Chapter 1157: Unraveling

"Lord Wang, please be cautious!" Cao Hao saw that the tenth elder brother was called "Xinjun" and said busily.

The tenth elder brother changed his face, glared at Cao Hao and said, "Could it be that you are teaching the master a lesson?" ”

Children of the Heavenly Family, arrogance grows in their bones.

Even though Brother Ten has been under house arrest for nearly three years, he has never bent down.

This time, he was willing to take the initiative to go to Shuwen, but also because he saw that Tianbao Bingxue was cute, and he was willing to take the initiative to obey when he thought of his children, but he didn't expect to wait for Cao Hao's warning, how could Brother Ten not be ashamed?

Cao Hao saw that the tenth elder brother was annoyed, and his heart was also depressed, if it weren't for the fact that the tenth elder brother really loved Tianbao, he wouldn't be bored.

Because of Tianbao, he even took Chu Yu to Yin Hotel a few more times.

Relatives, relatives, feelings also get along.

Cao Hao felt sorry for his wife and children, and he couldn't watch the tenth elder brother get convicted for being reckless.

He put down his surname and said: "Lord, the emperor has been in Yuyu for three years...... the two words 'new monarch' are really not suitable for ......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Rong favored Nian Qianyao, and was initially reprimanded by the emperor, but it was only because of a few wrong words on the fold......"

Brother Shi's face turned red and white, white and red, but the anger in his eyes gradually faded.

He withered in an instant, and his face showed a little confusion: "What do you want to do, do you have to kneel at his feet and shout long live?" ”

Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "Some time ago, the letter of the sixteenth master mentioned that the fifteenth master was going to open a mansion and be knighted...... Perhaps, the prince's return to Beijing is not far away......"

It's just that whether it is forgiven, or being asked, or two words.

When the tenth elder brother heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and Fang said: "What about the ninth master, do you have any news about the ninth master?" ”

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "I only know that in front of the Northwest Army, I don't know the rest." ”

According to the history known in the previous life, Yongzheng dealt with Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, and then started to clean up the eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother. The first two were removed from the clan, and both were killed; The latter two saved their surnames, but they were not released until Qianlong came to power.

In this life, the eighth elder brother died early, and even if the ninth elder brother did not have the sacred heart, he did not have the opportunity to use power, and maybe he escaped the catastrophe.

A few powerless clans, as long as they are sincerely willing to give in, for the sake of fame, Yongzheng may not be able to deal with them.

Brother Ten didn't say anything more, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Cao Hao sighed secretly, pushed the fold back to the tenth elder brother, and said: "This Shuwen prince will take it back first, see if he will consider it again, add a few auspicious words, and come back to get it in a few days." ”

The tenth elder brother was still silent, Cao Hao got up and retreated.

Back in the upper room, Chu Yu had already prepared a sobering soup, Cao Hao waved his hand, and said, "Just rinse your mouth with a cup of weak tea, and eat two cups." ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he personally poured tea and sent it to Cao Hao.

Seeing Cao Hao's solemn face, Chu Yu was also worried, and said, "But what's wrong with Uncle Ten?" ”

Cao Hao rubbed his brows and said, "The Birthday Festival is approaching, and the Tenth Master wants to congratulate him on his birthday." ”

"Huh?" Chu Yu was surprised and said, "This is a good thing." Between the monarchs and the brothers, it is always difficult to keep the stalemate, someone must take this step first! ”

is willing to take the initiative to go to Shuwen, that is, he is willing to surrender, and the emperor also has steps to go down.

Cao Hao smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, it's good, how can the tenth master's temper be able to write soft words?" If you're not careful, you might end up being self-defeating! Therefore, I didn't dare to accept today's sparse text. In the past few days, you have been sitting and sitting more, and you can see that the tenth master is not cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he also has a calf for the Ago Gege in the palace. I only hope that their monarchs and brothers can resolve their grudges, otherwise the tenth master will ask the guilty side of the governor's mansion, and the clan relatives will not blame the emperor, maybe they will only treat me as a lackey who persecutes the clan, and count the resentment and resentment on my head. ”

Cao Hao doesn't have a "loyal" heart, and he has always avoided this kind of thing of carrying the black pot for the emperor.

Chu Yu saw that her husband was embarrassed, and she was willing to share her husband's worries, but she also knew that dismissing the elders was different from admonishing the juniors, and she couldn't be in a hurry, otherwise she would fall into the eyes of the tenth elder brother, and it would seem that the younger generation had less respect and was thankless.

The gossip of uncles and nephews, the topic of Chu Yu's mouth, revolves around his four children.

The eldest son will be fifteen next year, and when he reaches the age of saying his relatives, now the family is in Qingyuan, where is there a family that will be right; The second son is a companion to Brother Hongli, and he stays alone in Beijing, getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness, which is not easy; Tianhui has an eye disease and has been exempted from election, but what kind of person can he say is also heartbreaking; Although Tianbao is young, it seems that it is time for enlightenment.

These parents are short, and the ten elder brothers will be impatient to listen.

Now, it was the patience that reminded him of his own children.

There are not many wives and concubines in his county king's mansion, and there are only three famous wives and concubines, and he gave birth to six sons and three daughters, not counting those who died young, and four people stood down, namely the twenty-year-old Da Gege, the nineteen-year-old Ergege, the eighteen-year-old fifth elder brother and the sixteen-year-old sixth elder brother.

In other royal palaces, the children of the clan over the age of fifteen began to marry one after another. These Gege and elder brothers in the Dunjun Royal Mansion were burdened by the ten elder brothers, and they didn't say goodbye.

Even if you are reluctant to marry your parents, you will not talk about others until you are nineteen or twenty, and you are still an old girl.

In Chu Yu's casual gossip, Brother Ten involuntarily felt a little guilty.

Chu Yu only didn't know, but when he came to the Yin Hotel two days later, he changed into plain clothes, and his eyes were red and swollen.

These are said, the tenth elder brother's diet and daily life are mostly taken care of by Chu Yu, the eldest niece; Seeing that she did not shy away from it, she was willing to send her young son to him to relieve his boredom, and the relationship between uncle and nephew was much deeper than in the past.

Seeing that Chu Yu's expression was wrong, Brother Ten immediately became annoyed, and asked bluntly, "But that kid Cao Hao bullied you?" Don't try to hide it for him, tell Uncle Ten, Uncle Ten will be angry for you! ”

Chu Yu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Ten...... I really don't do anything about it......" As she spoke, she showed a little sadness and said, "I received a letter from the capital yesterday, and the three Geges on the Fifth Uncle's Mansion and the Big Gege on the Ninth Uncle's Mansion are gone...... Before these two cousins left Beijing, their nieces had gone over to get married...... Although he had known for a long time that Mongolia was bitter cold and that there were few long-lived nobles in the clan, he did not expect that bad luck would befall the two cousins...... The niece's sister also caressed the Mongolian ......"

Three years of hard work, the death of the emperor, the death of the queen mother, and the death of the prince.

For the murderous letter of the nieces, the tenth elder brother was not too touched, only thinking that the ninth elder brother lost his eldest daughter, I don't know if he would be sad.

Although the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion has wives and concubines and children, the feelings for the firstborn daughter are different.

Seeing that Chu Yu was sad, the tenth elder brother had to comfort him and said, "Thousands of miles away, what's the use of worrying about it?" Among the nobles who raised Mongolia, in addition to those who died young, there were also those who enjoyed happiness, isn't there an eldest princess and several eldest princesses alive? ”

Chu Yu's eyes were red, and he said: "Yes, my niece should also be happy, after all, my sister has been named the county lord, even if she is not as noble as the princess, she is still much stronger than the daughter of the sect with a low reputation...... This is all the Gege of the palace and the Beizi Mansion, and they can still get a murderous letter, an ordinary sect girl, who quietly breaks the soul of Mongolia, I don't know how many ......"

She felt sad, so she didn't stay in the Yin Hotel for long, and left with a little sentimentality.

Brother Ten lay on his back on the kang for a long time, and when he sat up again, his face was already resolute.

After a few days, Cao Hao took Shuwen from the hands of the tenth elder brother.

He picked up the study and read it word by word, although there was no flattery, but it was also respectful and respectful, without the slightest ambiguity.

Although the thirteenth elder brother hinted in the letter, the emperor's intention was to make Cao Hao close to the tenth elder brother.

The heart of the monarch is unpredictable, especially the heart of the emperor, turning over the clouds and raining the hands, like a trench, bottomless.

If Yongzheng wants to continue the seizure after the seizure of Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, the tenth elder brother will not be spared, and maybe he will be angry with Cao Hao.

At that time, even Cao Hao's friendliness to the tenth elder brother became Cao Hao's fault.

In that case, but there is nowhere to shout grievances, Cao Hao can only do more things and check for the tenth elder brother.

Cao Hao's side, for the sake of the longevity festival, also wrote an excerpt freely, in addition to congratulating the longevity festival, but also imploring to return to Beijing to see His Majesty.

Every year, the Wanshou Festival is also the time when the governor enters Beijing.

Cao Hao had an excerpt as early as July, and the instructions at that time were "It is still early, and it will be discussed later".

Now, it is already the beginning of October, whether you are allowed to enter Beijing or not, you should also give a quasi-letter ...... * Beijing, the old man's house, the old lady's house.

The old lady was dressed and leaned on the kang, with a little defeat on her face.

Nian Xi sat on the square stool next to the kang, took a bowl of black decoction in his hand, stirred the spoon, and wanted to feed the old lady the medicine. Qigege stood behind her husband and held warm tea for gargling in her hand.

The old lady shook his head and said, "The old man can still hold the medicine bowl...... As he spoke, he took the medicine bowl from his grandson and drank it in two sips.

Qi Gege hurriedly took two steps forward, took the bowl in the old lady's hand, and handed over warm tea.

The old lady rinsed her mouth, looked at her filial grandson and granddaughter, was somewhat relieved, and said kindly: "It's just a change in solar terms, it's a little uncomfortable, just take medicine and lie down for a few days." And after a few days of vigilance, and when you are tired, go and rest early. It's an eventful time, and if you two are tired and sick, what else can the old man count on......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the commotion in the courtyard.

"Grandfather ......"

"Master ......"

As he spoke, the two of them came in with the curtain, it was Nian Xing and Nian Fu, and the two brothers had a look of urgency on their faces.

When the old lady saw that they were wearing clothes for going out, her face drooped suddenly.

Earlier, a few of their brothers were still honestly staying in the mansion, since the emperor ordered in September to detain Nian Qianyao to enter Beijing, Nian Fu couldn't stay, so he took Nian Xing out of the house often to inquire about the news.

Looking at the two brothers' outfits, needless to say, they came back from outside.

Nian Fu didn't care about looking at his face, and said eagerly: "Grandfather, according to the news from Jiangnan, my father should arrive in the capital; The officials sent to Hangzhou by the Criminal Department also showed up in the capital, but when they went to inquire about the Criminal Department, they said that their father had not yet arrived......"
