When Dong Dianbang went down, Kangxi couldn't help complaining to Liang Jiugong: "This Laojiu, really, what does Dong's matter have to do with him? I'm just asking a question without thinking..."
Don't slap people in the face when you hit them, don't expose others when you scold them.
What is the difference between this and a slap in the face?
Even though he is the prince's elder brother and has a distinguished status, there is no need to offend others for no reason.
Besides, he is also the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Dong family is also one of the most important families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are the family that he should appease.
Liang Jiugong bowed and said, "Ninth Master may have been worried about Thirteenth Master, so Ninth Master just came out of Wuyizhai."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "I worry about you all day long!"
We can't let it go like this.
Now is not the time to go to the study, and I will come into contact with more people in the future.
Now the one who offends is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so if you move out and live a life on your own, all the clan members and nobles will be offended?
This is inappropriate in both words and deeds.
It is estimated that in the evening, He Yuzhu came with the dishes.
Without Brother Jiu, he couldn't enter the garden directly, so he asked the guards at the small east gate to help pass a message to Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong went over and led He Yuzhu in.
He Yuzhu was holding a lunch box in his hand, a three-layered one, one and a half feet in diameter.
It looks like it should be quite heavy.
Liang Jiugong ordered a rough eunuch to take it over and said, "How many dishes are you offering, Master Jiu? Such a big lunch box?"
He Yuzhu said: "It's just one dish, but our master was thinking about it and was afraid that there wouldn't be enough portions here, so he sent a few more portions."
The corner of Liang Jiugong's mouth twitched. Isn't this a dish specially given to the emperor? Does everyone have a share?
Kangxi happened to meet Buyanu, the newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of War, who was also the father-in-law of the fifth elder brother and Mafa of the fifth Fujin.
Buyanu is already in his sixties, his temples are gray, and he is full of energy. Sitting there, he still looks elegant and dignified.
Kangxi lamented: "It goes by so fast. In a flash, it has been more than ten years since Aiqing left the capital."
It’s just that time is not forgiving.
I looked very young back then, forty years old as if I were thirty years old.
Now I look about the same age as I actually am, and I think that these past ten years have also been a waste of hard work.
Buyanu was a minister he promoted personally. He was originally an official in the Sixth Ministry. In the past twenty-four years, he was sent to Shanxi as an inspector. Then he was promoted twice a year, first to Shanxi chief envoy and then to Shaanxi governor. He managed Shaanxi for ten years.
Three years.
Buyanu's eyes were wet and he said: "This slave is a lowly official. He won the trust of his master and was sent to another place. He didn't dare to slack off at all. Now he is barely doing anything wrong. He has received grace and returned to the capital. Finally, he can sleep peacefully."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "The land of Shaanxi is different from other places. The most important thing is that no fault can be attributed to merit..."
That is the area under the jurisdiction of General Xi'an, where the Green Camp is stationed to guard against military affairs in the northwest and southwest.
The parents and officials there do not need to be open and close; the most important thing is to keep the people in peace.
Had he not been satisfied with Buyanu, Kangxi would not have transferred him back to Beijing.
It's just that Buyanu is so meek and temperamental, the waiter is almost done.
Kangxi also liked his open-minded and comfortable temperament, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about merits and demerits for now. Now you and I are also in-laws."
Buyanu smiled and said: "Wu Fu Jin has a gentle temper and ordinary appearance. He never thought that he would dare to match the prince. The slaves in the lead are full of fear..."
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Five Belles also have shortcomings, let the two of them slowly polish them off!"
The monarch and his ministers reunited after a long absence, and they were able to talk to each other, so Kangxi planned to stay for dinner.
At this time, Liang Jiugong came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu sent He Yuzhu to bring the dishes..."
Kangxi nodded and said: "Ask him to come in."
I have been curious for a long time.
How to use this lotus leaf in the dish?
When He Yuzhu came in with the lunch box, Kangxi took another look at the lunch box and estimated how many dishes it contained.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really useful. Download it here. You can try it soon.]
Are they all made of lotus leaves?
He didn't figure it out at all.
He Yuzhu had already knelt down and kowtowed obediently and said: "Slave He Yuzhu has come to serve the Emperor on the order of our master."
Kangxi was curious, stood up and walked forward, asking: "What are they?"
He Yuzhu opened the lunch box and said: "It's 'Rich Chicken'..."
Kangxi looked down and saw several big mud balls inside.
"Is there chicken wrapped in this?"
Kangxi asked.
He Yuzhu said: "If you tell me back to the emperor, it's true that each portion is a whole chicken."
Kangxi took a look and saw that there were several clay balls in the lunch box.
Thinking that his son had a problem with loose hands, he asked: "How many chickens did Brother Jiu ask someone to cook, and how were they distributed?"
He Yuzhu answered honestly: "There are ten chickens in total. Six of them were kept as tributes. One was given to Yikun Palace, one was given to Yanxi Palace, one was sent to the Third Palace, and one was left. Our master
Stayed with Fujin."
Liang Jiugong was nearby and glanced at He Yuzhu.
Darling, I don’t even notice it on weekdays.
This guy is also a monkey spirit.
He pretends to be honest, but he is actually smart.
This order cannot be wrong.
Otherwise, it would be like Master Jiu having eaten the food, giving it away in a circle, and asking people to send the rest to the garden to pay tribute. What would that be?
Kangxi was indeed very pleased and said: "Why do you give such a gift of the same thing?"
He Yuzhu still looked honest and said: "Our master said, Your Majesty, there are many people here. If there are fewer people, I am afraid that you will not be able to reward enough..."
Kangxi snorted lightly and was noncommittal.
It is not unfair to say that Brother Jiu loves to worry.
This makes me worry about myself again.
Kangxi said to Buyanu: "Ai Qing has caught up, and it's time to try this 'rich chicken' together."
Buyanu leaned forward and said, "That slave has been honored. Master Jiu is filial. Your Majesty is so lucky."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Child Chaos, please worry about it."
Before the meal was served, Kangxi asked He Yuzhu to open a "rich chicken" directly.
Because the food box He Yuzhu was holding was for winter and had a layer of wool felt inside, the chicken was still warm.
The mud crust outside was gone, and the alluring fragrance immediately hit your nostrils.
When I opened the lotus leaf bag inside, my true appearance was revealed. It was golden, shiny, and had the "color" of color, fragrance, and fragrance.
Kangxi looked at the remaining clay balls and told Liang Jiugong, "Send three to the West Garden, one to the Queen Mother's Palace, one to Duoyuan Bookstore, and one to the four lotus ponds..."
This time, the ninth elder brother and his wife did not come. First, the tenth elder brother and his wife lived in the south residence of Hechi. The twelfth elder brother continued to live in the east residence. The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother lived in the middle residence together. The fifteenth elder brother
Live in the smallest Western house.
As a result, the Tenth Prince and his wife went back to the palace to live within a few days.
The fourteenth elder brother moved to Nansuo.
Kangxi was talking about the four places, which meant that several elder brothers would be rewarded with food.
There were two more. He hesitated a little, and blamed Brother Jiu in his heart.
Since I know that the missing portion is not enough, I don’t know how many more to send over.
Nowadays, the palace scrolls here include the concubines, the nobles Wang and the nobles Guarja.
Needless to say, Concubine De, it’s hard to take care of the housework here, and she still has her status here, so she should be rewarded with one.
Kangxi hesitated a little between the noble Wang and the noble Guarjia.
One has not yet become an old love, but the favor has gradually deepened; the other is a new love, and is just what I want.
"One is admiring Ningchun Hall, the other is admiring Guanlan Pavilion..."
Kangxi made the distribution.
Liang Jiugong responded and went down to give instructions.
He Yuzhu also picked up the lunch box and left.
After a while, there was a "rich chicken" in the West Garden.
As the Queen Mother got older, she went to bed early. The dinner was already served and half eaten.
When she heard that it was Brother Jiu who sent this "respectfully", she immediately said: "Open it quickly, you can't make a mistake in specifying it."
I have been out for about ten days, and everything is fine here, except that Shu Shu is missing, Jiu Gege is missing his friends, and I have less snacks and fresh food here...

Tuoyuan Bookstore, main hall.
The dinner table was also set, and sitting there were not only the prince and the princess, but also the eldest elder brother of Yuqing Palace and the second elder brother of Yuqing Palace.
The prince knew that the princess was in bad health, so he gave up the idea of begging for a legitimate son, and began to pay attention to the eldest son, hoping that the relationship between the eldest son and the princess would be more harmonious.
Khan Amma will be happy to see the results.
At this moment, the "rich chicken" rewarded by the emperor arrived, and it was Wei Zhu who came to give it to him.
The prince asked a few questions and said: "Did Khan Ama get the prescription during his tour to the south?"
Although he has never eaten this, he has seen related records in previous travel notes. It seems to be the way of eating it in the south of the Yangtze River, called "stewed chicken".
Wei Zhu bowed and said: "It's the 'gift dish' sent by Master Jiu. There are six portions in total. The emperor sent his servants to give you and the Crown Princess one portion..."
The prince nodded and motioned to the servant next to him to reward him.
When Wei Zhu went down, the prince smiled and said to the princess: "This old man is one year older, but he is still not serious. I heard that he came here in the morning and licked all the lotus flowers in Changchun Garden. It turned out that he was doing it for food."
The Crown Princess thought of the Lantern Festival gift she gave during the first lunar month.
That Lantern Festival is different.
She also smiled and said: "I have collected the things several times. If we find an opportunity later, we can also return the gifts."
The prince muttered: "The renovations at the prince's residence are almost complete. Either this year or next year, we will move out. Then the moving ceremony will be more generous."
The Crown Princess nodded and said: "Yes, I have written it down..."
Akedun, the eldest brother of Yuqing Palace, was nearby and felt uneasy.
He grew up with his biological mother, so naturally he feels closer to her.
Unfortunately these days, Ama keeps asking him to be close to his biological mother.
He was unwilling and did not dare to show it.
Seeing that Ama was talking to his aunt in a thoughtful manner, which was completely different from talking to his mother-in-law, he felt a little awkward and deliberately said: "Uncle Jiu is so filial. It's really as he said..."
The prince and princess both calmed down and looked at him.
The Crown Princess's expression did not change, but she felt unhappy.
It is rude to interrupt the elders when they are talking; it is even more inappropriate to directly talk about the rights and wrongs of the elders.
The prince was also a little uncomfortable.
He had some regrets.
In the early years, I was looking forward to giving birth to a legitimate son, but I lost control of my bastard sons and allowed them to grow up beside their biological mother. This kind of upbringing was not good enough.
He said in a dull voice: "What's the same thing?"
Akedun said: "Uncle Jiu said today that my maternal family is my relative. If you are obedient, you will pay attention to me. If you are disobedient, go away..."
How could this be?
Without a loving mother, who could jump out of the cracks in the rocks?
"He also said that when it was not the Han Dynasty, there was no need to distinguish princes from their mother's clan..."
This sentence is even more wrong. "A son is more valuable than his mother" and the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is the ethical order.
He also said the "three theories" of Brother Jiu.
Discussing respect and inferiority, discussing etiquette and law, and discussing sentiment.
"Uncle Jiu said that you should be filial to Mafa and not to be filial to the relatives on the outer third road..."
Brother Jiu's words were spoken in Wuyizhai. In full view of everyone, Akedun did not add any exaggeration to what he said, but only learned it truthfully.
The prince listened, his expression still dull, but his face turned pale, and sweat broke out on his forehead...
