Chapter 554: The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry)
"Uh-huh!"
Gao Bin responded honestly.
After leaving Jiangning this time, Cao Shun did not follow him north, but went directly to Hangzhou to start preparing for the purchase of chicken blood stone.
But Gao Bin still has a long memory.
His previous role was mediocre.
It's just for his father's sake. If he doesn't learn to make progress, he will be easily replaced by others in the future.
Brother Jiu was studying himself, so he was naturally satisfied with Gao Bin's attitude and said: "I am in the Yamen today and I don't plan to go out. Why don't you go to the Beiguanfang to see how the construction of the Prince's Mansion is going? If Fusong is here,
Just ask if there is any news outside recently..."
Gao Bin recited these words silently in his heart, then took the order and went out.
Brother Ninth remembered the library that was planned yesterday.
Anyway, there are only a few people in the Prince's Mansion. After waiting for a while, if the couple leaves the palace again, they can go there together to have a look and find a suitable place.
As for the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...
Brother Jiu dug out the official documents from the construction company with a smile on his lips.
The speed is really fast.
When the Holy Emperor was stationed in Jiangning, he summoned the head of the Ji family's censor family who had become an official, and also gave the Ji family grace.
It has only been a month, and the Ji family has been officially registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It has been two and a half months since he left Beijing in early March, but the backlog of official business in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not much.
Although he and Ma Qi were not here, Hayartu and He Yi were still there.
In addition, the yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are relatively independent, and there are many old practices to follow.
Therefore, in less than half a day, he dealt with everything he could handle.
He hesitated whether to go back to the second house to eat directly or wait for someone to bring a meal box.
If he sneaks back in the middle, will it look like he is too idle?
A man?
It is better to have a career.
Before he could make up his mind, there were messy footsteps outside.
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth..."
It was Brother Ten who came, panting.
Brother Jiu said: "Why are you so anxious? Did Zhao say it?"
The tenth elder brother waved his hand and said: "It's not Zhao, it's Peng Chun who has passed away!"
Brother Jiu stood up immediately: "Nothing today?"
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "This morning Khan Ama sent a message to Prince Jian, asking him to find out Dong E's family affairs and report them truthfully. Prince Jian and Peng Chun have an old relationship. I wanted to go over first and see what Peng Chun said. Seeing that my brother is idle
Then he took me with him, and just in time the third brother brought his third sister-in-law to Guining..."
Speaking of this, he bared his teeth and said: "It seems that the third brother also went to the two lawsuits. He must have wanted to make peace, thinking 'big things will be reduced to small things, small things will be reduced'. Unexpectedly, Peng Chun was seriously ill and heard that
Say this, get angry and attack your heart, and it will disappear!"
Brother Ninth was stunned when he heard this and said: "Then Peng Chun's family relies on the third child?"
The tenth elder brother shook his head and said: "I don't have the courage. Zeng Shou reprimanded the second and third sons of their family for being unfilial and disobedient. They falsely accused the elders of the clan and made my father angry to death. He wanted them to clean up and leave the house. The second and third sons of their family bit back.
, saying it was the boss who was behind the instigation, anyway, 'dog bites dog, it's a hair in the mouth'..."
Brother Ninth was already a little impatient.
How could such a lively scene be conveyed in just a few words?
This is the scene that should be described well.
"Should we go visit the funeral?"
Brother Jiu said excitedly.
The tenth elder brother said: "Prince Jian will take the third brother to Qianqing Palace to report the matter. It is better to wait and see what Khan Amma says."
Peng Chun is not an ordinary nobleman, but a first-class public servant.
At present, the number of first-class princes alive in the imperial court does not exceed one palm.
This is a loss of faith. Brother Ninth wanted to be kind, but he couldn't help but gloat to Brother Ten and said, "You think the third brother is so energetic, is it because of some collision in the past two years?"
The tenth elder brother thought about it and realized that the past year or so since the third elder brother was enthroned was not going well.
However, the third prince's demotion last year was his own, and today's decision is unlucky.
"No matter what, Third Brother got involved in this matter out of brotherhood this time. Khan Ama will also see this. Ninth Brother, please don't say anything in front of him later, it's unreasonable..."
Brother Ten reminded.
Brother Jiu was unconvinced and said: "Emotions are more important than human feelings. He really doesn't want to think about his identity. The prince's brother who has been ennobled and interferes with the family affairs of a noble family is still separated.
Flag, really shameless..."
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said: "The third brother has always been calculating in his actions, and there are not many times when he is so reckless. I don't think he has anything to do with you, the ninth elder brother."
Brother Jiu was startled, then shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. When I came back from Tongzhou, I went straight back to the palace and didn't see him at all."
The tenth elder brother thought for a while and said: "Ninth brother, you took the ninth sister-in-law to the red flag yesterday, and the third brother probably heard about it."
They are both sons-in-law of the Dong E family, and the ninth elder brother is so eager, so naturally the third elder brother cannot be too cold.
Brother Jiu sneered: "What's wrong with this? Will I take the joke made by two bastards seriously? I feel sorry for your sister-in-law. I want to come back from a long trip to see my mother-in-law, but I can't see my mother-in-law.
, it’s so pitiful that I took her there once. From leaving the palace to returning to the palace, it only took an hour, just to talk..."
Before he finished speaking, there was movement outside again.
Wei Zhu came: "Jiuye, the emperor has summoned..."
Having said this, he glanced at Brother Ten again and said: "The Emperor said that if Master Ten is here, send Master Ten over..."
The two brothers looked at each other.
The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth drooped and he said, "The third child won't really bite me, will he?"
The Tenth Brother said: "Khan Ama probably also wants to ask about yesterday's events. Ninth Brother, just tell the truth."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but snorted and said, "You really shouldn't sympathize with him!"
Wei Zhu was standing by, looking at Brother Ninth and was speechless.
Can't these two brothers go behind someone's back when they say something trivial?
When the emperor turned around and asked, did he say it or not?
Brother Jiu only complained about these two words and went to Qianqing Palace.
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi sat cross-legged on the Kang, his face as sinking as water.
Prince Jian Yabu stood aside with his head bowed, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he was very happy in his heart.
Fortunately, Third Brother arrived first, otherwise, he would have revealed the matter to Peng Chun, and he would be the one kneeling now.
He was the head of the clan, a first-class duke. Even if he was a prince, there was no need to offend him for nothing.
The third elder brother was kneeling on the ground, his expression was sluggish, and his tone was aggrieved.
"Khan Ama, my son really wants to make peace, 'everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious', and the same principle applies to 'family harmony'..."
He was also physically and mentally exhausted.
I never expected that as soon as I returned to the capital, there would be big news waiting for me.
My second brother-in-law and third brother-in-law actually wanted to seize the titles of other heads of households.
This is not in line with the Qing Dynasty Laws, and I feel too confused.
who are they?
A playboy who doesn't even have a serious job.
But what about Qi Xi?
You must know that before Qi Xi became the father-in-law of the ninth elder brother, he had served as the commander-in-chief of Manchuria under the Zhenghong Banner for many years.
He was a confidant promoted by Khan Amma. How could he be brought down with just a few specious accusations?
Besides, it is well known that Xindali is weak.
There is also a complaint from the previous county chief, which is enough to prove that Xindali's worsening condition was caused by his pet.
If brothers Fu Han and Fu Hai insist on accusing Qi Xi of harming others, they must first overturn the previous records of the clan.
He is simply seriously ill!
"My son thought that the younger generation might be mad at the nonsense and the older generation might be angry and unable to step down. Since my son is the son-in-law of Dong E's family, he came forward to make peace and give the two families a step to step down..."
The third elder brother said it sincerely.
Kangxi also saw that he was not cheating, but he was still dissatisfied and said: "The prince has reached the Infantry Command Yamen and Dali Temple, and then arrived in front of the emperor. Is it child's play?"
"Can you settle this matter by making peace?"
"If there is any doubt about the cause of Xinda Li's death, then he did not die in vain? If there is no doubt, then it is Fuhai who made a false accusation and wants to be revolted. And because he and Qi Xi are juniors and elders, the crime will be increased!"
"Do you want to make peace between the two families, or do you want to protect your Yue family and use your status as a prince to suppress Qi Xi from pursuing this matter?!"
"Slap your chest and tell me honestly!"
By the end of the sentence, he had a serious look on his face.
The third elder brother's face turned red, but he did not dare to argue. He said sarcastically: "My son does have some selfish motives and wants to settle the matter quickly. Otherwise, the capital will regard it as a joke, and my son and Lao Jiu will also lose their face. I want to come to Lao Jiu."
Yesterday I went to Dutong Mansion in a hurry for the same purpose."
Kangxi looked at the third elder brother steadily, with disappointment in his eyes.
If you are not careful when things happen, it is a big problem if you are not responsible.
He bites his brother every time.
He really doesn't act like an older brother.
Prince Jian looked on, worried about the third elder brother.
This is not how the imperial response works.
If you say you are wrong, then you must honestly admit your mistake.
This kind of sophistry means that the emperor has no habit of beating his sons in front of the emperor; even if he is in front of me, the stick will have been hit long ago.
"Your Majesty, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are here. Meet them outside."
Wei Zhu came in and reported.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Pass!"
Wei Zhu responded, went out and brought in the ninth and tenth elder brothers.
Seeing the third elder brother kneeling on the ground, the ninth elder brother wanted to endure it, but he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
Deserve it!
Kangxi sat on the kang and saw so clearly that his palms itched.
He suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice: "I heard that you took Fujin to Ning yesterday and just returned to Beijing. Is there anything you can't wait for a day, so you have to go there on the same day?"
Brother Jiu had been prepared for a long time and told the truth: "My son Fujin was worried about my mother-in-law. After returning to the second house, he immediately went to Yikun Palace to pay her respects. When my son saw him, he thought that it would not be easy for his mother-in-law to give birth at an advanced age, so he took him with him
My son Fujin has returned to Ningxia..."
Kangxi was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect this answer.
But given Brother Jiu's temperament, this answer is the most likely answer.
Without a plan, I patted my forehead and thought about it as soon as it came out, so I didn't even take the bodyguards with me, just called some guards to follow me and went out.
Kangxi glanced at the third elder brother, then continued to look at the ninth elder brother and asked: "What about the Dong E family's lawsuit? You didn't mention it to Qi Xi?"
Brother Ninth's eyes were a little wandering.
Seeing his guilty look, Kangxi's face darkened and he said, "Say!"
Brother Jiu said with dismay: "My son saw that his father-in-law was at home and did not come to the palace for duty, so he advised him to go to the palace more often and explain the lawsuit to Khan Ama. However, his father-in-law said that his son was my elder brother."
, it’s not easy to interfere in Dong E’s family affairs, what else can my son say?”
"My son's father-in-law is a little stupid. He still treats it as a family matter, but the government is watching him eagerly. He threw a basin of sewage down and didn't treat him as a relative!"
"My son wanted to come and talk to you when he returned to the palace yesterday, but his son Fujin persuaded me to wait for your judgment!"
"Hey! My son is also like, 'The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry'!"
Kangxi: "..."
Liang Jiugong, Wei Zhu: "..."
