[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress
Chapter 195
Having been together for more than ten years, Da Gege is Shuwan's junior, a student she carefully taught, and a family member living under the same roof...
Watching Da Gege leave Yongjun Palace, Shuwan's heart is full of worries and blessings for Da Gege.
After Da Gege got married, the palace seemed much deserted.
Shuwan is lazy every day, and can't get excited about doing anything. The fourth elder brother is afraid that she will be bored, so he deliberately finds something for her to do.
"Kang Bao and Xiao Bao are also old, and you have to make arrangements for the children. Especially Kang Bao, he is the eldest son. When he gets married, I will ask the emperor to make him the son! Kang Bao can't be sloppy in choosing Fujin!"
Shuwan knew the seriousness, she hurriedly said: "I've always remembered this! In the past two years, I have also secretly inquired about a few ladies, just don't worry! It just so happens that the Chinese New Year is about to come, and after the year, I will go to dinner, wine and theater. At that time, I took the opportunity to help Kang Bao take a look."
The fourth elder brother nodded, "I will also help Kang Bao to see each other outside. Kang Bao's marriage is different from Da Gege. Da Gege is a girl, and I don't expect her to do anything for the family, so choosing a son-in-law depends only on character. Kang Bao will be the son in the future, so I have to choose a father-in-law who can help him."
Shuwan has always trusted the vision of the fourth elder brother, she nodded and said: "If you have a suitable candidate, let me know, and I will send someone to inquire about the situation of the female relatives."
With the fourth elder brother assigning tasks, Shuwan started to get busy again, and gradually she couldn't take care of her depression.
In addition, Da Gege's face was full of joy when she returned home, and she was also full of smiles when counting her married life. Shuwan saw that she was adapting to the new life very well, so she didn't worry anymore.
The fourth elder brother and Shuwan are worrying about Kang Bao Xiaobao's marriage, and the emperor in the palace is also considering the marriage of his two grandchildren.
At present, the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince is the fourth elder brother, so the emperor pays more attention to the two emperor's grandsons, Kang Bao and Xiaobao.
Now that the children are of marriageable age, the emperor wants to choose Fujin for them personally.So the emperor specially found the fourth elder brother and made it clear to him in advance.
"Does your wife have any girls for the two children?"
The fourth elder brother quickly replied: "A few days ago, my son talked about this matter with Fujin. Fujin has not been idle in the past few years, but there is always no suitable one. It happens that every family will visit each other to drink New Year's wine after the new year. Fujin plans to Quietly look at the appearance and character of the girls of each family, and if there is a suitable one, it will be settled first, and the wedding can wait for a few years."
The emperor nodded repeatedly, "Your daughter-in-law is reliable, and she will never forget the business. If there is a suitable candidate, don't make a decision yet. There is a general election every three years in the palace. I will help Kang Bao and Xiao Bao to pay attention."
Hearing the emperor's words, the fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment.It seems that the emperor wants to interfere in the marriage of the two children, he and Fujin can continue to watch each other, but they are not sure after watching it, the emperor has to see it and think it is good.
It is a great honor for the emperor to decide the marriage.Regardless of whether the fourth elder brother is willing or not, at this moment he can only pretend to be happy and kneel down to thank him.
"Thank you Huang Ama for your kindness. I didn't expect Kang Bao and Xiaobao to have such a blessing."
The emperor smiled and said: "I can never go wrong when I come to point out the marriage! Which one of the prince and princess's marriage is not my decision? My ability to hold red lines is not bad! Let me just say you, how harmonious you and your wife are!"
The fourth elder brother nodded with a smile, disapproving in his heart.
The emperor is not Yuelao, without the ability of Yuelao, his red line is really not very good.
The old eighth and the old eighth daughter-in-law complained to each other, but there was no way to completely separate and understand. The couple tortured each other, let's not mention it for the time being.What about the marriage of the five princesses?It is better not to marry than to marry a husband.
With so many princes, how many pairs of princes and Fujin are truly in love?
The fourth elder brother likes the old thirteen the most, and he has to say something fair, the old thirteen lived with Fujin at ease only after suffering, otherwise he would also be partial to Fujin.
The emperor took a sip of tea, "Your big princess is married, and the husband-in-law you chose is not bad. I heard that she was very red when she got married?"
The fourth elder brother nodded with a smile, "I made the emperor laugh. I, Fujin, have a careful mind, and I am always worried that Da Gege will suffer when he goes to her in-law's house. I wish I could empty out the house and give it to Da Gege as a dowry."
The emperor smiled and said: "Your wife is an honest person. Although she is a little bit jealous, she is not bad-minded. She doesn't care about concubines, and she is willing to treat concubines kindly."
The fourth elder brother quickly echoed, "Huang Ama Shengming, my Fujin has a bean curd mouth with a knife and a heart. Sometimes the words are not very pleasant, but the heart is good."
The emperor nodded, and talked about the fourteenth brother, "I heard that your elder brother got married, and the fourteenth gave a generous gift?"
The fourth elder brother figured out the emperor's intention of asking this matter, and answered honestly: "That's true, the fourteenth brother is very generous. When I put on makeup in private, I gave a lot of things. When it's the day when Da Gege gets married, He sent many congratulatory gifts."
The emperor smiled and said: "The old fourteen has grown up, so I won't go against you."
The age gap between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother is a bit big, and the fourteenth elder brother was unwilling to play with this cold-faced brother when he was a child, but this does not prevent the fourth elder brother from understanding this smelly brother. After all, they are the same mother. Everything you think about is the same thing.
Is it true that the fourteenth elder brother wants to reconcile with the fourth elder brother?
not necessarily.
Is the fourteenth elder brother really growing up?
That's for sure, he's not young anymore, he knows that he can't do things blindly and rampage anymore.
The fourth elder brother knew very well that the fourteenth elder brother's brother and brother Gong was most likely to be played for the emperor. He was unwilling to accept the play, but he had to act according to the fourteenth elder brother's script.
"What Huang Ama said is very true. The fourteenth brother has changed a lot recently. He doesn't care about what he says or does like before. I remember someone said that men mature late, and some people take a long time to settle down after getting married. cause.
The fourteenth brother should be like this. Although he was married before, he lived in the palace and was disciplined by Huang Ama, so he was still like a child.Now that he is out of the palace to open a house, and he is in charge of everything in the family, he understands that it is not easy to establish a family. "
After thinking for a while, the fourth elder brother added, "I think he is already capable of being on his own. Why don't Huang Ama arrange some errands for him? The fourteenth brother has studied and is good at martial arts. Now he has become stable again. Come out to do things and practice. Always good."
It is not out of kindness of the fourth elder brother to make such a suggestion, he knows that the emperor is now suspicious, and he is most afraid that the people below will unite.
No matter what happened to the fourteenth elder brother in the past, he is the fourth elder brother's real brother. As the saying goes, breaking the bones connects the tendons. Who knows whether the fourteenth elder brother really joins the eighth elder brother or pretends to help the eighth elder brother and actually helps the fourth elder brother?
The emperor is also afraid that others will take away his power. If the fourth elder brother puts forward such an opinion, the emperor will definitely think too much.
Sure enough, as soon as the fourth elder brother finished speaking, the emperor fell silent.
The fourth elder brother sat there frankly, allowing the emperor to look at him.
After a while, the emperor said: "You are right. Old Fourteen is good at martial arts and familiar with the art of war. Then send him to the Ministry of War to learn from the ministers of the Ministry of War."
The fourth elder brother was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be self-defeating, and he really got an errand for the fourteenth elder brother, and he was still in the military department!
"The son will replace the fourteenth brother, and first kowtow to Huang Ama to thank Huang Ama for his kindness."
The fourth elder brother kowtowed firmly, with a look of happiness for his younger brother on his face, but in fact he was even more panicked in his heart.
The emperor smiled, "Okay, get up quickly! You really love the old fourteen. If the old fourteen doesn't do well, I won't punish him. I will punish you first!"
The fourth elder brother twitched the corners of his mouth, almost losing his expression.
After talking about the family affairs, the emperor talked about the affairs in the court.
"I read your brochure, you have a bad temper! In one brochure, you joined fifteen ministers, and you want to replace them all. What do you think?"
The fourth elder brother bowed his head and thought for a while. He handed over this memorial half a month ago. The emperor kept it and refused to publish it. He didn't express his opinion, nor did he return it. The fourth elder brother thought that the emperor would pretend not to see it all the time!
The fourth elder brother thought about it for a while, and quickly explained: "Huang Ama, these fifteen officials are all officials from the Ministry of Industry, and my son found out that they abused public power in the Ministry of Industry. Not only that, these 15 people have nothing to do in their positions. Inaction, and ten of them are too old, and they don’t come to the Yamen for half a month in a month. It is a waste of salary for such officials to stay in this position, so it is better to replace them with more capable officials.”
The emperor picked up the memorial on the left hand side, opened it and looked at it.This is the brochure that the fourth elder brother handed over half a month ago. He read it that day and kept it with him all the time.
The emperor didn't speak, the fourth elder brother lowered his head and waited for the emperor's order. He swallowed and felt his throat was a bit dry.
The room was extremely quiet, except for the slightest rustling sound from the emperor occasionally flipping through the memorial.
After a long time, the emperor finally spoke.
He asked the fourth elder brother: "Have you checked the resumes of these fifteen ministers?"
The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "My son checked it."
The emperor said: "Then you should know that these fifteen ministers were not so lazy at the beginning, they also devoted themselves to doing practical things for the court."
The emperor touched the names on the memorial, "And some people have made meritorious service in their ancestors."
The emperor's words have been very thorough. He does not agree with the fourth elder brother's opinion, and does not agree to replace these people.
Why doesn't the fourth elder brother understand what the emperor means?But he really can't understand these old things in the memorial, he must participate in them!
The emperor is aloof and only cares about the overall situation.He has never worked below, and he has no idea what it feels like for these old things to occupy important official positions, do not do practical things, or even stop others from doing things!
No matter how gentle the fourth elder brother pretends to be on the outside, he is actually a vigorous and violent temper in essence.He came out on business not only to gain the respect and favor of the emperor, he really wanted to make achievements and make the world change because of him.
This is also the biggest difference between him and other princes vying for the throne. He has a heart for the court, and he wants to be emperor in order to do more things.
The fourth elder brother guessed and understood the emperor's mind, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"Huang Ama, if these people don't do anything, it will be difficult for the people below to do their jobs. If it is not impossible, my son will not insist on removing them from their official positions."
However, the fourth elder brother is also willing to make some concessions, "Huang Ama, my son also has some inconsiderations. After all, they have made meritorious deeds. It just so happens that they are old, so it is better to take care of them for the rest of their lives, so as to preserve their dignity."
The emperor shook his head helplessly, "You! You are still as stubborn as you were when you were a child!"
The fourth elder brother bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he didn't change it.
The emperor said: "The most important thing in the way of employing people is stability. Only when people's hearts are stable can the court be stable. I have carefully observed your method of employing people, it is too extreme and messy. This official is arranged today, and he will be transferred tomorrow. , let him do something else."
The emperor kept shaking his head, "You! You are too impatient! Everyone is good at different things. He has just figured out this job, but you ask him to do something else, and he has to think again."
The fourth elder brother retorted: "Huang Ama's words are reasonable, but my son thinks that since we need to employ people, we should use smart people who know everything. If one thing is done well, other things will naturally be done well."
The emperor disagreed with his opinion, "No! You have to write it down. The word 'clean, prudent and diligent' shall prevail! As long as this official is honest, loyal and prudent, and diligent in doing things, then he can be an official below the governor. The governor The above officials cannot be used in this way, and the governor must have the ability to command the overall situation.
Some people are indeed smart, but they cannot be honest and honest, and no matter how well they do their jobs, you cannot keep them.If you can't be loyal, then you can't use it! "
The emperor closed the folder and asked the eunuch to hand it to the fourth elder brother.
"Take this book back! Among these few people, there is not much greed. At most, they are not aggressive enough, have no drive, and are not as lazy and slack as you said. Keep them for now! I still say the same thing, The affairs of the court must be safe, and it is not advisable to go to war. You, go back and think about it!"
The fourth elder brother took his memorial respectfully, "Yes, my son will remember Huang Ama's words, and he must think carefully after returning."
Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, the emperor felt much more comfortable.
"Okay, let's go back! You've been quite busy recently, so go back and have a good rest! You don't have any errands to do in the past few days, go back and have a good New Year."
The fourth elder brother thanked the emperor for his kindness with a smile, and when he got out of the palace and got into his carriage, the smile suddenly disappeared.
Back at the palace, the fourth elder brother did not go back to the main room, but went to the study first.
He took out the memorial and looked at it, the emperor did not give him a verdict, the paper was clean, only his correct and sharp handwriting.
The fourth elder brother asked Su Peisheng to lift the cover covering the charcoal basin with an iron hook. He was just about to throw the fold in and burn it, but he took it back after thinking about it, and stuffed it carefully into the drawer.
Back in the main room, the fourth elder brother rubbed his face, smiled and entered the room to talk to Shuwan.
"Huang Ama's grace, he said that I have been too tired recently, let me take a break during the Chinese New Year. I will go to the yamen tomorrow to explain the matter at hand, and then I can stay at home with you and the children all the time .”
Shuwan came over to help him take off his cloak and hat, she looked at Si elder brother's face, and smiled.
"What do you mean? Are you not happy that I am resting with you?"
Shuwan smiled and said: "Happy, why am I not happy? Tonight I will open a bottle of Nurhong and drink a couple of cups."
Shuwan hugged the cloak and put it on the shelf, the fourth elder brother chased over and said: "You and I have been married for many years, and I still don't know you? You are not happy, you are mocking me!"
Shuwan leaned on the shelf and really laughed out loud, "Since you know me, don't I know you? Although you are smiling, the corners of your mouth are stretched. I think the emperor wants you to rest, but you don't Do it!"
Shuwan smiled and pinched the fourth brother's earlobe, "Good brother, why are you upset? Just tell me! Let me coax you!"
The fourth elder brother patted her hand away uncomfortably, "Don't make trouble, come and sit down, let's have a good talk."
The fourth elder brother explained in detail how the fourteenth elder brother got an errand, and the emperor disagreed with his way of employing people.
Shuwan nodded after listening, "So that's the case, no wonder you are unhappy, if it were me, I would be unhappy too."
The fourth elder brother complained: "The emperor is not like when he was young, looking forward and backward. What do you do to support so many officials? Of course they are made to work! Those old things who are not capable of occupying the latrine and not shitting, what are they doing?" ?”
Shuwan patted him on the back, "Okay, okay! My brother is not angry anymore!"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and sighed, "The emperor has become more lenient in recent years. His old man said that the election of officials should be 'clean and diligent'. Those officials are rich in greed, and the emperor has never seen them sent!"
The fourth elder brother asked her, "You come to judge. Is it right for me to use people, or is it right for the emperor?"
Shuwan lowered her head and thought for a while, "Well... you all have a reason, right! 'Qing Shenqin' has existed since ancient times, and most of the kings of the past have used this method, and this method has its own reasons. What about you, You are much bolder in employing people. Nian Gengyao is so arrogant, you can still use them."
Speaking of this matter, Shuwan gave the fourth elder brother a blank look, "You left him alone for a while, and now he bowed down and made a small apology, and you secretly rewarded him with many things, and sent people to Sichuan secretly without telling me. Tsk tsk tsk , you are really a generous boss!"
The fourth elder brother coughed awkwardly, "I didn't deliberately hide it from you, it's because you have always ignored the things ahead!"
Shuwan sneered, "I'll talk about this later, let's talk about something more important first. As for you, you are bold in employing people. As long as the person is capable, poor in character, and a little bit greedy, you don't care, and you will even condone it. And you I don't like to put a person in a certain position all the time, and you want to move after a while.
The emperor's method of employing people is safe, and your method of employing people is efficient.However, everything has two sides, and there are advantages and disadvantages at the same time.The emperor's method is that the operation is too slow, honesty, loyalty and diligence may not be able to accomplish things, and may delay things.
Your method also has shortcomings. If a wise person in a high position wants to do bad things, it is much worse than a hundred mediocre people doing bad things.And there are things like repairing river embankments that need to be done by people who are good at it. Smart people may not understand this.You let a smart man catch thieves and try cases today, and let him build river embankments tomorrow, and change positions frequently, like moving a brick, move him wherever he needs it, he may not be able to do everything Do it clearly. "
The fourth elder brother nodded, "What you said makes sense."
Shuwan persuaded him to look away, "There is no perfect way to employ people, we can only try to avoid all kinds of risks, and it is impossible to achieve perfection.
you!Just thinking too much, too anxious!
Now the emperor is the master of the house, where is it your turn to dictate?You just listen to what the emperor says, and you try your best to do it when you are on business. If you can't do it, it's because of the constraints of all parties, and you can't blame you. "
"Before doing things, you must make up your mind and have the confidence to overcome all difficulties. If you think like you and always find reasons for yourself, things will definitely not work!"
Shuwan was laughed out of anger, she kindly persuaded the fourth elder brother to think about it and not always attribute the fault to herself, but he turned back and said that she was not determined.
"You have determination and confidence, but the emperor doesn't need you anymore, what's the use of your determination and confidence?" Shuwan gave him a white look, "You have to listen to whoever you eat! Now we all Eat the emperor's meal, of course you have to listen to the emperor! Whatever the emperor says, don't be stubborn, let alone fight against the emperor!"
Shuwan gave him an example, "Kang Bao doesn't like the layout of our house, he wants to pay for it himself, smash up the front yard and rear garden of our main yard and rebuild it, will you agree?"
The fourth elder brother frowned, "I will break his legs! The little bastard has turned upside down, he can mess with his own yard, why bother with my mansion!"
Shuwan smiled and said: "That's it! You don't want Kang Bao to torment your palace, and the emperor doesn't want you to toss his ministers. They are old people who have been used for many years, and the emperor has used his feelings. You Of course, the Emperor is not happy to suddenly change the rules of the emperor! How can it be your turn to be the master now!"
The fourth elder brother came to a sudden, no wonder the emperor let him rest for a while, no wonder the emperor still refused to replace them knowing that those people were corrupt and incompetent.The emperor may not disagree with his method of employing people, he is just warning the fourth elder brother not to stretch his hands too far.
"I just casually mentioned today that the fourteenth brother should be sent to the Ministry of War. Huang Ama probably wanted to warn me, so he readily agreed to send the fourteenth brother to the Ministry of War!"
Shuwan nodded, "It should be! The old man thinks you are meddling!"
The fourth elder brother sighed: "It's cheap for him! The old thirteen doesn't even have such a good job!"
Old Shisan was imprisoned back then, although the emperor released him soon and knew that Lao Shisan had no other intentions, but since then, the emperor has treated Lao Shisan much colder and has never arranged any errands for him.
The fourth elder brother said: "The old thirteen has always been an idle prince, and has never been out on business."
The fourth elder brother felt sorry for his younger brother, and he felt wronged for the thirteenth elder brother.
Shuwan echoed: "Yes! Thirteenth Brother is just drinking and going out to hunt now. He looks at ease, but he is also bored in his heart."
"Old Fourteen went to the Ministry of War, and Old Eight's side is even more extraordinary."
Shuwan glanced in the direction of the eighth elder brother's mansion, "The eighth elder brother is very clear that he has fallen out of favor, and it is not easy for him to regain favor. Now the fourteenth brother has the opportunity to enter the military department, and it looks very decent. I think the eighth elder brother The resources should be directed to the fourteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother's goal of following the eighth elder brother these years has been achieved."
Hearing Shuwan's analysis, the fourth elder brother became even more depressed. He casually mentioned that he wanted to make the emperor more careful, but ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Shuwan said: "I'll send someone to deliver the post to the Fourteenth Brother. Tomorrow you go to the yamen to hand it over. The day after tomorrow, please invite the Fourteenth Brother over for a drink. You tell him about the emperor's arrangement for him to enter the Ministry of War."
"That's exactly what I mean. No matter whether I really help him find a job or not, if the job is done, I have to sell it well and make him owe me a favor."
Shuwan smiled and said: "You are really fussy! If it were me, I wouldn't need him to remember my favor. Anyway, he is my younger brother, so I will use the name of my elder brother to point out my younger brother, and call him to my house to give some instructions. Let him do his job well and don't disappoint the emperor.
You brothers are like roundworms in each other's stomach, who doesn't know who!What you said is all hype, and the fourteenth brother also knows that you may not have good intentions to ask for errands for him.If it were me, I would tell the truth, I just said something casually at that time, who would have thought that the emperor would agree! "
The fourth elder brother said: "It's even worse that way! I always want to get back some of my money!"
"How big is your brother's favor? He wrote down this favor, when will he pay it back? If he doesn't repay the favor, what can you do? Why don't you sell it to Er Niang, and Er Niang can even praise you .”
Shuwan said in her heart: That little brother of yours!No one can count on it!
The fourth elder brother wrote a post that night, and sent someone to the fourteenth elder brother's house early the next morning.Then he wrote another letter to the thirteenth brother, and wrote several eloquent articles.After a lot of explanation in the letter, he told Brother Thirteen not to worry too much.This time the [-]th elder brother got the job by chance, if there is a good opportunity, of course he will follow the thirteenth elder brother first.
The thirteenth elder brother shook his head and laughed when he read the letter. His fourth brother was too careful, and he was not such a narrow-minded person.Isn't it just an errand?If there is, there is, if not, there is none. Anyway, he has food and drink, so he will never be hungry in this life.
The thirteenth elder brother replied a letter, telling the fourth elder brother not to think too much.Who the emperor sends on a mission has his own considerations, and it cannot be controlled by others.In addition, the fourteenth brother is familiar with the art of war and has high martial arts skills. It is suitable for him to go to the military department to practice.
The thirteenth elder brother was very comforted in his heart, and the fourth elder brother was very relieved after reading his brother's letter.
It's better to be the thirteenth brother, ten or eight of such brothers are not too many.
Besides, elder brother fourteen, he was surprised to receive the invitation from elder brother fourteen.He does have the intention of repairing the relationship with the fourth brother, but he doesn't care about the result, as long as he acts like he is close to his brother for outsiders to see.
The fourteenth elder brother never thought that his own elder brother would be so disregarding the past, he just gave him a generous gift, and the fourth brother forgave him!
The fourteenth elder brother came to Prince Yong's mansion, and he didn't have an empty hand, and took a few strings of Buddhist beads as small gifts.
The servants welcomed him into the study, and the fourteenth elder brother entered the door and bowed his hands to his elder brother to salute.
"Fourth brother, why did you ask me to come over?"
The fourth elder brother smiled at him, and the fourteenth elder brother immediately became vigilant.
Hiss, his fourth brother smiled at him!Something is wrong!
The fourteenth elder brother mentioned being extremely careful, the fourth elder brother understood from his expression, and the stinky brother was wary of him!
The smile on the corner of the fourth elder brother's mouth couldn't hold back anymore, he thought of Shuwan's words, and deeply agreed.
He and the old fourteen who don't know who?One expression and one action can guess the other party's mind.The fourth elder brother felt boring, why should he pretend to be a loving brother?
Anyway, he said it was for the good of the old fourteen, but the old fourteen didn't believe it either.
The fourth elder brother lowered his face, too lazy to smile at his younger brother.
"I called you here because I have something to tell you."
Fourteenth elder brother thought to himself: Oh, I just pretended and then I don’t want to pretend anymore, really, I knew it was no good to call me here, with a stinky face, I must be punished!How old am I, how old is my son, and he still trains me!
The fourteenth elder brother smirked, "Fourth brother, just tell me what you want! My younger brother listens to you!"
The fourth elder brother said: "A few days ago, I went to the palace to meet Huang Ama, and when we were chatting, I mentioned that you added makeup to my big princess."
Brother Fourteen hurriedly said: "My niece, of course I love her, adding something is nothing!"
The fourth elder brother nodded, "That's what I said too, you are her own uncle, if you don't give her good things, you can't take advantage of outsiders!"
The word "outsider" had a lot of meaning in it, and Elder Fourteen moved his butt uncomfortably.
Humph, this is me!Who is the outsider?Starlings, they chant!
The fourth elder brother said again: "I happened to talk about you with the emperor. I thought that you have been studying and practicing martial arts all these years, and you have never done any serious errands. I thought that you are old and you should practice it, so I mentioned it to the emperor. With that said, I asked the emperor if he had any errands for you to practice.
Coincidentally, the emperor thinks you are suitable to go to the Ministry of War.Although there is no decree yet, it is impossible for the emperor to forget you.I think in a few more days, the emperor will arrange for you to run errands. "
Brother Fourteen was stunned. He didn't expect Brother Four to call him over, and there was such a good thing!
"This... this..." Elder Fourteen couldn't believe it, "With such a good thing, why doesn't Fourth Brother let Thirteenth Brother go?"
It can't be that there is a trap there, you want to trap me, right?
The fourth elder brother didn't understand what the fourteenth elder brother meant, his face darkened.
"You don't want to go, do you? Then I will go into the palace tomorrow and ask the emperor, can I change to the thirteenth brother!"
Elder Fourteen was reluctant to part with this rare opportunity, he quickly smiled and said: "Don't, don't, don't worry, Fourth Brother, I just... just ask."
The fourth elder brother said angrily: "I'm not like you! I don't have so many twists and turns in my heart! At that time, I just mentioned it casually, and I didn't beg the emperor to give you an errand. I asked the emperor casually, and the emperor agreed casually. If you want to thank, thank the emperor!
snort!I have seen through you, being nice to you is like beating a dog with a meat bun, never coming back! "
The fourteenth elder brother smiled embarrassingly, "Fourth brother, don't say that, I know that fourth brother misses me! I am the one who relied on fourth brother's kindness to me and acted recklessly!"
Hearing these words, the fourth elder brother felt much more at ease.
His heart softened, and he instructed earnestly: "When you go to the Ministry of War, don't play the prince's temper. You have never done errands. Although you are talented, you don't understand official communication and the rules of dealing with things. The books teach you stuff, very different from what you actually use.
When you arrive at the Ministry of War, listen more and watch more, and talk less.Say too much and make mistakes, and it is easy to be caught by others. Be careful that something will happen and they will take you on the crock.You go there first to find out the details, and then it's not too late to do something.Go to the yamen to put away your bad temper, build a good relationship with the people below, no one will spoil you like me! "
Fourteenth elder brother felt warm in his heart, after all he was his real brother.If he said every word was for his own good, and Tete asked for an errand for him, he would not believe it.Such a vicious person is like his fourth brother!
Watching Da Gege leave Yongjun Palace, Shuwan's heart is full of worries and blessings for Da Gege.
After Da Gege got married, the palace seemed much deserted.
Shuwan is lazy every day, and can't get excited about doing anything. The fourth elder brother is afraid that she will be bored, so he deliberately finds something for her to do.
"Kang Bao and Xiao Bao are also old, and you have to make arrangements for the children. Especially Kang Bao, he is the eldest son. When he gets married, I will ask the emperor to make him the son! Kang Bao can't be sloppy in choosing Fujin!"
Shuwan knew the seriousness, she hurriedly said: "I've always remembered this! In the past two years, I have also secretly inquired about a few ladies, just don't worry! It just so happens that the Chinese New Year is about to come, and after the year, I will go to dinner, wine and theater. At that time, I took the opportunity to help Kang Bao take a look."
The fourth elder brother nodded, "I will also help Kang Bao to see each other outside. Kang Bao's marriage is different from Da Gege. Da Gege is a girl, and I don't expect her to do anything for the family, so choosing a son-in-law depends only on character. Kang Bao will be the son in the future, so I have to choose a father-in-law who can help him."
Shuwan has always trusted the vision of the fourth elder brother, she nodded and said: "If you have a suitable candidate, let me know, and I will send someone to inquire about the situation of the female relatives."
With the fourth elder brother assigning tasks, Shuwan started to get busy again, and gradually she couldn't take care of her depression.
In addition, Da Gege's face was full of joy when she returned home, and she was also full of smiles when counting her married life. Shuwan saw that she was adapting to the new life very well, so she didn't worry anymore.
The fourth elder brother and Shuwan are worrying about Kang Bao Xiaobao's marriage, and the emperor in the palace is also considering the marriage of his two grandchildren.
At present, the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince is the fourth elder brother, so the emperor pays more attention to the two emperor's grandsons, Kang Bao and Xiaobao.
Now that the children are of marriageable age, the emperor wants to choose Fujin for them personally.So the emperor specially found the fourth elder brother and made it clear to him in advance.
"Does your wife have any girls for the two children?"
The fourth elder brother quickly replied: "A few days ago, my son talked about this matter with Fujin. Fujin has not been idle in the past few years, but there is always no suitable one. It happens that every family will visit each other to drink New Year's wine after the new year. Fujin plans to Quietly look at the appearance and character of the girls of each family, and if there is a suitable one, it will be settled first, and the wedding can wait for a few years."
The emperor nodded repeatedly, "Your daughter-in-law is reliable, and she will never forget the business. If there is a suitable candidate, don't make a decision yet. There is a general election every three years in the palace. I will help Kang Bao and Xiao Bao to pay attention."
Hearing the emperor's words, the fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment.It seems that the emperor wants to interfere in the marriage of the two children, he and Fujin can continue to watch each other, but they are not sure after watching it, the emperor has to see it and think it is good.
It is a great honor for the emperor to decide the marriage.Regardless of whether the fourth elder brother is willing or not, at this moment he can only pretend to be happy and kneel down to thank him.
"Thank you Huang Ama for your kindness. I didn't expect Kang Bao and Xiaobao to have such a blessing."
The emperor smiled and said: "I can never go wrong when I come to point out the marriage! Which one of the prince and princess's marriage is not my decision? My ability to hold red lines is not bad! Let me just say you, how harmonious you and your wife are!"
The fourth elder brother nodded with a smile, disapproving in his heart.
The emperor is not Yuelao, without the ability of Yuelao, his red line is really not very good.
The old eighth and the old eighth daughter-in-law complained to each other, but there was no way to completely separate and understand. The couple tortured each other, let's not mention it for the time being.What about the marriage of the five princesses?It is better not to marry than to marry a husband.
With so many princes, how many pairs of princes and Fujin are truly in love?
The fourth elder brother likes the old thirteen the most, and he has to say something fair, the old thirteen lived with Fujin at ease only after suffering, otherwise he would also be partial to Fujin.
The emperor took a sip of tea, "Your big princess is married, and the husband-in-law you chose is not bad. I heard that she was very red when she got married?"
The fourth elder brother nodded with a smile, "I made the emperor laugh. I, Fujin, have a careful mind, and I am always worried that Da Gege will suffer when he goes to her in-law's house. I wish I could empty out the house and give it to Da Gege as a dowry."
The emperor smiled and said: "Your wife is an honest person. Although she is a little bit jealous, she is not bad-minded. She doesn't care about concubines, and she is willing to treat concubines kindly."
The fourth elder brother quickly echoed, "Huang Ama Shengming, my Fujin has a bean curd mouth with a knife and a heart. Sometimes the words are not very pleasant, but the heart is good."
The emperor nodded, and talked about the fourteenth brother, "I heard that your elder brother got married, and the fourteenth gave a generous gift?"
The fourth elder brother figured out the emperor's intention of asking this matter, and answered honestly: "That's true, the fourteenth brother is very generous. When I put on makeup in private, I gave a lot of things. When it's the day when Da Gege gets married, He sent many congratulatory gifts."
The emperor smiled and said: "The old fourteen has grown up, so I won't go against you."
The age gap between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother is a bit big, and the fourteenth elder brother was unwilling to play with this cold-faced brother when he was a child, but this does not prevent the fourth elder brother from understanding this smelly brother. After all, they are the same mother. Everything you think about is the same thing.
Is it true that the fourteenth elder brother wants to reconcile with the fourth elder brother?
not necessarily.
Is the fourteenth elder brother really growing up?
That's for sure, he's not young anymore, he knows that he can't do things blindly and rampage anymore.
The fourth elder brother knew very well that the fourteenth elder brother's brother and brother Gong was most likely to be played for the emperor. He was unwilling to accept the play, but he had to act according to the fourteenth elder brother's script.
"What Huang Ama said is very true. The fourteenth brother has changed a lot recently. He doesn't care about what he says or does like before. I remember someone said that men mature late, and some people take a long time to settle down after getting married. cause.
The fourteenth brother should be like this. Although he was married before, he lived in the palace and was disciplined by Huang Ama, so he was still like a child.Now that he is out of the palace to open a house, and he is in charge of everything in the family, he understands that it is not easy to establish a family. "
After thinking for a while, the fourth elder brother added, "I think he is already capable of being on his own. Why don't Huang Ama arrange some errands for him? The fourteenth brother has studied and is good at martial arts. Now he has become stable again. Come out to do things and practice. Always good."
It is not out of kindness of the fourth elder brother to make such a suggestion, he knows that the emperor is now suspicious, and he is most afraid that the people below will unite.
No matter what happened to the fourteenth elder brother in the past, he is the fourth elder brother's real brother. As the saying goes, breaking the bones connects the tendons. Who knows whether the fourteenth elder brother really joins the eighth elder brother or pretends to help the eighth elder brother and actually helps the fourth elder brother?
The emperor is also afraid that others will take away his power. If the fourth elder brother puts forward such an opinion, the emperor will definitely think too much.
Sure enough, as soon as the fourth elder brother finished speaking, the emperor fell silent.
The fourth elder brother sat there frankly, allowing the emperor to look at him.
After a while, the emperor said: "You are right. Old Fourteen is good at martial arts and familiar with the art of war. Then send him to the Ministry of War to learn from the ministers of the Ministry of War."
The fourth elder brother was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be self-defeating, and he really got an errand for the fourteenth elder brother, and he was still in the military department!
"The son will replace the fourteenth brother, and first kowtow to Huang Ama to thank Huang Ama for his kindness."
The fourth elder brother kowtowed firmly, with a look of happiness for his younger brother on his face, but in fact he was even more panicked in his heart.
The emperor smiled, "Okay, get up quickly! You really love the old fourteen. If the old fourteen doesn't do well, I won't punish him. I will punish you first!"
The fourth elder brother twitched the corners of his mouth, almost losing his expression.
After talking about the family affairs, the emperor talked about the affairs in the court.
"I read your brochure, you have a bad temper! In one brochure, you joined fifteen ministers, and you want to replace them all. What do you think?"
The fourth elder brother bowed his head and thought for a while. He handed over this memorial half a month ago. The emperor kept it and refused to publish it. He didn't express his opinion, nor did he return it. The fourth elder brother thought that the emperor would pretend not to see it all the time!
The fourth elder brother thought about it for a while, and quickly explained: "Huang Ama, these fifteen officials are all officials from the Ministry of Industry, and my son found out that they abused public power in the Ministry of Industry. Not only that, these 15 people have nothing to do in their positions. Inaction, and ten of them are too old, and they don’t come to the Yamen for half a month in a month. It is a waste of salary for such officials to stay in this position, so it is better to replace them with more capable officials.”
The emperor picked up the memorial on the left hand side, opened it and looked at it.This is the brochure that the fourth elder brother handed over half a month ago. He read it that day and kept it with him all the time.
The emperor didn't speak, the fourth elder brother lowered his head and waited for the emperor's order. He swallowed and felt his throat was a bit dry.
The room was extremely quiet, except for the slightest rustling sound from the emperor occasionally flipping through the memorial.
After a long time, the emperor finally spoke.
He asked the fourth elder brother: "Have you checked the resumes of these fifteen ministers?"
The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "My son checked it."
The emperor said: "Then you should know that these fifteen ministers were not so lazy at the beginning, they also devoted themselves to doing practical things for the court."
The emperor touched the names on the memorial, "And some people have made meritorious service in their ancestors."
The emperor's words have been very thorough. He does not agree with the fourth elder brother's opinion, and does not agree to replace these people.
Why doesn't the fourth elder brother understand what the emperor means?But he really can't understand these old things in the memorial, he must participate in them!
The emperor is aloof and only cares about the overall situation.He has never worked below, and he has no idea what it feels like for these old things to occupy important official positions, do not do practical things, or even stop others from doing things!
No matter how gentle the fourth elder brother pretends to be on the outside, he is actually a vigorous and violent temper in essence.He came out on business not only to gain the respect and favor of the emperor, he really wanted to make achievements and make the world change because of him.
This is also the biggest difference between him and other princes vying for the throne. He has a heart for the court, and he wants to be emperor in order to do more things.
The fourth elder brother guessed and understood the emperor's mind, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"Huang Ama, if these people don't do anything, it will be difficult for the people below to do their jobs. If it is not impossible, my son will not insist on removing them from their official positions."
However, the fourth elder brother is also willing to make some concessions, "Huang Ama, my son also has some inconsiderations. After all, they have made meritorious deeds. It just so happens that they are old, so it is better to take care of them for the rest of their lives, so as to preserve their dignity."
The emperor shook his head helplessly, "You! You are still as stubborn as you were when you were a child!"
The fourth elder brother bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he didn't change it.
The emperor said: "The most important thing in the way of employing people is stability. Only when people's hearts are stable can the court be stable. I have carefully observed your method of employing people, it is too extreme and messy. This official is arranged today, and he will be transferred tomorrow. , let him do something else."
The emperor kept shaking his head, "You! You are too impatient! Everyone is good at different things. He has just figured out this job, but you ask him to do something else, and he has to think again."
The fourth elder brother retorted: "Huang Ama's words are reasonable, but my son thinks that since we need to employ people, we should use smart people who know everything. If one thing is done well, other things will naturally be done well."
The emperor disagreed with his opinion, "No! You have to write it down. The word 'clean, prudent and diligent' shall prevail! As long as this official is honest, loyal and prudent, and diligent in doing things, then he can be an official below the governor. The governor The above officials cannot be used in this way, and the governor must have the ability to command the overall situation.
Some people are indeed smart, but they cannot be honest and honest, and no matter how well they do their jobs, you cannot keep them.If you can't be loyal, then you can't use it! "
The emperor closed the folder and asked the eunuch to hand it to the fourth elder brother.
"Take this book back! Among these few people, there is not much greed. At most, they are not aggressive enough, have no drive, and are not as lazy and slack as you said. Keep them for now! I still say the same thing, The affairs of the court must be safe, and it is not advisable to go to war. You, go back and think about it!"
The fourth elder brother took his memorial respectfully, "Yes, my son will remember Huang Ama's words, and he must think carefully after returning."
Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, the emperor felt much more comfortable.
"Okay, let's go back! You've been quite busy recently, so go back and have a good rest! You don't have any errands to do in the past few days, go back and have a good New Year."
The fourth elder brother thanked the emperor for his kindness with a smile, and when he got out of the palace and got into his carriage, the smile suddenly disappeared.
Back at the palace, the fourth elder brother did not go back to the main room, but went to the study first.
He took out the memorial and looked at it, the emperor did not give him a verdict, the paper was clean, only his correct and sharp handwriting.
The fourth elder brother asked Su Peisheng to lift the cover covering the charcoal basin with an iron hook. He was just about to throw the fold in and burn it, but he took it back after thinking about it, and stuffed it carefully into the drawer.
Back in the main room, the fourth elder brother rubbed his face, smiled and entered the room to talk to Shuwan.
"Huang Ama's grace, he said that I have been too tired recently, let me take a break during the Chinese New Year. I will go to the yamen tomorrow to explain the matter at hand, and then I can stay at home with you and the children all the time .”
Shuwan came over to help him take off his cloak and hat, she looked at Si elder brother's face, and smiled.
"What do you mean? Are you not happy that I am resting with you?"
Shuwan smiled and said: "Happy, why am I not happy? Tonight I will open a bottle of Nurhong and drink a couple of cups."
Shuwan hugged the cloak and put it on the shelf, the fourth elder brother chased over and said: "You and I have been married for many years, and I still don't know you? You are not happy, you are mocking me!"
Shuwan leaned on the shelf and really laughed out loud, "Since you know me, don't I know you? Although you are smiling, the corners of your mouth are stretched. I think the emperor wants you to rest, but you don't Do it!"
Shuwan smiled and pinched the fourth brother's earlobe, "Good brother, why are you upset? Just tell me! Let me coax you!"
The fourth elder brother patted her hand away uncomfortably, "Don't make trouble, come and sit down, let's have a good talk."
The fourth elder brother explained in detail how the fourteenth elder brother got an errand, and the emperor disagreed with his way of employing people.
Shuwan nodded after listening, "So that's the case, no wonder you are unhappy, if it were me, I would be unhappy too."
The fourth elder brother complained: "The emperor is not like when he was young, looking forward and backward. What do you do to support so many officials? Of course they are made to work! Those old things who are not capable of occupying the latrine and not shitting, what are they doing?" ?”
Shuwan patted him on the back, "Okay, okay! My brother is not angry anymore!"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and sighed, "The emperor has become more lenient in recent years. His old man said that the election of officials should be 'clean and diligent'. Those officials are rich in greed, and the emperor has never seen them sent!"
The fourth elder brother asked her, "You come to judge. Is it right for me to use people, or is it right for the emperor?"
Shuwan lowered her head and thought for a while, "Well... you all have a reason, right! 'Qing Shenqin' has existed since ancient times, and most of the kings of the past have used this method, and this method has its own reasons. What about you, You are much bolder in employing people. Nian Gengyao is so arrogant, you can still use them."
Speaking of this matter, Shuwan gave the fourth elder brother a blank look, "You left him alone for a while, and now he bowed down and made a small apology, and you secretly rewarded him with many things, and sent people to Sichuan secretly without telling me. Tsk tsk tsk , you are really a generous boss!"
The fourth elder brother coughed awkwardly, "I didn't deliberately hide it from you, it's because you have always ignored the things ahead!"
Shuwan sneered, "I'll talk about this later, let's talk about something more important first. As for you, you are bold in employing people. As long as the person is capable, poor in character, and a little bit greedy, you don't care, and you will even condone it. And you I don't like to put a person in a certain position all the time, and you want to move after a while.
The emperor's method of employing people is safe, and your method of employing people is efficient.However, everything has two sides, and there are advantages and disadvantages at the same time.The emperor's method is that the operation is too slow, honesty, loyalty and diligence may not be able to accomplish things, and may delay things.
Your method also has shortcomings. If a wise person in a high position wants to do bad things, it is much worse than a hundred mediocre people doing bad things.And there are things like repairing river embankments that need to be done by people who are good at it. Smart people may not understand this.You let a smart man catch thieves and try cases today, and let him build river embankments tomorrow, and change positions frequently, like moving a brick, move him wherever he needs it, he may not be able to do everything Do it clearly. "
The fourth elder brother nodded, "What you said makes sense."
Shuwan persuaded him to look away, "There is no perfect way to employ people, we can only try to avoid all kinds of risks, and it is impossible to achieve perfection.
you!Just thinking too much, too anxious!
Now the emperor is the master of the house, where is it your turn to dictate?You just listen to what the emperor says, and you try your best to do it when you are on business. If you can't do it, it's because of the constraints of all parties, and you can't blame you. "
"Before doing things, you must make up your mind and have the confidence to overcome all difficulties. If you think like you and always find reasons for yourself, things will definitely not work!"
Shuwan was laughed out of anger, she kindly persuaded the fourth elder brother to think about it and not always attribute the fault to herself, but he turned back and said that she was not determined.
"You have determination and confidence, but the emperor doesn't need you anymore, what's the use of your determination and confidence?" Shuwan gave him a white look, "You have to listen to whoever you eat! Now we all Eat the emperor's meal, of course you have to listen to the emperor! Whatever the emperor says, don't be stubborn, let alone fight against the emperor!"
Shuwan gave him an example, "Kang Bao doesn't like the layout of our house, he wants to pay for it himself, smash up the front yard and rear garden of our main yard and rebuild it, will you agree?"
The fourth elder brother frowned, "I will break his legs! The little bastard has turned upside down, he can mess with his own yard, why bother with my mansion!"
Shuwan smiled and said: "That's it! You don't want Kang Bao to torment your palace, and the emperor doesn't want you to toss his ministers. They are old people who have been used for many years, and the emperor has used his feelings. You Of course, the Emperor is not happy to suddenly change the rules of the emperor! How can it be your turn to be the master now!"
The fourth elder brother came to a sudden, no wonder the emperor let him rest for a while, no wonder the emperor still refused to replace them knowing that those people were corrupt and incompetent.The emperor may not disagree with his method of employing people, he is just warning the fourth elder brother not to stretch his hands too far.
"I just casually mentioned today that the fourteenth brother should be sent to the Ministry of War. Huang Ama probably wanted to warn me, so he readily agreed to send the fourteenth brother to the Ministry of War!"
Shuwan nodded, "It should be! The old man thinks you are meddling!"
The fourth elder brother sighed: "It's cheap for him! The old thirteen doesn't even have such a good job!"
Old Shisan was imprisoned back then, although the emperor released him soon and knew that Lao Shisan had no other intentions, but since then, the emperor has treated Lao Shisan much colder and has never arranged any errands for him.
The fourth elder brother said: "The old thirteen has always been an idle prince, and has never been out on business."
The fourth elder brother felt sorry for his younger brother, and he felt wronged for the thirteenth elder brother.
Shuwan echoed: "Yes! Thirteenth Brother is just drinking and going out to hunt now. He looks at ease, but he is also bored in his heart."
"Old Fourteen went to the Ministry of War, and Old Eight's side is even more extraordinary."
Shuwan glanced in the direction of the eighth elder brother's mansion, "The eighth elder brother is very clear that he has fallen out of favor, and it is not easy for him to regain favor. Now the fourteenth brother has the opportunity to enter the military department, and it looks very decent. I think the eighth elder brother The resources should be directed to the fourteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother's goal of following the eighth elder brother these years has been achieved."
Hearing Shuwan's analysis, the fourth elder brother became even more depressed. He casually mentioned that he wanted to make the emperor more careful, but ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Shuwan said: "I'll send someone to deliver the post to the Fourteenth Brother. Tomorrow you go to the yamen to hand it over. The day after tomorrow, please invite the Fourteenth Brother over for a drink. You tell him about the emperor's arrangement for him to enter the Ministry of War."
"That's exactly what I mean. No matter whether I really help him find a job or not, if the job is done, I have to sell it well and make him owe me a favor."
Shuwan smiled and said: "You are really fussy! If it were me, I wouldn't need him to remember my favor. Anyway, he is my younger brother, so I will use the name of my elder brother to point out my younger brother, and call him to my house to give some instructions. Let him do his job well and don't disappoint the emperor.
You brothers are like roundworms in each other's stomach, who doesn't know who!What you said is all hype, and the fourteenth brother also knows that you may not have good intentions to ask for errands for him.If it were me, I would tell the truth, I just said something casually at that time, who would have thought that the emperor would agree! "
The fourth elder brother said: "It's even worse that way! I always want to get back some of my money!"
"How big is your brother's favor? He wrote down this favor, when will he pay it back? If he doesn't repay the favor, what can you do? Why don't you sell it to Er Niang, and Er Niang can even praise you .”
Shuwan said in her heart: That little brother of yours!No one can count on it!
The fourth elder brother wrote a post that night, and sent someone to the fourteenth elder brother's house early the next morning.Then he wrote another letter to the thirteenth brother, and wrote several eloquent articles.After a lot of explanation in the letter, he told Brother Thirteen not to worry too much.This time the [-]th elder brother got the job by chance, if there is a good opportunity, of course he will follow the thirteenth elder brother first.
The thirteenth elder brother shook his head and laughed when he read the letter. His fourth brother was too careful, and he was not such a narrow-minded person.Isn't it just an errand?If there is, there is, if not, there is none. Anyway, he has food and drink, so he will never be hungry in this life.
The thirteenth elder brother replied a letter, telling the fourth elder brother not to think too much.Who the emperor sends on a mission has his own considerations, and it cannot be controlled by others.In addition, the fourteenth brother is familiar with the art of war and has high martial arts skills. It is suitable for him to go to the military department to practice.
The thirteenth elder brother was very comforted in his heart, and the fourth elder brother was very relieved after reading his brother's letter.
It's better to be the thirteenth brother, ten or eight of such brothers are not too many.
Besides, elder brother fourteen, he was surprised to receive the invitation from elder brother fourteen.He does have the intention of repairing the relationship with the fourth brother, but he doesn't care about the result, as long as he acts like he is close to his brother for outsiders to see.
The fourteenth elder brother never thought that his own elder brother would be so disregarding the past, he just gave him a generous gift, and the fourth brother forgave him!
The fourteenth elder brother came to Prince Yong's mansion, and he didn't have an empty hand, and took a few strings of Buddhist beads as small gifts.
The servants welcomed him into the study, and the fourteenth elder brother entered the door and bowed his hands to his elder brother to salute.
"Fourth brother, why did you ask me to come over?"
The fourth elder brother smiled at him, and the fourteenth elder brother immediately became vigilant.
Hiss, his fourth brother smiled at him!Something is wrong!
The fourteenth elder brother mentioned being extremely careful, the fourth elder brother understood from his expression, and the stinky brother was wary of him!
The smile on the corner of the fourth elder brother's mouth couldn't hold back anymore, he thought of Shuwan's words, and deeply agreed.
He and the old fourteen who don't know who?One expression and one action can guess the other party's mind.The fourth elder brother felt boring, why should he pretend to be a loving brother?
Anyway, he said it was for the good of the old fourteen, but the old fourteen didn't believe it either.
The fourth elder brother lowered his face, too lazy to smile at his younger brother.
"I called you here because I have something to tell you."
Fourteenth elder brother thought to himself: Oh, I just pretended and then I don’t want to pretend anymore, really, I knew it was no good to call me here, with a stinky face, I must be punished!How old am I, how old is my son, and he still trains me!
The fourteenth elder brother smirked, "Fourth brother, just tell me what you want! My younger brother listens to you!"
The fourth elder brother said: "A few days ago, I went to the palace to meet Huang Ama, and when we were chatting, I mentioned that you added makeup to my big princess."
Brother Fourteen hurriedly said: "My niece, of course I love her, adding something is nothing!"
The fourth elder brother nodded, "That's what I said too, you are her own uncle, if you don't give her good things, you can't take advantage of outsiders!"
The word "outsider" had a lot of meaning in it, and Elder Fourteen moved his butt uncomfortably.
Humph, this is me!Who is the outsider?Starlings, they chant!
The fourth elder brother said again: "I happened to talk about you with the emperor. I thought that you have been studying and practicing martial arts all these years, and you have never done any serious errands. I thought that you are old and you should practice it, so I mentioned it to the emperor. With that said, I asked the emperor if he had any errands for you to practice.
Coincidentally, the emperor thinks you are suitable to go to the Ministry of War.Although there is no decree yet, it is impossible for the emperor to forget you.I think in a few more days, the emperor will arrange for you to run errands. "
Brother Fourteen was stunned. He didn't expect Brother Four to call him over, and there was such a good thing!
"This... this..." Elder Fourteen couldn't believe it, "With such a good thing, why doesn't Fourth Brother let Thirteenth Brother go?"
It can't be that there is a trap there, you want to trap me, right?
The fourth elder brother didn't understand what the fourteenth elder brother meant, his face darkened.
"You don't want to go, do you? Then I will go into the palace tomorrow and ask the emperor, can I change to the thirteenth brother!"
Elder Fourteen was reluctant to part with this rare opportunity, he quickly smiled and said: "Don't, don't, don't worry, Fourth Brother, I just... just ask."
The fourth elder brother said angrily: "I'm not like you! I don't have so many twists and turns in my heart! At that time, I just mentioned it casually, and I didn't beg the emperor to give you an errand. I asked the emperor casually, and the emperor agreed casually. If you want to thank, thank the emperor!
snort!I have seen through you, being nice to you is like beating a dog with a meat bun, never coming back! "
The fourteenth elder brother smiled embarrassingly, "Fourth brother, don't say that, I know that fourth brother misses me! I am the one who relied on fourth brother's kindness to me and acted recklessly!"
Hearing these words, the fourth elder brother felt much more at ease.
His heart softened, and he instructed earnestly: "When you go to the Ministry of War, don't play the prince's temper. You have never done errands. Although you are talented, you don't understand official communication and the rules of dealing with things. The books teach you stuff, very different from what you actually use.
When you arrive at the Ministry of War, listen more and watch more, and talk less.Say too much and make mistakes, and it is easy to be caught by others. Be careful that something will happen and they will take you on the crock.You go there first to find out the details, and then it's not too late to do something.Go to the yamen to put away your bad temper, build a good relationship with the people below, no one will spoil you like me! "
Fourteenth elder brother felt warm in his heart, after all he was his real brother.If he said every word was for his own good, and Tete asked for an errand for him, he would not believe it.Such a vicious person is like his fourth brother!
