In addition to the darkness of the sky, it is the sudden drop in temperature. Cao Hao felt a layer of goosebumps on his arm in an instant.

Originally, in the courtyard, several officials who were holding glazed tiles to watch the food also returned to the hall with a little trepidation. Even Yi Duli, who was drunk and hazy, woke up a lot of wine, and helped a familiar internal affairs official to Cao Hao's side.

The darkness and silence make time long, and in fact, in the blink of an eye, light begins to grow.

In less than half a cup of tea, the food has ended, and the sun is still shining, and the sun is blazing.

Everyone woke up from a big dream, no matter what they thought in their hearts, their faces were very calm, and they said goodbye to Cao Hao and left.

Only a slightly hurried footstep revealed their panic.

Yi Duli had already found a chair to sit down, and when Cao Hao finished sending off the guests, he was already in the middle of a sweet dream.

No one was in the mood to drink the second one, and the sixteenth elder brother felt uneasy, and said to Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo, let's do it today, I'll go back first......"

Cao Hao knew that he was worried about Kangxi, so he didn't stop him and sent him out of the house.

According to the usual practice of every meal, it is necessary to "collect responsibility" on the excerpts of scholars or six books, and I don't know which old minister has the honor to "share worries" for the emperor this time.

Cao Hao returned to the hall and looked at Yi Duli, who was sleeping heavily, and couldn't ask him to sleep in the chair all the time, so he asked the two little servants to help him to the guest room to rest.

At this time, I saw Fu Peng coming over with Arslen. Alslene is okay, he is still a tiger's head, and it seems that he has not been bluffed by Fang Cai's food; Fu Peng's face was pale, very different from the young man he had seen earlier.

"Uncle, it's a whole food...... Northwest ...... "Rao is steady, but he is only a fourteen-year-old child, and he still feels a little frightened when he thinks of his father who is far away in the northwest."

Seeing him like this, Cao Hao was a little surprised.

After thinking about it, the Western astronomical calendar is not the main lesson in the study, even the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, and they mostly know a little bit through books.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao beckoned, called Fu Peng and Al Slen to sit down, and gave their cousins a simple lesson related to food.

"This eclipse occurs every year and is caused by the intersection of the moon and the sun. What we saw just now is not what the people call 'Tengu swallowing the sun', nor is it born out of phase, but the moon covers the ......sun," Cao Hao concluded.

Fu Peng still thought carefully, but Alslen was full of confusion, and said: "Cousin, the sun rises in the day, the moon travels in the night, how can they meet together?" ”

Seeing that he was ignorant, Cao Hao got up and took a tea tray, put it on a few cases, put a teacup not far from the tea tray, and took out a pocket watch and put it on the side of the teacup.

"The teacup is the earth we are waiting for, and this pocket watch is the moon. The earth goes around the earth, and the moon goes around the earth. When the moon reaches between the earth and the sun and obscures the light, it is an eclipse. Cao Hao pointed to a few cases and said.

Arslen seems to understand whether he understands or not, not that he is clumsy, but that he is somewhat confused about the "earth", as well as the sun and moon that can turn. But he didn't say anything more, just looked at Fu Peng, and when he saw his cousin's clear demeanor, he no longer showed timidity, thinking that he would ask his cousin in private later.

Even if Fu Peng didn't know what was going on earlier, he would understand after listening to Cao Hao's explanation, after all, there was a globe in the palace, which had more basic knowledge than Alslen, the little Mongolian prince.

Now, he didn't have to worry about it, but he was a little embarrassed...... Kangxi is sick, although the news in the palace is tight, but the prince and brother in Rehe have all gone to the summer resort to serve the sick, and the atmosphere here in the official office is not right.

Every time the officials of the six departments are going to take shifts in front of the emperor, they start to fight, and Kangxi has stopped the small dynasty.

Every year, with Hu Rehe, everyone regards it as a beauty difference, which is not only decent, but also has the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor. Now, everyone is bitter.

If something really happens to the holy car, then Rehe is a critical place, and who knows what will happen...... Because history has undergone small changes, Cao Hao didn't dare to guarantee that Kangxi would survive until next year, and he was a little uncertain.

Thinking that the eighth elder brother died of illness, the fourteenth elder brother would not be able to come for a while, Nian Qianyao was already sitting in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Long Keduo was the commander of the Nine Gates, so Cao Hao was calm.

To put it mildly, the fourth elder brother is not good at stubble, and the layout has been completed, even if Kangxi has any accidents now, with the fourth elder brother planning for many years, this big position seems to be unable to run.

In this way, Cao Hao did what he should do and what he did, and took advantage of the fact that there were no new errands to send down and take care of the official documents at hand.

Whether it is the household department, or the officials and officials of other yamen, there are many serious people staring at Cao Hao.

There is no other reason, it is because he has good relations with the sixteenth elder brother and is well-informed.

Although Cao Hao didn't say anything, such "calmness" made many people calm down from their restlessness...... Kangxi is indeed sick, but it is not as serious as the outside guesses.

It was only because he was older and more suspicious that he didn't worry about his sons, so he stayed in the palace in the name of "serving the sick".

All of a sudden, several princes took turns to take medicine, and they all looked like "father and son filial piety".

Like the third elder brother, he is even more sure that the imperial father wants to check everyone's "filial piety", and the purpose is naturally to choose the prince...... Since the day when the imperial servant was sick, the third elder brother refused to sleep well, and there were only two meals in front of the person, with a scruffy beard, and his clothes were full of pleats, which was completely the appearance of a filial son in front of the bed.

But he is used to being rich and rich, and after two or three days, he can't stand it. There are a lot of eyes in the palace, and he is not good at finding food, so he slaps his mouth, and drinks milk tea vigorously, no matter when, as soon as he opens his mouth, it smells of milk.

He was so pretentious that he saw the sixteenth elder brother sneering.

In the heart of the sixteenth elder brother, he really looked forward to Kangxi's longevity, although there were several older elder brothers, and it was not his turn to do such a job as serving medicine, but he was not annoyed, and only took advantage of the convenience of the Internal Affairs Office to properly cook the imperial dining room and the imperial tea room.

Although he pretended to be calm on his face, he was in a hurry, and his mouth was already full of blisters.

Although he didn't think about tea and dinner, he didn't dare to be casual, because he knew that he couldn't fall down, whether it was for himself or for his mother.

Every time it was time to eat, the sixteenth elder brother had to pour two bowls of porridge regardless of whether he had an appetite or not.

One drank milk tea when he saw the sky, and the other only drank porridge, and after a few days, the third elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother were all cleared, but compared with the fourth elder brother who became more and more "Dao bone fairy wind", the two of them were not obvious.

Since entering the palace, the fourth elder brother has fasted and fasted vegetarian, and only uses one meal per meal. Not only that, but he also wrote Buddhist scriptures with blood to pray for the well-being of the imperial father.

Even Concubine De, who was not close to this eldest son, couldn't help but be moved when she saw the appearance of the fourth elder brother.

The sixteenth elder brother saw it in his eyes, but he was a little puzzled, not because he suspected that the fourth elder brother was cheating, but because he doubted himself. Why did the third elder brother act, he felt contrived; When the fourth elder brother acts, he should feel his piety?

Kangxi is bedridden and rarely speaks, but the changes in his sons are also in his eyes.

Whether it is sincere or false, for an old man, he enjoys the feeling that his children and grandchildren are serving in front of him. In addition, he was indeed short of energy, and he was worried about state affairs a few days ago, so he took the opportunity to let himself rest for a few days.

However, he also knew that the rest should not be too long, so as to save the foreign ministers from instability.

In a blink of an eye, on the tenth day of the seventh month, the excerpt of Shi Shifat, the governor of Fujian, was sent to the front of the defense in an expedited manner of 600 miles.

Taiwan's civil unrest has been quelled, the thief leader Zhu Yigui has been captured, and the other thieves have been killed or appeased, and they have all been cooked.

Seeing this good news, Kangxi knew that he couldn't be "sick" anymore, and there were still a lot of things that he needed to take care of.

The southeast is flat, and he, who is the emperor, has a lot of confidence, and symbolically reprimanded two scholars who were broken for eating, and picked himself clean.

As he recovered from his illness, the princes and brothers also ended their "sick" life, so what should they do.

As a result, the fourth elder brother finally couldn't stand it anymore, and when he came out of the palace, he fell ill.

The fourth elder brother is in charge of the household department, and he happens to be Cao Hao's direct boss. The boss is sick, and Cao Hao, as a subordinate, is not polite, so he has to go to visit the patient.

The fourth elder brother fasted and fasted to write scriptures, and it was not publicized, and the sixteenth elder brother was in charge of the internal affairs office, so he learned about it from the mouth of the inner servant.

He didn't hide it from Cao Hao, and told Cao Hao about it.

Cao Hao was really unexpectedly tight, he always thought that the fourth elder brother was a restrained surname, but he didn't expect him to do this.

However, he didn't have much to do, and he cleverly sent some "blood-replenishing" medicinal materials, but picked two boxes of high-grade mountain ginseng and personally delivered them to the fourth elder brother's mansion.

As for the sixteenth elder brother, he was not negligent, and sent a box of fresh lotus seeds, honeysuckle, mint and other things, all of which were removed from the fire.

The fourth elder brother Xu was very sick and did not come out to meet the guests, and Cao Hao did not sit for a long time, so he came out after giving the gift.

Just out of the gate of the palace, without waiting for the horse, Cao Hao saw a lot of people not far away surrounded by a carriage slowly coming.

Xiao Man saw it, and he could already see that the pedestrian was familiar with the person leading the team on horseback: "Huh? Like the Sixteenth Master? ”

Cao Hao looked fixedly, and saw that the man on the horse, with a lot of shadows, was a little like the sixteenth elder brother.

As he was looking, he saw the man riding his horse and galloping a few steps, and approached and said, "Lord Cao......"

At this moment, everyone was already approaching, and the guards around the carriage were all in guard clothes.

Cao Hao put down the reins of his horse, drove forward, and said in a proper manner: "The minister Cao Hao has seen the sixteenth master, please be safe to the sixteenth master." ”

The sixteenth elder brother had already jumped off the horse, glanced back at the carriage, and said, "The holy car is here, Lord Cao......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to send Cao Hao to avoid it, or what to do. He didn't take care of himself, he first sent someone forward to tell the gatehouse of the fourth elder brother's mansion to open the middle door, and then walked to the carriage that had been stopped, bowed down and said: "Huang Ama, Cao Hao, the household servant is also here, you see ......"

After a while, a voice came from the car: "Let's go in together, I have something to say to him later......"
