Kangxi frowned.
Princess Rongxian did mention this matter before returning to Bahrain in the first month.
He glanced at Si Age.
Brother Si said this, but had no intention of continuing.
Kangxi put down the confession letter of the third elder brother and said: "The third elder brother is rude in front of the emperor and must be punished. We will wait until the confession letter of Prince Jian comes up."
The eldest brother nodded and said: "It's a punishment. If you don't punish it, you won't have a long memory. It was the third brother who worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, uncovered the "nest" of the Accounting Department, caught the moths, and recovered a lot of losses. That's also the case. You have made a great contribution..."
Kangxi was not angry and said: "Okay, don't be verbose anymore, I remember this."
The eldest brother smiled heartily and said: "Whose son feels sorry for him? That is Khan Amma's son. It is Khan Amma who has the final say on how to discipline him. It is not the sons' turn to speak. I am afraid that you will punish him severely." Brother, if you can’t bear to look back, it makes you feel uncomfortable.”
Kangxi sneered and said: "If I hadn't always been graceful, I wouldn't have allowed him to be so bold and rude in front of the emperor!"
The eldest brother was disgusting when he thought of what the third brother said. No wonder the emperor's father was angry.
But if it's just this alone, there shouldn't be anything to worry about, and the penalty won't be too severe.
Brother Si looked at the floor tiles and felt that there were other things that no one knew about.
The third elder brother kept it secret.
The imperial father had no intention of making it public.
Otherwise, just because the third elder brother vomited in Qingxi Bookstore, the emperor's father would only be annoyed but not angry. He would not be sent to the clan's mansion, given a scolding, and thrown directly back to the elder brother's confinement.
He thought about Prince Yu Fuquan, the emperor's father promoted his brothers, hijacked the distant clan, and had been close to him seriously for more than ten or twenty years.
When did brothers take a step back?
It was the eldest brother who came of age to lead the army in the 29th year of Kangxi...
Nowadays, the kindness with which Khan Amma treats the older prince is also diminishing, and it is actually a repeat of the past.
Except for the previous group of princes, the following princes have also become adults one after another.
The ninth elder brother has not entered the court, and the tenth elder brother is noble and has no real power. Then the elder brothers that the emperor will use in the future are the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother?
The fourth elder brother always felt that he was vague, as if he had guessed the emperor's father's thoughts.
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and thought that there was no mistress in the Zhijun Prince's Palace. He handed the third elder brother's apology note to his eldest brother and said, "Look at this..."
The eldest brother took it and looked at it, and when he saw half of it, he felt heavy on his face.
Regarding the wrapped population, my brother once said something about it after the dinner the night before yesterday.
The eldest elder brother felt that the ninth elder brother was frightened out of his courage by Aunt Liu, so he knew the basics and was still able to control her.
Unexpectedly, the third child was also worried about this.
The eldest brother was thinking too much. He looked up at Kangxi and said, "Khan Ama, do you want to check the Xiaoqi camp and the Hujun camp?"
The Baoyi Xiaoqi Battalion is responsible for guarding the Forbidden City on a daily basis, while the Guard Battalion is responsible for the twelve gates in the Forbidden City, with more than a thousand people on duty in each shift.
Apart from the guards, the ones wearing clothes and armor are the ones closest to the imperial palace.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "There is no need for a senior colonel. The children of the Fucha family have already stopped their errands. The children of the Shang family and the Dong family have also allocated the Xiaoqi camp and the Hujun camp..."
As for the children of the Qi family, except for Bai Qi of the Wuya family who filled up the Wu vacancy, none of the others wore armor.
Thinking of the Wuya family, Kangxi looked at his fourth elder brother and said: "The Wuya family members are also suspected of occupying the division of Ningshou Palace and Yuqing Palace. Those who have the information include the chief eunuch of Yonghe Palace and the palace people..."
The fourth elder brother had a look of shame on his face and said, "My son, Chaos, didn't pay attention to this matter."
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "They are used to being greedy. They have been like this for decades. What does it have to do with you?"
Fourth elder brother was silent.
If it has nothing to do with yourself, who does it have to do with?
Naturally, she is the backer of the Wuya family, her own mother-in-law, and the lord of the first palace.
He lowered his head and said no more.
It doesn't matter if this matter is revealed now. It seems that he is being dragged down by his parents' family, so the punishment should not be too severe.
With Concubine Rong demoted to the throne in front of her, small punishments and small precepts are no longer so conspicuous.
It can be regarded as a separation between the empress and the Wuya family.
Kangxi thought for a while, looked at Liang Jiugong, and said: "Go to Yonghe Palace to convey my instructions. Concubine De did not know how to restrain her relatives, which led to corruption and lack of control. The leaders of Yonghe Palace, eunuchs, and palace officials exceeded the supply limit and stopped supplying. The annual salary is three years to serve as a warning to others."
Liang Jiugong responded and went down to deliver the order.
Brother Si's face was filled with shame, and his chin dropped to his chest.
The eldest brother was beside him, with a look of regret on his face.
I forgot about this incident. The people who were inspected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before were also the Wuya family.
Both fell silent.
At this time, I really didn’t know what to say.
Kangxi was also impatient and the two of them were standing around. He waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's go down. I will go back to the garden in the evening."
The eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother responded and retreated from the imperial palace.
After leaving Qianqing Palace, the eldest brother looked at the fourth brother and said, "What should I do? I think my concubine will be shocked?"
The fourth elder brother is not at ease, but even if they are biological mother and son, they cannot come and go at will in the inner court.
In the past, Fujin could have handed over a sign to say hello, but Fujin is now six months pregnant and is inconvenient due to his weight.
Brother Si thought for a while and said, "After these two days, please ask my brother and aunt to hand over a sign to say hello."
The eldest brother also knew the current situation of Si Fujin, and comforted the fourth brother, saying: "Don't worry too much, my concubine is just suspending her annual salary, and I still have Lao Jiu here, so there is nothing to worry about."
The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this...

Not long after the two elder brothers went down, the doctor in charge of the prince's safe pulse followed the guards into the palace.
When he greeted Kangxi, Kangxi looked at him and said, "The prince's Ping'an pulse has been recorded truthfully. Is there anything missing?"
The old doctor, who was in his 60s, usually had a calm and calm temperament. After hearing the question, his face showed shame. He knelt down and said: "A minor minister is punished by death..."
Kangxi's face darkened and he said, "What's wrong with the prince?"
The old doctor said: "The prince is in his prime, his yin and yang are not balanced, and he has some symptoms of yang hyperactivity..."
Kangxi read medical books thoroughly and naturally knew what Yang hyperactivity was.
Hyperactive yang in men is mostly related to deficiency of kidney essence. Excessive sexual indulgence in early years will easily lead to hyperactive yang.
Those with excessive yang need to be relieved, otherwise they will have bad tempers and high desires.
Kangxi looked at the imperial doctor and said, "Can you prescribe a prescription?"
The old doctor hurriedly said: "I don't dare to prescribe private prescriptions, but... the prince is using Chengfang Liuwei Dihuang Pills to nourish the body. This medicine nourishes yin and suppresses yang, and it is right for the disease..."
Kangxi looked at the old doctor and said, "What did the prince tell you?"
The old doctor had sweat on his forehead and said, "The Crown Prince said that these are common minor problems among men, and I don't want the Emperor to worry."
Kangxi nodded, with a confused look on his face, and looked at the old doctor and said, "Do you know why I summoned you today?"
The old doctor shook his head and said, "The humble minister is stupid."
Kangxi lowered his eyes and said, "I sent you here to ask for pulse from the head of Zhongcui Palace. Please go over there..."
As he spoke, he looked at Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong knew that the emperor had concealed the matter of checking the prince's pulse, so that others would not associate it with the demotion of Master Rong.
Liang Jiugong took the old doctor down and went directly to Zhongcui Palace.
On a hot summer day, Zhongcui Palace was deserted and lonely.
Except for the maids and eunuchs under the name of Concubine Rong, everyone else moved out.
Concubine Rong was still in the Buddhist hall and got up when she saw Liang Jiugong and the imperial doctor coming in.
Until the imperial doctor asked for Ping'an pulse and then left, Concubine Rong remained silent...

House of Internal Affairs, the main office.
Brother Jiu held his pocket watch and felt that every day seemed like a year.
Finally reaching Shenchu, he almost jumped up.
This has been most of the day, barely a full day.
He stood up and rubbed his neck. He felt numb all over and his back ached.
He looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "It's such a hot summer. It's too tiring to sit like this all day. Starting tomorrow, I'll handle official business in the yamen in the morning. At noon, brother will take you to a restaurant. In the afternoon, we'll go to the yamen next door." Turn around..."
That way time can pass faster.
The twelfth elder brother heard this and said with expectation: "Then when will we go to the inner building?"
Brother Ninth said: "It's right next to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you want to go down tomorrow, go and have a look. What do you want to see?"
The twelfth elder brother said: "Mommy is eighty-nine this year. I want to use the money to order two pairs of new offerings for grandma."
The internal manufacturing office has a department dedicated to forging copper utensils, which can be used to make Buddha statues and bronze utensils in front of the Buddha.
Brother Jiu said: "When is grandma's birthday?"
This kind of work other than supplying books in the palace requires scheduling.
The twelfth elder brother said: "Mom doesn't know when her birthday is, so my brother is giving it to me as a Double Ninth Festival gift."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "There are still three and a half months. As long as there is enough time, let's make a decision..."
After the ninth elder brother waited for half a quarter of an hour, the tenth elder brother arrived and said: "Prince Jian will convene everyone this afternoon to discuss the third brother's crime..."
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "What is the initial punishment planned?"
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Gebele, the chief of ceremonies of Beile Mansion, the ceremony is dismissed, whipped for sixty times, and yoke for a hundred days..."
Brother Ninth sneered: "The thunder is loud and the raindrops are light. Why don't you mention the left leader under the name of the third brother? Or the Baylor Mansion?"
If you really want to be severely punished, just take away the two left collars.
There is also the third elder brother's Baylor Mansion. It was built according to the regulations of the county prince's palace. When the third elder brother came to Baylor from the county prince, only the plaque and door nails were changed, and the other places were not changed much.
If you really want to conquer Beile, you must first take back Beile Mansion and use it as an official residence.
The tenth elder brother said: "I don't dare to punish him severely. I am afraid that others will misunderstand me and add insult to injury. I am also afraid that the third brother will hold a grudge in his heart."
Normally, the royal family and princes would be punished with heavy punishments that were reasonable and well-founded, and then the emperor would be given room to show mercy, and the punishments would basically be reduced.
When we arrived at Third Brother's place, they looked the same on the surface, but actually they were different.
Listing the chief of ceremonies and the two ceremonies also gave Kangxi a step forward.
Even if Third Brother did do something inappropriate, it was his subordinates who were more at fault for not being able to dissuade them, so they should be punished...
Brother Ninth said: "The staff in the Prince's Mansion are quite dangerous. They will be punished for anything. It was the case with Third Brother last time, and it was the same with Eighth Brother that time..."
The tenth elder brother said: "There is also room between father and son. They are both adult princes, so they can't really shout and kill..."
