Chapter 915: Meeting with Kiss (Chinese)

Fortunately, Cao Yong had several sets of replenishment, court and auspicious clothes, some were based on titles and some were based on official positions. Therefore, Cao Yong, who had put on a formal Earl Python suit and went outside the camp to welcome Prince Zhuoliketu Batma, who also brought out a bit of style.

Since I got the news yesterday and knew that I would go out with Cao Yong to greet me today, the third prince was shocked and puzzled.

He didn't know if the emperor's father didn't like Cao Yong and the Fourth Prince were too close to him, so he did it on purpose, or had other intentions.

Cao Yong was thinking about the princes and princes coming to court one after another, and he wondered how much more money the sixteenth prince could earn.

After more than a month, the production of cigarette holders on the Sixteenth Prince has increased.

In addition to this, he also accepted Cao Yong's opinion and made another pipe series.

This is not restricted by cigarette promotion and is more likely to be accepted by older powerful people.

As a descendant of two generations, Korqin married the Qing royal family before and after entering the pass. So far, there were eight princesses who helped Korqin and dozens of other royal women.

Nearly a hundred women married into the Qing royal family in Mongolia, half of whom were from Korqin.

It can be said that through marriages and marriages among several generations, eight out of ten of the princes and princes of the Korqin tribes have the bloodline of the Aisin Jueluo family. Emperor Shunzhi of the Shizu was born by Empress Xiaozhuang, and the descendants of the Shizu also have the Mongol of Korqin.

Prince Korqin had the most fertile fiefs, the most rewards from the court, and the most children were appointed to the government.

Make money from them and you will definitely gain a lot.

Seeing Cao Yong so calm, the third prince couldn't help it and smiled twice: "The emperor's eyes are keen to recognize people. I think Lord Cao can be very good at errands at the Lifan Academy!"

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this.

Could it be that Kangxi really meant to transfer him to the Lifan Courtyard?

It took half a year to get started with the errands of the Ministry of Revenue. If you arrive at the Lifan Court, you will have to start again.

However, he was not disgusted with the transfer.

Speaking with the Fourth Prince, the future policies such as "spending acres to acre" and "fire consumption to the public" are certainly exciting, but Cao Yong is not interested in being an executor.

Even the Fourth Prince was the emperor's honor, and because of his implementation of these two items, he offended the gentry and left a bad reputation from history books to the people. As a minister, he was even more likely to make enemies in these reforms, and he might even be withdrawn by the emperor as a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong suddenly woke up.

He is too close to the Fourth Prince. Although he can lay the foundation for the future reunion between the king and his ministers, there is still the saying "The capable ones work harder". If the Fourth Prince is counting on himself to "share the worries for the king", then he dare not accept it?

No, it seems that it has to be more "dull" after the dealings, so that the Fourth Prince is worried about handing over the big things to him.

I have been a little fluttering these days, and what I am pursuing is not the path of a powerful minister.

"The prince praised me for being mediocre and ignorant, so how could the Lords of the Lifan Academy be able to do it? It was just that the emperor looked at me at my leisure and let me see the world with me." Cao Yong made up his mind and said with a hinterland on his face.

He did not ignore it. When the third prince said this, several officials from the Lifanyuan next to him looked at him.

Seeing that Cao Yong was pushing him cleanly, the third prince couldn't get Kangxi's idea, so he smiled and said a few words next to him.

At this moment, smoke and dust could be seen in the distance. With the sound of horse hooves, a group of cavalry of more than a dozen people came slowly with more than a dozen carriages.

The number of attendants from various royal families in Inner Mongolia and the number of princes and princes from Outer Mongolia comes to the court is stipulated.

Otherwise, if one unit dispatches a team of thousands of people, it will be difficult to provide it by means of the road, and it will be difficult to deal with even when you are in front of the imperial court.

After all, if all the princes of Mongolian, Beile, brought dozens of cavalry to the scene, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the sage entourage would be nothing.

If the Mongols really united and rely on the right place to reconcile the people, they could make dumplings for the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Because there were flags here, people came to notice.

The third prince was wearing a golden python robe and standing in front of everyone, which was very eye-catching.

So, twenty steps away from everyone, the carriage stopped.

Among the cavalry, there was a strong man in gorgeous clothes who turned over and dismounted and spoke in front of the carriage.

The curtain was lifted open, and the slightly fat Prince of Zhuoliktu Batma stepped on the horse's back of a young slave and got off the carriage.

The third prince looked back at Cao Yong, signaled him to follow and come out to greet him.

Batma has been a prince for more than 30 years. He comes to court every year and sometimes takes turns to the capital, so he is familiar with the third prince.

Seeing that the third prince came out to greet him, he walked a few steps regardless of his fat body.

This greeting was lively.

After saying these warm words for a while, Batma took the third prince's arm, looked at Cao Yong, and asked the third prince: "What do you call this young man? He looks familiar."

He speaks Chinese very well and has a good sense of human nature. He has been a prince for more than 30 years, although he has not taken charge of the flag responsibilities, he has also brought some majesty to the superior.

Seeing that Cao Yong was young, he wore a python suit, a belt with gold-carved jade inlaid ruby ​​on his waist, and a hat on his head was decorated with Dongzhu. He was dressed as Hou Bo, so Batma took a closer look.

"This is the prince of Heshuo, the second-class prince Cao Yong, who married the eldest prince of the Prince Chun's mansion and the grandson-in-law of the Emperor Ama. Although he is young, he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he is young and promising." The third prince smiled, but there were many words of praise.

Cao Yong also followed the guards outside the frontier several times in his early years, and had a slapped face with Batma, shook his sleeves, and said, "Cao Yong has met the prince, please help me."

"Secret of Cao?" Batma couldn't help but look at Cao Yong again and whispered: "Cao Yin, the Minister of Rites, who is you?"

When Cao Yong heard this, he was a little surprised. His father was in Jiangning and rarely went to Mongolia during his lifetime.

It was just a few years ago that I followed my entourage and arrived at Birehe. Could it be that I met Batma that time?

"Reply to the prince's words, what the prince mentioned is exactly the name of my father." Cao Yong replied.

Batma hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something. Finally, he shut up and called the man in the gorgeous clothes behind him to introduce him to the third prince and Cao Yong.

That was Prince Altangehule, who was in his thirties. He had an authentic Mongolian appearance, strong figure, high cheekbones, thick lips, huge gem rings on his hands, gold chains exposed on his chest, Mongolian knife on his waist, gold and jade gems on his handles, and a purse tied to his belt was also sewn with gold thread, which was extremely luxurious.

Cao Yong was shocked by his "fat sheep dress" as the third prince greeted the prince.

It seems that Changshengtian cannot bring him good luck. With his silly outfit, the Sixteenth Prince would be happy to treat him as the big shot.

Unexpectedly, the prince heard Cao Yong's surname and his reaction was similar to Batma. Although he did not ask who his father and grandfather were, he also looked at Cao Yong several times.

Even the third prince saw that something was wrong and muttered in his heart. He didn't hear that Cao Yin and Prince Zhuo Li Ketu had old age. Why would they still pay attention to the Cao family, who came from Baoyi?

Although he was strange, it was not the time to ask questions now, so he asked Batma to get on the bus again and the group returned to the Saint Driver's journey.

The tents of the lucky Mongolian princes and the Mongolian princes who came to the court were arranged in the southwest of the camp, surrounded by the Eight Banners Guardians.

The officer of the Lifan Academy brought Prince Zhuoliketu's entourage to the place, and the prince and the prince were directly led by the third prince to two adjacent major accounts.

Then, he took the prince's greeting letter and took Cao Yong back to the imperial court to report.

Because it was not early today, Kangxi ordered the summoning of Batma and his son tomorrow morning. Tonight, a banquet will be held for the Lifan Academy to welcome Batma and his son. Several princes, two Grand Secretary, Lifan Academy and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Cao Yong will accompany them.

It is understandable that this is a matter of getting the numbers to pick up people; how can you still have your own share when you meet others?

When Cao Yong came down from the front of the emperor, he was a little confused. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Sixteenth Prince's account.

In the 16th Prince's account, two officials from the Interior Affairs Office were talking to each other with a booklet.

So far, from the various Mongolian tribes who came to the court, which of them came, what titles they had, and how many followers they followed, they listed them one by one.

Seeing that Cao Yong was coming, the Sixteenth Prince did not avoid him and carefully checked a few data before the officer could go down.

"Isn't the Lifan Academy responsible for the reception of various Mongolian departments? Why does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have any accounts?" Cao Yong asked with a smile.

"It's the booklet from Lifanyuan. I asked someone to find someone to borrow it from my third brother..." Speaking of this, he looked at the auspicious clothes that Cao Yong was wearing and said, "Is this someone coming back? It seems that the number of people can be added to it."

"Prince Zhuoliketu and the prince have arrived, and there are several children from the royal family in the entourage." Cao Yong said without waiting for him to ask more questions, saying what the sixteenth prince was concerned about: "It is said that Korqin is rich, and it is true. There are more than a dozen carriages with property brought by the prince this time."

The sixteenth prince heard the words, his eyes shining, and he said with a smile: "Is that so? It seems that I have to be very close to the old prince."

Cao Yong found a chair and sat down, saying, "Justice had just ordered that the prince and the prince be held in the evening, and all the princes should accompany you. I believe that the third prince should come over to pass the order later."

The sixteenth prince waved his hand, sent Zhao Feng and others out, and came to Cao Yong and said, "Furuo, have you ever thought about it? I and the fifteenth brother are free, why did the Emperor call you out to greet me?"

"What else can there be? Is it the same weight as the two princes going out to welcome him? Although Prince Zhuoliktu has a noble status, he is a free prince after all, and there is Prince Zasak and the Khan in Outer Mongolia. If he comes to court, the two princes come out to welcome him. In the future, Prince Zasak and the Khan come, wouldn't he want three or four princes to welcome him?" Cao Yong replied casually.

The Sixteenth Prince frowned and said, "That's it? I always feel that it's not just for this reason. The Emperor Ahma won't do it for no reason. According to you, add a gentle prince to the point of being gentle. What's the point?"

After hearing what he said, Cao Yong remembered the eyes of Prince Zhuo Liketu and his son looking at him, and said, "It's something wrong. Tonight, the banquet was accompanied by several princes, two grand princes, the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Lifan Academy, and me. How could this entertaining foreign vassals not be affected by the Ministry of Revenue?"

The Sixteenth Prince has always been smart, but at this moment, his head has been turning several times.

He thought of a possibility, he hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "Fruo, do you still remember the rumors related to your aunt's life experience? Some people say that the woman related to Prince Bo and Emperor Ama is the Borjijit clan who was posthumously named Concubine Hui. The Borjijit clan's father was Duke of Korqin, the side branch of Prince Zhuoliketu."

This suddenly involved the incident several lifetimes ago. Cao Yong suddenly realized: "No way? What is the emperor's intention?"

The sixteenth prince touched his chin and said, "Is it because the Emperor Ama helps Furuo find relatives? The Li family has long had a rift with your family. Outsiders don't know, but the Emperor Ama knows it. Now that you are young, it's not easy to support a family without help."

When Cao Yong heard this, he was amused and laughed and said, "Sixteenth Master, I am already twenty-eight, not eighteen. Besides, even if I really have a relative, I have been separated by several generations and are so far away. How can I help me?"

The Sixteenth Prince disagreed with Cao Yong's age.

Just as he sometimes couldn't accept that he was about to reach his thirties, he couldn't accept that Cao Yong was about to enter middle age.

But the second half of Cao Yong's words are real.

The sixteenth prince said in confusion: "That's because of other reasons. I guessed wrong..."

*

In Prince Zhuoliktu's tent, Batma sat on the couch and drank the milk tea in his hand in one go.

With the rumor of the Mongolian female slaves, the prince entered the tent.

"Have you found out clearly?" Batma asked in Mongolian.

"Abu, my son has found out clearly. This Cao Yong is the eldest son of Cao Yin and Mrs. Li. Cao Yin died of illness in the 57th year of Kangxi. Cao Yong was filial piety before. Before filial piety, he served as the Minister of the Taipu Temple and the General Manager of the Internal Affairs Office. After the mourning period, he directly called the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and was the second rank." The prince replied in a low voice near the front.

"The emperor really values ​​him... It seems that Eji's last order is reasonable..." Batma sighed and said.

The prince disagreed and said, "Abu, after all these years, even the emperor has not sent anyone to ask for these goods, so why do you still take the initiative to send them? The bannermen have been scrambling land, and their lives are more prosperous than us, and they are not short of these. In order to collect these goods, we have emptied our palace."

Batma waved his hand and refused to let his son say again: "Your grandmother is a sensible person and will not leave this last wish for nothing. This is not just your grandmother's last wish, but probably the Queen Mother's will during her lifetime. They are all incompetent for the father. A few years ago, because of the royal family's expenses, they have only collected all the money and property."

The prince was still a little dissatisfied and said, "This is a free gift. Even if Abu gives it less, others don't know."

"Looking at Changshengtian, Korqin is not a traitor." Batma glared at his son and said.

The prince closed his mouth and said nothing more.

In fact, he had many doubts in his heart, wondering if the emperor was short of money and was not willing to ask for it openly. The empress dowager only told her grandmother during her lifetime.
