I thought I was really depressed. Before I could wait for Qinghetang, Iduli was pouring beans on the way and told the whole story.

Shanxi Governor Jueluo Shilin submitted a memorial to promote the two Zhili Prefectures. Although the imperial examinations have not been approved by the emperor, they are still inseparable from ten.

Cao Yong was really surprised when he heard this.

There are some sayings about "people leave and tea is cold", and there are still some "leave some room".

After all, Yiduli did not retire, but was promoted. According to common sense, after Luo Shilin took over, it would take a year or two to make a big fight, otherwise it would seem like a contrast to his ex's incompetence.

No wonder Yiduli was so depressed that he wanted to have an attack but had nowhere to do it, just because the other party was a red belt.

Although the emperor would deal with the royal family and Jueluo without any trouble, he would never allow his ministers to offend him.

Even if Jueluo Shilin is not authentic, it is not easy for Yiduli to find it back.

"I thought that the Ministry of War was decent after it was done, but I didn't expect it to be a decoration. Everyone knew that the northwest was not peaceful, but no one could make a decision when the fight started. I was in the Ministry of War, and I was more like a general manager... Originally, the emperor had just issued an order to praise Li Wei, and Tian Wenjing was a model governor, so that the governor of the world could learn from it, so Luo Shilin rushed to make fun of it... Who didn't know that Puzhou was the throat of the Three Jins and Zezhou was a heavy land, but it was so easy to promote Zhilizhou to the prefecture? He was better, in order to show his face in front of the emperor, regardless of the local people's livelihood..." Yiduli said indignantly.

Cao Yongyuan only listened as a complaint, and only then did he start to pay attention when he heard the word "Puzhou".

Cao Fu was appointed as the governor of Puzhou, and his major achievements last year were pretty good. With his age and qualifications, he would have to be promoted to the governor after two terms.

Unexpectedly, Puzhou is now going to be promoted to the prefecture.

If Cao Fu is not a child of the Cao family, don’t think about the magistrate of Puzhou. If there is an uncle from the Ministry of Personnel, and a new governor wants to recommend his confidant, you can’t say that you can rob the head and have to play a game.

But since he had a cousin who was the Minister of Revenue at the time, he would probably have been promoted to prefecture as he was promoted to prefecture as he was promoted to prefect.

The local governor may not be afraid of offending the Ministry of War, but it is difficult to offend the Ministry of Revenue.

Even if Luo Shilin knew that Cao Fu was taken care of by the former governor, he would not be too harsh.

In addition to the background of the Cao family, there is another ancient one.

Speaking of which, Hongbian Jueluo has an awkward identity.

It is said that he has privileges, but he is not as leisurely as the royal family. When the clans reach their age, they can often get the title or ask for a title; except for the legitimate branch, the children of the other branch have no titles.

Jueluo was dependent on the royal family. Cao Fu did not mention his cousin, but just said that his compatriots were Prince Yu's legitimate concubine. Jueluo Shilin should be a little polite.

Seeing that Yi Duli was still full of resentment, Cao Yong covered up the secret joy in his heart.

After Yiduli arranged his successor, he began to talk about his hard work in managing Shanxi. Building roads, digging canals, and digging wells are all good things that benefit the country and the people... But after working hard for most of the time, he was transferred back to the capital.

Unexpectedly, it was cheaper.

Cao Yong listened with a smile, and he was also a little surprised.

Since the 48th anniversary of Kangxi, he entered Beijing, the Central Plains of Zhili had droughts for about ten years, but the drought was different in size. In the 52nd year of Kangxi and after the 60th birthday of Kangxi, the drought in Zhili was even heavier every year.

However, in the latter few years after Yongzheng came to power, there were several good years. Even if there were occasional places with irregular rain, the coverage was not very wide.

If it weren't for this, "spreading the stakes into the acres" and "gentlemen and gentry paying food together" would not have been implemented so smoothly.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the people to fill their stomachs in the famine, and the gentry would have a chance to not pay food.

Qinghetang is not far away, and the two of them have arrived after talking.

After entering the private room, the food and food were placed, Yiduli's resentment turned into annoyance: "Fruo, I follow you every time and imitate you, but I can't do your achievements. Am I too not? I am really attentive, but I always omitted things. I have long known the importance of Puzhou and Zezhou. I have to walk every year and specially repaired the official road there, but I never thought of the trick of the Zhoushengfu..."

Seeing that he was depressed, Cao Yong filled him with wine and said, "Just as I said just now, how easy is it to go to the prefecture? How many officials are involved in the back and how much money and salary are there? In the final analysis, the people support the officials. Unexpectedly, it was because they cherish the people..."

Yiduli raised the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a wry smile: "When I didn't return to Beijing earlier, I thought about the prosperity and comfort of the capital, and I hoped to come back soon; when I really came back, I was thinking about the free days there..."

Cao Yong saw that the Shanxi Governor's remarks were just a guide. Yi Duli was so cruel that he made a special trip to him to make trouble.

The governor of a province and the chief magistrate of the border are the local emperors. What kind of day does that mean? The Minister of War seems to be promoted, but most of the ministers of the Ministry of War have been transferred from military positions, each with their own straits. The newly appointed Minister of War is unable to interfere in other government affairs at the time of logistics, and is more like a steward.

Not only that, since the seventeenth prince was promoted to Prince Heshuo and returned to court, the emperor has asked him to serve as an errand in the Ministry of War.

With the previous Grand Secretary of the Head, Iduli, the Minister of War, did not make any sense.

The momentum of his first return to the capital was already gone in Yiduli...

Yiduli was drunk, and Cao Yong sent someone to arrange a carriage to take him home and return home himself.

During the meal, Cao Yong had not been comforted, saying that the emperor and the prince valued him, so he asked him to take the errand. Although the army has not been launched, the Ministry of War has sufficient preparations, and the army is working hard to make contributions.

Yiduli shook his head and said that since he was a substitute, the emperor and the prince valued him as the master Cao Yong; he also said that he did not know about military affairs and could not compare with those ministers who had transferred from military positions.

The emperor arranged for himself to take care of the common affairs of the Ministry of War, but he was afraid that he would have the intention of "substituting the bench". He had done all the hard work, and if the army really wanted to start, he would directly use the assistant minister who was in charge of military affairs to "replace" him.

This was a bit disrespectful. Cao Yong did not dare to induce him to say anything more, so he could only speed up the drinks and make him completely calm...

When he returned to Cao's mansion, Cao Yong told Chu Yu about the promotion of Puzhou to Chuzhou.

Chu Yu certainly knew that Cao Fu was in Puzhou. He was happy at first, then hesitated, and said, "In this way, the days when Uncle and Aunt Wu returned to Beijing will be postponed."

Cao Yong nodded and said, "At the beginning of the establishment of the government, everything is in chaos and officials will not be transferred too frequently. If you become the prefect, you will probably be able to change the place if you manage two or three entrants. Although it is harder, it is easy to achieve political achievements."

When he heard about Cao Fu and his wife, Chu Yu remembered Tian Hu and said, "Calculate the days, Tian Hu is almost here in Beijing..."

The news that Zezhou was promoted to the prefecture in Puzhou, Shanxi appeared in the imperial palace within a few days.

At the same time, there was also accurate news from the Ministry of Personnel that Cao Fu, the former governor of Puzhou, was promoted to the governor of Puzhou for his "integrity and diligence".

Many people like Cao Yong congratulated each other, including Yiduli, who was depressed by the incident a few days ago.

He had no grudges and congratulated Cao Yong specifically for the matter of Cao Fu ascending to the prefect. Then he said shamelessly that he took care of Cao Fu as a governor of Shanxi and asked Cao Yong to remember this great favor.

What Cao Feng is young and tender, his official position is not strong, and he is almost bullied; what Cao Feng is cunning, he is almost deceived, and so on.

In the end, he had to praise Cao Feng again and again. If it were someone else who had just arrived, even if he didn't pull the tiger skin from the capital, he would hug Yiduli's thighs tightly.

Cao Fu is low-key and honest, never showing off his background, nor showing off his close relationship with the governor's family. He is quite diligent in official business and is well-behaved. Although he is not very outstanding, he can win the stable and experienced masters.

When Cao Yong heard this, he understood that his little cousin was afraid that he had no intention of career, so he followed the crowd.

Otherwise, with his intelligence, he would never be like this.

But when Cao Yong thought of the matter of Cao Fu's room, he felt a headache.

It was too rash to adopt Tianhu to Cao Fu. Now Cao Fu has a biological child. If one is not handled properly, it is a hidden danger to the family.

It is not a joke to inherit. Since Tianhu's name is written under Cao Fu's name, from the perspective of the law, it is Cao Fu's eldest son...

"Just say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." A few days later, Tian Hu arrived in Beijing.

Tianhu was the same year as Changsheng, and his birthday was half a month earlier than Changsheng, and he was fourteen years old this year.

When Cao Yong saw him, he was so unrecognizable.

His impression of Tianhu was still the timid look when Tianhu was a child, but now Tianhu is like a different person.

There was the confidence and perseverance of a young man between his eyebrows and eyes, and his waist was straight, looking very energetic.

Cao Fu's handwritten book was also introduced to Beijing at the same time.

Originally, Cao Yong did not agree with Cao Fu's attempt to send Tian to Beijing to prepare for the exam.

When Tianhu was a child, he studied at home with Changsheng. Cao Yong also paid attention to the homework of several children. The Master said that Tianhu had diligence but lacked talent.

Cao Fu himself is a talented person. He adopted his nephew and taught him carefully, and he also means "to hope his son will become a dragon". In the end, it was left unresolved, which shows that Tianhu really has no talent.

Where is the road to the imperial examination so easy to walk?

It is just that there are talented people, lack of fortune, and there are many people who fail the exam; there is not to be forced.

It can be seen that the current Tianhu, Cao Yong always feels that there is something different.

After reading Cao Fu's letters from home, Cao Yong had a little understanding.

Tian Hu's plan was similar to Changsheng. He wanted to take the children's exam, and he got fame and took the pen-style exam, avoiding the provincial exam and taking the official position.

Looking at his nephew who had become different, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel curious and said, "Is it your father's intention to enter the officialdom? Or do you mean?"

Tianhu straightened his waist and said, "It's my nephew's meaning, and my father and mother agreed..."

After all, he is a fourteen-year-old child. No matter how steady and mature he is, he will inevitably be filled with emotions. His little face is tense and looks quite serious.

But there seems to be something else between the eyebrows and eyes, except being solemn.

It was hazy and Cao Yong couldn't explain it clearly, but he also felt that this energetic nephew was much cuter than when he was a child.

Since he was his nephew who returned to Beijing, Cao's mansion had to hold a welcome banquet that night.

Chu Yu carefully saw many differences.

For example, Tian Hu's clothes were used to be fresh and not old, but the materials were all good, and the needlework looked familiar, such as Su Xin sewing them himself. The materials were still Chu Yu, the eldest sister-in-law, worried that the two sisters-in-law who were outside, and chose the fashionable good materials in the capital.

Let’s look at the small pendants of Tianhu purse and jade pendants. There is nothing short of everything, and it is quite exquisite.

When Tianhu mentioned Cao Fu and Su Xin, he was full of contempt. When he mentioned his two new cousins, he was not at all uncomfortable...
