Brother Jiu is very well-behaved and has no intention of talking back.
Kangxi really wanted to scold him, but he thought of what he had received a few days ago, so he stopped.
There is no better son than a father.
He is not very smart, and he has probably forgotten all about being impeached a long time ago.
Kangxi was also tired.
As a pro-Amma, I can tolerate the laziness of my ninth elder brother, but can the prince tolerate it?
The answer is not difficult to guess.
The prince cannot tolerate it.
But the prince couldn't even accommodate a prince like Jiu Age who didn't join the court, so how could the prince tolerate other people?
Kangxi's heart was heavy, and he waved to Brother Jiu and said, "Go down and write. Once you've written it, ask someone to send it over!"
Brother Jiu agreed honestly, bowed and retreated.
He knew it in his mind. After writing the confession, the selection of a new chief executive among the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would begin.
Then for ten days and a half, there was no suitable candidate.
At the end of the month or the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, it’s time to withdraw money.
Brother Jiu made a mental note that if he wanted to make money in the future, he would need to avoid Jiangnan.
Jiangnan needs stability.
Although Jiangnan is rich, the situation is too complicated. Even Khan Ama is very cautious about Jiangnan, and it takes so long to punish a slave.
In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi asked Ma Qi to sit down again and said: "He is careless, impatient, and has a lot of problems."
Ma Qi couldn't help but say that the ninth elder brother was not the right one. He only said: "There are times when I am careful. Everyone said that the road in the imperial city is much easier."
In the past, the road conditions were not good. It rained in summer and snowed in winter, so it was easy to get muddy.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "There is no regulation for the one in the east and the other in the west..."
Speaking of this, he pondered: "Last month, the ninth elder brother was away, and the twelfth elder brother was on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How do you see the twelfth elder brother doing something?"
Ma Qi thought about it and said, "Master Twelve is mature, steady and patient, and the emperor has taught me well."
After hearing this, Kangxi felt better and said, "How do you compare the 12th elder brother with the 9th elder brother?"
Ma Qi felt a little weird in his heart and said: "Master Ninth has financial advantages, is honest with others, and trusts his subordinates very much. Master Twelve has relatively few interactions with his servants, so it's hard to elaborate on the details."
Kangxi said: "I have told you before that teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is teaching. Brother Twelve, please take the time to keep an eye on me and help me take care of one or two."
Ma Qi had a bad feeling.
This is really weird to say.
The emperor's son has a high status, so how can he be cared for by servants?
Kangxi, with a look of trust on his face, said: "There are not many people I can trust. Those who love you and are capable should work harder."
Ma Qi bowed and said: "I don't dare. I will wholeheartedly assist Zuo Twelve Master in the internal affairs office."
Although the twelfth elder brother works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ma Qi is the general manager, there is a distinction between seniority and inferiority. This is correct.
Kangxi looked at Ma Qi and said, "Don't be too heretical. I'll teach you what needs to be taught in the future."
Ma Qi raised his head and looked at Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at him with a firm expression.
Ma Qi lowered his eyes and said, "I follow the emperor's orders..."

Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing the twelfth elder brother busy with daily chores, the ninth elder brother realized his conscience and did not transfer the task of writing an "apology letter" to the twelfth elder brother.
He lowered his head and rummaged through several drawers of the desk.
Sure enough, he found what he was looking for, the draft of the last apology.
I kept it specially at that time just in case.
Brother Jiu laid out his pen and paper and rewrote one based on the previous apology letter.
It's just that his current mood is different from that in May.
He feels that he has grown a lot and is much more peaceful.
He added more sincere words to the apology letter, such as saying that due to the solar terms, he was occasionally physically weak and slacked off on duty, which was really not the case. He would pay more attention to his health in the future, and work hard and diligently on duty.
By the time he finished writing, he felt a little annoyed.
Tomorrow is the eighth day of the eleventh month, and the Holy Spirit will go to Nanyuan for a siege.
After returning from the journey and resting for two days, it was time for the Holy Spirit to patrol the Yongding River and visit the mausoleum.
At that time, it will be around the time of Laba to return to Luang.
Calculated before and after this, it is a month.
Brother Jiu had planned well, waiting for the Holy Emperor to leave the palace, and then started to go to the Yamen for a long time, but it seemed that it didn't work.
If you hand me a confession today and continue to be lazy tomorrow, isn't this looking for scolding?
I can only persist.
I guess I won't really be able to rest until I get to the seal.
Brother Jiu wrote the note with great bitterness and hatred. He originally planned to ask He Yuzhu to send it to him, but after thinking about it, he restrained himself and made a trip himself.
Be humble.
Especially when the emperor's father was unhappy.
By the time he sent the apology note and came out of Qianqing Palace, it was already midday.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers are already waiting at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "Are you still planning to come to heaven?"
Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "Just today, Brother Thirteen and I will go to Nanyuan tomorrow."
Brother Ninth remembered the patrol of Yongding River, looked at Brother Thirteen and said: "After Nanyuan comes back, Khan Ama is going to patrol Yongding River, will he take you and Brother Four with him?"
That time in the spring, when the Holy Emperor patrolled the Yongding River, he took the Fourth Elder Brother and the Thirteenth Elder Brother with him.
The fourth elder brother is in the household department, so this is a close relationship. The thirteenth elder brother will also go to the household department in the future?
Brother Thirteen nodded and said, "Well, Khan Ama sent someone to tell you."
The fourteenth brother was dissatisfied and said: "Khan Ama, it's true, the thirteenth brother hasn't left the study yet, why do you bring him with you every time and not me?"
Brother Ninth rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Thirteen will have to make up for his errands next year, and he has learned almost all the homework in the study. How about you? If you really don't learn and have no skills, you wander around the world and end up becoming a fool.
Is the prince calling people a joke?"
The fourteenth elder brother's eyes widened and he really couldn't understand why the ninth elder brother would say this.
If there is a fool among the princes, it won’t be his Fourteenth Master!
He was unconvinced and said: "Look at what Ninth Brother said, it seems that I don't study hard. My riding and shooting skills are top-notch. I haven't failed in my Manchu and Chinese lessons. I'm also proficient in Mongolian and Mongolian. I'm good at everything."
It has nothing to do with straw bag!"
Brother Jiu raised his eyelids and said: "Where is the art of martial arts? Where is the art of war? Where is the foreign language? Where is the Code of the Qing Dynasty?"
The fourteenth elder brother puffed out his chest and said: "My academic skills are above average, I am familiar with the art of war, I know French and English, and I have studied the "Qing Dynasty Law" briefly!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
He didn't believe it.
Brother Fourteen is like a monkey on weekdays, jumping up and down, but can he still sit still?
Did you actually learn well?
Not scientific?
He looked at his thirteenth brother.
The thirteenth elder brother smiled and nodded, and said: "The fourteenth younger brother is excellent in both civil and military studies, and Khan Ama praised him."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother twice, questioningly, and said: "It's not Khan Ama who coaxed you, right?"
The fourteenth elder brother quit and said: "Ninth elder brother, why do you look down on others? Who can tell lies? I am not the only one who is good at studying. Thirteenth elder brother is also good at his homework. Khan Ama has praised me several times."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt sour and said, "The treatment of the youngest son is really different. Others don't even get to praise you, but you do!"
If Fan praised him back then, wouldn't it mean that he wasn't so lazy in class anymore?
Brother Ninth felt that his civil and military studies were unsatisfactory when he was in the study. It was not only his own fault, but also half of it was the fault of the emperor's father!
Regardless of whether they ask or not, of course they don’t like to study.
What is big and what is small?
The third elder brother above served as a younger elder brother, and went out to spend the summer with Shengjia at the age of seven; the fourth elder brother served as a younger elder brother, and followed the Northern Patrol at the age of nine; the eighth elder brother also acted as a younger elder brother, and followed the Northern Patrol at the age of eight.
When I arrived with Lao Shi, I only went out with him for the first time when I was fifteen.
This biased old Ama!
This relationship between father and son is all managed by himself, can't it be somewhat natural?
The fourteenth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "I praise the ninth elder brother too much."
Brother Jiu snorted softly and said, "What are you bragging about?"
The fourteenth elder brother blinked his eyes, racked his brains, thought for a long time, and said: "Praise the ninth brother for his good work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the good marriage to Fujin, and the good birth of the emperor's grandson..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and felt even more worried...

It's the last day of the month, so I'm asking for monthly tickets.
