The "Book of Changes" mentions "news with the times".
For today's officials and ordinary people, it is "internal and external news."
This "inside and outside" refers to both inside and outside the palace.
Within a few days, the news that Jiufu Jinfu was pregnant with twins became old news. Now everyone is concerned about the prince's eastward tour and the princess's visit to the mausoleum.
But it was nothing new, and big news broke out again just two days ago.
The list of cabinet ministers is down!
Ma Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu, is a bachelor of Wuyingdian University and is still in charge of the affairs of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu.
Fulun, the Minister of Rites, was a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Xiong Cilu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was a bachelor of Dongge University.
Zhang Ying, the Minister of Rites, is a bachelor of Wenhua Palace.
You must know that the order of imperial bachelors is different from the order of palaces.
A scholar from Manchu University is a first-grade scholar, while a bachelor from Han University is a second-grade scholar.
Moreover, there is a stipulated rule that Manchen is the foreman.
Previously, the foreman, the bachelor, was Ethan Ah.
At the beginning of the year, Ethan passed away, and it was Alan Tai who stepped in.
By the time Alan died, the foreman, the bachelor, was already vacant.
The congratulatory gifts from the Ninth Prince's Mansion have been prepared long ago.
Brother Jiu came back and followed Shu Shu: "I thought before that the teacher was young and would not be as senior as those old men, but I really thought wrong. Khan Ama wants people to work, not to appoint people to the cabinet.
Only a young person like the teacher can withstand the orders of Khan Ama..."
With Ma Qi's status, gold and silver are nothing.
The gifts Shu Shu prepared were based on his heart.
A set of soapstone seal materials, a box of Shoushan stone seal materials, an ivory paperweight, and a mink end cap.
This is what Brother Jiu found out about Fuqing. Ma Qi has no other hobbies. He is good at calligraphy and loves seals. He especially likes to carve by himself.
So they bought a box of Shoushan stones from outside and made four gifts.
Fu Qing is Ma Qi's third son.
Because Ma Qi's second son died in infancy, apart from Fulton, the eldest son, Fu Qing was the older one. He was already married and had been idle before, so he did not fill the flag vacancy.
When Jiu Age opened his mansion, there were ten vacancies for guards. Two were reported at that time, one was a second-class guard from Heishan, and the other was a third-class guard from Fuqing. The other positions were still vacant.
Although Heishan was born in a household, he had already achieved military success, so it was natural for him to become a fourth-rank imperial guard.
Fu Qing was born in white, so he directly replaced the third-class bodyguard from the fifth rank, and he got a future.
This was something he mentioned to Ma Qi when he became a disciple, and Ma Qi accepted his kindness.
After he privately asked Ma Qi about the candidate, he recommended Fu Qing in order of seniority.
As for Zhang Ying, it was also a four-color ceremony.
It’s just that Brother Ninth Brother and Zhang Ying have no personal relationship, and it’s just for Zhang Tingzhan’s sake during the ceremony, so the gifts are relatively ordinary, an antique incense burner, an ancient painting, and the rest are four pieces of satin and two rolls of mink fur.
Shu Shu had only met Ma Qi, but had never interacted with him.
However, I know this person's experience. It seems that joining the cabinet is the peak, but in fact it is just the beginning, and there are still more than forty years of glory.
From a second-class family, the Fucha family directly overtook the Hesheli, Niu Hulu, Tong family and other relatives to become a first-class family, starting from Ma Qi's entry into the cabinet.
Veterans of three dynasties, veterans who started well and ended well, became the "Ba Ye Party" just for the sake of their own support and distribution to the Eighth Prince?
The quality of this "Eight Masters Party" is not only impure, but also suspected of infernal affairs.
Whether he was driven by the emperor, or whether he was carrying water between father and son in the Tian family, no one can say.
Just seeing that neither Kangxi nor Yongzheng dealt with Ma Qi, but instead treated Ma Qi with great respect, I knew there was some unknown inside story.
I just hope that my master will learn from this teacher and become smarter, and that he can start well and end well...
When the gifts were delivered to Ma Qi's residence, Ma Qi was quite satisfied when he saw the gift list from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Before joining the cabinet, not many people cared about his teacher-student relationship with Brother Jiu; after joining the cabinet, this relationship became more of an eyesore.
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince has not entered the court now, and the East Palace is stable. His eldest son Fulton serves as a staff member in the East Palace, otherwise it would be easy to attract criticism.
Now this relationship is just right, close but not close...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, main room.
Shu Shu was meeting a guest, and it was Le Fengming who came to say hello to Brother Jiu.
Le Jia has been a doctor for generations, and Le Fengming also has a good reputation in medicine.
It's just that compared with those who have senior qualifications in Taiyuan Hospital, Le Fengming is a little behind, and he is young, so even if he joins Taiyuan Hospital, he will still be a fill-in.
But his youth is relative.
Compared with the old doctors, he is young, and compared with Shu Shu and Brother Jiu, he is not young at all.
Shu Shu was quite curious about him, so she asked Brother Jiu to meet him.
Today Le Fengming came over, and Brother Jiu took him to the main courtyard.
Le Fengming took Shu Shu's pulse, and his explanation was similar to that of Imperial Physician Jiang.
Shu Shu remembered something and said, "The woman Qiqi has a weak Ren pulse, a weak Taichong pulse, and a weak Tian Gui. How should we treat her condition?"
Le Fengming stroked his beard to control himself and not lose his composure.
It is said that the rules of the Eight Banners are different from those of the Han family. Is this where it should be?
This Jiufu Jin is as young as a flower, and he is not shy when talking about "Tiangui".
He glanced at Ninth Elder Brother and saw that Ninth Elder Brother was also used to it.
Maybe he is so rare.
He considered it and said: "As a woman ages, her kidney qi declines. To promote excess fire and deficient fire, she should soothe the liver and regulate qi, nourish yin and nourish the kidneys, and calm the mind. To prepare the prescription, Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Xiaoyao Pills can be used..."
Shu Shu listened carefully and said, "Can it be a special person who specializes in medicine?"
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes one person and one person.
Le Fengming muttered: "That's not necessary. If there are no other symptoms, just take the usual prescription."
After hearing this, Shu Shu nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Le Limu to help prepare a few boxes of medicine."
For now, just Mrs. Bo’s share will be enough.
Other elders can wait a few more years.
Le Fengming responded respectfully.
Brother Jiu thought about Shu Shu's recent meals and felt a little distressed.
I am afraid that I will gain weight and have trouble giving birth to a child, so I don’t dare to eat well.
He asked Le Fengming: "Is there any patent medicine that can help digestion? If you eat too much, you won't have to worry about food accumulation or gaining weight?"
Le Fengming felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and said: "There are actually two prescriptions that can strengthen the stomach and digestion, but they should not be used by pregnant women. If Fujin wants to regulate his stomach, he must take them after delivery."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu immediately said: "Is there no prescription that can be used now? It would be better if the medicine has a more soothing effect..."
Le Fengming shook his head and said: "The medicine is three-part poisonous. Fujin's current situation makes it inappropriate to randomly test the medicine."
Of course, Shu Shu knew why Brother Jiu asked this, so he smiled and comforted: "Master, it's okay, it's just because of internal dryness. I don't want to eat big fish and meat recently. There are more and more dishes coming out of the greenhouse, and it's suitable to eat."
Heart."
Brother Jiu didn't say anything else, but he planned to order someone to get a cow.
Fujin eats less other kinds of meat, so beef has no taboos and can be kept on hand. Now it can also be frozen...
*
Within two days, there were several more beef thighs in the warehouse of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Before Brother Ninth's bargain arrived, Dutong Mansion sent four cow legs first.
Jueluo came over personally and taught Shu Shu a lesson: "There is still half a year left, and you can't always be a vegetarian. You prepare the eggs yourself, I won't buy them for you. I have prepared enough beef. If you don't violate the taboo, you are sending people away from the mouth."
I bought several cows in total and raised the others on the farm."
After hearing this, Shu Shu was moved, took Jueluo Shi's arm and said coquettishly, "Let Enie and Amma worry about it, I will eat it well."
Jue Luo Shi rolled his eyes at her and hummed: "You will know when you become an nirvana. If you worry about it, it will be a debt!"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's still a blessing. I am also a blessing to Enie and Amma. Who has such a filial, sensible and lovely girl like me!"
Jue Luoshi couldn't help but pinch her face, looked at Mrs. Bo, and said in surprise: "Is this really the girl I gave birth to? Why are you so shameless?"
Mrs. Bo laughed and said: "Maybe it's because 'the one who is close to vermilion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black'..."
Earlier, I saw that Brother Jiu was a person with no scheming and an innocent temperament. If you get to know him more, you will find that it is not just that.
Sometimes it makes people laugh or cry. He is a tough kid...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Brother Ninth received the oral order and came from the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see him.
"The eldest princess has been out of the capital for nearly ten days. I also plan to go to visit the mausoleum. I will go down and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send orders to the palace along the way to prepare for this..."
Kangxi ordered.
Brother Jiu bowed and responded.
Seeing his serious look, he seemed to be much calmer all of a sudden, which made Kangxi sigh a lot.
It's different now that I'm an Ama, as if she's much less childish.
only……
Is it too much?
Shenchu goes home from the Yamen every day!
There is a suspicion of forgetting public opinion!
Kangxi cursed and joked: "I have been detained in the capital for half a year. This time, come with me to visit the mausoleum!"
He thought that Brother Ninth Brother would resign, but he didn't expect that Brother Ninth Brother's expression remained unchanged and he agreed.
"Well, son Sheyhan Amma grace!"
Kangxi glanced at him curiously and said, "Aren't you worried about you, Fujin? You don't stay in the Yamen for less than a day every day, so why are you not afraid of going out of Beijing?"
The imperial mausoleum is not far from the capital, but the round trip takes ten and a half days.
Brother Jiu looked at Kangxi and said: "There is Imperial Physician Jiang on duty in the mansion, and Duoluo Gege is accompanying him. There is also Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law beside him. There is nothing to worry about. My son returns early these days, also because
I have finished all the errands at hand, and there is no point in staying in the Yamen, so I went home to study with my little brother..."
Kangxi was a little confused when he heard this: "Study to my little brother? Whose little brother? From Wubeile Mansion or Sibeile Mansion?"
He misunderstood.
I thought Brother Jiu had picked up a nephew from a certain family for a good omen.
The ninth elder brother said with a bit of embarrassment: "My son is studying for the little elder brother in Fujin's belly. My son's homework was ordinary when he was a child, so I thought that the stupid bird will fly first. The little elder brother will teach him early so that he won't be too far behind his nephews in the future...
…”
Kangxi: "..."
This is incredibly early!
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu with disgust and said, "Is your homework ordinary? You don't care enough to learn from those eccentric people. Why don't you think you are stupid?"
