When Dong Dianbang brought up a document, Brother Jiu took it and read it, and realized that it was really official business.
It turns out that I passed by in May
After the scandal, there were not many good people left in the Accounting Department from top to bottom. Of the twelve grade officials, nine were dismissed; from the twenty-five pen posts, sixteen were dismissed.
But someone still needed to do the errands, so some people were transferred from other departments and a bunch of appointments were made. It's been half a year now, the assessment period is almost over, and it's time to take off the title of commission.
Brother Jiu took it over and looked at it, and said: "You are a doctor in our company. Your evaluation is related to the future of these people. Did you pass it?" Dong Dianbang nodded and said: "There are no mistakes in the work." What he said, It's just that someone had a minor problem, but it didn't delay the errands.
Brother Ninth is not a picky person, as long as there are no mistakes in his work, he wants to work, not a saint.
He said: "Okay, I understand. I will review it with the officials from other yamen." Among the seven departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Accounting Department and the Guangzhou Department correspond to the Ministry of Household Affairs of the outer dynasty. The Qingfeng Department is in charge of internal affairs. For pastures and cattle and sheep supplies inside and outside the capital, the Department of Ceremonies corresponds to the Ministry of Rites of the foreign dynasty, the Department of Yu corresponds to the Ministry of War of the foreign dynasty, the Department of Shen and Punishment corresponds to the Ministry of Punishment of the foreign dynasty, and the Department of Construction corresponds to the Ministry of Work of the foreign dynasty.
As for the yamen of the main hall where Brother Jiu is in charge, it corresponds to the official department of the outer dynasty. Zhang Baozhu and Gao Yanzhong, in addition to serving as assistants to Brother Nine, were also responsible for the selection of civil servants for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In May, there was a large vacancy in the Accounting Department, and about twenty people were transferred from other departments. Then, these twenty people left another twenty vacancies, and another twenty people were promoted from each department.
So in fact, there were about forty people in total who were assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in May. These people have been on the committee for half a year and can now review.
If the errand is qualified, he will be directly removed from the commission; if the errand is unqualified, the vacancy will be directly filled to fill other vacancies; if the errand is faulty, he will be demoted or exempted according to the rules.
Dong Dianbang did not leave immediately, but said calmly with a bit of annoyance: "Master Jiu, the gossip about the slave outside these days is caused by the slave's cousin. The slave is self-aware and has little qualifications, so he dare not worry about it. Others." Brother Jiu was a little surprised. He glanced at him and said, "The villain is causing trouble. Let them run around. It's not groundless. The emperor wants to recruit a new general manager from the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That's for sure. You have to choose from among the doctors in the various departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You are a doctor in the Accounting Department and you are also on the candidate list. How to choose depends on the Holy See." It seems that many members of the Dong family were dismissed in May. , is this turning against each other and deliberately causing trouble?
If the ninth elder brother is really petty, I'm afraid he will mark Dong Dianbang down. After all, he was first impeached and the rumors of adding a new head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were behind him, as if he was stepping on the face of the ninth elder brother.
However, Brother Jiu knew the inside story and recognized Dong Dianbang's ability, so he would not be angry with Dong Dianbang because of these gossips.
Dong Dianbang was very grateful for his reasonable appearance, and also expressed his worries, saying: "Thank you Jiuye for your sympathy, I am really scared these days. Not only are my relatives bullying each other, but I am also afraid that other people involved in May will be hurt." , to kill the slaves." Brother Jiu saw his humble and sincere attitude, and he also had a kind heart, and said: "Among the doctors in each department, the most junior ones are the two doctors in this hall, Mr. Zhang has been here for more than two years, and Mr. Gao has been here, adding up. It's been more than a year, and I think they all have no chance. You have only been filling in as a doctor for half a year. I'm afraid you still have to save your qualifications." Even if you are praised by others, you must be calm at this time and don't make a joke.
Dong Dianbang became more and more grateful and said: "I only hope to do my job well and live up to the emperor and Master Jiu's advice. I don't want anything else..." When Dong Dianbang left, the twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with curiosity and said : "Brother Ninth, are you forming a good relationship?" Dong Dianbang and Brother Ninth were not seen having any close contact on weekdays.
Ninth Brother is not a nosy person, but he said a few words today. The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "It is convenient for others, and it is convenient for yourself. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is like a sieve, you can make money everywhere, but the ones that involve the most money are the Accounting Department and the General Reserves Department. Dong Dianbang His family has a title, a strong foundation, and no shortage of money. Moreover, the "den" he handles has offended many people. No matter how many pairs of eyes are watching him, he can't be greedy. If he is a doctor, the atmosphere of the accounting department will be better. If there are few and you are capable enough, then do it for a few more years and don’t change people easily..."
"People outside are touting him as a popular candidate for the new general manager. They have two purposes. One is to kill people with a borrowed knife, so that people who care about this job will regard him as a thorn in their side and get rid of him, or let him hold a grudge and ruin his future; the other The intention is to 'praise and kill', hoping that he will be frivolous and reveal his pigtails..."
"Compared with those stinky rats in the gutter, I naturally feel that Dong Dianbang is more pleasing to the eye. I am so smart, how could I be fooled by them..." The twelfth elder brother summarized these words and understood the key.
Ninth Brother is still lazy and doesn't want to worry about major personnel changes in the future. So if you have someone as capable as Dong Dianbang, you should work hard.
He felt like he had learned something again. Brother Jiu is already distracted. He thought of Hangzhou Zhizao Mansion. The Jin family father and son not only controlled Hangzhou weaving for more than 30 years, but also managed Hangzhou customs.
Let's not talk about others, just the Ji family, the richest man in Jiangnan, controls the foreign goods trade in Jiangnan, and they must have paid tribute to the Jin family.
In May, the Ministry of Internal Affairs ransacked their homes, and the internal treasury suddenly increased by several percent. The Jin family didn't know what would happen.
Do I want to remind Khan Amma? Don't let the Jin family move their furniture. When sending people to take over the weaving in Hangzhou, did they also pay attention to the whereabouts of the Jin family's private property?
Just as he was thinking, there was movement at the door. Wei Zhu is here.
"Master Jiu, the emperor summoned..." Brother Jiu heard this and said with joy, "I was thinking about when to go to greet Khan Ama!" If not, I went to see him for a matter about the Jin family. , thinking about what to think about.
The original plan was to wait until Shengjia came back from Nanyuan Paddock. Brother Jiu saw a few documents handed over by Dong Dianbang, yes, and this one.
Wei Zhu was familiar with Brother Ninth, and when he saw him jumping for joy, he had to remind him in a low voice: "Master Jiu, the Emperor is not very happy." Brother Ninth's smile froze, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
Isn't this pleasant? Then why pass him? What mistake has he made recently? It seems not? If I could find fault, it would be the matter of privately sending people to Mongolia.
Isn't that where you can buy food nearby? Not wrong, right? If he were in the capital, it would be a mistake to send people out of the customs privately; but since everyone is outside the customs, on the border of Mongolia, if he picks on this again, is he looking for trouble?
Brother Ninth felt depressed. Why doesn’t Khan Amma know how to eat people and be soft-spoken? He was full of curses in his heart, but with a bit of honesty on his face, he whispered to Wei Zhu: "Good brother, thank you. I have been in Rehe for more than ten days this time and got a lot of wolf skins. I will ask someone to give them to the wolves later." Leather mattress." Wolf-skin mattresses are good at moisture-proofing and are not of use now if the earthworms are burned, but they are best used after spring and in August and September.
Wei Zhu felt helpless and said, "Thank you Jiuye for thinking about it. Please don't say anything about my good brother." If this leaks out, it will be his own fault.
The ninth elder brother obeyed the advice and immediately said: "Look, sir, you warned me first, and you won't do it again. You just have to know it in your mind. From now on, my eldest elder brother will go to the palace to study, and let him call you 'Shuida'" ." Wei Zhu is two years younger than the ninth elder brother, only sixteen years old. Due to his status, there are not many people he can get close to. With a bit of sincerity, he nodded and said: "Then slave is waiting." The two said Then, we arrived outside Qianqing Palace.
Brother Jiu stopped talking, feeling a little uneasy. When Wei Zhu went in to deliver the message and then came out, Brother Jiu followed him into Xinuang Pavilion.
In Xinuan Pavilion, besides Kangxi, there was also Ma Qi. Ma Qi was sitting, but when he saw Brother Jiu coming in, he stood up and said respectfully: "Master Jiu..."
"Master Ma..." Brother Jiu did not shy away. He accepted the gift and nodded in return. Kangxi watched the interaction between teachers and students. He didn't say anything else. He just glared at Brother Ninth and said angrily: "You have been back in Kyoto for four days, and you have been on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three days. You didn't think about what you should do?" When Brother Jiu heard this, it didn't sound like he was going to hold him accountable for sending people to Mongolia.
His mind was a little confused, thinking about the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The mountains of cinders had been removed, and the roads in the imperial city had been paved. Is there anything else that needed to be looked at? He thought of Dong Dianbang, hesitated, and asked: "Han Amma is talking about those ministers and principals of the May Commission? They haven't checked whether they are good or bad, and it is estimated that the results will not come out until late..." Kangxi stared at him, neither saying yes, nor saying no, just A dissatisfied look.
Brother Ninth also had a sad face, he had to give me a message, right? This is so nonsense, how can anyone guess? Ma Qi is here
"Quietly" reminded: "Master Jiu, the censor impeaches..." Brother Jiu was still a little confused. Didn’t the impeachment of the censor happen at the beginning of last month?
Is this going to be arranged again? Ma Qi had no choice but to say: "You haven't written a confession yet..." Brother Jiu was stunned.
Yes, after being impeached, you have to plead guilty. I was out at the time and didn't think about this.
After returning to Beijing, there is no time to delay. The ninth elder brother looked at Kangxi, admitted his mistake honestly, and said: "My son was negligent. I didn't expect this to come. My son will deliver it today!" Kangxi thought that the root cause of the prince's irritability was the gatherings of his elder brothers. Every time the elder brothers got together, they would The leader was none other than Ninth Brother.
The key is, why don’t you want to invite yourself, the Khan Amma? The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only half a mile away from Qianqing Palace, so I have enough time to speak.
Even the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers who went to study in the study went there without thinking of inviting me.
Not just once. He said angrily: "I don't do my job all day long, I just think about eating and drinking. If there is no proper person to watch, my internal affairs office will be in trouble!" The ninth elder brother did not refute, and was scolded as he was.
Before lunch yesterday, he really thought for a moment, thinking that if the emperor knew that they were having dinner together in private, he would be jealous.
Sure enough, the old man didn't have any food and felt unhappy. This is an excuse today...
