Chapter 1287: Painstaking (Tears Running for a Monthly Pass)
Changchun Palace, West Times.
The queen Nala sat on the kang, and there were two rows of eight chairs on the ground, full of orders to enter the palace and ask for peace. Chu Yu's position is in the second chair to the west.
Chu Yu is the first to be Princess Heshuo Shushen, who came out of the cabinet last year. Although she was married to Horqin, because her husband was in Beijing, she stayed in Beijing temporarily and did not go to Mongolia.
Today, Princess Heshuo Shushen came over for the marriage of several of her brothers-in-law.
The Fujin ladies present here are either the Mongolian princes or the county lords of the clan, and most of them are also here for their children and grandchildren.
In last year's draft, many clans were married, but this year is Yongzheng's fiftieth birthday, and there is news in the palace that he wants to marry the show girl who left the brand to be raised and the noble girl of the clan.
Most of the people who can get to the queen are like Chu Yu, the two have already discussed, and they are just a matter of will.
There are also two who rely on their high seniority and want to choose a daughter-in-law who is higher than their own family and raise their identities for their children and grandchildren. However, such careful thinking may not be possible on the queen's side.
The queen is a notoriously generous person, how could she do such a thankless thing?
Therefore, the situation of the people who come to greet them is twofold.
Like Chu Yu, the two families talked to the queen and were willing to get married, so the queen smiled and nodded. Only one side picks and chooses, and the family is not very compatible, and the queen is vague.
Although not everyone is satisfied, no one dares to be presumptuous in the Queen's Palace. There is an elderly county king Fujin, who is also from the clan, and the one he chose for his eldest grandson is the six grids of King Jian's mansion.
Now that her plan has failed, and the Cao family has taken advantage, Lao Fujin is not in pain in his heart, and he begins to eat Chu Yu in a weird way.
In and out of the words, the Cao family is calculating, and they can't wait to marry all their daughters into the clan, and they also climb the clan.
Chu Yu got the letter and made up his mind.
Although I was impatient to sit like this, I didn't want to quit first, so I had to sit honestly. For Lao Fujin's eating, Chu Yu was not good at talking back to him in front of everyone, so he had to drink tea, as if he hadn't heard of it.
Speaking of which, among the people who came to ask for peace, the queen and Chu Yu had the closest relationship.
Seeing that Chu Yu was squeezed out, the queen felt a little unhappy, and was about to open her mouth to help her relieve the siege, when she saw the little eunuch come in to tell her.
Brother Fuhui came over to say goodbye.
The edicts in the house were all quiet, and there was a lot of curiosity in my heart about the son of the imperial concubine, who rarely appeared in front of people.
The Qing Dynasty not only talked about "the mother is more expensive than the son", but also said that "the son is more expensive than the mother", if the concubine's family is defeated, Fuhui's identity is higher than that of several other princes.
As for whether Fuhui is from Concubine Man, the prince of the Eight Banners may put it in his eyes, how many of these inner courtyard ladies care? Emperor Shizu is of mixed Manchu and Mongolian blood, and Emperor Shengzu is of mixed Manchu and Mongolian and Han blood, and the roots of the royal family have long been impure.
Everyone got up to give a gift to Fuhui, and the queen waved her hand to stop everyone: "Brother is still young, most of you are his elders......"
Chu Yu also fixed his eyes on the little man who gave the queen a greeting in a proper manner.
Next year will be about the same age as Tianbao, but Fuhui looks much thinner, his face is pale, and he is not healthy when he looks at it.
The queen called for someone to lift him up and pull him to her side.
The queen stroked Fuhui's head with pity, and said: "Although it is cold, it is not good to be stuffy in the house all the time, just like today, it is very good, come to see the emperor's mother, and she can also move." It's just that don't be in a hurry, if you sweat and see the wind, it's not fun. ”
"Well, the son listens to the emperor's mother." Fuhui nodded in response, glanced around, and asked in a low voice, "Huang Eniang, where is Sister Shuya?" ”
"I was taken back to the palace by her mother, and I will come back in a few days." The queen lovingly replied.
This Shuya is the niece of the queen's mother, and she is very loved by the queen, and she lives in the palace for half a year round.
Fuhui was both annoyed and a little expectant: "My son's starling can speak, and I want to show it to Sister Shuya." Sister Shuya has to come back earlier, otherwise what if the starling forgets to speak again? ”
The childish words caused the queen to laugh, and she asked a few more carefully about food and daily life, and then sent someone to receive the blessing...... When Cao Hao came back, he heard his wife talk about entering the palace and asking for a decree.
Knowing that things were going well, Cao Hao was also relieved.
Don't say how the six grids are, let's just say that Yongqing has been talking for two years, if you can't get married, maybe you will have a bad heart. Cao Hao has only made a handful of friends in his life, and he really doesn't want to be suspicious of this.
"It's good if it's smooth, although Prince Jian is unscored, but Wanyan Fujin's rules are well-known, and the daughter she raised can't be fooled by the rules." Cao Hao said.
Chu Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, among the clans in this generation, the appearance and surname of the six characters can be counted." ”
"After all, you are young, what are the shortcomings, you can train slowly." Cao Hao remembered the sentence that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and he didn't praise Liugege too much, so he said.
Chu Yu glanced at her husband and said, "Whoever comes out of the cabinet is a good daughter-in-law?" You don't have to learn slowly. My father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't find fault with me back then, do you want to find fault with my daughter-in-law? ”
Cao Hao saw his wife's daughter-in-law who did not enter the door, he smiled secretly in his heart, but he still didn't care much about it, and said: "I didn't pick on her badly, I just thought that she was from a noble background and the rules were not bad, but her surname may not be smooth, if you don't know how to serve Aunt Weng, it will make you angry when the time comes." ”
Chu Yu was dissatisfied: "The master is too stubborn, he is marrying a daughter-in-law, and he is just beautiful with God, and he is not adding a girl, where am I waiting for a short time?" My mother-in-law broadened me in the early years, but I myself had to treat my daughter-in-law harshly? ”
It's time to get a preventive shot, Cao Hao has been vaccinated, so he diverted and said, "How is the queen's complexion?" In the past few years, the queen has been sick intermittently, which is really worrying. ”
"It's been Da'an for a long time, and it's okay to look at it, but it's just a little old, after all, it's a person who is about to be fifty." When Chu Yu said this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw Brother Fuhui in the Queen's Palace today." If you remember correctly, Brother Fuhui was seven years old, but he didn't go to the study to study, perhaps because of his poor health. The queen treats Fuhui very lovingly and compassionately. ”
Everyone knows that the filth between the queen and the late Nian Guifei was because of the dispute between the concubines, which caused Yongzheng to be angry, and after the Nian Guifei, she also received the queen's phoenix seal. Even the queen Qianqiu was not allowed to enter the palace to congratulate.
From this point of view, even if the queen is not angry with Fuhui, she should be cold, why does she show a little sincere love?
But if the queen really pities Fuhui, why would she let him waste his time?
Chu Yu was a little puzzled, but Cao Hao thought of the key point: "The prince's enlightenment is a big deal, even if the queen is the master of the six palaces, it will not affect the study." Without the emperor's nod, who would dare to turn away a prince's elder brother from the study? The queen's love may not be, but pity is true. How can a little prince who has no mother to rely on and was abandoned by the emperor be pitiful? ”
Chu Yu was stunned when he heard it: "It's all flesh and blood, why is this so?" ”
Cao Hao said: "What else? Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. The Holy Ancestor Dynasty was too tragic, and the emperor was also afraid in his heart. No matter what Brother Fuhui's talent is, not giving him a chance to stand out, only letting him live a mediocre life, avoiding royal fratricide, can also make the new emperor have no taboo against this little brother. This arrangement is not only the emperor's heart, but also a father's heart. ”
In the end, Cao Hao couldn't help but be a little moved.
The world said that Yongzheng was unkind and unkind, but he didn't think deeply about Yongzheng's deep meaning to the arrangements of several princes.
Hongshi did not measure his own strength, contacted the minister, and tried to save the position, which was a thorn in the heart of the next emperor. In addition, Hongshi is the eldest among the princes who have been established, and the Han people's etiquette and law pay attention to the establishment of a descendant and a long-standing grandson, which is a taboo in the heavenly family.
Yongzheng directly succeeded Hongshi, and then expelled from the clan, went to his qualification to seize the prince, and also preserved Hongshi in disguise.
It's a pity that Hongshi is too extreme, and the gap from the emperor's eldest son to the common people is too big, which makes Hongshi finally go to a dead end.
The same is true here for Fuhui, although he is young, but when he was in the scenery of Qianyao, there were also many people who beat Fuhui's idea. When the fourth elder brother ascends the throne, he really doesn't care? And Fuhui himself, is he really willing to be divided?
Now "pampered" Fuhui, he is just a little prince who has lost his mother. Even the queen went to the mustard, and she really took pity on it; The fourth elder brother will not be taboo about the little brother.
The two sons, the two arrangements, are both to avoid the dispute over the succession, which is another kind of preservation.
It's just that although the starting point is good, it is a little self-righteous. From the pride of the sky to the pitiful, who can stand such a gap?
Cao Hao shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and only said: "Since Yizhi is going to come down, then ask someone to pick a day after the Wanshou Festival and make the ceremony." ”
Chu Yu responded, and the husband and wife were not mentioned in grooming and placement.
The next day, Cao Hao got the news that Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang, was ordered to enter Beijing to congratulate him.
According to the usual practice, when foreign governors enter Beijing, they must deal with the six yamen, which are the so-called "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing".
It can be seen that Zhejiang is a rich land, and all the officials of the household department are full of red light, and they are all satisfied.
Cao Hao, the second-in-command of the household, has more than 2,000 taels of "Tan Jing" under his name.
Cao Hao calculated in his heart, this time Li Wei entered Beijing, the silver money he scattered would be tens of thousands of taels.
However, there are more than a dozen governors in the world, and there are not many who can get the honor of being congratulated on the Wanshou Festival. Li Wei is also the governor of the capital, and the money and grain officials should be grasped, and it is also necessary to have a good relationship with the six departments.
In addition to caring about Li Wei, Cao Hao also worries about Cao Song's side.
Do the math, Zhang Yi arrived in Jiangning early, and there should be a reply there.
The words of the sixteenth elder brother certainly made Cao Hao's heart move; But if Cao Song has the heart to make a military achievement, Cao Hao is still willing to support it.
In the yamen of this household department, everyone talked about how Governor Li was in the morning, and in the afternoon he was replaced by Governor Fan.
Compared with Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang, Fan Shiyi, the governor of Liangjiang, looks more prominent.
Speaking of which, it's still Cao Hao's old acquaintance.
This Governor Fan was only transferred to Jiangnan last year, and in his early years, he served as the chief soldier in Zhili and served as Cao Hao's subordinate.
Among the governors who were ordered to enter Beijing to congratulate, this Governor Fan was also included.
The people in the household department received another "charcoal respect", although it was not as generous as Governor Li, but it was much more decent than the governor of a remote place to enter Beijing......
