Chapter 209 Trivia

l matters

Cao Yong originally planned to stay in Yizhou for one day, so he set off for Jinan. Because Chu Yu was happy, he delayed for another two days until the letters to Beijing and Jiangning were sent, and the mansion was arranged properly. Cao Yong took Wei Hei and several guards to follow him and quickly went to Jinan.

Cao Song wanted to follow him before, but this time he knew that his sister-in-law was pregnant and he looked a little manly - because his brother was not around, he stayed to take care of the mansion.

The Shandong Provincial Administration Office is in Jinan Prefecture. The official who is currently serving as the General Administration Officer is Hou Juguang, a Han army invaded red flag. He was promoted from the Sichuan Censorship two years ago. Hou Juguang is already in his sixties. He looks a little rich and has a white hair. He also smiles at Cao Yong. However, a trace of exploration will appear in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Cao Yong didn't take it seriously. At his age, it was indeed a bit eye-catching to be a fourth-rank civil servant. Hou Juguang's reaction was also within his expectations.

According to the procedures, after Cao Yong received the seal, he was taken by Hou Juguang to meet with Governor Jiang Chenxi and Censor Li Fajia.

Jiang Chenxi was better. He was from Changshu, Jiangsu. He was half a fellow villager with Cao Yong, and he also had a good relationship with Cao Yin. Although he knew that Cao Yong's current glory still relies on the prince's and father-in-law, he saw that although he was young, he was cautious and spoke less and respectfully. Jiang Chenxi had a good impression of him and advised him a little affectionately.

On the side of the Censor's Office, Cao Yong was not so polite. The Censor Li Fajia, whose courtesy name was Yingxian, was from Heyang (now Chengjiang, Yunnan). He was a few years older than Hou Juguang, and he was sixty-five or sixty years old, and had a thin figure. Perhaps because of the fact that he was in charge of the imperial examination in the past two years, he always looked as if he was smiling and not smiling.

Seeing Cao Yong so young and holding the position of guarding the Tao, Li Fajia was a little surprised. He thought Cao Yong was just young, but after asking about his age and resume, he knew that he was only nineteen years old this year, and his face looked a little ugly. He said a few words without any offense to the imperial power inside and outside, but he still belittled Cao Yong to a great extent. It was like Cao Yong was an ignorant playboy who was now here to harm the place.

When Cao Yong was so ridiculed, he felt very uncomfortable when he was so ridiculed. Even though he was indeed benefiting from the royal relatives, he had not yet taken office, so he became a disaster. Seeing Li Fajia's gray beard trembling, Cao Yong didn't know whether to admire or disgust this old man who was prejudiced to him.

Regarding the three constitutions of Jinan, such as Futai (governor), Fantai (governor), and Nietai (president) and Censor (public senator), Mr. Zhuang has long collected detailed information.

Jiang Chenxi was a scholarly family, a family of officials, and a serious Jinshi published a letter; Hou Juguang was a bannerman. Because of his father's achievements from Long Zhiguan, Enmeng was promoted to the position of the fourth-rank cavalry commander, and Li Fajia was the most legendary one.

Li Fajia came from a farmer's family. He studied in a private school when he was a child. When he was a young man, he married into the Shi family as a son-in-law. His father-in-law was very loyal and talented, and he still supported him to study hard and achieve fame. God did not disappoint others' wishes. In the 23rd year of Kangxi, Li Fajia finally became famous on the provincial examination list and became a juren.

In the 24th year of Kangxi and the 27th year of Kangxi, they went to Beijing to participate in two consecutive examinations, but both failed.

At this time, Li Fajia was already forty years old, so he recruited an insignificant professor to return to Yunnan through the Ministry of Personnel. Later, he was transferred from a professor to the eighth-rank teaching teacher. After being appointed as the magistrate of Lingshou County in Zhili for his "excellent achievements". Later, he was recommended by Li Guangdi for his "excellent political achievements". Kangxi specially granted him the same Jinshi, so he was restored to the Li family and promoted to the third level to the fifth-rank supervisor.

After that, Li Fajia became a famous iron-faced censor in the world for his "righteous work". Later, because he offended too many royal relatives, he was charged with "involving current affairs" and the ministry discussed dismissal.

Kangxi loved talents and had the intention of preservation, so he released it to Tianjin. In the 48th year of Kangxi, Li Fajia was promoted to Shandong Censorate.

After studying the Four Books and Five Classics for more than 30 years and entering the official career for twenty-four years, Li Fajia went from being in a state of inferiority to becoming the third rank, among which Kangxi's extraordinary highlights were included.

Even if Cao Yong counts from the history of the Guards, he is already a fourth-rank rank in just two and a half years. It would be strange if Li Fajia could like him.

Hou Juguang and Li Fajia were completely different people. Although they were officials in the same place, they were just ordinary friends over the past few years.

At present, seeing that Li Fajia was experiencing Cao Yong on his old age, Hou Juguang was a little gloating. The alternate Taoist who was previously implicated in the "Chen Si case" was considered to be a nephew of Hou Juguang.

Originally, Hou Juguang thought that although the nephew was involved in the "Chen Si case", he was just a passing prefect and should not have much responsibility. But it would be fine if he walked around for three or two months. And the side of Gun Dongdao is not Feiqu, and there should be limited people to think about. As long as he greets the Ministry of Personnel, it should be no problem to stay for a few months.

Unexpectedly, someone had already filled the information he brought back in Beijing. Therefore, Hou Juguang felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at Cao Yong.

Hou Juguang is a bannerman, and he has a clear understanding of the officialdom. He is not like Li Fajia, but he is a local bun. Cao Yong has a fourth-rank official rank, but the status of the princess is the same as that of the first-rank Wu. The first-rank male has a second-rank official rank, and he can be on par even in front of the governor. Not to mention that the censor is not a direct subordinate to the Shangguan. Li Fajia's actions are really stupid.

While adding fuel to the fire, Hou Juguang said a few good words for Cao Yong, which made Li Fajia even more refuted. While observing Cao Yong secretly, he was thinking of "sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight".

If Cao Yong had not had the experience of being an official in the Ministry of Revenue two years earlier, he would be grateful for Hou Juguang's "maintenance". However, you should know that the Ministry of Revenue has never stopped in the internal strife in the past two years. What kind of person has never seen Cao Yong?

Cao Yong knew these good words, but after hearing a few words, he knew it, but it was a little strange.

According to what we know before, Cao Yong knew that he should have no disputes between interest and the chief official, but why was he? It was not the same reason as Li Fajia. Seeing the young man becoming an official, he was angry and deliberately made trouble, right?

It is really not a complaint about Mr. Zhuang's collection of things was not careful. Because Hou Juguang had no contact with the "nephew" before, he came to the other party to plan for Shandong's nephew. After all, Mr. Zhuang could find it in the capital for a limited number of information. How could he think that a candidate who had not taken office had already reached the relationship of the chief officer?

Even though Li Fajia was honest, he was still a person who had been in the officialdom for more than 20 years. After complaining, he thought about the wrong thing. He vaguely understood that he was being used as a gun by Hou Juguang, and cursed him in his heart twice. He looked at Cao Yong with some discomfort, and saw that he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked calm, and held the corner of his mouth and served tea to see him off.

In Jinan, Cao Yong was in addition to visiting the three Shangguans, he also received news from Beijing. On the fourth day of the second month, Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing participated in the Jiangnan and Jiangxi Governor Gali received 500,000 taels of silver and sold juren Cheng Guangkui, Wu Mi and others for personal gains, but refused to examine it. He asked Gali to be dismissed and tried it seriously.

Fraud in the imperial court is one of the most taboo cases. If it is handled inappropriately, it will easily lead to the hearts of the scholars in Jiangnan. Moreover, it involves the Governor of Liangjiang and the second-rank official of the court. The matter is naturally aroused.

Kangxi approved the memorial, and Gali was dismissed, and Zhang Penghu and Governor He Shou were sent to review and report the memorial. The Governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi were appointed as the acting governor of Jiangxi Lang Tingji.

On the fourth day of the second month, Galli, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu, Zhang Boxing, falsely accused the minister of selling juren and earning 500,000 taels of silver, asking for confrontation. Kangxi also approved the memorial, and Zhang Boxing was dismissed and ordered Zhang Pengheng to work with He Shou to find out the memorial. Jiangsu Governor sealed the matter, and Zhejiang Governor Wang Duzhao was appointed as the acting.

The dispute over the governor, which lasted for more than two years, finally came to an end. Cao Yong remembered the Li family who was implicated by Gali, and he didn't know whether he should sympathize with them for their unluckyness or be angry with their greed.

Because he was thinking about Chu Yu, Cao Yong stayed in Jinan for a few days and then hurried back to Yizhou. Although Wang Wen and Ma Dushi wanted to go with him, they all took their families with them, so they had to see them off first and then set off later. They only said that the chief was from the Beijing official, who would have thought that he would come back from the south, and his family had already arrived in Yizhou.

When new officials like Xiao Cao take office, they usually make announcements from the governor's yamen, local officials will take officials of all sizes and big to wait outside the city to pick up the official pavilion, and then to welcome the people and wash the dust.

When it comes to Cao Yong, these regulations are useless.

The announcement date for the yamen was on the first day of March. Cao Yong reported it to him, and it was arranged according to the itinerary of the king and the Madushi. He followed him with the guard and rushed forward, and returned to Yizhou on February 25.

Whether it was the Cao Mansion in Jiangning or the Prince's Mansion in Chunping, Jingcheng, they sent people to Yizhou. In Jiangning, the food, clothing and expenses were not mentioned. In Cao Yin's letter, he also mentioned that in a few months, Li would come north to take care of Chu Yu. There were also a lot of supplements sent to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing. Even the imperial physician had found a proper job, but due to the complicated procedures, it would take a few days to deliver them.

On the side of the Prince Ping's Mansion, Cao Jia, a concubine, wrote a long letter to her sister-in-law, explaining her experiences related to her two pregnancy and childbirth. Although no one came to Jueluo Mansion, Cao Yi received the letter and asked the Prince Ping's Mansion to send a gift.

I haven't seen each other for the past 20 days. Chu Yu, a young pregnant woman, has not seen her weight and has slightly reduced her weight. Because of the early stages of her pregnancy, she is quite happy and has no appetite for anything. Although she barely ate some food for the sake of the child in her belly, she often vomits clean again in less than a quarter of an hour.

The entire Daotai Mansion studied various recipes. Even Cao Yong went to the kitchen to guide him twice. Although Chu Yu was very grateful and it was very sweet after eating, he still vomited after eating. In the end, Jing'er took action and made dumplings with fresh shepherd's purse, which was what Chu Yu like. Later, Jing'er made some Beijing-style home-cooked buns, and Chu Yu's morning sickness symptoms gradually improved.

Before, Cao Yong and Chu Yu wanted to ask the people from the Chun Palace to bring Jing'er back to Beijing. Because Chu Yu was so happy, Jing'er took the initiative to stay.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu were not embarrassed to let her fatherless girl work hard, and repeatedly refused. Jing'er cried anxiously, and finally revealed the truth. The aunt in Beijing was the second wife who had no choice but to go to join him. Now she is grateful to the Cao family for being kind and willing to stay and repay her. After Chu Yu gave birth safely, she will leave.

Cao Yong heard Jing'er's repeated speeches. Although he believed that she had no intention of harming others through the past few months of getting along, he was still a little wary of this unknown origin. In addition to asking Xiyun and others to follow her while working, he also specifically asked about her aunt's surname and official position. According to her, her aunt was Yiergen Jueluo, who married into the Fucha family of the Huangqi. Her uncle's name was Fuxiading, and now she is the deputy commander of the Huangqi guard.

Fu Cha Fu Ding, who was wearing yellow flags, was shocked. Even Chu Yu felt that it sounded familiar. How could it not be familiar? Although Cao Yin and his wife rarely walked around with the Fu Cha family, after Cao Yong entered Beijing, he still had contact with the Fu Cha family as a junior. After all, it was Cao Yong's uncle's house.

If what Jing'er said is true, then she will be Mrs. Fu Dingji's niece!
