The atmosphere in the hall was really weird. Several old ministers knew something was wrong and couldn't help but sniff.

In the silence, a slightly depressing cough came, and Cao Yong felt a little surprised. Which one is this? He is so brave. According to the rules, if the imperial decree is investigated, it will be a very disrespectful crime. He would be fined for half a year if he said it lightly.

Cao Yong turned around slightly and looked in the sound. He saw an old man standing behind the Six Ministers and Ministers, lowering his gray-haired head and coughing, which seemed very difficult.

This man wore a sapphire top and a peacock dress. He was Lu Jingyuan, the Hanqing of Taipu Temple.

Speaking of Lu Jingyuan, a native of Jiangsu, a Jinshi in the 21st year of Kangxi, he was the nephew of Xu Yuanwen, a deceased Grand Secretary. Although he was a county magistrate, censor, and chief of the Imperial College in his early years, he was a little pedantic and could not manage his career. He survived for more than 30 years before he became the Minister of Taipu Temple.

Manchus became ministers of the Taipu Temple, and Han officials became ministers of the Taipu Temple, just like being ministers of the Taipu Temple.

Speaking of which, Lu Jingyuan is also related to the Cao family. Lu Jingyuan's grandmother is Gu Yanwu's sister. Cao Yin's biological mother and first wife are also from the Gu family, and they are distant cousins.

Lu Jingyuan has been serving as the Minister of Taipu Temple for several years. Cao Yong had seen him in the capital a few years ago. Because he had heard Gu Na mention it before, Lu Jingyuan took good care of Gu Na, and Cao Yong also respected the old man very much.

However, after Lu Jingyuan knew that Cao Yong was Cao Yin's son, he was very rude and rarely had a good face.

Later, after investigation, Cao Yong found out why Lu Jingyuan was like this. It was the 37th year of Kangxi. The servants of the Li family rushed into Lu Jingyuan's home with some gangsters to smash and make trouble at home, and beat and humiliate them along the street.

When he passed by, Ding You was at home, he was angry and annoyed, so he asked his subordinates to go to the yamen to report to the officials. As a result, the Suzhou magistrate's yamen just refused and did not dare to arrest anyone.

Later, when the matter spread, Li Xu, the Suzhou Weaving Manufacturer, came forward and arrested the troubled slave and handed him to the local official for punishment.

Although others admired the Li family very much when they told Cao Yong, Cao Yong was only in a cold heart. The Lu family is the in-laws of the Xu family in Kunshan and a family of officials. Even the slaves of the Li family dared to bully it so far. What if it were ordinary people?

Because of this, Cao Yong wrote to his father a few years ago that he had always had an admonition to restrain his family slaves. These things are nothing when they are in a glorious place. When they are settled in the autumn, they are all sins.

Seeing Lu Jingyuan trembling and unsteady, Kangxi was a little disappointed. He originally planned to let Lu Jingyuan take charge of Taipu Temple for some time, and wait until the Ministry of Personnel has other candidates before making a decision.

Kangxi was not very satisfied with Ming'an and Yiduli, who were reported by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel today.

Ming'an is a disciple of the An Prince's Mansion. Seeing the recommendation of the Minister of War, he must have been bewitched by the 14th Prince. Although Yiduli is Marhan's son-in-law, he is also Soetu's grandson. His biological mother is the official wife of the late Cabinet Grand Secretary Yisan Ah - Soetu's eldest daughter Wu Yunzhu.

In the 42nd year of Kangxi, Soetu was executed. In the 47th year of Kangxi, Soetu's second sons Gelfin and Al Jishan were executed. All his elder brothers and nephews were dismissed. Such heavy punishment shows that Kangxi was really disgusted with Soetu.

The emperor is also an ordinary person, and his mind may not be as broad as those praised by his ministers.

As for Yiduli, although Kangxi would not take his anger on his father Yisan A, he was unwilling to make him serve in the imperial office all day long.

After glanced at everyone in the hall again, Kangxi saw Cao Yin standing respectfully, remembering the answers of the monarch and ministers in Qingxi Bookstore a few days ago, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cao Yin, Cao Yin, do you really want to seek wealth for your son, or do you also learn from others, start to figure out my thoughts, and do the opposite?

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but be angry. He felt that everyone in the hall had their own ideas, and few of them were thinking of being loyal to him, the emperor, and were all seeking a future and prosperity.

In the past, these people crawled at his feet and said praise; now, these people began to come to the prince and seek great contributions.

For some reason, Kangxi suddenly felt lonely and vicissitudes, and only felt that he was the emperor, seemed to have the world, but seemed to have nothing, and he was not as good as an ordinary old man who taught his children and grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Kangxi's expression became colder, and even the eyes of looking at Cao Yin became more complicated.

When he saw that the Seventh Prince wanted to say something but stopped and seemed to have something to say, Kangxi felt aroused and said slowly: "Seventh Prince, do you have something to say?"

For a moment, everyone looked at the Seventh Prince again.

The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment, stepped out, and bowed, "If you go back to the emperor, I want to recommend one person."

Everyone in the hall was surprised because the Seventh Prince rarely spoke at court meetings on weekdays, and like the Fifth Prince and the Twelfth Prince, they were like those who were not involved in everything. Why is it like this today?

Cao Yong was also surprised, but he couldn't help but secretly wonder, "Isn't my father-in-law asking him to recommend him?"

Cao Yong was still thinking about it, and Kangxi had already spoken on the imperial throne: "Oh, who is the person the Seventh Prince wants to recommend?"

Then the seventh prince replied: "This man is a heroic prince, and the guardian of Dongyan is Cao Yong."

Once the words were made, let alone other clan officials, even Cao Yong looked at the Seventh Prince with a bit of suspicion. Although he said that "the talented people do not avoid relatives", it is not like he was always low-key, so he was abnormal?

It is abnormal and evil. The Seventh Prince recommends his son-in-law. Why is this muddy water? Just to pick up his son-in-law, there are other intentions. For a moment, he can't make a turn, and there are more than one or two confused people.

Only the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince were really happy. They thought the simplest, so what else could there be? It was just that the Seventh Prince couldn't bear to let his daughter and son-in-law go out. I heard that Cao Yong's son was very caring. They had been thinking about that little grandson for a long time, and they were thinking about where to go to Cao's mansion and take a look.

Cao Yin was a little worried. Although he wanted his son to return to Beijing, it was not this time, nor was it lack. The reason why he said that in front of the emperor was that he was just making plans for his son's three years of Renman.

With Cao Yong's qualifications, Ren Man's transfer is the most likely. According to Cao Yin's idea, when his son Ren Man is transferred back to Beijing, there are many officials in the fourth rank of the Central Zheng in Beijing.

Deputy envoy of the Tongzheng Envoy Department, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Shaozheng of Zhanshi, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the sixth department chief of the Inspectorate.

Except for the sixth department of the Inspectorate, the supervisor of the Supervisor, the Minister of the Honglu Temple is the chief official, and the others are all deputys, all chores that are light and easy to deal with. Even if Cao Yong is younger, he is not considered a slight and does not attract people to fight. When he reaches one or two terms, he will be promoted to the chief official, and he will be at home and will be more comfortable in his work.

The Taipu Temple Minister was a third-rank chief official and a close minister of the emperor. It took only a year and a half to be promoted to the fourth-rank Taoist platform by Cao Yong for only one and a half years. If he was promoted to another level at this time, he would be a lucky minister in the eyes of outsiders, which was not a good thing.

Kangxi's side was very happy. Cao Yong was apart from being lazy, and there was no big problem. Whether it was to manage the Ministry of Revenue or guard the pastures, Cao Yong could deal with it.

From what Cao Yong did in the capital and Shandong, he can be called "loyalty to the emperor and love the people" and has no selfish intentions.

Thinking of this, Kangxi was also a little annoyed. No young man in his twenties was full of energy and determined to make a name for himself. The young Cao Yong led him to take him away, and retreated, and ruined his wish to send him to the Ministry of Revenue for nothing.

All the civil and military officials in the court wanted to sharpen their heads and climb up, but the Cao family father and son were too cautious and did not like to get involved in the messy right and wrong. Although Kangxi was quite pleased, he still had some shortcomings. If Cao Yong was a little motivated, he would be very useful in the future.

Following Cao Yong's wishes, let him go out and become cold, and Kangxi also wanted to train him. Thinking that Cao Yong was young and encountered any setbacks when he went to the place, he might feel like he was fighting for victory.

What Kangxi did not expect was that Cao Yong's Taoist platform would be very interesting. First, he sealed the pot and burned pot to stabilize the price of grain, so that people's livelihood would be stable in the country. At the end of the year, he also made contributions to appease the local area. In just one year, he had all had civil and military achievements, and Cao Yong's Taoist platform would be very good.

Although I don’t know what this kid is thinking all day long, the more he does this, the more he wants to deal with Cao Yong. For more than 50 years ascended the throne, so many famous officials are in control. How can Cao Yong hide if he wants?

Looking at Cao Yin in the hall, Cao Yong and his son both had the same expression, frowned, as if they had eaten Coptis chinensis. Kangxi smiled in his eyes and said to Cao Yin: "Cao Aiqing, Cao Yong is your eldest son. What do you think of the recommendation of the Seventh Prince?"

Cao Yin came out and bowed to reply, "I have reported to you that Prince Chun, and the servants are very grateful to Cao Yong for his recommendation. However, Cao Yong was young and ignorant, had limited knowledge, and was not as talented as possible, so he should not be of great use. The Minister of Taipu Temple is a close minister of the Tian family and has a high position and heavy responsibilities. Cao Yong is a young and weak child, and may not be able to take this important position. If there is a mistake, he will be ashamed of the grace of Emperor Long and the prince's tribute. Please think twice."

Kangxi saw Cao Yin's expression was not as fake, and he knew that what he said was the truth. He was quite pleased. He was not blinded by power. He still remembered that the emperor was the first in every place.

After looking at the third prince, the eighth prince and others, Kangxi still made up his mind. If the ministers he ordered around him did not select the ones he chose, would he still have to let these princes and princes install people?

He waved his hand and said, "Cao Aiqing doesn't need to be humble. All Cao Yong's actions in the past few years are in my eyes. Although he has not made any achievements, he is still diligent in his official position, and may be useful." At this point, he glanced at several older princes and asked, "You are his elders, what do you think?"

Because he failed to win over, the third prince was somewhat guarded against the Cao family and his son, but after he left the list, he said with a smile: "Cao Yong has always been steady in his behavior, and is cautious in his manner, and is quite polite. The son-in-law also loves this niece son-in-law very much. The emperor is as wise as a torch. Since the emperor sees Cao Yong available, it will definitely be fine. If the emperor does not mind the troubles of his son-in-law, the son-in-law is willing to jointly recommend Cao Yong as the Minister of the Taipu Temple with his seventh brother."

This appreciation sounds very sincere. If it weren't for knowing that Cao Yin and his son were lonely ministers and did not hold any prince's thick legs, everyone would have thought that the Cao family was the third prince's member.

Kangxi also looked at the third prince in surprise. Seeing that he raised his head from time to time and looked at his expression, he snorted coldly in his heart. The third brother did this just to conform to his wishes as the emperor and please him. He did not really appreciate Cao Yong or really share his worries.

Cao Yong was already laughing and crying when he listened. However, he was also a little lucky that the third prince was talking to him. Otherwise, if the eighth prince changed to this "performance" and the fourth prince took it seriously and took a grudge in his heart, he would be really wronged.

Just as he heard that Kangxi asked the fourth prince again on the dragon throne.

The fourth prince left the list, paused, and replied, "If you go back to the emperor, Cao Yong is very careful in doing things, but he is very young and has limited experience. It may not be appropriate to be so lucky to make progress. At present, the birthday festival will be in less than two days. If something goes wrong, it is not something Cao Yong can afford. It would be better to find a more mature minister to take on this position temporarily and make sure it is a perfect plan."

As the Fourth Prince said, Cao Yong nodded secretly. Is this the previous "offensive" effective? Although the Fourth Prince's words seemed to offend the Cao family and son and the Seventh Prince, Cao Yong only thought that he was kind-hearted.

Whether it is a really kind heart or a fake kind heart, as long as you avoid getting involved, Cao Yong is very grateful.

When Kangxi heard this, he had a different meaning. He felt that he was speaking in a straightforward manner and was quite pertinent, so he waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
