Brother Ninth heard this and felt puzzled: "It's the third child who is being disrespectful and unfriendly. What does it have to do with the Crown Prince? Isn't the Crown Prince in the capital?"
Yi Fei glanced at Brother Jiu, unable to explain to this silly son.
That was the emperor, and every movement and movement had profound meaning.
Just because of the fight, you were punished so harshly?
It's not like a pig's brain is beaten into a dog's brain, it's all skin trauma, and there are causes and consequences.
The third elder brother is the emperor's help in choosing the prince. Today is not just a matter of the prince's elder brother being demoted.
The third wise king flew away...
However, the emperor has always been partial to the prince, and even if he is angry, it will not last long, and he will have to promote a son later.
Mostly the fourth child...
Previously, the emperor's candidate for the Nine Fortunes was Aling'a's daughter and the niece of Concubine De.
But the Tong family got involved.
The emperor then designated Dong E as the Jiufu Jin.
There was a little embarrassment between Concubine Yi and Concubine De.
It is better to resolve enemies than to end them, and it is better to resolve them as soon as possible.
The ninth elder brother remembered the business and told him how the eldest elder brother was protecting the fifth elder brother when he was injured, and how the tenth elder brother was also injured when he was protecting him.
"Mother, please take a look. Have you sent someone over to have a look..."
Yi Fei nodded and said: "I understand, how about Third Brother?"
The ninth elder brother curled his lips and talked about the imperial doctor's diagnosis of the third elder brother and the emperor's reaction.
Yi Fei raised the corner of her mouth.
The ninth elder brother has to go to the eldest elder brother, and he comes and leaves in a hurry.
Concubine Yi thought for a while and then ordered Xianglan to prepare some gifts.
The eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, and the tenth elder brother all prepared a portion, as well as the fifth elder brother, the four injured, all of whom were not left behind, similar ginseng, bird's nest, etc.
"Don't drag Thirteen down, prepare another meal..."
As Concubine Yi spoke, she thought of Zhang Bin, whom she had just expelled.
Normally she is sensible, but today she is a little petty, but she has a motherly heart.
She then told Xiang Lan: "Go and see Zhang Bin and ask her if she has anything for Brother Thirteen... Mention what Lao Jiu just said to her, so as to save her from worrying about it because she doesn't know anything about it...
"
Xianglan responded and went out.
A little less.
Xianglan prepared all kinds of gift boxes, asked the mothers-in-law to wait, and went to Zhang Bin's residence in the backyard.
After hearing the report, Zhang Bin quickly stood up to greet her. She didn't look annoyed at all and said with a smile, "But what do you want me to do?"
Xianglan was blessed and said: "My Majesty sent my servants to visit some elder brothers... My Majesty said that I would ask my servants to come over and see if I have anything to bring to the Thirteenth Master..."
Zhang Bin's face showed surprise.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, I happened to make two quilted vests here. I was thinking of adding more clothes to my brother... I'm sorry for bothering you, girl..."
Xianglan bowed and said: "You're welcome..."
Zhang Concubine hurriedly ordered the palace maid to pack her clothes.
Then, she looked at Xianglan and hesitated to speak.
Xianglan didn't make any excuses, so she briefly talked about the fight between the princes before.
Zhang Bin listened carefully and found out that Brother Thirteen was not involved, so she finally felt relieved.
Xianglan helped Yifei explain: "Because it involves the fifth elder brother, our queen is holding fire in her heart and has neglected the concubine..."
Zhang Bin smiled heartily and said: "What's the point? Your Majesty has always been open-minded. There are many people who look after me on weekdays. How can I hold a grudge because of this..."
Xianglan saw that she was sincere and had no objection, so she had to remind her in a low voice.
"In addition to the princes, princes, and concubines, third elder brother also has more restraints on people here. It's better to be quiet these days..."
Zhang Bin listened carefully, with gratitude on her face. She was very grateful and whispered: "I'd like to remind you, miss..."
This is not to remind her to restrain others, but to remind her not to hit the muzzle of the gun.
Will the emperor feel better if his beloved son is demoted?
At this moment, the palace attendant also brought out the package.
Xianglan took it and handed it to the little palace maid. Then she felt blessed and turned around to leave...
*
In the eldest brother's yard.
The eldest brother has already taken off his shirt.
He was lying on the kang, and an imperial doctor was rubbing the bruises on his back vigorously.
The eldest brother has been on the battlefield and suffered trauma. He knows that such trauma needs to be rubbed away to heal. Otherwise, it will be bruised for many days, which will make it even more difficult to endure later.
The imperial physician is very powerful.
After a while, the bruise on the eldest brother's back became darker again.
At this time, a young eunuch came in to report.
"Master, Master Jiu is here..."
The eldest brother didn't move anywhere and just raised his voice to ask people to come in.
Brother Jiu came in and was shocked when he saw this scene.
The eldest brother gritted his teeth and felt sweat on his forehead in pain.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he glared at the eunuch standing next to him.
"Are you blind? How can you serve the master? Go and get two clean towels, your teeth will break in a while..."
The eunuch didn't move, only looked at the eldest brother. When he saw the eldest brother nodded, he turned around and went out.
The eldest brother turned his head and said with a smile: "Old Jiuxing, you have really grown up and can take care of others..."
Brother Ninth hummed and said: "That means you were born first... If my younger brother was born first, he would definitely be a good brother. If you don't believe me, just look at Old Ten and Thirteen, and see if I took good care of my younger brother..."
Seeing him showing off his achievements so brazenly, the eldest brother looked a little displeased.
"Is it a good brother to take care of me, or a good sister-in-law to take care of me? Why didn't I see you so sensible and considerate before the wedding..."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows with a bit of pride.
"Husband and wife are one. Without me as a good brother, who would be willing to be a good sister-in-law for these brats like them..."
The eldest brother was not convinced: "Only your Fujin is good, right? Others' Fujin is not good?"
The ninth elder brother was about to nod when he noticed that the eldest elder brother's eyes were not good, so he changed his head and shook his head.
"That can't be done. Not to mention others, even my sister-in-law is very good at what she does... My brother and I have troubled my sister-in-law a lot both inside and outside before and after my wedding..."
The eldest brother's face became better now, and he nodded and said: "It's good to know! Who calls her the sister-in-law? She married me and became my brother-in-law with you brats..."
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother was very unconvinced and glanced at the eldest elder brother.
Why are all the brothers-in-law such brats?
Whose brother-in-law is the eldest brother?
Not to mention, among the brothers with the same grandfather, the eldest brother is ranked first.
At this moment, the eunuch had already brought two clean towels.
The ninth elder brother took a piece and personally brought it to the eldest elder brother's mouth.
The eldest brother's eyes fell on his hand, but he still bit the towel with his mouth open.
The imperial doctor at the back poured medicinal wine into his hands and started rubbing them for the second time.
Brother Jiu was nearby and saw his gentle movements and said, "The stronger you are, my eldest brother is thick-skinned and not afraid of this... That's right! Use your arms harder..."
It was so noisy that the eldest brother felt his head buzzing and wanted to shut up the ninth brother.
But there was a towel in his mouth, so he gouged Brother Jiu twice with his eyes.??
Brother Jiu saw this and came over.
"Brother, your eyes are cramped? Can my brother help you rub them?"
As he said that, he took another towel and wiped it on Brother Zai's eyes.
The eldest brother spit out the towel in his mouth and was about to stop him, but found that his movements were not as rough and brutal as expected, but very gentle.
Brother Jiu was wiping it and asked, "Is it better?"
"Um!"
The eldest brother responded in a muffled voice.
Only then did Brother Jiu stop his movements, pulled up a chair, sat next to the kang, and watched the imperial doctor massage him.
After about half a cup of tea, the imperial doctor finished the massage.
The bruise on the eldest brother's back that was originally as big as a bowl has doubled or tripled in size.
Brother Jiu looked at it, grinning, and felt his back hurt.
The eldest brother turned over and sat up. Seeing that he was acting strangely and not looking stable, he felt a headache: "Why are you here? Do you have something to say?"
"Brother, have you heard about it? My younger brother is planning to sell medicine to Mongolia, but he has no one to help him...
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, my brother knows the internal leaders under our empress's name, but I don't want to use them, lest they get into trouble...
But you can’t be a bare-bones general. Why don’t you come here and tell me, if there are any available from Concubine Hui’s mother’s tribe, or children from other relatives’ families, from the three banners of the inner government, I can push two people over..."
Brother Ninth did not hesitate and stated his intention directly.
After hearing this, the elder brother couldn't help frowning and looked at the ninth elder brother solemnly.
"No nonsense is allowed! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not an ordinary government office. You can use "three things to do when a new official takes office" and "kill chickens and scare monkeys" when you pick someone who has made mistakes, but you cannot use nepotism...
Destroying a person's future is like killing one's parents. The vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are known one by one. You are new here, so don't interfere in personnel affairs...
Even if you want to replace someone, you have to calm down for a while and wait until you are more familiar with the situation before you transfer your deputy...
Don’t put outsiders in, as it will lose fairness and make it easy for others to criticize..."
These are all good words.
Brother Jiu also knows what is good and what is bad.
He stood up, lowered his hands and listened.
He waited until the eldest brother finished speaking before he opened his mouth to explain.
"Brother has misunderstood. It's not the shortage of quotas from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the errands of selling medicines... In addition to selling medicines, we also need to arrange some other things later. Seriously, we need a lot of manpower..."
The eldest brother frowned even more tightly, and after a while he said, "Is this what Khan Ama agreed to?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise my younger brother wouldn't dare to make his own decisions..."
The eldest brother suddenly said: "No wonder Khan Ama was angry and didn't exempt you from your errand. It turned out to be for this..."
Brother Jiu's face was full of pride. He sat down and crossed his legs, feeling a little proud.
"Except for my younger brother, who else among the princes and elder brothers is knowledgeable about economics? My younger brother promised Khan Amma that he would contribute 80% of the profits to the inner treasury... Therefore, my younger brother's errands here will be paid according to the salary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
, when there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will fill it with this merit..."
The eldest brother thought for a while and said: "This is your first errand. You have to be very careful. It requires experienced people to handle it... I will think about it here and pick two suitable people to go over..."
Having said this, he reminded: "On Concubine Yi's mother's side, only my branch carries the flag, and there are also clan members and in-laws who carry the three flags in the inner palace..."
Everyone is in the palace, there are no secrets.
What's more, the Jin family is still restless and very good at plotting.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "I don't want to use them... One by one, relying on their seniority, they come to the younger brother to lean on their elders and act old. Is it annoying? Anyway, younger brother, I have a bad temper, and I can't listen to the cats and dogs around my elders.
, the little master has to respect it... Bah! What slave made up this nonsense..."
The eldest brother saw that he had a tough talk and asked with a smile: "Then when you met Liang Jiugong, why did you say 'well-versed'? Why didn't you show off the prince's elder brother's profile?"
Brother Nine glanced at him curiously.
"Brother, I'm not stupid! What's wrong with the polite words? We weren't there yet when they started serving Khan Amma... What if this offends us and blows our ears?"
The eldest brother laughed and scolded: "Let's go quickly! My ears are full of wind, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Brother Jiu stood up and said: "This is all the truth! Brother, you are also weak, just like Khan Ama, you cannot listen to the truth..."
With that said, he waved his hand and walked out.
The eldest brother sat by the kang and watched the figure disappear at the door.
These young brothers rarely interact with each other because of the big age difference.
His previous impression of Brother Ninth was similar to the evaluation of the Emperor's father today.
Unlearned and unskilled, unsophisticated and ignorant of the teachings...
Now it seems that it is too superficial.
This guy is nice.
Jiufujin is also good.
The young couple always look happy and joyful, and everyone else is happy when they look at it.
It was the same for me and Fujin back then, it was like honey mixed with oil.
When did the alienation begin?
Princesses entered the door one by one...
The daughters landed one by one...
Disappointment again and again is not the legitimate son...
The eldest brother sighed heavily.
I decided to have a good talk with Fujin after returning to Beijing and focus on health care...
