The twelfth elder brother also felt that something was wrong, so he came up with the idea.
The ninth elder brother finished reciting to himself, but had no intention of exploring. He said to the twelfth elder brother: "That is the Shenxing Department, where the emperor directly intervenes. If we can't understand it, just don't understand it. It's okay if the emperor understands it. Why is this Ma
I often come to the palace to pay my respects..."
At this point, he stopped talking.
Is this related to Concubine Rong’s demotion?
It shouldn't be a matter of the Ma family. If someone is really going to commit suicide in fear of the crime, it should be the man in charge of the family, not the wife of the house.
Is it really related to the palace?
Brother Jiu thought that it was enough to keep this curiosity in his heart and there was no need to reveal it.
Where should I take Brother Twelve to eat at noon?
This kid has probably never been out of a restaurant.
Yufeng Building was closed before. It's a pity to leave such a good location like this.
There are also some other shops involved in eucalyptus.
Brother Jiu thinks this official store problem should be solved.
He called Dong Dianbang and said: "Based on 90% of the market price of the Di'anmen shop, the price of the current Huangcheng shop will be set. Those who have tenants before will be given priority to rent according to this price; if the tenants cancel the lease, a notice will be posted directly.
"Those who want to rent can go to the Accounting Department to sign up and bid. The one with the highest bid will get it. The rent will be adjusted every three years based on market conditions."
Dong Dianbang listened and said hesitantly: "Jiuye, those merchants who rented houses before are also involved..."
Should such people be excluded from the list of renters?
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "We can't make generalizations. If the Baoyi relatives are involved, what kind of involvement is it just for ordinary merchants to rent shops? Isn't this what you need to say? That's the Imperial City, not Qianmen Street. Let's change it to a bunch of people.
If people with unknown background come in, it's better to just pay the rent normally if it is still run by such people."
"Yes, I think it's wrong." Dong Dianbang responded.
Brother Jiu looked at him and said: "Don't let the incident in front of you affect too many people. If it makes everyone uneasy, it will end. Now the Accounting Department is keeping an eye on this matter. It is best to put an end to it and restore order."
important."
Dong Dianbang agreed again.
Brother Jiu didn't say anything else and waved his hand to let him go down.
The Dong family seemed to be in some decline before. First, the concubines were deposed, and then many members of the family were lost in the accounting department's "nest", but now it seems that it is nothing.
Compared with the ruined Fucha family, the punishment was light. Compared with the Guo Luoluo family, Ma family, and Wuya family, the Dong family only eliminated some of their lawless relatives.
Just as Brother Jiu was thinking about it, He Yuzhu came in and said, "Sir, the princess sent Chang Shi to Xihua Gate. He said that the princess wanted to see me for something, and asked me if I had time to come over."
Brother Ninth nodded and said, "I told you to come over for lunch and ask my sister to prepare a few more dishes. If there is no good cook, just call a table outside and I will take Brother Twelve over to have a meal."
He Yuzhu went down to deliver a message.
The twelfth elder brother stretched out his arms and wanted to call He Yuzhu back.
Seeing his expression, Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "It's not like Little Princess, I don't dare to see anyone..."
The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother, feeling a little tired, and said: "Ninth elder brother, Sister Kejing should be looking for you for something."
So Ninth Brother is here to order the meal to be prepared and to take him there, is that okay?
Brother Jiu said: "What can happen? I'm probably asking Xiao Shiba to 'catch Zhou'."
The twelfth elder brother wanted to talk more, but the ninth elder brother said: "I told the fourth sister to take you there. If you don't go, what will I say?"
Brother Twelve shut his mouth.
After the twelfth elder brother finished handling his errands, the ninth elder brother put down the file in his hand.
Because the Secretary of Shenxing had withdrawn the money for the coffin, he was curious about this expenditure, so he asked Bi Tie Shi to look for the file.
There are many people on duty in the palace. There are nearly 2,000 regular maids and eunuchs. Adding in the number of people working in various places, the total number is 3,000 to 4,000.
However, the only people in the palace who were responsible for birth, old age, illness and death were the maids and the eunuchs.
Ma Ho is a special case here.
Because all the Ma family members have been arrested, they cannot be released to the family for mourning. It is not appropriate to send people to Sanbeile Mansion to call for people at this time, so this expenditure is incurred.
When he finished reading it, he realized that the money was not much, and he could not make a few payments in a year.
After he put this down, the twelfth elder brother had to deal with the morning's official business.
Brother Jiu read it once and became a maniac about stamping. He took advantage of it.
Then, he took out his pocket watch, took a closer look, and saw that it was right at two o'clock.
It's almost noon.
The ninth elder brother called the twelfth elder brother and said, "Okay, let's go, don't delay eating."
Brother Twelve couldn't help but think about when Brother Ninth arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It’s just a new beginning, it’s only an hour before and after!
After leaving Donghua Gate, the guards and guards were already waiting.
This is what the ninth elder brother calls him on behalf of his twelfth elder brother.
He now has guards and guards from the Prince's Palace when he comes in and out. He doesn't use people from the Internal Affairs Office and the Guards Department, but the Twelveth Prince does.
You can’t skip this, you have to make it a habit.
He rode on the horse and said to the twelfth elder brother: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace. The third brother was slighted in Yufeng Tower before. This is a lesson. The prince's identity must be revealed, and don't imitate the nonsense in the talk book."
Arowana Suit.”
Brother Twelve listened honestly.
Brother Jiu said again: "If you want to come out, just wander around the Imperial City or outside Di'anmen, don't go too far."
The twelfth elder brother said: "My brother won't come out."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "You need to know more. After a while, when the palace is quiet, you can go to Xiaotangshan to see how the palace is being built. If you want to stay out, you can stay one night."
.”
It’s all my little brother who’s here, who doesn’t look forward to sleeping out?
The twelfth elder brother didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
If it was a business trip, he would just go, but he didn't want to stay out.
As the two brothers talked, they arrived at the princess's courtyard.
After Princess Kejing got the news, she came to the front and said with a smile: "I brought a cook from Khalkha for a banquet, so I'll give you two an advantage first."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Look at what you said, as if we are not welcome guests."
Princess Kejing smiled and said: "If I were a guest, I wouldn't dare to mention it on the same day..."
The siblings went directly to the front hall.
Hand-meat meat, mutton soup, and mutton pie are all common Mongolian dishes, but there is a roast pig recipe, which is a dish that the brothers have never eaten.
The pork belly is boiled first and then roasted. It is charred on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside. The fat is roasted and transparent. No seasoning is added. Just dip it in salt and it tastes good.
Brother Ninth ate an extra piece and said, "Sister, how do you make this dish? Does the master have any recipes? We will cook it in the dining room later. Serve it up. The imperial grandmother will definitely like it."
Princess Kejing said: "I'll ask someone to bring it to you later."
The dining table was removed and the tea was replaced. As expected, Princess Kejing asked about the Eighteenth Prince's "capture of Zhou".
Brother Jiu said: "My younger brother, Fujin, went to pay my respects to my mother-in-law yesterday afternoon. Her mother-in-law's intention was not to do anything."
Princess Kejing nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. I was afraid that I would be too troublesome for the queen. I wanted to go over and talk to the eighteenth brother when he 'caught Zhou'. Since I can't do it now, I will hand over the sign tomorrow."
Say hello to the empress."
Brother Jiu remembered what had happened in the palace in the past few days and reminded him, "It's okay to wait a little longer. We'll talk about it after Brother Three comes out."
Princess Kejing followed the advice and nodded: "Okay, when will the third brother come out?"
She didn't ask the third brother why he was locked up. There was a lot of excitement outside with all kinds of excuses.
Regarding the imperial court, if she asked at this time, it would only embarrass Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu took the initiative to mention it: "It should be just these two days. Nothing happened at all. I just ate too much and vomited in Qingxi Bookstore. I'll be locked up for a few days."
As for the rest of the inside story, who knows.
Love so much.
Anyway, this argument sounds pretty good. It seems that the atmosphere is not so tense, and it is good to watch a group of people having fun.
Princess Kejing looked at Brother Jiu and said with a smile: "This shows that you have grown up."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "If you can't see it with such a big head standing up, then do you have to look at your eyes?"
Princess Kejing said nothing more, and neither did the ninth elder brother. He took the recipe for roast pork and left with the twelfth elder brother.
Neither the siblings mentioned Rong's concubine or the Ma family.
But they all thought of the Guo Luoluo family invariably.
Compared with the Ma family, the punishment of the Guo Luoluo family was too light.
Brother Ninth looked gloomy.
The Guo Luoluo family should have arrived in Jinzhou now.
Looking back, I still have to ask the people over there how the Guo Luoluo family lives.
After all, Sanguanbao is still the manager of Dalinghe Ranch, and he is also the chief seal officer at the ranch.
It would be really annoying if the whole family was still in charge of officialdom and tyrannical.
*
Zongren Mansion, the yamen of the main hall.
The tenth prince glanced at Prince Jian’s check-in room.
Prince Jian went to the imperial palace.
The third elder brother's criminal complaint was handed in and he still had to wait for approval.
This old fox's book is very impressive, but I'm sure he still has to go through the motions and go to the third elder brother Gozen to plead for mercy.
It's him both inside and outside, just keep it to yourself.
Just as he was thinking about it, Prince Jian came in from outside, walking in a square step with a very relaxed expression.
The 10th prince knew that this was an excuse to plead guilty.
Sure enough, Prince Jian greeted Sunubeizi and the tenth elder brother, and went to the detention place of the third elder brother together.
It's clean here, but there are no other benefits.
The ice regulations in each yamen are fixed, so the room is a bit stuffy.
The third elder brother's stubble has grown out, and his arms and sleeves are rolled up, exposing his hard tendons, but he seems to be in good spirits.
"Beile Yinzhi has lost his etiquette in front of the emperor and is lax in his rules. He should be dismissed from his post. In view of his meritorious service in acting as an agent for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will be exempted from his duties. He will be suspended from his salary for three years and his title will be suspended once. He will be dismissed as chief of ceremonies and the ceremony will be completed.
Forty lashes will allow him to be redeemed..."
The third elder brother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Khan Amma is merciful, and this is out of consideration for his dignity.
I am afraid that if I am demoted at this time, people outside will make trouble worse.
If the title is suspended once, it means that the next time the elder brother and younger brothers are promoted to nobility, he will not be there; or if he records his merits twice and can be promoted to a level based on his merits, if he is not promoted, he will be exempted from the merits twice.
Punishment was given, but leeway was given.
Most of the resentment in Third Brother's heart has gone away, leaving only gratitude...
