My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 585 Official Business

In Qingxi Bookstore.

Kangxi looked at the confession delivered by Zhao Chang.

The top three shares belonged to Concubine Zhang, Nanny Guo and Concubine Wang Shu.

Below that is Duan Concubine's close maid.

After looking through it again, I knew that what Zhang Bin said was absolutely right.

Concubine Duan has often bullied Concubine Zhang in the past few years, and it has intensified in the past six months.

Since May, Concubine Zhang has not hesitated, and Concubine Duan even went to the apse every day, instructing the nuns beside Zhang Concubine to point at Sang and scold Huai at Zhang Concubine's window, showing no respect and not avoiding others.

He turned back to the front again and read Nanny Guo's confession.

On the ninth day of May, Zhangpin committed suicide by hiding a scissors, but was rescued by her.

Kangxi's face was dark.

"Mr. Dong!"

Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "I shouldn't have left her in the palace with my old love in mind!"

As early as 20 years ago, the harem was sealed off, and the concubines Jing, An, and Duan who had no merit or favour, did not move.

The three of them entered the palace early, their qualifications were old, and their natal families were decent, so a lot of troubles arose.

Among them, concubine Duan is obedient and hides behind, agitating the other concubines and not showing up in person.

In addition, when the Empress Dowager was still there, Kangxi only punished Concubine Jing and Concubine An, and still kept Concubine Duan in the palace, but she never turned over her sign.

She is also honest and has lived peacefully for many years.

I didn't expect it to be so in private.

It was crazy, to dare to bully a concubine of the same level as her like this, and even to be disrespectful to the prince and princess, and to have little respect for him, the emperor.

He also has a vicious mind, intending to instigate the prince's siblings to kill each other.

If Zhang Pin believed her nonsense and asked the thirteenth elder brother to guard against the tenth elder brother, what would happen?

She also spies on the affairs of the Qing palace and utters filth, which is simply a big rebellion.

Kangxi looked at Zhao Chang and said, "How is Concubine Duan doing now?"

Zhao Chang bowed and said: "Yesterday at noon, concubine Duan stopped the servant from mentioning Mrs. Zhang, the woman servant beside her. Later, the servant passed on the emperor's oral order, and she went to Yikun Palace to make a noise, wanting to see Master Yi, He was stopped by Master Hui."

Kangxi's face turned darker.

Concubine Yi was in childbirth, and even Concubine Zhang, who was bullied enough to commit suicide, didn't think about going to Yikun Palace, but Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Duan has no scruples at all.

"Duan's concubine, Dong, has a cruel temper, bullied the palace, and was beaten to death. She is unworthy to be the lord of the palace. She is deposed from the position and demoted to a palace lady as a punishment. Wear it on top, and fine it money and food for three years; the woman Zhang who was beaten to death was a daughter of the concubine Duan's family, and Dong was fined 100 taels of silver as funeral silver."

Kangxi closed the file and said his decision coldly.

Zhao Chang and Liang Jiugong both had similar postures.

The two were not surprised by this result.

That Nanny Zhang, even under the command of the master, but directly uttering obscene words to the concubine must be a capital offense.

With such a sentence, Concubine Zhang was picked out and her face was preserved.

After saying this, Kangxi said to Zhao Chang again: "Ms. Dong is ill, so she will be moved to the palace and sent to Nanyuan to recuperate."

"Whoo!"

Zhao Chang agreed.

Afterwards, he reported: "Report to the emperor, Brother Jiu came with the slave, saying that there is something to see you, and now you are waiting outside."

Kangxi frowned.

He is not in a good mood right now, and he doesn't have time to grind his teeth with others, but he is also afraid that there is something wrong with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he said impatiently: "Call in!"

Zhao Chang retreated.

After a while, Brother Nine came in.

Kangxi looked at him expressionlessly.

Brother Jiu also lost his usual noisy appearance, and looked very honest and quiet.

But after he invited Kangxi, he didn't speak in a hurry.

Kangxi snorted softly and said, "It's not that I have something to report face-to-face, let's talk about it!"

Brother Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Should the son talk about official affairs first, or private matters first?"

Kangxi glanced at him, and said: "You have a lot of things to do, and I have only been here for a day, so you can't let me relax!"

Brother Jiu said honestly: "It's my son who is not good. He dare not be self-reliant when things happen. It's too boring."

Kangxi: "..."

It was really a bit of a surprise.

He glanced at Brother Jiu and said, "You're quite self-aware, don't talk too much, what's the matter?"

Brother Nine's expression remained unchanged, and he was already a little proud.

Sure enough, Fujin is reliable!
Before coming out this morning, Fujin mentioned that the emperor's father might not be in a good mood, and asked him to answer in front of the emperor, stop asking questions like in the past.

No matter what the emperor said, he had to admit it.

It really works.

Khan Ama's face was obviously not as tense as before, and it eased a lot.

Brother Nine said: "Brother Shisan mentioned it to my son the day before yesterday. It is the hot summer season and the palace is hot everywhere. I want to give my brother the ice cream to give to my concubine. My son thinks that this is not taking advantage of others. It was still my elder brother's filial piety, so I asked someone to send a message to Bingku, so my son also thought of other low-ranking concubines, whether they were rich or not, so he wanted to ask Han Ama if he had a prince under his knees , The concubine and concubine of the imperial daughter set aside more ice, my son checked it out, and the current harem ice regulations were set 30 years ago, when there were only three ice storages in the palace, now there are five ice storages in various locations."

He pondered outside for a long time, but he still felt that he couldn't avoid the matter of Concubine Zhang.

The news of Zhao Chang's return was not hidden from anyone. If he, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, pretended to be ignorant, he would be deceiving.

But there is no room for him to intervene in the affairs of the inner court.

He picked this one up.

This is not a whim.

He really thought of this the day before yesterday.

For example, Dai Jiagui, the mother of the seventh elder brother, Wanliuha nobleman, the mother of the [-]th elder brother, Wang Guiren, the mother of the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, Chen Guiren, the mother of the seventeenth elder brother, and the ten-gege mother Nala nobleman, Yuan Guiren, mother of fourteen grids, Wang Shufei, mother of sixteen grids, and concubine Liu Shu, mother of seventeen grids.

Kangxi listened to it.

What brother Jiu said is right, the number of ice cellars has increased to five. Earlier, 5000 yuan of ice was stored in the ice cellar, and now it is 5000 yuan.

The cases of all kinds of people in the palace did not increase.

Kangxi pondered for a while, and said, "Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draw up another example. The harem concubines are still assigned according to rank, and there is no need to classify whether they are born or not."

Otherwise, the same status would become two kinds of treatment.

A concubine who enters the palace late, like nobleman Guerjia, will suffer a disadvantage.

Brother Jiu bowed and said the second thing, saying: "Before my son came, I checked the garden's documents. Changchun Garden only built a small ice cellar in the West Garden as a backup. If Han Ama occasionally comes to rest Forget it, if you live in the garden and manage the government, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it at that time, my son is thinking, whether to ask Han Ama to point out a place to build a Changchunyuan ice cellar, so that ice can be stored this winter."

Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu and was quite relieved.

If I didn't pay attention, I wouldn't have thought of this.

It's not yet in ambush, and the garden is cool, and when it's dog days, it will also need an ice basin.

He nodded and said: "I see, I will point out a place for you later, but I'm not in a hurry to build it, just start construction when I am patrolling the north."

"The son leads the order!"

Brother Jiu bowed and said.

Now that the official business is over, it's time to talk about private matters.

Brother Nine relaxed visibly with the naked eye, looked around, and said, "Khan Ama, my son asks for a cup of tea first, it's hot now, I'm sweating all over, and I'm thirsty when I come out..."

Kangxi was not a stepfather either, so he nodded and signaled Liang Jiugong to serve tea.

Liang Jiugong poured a cup of tea over.

Brother Jiu took it with both hands, and said with a smile, "Please trouble me!"

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said, "Master Jiu is polite."

Nine princes raised their necks and drank it clean.

The tea is half-warm and the entrance is just right.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi couldn't help but dislike him.

Afraid of cold in winter, afraid of heat in summer.

It was only a short distance from the palace to the Changchun Garden, and it seemed like a long time of running around.

Brother Jiu drank his tea, and then took another aim at the small square stool next to him.

He glanced at Kangxi, flattered him, and said, "Then son, ask for another seat? I was just looking at the lotus flowers in the lotus pond outside the guard room. I stood there for a quarter of an hour, and my legs felt a little numb..."

Kangxi was speechless.

Every time I want to praise him, it's like this again.

Just now he was afraid of the cold and heat, but now he is afraid of being tired.

He ordered Liang Jiugong angrily, "Give it to him, so you won't have to go out and stand there muttering for three quarters of an hour!"

The corner of Liang Jiugong's mouth curled up, and he carried the square stool for elder brother Jiu.

Brother Nine quickly took two steps forward to take the hand, grinning and said: "I'm always bothering Wen Da, but Master Huihui's bloodstone has arrived, so I will leave two good ones for Wen Da."

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said: "The slave is just following the emperor's orders, Master Jiu is not welcome."

He doesn't really want to accept the gift from Brother Nine!

What if it is a chicken or an elephant again? !
Do not worry!
Brother Nine waved his hands and said, "Advanced, what are you being polite about? They are all from us..."

Liang Jiugong was tired and didn't want to talk anymore.

Kangxi was watching and felt tired.

This means that brother Jiu didn't go to the previous court, otherwise he dared to say this, and the impeachment of the imperial censor would be imminent.

What do you want to do when you make friends with the imperial servant like this?
Only then did Brother Nine talk about private matters, and said: "Because of Brother Thirteen's affairs, my son also thought of Yikun Palace, and he also met the virtuous and thoughtful, and respected his mother, but my son is afraid of the heat. In addition, the subsidy from the emperor's grandmother is barely enough, and it is not good to "borrow flowers to present Buddha". The son thought that there are a lot of ice cellars outside, can he buy some from outside, and honor them to Yikun Palace. It’s different, so here at Khan Ama, my son also wants to pay a tribute!”

Isn't it just spending money?
It's not a big deal to solve it with money.

Kangxi listened, shook his head and said: "Absurd, your mother is giving birth, where can I use ice in the house?"

Brother Jiu pursed his lips.

He wasn't confused yet, of course he remembered this.

Fujin had already told him.

But if Fujin didn't tell him, he wouldn't know about it.

Isn't it normal to ask Khan Ama like this?

"Isn't it okay in the yard? Fujin visited Eniang two times before and said she was a bit bored..."

Brother Jiu said.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Stop rambling, filial piety is not about this..."

But he was also a little worried.

It seems that there is no mature nanny around the Jiu elder brother and his wife.

When the daughter-in-law entered the palace, she brought a nanny with her, but she never gave birth.

The couple lived like a family.

The master of ceremonies also chose teenagers.

Looking back, when Concubine Yi is out of confinement, I have to discuss it with her, see if I can pick two old adults for the Second Institute.

Kangxi has been watching the pulse case of Brother Jiu for a year.

Although it is not as healthy as ordinary people, it is much better than last year.

Continue to recuperate, and with another two or three years of effort, it should be almost done.

At that time, Dong E's body bones will also grow, and the couple can have a child.

If it goes well, it will take three or four years to become parents.

But elder brother Jiu reminded him.

That is an example of adult elder brother's filial piety.

It's not that the government is separated, it's really two families, and the filial piety that should be there is still there...

*
Seeing that elder brother Jiu is so promising, friends, do you want to order monthly tickets, ^_^.
