My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1843 Rotation (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

It was just a small matter, so the Ninth Prince nodded in agreement.

He looked at the Thirteenth Prince with a half-smile and said, "Besides caring about our old relationship, is there anything else?"

Ginseng and sea cucumber were taken out, and others might not know about it, but the Thirteenth Lady must have known about it.

The Thirteenth Prince is really good at coaxing people.

The Thirteenth Prince admitted it honestly and said, "My brother's wife is also worried about my aunt and sister, and she is worried about me."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "My sister-in-law is a good person. Among relatives, there are always more people who add icing on the cake, and fewer who help in times of need."

The two sisters were both daughters of high-ranking officials. When it came time to get married, one was the legitimate wife of the prince, and the other was the daughter-in-law of a young son in a poor university scholar's mansion. Their situations were very different.

It is rare that you can think of helping at this time.

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "My brother's wife has a straightforward personality and is generous and kind."

The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows but did not comment.

The prince's wife in the palace, under the watchful eyes of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, has a bad temper, so how can she be jealous?

There is no choice at all.

I can only say he is a smart person.

The Thirteenth Prince is no ordinary prince. He is one of the most respected princes in the imperial court, and his biological mother is the favored queen in the palace.

The Thirteenth Prince said: "It's not just because of my aunt, my father-in-law and Yi Xiang have been friends for many years."

The two families were not in the same banner and had no marriage relationship. The two old men were colleagues and worked in the Ministry of Justice when they were young, one was a doctor and the other was a member of the Ministry of Justice, that is, superiors and subordinates.

Later, when Yisan'a served as the Minister of War concurrently as a Grand Secretary, Malhan served as the Vice Minister of War, and the two once again became superiors and subordinates.

The Ninth Prince praised: "Great, you kill three birds with one stone, and even please your father-in-law."

Compared with the twelfth prince, the thirteenth prince is much smarter.

The Thirteenth Prince knew that the Ninth Prince also attached great importance to the Yue family.

He told the truth: "I can't do much for Fu Jin, but Fu Jin has to work hard. Marrying into the palace has many rules, it's better to marry outside and live freely."

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and said, "Who can live a smooth life? The palace has its own advantages, and the rules outside are more stringent. Being a lady at home is a luxury, but being a lady outside is also a hardship. You know that it is a good thing to be considerate of the wife, but don't overdo it, so as not to attract attention and cause trouble for your younger brother and sister-in-law."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded.

If he had not shown too closeness to Yue family at the beginning of his marriage, there would not have been the Guarjia Gege later.

I just hope that Guaerjia gives birth to a princess this time, so that my family doesn't end up with the eldest son being born out of wedlock.

The Thirteenth Prince thanked the Ninth Prince, then stood up and said, "I'm going to talk to the Fourth Brother for a few words, and then I'll be leaving first."

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and said, "Go, go, just wait for half a day, and everyone will be free starting tomorrow."

The Thirteenth Prince went to the east room.

The Ninth Prince pointed at the package and told He Yuzhu, "Put it away. Remember to remind me. When Yiduli comes to pay New Year's greetings to me, give it to me."

He Yuzhu agreed and put away the package.

In the East Duty Room, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't wait to talk about the follow-up of the gossip at the beginning of the month.

"Fourth brother, Khan Ama rejected the Ministry of Justice's decision and insisted on maintaining the prison term of execution, and not allowing commutation to exile..."

Thirteenth Prince spoke with a bit of lightness, saying, "Since that day when Khan Ama refused to allow the title of emperor at the court meeting, I knew that Khan Ama did not like these empty names. Compared with the illusory reputation of benevolence, it is more important to uphold the law and justice and to shock the world."

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince said, "Then you can rest assured. At least you don't have to set a bad precedent for evil people to take advantage of."

The Thirteenth Prince showed admiration on his face and said, "Khan Ama's 'inhumanity' in this case is the best kind of kindness to the people of the world. Khan Ama is a well-deserved benevolent monarch!"

The Fourth Prince nodded. Khan's father ascended the throne at a young age and ruled for forty-one years. He cherished the people's strength and restrained the powerful. He was indeed worthy of the word "benevolence".

Seeing that there were still files on the Fourth Prince's desk, the Thirteenth Prince left quickly after talking about the follow-up of the lawsuit.

He did not mention the reason for coming to see the Ninth Prince, and the Fourth Prince did not ask.

Just seeing that he came with something in his hand and left empty-handed, the Fourth Prince knew what was going on...

*
At noon, the Ninth Prince still had lunch with the Fourth Prince.

There is a rare dish in the lunch at the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

The Fourth Prince thought he had seen it wrong and took a closer look.

"Dandelion? Is this planted?"

Dongzi vegetables have existed since ancient times, and all the vegetables grown here are green vegetables. This is the first time I have seen wild vegetables grown.

This couple must have a very leisurely life to be able to come up with all these tricks.

The Ninth Prince said proudly: "This is the first crop. I have been busy for several months, and today is the first time I pick it."

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but worry again, and asked, "Has the palace paid tribute?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, I have asked someone to tell the Tenth Lady and asked her to bring it to the palace this morning and present it to various places as tributes."

Today is the day when the princes and their wives come to the palace to pay their respects.

Fourth elder brother: "..."

It’s not wrong to entrust it like this.

In addition to dandelions, the dipping sauce platter also includes cucumber strips, coriander segments, radish tops, bok choy, and green onion shreds.

It comes with two kinds of sauces, beef sauce for meat and watermelon sauce for vegetarian.

In the cold winter, who can resist such a fresh and tender side dish?
Not only did the Fourth Prince eat with relish, but the Ninth Prince also ate a lot more.

When the dining table was gone, the Fourth Prince went back to work again.

The Ninth Prince asked He Yuzhu to pack the things in the duty room and wait for Shen Chu to seal them before returning home.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the end of the afternoon when the Fourth Prince came over to call for help.

I'm going to the Shangshufang.

All the people from the Ministry of Revenue have gathered outside the Shangshufang.

From the four assistant ministers to the humble Baitang'a, all had to wait here.

Seeing the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince coming over, everyone greeted them.

The Fourth Prince raised his hand and called out, then took the Ninth Prince to stand in front of the four assistant ministers.

The Ninth Prince was a little surprised, as he thought they were just here to learn the job, and unlike the princes in charge of the departments, they had to stand behind the four vice ministers.

Looking at the Fourth Prince's calmness and the four assistant ministers' respectfulness, one can tell that this was the position in previous years.

The Ninth Prince was relieved.

The Ministry of Revenue has two ministers, one Manchu and one Han. The Manchu minister is in charge of seals and decision-making and is the highest official.

This seal is the seal of the Ministry of Revenue held by Minister Man.

When it was Shen Chuji time, the Manchu and Han ministers arrived. They bowed and greeted the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, and then the sealing ceremony began.

The Manchu Shangshu was in front and the Han Shangshu was in the back.

The Han minister opened the seal box and the Manchu minister put the official seal in.

The seal was affixed by the Han Shangshu.

Then came the seals of the Manchu and Han ministers, which were also sealed one by one.

The first sealing ceremony of the Ministry of Revenue came to an end.

Later, all offices of the Ministry of Revenue that have official seals must seal them, and relevant subordinates must also accompany them.

Layer by layer, he was promoted to the highest official rank.

There is no need for the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince to step forward.

When they returned to the duty room, the Ninth Prince still felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Fourth Brother, we work in the Six Departments, just running errands and helping out. When will we get our own seal?"

The Fourth Prince asked, "Don't you have a private seal?"

From the moment they left the study and started learning their jobs, they had their own private seals.

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "That's different."

The Fourth Prince said, "Don't think so far ahead. This is just your first stop in the ministry tour. Yesterday in front of the Emperor, didn't you ask which government office you were going to after the New Year?"

Seeing that Khan Ama did not arrange any new tasks for the Ninth Prince at the beginning of winter, the Fourth Prince knew that he would most likely be transferred to another department.

I just don't know which department the Emperor will ask the Ninth Prince to go to.

Thinking about the Fourteenth Prince who would also come out of the upper study room after the New Year, the Fourth Prince felt a little worried.

I hope these two don't get together.

"what?"

The Ninth Prince was surprised and asked, "Change every year? I remember that you worked in the Ministry of Revenue for several years, but you didn't change your job every year!"

The Fourth Prince shook his head and said, "Some offices take three to five months. My previous rotation was almost over, so I was transferred back to the Ministry of Revenue."

When the Ninth Prince entered the court at the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Revenue was his first stop. Why did he stop at the Ministry of Revenue?
At least half of the departments should be rotated, and then the personnel should be employed based on their abilities.

After he said this, the Ninth Prince seemed to have some impression of the Fourth Prince's activities in the ministry. He had worked in the Ministry of Justice before, but had never paid attention to him before that.

The Ninth Prince was excited and said, "Can I choose the government office myself? I want to go to the Lifanyuan..."

As for Mongolia, he has long been interested and believes that there is a lot of potential there.

Besides, now that his fifth brother is in the Lifanyuan, he will definitely be more comfortable there than in the Ministry of Revenue.

Speaking of this, he thought of the Tenth Prince again.

The Tenth Prince had been working at the Ministry of Clan Affairs since the end of the thirty-seventh year, and had not moved in the five years since then.

The clan officials are all clan members, and Sunu Beizi is an active person. No one should wrong the Tenth Prince, right?
The Tenth Prince is a prince and a royal prince. No one will bully him unless he is a fool.

But sometimes, if you don't bully someone, you can just keep your distance from them, which can also hurt people.

The Ninth Prince changed his tone and said, "The Zongren Mansion is fine too. I just want to familiarize myself with the various rules of the Zongren clan. Once we open a mansion, we will all be members of the Zongren clan in the future..."
