Ninth Prince could think of this, how could Kangxi not think of it?
He was thinking even further.
The people arranged by the Niu Hulu family were definitely not for other princes, but for the tenth prince.
Perhaps because he was discovered by the imperial concubine or for other reasons, he was assigned to the eighth and ninth princes.
Before this year's draft, Aling'a was optimistic about Brother Jiu's intentions.
It was only during Kangxi's reign that the candidates for Jiufu Jin were placed in Niu Hulu's family.
In fact, this is not normal.
A normal person would definitely want to get closer to the prince's nephew.
Just like the Tong family back then, they sent two cousins to the palace.
There was also the Hesheli family, who had also been thinking about the position of crown princess.
If Kangxi had not chosen Guarjia as the crown princess early on, the two girls of the right age in the Hesheli family would still have stayed at home and would not be allowed to marry.
But Aling'a never thought of marrying her daughter to the tenth prince.
I have no intention of treating the tenth prince as my own flesh and blood.
Kangxi was unhappy.
Regardless of the relationship between Aling'a and his half-brother Faka, it should not be related to the tenth prince.
Not only is Faka the uncle of the tenth prince, but Aling'a is also the uncle of the tenth prince.
If Yao Zixiao hadn't exposed the truth, or going further, if the Tong family hadn't revealed the identity of Mrs. Aling'a, the Niu Hulu clan would have become the Jiufu Jin. With such an insider, he could have a good grasp of the prince's inner court.
This convenience seems harmless, but in fact it causes endless disasters.
Who can guarantee that such deployment of manpower will be the only one?
Not only the Niu Hulu family, but also the Hesheli family and the Tong family who were more involved with the inner court.
Kangxi felt that he should check it out.
There are still several queens who were alive...
Even Concubine Rong was able to arrange for her relatives to move into her elder brother's house. What steps did those three people take when they took charge of the harem?
The death of the concubine’s eldest son and his legitimate eldest son…
Although he was young at the time, he was still in his seventh year.
Since when have there been so many children in the palace?
It was the eldest brother and the third brother who were fostered outside the palace, it was I who handed over the crown prince to Concubine Rong to raise, it was my cousin who personally took care of the fourth brother, and it was the fifth brother who brought the prince to the Queen Mother...
This is a place where women in the palace cannot or cannot interfere.
Kangxi's heart was filled with turmoil, but he didn't show it on his face. He only ordered: "This matter involves the eighth and tenth elder brothers. It's better for you not to investigate further. Leave it to Zhao Chang..."
Since Brother Ninth chose to come to Qing Palace, he naturally wanted to use his strength.
You can do twice the result with half the effort, and it's not as good as the emperor's instructions.
I just thought that Yao Zixiao had served him for more than ten years and had betrayed his master before. Such instigation was not the right intention, but it was different from trying to kill his master.
The ninth elder brother still softened his heart and said: "Khan Ama, Yao Zixiao came to serve his son when he was ten years old. Even if others arranged to enter the palace, it was not his original intention. He has not made any major mistakes in these years. If he waits until he is interrogated, , If there is no other big mistake, please Khan Amma spare this slave’s life!”
Kangxi glared at him: "A woman's kindness!"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not..."
I don't know why, but at this moment, he had a feeling of Shu Shu in his mind, and hesitated for a moment: "My son just wants to accumulate some merit for himself..."
Kangxi snorted softly and said impatiently: "I will not kill him in vain, nor will I wrongly accuse him. You should leave soon and don't be an eyesore in front of me..."
A good young man, but after a little setback, his letter is messed up. Look for an opportunity later and give him a hard lesson.
Brother Jiu didn't want to stay anymore when he saw his bad attitude, but when he thought about what the princess said, he had to report it carefully.
After hearing this, Kangxi looked gloomy, nodded and said: "I understand, let's continue investigating..."
When the ninth elder brother went down, Kangxi looked at Zhao Chang with a bad look.
Zhao Chang couldn't wait to cry out for injustice.
In July, the emperor only asked him to check other elder brothers' offices to see if any slaves were bullying their masters, but he didn't say to check anything else.
His eyes were all on the palace, and he didn't pay attention to the outside of the palace at all.
Kangxi said disgustedly: "The eunuchs around my brother can all think of this. You have been working for so many years and you haven't thought of this?"
"The slave was negligent..."
Zhao Chang did not defend himself and accepted his mistake.
Kangxi said calmly: "After a thorough investigation from the ninth to the twenty-eighth year, the mothers and women in charge of the three offices of Kunning Palace, Changshou Palace and Jingren Palace..."
Zhao Chang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and agreed.
Kunning Palace is the residence of the queen, as well as this dynasty. It was once the residence of the Empress of Yuan Dynasty and her successors.
The longevity palace is the dormitory in front of the Kunning palace.
Jingren Palace is the residence of Queen Tong during her lifetime.
Your Majesty, do you want to check on the old friends of the three late empresses? !
What does it mean? !
*
When Brother Jiu left Qianqing Palace, his steps were much lighter.
The big things that he was pressing on in his heart were no big deal at all when they were left in the hands of Khan Amma.
As for what happened to the eleventh brother in advance, there is still no evidence, it is just speculation. Does Khan Ama dare to relax now?
Most of the eunuchs in my elder brother's office are rough eunuchs, responsible for sweeping the house.
There are only five eunuchs beside the prince, including Manager Cui.
How many eunuchs are there in Qianqing Palace?
If I don't check it carefully, I'm afraid Khan and Ama won't be able to sleep?
Brother Jiu sighed inwardly at himself.
If you are not filial enough, how can you take pleasure in others' misfortune? !
It shouldn't be.
But he still raised the corners of his mouth.
When it concerns oneself, will Khan Amma still think about turning big things into small things and turning trivial things into small things?
If the emperor's safety is at stake, will Khan Amma still care about Yuqing Palace's face and turn a blind eye to Suo'etu's actions?
Brother Ninth didn't even return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He went straight out of the Qing Gate, turned east, and went straight to the Zongren Mansion.
It was inappropriate to tell Brother Ten about this before, but now it's okay.
The Yamen of the Zongren Mansion is on the east side of Qipan Street, in a row with the Yamen of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Rites, and is at the far north.
Brother Jiu was wearing regular clothes with a yellow belt, and was followed by a eunuch. He looked like the clan master.
However, in the Zongren Mansion, except for the Fu Cheng and Bi Tie Shi, who are Qi Que, the other officials are all from the clan or Jueluo Que, and the most indispensable one is the clan master.
Brother Jiu took a stroll and was curious.
However, there was a clan member on duty, a clan general whom he had just met at the Zhijun Prince's Mansion the night before yesterday. He recognized Brother Ninth and hurriedly came forward.
The prince is so precious that the general hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.
The ninth elder brother didn't want to talk to him, but he immediately recognized that this was not only the prince's brother-in-law, but also an in-law of the Dutong Mansion. He was a bit polite and said, "Is the tenth elder brother here? I'm here to find him..."
The general politely led the way to Brother Ten's exclusive room before saying goodbye.
The house is not big, just two rooms inside and outside.
There are two tables outside, and two people are sitting there.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother is a yellow belt, he stood up to greet him.
Brother Jiu nodded and continued walking inside.
There was a big table inside with files placed on it. Brother Ten was looking down at something.
Hearing the movement outside, Brother Ten raised his head, showing surprise.
"Brother Ninth, why are you here free?"
Brother Jiu came in and saw a place that was only one foot square. He looked around and said with disgust: "Why is it so small? It's not because they rely on their old age to bully you, right?"
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "It's not too small, the clan's room is only so big..."
There are about a hundred people in the clan's residence.
Among them, the highest imperial order is selected from among princes and county kings.
Secondly, there is Zongzheng on the left and right, shot by Beile and Beizi, one person each.
Below are the left and right clan members, including the Zhen Guo Gong, Fu Guo Gong and the general, each of whom is also photographed.
The rest are Fu Cheng, Lang Zhong, Yuan Wai Lang, Principal, Hall Principal, Experience, Bi Tie Style and Efficiency Bi Tie Style.
In fact, Zong Ling and Zong Zheng did not sit in government offices.
There are two clan members sitting in the Yamen office.
The chief official is Fu Cheng.
The tenth prince is just here to learn how to do errands, and he is treated the same as the clan members, which is already preferential treatment.
Brother Jiu said: "What should I do for dinner? Don't think about it, it will ruin your stomach..."
Brother Jiu has never eaten the big pot rice in the yamen, but he has heard about it for a long time.
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Ninth elder brother, don't worry, my younger brother will not be wrong and ask someone to send it away from elder brother..."
Brother Jiu nodded, and after thinking about the distance between the Zongren Mansion and the inner hall, which was less than a mile, he said: "Don't be too rigid. Since it is close to the inner hall, it is not risky to go around more often." Then come to the door and find an excuse..."
Speaking of this, he gave advice to the tenth prince: "The food supply in the inner hall is from the Lifanyuan. I took a look at it first, and it is normal. You asked someone to take the money to the imperial dining room and ask for more cakes. Send the cake over, it looks exquisite and decent..."
He also thought that the Mongolians couldn't live without free food, but there was no such thing in the supply of the inn, so he said: "I'll ask the Second Institute to make some milk pancakes later, and I can give them another one when the time comes..."
The tenth prince smiled and listened.
Even if Brother Jiu didn't remind him, he planned to go there.
Just thinking about what day to choose.
The most appropriate thing is to deliver porridge before Laba Festival, which is also a legitimate reason.
The ninth elder brother thought of Abahai Taiji, the future uncle of the tenth elder brother.
He is a honest and reliable Mongolian man.
He is relatively familiar with Taiji, the prince of these tribes in the inner hall, so maybe he should pay a visit.
So, he said to the tenth brother: "It is better to choose a day than to hit it. You will send someone over soon to send a message saying that we will go to visit Taiji tomorrow..."
The tenth prince immediately ordered someone to take his name card and go to the inner hall.
Brother Jiu had already muttered to him: "If it were not your uncle but your father-in-law who came here, let him know what the secret palace medicine is, and maybe I could give you a sister-in-law or brother-in-law..."
The tenth elder brother couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Brother Jiu reacted, rolled his eyes at him, and smiled himself.
Maybe he said it himself.
Khan Amma is also nourishing.
Otherwise, if there were so many concubines in the harem, more than ten or twenty people would agree to the Qing palace, which would be unbearable for ordinary people.
After finishing his gossip, Brother Jiu remembered the business and stood at the door, waving his hand to the two people outside, signaling them to go out.
The two of them were already on pins and needles, and after receiving the signal, they hurriedly bowed and left.
Who else can be called "Ninth Brother" by the Tenth Brother?
It was the son of the favored concubine, the 16-year-old Ninth Prince who acted as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother 10 stopped laughing, his mind was racing, and he couldn't guess the reason for the moment.
Brother Ninth did not sell it out, but whispered about Yao Zixiao's incident and the involvement of Duke Niu Hulu behind it.
The tenth brother's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Ninth was dragged down by his younger brother. At such an age, he entered the palace two years before we selected the eunuch Haha Pearl. This is the person prepared for my younger brother..."
Brother Jiu nodded: "I also thought of this first. It must be behind your mother's back, otherwise I wouldn't have caused trouble..."
Hiding Concubine Wen Xi's secret, who would believe An's good intentions?
Brother Jiu couldn't help but feel afraid: "Fortunately, I wasn't assigned to your side, otherwise I don't know what would have happened if I had been ordered..."
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and sighed in his heart.
Why weren't you assigned to him?
His Haha Pearl eunuchs were not just the four in front of him from beginning to end.
It was also changed at the earliest time.
There was an eunuch named Haha Beads who coaxed him to play with the gadgets from the market outside. While he was reading, he was thinking of ways to cause trouble.
Let E Niang see it and find an excuse to change it.
I remember it clearly.
Brother Ninth was still too sleepy and playful at the time, and didn't even notice that his younger brother's follower had changed...
The tenth elder brother said: "Ninth elder brother, when the house is being built next year, Khan Ama will have his mouth sealed..."
Even if the title is not officially conferred, it is still necessary to mention the regulations according to which the house was built.
"If Khan Amma builds his younger brother's mansion according to the county prince's mansion, my younger brother wants to ask for an order to make Yin De the chief historian of the palace. If it is built according to Baylor's mansion first, let him be the chief of ceremonies..."
