Chapter 1000 New Emperor

November 20th, the New Emperor's Ascension Day.

Cao Yong Chouzheng (2 a.m.) got up, and Yin (4 a.m.) arrived at the square in front of the Ganqing Palace.

Join the royal family of eighth-center country and above, and from the second-rank civil and military officials, they lined up with them.

Next, the fourth prince's performance alone.

First, he was dressed in plain clothes and went to the coffin to burn incense, proclaiming the emperor who was ordered to kneel and kowtow three kowtows and nine kowtows. After receiving the order, he went to the Eastern Palace to change his clothes and led the princes and ministers to the Empress Dowager of Yonghe Palace.

The middle door of Yonghe Hall was wide open, and the Empress Dowager sat upright on the high position of the central hall and received a salute from the new emperor.

Although she had a cold face and was not happy, she showed up in front of the princes and ministers and received a full ceremony from the new emperor, which disappointed everyone who originally wanted to watch the fun.

Only the Thirteenth Prince, who knew the details, stood in the prince's queue and was very worried.

Yesterday, he came to be a lobbyist.

Although he was unwilling to get involved in the entanglement between the new emperor and the empress dowager and his son, he had no other choice.

As a son of man, threatening his mother with the safety of his compatriots' brothers and sisters is already contrary to "filial piety".

If it spreads, it will be a palace ban scandal.

Since it is a "scandal", the fewer people know the better.

Yesterday he rushed straight into Yonghe Palace and risked angering the Queen Mother, and sent all the people who served the Queen Mother.

He would not tell the Fourth Prince about the threat, but just politely asked the Queen Mother to consider the brotherly relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince. If the mother and son are incompatible, if the new emperor and the Fourth Prince have a rift, who can come forward to resolve it?

The Empress Dowager has been in the harem for fifty years, but she can’t hear the hidden meaning of the Thirteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Prince's tree attracts great power and has military achievements, so he is afraid of his brother. The only one who can protect him is his biological mother.

The lights of Yonghe Palace lit up for one night.

This morning, the Empress Dowager finally opened the palace gate and appeared in the main hall of Yonghe Palace to receive the new emperor's bowing.

Her lips were pursed tightly, and her eyes looked at the Fourth Prince with a little coldness.

Then, she looked away and looked at the royal prince.

Third Prince, fifth Prince, seventh Prince, ninth Prince... Sixteenth Prince, seventeenth Prince... Even the youngest twenty-fourth Prince is here...

But she couldn't help but frown when she didn't see the adopted son's fifteenth prince.

She is not a fool. In the past few days, except for the Fourth Prince and a few ministers of the King, there are only the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince. If you don’t see others again, she certainly knows that her access here is restricted.

She was full of surprise, but she was not good at this time, so she could only watch the Fourth Prince take the prince and the ministers away.

She thought about it carefully and realized that not only today, the fifteenth prince has never appeared since the death of the Emperor Daxing. Even the Emperor Daxing and the new Emperor ascended the throne, what's wrong?

Although it was not her biological son, the fifteenth prince was raised by her since childhood. She was closer to her adopted son than the fourth prince.

What the Thirteenth Prince said yesterday was still in his ears, and the Queen Mother felt a chill in her heart...

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Fourth Prince was promoted to the throne under the guidance of the ritual official.

Because during the national mourning period, except for bells and drums, other instruments were only used for furnishings.

Next, there are tedious and long greetings.

Then, an edict was issued to amnesty the world, and the next year was Yongzheng. The next year was the first year of Yongzheng. The edict was thirty entrusted items, one by one by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Even if I didn’t give up the congratulations to you, it took me more than two hours to finish my etiquette.

Finally, he once again praised Emperor Daxing's great achievements and the fact that he honored Emperor Daxing's posthumous title and the Empress Dowager.

When the sage driver moved, the princes and officials knelt down to deliver the sage driver, it was already noon.

Cao Yong followed everyone out of the palace and felt a little happy.

When Yongzheng ascended the throne, the Thirteenth Prince also appointed the Prime Minister and the general direction of history has not changed.

No matter whether the mother and son fight or brothers fight in this palace, in general, the alternation of the throne is quite peaceful.

Because the new emperor ascended the throne and Yu Yu, he didn't have to sit in the yamen today. After coming out of the palace, Cao Yong returned home directly.

After spending most of the day he was hungry.

When the food came, there was a table full of vegetarian dishes, and Cao Yong's appetite suddenly decreased a lot: "Tomorrow, I will let people fry some mushroom sauce, eat vegetarian all day long, and have a bland mouth."

According to the rules, this minister must stay for the Emperor Daxing for twenty-seven days.

If someone else was the emperor, Cao Yong would not be so obedient. He is the one who is not happy with meat. Even if he is tired of eating big meat occasionally, he is also indispensable for poultry, eggs, fish and shrimp.

However, thinking about Kangxi's "grace" to the Cao family and the legendary stick-like stick-like place in Emperor Yongzheng, Cao Yong decided to eat the 27-day vegetarian meal honestly.

As soon as he finished using it, a maid came to report with a visitor, and the general manager sent a message to the second door, and the guests came to the front yard.

Cao Yong rinsed his mouth, took the reply and read it. It was Li Wei who came.

Cao Yong remembered what Li Wei said a few days ago that the incident of being released from the Taoist platform was probably due to this.

He did not delay and changed into a plain suit to go to the front yard to entertain guests.

Although Li Wei is only a fifth-rank doctor, he will become a chief official in just a few years. Although Cao Yong has a title, he may not be as decent as Li Wei when the truth comes to his mind.

He was afraid that Cao Yuan would treat people according to his grade, so he had already explained that Li Wei came over and led him directly to the main hall.

Therefore, Li Wei was accompanied by Cao Yuan and having tea in the main hall.

Li Wei was worried about the courtesy of the Cao family and did not feel flattered. Speaking of which, he had lived in the Cao Mansion a few years ago. Whether it was the previous escape from prison or the later appointment of officials, he relied on Cao Yong to help him.

He came here today, but he was shameless.

Thinking of the past kindness of the Cao family, I did not repay the slightest response. Now I am coming to the door again. Even though Li Wei is a rough man, I feel a little embarrassed to come.

It was just that time was tight and there was no one in the capital to ask for, so he could only come to the door with shamelessness.

Seeing Cao Yong coming, Li Wei stood up and bowed, "Master Cao!"

Cao Yong took two steps quickly, entered the hall and said, "Jie is here again. Yesterday, he mentioned you with Fei Pi, thinking that you might be leaving Beijing before the New Year. Is there any news?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "Zhili Poster will preach and take office after the New Year."

After hearing this, Cao Yong had some surprise.

He thought that the Fourth Prince valued Li Wei and would give him an important thing. Indeed, it was the same Taoist platform, and his jurisdiction was different, so his rights and influence were different. The preaching of Zhiliyi was considered a leisurely lack.

"The yamen is in Baoding?" Cao Yong asked.

Li Wei replied: "Yes, it's not too far from Beijing."

Cao Yong remembered that Li Wei wanted to govern Jiangnan in the end, and this idle Taoist platform was just an excessive. As with Li Wei's colleagues, Cao Yong admired Li Wei's ability very much.

Although he didn't read much, Li Wei was open-minded, conscientious and responsible, and never greedy for money and property, which is particularly valuable in the officialdom.

This is also related to the wealth of the Li family, who is a large landlord in Xuzhou and has two thousand hectares of fertile land.

But he is not a delicate personality, and there is an old lady who controls the family economy, so he has no chance to go to the capital. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a rich man in the countryside.

Who would have thought that the family fortune of this "local rich man" is no less wealthy than that of the first-rank official in the capital.

Cao Yong also heard from the Cheng family that he realized the glory of the Li family in Xuzhou. Even the Cheng family, his ancestors also married their daughter to the Li family.

Cao Yong did not expect that Li Wei, who had a wealthy family, came to borrow money today.

"The Fourth Master... The Emperor sent someone to send a message and asked me to take my family to Beijing. Our old lady is over 60 years old. As a son, I am tired of her. She is already unfilial. How can I make the old lady wrong in my daily life? However, the capital is not easy to live, and the south city is mixed with fish and dragons, afraid that the old lady will be purified. The price of the house in the inner city is high. I am anxious to buy a better house. I can't get a few thousand taels of silver. In recent years, although I have sent someone to send money to Beijing several times, Mr. Cao knows that the relationship between people in the officialdom is the most deadly, and there is no room for leftover? Now in a hurry, I can only come and beg Mr. Cao. When I get the silver from my hometown after the New Year, I will return it immediately." In the end, Li Wei was already ashamed.

Cao Yong was just a little surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously and said, "What a big deal, it's worth the embarrassment of Jie? You are a rich man, but I still believe you? Since your aunt is going to Beijing, you must find a proper place to settle down." He said, "Why don't you go to find the Sixteenth Master tomorrow and see the houses in the bank of the Internal Affairs Office that have been under debt repayment. There are houses built by officials and families. The layout is repaired, so I think it's more refined."

When Li Wei heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect the house of the Interior Ministry. I looked at a few places outside, either empty for too long and dilapidated; or the house is small and not spacious. I heard that the House of the Interior Ministry auctioned many houses at the end of each year, so there was room for choice."

Cao Yong smiled and said, "Isn't it? This house is no better than other people. You have to find someone who is in tune with me. It's also worth spending a few more money."

After saying that, Cao Yong called the servant to call Cao Yuan over and asked him to find Chu Yu to get the silver notes.

Since Li Wei wanted to buy a big house in the inner city, a few thousand taels of silver might not be enough. He asked Cao Yuan to get 10,000 taels of silver in the Bank of the Internal Affairs Bureau and handed it to Li Wei. Each silver bill was 1,000 taels, a total of ten.

When Li Wei saw this, he hurriedly said, "I can't use these, there are too many!" As he said that, he counted out five of them and left them, and the rest would be returned to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong said, "You should take it first. Since your aunt comes, your sister-in-law, nephew, and nieces will also come with you... I heard that your eldest nephew is still in his teens and has not been married for a few years. The house is small, so why is it better to live in a spacious place..."

Li Wei is an open-minded person. After hearing what Cao Yong said, he solemnly thanked him, without saying anything, and said, "Then I, Li Wei, thanked Master Cao, and asked Master Cao to hand him down the paper and pen!"

Although Cao Yong wanted to say something generously without having to establish a document, he was afraid that Li Wei would think too much, so he sent someone to come over with paper and pen.

However, Li Wei saw Cao Yong look faint after hearing that he asked for paper and pen, and said a little embarrassed, "Master Cao, please don't be too careful. It's not that Li Wei is a petty family. It's just that Li Wei is about to take up a foreign post. If there is a mistake, it's better to be safer in everything..."

Cao Yong heard this and felt a little strange. He didn't seem to be an official, so why did he feel like he was going to die?

"Is there another intention to go again?" Cao Yong lowered his voice and asked.

Li Wei glanced at him and said softly: "I'm not hiding it from Master Cao, I'll let me arrest the thief..."
