"Winter, winter!" Two drums sounded. This is the manpower report arranged by the palace. It’s time for placement in the second update.
It's time to get up at five o'clock. At Ninth Brother's side, the couple also took a rest.
"When Erhe comes back, I will fine him half a year's salary!" Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "When you shouldn't be safe, you are safe. If you are still staying in Haraqin, it will be suspended tomorrow afternoon. Then he will be embarrassed." Shu Shu said: "It should be here soon." Even though she said this, she felt that Erhe was not acting like he usually did.
Brother Jiu is a hot-tempered person, and all the elders around him must know that. No matter what the food was like or how the return trip was, we took so many guards out and sent two fast horses back to deliver the news, and we arrived in one day.
While the couple was talking, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Shu Shu turned over and sat up. Brother Jiu also got up.
His heart suddenly relaxed and he said happily: "Ha! Erhe is back, let me go and have a look!" Shu Shu also followed him down the kang and asked him to put on a hood and a hat.
"Huh..." A slipping carriage stopped outside the palace, with sheep and pigs bleating in between. The guards who were on duty all gathered around with their sword handles lifted. When they saw it was Erhe, they all lowered their sword handles.
Erhe said: "Okay, let's unload the truck. It's getting late." Everyone listened to the instructions and came up to carry the rice bags.
There was movement in the nearby barracks, and everyone got up to watch the excitement. When Brother Ninth came out, the grain was almost unloaded, and everyone was herding sheep and driving away pigs.
The sheep had just been fed and were eating hay on the road; the pigs were still fed before setting off this morning, and they were all grunting with hunger and very disobedient.
It's just that the pigs will be slaughtered tomorrow, and no one wants to feed the pigs. They just push them into the empty livestock pen next to them.
A guard who was familiar with Erhe said: "Sir, why are they just sheep and pigs? Everyone is tired of eating them. It would be better if they were cows." Another person said: "I ate several kilograms of meat today. It's really unpleasant." I dare to think that beef at noon and roasted roe deer at night are still in my stomach." Erhe laughed and scolded: "Some people just eat enough, and they become picky." When Brother Jiu heard this, he snorted softly and said : "Why can't you choose? I went out with you on an errand and I'm full of meat!" It looked like I ate a lot, but in fact it was nothing.
According to the supply standard, each person needs one catty of meat and one catty of rice per day, but now it has become four catties of meat and half a catty of rice.
If we were in the capital, we wouldn't dare to eat like this, but next to this was a canyon that had never been hunted before. Everyone captured a lot of money, so they really had a good supply.
Everyone fell silent. Erhe stepped forward and said: "Jiuye..." In front of so many people, he did not mention the specific amount of food. He only pointed at the Mongolian behind him and said: "This is the head guard of Erhe's house, escorting The two carts of pigs and sheep that the servant is waiting for are also gifts from the emperor's palace!" After saying that, he said to the guard leader: "This is the ninth prince of Bogda Khan, my master." Karaqin Because the area is half-farming and half-grazing, there are many Han tenants, and most of them can speak Chinese.
But the man knew Chinese and came forward to say hello in Chinese. Brother Jiu's face drooped, still thinking about Erhe's words, but Erhe's words were wrong.
This is the territory of the Qing Dynasty. The No. 20 guard army is pressed for food and needs to send more manpower.
"escort"? And why is it in the name of the Prince-in-law's Mansion and not the Princess' Mansion? Brother Jiu was very unhappy. Did he have to owe someone a favor?
! There was obviously no need for human escort, so we sent someone. You can just use the name of the Princess's Mansion, and there is no need to argue between the siblings; but if you use the name of the Prince-in-law's Mansion, he, the brother-in-law, will owe a favor.
What are the two carts of pigs and sheep for? They don't add up to much money, so it would be better to give them something rare like a few flying dragons, which would be considered thoughtful.
You're on the edge of the paddock, still short of meat? It's just that it's not easy to deal with at the moment. There is a grain buyer in front of him, and he arranges for two carts of pigs and sheep to be added, so it's not a fault.
He looked at the Mongolian leader waving his hands and said nonchalantly: "Get up, reward!" He Yuzhu was standing by. He knew that the Mongolians were rich and that this was a leader, so he quietly put two gold ingots in his purse together. It was prepared inside, and after listening to Brother Jiu's instructions, he presented the purse.
The head guard still refused, but Erhe persuaded him: "Take it, our master is not a stingy person, and we can't let you go in vain." The head guard accepted it.
He thought about the orders from his consort and the steward, and looked to see if the people around Ninth Brother were all dandies. Not to mention the people around him, even the guards, they don't seem to be very good.
Brother Jiu saw that Cao Shun and Gao Bin were also coming, so he ordered: "Don't neglect the guests, ask the kitchen to prepare food, and the horses have been fed." The two agreed and took the head guard down.
Brother Jiu glanced at Erhe, turned around and entered the palace. Erhe hurriedly followed.
"What's wrong? What kind of show is this, and you brought back a tail?" Brother Jiu asked. Erhe did not answer immediately, but whispered: "Master Jiu, I have something secret to report!" Brother Jiu fell silent and took Erhe back to the west room of the main room.
Shu Shu also got up, and when Walnut heard Brother Jiu going out, he came over from the side room to accompany him. Hearing that Erhe was coming back at this time, Shu Shu ordered Walnut to go to the dining room to see if there was anything to eat.
We have traveled a long way, and if we had eaten at noon, four or five hours have passed by now, and we should be hungry.
Walnut responded and went out to prepare. Erhe, who was in the west, had already taken out a piece of paper from his arms. It was the piece of paper on which the director had put his name and fingerprints. It said Princess Duanjing's Mansion.
Changes in the "Gold Awarding Festival". Erhe has a cautious temperament and thinks a lot. In addition, when it comes to foreign vassals, there is no small matter.
He didn't want to leave hidden dangers for Brother Jiu, so he got this piece of paper. Otherwise, if you say something unfounded and really alert the court, then turn around and deny it, you will cause trouble to the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu took it and read it. He was angry at first, and then he was dumbfounded when he saw the rumored paragraph at the back.
To know the imperial court
"Using Han to control Han" has been promoting ethics for decades. Princesses remarry have become extinct, let alone the fact that the husband-in-law is still alive and has to raise a little lover.
If this is true, I am afraid that not only will the emperor not punish the prince-in-law, but he will send someone to reprimand and deal with the princess.
The court cannot afford to lose face like this. The Qing Dynasty established its country outside the customs and was belittled by Confucian scholars in the Central Plains.
"Savages are rude". The imperial court has been promoting etiquette since the time of Emperor Shizu, also in order to win the hearts of scholars from all over the world.
"Is this true or false?" Brother Jiu looked at Erhe and asked. Erhe shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, I'm just a slave. It's just that my brother-in-law dares to raise a problem. There must be something unreasonable about the princess' behavior." After all, there are elders around the brother-in-law, and currently the commander of the right banner of the Karaqin tribe is here. It's Prince Du Ling, the princess's father-in-law.
If the prince-in-law hadn't been in a hurry, he probably wouldn't have acted in such a rebellious manner. Brother Jiu pointed to the position of the official room and said: "What do you mean by fifty Mongolians? If I am so confident, how can I still feel guilty?" Erhe said: "It must be a moment of panic, fear of causing trouble or something. He asked someone to follow the slave to find out how much he knew. The slave thought that he was a fool and didn't know everything, so he didn't send anyone back in advance to report the news, for fear that they would misunderstand and jump to the wall." Brother Jiu looked at it. Looking at Erhe, he asked: "Are you sure the princess is okay for the time being?" Erhe nodded and said: "If there was a risk for life, I'm afraid I would have kept silent long ago. There would be no trouble and there would be rumors outside." But time passed. When it gets longer, it becomes difficult to tell.
Who knows whether this incident of buying food will shock others and lead them to do other things. Brother Jiu had a straight face and thought of Princess Kejing.
Princess Kejing's prince-in-law became arrogant after inheriting the throne of Khan, and prepared to marry Xiang Fujin at the Khan's residence.
Will Princess Duanjing’s consort be the same?
"The thief shouts to catch the thief", deliberately pouring a basin of sewage into the princess, and plotting something else? There was a age difference between him and Princess Duanjing. He was already ten years old when Princess Duanjing got married.
Because of the tenth elder brother, the two siblings have met and interacted with each other many times. If you want to say that Princess Rongxian and Princess Kejing are arrogant, Brother Jiu will believe it; but Princess Duanjing has a character similar to that of Jiu Gege.
Brother Jiu felt that he should not just follow what others say, but should listen to what Princess Duanjing said. He breathed out, and seeing Erhe's face full of exhaustion, he said: "Okay, let's rest for now. I'll keep this matter in my heart. I will write a letter to the emperor and wait for the judgment!" If the princess's palace was in the capital, he would I must have gone immediately to support the princess and clarify the matter; but that was the princess's palace in Mongolia, and the ninth prince could not go there without the emperor's order.
But if you know about this and still ignore it, then you won't be able to explain it to Brother Ten later.
Also, rebellion is rebellion. Even if there is a reason, the Mongols cannot really be allowed to neglect the royal princess at will.
Erhe responded and went down. Walnut was coming back with the food box. When he saw this, he handed it to Erhe and said, "Fu Jin ordered me to prepare this for you." Heerhe hurriedly took it and said, "I'm sorry for Fuji's trouble, but also for my girl's trouble." Walnut said: "You're welcome." Erhe picked up the food box and left. Walnut picked up the curtain and entered the room. He reported to Shu Shu, checked the teapot on the smoker, and then left.
Brother Jiu took the piece of paper, sat down by the kang, handed it to Shu Shu and said: "I can't leave anymore, I have to wait for Khan Ama to give me permission..." The next update will be at 12 noon on June 25th.
