Chapter 1,400: Continue to go (with new book announcement)

Outside the East Chang'an Gate, there were snails ringing.

Emperor Yongzheng led all civil and military officials to see off the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

The traveling generals led by General Fu Erdan all knelt down with bows and arrows, and the scene was particularly solemn.

Yongzheng got off the imperial guard, walked to Fu Erdan, took off the beads on his neck, and put them on Fu Erdan himself.

Fu Erdan was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and choked and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

The princes and ministers watching looked at Fu Erdan, and they were envious and jealous.

Most of the ministers who could survive the imperial court were officials who had served in the Kangxi Dynasty, but like Fu Erdan, they were trusted and respected by two generations of emperors, but very few were trusted and respected.

Only Cao Yong stood in the queue with a calm expression, but his eyes looked at the person kneeling behind Fu Erdan.

This time, when the imperial court sent troops, Wanyan Yongqing went to war with the general as a third-rank general.

Yongqing was several years older than Cao Yong, and he was in his forties. For military officers, if they could not go further, they would retire in a few years. For him, this Western Expedition was the last chance.

In addition, the Lord is his in-laws and elder, so he can take care of him and will not be excluded or robbed of merit.

Others didn't know about it, but Cao Yong knew that this was just the prelude, and the west was going to be in chaos for several years.

The famous Military Affairs Office is about to be established.

There were two more lines behind Yongqing, and Zheng Hu was kneeling, and he was the fourth-rank Dusi.

He had no intention of career, but because his girl was wronged in her early years, she gave up her official position.

This time, he begged Cao Yong to squeeze onto the list of Western Expeditions, hoping to establish meritorious deeds, glorify his ancestors, and retain titles for his descendants.

He followed Cao Yong for many years and worked for the Cao family in his early years. Since he had this intention, Cao Yong naturally helped him.

In addition to Fu Erdan, an old minister valued by the emperor, most of the generals who went to the expedition were as deserted as Yongqing for many years, or Zheng Hu who had no foundation in the army. The successful disciples of the major royal palaces were rarely listed.

The royal kings knew in their hearts that the man on the dragon throne seemed gentle and was always guarded against the royal family.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, no one stood up stupidly. He just looked at Prince Yi, and there was a lot of gloating in his eyes.

So what if the emperor is valued? The military officers under Prince Yi’s mansion were abandoned in the Western Expedition.

Especially Wang Quantai, there was a news earlier that he said he wanted to be the deputy Fu Erdan, but in the end it was in vain...

Prince Yi didn't realize it at all, but it was not difficult for familiar people to notice that his already thin body became more and more hunched. His gray braids seemed to become more and more thin...

After the ceremony, the emperor returned to the palace. Among the civil and military ministers, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were to go to Deshengmen to continue another farewell ceremony, while other officials returned to the six ministries' offices...

After several years of operation, the Ministry of Revenue was no longer the tragic Ministry of Revenue in the late Kangxi period. Under the premise of abundant bank treasury, difficult things became easy things.

Even though last year was a major disaster, the Ministry of Revenue did not cause any injury to the Ministry of Revenue.

Cao Yong spent two hours to process the official documents, and the rest of the time was to start writing and draft an article. The theme of this article was the harm of "closing the country".

Although he was determined to retreat, he always had to do his best for his descendants and descendants. Cao Yong wanted to use "Twelve Strategies" and "Thirteen Strategies" to leave some seeds.

It is subtle and only to have more vision for the world and not be bullied by foreign enemies.

He did this with hiding it from the world. Even if he was as close as Jiang Jian, he didn't know about it.

After writing a picture, Cao Yong collected it himself.

In the past two months, I have completed four articles, "The Hazards of Closed-up in the Country", "A Study on the Ambitions of Foreigners", "Why the Barbarians' Theory", and "World Colonial Tide".

Among them, there are many controversial points.

You should know that there were "literary inquisitions" throughout the dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty was even better. Even if Cao Yong had the will to benefit the people, he would not let his descendants take this risk.

Even if the pen and ink accidentally fell in front of others, Cao Yong was not afraid because he used pinyin.

Sometimes, he couldn't help but feel funny. It turned out that "Shu" was made like this...

When Cao Yong returned home from the yamen, he felt that his wife was in a good mood.

Tomorrow, Tianhui will be out of the house for a full moon and will be back to live in the opposite moon.

"The master's yamen has arranged it..." Chu Yu asked while changing out his official uniform for the servant Cao Yong.

Cao Yong nodded and said, "I've made the arrangements and I'll go there in the afternoon. Can I prepare the gift to my in-laws?"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "I'm ready..."

Cao Yong remembered Yongqing and said, "Yongqing's daughter-in-law is in urgent need of marrying her daughter-in-law. She just passed the door and took care of her sister-in-law's wedding. I'm afraid she's tired. I'll go home for a day off tomorrow, and then go to Haidian Garden..."

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate: "Master, Xiaoqi will take the hospital examination in a few days..."

Cao Yong said: "Shuntian Xuezheng is located in Tongzhou. At that time, the fourth brother will take Changsheng and his uncle and nephew to Tongzhou. It doesn't matter whether we stay in the city or not..."

After hearing this, Chu Yu calmed down...

The next day, Cao Yong had breakfast and went to the Grand Secretary's Mansion.

"Dad picks up my mother and takes him away" is also the importance that my mother's family values ​​for her daughter.

At the beginning of the year, Xu Yuanmeng handed over a memorial to pray for the old man in the name of "he is already high in age and lack of energy". Yongzheng stayed at the Central Committee and did not send it, but he saved his junior dynasty.

In addition, several Hanlin officials were sent to serve as Xu Yuanmeng's subordinate officials.

Now, he, the president of "History of Ming Dynasty", does not have to go to the government office every day, but he lives a comfortable life.

When I heard that Cao Yong was coming, the old man took Shuhede out to greet him in person.

If it were the past, it was because of the same dynasty, and Cao Yong's identity was more noble than the old man. Now that he has become a relative in-laws, Cao Yong is a generation shorter, so he is a little "flattered". He quickly stepped forward and said, "Why did the old man come out?"

Xu Yuanmeng smiled and said, "There are many distinguished guests, but I can still walk steadily in these two steps..."

Yesterday, all civil and military officials followed the emperor to send generals to the Western Expedition, and both of them were in the team.

It’s just that the queues of the station are different, and the occasion is solemn, the two of them nodded and said hello, and they didn’t have to say anything.

With greetings, Cao Yong was welcomed into the living room.

Looking at Shu Hede standing beside him, he was tall and handsome, and he spoke and acted steadily. He was very talented and beautiful, and Cao Yong was less picky.

Shuhede gritted his teeth and personally served tea to his father-in-law Taishan.

He was also surprised, why did his father-in-law look at him more and more picky?

Before the two families got engaged, my father-in-law looked at him, although he was picky, he liked and affirmed most of them.

As the wedding date approaches, the gaze becomes more and more severe.

He couldn't stand it and asked his brother-in-law, which made Tianyou laugh.

However, he also learned that it was not his only experience to dislike his son-in-law.

My elder brother-in-law is connected with him and his treatment in front of Prince Jian is similar.

However, Prince Jian has a straightforward temper and has always said whatever he wants. It took only how long his brother-in-law got married that he was forced to make several "deals under the city".

Although my father-in-law didn't say a word, he seemed to have said everything...

The Grand Secretary's Office held a luncheon. In addition to Xu Yuanmeng's grandparents and grandchildren, Shuhede's two uncles also rushed back from the yamen to accompany the guests.

After lunch, the grandmother prepared a large bag and brought two wives to send her granddaughter-in-law out of the second door...

Cao Yong sent Tianhui back to the mansion and went to the yamen.

The female family members in Cao's mansion gathered together, and naturally became lively.

When Xiang was almost kissing, Li sent Chuyu and his daughter down, just to leave time to let them talk to each other.

When I really want to take care of housework, I don’t even need to go back to take care of it.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law came in and the eldest granddaughter left the house. Tianbao was still young, and Hang Seng had already decided that the only thing Li had to worry about was Changsheng.

Now I am just waiting for the show off this autumn to make plans.

Speaking of which, it is not that the Cao family is determined to cling to the royal family, but it is not easy to say that a wife who is suitable for her, besides the royal family, it is not easy to say that she is a wife who is in tune with her.

Those with similar family backgrounds and outstanding appearance are mostly left in the palace.

Those who have been labeled have more or less shortcomings.

If you want to talk about a young daughter-in-law who is in tune with her, you may have to give up your face and walk into the palace.

It is obvious that I should be safe in my old age, but why do I always feel that something is wrong with my son and daughter-in-law in the past two months?

Li was twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

It seems that something is wrong when I entered the door from my granddaughter-in-law.

The wife was inexplicably in a bad mood and handed over the housework early. In addition to asking a few questions about Tianhui's marriage, she ignored everything else... Although her son came to accompany her to have dinner every now and then, she always rushed to eat her own vegetarian life.

She asked someone to ask about the kitchen, and now half of the dishes are vegetarian at every meal in Jiuruyuan.

Thinking of the Buddhist beads that he often played with on his son's wrist, Li's heart couldn't help but tremble.

She couldn't sit still and got up and left the house.

The maids hurriedly followed, but Li didn't say anything and went straight forward.

The eldest maid Xiu Feng got the news and caught up with him. Seeing Li's expression, she didn't dare to ask more questions. She just took an umbrella to cover the afternoon sun.

Everyone was surprised. It was obviously a good day for my aunt to come back, and just now, she was still talking and laughing in the room of Fuyuan Hall. Why is the old lady seemingly annoyed now?

When he walked to Jiuruyuan, Li stopped.

She was shocked and angry and couldn't help herself, so she hurried over.

When she arrived at the gate of Jiuruyuan, she knew she was reckless.
