Li Wei worships him like this, where does Cao Hao feel good?

He hurriedly got up, dodged away, and said, "If you have something to say, it's not like that." ”

It is obviously not easy to make a refreshing person like Li Wei speak.

Sure enough, when Li Wei opened his mouth, Cao Hao felt a headache.

In the past half month of entering Beijing, Li Wei has already understood the reason why Cao Hao specially instructed him to "send his eldest son to Beijing" that day.

This can be regarded as an officialdom practice, and there are always relatives of foreign governors who stay in Beijing.

It's really Li Wei's foundation in officialdom is too shallow, although there is an uncle who has been a Beijing official, because of his low grade, he can't touch this level.

Except for Cao Hao, no one thought of saying this to Li Wei.

Cao Hao remembered himself and reminded Li Wei of this sentence.

While Li Wei is hot, he has also become the target of many people.

He implemented various new policies in Jiangnan, although it was to implement the holy will, but it violated the interests of the local gentry.

Under the imperial power, no one dared to resent the emperor, and the rest was to anger Li Wei.

Half of the Jinshi in each branch are from the south of the Yangtze River, and who has no relatives and children in the court who are a little famous?

Even if Li Wei is personally ordered by Yongzheng, everyone can make money.

Sending his son to Beijing is not only to show loyalty to the emperor, but also to give the emperor the opportunity to show favor to Li Wei; In addition, it is to make Li Wei have an official spokesperson in Beijing, so that those who want to cling can find opportunities to cling.

In this way, Li Wei is no longer a duckweed in the officialdom.

Li Wei asked Cao Hao for his eldest son Li Xingyuan.

He had already decided to wait for the New Year to send his son to Beijing immediately.

If you take the time to take care of one or two, with Cao Hao's identity, it is just a matter of one sentence, but to discipline the son of others for several years, this is definitely a thankless task.

Although Li Wei is several years older than Cao Hao, his eldest son is about the same age as Tianyou, and according to Li Wei, he is a little struggling in schoolwork and has not yet participated in the children's exam.

When Li Wei was in Beijing in his early years, his wife and children did not enter Beijing, but stayed in his hometown in Xuzhou.

When Li Wei arrived in Jiangnan, the old lady of the Li family insisted and let Li Wei take his family to take office.

Therefore, Cao Hao did not meet Li Xingyuan.

As a friend of his father's generation, he disciplined a young man, and he was a little incorrect and unspeakable.

can be Cao Hao and Li Wei's identities, if Li Xingyuan is directly accepted as a student, it will inevitably attract attention.

Even if the two of them are worthy of it, it will inevitably cause rumors and speculation outside.

Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "If you want your nephew to take the imperial examination, let your nephew worship under the fourth sect of my family." ”

When Li Wei heard this, his face immediately showed joy.

Among the brothers of the Cao family, Cao Xiang's official position was not obvious, but he was only a bachelor from the Sipin Hanlin Academy. But he was born in Tanhualang, and he worked as a local scholar and politician, and the people he interacted with were all scholars.

"Thank you, sir. However, ......" said, Li Wei hesitated a little: "Am I going to visit the fourth master in person today, please do this?" ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I am in a high position, how many people are staring at it between actions, and the movement is too big." Or wait for my nephew to enter Beijing, let him take your handwritten letter, and hand the post directly to my fourth child. ”

Since Cao Hao arranged it like this, Li Wei didn't feel that it was inappropriate.

The day he left Beijing was set for tomorrow.

In addition to entrusting his eldest son, who is about to go to Beijing, to Cao Hao today, he also said goodbye to Cao Hao in advance.

As for going out of the city to say goodbye or something, when it comes to their relationship, it is not suitable for those false tricks.

Because he left Beijing tomorrow, Li Wei said that there were still many things to take care of, so he didn't sit in the household for a long time, and after eating half a cup of tea, he said goodbye and left, and was interrupted by Li Wei, Cao Hao's original irritable mood also calmed down.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are not controlled by manpower, not only the thirteenth elder brother, as the years go by, the relatives and friends he knows are getting older, and they have to face aging and death.

When Luo Ya returned home, Cao Hao sent someone to Dongfu to invite Cao Xiang to come over and introduce him to a student.

Hearing that his cousin introduced him to a student, Cao Xiang was quite moved: "Big brother, how is this Li Xingyuan's homework, have you ever started a career?" ”

He spent several years in the Hanlin Academy, and worked as a student in the local area, and he was accustomed to seeing young people with outstanding literary talents, and he was quite fond of talent.

Sadly, most of the talented people have teachers; And those who want to worship under Cao Xiang's door mostly want to borrow the power of the Cao family, and there are no eye-catching talents, and Cao Xiang is not rare.

Cao Hao was eating tea and almost choked when he heard the words.

He put down the teacup and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid that the fourth brother will be disappointed, as far as I know, Li Xingyuan's child test has not ended." ”

"Huh?" It was Cao Xiang's turn to be surprised: "Who is this Li Xingyuan?" Could it be a relative of the uncle's mother's family? ”

"If that's the case, I don't have to go around the bush and arrange it under the name of the fourth brother. He is Li Wei's eldest son, and he will enter Beijing after the year and entrust him to me to take care of him. I didn't want to come forward, so I asked my fourth brother to accept the apprentices on my behalf, just to discipline them in a proper manner. Cao Hao said.

When Cao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Li Wei is already not confused, how old is his eldest son, and he hasn't taken the boy's test yet?" ”

In the same year as Tianyou, because he was in the countryside in his early years, he was late in enlightenment and was delayed for two years. However, according to Li Wei, he struggled with his homework. Cao Hao said truthfully.

Cao Xiang frowned and said, "But as the son of the overseer, you can't always be white." Do you have any good advice, big brother? ”

Although he has not seen Li Xingyuan yet, since he was arranged by his cousin and knows the relationship between the Li family and his family, Cao Xiang has already regarded Li Xingyuan as his disciple in his heart, and he sincerely plans for him.

Cao Hao thought for a while and said: "On the road to the imperial examination, half of it depends on oneself to learn, and half depends on luck. Although the number of fortunes is important, talent is the foundation. If Li Xingyuan is really not brilliant in schoolwork, and the road to literature is difficult, you can try martial arts. ”

Cao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

There are three martial arts exams, the first two are bow and horse skills, and the third is a strategy test.

The topic comes from the three military books of "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi" and "Sima Fa", and the topic is only from the "Analects" and "Mencius", which is much better than the Wenju.

As long as you are not stupid and hard-working, you can always make two decent strategies after three or two years of hard training.

But he is a Wen Jinshi, the first disciple of his disciples, but he wants to take the road of martial arts, and Cao Xiang's expression is a little weird.

Seeing this, Cao Hao said with a lot of guilt: "It's mine, it's really not good to retreat over there, but it's troublesome for the fourth brother." ”

Cao Xiang hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't bother, Li Wei not only has an old relationship with the eldest brother, but also takes care of the second brother more in the south, I can do my best, only happy." It's just that the eldest brother knows me, and the two books of "Analects" and "Mencius" are still understood, but the three books of "Sun Tzu" are a little rusty. The literati's knowledge is not the same as that of the martial arts, and I am afraid that the interpretation will be biased, but it will delay Li Xingyuan. ”

Cao Hao didn't think of this before, he only thought that Cao Xiang's knowledge was good, but he forgot that the ruler was short and long.

"Yongqing is a martial artist, riding and archery kung fu, and the military book is a strategy, so you can ask him to teach." Cao Hao's eyes lit up and he said.

Cao Xiang nodded hurriedly and said: "This is very good, since Li Wei entrusted his son to him, it is good for him to become a talent." ”

After saying this, Cao Hao remembered that Cao Xiang sent the Li family south next spring.

Cao Xiang has already made a report at the Hanlin Academy, and will take three months of personal leave from February next year.

"I forgot about this stubble, one goes south, the other goes north, and the two of you teachers and students are just staggered," Cao Hao said.

Cao Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "If Li Wei is not in a hurry, he can let Li Xingyuan enter Beijing with us a few months later, and it is more logical to accept disciples in this way." ”

Cao Hao thought about it, this is indeed the truth, and he also felt that this arrangement was the best.

He summoned Zhang Yi over, and with two such instructions, he went to Li's house to deliver the message......* As the officials of the court and the governor left Beijing one after another, the festive atmosphere of the Wanshou Festival gradually dissipated.

The eyes of the princes and ministers of the capital were drawn to Prince Yi's mansion.

The emperor gave a plaque to Prince Yi's mansion, with the words "loyalty, honesty, diligence and prudence, and honesty".

"Loyalty, sincerity, diligence and honesty" are all the reputation of being a minister, and now they are gathered in Prince Yi.

Although there are many people with red eyes, no one can say two words of contradiction, and the four words Prince Yi are indeed well-deserved.

The emperor has long had the heart of Prince Yi's mansion, and Prince Yi's eldest son has been crowned Baylor, and his eldest son has also become a Ding.

According to the rules of the clan, most of the eldest sons of the prince are not invited to be crowned princes until they reach the age of 20, but after the emperor lost his sons one after another this year, he intended to register Hongtun as the prince in advance, which can also be regarded as the joy of the palace.

Hongjun was sick and weak, which was not conducive to the inheritance of the royal family's blood heirs, and he had already given up his position in front of his parents.

After Yongzheng knew, he had the heart to add the title of the king of the thirteen elder brothers, so that he could refer to a son to inherit it. After all, although he folded two sons-in-law, there are still three sons-in-law who stand down, and only one son can inherit the prince's title, and the other two can only be crowned princes according to the rule.

The thirteenth elder brother insisted on refusing to give it, but Yongzheng couldn't, so he had to add another 10,000 taels of silver to the prince of the thirteenth elder brother.

It has been added so far, but for a few months, and now it has been given a plaque, which can be added to the glory of the saints.

Unexpectedly, the imperial plaque is not the supreme grace, along with the plaque, and the grace, the court will set up a prince's chair, so that Prince Yi can sit and listen to the government.

In such a grand way, it was not the civil and military officials who were alarmed, but the princes of the clan.

Even the sixteenth elder brother couldn't help but take the opportunity to find Cao Hao, and said two sour words: "Although I can't work as hard as the thirteenth brother, I can also serve as the two internal affairs offices of the Zongren Mansion, and I am also so busy that I hit the back of the head, see how much I have lost?" is also a prince and a brother, why did he set up a chair? ”

It's not the thirteenth elder brother of the eye, but people's hearts are not outnumbered and uneven.

Cao Hao only felt heavy in his heart, and was silent for a while, and said: "The thirteenth master's chronic illness is afraid of recurrence, and he can't hold on to standing in the court for a long time, which is most likely because the emperor has set up a seat in front of the emperor." ”

"What?" The sixteenth elder brother was shocked: "If that's the case, why hasn't the case file of the Tai Hospital been reported?" ”

Cao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "There is a Tai Doctor resident in the palace, why do you need to report to the Tai Hospital?" What will happen if the news of the recurrence of the thirteenth master's illness spreads? The Thirteenth Master has concealed people, and he has the intentions of the Thirteenth Master, but where can he hide it from the emperor......"
