Chapter 909: The New Year’s Day

Hongming is just a guest, and not a close guest. Such a big lala's fighting style seems a bit rude.

However, growing up in the palace, everyone can change their faces.

Hongming had already looked warm and said to Yiduli: "Oh, it turns out that Lord Yi is still in-laws with his brother-in-law. It seems that after going to the Internal Affairs Office, there is no need to find the sixteenth uncle, and he also needs to ask the adults to take care of him."

"The second prince has a noble status, so where is it not the servant's turn to take care of him? The second prince told me that the servant dared not obey his orders?" Yiduli replied without being soft or hard.

He was born in the prime minister's mansion and was also a little arrogant. Hongming gave him shamelessness, so how could he be patient to deal with it?

So what about the emperor's grandson? The emperor's spirit of the dragon horse, the prince gave birth to more than 30 people, and the twenty-fourth prince was the one who gave birth to the following. Except for a few young princes, the other princes all became biological children.

There are always hundreds of emperors in this capital. After all, Hongming has no titles or responsibilities, and not everyone holds the 14th Prince's thigh and comes up to curry favor with him.

Hongming was pushed by Yi Duli's words, and his face looked a little bad. He looked awkwardly at the owner Cao Yong at the banquet, waiting for him to smooth things over.

How could Cao Yong follow his heart? To be honest, he really wished to offend him.

I have not been in court for the past two years, and I have watched coldly. Cao Yong has already seen that Kangxi has just painted a cake for the 14th Prince.

As a "Peaceful" monarch and after the Eight Banners gained a foothold within the pass, they needed "civilized governance" to support the people. How could they need the "martial master" emperor to be the successor?

Seeing that Hongming couldn't come to Taiwan, Cao Yong just pretended to be stupid and was too lazy to hand him the steps.

"The second prince is a distinguished guest, so it's not easy to neglect it. Come on, let's have another seat and invite the second prince and Fu Peng to sit on the seat." The previous sentence was what Cao Yong said to Hongming, but behind him was the servant of the Cao family who was ordered to serve next to him.

This cannot be said to be unruly. After all, the Sixteenth Prince and Yiduli are elders of Cao Yong, and Hongming and Fu Peng are peers and juniors, so it is normal to do it separately.

The servant went to answer. The sixteenth prince had already pulled Yidu and sat down and talked. Hongming stood aside, but couldn't wait. He squeezed out a little laugh and said, "I won't beg for mercy if I get the birthday gift. I will go to the Fourth Uncle's house to pay my respects..."

Cao Yong politely left a few words and asked Wu Sheng to send him out.

When Hongming went out, his anger was a little uncontrollable, but he could not force Cao Yong to put the two "elders" aside and send him out.

After all, in terms of noble status, his grandson is not as good as the prince of the Sixteenth Prince.

There were only three people in the face of the screen, including the Sixteenth Prince, Cao Yong and Yiduli. The Sixteenth Prince sat in the middle, Yidu stood in his left hand and Cao Yong was on his right hand.

Seeing that Hongming was leaving, Cao Yong personally held the pot and leaned forward to fill the wine for the sixteenth prince and Yiduli.

Instead of polite to the two of them, he punished himself with a cup and said, "Okay, I've delayed the opening, it's all mine."

The sixteenth prince naturally knew that he was apologizing to Yiduli and looked at Yiduli.

Yiduli had turned from anger to frustration. He raised his neck, drank the wine in a glass of wine, and smiled bitterly: "Furu said this, he would be a heretic. I am not good at it myself. I have been in the official position for more than twenty years and I am still at the fifth grade in my forties. How can I blame others for looking down on me?"

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, the sixteenth prince hurriedly said, "Take it down, Lao Yi is more content. Just say that those Jinshi who are from the real brand are in their sixties, and they are not uncommon to be the magistrate. Now he is a thirty person. He has been a resident of more than ten years, and he has not even made a general of Fengen, nor has he complained..."

Cao Yong and Yiduli both laughed in one sentence.

Iduli was not a disappointment either. He put down his wine glass, and his earlier annoyance had disappeared...

In the inner courtyard, Fu Peng accompanied Bao Ya to talk in the water pavilion, and Alslen also sat down at Fu Peng's head, making accompaniment with Su Su.

After a while, I saw Chu Yu come over to inquire in detail.

Seeing this, Fu Peng and Alslen both stood up from their seats.

Since Hongming, who came with Fu Peng, left, shouldn't he leave Fu Peng and Alslen to use mats on the water pavilion? Everyone is closest, so it's better to be cheaper.

Baoya wanted to stay with his nephew for a while, so he naturally nodded and said that Chu Yu would bother.

Chu Yu had a female guest who wanted to accompany him, so after saying a few words, he went over to accompany him.

Speaking of which, Fu Peng was born on June 26, 47th year of the Kangxi reign, and his birthday was only a few days apart from Cao Yong.

As an aunt, Baoya is naturally concerned about the clothes, shoes and socks prepared by herself. They are all made of the best materials and choose the most beautiful royal blue color.

After all, she has been a mother for many years. Although her needlework is not outstanding now, she cannot compare with those people on the needlework, but she finally doesn't reveal her stitches and can barely see people.

The clothes that Fu Peng wore today were the ones that Baoya sent to the palace a few days ago. The sleeves were a bit long and had been decorated with stitches.

Baoya was also happy when she saw that her nephew was in love...

Not to mention the reunion of Baoya and Fu Peng, Hongming came out of Cao's house and returned to the palace hungryly.

The so-called "going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to pay tribute was just an excuse. Because the Fourth Prince was not close to the Fourth Prince, Hongming also avoided his relatives' uncle.

When he returned to the palace, the servants arranged for food, but Hongming was so angry that he dealt with him for a few random mouthfuls, and then put down his chopsticks.

He didn't know whether he was angry about Cao Yong's "negligence", or his ignorance, or his 16th Prince's freedom and freedom.

In this royal family, mothers are valued by their sons, and sons are valued by their mothers.

A prince with a low-class mother like the Sixteenth Prince should be a sturdy person like the Seventh Prince and the Twelfth Prince; he was the one who was born in the Sixteenth Prince and the Emperor's favorite in recent years.

Because he did not compete for the throne, he was sleek and close to the princes.

But Hongming forgot that he is a legitimate son, but he is not a legitimate grandson, and his identity is not nobler than that of the sixteenth prince.

He looked down on the Sixteenth Prince and thought that Concubine Wang was of a low origin. He was a few Han girls who "paid tribute" in Jiangnan in his early years. However, he forgot that his grandmother was born as a coated mansion and was not a good birth when he entered the palace at all.

Thinking of the dusty face in Cao's house, Hongming was very angry.

He narrowed his eyes, called someone, asked a few questions in a low voice, then got up and headed forward to the emperor.

The weather is sunny recently, and Kangxi has to take a walk by the Haizi after dinner every day.

The grandparents and grandchildren "meeted unexpectedly", and Kangxi had to call this grandson and talk about it for a few words.

Although Hongming was seventeen, he was still in the study room and did not come out to work, so he knew how to avoid taboos and did not mention government affairs, but just talked about family matters.

Seeing that his grandson was willing to flatter, Kangxi was not happy.

After being the emperor for more than 60 years, he naturally had the Fire Eye Jinjing. Hongming's little cleverness was not yet attracted to Kangxi's eyes.

Hongming came in anger, just to give some eye drops to the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong. He also saw that Cao Yong was "as timid as a mouse" and was not a courageous person.

On the surface, we should not take sides or form cliques. We should inherit the tradition of the Cao family and be a "pure minister"; in fact, we should avoid being implicated in the fight for the throne.

Thinking of Cao Yong's alienation to him, Hongming felt disgusted.

He was a lowly man, just because he borrowed the light of his father and grandfather, married the princess and attacked the count, and regarded him as a pound.

Although he despised both Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince in his heart, he did not dare to sarcastically because of his fear of Kangxi, and just turned the topic to the "smoke mouth" that has been popular recently in Rehe.

"No wonder the Sixteenth Uncle relies on Cao's son. Cao's son, the name of "money-boy" is really not false. His grandson is convinced... Only a little while, the sixteenth Uncle will search all the silver in the pockets of the Mongolian prince... In the future, if the Emperor Mafa uses silver in the inner treasury, he should ask Cao's son to think of a solution, and it would be fine if he could immediately..." Hongming said with a smile and casually.

Merchants are a path. Although Kangxi was unhappy that his son could earn money from Mongolian princes, he was not satisfied with Cao Yong's "inaction" in the past six months.

The Minister of Revenue is responsible for the finances of a country, not children playing house.

Just when I want the treasury to be rich, I have to think of serious ways. It’s not just to do a small business or to pack up a small object.

Therefore, after hearing Hongming's words, he snorted coldly.

Among them, there is both dissatisfaction with Cao Yong's "not competing" and disdain for Hongming's cleverness.

His words erased the credit for the Sixteenth Prince's work in the Interior Department and described the friendship between the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong as a use.

In Hongming's heart, he thought that Huang Mafa was dissatisfied with the Sixteenth Prince's business affairs in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was secretly happy and lowered his head and said, "Compared with Uncle Sixteen, his grandson is really ashamed... When Uncle Sixteenth was as old as his grandson, he had already come out of the study room to work, but his grandson was stupid and had to study..."

Kangxi glanced at him, with no warmth in his eyes, but his tone was calm and gentle: "You have different identities, so you don't have to compare them together. Your task is to study hard and be familiar with the way of governing..."

Hongming’s words “resentment” on himself are envious of the two princes of the Third Prince’s Mansion and the Fifth Prince’s Mansion for many years, but he is so old and is still studying in the study room.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi said this.

Although the outside world was talking about the 14th Prince as the crown prince and Hongming was vaguely regarded as the crown prince, after all, there was no accurate letter, and Hongming was also nervous.

Unexpectedly, just by the sea, Kangxi would say such things as "difficult" in the gossip between the grandparents and grandchildren.

Hongming felt his body soft and could hardly stand. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi was completely unaware of it. Because the sky was getting darker, he thought it was dark clouds covering the sun, so he raised his head.

Just one look, his face changed...

There is no relevant forecast for the Sun and Sun Eclipse in the Sun, and the Imperial Heaven Supervision has not made any relevant forecasts in advance.

The war disaster in the northwest, the people in the southeast were in chaos, and the Central Plains were severely drought... and the solar eclipse was also caught. The foolish people were ignorant and did not know that the changes in the sun, moon and stars were natural, and they only regarded abnormal changes as a warning from God...

The sun and sun eclipse, how would the people think of him as the emperor... Kangxi only felt that his mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and his eyes turned black...

He heard Hongming beside him feel a little anxious and shouted, "Imperial Mafa..."

Although Hongming also knew something about the Western astronomical calendar in the study room, he did not believe it.

The climate this year is already abnormal, with severe drought in the Central Plains, rainfall in Huguang, and now there is a new sun and solar eclipse...

Hongming was not thinking about God’s warning, but “Tiangou swallows the sun”.

There is no two kings in the country, and there is no two suns in the sky.

The Emperor Mafa has reached the twilight years... Hongming supported Kangxi, and his heart was "pulled" and "pulled". It seems that it is indeed a wise move to let Ama return to Beijing to work...

*

Solar eclipse, solar eclipse.

It cannot be said that the solar eclipse is rare, but it is a once-in-a-century experience to be seen in Rehe.

At Cao's house, the guests came to drink for three rounds and said goodbye and left. Cao Yong came out to see the guests off.
To be continued...
