In the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ninth elder brother stood in front of the twelfth elder brother's desk and looked at the twelfth elder brother.
The twelfth elder brother's hands and feet were so frightened by the sight that he stood behind the desk feeling a little uneasy.
Brother Jiu said: "The two of us are kissing each other!"
The junior sister will become the younger brother-in-law, and the teacher will become the father-in-law of the younger brother.
Brother Twelve blinked, could it still be considered like this?
Brother Jiu remembered that Ma Qi had several sons who were not adults, and couldn't help but smile: "When you open a mansion, there should be many Fucha guards in the mansion!"
In fact, it was just a coincidence.
Ma Qi's eldest son is the prince's hahazhu, and he is currently on an errand in the East Palace.
When we arrived at Ninth Brother's place, there was no manpower to take care of the palace. We happened to see that several grown-up concubines of the Ma Qi family were idle, so they promoted Fu Qing to be the bodyguard of the prince's palace.
As a result, Ma Qi's eldest daughter pointed out the eighth prince as his side wife, and the eighth prince also promoted a brother-in-law.
Ma Qi is very popular. He has stood high in the past two years and has been slandered a lot.
Three sons, serving three masters, this is where Ma Qi was criticized.
Ma Qi simply separated the three sons who were serving as servants.
The separation of Manchu families is different from the separation of Han people.
The Han people have a father-son relationship. Even if the family is separated, parents still have absolute rights over their sons.
It's different in Manchuria. After we separate, we become relatives.
Therefore, the Manchus were not very implicated in crimes, and it was also for this reason.
When a prince opens a palace, it is common for a prince to use his wife's family and wife's family in addition to the banner family members. That's why the ninth elder brother calls the twelfth elder brother like this.
The twelfth elder brother said: "It's still early. It will probably take three or four years before my thirteenth brother and I move out of the palace."
This is talking about the division of palaces between the eighteenth prince.
There is enough room for the elder brother in the current palace, but there is one empty Qianxi Fourth Palace for the seventeenth elder brother who will be divided into the palace next year, and then it will be full.
If the emperor's grandson comes in again, he can squeeze in with the others, but the prince's elder brother cannot do that.
Therefore, the twelfth and thirteenth princes, who are getting married this year, will probably move out of the palace in forty-three or forty-four years before the eighteenth prince enters the study.
Brother Ninth said: "That's quick to say. By the way, the first wedding ceremony for eldest brother is at the end of the month, and the wedding ceremony for you and Brother Thirteen is in April."
The twelfth elder brother lowered his head, not wanting to inquire.
Brother Ninth couldn't help but laugh "haha": "Aren't you and Brother Thirteen already qualified? You are both adults, why are you pretending to be shy?"
Both the twelfth elder brother's Qianxi Fifth Institute and the thirteenth elder brother's Ganxi Tou Institute have female dependents.
It's the same example as my brothers, one person and two beautiful ladies in clothes doing the check.
The twelfth elder brother felt uncomfortable thinking about the two princesses in the backyard, and said, "Ninth brother, why is no one impeaching you? Did the tenth brother send someone to the Yushi Yamen?"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "One or two, not three or three. This time the rumors spread quickly and were refuted quickly. I guess they also knew that it was not easy to be disappointed in the past few days."
Brother Twelve asked in confusion: "Why are they all trying so hard at Master Jin? Is there someone behind the scenes?"
Yesterday, the four censors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued three impeachment reports, impeaching Jin Yiren for a total of eight or nine charges including exercising power, amassing wealth, corruption, and favoritism.
Brother Jiu didn't say anything. He was related to the emperor, so it was hard to be sure; but this was not someone else, and he was not willing to make up lies.
When the twelfth elder brother saw this, he glanced at the ninth elder brother and stopped asking.

Next door, Jin Yiren's face was ashen.
The doctor he promoted was also worried and said: "Sir, which bastard is plotting against you? Is it Dong Dianbang or Gao Yanzhong?"
Jin Yiren was going smoothly, but this was the first time he encountered this.
I had heard that the imperial censor was jealous of others, but I didn't expect that the jealousy would happen to me so soon.
He looked at the doctor and said, "Tell me, what's going on in the Yushi Yamen? Why are you so restless like a troublemaker?"
Last year, people in the capital investigated the three major weaving companies, and they were related to a scandal in the Accounting Department. The scandal seemed to have been caused by the Yushi Yamen.
His promotion to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also related to the impeachment of the ninth elder brother by the censor.
The doctor said: "The year before last, Mr. Ha, the Censor of Zuodu and the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was busy with errands and had no time to keep an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he wrote a letter to the emperor to request an order to add a Censorship Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The officials who were not employed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were , the censor was directly transferred from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come over for the shift. It is an external vacancy. It is nominally under the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact it is not under the control of the Yamen here..."
"Master Jiu couldn't see people being idle, so he asked them to be responsible for writing off the accounts of various yamen. However, you also know that the censors use the support of others to gain a future. It's weird to work honestly. They just keep an eye on them. I’m going to the yamen of this hall..."
"Jiuye was impeached two or three times. Sanbeile was also impeached when he was appointed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ma Zhongtang's office was impeached once or twice a year. Mr. Ha himself was also impeached. It is not unusual for you to be impeached here. But it seems weird that there are so many inappropriate things planned by several people at the same time. It’s strange that no one is instructing..."
What made Jin Yiren embarrassed was that the impeachment document mentioned him as a guest twice, once for his wife's birthday, and once for his young daughter's "Zhou Zhou".
This is obviously a normal treat for guests to have dinner, but it is said to be an act of collecting money and extorting bribes. It is simply unreasonable.
It's true that he accepted the gift, but isn't this what he should be doing?
He is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There was no wine served on Jiu Fujin’s birthday and the Ninth Prince’s Mansion’s “Zhao Zhou”, but among the doctors below, who would dare to give less gifts?
In addition to Jiu Age's family, this is also true for the Maqi family and the Hayartu family.
All four of them were in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For the same thing, why did the censor only impeach himself?
Is this bullying him because of his shallow foundation?
The doctor comforted him and said: "The censor is the knife in front of the stage. Don't take it to heart, sir. It is common for them to bully the weak and fear the strong. This is using the master to gain reputation. Just treat them like barking dogs. Who calls them censors?" The Tenth Master dealt with them once, but they were recorded in the clan's mansion. The gain outweighs the loss. The key is to find the person behind it and then think of countermeasures."
Jin Yiren frowned and said: "Dong Dianbang was promoted to the fifth rank last year, and Gao Yanzhong was promoted the year before that. Both of them have ordinary qualifications. Could it be that he is the one from the Shenxing Division?"
The doctor in the hall was also confused and said: "This low-ranking official doesn't know, but it is true that the Shenxing Division has made a lot of achievements in the past two years."
Since the year before last, problems have arisen successively in the Construction Department, Imperial Kitchen Room, Accounting Department, and Guangzhou Treasury. Each time, it was the Criminal Punishment Department who investigated and finalized the case.
There should be dozens of officials who were dismissed in total. Every one of them was verified and it was the credit of the Criminal Punishment Department.
After thinking about it, he was really just short of promotion.
Jin Yiren listened and felt crisis.
Neither of them thought about the ninth and twelfth elder brothers next door.
That's the master, they are just handymen, they are not of the same weight at all.
At this moment, there was movement at the door, and a young eunuch came.
Jin Yiren has met his Majesty twice in the past two months. He knew that this young eunuch was a respectable person in the imperial court, so he stood up quickly and said: "Eunuch Wei..."
The emperor returned to the palace this morning, and everyone around him followed him back to Qianqing Palace.
It was Wei Zhu who came. He looked at Jin Yiren and said, "Master Jin, the emperor has summoned me and I want to see him immediately."
Jin Yiren hurriedly responded and followed Wei Zhu out to Qianqing Palace.
Jin Yiren felt uneasy, so he took off his purse and stuffed it directly into Wei Zhu's hand.
The purse is light and fluttering, and there is a "swish" origami sound in the hand.
Wei Zhu slowed down and glanced at Jin Yiren.
Jin Yiren did not dare to expect the other party to take the initiative to prompt him, so he asked in a low voice: "Is it about the impeachment of the censor?"
Wei Zhu nodded slightly and turned his head.
Jin Yiren's mind was racing, thinking about how to answer.
Behind him, at the door of the general manager's room, Brother Jiu was standing, looking at the backs of him and Wei Zhu.
Brother Jiu was still a little reluctant to give up. It was a pity that he was a capable person.
After a while, Jin Yiren and Wei Zhu arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace.
When Wei Zhu went in to report, he took Jin Yiren in.
In the Xinuan Pavilion, Kangxi sat on the kang and looked at Jin Yiren with an incomprehensible expression.
Jin Yiren felt his scalp numb and called Qian Qian: "Slave Jin Yiren pays his respects to the emperor and his master."
"Master? Do you still think of me as your master?"
Kangxi angrily scolded: "I transferred you back to Beijing as an errand. Is this how you repay me?"
Following the scolding, several pieces of paper fell on Jin Yiren.
Jin Yiren originally knelt on one knee, but immediately changed his knees and said: "This slave is scared, your Majesty, please calm down."
Kangxi said angrily: "You are still scared, aren't you quite brave? You use nepotism, hold banquets to make money, accept bribes, and interfere in the selection of military attachés, you are so brave!"
Jin Yiren's heart suddenly lifted.
If you really want to talk about it, the first few charges can be defended. He had a slight intervention in the choice of military attaché Quan.
Last year, many of the descendants of the relatives were withdrawn from the military camp, leaving some vacancies for low-level military attachés that were left unfilled.
Brother Ninth had never worried about this. Jin Yiren returned to the capital for the first time and started walking around with his old relatives. He wanted to sell favors, so he helped a few people.
Kangxi could no longer tolerate him, precisely because of this.
Jin Yiren hurriedly defended himself and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is unjustly accused. Although the selection of military attachés is in charge of Du Yusi, there are no regulations prohibiting the control of the general manager of the hall. Although the servants have added a few people, they all act in accordance with the rules. Alternate officials are also within the scope of selection. Inside."
Kangxi sneered and said: "Brother Ninth has long issued an order prohibiting relatives and descendants from giving priority to the election of by-elections. You, a slave, disobeyed orders and acted rebelliously. How can you be unjustly accused?"
Jin Yiren said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that is the prince's maternal cousin, not my brother."
The fourth concubine has already raised the flag, and the main brothers of the Wei family and Zhang family have also been cleared out.
Jin Yiren didn't want to offend Ninth Elder Brother, so how could he openly disobey Ninth Elder Brother's orders?
Kangxi said: "Whether you are innocent or not is not up to me, let the Shen Xing Department decide!"
Kangxi made the final decision.
Jin Yiren was surprised and looked up at Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "Jin Yiren has suspended the commission as the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau and ordered the Shenxing Division to investigate the impeachment of the censor!"
Liang Jiugong agreed and went down to deliver the order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Jin Yiren was trembling, not knowing how to plead.
He did not expect that Kangxi only asked a few questions before directly stopping his head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Is it untouchable that Military Attaché Quan chose this place?
No one told him...
