Chapter 709: Noisy (Part 2)

In a blink of an eye, it was the "first seventh" of the Eighth Prince.

There were more and more people coming to worship the house, and many female relatives came over. The Eighth Concubine was the most powerful, so she helped her to entertain her relatives from all over the world, and she didn't want her husband to have funerals too deserted.

Although the eighth prince has been memorizing in the past two years, no one dares to be too close to him and take on the charge of "forming a clan". However, the prince is the prince, and the royal family has to be mourned; most of the court officials have to go through the formalities.

The "first seven" is the day when everyone makes a debut.

No matter whether the relationship is good or bad, you always have to come out and meet. Among them, there is an unexpected person, that is, the Thirteenth Prince who has been staying in the door for several years.

The Thirteenth Prince wore a filial piety hat. In the astonishment of everyone, he lit incense in front of the Eighth Prince, toasted wine, and went to the Eighth Prince to say, "Eighth Sister-in-law, please feel sorry for me."

The Eighth Concubine was surprised and forgot to return the conversation. When she woke up, the Thirteenth Prince had turned around and went out.

The Ninth Prince was still full of gloom. Looking at the back of the Thirteenth Prince, there was no sound. The Tenth Prince couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Why is he here?"

The fourteenth prince was beside him, his eyes turned and chased him out.

"Brother Thirteenth, since he is here, I will leave later. How long has it been since we brothers seen each other?" said the Fourteenth Prince with a little affectionate look.

The Thirteenth Prince shook his head and said, "I'm busy here today, so let's have another day."

Seeing that his expression was faint, the 14th Prince felt a little uncomfortable, and forced a little smile and said, "Well, then the younger brother went over to pay tribute to the 13th Brother another day."

"As long as you don't dislike my deserted place." The Thirteenth Prince said casually.

He was two of the fourteenth prince, and he was only two years apart. In addition, the Thirteenth prince was also raised by Concubine De when he was a child, so he turned out to be together with the Fourteenth prince. However, when he grew up, the Fourteenth prince party was affiliated with the Eighth prince, and the Thirteenth prince was close to the Fourth prince.

Seeing the carriage that the Thirteenth Prince was riding gradually farther away, the Fourteenth Prince also restrained his smile. Although he was not as blocked as the eldest prince and the second prince, the Thirteenth Prince has been silent over the years and few people have appeared in front of him.

Now, what is it? Do you show your deep love?

Thinking of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince's eyes facing each other, the Fourteenth Prince's heart was full of regret. If he had known this, even if he was acting like this, he would have come here twice more.

However, it is undeniable that when the Eighth Prince died, the Fourteenth Prince was also a little happy. If the Eighth Prince did not die, he felt uneasy and was always afraid of something going on.

After the Eighth Prince died, he became a little anxious after being happy. How to resolve the Ninth Prince’s resentment and the brothers “work together” again? He thought about this question for two days.

Tangquan, palace.

Cao Yong knelt behind the princes and the ministers, and greeted the people with them.

According to the rules, when the younger generation dies, the elders will also dress filial piety for the younger generation, which is called "anti-filial piety". However, rules are rules. Some only mean it during the funeral, while others will not be convinced. The more relatives are respected, the more they are.

Kangxi was wearing a regular dress, just the purse tied around his waist, not the usual golden silk embroidered dragon purse, but the plain blue purse.

After Kangxi called everyone to Ping, he asked about the matters in the capital. Several princes and ministers answered one after another.

After everyone returned, Kangxi waved his hand and asked everyone to "kneel down", leaving only the third prince and the fourth prince to talk.

As soon as Cao Yong went out, he saw the Sixteenth Prince waiting outside with a anxious look on his face.

Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince had been cleared, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked, "What's wrong with Master Sixteenth? I didn't hear that Master Sixteenth Prince is ill."

The sixteenth prince touched his chin and said, "What's so obvious?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "The face looks dim."

It is hard to explain in detail outside. The Sixteenth Prince called him to his residence and only talked about the addict of opium in the past few months.

Cao Yong was shocked when he heard this.

He knew the dangers of drugs best, so he wanted to do his best to do something for future generations. He also wanted to let him have this concept, so that he could do something to do with opium in the future and prevent it from being promoted in China.

Who would have thought that the Sixteenth Prince would try poison with his body because of his curiosity.

"In the past few months, I have also been thinking about quitting opium. After I lasted for seven days, I couldn't hold on. Fortunately, I didn't suck so hard, and I became even more addicted in the past two months." said the Sixteenth Prince.

"If you want to quit drugs with perseverance, you have to be in a remote and deserted place and make people look better." Cao Yong didn't care about his own blame at the moment, his mind was running rapidly, thinking about the drug rehabilitation method he knew in his previous life: "If this is not possible, you have to use medicine."

In a hurry, Cao Yong felt his mind empty. He didn't follow the doctor, so how could he know which drug was to inhibit drug addiction? In addition, most of the people he had come into contact with in his previous life were Western medicine, so he was really unfamiliar with Chinese medicine.

Seeing that Cao Yong was anxious, the sixteenth prince calmed down and smiled, saying, "What's the hurry? I'm looking at it, smoking opium is like smoking dry cigarettes, just to refresh myself. Isn't smoking dry cigarettes also a big addiction? Look at whether there is a prescription for quitting smoking in the medicine shop. If not, I'll find a place to cat for one month or two months. If I don't have the chance to get this, I'll quit."

What else can be said? Everything you say is useless, and you have to wait until you go to Beijing.

The sixteenth prince looked at Cao Yong's head and asked, "I heard that you are having the funeral of the Prime Minister on your side these days. Brother Ninth brother didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Speaking of this, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "No. I just do my best to be a job. The Ninth Prince may be too sad and don't care about anything else."

"Okay, why is it gone for a typhoid fever?" The Sixteenth Prince sighed and said, "Who would have thought that he would end like this? Speaking of which, it's good to treat brothers and sisters."

Cao Yong is not good at commenting on the Eighth Prince's behavior.

Speaking of which, since he entered Beijing in the 48th year of Kangxi, the Eighth Prince's popularity has not been as popular as before. In addition, Cao Yong thought he knew history and regarded the Eighth Prince as an unlucky prince, and wanted to stay away from it. He has rarely had any contacts in recent years; occasionally there is friction, which is mostly because of the Ninth Prince's side, and there is no such thing as having a grudge with the Eighth Prince, but it is not.

These days, Cao Yong saw and heard a lot at the funeral of the Lord of the Garden of Beile Mansion.

After all, the Eighth Prince is just a pitiful person. Even if he has some plans, Kangxi will throw out the bait and tease his sons to take the bait. This is the case with the banned eldest prince, and the Eighth Prince.

The two were sighing when an eunuch came over and brought Kangxi's oral instructions, saying that the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong met in front of the imperial guards.

In the palace, in addition to the third and fourth princes, the fifth and seventeenth princes were also there, there were also Yaerjiang A and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Yin was among them.

Kangxi sat on the kang, his face deep and he could not see his joy or anger.

After Cao Yong bowed to the Sixteenth Prince, he retreated behind everyone.

It turns out that what is now about the funeral of the Eighth Prince. Kangxi has asked someone to formulate an order and posthumously named the Eighth Prince Duluo Prince. The title is still the original character "六" and the Ministry of Rites has also drafted a posthumous title.

The posthumous titles drafted by the Ministry of Rites include the three words "hui", "an" and "shun". Please check them out by Kangxi.

A gentle and elegant person is called wisdom, a kind and not fighting is called peace, and a kind and obedient are called obedience. These three are all considered praise.

Kangxi hesitated for a moment, picked up his pen, and personally drew a circle on the word "shun".

When everyone in the hall heard that Kangxi gave the posthumous title to the Eighth Prince was "Shun". No matter what the relationship between Kangxi and the Eighth Prince was, at this time, he finally recognized the advantages of the Eighth Prince.

Cao Yong was not surprised by the fact that he was posthumously named as a prince, not a prince. Because among the princes of the dynasty, only the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince were named as a prince. If the eighth prince directly posthumously named as a prince, the seventh prince who was named as a prince would also be promoted.

Among all the princes, only the tenth prince is born as a concubine and has a noble status. He was higher than the previous princes when he was awarded the title. The other princes and princes are all the lower the title.

After the posthumous title was set, Kangxi had no interest in speaking, so he asked everyone to kneel down again.

Cao Yong didn't talk to his father just now. This time he came out, he would come to his father to pay his respects.

Cao Yin looked at his son, and his face became more kind and asked about family affairs. It seemed that the empress dowager had a long life, and the day of the calendar on the first day of the October lunar month, there were still many errands in the Ministry of Rites. Cao Yin gave a few instructions and went to talk to several officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Yiduli heard that Cao Yong was here to welcome the horse and came here. When he met again with a small separation, he also said a lot. However, the atmosphere in the palace is strange now, and they are not willing to make noise and joke.

Seeing Yiduli's face turned red and full of energy, Cao Yong was also happy for him and said, "Is this practicing riding and archery on the grassland? It looks much stronger, sir."

Yiduli patted his chest and said with a little pride: "Although I didn't come from the guard office, I had some real skills when I was a teenager. I was just tired and lazy these years. I have caught several deer deer after following the circumference these days."

When he mentioned this, Cao Yong thought of the vast grassland and felt a little nostalgic.

After Yiduli finished speaking, he saw Cao Yong not saying anything, and laughed twice: "Look at me, I'm arrogant, I can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north. The lord followed him and said, "I'm still talking about this?"

Cao Yong said: "Listen to the adults' narration, I also develop a yearning for it. If only I can follow the escort next year, I will be so happy to ride a horse and shoot a hunting place!"

Yiduli nodded vigorously and said, "That's it."

As the two were talking, they asked someone to pass the message, but the Fourth Prince asked Cao Yong to come over.

When Yiduli heard this, he glanced at Cao Yong and said, "Sir, I'm really busy. I've been here just now and said that the Sir, who was called by the Sixteenth Master, and this time it's the Fourth Master again."

Cao Yong patted his forehead and said, "It's because of the funeral I was in Beijing a few days ago, maybe the Fourth Master had something to give."

While talking, he left with Yidu and followed the eunuch to the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince sat at the table, looking at the two scrolls on the table, wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing someone outside telling Cao Yong that he had arrived, he raised his head and sang: "Call him in."

I have to say that Cao Yong's mood has changed a lot these days, but his respect for the Fourth Prince has been a lot. When he was sleepless in the middle of the night, Cao Yong was also thinking about whether there would be any huge changes in history. After all, the Eighth Prince has passed away and the pattern of fighting for the throne in the Nine Dragons has been broken.

However, after thinking about it, the Fourth Prince was still the most promising person among the various Kangxi scholars who had the most hope of inheriting the throne.

"The emperor's words are told to follow me back to Beijing and clean up. After half an hour, the fourth prince ordered quietly.

"I obey the order." Cao Yong leaned over and responded, swept his eyes to the two scrolls on the table, revealing yellow silk, which should be the imperial edict.

The Fourth Prince looked at Pingjing, and his heart was already in turmoil.

Cao Yong responded to this side. Seeing that the Fourth Prince had no other orders, he thought of retreating and preparing. Before he could speak, he heard the Fourth Prince ask, "The Emperor, I will go to the garden of Prince Lian's mansion to send an order." As he spoke, he pointed to the scroll that was leaning against the outside and said, "You can keep this."

Cao Yong responded, took two steps forward, and held the scroll.

The fourth prince looked at Cao Yong with a complicated expression, opened his mouth and wanted to say something. He hesitated for a moment, then closed his mouth tightly, waved his hand to signal Cao Yong to go out.

Seeing the Fourth Prince's reaction, Cao Yong also felt something was wrong.

When he retreated outside and saw that there was no one around, Cao Yong opened the imperial edict, which was posthumous title and gave him a posthumous title. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, when Kangxi left the third prince alone and the fourth prince spoke, Cao Yong also guessed whether the father and son were talking about the move. With the current nature of the Ninth prince, if anyone sent an order to move the move, it would be the enemy...

Thinking of this, Cao Yong looked at the imperial edict in his hand. What appeared in his mind was another volume of imperial edict on the table. Since his side was the chasing order, wouldn't the one in the fourth prince be the decree of moving spirits?

In this way, even if the Eighth Prince dies, the grudge between the Ninth Prince and the Fourth Prince will not be settled.

Uneasy all the way, Cao Yong rode on the horse, looking at the Fourth Prince's carriage in front, thinking of Kangxi's imperial mind, which made people feel cold all over.

Tangquan, palace.

The third prince sat on the chair with a little smile on his face, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea slowly, and praised the fifteenth prince: "Good tea, good tea, is it the winter tea from Xiao Shiliuyuan?"

"Yes." The fifteenth prince nodded and said, "If the third brother likes it, my brother still has a bag. I will respect the third brother. I don't love these."

The fourth prince returned to Beijing to pass the imperial edict. The happiest thing was the third prince. Thinking of Cao Yong who returned to Beijing with the fourth prince, the third prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of this, Cao Yong is also a person who values ​​affection. Otherwise, he would not have been filial to all these years because of the favor of saving his life in the Thirteenth year. The fourth prince is the same. Speaking of which, the fifteenth brother and the sixteenth brother are both Cao Yong's cousins, but the tea garden only gave the sixteenth brother, but he did not give the fifteenth brother. Maybe he was unintentional."

The fifteenth prince grew up in the palace as a child, but he had never heard anything. He only felt strange about such naked provocation. Over the years, he saw others becoming more and more experienced, but the third prince was becoming more and more unbearable.

Could it be that you write books all day long and make people stupid, otherwise how could you be so self-righteous and clever?

Although he looked down on the third prince from the bottom of his heart, the fifteenth prince still followed the third prince's words and said a little angry, "Yes, he is the eldest son and grandson of the Earl's Mansion. I am the illegitimate prince of the illegitimate son. I am not as loyal as the sixteenth brother. It's nothing to look down on me..."
