Brother Jiu was very well-behaved and had no intention of talking back.
Kangxi really wanted to scold him, but thinking of what he had received a few days ago, he stopped.
There is no better son than a father.
He is not very smart, and he has probably forgotten all about being impeached.
Kangxi was also tired.
As a pro-Amma, I can tolerate the laziness of the ninth elder brother, but can the prince tolerate it?
The answer is not hard to guess.
The prince cannot tolerate it.
But the prince can't even tolerate a prince like Jiu Age who doesn't belong to the court, so how can the prince tolerate other people?
Kangxi's heart was heavy, and he waved to Brother Jiu and said, "Go down and write. Once you've written it, ask someone to send it over!"
Brother Jiu agreed honestly, bowed and retreated.
He knew in his heart that after writing this apology document, the selection of a new manager from among the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would begin.
Then for ten days and a half, there was no suitable candidate.
At the end of the month or the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, it’s time to mention Jin Yiren.
Brother Jiu made a mental note that if he wanted to make money in the future, he would need to avoid Jiangnan.
Jiangnan needs stability.
Although Jiangnan is rich, the situation is too complicated. Even Khan Ama is cautious about Jiangnan, and it takes so long to punish a slave.
In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi asked Ma Qi to sit down again and said: "He is careless, impatient, and has a lot of problems."
Ma Qi couldn't help but say that the ninth elder brother was not the right one. He only said: "There are times when I am careful. Everyone said that the road in the imperial city is much easier."
Back then, the road conditions were not good. It rained in summer and snowed in winter, so it was easy to get muddy.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "There is no regulation for the one in the east and the other in the west..."
Speaking of this, he pondered: "Last month, the ninth elder brother was away, and the twelfth elder brother was on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How do you think the twelfth elder brother behaves?"
Ma Qi thought about it and said, "Master Twelve is mature, steady and patient, and the emperor has taught me well."
After hearing this, Kangxi felt better and said, "How do you compare the 12th elder brother with the 9th elder brother?"
Ma Qi felt a little weird in his heart and said: "Master Ninth has financial advantages, is honest with others, and has great trust in his subordinates. Master Twelve has relatively few interactions with his servants, so it's difficult to elaborate on the details."
Kangxi said: "I have told you before that teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is teaching. Brother Twelve, please take the time to keep an eye on me and help me take care of one or two."
Ma Qi had a bad feeling.
This is really weird to say.
The emperor's son has a high status, how can he be cared for by servants?
Kangxi, with a look of trust on his face, said: "There are not many people I can trust. Those who love you and are capable should work harder."
Ma Qi bowed and said: "I don't dare. I am determined to assist the Twelfth Master in the internal affairs office."
Although the twelfth elder brother works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ma Qi is the general manager, there is a distinction between seniority and inferiority. This is correct.
Kangxi looked at Ma Qi and said, "Don't be too unorthodox. I'll teach you what needs to be taught in the future."
Ma Qi raised his head and looked at Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at him with a firm expression.
Ma Qi lowered his eyes and said, "I follow the emperor's orders..."
*
The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing the twelfth elder brother busy with daily chores, the ninth elder brother found out his conscience and did not transfer the task of writing an "apology letter" to the twelfth elder brother.
He lowered his head and rummaged through several drawers of the desk.
Sure enough, he found what he was looking for, the draft of the last apology.
I kept it specially at that time just in case.
Brother Jiu laid out his pen and paper and rewrote one based on the previous apology letter.
It's just that his current mood is different from that in May.
He feels that he has grown a lot and is much more peaceful.
He added more sincere words to the apology letter, such as saying that due to solar terms, he was occasionally weak and slacked off on duty, which was really not the case. He would pay more attention to his health in the future, and work hard and diligently on his duties.
By the time he finished writing, he felt a little annoyed.
Tomorrow is the eighth day of the eleventh month, and the emperor will go to Nanyuan for a siege.
After waiting for two days to rest after the trip, it was time for the Holy Master to patrol the Yongding River and visit the mausoleum.
At that time, it will be around the time of Laba to return to Luang.
Calculated before and after this, it is a month.
Brother Ninth had planned well, waiting for the Holy Emperor to leave the palace, and then started to go to the Yamen for a long time, but it didn't seem to work.
I'm going to hand over a confession today and continue to be lazy tomorrow. Isn't this looking for scolding?
I can only persist.
I guess I won't really be able to rest until I get to the seal.
Brother Jiu wrote the note with great bitterness and hatred. He originally planned to ask He Yuzhu to send it to him, but after thinking about it, he held back and made a trip himself.
Be humble.
Especially when the emperor's father was unhappy.
By the time he sent the apology note and came out of Qianqing Palace, it was already midday.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers are already waiting at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "Are you still planning to come to heaven?"
Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "Just for today, Brother Thirteen and I will go to Nanyuan tomorrow."
The ninth elder brother remembered the visit to the Yongding River. He looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said, "After Nanyuan comes back, Khan Ama is going to patrol the Yongding River. Will he take you and the fourth brother with him?"
That time in the spring, the Holy Master took the Fourth Elder Brother and the Thirteenth Elder Brother with him when he patrolled the Yongding River.
The fourth elder brother is in the household department. This is considered related. The thirteenth elder brother will also go to the household department in the future?
Brother Thirteen nodded and said, "Yes, Khan Ama sent someone to tell you."
The fourteenth brother said dissatisfiedly: "Khan Ama, it's true, the thirteenth brother hasn't left the study yet, why do you bring him with you every time and not me?"
Brother Ninth rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Thirteen will have to make up for his errands next year, and he has learned almost all the lessons in the study. How about you? If you really don't learn and have no skills, you wander around the world and end up becoming a straw bag. The prince calls people a joke?"
The fourteenth elder brother's eyes widened and he really couldn't understand why the ninth elder brother would say this.
If there is a fool among the princes, it won't be his Fourteenth Master!
He was unconvinced and said: "Look at what Ninth Brother said, it seems that I don't study hard. My riding and shooting skills are top-notch, I haven't fallen behind in my Manchu and Chinese lessons, I'm proficient in Mongolian and Mongolian, and I'm good at everything." It has nothing to do with idiots!"
Brother Jiu raised his eyelids and said, "Where's the art of martial arts? Where's the art of war? Where's the foreign literature? Where's the Code of the Qing Dynasty?"
The fourteenth elder brother puffed out his chest and said: "My academic skills are above average, I am familiar with the Art of War, and I can speak French and English. I have even briefly studied the Laws of the Qing Dynasty!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
He didn't believe it.
Brother Fourteen is like a monkey on weekdays, jumping up and down, but can he sit still?
Did you actually learn well?
Not biased?
He looked at Brother Thirteen.
The Thirteenth Brother smiled and nodded, and said: "The Fourteenth Brother is excellent in both civil and military studies, and Khan Ama praised him."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother twice, questioningly, and said: "Isn't it Khan Amma who coaxed you?"
The fourteenth elder brother quit and said: "Ninth elder brother, why do you look down on others? Who can tell lies? I am not the only one who is good at studying. Thirteenth elder brother is also good at his homework. Khan Ama has praised me several times."
Brother Jiu felt sour after hearing this, and said: "The treatment of the youngest son is really different. Others don't even get to praise you, but you do!"
If Fan had praised him back then, wouldn't it mean that he wasn't fooling around in class anymore?
Brother Ninth felt that his civil and military studies were unsatisfactory when he was in the study. It was not only his own fault, but also half of it was the emperor's father's fault!
Regardless of whether they ask or not, of course they don’t like to study.
What is big and what is small?
The third elder brother above served as a younger elder brother and went out to spend the summer with Shengjia at the age of seven; the fourth elder brother served as a younger elder brother and followed the Northern Expedition at the age of nine; the eighth elder brother also acted as a younger elder brother and followed the Northern Expedition at the age of eight.
When he and Lao Shi arrived, it was only when he was fifteen that he went out for the first time.
This biased old Ama!
This relationship between father and son is all managed by himself, can't it be somewhat natural?
The fourteenth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "I praise the ninth elder brother too much."
Brother Jiu snorted softly and said, "What are you bragging about?"
The fourteenth elder brother blinked his eyes, racked his brains, thought for a long time, and said: "Praise the ninth brother for his good work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the good marriage to Fujin, and the good birth of the emperor's grandson..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and felt even more worried...

It’s the last day of the month, so I’m asking for monthly tickets.
