This matter is disgusting and cannot be brought to the table.
Whether it's the rumor that the eighth prince is in trouble or the rumor that the eighth prince is suspected of having a broken sleeve, it's not easy to investigate based on this.
It's unclear, and it's easy for the noise to get louder and louder.
The ninth elder brother kicked him a few times and knew that he could not send it to the clan government for trial. He looked at the third elder brother and said, "Third elder brother, what should I do? According to this kid, there was such a saying before and after Laba, so this is all very serious.
Come on, isn’t this spread all over the place?”
The third elder brother also felt a headache and said: "Who is so sinister? If you use this to gossip, the eighth elder brother will not be able to clear his suspicions before the child is born!"
As for the eighth elder brother caring about the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, these two boys added it themselves.
The ninth elder brother doesn't like the eighth elder brother, but he doesn't like such rumors either.
"Why should I look at a method like Aling'a's? Just talking about things like bed, people can't prove their innocence, but this method is easy to use against women, but against men..."
As Brother Jiu spoke, he felt a little unable to continue.
It also works against men!
Especially the eighth prince who has a strong mind and loves to think too much.
In the future, when Brother Eight comes into contact with others, will he suspect that others are laughing at him for being "incompetent"?
I felt sick and uncomfortable when I heard the rumor just now, what about others?
When Eighth Prince is lenient to others, others have to wonder whether he is lenient or lacks rigidity.
Aling'a has long since disappeared. Brother Jiu took Aling'a as an example to say that his behavior was despicable and had no bottom line.
The third elder brother also thinks this method is disgraceful, but if he dares to deal with the eighth elder brother, his status should not be too low.
For a moment, he couldn't guess who was causing trouble.
Zengshou and Manduhudu kept silent.
Where can they get involved in royal affairs?
Brother Jiu glanced at the two of them and said, "You have all heard about it, why don't you want to say something?"
Manduhu said awkwardly: "When I heard it, I thought it was a nonsense. I didn't expect it to spread so widely."
The key was that the message was true, and the eighth prince had indeed been married for many years without any children, so he thought it was true. He accidentally overheard it and just pretended not to know.
Otherwise, can we still go to Ba Age for verification?
Zengshou and Manduhu had similar ideas, but I didn't expect them to be false.
After all, the eighth prince is Dorobel and the current prince. Who has the courage to spread rumors about him?
He replied truthfully: "I thought it was a secret. I didn't dare to spread it casually after hearing it. I just kept it in my heart."
The third elder brother and the ninth elder brother knew that what mattered now was not whether there were rumors or not, but that someone was plotting against the prince.
Rumors about the prince have never stopped outside.
But it's all within a small area, among the nobles and nobles of the clan.
It is said that the eldest brother asked for a legitimate son to prevent Ge Ge from being happy. As a result, he gave birth to four daughters in a row and missed the emperor's eldest grandson.
It is said that the prince is not taboo on meat and vegetables, but loves the younger eunuchs more. There are many female relatives in Yuqing Palace, but there are only three or two imperial grandchildren.
It is said that the third elder brother is stingy and eats soft food, is a confused person, has unclear inner affairs, and has not established himself as a concubine.
It is said that the fourth elder brother has an impatient temper and is not liked by his biological mother. He looks serious, but he has a doting concubine inside.
It is said that the fifth elder brother is uneducated and has no skills. He cannot even memorize Chinese and can only speak Mandarin and Mongolian...
There are all kinds of things, and they are more or less legit, and they are not just random fabrications.
Even Brother Jiu has had his tongue chewed several times.
One time, after he had been ill for thirty-seven years, he was found to be in poor health and had children in trouble, so some rumors got out.
One time was when Brother Fengsheng was born last year, and Shu Shu was in double confinement. People said that she had postpartum metrorrhagia and was struggling.
This is all based on getting some information and then processing it.
The final analysis is that the royal parents are short-lived, and the nobles of the clan pay more attention to them in private.
Treat it as news in a small area, say a few words, and then change the topic to a new topic.
Like Ba Age, the large-scale gossip has been spreading for nearly ten days and has not subsided. It seems strange that it has spread throughout the Eight Banners.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "The Holy Master will return to Beijing tomorrow..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, Ama Khan will be back tomorrow."
The third elder brother said: "Then... let's go together to see Khan Amma and ask Khan Amma to handle this matter?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I won't go!"
The third elder brother advised: "We are all brothers, and we are both humiliated by this humiliation. This is not the time to worry about grudges..."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the third elder brother and said: "Third elder brother, this is the eighth elder brother's business. Shouldn't it be up to the eighth elder brother to make up his own mind whether or not to report to the emperor? How to report it to the emperor? You have good intentions, but if you cross the eighth elder brother, this
Are you hated?"
When others saw this, they thought that the third elder brother was causing trouble and slandering the eighth elder brother in front of the emperor.
Anyway, the eighth prince likes to think too much, so he probably won’t accept the kindness of the third prince.
The third elder brother patted his forehead and said: "I'm confused. Then I'll go back to the palace and ask the eighth elder brother. Should he report it to the emperor and let Khan Ama check it, or should the eighth elder brother investigate it himself? He really has to make his own decision...
…”
The third elder brother hurriedly entered the palace.
Brother Jiu returned to the living room to talk to Zhuliang.
Qi Xi is the elder and accompanies his in-laws to talk to the old men in the clan.
Zhuliang came with her parents to help Zengshou, so she was relatively free.
Brother Ninth asked Zhuliang directly: "Have you heard any gossip about Brother Eight?"
Zhu Liang nodded, with a bit of embarrassment, and said: "I know that you must not listen to anything inappropriate. I either didn't ask for it on purpose, or I overheard it accidentally."
Brother Jiu said: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Fusong happened to be away from the capital these days and went to Baoding Zhuangzi to check the accounts.
Cao Shun went to Tianjin.
On weekdays, these two people summarize all the news inside and outside and tell Brother Jiu.
Otherwise, Brother Jiu would not have heard about this until today.
Zhu Liang was surprised, looked at Brother Jiu and said, "I didn't expect to tell Lord Jiu, I just thought it was irrelevant gossip..."
If there were rumors about the fifth elder brother or the tenth elder brother, he would tell the ninth elder brother because he knew that those two people were closely related to the ninth elder brother.
There are only rumors about other princes, and most of them are just heard.
He wasn't a talkative person, and he didn't want to tell Brother Jiu this specifically.
Brother Jiu also knew that Zhu Liang was not very clever, so he told me: "In the future, if the gossip about the princes of various families sounds as unpleasant and outrageous as this time, just tell me. If it is just ordinary gossip, forget it."
Zhu Liang nodded and said, "I understand."
As for what is unpleasant and outrageous, if he compares it with the current rumors, then he probably knows how to distinguish...

Forbidden City, South Study.
Brother Ba's eyes were dry when he looked at the book, and he couldn't help but glance at the clock next to him.
Usually three people read the question book, but today only one and a half people read it.
The fifth elder brother was not as lazy as usual. He frowned and rubbed his butt, looking at the question book and racking his brains.
Saying half of it seems to be giving him a thumbs up.
From the morning until now, the fifth elder brother has looked at the sorted question books, let alone half of the question books that the eighth elder brother has dealt with, not even half of half.
The fifth elder brother usually doesn't like to talk to the eighth elder brother, but now he can't help but talk to him: "What's going on with the third elder brother? You didn't just stop and come here, do you want to start the dinner directly?"
The eighth prince said: "It must be because there are so many guests that we are delayed!"
The fifth elder brother relaxed his eyebrows and said: "In the old-style public house, the in-laws are either the royal family or the clan. This marriage is also decent."
Brother Ba smiled and listened, but felt awkward hearing these words.
Is this talking about the dignity of the Dong E family, or the respectability of the third elder brother and the ninth elder brother?
Their wives are descendants of the founding fathers of the country and are still prominent today.
My own wife clan...
Even if there was Prince An's palace standing there, Bafujin almost broke up with the palace and sued his uncle and aunt, which reminds people of Bafujin's heel.
The daughter of the sinner...
Like my fourth brother, I had no husband when I got married.
However, the Ama of Sifujin was Khan Amma’s confidant during his lifetime, and the Ama of his own Fujin was the chicken that Khan Ama used to rectify the bad habits of the Eight Banners and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Seeing that the eighth elder brother didn't support him, the fifth elder brother was a little unhappy. He glared at the eighth elder brother and said, "You should have rested early when you were sick. As a result, you became seriously ill, and even passed the illness to the seventh..."
He didn't feel sorry for the eighth elder brother, but he felt sorry for the seventh elder brother.
Nan Shufang worked hard every day, but fortunately, his seventh brother was there, so he could sleep soundly.
If only the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother were there, he would not be able to sleep well.
He is cheerful on the face, and looks as close to his brothers as he is, but in his heart he is aware of the distance between him and his brothers.
The eighth elder brother said sarcastically: "It's my brother's fault. I didn't expect that he caught a cold, and it was so serious. I lay in bed for more than ten days without saying anything, and even hurt the seventh brother..."
The fifth elder brother was not mean. When he saw that he had lost a lot of weight and his cheeks were deflated, he coughed twice and said: "You are just too thin. You are picky about your meals. You like vegetarian food or not. You don't like meat."
If you stop shooting, your body will be weak. Eat more meat to maintain a strong body. Don’t be lazy when riding and shooting. This body is guaranteed to be healthy. Even if you have a minor illness or disaster, your body will be strong.
I can handle it."
After talking about it, he straightened his waist and no longer felt that his fat body was an eyesore.
It would be nice if the belly could be closed, otherwise I would sit on the head.
At this moment, there was movement at the door, and the third elder brother opened the curtain and came in.
The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother both stood up.
The fifth elder brother said with joy on his face: "Third brother, please take a seat!"
Before Third Brother could answer, he went to the kang. There were the small pillows he brought from home and a three-foot-square quilt.
After sitting for more than half an hour, his waist was almost straight.
This time, he lay on his side and rested for a while.
The eighth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother, not knowing what to say.
Even if Third Brother came over, he wouldn't have enough time.
The third elder brother glanced at the fifth elder brother, a little hesitant.
Is it okay to tell the eighth elder brother’s secret things in front of the fifth elder brother?
It doesn't seem very good.
The eighth elder brother is petty and loves to hold grudges.
I came here to tell him with good intentions, but there may not be any good results.
At this time, the third elder brother felt a little responsible for being an elder brother. He pointed to the end mask on the clothes rack next to him and said: "Eighth brother, you have put on some clothes and come out..."
The eighth elder brother was stunned. Seeing the solemn look of the third elder brother, he nodded and put on the end mask.
The fifth elder brother was lying on his side and looking at the two of them. When he saw this, he sat up and said, "Third brother, what's the matter?"
Thinking that the third elder brother had come from Dong Egong's mansion, he looked worried.
The third elder brother said: "Ninth elder brother is fine. I have some other matters that I need to talk to the eighth elder brother."
The fifth elder brother lay down immediately without saying anything to urge him.
The Holy Master is stationed at three stores today, so it won’t matter if the inscription comes later...
*
The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother left the south study room without taking anyone else. They just left the Qianqing Gate and arrived at the unguarded corridor.
The eighth prince was worried and a little confused.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the question book they were handling?
Apart from official duties, he had no personal contact with Third Brother.
In the past few years, there have been various frictions, and we look like laughing on the face, but in fact the rift has deepened.
The third elder brother didn’t add any extra fuel, he directly told the gossip he heard and followed up accordingly.
"I originally thought about asking Khan Amma to report this matter tomorrow, but I think I can't go past you. You have to make your own decision..."
The third elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother, with sympathy on his face, and said: "Did the case of the Ministry of Punishments last year offend too many people? The other party delayed their revenge until now? If you dare to confront the prince's elder brother directly, you are risking your life.
Such an approach requires a life-and-death feud!"
The blood on the eighth prince's face faded, he clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth so hard that he made a "gurgle" sound.
Isn't it possible to have a life-and-death feud?
No wonder Fujin got through this strange illness and got through it virtuously.
The identity of this "enemy" is not difficult to guess...
The eighth prince's eyes are red.
The third elder brother was startled when he saw the strong resentment that he couldn't hide, and said: "Are you really aware of this? What kind of bastard is this that deceives you like this?"
The eighth prince was extremely angry and extremely sober.
He knew who was behind the scenes, and the person behind the scenes also knew that he would guess her.
But can he uncover the truth?
If the person next to me really says something bad about him, what will the people outside think?
Bafujin is not afraid of life and death. Can he really accept the consequences of divorcing his wife or his wife "died of illness"?
When the time comes, I can fool outsiders, but I cannot fool Prince Anjun.
At that time, not only will we no longer be relatives, we will also have an enemy...
