When the twelfth elder brother came over, the ninth elder brother still looked listless.
Seeing this, the twelfth elder brother couldn't help but worry and said: "If the ninth brother is worried about the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will start today. You'd better have a good rest."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's already fine."
As he said that, he looked at Brother Twelve carefully and said, "You look good too."
His face was rosy and his eye circles were not blue.
The twelfth elder brother said a little embarrassedly: "I have been slacking off these days. I go to bed early and get up late."
Brother Jiu said: "In the middle of winter, it's a good time to sleep."
Before the twelfth elder brother could ask the reason again, the ninth elder brother himself told the story about Gao Yanzhong, saying: "I just think it's a bit boring. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has cleaned up the worms, and a new family has been established, just like Lao Gao."
, but people are living in this world and are constantly involved in various relationships. Can I be Qingming for five or ten years, or can I be Qingming for a lifetime? I am Qingming, but what about my children and grandchildren? After thirty or fifty years, it will just be another crop of moths that need to be cleaned up."
This is not only true for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also for noble ministers.
The twelfth elder brother was a little confused and worried about what to do.
Brother Jiu said: "I just think that if they work hard, they may not succeed in the end. There seems to be no use in being motivated; but if they just eat and wait to die, day after day will be boring."
The twelfth elder brother paused and said, "Can I choose by myself? Unless I stay crouched underneath, as long as I take a step up, I will be sailing against the current. If I don't advance, I will retreat. If I choose to eat and die, it depends on the permission of others.
"
When power and interests are involved, there will be disputes.
Even if they, as princes, want to be free and at ease, it is a luxury.
Brother Jiu sighed.
At first he didn't like the emperor's father's decentralization of power, but now that he thinks about it, decentralization is actually about preservation.
Someone like Gao Yanzhong, who seems to have a bright future, is not really allowed to let him go.
Always let him hold the string tightly so that he can start well and end well.
The ninth elder brother was silent and handed the twelfth elder brother the confession from the Shenxing Division.
When he saw the nine people slaying each other, the twelfth brother was also stunned.
You should know that this year, the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment reviewed the files of death row prisoners and found out that 63 prisoners were found to be guilty of the crime. When they were submitted to the imperial court for trial, only 47 of them were convicted.
Sixteen others were remanded for retrial.
As a result, how many people have been disposed of by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year?
Including these nine people who have been beheaded and hanged, there are about twenty people this year.
The twelfth elder brother was worried that he would not tolerate it, and said: "Khan Ama's dignity cannot be violated, and these people should be punished for their crimes!"
Brother Jiu said: "I don't feel any pity at all. I just think about those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who love to work hard. They will work hard until the end, and their descendants will not end well. I don't know if I regret it or not!"
Brother Twelve said unexpectedly: "I thought Brother Ninth would be concerned about Neng Ji not having much money!"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Are you looking down on others? What's the point of worrying about such a petty quarrel? It's not like he's a wealthy family!"
At this moment, someone answered at the door and said, "What happened to the noble family?"
It turned out that the fifth elder brother heard that the ninth elder brother was coming to the Yamen today and came to visit. When the third elder brother saw this, he also came over.
The ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother got up while they were sitting and talking.
The twelfth elder brother has already buckled the discount.
When the two brothers sat down, Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and said, "This is not a busy time, so why do you two brothers have time to come here?"
The third elder brother was holding a tea cup and drinking osmanthus black tea. He pointed at the fifth elder brother and said, "I was planning to come at noon. Isn't it because I am in a hurry?"
The ninth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "It's such a cold day. If you don't take care of yourself at home, why go out and cause trouble?"
Brother Jiu said: "Isn't it that I haven't been thinking about the seal for a long time? It's boring to be bored."
Seeing that he was in good spirits, the fifth elder brother said nothing more.
The third elder brother said enthusiastically: "What's going on with the Guangchusi case? Why is there anything related to the Li family in it?"
Both elder brothers had followed the southern tour and were stationed at Zhizao Mansion in Suzhou with the Holy Spirit, so they were quite familiar with Li Xu.
That one was well-connected and was not flattering in front of the prince, making him feel like a spring breeze.
Brother Ninth told the truth about Li Xu's concubine being the treasurer.
The fifth elder brother didn't seem to care much, but the third elder brother listened and touched his chin and said: "It seems that there is no harm in this person being stupid. Li Xu's two younger brothers are both stupid people, and they are involved in such a fatal lawsuit.
I also escaped, I’m really lucky..."
The fifth elder brother said: "If you are lucky, more than a dozen yamen rush to repair the problem areas? Not only did you get involved in the lawsuit once, but you will get involved in the second one?"
The third elder brother said: "It's all stupid anyway. For Li Xu's sake, Khan Ama is too lazy to care about it."
The two brothers just came over to visit, chatted for a quarter of an hour, and then returned to the south study room.
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "Do you have any of these writing styles that you can use easily? There is still a vacancy for the person who appoints the person in charge."
When you are promoted, you will be assigned the position of chief, chief, and doctor. If you are promoted like this, you can use it for many years.
Brother Twelve shook his head and said, "I haven't noticed."
Brother Jiu said: "Then let's take a good look at it for a few months, and then bring someone up."
After the brothers finished chatting, the twelfth elder brother went about his business as usual and everyone came over.
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama has a will, just deal with it according to the will..."
At this point, he remembered his previous speculation, and couldn't help but feel sick, and said: "As for the entry and exit of Feng Si Jin Cha, the eunuch was responsible. Did he also arrest some people?"
Du Tu was also speechless and said: "The first offender will be killed with a stick, and the followers will be sent to sweep the back hall of Jingshan."
There are inspection rules for the entry and exit of golden cars, but everyone finds it disgusting and the inspection process is in name only, and omissions occur.
Within three to five years, no one will slack off anymore.
By the afternoon, all the yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew that the Guangchusi case had been closed.
People are confused!
Not scared, but happy!
More than 40 vacancies suddenly appeared!
You must know that the shortage in the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not mean that you will lose an official position. Every three years, the better the job, the heavier the person in charge will be. There are many people who have not moved for ten or twenty years.
The people who had some connections in our yamen all came here in the afternoon.
Here in Gao Yanzhong, I am aware of the weather these days.
But after being scolded today, Gao Yanzhong calmed down and didn't say another word or take one more step.
He could see that it was good for Brother Jiu to treat his own people well, but the prince was still the prince, and if he was displeased, then the status of his own people would not remain unchanged.
Outsiders think that he is responsible for the preservation of the Zhong family, but this is actually a misunderstanding.
If he drifts off by himself, he won't be able to get far.
Therefore, for the vacancies in the Guangzhou Reserve Division, Gao Yanzhong took the lead and wrote in the form of a list of qualified candidates. In addition to writing resumes and doing official business, he also made notes about family relationships and the like.
As for those who wanted to exploit the Gao family, Gao Yanzhong didn't care whether they offended others or not. He didn't see those who could avoid them, and he bluntly said that he was unable to show favoritism to those who couldn't avoid them.
Neither the Ninth Elder Brother nor the Twelfth Elder Brother intervened in the selection. If he, a doctor, intervenes, is he seeking death?
These people who are qualified to be candidates are scratching their heads and have no way to worship Buddha.
As for giving gifts to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion?
Who dares!
There are examples of kings and virtues out there!
If you give too much, it will be evidence of corruption, if you give too little, it will be contemptuous, and both will end well!
Where is the twelfth elder brother?
No one dared to touch me even if I lived in my elder brother's house.
After going back and forth, I finally understood these wrappings.
No more official duties!
In terms of qualifications and ability, whoever is eligible will be the candidate!
Is this considered to be a clear-cut officialdom of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Suddenly, when everyone talked about Brother Ninth, they felt very complicated. They didn’t know whether to praise or scold...

Shichahai, Li Zhai.
Li Can washed away his dusty body and was listening to the steward in Beijing talking about the recent news, mainly talking about the Guangchu Division case.
Li Xu had previously submitted a request to return to Beijing early next year to congratulate Kangxi on his birthday, and Kangxi agreed.
Li Can came back early and was on the front foot. In addition to various New Year gifts from the capital, he also brought several maids to the capital.
The beauties from Suzhou were favored by the nobles, and the princes and dignitaries in the capital also paid attention to the beauties from the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Xu was also very popular and had many connections in the capital. Many salt merchants and merchants gave gifts, especially to girls.
If these girls are successful, they will become relatives or adopted daughters of the Li family and be assigned household registration; if they are ordinary, they will be members of the household.
He is also nominally the cousin of Wang Guiren, and the uncle of the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers. With this additional relationship, it is difficult for others to regard him as an ordinary man.
"The fifth master has only been filling the vacancy for less than a year, and his involvement is not deep. However, the Sentence Department is not kind. As soon as the charge of dismissal from office was announced, the fifth master was subsequently released from the Sentence Division and was covered with sacks on the same day.
, I was beaten so hard that Mr. Wu was so frightened that he went back to Tongzhou the next day..."
The Li family has a Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, which was the resting place of Li Xu's father after he became an official. There are many servants of the Li family there, and today the wife of the Li family is also raised there.
Li Can couldn't help but frown as he listened.
"The Zhong family is safe, but they also lost their leader..."
"There are many vacancies in the Guangzhou Division. The old lady wanted to spend money to find someone to retaliate for the third master. But the third master found out about it and was annoyed and refused to fill it..."
The third master is Li Can's brother. He was dismissed from his position as a member of the Accounting Department in May last year.
After being frightened for a while, he also gave up on being a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Li Can thought of the maids in the inner chamber and said, "Is there any news coming out of the inner chamber of the Prince's Mansion? How many female relatives are there in the Ninth Prince's inner chamber?"
The steward shook his head and said: "I've never heard anyone mention the affairs of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. When talking about the Prince's Mansion outside, they always talk about a few ceremonies..."
Li Can pondered: "What about Jiu Fujin? What do the outsiders say?"
The steward said: "It is said that she is one of the Queen Mother's favorite grandson-in-laws. She often receives rewards from the palace and is close to other princes."
Li Can breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
This is good, and the elder brother’s idea of giving it away won’t work.
The ninth elder brother is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is right under the emperor's nose. Unless the eldest brother goes through the imperial court, it is easy to be thankless if he gives the beauty in private.
Although Li Xu did not specify who these people were sent to, but Ninth Age was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Can guessed that the most likely person was Ninth Age.
Before Li Can left Suzhou, he once advised his brother.
But Li Xu didn't listen, and still asked him to bring four people into the capital. Now they are placed in this courtyard and asked to be taught the rules by their grandma.
But the fourth maid is old, and looking at it like this, she will have to teach her for a year and a half before looking at her again.
I asked Li Can to say that even if I want to give away beauty, I should choose someone.
It's hard to say that the older ones are good at this. The young prince has a wife and concubines at home. Who would want someone from outside...
