Offense is the best defense!
Since the previous strange things were all in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let’s get to know the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs can make a knife, it can be held in the hands of others or in your own hands.
Shu Shu was still on guard in her heart, not because of the second nanny or anything like that, but because of the death of Brother Eleven.
Also, Brother Jiu is indeed older and married, and it’s time to learn how to do errands.
In later generations, due to family rumors, everyone had a misunderstanding, thinking that the prince could control a political affairs.
Actually, not at all.
As a young emperor who succeeded to the throne, Kangxi first fought against the four major ministers, and then the princes of the clan, who were already accustomed to monopolizing power.
The six bureaus are the skeleton of the imperial court. How could Kangxi distribute power to each of his sons? !
It was not the prince who threatened him like that, but him, the emperor!
Nowadays, the princes above the eighth prince are in charge of affairs.
To put it nicely, it’s like a project team, one person leading the project and the other supervising it.
To put it harshly, it's like being a temporary worker, who can be sent wherever someone is looking.
It's just that the prince's status is noble and there is a distinction between high and low, so the one who makes up the number becomes the backbone.
Just like the eighth elder brother, he was responsible for calculating the accounts of river engineering in the 36th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in Gyeonggi Province in May. In these two months, he was often at the Dushui Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Works.
When I finished my errands in early July, I was free.
It doesn't mean that the Ministry of Industry's territory belongs to him.
Perhaps because of his experience, the next similar errand will probably be his.
These deeds have left one or two entries in the actual records and other materials, and some people misunderstood that the prince divided up the rights of the six departments after he became an adult, so that he could compete with the prince.
In fact, the prince and the prince are not the same weight at all.
The king and his ministers are the king and his ministers.
The only one who could compete with the prince was Kangxi.
"It's good to get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you won't have to worry... The six departments are responsible for good and bad things. The censor will keep an eye on them and impeach them every three to five times... and they mostly involve people's livelihood matters. If you slack off a little, it will affect local stability, and you must not do anything. Looking up information to understand, looking through old cases, and seeing how others responded before. Trying to do every errand with all your heart is probably like learning a new lesson... It is different here in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Just go back. It is the daily affairs of the royal family. Even if there is any negligence, the scope of impact will be small and the burden will not be so heavy..."
Shu Shu mentally sorted out the benefits of being an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said it again.
In fact, the most important thing is to stay away from the court, keep a limited circle, do not have to associate with civil and military ministers because of interest disputes, and be able to detach yourself when power is strife.
At the same time, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs is directly responsible to the emperor, it is still at the center of imperial power, with a stable position and a strong presence in front of the emperor.
Brother Jiu was moved after hearing this.
He studied in Shangshufang for more than ten years. He learned enough and really didn't want to continue studying.
It's okay if you learn what you like, but it's even more uncomfortable if you don't like it.
However, he still hesitated for a moment: "I was thinking about it two years ago. When I grow up, I will go to the Lifan Academy..."
"For this, did I learn a foreign language?"
Shu Shu asked back: "How come I heard that the Lifan Yuan still manages many internal and external vassals? When foreigners enter the court, isn't it the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites?"
"There are also those who want to return to the vassal academy because they just want to meet more people and learn more about the world..."
Brother Jiu was also excited when he mentioned this: "Since ancient times, books have written about 'a round sky and a square place'. It wasn't until Western priests came over and made a globe that we knew we were stepping on a big ball... and The stars in the sky may just be countless balls, it’s interesting, isn’t it?”
Shu Shu listened and felt sorry for Brother Jiu.
Had he been born three hundred years later, he might have become a linguist, translator, or astronomer.
"If you want to go, look for a chance to try... maybe you can do it well..."
Shu Shu still felt a little disrespectful, but seeing that Brother Jiu was in high spirits, he didn't say those disappointing words.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and shook his head: "That's what I said. The errands of the Lifan Academy are not that easy to do. At the beginning of the year, Khan Ama sent people to Zhungeer to deliver orders, but he just came back now. This It only takes half a year to go back and forth... It's better to go to Khalkha. It takes three or four months to go back and forth on horseback. If you go to Tibet, you have to cross mountains and ridges, which is farther than the journey to Zhungar..."
Shu Shu blinked: "Is it necessary to travel for the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know... There are quite a few yamen outside, like the three major weaving companies in Jiangnan... I just don't know how to take care of things on weekdays..."
Shu Shu was also thinking of the three major weaving industries in Jiangnan.
Cao family...
What red fan is not curious? !
Jiangning Weaving Cao family is now in the stage of flourishing.
The eldest girl of the Cao family will be the future Fu Jin of Pingjun Prince Nersu...
Nersu is still the younger brother of the palace, a little older than Xiaoliu...
Where is Cao Yong, son of Cao Yin?
It must be as precious as gold.
Shu Shu's eyes were shining, and he really wanted to go and explore the past and present lives of the characters in Red Mansions.
As for the idea that "Dream of Red Mansions" is a "pearl's family affair", she put it aside for the time being, unable to substitute it.
You must know that the decline of the Cao family is a complete decline. In the final analysis, it is because the family's foundation is not enough, and its prosperity and decline are completely dependent on the emperor's favor.
The Mingzhu family is different.
Even though Mingzhu lost power, the family did not fall into decline. It was still a noble family in the Eight Banners. Their children and grandchildren married into the clan, and their great-grandchildren also gave birth to princesses and concubines of the Qianlong Dynasty.
Brother Ninth misunderstood.
When Shu Shu's eyes lit up when he heard "Jiangnan", he couldn't help but smile and said: "You really look at the heights of the mountains, so you followed the Holy Master to patrol Mongolia, and you are thinking about the southern tour..."
"Will you tour southern China next year?"
Shu Shu was very excited. Now that the canal is open, taking a boat is different from taking a car: "Will I still follow you?"
According to legend, Kangxi visited the south six times, but stayed in Jiangning Zhizao Mansion several times.
If you follow them there, you might be able to see the Cao family.
Brother Jiu felt a little unsure: "Who knows, Khan Ama's sons will all take turns to take him out..."
Shu Shu saw this and changed the topic.
A night of silence.
Everyone woke up early the next day.
When the sky was still dark, the group left Miyun Palace.
Because it was a night journey, not only the ninth elder brother did not ride a horse, but also the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were riding in cars. Adding the servants and luggage, there were eleven carriages, which was already a large team.
Accompanying them were a group of imperial guards and a hundred military camp vests, all of whom were riding to protect the team.
Shu Shu got up early, put on her riding clothes and boots, and waited in high spirits.
It's early autumn now, and it's starting to get late.
On the first day of the lunar month, the sky became white, and it was almost completely bright at the second quarter of the lunar month.
Shu Shu opened the carriage curtain and looked at it. She had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Seeing the scene on both sides of the road becoming clearer, she pushed Brother Jiu: "Master, change the horse..."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, a little worried: "How about I take you for a ride first? Riding a horse at home is different from riding outside..."
Shu Shu was unconvinced, but after thinking about it, she didn't refute and nodded: "Then please..."
Since she wanted to be a good Fujin, it seemed more reasonable for her to be "forced" to ride together by Brother Jiu.
The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth turned up, obviously very satisfied with Shu Shu's obedience.
The carriage of the young couple was at the front of the convoy.
Brother Jiu opened the curtain and called for a stop, and the entire convoy stopped.
The imperial guard in charge of the escort is the first-class guard and the general of the country, Norob. He wears a yellow belt around his waist. He was born in the Shuncheng palace and is the uncle's brother-in-law.
Norob was riding his horse to accompany him. When he saw the car stopped, he also dismounted and pulled up the reins and came over: "Master Jiu..."
Although according to seniority, he is a cousin, but there is a difference between seniority and inferiority, so it is still a courtesy.
Princes who have not been ennobled are treated better than Prince Heshuo. Even when they see Prince Heshuo, they do not kneel down and bow to each other, but hold hands. The same goes for the prince, Beile, and Beizi.
If you are below the size of a shell, you must be treated like a prince.
"It's dawn, change horses!"
Brother Ninth got off the carriage directly.
Norob is only performing the duty of guard, so naturally he will not stop him.
However, when he saw Brother Jiu helping Shu Shu out of the carriage and seeing Shu Shu dressed in riding clothes, he couldn't help but dissuade him: "Master Jiu, you are very exposed outside..."
Brother Jiu's face sank, feeling unhappy and wanting to scold him.
Shu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and blessed Norob: "Third uncle..."
Norob hurriedly avoided it and nodded in return: "Fujin is well..."
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded, glanced at his wife, and then at Norobu. Thinking of the relationship between the two, he immediately felt embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "I will take Fujin to ride a horse for a while, so as not to be bumpy in the car..."
Shu Shu smiled and explained: "My niece is impatient to ride in the car..."
While talking, He Yuzhu and Xiao Song came over with their horses.
He Yuzhu is leading a red and white horse, a Mongolian horse given by Princess Heshuo Kejing. It is of medium size but has good endurance and is suitable for riding.
The one Xiao Song was holding was naturally Shu Shu's mount, the little red horse "Coral", which had the bloodline of Tianshan horses and had a majestic and majestic body.
When he picked up the horse yesterday, Brother Jiu didn't think anything about it. He only thought that Shu Shu's mount looked quite handsome.
But when the two horses are put together, the contrast is obvious. The red and white horses are one head shorter and look less impressive.
Brother Jiu was a little disdainful.
The tenth brother and the thirteenth brother have changed their horses and are riding over.
"Brother Ninth, why aren't you leaving? Aren't you going to Yaoting before noon? Don't delay!"
The tenth prince was still thinking about the ingredients for the palace and kept urging.
The Thirteenth Brother's eyes were glued to "Coral" and he said with envy: "Brother Ninth, this horse is so majestic!"
His mount is a young Mongolian green horse that has just grown up and is not very high at the shoulders.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu didn't deny it. He was very moved and looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu smiled and nodded slightly.
The horse Ama specially selected for her has a very docile temperament and does not reject strangers.
Brother Jiu didn't act rashly. He took the riding whip from He Yuzhu first, then pulled the reins of "Coral" and touched the horse's temples. He didn't get on the horse in a hurry. Instead, he helped Shu Shu get on the horse first, and then turned over and sat astride her. behind...
