"It would be great if Ninth Brother was in charge of the river work. They would definitely not be allowed to take advantage!" Thirteenth Brother said. After hearing this, the fourth elder brother remembered the behavior of the ninth elder brother.
There are not enough people in the prince's residence, just because there are too many people, and everyone will have less work to do. Before leaving the palace, I got it done at my brother's house
"The more you work, the more you get" rewards come, instead of being rewarded directly like other elder brothers. There is also the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the past, there were many children of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were employed on a temporary basis and had no pay.
After Brother Ninth passed away, he asked people to find out all of them. He didn't make a one-size-fits-all decision, but instead ordered each department to record attendance records.
If you are absent from work for three days without any reason, your salary and food for that month will be deducted directly. After three months of detention, he was dismissed. As for false attendance, any whistleblower who makes a true report will directly receive half a year's salary from the person being reported, and will also be kept confidential.
Anyway, it’s all about tapping. Brother Ninth himself was accused twice of being lazy, but the atmosphere in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has improved more than a little bit.
The fourth elder brother knew that the ninth elder brother was not doing this to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or to make drastic reforms or anything like that. It was purely because he was working on his own and did not want others to be idle.
It's just a child's calculation. After the thirteenth elder brother finished speaking, he rejected it and said: "Hedao Yamen has to go to Hedao. It's too hard. Ninth elder brother can't bear it." The fourth elder brother thought of the ninth elder brother's body, which was indeed not suitable for being sent as a foreign mission. The wind blew It's raining; it's not suitable to be placed in a yamen like Hedao Yamen, which is constantly litigating and criticizing each other. When the time comes, who is right and who is wrong will not be told, and Jiu Age will not be able to bear it if he is angry.
Brother Ninth is capable, but he must be used with care, and the yamen he will go to in the future must also be chosen carefully. He looked at the Thirteenth Brother and said: "If we don't solve the problem fundamentally, it doesn't make much sense just to send people to the Hedao Yamen to hold the money." The Thirteenth Brother said: "Then how to solve the problem fundamentally? Court officials "Han vacancies are obtained through examinations, and flag vacancies are filled according to status. The former is based on knowledge, while the latter is based on family background and ancestral merit. As for my character, it is hard to say." He pretends to be a good person in front of others. , but no one can guarantee it when doing things in private.
This greed for money is a secret matter, and no one dares to do it openly. The fourth elder brother is not a rigid person, and he also knows that bad habits in today's officialdom are difficult to support honest officials.
He mused: "The best way is to open up the source of money and provide monetary subsidies in addition to the official salary, so that officials can live without worries and can do their jobs better. In this way, if there are those who are greedy for ink, they should be severely punished instead of being as lenient as now. Corrupt officials will be dismissed from office and punished with redemption..." This makes corrupt officials lose their respect.
The Thirteenth Brother's eyes lit up and he said: "Open source, isn't this the strength of Ninth Brother? He relies on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and can earn millions of taels of silver from just a small amount of money. What if? If you go to the Ministry of Finance, your capital will increase?" After hearing this, the fourth elder brother was moved.
Indeed. Brother Jiu can double his profit with a capital of more than one million taels of silver. What about the capital of several million taels of silver?
It’s just that the current Ninth Brother can’t do it. Too young and inexperienced. After five or eight years, when I got out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I happened to be in the Ministry of Household Affairs... In the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ninth elder brother sneezed several times one after another.
He wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. Tears came out. He looked at the twelfth elder brother in the corner with suspicion and said, "Are you thinking about Master Digu?" The twelfth elder brother looked up, showing a bit of confusion.
Brother Jiu sniffed, knowing that he had guessed wrong. He couldn't help but worry. Could it be that he caught a cold?
He hurriedly asked He Yuzhu to make ginger and jujube tea, held it with both hands, and drank a cup of hot tea before his nose felt better.
The elders in the family, the younger ones, he and Shushu, are all more careful, for fear of catching a cold and passing it on to the children.
But thinking about entering the ninth lunar month today, my breath turned to frost this morning, it was indeed cold. He told the twelfth elder brother: "It's cold and uncomfortable. Starting tomorrow, I won't be coming in the morning. If you come here in the morning, if there is any urgent errand, you can send someone directly to the prince's mansion." When Khan Ama came back, He was about to hand over the coupons, so he didn't have to be very diligent at the moment.
The twelfth elder brother said: "Then...when will the ninth brother leave this afternoon?" At the beginning, it was almost before Ji Chu arrived, and Shen Chu left.
In the future, it will be changed before arriving at the first time, or before leaving at the first time, wouldn't it mean that you just stay in the Yamen for an hour? After hearing this, Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "Now it will be dark in the second quarter of Shen Zheng. I can't go home in the dark. Your Sister-in-law Ninth should be worried, so let Shen Zheng go!" Brother Twelve thought very much. I have to remind him that in that case, the time spent in the Yamen will be only one and a half hours.
He choked for a moment and said, "Brother Ninth, what if the censor impeaches him again?" It had only been a few days since Zhezi came to plead guilty.
After hearing this, Brother Ninth took it to heart and said, "Don't worry, I have a way." Brother Ninth's method was very simple. He asked Imperial Physician Jiang to take a pulse. He made a note on the pulse. If he even felt cold, he would prescribe it. Got the recipe.
As it enters the ninth lunar month, the weather outside plummets, and the ground dragon in the house becomes even hotter. If there is no heat, the room will be warm and not so warm.
With this alternation of hot and cold, everyone has some minor problems, such as stuffy nose, coughing and so on.
It is not unusual for Brother Jiu to have a pulse like this. Everyone knows that he is weak. It would be rare if I didn't get sick once or twice throughout the year.
When the censor found out that Brother Jiu had stopped going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was also troubled. There was only one impeachment in October, and we have to do it again. Is it necessary to do so intensively?
If we impeach again, there will be enmity. It seems like they said the ninth prince
It's like "knowing your mistakes and never correcting them". Then when they saw Brother Jiu appearing in the afternoon, some people couldn't understand it. However, the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has many people on duty. In addition to doctors, chiefs and commissioned chiefs, there are also sixty-four writing posts.
Everyone could see clearly that Brother Ninth had plasters on his temples and was suffering from illness. He came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day to handle government affairs.
If anyone again says that Master Jiu is tired of official duties, they will spit on him. Several censors from the Censor Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs breathed a sigh of relief.
No need to worry. Again and again, they dare not do it again. Brother Ninth didn't get angry, but there were two brothers, Master Ten and Master Five, protecting him.
Others said that the fifth elder brother had to come to the Yamen again. This was because he was worried that the ninth elder brother was really uncomfortable and would not take good care of his illness, which would make the minor illness serious.
I came here specifically to urge Brother Jiu to have a good rest for a few days. The ninth elder brother wanted to curse and swear, so that the fifth elder brother could believe that there was nothing wrong with him.
Then, the fifth elder brother left with a box of plasters. It turns out that the plaster on Brother Jiu’s temple is called
"Chasing the wind". No particularly complicated medicinal ingredients are used, mainly mint and borneol, just for refreshing the mind.
The fifth brother thought it sounded good and asked for a box to go. Within two days, Brother Fourteen also asked for a box.
Spring is sleepy, autumn is tired, summer takes a nap, and winter is March when I can't wake up. For students, winter is also difficult and lacks energy.
The result is this
The effect of "Wind Chasing Patch" is still very obvious. The hotter the room, the better the effect of the medicine will be, and the mind will be clearer.
When the emperor's grandsons and Prince Ping saw this, they were also ready to take action. How can Brother Fourteen let them post this? They are all brats.
He just said that he had a headache due to the wind and cold, so he used this to get across the lake. From time to time, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the ninth elder brother went to the Yamen with illness, and that the fourteenth elder brother was also diligent and studious. The reputation of the two brothers actually improved a lot.
In Yuqing Palace, the prince frowned after hearing the rumors outside. Brother Fourteen is a half-year-old child, so don’t worry about it.
Brother Ninth, why are you so motivated? Is it because of the impeachment of the censor, or is it due to other reasons? Is this because there is a new head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and he is beginning to seize power?
The prince was very happy that Jin Yiren was promoted to the head of the House of Internal Affairs. In the future, he could avoid the ninth elder brother when making orders.
As for Ninth Brother's current diligence, the prince really couldn't guess what Ninth Brother was thinking at the moment. He only felt that this younger brother was disobedient, willful and rude... Ninth Brother always liked to hear good things, and he heard He Yuzhu mention his reputation. Reversing the situation, I went to Huangdaizi out of curiosity, changed into ordinary clothes, and found two teahouses to sit in.
Beautiful. because of his
"Go to the Yamen when you are sick," someone started praising him. After all, there are still only a few people with connections and privileges. Most of the more than 4,000 officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been working in ordinary jobs.
Previously, people in the market said that Brother Jiu was not good and that he would be punished for being greedy for money, stingy, and jealous. Everyone just said a few words.
However, as the concubine's family fell down one by one, the main force who dared to fan the flames and talk about the bad things of Ninth Prince were dispersed.
The ordinary coating was left, and I had some concerns. The Ninth Prince came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to block the way for the children of relatives to make progress, and gave more people a fair and just environment to fill the vacancies.
Some people started thinking about Brother Jiu. After accumulation, it all comes out at once. The reputation of Ninth Brother has been reversed.
Brother Jiu had heard too much, but he was not proud. When he got home, he babbled to Shu Shu: "I finally understand what it means to win money with everyone's mouth!" Shu Shu, however, thought too much and said, "Someone is fanning behind me. Are you starting a fire? Is it to kill?" Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, what he said is all the truth, and there is no exaggeration." Since he became an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the privileges of the descendants of relatives have been blocked, making more Coating benefits.
But just because his relatives slandered him, those who benefited from him didn't say a word of justice.
Now that those relatives have fallen, there are positive comments. Brother Jiu said: "It's true that the county officials are not as good as the current ones. They are not afraid of offending me, but they are afraid of offending those dandies." Shu Shu said: "It's difficult to deal with villains. With my identity, I won't really bow to those people." Careful." Brother Jiu thought thoughtfully and said: "Everyone in the Eight Banners loves to gossip. This is not a good habit. If someone does something bad, it will be just like the inexplicable cheating in the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination the year before last... "Shu Shu did not speak casually.
It is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river. Public opinion can only be guided, not suppressed, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Despite the voice of justice, if there are villains who rely on slander to seek personal gain and criticize their opponents, that would be really scary.
Words are like knives, they can hurt others, and they can also hurt themselves... Please vote for the third update, and everyone will watch the fourth update tomorrow morning, ^_^.
