Chapter 1,293 Asking for orders (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Outside, Brother Jiu endured it.
When he returned to the Fifth House and faced Shu Shu, he said proudly: "Haha, if the manager hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that such a thing was happening. Wouldn't my 'loved son' be even better?"
?”
Even the duck he sent into the garden was treated differently by the emperor's father?
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is kind and loving, and I am filial, so I naturally feel a little partial."
Brother Jiu's eyes lit up and he said: "So what if we have to divide it into 'first come, first served' and 'last come first'?"
Shu Shu looked amused. Of course she could tell that Brother Jiu meant it literally, but she didn't expect that at the level of power, what she wanted was Kangxi's care.
Such a pitiful little kid who is ranked in the middle and whose father doesn't love him and whose mother doesn't love him is just looking forward to his parents' approval.
Brother Jiu just wanted to share this joy with Shu Shu, but his mind was already spinning.
"What kind of birthday gift should I prepare for Khan Amma this year?"
Taking advantage of the situation...
No, strike while the iron is hot, Brother Jiu still knows.
Shu Shu thought for a while, looked outside, and said: "The thing that the Emperor has paid most attention to in the past few years is the river construction. Why don't you think about it carefully, which materials are used to prevent floods and build embankments?"
It snowed heavily last winter, which is not a good sign and means that this year's spring floods will be stressful.
Brother Jiu heard this and said, "If that doesn't work, you can continue to use glutinous rice mortar to build bricks into the river dam."
Shu Shu said: "Is this what it is now? Then why does the river channel need to allocate money every year?"
Although she was thinking about cement, the problem involving materials and calcination could not be solved by one or two people with just a few words. It required talents, and also required collecting materials, testing and inferring data.
But in fact, "mortar" has been used in various buildings left in China for thousands of years to protect the building or to impose hardness on the wall.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when nobles were buried in extravagant ways, glutinous rice mortar was made, which was as hard as cement.
This glutinous rice mortar was also used in many city wall repairs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Brother Jiu sneered and said, "What else can we do for this? After layer upon layer of exploitation, there is not enough money at the end, and then we can only replace the good with the inferior. That is the matter of Shangxiahu. We really need to do the project in a disciplined manner, one at a time, two or three."
In ten years, what will be eaten up and down the river?"
Shu Shu didn't feel surprised when he heard it.
After all, the Kangxi Dynasty was most famous for, in addition to the "nine sons seizing the legitimate sons", the other thing was corruption in the officialdom.
Not only was he greedy in private, but he was also openly greedy, and the national treasury was completely "borrowed".
Shu Shu said: "I just do what I do."
Anyway, with Jiu Age's nature, it is impossible to investigate corruption.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Let me think about it again. I have good intentions and I have obtained the things. It is better to have something visible. In just three months, I have no time to think about something better than glutinous rice mortar."
materials, let’s build the road first..."
Like the palace, there is also a cinder mountain here in Changchun Garden.
"We will widen the bluestone road between the West Garden, the North Garden, the two places where my elder brother lives, and Changchun Garden, and we will plan two more corridors..."
Brother Jiu thought about the layout of Changchun Garden and said, "We can't start construction yet, it will have to be in February..."
Shu Shu said: "It's still the New Year, don't work too hard, I still need to balance work and rest."
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "Don't worry, you won't be too tired. I have agreed with Brother Thirteen and Brother Fourteen that we will go to Fuhai to smash ice and fish for fish tomorrow."
The fish at this time of year is the fattest and has no earthy smell, so Shu Shu said: "Then let's have a whole fish feast tomorrow night."
The couple talked passionately, but they didn't know that someone was unhappy.

Outside the Qingxi Bookstore, the Fourteenth Brother pursed his lips, glanced at the Qingxi Bookstore, and whispered to the Thirteenth Brother: "Why is he here?"
It turned out that the two young brothers came to pay their respects to the emperor and wanted to make a report before going out tomorrow, but no one passed the news at the door.
The prince is here.
Compared with the younger brothers, the prince is naturally heavier.
Who would disturb Kangxi and the prince at this time?
The Thirteenth Brother did not respond. He took the Fourteenth Brother away from the Qingxi Bookstore and walked to the lake. When there was no one around, he said, "The prince may have something to do with Khan Ama."
The fourteenth elder brother didn't believe it and hummed: "What's so important that I can't wait for half a day? The Holy Emperor has just moved here today. Can't he report something tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
The Thirteenth Brother was silent, he could not guess the reason why the Crown Prince met.
Is there anything going on at Yuqing Palace during the Chinese New Year?
I really haven't heard of it.
Brother Fourteen's eyes were rolling around, he was already thinking about something else, and he said mischievously: "You're not really here for the draft, are you? Is this because you have a tacit understanding with the outside world and want to add two more important princes?
"
Brother Thirteen shook his head and said, "Probably not."
The emperor is still following the daily affairs and is an official. No matter what the reason is, the prince cannot personally ask for a beautiful girl. So what will happen?
There is no shortage of heirs in Yuqing Palace. There are three elder brothers, but who would think there are too many sons?
As a prince, procreating heirs is also one of the responsibilities.
It is not the prince's turn to ask for help, it is only the prince's turn to ask for help, which is the right thing to do.
Brother Fourteen looked back at Qingxi Bookstore and said, "What else can happen at this time? You've been in there for half an hour and haven't come out yet?"
The Thirteenth Brother thought about the nature of his royal father, maybe there was nothing serious, just gossip between father and son.
After all, when he was on patrol, the emperor sometimes asked his son to be by his side, and he could chat for half an hour or an hour.
Reminiscing about the past with my eldest brother, he mentioned the early wars.
Reminiscing about the past with Fourth Brother, mentioning the past events of Queen Xiaoyi and Jingren Palace.
I have no memories of the past with my thirteenth brother. I just did some exams on studying in the study room, and then told him about the past when my brothers were studying in the study room.
Now, are you reminiscing with the prince about the past?
The emperor's father didn't seem to be like this in the past few years. It was only last year that he started to talk about the past...
*
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi was indeed reminiscing about the past with the prince.
I remember the prince's childhood.
"You were still in your infancy at that time and were being raised in Qianqing Palace. I didn't want anyone else to take care of you, so I invited Lady Fengsheng to come into the palace to take care of you. Later, when the lady was weak and left the palace, I sent you to Zhongcui Palace and handed you over.
Concubine Rong takes care of..."
Mrs. Feng Sheng, Mrs. Pu, was the wet nurse of the ancestors and the nanny of Emperor Kangxi when he was young.
Concubine Rong, one of the earliest concubines in the harem, gave birth to several princes and daughters.
They were one of the people Kangxi trusted most when he was young.
These two people took care of the prince one after another, which shows that Kangxi valued the prince.
"When you are enlightened at the age of six, Yuqing Palace is repaired and you move to Yuqing Palace, I will visit you every day..."
Kangxi also sighed when he mentioned the past.
Yuqing Palace was rebuilt in 18 years, so it has been 22 years.
Prince, he is twenty-eight years old.
The prince listened, with admiration in his eyes, and said: "When I was young, my son envied his brothers for being free and idle. He had a headache from doing homework every day. But now that he is older and has become an Ama, he understands the fatherly heart of Ama Khan."
.”
It's just that this loving father's heart was divided into several parts as the fourth elder brother landed, and the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother returned to the palace one after another.
Kangxi was very pleased after hearing this and said: "Being an Amadu is like this. When I was a young man, even though I had ascended to a great position, I was still very trembling in my heart.
When you become an Ama, your feelings will be different. When you become an Ama, you should naturally stand up and protect your children from wind and rain."
After hearing this, the prince thought of something else.
The emperor's father-in-law was in August of the sixth year of Kangxi's reign. He was not very old at that time. Although he was already married, he was not yet a grown-up and was not old enough to become a pro-in-law.
However, he captured Obai, changed the structure of the court with lightning speed, and began to take power personally.
It was the eighth month of Concubine Rong's pregnancy and she was about to give birth.
I have become an Ama long ago, and Aktun is already eleven years old. Where is my authority?
The father and son talked about the past, and the previous estrangement between father and son seemed to have melted away.
Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu were waiting beside him, both of them looked down and looked like clay sculptures.
This prince never goes to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.
I don’t know what important words are behind.
They don't really want to hear it.
The prince seemed to be thinking of business here. He looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, I haven't congratulated Khan Ama yet. I heard that there is a new vaccine in the Imperial Hospital, which is better than the mature vaccine?"
Kangxi's expression was still warm, but he looked at the prince with inquiry and said casually: "Oh, you also know this, did you hear it from the third elder brother?"
Years ago, he brought several ministers and princes over to see the new vaccine, and he also told the story about the seventeenth prince's vaccination, so he didn't hide it.
But if no one went to Yuqing Palace to tell him, the prince should just pretend he didn't know about it.
The prince shook his head and said: "The third elder brother has been busy with errands in the past two years and has gone to Yuqing Palace less frequently. It was the eighth elder brother who said..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "I came here today to ask for the grace of Khan Amma. I am three years old and four years old. It is time for vaccination. I would like to get vaccinated with my seventeenth brother...
"
Kangxi was stunned when he heard this and said: "Prince, since you heard Brother Eight mention this matter, you should know that the new vaccine is still on trial. It is better to use the mature vaccine with peace of mind. The Imperial Hospital has prepared the mature vaccine."
The prince trusted and said: "Khan Amma has asked the Seventeenth Prince to use the new vaccine. Khan Amma's love for his son is as evident as the sun and the moon. He abandoned the mature vaccine and chose the new vaccine. He is sure that the new vaccine is better than the mature vaccine."
, Khan Amma can be so decisive, why should I hesitate?"
Kangxi said with a "haha" smile: "Okay! Okay! The one who knows me is the prince. The prince is my flesh and blood. It's too late for me to protect you. How can I be willing to destroy it? It is true that the new vaccine is less harmful, so I gave up the mature vaccine.
Switch to new vaccine."
The prince's face also showed admiration and trust, saying: "I know that Khan Amma's decision will never be wrong!"
Kangxi listened with a smile, but his heart was sour.
In fact, I really want to ask, Prince, aren't you afraid?
Concern leads to chaos.
The third elder brother, who was always timid in front of him, refuted his words out of pity for women.
The Seventh Brother, who is strong without desire, did not hide his uneasiness.
Why are you the only one who is not afraid?
What is the love between father and daughter in your eyes?
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds.
If you don't even love your flesh and blood, how can you be sincere towards other people?
