My father-in-law is Kangxi

Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and said: "You should take your time, do everything. Now, when it comes to ginseng, in order to clear the accounts, you must check the imperial pharmacy. Even if the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are fools, they can think of me, Your Majesty." I don't like the turmoil in the House of Internal Affairs, and the Jin family's affairs are all changed, and Guangshanku's place is also peaceful and drizzle."

All departments under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are prohibited from investigating.

Check it out.

Then there will be another wave.

Brother Jiu A listened to the advice and nodded: "The matter of selling ginseng will be slowed down. Let Le Fengming look for prescriptions to see if there are any successful prescriptions that use ginseng. When the time comes, we will use the old ginseng. It’s a waste.”

Although Shu Shu told Shi Fujin and Jiu Gege to organize the game, it was not arranged for the next day.

Now that I'm here, I naturally have to go to the North Garden to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.

She asked Bai Guo to go over and ask her a day in advance. Knowing that the Queen Mother would be free the next day, Shu Shu planned to go over and say hello.

The next day, Shu Shu got up early and brought a set of bamboo green silk coat for Brother Jiu to put on.

The clothes on my upper body for the first time looked very refreshing. Apart from the red purse, there were only fan covers and mutton-fat jade safety signs hanging on my waist.

Brother Jiu got up early and didn't sleep until three o'clock in the morning. He was preparing to go to Changchun Garden.

He faced the mirror, straightened his hat, and said to Shu Shu: "Prepare a few more dishes at noon. Today, Khan Ama has summoned Cheng Ding's sons, and the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers are also there. , if they come out of the garden late, I will take them directly to my house to eat."

Shu Shu was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was also the twelfth prince.

Is this because the twelfth prince was engaged, and Kangxi remembered that this son was already a man, and could he arrange his duties with other princes when something happened?
Brother Ninth also felt the same way and said, "It's time to think of it. Otherwise, if we all get together and count from the eldest brother to thirteen, if only one of us is missing, it would look ridiculous."

Shu Shu thought of Ma Qi.

Is this to give dignity to his confidants and promote his son? !
All I can say is that this is the royal family.

The relationship between father and son is different from ordinary families.

She said: "When the prince leaves the capital, even if he does not arrange for someone to supervise the country's governance, he should be arranged to enter the palace and stay in the south study room, right?"

Shengjia patrols the Yongding River at this time, one is to see the flood discharge situation in spring flood, and the other is to look at the flood control preparations before summer flood.

The prince was taken away, and the capital wanted to assign the prince to take charge.

If the eldest brother doesn't move, Kangxi will lift up the prince behind him to check and balance.

Nowadays, the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs exists in name only, and the power is in the hands of Kangxi alone, who issues orders to the world through the South Study Room.

But Nan Shufang is full of assistant ministers. In addition to the bachelors who stayed in Beijing, they also need people with high status to take charge.

After hearing this, Brother Nine got a little tangled up, and said, "Will there be an old ten? He has been in the court for three years. I am looking forward to having him, but also worried about having him..."

Shu Shu thought about it for a moment and said: "Most likely, I will choose from the princes in front of me. They have all been on the job for more than ten years. The years are here and the six departments have passed through. The emperor will feel more at ease."

Brother Jiu nodded, but he understood, and said: "That's right, the brothers at the top can't be idle, grabbing the old ten and twelve to make up the numbers. They have to be under the influence of the emperor for a few years, run errands alone, and have experience. Khan Amma can use it with peace of mind."

But thinking of the age of the eldest brother, he raised his eyebrows to Shu Shu and said, "Have you talked about calling me master? Now the eldest brother and the others are in their prime, but after ten or eight years, they are all old. I don't know if they will still be the mainstay in the future." What about this wave in the middle..."

Shu Shu said: "My uncle is only 11 years older than me. I am also more than ten years older than my fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers. I am also disliked when I look back, so I feel comfortable."

Brother Jiu said: "Okay, I won't mention this anymore. I just feel that my eldest brother has aged very well in recent years. Although he has shaved his beard, he and Khan Ama are together. They are not like the two of me, but more like brothers... "

Shu Shu didn't answer, thinking of Kangxi's youngest son, 24-year-old brother, who seemed to be about the same age as the emperor's great-grandson.

Don't say anything else, just say that Kangxi became the emperor, don't say other credits, just reproduce here, and you have achieved excellence.

After him, half of the clan was descended from the Holy Ancestor.

In addition to the direct lineage of Si Age, there are also eighteen clan inheritances.

You must know that the seven generations of emperors after him only added sixteen clans.

Among the princes of this generation like the Ninth Prince, even the eldest brother, who had the most children, only gave birth to fifteen sons.

After breakfast, the ninth elder brother came out and went to Changchun Garden with the tenth elder brother.

Outside Qingxi Bookstore, there was already a slip.

Everyone except the prince arrived.

The ninth elder brother stood behind the eighth elder brother and asked curiously: "Why hasn't it been passed yet? Are you waiting for me and the tenth brother?"

The eldest brother said nothing.

Compared with being bored in the capital, traveling with an escort is more enjoyable.

He was a little unhappy to be replaced temporarily by the prince, and he didn't want to talk at the moment.

The third elder brother glanced at the eldest elder brother and said, "The prince is here."

The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and swallowed his words.

Arriving late is against the rules.

But this is just a docile donkey. Even if you need to be disciplined in the future, someone else will take the lead.

As I get older, I lose face.

Last month, the ninth elder brother gave him a slap in the face, and the fourth elder brother felt something in his heart.

The fifth elder brother had no scruples and glared at the ninth elder brother and said, "We already live here, how can we step here?"

Yesterday they received a summons to see Chen Zhengma this morning.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother came a quarter of an hour apart.

Brother Jiu smiled and said, "It's just that we live close by, so it's convenient to visit. If we live in the city, we're afraid of delays, so we arrive in advance. We live next to each other, and yet we come here early to wait. Isn't that a fool?"

Fifth elder brother: "..."

This seems to be the reason, so why did I come here early?

Like a fool.

He was a little confused, but then he remembered that he entered the garden early because he was afraid that he would be disrespectful behind the older brothers.

At that time, I forgot that Brother Jiu had moved here, and I didn’t think of calling anyone.

Seeing that the other elder brothers were about to lecture, the ninth elder brother said to the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother: "Do you want to transplant the flowers and trees in the main courtyard? Before the eighth brother got married, the flowers and trees were moved there..."

After hearing what the ninth elder brother said, everyone looked at the twelfth elder brother.

The twelfth elder brother paused, and after a while he said: "Ninth brother hasn't moved."

Brother Jiu said: "You don't need to learn from me. I didn't expect it at the time. It was only when I saw Bage's yard later that I realized how nice it would be to plant some bananas and begonias, otherwise the yard would be bare."

Everyone looks at the Eighth Prince again.

The eighth elder brother remembered the days in the first place, it was the time when the husband and wife were in love. Later, because of Da Fujin's serious illness, they opened the house ahead of schedule, moved in the winter months, and the vegetation was not easy to move. The next year, they went to the south for a tour , and waited until Nanxunxun came to move to his own residence.

However, the relationship between the couple was weak at that time, so the flowers and trees in the first place were not moved to the main courtyard and were planted directly in the garden.

A crabapple, a pomegranate, and several pots of peonies.

He said to the twelfth elder brother: "There is a flower and grass house in Jingshan. If the twelfth elder brother wants to transplant anything, just ask someone to pick it up there."

"Thank you, Eighth Brother..." The Twelveth Brother only thanked him and did not say whether he would go over.

Brother Thirteen was standing by and said, "Brother Twelve, let's go to Jingshan this afternoon and take a look at what's there. I'd rather have two pine trees. It's nice to just look at the green." Brother Twelve: "..."

I don't want to make a fuss, but the female relatives live in the main courtyard, and some flowers and plants are eye-catching.

In Grandma's Buddhist hall, there are two pots of spider plants and a tank of goldfish.

Grandma said, if your eyes are tired, look at the spider plants and goldfish to soothe your eyes.

The goldfish in my study came from my grandma.

He nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

The third elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother with a smile, and said: "It's the wedding, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and the dining room is finally complete..."

Speaking of this, he thought of the days before the big wedding, and said to Brother Jiu: "Shouldn't the House of Internal Affairs take a good look at it later, the prince's division is too simple, it's just like that before the big wedding, every day The seasonings are not complete, and it is only after the wedding that we are reunited with Fujin. What is this? You have to take advantage of it before you can eat a few mouthfuls of rice?"

Brother Ninth thought of the days when he was starving and said, "Why did Third Brother think of mentioning this? If my brothers had brought this up when they were hungry, wouldn't those of us behind have suffered?"

The third elder brother said: "I didn't like my appetite earlier, but I was abducted by you these few years, and I don't like to stretch my chopsticks when I eat regular dishes."

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "My younger brother is not that powerful. He can abduct Third Brother. It can only be said that the people in the city have enough food and clothing and start to want good food. In the past few years, I have looked at the restaurants in the inner and outer cities. But there are a lot of new ones opening, and as long as they have signature dishes, business will be good.”

Third Brother thought for a while and said: "That's true. Not only are there more restaurants, but there are also more types of food. Chilled food from the Northeast, dried seafood from Shandong, and Dongzi dishes from the suburbs of Beijing were all rarities in the early years. Son, it’s been common these past few years.”

The others said nothing and had their own thoughts.

This is indeed the case. The capital has changed a lot in the past ten years. Not only the restaurants and food stalls are doing well, but the business of cloth shops and silk and satin shops is also good.

Even for ordinary bannermen, it has become normal to wear new clothes during the changing seasons.

If the family is not rich, it is common for them to use their winter clothes to cut off their summer clothes.

When winter comes, you pawn your summer clothes and redeem your winter clothes.

The luxury of the Eight Banners has grown from top to bottom.

An ordinary flag man has no money left in his family.

At this time, Liang Jiugong came out, glanced at the princes, and said to the eldest brother: "Your Majesty, the emperor has sent you to go in with all the princes..."

The eldest brother nodded and led everyone into Qingxi Bookstore.

In the Qingxi study room, Kangxi was sitting on the kang. There was a chair beside the kang, and the prince sat on it.

The father and son were only two or three steps away, as if they were talking about something, the scene of a loving father and a filial son.

Seeing everyone coming in, the prince had no intention of getting up.

After everyone greeted the emperor and him, he stood up and nodded to his eldest brother, then nodded to everyone and sat down again.

The prince has always had a high position in the imperial court, and everyone is accustomed to it.

It was just that Shu Shu thought about joining the South Study Room. In addition to the fifth elder brother, the other elder brothers also thought about it.

The third elder brother's heart was pounding.

The prince is not the prince.

When the prince stays in Beijing, he can supervise the country and take charge of government affairs.

When it comes to the prince, it's not appropriate for one person to take charge of everything.

Besides the eldest brother, he should be the one who stays in the capital to assist with government affairs, right?
He is the third elder brother, just behind the eldest elder brother and the prince in age.

If there were two people, it would be him.

If we choose four people, he should be included.

Kangxi had already looked at his eldest brother and said: "Thousands of generals from various provinces come to Beijing to wait for their positions. Some of them can't fill the vacancies for many years. I heard that the maximum length of stay in the capital is ten years. When you are in Beijing these days, there will be thousands of people on the waiting list." All are counted and vacancies are filled according to seniority; the number of military attachés posted outside the capital must not exceed [-]% of the local vacancies, otherwise it will be too uneven."

Civilian candidates also have to run for official positions. They are selected from candidates recommended by several ministries.

It's a bit tricky to be a military officer candidate here.

The capital's supply was limited, so after the nobles' sons had made up for their future, they would move around the Ministry of War and be sent to other places when they were old enough.

What comes and goes is that if there is a vacancy at the bottom, people from the capital will fill it.

However, it is difficult for those local military attachés who have reached their seniority to retain their posts at the same level. Once they are full-time and come to the capital to see the Majesty, there will be no shortage to fill.

Although the eldest brother is impatient with these trivial matters, this is the emperor's order, so he bows to it.

Kangxi looked at his expression carefully, and there was nothing unusual before looking at other people.

The princes are divided according to their age.

Next to the prince are the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother.

Below the eldest brother are the fourth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother.

The youngest brother Thirteen also looks like an adult, he is about to get married.

Kangxi remembered that earlier, in the year 22, Empress Dowager Feng Tai went to Gubeikou to escape the summer heat. She brought the prince, eldest brother and third elder brother with her. They were all children at the time, and the third elder brother could not speak well.

That was the first time he took his son out.

In the year 26, the eighth prince, who had entered the study room, also followed him on a tour outside the fortress, becoming the little prince in the eyes of the Mongols.

In a flash, 20 years have passed.

He mused: "The prince will follow me on a tour of the Yongding River. Someone should be left on duty in the south study room..."

Having said this, he started to name people, saying: "Third elder brother, fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, eighth elder brother..."

Four people came out in response.

Kangxi said: "You will be divided into two groups, and you will take turns entering the palace."

The four of them responded in unison.

The ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother across from him and felt relieved when he saw that his expression was as usual.

Let Shu Shu speak.

There is no tenth brother, but there are older brothers in front.

A lazy person like Fifth Brother was pulled out to make up the numbers.

This result was also expected, but Brother Jiu still felt a little uncomfortable.

The elder brother in front, except for the fifth brother and the seventh brother, and the prince, are praised by everyone and said to be capable of doing anything.

Since him, no one has praised him.

He just paid it forward. He did not enter the court, did not deal with government affairs, and there were no drastic changes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The tenth brother was not given a chance to show it at all.

It is said that the third brother and the old thirteen are both civil and military, but he knows that the tenth brother is also good at both civil and military.

Khan Amma also took away three sons and sent five sons on errands. Why didn't he think of Lao Shilai?
