Chapter 330: Judging a son is like judging a thief
The fourth elder brother nodded.
Brother Jiu then followed Liang Jiugong and left.
After entering Xinuang Pavilion, Kangxi asked before he could speak: "How is the twelfth elder brother?"
Kangxi didn't pay much attention to his twelfth elder brother, but since he was a prince, he still cared a little.
The ninth elder brother then described the injuries of the twelfth elder brother.
Hearing that his arm had a broken bone and he would have to recover for three to five months before he could write. Kangxi looked ugly and snorted: "You're already over ten, and you can still fall while walking. You're not stable enough!"
In his opinion, the twelfth elder brother had ordinary qualifications and was not very civil or military. The only thing worthy of praise in his studies was that he was diligent.
If you continue to delay like this, I'm afraid the advantage of being diligent will be lost.
Brother Jiu pursed his lips and did not say anything else.
If you have to mention that the yard has not been cleared of snow, the steps are slippery, etc., then the people in the fifth house will be punished, which is not what the twelfth brother wants to see.
Even so, Brother Jiu still felt that Khan Amma was too harsh.
Okay, who wants to get hurt?
Under normal circumstances, knowing that my son's injury is serious, shouldn't I send someone over to take a look and then give him ginseng, deer antlers and other blood-enhancing things?
It's too cold to reprimand him at this time.
Brother Jiu was full of curses in his heart, but he also knew not to talk about it.
Khan Amma is not biased for a day or two anymore.
He then talked about the reasons why Brother Twelve was injured.
It starts with banging on the door in the middle of the night.
When the Fourteenth Prince said it was haunted, Kangxi's face turned gloomy.
Hearing that Brother Fourteen had a high fever, Kangxi's face showed anxiety. He stood up and smashed the inkstone in his hand.
It hit Brother Jiu's chest.
Brother Jiu was stunned and stopped talking. He looked at Kangxi with a look of confusion on his face.
Kangxi was full of anger and scolded: "You bastard, why did you come to report this?"
Brother Jiu understood and quickly added: "The fever has dissipated and I'm sleeping soundly..."
Where can Kangxi rest assured?
He stood up and walked out. He couldn't wait for the chariot, so he strode out.
Liang Jiugong hurriedly hugged his cloak and chased after him.
Brother Jiu touched his chest and left Qianqing Palace with a gloomy expression.
The fourth elder brother looked in the direction of Yuehua Gate, where Shengjia had just left.
"Khan Amma went to see Fourteen?!"
Fourth elder brother asked.
The ninth elder brother nodded, knowing that the fourth elder brother would not worry about the fourteenth elder brother, and said: "Fourth elder brother should also go over and have a look..."
He understood the fourth elder brother's mood.
The fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are brothers from the same mother, but they are different. For example, the fifth elder brother will be particularly worried about himself.
The fourth elder brother nodded, and the two brothers also left the Yuehua Gate.
Brother Jiu felt strange in his heart, as he was still thinking about the inkstone he faced just now.
He should just be angry and hit him directly when taking aim; otherwise, if he was hit directly on the head at such a close distance, he would be shot.
Khan Amma's reaction was not a surprise.
The two times he fell ill in the seventh month, the Holy Master also visited the two places in person.
It’s just the love of my son.
Fourteen is a young man, and Sheng is much more favored than himself.
It’s not because of this that Jiu Agege tastes bad.
Just comparing it to Brother Twelve, I think the difference is so big that it's embarrassing.
He had previously complained that Khan Amma was partial, but in fact, apart from the eldest brother and the prince, his other brothers were not much more favored than him.
On the contrary, when it came to the case of the Twelveth Prince, Khan Ama could not even think of it at all; even when he did, he did not take it seriously.
In this contrast, one must learn to be content.
Brother Jiu felt that he had nothing to complain about.
The fourth elder brother was nearby. Seeing that he had no movement and his expression was not good-looking, he just thought he was worried about his two younger brothers and said: "Don't worry too much. Since the doctor said it's okay, it means it's okay."
Brother Jiu nodded, remembered something, and said: "Fourth brother, which brother will be walking in the Ministry of Works next spring?"
The fourth elder brother thought for a while and said: "I guess it's still the eighth elder brother. Some of the accounts in Hedao have not been cleared yet, so Khan Ama will not replace him."
Brother Ninth heard this and was filled with joy: "That's great! I thought the prince's residence was built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After asking the Construction Department, I found out that it was mainly an errand of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs only co-organized it..."
Brother Si thought of the two empty houses next door to his west, and felt a slight headache.
They were so noisy, and they lived together, and there was a lot of trouble in the future.
Brother Ninth Brother had already said rudely: "It's easy to move out. I'm afraid the knighthood will be postponed, and there won't be anyone to take care of me by then. The fourth brother must remember to find a few people to help his younger brother..."
The fourth elder brother was a little surprised and said with surprise: "What on earth are you going to do? Isn't it to recruit people from the eldest brother and the fifth elder brother?"
The capital is such a big area, and the royal family only has these few people.
Someone had already gone to Brother Si to sell it and told the relevant news.
The ninth elder brother said with a bit of pride: "That's not enough! The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot to do. If my brother takes on this errand, he can't just be a big manager. Anyway, he has business! Once he has done the errand, he will be able to do it in the future.
It’s not bad, I can guarantee my future through meritorious service, my brother can still do it!”
The fourth elder brother was slightly moved after hearing this.
His sect was divided into six Eight Banner Assistant Leaders and three Coat Leaders.
Among the subordinate rank officers of Baylor Mansion, there is one master of ceremonies from the fourth rank, one from the fifth rank and two from the sixth rank.
There are also ten guards, six second-class guards from the fourth rank, and four third-class guards from the fifth rank.
There are only fourteen vacancies for grade officials, and some should be left for relatives, confidants, and old friends.
If there were other ways to make a future for the children of the flag genus, who wouldn't want to?
It's just that he has always been cautious. He looked at Brother Ninth and gave some advice, saying: "You did a good job in protecting Mr. Zhang, but you violated the taboo of employing people. Don't do it again..."
This refers to the transfer of outsiders to occupy official vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Ninth said: "Fourth brother, don't worry. For that one time, it was Khan Amma's grace. I just mentioned... I won't take up any vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My brother still understands this rule!"
"Then what's missing?"
The fourth elder brother couldn't figure it out for a moment.
The flag shortage of the Jingli Yamen has been clearly distinguished for a long time.
Just like the fourth prince arrived at the White Flag and became a minor lord, but he couldn't get involved in the flag shortage of the White Flag.
That's because the low-level ones are limited to the assistant collar.
For positions with higher grades, the scope will be larger, and the qualifications of candidates will also increase, and most of them will be selected by living officials.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Just leave it alone, you will know when the time comes!"
Nothing to fear!
Just add a few gaps.
The wool issue is really coming to an end. Purchasing wool in various Mongolian ministries has become a normal practice. Whether it is the Ministry of Industry or the Lifan Yuan, they can add a few vacancies to take charge of this matter.
When the time comes, it's not right for him, the person who made the first contribution, to leave several vacancies for his subordinates.
When the ninth elder brother said this, the fourth elder brother stopped asking.
Anyway, just ask the next person when the time comes.
Ninth Prince is here at this age, so he really needs someone to look after him to make him feel at ease.
*
Two study rooms.
Looking at Brother Fourteen who was still sleeping soundly, Kangxi's anger calmed down slightly.
Shu Shu, the tenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother stood behind, all with caution.
Kangxi stood for a long time, then turned around and came out, sat down on the Kang in the west room, looked at Shu Shu with a burning gaze: "Mr. Dong E, what happened last night?"
Shu Shu's scalp was numb, and she was already thinking about what Brother Jiu said.
What does Kangxi mean?
Is this to verify the couple's confessions?
She was frightened and confused in her heart, but her face remained unchanged and she did not dare to delay. She truthfully told the story of how she woke up in the middle of the night.
She just didn't mention the fact that she woke up Ninth Brother, and downplayed her own role in reducing the fever.
Kangxi listened and looked at the tenth prince without comment.
The tenth elder brother bowed and said, "My son woke up when he heard the noise in the fourth residence. Later, he heard the fourteenth brother knocking on the door outside the second residence. He felt uneasy and came over."
Kangxi looked at his thirteenth elder brother again.
The Thirteenth Brother said: "My son should be later than the Tenth Brother. He only woke up when the Fourteenth Brother came here and knocked on the door. He came here without worrying."
Several people had black eye circles and bloodshot eyes.
Kangxi remained silent, his face indistinct between joy and anger.
How can there be ghosts in this world?!
I just asked people to conduct a thorough investigation of the old people in the four houses, and there was a haunting incident in the fourth house...
Kangxi was also unsure.
I feel that no one will be stupid and shift everyone's attention to the fourth place.
He remembered that the fourteenth elder brother had been shocked when he went to Zhijun Prince's Mansion to watch the funeral a few days ago, and he had some suspicion that the fourteenth elder brother had moved to a new home to choose a table or something.
We have to wait for Brother Fourteen to wake up.
Just as he was thinking about it, the fourteenth elder brother came out of the study in his middle coat and yawned.
It was Brother Fourteen's nanny who quietly woke him up.
Seeing Kangxi, the fourteenth elder brother was surprised. He rushed over and grabbed Kangxi's sleeve: "Khan Ama, are you here to see your son?"
His face was full of energy, his eyes were shining, and he was about to jump for joy.
Most of Kangxi's worries were gone.
He looked at Brother Fourteen with a straight face and scolded: "You are the only one who is doing this nonsense, and so many people are following you!"
The fourteenth elder brother pouted and said, "My son didn't mean it!"
It was midnight and he was so frightened.
Now that the sky was bright and he was beside the emperor's father, the fourteenth elder brother also became bolder and said: "My son has gained great knowledge! They say there are ghosts and ghosts, but who has seen it? My son has seen it this time.
See you..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned into Kangxi's ear and whispered: "Khan Ama, is Brother Eleven unhappy that his son has taken over his house? His son is afraid, so he should move back to Zhaoxiang House?"
Kangxi looked at his fourteenth elder brother and saw a faint look of fear on his face and a look of prayer in his eyes. It seemed that he was really scared.
Kangxi did not ask him to describe the scene last night.
What Lao Jiu and Dong E said just now are similar, they should have been talked about by Fourteenth last night.
The tent moved, there was a cool breeze, crying...
Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but there was anger in his heart.
If someone really tried to intimidate the prince, he would be killed by a thousand cuts!
At this time, the ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother also arrived.
The fourteenth brother touched his belly and ordered Shu Shu without any surprise: "Sister-in-law Ninth, my brother wants to eat steamed eggs, the same thing that my brother and the thirteenth brother came to eat last time... I also want to eat meat dragon, I want it.
Two, side dishes with perilla leaves..."
Shu Shu was standing there feeling uncomfortable. She felt that Brother Fourteen was extremely cute, so she responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to the dining room and ask someone to prepare it..."
After saying that, she blessed Kangxi and retreated.
I almost bumped into Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu helped her and told her: "Go slowly, just ask someone to go to the dining room to keep an eye on her. Don't go there, the road is slippery..."
Shu Shu smiled and said nothing.
The fourth elder brother looked at the lively fourteenth elder brother, and his face turned dark.
There was a lot of trouble everywhere, but he still had the nerve to order food?
How unjust is this injury to the twelfth elder brother?
When Kangxi saw his two sons coming in, he ignored the fourth elder brother and ordered the ninth elder brother: "Send the people from the construction department to clean up the first and second offices in the east. Choose a suitable day to let the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother
