Chapter 1483 Niwan (asking for double monthly tickets)
Prince Jian is the banner lord and the elder of the clan. When he attends funerals, the princes from all provinces also have to show up.
It's just that you don't have to pay condolences so frequently. Just hold a big ceremony for the "first seven" and wait for the funeral for the rest.
On the "First Seven" day, the Holy Master also arrived in the capital.
This time, the emperor did not ask the prince to come out of the capital to greet him. All the adult princes in Beijing waited at the palace gate to greet him.
The ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother followed the crowd to wait, and then went to the gate of Qianqing Palace to wait.
The prince returned directly to Yuqing Palace.
Kangxi first sent the eldest brother and third brother in.
The remaining fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, ninth elder brother and twelfth elder brother were waiting outside. The fourth elder brother, eighth elder brother and thirteenth elder brother who came back with Shengjia did not leave either.
The fifth elder brother was talking quietly to the fourth elder brother.
The eighth elder brother greeted the seventh elder brother, then looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Why is the tenth brother missing?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's forbidden."
The news about the camp was not that well-informed.
All they know is the news that the emperor has let them know, and the news about other people is not known here in Xingying.
The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother both looked over.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with suspicion.
The tenth elder brother seems to be impulsive and reckless, but that's all. Except for the ninth elder brother's affairs, he doesn't pay attention to other things.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of look you have is none of my business. It was Lao Shi who whipped Aling'a!"
The fourth elder brother frowned upon hearing this, and the thirteenth elder brother widened his eyes.
Is this the second time Brother Ten has whipped someone?
Last time he was just the censor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this time he is directly a member of the royal family?
The eighth elder brother was also stunned and said hurriedly: "Why...why are you starting to do this?"
He and Aling'a have started moving around in the past two years, and their conversations are getting along quite well.
Although technically speaking, Aling'a is the uncle of the tenth elder brother and the uncle of the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, but he is also the uncle and cousin of the princes.
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "It's so cruel. His wife is worried about the position of Prince Fujin, so she plans to kill the ten younger brothers and sisters to make room for his family..."
Having said this, he said to Fourth Brother: "Fourth Brother, you should be lucky that this is not a plot against your family, otherwise the relatives inside and outside will be hard to guard against!"
The fourth elder brother looked ugly and said, "What's wrong with Shi Fujin?"
Brother Jiu said: "The fetal energy has moved, and Khan Ama pointed to the imperial doctor to ensure the fetus!"
The scene became quiet.
The fourth elder brother, eighth elder brother and thirteenth elder brother have incomplete information, so I don’t know what to say.
The fifth elder brother was nearby and talked about the cause and effect, as well as Aling'a's "Peeping Banned Case".
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Brother Si with some sympathy and said: "Because Mrs. Aling'a just put the blame on herself, the Wuya family was also detained in the Zongren Mansion, and now they are waiting for the Holy Driver." Come back and personally judge..."
Brother Jiu said quickly: "As long as I check the old accounts of the imperial kitchen in the past two years, there is a relationship between them. Khan and Ama were lenient before and didn't care too much. I'm afraid I won't let him off easily this time. If he is just greedy for money and money, These won't be punished too harshly, so Fourth Brother doesn't need to worry too much."
The fourth elder brother nodded.
The atmosphere is still a little weird.
The ninth elder brother looked around, his eyes wandering between the seventh elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and said with a smile: "The only uncles of the seventh elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother have not been repaired..."
The seventh elder brother rolled his eyes at him.
The thirteenth elder brother said: "The Zhang family has repaired it. It was cleared out from the imperial kitchen first and then from the guard camp. It was also a small cleanup twice."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's right. I don't know if it will be the seventh brother or other uncles who will come for the second round or the third round next time..."
The fifth elder brother was standing by, stroking his fingers and saying, "How can we count further forward? It has to start from the first month of the year before last. At that time, it was the prince's uncle's house and Khan Amma's uncle's house?"
Brother Ninth thought for a moment and said, "You can really count back to the time when we encountered a bear in the paddock during our eastern tour the year before last, and it was Third Brother's uncle who started it!"
Everyone was silent.
I didn't pay attention to it earlier, but this time, it can be seen that the emperor is not only weakening the descendants, but also the concubines' natal families are not left behind.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong came out and said: "Master Baylor, Brother A, where is the emperor's biography..."
Then everyone entered the Xinuan Pavilion.
It's the end of September now, and the ground dragon season hasn't arrived yet, so the room is a little cool.
The eldest brother and the third brother did not get seats, but stood beside them with their hands down, looking at them honestly.
When everyone saw it, they knew in their hearts that they were being scolded.
Otherwise, even if the third elder brother does not have that dignity, the eldest elder brother, the eldest son of the emperor, will still get a seat.
Looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, who is dark and thin, all the brothers want to express some concern, and the aunt should also feel sorry for him.
If you are reprimanded now, you have made a mistake.
The third elder brother's eyes were secretly aimed at the ninth elder brother.
He was scolded horrendously, so he naturally knew where he was wrong.
Woohoo...
Why isn't there even a choice?
He would rather plead guilty to Brother Jiu and his wife than pay 1,500 taels of silver!
As expected, Jiu Age and his wife are both capable people.
If they are not considerate here, there will be immediate backlash.
Brother Ninth ignored him and stood behind Brother Seven, behaving obediently.
Did he remember Shu Shu's words? Only by standing in front of the emperor could he protect the tenth prince.
The tenth prince has been grounded for these days. He must be cautious in his words and deeds and not allow others to make mistakes.
The fifth elder brother stood behind the fourth elder brother, his whole body relaxed.
It's life-threatening. I stayed in the South Study Room for nearly four months.
Half a year!
Even if the third elder brother comes back later, he will start to schedule his shift. He doesn't have to be on duty around the clock, but he still has to be on duty for half a day.
The sun never sets, it’s so tiring.
The fifth elder brother couldn't eat well or sleep well, so he gained another ten pounds.
Now that he was standing, he was out of breath and felt uncomfortable.
He planned to finish his errands and sleep well!
The seventh prince's face remained expressionless, and there was no change in his body.
When he arrived at Brother Nine, Kangxi took a second look.
It seems...lost weight?
what happened?
Worried about the tenth prince?
Kangxi frowned when he thought of this possibility.
Deep brotherhood is a good thing, but after all, when you are older and have a family and a career, you should still put yourself first.
Kangxi looked at the twelfth elder brother again. He looked taller than the ninth elder brother, and looked like an adult.
Two days ago, the Ninth Elder Brother also went to Zhezi and asked about the Twelfth Elder Brother's wedding date.
Kangxi approved "no need to reschedule".
As a result, it will only be a few days before the twelfth prince marries the Fucha family.
In the past two years, the ninth elder brother had expressed his merits to the twelfth elder brother five times and three times. Kangxi also had a better impression of this son. He had some character like the seventh elder brother, who was not talkative, but was serious and diligent in his work.
He remembered that the twelfth elder brother's homework in the study room was not as impressive as other elder brothers, but there was no obvious shortcoming.
The look he looked at the twelfth elder brother was more warm.
"The eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the eighth elder brother..."
Kangxi looked around at his sons and began to call them by name.
The princes who were named all bowed and obeyed orders.
"The four of you will assist Sunu in thoroughly investigating the Aling'a case..." Kangxi said.
The four of them bowed in response.
Kangxi then looked at the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother and said: "Recheck the accounts of Gongxiong County of Yongding River, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the officials of Hedao Yamen, Baoding Prefecture and Xiong County. I want to know the direction of every cent of money!"
The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother also responded in unison.
Kangxi looked at the seventh elder brother again and said: "In twenty years' time, all the officials, women, and eunuchs who will enter the palace will be checked. I want to know whether there are second-level masters or third-level masters behind them!"
The seventh elder brother also responded in a deep voice.
Kangxi looked at his twelfth elder brother and said, "Have a good rest for a few days and prepare for the wedding."
Everyone looked at the twelfth elder brother.
This sounds like it means Brother Twelve has worked hard before?
In addition to wool, has the Ministry of Internal Affairs made new achievements?
The twelfth elder brother felt his scalp numb and his tongue stiff, so he responded in a hoarse voice.
"Everyone, please kneel down. Brother Jiu will stay..."
Kangxi said.
Everyone left.
The fifth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother, a little worried, but he also knew that his younger brother was being honest these days and he probably didn't make any mistakes. So he should ask the tenth elder brother about it, right?
Others thought roughly the same way.
Because everyone had errands to do, they all dispersed.
In Xinuan Pavilion, Brother Jiu had already pulled up a stool and sat down, with a look of fatigue on his face.
Kangxi looked at him and said, "Okay, why are you so tired? Isn't it said that the twelfth elder brother is in charge of the daily affairs of the House of Internal Affairs?"
He looked dissatisfied, but in his heart he was somewhat satisfied with Brother Jiu.
I thought that for the sake of brotherly loyalty, the ninth elder brother would also intervene in the interrogation between the Zongren Mansion and the Shenxing Division in the later stage. However, he knew the rules and did not interfere. In front of Su Nu, he just let Su Nu judge the crime according to the law.
Brother Jiu didn't respond immediately, but took off his purse and poured out two clay balls.
One is made of small stones glued together, and the other looks like plaster balls.
"Khan Ama, my son has been going to Xishan every other day these days, and his legs have become thinner. Just for this, you see..."
With that said, Brother Jiu presented two clay dumplings.
The clay balls are larger than ordinary pills, about an inch in diameter.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and signaled Liang Jiugong to take it.
Xishan?
Have you started hunting birds?
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu's little arm and didn't quite believe it.
Unless you are bringing the Dong E family there, or expecting Brother Jiu to bend his bow and shoot the eagle, it is better to hope that Fengsheng and Akdan will grow up.
When Kangxi picked up the Niwan, he noticed that it was heavy.
He compared the two clay balls, his eyes lingered on the one with the stone glued on it, and said: "This... is clay?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, it is a new clay that my son came up with after reading ancient books. This clay is more viscous and more waterproof than ordinary triple clay. You can try to see if it can be used on dams. If it works, the river
The embankment should last longer than it does now..."
Kangxi was surprised. He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Why do you want to do this? When did you start doing it?"
Brother Jiu said: "There are floods everywhere this year, and the dam broke in Xiong County. My son feels sorry for the silver. He throws millions of taels of silver into the Yongding River every year. As a result, the dam comes out. It will be fine for three to five years. It will be fine."
After three to five years, we have to resign ourselves to fate. This is too expensive, so my son is thinking about whether there is a way to save money that can last for twenty or thirty years..."
