Chapter 1601 First appearance (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
After being transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Ninth was really not used to it.
It's just that it's hard to put off the day to go to the Hubu Yamen.
On this day, the third day of March, the weather was fine.
Brother Jiu put on a royal blue silk coat and an indigo vest, and took a look in the mirror.
He didn't like clothes of such ordinary colors, but he also knew that it was his first time to go to the Hubu Yamen today, so it was better not to stand out.
In the past, he had the final say in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but now he has no control over the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister, and the Minister, but it is not his turn to be in charge of the Minister or the Minister.
And there is also a fourth brother here.
The elder brother who has been knighted and has the highest number of teeth still loves to teach others.
Brother Ninth didn't want to listen to his verbosity.
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "If I had known that General Khan Ama would transfer me out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I would have taken the initiative to ask the Lifan Yuan. This is the year of the alliance, and all the ministers of the Lifan Yuan have been sent out."
When the time comes, as an imperial envoy, I will go to preside over the alliance, which will be a decent and affordable job.
Shu Shu hung a maroon purse on Brother Jiu's hand and said, "Don't the ministries and academies take their turn? I don't know when it will be the Lifanyuan's turn."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's all I can think of. I don't like to deal with these scheming people. On the contrary, the Mongolian prince Taiji is a honest person, and occasionally there are cunning ones, so he doesn't dare to fool me.
It’s more pleasant to deal with.”
Shu Shu said: "I'm not the chief officer. In the past, I just looked at files and files. When I got tired of reading, I came back early."
There is no need to act too capable, lest you turn around and steal the thirteenth brother's job, earning your life in exchange for a future.
Brother Jiu said: "I think so too. I'll pretend to be good for a few days. When Khan Ama goes to Haidian, I plan to go for half a day, and then go out with Lao Shi for the remaining half to drink tea, listen to books and so on."
Shu Shu listened and thought of Kong Shangren who wrote "The Legend of Tongtian Bang" the year before last.
He was originally the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he was dismissed from office because he wrote "The Legend of Tongtian Bang" and criticized the imperial court.
"The Peach Blossom Fan" should have been written, right?
It just hasn't spread yet.
She looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Let me listen carefully and see if there are any good books. Later, my tenth brother and I will also go and listen."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Then I have to sift through it carefully. The bad Fengyue scripts are not suitable for you women to listen to..."
The husband and wife have the same view, that is, if they are in bed, they can only talk in bed.
As for the matters between men and women, the couple can make fun of them as much as they want, but they don't talk about it in front of others, which makes them seem frivolous.
After breakfast, Brother Jiu went out.
The tenth elder brother was already waiting at the door. He looked at the ninth elder brother wearing it and said with a smile: "It's not eye-catching. It will be cheaper when you turn around and run away..."
Brother Jiu said: "If I were a prince in charge of the department, cleaning would be fine, but I would just be a handyman, which would be boring. I'm just a bird, right?"
Although the color of his clothes conforms to the general trend, Brother Jiu still wears a yellow belt around his waist.
This is also a way to show one's identity and avoid a blindfolded collision. It doesn't matter if you get angry or not angry.
Except for He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, those who followed him to the Yamen were Cao Shun and Chun Lin who brought their bodyguards with them.
After Fu Song traveled far away, the internal affairs of the Prince's Mansion were temporarily overseen by Gui Yuan.
As for Cao Shun, his strengths lay outside, so it was a pity that he only took care of the general affairs, so he just followed the 9th elder brother.
The two brothers got into the carriage.
When passing by Babeile Mansion, Brother Jiu opened the car curtain and took a look.
There was no one at the door.
The mansion, which had only been built a few years ago, looked a bit dilapidated.
The ninth elder brother asked the tenth elder brother: "What does Khan Ama mean? If we really let him be idle like this, will he be idle for a few years?"
The 10th Prince said: "Having been troubled by this illness, Khan Ama must have seen the pulse record and knew that he was seriously ill."
The tenth elder brother is much better informed than the ninth elder brother.
He knew that although Eighth Prince only fell ill in February, Fucha had already been "sick" on the first day of the first lunar month and asked a doctor to prescribe medicine.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "I'm just too idle and think too much. If I'm not a prince, I'm a coolie, and I don't have time to think about things."
But the tenth prince knew that the eighth prince was stronger.
The eighth prince will not have a share of the blue armor given before the year, nor will the eighth prince have a share of the reward after the new year. The eighth prince is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating, and will feel ashamed.
He said: "Anyway, there is nothing important in the court at the moment. We have to wait until he is completely recovered and the rules in Baylor's house are in place before Khan Amma lets him go out on duty."
Brother Jiu said with disdain: "You are so old and you haven't made any progress yet. You are so weak. If this continues, who can't see who he is? Unless you coax the little brother to go, the brothers will only keep a respectful distance from him."
The tenth elder brother said: "I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. From now on, the ninth brother should stay away from him."
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother always talked about everything, so they talked about the angry scene during the visit to the doctor the day before yesterday morning, saying: "I am such a bitch, I shouldn't think about facial favors, but give him some face.
How dare you talk to Akdan about Fengsheng!"
After hearing this, Brother Ten turned cold and said, "Brother Ninth, don't worry, even if he doesn't have a son, he has no right to worry about Brother Ninth's son..."
Brother Jiu said: "Yes, if I don't talk about turning against him, it's almost as good as it is. Give him a son and let him dream!"
As the two brothers talked, the carriage arrived at the east side of Daqingmen.
This is Hubu Street, with a row of government offices from north to south, including the Zongren Mansion, the Libu Government Office, the Hubu Government Office, and the Libu Government Office.
To the right of the yamen is Bingbu Street, and across the street is a row of yamen, including the yamen of the Ministry of War, the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Honglu Temple, Qintianjian and Imperial Hospital.
Brother Jiu got off the carriage and saw the high-walled courtyard.
Brother Ninth came to the Transfer Department Yamen, but the feeling was still different today.
He told the tenth elder brother: "Today, I will come back in the afternoon and try the official rice from the Ministry of Finance..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Ninth, don't worry, among the six departments, the food in Hubu is famous for being good..."
When governors from other places came to Beijing, the ones who visited the Ministry of Finance the most were the Ministry of Husbandry, including Bing Jing and Tan Jing.
Brother Jiu was moved after hearing this and said: "That's a good experience..."
As the brothers talked, they arrived at the door of the Hubu Yamen and said goodbye.
Brother Jiu came in and met a clerk holding a document.
The man looked at Brother Jiu's youth with doubts on his face. Then he saw the yellow belt around his waist and hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Jiu..."
The news that the emperor's ninth son resigned from the post of head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and came to the Ministry of Revenue has spread throughout the six yamen.
The Hubu Yamen was particularly shaken.
The Han officials were okay. Although they were afraid of the imperial power, they also knew that there was a difference between superiority and inferiority and that they could not compete with each other. The Manchu officials knew more about the Nine Princes.
Regardless of whether Ninth Brother did it intentionally or unintentionally, when he was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he knocked many wealthy families away.
Not to mention cleaning it from top to bottom, at least 10% to 20% of people will be involved.
The worst case may be to lose one's status, and the worst case may be to lose one's official position and be dismissed from office.
Who can bear this?
Coincidentally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has six treasury and the Ministry of Revenue has three treasury!
Isn't this beloved son here to rectify the three treasuries of Hubu?
It was difficult for the minister and the minister to explain anything directly. The doctor below had already given numerous instructions not to provoke the ninth elder brother.
Therefore, as soon as this man said hello, the officials passing by also avoided asking him to say hello.
For a moment, everyone was a little panicked.
Manchu officials and young men are not allowed to kneel down and hit Qian'er directly.
Brother Ninth couldn't bear to cause trouble to everyone, so he waved his hand and shouted, then went to Brother Four's check-in room.
The fourth elder brother has already received the news and knows that the ninth elder brother is here.
He put down the file in his hand, looked at Brother Jiu who came in at the door and said, "You can bear it. Khan Ama gave orders the day before yesterday and you just came to the Ministry of Finance today?"
Brother Ninth coughed twice and said, "Aren't you tired from going out? I just rested for two days. I shouldn't be here today. I should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hand over..."
He had forgotten that one before.
Seeing Brother Si, he felt uncomfortable staying in this room. He missed the spaciousness of the duty room in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then remembered that there was no handover.
Brother Si looked at him and said speechlessly: "Can this be delayed?"
Brother Ninth said: "When I went on patrol, the seal of the general manager was temporarily transferred to Musca. It didn't bother me. I was just thinking about saying goodbye to Twelve, Lao Gao and the others."
The fourth elder brother urged him: "Then don't delay. Let's go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first. The Ministry of Household Affairs is on duty today, and the Minister is in Qianqing Palace. It's time to meet people in the afternoon."
Brother Jiu was not in a hurry and said: "Fourth brother, Khan Ama only asked me to walk in Hubu, so what kind of walking method is it? Where did you learn it when you came here?"
Brother Si thought for a while and said: "I spent the first half a year in the north and south stalls, then I read files in the two Qing officials' offices in Shandong and Jiangnan, and then I worked in Cangchang Yamen..."
Brother Jiu felt a headache after listening to it, and said: "Isn't it true that there are three treasuries in the household department, as well as Qian Fatang and Baoquan Bureau?"
How come it coincides with reading a book?
Could it be that the prince came down to serve as a scribe?
The fourth elder brother was also anxious earlier, but now he looked very calm in front of his younger brother. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Why are you anxious? You must be familiar with the rules of the yamen before you can learn to do things..."
