The third elder brother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The reason why he didn't delay and came to see me today was because he hoped to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that the accounts of the Accounting Department would even involve the Imperial Kitchen!
On the other side of the imperial dining room were four other relatives.
For no reason, he and his brother became enemies.
Things are snowballing, and more and more people are involved.
He felt so shortchanged.
But there was still the matter of raising the flag. The third elder brother hesitated for a moment and asked: "Khan Ama, what about raising the flag before..."
If they take the opportunity to punish them, will the Ma family and the Wuya family not have to raise their flags? !
During the ten days since arriving at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Third Elder Brother has seen a lot and thought a lot.
Lifting one's coat of arms and raising one's flag is no longer considered just respectable as it was before.
There are advantages and disadvantages to this. When it comes to the future, it is definitely better to go to Three Flags; but the benefits are still there.
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "Let's arrange it as soon as possible!"
The third elder brother hurriedly responded: "Son, I obey..."
Kangxi thought of the news in the afternoon. The Wuya family and the Zhang family had begun to "make up for their shortfalls", while the Ma family and the Wei family had not yet moved.
You must know that in the early years of the imperial dining room, the Ma family and the Wuya family were equally matched, and they were equally divided.
He said, "What's going on with the Ma family? It's related to your dignity. Please ask someone to hurry up and don't involve you."
The third elder brother said: "My son has already sent people to urge him, but they are different from other families. They are used to being frugal. They have bought most of their property, and it is difficult to collect money at the moment..."
Kangxi only mentioned this sentence, and did not want to say much more, saying: "Kneel down!"
Just by looking at the reactions of the Ma family and the Wei family, we can see that they are arrogant and proud of themselves as the prince's maternal family. Even if they know that the matter has been exposed, they have no fear.
In this case, a group of people must be punished, and the rewards and punishments are clear.
The third elder brother responded and was about to retreat.
When he arrived at the door, he remembered something, stopped hurriedly, turned around and said, "It was my son who was negligent. Khan Ama, is the Dong family classified as an 'accomplice' or as a 'remnant'?"
Classified as an "accomplice", if the severity is taken, such a large amount of corruption will be lost at all costs, and the meritorious officials will be made slaves.
This slave is different from Bao Yi. He has directly become a subordinate of the household, and is no longer a member of the official banner.
Kangxi pondered: "Do the Dong family members of the Accounting Department have Dong Dianbang's family members?"
The third elder brother thought for a while and said, "No, they are all cousins and clan members."
Kangxi said: "I am an accomplice and cannot be redeemed..."
Having said this, he added: "Dong Dianbang is loyal to the emperor and the country, diligent and prudent, and is a doctor in the accounting department."
The third elder brother responded and retreated.
It seems that the emperor's father still has old feelings for the Dong family.
Come to think of it, that's the Empress Dowager's wrapping, so it's different after all.
Even if he is punished this time, Dong Dianbang is still here, and he has no intention of letting the Dong family sink...
At the door of the duty room, the fourteenth elder brother was already waiting impatiently. When he saw the third elder brother coming out, he hurriedly called the thirteenth elder brother to come out.
When the third brother heard the noise and saw the two of them, his face dropped.
He looked at Brother Fourteen and said: "You are not young anymore, Fourteenth, why are you still acting like a fool all day long? What do you mean I robbed Lao Jiu's head of the Internal Affairs Bureau? Why didn't I know that I robbed him? Do you want to do it again?" Such nonsense, let’s confront the emperor!”
The fourteenth elder brother straightened his neck and said in a male voice: "Confront the confrontation, whoever doesn't go is the bastard! As soon as Khan Ama stopped the ninth brother's position as the head of the internal affairs office, you "voluntarily asked for help", this It's not robbery, it's nothing..."
Speaking of this, he thought that not only the Zhang family but also the Wuya family were involved in the third elder brother's commotion, which made him feel embarrassed. Looking at the third elder brother, he looked up and down, questioningly, and said: " Did you do it on purpose? You wanted to attack dissidents, so you went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take up a position. It’s so easy to show off!"
The third elder brother felt his head was "buzzing", and a black pot fell from the sky.
He wanted to jump to his feet, glared at Brother Fourteen, and said, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about again?"
The eunuchs and guards in front of Qingxi Bookstore all listened, and they still don’t know what the news was.
The fourteenth elder brother was crazy and said loudly: "No, it's not. You see why you are so anxious. You seem to be guilty. Isn't this a coincidence? With your troubles, no one can stop. It's not like this disciple is in the water. It’s just that the family background is different, but it makes you look innocent..."
The third elder brother had a little-known problem. He couldn't speak when he was anxious. This was because he was late in learning to speak when he was a child. At this time, his face turned red from holding it in. After a while, he said: "The Ma family is also in there... "
The fourteenth elder brother gave a thumbs up and said: "Okay! You are still righteous enough to kill your relatives! You are becoming more and more innocent!"
The third elder brother was so angry that he was shaking all over.
The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly pulled the fourteenth elder brother and said: "I still have to go to see Khan Ama..."
If the teasing continues, maybe the third brother will take action.
This man has beaten his brothers and dealt cruel blows.
The fourteenth elder brother snorted softly and followed the thirteenth elder brother.
When they arrived at the door, Liang Jiugong had already come out and said respectfully, "Thirteenth Master, Fourteenth Master, the Emperor has summoned me."
"Why!"
The fourteenth elder brother responded and pushed the thirteenth elder brother in.
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi looked ugly.
Seeing the two people coming in, he glared at Brother Fourteen and scolded: "Where are the rules? Is this how you talk to your brothers on weekdays?"
He pushed Dong Dianbang out not only to give the Dong family a chance to atone for their sins, but also to cover up the third elder brother.
Holding grudges is not a good thing.
The results of it?
The fourteenth elder brother made such a scene and ruined all his previous efforts.
When people talk about this matter outside, they just think that the third elder brother has been planning it for a long time.
The fourteenth elder brother felt aggrieved and looked at Kangxi angrily: "Aren't you happy that my son told the truth? Are you too biased, Khan Ama? The eldest son is a son, but the younger son is not a son?"
Kangxi snorted coldly: "Speak well. A gentleman is quick in action but slow in speech..."
The fourteenth elder brother immediately said: "My son is not a gentleman. My son is only thirteen, and he is still a villain!"
Seeing his shameless appearance, Kangxi felt his hands itching.
The thirteenth brother hurriedly said: "Khan Ama, the fourteenth brother did not mean to be disrespectful to the third brother, it was for the sake of his son. He was holding back his anger before and lost his sense of proportion in his words."
】
Kangxi looked at his thirteenth brother.
The Thirteenth Brother told about the Zhang family's finding of the Royal Horse Farm today.
Since there was a reason for the incident, Kangxi's expression softened a little. He looked at his fourteenth elder brother and said: "Copy the "Book of Rites" carefully and see what 'brothers, friends and brothers are respectful'!"
Brother Fourteen couldn't help but wanted to talk back, but Brother Thirteen reminded him in a low voice: "It's business..."
Only then did he react, and he immediately behaved and said: "My son was wrong. When I met the third brother later, I was designated to be respectful, but in the past two days, I was really worried and felt embarrassed..."
At this point, he looked at Kangxi pitifully and said: "Don't talk about other families, let's talk about the Wuya family. People who don't know know that their family is greedy and think that their son and fourth brother have taken advantage. But it is unjust. Khan Ama, my son has enough pocket money, let alone the fourth brother. They are clearly using the guise of the prince’s maternal family to make money, but they want us to take the blame. This thought makes my son feel panicked!"
Kangxi said: "It will be fine in a few days, don't worry about it."
As for the Wuya family, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are indeed not related, but there is still Concubine De.
The brothers did not take the Wuya family's filial piety, but Concubine De did.
The concubine's private room will also be spent on her son from now on.
To say that the fourth elder brother was unfairly implicated is somewhat unfair, but when it comes to the fourteenth elder brother, it cannot be called an injustice.
The fourteenth elder brother said sincerely: "Ahma, my son, can I ask you something?"
Kangxi looked at Brother Fourteen and wanted to shake his head immediately.
bother you for something.
School is over, and if the fourteenth elder brother doesn't go back to his place, he's going to cause trouble.
The fourteenth elder brother already sighed and said: "In the past two days, the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been camping everywhere, and they have also camped beside the thirteenth brother and his son. It is very annoying, and the son is thinking about going out with the thirteenth brother. Hide, isn’t it just that Sister-in-law Ninth is taking Sister-in-law Ninth to take a look at Zhuangzi, and my son is thinking that we should also go and have a look, to see the people’s livelihood and economy..."
Kangxi pondered a little after hearing this.
Jiu Gege is the sister of the fourteenth elder brother, and Dong E is the sister-in-law. This sister-in-law really needs someone to follow her when she goes out.
He looked at Brother Thirteen and said, "You want to go too?"
The Thirteenth Brother nodded and said: "My son wants to see how chickens and ducks are raised in Zhuangzi. Later, when Zhuangzi came along, he also asked people to learn how to raise chickens and ducks..."
Kangxi was also a little moved after hearing this.
He could still remember clearly how proud he was when Ninth Elder Brother talked about the chickens on the farm. Even his garden kitchen received eggs from Ninth Elder Brother's filial piety.
He also wanted to see it.
But he didn't say it in advance so as not to stir up trouble.
He nodded and said: "Then I'll give you a day off, go out and see things, and learn to take care of things..."
The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother immediately laughed and agreed.
Just learn to take care of things, what's going on?
With Ninth Brother here, it’s not their turn to take care of things during this trip?
When they left Qingxi Bookstore, the two brothers looked at each other and realized it later.
The fourteenth elder brother covered his mouth and whispered: "Khan Ama thought that the ninth sister-in-law and the ninth sister would go out tomorrow, so she asked us to take care of things..."
Brother Thirteen nodded and said: "That seems to be the meaning. Brother Ninth is still 'grounded' after all."
"Then you have to tell Brother Ninth. He should be grounded. Don't look back and get criticized for this..." Brother Fourteen said.
The brothers did not delay and went directly to Beiwu Institute to mention the matter to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded.
He was so depressed that he decided to go out to play tomorrow, right?
In this case, he can't go yet!
Shu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Brother Ninth and said, "In that case, I will 'ground you' with my tenth brother. Don't go against the emperor's wishes on such trivial matters..."
He who does not know is not guilty and knowingly commits a crime have different meanings.
The ninth elder brother pointed at the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and said regretfully: "I shouldn't have called you. That way I wouldn't have to go to the imperial court. If I go back, I can just say that I was negligent or make up some other excuse." …”
