Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Kangxi was looking at the papers from the Clan Mansion, it wasn't about impeaching the ten princes for being rude, but another one.

He was the one who ordered Prince Jian's errand to check the status of the royal family in the capital and Jueluo's married daughter before patrolling the Yongding River.

Like Long Ke's concubines, the marriage was delayed due to lack of dowry, Kangxi felt that he could not sit idly by.

Otherwise, as time goes by, the clan and Jueluo will become a joke, and people will lose their awe of the royal family.

The results of the investigation are really worrying.

In recent years, the clan population has multiplied. In order to reduce the expenditure of nobles, Kangxi limited the number of knights in the clan.

As a result, there are more idle clans, and life is not rich.

On Jueluo's side, many people have become ordinary people.

There are many families whose daughters are too old to be remarried, and there are quite a few in every banner.

The serious yellow belts and red belts live in poverty, and they can't even afford to marry a married woman. The coats of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have all grown rats.

In contrast, Kangxi was particularly angry.

When Liang Jiugong came in, he felt the solemnity of the room, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, Sibei Le is asking to see you, and wait outside."

Kangxi put down the brochure, nodded and said, "Let's pass it on!"

The household department is doing the calculation of the expenditure of the Yongding River construction these days, and Kangxi thinks that the fourth elder brother is here for this matter.

When the fourth elder brother came in, he looked worried.

Kangxi glanced at him, thinking about it.

Is the Ministry of Finance out of money?

No, it hasn't been half a year yet.

The fourth elder brother thought about it for a while, and said: "Khan Ama, there are some bad rumors in the palace, involving the third elder brother and the ninth elder brother. Yan Ming has offended many people..."

After hearing this, Kangxi said solemnly, "Brother Jiu complained to you?"

Fourth elder brother shook his head hurriedly and said: "Ninth elder brother is under restraint, he probably doesn't know about it, but third elder brother is very angry."

Kangxi looked at the fourth elder brother with suspicion.

Because of living close to each other, is this a close relationship between brothers?
Is this a complaint?
This is not in line with Si elder brother's usual style.

The fourth elder brother hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Even the younger ones, I'm afraid they may have misunderstood the third elder brother, so the brothers will feel more uncomfortable."

Kangxi was overwhelmed with mist when he heard it.

Both the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are friends with the ninth elder brother. He already knew this, they are all friendships of eating and drinking.

In addition, the ninth elder brother is childish, not to mention the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, even the fifteenth elder brother also gets along well.

The fourth elder brother went around in a circle, finally explained the purpose of coming, and said: "My son was thinking, try to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, can I ask the twelve elder brothers to watch over the few errands that the ninth elder brother has handled before, according to Brother Nine's previous plan is carried out, and it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end."

Kangxi frowned when he heard this, and then he remembered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs still has a twelfth elder brother.

"What did Elder Brother Twelve do these two days?" Kangxi asked.

The fourth elder brother paused for a moment, then said after deliberation: "Third brother sees that the twelfth elder brother is not feeling well, so he told him to rest..."

Kangxi was taken aback, looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go to the imperial hospital to take a look at the duty room, and ask the chief of the five institutes which imperial physician he has hired and what you think, and bring over the pulse case of elder brother twelve."

Liang Jiugong went in response.

Kangxi looked at the fourth elder brother and said, "Did you go to see the ninth elder brother yesterday? How is he?"

The fourth elder brother thought about yesterday's situation, and said: "Ninth elder brother regretted it, and shouldn't slack off his errands."

Kangxi glanced at the fourth elder brother and said, "What about the tenth elder brother?"

The fourth elder brother said with shame: "My son only heard that the ninth elder brother joined the revolution, so he went to visit once or twice. He didn't know that there was something about the tenth elder brother, so he didn't go to visit..."

I found out later, but he didn't make a special trip there either.

The tenth elder brother is different from the ninth elder brother, and doesn't have much contact with the brothers.

The fourth elder brother knew that this was also a way to protect himself, so he didn't bother to make trouble, after all he still had to worry about going to Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi nodded.

He already has some regrets.

At that time, Brother Ninth was clamoring to build the Prince's Mansion next to Brother Eight's mansion, and he was happy to see his sons getting closer, so he nodded his approval; but now it seems that four Prince's Mansions on one street live next to each other, and it has been a long time , The contacts are not intimate but also intimate.

If this is a group...

At this moment, Liang Jiugong has returned with the pulse case of the twelfth elder brother, and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the five institutes did not send the imperial physician to..."

Kangxi frowned, motioned for him to hand over the case, and then directly turned to the last page.

Twelve Elder Brothers have a Ping An pulse once every ten days. The last time was April 29, the day before yesterday.

Kangxi closed the pulse case, feeling a little annoyed.

He hoped to teach the third elder brother a lesson, but he didn't want him to stir up the House of Internal Affairs into a mess.

He pondered for a while, and said: "Forget it, the construction of the internal construction office, the imperial pharmacy and the construction of the Xiaotangshan palace, first hand over to the twelve elder brothers. If there is anything that you can't do on your own, you can report to Ma Qi."

The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my son will go to the twelfth elder brother to pass on the oral instructions of Khan Ama."

Kangxi was a little irritable when he thought about Elder Brother Twelve's stubbornness, and said: "If he doesn't learn well and wants to be lazy like Brother Ninth, then don't force him, let him go back to the study!"

The fourth prince's heart tightened, he answered, and went out.

Kangxi rubbed his brows, couldn't help talking to Liang Jiugong, and said, "Third elder brother, this bastard, can't even tolerate a little brother!"

Liang Jiugong kept his mouth shut, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Of course it can't be tolerated, the third elder brother is going for money, how can someone look at it ashamed?
This third master is the one who likes to be polite, as long as money is not involved, he looks like a human being, and he also cares about face...

The fourth elder brother came out of the Qianqing Palace, stood in the corridor, looked in the direction of the House of Internal Affairs, hesitated for a moment, and went in the direction of the elder brother.

*
Five, the study.

Brother Twelve has already read "Mencius".

He didn't understand why he didn't read "The Doctrine of the Mean" because he had to learn the doctrine of the mean.

Isn't it the right direction to learn that?
What Mencius teaches is more complicated.

In the past, they were not in the same class, and the brothers didn't know the details; these few months, they stayed in the same room, and he read it seriously. Ninth brother doesn't read serious books, and he doesn't like to learn these serious things.

Could it be that Brother Jiu didn't think of "The Doctrine of the Mean" and let himself learn "Mencius"?
Brother Twelve was a little distracted, and then thought of Ma Qi, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Could it be homework again?
Brother Twelve wants to throw a book!
Brother Jiu is so lazy!
At this moment, there was movement outside.

It's the fourth elder brother.

The concierge eunuch came in to report, and the twelfth elder brother got up and went out with doubts.

"Fourth brother..."

The twelfth elder brother met the fourth elder brother and bowed to pay his respects.

The layout of the elder brother's house is the same, and the fourth elder brother has lived in it for many years. Seeing the twelfth elder brother come out of the study, he is quite gratified.

It should be like this, it is a good age to study, and you should not waste your time.

He said: "I'm here to pass on the oral order of Ama Khan. From now on, you will be in charge of the Neizaoban, the Imperial Pharmacy and the Xiaotangshan Palace..."

The twelfth elder brother was a little dazed, looked at the fourth elder brother and said, "Fourth elder brother, isn't my younger brother suffering from 'heat stroke'?"

The fourth elder brother said in a bad mood: "The imperial doctor didn't pass it on, and the pulse case was not written. Let's think about 'heat stroke' next time!"

Elder Brother Twelfth was a little troubled, and said, "But where is Third Brother..."

The fourth elder brother said seriously: "Twelfth elder brother, this is the oral order of Khan Ama, as sons, we only obey orders."

Brother Twelve lowered his eyes, and said without sadness or joy: "Yes, younger brother understands."

Seeing his expressionless face, the fourth elder brother was afraid that he would slack off his errands, so he had to tell him: "These few things were put together by the ninth elder brother before. If you keep an eye on him, he can rest assured at home."

The twelfth elder brother heard the words, stood up and raised his head, looked at the fourth elder brother, and said: "The fourth elder brother went to the imperial court?"

The fourth elder brother nodded and said, "Just don't think I'm too busy."

Elder Brother Twelve nodded with a serious look on his face.

The fourth elder brother left the elder brother's residence without any delay, and went directly out of the palace to the ninth elder brother's residence.

Go there first to remind Ninth Brother, lest you have to listen to other people's instigation, and really go to make trouble with Third Brother...

*
Ninth Prince's Mansion, the upper room in the main courtyard.

When Fu Song came back from Dutong Mansion, Brother Nine directly asked him to come to the main courtyard to speak.

"Ama said, it's not a bad thing. Yu Shi dared to visit Lord Jiu, but he wanted to deal with people. Move Jiu Ye away first to show off, and he is afraid of splashing water and splashing water on Jiu Ye; the emperor called Master Jiu stopped his errands, but also to protect Master Jiu, no matter how old the children are, they are children in the eyes of their parents, and they will protect them if they don't worry about it. They also said Master Jiu, you talk about the emperor's love, don't get me wrong, it hurts the relationship between father and son... ..."

"Ene said that little elder brother and little Gege need the love of their parents the most right now. At this time, Master Jiu is on a long vacation, so she can feel at ease. Otherwise, the county master is getting old and Fujin is careless. She is not at ease..."

Brother Jiu heard this, and said to Shu Shu: "I found out that my father-in-law is really smart..."

He didn't know the inside story at all, but he was impeached only on his own, so he guessed at all.

The mother-in-law is also more open-minded than ordinary people and can see everything.

Shu Shu said: "Ama is also a father, so she can naturally understand the emperor's affection for his son."

Perhaps it was because of the poor relationship between his parents, Kangxi tried his best to make up for his family affection with his sons, and attached great importance to the relationship between father and son. Except for a few who didn't pay much attention, most of his sons were his darlings.

Brother Nine nodded and said: "Of course I won't misunderstand Han Ama, but I feel a little uncomfortable. It's because I have no skills and can't handle things, so I let Han Ama worry about it."

Shu Shu comforted: "Yeah, the princes above are all here at this age, and they were mostly under the care of the emperor back then. They didn't reach the time when they were alone. Let's wait until I'm 28 years old."

Brother Jiu was immediately convinced.

When he is 28 years old, Fengsheng and the others will be eleven, and they will be able to be adults.

At that time, even if Khan Ama still can't trust him, it's okay, the big deal is to let Fengsheng and the others practice more.

He thought of Guiyuan and Guidan, and said to Fusong: "The ones who will go into the yard will pick up one for Guiyuan, and then go to the Ministry of War tomorrow to fill Guiyuan and Guidan with third-class guards."

Fusong had heard about the Guiyuan matter long ago.

He hesitated and said, "Last time you were talking about the second-class guard..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, but the master has changed his mind. He has never been an official, he is not as successful in military affairs as Heishan, and he is not as qualified as Erhe. He only relies on the haha ​​beads of the master to make up for the promotion of the second-class guards." When you grow up, let's start with the third class first, if you have the ability to go up by yourself, if you don't have the ability to turn around, arrange something else..."

Fu Song had no objection, and relayed Jueluo's words to Shushu, saying: "Ene said, don't rush to go back, now the children are inseparable, when they are older, you will return to Ning..."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, I won't go back, I'll ask Xiaochun to come over tomorrow."

Before, she planned to go back before the Dragon Boat Festival. If she didn't go back, she had to send someone to pay her respects on her behalf.

Brother Nine was beside him, puzzled and said: "Is it okay to go back for a long time? Isn't there a master here?"

Shu Shu glanced at him, and said: "I go back alone, and I fall into the eyes of others, and I want to chew my tongue again; I'm 'foot-free' now, let's move back..."

Although she is no longer a bride, as a young daughter-in-law, there are naturally many pairs when she returns to her natal home, so it is not good for her to return home.

Brother Jiu woke up just now, and it was because of himself that he was a little bored.

When Fu Song left, Brother Jiu said rightly, "Is the master wrong? You shouldn't be serious. You should turn a blind eye when you focus on Yufeng Tower, or else you wouldn't be like this." A lot of things..."

He was used to the rhythm of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, and he also liked this worry-free and easy job.

Now that there are extra problems, starting with his own "grounding", he can't help but feel a little confused.

Shu Shu felt fine.

At present, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no obvious influence in the coating, and there are disadvantages, and it can still be reformed.

In another ten years, Kangxi might not have the courage, even if he knew that the coating was not proper, he would not do it easily.

The elderly emperor trusted the coatings first, and then the nobles of the Three Banners.

Who made the Eight Banners a dual suzerain system, and because the two generations of young masters came to the court, there was a confrontation between the upper three banners and the lower five banners, which made him always wary of the lower five banners.

Shu Shu held Brother Jiu's hand, and said: "Master, think about what Ama and E Nie said, and only look at it. This is because the emperor really loves you, and we will be more filial to the emperor in the future."

Ninth elder brother thought of third elder brother, gloating over misfortune, and said: "This third son is also a reminder to the master, no matter what the brotherhood is in private, don't reveal it in front of the imperial court, isn't that making yourself uncomfortable? "

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said: "The emperor probably won't let the third master stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for too long, I guess he will bring it up after giving a lesson."

Brother Jiu lowered his volume and said mysteriously, "Not necessarily, you think too little!"

Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu twice, and couldn't think of anything he could think more than herself.

Is Brother Jiu becoming smarter?

Or have you really become stupid?
Brother Nine whispered: "Maybe Khan Ama did it on purpose. During the southern tour last year, the third child stole the limelight. After he came back, he had a good reputation among Han officials. He is not the prince. He needs that good reputation to do it." What……"

Speaking of this, he snorted softly and said: "If you count it alone, the third child is a precious son, but if you match up with the prince, this baby's fineness is not enough. I think it is more like deliberately suppressing the third child's limelight, so as not to have to fight with the prince. Struggle..."

incredible!
My Lord!
Hearing Brother Jiu's words, Shu Shu couldn't help the conspiracy theory.

But she felt that Kangxi's move was not for the prince, but more for himself.

The emperor who is turning from prime to twilight is not only afraid of the prince, but also other older sons, but he himself may not be aware of it...
