Chapter 404 Spring Bamboo Shoots

After talking about Zhuangzi, the Sixteenth Prince asked someone to carry the little prince Hongpu out to Cao Yong to see. Cao Yong was thinking about the acne epidemic and hurriedly persuaded the Sixteenth Prince to stop him.

Hongpu is the second son of the Sixteenth Prince, and was born by the concubine Li family. The eldest son of the Sixteenth Prince was born by the concubine Guo Luoluo, and died on the day of his birth. Therefore, Hongpu is actually the eldest son and his favorite concubine, and naturally he is regarded as a treasure by the Sixteenth Prince.

Although the Sixteenth Prince wanted to show off his precious son, he also knew that Cao Yong was talking about the truth. Moreover, in front of the Seventeenth Prince, he didn't mention the children much, so he changed the topic and asked about the garden in Cao Yong's Haidian Town.

After a little more than half a month, it will be summer. The city will get hotter and hotter. When you live outside the city, it will be spacious and cooler. When you say this, the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince both envious.

The two of them are young. Although they have married and have children, they still live in the prince's house and have not yet opened a house.

However, although I envy the freedom outside the palace, the two brothers were both born by Han concubines and had no status among the princes. Even if they were granted, they were just a baby boy. The annual salary was only more than 1,000 taels. It was better to live in the palace like this now, and they were all provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When Cao Yong heard these two people mentioning the future, he was a little excited, and he smiled and said that it would be better to have a heated river. The summer resort built last year is like a fairyland on earth.

The Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince both nodded in agreement, with joy on their faces. Although they were young and could not be as good as their brothers, they also had small benefits, at least they had their entourage every year.

This may be because of the lack of desire. These two princes have no ambitions, but their last days are the most relaxed and leisurely.

It was already noon when he came out of the prince's house. Because Cao Yong had to go to the yamen, he hurried out of the palace and rushed to the Xidan Archway.

When he arrived at the Taipu Temple Yamen, Tang Zhiyu and Yiduli were ready to leave. Seeing that Cao Yong had just arrived, Tang Zhiyu was a little worried and whispered: "Sir, Lord Wang has come out and seen several times!"

After hearing this, Yiduli curled his lips and said to Cao Yong: "Sir, you have always had a good temper, but you have to save yourself from it. Some people cannot give you a face, otherwise he will be more arrogant!"

After hearing the two of them, Cao Yong smiled and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart that he didn't know what happened to Wang Jing once was bored.

As expected, shortly after Cao Yong sat in, Wang Jingzeng held the official document and said, "I was busy with official duties and Lord Cao was not here, so I sent these to my official office!"

Cao Yong looked at the official document about half a foot high and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Wang is worried, but only Man Qing's seal is effective at this Taipu Temple. Do you know?"

Everyone has a bottom line. Cao Yong's bottom line is his own territory. He is most tired of others' fingers and does not like others to make trouble without any trouble.

Humans are indeed animals and their territory cannot be violated.

No matter how Wang Jing wins over his subordinates or fights with Yidu, he doesn't do anything about Cao Yong. However, if he wants to cross the line, Cao Yong will not spoil him with a good temper.

Wang Jingzeng originally thought that Cao Yong was young and tender, but he always looked at him and was unresponsive to his work, so he thought that even if he could not climb onto Cao Yong's head, he could have a balanced power.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yong choked him to death with just one light sentence.

Wang Jingzeng's face turned red and turned red, but he was speechless.

Who made this the Qing Dynasty? There were few Manchus and many Han people, and the emperor was very cautious about Han ministers. Among the six tribes and nine ministers, all of them were Manchus and Han ministers, and all of them were Manchus and Han ministers in front and Han ministers in the back.

Although Wang Jingseng could not say a few words to Cao Yong in his heart, he could not say anything to refute on his face, so he had to retreat embarrassedly.

In fact, this was just Cao Yong put a hat on Wang Jingseng and suppressed him. He was a Han Chinese, and in his eyes, Manchu and Han were just average. He knew that this was an emperor's taboo. Although he never wanted to go beyond a half-step thunder pool in his eyes, he didn't take it seriously from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Yong read the half-fold of official documents again, but he was not a child, and deliberately disliked Wang Jingzeng. The business was all about those business. Except for two things related to the horse farm, Wang Jingzeng had some discussions on paper, other opinions were considered appropriate.

Cao Yong was also worried, so he only wrote the word "ke" at the back and then stamped the official document.

In fact, who would not do these tasks? If Wang Jingzeng Shao had thought about having personal disputes at Taipu Temple, and with Cao Yong's lazy nature, he would be happy to hand over this trivial matter of approving official documents to him, and he would have to check it out in the end.

It is not possible to not check it. At this time, it is also important to account for the main accountant. If there is something wrong with the Taipu Temple yamen, he will be the one who will be punished.

After this delay, it was already Shen Shi when Cao Yong returned to the mansion.

Xicai and Xiyan have been waiting in the study for a long time. When Cao Yong arrived home, he first asked about the situation in the second door. He knew that it was okay, so he was more at ease.

Because Mr. Zhuang knew that Cao Yong lived in the front yard these days, he came to have dinner with him every afternoon. After dinner, when talking about the recent political situation, the two still had the same opinion. The Eighth Prince was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

In the past few days, Kangxi personally issued several decrees to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, most of whom were exempted from the post of civil and military officials on the charge of "unbearable old age", most of whom defected to the Eighth Prince's disciples.

When the Eighth Prince was there, he was also a good target, and he could see the distribution of power clearly.

If the Eighth Prince falls, the Prince's power will be redistributed, and there will be another secret battle at that time.

Take the recent example. The Eighth Prince stayed behind closed doors, while the Third Prince was very proud. Because of his contribution to compiling books, he was praised by the Shengkou several times. He also invited Kangxi to pay homage to the garden he built outside Changchun Garden.

Mr. Zhuang is a knowledgeable person, so he naturally saw that these lively and a bit lively. The third prince is really famous and has a good reputation. There is no talent behind this, and even if you want the mother and wife, you can't borrow power.

Kangxi was surrounded by an emperor's eldest grandson. Although Hongxi was the concubine's son of the second prince, the second prince was the legitimate son of Kangxi's queen of Yuan Dynasty. Hongxi was not a legitimate son, but a legitimate grandson. This only origin blocked his uncles.

Although the former "Princesmen" have already killed and changed their doors, because they are now respected ethics, as long as someone takes the lead, a team that supports the "legitimate son and grandson" can be stretched out at any time.

Kangxi was suspicious when he was old and did not allow Hongxi to form a clique. Who could have thought of what it was?

Hongxi and Cao Yong are the same age as Cao Yong, and are already twenty-one. They are older than his younger uncles and are not considered childish. Even if Kangxi wants to teach his grandson himself for a few years and directly establish a grandson, it will not be surprising.

Even someone like Mr. Zhuang did not notice the potential of the Fourth Prince to fight for the throne. He gave Hong Xi and pushed the Fourth Prince back.

When Cao Yong heard this, he felt strange. Could it be that the Fourth Prince was really hiding so deeply that no one could see his ambitions. Only he, the "premonitor", knew the answer, saw that the mountain was a mountain.

Cao Song and Cao Shuo had already eaten their meals. Knowing that Cao Yong was back, he also sat down to his brother for a while.

Cao Song looked fine, but he had always been used to being careless and could eat and sleep anywhere. However, Cao Shuo was obviously a little thin and looked unhappy.

When Cao Yong saw this, he was a little worried and asked, "Is the third brother not used to changing the house? Do you want to invite an imperial physician to take a look and prescribe two prescriptions for replenishment?"

Cao Songyuan didn't pay attention yet. When he heard his brother say this, he looked at his younger brother's face. Seeing that he had cleared, his face was a little blue and white, and he said with a little blame: "Even if you know that you have worked hard, you have been reading books for too long. You don't leave the house all day, and your face looks so ugly."

Cao Shuo blushed and whispered: "It's just that I haven't had a good sleep these two days. There's no need to bother the imperial doctor. It's going to be fine in a few days!"

Because Cao Shuo was not old, Suli had a positive idea and was much more sensible than Cao Song. Therefore, after hearing what he said, Cao Yong did not force himself, but thought that he would not leave the mansion. If he was uncomfortable sleeping in the front yard, he would move back to the second gate.

After hearing this, Cao Shuo waved his hand and said, "Don't you move back. Didn't your elder brother say that you would keep the second door from avoiding acne? When the second door opens, your younger brother will go back!"

Cao Song looked at his younger brother's slightly thin body, frowned, patted his shoulder and said, "You are sixteen, why are you still like a child, not as strong as a man? This won't work. Tomorrow, I will start practicing my body with my brother."

Cao Shuo said awkwardly: "Second brother, my brother wants to study and do his homework!"

Cao Song said: "Even if you have to do your homework, your body will be good! After August, I will decide whether to send you to Zhengbai Banner or to the grandfather's clan school to the affiliation of the grandfather's family. This capital is not as bad as our Jiangning. Those bastards are all black-handed and are accustomed to bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. You are a nerd, but you will not suffer a loss if you go there!"

When Cao Shuo heard that he had to go to school, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He looked at Cao Song, then looked at Cao Yong, and said, "Brother, second brother, younger brother is not young anymore, do you still have to go to school? Otherwise, invite a master to the mansion?"

After hearing what he said, Cao Yong remembered the several Hanlin Academy Shujis whom he met when he sent Cheng Mengxing a few days ago. Now they are also studying and their lives are a little tight. After being taught editors, they will have more time to spare.

If it really doesn't work, I asked them to help introduce some colleagues who have been editors. If they choose two good eight-legged essays and come to the house to teach their own brothers, it will definitely be of great benefit to their future exams.

When Cao Yong thought of this, he nodded to Cao Shuo and said, "It's nothing to ask the Master to come to the mansion, but your second brother is right. Studying is important and health is also important. As a man, it's hard to be a weak scholar without any power."

When Cao Shuo heard that he didn't have to go to school, he showed a little joy on his face. He lowered his hands and bowed to listen to Cao Yong's teachings.

Cao Yong looked at Cao Shuo and remembered himself, he came to Beijing when he was so old. In the blink of an eye, it had been five or six years of hard work.

Mr. Zhuang sat next to him, listening to their brothers with a smile, and occasionally his eyes looked at Cao Shuo seem a little strange.

When Cao Shuo and Cao Song and his brothers returned, Mr. Zhuang said to Cao Yong with a smile on his face: "The third young master is weak, probably because he is Shaomian!"

"Oh!" Cao Yong was a little puzzled, but he knew that Mr. Zhuang would not say casually, so he said, "What's the reason?"

Mr. Zhuang raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Third Master, this is a symptom of kidney water deficiency. It seems that he is an adult!"

Although Mr. Zhuang said it implicitly, Cao Yong is not a young boy, so there is nothing else he doesn't know.

Thinking of Zhao Jia, and Cao Yong couldn't have the joy of "I have a son in my family to grow up."

Whether it is Cao Song, Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang, it seems that we have to have a good talk with this guy. As a man, we must be like a man. Women who can protect them should not be protected. Don’t ruin the girl’s life for nothing.

Wutong Garden, upper room.

Since Hang Seng had moved to Kwaiyuan, Lianqiu, who took Niu Niu to the second door to avoid pimples, lived in the east room. Chu Yu's belly became bigger and Cao Yong was not around, so Xiyun and Xixia took turns to stay in the room for the night.

Tonight, it's Xiyun's turn to be on the night.

She originally wanted to build a floor on the ground, but because Chu Yu was afraid that the ground would be cold, she asked her to come to the kang.

When the sound of the 3rd Choutian bang came from afar, when he heard Chu Yu tossing and turning on the kang, Xiyun couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Is there something uncomfortable about the princess? Is the little master moving again?"

Chu Yu said "Yes" and said, "I feel a little sore in my waist, so heavy that it makes me feel uncomfortable!"

When Xiyun heard this, she was a little panicked, sat up and asked, "What should I do? Why don't I throw a hot towel and give it to Princess?"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Lying down quickly, it's okay. Huai Tianyou was the same last time. Just survive these few months!"

Xiyun then lay down and said with a little distress: "I really didn't expect the princess to suffer such a great crime!"

Chu Yu whispered: "It's the third update, I don't know if the prince is asleep!"

Xiyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Prince, although the prince is good, she lives with the princess twice. If..." She couldn't continue to say this.

The two who went to the front yard to serve the study room, both grew up together. When it comes to character, she can trust her, not the kind of person who climbed onto her master's bed.
