Chapter 1310: Out of Control
is really sick, even if Cao Hao feels that her body is really fine, but this typhoid fever can completely make her lie down in the past half a month, there have been several major events in the officialdom of the capital.
The first is that the Taihe Palace tests the world's martial arts, and the second is that the old minister Tian Congdian died of illness and good hometown in the second time after leaving Beijing, and the third thing is that the emperor has a decree, and the flag officer is released as an official, and he is not allowed to bring children over 18 years old to accompany him; The current recumbent will withdraw the flag.
Poor and rich in martial arts, the way of martial arts has always been the road to the advancement of the children of the Eight Banners.
The Han people were among the Wu Jinshi, but they just went to the local area to be a thousand presidents; If the children of the Manchu and Mongolian and Han armies are in the Wujin Warriors, those who go up to the three flags can enter the guards, and those who go down the five flags can also enter the guard barracks and pioneer camps as errands.
Therefore, there are a lot of people who pay attention to it, if not more than Wenju.
Unexpectedly, when the Wujinshi came out, the emperor changed the rules of the past years, although the Wujinshi of the Three Banners still entered the guards, it can be used as an excuse for lack of experience, but the Lanling guards began to practice.
Make up the first, second and third class guards, which are third, fourth, and fifth grades, and have the opportunity to enter the inner class and be on duty; Lan Ling is only a sixth grade, and she is not in the inner class.
The impact on the future of the Manchu and Mongolian warriors is not a star.
At this moment, it is not a family or two families that are affected, but no one dares to go up to the fold to question Yongzheng anything, but it is rare to be dissatisfied in private.
And Tian Congdian gave a banquet and a couplet, and then when he left Beijing, there were also hundreds of officials to send him, what a scenery.
Who would have thought that this is just two days of scenery, less than 100 miles out of Beijing, and the boss will die.
On the emperor's side, he sent a cabinet bachelor and a bachelor to Liangxiang for his funeral, and the ministers and guards laid tea and wine, and gave sacrifices and funerals.
In this way, Tian Congdian can also be regarded as a posthumous mourner.
But Mourning is Mourning after all, and the Han ministers who secretly sigh are not one or two.
The flag clerk is okay, he is still in Beijing to retire after Zhishi, and there is no need to return to his hometown thousands of miles; Even if the minister of Han is an official residence, there will be a time when the leaves will return to their roots.
If Tian Congdian didn't say goodbye to the old man in winter, if the emperor didn't immediately approve the old man's excerpt, and ordered a banquet to see him off, would the old man go so early?
Although in terms of age, the old man is seventy-seven, but even before the official can still handle government affairs in the government office, he can still listen to errands in front of the emperor, which shows that his health is not bad.
That's what I said.
Even if it is Zhishi, when he returns to his hometown slowly in March, he will not have this result.
Flag officers are not allowed to bring their children over the age of 18 to their posts, which has also caused many people to slander themselves.
It is not uncommon to bring the children of family members to work.
Whether it is a parent or a child, a nephew, or a family nephew, they are all people trusted by officials. Sometimes, when it is inconvenient for officials to come forward, their sons and nephews can come forward on their behalf, and even if there is anything inappropriate, it is just a sentence of lax discipline.
These officialdoms are tired, and who doesn't know.
The emperor's move, in the name of grace, let the children of officials over the age of 18 stay in Beijing on errands, which also cut off a financial route for the flag officers.
In addition, those who think that the emperor is far away and are powerful in the local area must also weigh and weigh, and if they want to stretch out their hands again, there is no "young and ignorant" and "young and frivolous" to be a shield for them.
These three things are in a row, and it seems that they are becoming more and more practical in the name of Yongzheng's "kindness and affection".
For the Cao family, these three things have little impact.
Whether it is Yongzheng's reform of the rules for Wujin soldiers to enter the guard office, or the prohibition of flag officers from bringing adult children to their posts, Cao Hao is in favor of it.
Martial arts, like liberal arts, are all exams every three years, and among the martial artists on the list, although the proportion of the three banners is not large, it is not one or two.
Then, there is a quota for the guards in the guards.
If you go in, you have to release one.
In order to make way for these new recruits, the old guards had to be released.
Most of the partial guards are not very old, their grades are high, and they have to be promoted to one pole when they are released, and the official vacancies that can be selected are limited, and there will be a series of changes when one person is transferred.
For the emperor, those meritorious children are on duty in front of the emperor, which has more benefits than the children of Wujinshi who are on duty in front of the emperor, and it is easier to win over and balance the surname of the Eight Banners.
Tian Congdian died of illness, and Cao Hao couldn't help but sigh twice.
I really don't know how to say that these ministers are good, maybe it is because of ten years of hard study, and thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination, and it is not easy to make a name for themselves, which makes them more and more unable to distribute.
Look at those Manchurian scholars, except for those who are university scholars and are not easy to tell the old, most of the other scholars and servants began to serve after sixty, and if they really got the Sacred Heart, they would stay for a few years; If the saint is ordinary, go home and retire leisurely.
Although Shimoda Congdian is now at the same level as him, after all, he has been his boss, and having this relationship in the officialdom is deeper than that of others.
It's just that when Tian Congdian died of illness, it was the most serious time of Cao Hao's illness, and he couldn't afford to pay tribute in person, so he asked Cao Xiang to hang the sacrifice himself.
Cao Xiang was the bachelor who was ordered to take care of Tian Congdian's aftermath, and was ordered to go to Liangxiang to take care of Tian Congdian's aftermath.
Tian Congdian's eldest son is deceased, and he only has a weak crown and young son by his side, so he can't preside over such a big event.
Cao Xiang stayed in Liangxiang for five days, and after Tian Congdian's "first seven", the coffin returned to his hometown before returning to Beijing to resume his life.
At this time, Cao Hao has been recuperating for several days, and his spirit has improved a lot.
After Cao Xiang came over, Cao Hao had to ask about Tian Congdian's aftermath.
"Big brother, I've seen it, what is a person walking tea and cooling. Liangxiang and the capital are only sixty miles, even if I can't get there, it doesn't take much to send my son, nephew and servant to sacrifice on my behalf. But even so, there were very few people who offered sacrifices. is still the eldest brother kind, even if he doesn't have much contact with Tian Congdian, and he is sick, he still doesn't forget the matter of hanging sacrifices. Cao Xiang sighed.
Cao Hao was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Lord Tian's future affairs are cold?" ”
After all, in this era, the world attaches more importance to white things and pays more attention to red things, and Tian Congdian is still at the original level of the official department, and the good hometown is close to the capital, so it shouldn't be too lonely.
Cao Xiang has been in officialdom for many years, and he is no longer called Amun.
Seeing that his cousin couldn't think of the reason for a while, Cao Xiang said: "If you are like other adults, you won't be so lonely." Tian Congdian is not only surnamed Geng, but he rarely has knowledge and contacts in the officialdom, and more importantly, his children and grandchildren are withering, the eldest son has no heirs and dies, and the youngest son is only a teenager and has no fame...... Tian Congdian is gone, and the Tian family has no follow-up in the officialdom, where are those people willing to bother, save this penny, and eat two more meals of wine......"
Cao Hao listened, where did he not understand, but he really had nothing to say.
There are many utilitarian people in the world, and he Cao Hao is no exception, but what he seeks is not the interests of officialdom, but something else.
He asked his cousin to hang the sacrifice on his behalf, just thinking that he would not be rude and not violate his name of "generosity".
Compared with those ministers of ministries who are not even willing to be perfunctory, his obscure selfishness is not noble.
Seeing that his cousin was in a depressed mood, Cao Xiang thought it was because Tian Congdian was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not as serious as I said, although there are not many people in the capital who used to pay tribute, but the magistrates have arrived." The emperor has a grace to come down, and when Lord Tian's coffin arrives in Shanxi, he will not be lazy over there, and there will always be a beautiful funeral. ”
Cao Hao knew that his cousin had misunderstood, but he didn't explain, he just nodded and said, "That's very good......"
After Laba, Cao Hao's illness recurred, and his originally improved spirit also withered.
But as Imperial Physician Chen said, his body was too bad back then, and this time typhoid fever induced a lot of symptoms, the most obvious is the beginning of coughing, which is left three hundred years later, but pneumonia caused by a cold, and it is not a serious illness; But at that time, in the words of the imperial doctor, it was a "tuberculosis", which was a terrible serious disease.
In this way, it is more and more confirmed that Cao Hao's body is "sick and weak".
Chu Yu's eyes were even more red, and he waited untied; The Li family had already eaten a long fast and donated sesame oil money to several temples.
Several children are also worried, Hengsheng and Zuozhu brothers come to report every day, and even the pregnant Niuniu came back twice.
All the people revolved around Cao Hao.
There is even more to say outside, and some people have even vaguely mentioned when the Hubu Shangshu will be vacant.
Cao Hao had pneumonia in his later life, and he didn't take it seriously at first, and he never forgot to comfort his family.
It can be seen that everyone is enduring pain and sadness, and Cao Hao's mood is gradually infected and becomes irritable.
This is not the twenty-first world, if you have a cold or pneumonia, you can get better with an infusion for a few days; This was 300 years ago, when colds and pneumonia were all major symptoms.
Could it be that once I was reborn, I worked hard for 20 years, and then I hung up when I got a cold?
He has always lacked a sense of security, and in order to live well, he worked hard, but he didn't expect that the monarchy and political tilting did not damage him by half a point, but he was tossed to death by a cold.
Cao Hao's heart was in turmoil, and his mood became agitated.
Seeing his wife and children around him, he also felt annoyed and threw them all out of the house.
Although Chu Yu and Tianyou were worried about Cao Hao, they didn't dare to go against his will, for fear that they would be angry with him at this time.
But he stayed alone in an unstable mood, and the mother and son were not at ease.
After thinking about it, Chu Yu instructed his son to invite the sixteenth elder brother over.
The sixteenth elder brother came yesterday, and after listening to Tianyou's words, he didn't delay at all, and came directly with him.
Cao Hao sat on the kang, his eyes straight, and his mind was wandering.
He is only in his thirties, and he has never enjoyed the retirement of raising flowers and birds, and if he leaves like this, he is really unwilling.
He didn't know if he regretted it, why did he covet the power of the Cao family and take the road of officialdom, if he wanted to open up a little longer and go abroad early, would his health be guaranteed?
and the sword he blocked for Kangxi back then, how much sincerity and calculation did he have?
He is used to pretending to be "pure and good", and he has to believe that he is good, but in fact, he has a lot of blood on his hands over the years.
If there is a cause and effect in the world, how can he have a good death?
The Li family still has Changsheng, Chu Yu still has children, Tianyou and Hengsheng have wives to help, Tianhui and Tianbao have brothers to rely on, and none of them seem to be inseparable from him......
