In terms of seniority, Erhe is indeed ahead of Fuqing, and he is also qualified to be a candidate for the third rank.
However, if there is a vacancy in the rank of third-rank officer, the rule is that the flag commander selects the officer from those who should be selected, and he will accompany two people and introduce the replacement.
If Erhe wants to be promoted to the rank of ginseng leader, he needs to be recommended by the entire banner, and the ninth prince cannot intervene.
"Then it can't be a supplementary job, it has to fill a public vacancy, or it must be transferred to another place..."
Brother Ninth said.
In fact, Qi Xi is now the commander-in-chief of the Shangsan Banners, but he is a foreigner after all, and Jiu Age has no intention of bothering his father-in-law.
Shu Shu said: "The third level is a hurdle, as long as you get over it, it will be fine. It's better to give it a try than to complain about it."
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
As long as the ninth elder brother contributes to the promotion of his staff, Erhe should be ranked first in Fuqing.
Today, I mentioned Fu Qing in a hurry. Brother Jiu knew that he was just making up the numbers, but when word spread outside, he thought it was because he wanted to befriend Ma Qi.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, I didn't plan to keep them any longer. Even Cao Shun will be released when the years are enough..."
The banquet at the Prince's Mansion started at the second quarter of Youzheng. It was half an hour later, and it was not yet the first quarter of Youzheng. The city gate was not closed, so the couple went back to Haidian directly.
It’s already the beginning of summer, the days are getting longer, and it’s only getting dark at the end of the night.
The couple returned to Beiwusuo just before sunset.
Shu Shu knew that Brother Jiu was picky and rarely used chopsticks when dining outside, so he ordered Bai Guo: "Ask the kitchen to cook two bowls of silver noodles, and ask for a thicker soup..."
Brother Jiu said: "Looking at the table surface being crooked with tiredness, I would like to order two refreshing side dishes."
Bai Guo responded and went down to give the order.
The couple simply freshen up.
Noodles and side dishes were delivered.
It was Shanxi Gongyu's silver noodles. It looked thin but tasted very strong. It was served with milk melon pickles and perilla leaves. The two of them ate more than half a bowl.
Ni Guzhu is in the North Garden, Brother Fengsheng is in Liusuo, and there is Zakdan.
After the couple ate noodles, they went to the back room. They met with the uncle first, and then went to the east wing.
Zakdan was awake, having just had a bowel movement, changing his diaper, and washing his naked buttocks.
Brother Ninth looked at the chubby thighs and the many grooves, and said in surprise: "You are so fat, don't you have this body shape just like the fifth brother?"
Shu Shu couldn't help but touch her little son's fat feet. The insteps were as high as if they were inflated, and the big toes were still curled up. They looked round and cute, and the toenails were all pink.
"Cackle, cluck..."
The little fat man thought Shu Shu was playing with him and kept laughing, revealing his bare pink gums.
"This is milk fat. It will be fine after one year old..."
Shu Shu said something fair for her son.
When Brother Jiu saw Shu Shu touching his son's feet, he couldn't help but touch them twice.
The little elder brother was stretching his arms, and when he saw the ninth elder brother leaning over, he grabbed a handful on his neck.
"Why……"
Brother Jiu was caught red-handed and smiled and said to Shu Shu: "This is quite powerful."
Shu Shu looked over hurriedly.
Fortunately, the little brother's fingernails were trimmed, and there were only two white marks on the neck of the ninth brother.
Otherwise, the child will not know the importance and grab it, just a few purlins.
Xiao Chun was scratched in several places.
If Brother Jiu is caught, he will feel guilty if he is not a thief. Others will think that the grape trellis has fallen down.
For an ordinary couple, this is just fun, but for the royal family, this is their own sin.
"Cackle, cluck..."
The little brother smiled even more cheerfully.
Seeing this, Shu Shu also smiled.
He is a healthy child.
When the couple returned to the main room, the ninth elder brother's eyes were bright and he said to Shu Shu: "I heard that the eldest brother has been very strong since he was a child. Our third elder brother will definitely become a great general king in the future!"
The founding of the Qing Dynasty was different from that of previous dynasties. It was Emperor Taizu who brought his brothers, children and grandchildren to conquer the country.
Every prince of the clan has a dream of becoming a great general.
Brother Ninth was self-aware and had never had this thought. Fengsheng and Akdan were born in multiple births, so they only looked forward to health and thank God.
On the contrary, it was Zakdan who could see that his body and bones were stronger than those of his two brothers.
When Shu Shu heard General Wang, he felt that it was not a good name.
Not to mention the great general who founded the country, half of them died of smallpox and diseases; of the other half, not many died of old age.
Among the great generals and kings of this dynasty, some lost their royal titles, some were demoted after their death, some had their titles transferred, and Prince Yu and Prince Gong were left out in the cold for more than ten years.
That location is very tricky.
It is easy to have sequelae.
But Shu Shu didn't say anything else. He only said: "Uncle Hei will be serving as an official when the time comes. Please ask him to teach Third Brother how to ride and shoot."
Heishan walked with the red flag, hung the third rank, and according to the rules, he became an official at the age of fifty-four, which happened to be when Zakdan became a monk a few years later.
The ninth elder brother nodded and said: "Okay, okay, then our third elder brother will also draw the fourteen-power bow..."
In that case, there is no doubt that he will become the most powerful archer among the emperor's grandson.
Brother Ninth sighed and said: "It's a pity that I can't keep up with the two groups of emperors' grandchildren in front of me..."
Otherwise, it will definitely stand out.
Shu Shu nodded, but felt in her heart that it might be a good thing.
Just in time to avoid the Northwest War in the late Kangxi years...

Xinjun Prince's Mansion is brightly lit.
There is a curfew at three o'clock at one watch, and the tables here will be dispersed after the watch.
The rules of the imperial court exist, and neither officials nor citizens are allowed to break the rules.
The carriage from Babeile Mansion also slowly left Prince Xinjun's Mansion.
The eighth prince smelled of alcohol, his face was flushed, but his eyes were clear.
He is just like that, he gets drunk easily, and he looks like he has no alcohol capacity, but in fact he only gets drunk on his face and not on his head.
"How's it going with the women? Do you all get along harmoniously?"
The eighth elder brother thought about the ninth elder brother's promiscuity, and spoke carefully.
Ba Fujin glanced at Ba Age and said: "The ladies in the palace are a little attentive, but there are no big troubles."
It was just an idle clan before, and suddenly it became the banner lord prince.
That is to say, there are two princes, Fujin, and the three sisters-in-law of Prince Anjun at the banquet today. Otherwise, those ladies would be even more proud.
After hearing this, the eighth elder brother felt a little disappointed.
My own Fujin only mentioned a few wives in the palace and did not mention Jiu Fujin, which meant that Jiu Fujin could not make mistakes.
The eighth prince thought of the relationship between Prince Zhuang's Mansion and Jiu Beile's Mansion, and he should have been at war with each other. However, because of Jiu Fujin's behavior and his friendship with the female relatives of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, there seemed to be no quarrel between the two families.
When people outside mentioned this matter, they also said that Brother Jiu was lucky and married a good Fujin.
It would be great if Jiu Fujin acted as he pleased like Brother Jiu...

That night, a secret envelope was received in the Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, which contained detailed records of the banquet at Prince Xinjun's palace, including the list of people attending the banquet, the list of banquet guests, and the words spoken by everyone during the banquet.
Kangxi watched for a long time, and his eyes fell on Prince Xin's request for the ninth prince to recommend Dutong, and the eighth prince toasted in succession.
"Recommend Fu Qing, the second-class bodyguard, what a joke!"
Seeing the response of the ninth elder brother in front of him, Kangxi shook his head.
After a few years of service, if you don’t even know who is qualified as a candidate, what else can you care about?
Looking back, the Eighth Prince made a toast and called him "uncle". Prince Xin was still sitting there, and Kangxi's face turned gloomy.
"Crack!"
He threw the secret fold aside and got another fold.
This is a record of Prince Gong's request to be crowned Crown Prince for his second son, Mandu.
Kangxi looked indifferent and looked at it for a long time. He didn't give any reply and threw it into a stack of folders lying next to him.
This is Brother Ninth Brother's cousin and brother-in-law, but he and others treat him coldly. He doesn't know what is far and near, so what qualifications does he have to be named a prince...

In the North Garden, the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Ni Guzhu lay in the arms of the Queen Mother and told the Queen Mother about her experience of going to Changchun Garden today.
"Uncle Shiba is so young, only one fist taller than me, yet he is also an uncle. He can't even hold me..."
Ni Guzhu said a little puzzled.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Have you not seen the younger Uncle Nineteen? Why do you still feel strange?"
Ni Guzhu: “…”
I have almost forgotten about it, so mentioning it like this makes some impression.
There is also an aunt who is seventeen.
"You can be an aunt and uncle at such a young age, so when will I become an aunt?"
Ni Guzhu became interested and said: "I will also prepare New Year's purses for my nephew and niece..."
The Queen Mother rubbed her back and said, "I am already an aunt. I have an eldest nephew in the study. He also has a sister who is about the same age as you. He also calls you aunt..."
This is about Prince Ping and his half-sister.
Ni Guzhu said: "Then why don't you give me New Year greetings?"
The Queen Mother said: "The older one is in school and can't come out; the younger one is being raised at home and will only come out to socialize when he is older."
Ni Guzhu said: "Then I won't kiss my relatives until I see them. I still want a nephew who is closer to me."
The Queen Mother thought about Ni Guzhu's cousins and said: "The closer nephew will be born a few years later, but the closer nephew will be born in a few years..."
Ni Guzhu said: "Nephew? I know this, he is the child of the sister's family...Sisters...the third sister of the uncle's family has asked someone to submit a message. They are holding a banquet and invite everyone to have a drink. Will Mother Uku come?
?”
The Queen Mother said: "That is a small banquet between you sisters, the elders will not go."
Ni Guzhu twisted his fingers and said: "There I am, the third sister, the eldest sister, the second sister from the fourth uncle's family, the third sister from the second uncle's family, the fifth sister from the seventh uncle's family, and the younger sister from the third uncle's family.
Too young to go..."
As the Queen Mother listened, she thought of Tana from her eldest grandson's family, a little princess who couldn't do anything.
It would be better to be educated by Guarjia's side for a few years, but now it's easy to show timidity...
*
Beitou Institute, back room.
Guarjia took the post from Nantousuo and was also discussing the matter with the fifth elder brother.
"The post has been posted. It's not a good idea not to let Da Gege go, but Da Gege is young and there might be something wrong..."
Unfortunately, this post was only sent to children, not adults, and it was difficult to follow.
"Sangege and Niguzhugege are younger..."
If these two people were older, they could be asked to take care of Tana, but in fact the two children were five and four years old.
The fifth elder brother breathed out and said: "Go ahead, it's not comprehensive if it's not thorough. You can't hide it. You can't let her stay behind closed doors..."
