"Uh-huh!"
Gao Bin responded honestly.
After leaving Jiangning this time, Cao Shun did not follow him north, but went directly to Hangzhou to start preparing for the purchase of chicken blood stone.
But Gao Bin still has a long memory.
His previous role was mediocre.
It's just for his father's sake. If he doesn't learn to improve, he will be easily replaced in the future.
Brother Jiu was studying himself, so he was naturally satisfied with Gao Bin's attitude and said: "I am in the Yamen today, and I don't plan to go out. Why don't you go to the Beiguanfang to see how the construction of the Prince's Mansion is going? If Fusong is here, Just ask if there is any news outside recently..."
Gao Bin recited these words silently in his heart, then took the order and went out.
Brother Ninth remembered the library that was planned yesterday.
Anyway, there are only a few people in the Prince's Mansion. After waiting for a while, if the couple leaves the palace again, they can go there together to have a look and find a suitable place.
As for the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...
Brother Jiu dug out the official documents from the construction company with a smile on his lips.
The speed is really fast.
When the Holy Master was stationed in Jiangning, he summoned the head of the Ji family's censor family who had become an official, and also gave the Ji family grace.
It has only been a month, and the Ji family has been officially registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It has been two and a half months since he left Beijing in early March, but the backlog of official business in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not much.
Although he and Ma Qi were not here, Hayartu and He Yi were still there.
In addition, the yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are relatively independent, and there are many old practices to follow.
Therefore, in less than half a day, he dealt with everything he could handle.
He hesitated whether to go back to the second house to eat directly or wait for someone to bring a meal box.
If he sneaks back in the middle, will it look like he is too idle?
A man?
It is better to have a career.
Before he could make up his mind, there were messy footsteps outside.
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth..."
It was Brother Ten who came, panting.
Brother Ninth asked: "Why are you so anxious? Did Zhao say it?"
The tenth elder brother waved his hand and said: "It's not Zhao, it's Peng Chun who has passed away!"
Brother Jiu stood up immediately: "Nothing today?"
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "This morning Khan Ama sent a message to Prince Jian, asking him to find out Dong E's family affairs and report them truthfully. Prince Jian and Peng Chun have an old relationship, so he wanted to go over first and see what Peng Chun said. Seeing that his brother was idle Then he took me with him, and just in time the third brother brought his third sister-in-law to Guining..."
Speaking of this, he bared his teeth and said: "It seems that the third brother also went to the two lawsuits. He must have wanted to make peace, thinking that 'big things will be reduced to small things, small things will be reduced'. Unexpectedly, Peng Chun was seriously ill. He heard that If you say this, you will be so angry that it will disappear!"
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded and said, "Then the Peng Chun family relies on the third child?"
The tenth elder brother shook his head and said: "I don't have the guts. It was Zengshou who reprimanded their second and third sons for being unfilial and disobedient, and falsely accusing the elders of the clan. This made my father so angry that he wanted them to cleanse themselves and leave the house. Their second and third sons bit back." , saying it was the boss who was behind the instigation, anyway, 'dog bites dog, hair in mouth'..."
Brother Ninth was already a little impatient.
How could such a lively scene be conveyed in just a few words?
This is the scene that should be well described.
"Should we go visit the funeral?"
Brother Jiu said excitedly.
The tenth elder brother said: "Prince Jian will take the third brother to Qianqing Palace to report the matter. We should wait and see what Khan Amma says."
Peng Chun was no ordinary nobleman, but a first-class public servant.
At present, the number of first-class princes alive in the imperial court does not exceed one palm.
This is a loss of faith. The ninth elder brother wanted to be kind, but he couldn't help but gloat to the tenth elder brother and said: "You think the third brother is so energetic, is it because of some collision in the past two years?"
The tenth elder brother thought about it and realized that it was not going well for the more than a year since the third elder brother was enthroned.
However, last year's demotion was done by the Third Prince himself, and today's one is just unlucky.
"No matter what, Third Brother got involved in this matter out of brotherhood this time. Khan Ama will also see this. Ninth Brother, please don't say anything in front of him later, it's unreasonable..."
Brother Ten reminded.
Brother Jiu was unconvinced and said: "Emotions are more important than human feelings. He really doesn't want to think about his identity. The prince's brother who has been ennobled has to interfere with the family affairs of a noble family. Flag, really shameless..."
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said: "The third brother always likes to be calculating in his actions. There are not many times when he is so reckless. I don't think it has anything to do with you, the ninth elder brother."
Brother Jiu was startled, then shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. When I came back from Tongzhou, I went straight back to the palace and didn't see him at all."
The tenth elder brother thought for a while and said, "Ninth brother, you took the ninth sister-in-law to the red flag yesterday. It is almost certain that the third brother has heard about it."
They are all sons-in-law of Dong E's family, and the ninth elder brother is so eager, so naturally the third elder brother can't be too cold.
Brother Jiu sneered: "What's wrong with this? Will I take the joke made by two bastards seriously? I feel sorry for your sister-in-law. I want to come back from a long trip to see my mother-in-law, but I can't see my mother-in-law. , It’s so pitiful that I took her there once. From leaving the palace to returning to the palace, it only took an hour, just to talk..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another movement outside.
Wei Zhu came: "Master Jiu, the emperor has summoned..."
Having said this, he glanced at Brother Ten again and said: "The Emperor said that if Master Ten is here, send Master Ten over too..."
The brothers looked at each other.
The corners of Brother Jiu's lips drooped and he said, "The third child won't really bite me, will he?"
The Tenth Brother said: "Khan Ama probably also wants to ask about yesterday's events. Ninth Brother, just tell the truth."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but snorted and said, "You really shouldn't sympathize with him!"
Wei Zhu was standing by, looking at Brother Ninth and was speechless.
Can't these two brothers go behind someone's back when they say something trivial?
Then the emperor asked, should he say it or not?
Brother Jiu only complained about these two words and went to Qianqing Palace.
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi sat cross-legged on the kang, his face as sinking as water.
Prince Jian Yabu stood aside with his head bowed, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he was very happy in his heart.
Fortunately, Third Brother arrived first, otherwise, if he had revealed the matter to Peng Chun, he would be the one kneeling now.
He was the head of the clan, a first-class duke. Even if he was a prince, there was no need to offend him for nothing.
The third elder brother was kneeling on the ground, his expression was sluggish and his tone was aggrieved.
"Khan Ama, my son really wants to make peace. 'Everything will be happy if the family is harmonious'. This 'family harmony' is also similar..."
He was also physically and mentally exhausted.
I never expected that as soon as I returned to the capital, there would be big news waiting for me.
His second brother-in-law and third brother-in-law actually wanted to seize the titles of other heads of households.
This is not in line with the "Qing Dynasty Law", and I feel too ignorant.
who are they?
A playboy who doesn't even have a serious job.
But what about Qi Xi?
You must know that Qi Xi had served as the commander-in-chief of Manchuria under the Zhenghong Banner for many years before he became the father-in-law of the ninth elder brother.
He was a confidant promoted by Khan Amma. How could he be brought down with just a few specious accusations?
Besides, it is well known that Xindali is weak.
There was also a complaint from the previous county chief, which was enough to prove that Xindali's worsening condition was caused by his favorite.
If brothers Fuhan and Fuhai insist on accusing Qi Xi of harming others, they must first overturn the previous report of the clan.
He is simply seriously ill!
"My son thought that the younger generation might be making nonsense, and the older generation might be angry and unable to step down. Since my son is the son-in-law of the Dong E family, he came forward to make peace and give the two families a step to step down..."
The third elder brother said it sincerely.
Kangxi also saw that he was not cheating, but he was still dissatisfied and said: "The prince has reached the Infantry Command Yamen and Dali Temple, and then arrived in front of the emperor. Is it child's play?"
"Can you settle this matter by making peace?"
"If there is any doubt about the cause of Xinda Li's death, then he did not die in vain? If there is no doubt, then it is Fuhai who made a false accusation and wants to be revolted. And because he and Qi Xi are juniors and elders, the crime will be increased!"
"Do you want to make peace between the two families, or do you want to protect your Yue family and use your status as a prince to suppress Qi Xi from pursuing this matter?!"
"Slap your chest and tell me honestly!"
By the end of the sentence, he had a serious look on his face.
The third elder brother's face turned red, but he did not dare to argue. He said: "My son does have some selfish motives and wants to settle this matter quickly. Otherwise, the capital will regard it as a joke, and my son and Lao Jiu will also lose their face. I want to come to Lao Jiu." Yesterday I hurriedly went to Dutong Mansion for the same purpose."
Kangxi looked at the third elder brother steadily, with disappointment in his eyes.
If you are not careful when things happen, it is your lack of responsibility that is the big problem.
He bites his brother every time.
He really doesn't act like an older brother.
Prince Jian looked on, worried for the third elder brother.
This is not how the imperial response works.
If you say you are wrong, then you must honestly admit your mistake.
This kind of sophistry means that the emperor has no habit of beating his sons in front of the emperor; even if he is in front of me, the stick will have been hit long ago.
"Your Majesty, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are here. Meet them outside."
Wei Zhu came in and reported.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Pass it!"
Wei Zhu responded, went out and brought in the ninth and tenth elder brothers.
Seeing the third elder brother kneeling on the ground, the ninth elder brother wanted to endure it, but he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
Deserve it!
Kangxi sat on the kang and saw it so clearly that he felt his palms itching.
He suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice: "I heard that you took Fujin to Ning yesterday, and then returned to Beijing. Is there anything you can't wait for a day, so you have to go there on the same day?"
Brother Jiu had been prepared for a long time and told the truth: "My son Fujin was worried about your mother-in-law. After returning to the second house, he immediately went to Yikun Palace to pay her respects. When my son saw him, he thought that it would not be easy for his mother-in-law to give birth at an advanced age, so he took him with him My son Fujin has returned to Ning..."
Kangxi was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect this answer.
But given Brother Jiu's temperament, this answer is the most likely answer.
There was no plan. I patted my forehead and thought about it as soon as it came out, so I didn't even take the guards with me. I called some guards to follow me and went out.
Kangxi glanced at the third elder brother, then continued to look at the ninth elder brother and asked, "What about the Dong E family's lawsuit? Didn't you mention it to Qi Xi?"
Brother Ninth's eyes were a little wandering.
Seeing his guilty look, Kangxi's face darkened and he said, "Say!"
The ninth elder brother said with dismay: "My son saw that his father-in-law was at home and did not come to the palace for duty, so he advised him to go to the palace more often and explain the lawsuit to Khan Ama. However, the father-in-law said that his son was my elder brother." , it’s not good to interfere in Dong E’s family affairs, what else can my son say?”
"My son's father-in-law is a little stupid. He still treats it as a family matter, but the government is watching him eagerly. He threw a basin of sewage down and didn't treat him as a relative!"
"My son wanted to come and talk to you when he returned to the palace yesterday, but his son Fujin persuaded me to wait for your holy judgment!"
"Hey! My son is also like, 'The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry'!"
Kangxi: "..."
Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu: "..."
