The third elder brother took the ninth elder brother and left everyone, whispering to each other.
The fourteenth brother looked puzzled and asked the thirteenth brother: "When did the ninth brother become like this to the third brother?"
Everyone looked at Brother Fourteen.
Brother Thirteen frowned and said, "Brother Ninth was dragged away by Brother Three."
The fourteenth elder brother is still a little curious: "What can the third brother ask for from the ninth brother?"
As he said that, he looked at Brother Ten.
The tenth prince had no intention of answering.
Fourteenth Brother: "..."
He didn't ask any more questions.
It feels so bad to shut up and not speak.
It seems that it is easy to offend my brothers when I open my mouth to speak.
At this moment, Brother Jiu had come back. He took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and said, "Is the banquet about to begin?"
The brothers stopped talking and went to the palace where the banquet was held.
Just like the vassal banquet on New Year's Eve, in addition to the various princes and princes, there were also ministers, bachelors and bodyguards.
It's just that compared with the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the scale of the Lantern Festival banquet is smaller.
The banquet given by the Hall of Supreme Harmony was attended by all Mongolian tribes. The Shangyuan Banquet was divided into two days, and the participating vassal tribes were also divided into two.
Some are for today, and some are for tomorrow.
Brother Jiu originally wanted to join his brothers in making up the numbers, but after sitting down, the familiar Prince Taiji came over to say hello.
It turns out that everyone who is well-informed knows that Brother Jiu is going to work in the Lifan Academy.
The one who came first was Taiji from the Abahai tribe, brother-in-law of the tenth prince.
Brother Jiu was very impressed by him and knew that he was a Buddhist monk who had returned to secular life. He was a generous man. In recent years, the gifts he had given to the Prince of Dunjun were more generous than in the past.
"Jiubele is the best brother of Master Shi, the best brother of our Abahai tribe. This year is the year that our Abahai tribe will host the alliance. In July, when the grassland is full of flowers, our Xilin Gol
The five tribes and ten banners will gather together on Chugulagan Aobao Mountain to open Naadam and invite the nobles to come down..."
Monan Mongolia is now an alliance flag system.
Several tribes form an alliance and have an alliance leader.
When the alliance is held the next year, the imperial court will send ministers from the vassal council to witness the alliance.
The ninth elder brother was moved after hearing this and said: "You are the brother-in-law of the tenth elder brother and also my relative. If I get the chance, I will definitely go and see the scenery of Xilin Gol grassland."
Abahaibu is not far from the capital. If you can really go there, the round trip won't take much time.
On Naadam, in addition to wrestling, horse riding, and archery, there are all kinds of banquets.
It's just a good time to know yourself and the enemy, and see how health wine can quickly replace kumiss.
In the same year as the Abahai tribe, there were also the Ulanqab League and the Yikezhao League.
However, these tribes did not have as close a relationship with the imperial court as the eastern tribes, and no one had any friendship with Jiu Age.
When Abahai Taiji left, Dadaiji from the Darhan Palace of the Horqin tribe came over again.
"Master Jiu, I would like to ask about the establishment of a new station..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "That's not a question for me. Where to add new stations will be decided between the Lifan Yuan and the Ministry of War."
Dadaiji said: "What about the construction of the Huang Temple?"
Brother Jiu said: "Then I have nothing to do with it!"
He saw that Dadaiji was looking for excuses to build relationships and had no interest in taking over.
Princess Duan Min is unruly, how can his eldest son be any better?
When I met him in Horqin in the early years, this man also straightened his back.
Now it's too late to know how to tuck your tail.
Humph, his ninth elder brother is not a generous person, so don't say anything like smiling and letting go of grudges.
After a while, people from the Karaqin tribe and the Wengniute tribe came up to greet them.
Brother Ninth didn't mean to get too close, he still had the same attitude as before.
He thought very clearly that there was no need to be so approachable.
Even if he goes to the Lifan Courtyard, he is still the prince's elder brother.
He was a master before the Mongolian princes, not a minister who handled trivial matters for them.
There is no trivial matter when it comes to vassal affairs, this is the principle.
It is also a principle that respect and inferiority cannot be reversed.
His attitude fell in the eyes of Prince Taiji of various tribes, and everyone knew that Lord Beile was not as kind and talkative as Five Beile. Thinking about the rumors about this person, their attitude towards him became more and more respectful.
The liveliness of Ninth Brother's place naturally fell in the eyes of all the princes.
The eldest brother looked at him like a little rooster, took a sip of wine naan, and looked in the direction of Qingxi Bookstore.
What does Khan Amma mean?
Do you really want the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother to be in charge of the vassal court together?
Unlikely.
That is to move the fifth elder brother out of the Lifan Courtyard.
Seeing how familiar all the ministries were with the fifth elder brother, the eldest elder brother knew that this should be the reason.
Even if it is a deserted ministry like the Lifanyuan, Khan Ama does not want the prince to take charge of it, for fear that it will involve too much time.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with jealousy.
Everyone knows that Mongolians love to make friends and spend money generously.
The Lifan Yuan sounds less important than the Ministry of Rites, but it has always been rich.
When we are in the capital, if we go on a business trip to attend the meeting of the Lifan Yuan Minister, the gifts he receives can cover his salary for several years.
This Laojiu really has some wealth luck of his own, as he works in these well-off yamen.
Although I was only responsible for a small errand during the half year in the household department, I caught up with "Bing Jing", "Tan Jing" and "Nian Jing", and I also had 1,800 taels of silver.
The seventh elder brother was bright-eyed and like the eldest elder brother, he also guessed that the fifth elder brother was going to change departments, but he couldn't think of which yamen it would be at the moment.
??????????.??????
The eighth elder brother was being pulled by the fourteenth elder brother to talk. He looked at the endless stream of flatterers next to the ninth elder brother with deep eyes.
Is this the confidence of "Aiko"?!
Who else would be so arrogant to the Mongolian prince?
In half a month, Yu Qian called the Ninth Prince several times.
Even though he had left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Khan Amma still left the logistics of the tour to Brother Nine.
What about yourself?
Walking from the Ministry to the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was far away from the previous court...
The fourteenth elder brother also looked at the excitement on the ninth elder brother's side. He wanted to mutter a few words, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.
He is not a fool, and he knows that good advice may offend the ears.
Compared with other brothers, it's already good that Ninth Brother can give him a boost.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince treated me superficially, but it was only superficial.
If it was useful, I didn't even say a word to myself.
No wonder everyone doesn't want to talk to him anymore. If he's not an honest person, who would be willing to have a true friendship with him?
Just like the New Year's Eve vassal banquet, Kangxi showed his face, ordered the princes to accompany the banquet on his behalf, and returned to Qingxi Bookstore.
When the banquet was over, Wei Zhu came and conveyed Kangxi's oral instructions, ordering the fifth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother to meet him.
The fifth elder brother drank a lot and was shaking when he walked.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu quickly asked someone to pour him some strong tea to sober him up.
The fifth elder brother took it and drank it in three sips. His mind became clearer, but he still needed the support of the eunuch to walk more steadily.
Brother Fourteen couldn't hold it any longer and was a little excited.
Khan Amma finally remembered him!
By sending him a message at this time, do you want him to follow you?!
The ninth elder brother wanted to return to Beijing after the banquet, but now he saw the fifth elder brother in such a state. He was a little worried and said to the tenth elder brother: "Fifth elder brother has wine, shall we wait for fifth elder brother?"
Naturally, the tenth prince had no objection.
The fifth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother followed Wei Zhu away.
Everyone else also dispersed.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother did not wait outside and got into the carriage to talk.
"If you take the fifth brother with you, you won't have to take the fourteenth brother with you, right?"
The ninth elder brother also thought about the Holy Emperor's southern tour and told the tenth elder brother.
Dogs can't change eating shit.
Brother Fourteen keeps his mouth shut a lot these days, but one's nature is hard to change.
The 10th Prince thought for a moment and said, "It's probably not the southern patrol. It's probably the 14th Prince's errand."
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother couldn't help but frown and said: "Then why do you call the fifth elder brother? The fourth brother also comes to manage the vassal courtyard?"
The tenth elder brother: "..."
Brother Ninth continued: "Huh, Fourteenth, please don't cause trouble to me when the time comes. I won't spoil him..."
The tenth elder brother said: "The fifth elder brother has been in the Lifanyuan for several years. It's time to take charge of the ministry."
Brother Ninth: "..."
He didn't blame him, but asked curiously: "Which yamen will fifth brother go to?"
The tenth elder brother pondered: "It can't be the Ministry of Industry. The fifth brother has been to the Ministry of Industry. It can't be the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. It can't be the Ministry of Punishment, or other yamen..."
Brother Ninth Brother said: "It shouldn't be the Ministry of Punishment. They are checking the files for the first half of the year. That would be too embarrassing for Brother Five."
Besides, the Ministry of Punishment now has thirteen brothers.
Even if the Thirteenth Prince is young and not in charge of his own affairs, there should be no need to put the two princes together in the same academy.
The tenth prince did not agree this time.
After all, the fifth elder brother is the elder brother, and he is ranked first in the title of knighthood.
The meaning of walking in Liubu is different from walking in Jiuqing Yamen.
It's probably the Ministry of Punishment...
*
In Qingxi Bookstore.
The fifth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother stood honestly and behaved very well.
But after listening to Kangxi's words, both of them looked up in surprise.
The fifth elder brother always went with the flow, but now he was struggling, saying: "Khan Ama, the Criminal Department is an important government office, and this involves human lives. My son is struggling to read the files, so don't delay the business..."
Kangxi said: "If you look at it hard, just read it a few more times. If you dare to fool people and despise human life, huh..."
He didn't say the rest of the words.
The fifth elder brother had a sad face, as if he was mourning for his heir.
The fourteenth elder brother was nearby and immediately said: "Khan Ama, how about my son also go to the punishment department? Then I will take care of the fifth brother and fill in the gaps..."
The fifth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother, somewhat inexplicably.
There is also the Thirteenth Brother in the Criminal Department. He has always been diligent in his duties, but he still uses the Fourteenth Brother to fill in his gaps?
He is somewhat unaware of himself.
Kangxi looked at his fourteenth elder brother and said calmly: "Study well at the Ministry of Household Affairs and don't aim too high!"
The fourteenth elder brother didn't dare to mess around, so he agreed honestly.
The two brothers came out of Qingxi Bookstore, walking a little unsteadily.
The fifth elder brother didn't see the file, but he felt a headache. He rubbed his temples and wondered if he was suffering from "eye disease"?
In that case, two people can be arranged to read the dossier.
Huh?
This is really a good idea.
He has always been generous, and when he thought of ways to deal with it, he became less repulsive about going to the Ministry of Punishment.
The fourteenth elder brother looked confused, and then looked at the fifth elder brother.
The Ninth Brother went to the Lifan Court and squeezed out the Fifth Brother. Can I have some ambitions and the Household Department squeezed out the Fourth Brother...
