The ninth elder brother originally thought that he should have his own contribution, but when he saw that the fourth elder brother's eyes were blue and black, and his clothes were wrinkled, it was obvious that he had spent the night in the Yamen.
He felt a rare sense of embarrassment, waved his hands and said, "My brother didn't do anything, even if he spoke, it was all sorted out by Mr. Zhang Baozhuo and Gao Yanzhong."
Fourth Brother frowned and said: "Don't be nagging, let's go, it's just a good time to go there now."
The ninth elder brother didn't say anything and followed the fourth elder brother out.
Fourth Brother was already thin, but now his cheeks are even deflated after staying up late.
Brother Jiu advised: "There are so many people in the yamen, and the fourth brother also sends out the errands at hand, and has to do everything else himself."
Brother Si glanced at him, but didn't say anything else. He just said: "I'll just be busy these days and wait until the Holy Driver leaves the capital."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "The tolls on the road are all shipped here in the capital, and there is no need for local supplies. What about the pick-up from various places?"
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said helplessly: "You have been at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs all day, and you didn't ask this?"
Brother Jiu clasped his fingers and said, "My younger brother is busy. The North Garden of Changchun Garden is looking for someone to draw the drawings, and construction will start as soon as the freeze starts. The Prince's Courtyard outside the West Garden has also been arranged to have people draw the foundations. Yanxi Palace and Zhongcui The palace has been under renovation for twenty-five years, and when the two concubines and concubines leave the palace, the main hall will have to be repainted; Yuqing Palace is a small place, and several of the emperor's grandsons are getting older, so they have to move to the Xiefang Palace with the palace officials. , this is only one area that the Construction Department needs to keep an eye on, there are also other areas..."
The fourth elder brother listened in detail and said: "You just tried to persuade me, why is it your turn to be so confused?"
With so many errands, how can one person keep an eye on them?
Brother Ninth sighed and said: "They are all money-related errands. If my brother doesn't keep an eye on me, I won't worry. The men in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are very courageous!"
Other errands that do not involve large expenditures of money will be handed over as soon as they are handed over.
Brother Jiu really can't trust them when it comes to money.
Who asked him to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? He didn't want to make another mistake of improper employment after working so hard.
The fourth elder brother did not follow the Northern Patrol last year, but he also heard that during the northern tour, the ninth elder brother and the seventh elder brother thoroughly investigated the palace renovation matters and found a lot of coated borers.
He had a rather jealous temper and frowned: "Khan Ama is so lenient. Even if they are lawless, taking advantage of others' power and taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, we should investigate each and every one of them!"
Brother Jiu listened and knew that he meant something.
He was talking about no one else, but the prince's wet nurse, Aunt He, and her husband Ling Pu.
Ling Pu also served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before and was a doctor in Guangzhou Division.
As a result, the Suo'etu was cleared at the beginning of the year and the Lingpu couple were brought out.
There are only a dozen properties purchased in the name of the couple in the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the end, more than one hundred thousand taels of gold and silver were confiscated from the house.
His worth is comparable to that of a high official in the imperial court.
In the end, both the couple were executed and their status was lost. Their children and grandchildren, like Suo'etu's son, were made slaves of Ningguta and Pijia.
As early as before the Lantern Festival, officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Zongren Mansion escorted the two families out of Beijing.
Brother Jiu also had lingering fears when he thought of Nanny Liu.
The wet nurse is the person closest to them and has a close relationship with them. It is easy to lose fear and think that she can control the prince's brother.
There is also the example of the current concubines who are covered with concubines. Every family is thinking about shining the lintel of the family, and they want the emperor's grandson to come out of the belly of the covered concubine.
The ninth elder brother thought of the fourth elder brother's wet nurse, Mrs. Xie, who was also the only one among the elder brothers, because she was not from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but was a Daxing civilian woman.
I heard that when the fourth elder brother was born, the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared three wet nurses as alternatives. As a result, the fourth elder brother refused to nurse and cried day and night.
The pediatricians at Tai Hospital looked at it and found nothing wrong.
In the end, it was Qin Tianjian who came to the conclusion that the wet nurse and the elder brother were not compatible. At that time, there was no suitable nurse in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they searched in the suburbs of Beijing, and for some reason they chose Xie.
The wet nurse, Mr. Xie, is not a Baoyi. The fourth elder brother was not close to his maternal family because he was raised in Queen Tong's palace. Therefore, compared with other elder brothers, he has the weakest relationship with the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The fourth elder brother has no favorable impression of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, probably because he is a bystander.
While they were talking, the two brothers arrived in front of Qianqing Palace.
Civil and military officials from other places who have been promoted have been sending signs to see their Majesties in the past few days.
Therefore, at the gate of Qianqing Palace, officials were waiting to be summoned one by one.
The fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother stood nearby and watched.
Brother Ninth looked towards the study room.
The Holy Emperor returned to the palace, and his brothers followed him back to the palace.
My brother-in-law is in the study room.
The eldest brother of Yuqing Palace also chose four study companions and officially entered the upper study room.
Two of them are from the Hesheli clan, one is a cousin of the prince and the grandson of the late Chengen Gong Gabra, and the other is the nephew of He Yi.
Brother Jiu curled his lips, luckily there were only four companions.
If the prince is the eldest son of a concubine, then what do these princes mean?
But thinking of the twelfth elder brother, the ninth elder brother is thoughtful
If the hierarchy of princes is divided based on birth mother's birth, shouldn't the fifteenth prince be based on the example of the twelfth prince, who only has four companions?
It seems that the royal concubine is a holy family member and has been considered by Khan Amama to be promoted to concubine?
Khan Amma is quite interesting, he likes the new but never gets tired of the old.
The beloved pets around me come one after another, without interruption for more than 30 years.
Half of the concubines in the harem have been concubines and concubines.
Seems a little lustful.
The ninth elder brother was so distracted that he didn't notice that the officials he was meeting were about to leave. The fourth elder brother had already called for someone to pass the news.
Liang Jiugong came out this time and conveyed Kangxi's oral instructions to the two of them to go in.
Brother Si took a hand and reminded in a low voice: "Be serious and don't let your mind wander!"
Brother Ninth retracted his weird idea and followed Brother Four into Xinuan Pavilion.
Kangxi glanced at his fourth elder brother and saw that he looked haggard. He felt unhappy and scolded: "Your body is affected by your parents. Even if you are young, you should not torment yourself like this!"
I had reminded him once in Qingxi Bookstore a few days ago, but he didn't listen.
He is paranoid when it comes to small things, he insists on perfection in everything, and he has various temperaments.
When you are hurt, others are worried too.
The fourth elder brother was ashamed and said: "It's because my son is unfilial and makes Khan Amma worried."
Brother Jiu was standing by, watching the exchange between father and son, and he couldn't stop complaining.
What an elusive old Amma.
Do you like your son to be diligent, or do you like your son to be industrious?
If you work hard you will be scolded, if you don’t work hard you will be looked down upon, so how do you choose?
Brother Ninth only wanted to be praised and didn't like to be scolded, so he was a little confused for a moment.
Kangxi saw Brother Jiu's expression and said disgustedly: "Okay, what are you doing?"
Brother Jiu told the truth: "My son is in a bit of a dilemma. He has just been working hard for a few days and wants to meet the virtuous fellow...but he doesn't want to let Khan Amma worry about him!"
Kangxi: "..."
He found this remark unpleasant.
Brother Jiu decided that this was not what he thought.
Clever words and charming words!
He looked at Brother Jiu's luck and was thinking about where to start reprimanding him.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the fourth elder brother had already taken out a note and said: "Khan Ama, the ninth elder brother has been working diligently and attentively recently, and asked people to gather the accompanying people and supplies from the previous two southern tours. The hydrology and weather are just right for us." The logistics arrangements for this southern tour are for reference."
Kangxi showed his surprise, raised his chin and called Wei Zhu, who was standing in front of him, to take the fold.
When it was handed to Kangxi, Kangxi opened it and read it.
The table is very clear. From the cost of the first and second retinue population, the approximate cost of this retinue population is calculated.
And because it was winter during the first southern tour, and the second southern tour was in the first month, there were additions and subtractions.
It's clear at a glance that it's really attentive.
It was not only the intention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to gather together, but also the intention of the fourth elder brother's supplementary plan.
Kangxi's face looked better and he said to his fourth elder brother: "If you do things carefully, I always feel at ease..."
As he said that, he looked at Brother Jiu and said, "It's rare that besides eating, drinking and having fun, I also know how to do serious errands. It's really good for me!"
Brother Ninth did not make excuses, nor did he try to take over everything. He said truthfully: "My son just thought that the emperor's grandmother would accompany him this time, so he should be careful, so as not to make any imperfections and make the emperor's grandmother feel uncomfortable and sweat." Amma was also worried, it is always better to be prepared, and her son didn’t do anything, he just gave instructions casually, and it was only Mr. Zhang Baozhu and Gao Yanzhong who were affected..."
If the Queen Mother is uncomfortable, isn't Shu Shu the one who is affected?
It's hard to say that he would have made the mistake of poor service.
Kangxi had no idea that Brother Jiu had made a big circle in his heart. He just thought that he was filial to the Queen Mother, and his expression became more and more relaxed.
The Queen Mother is his direct grandmother, and he, as an emperor, is filial to her, and is happy for his son to do as he pleases.
Hearing that Zhang Baozhu's name sounded familiar, he asked, "Is he the fifth elder brother's father-in-law?"
Brother Ninth nodded and said, "He is a good expert at handling case studies. He has transferred Mr. Zhang to him in the past two months, which has saved my son a lot of worry."
Kangxi had no impression of Zhang Baozhuo, but his father Buyanu, the governor of Shaanxi Province, was his close confidant.
Kangxi was also quite pleased to hear that Zhang Baozhuo was capable and not a mediocre person.
"Who is that Gao Yanzhong?"
Kangxi was very unfamiliar with this name.
Brother Jiu said: "He was originally the foreman of the imperial kitchen. Last year when he was on the northern tour, he temporarily took over as the steward of the kitchen. He is the in-law elder of a palace maid on his son's side. He is also diligent in his work. When my son saw that there were many people in the imperial kitchen, he He was transferred to the general manager’s office as the hall leader..."
The imperial dining room is a wealthy yamen, and it is also popular if it is lacking.
Before, there was a confrontation between Concubine De's natal family, Concubine Rong's natal family, and Concubine Wei's natal family.
Now that the Ma family has all left, the vacancies will be filled by the natal families of Concubine De and Concubine Wei, and outsiders will not be able to take the place at all.
Kangxi frowned and said, "You can't use nepotism!"
Brother Jiu felt aggrieved and said: "My son wants to use 'kiss', but there is no one around. If you find someone who is capable and obedient, why don't you treat one as two and use it with all your strength?"
Kangxi remembered that the ninth elder brother's grandfather, Sanguan Bao, was carrying the flag. The other clan members were still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were not seen getting close to them.
He didn't say anything, just said: "Even if you become a palm seal officer, they are all subordinates. They should be treated equally to avoid making people dissatisfied."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Khan Ama Jinguo said, does that mean that my son will just go with this appointment? Haha! It's good to go, it's good to go, otherwise my son will always be in trouble when he sees Master Ma Qi. No confidence!”
He Yi was junior, while Wang Shen was in charge of the Criminal Punishment Department.
On the contrary, Ma Qi, as a rule, went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for half a day every three days.
Not like an overseer, but better than an overseer.
Although Brother Jiu is a prince, he can see that this veteran Jiu Qing is also a little unsure.
Who asked him to appoint him?
Kangxi saw Brother Jiu's beaming smile, thinking that he had performed well these days and took the trouble to get from the garden to the city. He snorted softly, which was regarded as acquiescing to this statement...
*
Sure enough, the 30 position was only available for one day, and then it fell endlessly, bursting into tears, and my father, who was not insured, begged for a little bit.
