Chapter 206 Cao Yin seeks honor but rebels against humiliation
This time, the Cao family came to Beijing in large numbers. One was for the marriage of the eldest daughter Cao Chun, the other was to negotiate the marriage of the second daughter of the Cao family and Yuzhu, and the last one was for Cao Yong's errand.
The Cao family belongs to the Han Army's coat of arms at Zhengbai Banner, which is also the coat of arms of Shangsan Banner, and belongs to the emperor's personal property.
Cao Yin is a weaving doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the title of Third-grade General Affairs Officer. According to the convention, his only son Cao Yong can enter the bodyguard department and serve as a blue feather bodyguard...
The Blue Ling Guards are of the sixth grade, with a total of only ninety people.
The most numerous guards in the palace are actually the third-class guards.
There are ninety third-class bodyguards from Manchuria in each of the three upper banners, totaling two hundred and seventy.
However, there are about 600 third-class guards who came from the Han army in Shangsanqi.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire group of third-class guards has always been around a thousand people.
As long as you are in the banner, no matter whether you are a pure Manchu or not, you are one of the Qing Dynasty's own people.
In this sense, the wild Jurchens of the Sauron tribe, who belonged to the Manchu lineage, were not banner people, and therefore they were not their own people in the Qing Dynasty.
In order to prevent the Sauron Tribe from growing in the Land of Longxing, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would dispatch the Sauron Tribe's cavalry to fight as long as there was a war.
This led to a serious consequence: the number of strong men in Sauron's tribe became smaller and smaller. By the late Qing Dynasty, Sauron's tribe could no longer draw a team of more than a thousand people.
Using war to weaken the Sauron tribe is essentially the same as weakening the Khalkha Mongolian tribes.
This was the basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty and was implemented thoroughly by successive emperors.
Before Cao Yong came to Beijing, Kangxi, who was nostalgic for the past, had already sent a message and ordered him to directly serve as Lan Ling's bodyguard.
As a brother-in-law, Yuzhu naturally has to be concerned about his brother-in-law's future.
Cao Yong replied: "After the eldest sister gets married, I will report to the guard office."
Old Thirteen thought for a while and said: "I have a good relationship with Na Zhangshun, the third-class bodyguard of Zhengbai Banner. I will say hello to him later and ask him to take care of you."
Cao Yong quickly stood up, saluted with a bow, and thanked Old Thirteen for his kindness.
The Tong family belonged to Manchuria with the Yellow Banner, and Tong Guowei, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, had no control over Cao Yong.
The old Tong family really can't help.
However, in the same year as Yuzhu's examination, Guarjia Seleng'e's eldest brother, Selei, was actually the Minister of Sanzhi of Zhengbai Banner.
In the early Qing Dynasty, the second-grade ministers of casual rank were not synonymous with idle ministers, but deputy ministers with real power who assisted the internal ministers in managing the guards.
Yuzhu smiled and told Cao Yong: "After you report to the guard office, go to our banner's Minister of Sanzhi Guarjia Serei. He will take good care of you."
With Yuzhu's arrogant strength, Se Lei Zheng was worried that he couldn't find a chance to get on the line.
Yuzhu plays chess with the old emperor at noon every day. What is the concept of this?
Se Lei is a second-rank minister of Sanzhi. He is not blind, so naturally he is a sensible person who knows what he is doing.
No, after Yuzhu asked Sai Leng'e of the same year to help deliver the message, Se Lei agreed without any hesitation. He said that Yu Zhu could rest assured that he would definitely help take care of Cao Yong.
Old Thirteen sighed: "Your friendship is much higher than that of my brother, the prince."
Yuzhu smiled and said nothing. It was hard for him to accept Old Thirteen's harsh words.
The Cao family has many relatives in the capital. Soon, the whole old house became lively.
Cao Chun's wedding has nothing to do with Yuzhu. He only needs to accompany Lao Shisan well.
At dusk, Yuzhu and Lao Shisan, who were drinking and chatting, were invited into the main hall of the main courtyard to watch the ceremony.
However, Nersu, who was supposed to come to greet the bride, did not come.
The person who came here was Narsu's younger brother, the third-class auxiliary general Narde.
Among the nine nobles of the royal family, the third-class Auxiliary General, from the second rank, is ranked second to the Zhenguo General and higher than the Fengguo General, and belongs to the third-to-last title.
Hey, this time, Cao Yin's face was slapped.
Yuzhu, who was standing in the crowd, could see very clearly that Cao Yin's face was white and red, with purple in it, and he was trembling with anger.
"Oh, this is totally unreasonable!" Lao Shisan only liked Cao Yong, so naturally he could not stand up for Cao Yin.
As for Yuzhu, it is even more impossible to stand up for justice for Cao Yin!
Cao Yin chose his own path and cannot blame anyone!
Cao Yin is an adult. He is willing to get close to Nersu and wants to flatter Lao Ba. How can Yuzhu, a son-in-law, be able to control him?
Seeing that Yuzhu just lowered his head but said nothing, Lao Shisan also thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, bystanders know clearly, and Lao Shisan knew very well that Yuzhu was now an indispensable figure around Kangxi.
Whether a person is great or not does not depend on his official position, but on the distance between him and the emperor.
To put it bluntly, among all the princes and elder brothers including Crown Prince Yinreng, who dares to underestimate Wei Zhu, who is only in the sixth rank?
Cao Yin dared to be angry but dared not speak, Yuzhu deliberately remained silent, Lao Shisan did not have such a deep relationship with the Cao family, and no one came forward at the scene.
It was as if a Siberian cold wave had suddenly arrived, and the festive atmosphere in the main hall was instantly wiped out.
Lao Shisan had been waiting for Cao Yin to take action, and he yelled that he was bullying someone too much.
As long as Cao Yin turns his face, Lao Shisan will dare to force Yuzhu to stand up for him and seek justice.
However, from beginning to end, Cao Yin only dared to be sulky and did not dare to lift the table.
Just like that, with the Cao family swallowing their anger, Cao Chun, who was wearing a red hijab, was welcomed into the sedan chair by Nard and left.
The atmosphere was completely ruined, and Old Thirteen had no interest in drinking anymore.
As soon as the sedan chair left, Lao Shisan grabbed Yuzhu and moved away.
Lao Shisan took a deep breath and dragged Yuzhu to Sibeile Mansion.
The fourth child is still working hard in the Ministry of Works and cannot possibly go home so early.
The Sifu Jin Ulanala clan has long been familiar with Lao Shisan's willful behavior.
Following her instructions, a table of fine noodles was set up in the kitchen. Among them, Yuzhu's favorite dish, the mutton hotpot, was naturally indispensable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I said, are you Abha too timid? If it were me, the hereditary king of TNND would have overturned the table long ago."
Thirteen men drank a bowl of wine, cursing and indignantly.
Yuzhu drank a full bowl of soju with Lao Shisan. He imitated Lao Shisan and raised his hand to wipe the wine stains from the corners of his lips. He smiled slightly and said, "He is afraid of offending your fourteenth brother. Indirectly
How dare you make a mistake after offending your eighth brother?"
Hit the nail on the head!
Lao Shisan blinked and found nothing to say in reply. Feeling depressed, he drank another bowl of soju.
Even though Old Thirteen is just a short-seller with no real power, he is very well-informed.
Why? The Thirteen Thieves like to hang out with the middle and lower-level officers in the Eight Banners Infantry Camp.
These middle and lower-level officers do not have a high status themselves, nor do they have much real power. However, their fathers and brothers are all high-ranking officials under their banner.
Among the families under his control, top relatives like Tong Banchao can only be regarded as exceptions.
Under normal circumstances, due to limited family resources, no matter how many children there are, only one or two of the most outstanding children can come forward.
The rest of the disciples can only follow the trend and get an official position and live their lives.
Lao Shisan spent his days drinking, gambling and playing with girls with these people. As you can imagine, his sources of information were extensive.
Everyone said that Cao Yin was short-sighted and ignored the jade pillar that made half the sky red, instead of trying to win over him, and wanted to curry favor with the empty-handed prince of Narsu. He simply lived such a long life in vain.
In the past, Lao Shisan always believed that Cao Yin was not a fool.
After today's encounter, Cao Yin's cowardly performance completely subverted Lao Shisan's inherent impression.
All fools know that as long as Yuzhu is willing to take the initiative on behalf of the Cao family and bring the matter to the old emperor, the Prince Pingjun Palace will definitely be in bad luck!
Starting from the clan En Shan, to the prince's nanny Ling Pu and important minister Al Ling'a, and then to the arrogant Lao Shi and Lao Jiu, they were all reduced to disgrace by Yuzhu, and they were all very unlucky!
Lao Shi was taken to Changbai Mountain and is still eating dirt on the road.
Lao Jiu was even worse. Under the emperor's order, he went to guard the Xiaoling Mausoleum alone with only an old eunuch by his side.
Regarding today's matter, even Lao Shisan, who is not good at teasing others, easily came up with an excuse: contempt for the Holy Bow!
Coward Cao! Rat-eyed Cao!
After all, Yuzhu was Cao Yin's serious son-in-law. It was because of Yuzhu's face that Lao Shisan dared to scold him like this in his heart.
Hehe, Yuzhu had long seen Lao Shisan’s slander. However, he just pretended not to see it.
To put it bluntly, when it comes to Cao Yin and the Cao family, Yuzhu's mentality is just one sentence: avoid it for fear of failure!
The Cao family's defeat in history was rooted in two points: extravagance without knowing frugality, and being on the wrong team twice!
Yuzhu had long understood Kangxi's intention to marry the second girl of the Cao family.
Sabusu's close and old subordinates were all over Heilongjiang. How could Kangxi not know about them?
The Fucha family had soldiers, and the Cao family, a wealthy debtor from a wealthy family, just held Yuzhu back, preventing the Tong family from becoming too powerful.
In addition, Kangxi also had good intentions and wanted Yuzhu to support the Cao family and help Cao Yin slowly pay off his debts.
Yuzhu's brain is not flooded. The Cao family can't pay off its debts. Does it have anything to do with him?
Last time, Cao Chun asked for help in person regardless of the ethics and ethics, and he was indeed forced into a hurry.
If Xiao Caojia's family is just a concubine, Yuzhu must be too lazy to pay attention to the big Caojia family's request for help.
In order to prevent the Cao sisters from meeting each other in the future, Yuzhu approached the old emperor to intercede and helped to get the Lei family to come out to make household items.
By the time the fourth child returned home, the table was already in a messy state with cups and plates and wine spilled all over the table.
"What's going on today? I heard in the Ministry of Industry that the Cao family's wedding caused a big joke?" The fourth child asked the old man, but he was looking at Yuzhu.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the fourth child had nothing to do with the Cao family, so he described what happened impartially.
The fourth child sneered: "If you fail to seek glory, you should suffer humiliation instead!"
