When it came to the fifth elder brother's letter, his style was completely different from the other two. The calligraphy of the fifth elder brother is obviously a circle larger, and the painting is also a bit stiff, like a child who has only been in elementary school for two years.
His meaning was very simple. He told Brother Ninth not to be too diligent. Otherwise, the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be handed over. The more he worked, the more people would pick on him. It would be better to do less or not do it at all.
There are still less
"yours truly". There is no idiom, but it means that filial piety is in vain. If you are not protected, you have to rely on yourself.
Fifth elder brother is annoyed. He has been in charge for several years and is not a fool. He knows that if Khan Amma objects to the so-called impeachment of the imperial censor, he will suppress it; if he does not suppress it, it means that the imperial censor has no objection.
snort! Don't appear too filial. Brother Ninth looked at it twice before handing it to Shu Shu and said, "You said the year before last that the tenth brother was the best, but I see that the fifth brother is the best." Shu Shu took it and looked at it, not surprised.
She said: "Fifth Brother was raised by the Queen Mother. If you think about the Queen Mother's behavior, you will know that Fifth Brother is not from Hutu." Ninth Brother knew that Fifth Brother's advice was good, but he still shook his head and said: "Master and Fifth Brother It's different. The fifth brother is far away from the imperial court, and no one dares to ignore him. The queen mother is his support and confidence; here, I still want to be the support of the tenth brother." He arrived in front of the bookcase and gave the three elder brothers Wrote a reply.
But this time he was going to an inn, so he knew what could fall on the paper and what couldn't. For Brother Ten, he mentioned that Ni Guzhu had already started teething, and Brother Fengsheng should have almost done so too. The Prince's Mansion had prepared a lot of teething sticks and saliva towels, and asked them to send people to get them; he also asked Shi Fujin's For physical conditioning, you can ask Dr. Jiang to come forward.
Si Age, here, he mentioned that the Chaohe River he saw on the road actually originated from Rehe. He would ask people to check along the river to see if it was possible to sail. If so, he would transport things from Rehe to the capital in the future. You can travel by water.
Brother Jiu didn’t just talk about the river, but he heard Cao Yueying tell him that in ancient times there was Bei Canal Transport, and a section of the tidal river water was also in the water system of Bei Canal Transport.
When he arrived at the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother told him that what is unclear in this world is the grace of childbirth and the grace of upbringing. He only looks at his children and thinks about the hardships of his parents, so he must take responsibility. Be tolerant of the young and the elders as well.
After all three people had finished writing their letters, Brother Jiu hesitated for a moment and then wrote to the imperial court again. This time he wrote in more detail. Yesterday he went to the Great Wall and climbed up to see the distance. Today he went to the Chaohe River and watched the fishermen setting up their fishing nets. There was knowledge everywhere.
I was just worried about my family. I was worried that the emperor's father would be sulky over other people's affairs. I was worried that the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi would be uncomfortable when the season changed. I was also thinking about the seventeenth prince's vaccination. I was a little worried. Finally, I mentioned that everything was fine. I've been a little sleepy for a few days, but I've recovered after taking the medicine to calm jitters and promote sleep. Fujin is also keeping an eye on my food and daily life here, just like at home. Please don't worry, Imperial Father, and so on.
By the time I finished writing the four letters, it was time to light the lamp. Xiaotang brought someone over to prepare a meal. The main dish is a fish head puff pastry.
Although no fat-headed fish was caught, the grass carp was too big, two and a half feet long, eighteen pounds, and the fish head was three and a half pounds, so Shu Shu still ate the fish head.
But I didn’t cook a few fish to eat. Because according to the judgment of the fish handler, this grass carp has been growing for seven years, and its meat is tough and not as tender as grass carp that is less than three years old.
Therefore, the boiled fish next to it is a two-pound grass carp. There is also a plate of dry-roasted crucian carp, which uses half a catty of palm-sized crucian carp.
There is also a loach and winter melon soup. There are two dishes of river shrimp, spicy river shrimp and stir-fried shrimp with chives.
Shu Shu ate the pieces of cake from the fish head, feeling satisfied. Although it is not a minced pepper fish head, and it does not taste as tender as the fish head of the fat-headed fish, the stewed fish head is also delicious. Pork belly is used as a side dish, and the fish is soaked in oil and has a meaty flavor.
Brother Jiu just ate the shrimp and said: "This is delicious. It tastes better than chicken and duck." Shu Shu listened and said: "Long Keduo's private property is a shop in Nancheng, right at Caishikou. I'll ask someone to take it back later and make it a seafood stall directly." Brother Jiu understood it as soon as he heard it and nodded: "That's good, it will be convenient to arrange for people to bring in river fresh food or seafood at that time, so that it can be eaten in the house." Otherwise, If so, sending people to Tianjin specifically to fetch seafood would be irritating.
It's not like this in the palace, but it's like this in their prince's palace, and it seems extravagant. Rooms outside the palace. Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying sat opposite each other.
When they first left Beijing, the two of them ate and drank separately. It was the same routine. But Miyun stayed here for a few days and was bored, so the two of them got together to chat or have tea, and the meal began to be eaten together.
There are four dishes here for two people, casserole with fish head and tofu, braised fish, dry-fried river shrimp, and garlic cabbage.
The two of them ate elegantly and didn't eat much. They only ate half of the one-foot plate in front of them. When the dining table was moved away and tea was served, both of them drank tea to eat.
Cao Yueying had only been here for a short time, but she could see that the Ninth Prince's Mansion was very different. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Nine masters are reluctant to enter the court, is it because they want to serve Prince Yu?" The so-called Prince Yu's affairs refer to the fact that during the time of Emperor Shizu, the eldest son of the emperor died, and the second son of the emperor was already the de facto eldest son.
At that time, Emperor Shizu promoted Confucian etiquette, and he was also inclined to choose this place for his heir.
"There are direct descendants, but no direct descendants." As a result, when Emperor Shijo asked about his second son’s ambition, the young Prince Yu replied
"Wish to be a wise king." In Cao Yueying's opinion, the ninth elder brother has economic advantages and can just work in the household department to give full play to his talents and accumulate merits.
Here in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is no meritorious service with the country, and it is not as good as the six ministries. Emperor Shizu has few sons, Prince Yu’s
No one is vying for the title of "virtuous king", but there are too many princes nowadays. If the ninth prince wants to be the virtuous king, he will not be able to do so. It's okay now, but when the throne changes, he will fall behind other princes.
Scholars all have a kind of paranoia and belief, and scholars will die for their confidants. It's not enough to say that Ninth Prince has become their confidant at the moment, but this beautiful appearance also makes the two of them sincerely plan for Ninth Age.
Zhang Tingzhan shook his head and said: "Jiuye is not good at planning. This is a shortcoming and a strength. Although it is suspected of laziness to stick to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not necessarily a disaster..." He was a little ignorant of the world earlier and did not have much understanding of the court situation. Prediction, but now my father is about to resign, the root cause is Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu who was involved in the past few years, and Zeng Donggongshi earlier.
He also studied history books, but the politics of this dynasty were different from those of previous dynasties. He did not expect the struggle between imperial power and reserve power.
Who is called the Emperor is not only the Emperor, but also the Lord of the Eight Banners. No one can shake the imperial power. According to Manchu custom, a son is more valuable than his mother.
But whenever I think about it, I feel frightened. Emperor Taizu deposed two heirs. Guanglue Baylor and Prince Lilie, whose sons were valued more than their mothers, both lost their thrones.
The one who won the throne was Emperor Taizong who came from the side chamber. It can be seen that this son is not absolutely valued by his mother.
Now the eldest elder brother is the eldest son, and the tenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother are the noble sons. It is hard to say what will happen in the future.
The prince has no foreign aid. The prince's uncle lost his title as Duke of Cheng'en and was idle at home. The prince's father-in-law has long since died of illness, and the prince's clan members have mostly appointed local officials and are not involved in capital affairs.
The two old Confucian scholars looked at each other and knew something. Cao Yueying said: "The Ninth Master is on good terms with Prince Zhi, Sibeile Mansion, and the Tenth Prince..." Huh?
Is this great wisdom? ! Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. When the Sacred Heart is lost in the East Palace, these three are the most qualified to succeed the crown prince.
Cao Yueying looked at Zhang Tingzhan, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Master Jiu, is he as wise as a fool?" Zhang Tingzhan took a sip of tea, looked at Cao Yueying and said, "It goes without saying that Master Ten is a close friend of Master Nine; Prince Zhi and Si Beile had no contact with Lord Jiu in the early years. The current situation is probably due to Jiu Fujin." He had been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and he had also heard people mention that when Brother Jiu was a child, cats hated dogs. Bad popularity.
All changes started after the wedding. After hearing this, Cao Yueying fell into deep thought and asked for a while: "Is this Jiu Fu Jin's plan?" Although Confucian etiquette restricts women, they are not decadent and really despise women.
Throughout the dynasties, there is no shortage of outstanding women who have left their names in history. Zhang Tingzhan didn't nod or shake his head, and said: "I don't know, I can't tell, I can't guess. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's intentional." Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, anyway, he just moved Brother Jiu to the shore, and an updated Safe location.
Which minister has not thought about the power of the dragon? Cao Yueying couldn't help but feel shocked when she thought that Dong E's family was the emperor's confidant, the leader of Zhenghong Banner, and his in-laws were from the lineage of Prince Lilie headed by the clan.
It was just a matter of great importance and not something that could be discussed with others, so he lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup. Even if Master Jiu doesn't fight, if he stands in line, he will be the future king of real power...
