In the west room, the ninth elder brother raised his chin, looked at the younger elders and said, "You are doing everything with a droopy face? Think about it, you will have a place to go when you leave the palace, won't you be happy?"
"
The second and third houses are all packing their luggage.
Especially the second one, it didn’t stop all afternoon.
When the little brothers got out of school, they all got the news immediately.
The fourteenth elder brother happened to be back with the thirteenth elder brother, so he knew what was going on.
Everyone is reluctant to part with it.
The twelfth elder brother was silent.
Brother Thirteen also still had a droopy face.
Brother Fourteen complained directly: "Brother Ninth, but we are in the study room and we only have a few days off a year..."
Brother Ninth pointed at Brother Fourteen and said, "Weren't you very happy to separate from Thirteen before? When we moved, didn't we also make room for you?"
Brother Fourteen's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and said: "But there is no difference between Brother Thirteen's Prince's Dining Room and my younger brother's!"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "I saw it, and it was just for food."
He ignored the fourteenth elder brother, looked at the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother and said: "Twelve will go out to study next year, and thirteen will be the year after that, soon..."
The thirteenth elder brother glanced at the twelfth elder brother and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he asked: "There is no access control when you come out of the upper study room?"
Brother Jiu said: "Isn't that nonsense? When the time comes for the six tribes to walk, they can't do it without leaving the palace. As for whether they go to the Yamen after leaving the palace, or wander around in Sijiu City, who cares..."
The Thirteenth Brother said with some expectation: "Then the prince's mansion of me and the Twelfth Brother can also be next to the Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother's mansion?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. There is only so much open space in Beiguanfang. There are four prince mansions built in a row. Where is there any open space?"
Although the Fourteenth Brother was only twelve years old, he couldn't help but become interested when he heard it, and said: "Ninth Brother, where will our mansion be in the future?"
Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "Either like the fifth brother and the seventh brother, stay in the banner; or like the eldest brother and the third brother, renovate the idle mansions in other banners; or just like the fourth brother and us
Same, choose a place to build in the official residence of Shangsanqi..."
Brother Fourteen nodded and said: "In that case, I hope it won't be too far in the future and will end up in Beicheng."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "You are stupid. When the time comes, whether you are traveling or entering the palace, you will have to go through the Daqing Gate and go around half of the capital. If there is room in the East City or West City, it is best to stay in the East City.
Xicheng..."
Brother Fourteen was also confused when he heard this.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.
If you want to leave the palace, please wait.
In the eyes of Khan Amma, this is the real little brother.
To be honest, I and my tenth brother were also included in this group before.
After his wedding, he was fluttering, and the tenth man became more stable. He only lifted half a square, and he was not far away from the brothers above.
It will take seven or eight years to wait for this batch of people to leave the palace and divide their households. I don't know when.
At that time, the eldest brother and the others moved out of the palace for other reasons.
That is, the number of wives, concubines, and children in each family is increasing, and the elder brother's house is becoming increasingly crowded.
The situation was similar in the Yuqing Palace, so Huang Ama graciously directed the Jiefang Palace to accommodate the female dependents in the East Palace.
However, except for the four houses in Ganxi, all the other places where my brother lived were full.
There was no room for them to move.
The 13th and 14th elder brothers, who should have been admitted to the elder brother's office long ago, have been dealing with each other in Zhaoxiang Institute for several years.
Now that he and Lao Shi have moved away, there are only four little elder brothers left in this elder brother's house. Even if the sixteenth elder brother, the seventeenth elder brother, and the eighteenth elder brother arrive in a few years to move to the palace, it will be the seventh elder brother.
indivual.
It's still early to move somewhere.
Brother Jiu was in a daze when he thought of this.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother looked at each other.
The fourteenth elder brother no longer has any lingering thoughts.
Thinking about it, I know that there must be other reasons for leaving the palace in such a hurry.
I guess Brother Ninth is also in a bad mood.
Brother Thirteen said, "It's getting late. Let's see Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth off later..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's time to go to class, what should I give to you? From now on, I will go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day. If you want to find me, just go there as soon as you lift your foot. It is more convenient than coming to the second office."
Several people looked at each other and really didn't think of this.
The fourteenth elder brother immediately beamed and said: "Then when the ninth brother's house cooks something delicious, ask people to send more, and we can go get some food later!"
Seeing his heartless look, Brother Jiu also smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, I won't bear it for others, but I'm still willing to eat a few bites!"
Shu Shu was in Dongci Room. He heard the noise outside and knew that several elder brothers were leaving, so he came out to see them off.
Before anyone else could speak, Brother Jiu said, "Stay well in the house. It's windy outside. Don't blow it."
It's late autumn now, frost is coming before our eyes, and the autumn wind is bleak after sunset.
Shu Shu didn't force it, looked at the three elder brothers and said: "It's just like living in the palace. If I have anything to do with you Ninth Brother in the future, just send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The three of them lowered their hands and listened, said farewell respectfully, and left the main room.
Brother Ninth came out with the three of them, looked at Brother Twelve and said, "You will be 16 next year, is there anywhere you want to go?"
The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said: "No..."
Brother Jiu then said: "Then I'll ask Khan Ama later. If it doesn't work, come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and start learning the errand. You're not afraid of things going wrong here, and no one will dare to bully you as long as I'm here."
The twelfth elder brother did not nod and said: "Ninth brother, you don't have to worry about it, just listen to Khan Ama's instructions."
Brother Jiu said: "That's right, it is better to study in the Six Departments and Jiuqing Yamen. That is when you enter the court and you can learn things."
He feels at ease with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but that may not be the case with his brothers.
You should know that the six ministries and nine ministers are all supervised by the clan princes.
The brothers have gone to school for more than ten years, and may be more willing to join the court.
The fourteenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, when my younger brother becomes a man, if the seventh brother's current vacancy becomes available, you can help him play the drums."
Brother Ninth smiled and said: "Three Flag Guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? I will tell Brother Seven later that you are worried about his lack!"
The fourteenth elder brother hurriedly apologized and said, "Ninth brother, please don't do it. I'm afraid, but I will treat it as if I owe you something."
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Why don't you think about going to the Ministry of War?"
The fourteenth elder brother curled his lips and said: "It's more like taking the job of the eldest brother. The eldest brother is more scary than the seventh brother."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Look at your tone, it seems like you can steal it!"
The fourteenth elder brother raised his arm and waved: "It doesn't matter if the eldest brother is strong now, he is almost thirty, he is a little old man; when I am as old as him, he will be an old man!"
Brother Jiu pointed in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said: "Okay, if you have the guts, go back to Qianqing Palace and talk about it."
The fourteenth elder brother immediately covered his mouth and said: "That's different. Khan Ama is the emperor, so he is different from others!"
After a few words of bickering, the fourteenth elder brother followed the thirteenth elder brother to the first institute, and the twelfth elder brother also returned to the fifth institute.
Brother Jiu glanced at the three houses.
The Third Institute should be aware of what's going on here, but the 10th Prince didn't come over.
Compared with his wantonness, Lao Shi always thinks more.
Isn't it a good thing that brothers and sisters treat each other with respect?
Why can everyone else do it, but not the 10th Prince?
Brother Jiu frowned and turned back to the upper room.
Shu Shu was bored and was thinking about going home tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is only twenty-four. If twenty-six is really suitable for moving, then I can stay at home for two days.
Mother’s family…
She doesn't like this word.
It's obviously your own home, why did it become your mother's home?
The ninth elder brother had just said a lot. He came in and drank a bowl of tea. Then he said happily: "I just calculated the courtyard where elder brother lives and the prince in the palace. Plus I and I
There are only nine old ten, do you think you are afraid..."
After hearing this, Shu Shu was a little confused and said: "Is nine still too few? There will be nineteen elder brothers and twenty elder brothers in the future. Who knows how many we can get..."
Brother Jiu's idea was taken astray and he said: "Khan Ama has been an Ama since the sixth year of Kangxi. It has been thirty-three years since then and she has given birth to a total of twenty-eight sons and seventeen daughters. In another thirty years, maybe...
It will be doubled..."
Shu Shu smiled and listened.
In the known history, Kangxi had a total of thirty-five sons, starting with the twenty-fourth prince; there were twenty princesses, starting with the second princess, and there were nine of them.
Thirty-five, twenty...
Although Kangxi did not continue to reign for thirty years, he did last for twenty-three years.
In the next twenty-three years, only seven princes and three princesses were born.
Just from the number of heirs, it can be seen that the emperor's aging has begun.
Brother Jiu had already come to his senses and said: "What I was talking about before was about household division. If I hadn't been planning to build the prince's mansion, I'm afraid it would have happened with the next wave. Then when would we go? Even if not
Those little ones who wait until they are fifteen will be killed if they wait until fourteen, let’s say six or seven years at least..."
Shu Shu smiled and listened. There is really no historical record about the time when the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince left the palace.
If we count from the time they were ennobled, then they lived in the palace until the forty-eighth year of Kangxi?
However, some people speculate from the documents compiled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the ninth and tenth princes were established before the 43rd year of Kangxi, but they were not knighted yet.
Because at that time, a document about making warm hats for princes in the 43rd year recorded the hats of six princes: the prince, the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother.
.
If the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are still in the palace, there is no reason why they should be left behind.
As it is now, it's pretty good.
We have to get up early tomorrow, so the couple went to bed early...

Xianghuangqi, Yinde Mansion.
In the east wing of the backyard, Zhengtai sat up.
The sound of drums could be heard in the distance, it was already the fourth watch.
He tiptoed out, opened the window, and casually took off his clothes.
A gust of cold wind came.
Zhengtai trembled and hesitated.
Niu Hulu's family is a family with military exploits, and all his descendants, like other Eight Banners nobles, studied literature and martial arts.
His body is strong and strong.
He was afraid that his efforts would be in vain, so he remembered his sister's words and glanced at the washbasin in the corner.
There is a whole basin of clean water inside.
He walked over, dipped a towel in water, and wiped it on his body.
It will be different when you stand in front of the window again...
