Chapter 1360 The Sacred Heart is unpredictable (whispering for monthly votes)
Ninth Prince's Mansion, living room.
The ninth elder brother couldn't help frowning when he heard that the tenth elder brother was going to Haidian tomorrow.
He didn't plan to go there, but he felt that he should go in and out together with the tenth prince.
"That's all, go ahead and go. We're in a hurry today and we'll go there one day later..." Brother Jiu said.
Brother Ten said: "Brother Ninth, there's no need to go there. We'll be back in a few days to see our nephews 'catching weeks'."
The Ninth Prince's Mansion's "Catch the Week" message has been sent out, and there will be a banquet in a few days.
Even if Brother Jiu and his wife go to Haidian the day after tomorrow, they still have to go back to Beijing to hold a banquet.
Brother Jiu said: "There are only a few days left, why are you still fussing?"
The 10th Prince smiled and said: "We have to be careful not to let Khan Ama point it out. Although we can control it when the time comes, it is not necessary."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid of the opposite? Khan Ama's temper is such that he can't stand the prince Fujin dominating the prince!"
Otherwise, he would not downplay Shu Shu's various achievements in front of the emperor.
The tenth elder brother shook his head and said: "Isn't this just a matter of 'begging for a child'? Khan Ama will think twice, lest I follow in the footsteps of the eighth elder brother. When I get to Haidian, I plan to go horse racing and climb mountains. I will not be here again in Zongren Mansion."
I'm going to take a leave of absence for a while. Brother Jiu, you can't see me if you go over."
Brother Ninth: "..."
What's the meaning?
It means that if you have too many gifts, if you don’t have children, you will be exposed, right?
Just like myna, when people mention it outside, people suspect that he is sick.
He couldn't help but look at Brother Ten's waist, glanced down, coughed, and said: "Old Ten, don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment!"
It's none of the ninth elder brother's business if the eighth elder brother doesn't have children; but there is a real problem here with the tenth elder brother, and he will cry for his younger brother.
"What did Dr. Jiang say? Do I need to take any medicine to replenish my health?" Brother Jiu asked with concern.
The tenth elder brother couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Ninth brother, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm fine. It's just that the fate of my children has not come."
Brother Jiu hummed: "You just favor your Fujin!"
The tenth prince nodded and said: "Yes, I am partial to her. It is pitiful to marry far away. What should I do if I am not partial to her?"
The ninth elder brother thought about himself and Shu Shu, and could understand why the tenth elder brother favored ten Fujin.
This is a man who has grown up and established a family, and he should protect his own Fujin.
Brother Ninth remembered the scene of him holding Brother Ten and crying bitterly the year before last, and immediately said: "Anyway, you have to relax, the worst result is that there is no one, then you pick one of Fengsheng and the others to go!"
The tenth elder brother sighed and said: "I'm not in a hurry, it's just a pity. If it had been two years later, we wouldn't be in the same group as Fengsheng and the others. But by then, you and Sister-in-law Jiu will run into each other again."
If he really didn't have a son, he would be happy to adopt Ninth Brother's son.
But he still hopes to have a son who is similar to himself, and who will be close to the children in the same room as Brother Jiu. Just like him and Brother Jiu, they grew up together since childhood, and they are also the closest brothers when they grow up.
The Ten Princes and his wife left dinner directly.
Shi Fujin talked to Shu Shu about the road to Guanyin, and said with piety, "I kowtowed to Guanyin's hundred signs one by one..."
Shu Shu has been to Hongluo Temple, but there was no such road at that time, but she also knew the approximate location.
She praised Shifu Jin and said: "My brothers and sisters are sincere, and the Bodhisattva will see it."
After losing this weight, my menstrual period is normal, and I will get pregnant soon.
It's just the right time to go all out.
Just like the previous two years, every time I tried to control my weight, I couldn't keep my mouth shut within a few days, and my weight rebounded violently.
The next day, the Holy Emperor moved to Changchun Garden with the Queen Mother.
The difference from the time at the beginning of the year was that apart from the younger brothers who went to study in the study, the princes were only accompanied by the fifth elder brother and his wife and the tenth elder brother and his wife.
The ninth elder brother took the twelfth elder brother to see the holy driver out of the palace.
When he saw that the person in front of the emperor called the tenth elder brother over, and the tenth elder brother followed him, the ninth elder brother narrowed his eyes.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
The tenth prince had never acted in such a conspicuous manner before.
Was it intentional by Brother Ten, or was it "by" intentional?
No wonder I felt that it was strange that I followed Brother Ten to Haidian this time. It was inconsistent with his usual behavior, and his explanation was very reluctant.
He was a little confused, and when he returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his face turned ugly.
The twelfth elder brother felt something was wrong. He looked at the ninth elder brother and hesitated whether to ask.
Brother Jiu was afraid.
He thought about how his eldest brother had been acting in the past two years. It seemed that he was no longer in tit-for-tat with the prince in everything like earlier. He had lost his sharpness and was much calmer.
The emperor's father wouldn't want to push the tenth prince to the forefront and become the elder brother's substitute, right?
Brother Jiu clenched his fists. If he really wanted to do that, he would hold a grudge.
Because Shu Shu had talked about it several times in private, Brother Jiu was deeply impressed by the words "initiator".
The prince is talented but not virtuous.
The storage position may not be secure.
However, nowadays, ethics and ethics are respected, and the line between legitimate and concubine is clear. The prince who removes the prince from the throne will be regarded as a traitor and will definitely not end well.
The ninth elder brother was a little confused and wanted to go home immediately to discuss the matter with Shu Shu. Then he looked up and saw the twelfth elder brother sitting uneasily.
Brother Jiu said: "It's okay, I just think of an unhappy person and feel depressed."
The twelfth elder brother said: "Who made Ninth Brother angry? Ninth Brother can just ask someone to teach him a lesson. Don't make yourself angry!"
lesson?
Brother Jiu's shoulders were slumped, a little frustrated.
I hope I'm overthinking it and it's just a coincidence.
Otherwise, if the emperor's father insists on letting Lao Shi confront the prince, can he protect the tenth prince?
It can't be protected at all.
There is nothing I can do except accompany Brother Ten to fall into the trap.
If it's just him, then Shu Shu and the children, the empress and the fifth brother...
He lay on the table and said in a low voice: "Don't mention this, I don't want to think about it..."
There was movement at the door.
It's Brother Four who's here.
The ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother both stood up.
"Fourth brother, how come you are free?"
Brother Jiu quickly ordered He Yuzhu to go to the tea room.
The fourth elder brother glanced at the twelfth elder brother and did not speak in a hurry. He only asked the ninth elder brother: "Don't you come back before noon every day? I happened to have something to go back to my hometown today, so I came to pick you up...
"
The ninth elder brother looked at the appearance and guessed the general reason. If he couldn't tell it in front of the twelfth elder brother, what else could there be?
It should be those people from Guangshanku who found out something was wrong...
Since we have to check the property files from the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, we definitely can’t hide it from Fourth Brother.
Brother Jiu A felt guilty inexplicably, and said, "Let's go quickly. I just remembered something and wanted to go home."
The twelfth elder brother sent his two brothers out and watched them strode away from the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
With Brother Jiu leaving, the room suddenly became deserted.
The twelfth elder brother couldn't sit still anymore, thought for a while, and went to Ningshou Palace.
He wanted to visit Aunt Su Ma. In a few days, some of the children of Brother Jiu's family would "grab Zhou". He went to his grandma to ask for an old object to bring good fortune to the children...
Outside Xihua Gate.
The fourth elder brother did not ride a horse, but got into the ninth elder brother's carriage.
The weather is warm now, and the heater in the carriage has been turned off, making it a bit cold.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "Okay, why did you think of investigating Guangshanku?"
Brother Ninth Brother couldn’t explain it, because Brother Twelve Brother’s uncle remembered it and said sarcastically: “I just heard that someone used Guangshanku’s money to lend money, so I wanted to see what it was like there. I looked at it in the past years and couldn’t see it in the accounts.
Everything that comes out is borrowed and repaid, but after checking, you can see that it is all paid out after a few days when the accounts are settled at the end of the year, and those few companies still occupy the majority..."
Brother Si took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said: "Khan Ama asked Zhao Chang to check it. I don't want to ask too much, so I just wrote this one down. You can take a look."
Brother Jiu took it over and looked at it. Chongshan, Guangshanku's deputy treasurer had been in office for three years. He had a pawnshop in Nancheng and two rent-collecting courtyards under his name. In the middle, he took a merchant girl as a concubine. Her natal family was in
There is a bank in Nancheng.
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "You really made me guess. Khan Ama's grace has been corrupted by these moths!"
The fourth elder brother glared at him and said, "Just know what you're doing. Don't interfere anymore. There's also the uncle of the twelfth elder brother here. How will the brothers get along with each other in the future?"
Ninth Brother rubbed his face and said: "I thought Khan Ama would ask me to investigate. Then there was something wrong with Twelve's uncle. I also looked at it and dealt with it. I didn't expect Khan Ama to leave me..."
The fourth elder brother said: "Guang Shan Ku and Gong Ku are one mile away, and there are too many people involved. Khan Ama is here to protect you."
The Guangshan Treasury and the Public Treasury were established in the same year. If something goes wrong in the Guangshan Treasury, it will not get better in the Public Treasury.
It's only now that we take the lead and go back to the public treasury to find out. This is the earthquake.
Brother Jiu also knows that killing people’s jobs is like killing their parents, so it’s okay not to take the credit for it.
He said with emotion: "Khan Ama has been reorganizing the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, and his relatives have gone to so many houses. As long as those servants know how to be afraid, restrain their actions, and settle the previous accounts, this matter will not be revealed..."
The fourth elder brother is five years older than the ninth elder brother. He has been on duty for nearly ten years, so he has seen all kinds of secrets in the officialdom.
He said: "It's hard to satisfy my desires, so I'm just lucky."
How could it be so easy for a corrupt official to stop?
If you are willing to do it, others are not willing to do it either.
The status of a prince is not short of money, but for ordinary officials, life is also very tight, and it is different whether they have money or not.
The atmosphere in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not good in the early days. Those who kept their duties and did not dare to reach out were mostly suppressed by the ostracists and could not get ahead.
This was the case with Gao Yanzhong, who had worked in the imperial kitchen for twenty years and had outstanding abilities, but he was not even able to become an official.
The ninth elder brother was worried about the tenth elder brother and felt that there must be some reason why there would be no disturbances on weekdays.
He then asked: "Fourth brother, is everything going well for you as you travel with the Holy Driver this time? Have the prince and the eldest brother met?"
You know, when the prince left the capital, it was just a few days after the death of his son, so he should not be in a good mood.
It's strange that I feel so comfortable when my old rival, my elder brother, is here.
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said, "Why are you asking about this? What are you thinking about?"
Brother Jiu lowered his voice and said, "I'm just worried. I'm worried that the prince and eldest brother will get along, and then the old man will be pushed out of the tank!"
The fourth elder brother widened his eyes and looked at the ninth elder brother intently.
The ninth elder brother blinked, and when he opened it again, the fourth elder brother also had small eyes.
"What did Lao Shi tell you?"
Brother Si asked after a while.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "You didn't say anything, but you just fooled me into saying that you wanted to take your ten brothers and sisters to climb the mountain before going to Haidian. I still believed you, but I felt something was wrong this morning."
The Ten Princes and his wife returned to Beijing on February 21st. The Holy Spirit returned to Beijing the next day and left Beijing today.
My brother asked the manager of Changchun Garden to arrange for someone to sweep the place in advance.
If there is no order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then there is only the order from the Imperial Palace...
