Shu Shu was shocked and looked at Brother Jiu speechless.
Although the head of the House of Internal Affairs sounds like a royal butler, he actually has great power and a high status.
If the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs becomes vacant, he will be selected from among the royal family princes, internal ministers, ministers of the six departments, and ministers, or he will be filled by promotion from among the Manchu guards, ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ministers of the three courtyards.
The number of stewards is not fixed, but is usually three.
Since the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, a general manager was promoted, and in the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, one of the general managers died of illness. There was only one person left, Hilasun, and there has been no replacement.
It’s actually Brother Jiu who is acting as the agent!
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu's expression and suppressed a smile: "It's nothing. Didn't Khan Ama just ask me to go to the manufacturing office..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Congratulations, Master..."
As she said that, she pointed to the temporary small stove in the back room and said: "Why is there nothing? I don't have to think about the small stove anymore... I have to find a way to eat the hundred eggs I got back yesterday. , otherwise you have to go back..."
Brother Jiu also laughed.
Shu Shu wanted to understand the key.
This was the second time that mistakes had been made in the diet. Kangxi no longer trusted the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In addition, the performance of the ninth elder brother was so pitiful that the prince's elder brother did not even dare to eat the special dishes in the imperial dining room...
Kangxi naturally had to think carefully about forcing the prince's elder brother to do this.
Shu Shu originally thought that this way of applying eye drops was childish, but it could only be done once or twice, but she didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect.
The thirteenth elder brother added from the side: "Not only is the ninth brother acting in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also the seventh brother is in charge of the affairs of the officers and soldiers of the Three Banners..."
Due to family connections, Shu Shu was fairly familiar with the military system of the Eight Banners, but was a little unfamiliar with the military system of the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu saw that she was confused and explained from the side: "It is mainly a guard camp. It is a three-banner vest selection with a quota of 1,200 people. It is one of the imperial guards... usually there is a garrison in the palace. This area was originally under the jurisdiction of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Masika, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was in charge in the thirty-fourth year, moved with a yellow flag to lead the minister of bodyguards. The guard camp was also under the name of the minister of bodyguards. Now it has been moved back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is temporarily under the control of Brother Seven..."
Shu Shu understood and was only happy.
Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no good fruit to eat.
The two princes and elder brothers were sent out at once, and they took the power and the soldiers. The remaining people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no room for resistance other than lying down and being sorted out.
"By the way, before we came back just now, we went to Fifth Brother's place first. The imperial doctor happened to be there, and he said that Panax notoginseng powder was the right symptom... Fifth Brother asked me to thank you..."
Brother Jiu thought of this and said.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "As long as it suits the symptoms, it's nothing. It just happens..."
The tenth elder brother was listening and said: "Sister-in-law, are there any rich people? If you can prepare two bags for your brother, Khan Ama will allow me to march with the thirteen flags..."
Shu Shu nodded in agreement and said, "Congratulations to the tenth and thirteenth brothers..."
To hold the flag and march around is to serve as the temporary commander of a flag.
Although it is just hunting, there are also some military skills in it.
Before, Shu Shu was thinking that since the fifth elder brother was injured, the princes and elder brothers would put safety first and act cautiously in the next trip.
Unexpectedly, he was still released for training.
The perfect example of a tiger dad.
Today is a happy event, so naturally we have to celebrate it.
The small kitchen is ready-made, as are the two baskets of eggs.
The 10th elder brother started to order: "I feel tired after eating meat every day, so just eat some egg skin and cucumber shreds..."
Brother Thirteen ordered something sweet: "Thick egg pancake with milk and sugar..."
Shu Shu remembered it all, and when she ordered Xiaotang, in addition to these two, she also ordered the sweet and sour poached eggs and shredded ginkgo for lunch, as well as the egg and vegetable rolls with a light taste, and the steamed eggs with fermented rice wine that Brother Jiu liked to eat. .
There are various kinds of egg dishes on the table.
Coincidentally, the small stove here had just been prepared, and the dining room over there sent someone to deliver the meal.
Without thinking about the staple food, Shu Shu placed two plates of pasta on it.
As for this dish...
It's not the fat chicken and big knuckles from before, it's just a few familiar dishes.
It was something Shu Shu had ordered before when she wrote the menu for the Queen Mother.
Shu Shu smiled and asked Xiaotang to put it on.
Wait until the small table is set.
The princes and elder brothers all saw their favorite food, and they moved quickly.
Brother Jiu also looked satisfied while eating cheese.
Shu Shu was thinking about Kangxi's intention in this choice.
Several elder brothers have been knighted, and they say they are walking in the six departments, which means literally, there is no special errand.
Just like the fifth elder brother, when he left the capital in April, he was on an errand to inspect the rivers in Gyeonggi Province.
When he returned to the capital, he handed over the errand.
This time the Holy Spirit was on his northern tour, and the eldest brother and the third brother were on duty as guards.
When the holy driver sets off and settles down, the various guards and guards are in charge of the minister in charge of the guards, and supervised by the two princes and elder brothers.
When Shengjia returns to Beijing, this errand will definitely be relieved.
The minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is often in short supply.
Kangxi passed over several older sons who were ennobled, and asked his 16-year-old son who had not been ennobled to act. Why?
As for the seventh elder brother, he is physically ill. Even if there is a change in the storage position, it will not fall on him.
In this way, he had less stake in the prince.
Ninth elder brother...
Pretty much the same thing.
Physical illness is not good for heirs.
Not to mention that he is a mediocre brother who has no outstanding talent. Even if he has good qualifications, with this shortcoming, those who want to follow the dragon's merits must weigh it.
It was to protect the prince.
Shu Shu felt that she had to have a good chat with Brother Jiu in the evening. If she wanted to sit in this position for a long time, she had to suppress her dissatisfaction with the prince.
Otherwise, if it is exposed and there is a rift with Yuqing Palace, the steward will not last long.
She remembered clearly that Kangxi seemed to have promoted the prince's nanny to the position of general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the convenience of the prince's supply.
After finishing the meal, the Thirteenth Brother thought about the eggs that had just filled the table, and asked the Ninth Brother curiously: "Did the Ninth Brother do it on purpose? He set up a small dining room properly, and even the Queen Mother did not set up a separate one... …”
Brother Jiu didn't answer, but explained: "Thirteen, remember, don't spoil those slaves, Nada. This Forbidden City is Khan Amma's Forbidden City, not the wrapped Forbidden City..."
The Prince's Palace and Baylor's Palace outside are almost in repair. Early next year, these brothers who have been ennobled will leave the palace and open their mansions.
When the time comes, the two younger brothers, the Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother, who have been crowded in Zhaoxiang's House for many years, will move to the Brother's House.
Brother Thirteen nodded honestly, with a bit of expectation: "Then... when the time comes, my younger brother will be neighbors with Brother Ninth?"
There are six princes who are preparing to leave the palace and open a mansion, and the Qiandong Fifth House and Qianxi Tou House where they live will be empty.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Brother Jiu asked puzzledly: "Don't you occupy Qiandongtou?"
According to the repair time, the five Qianxi houses were repaired first, and the five Qiandong houses were repaired later, so the houses and yards on the east side are newer.
The Thirteenth Brother shook his head quickly: "I want to live next to the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother, and go to Qianxitoushuo..."
Brother Jiu didn't care and nodded: "It's up to you. Anyway, a lot of yards will be empty by then..."
Shu Shu was listening, thinking of Brother Fourteen.
He's just a naughty kid, he doesn't seem to care about the order of birth.
She must remind the Thirteenth Brother: "If the Thirteenth Brother has this idea, find an opportunity to talk to the Emperor... Make a report in advance and avoid any changes..."
Brother Thirteen understood, nodded, and kept it in mind.
The tenth elder brother remembered something: "Brother Ninth is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so isn't it Brother Ninth who will handle my younger brother's marriage?"
Everyone just thought of this.
Brother Ninth smiled and said: "I forgot about this. Don't worry, Brother Ninth has appointed you to do it decently..."
The tenth elder brother calculated and said: "The wedding date is planned for February next year. I'm afraid they will send someone to Beijing to get married by the end of the year, which will be soon..."
Brother Jiu was confused as he listened.
Could it be that Khan Amma asked him to act as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for Lao Shi's wedding?
If you do something else yourself, will it make Khan Amma unhappy?
Brother Jiu is not a fool. He naturally knows that whether this job can last long depends on his own performance.
If you don't perform well, your agency will be terminated at any time.
When the two younger brothers were ready to leave, Brother Jiu followed them out.
After sending the thirteenth elder brother back, he said to the tenth elder brother: "Ahma Khan appointed me to be the general manager. What does it mean? I am confused..."
The tenth elder brother thought a lot, but he couldn't say it in front of the ninth elder brother, for fear that it would show up on his face, so he just said: "If there is anything you are not sure about, we brothers should discuss it more and ask my sister-in-law more... I just hide it." Keep some people around so that my concubine won’t be upset if she finds out..."
Brother Jiu nodded and listened.
When I got back, I asked Shu Shu about it.
"Where should I start?"
Brother Ninth was a little high-spirited: "The moths in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are definitely not limited to the palace..."
After hearing this, Shu Shu's heart trembled, and she reminded: "Didn't I just say white face and red face before? Why did you forget?"
Thousands of people pointed it out and died without any disease.
There is a subtle metaphysics in this sentence.
Among the Legalists of all dynasties, few died well.
Brother Jiu was stunned, his brows were furrowed, and he said after a while: "Ama Khan pushed me out, didn't he just want me to make a fool of myself..."
Seeing that he had gone astray, Shu Shu hurriedly said: "That may not be the case... The emperor suppressed the prince's injury yesterday, but he still wanted stability and did not want big changes..."
Brother Jiu was unhappy and said: "How about I go over there to make decorations? You can't really just prepare for Lao Shi's wedding..."
Shu Shu wanted to popularize to him the workplace philosophy of "do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and don't do better", but felt that he was too negative and tired.
This suits her, not Brother Nine.
Otherwise, Kangxi would feel that his son could not stand up and was not responsible for his affairs.
She said: "There is no need to be impatient, wait until we get to know each other better, and it won't be easy to make mistakes... As for the prince, I am still respectful and have more supplies, so that the emperor, who feels sorry for his son, will not accuse the prince's people of internal affairs." Mansion…”
It is normal for there to be two or three people in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Crown Princess holds the power of the palace, and if the people around the Crown Prince go to the House of Internal Affairs to appoint a general manager, then the ninth prince, the general manager, will be constrained.
Brother Jiu smiled strangely: "Don't worry, this supply is only sufficient. If it is short, it will not be short of Yuqing Palace..."
