Chapter 926: Coercion

Ganqing Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.

Cao Yong knelt on the ground, feeling the heat was steaming, and thin sweat suddenly oozed out of his forehead.

When the Holy Lord was in the palace, he summoned his ministers here. After Cao Yong entered the capital, he was the first time he met him.

"Get up!" Kangxi's voice was old and helpless.

Cao Yong was not surprised by today's summons. Since the order to posthumously conferred the title of the queen, he was waiting for Kangxi's summons.

Whether you want to recognize your daughter privately or deal with it with the 100,000 taels of gold, you must make a decision.

However, Cao Yong misunderstood Kangxi. This old emperor simply wanted to give his beloved woman a title so that he could be buried with justice after his death and also wanted to make up for his daughter.

Back then, he allowed his daughter to wander away because he had hatred in his heart and because he took into account the Empress Dowager.

Various reasons made this a hidden pain in the emperor's heart that was untouchable, and he did not dare to touch it. Until he was old and until the empress dowager broke through the window paper, he could truly think about the daughter left by his beloved woman.

"Those things were prepared by the Empress Dowager for Empress Xiaoqi in his early years. Empress Xiaoqi is gone and will be followed by your mother. In the early years... in the early years I didn't know how to face your mother. I originally planned to wait a hundred years later to ask the Emperor to handle this matter... Now..." At this point, he paused and said, "Now, I know that I am wrong..."

Although the following words are vague, the meaning in the previous one is clear. The gold and property are indeed in the hands of Li, and Kangxi has no intention of taking them back.

Kangxi seemed extremely tired, and after saying this, he began to close his eyes and concentrate.

It was not until a while that he sighed quietly and said, "Princess Mi is feeling uncomfortable these days, so ask your mother to hand in the sign to enter the palace."

After hearing this, Cao Yong had no choice but to receive the decree.

Then, Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Kneel down and rest!"

Cao Yong retreated and sighed. He wanted to see people in the name of Wangpin. Even if his mother is dissatisfied, what can she do?

In front of the emperor, everyone must crawl on the ground and be dominated by the emperor's joy and anger.

The so-called "best love" may be just a vague dream in the emperor's heart. To put it bluntly, it is still because of "no seeking".

If Concubine Hui was alive and still in the harem, she would be in a situation like the two Concubine Huirong, and she would be old and ugly, just watching her husband constantly pampering her young concubines.

Cao Yong was thinking, Wei Zhu outside the warm-up pavilions had already stepped forward and whispered: "Master Cao..."

Seeing that he frowned, as if he had something to say, Cao Yong said, "Did General Wei see Master Sixteen today? I am looking for Master Sixteen. I wonder if he is going to work as a yamen in the yamen today or is he at the prince's office?"

"I don't know if Mr. Cao said that. I have to change the fruits from the Qing Palace. I am about to find Master Sixteen. If Lord Cao also goes to the office of the Interior Affairs Office, he will be able to go together." Wei Hei squeezed out a little smile and said.

"Ah, in this way, it's just going well, please, the chief executive." Cao Yong took a step sideways and stretched out his arm.

"Your Madam, please, please." Wei Zhu still didn't ask for it, and Cao Zhu walked half a step.

He had already been transferred from the deputy general manager of the Ganqing Palace, and now he is the first eunuch in the harem. Even when the emperor and grandson saw him, he would call him "Anda".

Seeing that he was polite to him, Cao Yong did not dare to attract attention in the palace anymore, so he took a step back and walked side by side with Wei Zhu.

Seeing this, Wei Zhu's eyes became more and more dim, and she faintly showed a little despair.

After leaving the Ganqing Gate, there were fewer guards and eunuchs in front of him. The two walked on the long corridor and headed to the main hall of the Interior Government Office.

"Master Cao, I am afraid I will die in vain..." Wei Zhu lowered his voice and said, "I had the idea of ​​luck in my early years. Now that I am being praised by the man, it is difficult to not die."

When Cao Yong heard that he didn't seem to be aimless, he whispered: "Did you have a difficult situation when your father-in-law encounters something?"

It wasn't that he was asking for trouble, but that Wei Zhu said this, so he must have something to ask for.

Cao Yong was willing to help Wei Zhu within his ability.

After more than ten years of knowing each other, Wei Zhu became the first person in front of the imperial court from the Ganqing Palace; Cao Yong also became the second-class guard and the second-class uncle and the hero-eun prince.

In the eyes of outsiders, both of them have become successful, and only they themselves know the terrifying heart.

What is rare is that Wei Zhu has always been kind to Cao Yong for more than ten years and has helped him a few times. Cao Yong is a person who is soft but not hard, but he is impatient and owes favors, so he is naturally not ordinary to Wei Zhu.

It was just because of their identity limitations that they could not be placed in front of others, and both of them maintained a tacit understanding.

"Someone occupied my house and asked someone to pass the message and handed me the braid of my mistress." Wei Zhu's voice was a little uneasy.

The mistress he mentioned was his third heir adopted.

Early years ago, Kangxi granted him a house outside the palace. He asked someone to pick two boys from his relatives in his hometown and take them as his heirs, wanting to support himself in his old age and see him off.

Although he had a good idea, the capital was not a sturdy land. He was also an eunuch and could not leave the palace once a few months.

His identity is also eye-catching. There are no fewer people in his family to hook up with these two half-grown boys.

At the age of teenagers, he not only had food, drink, gamble, but also complained about this eunuch adoptive father.

Wei Zhu was so angry that she could not bear the anger of the little boy. She beat him up and drove him back to her hometown.

He grew up a memory and just thought that he was not married to him, so he chose an heir, or a baby who had just turned one year old.

Now two or three years have passed, this "miss girl" should be three or four years old, and she is aged to learn language.

Everyone in the capital knows that this "miss" is the eyeball and the top of the head of the head of General Wei.

The above are just the words that are known to the public.

In fact, among the two teenagers who were driven back, there was only one who was Wei Zhu's youngest brother and his nephew whom he valued the most.

The idea of ​​driving the son and accepting him was given to him by Cao Yong.

In fact, there were too many people staring at Wei Zhu outside, and the two young men were not allowed to be plotted against.

Wei Zhu has been in the palace for many years, so how could he not tell that those drunkards are not drinking? He regrets not falling. He brought his nephew to the capital and fell into this sewage, so he was afraid that he would cause trouble.

But the children have already appeared in front of others, and even if they are sent back to their hometown, it will be easy for those who are interested to use it.

When he asked Cao Yong to take care of his nephews secretly, he raised a hidden worry with Cao Yong, and Cao Yong gave him this way to confuse others' attention.

In this way, not only can we downplay the influence of Wei Zhu's first two heirs, but we can also avoid everyone's bad intentions. After all, even if we want to use a baby in a cradle, everyone has nowhere to start.

Now, it has been peaceful for several years and lifelong trouble.

Because Wei Zhu had few opportunities to leave the palace, he attached great importance to the safety of the mansion. He sent people to Cangzhou and bought dozens of strong men as guards at a high price, and the guards were always strict.

Unexpectedly, without hearing any reports, the mansion was already under control.

Cao Yong was so excited when he heard this.

Wei Zhu was the one who served in front of the emperor. If he kidnapped the "miss three" and made any excessive demands, even if Wei Zhu did as he did, he would probably not be able to escape death.

"What did the other party ask for?" Cao Yong asked.

"I want the emperor's recent prescription." Wei Zhu whispered.

Speaking of this, the two of them looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

There is no need to think about the people who are looking at the prince’s prescription, but I don’t know which one they are.

Cao Yong thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I'm testing my father-in-law. If those people really want the emperor's prescription, it's cheaper to get from the Imperial Hospital."

If the test succeeds and capture Wei Zhu's painful foot, I don't know what the next requirement is.

"I also think of this, and I'm in panic and don't know what to do." Wei Zhu frowned.

The so-called "beloved son" is just a child brought by his relatives. He has seen him less than ten times in recent years, so he naturally cannot threaten him.

He was so nervous that the enemy was hiding in the dark, afraid of being shocked by the enemy and causing trouble to him.

"With the emperor here, it's better to ask the emperor to make the decision." Cao Yong whispered: "No matter what, loyalty is always right."

"If you offend me, it's the future..." Wei Zhu showed a little bit of disgrace.

"If you keep the word 'loyal', it's right to be wrong. If you lose this word, you will be doomed." Cao Yong said.

At Wei Zhu's position, how many people are staring at him. If there is a little difference, there will be no one or two people waiting to pull him down.

Wei Zhu, there is no choice at all.

Wei Zhu knew this in her heart, but she was a little unwilling to accept it.

He listened to Cao Yong's interpretation of these two sentences, but he felt at ease.

Thinking of the heir who was holding from his hometown in his cradle, and thinking that every time I hugged the child, I would take a few glances at the child's "little pepper", Wei Zhuping added a little bit of melancholy.

In this moment, I have already reached the Interior Government Office.

Today, the tributes are in storage. The sixteenth prince is holding the account book sent by the officials and is planning a suitable distribution.

He was a little surprised to see Wei Zhu and Cao Yong coming together.

Wei Zhu just spoke alone with Yuzi and Cao Yong, and told the Sixteenth Prince that the fruit was replaced and returned to Qianqing Palace.

The sixteenth prince glanced at Cao Yong, saw him wearing a refurbished uniform, and said, "Just come down from the imperial court?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Just just now, the emperor said that his aunt was feeling uncomfortable and asked my old lady to hand in the palace."

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he naturally felt enlightened and said, "No wonder I saw my mother being unconscious yesterday. It turned out to be 'uncomfortable'. Then I'll pay my respects to her later."

There are ears in the yamen walls, which are not the land where you speak, so Cao Yong didn't say much and went out of the palace.

The sixteenth prince looked at the tribute list and added the Earl's Mansion to the next head in the assignment to the clan.

The next day, Concubine De and Concubine Yi received news, and they learned that Concubine Wang was suffering from external evil and was lying in bed.

As the emperor grew older, the concubines in the harem also entered old age. It was common for taking pulses and taking medicine, so except for the fifteenth and sixteenth concubines who came to serve the Princess to serve the disease, they did not attract much attention.

Unexpectedly, three days later, Wangpin's cousin, Li, the wife of the Earl's Mansion, handed a memorial, hoping to ask for an order to enter the palace to pay his respects.

Although Concubine De and Concubine Yi were in charge of palace affairs, the queen's seal was in the hands of the highest-grade imperial concubine in the harem.

In the official business of the harem, the two of them were stamped with small seals first, and then the imperial concubine's palace was stamped with phoenix seals.
