Chapter 612: Asking for a monthly marriage ticket)
It's hot in summer, so the doors and windows are open.
Kangxi also vaguely heard the movement at the door, but he didn't hear it clearly.
He was thoughtful, then looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Brother Jiu has a good relationship with Ma Qi?"
Liang Jiugong bowed and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Master Jiu is humble. I heard he's also very polite to the other two general managers."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Don't praise me too hard. That's not humility. It's just self-awareness..."
Also, he is lazy.
I will never take any errands that can be assigned to me.
I will never interfere with the errands that have been assigned.
"Pass it..."
Kangxi said.
The tenth elder brother was here, and he happened to have something to tell; if there was only the ninth elder brother, he really didn't bother to see him.
He is too impatient when things happen and is not steady at all.
As soon as Qi Xi's title came down a few days ago, Brother Jiu immediately took Fujin back to Ning.
Dong E's family hadn't even served wine to celebrate, so he went over to make some noise.
Then……
Empty handed!
Kangxi even regretted asking more questions.
I can't afford to lose this guy.
I'm not usually stingy, so why can't I be more polite?
Liang Jiugong responded and went out to call the ninth and tenth elder brothers to come in.
"Khan Ama, my son has something rare and I would like to present it to you..."
Brother Jiu personally held the small box, came in to say hello, and then presented it directly.
Kangxi looked at the brand-new box and said, "What is it made in-house?"
Brother Jiu didn't answer, but stepped forward, opened the box, revealed the tooth plaque inside, and said: "Isn't this the case when I watched the imperial grandmother touch the cards before, and I couldn't see clearly? So my son thought of a different way and got a tooth plaque.
…”
He "stole" Shu Shu's credit again.
The less trouble, the better.
Let Khan Amma decide that his own Fujin is a well-behaved prince.
He is the one who is obviously going to be criticized.
Kangxi thought that he was "dazzled" and felt quite strange. He frowned and said, "I don't do my job all day long. I just worry about eating, drinking and playing!"
The ninth elder brother pursed his lips and glanced at the tenth elder brother.
Look, it's the rhetoric that I guessed.
Brother Ten quickly gave him a look to tell him to be more honest.
Brother Jiu lowered his head and admitted his mistake honestly: "Isn't it a long summer? The imperial grandmother has nothing to do, and our empress, this thing is just right for the female family members to pass the time."
"snort!"
Kangxi still looked at him with displeasure and said: "He still doesn't read enough, doesn't think about people's livelihood matters, and is just naive..."
Brother Jiu was holding his breath and wanted to reply.
Why are you so naughty?!
I have been sitting in the office all day, and have I ever been delayed in doing errands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs?!
Seeing his unconvinced look, Kangxi said: "I'm not right? When you were studying, you were fooling around all day long and didn't talk about other things. How much of "Zhou Rites" do you remember?"
Brother Jiu blinked and said, "Why do you think of asking this? My son learned it when he was ten years old. He is already ten years younger. Who still remembers that?"
Kangxi frowned and said: "I don't even remember the basic scriptures. I went to school for more than ten years and learned everything like a dog?"
Brother Ninth was furious and cursed endlessly.
Can't you just say a few words of praise?
He spends all day finding faults, and except for his precious prince and his precious eldest son, no one else likes him!
By the way, there is also the third child, who looks good too!
Not only is the mind biased, but the eyesight is also not very good!
"I think you should go back to the study and study for a few more years, and re-read the knowledge that you have fooled before?"
Kangxi said calmly.
Brother Jiu's expression changed drastically, and he prayed quickly: "Khan Ama, please say goodbye. My son is already seventeen, and he is already eighteen. If he goes back to study with his younger brothers, what will happen?"
Kangxi glanced at him and said: "What should I do with this book? If you don't read, you are disrespectful. You just fooled too much back then, and now the rules are loosened..."
Brother Jiu felt aggrieved and said: "My son is also reading books now, but he is not reading these scriptures. Not to mention other places, even in the prince's palace, my son has tidied up a courtyard and plans to collect books..."
"Can't you read serious books?" Kangxi asked.
With the threat of going back to the study, Brother Ninth stopped holding back and nodded: "Yes, that's great. Later, my son will ask Lao Shisan to borrow a copy of "Zhou Li" and read it from beginning to end...
"
Seeing that Kangxi's face seemed to be in disbelief, he hurriedly said: "Look back, Ama is ready to test your son. Isn't it just an endorsement? It's not like I haven't memorized it since I was a child?"
Kangxi remained noncommittal.
Brother Jiu said helplessly: "Khan Ama, your son has already married a wife, so don't take it back to the study to scare your son. If that's the case, it would be too shabby!"
Kangxi snorted softly and said: "How conscious are you when you read a book by yourself?"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Yes, I am determined to have it. When the time comes, my son will copy "Zhou Rites" a hundred times, read it a hundred times, and remember it firmly in his heart so that he will not forget it..."
"Not only "Zhou Rites", but also "Etiquette" and "Book of Rites"..."
Kangxi said.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu was very upset.
He really wanted to ask, did his son embarrass the royal family in any way?
One "Zhou Rites" is not enough, why should "three Rites" be arranged?
But listening to the voice, he also knew that this was not a discussion with him.
This is an oral message.
"Yes, my son obeys the decree..."
Brother Jiu lowered his head and said in a dull voice.
Kangxi raised his lips and said, "I will point you to another teacher!"
Huh?
Brother Jiu raised his head.
Hello, teacher. If Khan Amma really thinks of doing some homework one day in the future, she will say that the teacher didn’t cover that point, or that the teacher said something else.
This year is the year of the provincial examination, and next spring will be held.
Now that the Hanlin Academy's Shujishi will be disbanded next year, are they referring to individuals?
He just happens to have no one to help him!
If you have a teacher, you will be responsible for filling up the collection of books in the Prince's Mansion.
Brother Jiu's eyes were bright, and he spoke with gratitude, saying: "Khan Ama is kind, this is because he feels sorry for his son. My son must study hard and understand all the principles!"
Seeing that he knew what was going on, Kangxi felt slightly satisfied and nodded: "That's good, there's no need for anyone else, just Ma Qi!"
Brother Jiu's eyes widened and he was surprised, and said: "Is it such a coincidence that he has the same name as Master Maqima?"
It is common for Manchu people to have names that collide with each other, but it is not unusual.
What's strange is that he came from the Hanlin Academy, and he is also a talented person. I have never heard of it before, so I guess his background is not too high.
But this is not quite right. After all, he is the prince's teacher, and Khan Amma should also be picky about his origin.
For example, Thirteenth Brother's prince division is the Tong family.
Brother Ninth is a little confused.
The tenth brother was a bystander, and now he has reacted.
This is because Khan Amma can't stand Ninth Brother's looseness and wants to constrain him to learn the rules again.
He also pointed out a person that Ninth Brother needs to respect.
Ma Qi should be Ma Qi, there is no second one.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said nothing.
The ninth elder brother said in disbelief: "Is this really Lord Maqima?"
Kangxi nodded and said: "I see that you are familiar with each other, so I thought it would be a good idea to become a teacher and student."
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "Isn't he overqualified and overqualified? This 'killing a chicken with a bull's knife', Mr. Ma is a close confidant of Khan Amma, and he has many errands. How can he have time to watch his son studying..."
Ma Qi's current status is one of the best among the officials of the Eight Banners. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Minister of the Lifan Academy, and the General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition, he will soon join the cabinet as a bachelor.
Brother Jiu doesn’t want this teacher.
Kangxi was a little surprised and said: "Aren't you very familiar with Ma Qi? Why do you still dislike him?"
Brother Jiu didn't want to lie and told the truth, "It's not because I dislike it... My son doesn't want to make the relationship so complicated. Mr. Ma is now Bage's father-in-law and also Bage's subordinate..."
Kangxi was slightly startled, he didn't expect Brother Jiu to say this.
Brother Jiu's face was full of sincerity and he said: "How about you think about it again? I am an old man who teaches his son to read and is an official in the Eight Banners. You can arrange one for your son without any delay."
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and was speechless.
Everyone knows that Ma Qi wants to pay homage to the prime minister.
Is it bad to have multiple bachelors as teachers?
He is still his confidant.
Although Kangxi was not very happy with his sons being friendly with ministers, he was disgusted by the fact that Jiu Age was so clueless.
"Okay, just Ma Qi, that's the prince's division that I pointed out to you, it's not your turn to be picky!"
After saying that, Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Kneel down, brother ten will stay!"
Brother Jiu's face was troubled and he still wanted to speak.
Brother 10 pushed him and whispered: "Brother Ninth just happened to go to see how Sister Ninth Sister and the others are doing. There is no compound wall over there, and the patrols of the guards need to be stepped up..."
Brother Jiu reluctantly went out.
Kangxi glanced at the tenth prince and said: "The Bahrain Taifu Jin has been promoted to Zhezi..."
Brother Ten's heart sank and he didn't rush to speak.
Bahrain Taifujin, the mother-in-law of Princess Heshuo Rongxian, and my aunt who competed with the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty for the throne.
What could she write?
It's so shameless that you spent all your money just to marry your youngest son a wife with a rich dowry?
The tenth prince felt angry in his heart.
Kangxi continued: "She mentioned the family affairs of the Niu Hulu family and wanted to marry Yan Zhu's daughter for her youngest son..."
The tenth brother had already expected it and was not surprised. He just said truthfully: "Khan Ama, Niu Hulu Gege has already told me that the ninth brother's cousin Fusong has invited Beizi Sunu to be the matchmaker..."
"Last year, Taifu Jin wrote to Uncle Yin De, mentioning the marriage. My uncle asked Niu Hulu Gege, and Niu Hulu Gege thought that his younger brother was not yet a man and did not want to marry far away..."
"Uncle Yin De just mentioned this matter to his son, and his son helped to match up, and he fell in love with Brother Fusong..."
"Tenth elder brother, the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia is a national policy!" Kangxi said calmly.
The tenth prince raised his head and said: "Khan Ama, Niu Hulu Gege is not the eldest daughter!"
If she is a clan daughter and is supported by the royal family, she has the responsibilities of a clan daughter.
What responsibilities does a noble daughter have?
Just because her existence reminds people of the scandals between the Niu Hulu family and the Tong family, should she be married off?
Kangxi looked at the tenth elder brother and said with disapproval: "This is a state matter and a family matter of the Niu Hulu family. You should not interfere in this matter!"
It was not necessary to maintain the media and draw fibers before.
You should consider the overall situation rather than thinking about small favors.
"Khan Ama..."
There was a prayer on the face of the tenth elder brother: "If uncle Yanzhu's behavior is bad and his aunt's morality is bad, then the son will definitely not talk too much. It is only natural that the debts owed by parents should fall on their children, but you are so discerning.
Ju, I also know that this is not the case. Nowadays, the evildoers are fine and the innocent people are ruined. Do they still want their blood to wither? Niu Hulu Gege also has the blood of Taizu; Brother Fusong is a descendant of Xianzu, and his origin
