He Yuzhu stayed up all night in the Shenxing Department, and Brother Jiu sent him down to rest.
However, after listening to Shu Shu's reminder and going to the imperial court to complain, Brother Jiu naturally wanted to know as much detail as possible.
When Brother Ninth passed by the wing in the front yard, he picked up He Yuzhu and said, "Follow me to the imperial palace to prevent Khan Amma from asking..."
Khan Amma is not the kind of person who believes what others say. He will only be convinced after asking and then sending someone to verify.
He Yuzhu didn't dare to delay, washed his face with cold water, and followed him out.
They were all old people around him. Even if Yao Zixiao appeared, Brother Jiu had no intention of angering the others.
Where can everyone be Yao Zixiao?
I'm not actually stupid either.
Yao Zixiao didn't pay much attention to his master before, and he was aware of it. He only thought that he was reading incorrectly and was not good at serving others, so he paid more attention to other people.
Thinking about it now, maybe Yao Zixiao did it on purpose and was unwilling to be a slave.
Really, when you enter the palace, you will be waiting for others.
If you don't like it, you shouldn't take this path.
Asking Sun Jin to pass the buns to He Yuzhu, Brother Jiu said: "Let's deal with two people first, and we will eat when we come back later..."
He Yuzhu thanked the favor and wolfed down the two cabbage buns.
Unexpectedly, Sun Jin's place, after a day's investigation, would yield results.
Shigege's nanny, Mr. He, was born in an ordinary family. In the past few years, her life has improved and she has built two houses in the outer city. I heard that the family also put a lot of money away to earn profits.
It was also Sun Jin who was clever.
There are currently six princesses in the palace, the youngest of whom, Sixteen Princess, is still young and lives in the West Sixth Palace.
There are five remaining princesses who are raised in Ningshou Palace.
The nine grids produced by De Fei.
The ten grids produced by the noble Uranala.
The thirteen and fifteen grids produced by Zhang Bin.
The fourteen grids produced by the royal concubine.
This concubine is not the biological mother of the fifteenth and sixteenth princes. That one is the concubine of the Yonghe Palace, and this one is the concubine of the Changchun Palace.
Sun Jin started the investigation directly from the breast nurse next to Shi Gege.
Because Jiu Gege, like the fifth elder brother, was raised by the Queen Mother herself.
There is a biological mother of the fourth concubine and two brothers from the same mother. There is no way to bully Jiu Gege without opening his eyes.
Although Thirteen Gege and Fifteen Gege are not as good as Nine Gege, they are only slightly inferior. Moreover, they are still sisters from the same mother and can rely on each other.
The remaining two people, Shi Gege and Fourteen Gege.
It had only been three years since the 14th Princess moved to the princess' residence. The nurse wanted to embezzle, but he guessed that there was a limit to what he could embezzle.
Sun Jin chose Shi Gege to investigate.
As a result, within one day, we got the news.
Brother Ninth was very satisfied.
Let Khan Amma see that he is not hysterical and slandering the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but someone is greedy.
The guards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are becoming more and more courageous. They really think that the Forbidden City is their Forbidden City, and the little masters are fat.
It's not enough to take advantage. If you don't take advantage, you feel like you're at a loss.
Arriving at Qianqing Palace Square, Brother Jiu hesitated.
According to his original intention, even if Lao Shi was involved, he should have warned Lao Shi in advance.
But when he thought that the Niu Hulu family was the one to sue, he became more worried.
He thought of myna...
Before Bage entered the palace to plead guilty, Shu Shu and Lao Shi both advised him not to go to Babel Mansion...
It’s better not to go looking for Lao Shi.
Otherwise, it would be bad if others misunderstood or suspected that Lao Shi was responsible for the complaint.
In today's world, what is emphasized is that "family scandals should not be publicized", "keep taboos for the venerable", and "keep secrets from relatives".
Otherwise, even if you are selfless in your heart, you will be said to be unkind and have a bad reputation.
It's Chenzheng now, and many officials outside Jingyun Gate in the south of Qiantou Square are Hou Jian.
I was handed the green ticket this morning and the sign was turned over.
According to the rules in the palace, when an official meets his majesty, he will give him a green lottery ticket twice in the morning and evening, and wait for the emperor to turn over the sign.
The official whose sign had been turned over was waiting outside Jingyun Gate.
They were led by the chamberlains of Qianqing Palace and met in turn.
Brother Jiu didn't pay attention to this before, but now he looked at it and touched his chin.
It seems that his deputy, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has not yet made a first pick.
Don't rush this.
Otherwise, when he goes to Qianqing Palace, he will hand over the sign sooner or later like other officials waiting to see His Majesty?
If you wait until the sign is turned over to invite you, then you won’t be able to see you. It’s all Khan Amma’s decision...
This is good now.
Brother Ninth did not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first.
Being unhurried like that makes things seem unurgent and unimportant.
He stood at the door of the upper study room and happened to hear the twelfth elder brother reciting books inside.
"Gui Hai, established the prince Zhongshan Wang Chengqian as the crown prince, eight years after his birth."
When the ninth elder brother was in the study, he also read "Zizhi Tongjian" and knew that this was the Tang Ji chapter.
Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty...
Brother Jiu looked in the direction of Yuqing Palace, looking a little confused.
In the eyes of the emperor, the eldest son was different after all.
Even in the eyes of the court ministers, it was believed that when the reserve position was determined, the world would be determined.
When he came to his senses, the twelfth prince in the room had already recited the next paragraph.
"In the beginning, the emperor wanted to strengthen the clan and control the world. Therefore, the emperor's second and third concubines and his brothers' sons, including children and scholars, were all kings. There were dozens of kings..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but shake his head.
No wonder the world admires Tang Taizong instead of Tang Gaozu.
The clan is supplied by the world, but taxes are fixed.
They have all been used to support the clan. When it comes to people's livelihood issues, the court has no money to use, and many important events will be delayed.
When he heard the follow-up "In November of Gengyin, all the princes and princes of the clan will be demoted to the county, but only a few meritorious people will not be surrendered...", Brother Jiu felt that it was a wise idea that Khan Ama controlled the clan's ennobled titles.
Otherwise, just like the previous dynasty, the clan would end up with a population of one million, which would be unthinkable.
As for Khan Amma's brother Gaofeng and son Gaofeng, they are different after all.
It's the same favor. If the bloodline is far away, is it the same as if the bloodline is close?
The descendants of the emperor and the descendants of the king should not be treated as the same.
Thinking of this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but pause.
It would be better if he and Shu Shu really had no children, and it would be easier to worry about; if they did have children and grandchildren, they would be descendants of the royal family.
He touched the warm hat involuntarily.
Soft.
It's better to be an iron hat.
It was like a dream.
Brother Jiu shook his head and threw away this unrealistic thought.
Being content and always happy is the right thing to do.
Those who are dissatisfied will not have a happy life.
Seeing that the people waiting for you outside Jingyun Gate were almost gone.
Then Ma Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xiong Yixiao, the Minister of Industry, came out.
The third elder brother also followed.
It seems that today is the shift between the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.
Brother Jiu straightened his hat and stepped forward with a tight face.
The third elder brother was talking to Ma Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs.
When they met the ninth elder brother, both ministers stopped to pay their respects.
The third elder brother also saw it, stopped, looked at the ninth elder brother, and said: "The ninth elder brother is looking for Master Ma..."
Now he is on duty in the household department and is familiar with Ma Qi.
Even though he was dissatisfied with the emperor's father's allocation of Ma Qi's family to the eighth elder brother, the third elder brother did not change his attitude. He was still polite and warm to Ma Qi, like a courteous corporal.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to find Master Ma, my brother will go to the emperor to report something..."
The third elder brother's smile faded, and his tone was admonishing, and he said: "Ninth brother, now that you have an errand, you are no longer the idle elder brother you were before. Your Majesty has his own rules..."
Having said this, he glanced at He Yuzhu and Sun Jin and frowned: "According to the rules, the servants are only allowed outside Jingyun Gate and are not allowed to enter the Qianqing Palace Square..."
Brother Jiu saw that he was pretending to be a big-tailed wolf again, and wanted to fight back, but this was the gate of Qianqing Palace, and he was still in front of two ministers...
He lowered his hands and made a gesture of respect: "The third brother taught me that my younger brother must abide by the rules..."
Haha, as for the first sign, you can't follow the rules and ask for an audience from outside. There is nothing you can do about it!
Besides, he was not very well-behaved, nor did he rush to the imperial court. Every time, he would ask someone to pass the message at the door, waiting to see him.
As for He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, they were originally eunuchs traveling in the inner court, so naturally they were not treated as the same as those who accompanied the court officials.
Those rules are for those outside the palace.
Qianqing Palace Square is the boundary between the inner and outer dynasties.
In the Qing Palace alone, there were many low-level concubines.
If it's a mess and anyone can come in, it's not a mess.
But what are the eunuchs afraid of?
Even if you want to collide with the imperial concubine, you can't.
His respectful gesture stunned the third elder brother.
Could it be that Lao Jiu shamelessly went to the imperial court and was summoned?
At this moment, someone saw Brother Jiu coming and reported to the emperor.
Liang Jiugong came out and said: "The Emperor has a decree to send Brother Jiu to visit..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly bowed in response and followed Liang Jiugong in.
The third elder brother looked at the back of the ninth elder brother and asked Ma Qi out of curiosity: "Mr. Ma, apart from the thirteenth and fourteenth elders moving the palace, is there anything else going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few days?"
Ma Qi was helpless after hearing this.
Even if something really happened, could he talk about it at the gate of Qianqing Palace?
His expression remained unchanged and he said: "Master Beile knows about me. He has been at the Ministry of Household Affairs in the past few days and has never been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I really don't know this..."
The third elder brother disapproved and said: "My elder brother is young and has many shortcomings. Khan Ama appointed the master to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs just to make the master the general manager, and the master will not let go..."
Ma Qi responded respectfully: "Yes, I am slacking off. From now on, I will listen to Lord Baylor and pay more attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
While talking, the group of people walked out of Qianqing Gate.
He saw Ma Qi heading in the direction towards Daqing Gate. This was the way back to the Ministry of Household Affairs, not to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The third elder brother was anxious and wished he could stop Ma Qi and ask him to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sit down instead of spending all his time at the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
But with the Minister of Industry and Industry nearby, he couldn't say anything more.
Otherwise, it would appear that he is greedy for power and runs errands in the Ministry of Household Affairs, just like the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs...
Hey, that's what it is like when you go out on errands. You have to think carefully and don't feel guilty if you don't become a thief...
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi had been looking at Yao Zixiao's confession for a long time.
It only stated that he met with the steward of Niu Hulu's family.
The things that were given to and received from each other in private were all provided by the steward.
He also noticed that "his sister is a member of the public household" and called for He Yuzhu, who followed the entire interrogation: "Since it is written in his palace register that there is no one in the family, why is there another blood compatriot?"
He Yuzhu knelt down and replied honestly: "The head of the Shenxing Department also asked him about this matter. He said that the daughter was born after his mother remarried and was not in his household registration..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and saw that he was thoughtful, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Brother Jiu hesitated and said: "My son is thinking that there are still traces of the palace maids, and the household registration is clear, but it seems that it is quite easy for these eunuchs with civilian registrations to do tricks..."
Nine out of ten eunuchs are miserable.
Even if there is no problem in verifying the third generation, what is the reality?
Not many people actually have relatives alive.
No one had the time to check the identities of the little eunuchs one by one.
"My son was confused before and only thought that Yao Zixiao was a slave who was eager to learn, so he couldn't help him and let him serve him when he went to the study... Now that I think about it, something is wrong. It seems like he had read the book earlier and picked it up again. His conversation He is gentler than the other slaves... His cousin is also the same. He is smarter than the other slaves, which is why he wins the attention of the Eighth Brother. I am afraid that his brother had learned a lot outside before sending him here..."
