The twelfth elder brother also felt that something was wrong, so he came up with the idea.
The ninth elder brother finished reciting to himself, but had no intention of exploring. He said to the twelfth elder brother: "That's the Shenxing Department, where the emperor directly intervenes. If we can't understand it, just don't understand it. It's okay if the emperor understands it. What's wrong with this horse?" I often come to the palace to pay my respects..."
At this point, he stopped talking.
Is this related to Concubine Rong’s demotion?
It shouldn't be a matter of the Ma family. If someone really needs to commit suicide in fear of the crime, it should be the man in charge of the family, not the wife of the house.
Is it really related to the palace?
Brother Jiu thought that it was enough to keep this curiosity in his heart and there was no need to reveal it.
Where should I take Brother Twelve to eat at noon?
This kid has probably never been out of a restaurant.
Yufeng Building was closed before. It is a pity to leave such a good location like this.
There are also some other shops involved in eucalyptus.
Brother Jiu thinks this official store problem should be solved.
He called Dong Dianbang and said: "We will price the current Imperial City store based on 90% of the market price of the Di'anmen store. Those who have tenants before will be given priority to rent according to this price; if the tenants cancel the lease, a notice will be posted directly. "Those who want to rent can go to the Accounting Department to sign up and bid. The one with the highest bid will get it. The rent will be adjusted every three years based on market conditions."
Dong Dianbang listened and said hesitantly: "Jiuye, those merchants who rented houses before are also involved..."
Should such people be excluded from the list of renters?
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "We can't generalize. If the Baoyi relatives are involved, what kind of involvement does it mean if an ordinary merchant rents a shop? Isn't this what I am saying? That is the Imperial City, not Qianmen Street. Instead of changing it to a bunch of If people with unknown background come in, it’s better to just pay the rent normally if it is still run by such people.”
"Yes, this slave is mistaken." Dong Dianbang responded.
Brother Jiu looked at him and said: "Don't let the incident in front of you affect too many people. If it makes everyone uneasy, it will end. Now the Accounting Department is watching this matter. It is best to put it to a good end and restore order." important."
Dong Dianbang agreed again.
Brother Jiu didn't say anything else and waved his hand to let him go down.
The Dong family seemed to be in some decline before. First, the concubines were deposed, and then many members of the family were lost in the accounting department's "nest", but now it seems that it is nothing.
Compared with the ruined Fucha family, the punishment was light. Compared with the Guo Luoluo family, Ma family, and Wuya family, the Dong family had only eliminated some of their lawless relatives.
While Brother Jiu was thinking about it, He Yuzhu came in and said, "Sir, the princess sent Chang Shi to Xihua Gate. He said that the princess wanted to see me for something, and asked me if I had time to come over."
Brother Ninth nodded and said, "I told you to come over for lunch at noon and ask my sister to prepare a few more dishes. If there is no good cook, just call a table outside and I will take Brother Twelve over to share the meal."
He Yuzhu went down to deliver a message.
Brother Twelve stretched out his arms, wanting to call He Yuzhu back.
Seeing his expression, Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "It's not like Little Princess, I don't dare to see anyone..."
The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother, feeling a little tired, and said: "Ninth elder brother, Sister Kejing should be looking for you for something."
So Ninth Brother is here to order the meal to be prepared and to take him there. Is this okay?
Brother Jiu said: "What can happen? I'm probably asking Xiao Shiba to 'catch Zhou'."
The twelfth elder brother wanted to talk more, but the ninth elder brother said: "I told the fourth sister to take you there. If you don't go, what will I say?"
Brother Twelve shut his mouth.
After the twelfth elder brother finished handling his errands, the ninth elder brother put down the file in his hand.
Because the Secretary of Shenxing had withdrawn the money for the coffin, he was curious about this expenditure, so he asked Bi Tie Shi to look for the file.
There are many people on duty in the palace. There are nearly 2,000 regular maids and eunuchs. Together with the number of people working in various places, the total number is 3,000 to 4,000.
However, the only people in the palace who were responsible for birth, old age, illness and death were the maids and the eunuchs.
Ma Ho's is a special case here.
Because all the Ma family members have been arrested, they cannot be released to the family for mourning, and it is not appropriate to send people to Sanbeile Mansion to call for people at this time, so this expenditure is incurred.
After he finished reading it, he found that the money was not much, and he could not make a few payments in a year.
After he put this aside, the twelfth elder brother had to deal with all the official business in the morning.
Brother Jiu read it once and became a maniac about stamping, and he took advantage of it.
Then, he took out his pocket watch and took a closer look. He saw that it was two seconds.
It's almost noon.
The ninth elder brother called the twelfth elder brother and said, "Okay, let's go, don't delay eating."
Brother Twelve couldn't help but think about when Brother Ninth arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It’s just a new year, it’s only been an hour!
After leaving Donghua Gate, the guards and guards were already waiting.
This is what the ninth elder brother called on behalf of the twelfth elder brother.
He now has guards and guards from the Prince's Mansion when he comes in and out. He doesn't use people from the Internal Affairs Office and the Guards Department, but he does here with the Twelfth Prince.
You can’t skip this, you have to make it a habit.
He rode on the horse and said to the twelfth elder brother: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace. The third brother was slighted in Yufeng Tower before. This is a lesson learned from the past. This prince's identity must be revealed, and don't imitate the nonsense in the talk book." Arowana suit.”
Brother Twelve listened honestly.
Brother Jiu said again: "If you want to come out, just wander around the Imperial City or outside Di'anmen, don't go too far."
The twelfth elder brother said: "My brother won't come out."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "You need to know more. After a while, when the palace has calmed down, you can go to Xiaotangshan to see how the palace is being built. If you want to stay out, you can stay one night." .”
It’s all my little brother who’s here, who doesn’t look forward to sleeping out?
The twelfth elder brother didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
If it was a business trip, he would just go, but he didn't want to stay out.
As the two brothers talked, they arrived at the princess's courtyard.
After Princess Kejing got the news, she came to the front and said with a smile: "I brought a cook from Khalkha for the banquet. I will give you two an advantage first."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Look at what you said, as if we are not welcome guests."
Princess Kejing smiled and said: "If I were a guest, I wouldn't dare to mention it on the same day..."
The siblings went directly to the front hall.
Hand meat, mutton soup, and mutton pie are all common Mongolian dishes, but there is a roast pig recipe, which is a dish that the brothers have never eaten.
The pork belly is boiled first and then roasted. It is charred on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside. The fat is roasted and transparent. No seasoning is added. Just dip it in salt and it tastes good.
Brother Ninth ate an extra piece and said, "Sister, how do you make this dish? Does the master have a recipe? We'll make it in the dining room later. Serve it up. Grandma Huang will definitely like it."
Princess Kejing said: "I'll ask someone to bring it to you later."
The dining table was removed and the tea was replaced. As expected, Princess Kejing asked about the Eighteenth Prince's "capture of Zhou".
Brother Jiu said, "My younger brother, Fujin, went to pay my respects to my mother-in-law yesterday afternoon. Her mother-in-law's intention was not to do anything."
Princess Kejing nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. I was afraid that I would annoy the queen too much. I wanted to go over and talk to the eighteenth brother when he was 'catching Zhou'. Since I can't do it now, I will hand over the sign tomorrow." Say hello to the empress."
Brother Jiu remembered what had happened in the palace in the past few days and reminded him: "You can wait a little longer. Let's wait until Brother Three comes out."
Princess Kejing followed the advice and nodded: "Okay, when will the third brother come out?"
She didn't ask the third brother why he was locked up. There was a lot of excitement outside with all kinds of excuses.
Regarding the imperial court, if she asked at this time, it would only embarrass Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu took the initiative to mention it: "It should be just these two days. Nothing happened at all. I just vomited in Qingxi Bookstore after eating too much. I will be locked up for a few days."
As for the rest of the inside story, who knows.
Love so much.
Anyway, this statement sounds good, it seems that the atmosphere is not so tense, and it is better to watch a group of people having fun.
Princess Kejing looked at Brother Jiu and said with a smile: "This shows that he has grown up."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "If you can't tell with such a big head standing up, then do you have to look at your eyes?"
Princess Kejing said nothing more, and neither did the ninth elder brother. He took the recipe for roast pork and left with the twelfth elder brother.
Neither the siblings mentioned Rong concubine or the Ma family.
But they all thought of the Guo Luoluo family invariably.
Compared with the Ma family, the punishment of the Guo Luoluo family was too light.
Brother Ninth looked gloomy.
Guo Luoluo's family should be in Jinzhou now.
Looking back, I still have to ask the people over there how the Guo Luoluo family lives.
After all, Sanguanbao is still the general manager of Dalinghe Ranch, and he is also the chief seal officer at the ranch.
It would be really annoying if the whole family really wanted to be the official one and dominate.
*
Zongren Mansion, the yamen of the main hall.
The tenth prince glanced at Prince Jian's check-in room.
Prince Jian went to the imperial court.
The third elder brother's confession was handed over and he still had to wait for approval.
This old fox's book is very powerful, but he must go through the motions and go to the third brother Gozen to plead for mercy.
It's him both inside and outside, just keep it to yourself.
Just as he was thinking about it, Prince Jian came in from outside, walking in a square step with a very relaxed expression.
The tenth prince knew that this was a confession.
Sure enough, Prince Jian greeted Sunubeizi and the tenth elder brother, and went to the detention place of the third elder brother together.
It's clean here, but there are no other benefits.
The ice rules of each yamen are fixed, so the room is a little stuffy.
The third elder brother's stubble has grown out, and his arms and sleeves are rolled up, exposing his hard tendons, but he seems to be in good spirits.
"Beile Yinzhi has lost his etiquette in front of the emperor and is lax in his rules. He should be dismissed. In recognition of his meritorious service in acting as an agent for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he should be relieved of his duties. His salary will be suspended for three years and his title will be suspended once. The chief of ceremonies and the chief of ceremonies will be dismissed from their posts. Forty lashes will allow him to be redeemed..."
The third elder brother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Khan Amma is merciful, and this is out of consideration for his dignity.
I am afraid that if I am demoted at this time, people outside will make trouble worse.
If the title is suspended once, it means that the next time his elder brothers and younger brothers are promoted to nobility, he will not be there; or if he records his merits twice and can be promoted to a level due to his merits, if he does not get promoted, he will be exempted from the merits twice.
Punishment was given, but leeway was given.
Most of the resentment in Third Brother's heart has gone away, leaving only gratitude...
