As the couple talked, they also recalled the time when they went on tour in thirty-seven years.
It was just that I left Beijing at the end of July that year, the weather was already cool, and there was an eastward tour that time, so the distance traveled was longer.
"It's only been a few years, and I feel like I'm getting old..."
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "There were so many people at that time and it was lively. There are also a lot of people coming out this time. It's just weird..."
Shu Shu knew that he was talking about the relationship between princes.
There were quite a few princes following the tour last time, and there were some disputes among them, but in general, except for the third elder brother, everyone else was still close and friendly.
The eight princes who came out this time had subtle and complicated relationships.
The eldest prince, the prince, the fourth prince and other older princes all work alone.
Brother Ninth also has no friends here. Brother Thirteen is getting married and has to take care of Thirteen Fujin, who is going out for the first time. Brother Fourteen cannot join his young sister-in-law, so he can only follow Brother Fifteen.
Brother and brother sixteen have a fight.
However, the fifteenth elder brother talks less, and he obviously has nothing to say to the fourteenth elder brother.
The sixteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are very different in age.
The ninth elder brother was worried about the tenth elder brother and said: "If the prince doesn't stare at him when he looks back, those princelings will have to stare at him too..."
What should I do when the time comes to find fault?
It's harmless to find fault with others, but it's disgusting.
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, Lord, Prince Cheng is my elder brother, and Prince Cheng is definitely the leader of the South Study Room."
Brother Jiu's eyes rolled around, and he whispered: "Lao Shi is the same king as the third brother, but it is an advantage to the third brother. If Khan Amma lives a long life next year, he will be a favored concubine, and his position as the honorary concubine's mother will be restored.
Okay, then the third brother will take the lead..."
Shu Shu looked at Ninth Brother, the same brother, and it was clear that he was partial.
But the third elder brother was obviously short-tempered. When he was first knighted, he was very arrogant for half a year, and then withered.
Even if he was competitive, he would never dare to confront the prince in private or in person.
Brother Jiu thought of the brothers in front of him again and said: "No one is paying attention to Fourteen, let's stay away to avoid him licking his face and sticking to it..."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, as long as I stay away from it, that's fine."
As for Shu Shu, there is no need to worry.
Because the imperial concubines accompanying him include Concubine Virtue, there is no need for anyone else to take care of the young prince Ding.
The disliked Fourteenth Brother was now talking to the Sixteenth Brother, but his attention was focused on Thirteenth Fujin's carriage.
He was furious and felt that Brother Thirteen did it on purpose.
Just as he was about to go over and talk to Brother Thirteen, Brother Thirteen went to the women's side.
Fujin needs to be taken care of, but his younger brother doesn’t need to be taken care of, right?
He was just a snobbery person. Seeing that Khan Amma no longer favored him, he alienated himself and acted like his elder brother.
You grew up together with Zhaoxiang, why didn't you say you were your elder brother before?
The fourteenth elder brother suppressed his resentment, smiled on his face, and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "When we arrive at Gubeikou in two days, Khan Ama will definitely ask the prince to practice archery. Do you want to go?"
Brother Sixteen hurriedly shook his head and said: "I don't want to, I don't want to, I'm still young, Tong Gong just took aim, I don't want to embarrass myself."
Brother Fourteen looked Brother Sixteen up and down and said, "Why don't you grow taller? When I was your age, I was half a head taller than you, and my arms were a bit longer than yours..."
Brother Sixteen smiled and said: "Khan Ama said, I am late for drawing. Brother Ninth also did this when he was a child."
Brother Fourteen curled his lips and couldn't help but curse.
Concubine Yi and Gui Wang are not of high stature, so the sixteenth brother is not Xiao’s mother, right?
He has been to Jiangnan, and people from Jiangnan are shorter than people from the capital.
He knew that in the palace, "son is more valuable than mother", and the identity of the younger brother, the sixteenth elder brother, could not be compared with his, but thinking that the other party was now the "youngest son of the emperor", he still felt sour in his heart.
The first time I became a retinue, I was twelve years old; when I became the sixteenth brother, I was six years old...
Why doesn't this make people feel sad?
If only I were as old as Brother Sixteen, even if I made a mistake, I wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.
What's deplorable is that the Thirteenth Brother just stood by and watched, and the Fourth Brother had no intention of taking care of his own younger brother...
Brother Fourteen couldn't hold it in anymore as he thought about it, with dissatisfaction on his face.
Brother Sixteen moved his eyes away, still smiling, but couldn't help but look at his brothers' carriage.
Brother Fourteen is really boring, he just likes to have convulsions.
I don’t know what delicious food Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister will bring this time...
After resting for half an hour, the holy team continued to set off...
*
Beijing, Forbidden City, South Study.
Although there were still four princes on duty in the south study room, the tenth elder brother replaced the eighth elder brother, and the third elder brother was murmuring in his heart.
It happened that the tenth elder brother was also the king of Duoluo County, and his status was still noble. The third elder brother weighed it again and again. He didn't say anything, but secretly rubbed the Ministry of Personnel. He assigned the title of the Ministry of Husbandry to himself, and the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Work.
Among the ten elder brothers, the remaining portion of the ministry was given to the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother.
As a result, the fifth elder brother started to doze off after reading three books.
Everyone got up early to see the Holy Emperor out of Beijing this morning.
As soon as the fifth elder brother yawned, the tenth elder brother sitting next to him also started to yawn.
The two brothers looked at each other and wiped away tears.
The fifth elder brother was afraid that the tenth elder brother would just come and force himself to hold on, so he said: "We have to stay up for a long time, and we can't be too tired. How about we take a rest first?"
Brother Ten blinked, nodded and said, "Brother Five loves me so much that I can't even open my eyelids."
The fifth elder brother got up, opened a cabinet next to him, and took out two pillows.
One new and one old.
"I just happened to be changing my pillows, so I brought new ones. Let's take one each to avoid having a stiff neck..."
With that said, he pushed the new pillow to Brother Ten and took the old one himself.
The tenth elder brother had been in the same place as the ninth elder brother since he was a child, and he had been taken care of by the fifth elder brother. He was not polite, took the pillow, and lay down next to the fifth elder brother.
The seventh elder brother sat upright and looked askance at his brother and his brother who were slacking off.
Who doesn't want to?
The tenth prince came over to make up the numbers. It was not as good as the eighth prince coming, he could also relax.
When the third elder brother saw this, he felt a little more at ease.
No matter whether the tenth elder brother is really lazy or fake, the younger brother who doesn't fight for power is a good younger brother.
The weather is so sunny today, and Third Brother is more attentive in reading the question book.
Huh?
When an official takes office, he brings so many servants and servants with him?
There were hundreds of people in large numbers, and their food and clothing expenses were all provided to the officials and people they belonged to.
Nowadays, there are records from the imperial history that require limiting the number of followers that officials can bring.
The governor is limited to fifty people, the vassal is limited to forty, the Taoist government is limited to thirty, the Tongzhi, the prefecture and county are limited to twenty, the prefecture and county are limited to ten people, and the servants and maids are not allowed to pass here.
number.
The bannermen were responsible for border affairs, and those who were not Han officials could be compared with them. The governor's family could not exceed 500 people, and the number of officials under the rank of commander and below was doubled if Han officials were responsible.
The third elder brother suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He was promoted to the county king, and his subordinates also came back.
The biggest problem right now is the future of the banner population.
There are numerous shortcomings in the prince's palace.
If you want to make up for the flag shortage in Beijing, you have to compete with the clansmen who have white flags. It is not easy to say whether you win or not. It is easy to offend people.
The eldest brother didn’t even fight for the title, but if he did, it would be too eye-catching.
But as a small flag master, he and his subordinates have a mutually beneficial relationship.
If you can't take care of your family members properly, they won't be able to honor you.
Putting it out is a way out.
You can take so many people with you.
When the time comes for your disciples to go out, you can arrange some stewards to follow them. When you come back in a year and a half, you will have the filial piety and the earthly etiquette.
If one of them is capable and becomes a feudal official, his face will be glorious.
When the third elder brother made a plan, he not only read the questions from the Ministry of Rites, but also paid special attention to those from the Inspectorate.
In this way, he can immediately grasp where there is a vacancy.
Except for Zhili, in a conspicuous place like Jiangnan, it is not a matter of just one sentence to fill up some minor officials in other state capitals...
Hahaha, Third Brother feels that he has found the direction.
If this arrangement is good, the filial piety of the back disciples will be the salary of several county princes...
