373,

The old man narrowed his eyes, ran his fingers along the sleeves, thought for a while, and then smiled slowly, "The girl from Niu Hulu's Hongyi family... Well, she is quite good."

Brother Fifteen also laughed.

Isn't that good? If not, can Khan Ama give it to Sixth Brother, Xiao Qi, himself, Mian Si, Mian Qing and other nephews to all choose girls from the Hongyi family of the Niu Hulu clan?

——Although Khan Amma himself did not like Concubine Shun and Concubine Cheng, two girls from the Hongyi family of the Niu Hulu family, a little bit less favorably.

But it's no wonder, because the two empresses met Zhuyu in front of them, and Khan Amma's heart had already been focused on others.

Emperor Qianlong didn't care what his son was laughing at. Zi Gu Longzhong hummed old-fashionedly and said, "I just remembered that this year, Niu Hulu's Hongyi family really has a few good girls who are old enough to apply for election. There are some.

One is the biological niece of his seventeen-year-old daughter-in-law."

"She's one year older than Mian Ning. She's about the same age and can let Mian Ning go. I think it's good."

Brother Fifteen raised his head excitedly.

Lord Qianlong smiled and nodded, "Your daughter-in-law is also your sister-in-law's biological niece. This is the best way to get closer!"

The fifteenth elder brother's dark eyes turned leisurely, and then he nodded with a smile, "Since she is the biological niece of the seventeenth brother and sister, if Ruohan Ama looks good, then there is no choice."

Lord Qianlong nodded, "...Although Mianning has reached his senior year this year, he is not busy. His marriage can be postponed for another two years."

When Lord Qianlong said these words, others could not understand his inner meaning, but the fifteenth elder brother understood it.

Because next year will be the throne passing ceremony, Mianning is his only son at this time, and his identity and status will suddenly be different. Khan Amma wanted to leave the great joy of marrying his son to him.

After all, this finger-marriage might be the way to establish the future queen of the Qing Dynasty.

The fifteenth elder brother smiled and nodded, "Wouldn't it mean that we would miss the good girl from the seventeenth brother and sister's family?"

After all, that girl is one year older than Mian Ning. She is already fifteen years old this year, and she cannot afford to waste her time.

Lord Qianlong snorted, "What's the rush? Let's not assign the assignment for now, and let's write down the name first. I left a sign and asked her to stay with her parents at home. I think she is willing to come."

The fifteenth elder brother then responded with a smile.

He understood in his heart that, even if he named the person but did not assign the marriage, there was another key point in this sect: before the emperor formally designated the marriage, even the direct descendant Fujin did not need to be informed.

After Emperor Qianlong said this, he was not sure to say more and just took a look at Ruyi.

Ruyi understood so well that she turned around and went out to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to send a message. She just wanted to leave a sign for this girl first.

Emperor Qianlong pressed down this end, then sighed and handed the memorial to the imperial police sent by the officials to his fifteenth elder brother.

The fifteenth elder brother couldn't say anything else, so he naturally said: "These military ministers and bachelors are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they are the trusted people of Khan Ama. They all handle their errands well, and they are of great benefit to the country."

The merits can be discussed."

"Yisuxu" refers to rewards for officials with excellent performance in inspections, such as reporting to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for review, petitioning for promotion, and records.

The fifteenth elder brother answered naturally, because Emperor Qianlong had given such treatment to these ministers over the years.

Also because these ministers are personally selected, cultivated and trusted by the father, even if the new king succeeds to the throne, he must treat them with courtesy - this is not only respect for the old ministers, but also for the Supreme Emperor.

of respect.

Even if the new king is dissatisfied with the old minister, he must be patient.

And that kind of patience is not just a year and a half, it may even take three to five years, or even like Emperor Qianlong, who endured being an old minister for ten years.

.

"The job was done well? Who said that?" Lord Qianlong suddenly snorted and said coldly.

Brother Fifteen was heartbroken and suddenly raised his eyes.

However, Lord Qianlong seemed not to notice. He kept drooping his old eyes and continued to hum, "Agui, Heshen, Wang Jie, Fu Chang'an, and Dong Gao are walking around the military aircraft. Some of the recent edicts cannot be fulfilled, and some

There are many errors in the writing event rate.”

This gave the five military ministers in Beijing a "no" at once.

Emperor Qianlong was not done yet, so he continued: "The other ministers of the ministries and agencies have not made any efforts to encourage them, and some of them have been convicted before, and they are the ones who I have given mercy to. These people were originally guilty, how can they still talk about it?"

Emperor Qianlong then treated all the officials of the third rank and above in the six ministries, just like he treated the military ministers, and gave them a "no".

The fifteenth brother was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only bow his head and listen quietly.

Emperor Qianlong said again: "Kang will inspect the capital once every three years. If there are ministers who are diligent in their service, they will be screened out. It is because of my special kindness. And the ministers should be diligent and conscientious in their duties. This is their duty. Even if there is no discussion,

Xu, they should also stick to their duties and work hard."

"If you follow the same rules every time and treat them as normal, it will not be enough to reward you, but it will also not be the way to evaluate your performance over three years."

Lord Qianlong paused for a moment, turned his eyes quietly, and stared at his son who was lying on the ground.

"...This time, all military ministers and officials of third rank or above in Beijing do not need to discuss it."

Brother Fifteen gently lowered his eyes, feeling moist under his eyes.

All the high-ranking officials in Beijing have been treated favorably by Khan Amma for many years, and they have been pampered and pampered for a long time. It is conceivable that if they are suddenly hit by such an order from Khan Amma, they will all break out in a cold sweat.

The laziness and arrogance accumulated over the years of being pampered will definitely be tempered by this.

This is naturally an excellent start for next year's throne transfer ceremony.

Moreover, if Khan Amma does not give them a meeting this year, but next year after the throne transfer ceremony, as the new king, he will naturally be lenient to the world. If he gives the ministers a meeting again, they will naturally be grateful.

Khan Amma suppressed first and then promoted, and then left the opportunity of "promoting" to the new king. This was really a good intention.

The fifteenth elder brother could only kowtow heavily, "Son... thank you Khan Amma for your great kindness."

Lord Qianlong laughed and said, "You silly boy, why are you grateful? I'm not here to discuss it for you, so what can you get?"

The fifteenth elder brother raised his eyes and stared at the imperial father quietly.

The old man has entrusted me with his country, what else does he want to do?

.

The lively selection of the Eight Banners Showgirls at the beginning of spring in February ended quietly, but it also stopped quietly.

The emperor did not propose marriage to Mian Ning!

It was quite clear when he nodded, "...The Emperor wants to have our elder brother personally marry Mian Ning after the throne transfer ceremony next year."

She is naturally happy, and her Mianning is naturally worthy of it - who made Mianning the only heir of her elder brother at this time? Whoever wants to snatch it away can't take it away, right?

Now, the only suspense left is the one in Xi Fujin's belly.

As long as Xi Fujin gives birth to a child named Gege, no one can shake her position as Mian Ning.

There is no official marriage proposal in Mianning. Because Sangege is one year older than Mianning and is already fifteen years old this year (virtual age), she has reached the age to get married. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong still recommends Sangege first.

Matched.

When the news came, relatives from all the clans came to congratulate him.

Although Liu Jia had already received the notification from his direct descendant Fujin, he felt happy to see the clan members being so solemn.

It is a pity that even though the Liu Jia family has the title of Shu Fujin, she is still an official woman. Until this time, she still has no official title and is inconvenient to show her face.

Even though this was a special happy event for Liu Jia's family, she could only stay in her room and watch the guests all go to her direct descendant Fujin to congratulate her.

The backyard of the inner house was lively, but they were all female relatives. It was inconvenient for the fifteenth brother to show up when he came back, so he went directly to the twenty-twenty side.

Since Twenty-Twenty was pregnant, the visitors didn't dare to disturb her, so this became a rare place for peace and quiet.

Nian Twenty glanced at the fifteenth elder brother, "...our eldest brother, Sangege was born to Sister Liu. The eldest brother is the eldest son, and Sangege is the de facto eldest daughter. Now he is still assigned, so he should

It’s our family’s first child’s wedding, can I give Sister Liu a good gift?”

Brother Fifteen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the gleaming light in Twenty-Twenty's eyes, "You must have an idea in your heart, aren't you a little she-wolf?"

Twenty-two sighed softly, "When Mr. Cai entered my door just now, didn't he look at Sister Liu? Fortunately, Sister Liu was the first to serve me, and she also gave birth to a baby for me.

Brother and Sangege are going to——"

"The eldest brother is my eldest son, and Sangege is now the de facto eldest daughter... Sister Liu is really hardworking and accomplished. But I don't even look at it. In such a good day, Sister Liu can only stay in the room.

Here, I didn’t even have a chance to go out and receive congratulations.”

Twenty-two pouted and stared at Brother Fifteen, "I'm so heartless... It's a shame that Sister Liu gave me all these years of her youth."

The fifteenth elder brother blushed and reached out to scratch the tip of twenty-twenty's nose, "You are embarrassing me again!"

Nian Twen continued, "Humph", "...Although Sister Liu is from a wealthy family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, her mother's family is also a well-known family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sister Liu's sisters are now also canonized Fujins in the Prince's Palace;

Brother Seventeen is also a respectable big brother."

"Such a mother's family is respectable after all. But I actually asked Sister Liu not to even have a chance to show her face..."

This statement makes perfect sense, and it makes the fifteenth brother feel a little on pins and needles.

He also knew in his heart that he was a little ashamed of the Liu Jia family, but over the years, firstly, his thoughts were not in the inner house, and secondly, these matters were all left to his direct descendant Fujin. If his direct descendant Fujin did not mention them in front of him, then others would not

If he dared to mention it, he gradually neglected it.

At this time, he was being pricked with "little needles" like 2020, and he was really embarrassed - after all, he had always had a reputation for generosity, how could he treat his most senior concubine so poorly?

Brother Fifteen coughed, stretched out his hand to wrap around Twenty-Twenty's little hand, "...I will treat her well when I come."
