"The commissions are all ...... with red flags," Fu Peng muttered in a low voice, only to feel bitter in his mouth.

Even without this commission, Fu Peng now takes care of the red flag for his father Nersu, and now he has an official position, which seems to be more "justifiable", but he doesn't even need to top the name of Nersu.

For the emperor's intentions, Hongli knew well, although there was some slander in his heart, it was difficult to say it, so he only comforted: "From the errand you are familiar with, it is also the emperor who loves you." ”

"Hmm. The nephew knows that it is all the emperor's compassion. Fu Peng arched his hand at the Heart Cultivation Palace, and said with gratitude.

Hongli saw that he didn't have a mustard color, and nodded with satisfaction.

Hongtian picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes, and took a sip......* Until he left the palace, Fu Peng's face was full of joy.

After returning to Prince Ping's mansion, he instructed the butler to reward the long-term entourage and guards who followed him.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, after the canonization of the prince's son, he can read the power to open the mansion, and the specifications of the mansion are between the prince's mansion and the county prince's mansion.

After Fu Peng canonized the prince, the Nersu couple left Beijing, so he still lived in the palace, and the internal affairs office did not arrange the prince's mansion.

Because Cao Jia's family returned to Beijing, the ladies who were friends with the clan came to the door one after another. Before Fu Peng came back, the prince Fu Jin Fei Mo had just sent the guests out of the house, and he had not changed into the clothes for the guests.

Seeing that Fu Peng returned home with joy on his face, Fei Mo hurriedly got up to greet him.

Fuppon entered the door, and the smile on his face froze a little.

Fei Moshi was surprised and inexplicable, and said suspiciously: "Master ......"

Fu Peng rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "E-Niang is okay today?" ”

"Good. I just looked at Eniang's meaning, I was afraid that I would not worry about Shengjing's side, and I would go back early in two days. Ferrois replied.

Fu Peng nodded: "Xu is not worried about Ama and Fu Duan, the fourth brother and sister are young in the end." Speaking of this, he paused: "Shengjing is good at everything, and there is no shortage of dry goods in the north and south, but there is a shortage of fresh vegetables in the south." E-Niang has always had a light diet, and these days you make people pay attention to it, and gather all the fine vegetables and fruits from the south on the market, and bring them to E-Niang. ”

Fei Moshi responded carefully, and Fu Peng turned around and went out to see Cao Jiashi.

Cao Jiashi was a little tired because he had received guests for most of the day, and he was crooked on the kang and listened to Tianhui.

Hearing that Fu Peng was coming, Tianhui hurriedly got down from the kang and retreated to Cao Jia's side.

Fu Peng came in, and when he didn't see Fei Mo's, Tianhui bent his knees to see it, whispered to Cao Jia's and withdrew.

Cao Jiashi glanced at his son twice, then his heart sank, and he waved his hand to send the maid down.

She sat up and asked, "But what did the emperor say about our palace?" ”

Fu Peng sat on the chair by the kang and replied: "My son didn't see the emperor, but I heard what the fourth master said, and the emperor officially arranged an errand for his son...... The commission is inlaid with red flags and ......"

Cao Jiashi couldn't help but be stunned, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "I really let your uncle say it......"

* Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Flower Hall.

Except for a few plates on the table, there was a basket of red crabs.

In front of the sixteenth elder brother, a bunch of crab shells have already been eaten. He wiped his hands with wet wipes, slipped out a warm pot of rice wine, poured himself a cup, and drank it all.

Cao Hao sat in front of the sixteenth elder brother, and even ate a few yellow female crabs before putting down eight crabs.

If it is said to be a crab feast, it is too simple, but it is just in time for the local tribute crabs to arrive.

Local tribute, in addition to worshipping the master of the palace, also has regulations in each royal palace.

The sixteenth elder brother knew that Cao Hao liked to eat crabs, so he invited Cao Hao over.

Although there are also river crabs on Cao's Zhuangzi, where can it compare to the lake crabs from the south, Cao Hao eats very comfortably.

After the little servant withdrew the table, the two of them ate tea on the kang.

I just ate the crab, which was a little greasy, and drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and Cao Hao's face was ironed.

Seeing this, the sixteenth elder brother shook his head hatefully: "It's really going back the longer you go, I saw that you were still a successful person in the early years, but in the past two years, you have become more and more unproductive, and now you are going to become a foodie." ”

Cao Hao put down the teacup and looked at the sixteenth elder brother curiously: "What do you say, Sixteenth Master, although I don't have a supreme minister, I am also a second-grade Jingtang." Stay up for one or two terms, move it up, and be the best in the official book. Although the officials are in a high position, the officials are more worry-free than the household books. If you can go late, you can go a few years later, and if you can't go, it's good to go directly to the head of the household book. ”

The sixteenth elder brother was dumbfounded when he heard this, and pointed at Cao Hao and said, "How old are you, you thought of Zhishi?" ”

The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming law, and the civil officials were sixty officials.

However, the law is the law, which is valid for middle and low-level officials, and for the senior officials above the third rank, how many sixty are there?

The higher the position, the more you can't let go of your power, and the later your age will be.

Cao Hao is only thirty-four this year, in the prime of life, and has a bright future.

Cao Hao said leisurely: "I have also reached the age where I can call myself an 'old man', what's wrong with thinking of Zhishi?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother frowned and said, "What is this called, you never thought of being a supreme minister and worshipping the prime minister?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Hao smiled and shook his head.

Why didn't he think about it?

Because of the Ming law, the Qing Dynasty officialdom also followed the rules of "non-jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet", but the rules are dead, people are alive, and the most important thing in the officialdom is the exception.

If you are not born in the imperial examination, you can give "Jinshi background"; It's not Hanlin, it's just going to Hanlin Academy and going through the motions.

There are four university scholars, and now they are Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu, Xiao Yongzao, and Xu Yuanmeng.

Among them, only Zhang Tingyu and Xu Yuanmeng are from Jinshi, Ma Qi is from Yinsheng and Xiaoshao, and Xiao Yongzao is from a pen post.

But in the past two years, Cao Hao has changed his mind.

Scholars are nobles, but if they don't make mistakes, most of them will die in office. If you want to be sixty Zhishi, that's a dream; Even if he wants to retire from illness in his seventies, it depends on whether the emperor is willing to release him.

Since the beginning of the Shunzhi Dynasty, half of them have been in the university ranks, and half of them have died in the university scholars; The remaining half is really boiled until seventy or eighty, and the deaf and dazzling emperor only released people to "retire from illness", and the rest are dismissed for crimes.

After all, the scholar is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he accompanies the king like a tiger.

It cannot be denied that the emergence of a university scholar in the family is a benefit for the family for several generations.

Since Cao Xiang entered Hanlin, Cao Hao's desire to enter the cabinet has faded.

He pinched his fingers and calculated, if there were no major changes in history, it would be best for him to come down when Qianlong ascended the throne.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, he knew his own interests, and the younger generation was also close to Qianlong, which was very good.

The sixteenth elder brother couldn't see Cao Hao's lazy appearance, and snorted coldly: "Apart from the master, who else can worry for you?" At the end of the year, the officials of the military department have been transferred, but the emperor plans to recommend you. ”

Cao Hao laughed twice and said, "Could it be that I offended the Sixteenth Master?" The military department is arranged, but after the household department is arranged? ”

The sixteenth elder brother glared at him and said, "Don't pretend to be confused with the master!" There are thirteen brothers and Zhang Tingyu pressing on the top of the household, the pattern has been decided, even if you are tired and vomit blood, you will not be able to show your merits. Although the military department is behind the household department, the northwest is not very peaceful, and the military department will be put to great use. ”

Saying this, he really planned for Cao Hao from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Hao was grateful in his heart, and his face also added solemnity: "The sixteenth master is good for me, I know this." But how many catties and taels do I have, and the sixteenth master still doesn't know? The secretary of the military department always wants to know the military affairs, where can I be able to sit in that position? ”

The sixteenth elder brother said in a low voice: "In the past few years, you haven't seen the emperor's temper and surname?" Could it be that when the military incident in the northwest started, the emperor could really let the secretary of the military department arrange a military meeting? What the secretary of the military department can do is only the salary of the soldiers, and there is not much difference between the errand of the household department. You are also too sincere, Jingli is well-informed, who doesn't want to borrow the light of the northwest, only you don't move like a mountain. ”

Cao Hao touched his chin awkwardly and said, "I also have selfish intentions, and I have already sent someone to Jiangning." ”

The sixteenth elder brother sneered and said, "The eyelids are shallow, the pattern is too small, isn't it!" Even if Cao Song is put in the Northwest Army, his identity and qualifications are not ranked, but he is just a full number, and if he wants to make some credit, he has to look at luck. With luck, you have to be real and hard, and you have to fight for your life to earn credit. With merit, how much merit can fall on his head depends on the conscience of the people above. In the middle, how many variables, even if you want to take care of it, you can't use your strength. Where is your comfort in Beijing, sitting firmly in Diaoyutai? ”

Cao Hao listened to it and couldn't help but be moved.

On the position of the secretary of the military department, what he is most afraid of is the grain and grass ripping the skin, but now that the household department has silver, and the emperor above is disgusted with the officials reaching out, this military department secretary is much easier to sit up.

But if you really want to make achievements in the military department, it is one step closer to entering the cabinet, Cao Hao hesitated.

The sixteenth elder brother sighed and said, "There is still a period of time left and right, you can think about it yourself." You have to want it, with the emperor's surname, if I want to use you, I can't allow you to pick a child......"

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Well, I'll think about it carefully......"

When I returned to Caofu, it was already dark.

Autumn in the capital is getting stronger, and there are falling leaves on the road.

Cao Hao was riding on a horse and saw a fallen leaf hovering and falling onto the horse's mane. He picked up the fallen leaves, inexplicably a little sentimental.

If Yongzheng had been in power for a long time, the arrangement of the sixteenth elder brother would be more stable than Cao Hao's plan: how could he be swayed by manpower if he could be born, old, sick and die?

Yongzheng must bow down to everything, and the thirteenth elder brother is tired and tired, it seems that all his previous small actions have no effect.

But when it comes to the life span of Emperor Jiankang, even if he is close to Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother, it can't be mentioned...... When he returned home, Cao Hao heard a message.

Cao Jiashi sent someone over, and decided to leave for Shengjing in the future, and asked Cao Hao and his wife to go over and take Tianhui back by the way.

"Why are you in such a hurry, didn't you say before you would have to rest for a few days before going back?" Cao Hao was a little puzzled.

Chu Yu said: "Don't worry about the seventh elder brother, the seventh elder brother is still young...... If you bring the seventh elder brother back, maybe you can stay a little longer with peace of mind......"
