After the gold awarding day, Cao Chun told Yuzhu that a letter had arrived from the Cao family and that Cao Yin was about to return to Beijing to see his Majesty to report his work.
At this juncture, something happened to Nersu.
Nersu publicly beat the commander of the Eight Banners garrison in Jingzhou and was sued to Kangxi.
Kangxi did not show mercy at all, and directly issued an order to depose the prince of Nersu and hand him over to the clan government for severe punishment.
The iron-hatted Prince Ping was succeeded by Nersu's younger brother Nard.
The second-class bodyguard Nard was quite trusted by Kangxi. By using him to attack Prince Ping, he was equivalent to placing the old emperor's confidants among the Iron Hat Prince and the Prince.
At this moment, the sky of the Cao family collapsed instantly.
Originally, even if Nersu looked down on the Cao family, Cao Yin could use his iron hat as the father-in-law of the Prince to raise the status of the entire Cao family.
Now, Nersu, the son-in-law, has fallen, and even the king has lost his title. Cao Yin immediately panicked.
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu, whom Cao Yin had always been alienated from, took on another important position at this time, as a minister of the imperial court.
The imperial minister is in charge of the imperial guards with swords, the imperial guards, the guards of Qianqing Palace, the guards of Qianqing Gate and the guards of Changchun Garden.
The so-called imperial ministers have no fixed number and no restrictions on their positions. They are not actual vacancies, but are sent on assignment. Their appointment and dismissal depend entirely on the emperor's trust and favor.
The imperial minister is learning how to walk, and it is really difficult to speak, that is, the imperial minister is still junior and ranked last.
It can be seen from this that it is extremely obvious that Yuzhu was reused and trusted by the old emperor.
Originally, Yuzhu thought that Cao Yi would come to him to cry and beg him to help Nersu overcome the difficulties.
Who would have thought that Cao Yi left the Pingjun Prince's Mansion without saying a word and found an outhouse where he could raise his child in peace.
In just a few years, the fates of Cao Chun and Cao Yi have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The legitimate daughter Cao Yi, whom the Cao family had always admired, became a down-and-out grass chicken. On the contrary, Cao Chun, who was originally like a weed, was at the height of his success.
The extraordinary third-class marquis' wife, the infantry commander's wife, the imperial minister's wife, and the housekeeper's wife. With these four titles added together, Cao Chun was already in the capital and extremely popular.
Therefore, the urgent letter that Cao Yin was about to arrive at Tongzhou Pier was delivered to the Qing Mansion.
No matter how much Cao Chun dislikes Cao Yin, he is still her biological father.
When my father-in-law arrived in the capital, it would be completely unreasonable for his son-in-law, Yuzhu, not to pick him up in person.
Last time, when Cao Yin came to Beijing, Nersu acted like an iron-hatted prince and did not go to the dock to greet him.
After the news spread, Kangxi found out about it and commented on it, which was quite irrational!
Cao Yin made a calculation and made Kangxi think that he was ignorant of etiquette, which was a big trouble!
Therefore, early in the morning on the day Cao Yin arrived in Beijing, Yuzhu took Cao Chun and Xiao Tiechui by car and left Chaoyang Gate to Tongzhou Pier.
Yuzhu went to pick up Cao Yin in person, which was to show Kangxi.
Therefore, he deliberately showed up as a marquis and went to Tongzhou with great fanfare.
The marquis' ceremonial guard consists of four golden sticks, one apricot yellow umbrella, two large and small green fans, and ten flags and spears. There are two people leading the way and eight people following behind. The guard of honor is the same as the princess's consort.
Yuzhu is the third-class marquis. His carriage has black wheels, black shafts, green cover, green rim and green wattle.
The main difference between the Duke's and Marquis' carriages is that the Duke's carriage is Zaoyuan and the Marquis' carriage is Green Edge. The rest are almost the same.
There are dozens of miles between Chaoyangmen and Guanchuan Pier in Tongzhou.
Yuzhu's family left the mansion at Maozheng (6 o'clock) and arrived in Tongzhou at Sichu (9 o'clock).
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Yin's official ship slowly docked.
After Yuzhu got the news, he put down the tea cup in his hand, led Cao Chun and Tie Chui out of the teahouse and went down to the dock.
After Cao Yin landed on the shore, he saw a large family of Yuzhu coming to greet him in person, and his face was full of smiles.
"My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law." Yuzhu was about to salute, but Cao Yin quickly took his arm and said very humbly, "We are close relatives, why do we need so many gifts? That's all, that's all."
Yuzhu didn't want to worship Cao Yin originally, but seeing that Cao Yin was very knowledgeable, he stood up straight.
"My daughter pays homage to my father."
"My grandson Changsheng pays homage to his grandfather."
"That's it, that's it." As soon as Cao Yin saw the pink and jade-shaped little hammer, he was overjoyed and took his little hand and said affectionately, "Have you had some refreshments? Don't starve."
The little hammer said crisply: "Go back to grandpa, your grandson won't be hungry."
"Okay, okay." Cao Yin simply squatted down and hugged the little hammer into his arms, thus avoiding the embarrassment of being so alienated before.
Yuzhu and Cao Chun looked at each other, feeling helpless.
It was natural for grandpa to hug his grandson, and neither of them could talk about it.
Unlike ordinary officials, Cao Yin was an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a member of the Tian family, so he did not need to go to the post station where foreign officials had to stay temporarily.
This time, Cao Yin did not go back to the Cao family's old house, but went straight to Yuzhu's house.
Unlike in the past, Cao Yin brought countless gifts. According to preliminary estimates, they were worth at least two hundred thousand taels of silver.
After Cao Yin went to the palace gate to hand over a sign to invite him, Cao Chun curled his lips and said, "The gifts he brought are much more than my dowry."
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Nersu has been dismissed from the rank, and Cao Yi can't count on him anymore, so he can't invest more in you?"
"Oh, I think about those days. When I was in the Cao family, let alone Cao Yi, even compared with Zhou Rui's family, I was still far inferior." When Cao Chun thought of the treatment he received as inferior to a slave, he felt unhappy and couldn't bear it.
I complained to the man.
Just when Yuzhu was calming Cao Chun's mood, someone from the palace came to convey the order and asked him to meet him in the imperial garden with Yuzhu.
As soon as Yuzhu heard this, he knew that he was going to perform the drama of deep love between father-in-law and son-in-law in front of Kangxi.
Sure enough, Yuzhu arrived at the imperial garden and paid a visit to Kangxi. Kangxi said with a smile: "I heard from Cao Yin that you took your whole family to Tongzhou to pick him up? Well, that's very kind. Respecting the elderly is the way of human ethics."
Yuzhu understood what Kangxi meant, but deliberately pretended to be stupid and made suggestions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Back to the emperor, Jia Yue is old, and it is not easy to travel around the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. The servant was brave, knelt down to the emperor, and ordered Jia Yue to return to the capital.
Taking office?"
Yuzhu had already thought about it and continued to indulge Cao Yin's family, living a luxurious and decadent life in the south of the Yangtze River, and the shortfall he caused could only get bigger and bigger.
Rather than letting the Cao family wander outside, it is better to simply bring the Cao family back to the capital, stay under Yuzhu's nose, and keep a close eye on them to avoid causing greater trouble.
Kangxi looked deeply at Yuzhu. When he asked Yuzhu to marry the daughter of the Cao family, he wanted to use Yuzhu's ability to make money to bring back the Cao family, which was suffering huge losses.
Kangxi could not have known that Cao Yin lived a luxurious life.
However, the Cao family's huge deficit was caused by the emperor's many southern tours.
To put it bluntly, Cao Yin's filial piety made him feel comfortable even if he borrowed money to serve Kangxi, which is indeed very touching.
However, since Yuzhu proposed to Cao Yin face to face that he should return to Beijing for retirement, Kangxi had to consider it carefully.
"Cao Yin, do you think you can see for yourself?" Kangxi turned to ask Cao Yin.
In the past, Cao Yin would never have wanted to leave the colorful world of Jiangnan.
Now, the situation is very different.
Nersu, whom Cao Yin originally wanted to rely on, not only collapsed, but also the king was dismissed.
Where did Cao Yin get the capital to dare to go against Yu Zhu's wishes?
"Master, I'm really a bit overwhelmed. Now, I just want to be by your side, serving refreshments, leading horses and riding..." Cao Yin gritted his teeth and took up Yuzhu's words.
, and gave a lot of reasons.
"Yuzhu, how to deal with the deficit of Jiangning Weaving?" Kangxi asked the key point.
Yuzhu had already thought about it and said: "When I return to the emperor, I can order my supervisor to build eight to ten foreign ships. After the ships are built, I only need to follow the Xiyi cargo ships and go overseas to return them."
The debt has been cleared. If the debt is not repaid, I am willing to use my property as a guarantee to repay it."
Kangxi smiled with satisfaction. What he was waiting for was Yuzhu's promise as a guarantee.
To put it bluntly, someone had to fill the hole for the money Kangxi spent playing in the mountains in the south.
It is obviously impossible to rely on Cao Yin to pay off the deficit.
Therefore, when Kangxi proposed to marry Cao Chun, he was thinking about letting Yuzhu take over and fill the sinkhole.
Hide, it is impossible for Yuzhu to dodge. If he extends his head and cuts his head, it will still be a cut.
After all, Cao Yin is Kangxi's only living hahazhu, and his care for him is unusual.
"Well, Cao Yin will return to the capital and serve as doctor and shipbuilder in the Imperial Secretariat. As for the weaving in Jiangning, Li Xu will take charge of it."
Kangxi made the final decision, adopted Yuzhu's suggestion, and brought Cao Yin, a great scourge, back to the capital.
The Imperial Book Office, affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is mainly responsible for copying and engraving the emperor's imperial poems and manuscripts, and manufacturing ink, ink and other supplies. It has engraving, mounting, ink engraving, and ink making.
There are more than 100 people in charge of the office, including warehouse managers and craftsmen.
How should I put it? Kangxi's arrangement implies dissatisfaction with Cao Yin's incompetence.
How can the Royal Book Office be compared with the popular Jiangnan Sanwei Office?
However, Kangxi had good intentions in putting Cao Yin in the idle imperial office.
The doctor of the Imperial Secretariat was indeed far away from the emperor. However, he was not too distant.
At least, when Kangxi wanted to chat with Haha Zhuzi, Cao Yin could be at his call.
Cao Yin served as the so-called shipbuilding envoy. In fact, what did he know about building foreign ships?
Isn’t it Yuzhu who has the final say?
Yuzhu had long wanted to build foreign ships and go overseas to make money.
Fortunately, using Cao Yin's excuse to return to Beijing, Yuzhu finally found the right time and persuaded Kangxi.
After all, the huge deficit caused by the Cao family was indeed a great obstacle to Kangxi's reputation as a saint.
In his later years, Kangxi was greedy for pleasure and did not want to bear the reputation of wasting money and wasting people.
In this case, how could Kangxi leave Yuzhu, who was good at making money?
This is like Qianlong in his later years, who could not do without the same nature as Zhongtang!
After bidding farewell to Kangxi, Cao Yin finally understood a major event. Yuzhu had an extraordinary influence on the old emperor.
Alas, from now on, the entire Cao family can only rely on Yuzhu!
