Guidan drooped his head and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Ninth sat down, his face looking ugly.
He's doing well here, but in the palace, others can't compare to him.
As for Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law, it is not easy to just thank guests behind closed doors, as they will have to be disturbed.
Gao Bin was standing next to him with a puzzled look on his face.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Do you think I am cold-blooded and ruthless?"
Gao Bin hurriedly shook his head and said: "I don't dare. I'm just wondering if it's your uncle's house, Lord Jiu. You've saved my mother's dignity by mentioning it. It's your filial piety..."
The Prince's Mansion is almost completed, but there are no candidates for staff.
Now there is only Brother Fusong, a polished general.
According to the current rules, the Ninth Prince can decide this candidate for staff with one word.
It only takes one sentence to hang a ceremony for the uncle of Guo Luoluo's family.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "I'm usually very clever, but now I'm stupid. I'm too lazy to talk. I'll go back and ask you!"
After returning from the Yamen, Gao Bin asked his father seriously.
Gao Yanzhong did not answer, but scolded him with a straight face: "Who are you? It's your turn to question Master Jiu's actions?!"
Gao Bin blushed and said: "This... my son just thinks that Master Jiu is quite humane on weekdays. He has friendly relations with his elder brothers and is also friendly to his relatives in the Yue family. He is not like the prince's elder brother.
, why is it different when we arrive at Guo Luoluo's house..."
These Eight Banners attach great importance to in-laws, uncle's family, aunt's family, and aunt's family. When it comes to it, they are ranked ahead of the in-law's family.
Gao Yanzhong said: "You used to be an errand, and it is your duty to do your job well. If you keep talking like this, go back and continue studying!"
Gao Bin closed his mouth and did not dare to say any more.
Gao Yanzhong said: "You work with Master Jiu as an errand, and you are carrying Master Jiu's job. If Master Jiu is close to you, you will be close to him; if Master Jiu is alienated, you will be alienated... As for why Master Jiu is close and why he is alienated, that is Jiu Yanzhong.
It’s not our slave’s turn to worry about the Lord’s affairs!”
Gao Bin felt a little aggrieved and said, "My son doesn't know the rules. Isn't he afraid of affecting Master Jiu's reputation?"
Earlier, the outside world described Brother Jiu as a playboy, but this year the rhetoric has changed.
There are those who say things that are worse, and there are also those who praise their abilities.
Gao Yanzhong taught: "You must remember your identity and do what you need to do to be real. Everything else is imaginary. How Master Jiu behaves is taught by the emperor and the concubine at the top, and the fifth elder brother and the concubine are taught by him at the bottom.
Brothers, why is it your turn to worry about this?"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Gao Bin drooped his head and nodded.
Gao Yanzhong then said: "Since the official positions of the uncles of Guo Luoluo's family were not dismissed by Master Jiu, they were dismissed by the emperor. At this time, Master Jiu will not arrange a ceremony for them as a subordinate official of the prince's palace."
suitable……"
Gao Bin suddenly realized that this was the reason.
Gao Yanzhong said: "Without merit, it is impossible to seek a future with Master Jiu with a thick skin. The same is true for you as a errand. If you just want to work for a few years and get the qualifications, you can be recommended by Master Jiu to supplement the position of the Internal Affairs Bureau."
The lack of official positions is just a dream!"
Gao Bin hurriedly said: "My son hasn't thought about it that way. My son is still young!"
Gao Yanzhong glanced at him and said, "You can't drift, otherwise you will be disliked by Master Jiu. When Cao Shun has finished the errands in Hangzhou and returns to Beijing on errands, you have to move back!"
Gao Bin said seriously: "My son has written it down..."
*
When Brother Jiu returned to the second office, he also mentioned the matter to Shu Shu.
"The boss still prefers the second and third children in his family, otherwise the family should have separated long ago..."
Brother Jiu said with disapproval.
If the brothers of Guo Luoluo's family were to separate, at least the eldest brother's side would be the same. After all, they were Yi Fei's brothers.
Even in the fourth and fifth bedrooms, there are no knots that can't be resolved. You can get closer by slowly moving closer.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "I should still have some confidence in my heart and feel that my empress is filial."
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
Sanguan Bao was Yi Fei's close ama, and he was respected and valued by Kangxi, so he was naturally high-spirited.
The Guo Luoluo family does not have the name of relatives of the country, but they have the actual status of relatives of the country.
In this dynasty, the Guo Luoluo family is still the only family that has a woman carrying the flag.
The three officials are proud of themselves because they have been decent these years.
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "You still want to rely on your old age? Are you a soft-hearted woman? In my opinion, it is a good thing to clean it up like this. Khan Ama has always been famous for his actions. Since he deposed them, there must be some little ones."
Your pigtails are exposed, and now when you should be wearing them, you are running around in the capital without knowing the current affairs!"
Shu Shu said: "Mom, do you want to let me know when you are out of confinement?"
Brother Ninth said: "Let's see what Brother Five and Sister-in-law Five mean then..."
This is the advantage of being a younger brother. You don't have to make your own decisions, and you don't have to worry about them complaining.
June flies by.
Before I knew it, it was the end of June.
The Holy Master has always been stationed in Changchun Garden.
If it's short, it's three or four days, if it's long, it's seven or eight days. In one month, I go five or six times.
But it's mostly official business.
For example, the construction progress of the Queen Mother's Garden, the selection of haha beads by the 16th Prince and the 2nd Prince of Yuqing Palace, and the move of Concubine Zhang to the palace.
In June, there are three auspicious days in total.
One is at the beginning of the month, one is at the middle of the month, and one is at the end of the month.
Concubine Zhang chose the middle period on her own, but Concubine Hui felt it was too hasty and was worried that the Chuxiu Palace would not be clean, so she left it until the second period.
The concubines of the original Changchun Palace will be relocated to the rear side hall of Chuxiu Palace.
When Zhang concubine moved to the palace, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was responsible for this matter.
Brother Ninth came here to ask for instructions from Concubine Zhang on how to handle the affairs of her servants.
As early as more than ten years ago, when Zhang Concubine was appointed concubine, she was assigned to be responsible for the leadership of her subordinates.
According to the rules of the palace, the imperial concubine and the concubine are two internal stewards, the concubine is one, and the concubines share one.
The half-captain assigned to Concubine Zhang was not reassigned, but the half-captain assigned to Concubine Jing, which happened to be the same as the concubine of Dong Palace.
This is another reason why the women of the Dong Palace can completely control Zhang Bin, that is because the people under Zhang Bin's name are in name only, but are actually under the control of the Dong family.
After Brother Jiu found out about this, he came to Changchun Garden to ask for permission to choose another servant for Zhang Bin.
"Khan Ama, in addition to Concubine Zhang, there is also Concubine Wei. My son was worried and asked specifically. The people in charge of the population under her name are mostly assigned by Concubine Xi..."
Brother Jiu said.
Even if there was no bullying of concubines in Qixiang Palace, it was still not in line with the rules.
Kangxi couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
This situation also has some reasons from the past.
That was the half of the stewardship assigned to Concubine Wei at the beginning. It was under the name of Concubine An, and it happened to be the same stewardship as Concubine Xi.
After the An concubine fell into silence, the people in charge were all controlled by the concubine Xi. It took seven or eight years for a new master to be found.
Kangxi then said: "The original manager of Changchun Palace was responsible for the withdrawal of the servants, and another manager was assigned to control the population and the concubines Zhang and Xi. The manager of Qixiang Palace was responsible for the withdrawal of the servants, and another manager was assigned to control the population and the concubines Wei... and the concubines Wei...
Lord Gualja..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but open his eyes as he listened.
Lord Gualja?
You must know that using a subordinate to lead a subordinate is treated as a concubine or above!
Guarjia was drafted into the palace last year, and it has only been more than a year!
If you stay in the palace, you will be granted the title of noble, and within one year you will be granted the title of concubine?
Kangxi glanced at him angrily and said, "What are you doing so weird?"
"hehe……"
Brother Jiu said with a smile: "Isn't this my son wondering which palace should be renovated? Jingyang Palace has a collection of books, and they can't be cleared out; Chengqian Palace has been idle for many years, and Changchun Palace has been left to Concubine Wei. There is only one eternal life.
The palace is still empty..."
Hearing him mention this, Kangxi also remembered his previous plan and said: "When your mother-in-law moves to Changchun Garden at the end of the month, Yongshou Palace and Changchun Palace can be repaired at the same time!"
Brother Jiu pursed his lips.
Be good!
Is this for noble Gualja?
Preparing a royal concubine?
Brother Jiu couldn't help it and said: "Khan Ama, this... this..."
When he opened his mouth, he realized that he was short of words.
It was the imperial father's harem. Whoever went in and who came down must please the emperor's father. How could a son question it?
But he was still a little aggrieved.
If you choose a noble concubine among the palace concubines, wouldn’t you become the concubine Hui?!
The children are looked after by others, the harem is worried about, and there is no time for promotion?!
Kangxi couldn't see his indignant look, so he turned dark and said, "What? You still want to teach me how to behave?"
After hearing this, Brother Jiu lost his previous caution and said: "Who Ama Khan wants to be promoted to is indeed irrelevant to his son, but why doesn't he want to slander him? He has multiple concubines.
, my concubine, I would like to show you my filial piety during the Qianqiu Festival with us. Isn’t this thinking of Concubine Hui and our empress? They are both grandmothers, and they have to move their seats back. It’s so pitiful..."
Kangxi knew that he had misunderstood, so he snorted coldly: "What if I insist on having my own way?"
Brother Jiu stretched out his hand and said: "I can't do anything, I just feel uncomfortable. It's not just my son, but also the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, the fourteenth brother, the eighth brother and the tenth brother."
Three, it’s strange that I feel so good.”
Kangxi listened and could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
He knew that Brother Jiu was telling the truth, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
As my sons grow older, they have their own thoughts.
As an emperor, he defeated his ministers and weakened the clan, but was he beginning to be restricted by the prince?
He felt depressed, and looked annoyed at his ninth elder brother.
However, he also knew that repairing the palace would indeed send signals to the harem and the former court, triggering various speculations.
"Jingren Palace is the residence of two generations of empresses. I plan to renovate it to worship Empress Xiaokang as a tribute to the Queen..."
Kangxi said calmly: "After the renovation of Yongshou Palace is completed, Concubine Tong will move to Yongshou Palace; after the renovation of Changchun Palace is completed, the Wei concubines will move to the main hall of Changchun Palace, and the Guarjia family will move to the back hall of Changchun Palace..."
Brother Jiu was relieved after hearing this.
Kangxi frowned and said, "Okay, get out!"
The ninth elder brother was sarcastic.
Not fear, but regret.
It seems that I am too protective of my mother and not considerate of old Ama.
He hurriedly explained: "Khan Ama, my son was not partial to the empress just now, but he thought that it would be a favor for a noble man to be a concubine. If he is a concubine, it will inevitably attract people's attention. If he is a concubine, it will shock the government and the public. I am afraid it will harm Khan.
