Kangxi remained calm and said, "What's the matter with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It's not about asking Ma Qi to come over. If there's anything we can't decide, you can just look for Ma Qi from now on. You don't have to come to the imperial court..."
Otherwise, a good minister of the Ministry of Revenue could serve as the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It's because there are similarities between the Minister of Household Affairs and the Director-General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
One is the Prime Minister’s National Finance Office, and the other is the Prime Minister’s Ministry of Internal Affairs Finance.
Otherwise, he would have to deal with this trivial matter?
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "It's a matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Having said this, he looked around.
In addition to Liang Jiugong serving beside him, there was also a eunuch in charge of pens and two eunuchs from the imperial tea room.
Brother Jiu shut his mouth and acted cautiously.
Kangxi's heart moved and he nodded to Liang Jiugong.
Did this mean that something was wrong with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
It's not just a matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but does it concern the royal family or the clan?
Liang Jiugong walked to the door and whispered to the three eunuchs to go down.
Then, after Liang Jiugong came in, he did not go in front of the emperor. He bowed and guarded the door of Nuange.
The ninth elder brother then took a few steps forward and said: "Khan Ama, my son couldn't sleep all night last night. Due to his own situation, he thought of the younger elder brother in the eldest brother's house, fearing that someone is plotting against the royal bloodline... My son, please check with the princess... …”
Kangxi's face suddenly fell.
"Yinzhen, do you know what you are talking about?"
Kangxi was angry.
The place where the princess is not is in Liang Jiugong.
Yang Na'an is not too forward-looking, and she always knows how to disturb her. How can I, a grandson, dare to offend?
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Khan Ama, my son is a prince. There are no slaves who dare to scheme against my son. My sisters are strong, but the rewards around them are generous... Khan Ama has also seen the courage of those servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We have seen it." There’s nothing I dare to do yet…”
Kangxi frowned.
As early as January, before the incident at Xiqi Institute was revealed, Kangxi ordered Zhao Chang to investigate the A Ge Institute and Zhaoxiang Institute.
It’s not that I’m afraid that others will deceive the Lord.
There are no flaws in what Zhaoxiang does well.
In the East Seventh Institute, Concubine Rong arranged for distant relatives to go there as errands and did not interfere in the prince's family affairs.
In Dongqi Institute, an elder brother arranged for an in-law of the Shang family to be the steward of the prince's kitchen. It was found that I hired the manpower myself and no one else interfered.
In the West Eighth Institute, after Concubine Wen Xi passed away, all the people who had nothing to do with the Niu Hulu family were brought back to the House of Internal Affairs.
In the Seventh West Institute, the Seventeenth Brother promoted members of the Li family and in-laws. He didn't have any big thoughts. It was human nature and within the tolerance range.
As for the princess, Kangxi didn't even think about it.
After all, my elder brother is the one who is in charge.
The elder brother was born in Zhaoxiang, and when he was one year old, he lived with his biological mother or adoptive mother in the eighth house of the east and west.
At the age of eight, he went to study in the lower study, moved out of the palace, and entered his elder brother's house.
If you are older, it may be possible if the wet nurse or nanny uses control.
Just like the fourth elder brother.
He seems to be stupid, and he has been coaxed by the nanny next to him for more than ten years.
On the princess side, after the age of eight, she is the same as the prince. Before the age of eight, she lives in the princess residence southeast of Liang Jiugong.
There are all breast care eunuchs around you.
Kangxi's face was still ugly, and he said: "How to check? Bring all the breast guards around the princess to the Criminal Punishment Department?"
It would be fine if something was really found out, but if all the trouble was in vain, where would the princess's face be?
There are no nannies or nannies, they are still male family members of high-ranking officials, and they have no duty to teach the princess the rules.
Your character will be questioned, and the princess's education will also be questioned.
Since the fourth elder brother came to the Queen to ask for orders, he came unprepared.
Shu Shu and I haven't discussed this matter yet.
The most complicated way is not to check the property of those nursing mothers.
Banner people's property transfers and land sales must go through the Four Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It's extremely complicated to figure out those people's assets.
Confirm the household registration and go to the Siqi Division to check the documents of the house, house and property.
When the time comes, it will be clear that the source of the huge wealth is not the source.
It is enough to prove that there is no ghost in it.
It is all based on that, and then explore the situation of each family, the status of the husband and children.
The husband and wife did not spend money on errands, and the expenses for the marriage of the son and son did not exceed the income from outside the family.
As long as traces are revealed, it is not always possible to catch them.
If you are not careful, if you are greedy for money, you will keep it secretly, and if you are content with poverty, you may be as bold as a mouse and make a small mistake; or if you are guilty and have no small plan.
It doesn’t matter which one it is, when the time comes, people will stare at it to tell whether it is the right one or not.
There are few people working outside the palace. Do the masters have any secrets, and the slaves also have no secrets.
Kangxi's eyes narrowed, and his heart trembled.
Is it possible to clarify household assets through land and house registration in the Four Banners Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Only the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot conduct such inspections. Civil and military officials, royal families, and princes all conduct such inspections!
My expression changed. I looked at Brother Si, and with a bit of inquiry, I said, "Why do you think of starting from the Ministry of Household Affairs? Is it because of Ma Qi?"
The fourth elder brother shook his head, glanced at Kangxi, and came up with an explanation: "Did Khan Ama let his son read "Xiao Qing Lu"? His son remembered Gui Dan's lawsuit against Dong E's silver house. At that time, in addition to "Xiao Qing Lu", there were also Regarding the "Four Banners", when my son went out looking for books in January, he looked for them together..."
Kangxi felt that it was pleasing that the fourth elder brother was over.
What kind of look is this? !
As if it was a joke on my forgetfulness.
If you ask me yourself, I will give a good answer, no, and then ask myself the other way around? What's wrong with that?
Kangxi said with a straight face: "Nonsense! If everyone can check other people's property, is this a mess? This can set a precedent!"
In this case, who can guarantee that there is no secretive thing going on.
Families in the four banners know each other well.
If one family loses power and another family wants to annex its property, it is possible to "prescribe the right medicine" by checking the family background.
The fourth elder brother was very satisfied: "It is for others to investigate again. Khan Ama's last secret decree was to be told to others, so that only his son and the little man know it. Is it okay?"
Kangxi asked Zuo in front of him: "Can he guarantee that the news was leaked?"
The doctor, chief officer, and writing style of the Four Flags Division are all used. A minister and a prince's brother go to the official position?
It has been nearly a month since the Four Banners entered the customs. The relevant documents can be said to be as vast as the sea, and there are always several houses. How can I find them?
Fourth elder brother was speechless.
It is indeed done to perfection.
But that is indeed the most direct and effective way.
Kangxi's expression was solemn: "I allowed him to thoroughly investigate the princess's office, but he must do it privately. It was Xu Xiaoxiao who alerted the Queen Mother, and it was Xu You who directly mentioned people without proof, hurting the princesses' dignity..."
After hearing this, Brother Si's face became determined, and he seemed to hesitate to speak.
Kangxi said slowly: "What? It's just a trick, but it's troublesome?!"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "Khan Ama, it's because of that. From now on, my son only wants to investigate, and he also wants to deal with people... The son was thinking about it, and after getting the evidence, he asked his son Fujin to report the matter to the Crown Princess in private. , it would be more appropriate for the Crown Princess to come forward to punish..."
Those words seemed like hypocrisy, and Kangxi doubted his own eyes.
In this way, I became sober.
"It's to establish prestige in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why is he tossing this over that?"
Kangxi noticed the anxiety and sadness under his fourth brother.
Is it just because of Nanny Liu's matter, or the matter of the eldest brother of Zhijun Prince's Mansion?
Kangxi is a believer.
I looked directly at Brother Si and said with dignity: "Yinzhen, he needs to know that the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are child's play, and he can only think of it..."
The fourth elder brother raised his head and looked at the emperor, but outside his mind he thought of his wife's words, "Go straight on the trail."
What happened to Princess Cha, what happened to Brother Cha, why is it possible?
Brother Eleven has been his younger brother for seventeen years, and also been Khan Amma’s son for seventeen years!
Thinking of this, Fourth Brother's eyes were red and he said hoarsely: "Khan Ama, my son is so happy... I have been so happy since a month ago, and my son suddenly fell ill..."
Kangxi swallowed the words he wanted to scold when they reached his lips, but his tone was still gentle and impatient: "Did the imperial doctor change the prescription? It's not healed yet, why are you thinking about that..."
Brother Si felt that his voice was not too distant, but he still spoke in a muddled tone.
"A month ago, when the news about Grandma Liu came out, my son went to investigate the chief eunuch and nanny of the Seventh House..."
Eight years had passed since the incident, so Kangxi naturally had vague memories of the prince's death.
The chief eunuch was punished and sent to Cining Palace to clean up the mess.
The nanny who was the foreman was dismissed from her job.
Kangxi was delighted and said: "Does he think I am a sober insect that no one can deceive?! I personally checked the Eleventh Brother's pulse case, and there are some discrepancies..."
The fourth elder brother looked at Kangxi's attitude and felt despair in his heart.
I drooped my head and said: "This nanny died before leaving the palace, and my husband then married the widow of the Jin family to fill the house... The boy of the Jin family was still sweeping the house at the end of August, and his son Fujin chose When I was a candidate, my son Fujin chose someone else, and that little girl Jin entered the Zhaoxiang Institute through the internal management office in early January..."
After Brother Si finished speaking in one breath, the depression in his heart dissipated.
Kangxi was very surprised when he heard this.
Yes, I also heard a few key points.
"Dead", "Jin Family", "Inner Management Office", "Zhaoxiang Office".
Kangxi looked at his fourth elder brother.
Fourth elder brother looked up at Kangxi with complaints in his eyes.
Is that the Forbidden City of Khan Yangna?
Should you hide everything from me? !
Kangxi felt gentle in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with the Jin family? Is it a worthy family?"
He specially goes to camp next to the prince's elder brother, and his heart is to be killed.
The fourth elder brother curled his lips and said: "It's not a special one. It's my son's aunt's natal family, so my son finds it strange. Is it true that such a family is trying to flatter their son's mother by working outside the palace? How do they get to the point where they are in charge? It’s over…”
The collar of the inner tube, the forehead diagram...
Kangxi's own personnel arrangements will naturally keep chaos in mind.
I looked at Brother Si, and my mind went back and forth a thousand times.
Does that mean there is no quarrel with Yuqing Palace?
Or is there no one else behind it?
Kangxi suppressed his anger and scolded: "It's ridiculous! The wind, horse and cattle are related matters, but let him make up a story! It's to think wildly, to be suspicious all day long, and the Qi Shangwai is Ansheng..."
That result was not what Si Age intended.
I mustered up the courage to speak out about what I had done, but I also knew that empty talk was just speculation and there was no proof.
I was dejected, lowered my head, and said in a low voice: "Yes, my son has realized his mistake..."
I admit my mistake, but I want to change it.
Since there is no hope from Khan Ama's side, let's check it out quickly.
If you are really "suspecting your neighbor and stealing an axe", just thinking blindly is a waste of energy.
If I am really not wronged, even if the prince wants to protect Suo'etu, I will definitely find a way to get revenge.
Fourth Brother has many plans in mind.
Seeing my half-dead but still alive virtue, Kangxi was heartbroken. He waved his hands and said: "Go up, and every time you go forward... choose a day in ten days to go to the Empress. If there is nothing pending, let's report it together!" "
Kangxi originally wanted to say January, but he changed his mind because his fourth elder brother was older and did not have the complicated affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Fourth Brother nodded and responded respectfully.
If nothing happens, I will rarely come to the Queen's home!
When the fourth elder brother came in, Kangxi's expression said yes.
Yang Na'an stood at the door, her chin hitting her chest.
Mom, why are you so diligent? !
You should have entered the Nuan Pavilion just now!
Hearing is seeing, hearing is seeing!
Kangxi looked over.
Yang Na'an had no choice but to retreat.
Kangxi's expression was simple: "Did his servants hear what the fourth elder brother said? Does he think it's because the fourth elder brother is suspicious, or there is really nothing weird about it..."
If anyone else, Ningshou Palace dared to speak less.
But now His Majesty's asking is enough to prove that Your Majesty, I, the old man, have given up listening to me.
Ningshou Palace felt that it was "adding insult to injury" to these bastards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and that it was giving a helping hand to the poor and amiable Fourth Master.
I thought about it carelessly, weighed what I was going to say several times, and then said: "I'm just thinking about it, I'm afraid the fourth master is too careful..."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? He thinks those are all nonsense?"
Yang Na'an nodded or shook her head and said: "I'm stupid, but the truth is clear. I'm not thinking about the mental illness mentioned by the Fourth Master. Maybe I'm just thinking about the Eleventh Master and the Seventeenth Princess..."
Seventeen Gege, born from Wu Ya, the concubine of Yonghe Palace, was born on the 77th day of the seventh month in the seventy-seventh year of Kangxi, and died on the fourth day of the eighth month in the eighty-eighth year of Kangxi, at the age of seventeen.
