He Yuzhu stayed up all night in the Shenxing Division, and Brother Nine sent him down to rest.
However, since he listened to Shu Shu's reminder and wanted to file a complaint in front of the emperor, Brother Jiu naturally wanted to know as much detail as possible.
When Brother Ninth passed by the wing in the front yard, he picked up He Yuzhu and said, "Follow me to the imperial palace to prevent Khan Amma from asking..."
Khan Amma is not the kind of person who believes what others say. He only asks questions and sends people to verify later to be convinced.
He Yuzhu did not dare to delay, washed his face with cold water, and followed him out.
They were all old people around him. Even if Yao Zixiao appeared, Brother Jiu had no intention of angering the others.
Where can everyone be Yao Zixiao?
I'm not actually stupid either.
Yao Zixiao didn't pay much attention to his master before, and he was somewhat aware of it. He only thought that he was reading incorrectly and that he didn't know how to serve others, so he paid more attention to other people.
Now that I think about it, maybe Yao Zixiao did it on purpose and was unwilling to be a slave.
Really, when you enter the palace, you will be waiting for others.
If you don't like it, you shouldn't take this path.
Asking Sun Jin to pass the buns to He Yuzhu, Brother Jiu said: "Let's deal with the two of them first, and we'll eat when we come back later..."
He Yuzhu thanked the favor and wolfed down the two cabbage buns.
Unexpectedly, Sun Jin's investigation here would yield results after just one day's investigation.
The nanny of Shigege, Mr. He, was born in an ordinary family. In the past few years, her life has improved and she has built two houses in the outer city. I heard that the family also put a lot of money away to earn profits.
Sun Jin is also clever.
There are currently six princesses in the palace, the youngest of whom, Sixteen Princess, is still young and lives in the West Sixth Palace.
The remaining five princesses were raised in Ningshou Palace.
The nine grids produced by De Fei.
The ten grids produced by the noble Uranala.
The Thirteen Gege and Fifteen Gege produced by Zhang Bin.
The fourteen grids produced by the royal concubine.
This concubine is not the biological mother of the fifteenth and sixteenth princes. That one is the concubine of the prince of Yonghe Palace, and this one is the concubine of the prince of Changchun Palace.
Sun Jin started the investigation directly from the breast nurse next to Shi Gege.
Because Jiu Gege, like the fifth elder brother, was personally raised by the Queen Mother.
There is a biological mother of the fourth concubine and two brothers from the same mother, so there will be no one who bullies Jiu Gege blindly.
Although Thirteen Gege and Fifteen Gege are not as good as Nine Gege, they are only slightly inferior. Moreover, they are still sisters from the same mother and can rely on each other.
The remaining two people are Shi Gege and Fourteen Gege.
It had only been three years since the 14th Princess moved to the princess' residence. If Ru Bao wanted to embezzle, he guessed that there was a limit to what he could embezzle.
Sun Jin chose Shi Gege to investigate.
As a result, within a day, we got the news.
Brother Ninth was very satisfied.
Let Khan Amma see that he is either hysterical and slandering the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or that someone is greedy.
The guards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are becoming more and more courageous. They really think that the Forbidden City is their Forbidden City, and the little masters are fat.
It’s not enough to take advantage. If you don’t take advantage, you feel like you’re at a loss.
Arriving at Qianqing Palace Square, Brother Jiu hesitated for a moment.
According to his original intention, even if Lao Shi was involved, he should have given Lao Shi a warning.
But when he thought that it was the Niu Hulu family that he was suing, he became more worried.
He thought of myna...
Before Bage entered the palace to plead guilty, Shu Shu and Lao Shi both advised him not to go to Babel Mansion...
It’s better not to go to Lao Shi yourself.
Otherwise, it would be bad if others misunderstood or suspected that Lao Shi was responsible for the complaint.
In today's world, what is emphasized is that "family scandals should not be publicized", "keep taboos for the venerable", and "keep secrets from relatives".
Otherwise, even if you are selfless at heart, you will be said to be unkind and have a bad reputation.
It's Chenzheng now, and many officials are waiting outside Jingyun Gate in the south of Qiantou Square.
I was handed the green stamp this morning and the sign was turned over.
According to the rules in the palace, when an official meets his Majesty, he must give him a green lottery ticket twice in the morning and evening, and wait for the emperor to turn over the sign.
The official whose sign had been turned over was waiting outside Jingyun Gate.
They were led by the chamberlains of Qianqing Palace and met with your Majesty one by one.
Brother Jiu didn't pay attention to this before, but now he looked at it and touched his chin.
It seems that his deputy, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has not yet made a first pass.
Don't rush this.
Otherwise, when he goes to Qianqing Palace, he will be like other officials waiting to see His Majesty, handing over signs sooner or later?
If you wait until you turn over the sign before you can invite me, then you won’t be able to see me. It’s all Khan Amma’s decision...
This is pretty good now.
Brother Ninth did not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first.
Being unhurried like that makes things seem unurgent and unimportant.
He stood at the door of the upper study room and happened to hear the sound of the twelfth elder brother reading inside.
"Guihai, established the prince Zhongshan Wang Chengqian as the crown prince, eight years after his birth."
When Brother Jiu was in the study, he also read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and knew that this was a chapter on Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty...
Brother Jiu looked in the direction of Yuqing Palace with a dazed look on his face.
In the eyes of the emperor, the eldest son was different after all.
Even in the eyes of the court ministers, it is believed that if the reserve position is determined, the world will be determined.
By the time he came to his senses, the twelfth prince in the room had already recited the next paragraph.
"In the beginning, the emperor wanted to strengthen the clan and control the world, so the emperor followed him again, his younger brothers and his brothers' sons, even if they were children and scholars, all became kings, and there were dozens of kings..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but shake his head.
No wonder the world admires Tang Taizong instead of Tang Gaozu.
The clan is supplied by the world, but taxes are fixed.
They have all been used to support the clan. When it comes to people's livelihood issues, the court has no money to use, so many important events will be delayed.
When he heard the follow-up: "In November of Geng Yin, all the princes and princes of the clan will be demoted to the county, but only a few meritorious people will not be surrendered...", Brother Jiu felt that it was a wise idea that Khan Ama controlled the clan's ennobled titles.
Otherwise, just like the previous dynasty, the clan would end up with a population of one million, which is simply unimaginable.
As for Khan Amma's brother Gaofeng and son Gaofeng, they are different after all.
It is the same favor, but if the bloodline is far away, is it the same as if the bloodline is close?
The descendants of the emperor and the descendants of the king should not be regarded as the same.
Thinking of this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but pause.
It would be better if he and Shu Shu really had no children, and it would be easier to worry about; if they did have children and grandchildren, they would be descendants of the royal family.
He touched the warm hat involuntarily.
Soft.
It's better to wear an iron hat.
It's like a dream.
Brother Jiu shook his head and threw away this unrealistic thought.
Being content and always happy is the right truth.
Those who are dissatisfied will not have a happy life.
Seeing that the people waiting for you outside Jingyun Gate were almost gone.
Then Ma Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xiong Yixiao, the Minister of Industry, came out.
The third elder brother also followed behind.
It seems that today is the shift between the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.
Brother Jiu straightened his hat and stepped forward with a tight face.
The third elder brother was talking to Ma Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs.
When they met the ninth elder brother, both ministers stopped to pay their respects.
The third elder brother also saw it, stopped, looked at the ninth elder brother, and said: "The ninth elder brother is looking for Master Ma..."
Now he is on duty in the household department and is very familiar with Ma Qi.
Even though he was dissatisfied with the emperor's father for allocating Ma Qi's family to the eighth elder brother, the third elder brother did not change his attitude. He was still polite and warm to Ma Qi, like a polite and virtuous corporal.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to find Master Ma, my brother will go to the imperial court to report something..."
The third elder brother's smile faded, and his tone was admonishing, and he said: "Ninth brother, now that you have an errand, you are no longer the idle elder brother you were before. There are rules for seeing your majesty before you..."
Having said this, he glanced at He Yuzhu and Sun Jin and frowned: "According to the rules, the servants are only allowed outside Jingyun Gate and are not allowed to enter the Qianqing Palace Square..."
Brother Jiu saw that he was pretending to be a big-tailed wolf again, and wanted to fight back, but this was the gate of Qianqing Palace, and he was still in front of two ministers...
He lowered his hands and made a gesture of respect: "What the third brother taught me is that my younger brother must abide by the rules..."
Haha, as for the first sign, you can't follow the rules and ask for an audience from outside the court. There is nothing you can do about it!
Besides, he was not very well-behaved, nor did he rush to the imperial court. Every time, he would ask someone to pass the message at the door, waiting to see him.
As for He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, they were originally eunuchs traveling in the inner court, so naturally they were not treated as the same as those who accompanied the imperial officials.
Those rules restrict those outside the palace.
Qianqing Palace Square is the boundary between the inner and outer dynasties.
In the Qing Palace alone, there were many low-level concubines.
If it's a mess and anyone can come in, it's not a mess.
But what are the eunuchs afraid of?
Even if you want to collide with the imperial concubine, you can't.
His respectful gesture stunned the third elder brother.
Could it be that Lao Jiu shamelessly went to the imperial court and was summoned?
At this moment, someone had already seen Brother Jiu coming and reported it to the emperor.
Liang Jiugong came out and said: "The emperor has a decree to send brother Jiu to visit..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly bowed in response and followed Liang Jiugong in.
The third elder brother looked at the back of the ninth elder brother and asked Ma Qi with curiosity: "Mr. Ma, in addition to the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother who are moving the palace, are there any other matters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few days?"
Ma Qi was helpless after hearing this.
Even if something really happened, could he talk about it at the gate of Qianqing Palace?
His expression remained unchanged and he said: "Master Beile knows about me. He has been at the Ministry of Revenue these past few days and has never been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I really don't know this..."
The third elder brother disagreed and said: "My elder brother is young and has many shortcomings. Khan Ama appointed you to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs just so that you can be the general manager. You don't want to let go..."
Ma Qi responded respectfully: "Yes, I am slacking off. From now on, I will listen to Lord Baylor and pay more attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
While talking, the group of people walked out of Qianqing Gate.
Seeing Ma Qi heading in the direction towards Daqing Gate, this was the way back to the Ministry of Household Affairs, not to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The third elder brother was so worried that he wished he could stop Ma Qi and ask him to turn around and go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sit down instead of spending all his time at the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
But with the Minister of Industry and Industry nearby, he couldn't say anything more.
Otherwise, it would appear that he is greedy for power, running errands in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and running against the Minister of Household Affairs...
Hey, that's what it's like when you go out on an errand. You have to think carefully and don't feel guilty if you don't become a thief...
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi had been looking at Yao Zixiao's confession for a long time.
It only stated that he met with the steward of Niu Hulu's family.
The things that were given to and received from each other privately were all provided by the steward.
He also noticed that "his sister is a member of the public household", and called He Yuzhu who followed the whole interrogation: "Since his palace register says that there is no one in the family, why is there another blood compatriot?"
He Yuzhu knelt down and replied honestly: "The head of the Shenxing Department also asked him about this matter. He said that the daughter was born after his mother remarried and was not in his household registration..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and saw that he was thoughtful, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Brother Jiu hesitated and said: "My son is thinking that there are still traces of the palace maids, and the household registration is clear, but it seems that it is easy for these eunuchs with civilian registrations to do tricks..."
Nine out of ten eunuchs are miserable.
Even if there is no problem in verifying the third generation, what is the reality?
Not many people actually have relatives alive.
No one had the time to check the identities of the little eunuchs one by one.
"My son was confused before and only thought that Yao Zixiao was a slave who was eager to learn, so he couldn't help him and let him serve him when he went to the study... Now that I think about it, something is wrong. It seems like he had read the book earlier and picked it up again. His conversation He is gentler than other slaves... His cousin is also the same. He is smarter than other slaves, which is why he wins the attention of the Eight Brothers. I am afraid that their brothers have learned a lot outside before sending him here..."
