Brother Si thought, feeling uneasy.
Even if Aktun made mistakes before, he has been punished and times have changed.
If the fourteenth elder brother drags the other younger elders and ignores the elder brother in Yuqing Palace, what will the prince think and what will Khan Ama think?
He speeded up, ate his lunch in a hurry, stood up, and said, "I'll go to the fifth place and have a look."
Sifujin saw the seriousness in his eyebrows, as if he wanted to teach others, and said softly: "Master, at the age of fourteenth brother, it is the time when you need to face the most shame. I speak softly. Today If you have anything to tell me on his birthday, it will be the same in a few days."
The fourth elder brother thought about the temperament of the fourteenth elder brother and snorted coldly: "As for his virtue, even if I say it softly, I still praise him, and I want to criticize him more and more!"
Sifu Jin said: "But the banquet tonight has been decided. Except for the thirteenth brother, the other brothers and sisters have not been invited. I scolded the fourteenth brother and cried. He brought him out in front of a bunch of children at night. He couldn't explain it." We still need to alarm the emperor!"
Fourth elder brother frowned, glanced at Si Fujin, and said, "I understand."
A loving mother often loses her children, so she will have to pay more attention to Honghui's upbringing in the future.
Otherwise, if his nephew is like an uncle, he will not hesitate to be a strict father...
*
At the entrance of Nanwusuo.
The Fourteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince got off their horses.
The fourteenth elder brother has a day off today, and the thirteenth elder brother has already come out of the study room.
His eight haha beads exited the study room together.
As usual, the prince's haha pearls can be used to replace the bodyguards, but there is currently no shortage of Shangsanqi bodyguards. The Thirteenth Prince has not opened a mansion himself, so the prince's bodyguards cannot be replaced for the time being. When he comes back, he will basically be running errands by his side until he opens the mansion. Fill the vacancy, or wait for the vacancy of the palace guards.
Today, the Thirteenth Prince accompanied the Fourteenth Prince back to the palace.
"It's true, Khan Ama, it's already dinner time, and you didn't ask us to stay for dinner?"
The fourteenth brother handed the reins to the eunuch and complained to the thirteenth brother.
After some delay in Yonghe Palace, the empress pulled me and talked for half an hour, and brought out birthday gifts in large and small packages.
Just as he expected, Concubine De burst into tears when a handle of Ruyi was presented to her personally.
Ben prepared a new end cap for him, as well as a Pegasus horse's coat, four sets of quilted clothes, four pairs of boots, and two hats. But it turned out that there were not enough, so he asked someone to dig out a new pocket watch for him, and also gave him a new pocket watch. There is a red-hot exquisite gold sachet.
Due to this delay, it was early afternoon when Brother Fourteen arrived at Qianqing Palace.
The thirteenth elder brother accompanied him in and kowtowed to Kangxi, thanking him for his kindness.
Father and son talk happily.
After talking for a quarter of an hour, they were asked to come down.
No food left!
The thirteenth elder brother said: "Last year was the year of great planning. Many outstanding officials were promoted and met in the capital. They were not scheduled to go to work the year before. The same is true for some of the officials in the capital who were sent abroad."
The fourteenth elder brother did not respond. When he got into the room, he said: "I heard in the teahouse outside that the imperial court is strict and has great plans for the world. There are more than thirty outstanding officials, but they are greedy, careless, incompetent, impetuous,... There are more than 300 people who are old and sick, and not just one or two people came to the official office a few years ago, but the money they receive is lenient."
The Thirteenth Elder Brother said: "I can't believe it. The big plan is the governor's job. After the big plan, officials will have rewards and punishments according to the rules. There are few who dare to do anything at this time, and there are still censors watching."
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother, slightly nervous, and said: "Thirteenth elder brother, where is your errand? Is it the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Although the Thirteenth Brother only retired from the study this year, in fact last year he worked as a miscellaneous person with the retinue.
Sometimes I'm with the eldest brother, and sometimes I'm with the fourth brother, so the fourteenth brother is more concerned.
He also wants to join the Ministry of War!
But he won't be able to leave the study room until the year after tomorrow.
Although brothers are brothers and have a good relationship, he is also worried that the thirteenth brother will have a foothold in the Ministry of War and will have nowhere to go!
He didn't even want to go to the nearby ministry office.
Whatever he thinks is written on his face, that's about it.
The thirteenth elder brother felt helpless and said patiently: "The Ministry of War is the same as the Ministry of Personnel. There will be no princes to supervise it. Even if the eldest brother is walking in the Ministry of War now, he is just walking. He has also been in other yamen before, working with the workers in the Lifan Courtyard. It takes quite a long time to stay at the ministry. I guess it starts with either the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the past two years, River Engineering has been very busy, and there are more than a dozen yamen in the ministry. After all, six or seven years have passed. .”
Brother Fourteen understood after hearing this.
Everyone has a share in the Ministry of War.
Also, since he has been working as a errand for two years, he will not fall behind the Thirteenth Brother too much.
He immediately put it down and said: "Anyway, I have no interest in other yamen. I just want to go to the Ministry of War. The northwest is not peaceful. Even if there is no war by then, I will still look for opportunities to go down there."
The thirteenth brother knew that he was keen on military affairs and determined to be a general king, so he reminded: "Besides everything else, you should still practice archery in an appropriate amount every day. If you go too far, you will really hurt your arm. Stop using the Seven-Li Bow. No one in the army will obey you!"
Although their status is noble and they are in command of soldiers in the army, in the Eight Banners Army, in addition to their status, they also recognize their skills.
If you really don't have real ability and just try to get military glory in the past, no one will say anything on your face, and you won't be able to talk behind your back and look down on you.
The fourteenth elder brother thought of the emperor's father's fourteenth strength and the eleventh strength revealed by the elder brother. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That can't be done. I will definitely be more powerful than the elder brother!"
Brother Si walked to the door and heard the last two sentences.
The thirteenth elder brother is friendly to his brothers. Basically, he is a good brother who is friendly to his younger brothers.
The fourteenth elder brother's bold talk has no intention of respecting his elder brother.
The fourth elder brother wanted to teach him a lesson when he opened his mouth, but thinking of Si Fujin's advice, he did not intend to reprimand the fourteenth elder brother today, lest he make a mistake and make everyone uneasy.
He coughed, stepped harder, picked up the cotton curtain at the door and came in.
Seeing this, the Thirteenth Brother quickly stood up and said, "Fourth Brother, you are here!"
The fourteenth elder brother also got up, but he looked at the fourth elder brother and questioned: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't come out. What if you are over your illness?"
It was the first lunar month, and he didn’t want to drink bitter medicinal soup to cause illness.
The fourth elder brother felt that he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he still wanted to teach his younger brother!
Seeing the two people staring at each other, Brother Thirteen was afraid of choking, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Four, please take a seat. Are you worried about the dinner tonight? Come and take a look?"
The fourth elder brother looked at the close face of the thirteenth elder brother, and his anger was reduced by three points, and said: "Well, I just came here to ask, have you all been invited? You are the elders, and the rest in the study are juniors, so it's not easy to tell them apart. Three, six or nine times!"
Before the Thirteenth Brother could speak, the Fourteenth Brother had already curled his lips and said: "Am I a fool? I am a comprehensive person, and I don't understand this little bit of human kindness? Nersu won't say anything anymore. The grandson of the family is a lonely little boy. It's pitiful, the others are all nephews, so I still have to be close to one and alienate that?"
However, the thirteenth elder brother suddenly understood the meaning of the fourth elder brother's reminder. He was worried about the three elder brothers in Yuqing Palace.
When we went to the study room, we were divided into four groups earlier.
He and the fourteenth elder brother are together, the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are together with Nersu, Hongyu, Hongqing and Hongsheng are together, and the two younger elder brothers from Yuqinggong are together. .
This year he quit the upper study room, and the third elder brother Honghui, Hongshu and Yuqinggong entered the upper study room, and the layout of the upper study room changed.
Now there are three groups, the fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, Nersu's group, Hong Yu and other five emperor grandsons who came from outside the palace, and the three younger elder brothers from Yuqing Palace.
This group does not mean that they only play with their friends, ignore others, and can only talk about schoolyard conversations on weekdays.
In fact, they are all uncles and nephews, and they all look pretty good, with the exception of the three younger brothers from Yuqing Palace.
None of us are very close or familiar with that place.
When the Fourteenth Brother planned to treat him, he really didn't plan to invite those three people at first. It was the Thirteenth Brother who persuaded him in private and reasoned with him.
It's just that the Fourteenth Elder Brother and the Fourth Elder Brother have some inherent differences. He can listen to the Thirteenth Elder Brother's advice, but he can't listen to the Fourth Elder Brother's.
Brother Si was scolded and felt bored.
He knew that the fourteenth elder brother was a docile donkey, and he also knew that Si Fujin's advice to him was good words, but he did not have the patience to coax the fourteenth elder brother, and said with a cold face: "Just understand the principles of human relations, and you should be a good person in the future. Got it!"
With that said, he stood up and left without waiting for Brother Fourteen's reaction.
Brother Fourteen didn't react for a moment.
When he realized it, he fell back in anger, looked at Brother Thirteen and said, "He's scolding me for not being a human being?"
Brother Thirteenth simply added fuel to the fire and said, "Brother Four didn't mean that. He meant being a good adult."
Brother Fourteen was not bothered by the lake, his eyes were red with anger, and he said: "He just scolded me and didn't want to see me well. He must have heard that the queen prepared many birthday gifts for me, and he was jealous, so he came over to yell at me." ! Ahhhh! Why? Those who rely on their old age and show off their old age come to harm others!"
