By the time Shu Shu and Brother Jiu came out of the West Garden, the sky was already dark.
Brother Jiu was still muttering in a low voice: "Not to mention that Akedun's mother-in-law has not yet been granted the title of Prince Fujin. Even if she is granted the title of Crown Prince, how can she still ride on us princes? The Crown Princess should give birth to a legitimate grandson. , it would be better if both Akedun and the Li family’s plans fail.”
Shu Shu thought of the Crown Princess's miscarriage last year.
If you really want to count it out, it has been exactly one year since she married into the palace at the end of June last year.
Li Gege, the eldest elder brother, and the second elder brother of Yuqing Palace had no sense of existence before.
Maybe you get preferential treatment in Yuqing Palace, but that's just in Yuqing Palace.
Everyone can see that whether it is the emperor or the princess and his wife, they are all looking forward to their legitimate grandson.
This is why the eldest brother Yuqinggong rarely appears in front of people, and he doesn't even have a famous name.
You must know that the eldest elder brother, third elder brother, and the younger elder brother in the fourth elder brother's house have all asked the emperor to circle their names.
When did the change begin?
It was in the first month of this year that the emperor's grandson entered school.
Shu Shu did not tell Brother Ninth about this, and only said: "That Dening has received forty blows. How can a half-grown child be better off? Don't be upset. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is ultimately the Emperor's Ministry of Internal Affairs. If I I really used my power for personal gain and went to clean up the Li family, but it was all in the eyes of the emperor. If I lost my job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I might not be able to be so free in the future..."
Just like the fifth elder brother who took over the errand of the Ministry of Works before, he was going to Gyeonggi to inspect the river engineering.
The Fourth Brother took over the errand of the Criminal Department and spent the whole day and night in the Criminal Department looking at the cases before the Autumn Judgment.
The eighth elder brother took over the errands of the household department. Even when he was busiest, he wished he could live and eat in the household department.
The key is to work as an errand in other yamen, with ministers and ministers at the top, and doctors and foreign ministers at the bottom.
If you do well, you won't be able to show your merits, but if you don't do well, you'll easily take the blame.
However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge and feels much more comfortable.
This year's "three festivals and two longevity" also make people rich, no less than Prince Heshuo's salary.
Brother Jiu glanced at her and said curiously: "Aren't you still angry at first? Don't you want to deal with the Li family?"
Shu Shu whispered: "Do you think the root is the Li family?"
Brother Ninth fell silent.
Both husband and wife knew that the root cause of Akedun's rudeness was not the "instigation" and "false power" of the Li family boys9 but the fact that Yuqinggong's status had been raised too high before, making everyone who was close to Yuqinggong... arrogant.
Suddenly, the ninth elder brother glanced at Shu Shu's belly and whispered: "Fortunately, we didn't rush to have a son this time, otherwise we would be bullied by the elder brother from Yuqing Palace."
Shu Shu said: "I think too far. This time, the prince will teach his son well. If he doesn't teach him, he will be useless."
But she was not generous, and she also held a grudge in her heart.
He didn't go directly to the Li family like Brother Jiu.
It's just that outside is not the place to talk.
After returning to the Fourth House, the couple washed themselves and lay down, and Shu Shu said: "I came back earlier and said that the fifth brother asked the emperor to point out the emperor's grandson's sword."
Brother Ninth said with regret: "I was thinking 'we will be blessed together' and asked Khan Amma to point out the prince's tutor to my brothers. But the eldest brother was shameless and talked about his son. The fourth brother and fifth brother reacted quickly, and also I just kept saying it..."
Shu Shu whispered: "Why don't you tell the emperor tomorrow that the emperor's grandsons below are about to become enlightened, can you also give them a favor and go to the study to study?"
Nowadays, children are enlightened as early as five years old and as late as eight years old.
The grandsons of Prince Zhijun, the grandsons of Sanbeile Palace, and the grandsons of Wubeile Palace are all four years old this year and five years old next year.
The grandson of the Fourth Beile Mansion and the grandson of the Seven Beile Mansion are one year younger and follow closely behind.
The grandson of the Yuqing Palace, whether it is the current Akedun who is only mentioned once in historical materials, or the Hongxi who later claimed to be the direct grandson of the emperor, has nothing to do with Shu Shu.
But since Akedun beat Xiaoliu, Shu Shu was not happy to see the two brothers' status being so detached anymore.
Pull it together on a line, and the pros and cons will be clear at a glance.
How could Kangxi be satisfied with such a tutor?
If you have a younger brother in your family, you don't have to worry about being shorter than the elder brother in Yuqing Palace.
Brother Jiu suddenly turned over and sat up, looking straight at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu also sat up and said, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Brother Jiu shook his head, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Yes, that's right. Why didn't you think of this..."
However, he still looked a little strange and said, "Have you heard a rumor?"
Shu Shu blinked and said, "What aspect?"
"The Ninth Prince said about the eldest brother and the prince."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "I haven't noticed. In the early years, I didn't care much about the news in the palace at home. In the past two years, we haven't had much time to deal with those two. After all, there is a age difference..."
Brother Jiu pointed in the direction of Changchun Garden and said: "The garden was built in the 23rd year and completed in the 26th year. At that time, the eldest brother and the others were young, so Khan Ama asked the princes to follow the prince and go there together. I was studying in Wuyizhai, and I heard that many imperial officials at that time expressed their opposition to this matter."
What the prince has learned is the art of the emperor.
What an ordinary prince learns is to become a virtuous auxiliary king.
The purposes are different. In the opinion of the censor, they should not be taught together.
Shu Shu heard this and disagreed.
A bunch of old Confucian scholars from the Hanlin Academy taught the emperor the art of mastering the tricks of the world.
Except for Kangxi's step-by-step teaching, who would dare to say that he is teaching the art of emperors.
"The eldest brother and the prince started to have conflicts at that time."
The ninth elder brother said and pondered: "The emperor's grandsons also go to school together. What should I do if they lose respect for elder brother Yuqinggong and start to compete with each other?" J.
He would draw inferences from one instance to another.
Shu Shu was silent.
What about known history?
A bunch of brother kings?
Not really.
Basically, this group of royal grandchildren either died young or lost their position as heir apparent.
She hesitated.
Although he wanted to win over the special treatment from Brother Yuqinggong, he had no intention of tricking the children.
After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he shook his head and said: "I think it's wrong. We are not from the same Ama. We can't fight for the same thing. When the time comes, we will still have to fight for it, old buddies..."
Whoever has a higher title and is more respectable before the emperor will have more confidence in going to the study.
He was a little dissatisfied and said: "In order for our boy to be more confident in the future, I have to work hard. This title cannot be too far away..."
Shu Shu wanted to vent her anger, but she was not willing to involve innocent people. She said, "Don't be impatient. No matter how hard you think about it, I just want to say that maybe you didn't think carefully..."
These royal grandchildren have been studying in Shang Shufang for ten years, their qualifications have been improved, and their talents have been developed.
It would be better if the fourth elder brother was still in charge and Honghui passed the test of life and death.
Cousins who studied together became close relatives in the future.
Supporting nearby branches and decentralizing power to distant branches are also the general rules.
But if Honghui is still dead and Qianlong comes up, these cousins will be an eyesore.
What's more, in this batch, there are not only the eldest sons of the Zhijun Prince's Palace, the Three Belle Palace, and the Fourth Belle Palace, but also the eldest sons of the Five Belle Palace and the Seven Belle Palace.
The child is innocent, but Shu Shu still prefers Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin in her heart.
This concubine's eldest son is not afraid of excellence. As long as Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin give birth to a legitimate son, the inheritance of the title will be certain.
But when the eldest son of the concubine becomes successful, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother will also promote Fujin for the sake of their son status.
Although in history, the biological mothers of these two people ended up siding with Fujin, it shouldn't be so soon. Most likely, they took this step after the two Fujins had not given birth to a legitimate son for many years.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, I'll think about it again, don't be in a hurry."
He said this, but he was not a patient person.
The next day, he went to the House of Internal Affairs in Changchun Garden to handle official duties.
He estimated the time and was about to arrive in Chenzheng, so he hurried to Qingxi Bookstore to see him.
It was now breakfast time for the emperor's father. All the officials who were supposed to see him had finished their meetings and were free.
After listening to Liang Jiugong's report, Kangxi wanted to say that he was not free.
It’s time to eat soon, and I’m afraid I’ll be heartbroken after seeing you.
What can Brother Jiu do this early in the morning?
The designation was for the fight between the companions yesterday afternoon.
But this time it was indeed Brother Nine's brother-in-law who suffered the loss.
Kangxi rubbed his temples and said, "Pass it on!"
It's not generous. If you don't let him talk for a while and specify to hold grudges, I don't know how to make a fuss.
Unexpectedly, Brother Ninth came in and didn't mention the fight with his fellow students at all. Instead, he took a note and said: "Khan Ama, the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave a note and wanted to repair the study..."
It was the rainy season before, so construction was not easy.
When the weather subsides and the rain stops, repairs can be made.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and felt that there must be something going on.
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "My son was thinking, should we also repair the sacrificial hole in the south corner of the landlord's house?"
The enclosed building in front of Qianqing Palace has not been repaired for several years.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Then let's practice together!"
It just so happened that the upper study room was vacant these days, and the princes and grandsons were studying in the garden, so the construction there would not be in the way.
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, there are several empty rooms to the north of Rijing Gate. How about moving the sacrificial hole there?"
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "What about the room vacated at the memorial site?"
Brother Jiu said with a sneer: "Didn't you hear it from eldest brother yesterday? The nephews have reached the age of enlightenment and they are all the grandsons of Khan Amma. If you don't keep an eye on them, who of those brothers can be like that?" Did you teach your son well? He looks like Akdun when he looks back, and he has grown crooked..."
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu angrily.
I originally thought that he was more promising, not frivolous, and knew that business came first, but in the end, he went in a big circle, and it was still about the fight with the reading companion yesterday.
"I have already taken care of yesterday's matter, no more complications are allowed!"
Kangxi warned.
When word spread outside, people added fuel to the fire, leading to all sorts of speculations.
Brother Jiu nodded dissatisfied and said: "Is my son the one who is ignorant? Even if he feels resentful, can he still go to Tuoyuan Bookstore and beat Akedun? I just think the child is spoiled, so don't spoil him. Children know how to look at their faces, and they will become more sensible when they look back..."
These are all fallacies.
However, Kangxi was somewhat concerned about what he said before.
The eldest son and the eldest son of each family are different.
I really don’t trust my sons to teach me.
He thought for a while and said: "Let's repair it as you said first, but don't make it public. We'll talk about it at the end of the year."
The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth were cracked, and he nodded and said, "Don't worry, my son has a tight mouth."
Kangxi looked at him, becoming more and more worried, and hummed softly: "If word spreads, then let this matter be dropped!"
Brother Jiu immediately covered his mouth, feeling a little worried about himself...
