In late July, it rained several times and the weather gradually cooled down.

Regarding the affairs of the Fucha family, Cao Hao no longer pays attention to it.

Beginning at the beginning of this year, not only did the whole country implement the principle of "apportioning the land into the mu" and "returning the expenses to the public," but also implemented the practice of "the gentry paying grain in one piece" in several provinces in the south, and these account books and income would eventually be examined and approved by the household department.

Even before the time of the year, when the official duties of the household department were heavy, the atmosphere of the household department was busy.

Relief is needed here, money needs to be allocated there, and the errands are very cumbersome. However, even if you are busy, as long as the treasury is abundant, there is nothing to worry about.

Yongzheng has only been on the throne for five years, whether it is the household department or the court, it is already a new atmosphere.

Although it is no longer possible to make oil and water as in the past, the household officials no longer have to worry about the lack of money in the treasury. At the end of the year, there is more money in the local treasury, and there will be more money that falls on everyone, and there is also a hope.

This year is still the year of "Jingcha" and "foreign planning".

The results of this Jingcha will come out at the end of the year, but from July, many people will not be able to sit still.

After knowing which Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and which Lang Zhong co-organizes, everyone will begin to pull the relationship and go to the door.

"Jingcha" has good results, not only can he be promoted, but he can also be given priority to being released.

Now the emperor is quite strict, and he is most attentive to the matter of greedy ink, and no one dares to risk the world's disapproval under the emperor's nose.

It's different when you put it out, you can not only get benefits, but also earn qualifications.

Jingguan is not easy to do.

For Cao Hao, the results of "Jingcha" were not important. However, he is the emperor's personal order of Jingtang, and the household department has been thriving in recent years, and the result of "Jingcha" will not be wrong.

What he paid more attention to was the evaluation of several cousins.

At the age of several cousins, he is already a leader among his peers. If you want to rise again, you need to be qualified. It can be evaluated well, and when it rises again in the future, it can also make up for a good position.

This is July 25, and Prince Chun was born at the age of forty-eight.

Because it is not a whole life, Prince Chun's mansion does not have a big job, but Cao Hao, who is a forehead, still took his family to the palace to celebrate his birthday.

In addition to the seventeenth elder brother, there is also the twenty-fourth elder brother of Prince Chun.

The twenty-fourth elder brother's biological mother was low, died early, and was raised by Prince Chun's mother Cheng Taifei since he was a child.

In the past few years, although Concubine Cheng has been out of the palace to be raised, and the twenty-fourth elder brother has also moved to the elder brother's office, the little elder brother is a person who values love, and if he gets the opportunity to leave the palace, he will come to the Chunwang Mansion to visit Concubine Cheng.

If you want to go out of the palace and wander around, it is not so cheap, and the little brother who is partial to the birth of this little brother voted for Yongzheng's fate, and the emperor is a little more tolerant of the younger brother.

Cao Hao knew that according to the known history, this little brother was going to be crowned the prince.

According to later generations, when Kangxi died and Yongzheng had not yet ascended the throne, several princes who seized the crown were unwilling to fail and wanted to deny Kangxi's last words.

When Kangxi died, Cao Hao was not in front of him, and the specific situation was also a royal secret.

However, this little brother's age is too young, and he is only twelve years old this year.

But he has a big generation, Hongshu wants to be called "Twenty-Four Uncles", Tianyou and Hengsheng want to call "Uncle Grandpa", and several Sun Elder Brothers in the palace want to be called "Uncle Zu".

The twenty-four elder brother was like a little adult, and asked someone to take out a lot of purses and give them to the grandchildren one by one, which is very elder-like.

Cao Hao and the seventeenth elder brother watched from the sidelines and couldn't help laughing.

However, the "old Cheng" of the twenty-fourth elder brother did not last long, and he couldn't sit still after sitting for a cup of tea, so he followed a few "nephews" who were older than him to the inner house to see Concubine Cheng.

At this time, there are two more clan kings.

Prince Chun took his son to entertain guests and instructed his son-in-law Cao Hao to accompany the seventeenth elder brother to talk.

"When I was twelve years old, I was also 'old', but I wasn't as innocent as Xiao Twenty-four...... The emperor is benevolent and treats a few little brothers. Little twenty-four, a few of them are much more comfortable than the grandfather's words back then......" Brother Seventeen remembered the past and said with emotion.

Although he didn't treat Cao Hao as an outsider, Cao Hao didn't want to say anything about royal affairs, and changed the topic and said: "I heard that the twentieth master left the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is not much left to say." ”

The seventeenth elder brother nodded and said, "The twentieth brother sealed Beizi last year, and he should have opened the mansion last year. It's just that because the mansion doesn't get together, it can't be vacated for a while, so it dragged on for more than half a year. ”

Regarding the lack of housing in the Internal Affairs Office, Cao Hao has also heard a little.

In the past, the clan was divided into different palaces, and according to different titles, the royal mansions were also different, but most of them were old mansions. After the other clans were lowered, the mansion was vacated.

At the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, the prince's mansion under the name of the Internal Affairs Office was not rich, and there were too many princes and grandchildren.

Yongzheng ascended the throne, although there were several princes, but for the nephew clan, it is still mainly to appease, the attack of the lord, the test of the seal.

All of a sudden, there were many more princely mansions in the capital, and there was a shortage of mansions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Speaking of this, the seventeenth elder brother remembered something and said, "By the way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will demarcate land at the entrance of Tongdeng Market on Beixiao Street in some time, do you have a house over there?" If so, don't forget to say hello to Brother Sixteen, so as to save the trouble of getting in. ”

"North Street?" When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you just scratch the ground over there last year, why did you draw it again this year?" ”

The Cao family does have two houses in Beixiao Street, two adjacent to each other, one for Niuniu as a dowry, and one for Tianhui.

Last year, in order to build a new palace for Prince Yi, Beixiao Street has been demarcated once. Cao Hao greeted the sixteenth elder brother first, and then he could avoid it.

If you concentrate on building the prince's mansion over there this time, I am afraid that your two mansions will not be able to get around.

"Several little elder brothers in the palace are getting older, the older elder brothers outside will have to be sealed in two years, and the princes and generals of the clan who have been demoted also need to make room for the mansion. This time, a total of 20 mansions will be built. There are 12 places on the north side of the street, and 8 places on the side of the Dengshikou. Brother Seventeen said.

When Cao Hao heard this, he only felt that it was extremely troublesome, and patted his head and said: "If you draw too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid it." Forget it, if you put it in, you will put it in, as long as the silver is replenished. ”

The seventeenth elder brother nodded and said, "That's fine, change to a quiet place, and the house is better than squeezing with a bunch of yellow belts." ”

Cao Hao remembered something unusual.

This newly renovated Prince Yi's Mansion is in the North Street of Chaoyangmen, which is eight or nine miles away from the palace, and is several miles away from the Old Yi Prince's Mansion in Goldfish Alley.

Yongzheng is the thirteenth master, how can he make his new palace far away? It's really puzzling.

When I came back from King Chun's Mansion, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

Chu Yu ate the wine, his face was slightly drunk, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, obviously in a good mood.

"Is there someone who praises Tianhui again and makes you beautiful like this?" Cao Hao asked with a smile.

Since the rumors of the Fucha family and the Cao family came out, Chu Yu took Tianhui with him when he went out to socialize. Every time she heard someone praise Tianhui, she was very happy, showing her motherly heart.

Chu Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not for this, I'm glad that the sky has eyes, and those who do bad things will always be punished." ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Hao said curiously.

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the Twelfth Uncle rectified the mansion the day before yesterday, and he had a few subordinates, and he was still in front of the subordinates, and he directly scolded the Twelfth Aunt, and almost did it." The twelfth aunt cried and went back to her parents' house, but no one supported her, and she was sent back by the Fucha family. She counted on her Lao Tzu to give her a head, but Ma Qi not only did not support her, but also went to the Zhenguo Mansion to make amends to Uncle Twelve in person. Now, the twelve aunts are copying Buddhist scriptures in the house to meditate. As an elder, she disregarded her relatives and directly talked about the reputation of our Tianhui, and it was considered her own evil to end up in this fate. ”

As a mother, her children are the scales.

The Fucha clan spread rumors, maybe it was just to get angry for a while, but it fell on Chu Yu, but it was a hatred of the skin, how could he not hold a grudge?

Cao Hao heard the sixteenth elder brother mention that the twelfth elder brother was scolded by Yongzheng, and he was not surprised by his behavior of rectifying the people in the mansion and restraining the twelve blessings.

What surprised Cao Hao was Ma Qi's response.

The weight of a powerful minister is much heavier than that of a clan town prince who has no errands.

Marzie was able to do that.

With the current identity of the Fucha family, his move is a little out of place.

Cao Hao touched his chin, only feeling that Ma Qi's "reparation" was very awkward.

I heard Chu Yu continue: "By the way, master, there is another thing, there is news from the palace, saying that yesterday after the Fucha clan 'returned to the door' with the fourth elder brother, he brought a girl from Fucha's house into the palace. Is there anything that Brother has that is not peaceful, do you want people to inquire? ”

Cao Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

He has worked as a guard, and has taken care of the internal affairs office, and knows the rules and regulations of the palace.

The palace gate is strict, how can you take whoever you want into the palace?

Even if the fourth elder brother is a prince and wants to bring people into the palace, he has to go through layers of reporting, and maybe he has to get royal approval.

Like yesterday, it is even more unruly to bring people into the palace temporarily.

The fourth elder brother is thoughtful, not a reckless person, and if he can allow his Fujin to bring people into the palace, he must have reported it in front of the palace.

It is also common for palace concubines to pick up juniors from their mother's family to live in the palace, but Sifujin has just entered the palace and is newly married. What is this bringing a young woman into the palace?

"Escort!!" The husband and wife reacted and said in unison.

Chu Yu was surprised: "It's also virtuous to please her husband like this, right?" Even people with a little head and face will not be like this, why is this the case with the dignified prince Fujin? ”

Cao Hao's side is thinking of Li Rongbao, who is terminally ill.

Pleasing Hongli? I'm afraid not.

is the daughter of the Fucha family, and the pattern will not be so small.

Cao Hao said: "I'm afraid that for the sake of Li Rongbao's poor health, the Fucha family will take the first step." In this way, even if Li Rongbao has a case and the Fucha clan keeps filial piety, there are also people waiting for Hongli. Whether it's the emperor's eldest grandson or the emperor's grandson, it seems that the Fucha family is bound to win......"
