Chapter 1266 Vertical and Horizontal (1)
Chapter 1266 Zongheng (Part 1)
Although the Thirteenth Master and the Sixteenth Prince were the Prince Heshuo, they were still spitting out of their mouths by the angry Yongzheng.
Of course, he could not say that he was stimulated by the word "the eldest grandson", but instead pushed all the mistakes to the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince.
"What are Hongchang and Hongpu doing? Hongpu is fine, but the title has not yet been established. Hongchang has a title. He doesn't want to be a good job, but instead flatters this and pleases that. What exactly does he want to do?" Yongzheng became more and more annoyed as he spoke. In the end, his voice became sharp.
If Hongchang was here, he would probably have to shout for justice. Among the Holy Ancestor and Grandparents, not many of them were awarded titles. Hongxi was the prince and Hongchang was the belle. Both of them had their homes, so it was normal to have some contact.
In Yongzheng's eyes, he became a "cluster" and was full of anger and did not teach his son. The father and son lived.
Although the Thirteenth Master and the Sixteenth Master knew that the emperor was venting his anger, they could only kneel down and apologize.
The Sixteenth Master is fine, he is in his prime and is also a big lump on his knees. When the Thirteenth Master kneels down, he reveals his gray hair behind his head and his slightly hunched back.
When Yongzheng saw this, his face darkened, he sighed in a long sigh, and stood up to help Thirteenth Master up.
The Thirteenth Master stood up and said with shame: "It's not like a slave. He didn't discipline his son well, which made the emperor bother him."
The Sixteenth Master was obedient and apologized.
Yongzheng shook his head and said, "I am not confused yet. I am really upset just now, and it is on your head. You are my arms, and government affairs are heavy, and it is inevitable that you will be lazy in housework." Speaking of this, he felt a little unwilling and gritted his teeth and said, "I thought Hongxi was a peaceable person, but he was connecting with the royal family. What exactly did he want to do?"
When Master Sixteenth heard this, his mouth twitched.
They are all descendants of the Holy Ancestor, and it is normal for cousins to interact with each other. Hongli and Hongxi are close to each other, and there is no hidden secrets in the relationship between the children of the royal family and Hongxi. Now they have become "connected clan members".
If the matter is not yours, the Sixteenth Master will follow you and take a joke; but if it is related to his eldest son, the crime will make people feel heavy.
It is related to Hongxi, and the emperor is taboo, and it is not a good time to defend himself. The Sixteenth Master had to stand honestly behind the Thirteenth Master.
Yongzheng was just venting his feelings. If he followed his original intention, he would like to take Hongxi's job immediately and order him to stay at home and not run around.
When it comes to the Panggezhuang Palace or the Eight Banners garrisons around the palace, the clearest thing to know is Yongzheng.
From before Hongxi left the palace, the eyeliner at the sticker entered the palace first. The Eight Banners garrisons around the palace were also controlled by two old ministers of the Qiandi who were valued by Yongzheng.
If Hongxi has the intention to rebel, Yongzheng would not believe it.
But he also knew that Hongxi had indeed been loved by the Holy Ancestor. The Holy Ancestor wanted to imitate the Ming Taizu, but it was not groundless in the late Kangxi period.
Among the court officials, not one or two people have agreed with this.
The legitimate and legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate is the most taboo thing Yongzheng has.
Both the Thirteenth Master and the Sixteenth Master saw this, but as a minister, they couldn't say anything. They were also kind-hearted, not the one who took the blame. Otherwise, following Yongzheng's words, even if Hongxi did not die, he would be unable to escape the disaster and shed his skin.
After coming down from the imperial court, the Thirteenth Master and the Sixteenth Master both looked a little bad.
As the emperor's arms, they knew that Yongzheng was not generous. They seemed to treat Hongxi and were not as good as the thorns in their eyes. In fact, they could not say that they were thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh.
But the rumors about Hongxi involved both of their eldest sons, which was a bit unusual.
Although they are in high positions now, the more they are, the more people are thinking about pulling them down and replacing them.
"Brother Thirteen, look at what's going on? Is someone deliberately targeting you and my brothers, or is someone using Hongxi to make trouble?" Master Sixteen said with some confusion.
He passed the suspicious candidate in his mind, but he still couldn't tell which one had such courage, and at the same time fired a fire at the two most powerful princes of the dynasty.
When the Thirteenth Master heard this, his brows frowned tightly: "If you want to deliberately set up a plan against you and my brothers, you always have to do something. Now, there are not many people in the royal family who can replace you and my brothers."
Not everyone trusts the emperor. Except for the two of them, he also values Master Shiqi. Master Shiqi is not keen on government affairs and is close to his two brothers, so he will naturally not cause any more troubles.
The more I talked about these, the more confused the brothers became, and in the end I didn't guess what was going on.
"No matter what, we must teach Hongpu and Hongchang and Hongxi to stay away, so we may not be affected at any time." When the road was split outside the palace gate, the Thirteenth Master solemnly warned.
The Sixteenth Master nodded and rode his horse to Cao's Mansion.
Today, Cao Yong rests.
When the Sixteenth Master arrived, Cao Yong was in the living room to entertain guests.
The one who visited Cao's mansion today was the Twelve Master and his wife.
When Master Sixteen was stunned for a while when he heard about it, he was still stunned. To be honest, when he first came out of the Yangxin Palace, the person he had suspected in his heart was Master Sixteen.
Among the royal kings, except those who were not favored by the emperor, the one who was the most ups and downs was the 12th Master who was demoted to Duke Zhenguo.
The Twelfth Master was demoted from the prince to the Duke of the State after Prince Limi died, and he had some connection with Hongxi.
The Thirteenth Master and the Sixteenth Master have also asked for love for the Thirteenth Master in front of the imperial court, but they have no use. They realized that they had done their best, but the Thirteenth Master did not believe it and seemed to have complained. Because of this, the brothers have been much distant in recent years.
After hesitating for a moment, Master Sixteen decided to show up.
In the living room, Cao Yong sat in the hall, wondering.
The guest and host sat in half an hour and ate several cups of tea. The 12th Master was already playing, haha, and did not explain the purpose of the visit.
If it were someone else, Cao Yong would have been impatient and asked the other party to explain his purpose happily; but the 12th Master is of higher generation than Cao Yong and has a noble status. If he really said what Cao Yong was in a dilemma, he would not be able to say no to him, so Cao Yong had to gossip with him.
The couple came together, and since it was hard to say about the Twelve Masters, it must have been said by the Duke of the Kingdom.
Although the Duke of the Kingdom is an elder, his identity is not as good as Chu Yu, the gentle princess. Even if he wants to say something to Chu Yu, he still has to discuss it.
When Cao Yong thought of this, he felt at ease and chatted with the Twelve Master without saying a word.
When he heard that the Sixteenth Master was coming, the Twelfth Master stood up with Cao Yong, his expression a little awkward.
Both are the Holy Ancestor Princes, one is a powerful Prince Heshuo, and the other is an idle Duke Zhenguo, whose identities are already a world of difference.
The Sixteenth Master looked as usual, with a little surprise, and bowed happily: "It's a coincidence to meet the Twelfth Brother. I haven't seen the Twelfth Brother for a while. I'll pay my respects to my brother."
The 12th Master forced a little smile and said, "I dare not, I dare not, my 16th brother is a busy man, and I don't have time to pay attention to us idle people."
His words were filled with sourness, and the Sixteenth Master did not accept his words, but instead said with a little curiosity: "I heard that the Twelfth Brother has been recuperating in the mansion in the past two years. Today, it seems that the Twelfth Brother is in good shape, and I think he is already in peace."
The so-called "rehabilitation" is just a "fig leaf" after idleness at home. The Twelve Master was choked and blushed, and said in a muffled voice: "Fortunately, I'm not dead at all."
Seeing him like this, the Sixteenth Master felt boring. He took Cao Yong to sit down and started to eat tea quietly.
The tea used by Cao's house today tastes different from the past. It is not the common Tieguanyin and Longjing. The tea soup is extremely clear and the tea fragrance is long.
"Good tea!" Master Sixteen couldn't help but praise.
He sincerely praised Cha Hao. When the Twelve Master looked at him, he felt that he was acting as a prince and no longer cared about him. It was really hateful.
The Twelfth Master was so embarrassed that he couldn't sit still. He stood up and said to Cao Yong: "There are still common things in the mansion that need to be taken care of by me, so I won't bother you anymore."
Even the wife who was traveling with her was waiting. The Twelve Master said a word and got up and walked out.
Cao Yong couldn't keep it, so he had to send it out of the gate.
The Sixteenth Master did not get up, but sat leisurely in his original position to eat tea.
With his prince's honor, there is no need to pretend to be a twelve masters, but he still has the status of brothers, so he seems a little arrogant after all.
This is not the usual attitude of Master Shiliu.
"What happened? Is there anything to do with the Twelfth Master?" Cao Yong saw the strangeness of the Sixteenth Prince and asked.
Master Sixteen snorted coldly and said, "The days have only been quiet for a few days, and someone is restless again. He is so brave that he is completely out of the blue. He actually wants to frame me and Brother Thirteen!"
Cao Yong was shocked when he heard this.
What a great amount of energy does it mean to frame the two princes at once, and they are the two princes that the emperor values and trusts the most.
Among the royal kings, who is capable of doing this?
Seeing Cao Yong's surprise, the Sixteenth Master frowned and said, "Are you confused and disorderly? I and Thirteenth Brother have been thinking for a long time, but I still haven't determined which one is so capable. If you want to harm others and oneself, the only one who can replace me and Thirteenth Brother is the Seventeenth Brother. The Seventeenth Brother has no intention, and the Twelfth Brother has no ability. If you say that harming others and not benefiting yourself and just to mess around, then this person is too idle."
After hearing the Sixteenth Master tell the details, Cao Yong secretly swallowed and spitted.
I really didn't expect that I just wanted to praise Hongxi, but I involved two parts of the Zhuang Palace and the Yi Palace, which was really funny.
Of course, Cao Yong, the initiator, did not intend to frame the two princes; the other person who contributed to the fire was someone else.
Thinking of this, Cao Yong's face became more serious. These two royal palaces are the backers of the Cao family.
The Sixteenth Master no longer talked about it and expressed his intention: "Although I am the prince now, I am under everyone's eyes, and my behavior is not as cheap as you. I really can't believe in others, so I have to come and ask you. You don't have to refuse. I know that the old man has left some people for you. You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must beware of others. Although I am not fighting for power, I cannot let others be arrogant."
Since the Sixteenth Master said his request, Cao Yong agreed happily.
The two have been together for many years, and Cao Yin has left behind any man. The Sixteenth Master has not asked about it, but he knows this through clues.
Inner house, Wutong Garden.
After hearing the Duke's wife, Chu Yu's face was a little stiff.
