong couldn't help but find a good restaurant, so he asked for two tables to wait for the table in the garden and thanked his colleagues.

As for the inner house, two tables of wine were also placed, and Chu Yu accompanied the female guest.

As for the troupes and big shows, they were all exempted from the situation. Now the northwest is fighting the chaos in the southwest and the Central Plains is severely drought. Cao Yong dared not show off at this time.

If the censor is targeted by the censor and randomly detained accusation, which angers Kangxi, wouldn’t it be unfair?

Among the princes and grandsons, Cao Yong only invited the Fourth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince who were both officials in the same yamen. The Fourth Prince was "busy" in business and only sent someone to send gifts. The Sixteenth Prince, together with Yidu, brought several officials of the Internal Affairs Office who were familiar to Cao Yong to have a drink.

The 16th Prince's hand was green and green, which was the birthday gift Cao Yong gave him a few days ago - the jade cigarette holder.

Although the Sixteenth Prince quit opium, he was not spared because of the promotion of cigarettes in the capital in recent years.

Cao Yong persuaded him several times, but he couldn't stop him. After all, this tobacco leaf is different from opium. It has been passed down to China for hundreds of years, and the harm is not that great.
