Chapter 193: Things are done

Ganqing Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.

Kangxi was wearing a regular dress and sat on the kang, looking at Cao Yong who was kneeling on the ground, with an unpredictable expression on his face. After a while, he asked, "Your father doesn't know about the matter of being released, right?"

Because Kangxi did not shout, Cao Yong could only kneel down and replied: "Reply to the words of Emperor Long Sui, I am my own decision. My father... If my father knows, I should not rely on it!"

It was silent again, and Cao Yong felt that his legs were about to numb, and then he heard Kangxi scream.

Although Cao Yong has also met Kangxi several times in the past two years, the atmosphere this time is very different from before.

"I want to train you to the Ministry of Revenue. I want to cultivate you. Thinking that you are still young, I will let you learn for a few years first. Over the past year, I have seen what you have done. Although I have not achieved great success, the key is to be down-to-earth and cautious, which is not to embarrass me and your father!" Kangxi's voice was a little lonely.

Cao Yong was sad when he heard this. Kangxi's current appearance was haggard, just like Cao Yin's situation in the past two years. He was both tired, not only tired, but also tired. Thinking of Cao Yin, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Kangxi.

After a pause, Kangxi said again: "The Fourth Prince has reported to me carefully about the epidemic this summer, but you have made great contributions! If you don't reward this, do you blame me for feeling wronged?"

Although Kangxi asked gently, Cao Yong's heart trembled when he heard this. This old man was in a time of suspicion and anxiety about the prince, and he could not commit the taboo of "resentment". At this time, the emphasis is on "thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king". Even if you really make any great contributions, if you dare to "resentment", you will not get it well, and it will be a huge disaster.

Cao Yong hurriedly bowed his head and said that those were all his own affairs and did not dare to take credit.

"Oh, don't dare to take credit?" Kangxi pondered, looking at Cao Yong with a little more exploration: "Then according to what you say, is the credit of the Fourth Prince?"

Cao Yong was about to respond to "yes", but his heart moved and replied: "Prince Yong is indeed working hard, but in the eyes of the minister, the Shuntian Prefecture, the Infantry Office, the Interior Office and other places also performed their duties and worked hard all day long. The yamen soldiers in the various yamen rely on their loyalty and patriotism, regardless of their own safety, and were eager to prevent the epidemic."

Kangxi nodded and asked Cao Yong: "There are no one else?"

A few heads hanging in front of Desheng Gate suddenly flashed in Cao Yong's mind, and he said without thinking: "There is another person..." As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong. This was not something he could insert! But thinking of the current downfall and desolation of the Thirteenth Prince, Cao Yong couldn't help but continue saying: "The use of thunder means to control the crisis and prevent the epidemic from being contained in the capital at this time is really a contribution to the court and the country!"

Cao Yong finished speaking in one breath and felt much more relieved. Although he thought that he would inevitably be scolded or even Kangxi's anger next, he did not regret it. In his heart, he admired the loyal person of the Thirteenth Prince who did not use power and tricks, and it was a pleasure that he could express his feelings in a long time.

"Haha!" Kangxi did not lower his face and scold him as he imagined, but laughed out loud: "In the past two years, you have never been willing to take one more step. I still think you are not angry. Now that you have said so bluntly, I really don't know if you should praise your progress or scold you for being troubled!"

Cao Yong's forehead was sweating slightly. He didn't know if the old man was saying literally or something else, so he couldn't speak for a while.

Kangxi saw his uneasiness and embarrassment, thinking that he was worried about the Thirteenth Prince and wanted to plead for the Thirteenth Prince, so he waved his hand and said, "The Thirteenth Prince is not necessary to say more about the Thirteenth Prince. I have to think about it as the Emperor's father!" At this point, his tone became more and more solemn: "You are not an outsider. I feel relieved when you see you get close to the princes, but you must keep your mind in mind and don't think about joining the party to have other thoughts!"

The word "Party Support" is a shiny expression. Cao Yong already knew that this old man was now stimulated by the prince's party formation. He was suspicious and he could not let him get to know the right person. He hurriedly said that he was taught by his father since he was a child, and he only had the four words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" in his heart. He would never learn from those unfaithful and unrighteous people and let down the grace of the holy people.

After this expression of "loyalty", Cao Yong himself was about to vomit, but the effect was very good. He secretly looked at Kangxi. Although the haze on his face could not be said to have dissipated, he still showed a smile, as if he was very relieved.

For some reason, Cao Yong suddenly had a very ridiculous idea, that is, the saying "old child, little child". Kangxi was old, and his words and actions were very different from the previous two years. Is it a bit like "old child"?

But the old man from ordinary families is arguing with the temper of this "old child", so naturally he has sons and grandchildren respectfully and a wife reminds him. As the noble of the nineteenth century, he is his subjects, whether he is a concubine in the harem or a prince or grandson. Even among them, there are many people who treat him sincerely, and there are many who are respectful and close to him.

"This is the first time you beg me for your own sake. I will follow you, and I will give you the reward of the epidemic!" Kangxi said.

Cao Yong felt as if he heard the sound of nature, and quickly thanked him.

Kangxi got off the kang, walked to the desk, picked up the pen, wrote two words, and then said to Cao Yong: "It is said that the child is old, and parents and relatives should no longer hold him under his wings. He should be allowed to go out to experience and experience before he can become a talent. You have been at home since you were young, and I have also taken care of me in the capital in the past two years, but in the future, I have to rely on you more! I have already thought about the words you have when you are in the time. This time you will be the chief of your place. With the words, you will be more convenient for social engagements!" After that, he ordered Wei Zhu to hand the scroll that he had written by the emperor's pen to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong first thanked him, and then took it with both hands. Although he was curious about what Kangxi had called him, he could only endure it because of the rules in front of the imperial court that he did not call him open.

Kangxi put down his writing and said, "I have issued the order from the Ministry of Personnel, so you can be prepared to take office with peace of mind." Speaking of this, it seemed that a little curiosity suddenly arose and asked, "I asked you, have you ever thought about what you want to do first after taking office?"

Cao Yong was stunned, until Kangxi's face became darker and darker. Fang said in a low voice: "I think I will take half a month off first and take the princess back to Jiangning to visit her parents!"

The answer was beyond Kangxi's expectations. He thought that Cao Yong wanted to be a foreign position, so he chose a counterpart to the Ministry of Revenue. Naturally, he wanted to make achievements and achieve great achievements. Unexpectedly, tracing the root cause is just such a reason.

He shook his head, and felt a little jealous in his heart. He said to Cao Yong with distraction: "Because the cold is cold, I still want to keep you for two months and let you take the post in spring. Since you are homesick, then explain the errands at hand, go back to Jiangning for the New Year first, and then take the post after the New Year!"

In addition to finding the lack of what he wanted, he had more family leave, which was really a surprise. Until he left the palace gate, Cao Yong's face was still full of smiles.

Cao Yong thought in his mind that it was November 15th, and it was easy to talk about the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue. Fu Xiangong took over it directly, and it would be completed in one or two days. The matter in the capital was not immediately taken over, so he could entrust Mr. Zhuang and Amethyst to take care of it slowly. He took Chuyu first and went back to Jiangning, and then met in Yizhou after the New Year. The rest were relatives and friends in the capital.

Because of his anxious heart, Cao Yong was not in the mood to go to the Ministry of Revenue and sent someone to take leave. He quickly returned home and wanted to tell everyone the good news.

Cao Mansion, study room.

"It's done?" Mr. Zhuang's hand holding the cup shook slightly, almost unable to hold it. He hurriedly put it on the small table and asked again: "It's really done? What do you say about Long Live?"

Cao Yong smiled and said, "It was said that it was a reward for the full contribution of the epidemic at that time! I would also like to take up my post after the New Year and return to Jiangning to visit relatives before the New Year!"

Mr. Zhuang's face was full of joy, touched his beard, and said with a smile: "This is very appropriate. Yong'er is going to take up a foreign post, and it is not possible that there is no one below. Lord Jiangning may be able to recommend two appropriate aides!"

Cao Yong shook his head and said, "With a gentleman here, these are all secondary. The key is that it is only more than forty days by the end of the year. Now the waterway is blocked and the land is bumpy, which may take more time. In the past few days, I will finish the matter in the capital and go back to Jiangning with Chu Yu!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded: "It's better to go on the road as soon as possible, but you will have to visit all over the capital. You will eventually come back, and these relationships cannot be sluggish. Besides, since you are going to take up a foreign mission, there are many places that need them to take care of in the capital!"

Cao Yong knew that Mr. Zhuang was right, and he was about to go to the houses who were saying goodbye to the farewell in his heart. He suddenly felt a headache. It would take ten days and half a month to continue like this. It seemed that he could only go to a few mansions a day without leaving a banquet, and just have a meeting.

Suddenly, he remembered the words given by Kangxi. Because he was happy just now, he stuffed them around his waist and had not read them yet, so he quickly pulled them out and opened them.

"'Furu', these two words come from the "Book of Changes" 'Wait and not recommend it, there is Fururu'. Hehe, it seems that Wansui Ye is indeed very kind to Yonger. There are many children from aristocratic families in this dynasty, father and son, or three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and how many people can be taken care of by Yonger?" Mr. Zhuang looked at the handwritten calligraphy of the imperial pen and said with a smile.

Cao Yong was a little amused and blew up. He had been studying in this world for ten years, and nine of them were read. The Book of Changes was also read through. "Waiting but not recommending, there is no good thing" is not a good word. It literally means that although he shows piety for major events such as sacrifice, he only washes his hands without paying tribute. He seems to admire those who keep his promises, but he does not learn to do it. However, if it is the other way around, he also means being cautious in dealing with things, not blindly following the trend, and following the crowd.

Nowadays, people call social names. Now that there are more characters, he will be "Brother Furuo" or "Brother Furuo", or "Brother Furuo" or something. When he thinks about this, Cao Yong still feels a little strange and is very uncomfortable.

In the next few days, Cao Yong worked tirelessly around. In addition to handing over the errands to the Ministry of Revenue, he was busy visiting relatives and friends to say goodbye. Pingjun Prince's Mansion, Chunjun Prince's Mansion, Jueluo Family, Zhaojia Family, Wanyan Family, Ning Chun Family, Ma Shilang Family, and Sun Family, there were also Prince Yong's Mansion, Thirteen Palaces, Fuguo Duke E Fei Mansion, and uncle Fucha Family. At that time, the chief officers and colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue also wanted to visit several families.

The various governments responded differently to the matter of Cao Yong's release. For example, the Seventh Prince and Prince Ping had heard Cao Yong mention it before, but they did not expect it to be so fast. The Seventh Prince originally couldn't bear to let his daughter marry far away, so he chose Cao Yong in Beijing. He had expected them to stay in Beijing for a longer time. Who knew that Cao Yong would release so soon, and he felt a little miscalculated, but in general, he was very satisfied with this son-in-law, and the release was also a kindness from the top, so he did not have any more awkwardness, so he just told him to pay attention.

The Hongshu brothers had a very good relationship with Chu Yu in their early years, and later became very close to Cao Yong and Cao Song. When they heard that Cao Yong was released, they were reluctant to leave and ran to Cao's mansion more and more diligently.

On the side of the Prince of Pingjun Mansion, Nersu agreed to Cao Yong's departure from the capital, so that he would not be able to be restrained in the capital. Besides, his political sense is also extremely sensitive and he does not have no awareness of the upcoming turmoil at all. It is not a blessing to leave the capital now.

However, Prince Fujin Cao Jia, the Prince of Ping, was reluctant to let his brother go out. When she heard that his brother and his sister-in-law were going back to Jiangning to visit relatives first, she was ready to give her parents a New Year gift, so she thought to urge them to leave Beijing as soon as possible, so she would stay with her parents for a longer time. The eldest prince Fu Peng is already four years old and started playing with small bows and arrows; the fourth prince Fu Xiu is over two years old and runs around the ground. She is a mother and knows her parents' kindness even more. She hopes that her brothers can do more filial piety on her behalf.

Baoya was accused of marrying a prince from the Korqin tribe of the empress dowager's mother's family last month, and she will get married next year. Now she doesn't come out to meet anyone anymore. She is familiar with Cao Yong, so she doesn't have to avoid any more. She sits at her sister-in-law. Although she still smiles like in the past, she may not chatter because of her age, and she is a bit of a expensive girl.
