Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi was reading news about Guo Luoluo's family.
Sanguan Bao has already raised his flag in this house, but his in-laws and old friends are still covering up.
In the more than a month since I returned to Beijing, Sanguan Bao's family also held two banquets, which didn't seem like a casual affair.
Even if all the errands of the whole family are relieved, they still have confidence.
Yes, there are three princes and grandchildren, whether they are close to each other or not, the biological relationship cannot be severed.
Looking at the people he was socializing with, Kangxi couldn't help but snort.
Fucha family......
Yes, this is the in-law of the Guo Luoluo family.
Sanguanbao's second daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Fucha family.
The third daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Shang family.
This Shang family is not the Shang family who rebelled three times, but the surname in the bag.
Kangxi's heart sank.
In the harem, the four concubines were all born in Baoyi, and he had only carried the flag for the Guo Luoluo family before.
First, because Yi Fei's biological mother died of illness at that time, and she was feeling sad, so he wanted to comfort her and give her grace; second, he wanted to remove the Guo Luoluo family from Baoyi and cut off the relationship between the Guo Luoluo family and the Hesheli family.
As a result, the three officials rely on the old and sell the old, and they are the leader and the rat at both ends.
Just as he was thinking about it, Liang Jiugong came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Master is asking for an audience and is waiting outside."
After Kangxi heard this, his eyes fell on the fold on the other side, which showed the kinship relationship of Concubine Rong's natal family.
Concubine Rong's natal family was an unusual one. She was from a left-collared Manchurian family. Her father was only a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during his lifetime, but his great-uncle had been the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had inherited the title.
There is also the late third-class Gong Tuhai, who was the uncle of Concubine Rong.
Among the four concubines before, it seemed that Concubine Rong's natal family was not prominent, but this arrangement was stronger than the other three.
"Pass it..."
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said.
"Hey!" Liang Jiugong responded and retreated.
At the gate of Qianqing Palace, Third Brother was a little nervous.
If you pick peaches now, you won't be resented by Lao Jiu, right?
Brother Ninth Brother Xiaotangshan should not be stingy about his dividends, and he should not dare to be stingy, otherwise he will offend all his brothers.
The land in Xiaotangshan has more than doubled. Even if he secretly owns half of it, he should give everyone half of the dividends.
If the points are too small, everyone is not a fool.
Then my share of dividends will start at 60,000 to 70,000 taels.
But here in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after one year, there should be about 20,000 taels.
If Lao Jiu blocks his dividends, will he block the supply of the Ninth Prince's Mansion...
"Third Master, Third Master..."
When Liang Jiugong came out, he saw the third elder brother looking like he was wandering in the sky and called out softly.
The third elder brother woke up and looked at Liang Jiugong.
"Where is the emperor's biography..."
Liang Jiugong said.
The third elder brother stuffed his wallet and said, "Excuse me, Eunuch Liang..."
"You're welcome..."
Liang Jiugong said respectfully.
It's light and hard, and you don't need to guess to know that they are two hollow silver needles, which add up to one or two.
Liang Jiugong complained in his heart, but did not stuff it back.
Such a reward is not given twice in a year. I accept it by myself, not caring about others, just to make the third master uncomfortable.
I've been picking at it since I was a child, but every time the rewards are in vain, it's a shame that if I really have to go back, I can fulfill the other person's wish.
The third elder brother couldn't care less about his wallet. He let out a breath and entered the Xinuang Pavilion.
He has already made up his mind. Expecting money to fall from others' fingers is definitely not as good as what he has.
"Khan Amaan..."
The third elder brother first said hello, then glanced at Kangxi, and said with concern: "Khan Ama is tired. It seems that he has lost weight, so he should take more care..."
Kangxi snorted coldly: "Everyone of you, don't be angry with me, I can take care of myself!"
The third elder brother sighed and said: "My son has heard about the ninth elder brother. This cannot be entirely attributed to the ninth elder brother. In fact, there was a lot of rumors outside a while ago that all the ninth younger brothers and sisters were in critical condition. The ninth younger brother also He hasn’t shown up yet. Maybe it’s been difficult to nurse him back in the past two months. There are still three little ones, and they will need to be cared for for two or three years before they can compare with the single-born children. The ninth elder brother is also unable to do all the work. "
Kangxi glanced at the third elder brother, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said: "It is his fault that he abandoned the official position for personal reasons. Even if the censor does not participate, I will not tolerate him."
】
The third elder brother was not surprised. In the past few years, the clan had punished a number of people for being "lazy and not traveling on official duties", including one Beizi and two princes.
Being strict with the clan and being lax with his sons was not the style of the imperial father.
Besides, the emperor's father himself was very diligent in his work, so naturally he looked down on the lazy prince.
The third elder brother said: "Khan and Ama are all public-spirited. Even if the ninth elder brother is not angry, he will not be resentful."
Kangxi looked at his third elder brother, feeling a little tight in his chest.
Before anyone else could add insult to injury, his brother came first.
Is this reminding him that Brother Nine will be resentful?
Over the past six months, I have become the third elder brother who has a long memory and knows what it is like to get along with brothers, but in the end, when things happen, I still reveal the truth.
The third elder brother didn't notice and continued: "The ninth elder brother is smart. After these two years, the family has been sorted out. If you can let go, just go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows.
What he said was that he was on an errand for the Internal Affairs Bureau of the ninth elder brother. When he arrived at the third elder brother, he was directly dismissed.
He laughed angrily and said: "You are a good brother, you came here to 'help' him speak!"
The third elder brother said: "That's right. Who calls a son an elder brother..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Kangxi, and pleaded: "My son is here. In addition to interceding for brother Jiu, he also wants to recommend himself to Khan Ama. My son has loved reading since he was a child, and he knows all the principles." Those who have read books are no more knowledgeable about economics than other brothers, and this is where people's livelihood is at their shortcomings. The son begged Khan Amma to give his son a chance and allow him to experience in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for two years, so that he can be down-to-earth and avoid acting like a bookworm. I don’t even know how much it costs per bucket…”
Kangxi looked at his third elder brother, looking up and down.
The third prince is tall, has a Chinese character face, and has an upright appearance. He is a bit more refined than the other princes because he keeps reading the book all day long.
But it would be wrong to think that he is a powerless scholar.
Among the princes, the third child's riding and shooting abilities were only inferior to those of the eldest son.
Both civil and military.
Twenty-four years old.
The preface teeth are closer to the front, and he is also the first among the princes.
Kangxi's eyes were dark, a little more thoughtful, and he looked like hesitant.
The third elder brother noticed Kangxi's sizing, knelt down and said: "Khan Ama, my son was complacent because he was given the title of county king before, and he lost patience with his brothers. If he now works as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will definitely be like the ninth elder brother. Learn from it, treat your brothers well, and respect the Crown Prince and Prince Zhi even more..."
Kangxi looked at him for a long time and then said: "The errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are trivial and not as easy as you think."
Seeing that his voice was relaxed, the third elder brother suppressed his excitement and said seriously: "My son will do his job well and don't dare to be self-reliant. When encountering big problems, please ask Mr. Ma and Mr. Ha for advice..."
Kangxi frowned and said: "Get up, what will it look like!"
The third elder brother became more honest and couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the couple again, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Since you took the initiative to ask for the post, then let's appoint the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first!"
"Thank you Khan Amma for your grace!" Third Prince responded hurriedly.
Although he was not directly appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was not disappointed.
When Lao Jiu first came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he also started as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Kangxi muttered: "The first task I entrust you with is to raise the flag of the three matriarchal families of Yanxi Palace, Yonghe Palace, and Zhongcui Palace."
The third elder brother couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.
Yanxi palace concubine? Concubine Hui!
Princess Yonghe? Concubine De’s mother!
Princess Zhongcui? My own mother-in-law!
Raising the flag for three families of relatives at once? !
Is it because the Empress Dowager is celebrating her 60th birthday and is giving grace to the concubine?
Or is it because Khan Amma annoyed Lao Jiu and regretted promoting Concubine Yi, so he also gave grace to the other three concubines to stand shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Yi?
The third elder brother was entangled. As the son of Concubine Rong, he should express gratitude on behalf of his mother, but it was official business at the moment.
He calmed down and said: "Khan Amma, does the time for these relatives to raise the flag be before the Holy Birthday Festival?"
Kangxi pondered for a moment. The Holy Birthday Festival is in October, which is still five months away. It has been delayed for too long.
He said: "Since it is the grace of the Queen Mother, there is no need to delay it too late. It should be handled before the end of May."
"嗻!"
The third elder brother responded crisply.
If he had taken on other errands, he would still be embarrassed and worry about showing his cowardice and making people laugh. But for this flag-carrying errand, there is no need to worry too much. There is an example of Concubine Yi, so just follow that.
The matter of Concubine Yi carrying the flag was Khan Amma's personal order. According to that, it should be in line with Khan Amma's wishes.
When the third elder brother left the Qianqing Palace, he stood at the Qianqing Palace Square, hesitating whether to send the eunuch to Zhongcui Palace to announce the good news to his empress.
Then, thinking about the impeachment of Brother Nine, he changed his mind.
Not only is he the empress's son, he is also the newly appointed head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he must not forget his official duties for personal reasons.
Even if you show filial piety to Zhong Cuigong in the future, you don't have to show it openly. If you give a little hint, someone will flatter you.
He went directly to the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Ha ha……
Only then did I realize the advantage of being an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I was in the palace every day, which was different from traveling in the six departments.
It's really close to the Qianqing Palace, just a hundred or so steps away, and you can reach it with just a few steps.
The twelfth elder brother has already taken care of the official affairs, which are all daily affairs of each yamen. There is nothing special, just as usual.
Seeing the third elder brother come in, the twelfth elder brother was puzzled, but he still stood up and saluted: "Third elder brother..."
The third elder brother was staring at the big bookcase in front of him, and he was engrossed in it. When he heard the movement, he saw the twelfth elder brother in the corner.
"Huh? You are studying to be a errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When did you come?"
The third elder brother glanced at the twelfth elder brother's small desk and walked over.
The twelfth elder brother said: "I'll be here after the new year."
The third elder brother said: "I have forgotten that you are already out of the study and have grown up. It is time to learn to do errands..."
As he said this, he felt lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he took the initiative to ask for help. Otherwise, Khan Ama would no longer ask the prince to come over, and would select a doctor with enough qualifications from among the doctors below to bring him up. After two years and ten years, The second elder brother learned about it and took over.
Cut off my brother's penis.
The third elder brother did not feel guilty, only proud. He coughed lightly and said: "Starting today, Khan Ama asked me to appoint the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
The twelfth elder brother looked at the third elder brother with a dull expression.
Are you coming over at this time?
What about Ninth Brother?
The third elder brother raised his eyebrows and said: "Your ninth brother has dismissed the general manager, someone must come over..."
Brother Twelve mentally compared "stop" and "revolution", and still felt that he believed in Brother Ninth more.
He did not argue with Third Brother, but handed over the official document that he had processed and said: "Third Brother, this is today's official document."
The third elder brother answered it, picked up a file and looked through it. When he saw the instructions at the back, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked at his twelfth brother and was wary.
It's true that a biting dog doesn't bark. Less than half a day after Lao Jiu was replaced as the general manager, there was already a little wolf cub waiting to take over!
The third elder brother's face darkened, he looked at the twelfth elder brother solemnly, and then said thoughtfully: "Come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to learn the errands, have the seventh division and the third hospital below taken their turn?"
"No..." Brother Twelve answered truthfully.
The third elder brother showed disapproval on his face and said: "What can you learn in the yamen of the hall? You have to walk around in order to learn something. Let's start from Guangchusi tomorrow. One yamen for one month, First, learn the errands of each yamen, plus the palace's book repair office, the imperial tea kitchen, and the three-banner ginseng office will also take turns..."
