Chapter 910: Happy Garden (Part 1)

In addition to the dark sky, the temperature dropped sharply. Cao Yong felt a layer of goose bumps on his arm instantly.

The officials who were originally watching the solar eclipse in the yard with glazed tiles were all brought back to the hall with a little fear. Even Yiduli, who was drunk, woke up a lot of wine and walked to Cao Yong with a familiar official.

Darkness and silence make time long, but in fact, light begins to grow in just a blink of an eye.

In less than half a cup of tea, the solar eclipse has been over, but the sun is still shining with the scorching sun.

Everyone woke up from a big dream. No matter how they thought in their hearts, their faces were very calm, and they said goodbye to Cao Yong.

Only slightly rushing steps revealed their panic.

Yiduli had already found a chair and sat down. When Cao Yong finished sending the guests, he was already in his dream.

No one was in the mood to have another second meal. The sixteenth prince felt uneasy and said to Cao Yong: "Fufu, let's do it today, I'll go back first..."

Cao Yong knew that he was worried about Kangxi, so he did not stop him and sent him out of the mansion.

According to the common law of every solar eclipse, the Grand Secretary or the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice had to write a memorial to "repay guilt and blame". I wonder which old minister was fortunate to "share" the emperor this time.

Cao Yong returned to the hall and looked at Yiduli who was sleeping soundly. He couldn't tell him to sleep in the chair all the time, so he asked two servants to help him to the guest room for a nap.

At this moment, Fu Peng brought Alslen over. Alslen was fine, but he was still a terrible person. It seemed that he had not been fooled by the solar eclipse just now. Fu Peng's face was pale, which was very different from the young man Cao Yong had seen earlier.

"Uncle, total solar eclipse...Northwest..." No matter how steady he is, he is only a fourteen-year-old child. Thinking of his father who is far away in the northwest, he still feels a little frightened.

Seeing him like this, Cao Yong was a little surprised.

Then I thought about it, the Western astronomy and calendar is not the main course in the study, but the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince and others mostly know a little about it through books.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong waved his hand, called Fu Peng and Alslen to sit down, and gave their cousins ​​a simple course related to eclipse.

"This solar eclipse occurs every year, and is caused by the intersection of the moon and the sun. What we saw just now is not what the people say is that the 'Tian Dog swallows the sun', nor is it born with a strange appearance, but the moon blocks the sun..." Cao Yong concluded.

Fu Peng still thought carefully, while Alslen was confused and said, "Cousin, the sun comes out at daytime and the moon goes on at night, how can they meet together?"

Seeing that he was ignorant, Cao Yong got up and brought a tea tray, put it on a few tables, put a tea cup not far from the tea tray, took out a pocket watch and placed it on the side of the tea cup.

"The tea tray is like the sun, the tea cup is the earth we are staying at, and this pocket watch is the moon. The earth is around the sun, and the moon is around the earth. When the moon reaches the middle of the earth and the sun and blocks the light, it will be a solar eclipse." Cao Yong pointed to several cases and said.

Arslen didn't understand it. It was not because he was clumsy, but because he was a little confused about the "earth", the sun and moon that could turn. But he didn't say much, just looked at Fu Peng. Seeing his cousin's clear expression, he no longer showed any timidity, thinking that he would ask his cousin privately later.

Even if Fu Peng didn't know what the solar eclipse was going on, he could understand after hearing Cao Yong's explanation. After all, there was a glob of the palace, which had more basic knowledge than the little Mongolian prince Alslen.

Now, he is not worried anymore, he feels a little embarrassed...

Kangxi was sick. Although the news in the palace was tight, the princes and princes in Rehe went to the summer resort to serve the disease, and the atmosphere at the government office was not right.

Officials from the six ministries had to take turns in the imperial court every day. From the beginning of the new month, Kangxi had already stopped the small court.

Every year, Suihu Rehe is regarded as a beautiful woman by everyone. She is not only decent, but also has the opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor. Now, everyone is suffering.

If the Saint is really unexpected, then Rehe is an important place. Who knows what happens...

Because history has undergone minor changes, Cao Yong dared not guarantee that Kangxi could survive until next year, and he was also a little confused.

Thinking that the Eighth Prince died of illness, the Fourteenth Prince would not come for a while. Nian Gengyao was already in charge of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Longkodo as the Nine Gate Admiral, so Cao Yong calmed down.

To put it bluntly, the Fourth Prince is not a good person. All the arrangements should be made. Even if Kangxi is surprised now, with the Fourth Prince planning for many years, this position seems to be unable to escape.

In this way, Cao Yong would do whatever he should do, and while there was no new job to send him down for a few days, he would cook the official documents at hand.

Whether it is the Ministry of Revenue or other yamen officials or officials, many people are staring at Cao Yong.

The reason is that he has good contacts with the Sixteenth Prince and is well-informed.

Although Cao Yong didn't say anything, his "calmness" made many people calm down from anxiety...

Kangxi was indeed sick, but he was not as serious as outside speculation.

It was only because he was older and more suspicious and was worried that his sons would stay in the palace in the name of "serving the sick".

For a moment, several princes took turns to serve medicine, and they all looked like "father kind and son filial".

Like the third prince, he is even more sure that the emperor's father wants to use this to check everyone's "filial piety", and his purpose is naturally to choose a deposit...

Since the day when I served in front of the emperor, the third prince refused to sleep well. He only had two meals in front of him. He had a beard and wrinkles on his clothes, which looked like a filial son in front of the bed.

But he was used to wealth and wealth. After two or three days of slaughter, he couldn't stand it. There were too many eyes in the palace and it was difficult for him to touch and eat. He slapped himself in the mouth and drank milk tea hard. No matter when, the smell of milk was smelly when he opened his mouth.

He was so artificial that the Sixteenth Prince sneered.

The sixteenth prince really hoped that Kangxi would live a long life. Although there were several older princes, it was not his turn to take medicine, but he was not bothered. He just took advantage of the convenience of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cook the imperial kitchen and imperial tea room properly.

Although he pretended to be calm on his face, he was anxious, and his mouth was filled with blisters.

Even though he didn't want to eat or eat, he didn't dare to be casual, because he knew that he could not fall down, whether it was for himself or for his mother.

Whenever it was time to eat, the Sixteenth Prince would pour in two bowls of porridge, regardless of whether he had an appetite or not.

One drinks milk tea when he sees the sky, and the other drinks only porridge. After a few days, the third prince and the sixteenth prince both saw a clear decline, but compared with the fourth prince who is becoming more and more "Dao Bone Fairy Style", the two of them are no longer visible.

Since he entered the palace and served, the fourth prince fasted and vegetarian food, and only used one meal a day. Not only that, he also wrote Buddhist scriptures in blood and prayed for the emperor's father's welfare.

Even Concubine De, who was not close to her eldest son, was moved when she saw the appearance of the Fourth Prince.

The Sixteenth Prince saw it and was a little confused. He was not suspicious of the Fourth Prince's falsehood, but rather doubting himself. Why did the Third Prince feel artificial when acting; the Fourth Prince's behavior should feel pious when acting?

Kangxi was bedridden and rarely spoke every day, but his sons also saw the changes.

Whether it is sincerity or falsehood, for an old man, he enjoys the feeling that his descendants are serving him. In addition, he is indeed lacking in energy, so he was worried about state affairs a few days ago, so he took the opportunity to let himself rest for a few days.

However, he also knew that the rest should not be too long, so as to avoid unstable foreign ministers.

In a blink of an eye, on the tenth day of July, the Fujian Admiral Shi Shibu's handout was sent to the front for 600 miles in a hurry.

The civil unrest in Taiwan has been quelled, the thief leader Zhu Yigui has been captured, and the other followers have either suppressed or appeased, and all have been handled.

Seeing this good news, Kangxi knew that he could no longer be "ill" and that there were still many things he needed to cook for himself.

Since the southeast was flat, he, the emperor, was much more confident. He symbolically criticized two Grand Secretary who wrote a note due to solar eclipse and picked himself cleanly.

As he recovered from his illness, the princes and princes also ended their life as "serving sick" and did whatever they should do.

As a result, the fourth prince finally couldn't stand it and came out of the palace and fell ill.

The Fourth Prince was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and happened to be Cao Yong's direct superior. The boss was sick, and Cao Yong was not willing to lose his etiquette as a subordinate, so he had to visit him.

The fourth prince was fasting and vegetarian, and he did not make any public comments. The sixteenth prince was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and learned about this from the eunuch.

He did not hide it from Cao Yong and told Cao Yong about this.

Cao Yong was really surprised. He always thought that the Fourth Prince was a restrained person, but he didn't expect that he would do this.

However, he did not make much trouble and gave some "blood-enhancing" medicinal materials by himself. Instead, he picked two boxes of high-end ginseng and sent them to the Fourth Prince's mansion in person.

As for the Sixteenth Prince, he did not neglect to send a box of fresh lotus seeds, honeysuckle, mint, etc., all of which were used to remove the fire.

The Fourth Prince was probably very ill and did not come out to meet the guests. Cao Yong did not sit for a long time and came out after giving the gift.

As soon as he left the gate of the palace, before he could get on the horse, Cao Yong saw many people coming slowly not far away surrounded by a carriage.

Xiaoman saw that the pedestrian was already familiar with the person leading the team: "Huh? It looks like Master Sixteenth?"

Cao Yong looked at the horse and saw that the man riding a horse looked a little like the Sixteenth Prince.

He was looking at him and saw the man riding a horse and walking a few steps forward and said, "Mr. Cao..."

At this moment, everyone was approaching, and the guards around the carriage were all guards.

Cao Yong put down the reins of the horse, drove forward, and said in a proper manner: "I have met Master Sixteen, please feel free to Master Sixteen."

The sixteenth prince had already jumped off the horse, looked back at the carriage, and said, "The Holy Lord is here, Lord Cao..."

Speaking of this, he seemed a little embarrassed, and didn't know whether to send Cao Yong to avoid it or to act. He did not make any decision. He first sent someone to the front to pass the message to the gatehouse of the Fourth Prince's Mansion to open the middle door, and then walked to the already parked carriage and bowed, "Emperor, Cao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is here, you see..."
