The twelfth elder brother listened with reluctance on his face.
He doesn't want to see or interact with outsiders.
He looked at the third elder brother but did not respond.
Third Brother raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You don't want to go, but you still want to stay in our Yamen?"
The twelfth elder brother felt that his neck was a little sore and his wrists were a little tired recently. He lowered his eyes and said, "My brother wants to ask for leave..."
Third Brother frowned slightly, what do you mean?
Whenever I can't ask for leave, I appoint the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for leave, as if I can't tolerate my little brother.
But he still had more patience and listened to the reason why the twelfth elder brother asked for leave.
If you can make up a reasonable reason, it is not a bad idea to take a holiday, so as not to be an eyesore.
The twelfth elder brother only had this half sentence and nothing more.
The third elder brother's temples twitched, feeling a little troubled, and said: "There are no symptoms, so it's hard to ask for leave. You have to make a note of it."
Brother Twelve glanced at the ice basin in the room and said, "Heat stroke."
The third elder brother nodded and said: "I understand, then go and have a good rest. Your health is important."
The twelfth elder brother nodded and bent down to pack his things.
Unlike the ninth elder brother who brought bits and pieces with him when he left in the morning, there is a one-foot-square box under the desk of the twelfth elder brother.
He put the inkstone, pen washer, and pen holder on the table without leaving half a piece of paper. Then he hugged the box and nodded to Third Brother, then turned around and went out.
The third elder brother let out a breath, he really didn’t expect the twelfth elder brother to be such a twelfth elder brother.
Is this because you are annoyed that you are trying to get a job?
So you are so disobedient?
You are so overestimating your abilities. Do you really think you care about a little brother?
When the twelfth elder brother left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he saw the fourteenth elder brother trotting over.
Seeing what was in Brother Twelve's arms, Brother Fourteen was stunned and said, "Brother Twelve's job has also been dismissed?"
Brother Twelve shook his head and said, "Heat stroke."
He has always cherished his words like gold. Brother Fourteen was not surprised. He just said: "What's going on? Okay, why is the censor impeaching Brother Ninth?"
The twelfth elder brother glanced in the direction of Qianqing Palace and couldn't figure it out.
However, Ninth Brother's changes in expression and Tenth Brother's fuss were all caught in his eyes.
There's something going on here, I just don't know what it is.
Looking at Brother Ninth's appearance, he was depressed at first, but then he stopped talking and started laughing like a mouse that had stolen honey.
Looking at Brother Ten again, his face was full of anger, but he was avoiding pedestrians in the market, and the censor's whip was loud with thunder but light with rain, and it was the clothes that were torn, not the flesh.
Based on the friendship between the tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, if he is really angry, he shouldn't be like this.
He knew that the fourteenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were on good terms, so he couldn't help but add another sentence, saying: "The third elder brother is appointed as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother fell into deep thought, and then suddenly realized, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He took a liking to the ninth brother's job and stabbed him in the back?! This is still an elder brother, why is it so damaging!"
The twelfth elder brother felt that what the fourteenth elder brother said was not entirely correct, but it should be related to it.
"Third brother is going too far. This is bullying Ninth Brother and not being knighted, right?"
"Why doesn't he dare to take other people's jobs?"
"It's simply too much. Brother Ninth treats his brothers the best, how can he guard against him?"
"Hmph! If you want to be the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, let him do it. Can he do it better than Brother Ninth?"
"If you want an errand, just tell Ninth Brother directly. What's the point of instigating the censor to impeach behind your back? Playing tricks with your younger brother?"
The two brothers walked back to their elder brother's house along the corridor. They passed many places guarded by soldiers and guards along the way, but the fourteenth elder brother had no intention of lowering his voice.
The guards and army guards who had heard the news that Brother Jiu had been enlisted as a censor, all raised their eyebrows, and finally understood the reason behind this.
No wonder those censors were so bold that they dared to attack the prince's brother directly. It turned out that they had backers.
That's right. The only one who is not afraid of the prince's elder brother is the prince's elder brother.
It wasn't until they arrived at the Fifth Ganxi Institute that Brother Fourteen stopped talking and hummed softly: "We can't give him an advantage, we have to let everyone know about his bad behavior!"
The twelfth elder brother listened silently, and for some reason he remembered the scene in which the tenth elder brother made a big fuss at the Censor's Office in the morning.
I always feel that the situation with Brother Fourteen just now is similar but similar in approach and approach.
Widely advertising……
The fourteenth elder brother harmed the third elder brother because he was dissatisfied with the ninth elder brother.
Then what is the purpose of the Tenth Prince's publicity?
Brother Twelve thinks it seems very complicated.
The two entered Qianxitou. The twelfth elder brother was about to continue walking, but the fourteenth elder brother grabbed him and said: "Twelfth elder brother, don't leave yet. Thirteenth elder brother will definitely ask you later. You know this." More clearly..."
The two brothers are three years apart, but the twelfth elder brother was born in the twelfth lunar month and the fourteenth elder brother was born in the first lunar month, so they are about the same size.
The twelfth elder brother was unprepared for a moment and was pulled into the head room by the fourteenth elder brother.
Brother Thirteen had just woken up and was eating. When he saw the two people coming, he quickly stood up.
"Brother Twelve..."
The thirteenth elder brother said respectfully.
The twelfth elder brother nodded in return.
The fourteenth elder brother was already talking about the news outside. The ninth elder brother was instructed by the third elder brother to become the censor to serve as the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the third elder brother took office.
The thirteenth elder brother was speechless for a long time, and then he said after a while: "Khan Ama agreed?"
The fourteenth elder brother was indignant and said: "That is his precious son, how can he not allow it? Poor ninth brother, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has put so much effort into it in the past few years, and just because he is younger, he will be bullied by his brothers... "
He was a kid himself, so he felt the same and became twice as angry.
The Thirteenth Brother looked at the Twelfth Brother, and saw clearly that the eunuch behind him was holding the box, and said: "Twelfth Brother, this is..."
Before the twelfth elder brother could answer, the fourteenth elder brother said from the side: "He was kicked out by the third brother. He can't tolerate the ninth brother, and he certainly can't tolerate the twelfth brother!"
The thirteenth elder brother thinks that the third elder brother will not be that stupid, but the emperor does not like his sons to have quarrels with each other.
The twelfth elder brother lowered his eyes and had no intention of explaining.
He is not stupid, so he can naturally see that the third elder brother is trying to chase him away.
Ninth Brother was asked to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ninth Brother rested for two months, so he took a rest and did not want to go to Guangzhou Division.
Brother Thirteen was very surprised and said: "Okay, why is he targeting the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sounds very prestigious, but he is a third-rank yamen, the royal steward. He also manages the detailed internal affairs of the palace and the royal private property. There is no way to compare with the ministries of the previous dynasty.
The fourteenth elder brother narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "It can't be because the land price in Xiaotangshan has doubled, right? The third brother is red-eyed, thinking that the ninth brother made money with the convenience of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he thought about the internal affairs An errand for the government?"
Everyone knows that the third elder brother is stingy and loves money.
Brother Thirteen felt that this guess was the most reliable, and frowned: "Brother Ninth must be suffocating to death..."
In the past six months, everyone has understood the business of Xiaotangshan. It was clear that Brother Ninth could handle it by himself, but he even lied to everyone, just to share the profits with his brothers.
The third elder brother followed the crowd and acted like an older brother, but unexpectedly he got pinkeye.
The thirteenth elder brother didn't say anything, he was already tired of the third elder brother.
The fourteenth elder brother was eager to give it a try and said: "Let's go see the ninth elder brother and give him some advice. Don't get angry."
Brother Thirteen glanced at Shi Chen and said, "The afternoon homework is not finished yet? Why did you come here? Did you ask for leave?"
The emperor took care of the homework in the study room. In addition to the regular examinations of civil and martial arts, he also had to read this every day.
Brother Fourteen's expression froze and he grinned: "I forgot..."
After that, he ran away.
It's not the right time now, and there are still two hours before the palace gate is closed.
Brother Thirteen plans to go out of the palace to have a look. It’s such a big thing, so it’s not good to go there.
However, he is an immature elder brother. Unless someone is guiding him, he must ask for permission from the emperor when entering or leaving the palace.
He looked at Brother Twelve and said, "Brother Twelve, let's go over and see Brother Ninth?"
The twelfth elder brother saw what the thirteenth elder brother was trying to do, but he was also very curious, so he nodded gently...

In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ninth Prince looked at Gao Yanzhong and said solemnly: "The things I asked you to inquire about before are all rotten in your heart. Don't leak even a single bit. Don't make yourself angry!"
Gao Yanzhong said sternly: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiu, I know the importance of this, and I didn't even mention it to Gao Bin."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry about anything else. Put together the accounts in Xiaotangshan. Don't be in a hurry to sell the remaining land. If someone lowers the price at this time, just write down the other party's identity and name, and then tell him
, Just say what I said, I told him to get lost..."
This is to prevent someone from seeing him "losing power" and taking advantage of him to depress land prices.
Now that we have recovered our capital early, we can all share dividends, and the rest of the land will be sold slowly.
Gao Yanzhong wrote it down carefully and thought it would be better to be on guard.
After a while, Fusong came and said: "Master Jiu, Guard Cao just moved. He didn't bring his family papers with him, so he stayed in the North First Courtyard at the back."
The twelve auxiliary courtyards at the back already account for half of them. In order to distinguish them, they are called the North Courtyard and the South Courtyard, and they are arranged in order starting from the east.
For example, the courtyard where Fu Song lives is the South No. 1 courtyard. From there, in order, you can go directly to the South No. 6 courtyard.
Those who are behind the South First Courtyard are called the North First Courtyard as soon as they enter the courtyard, and those who come after them also follow the queue and go directly to the North Sixth Courtyard.
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "Why, I didn't even celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at home, so I had to move at this time..."
Cao Shun grew up in the south of the Yangtze River with Cao Yin and his wife because he was a stepmother. He was not very close to his parents. He had already said that he would move here, but the time was not until after the Dragon Boat Festival.
When Cao Shun moved, there was a movement, and everyone in the back courtyard was inevitably alarmed.
Zhang Tingzhan is taking a bath in Japan today. He has been asked by Ninth Elder Brother to make a design for Ninth Elder Brother's hot spring resort these days.
He agreed at the time, but because he was worried about showing off his timidity, he was currently working on "Yuan Ye" at home when he had some free time.
Although he knew that someone was moving, Zhang Tingzhan did not take it seriously.
It was his wife who reminded him: "The guards of Fucha are also taking a break today. Just now, Lao Chen saw him going to the prince's mansion. Could it be that something happened in the mansion?"
Zhang Tingzhan glanced at his wife disapprovingly and said: "Dian Chen, don't keep poking your head, don't look at anything inappropriate."
Gu said unhappily: "Look what the master said, Lao Chen is the elder of the family, don't you understand these rules? The Fucha guards are passing by our door, how can you close your eyes and not look at them?"
The back entrance of the Prince's Mansion is between the First North Courtyard and the Second North Courtyard.
Zhang Tingzhan's family now lives in the North Second Courtyard.
Zhang Tingzhan knew that the Holy Emperor was returning home today. Hearing what his wife said, he felt uneasy. He nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the Prince's Mansion to have a look..."
The back door of the Prince's Mansion can directly lead to the corridor between the middle road and the east road.
Zhang Tingzhan walked through the back door, passed through the corridor, and reached the front yard.
Just as Gao Yanzhong came out, the two of them bumped into each other.
Seeing Gao Yanzhong's heavy face, Zhang Tingzhan said: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
He was a staff member of the prince's palace and one of his own, so Gao Yanzhong whispered that the ninth elder brother had to stop working because of his errand.
Zhang Tingzhan's heart trembled after hearing this.
Impeachment by the censor is nothing, and there is nothing to fear.
He knew that today would be the case when he brought in the imperial censor from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The censor is also a human being and has his own way of preservation.
The more powerful a person is, the more willing they are to impeach, and there are few consequences.
Let’s not talk about others, let’s just say that his father Zhang Ying, when he was the Minister of Rites, could do one round of impeachment in a month; when he became a bachelor, he would do three or five rounds in a month.
It's all trivial matters, it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, but the censor has a reputation of being strong and strong.
But the emperor stopped the ninth elder brother's errand...
Zhang Tingzhan thought more.
Who told the Ninth Prince's Mansion that "auspiciousness" was born, and seeing the little elder brother, little Princess also stood still, this "auspiciousness" was about to become a reality.
By that time, Jiu Age and his wife will inevitably be looked at with suspicion.
It happened that at this time, there was news from the Yuqing Palace that the Crown Princess was in poor health and that her legitimate grandson was in difficulty.
Now I suppress Lord Jiu, maybe he has a love for his son, and more importantly, he is turning the "auspiciousness" into something, so as not to embarrass the East Palace.
Thinking like this, Zhang Tingzhan no longer worried.
He is a child of Confucianism and has believed in the golden mean since he was a child. Of course he knows that the Ninth Prince's Mansion will be too conspicuous after the year...
