Chapter 23: Household Secretary

"Father, do you still need to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?" The Ninth Prince looked at the emperor incredulously, and said confidently, "My son feels that this day is impossible just to cope with schoolwork, and the Ministry of Household Affairs naturally has more difficult reasons. Otherwise, why did you let the ministers go to study in it until now?"

For a while, Chunjia thought that the child was quite smart, this speculation is very reasonable!

But he was so angry that he fell backwards: "You were not bad in your studies when you were young, and you could even be said to be among the best. Since you arrived at Qiongjiu Palace, without your mother and concubine's supervision, you have plummeted. Do you still have the face to say it?!"

"I dare not lie to my father." The Ninth Prince said frankly, "When I was in front of my mother and concubine, my mother and concubine were very demanding. Only when my son was good at studying, could I be praised by my mother and concubine. But at the end , it is inconvenient to meet the mother and concubine, but it is too late for the mother and concubine to feel sorry for the son, even if the son does not do well in class, the mother and concubine will mostly comfort him... The son does not care about the studies, the son just hopes that the mother and concubine will care about the son. .so……"

So after moving to Qiongjiu Palace, even if he didn't study hard because it was inconvenient to meet him, his mother and concubine Yun Fenghuang would still care about him and feel sorry for him. Why did he still work hard?

Chunjia understands Yun Fenghuang a little bit. She has been strong all her life and has achieved considerable achievements. She has devoted all her heart and soul to the children in front of her. Salted fish? !

Not only is it salty fish, but he also takes salty fish for granted, "Besides, although the concubine mother values ​​the schoolwork of the ministers, she values ​​the body and bones of the ministers even more. In the past, the elder brother went to school at night, and after the concubine mother knew about it, she I scolded him a lot, and he was not allowed to make fun of his body! The son thought, the son is originally stupid, and he can't do anything to please his mother and concubine, so it's better to take care of himself so that his mother and concubine don't worry about it. That's it , can be regarded as my son's filial piety!"

Looking at his expression of "Father, do you think this son is very filial? Hurry up and praise him", Chunjia took a deep breath, and then resisted the urge to go down and beat him up: "Princes go to the yamen to watch politics. It's the rule of the country, since you have chosen the Ministry of Household Affairs, no matter whether you think it is difficult or not, you must survive to the end! Otherwise, if the Minister of the Household Department is impeached again, I will not spare you!"

"Father, why do you have to do this?" The Ninth Prince was heartbroken, "My son is not up to date, none of your many children, big brothers, big sisters and seventh brothers are more promising than my son, why do you have to live in such pain... ...Erchen is also your blood and blood!"

For a moment, Chunjia wondered if this son was her own?

Thinking about how many times he fought with the Ji family and the regent in order to gain some power and bide his time, it is only today that he is today.

The Ninth Prince is good, the father and the mother take the initiative to squeeze the opportunity of power into his hands, he doesn't want it? !

The emperor laughed angrily: "Pain? Do you feel pain now?"

Seeing that the Ninth Prince nodded affirmatively, Chunjia ordered directly, "Yan Yin, you send someone to follow this kid from now on, if he dares not go to the household department tomorrow, I will break his legs! If he is in Hubu didn't learn anything, so I broke his leg!"

Ninth Prince: "...??!!!"

"Father..." Seeing what His Highness the Prince wanted to say, Yan Yin hurried up and dragged him out of the door, wiping off his cold sweat at last, and said with a wry smile, "Little ancestor, who are you contradicting?" Not good, contradict our Majesty... His Majesty is really angry at this moment, if you don't learn something in the household department, His Majesty will really punish you!"

We all know that your father is more than your son, how dare you make trouble?

Do you really think that your father, who is his own flesh and blood, is reluctant to do anything serious?

Yan Yin secretly slanders, thinking that the emperor's heirs in front of the imperial concubine, no matter whether they are motivated or not, are all the same: they lack the respect they should have for the emperor.

However, the Ninth Prince curled his lips and said: "I am not afraid of this prince, my father does not feel sorry for me, my mother and concubine can't bear it... When the father and emperor wants to punish this prince, I will go to my mother and concubine to cry! What about my mother and concubine?" Maybe I'm willing to have my prince's leg broken?"

Yan Yin: "..."

He was dumbfounded as he watched the Ninth Prince Shi Shiran leave with his hands behind his back, and when he returned to the palace, he saw Chunjia looking at him expectantly, and said slowly: "The kid was scared after going out? You delayed coming back for a while, didn't you?" He asked you to beg for mercy?"

"..." Yan Yin struggled for a while, and still said the original words of the Ninth Prince. Chunjia was also stunned for a moment, and then said a moment: "How well does the imperial concubine treat him? King Jin doesn't seem to be so big. confidence?"

"It must be because the imperial concubine often reprimanded His Royal Highness Jin Wang." Yan Yin said awkwardly, "That's why His Royal Highness Jin dare not make mistakes."

As for the children other than King Jin, although Yun Fenghuang also disciplined them, they used more methods and rarely beat or scolded them directly.

Chunjia was speechless for a moment, then said: "Forget it, just leave him alone... this bastard, if he refuses to learn now, he will cry sooner or later."

In his heart, he thought of what Yun Fenghuang said, that the Ninth Prince hoped to find a capable concubine to help take care of the future feudal kingdom, so that he could do the salted fish business.

For a moment, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the Ninth Prince's request.

For such a useless waste, if he doesn't find a good enough concubine, how can he live in the future? ? ?

"Who do you think this kid looks like?" Chunjia felt overwhelmed for a while, suddenly felt the desolation of Hu father and dog son, and couldn't help asking Yan Yin.

Yan Yin thought for a while, looked around and saw that there was no one else around, and then said cautiously: "Go back to Your Majesty, slaves and maids can't say well. But thinking about it, although His Highness Ninth Prince is a little...lazy, he can treat the imperial concubine, the concubine, and the concubine." His majesty's trust is as unchanging as a rock, and it is also a child's heart. If you want to compare the similar situation, the servants secretly think that there are similarities in the reliance and trust of the imperial concubine on your majesty?"

Chunjia discarded some of the wording of his words, and came to the conclusion: "Yan Yin thinks that Xiao Jiu's personality is like Ah Huang? Well, there is some truth to it..."

Anyway, it’s not good to be like him.

Such an unambitious and shameless son doesn't look like him at all!

... Yun Fenghuang didn't know at all that Chun Jia was taking the blame for herself in private, and she was too angry to find out what the Ninth Prince had done a little later.

Hearing that the emperor called him to the Imperial Study Room, he was somewhat worried, so he arranged for someone to stay outside, and when the son came out, he called him to Huanhua Palace.

"But you were punished by your father?" Yun Fenghuang felt relieved when he saw that the Ninth Prince came over, and said that Chunjia is generally more tolerant of children who don't have high hopes. It seems that he should not take the Ninth Prince. How about it.

Unexpectedly, after only one question, the Ninth Prince rushed up to him and cried out in aggrieved manner. The meaning behind the words was that the emperor wanted to break his leg.

Yun Fenghuang was not fooled, immediately pushed the person aside, and said with a sneer: "Your father has always treated you with pity, why would you want to break your leg? You must have done something that deserved to be broken." matter!"

"Mother concubine, my son was wronged. My son just said that he might not be the material of the household registration department, so the father said so." The ninth prince was very keen, and realized that the mother concubine and the father were probably in the same group. Turning the spearhead away, he dragged a shield up again, and said, "Of course, as the mother and concubine said, the emperor loves Erchen after all. Thinking about these words, Erchen is just trying to scare Erchen. After all, if it is true This way of beating the son-in-law, let alone the son-in-law's suffering, how can it not make the mother and concubine feel sad?"

The implication is that if the royal father beats his son-in-law in the future, not only will he not feel sorry for his son-in-law, but he will also not feel sorry for his mother-in-law, you, mother-in-law Mingjian!

Then he said, "Actually, Erchen thinks that this matter is to be blamed on that old guy, Minister of the Household Department!"

Yun Fenghuang said unhappily: "You have the face to say this! How many days has it been? You haven't been there once, and if they don't impeach you, who are you impeaching?! It's also because the people in front of you are a bunch of bastards! Not a single person Come and report to Ben Gong, otherwise, Ben Gong will tie you up too!"

But I thought in my heart, it seems that although this son is not up to date, he can't be ignored too much.

If there is any move in the future, the people below have to deliver a message immediately.

Otherwise, I'm just being lazy now, and I don't know what happened later, what should I do if I'm caught off guard?

Sure enough, when the children grow up, they are not as cute as when they were young.

How wonderful it was when I was a child, seeing the sky in front of me, what mistakes could I make?

Even when he went to the school, he was only in Miyagi, and he knew every move anytime, anywhere.

It's not the case now, after going to Qiongjiu Palace, I started to meet outsiders, the child grew up, and my thoughts became loose, and the mother and concubine can only grasp the general idea.

"Concubine Mother, it's really wrong that I didn't go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but after the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting learned about this, did he send you a message?" The Ninth Prince knelt down in front of her with tears in his eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Is there not? The guy just handed an impeachment memorial to the emperor, what does this mean? It means that he doesn't pay attention to the mother and concubine! What kind of thing is this old man, dare to bully the mother and concubine like this..."

"Shut up!" Yun Fenghuang couldn't see that his son was trying to sow discord and avenge his personal revenge. His expression turned cold, and he scolded, "It's okay to mess around, but now even the important officials of the court have organized it. It's simply uncontrollable Go on like this. If your father doesn't break your leg, I won't let you go!"

Having said that, after scolding the Ninth Prince and driving him away, the imperial concubine's face still became gloomy, and she turned her head and asked the left and right: "What is the origin of the Minister of the Household Department?"

She didn't really care about this man's impeachment of the Ninth Prince.

After all, it was indeed the Ninth Prince's fault, and the child was not his own, and he voluntarily gave up the competition for the position of crown prince. It's okay to be angry or oppressed.

The key point is that the Ninth Prince was right in one sentence: the Minister of the Household Department had impeached the Ninth Prince directly to the emperor without any information from the Xuanqing Palace...

Is this seemingly direct minister's behavior behind it, like Du Langu, who is only loyal to the emperor so no one will sell his face, or... is it intentional?
