When Yuzhu rushed to the Qianqing Palace with a small hammer, Kangxi was chatting with Sun Laotaijun and Cao Yin in the imperial garden.
After the ceremony, Kangxi pointed at the jade pillar and said with a smile: "Nanny, how do you feel about the son-in-law I have chosen for you?"
Mrs. Sun quickly leaned forward and said, "Master, do you still need to ask about your vision?"
"Haha, Grandma Sun, you can talk much better than before." Kangxi sighed with emotion. "Back then, I had acne and left the palace in an extremely miserable state. Alas, I didn't have any relatives around me, that is, Sun Grandma, you, and Grandma Wen and the others."
"Master, being able to serve you is the honor of my whole family." Mrs. Sun glanced at Cao Yin, then at Yuzhu, and finally her eyes fell on the little iron hammer. .
According to the original plan of the Cao family, they would fully support Cao Yi and the son born to Cao Yi.
This decision is in the interest of everyone in the Cao family, including Mrs. Sun.
Because Mrs. Sun has loved Cao Yi since she was a child, even more than her own son Cao Quan.
Vision determines height!
No one in the Banner family dares to make false claims about the future fortune. Mrs. Sun herself is a clear example.
At that time, if the Sun family had not been able to survive, why would the Sun family have married the widower Cao Xi?
Sun became Cao Xi's step-wife, so she was qualified to participate in the selection of the emperor's nanny, and was favored by the Empress Dowager.
To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager chose Sun because she trusted Cao Xi.
Later, Kangxi proposed Cao Yi's marriage to Nersu, which really verified Mrs. Sun's vision.
The emperor still favored the Cao family.
However, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and Cao Yi, who supported the Cao family with all his strength, actually failed.
There is no other way, the emperor is old, the prince seems to be in trouble, the eighth master is jealous of the emperor again, and Mrs. Sun can no longer see clearly the future of the Cao family.
Although Cao Chun is also a daughter of the Cao family, she is not the Cao Yi who has been raised by Mrs. Sun since she was a child.
To put it bluntly, Cao Chun and Mrs. Sun, and even Cao Yin, don't have much affection.
In the opinion of Mrs. Sun, when it comes to taking sides in the power circle, it is only right to stand directly on the side of the prince's elder brother who hopes to inherit the throne.
Cao Yin had previously agreed with Mrs. Sun's view.
However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, all the political speculations of the Cao family so far have ended in disastrous defeat.
When Kangxi saw Mrs. Sun staring intently at Little Iron Hammer, he smiled and said: "Mother Sun, your great-grandson's name is Iron Hammer. This son was born in Xining..." He took the trouble to tell the story of Iron Hammer's origins, which are treasured by many families. Said it once.
Yuzhu knew it well, and Kangxi knew his situation very well.
However, Yuzhu had already made up his mind. As long as Kang Mazi did not close his eyes, he would be the biggest and most trustworthy pure minister.
At the end, Kangxi suddenly stared at Cao Yin, stroked his beard, smiled, and said lightly: "Ziqing, why do you need to ask for such a good son-in-law and great grandson?"
The tip of Cao Yin's heart trembled violently, and his legs immediately softened from fear. He quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Master, slave..."
Mrs. Sun was a very old lady after all, so she also knelt down, but she was not too flustered.
"Master, old slave..." Mrs. Sun was about to explain, but Kangxi stopped her with a wave of his hand.
Kangxi sighed and said: "Wealth is charming. After getting good things, you still want more. It's just human nature. I don't blame you. However, in the future, it's better to be more content."
"Master, I don't dare to think nonsense anymore." Mrs. Sun shook her head and kowtowed several times.
This time, Kangxi did not stop her and allowed her to kowtow to plead guilty.
"This slave has betrayed the divine grace. Please punish me severely." Cao Yin fell to the ground and did not dare to take a breath.
Kangxi knelt down, took the initiative to pull up Mrs. Sun, and said softly: "Mother Sun, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are old and well-off, so you should live your life with peace of mind."
At this time, Wei Zhu cleverly saw Kangxi's secret gesture, took the brocade box from the little eunuch's hand, and held it in front of Kangxi with both hands.
"Take it and burn it!" Kangxi did not look at the brocade box, but stared at Yuzhu.
Yuzhu understood that she was waiting for him to express his position, so he quickly knelt down and said very sincerely: "Go back to the emperor, how can I be so virtuous and capable as a servant? How dare you..."
Kangxi understood Yuzhu's thoughts very well. Before Yuzhu could say anything to evade his words, he smiled and said: "Look, among the exotic flowers and plants in this garden, there will inevitably be some withered branches and fallen leaves. Now, it's time to pick them.
, still need to be picked.”
"Hey." Of course Yuzhu understood the old emperor's hint, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and obeyed his order.
Kangxi's meaning is already very clear.
Except for Mrs. Sun and Cao Yin, who need to be protected by jade pillars, the scum in the Cao family should be picked and eliminated without mercy.
To put it bluntly, what Kangxi really cared about was his grandma Sun and his son Cao Yin. The old emperor had no special feelings for the other Cao family members.
Let Yuzhu protect the safety of Cao's family. This was Kangxi's true intention of marrying Cao Chun to Yuzhu.
If Yuzhu had been ruthless to the Cao family before, imagine if the family members were so cruel to his wives, his loyalty to the emperor would be greatly compromised.
However, after this incident, Yuzhu gained Kangxi's trust and also obtained custody of the entire Cao family.
The impeachment secrets contained in the brocade box were taken and burned by Wei Zhu.
The old emperor's meaning is clear: in the past, you can be exempted from the blame, but if you do it again, you will not be forgiven lightly.
Everyone is understanding, and Wei Zhu sees it clearly.
Long live the Lord called Yuzhu and his son over and expressed his entrustment. This is the greatest love for the Cao family.
However, when Yuzhu knelt down, Kangxi walked slowly to him, squatted down, and whispered: "When will you give birth?"
Yuzhu couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. It was obvious that Kangxi was asking about Cao Yi's delivery date.
"Well, after the baby is born, if he is a brother, he will be brought to the palace and raised by my side." Kangxi had already said this, and what else could Yuzhu say, so he had to agree.
Early the next morning, Yuzhu entered the Qianqing Palace, and after taking over his duties with Norobu, he went to seek an audience with Kangxi.
"Back to the emperor, last night, Cao Quan drank too much and openly called for the door outside Chaoyang Gate. He was captured by the patrolling Eight Banners Infantry Battalion..." Yuzhu reported Cao Quan's various misdeeds in detail.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and asked Yuzhu: "In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"
"Back to the emperor, in my opinion, it is better to order him to fulfill his filial piety at home and not to go out without authorization." Yuzhu's suggestion was tantamount to confining Cao Quan in disguise.
Kangxi had just given Yuzhu the power to supervise the Cao family yesterday. Now, naturally, it was difficult to say anything, so he nodded in agreement.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief, capture the king first!
Yuzhu knew better than anyone that if Cao Quan's evil tendencies were not curbed, it would not serve as a warning to the Cao family.
If Cao Quan, the culprit, is locked in a cage, the Cao family will have to be good for a few years, right?
The Cao family in history repeatedly tried to seek death, and finally collapsed together with Li Xu.
If Lao Shisan hadn't tried his best to save him, the Cao family would have suffered a bloody misfortune along with Li Xu's family.
After hitting the snake seven inches, Yuzhu opened the knife on Mrs. Sun's own son, and asked the Cao family if they were afraid?
Perhaps Yuzhu was too cruel, but Cao Chun has been in a good mood since he came back from the Cao family's old house.
"Sir, I went back to my parents' house, and guess what, they almost treat me like an ancestor."
After years of depression, Cao Chun felt so relieved once he felt proud and proud, and couldn't help but exchange a few words with the man.
Yuzhu had something in his heart. The reason why he had an affair with Cao Yi was in Kangxi's hands.
Of course, this certificate is both elegant and affordable.
Not to mention, after Kangxi found out that Yuzhu could be killed at any time, he trusted Yuzhu even more.
As for if Cao Yi gave birth to a son and would raise him in the palace in the future, it was just that Kangxi was worried about confusing the royal bloodline.
If Kangxi really wanted a hostage, whether it was Xiao Xuan Yu or Xiao Iron Hammer, they were ten thousand times stronger than Yu Zhu's illegitimate son.
On the second day, Yuzhu returned to Long Mansion to discuss the matter with Long Keduo.
After the father and son finished their discussion, Yuzhu returned to his yard and happened to hear Xiuyun talking.
"Although Qingwen is a slave sent by the Cao Mansion, our master has never treated her as a slave in these years. According to my original intention, I might as well just give her a concubine, for fear of our master
I don’t mean that. So, you go and find out what she’s talking about and see what she feels like?”
Yuzhu nodded secretly, "Xiuyun, this great lady, is indeed extremely virtuous and extremely generous."
After returning to the house and changing his clothes, Yuzhu went to the study, where there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
After Yuzhu had been busy for a while, he suddenly heard that Wu Jiang came to report and Qingwen asked to see him.
Yuzhu nodded and thought to himself, I'm afraid it's the marriage that Xiuyun mentioned, right?
Over the years, Yuzhu has been pampering Qingwen, letting her read and practice calligraphy, learn how to run a family, and even teach her how to do business.
Not long after, Qingwen came in, knelt down and shouted: "I pay my respects to you, Master."
Yuzhu was very satisfied after hearing this title. Qingwen, the cleanest girl in Dream of Red Mansions, should be like this.
After Qingwen got up, a peony flower that was the most fragrant in the world seemed to be blooming in front of Yuzhu's eyes. It was so bright that people dared not look directly at it.
Uh-huh, I have a daughter in my family who has just grown up.
After so many years, Yuzhu has worked hard to turn a little beauty into a peerless peony. It is not easy.
"Go back to the young master, my thoughts are all in this." Qingwen held up a piece of snow paper with a delicate fragrance in her hands.
Yuzhu took it with a smile, but saw that there was only the word "Yue" in small regular script with hairpins on the snow paper, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
At this moment, Yuzhu's waist suddenly tightened, and Qingwen's whisper rang in his ears, "Sir, I have been pleased with you for a long time. If you refuse, I will die in front of you."
Yuzhu is not Liu Xiahui, the stunning peony who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. How could he let her go?
"You little naughty devil, when did you become happy with me?" Yuzhu picked up the slightly trembling Qingwen and placed her on the kang.
"Except for you, the young master, I don't look down on other stinky men."
This flattery was indeed captured well. Yuzhu felt extremely comfortable and immediately said with a smile: "Good boy, don't be afraid. I am good at picking peonies."
