The princes came out first, so naturally they didn't know that the imperial order had been left in front of them.
I came here early in the morning to make arrangements to celebrate my birthday. I was currently working on errands and going to school, so I just left.
Especially the few younger brothers who were still studying did not delay and hurried to Wuyizhai.
The remaining princes who were on duty mostly rode horses and left with their attendants.
Brother Jiu got on the carriage and couldn't help laughing "haha".
When the tenth prince saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Just now, Brother Ninth glanced at the incense burner on the desk.
It's a new item in Qingxi Bookstore, but it looks good. Something must have been added to blend the golden color, which makes it look very grand.
"Khan Ama is here to see me, haha, I definitely like what I gave you..."
The ninth elder brother said it directly without asking the tenth elder brother.
Brother Ten nodded and said, "Brother Ninth is considerate, and the incense burner is more practical than other ornaments."
Families like theirs burn incense throughout the year, and the incense burner lasts longer.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "It has to be practical. If you give a gift, it will be at the bottom of the box. Isn't it better to just recite it for one day? If you look at it this way, you can recite it for a few more days. It's not a loss!"
The tenth elder brother said: "The ninth brother is also sincere and filial. Between father and son, how can we say whether it is a loss or not?"
Brother Jiu thought thoughtfully: "Outside, they say that suffering a loss is taking advantage. Others don't know. Here at Khan's Ama, I am taking advantage. My brothers may not be unaware of this, but it's just that they can't follow suit..."
It makes sense that he had a former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a link here.
If there is no one else, wanting to be filial is also abrupt and leads to speculation.
As for filial piety or not...
snort……
Son's filial piety precedes it, but it is also adorned with father's kindness.
If the father is not kind, then who is the fool to be filial?

In the Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi drank the red date tea in his mouth and looked at the incense burner on the desk.
Golden Crane.
He thought again of the swastika patterns on those sets of clothes.
Brother Nine's filial piety is pure and simple.
He lowered his head and glanced at the folded page at hand. There were Manchu characters written on the left side and Chinese characters written on the right side, which were some honorary titles.
Filial piety, obedience, obedience.
Those who are blessed and have good fortune, celebrate.
Worthy of commendation, worthy of praise, commendable.
Comfortable, calm, comfortable.
Clean, smart, and wise.
What is solemn and heavy is Dun.
Noble, glorious, proud.
This is a beautiful title given to the candidates, but...
Kangxi scratched out the line "Rong".
Ominous.
The imperial family of the Qing Dynasty still has a Prince Rong, who is the beloved son of Emperor Shizu, but he died at a young age.
Kangxi crossed out the line "Shun" again.
Regardless of whether he is the tenth elder brother or the ninth elder brother, these two words are not closely related to his temperament and temperament.
If I really chose this word, outsiders would think it had a bad connotation.
Then, he crossed out the line "Celebrating".
Blessed is not a good word, good fortune is not a good word.
Since he is compassionate, he naturally protects the ninth and tenth elder brothers and will not leave any trouble in the future and let people use their titles to confuse the prince. That would cause chaos and easily damage the relationship between father and son.
He drew a circle on the word "Dun". This honorable title was Zhongping, and it could be given to the 10th Prince. It looked solemn and would not cause criticism.
There are seven characters in total. After crossing out four characters, only three remain.
Kangxi looked at it, but felt dissatisfied, so he put down his pen.
These three words are closely related to Jiu Agege, but only a little bit.
At this time, Liang Jiugong, who had gone out to teach people, came back and brought in Prince An.
Seeing Prince An bowing with humility on his face, Kangxi thought of Prince An in his early years.
The eldest son of Prince Li Zheng, his first wife, Fujin, is the niece of the Queen Mother, and his stepmother is the daughter of his uncle.
Whether it was against the descendants of King Gong, Prince Yu, Prince Gong, or his little cousin Prince An, he was very confident.
It is only in the past few years that I have begun to learn to be respectful.
Kangxi was very lucky. Fortunately, after Yue Le died, he suppressed Prince An's attack on the prince, and there began to be examples of princes surrendering.
Otherwise, according to the previous rules, the prince and the county king will not surrender, and the clan will have too many nobles.
"sit down……"
Thinking this way, Kangxi looked a little warmer towards Prince An.
King Anjun thanked him and sat sideways, waiting for instructions.
Kangxi said: "Ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother has been out of the palace for four years, he is diligent in his work, and he is already twenty..."
Prince An didn't really want to agree.
Isn’t it a bit shameful to praise other people’s skills and diligence?
Kangxi had already gone on to say: "The emperor's grandsons have been added, the population has been increased, and the salary has been reduced, and life is not easy..."
Prince An was a little numb.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs takes care of everything, so why is it not so generous?
Who doesn’t know that the silver shop in Jiufujin and the foreign goods shop in Shifujin are both famous for their prosperous business?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Kangxi stopped talking and looked at Prince An.
Prince An hurriedly said: "Yes, without the salary, it is no wonder that there is no progress..."
Kangxi nodded and said: "Yes, I originally thought that they would be knighted together with the prince below in a few years. Now that I think about it, there is a gap of several years. I can't always be a bald brother..."
Prince An had nothing to care about the prince's title.
Taking Prince Yu's generation as an example, it is not unusual for princes to be crowned kings.
It’s the difference between sealing early and sealing late.
What Prince An is most concerned about is that the prince lowers his flag.
There is currently only one prince under the Zhenglan Banner, and that is the Eighth Prince.
According to the previous order, the ninth elder brother should be behind the eighth elder brother, and then the blue flag should be lowered.
Looking at what the emperor meant a few years ago, it was the same, but now it is not true.
From the 30th year of Kangxi's reign, the Eight Banners had a large population, and each banner had a new assistant collar.
Many Eight Banner surnames, after population growth, divided the original Zuoling population into new Zuoling.
Many of those assistants were princes and assistants, not under the name of the prince.
When Prince An thought of this, he no longer worried about the population of his own banner.
The rule is first, even if the prince lowers his flag, he can only take the leader of the Duke of the Five Banners, and cannot take the leader of others.
The only worry is whether there will be another prince or two more princes.
Prince An didn't bother Kangxi to ask any more questions, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, I wonder which flag the banners of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are drawn from?"
Kangxi glanced at Prince An and was very satisfied.
Yes, he did not plan to allocate the population of the two princes from the upper three banners.
Although the population of each of the Eight Banners is larger or smaller, the difference is not that big.
The three brothers of Prince Yu's generation brought down more than 30 people to lead the family. From the eldest brother to the eighth brother, they had the population of the three banners plus the population of each banner.
Starting from the ninth prince, Kangxi no longer planned to give him the Three Banners population.
Among the various flags, the two red flags had no princes under their banners, and the Zhenglan flag had only one eighth prince and a wealthy male lieutenant.
Kangxi pondered and said: "The ninth elder brother's flag rank is drawn from the Zhenglan flag; the tenth elder brother's flag rank is drawn from the Zhenghong flag..."
Although the brothers Ninth Prince and Tenth Prince had a good relationship, it was too conspicuous for the three princes under Zhenglan to occupy so many princes and lieutenants at once.
It happened that Zhenghongqi had the assistant leader of Dong E's family, and was connected to Prince Kang's Palace. Kangxi did not want things to be too complicated, so he placed the ninth elder brother in Zhenglanqi as planned a few years ago.
Prince An was relieved after hearing this.
Hello, Ninth Brother.
No matter how angry the Ninth Prince is, his status will not be higher than that of the Eighth Prince.
If the 10th elder brother comes over, there will be a distinction between seniority and inferiority, and the 8th elder brother will be suppressed.
He then asked: "What is the title of the ninth elder brother who is the assistant?"
Kangxi looked away from the kang table and said: "Follow the eighth prince's example..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "The population under the name of the tenth elder brother is according to the rules of the Zhijun King..."
Prince An was not surprised by this.
The imperial family of the Qing Dynasty has always been like this, the son is valued more than the mother.
The title of Tenth Prince should have been bestowed upon all the princes.
It's just that since he had the imperial edict, he couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, in the 39th year, because of whipping the imperial censor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tenth prince received a crime in his name..."
Kangxi also remembered this matter, pondered for a moment, and said: "Keep it, the title will be suspended next time the prince is promoted."
Prince An agreed...

At the entrance of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ninth Prince got off the carriage.
After struggling for a long time, he was very tired, and his expression showed some hesitation.
When the tenth brother saw this, he said: "If the ninth brother is worried, send someone to the household department to tell the fourth brother that he should rest for a long time. Otherwise, he will be exhausted and will be delayed when he comes back..."
Brother Jiu immediately listened to the advice and told He Yuzhu: "Just go and tell me that I got up early this morning and was tired from riding in the car. I felt dizzy when I came back. I won't go today."
After hearing this, He Yuzhu did not leave immediately, but said: "Master, what if the Fourth Master asks the imperial doctor..."
Brother Jiu said: "I just said there was no point in sending someone to the Taiyuan Hospital to check in, and asked the government to pay tribute."
He Yuzhu agreed and took his people on horseback to deliver the message to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The ninth elder brother immediately felt relieved and said to the tenth elder brother: "It's neither cold nor hot right now, spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. I'm on duty every day. It's really annoying..."
The tenth elder brother said: "Ninth elder brother can bear with it for a while longer, and it will be fine if Khan Ama comes out of the capital."
Brother Jiu clasped his fingers and said, "I told you it would be May soon, hey, just bear with it..."
Just a few words of complaint, brothers say goodbye, and each goes back to his own home.
Brother Jiu was already hungry, so he came in and said, "I'm going to starve to death. If you can help me, I'll bring you a bowl. If not, I'll bring you a bowl of noodle tea!"
After hearing this, Shu Shu ordered Ging Guo: "Give me a bowl of dendrobium and pork bone soup, and eat it directly with noodles..."
Here in Shu Shu, the dining room has been called to stew dendrobium and pork bone soup.
Spring is the time to replenish energy, and Brother Jiu left the city early to pay his birthdays, just to prepare food for him when he comes back.
In recent years, the government has always had medicated meals.
Among them, dendrobium is the best for daily use and is not drying.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu asked Shu Shu: "Are there many? If so, bring a bowl to Old Ten. Everyone is tired this morning..."
Shu Shu said: "I ordered the dining room to cook a lot of stew, there are rich people."
After saying that, she told Bai Guo: "Listen to Master Jiu and send a copy to Master Ten."
Ging Guo responded and went out to the dining room...
