Chapter 330: Beautiful woman

Changchun Garden, Arrow Hall.

Although it was a small dynasty meeting, it was the first time that Kangxi summoned ministers when he came back from the Great Wall. In addition to a few princes in charge of the ministry, all six ministers and nine ministers arrived. Among the civil and military officials, Cao Yong was the youngest and had the lowest rank. Therefore, he stood honestly at the end of the civil servants.

Even so, Cao Yong seemed a little eye-catching. He was just an agent before, and even at the end of April he formally appointed the Taipu Temple Minister, because he was in the early May, he did not attend several court meetings.

Before the Emperor Kangxi arrived, the people in the Arrow Hall had different expressions. Because they got up early, there were old Grand Secretary, old Shangshu and others, so they couldn't stand it and they drowsy with their eyes closed; there were also groups of people gathered together and whispered.

Cao Yong stood at the end, with Taichang Temple Minister and Guanglu Temple Minister in front of him. After the two old men nodded and greeted Cao Yong, they also said something about the yamen errands without saying a word.

Cao Yong was really tired because he didn't sleep all night last night, but he didn't feel like other white-haired adults dozing off like other white-haired adults. He was very solemn. He remembered the images in the mirror he saw at home just now, and felt a little funny. Not to mention anything else, he really had the meaning of "black-faced Bao Gong" when drawing crescents between his eyebrows.

Finally, he was at Maozheng (six o'clock in the morning), and Kangxi went to court.

There was not much discussion on the court this morning. Kangxi first ordered Prince Heshuocheng Yunzhi to compile the books on Lu Lu's Algorithm, and wrote them at Mengyangzhai. He also mentioned that forty-five people including Zhao Hai were learning algorithms. These people took the exam and those with excellent learning could be allowed to walk in the Xiushuo Shuo.

What Kangxi asked the next thing that Cao Yong raised his ears and sounded carefully. Because Kangxi mentioned a person in his words, that was Nian Gengyao who made his fortune in the late Kangxi and early Yongzheng.

Kangxi asked the Minister of Personnel Zhang Penghong, "How is Sichuan Governor Nian Gengyao appointed as an official?"

Zhang Pengcheng went out to report: "Reply to the words of Master Long live, I heard that Nian Gengyao was doing his psychological matters in the local area."

Kangxi nodded and said, "How is the ethics?"

Zhang Penghong leaned over and replied, "I will not receive anyone from my hometown who came to Beijing, and I am not sure about it."

Because Zhang Penghong went to Zhejiang to try the case of the former governor of Liangjiang Gali and Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing in recent years, Kangxi asked the governors of several other provinces in Jiangnan how they were in charge of the governors.

Zhang Pengchong's speech was a little vague, only saying that he was "you can still pay attention to it."

Obviously, Kangxi was not satisfied with this commentary and said to all civil and military officials with a calm face: "You are all ministers. Whether the wise and honest governors of the world should be careful and careful in order to prepare for consultants and report the memorials impartially. Although the disciples and old friends were old, many of them were favored and protected, so that the governors and governors knew that they were afraid and encouraged. However, I often had some consultations, some said that they had not been in the same office, or they said that they did not meet people on weekdays, and they did not know clearly, so it was unreasonable to refuse them!" At the end of the story, I was already a little annoyed.

Although Cao Yong lowered his head, he also had a vague understanding in his heart. In addition to Nian Gengyao, the governor of Zhejiang Wang Duzhao whom Kangxi asked just now was also the governor of Zhejiang.

Wang Duzhao was a junior college student and was a Jinshi in the 21st year of Kangxi. He was an outside official in his early years and later moved to Beijing. He served as the Minister of Guanglu Temple and the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture. He was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Left Assistant Censor, and the Minister of Taichang Temple. In the 49th year of Kangxi, he was released from the Governor of Panyuan and was transferred to the Governor of Zhejiang in the same year.

The year before yesterday, after the case of Gali and Zhang Boxing's mutual complaint came out, Wang Duzhao was also the governor of Jiangsu. He was originally a saint and a well-known figure among the governors of the world. In recent years, due to the repeated recommendations of subordinates, he has violated the taboo of Kangxi and has been criticized several times.

Jiangnan, Jiangnan has always been the most guarded place for Kangxi. It seems that Wang Duzhao's governor is about to sit down. When Cao Yong thought of this, he became more and more determined to let the Cao family find a way to escape from Jiangnan.

Even if Kangxi had a great trust in the Cao family, who knew what Yongzheng would think? Half of the world's taxes came from Jiangnan. Half of the scholars from the world's scholars came from Jiangnan.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" and the "Three Massacres of Jiading" all occurred in Jiangnan. How many people in Jiangnan have no blood and deep hatred with the imperial court? If there are changes in Jiangnan, why not let the imperial court be frightened?

Kangxi was not worried about corrupt Manchu officials like Gali who were in charge of Jiangnan; Kangxi, who was well-known in the Shilin, was not at ease. Kangxi was not at ease with Jiangnan.

After reprimanding all civil and military officials, Kangxi asked about Li Fajia, the governor of the Concubine Jin. Several Grand Secretarys reported that his official position was "declared" to "declare him well."

Kangxi glanced at everyone and said, "After Pan Zongluo was appointed as the governor of Hunan, he was not as good as the Hanlin, and he was resigned. Li Fajia, the governor of Fujian, was promoted to the governor of Hunan."

It was just a clear statement. Everyone present was an old man in the officialdom. How many people didn't know Kangxi's original intention? Even Cao Yong, the youngest, knew that Pan Zongluo was probably implicated by Zhang Boxing and Wang Duzhao.

Li Fajia was born as a miscellaneous official, not from a Jinshi. Although he worked diligently for most of his life, he was not recognized by the Shilin. Kangxi promoted him to govern Hunan to avoid the second "Wang Duzhao" and the second "Zhang Boxing".

After telling Li Fajia's affairs, Kangxi said in a deep voice. Then the eunuch followed the rules and shouted: "If you have a fortune, you will report it early, and if you don't have a fortune, you will leave the court!"

After a while, the eunuch saw that there was no official to submit a note, so he looked at Kangxi on the dragon throne. Seeing him nodding, he shouted: "Retreat the court!"

When the drum music started, everyone knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, respectfully sending Kangxi back to court. When the drum music gradually faded away, everyone stood up and dispersed.

Cao Yong did not leave immediately because the Seventh Prince also came to Xiaochao today.

After Cao Yong invited An, the two of them went to the Daoyuan Gate together. The Seventh Prince asked, "Is this my return yesterday? I haven't heard of the letter."

Cao Yong replied: "I arrived yesterday afternoon. It was already dark when I entered Beijing, so I didn't go up to my father-in-law's house."

Seeing that his face was slightly dark and his face was a little thin, the seventh prince said, "I just heard that you went to do a job. After all the troubles, where did you go to pass the order?"

Cao Yong heard Mr. Zhuang say last night that he found out why Bai Kangxi issued a ban order, so he replied according to Kangxi's instructions: "I helped Zhebuzundanba Living Buddha to send a letter to Alaxan Beile!"

The Seventh Prince had followed Kangxi to the west in his early years and knew more about West Mongolia. He nodded and said, "I can't blame you for being exhausted. Alaxan is nearly 5,000 miles away from the capital. It's really hard to go back and forth."

While talking, the two of them had already left the garden. Seeing that Cao Yong was also coming in a carriage, the Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Because I heard that your mansion also had to clean up the garden, I happened to build a land north of Guanyin Hall in the south of Haidian Town, so I also built a place for you nearby. Now that the construction outside is almost the same, should I go over and take a look?"

Cao Yong had heard Chu Yu mention this matter last night, so he could not thank his father-in-law again, and then the two of them went to Haidian Town together.

Although this place is far away in the suburbs of Beijing, a straight bluestone road has been built. There are many luxury houses on both sides of the road, many of which are red doors and green tiles.

The location chosen by the Seventh Prince's Mansion is on the east side of the road, and it is diagonally opposite the garden of Prince Kang's Mansion. The Cao family's garden is next to the garden of the Seventh Prince's family, and is on the south side.

Now, the courtyard wall has been repaired, and the main pavilions and towers during the period have begun to appear in scale. The garden of the Seventh Prince's family covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres, and the scale of the Cao Mansion has been slightly reduced, but it is still nearly 20 acres.

Because the construction was still under construction here, it was a bit messy. The Seventh Prince and Cao Yong just took a rough look and didn't leave much.

After leaving the garden, the seventh prince said, "The flowers, stones and other things will be purchased from Jiangnan in the first month of next year. Then, Furuo will send two proper people to Furuo."

Cao Yong thought in his mind that if the garden is about to enter the summer next year, it will be repaired in April and May. Even if people go to Jiangnan in the first month, they are now purchasing flowers, wood, lake and stones, and life is a bit tight. Therefore, he said to the seventh prince: "Father-in-law, where are the design drawings of the gardens on both sides? If you need to buy things, you can ask someone to organize them into a book. The son-in-law's house is in Jiangning, and he asks him to prepare earlier when he delivers a letter, so he will be more abundant next spring."

The Seventh Prince thought about it, nodded, and said, "Well, this is more appropriate. You are not an outsider, and I don't want to be polite. Ask someone to make a list of the items you need and send someone to you!"

Cao Yong said: "That's what it should be!"

The seventh prince pointed to the garden of Prince Kang's mansion that had passed by the street and said, "I heard that the old concubine is recuperating here and has not returned to the city yet. I will go over and invite an old man to the city. Furuo will go back to the city first. Take a good rest in the past two days and go to the palace for a drink in two days!"

Cao Yong responded and watched the seventh prince go to Prince Kang's garden before getting on the carriage.

Xiaoman didn't ride a horse, sat on the other side of the carriage, and smiled and said, "Uncle, it's better to have a small idea, right? Not to mention the old man, even the young man is a small man, and he doesn't want to ride a horse again for ten days and a half months."

Cao Yong sat in the carriage. When he relaxed, he couldn't open his eyes and smiled and said, "You're right. If you were on the road, I'm afraid I'd fall down!"

After hearing this, Xiaoman handed his hand into his cuffs, showing a smug look on his face, and couldn't help but hum a small song from his mouth.

Zhang Yi, Zhao Tong, Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong were accompanied by horses.

Seeing Xiaoman doing this, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Look, it was just a job with the uncle, which made us Xiaoman exhausted!"

Xiaoman raised his chin and said, "Nothing else, this time it has made Xiaoman look like a world! The meadow is half-human deep and the geese are everywhere, and they always hear the yelling of wolves. If it weren't for the fastest journey, it would be a good place to see the scenery!"

Because Cao Yong had previously explained, several people asked, and Xiaoman only said that he was going to Alaxan.

No one here has ever been to Mongolia. He is confused about these place names and can't remember them. He doesn't know where they are. He just heard that the horse is fast and it will take nearly a month to walk, and everyone is shocked.

Zhang Yidao: "This distance is farther than that of the capital to Jiangning?"

Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's natural, it's not just about going back and forth."

Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong both worshipped Wei Hei as their masters and have always been closest to Wei Hei. They couldn't help but ask Xiaoman when he would return to Beijing.

Xiaoman stretched out his finger and pulled it out, "It took us two days to go to Beijing with Zhangjiakou for more than 300 miles. Uncle Wei wanted to protect the carriage and come back with the second young master. It will be no more tomorrow and the next day..."

While talking, the carriage reached a fork in the road, and everyone heard laughter and a woman's bellow shout in the middle.

I saw a carriage parked on the side of the road, and several young people in the air were surrounded by the carriage, smiling, and their mouths were unclean. There were several servants and other people following them, and they started to make fun of them.

The curtain of the carriage had been torn off, and the coachman and a male servant stood in front of the carriage, showing a look of horror on their faces.

There was a pair of masters and servants sitting in the carriage. The maid was so scared that she was still blocking her master. How could she block her? Behind her was a young woman in plain clothes, staring at her phoenix eyes, her face was flushed with anger.

Xiaoman and others couldn't stand it. They were thinking about whether to ask the uncle and took action to take charge. When they heard the young woman in the car sing, "Do you dare to commit crimes in broad daylight? At the important part of the capital, is there no king's law at the foot of the emperor?"

Cao Yong sat in the car, confused. Although he had heard some sounds outside before, it was not true. Now, when he heard the young woman's voice, he immediately opened his eyes.

This voice really looks familiar, a little dumb, and a little Nanyin. Besides who dares to plot against the Cao family, who is in business with Cao Yong, who is there?

He immediately picked up the curtain and said, "Stop!"

The young woman pretended to be loudly yelling when she saw someone passing by here, and wanted to scare away these playboys. Seeing that the carriage stopped here, she couldn't help but look over here.

Just as Cao Yong got off the carriage, he followed the sound and looked at the young woman.

The two of them were separated by a road, and looked straight ahead, and they both spoke in surprise.

When Han Jiang saw his acquaintance, he felt relieved and nodded to Cao Yong calmly.

Cao Yong was stunned and could not speak, almost unable to believe his eyes. After a while, he murmured: "Wen Xiu..."
