Chapter 2100: Suffering and Grace
The Ninth Prince thought of the Fucha family.
He was not familiar with the wealthy families in the Zhenglan Banner, but he was familiar with the Fucha family.
The four brothers are all high-ranking officials.
But the eldest brother is just dragging his feet, and the fourth brother is still young, and now it is Ma Qi who supports the family.
Although the previous commander of the Zhenglan Banner did not fall into the hands of another family but the Fucha family, it is still frustrating.
The Ninth Prince is ready to make a move.
However, under Kangxi's gaze, his mind became clear again.
Khan Ama asked him to split the colonels under the names of Prince Xin and Prince An, instead of the colonels under the name of the Eighth Prince.
Kangxi looked at the ninth prince and thought of Fengsheng.
Fengsheng has the qualities of an eldest son and elder brother, and is well-educated. I just don’t know how he will perform when he enters the upper study room next year.
I don’t know if there will be any deficiencies when multiple babies are born.
Akdan looked thin and listless, not as energetic as Fengsheng and Niguzhu.
We will know the result next year.
There is also the second son of Prince Cheng’s Mansion and the second son of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion…
Kangxi waved his hand and said to the Ninth Prince: "Kneel down and pay your respects..."
Then, he said to Liang Jiugong, "Send someone to call the Fourth Prince over."
Liang Jiugong responded and followed the Ninth Prince out.
The Ninth Prince asked in a low voice: "At this time, the Khan Ama sent a message to the Fourth Prince. Does that mean that the Zuoling of the Bordered White Banner will also be split up?"
Liang Jiugong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
When they arrived at the Xiaodong Gate, the Ninth Prince said goodbye to Liang Jiugong and left Changchun Garden.
Outside the Xiaodong Gate, the Tenth Prince was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the official road in the distance.
"What are you looking at?"
The Ninth Prince patted his shoulder and asked curiously.
The tenth prince turned around and said, "Ninth brother came out. I didn't see anything. I just saw the people from the Lifanyuan coming to deliver official documents. I just asked a few questions, and then Abahai Taiji submitted a memorial asking to come to the court..."
"Planning to visit your sister-in-law? That's pretty soon..." said the Ninth Prince.
Although my brother's wife's family cannot provide much help, just seeing how much importance they attach to the Tenth Lady is enough to shock others.
The Tenth Prince looked at the book in the Ninth Prince's hand and asked, "What is this?"
"Let's talk about it when we get home..." As there were so many people around, the Ninth Prince did not speak in a hurry.
The two brothers returned to the fifth institute.
Cui Baisui reported: "The Seventh and Tenth Concubine are in the main courtyard. Concubine Fu has kept some for us to eat."
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince looked at each other, went to the main room to say hello, and then came to the front yard.
After sending all the servants away, the Ninth Prince told them about his new assignment.
"I feel so guilty when I think about it. Khan Ama really loves his youngest son. I feel so jealous. It turns out that he made me offend people in the past, which directly benefited Thirteenth Prince..."
The Ninth Prince said with some dissatisfaction.
Although there were two princes who were going to leave the banner, for some reason the Ninth Prince felt that the one coming to the Zhenglan Banner would be the Thirteenth Prince.
Even though there is some affection between the brothers, the Ninth Prince still feels that it is a losing business.
As for the title of Prince that the Emperor's father mentioned, just wait for it.
He understood clearly that in the eyes of the emperor, the older princes were different.
Only when the eldest and third princes are promoted to princes can he get a glimpse of the title of prince.
But those two don't have a good relationship with the prince, and there is no war in the court now, so what is the reason for promoting him to prince?
Nowhere in sight.
The Tenth Prince pondered and said, "Why does the Ninth Brother feel that it is not the Twelfth Prince who came down?"
The Ninth Prince snorted, "Why else? I have a good relationship with the Twelfth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince is close to the Fourth Prince. I can see that Khan Ama is overthinking."
The “brotherly friendship and respect for brothers” mentioned a few years ago was true, but when we mention it now, it is not true.
"Are they afraid that we will form a clique?" The Ninth Prince guessed casually, "If several princes form a clique, it will involve dozens of assistants, plus their respective relatives and old friends, and they will be very powerful..."
The Tenth Prince glanced at the Ninth Prince and said, "Since you know what's going on, Ninth Brother, don't be too sincere when you treat others in the future. Just save face. Otherwise, not only will you be taken advantage of, but you will also easily violate taboos."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, I will treat others the way they treat me, and I will never be stupid again..."
*
In the main courtyard.
The sisters-in-law were talking about the Ninth Prince's true intentions.
The Seventh Lady smiled and said, "It is true that 'the closer you are to a red person, the more red you become'. You are kind to others, and you have also led Uncle Nine to be kind..."
Shu Shu did not take credit for it, saying, "She is like our queen, who is soft-hearted, but loves to show off and is not good at talking, which is why she was not popular in the past."
The Tenth Lady nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I think among all the uncles, Uncle Nine is the one who takes the best care of the young princes."
The Seventh Lady sighed and said, "It's really the opposite. Earlier, the good popularity and good reputation belonged to others."
She married into the palace a year and a half earlier than Shushu and had seen and experienced more than Shushu.
Shushu smiled but said nothing.
Nowadays, members of the royal family outside still have nothing good to say about the Ninth Prince, but among his brothers, the Ninth Prince is considered to be quite popular.
That'll be fine.
Especially the petty and vengeful one, he was not offended this time, and there is still some brotherhood between them.
The Tenth Lady didn't know what she was thinking about, and couldn't help but giggle out loud.
Shushu and the Seventh Lady both looked at her.
The Tenth Lady laughed and said, "I am laughing at our master. He is like a child. He loves to stick to Ninth Brother even though he is so old."
The Seventh Lady also laughed and said, "I heard that they have been like this since they were young, just like a pair of twins. You are lucky to be neighbors in your mansions and live next to each other in Haidian. If one of you lived in the south and the other in the north, you wouldn't be able to stick together all day long..."
*
In the front yard, the Ninth Prince was mentioning the famous surnames of the Zhenglan Banner to the Tenth Prince.
There are the Guoluoluo family, the Xilinjueluo family, the Xitala family, the Juechan family, the Fucha family and so on.
"Since it's because of the population division, you should follow the rules. Select the assistant commanders with the most people from the two kings' banners, and then divide the highest-ranking people from each family..."
The Tenth Prince said.
When it comes to tasks assigned to the Emperor, we must do it according to His Majesty's will.
As for offending Prince Xin's Mansion, he had already offended it before, so this time is not a big deal.
Directly interfering in the affairs of the Zhenglan Banner without going through the two princes was also a warning to them.
The Ninth Prince snorted and said, "I just complained to your Ninth Sister-in-law that without a high-ranking official or noble title, I couldn't even collect the annual tribute. But now, I can see a high-ranking official, but it's for someone else."
The Tenth Prince said, "Don't take advantage of that. If this servant shows his filial piety to his master, he can make ten or twenty times more money later. It would be even more disgusting to blame the Ninth Prince later."
The Ninth Prince thought about it and said, "Yes, it is a debt of gratitude. It is not easy to accept this gift!"
There are few people as honest as me.
During the years when he worked in the Imperial Household Department, half of the tributes sent to the emperor in private accounted for.
Adding in the pocket money from the Empress and the donations from the Ningshou Palace, he only had 40% left.
The Ninth Prince thought of the clan members and Jueluo officers under Prince Xin's mansion, and said with a sly smile, "Those officers are also very prosperous, so I just demolished them. The princes in the mansion were arrogant before, and they treated the clan members and Jueluo officers as their servants. This time, I will do a good deed and assign a few clan members and Jueluo officers to the public."
The Tenth Prince thought more and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it's a thankless task. Maybe those royal family members and Jueluo would prefer the prince's subordinates to stay with him because they have a backer."
The Ninth Prince said, "I am just doing my job, not selling favors. No matter what they think, the little brats under me will thank me, because they have one less master."
As the brothers were talking, they heard a child crying outside.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The Ninth Prince could no longer sit still and quickly stood up and ran out.
Ni Guzhu, who was held in Gui Dan's arms, cried heart-wrenchingly.
Seeing the Ninth Prince, she stretched out her fat arms and said, "Father, Father..."
The Ninth Prince quickly took it.
The Tenth Prince followed out, looked at the children, and his eyes fell on Fengsheng.
Feng Sheng said helplessly: "Building blocks, fighting with Akdan."
Niguzhu also complained, choking with sobs: "My second brother didn't listen to me and didn't allow me to do it that way. He also said that my arrangement was ugly..."
The Ninth Prince looked at Akdan.
Akdan said coldly: "Chaos."
The Ninth Prince loves his daughter the most, but he doesn't dare to take sides.
There is already a precedent that the lawsuit between the siblings has to be resolved by the siblings themselves.
Otherwise, you will be caught between two sides.
Especially this kid Akdan, he loves to hold grudges and will tell tales.
Tana held Hailan's hand and watched the confrontation between the brother and sister. She was not panicked and both of them looked calm.
It seems that this is not the first time that the brother and sister have had a quarrel in the small classroom, and the two young ladies seemed to be calm.
Hong Xuan said, "Second brother is right..."
Seeing him standing in line with his neck erect, the Tenth Prince scolded him in a low voice: "What are you right about? Don't interrupt my brother and sister's affairs!"
"No!" Hongxuan's refusal was firm.
The Ninth Prince thought about Shushu's temper. She loved to scold children and she hated it most when children acted bossy.
Niguzhu will probably be scolded if he doesn't stand up this time.
He said, "Why don't you stay in the front yard and eat with Ama and Uncle Shi?"
Niguzhu immediately shook his head and said, "No, I want to eat with everyone. Today we have meat-filled burritos, and I also want to visit my seventh aunt and tenth aunt..."
