Chapter 1173: Zhang Mu (Tears Running for a Monthly Pass)
Shengjing, Prince Ping's Mansion.
Cao Jiashi sent the two internal stewards sent by his mother to ask for peace, picked up Cao Hao's family letter, and read it.
In the letter, Cao Hao once again politely rejected the family affair between the two families and said his scruples again. If the blood is too close, it will hinder the heirs.
Tianhui is a precedent, in the years when Tianhui was blind, he and Chu Yu were so worried.
Because among the lords of the clan in the capital, there are many people who are married to their cousins. Cao Hao picked out a few children who were incomplete, and gave an example to prove that his remarks were not groundless, but indeed confirmed by the West, which was shocking to watch.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if you don't marry with the same surname, you won't be born", but it is also due to blood. The middle cousins within three generations are closer in blood than the clansmen.
If this were not the case, the "Da Ming Law" and "Da Qing Law" would not explicitly prohibit middle cousins.
Although Cao Jiashi was a little unhappy in his heart, he saw that his younger brother did not look down on his son, but out of love for his children, so he was not resentful.
She looked at the gift list, but it was rice, flour, grain and oil, all kinds of complicated, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.
Many of these are what she is used to, presumably because her younger brother and sister-in-law are afraid that their life outside the customs is not cheap, so they pay so much attention.
But it is also a heart.
After reading Cao Hao's letter, Cao Jiashi looked at Tianhui's letter again.
Her love for Tianhui, a niece, is no less than that of her own four sons. In addition to being a niece, flesh and blood, there is also fifty percent empathy, and a love for a daughter is placed on this niece.
Tianhui's words were taught by Cao Jia's hand, which is very similar to Cao Jia's words.
The letter was very long, three or four pages long, and in addition to greeting him, there were many interesting things about the Governor's Palace.
Along with the letter, there was also a bag of things sewn by Tianhui herself. A pair of collars, a homely garment. The collar and cuffs of the shirt are all delicately beaded.
Ordinary people don't have such an embroidery method.
It was Cao Jiashi who was afraid that she would use silk thread to bother her eyes after Tianhui began to learn needlework. I also know that Tianhui has a high spirit, even if it is not perfect, I must do it to my satisfaction before letting go. So she found two boxes of rice beads, as well as some small gems, small jade, etc., all of which were perforated and used for Tianhui to embroider.
In this way, it can be the icing on the cake for the work done, and it can also reduce the number of embroidery stitches.
Over the past few years, Tianhui has developed a good craft. With a minimum of colors, beads embroider elegant and generous work.
Cao Jiashi rubbed his clothes, and saw that it was his favorite color, the flower color on it was matched with magnolia, and the magnolia stamen was made of small pink pearls, which was delicate and lovely, and he was more and more satisfied.
Thinking that her baby niece was already in the age of cardamom, and there was always a chance to get married, she couldn't help but sigh.
Just as Nalsoda strode in from outside, he sighed when he saw her, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Cao Jiashi got up and sat down, and said, "Master, after a while, would it be good for someone to take Tianhui over?" The younger siblings have to wait for their mother and take care of the family below, so they don't have much time to teach Tianhui well......"
Nersu thought for a while and said, "Let's wait a little longer, if it is not bad as expected, Brother Hao will be transferred back to Beijing before the end of the year." If that's the case, Brother and Sister may have to start talking to God to bless their brothers and sisters, and it's not good to leave the capital lightly......"
Cao Jiashi nodded and said, "Then wait a little longer, if Brother Hao doesn't return to Beijing, I will send someone to pick up ......."
Seeing that her husband was in a good mood, Cao Jiashi personally served tea and said with a smile: "Look at the appearance of the master, what have you gained a lot today?" ”
Nersu smiled "haha" and said, "I have hit several wild ducks and a few quails, and they have been sent to the kitchen, so I will add vegetables tonight." Speaking of this, he was a little proud, and said: "Fu Nai was defeated by the master again, and he was still alive and dead, and the duck had a hard mouth, saying that he had always been used to hunting beasts." I have to wait for the summer, and then I will try to compete with my grandfather. ”
Spring is the breeding season of animals, and everyone agrees that in summer, they begin to hunt animals in large numbers. In the spring, hunting is mostly waterfowl.
Cao Jiashi saw that her husband was in a good mood and said, "Master's kung fu is naturally a dozen." When the summer comes, you'll be able to convince him......"
The house was bright and bright, and there was laughter in the house.
The two maids in the waiter outside the door both pursed their lips and smiled. The mood of the masters is getting better, and this Shengjing Royal Mansion is getting hotter and hotter...... * Qingyuan, the official residence.
After reading the fold in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said to Song Hou: "This is too outrageous, if you don't know Tang Zhiyu, after reading this fold, you can only think that he is a huge greed of the country who deceives his superiors and subordinates." ”
Song Hou touched his beard and said, "It's been written, I'm not afraid of such an excerpt." Tang Zhiyu has been a Beijing official for more than ten years, and he also has some reputation. The most headache is such an excerpt...... "As he spoke, he picked out one of the half-foot-high excerpts next to him and gave it to Cao Hao.
Cao Hao opened it and looked at it, it was also an excerpt of the impeachment of Tang Zhiyu by the imperial history, this is not so exaggerated, it is a little detailed.
The above mentioned Tang Zhiyu's family supporting a widowed aunt, but the language was vague and the words were pretentious. Originally, Tang Zhiyu supported his widowed aunt, but he became a bad heart; From raising a few cousins, to taking over the inheritance left by his uncle.
From the age of the widow and aunt when they were widowed, to the number of acres of land and houses handed down by the ancestors of the Tang family, they are all listed above.
Seeing this, Cao Hao's face immediately changed.
This is really a thief's bite, and it is three points into the eye.
Even if it can be confirmed in the end that this excerpt is nothing, Tang Zhiyu's personality will be questioned.
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention that the hot topic of "Aunt Annihilation" appeared again in Tang Zhiyu, who has always had a clear name, and it will become a joke after tea and dinner for the powerful in the capital.
"What kind of world, what a good person has no way to live!" Cao Hao and Tang Zhiyu have known each other for more than ten years, and they also know a lot about Tang's family affairs, so they can't help but complain to Song Hou: "Now that Tang Zhiyu is promoted, several cousins are also sincere, and the son is better." In the early years, when several of his cousins failed to pass the examination, the whole family had to be supported by him alone. said that the son had a difficult life, and the wife and daughter had to take care of the housework themselves. After working hard for many years, I finally confessed my cousins. This was supposed to be a beautiful conversation, but it was used by this villain to splash dirty water, which is really annoying. ”
Song Hou touched his beard and said: "The official warehouse has always been widely implicated, even the adults are tied, and they set up a permanent closing position, and do not move the official warehouse, which is dangerous, which can be seen." Lord Tang used thunderbolt tactics to thoroughly investigate the official warehouse and lead people to attack, which was also expected. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so menacing. The adults still have to make plans early, although Lord Tang has a good official reputation, he has never been a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is not known to the Son of Heaven. At this juncture, when the emperor saw these excerpts of impeachment, he would probably understand that it was not easy for Lord Tang and reject these excerpts. But the three of them became tigers, and after listening to it too much, even if they wouldn't stop Lord Tang at this time, they would dislike Lord Tang's conduct in their hearts. In that case, Lord Tang's future will be stopped by the political envoy. ”
Although Tang Zhiyu has been a political envoy, he is not a party or a group.
These people dared to flock to him, and even did not hesitate to slander him, but they also deceived him and had no backing.
Tang Zhiyu did all the work of being scolded for his efforts, and Cao Hao, the boss, always had to take some responsibility.
It's just that Qingyuan is nearly three hundred miles away from the capital after all, and Cao Hao wants to open his eyes for Tang Zhiyu, so he has to think about it.
After all, the two places are three hundred miles apart, and he doesn't want to seem to be too well-informed.
After thinking about it again and again, he didn't know what to do about the imperial history of the capital to attack Tang Zhiyu for the time being, and only mentioned one sentence in the excerpt to Yongzheng.
Last year, only three or four tenths of the incorruptible silver of the Zhili Domain's treasury was used, and the rest was whether to send half of it to Beijing to enrich the military salary in the northwest.
In the next invitation, Cao Hao mentioned some of the shortcomings found by the political envoy to thoroughly investigate the local officials.
In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, when the emperor ordered the inventory of Tongzhou Jingcang, Cao Hao and Yongzheng were both participants.
Cao Hao used Jingcang as a comparison, and used data to show the shortcomings of Guancang on paper.
After two excerpts, the news of Tang Zhiyu's impeachment has spread from the capital and spread throughout the officialdom of Zhili.
Subsequently, Cao Hao immediately wrote a thick fold and "pleaded guilty" to Yongzheng.
Tang Zhiyu is conscientious and conscientious, loves the people like a son, and can be described as a capable official. However, because of the reduction of the share of the incorruptible silver and the liquidation of the official warehouse, he offended his colleagues and was treated like this.
Cao Hao, as the governor, could not suppress the officialdom of Zhili, which made Tang Zhiyu excluded and attacked, and as a top peak, he was really unqualified.
At the end of the excerpt, Cao Hao expressed his indignation at the rumors that Tang Zhiyu "occupied" his uncle's family wealth.
He mentioned that he had been an official with Tang Zhiyu more than ten years ago, and he also knew a little about Tang Zhiyu's poverty and the old things about supporting his widow and raising his cousin.
Song Hou looked at this excerpt and admonished: "Your Excellency still needs to think about it, although this excerpt, although it can clear up the grievances of Lord Tang in front of the emperor, it is also easy to cause criticism. ”
Cao Hao listened and understood what Song Hou was referring to.
It's just that the governor is in harmony with the governor, and he is not in harmony with the governor.
For local officials, they hope that the superintendent and the governor will be in harmony and save "the gods from fighting and harming mortals".
In the eyes of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, to control the world, it is necessary to pay attention to the balance of power everywhere, and do not want to see the courtiers monopolize power.
Cao Hao supervised the body, and Tang Zhiyu, the political envoy, became the first civil official under the governor.
Although the two are superiors and subordinates, in Yongzheng's eyes, he must also hope that the two will be contained.
Cao Hao's colleague who defended Tang Zhiyu also destroyed the situation in which the two were restrained from each other.
Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this governor always can't do it for long, if he can get out of it through his son, it can be regarded as a good start and a good end." ”
In the face of a suspicious emperor like Yongzheng, if Cao Hao behaves in all aspects, he may be suspicious.
Now this excerpt for Tang Zhiyu is full of righteous indignation and a little hasty, although it is a little out of line with the rules of officialdom, but it is not a big problem. On the contrary, it seems that Cao Hao is not bold enough and attaches too much importance to human affection, so he acts frizzy.
These problems are all inherent in Cao Hao; If you talk about it in front of Yongzheng, it won't have any effect......
