Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

"Master, Jin Shangming, the leader of Baoyi, is asking to see you." Fan Ziping paused, and then said, "He also brought a congratulatory gift, which he said was for little brother and little Gege."

The day of Concubine Zhang Jiashu's death was too coincidental, just a hundred years before the triplets were born.Because the triplets did not have a big event for a hundred days, Wan Ning only invited the Duke's Mansion, Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion, Elder Brother Huang, and Prince Fujin to have a meal.

Because she didn't plan to make a big deal, she let Fan Ziping push all the congratulatory gifts from others.

There is no relationship between my family and the Jin family. It is really confusing for him to give gifts at this time.

Wan Ning went to see the third elder brother, "Could it be that he came to surrender?"

In Hongsheng's matter, the couple were wronged, and the emperor decided to make up for the third elder brother.His way of compensation is to drop the third elder brother to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let him take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.As for repairing the book, let him put it aside first.

Jin Shangming, Manchurian Zhenghuangqi Coating, has inherited the post of Coordinator of Coating for generations, and is one of the famous families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Since the emperor asked the third elder brother to take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then the third elder brother is his upper peak, and it is not surprising that he came to 'surrender'.

The third elder brother was noncommittal, he thought for a while and said: "You go and tell him, the gift is fine, after all, Concubine Zhang Jiashu just passed away, there is no reason for me to accept him alone if I don't accept gifts from others. If there is anything wrong with him, As long as it does not violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty, you can inform me publicly when I go to the House of Internal Affairs."

There are more and more errands on him, Lao Ba and the others are jealous, he will not give others a chance to catch him.

The third elder brother is not stupid, Jin Shangming is clearly giving gifts in the name of Hexi.If he accepts it, how do you know that Jin Shangming won't climb the pole and claim to be his man?

Brother San doesn't mind being close to others, but he is not Jin Shangming.

What kind of a good person is this kind of person who just flatters and gives gifts when he comes up.It is kindness for him not to kill the other party like a chicken.

Yinzhi knew that giving gifts was popular in the Qing Dynasty in recent years. Whether it was an official assessment or a new official's appointment, the people below would give gifts.He can't control this kind of atmosphere, but he also has his own strength of character and principles, and he will not join forces with these people.

Seeing Fan Ziping coming out, Jin Shangming hastily greeted him, he smiled and said, "Boss Fan, what does Prince Cheng say?"

Fan Ziping cleared his throat, "Our grandfather told you to go back with your things. Our grandfather is a man of principle. If you really have something to do, you can tell him face to face when he goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The custom of giving gifts should be avoided. Mr. Jin, you didn't inquire before you came, our master has never accepted gifts from others in all these years."

When to accept gifts and when not to accept gifts, and how much gifts to accept, their master knows by heart.Not to mention Jin Shangming who came over to give gifts after the incident, they gave gifts on the same day, the gift list was too rich and they would not accept it at Prince Cheng's Palace.

After delivering the message, Fan Ziping planned to go back.Fujin said that they would have a share of drunk crabs today, if he went late, he would definitely be eaten up by those two bastards, Zhaocai Nafu.

Jin Shangming was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stopped Fan Ziping, he quietly stuffed a bank note into Fan Ziping's hand, "Director Fan, please give me a few words of kindness in front of Prince Cheng. "

Fan Ziping's unhappy face drooped completely, and he said coldly: "Master Jin, what do you mean? You haven't heard a word of what I've said together. You didn't even ask about our Prince Cheng's residence." What kind of life, do you think I am short of your few taels of silver?"

They sincerely believe that the prince's mansion does not spend much money every month, but the food is better than other mansions.This good is not just about the richness of the master's food, but also about these slaves.

Just say that he and Zhaocai Nafu are the stewards of the house, and they can eat two dishes that the masters eat every day.This food was not given to them by the master's inexhaustible reward, but cooked for them by the kitchen alone.

Eating and drinking in Prince Cheng's Mansion is the best, and the monthly salary is also much.

But Prince Cheng's Mansion has the rules of Prince Cheng's Mansion, if he dares to take what he shouldn't, if Fujin finds out, he will have to leave tomorrow.

In the past, Fan Ziping only thought that Jin Shangming hated him for delaying his return to eat good food, but now looking at Jin Shangming, he only felt that he was a black-hearted man who wanted to ruin his future.

Throwing the banknote on Jin Shangming's face, Fan Ziping walked away. He decided for a while that if the third brother and Fujin smelled it, he would definitely say "good things" to Jin Shangming.

Looking at Fan Ziping's back, Jin Shangming's expression changed back and forth. He looked down at the bank notes on the ground, then at the closed door of Prince Cheng's Mansion in front of him, and finally bent down to pick up the bank notes on the ground and went back to the mansion.

Not to mention how Jin Shangming went back, but to say that Fan Ziping drove him away and went to the inner court to report.

"Fu Jin, you don't know that Mr. Jin is very ignorant of good and evil. The slave has told him very clearly that he actually wants to bribe the slave. Is the slave like that? He is simply insulting our Prince Cheng's residence. "

Fan Ziping didn't dare to add more details, his Fujin family is very powerful, and anyone who is lying can tell at a glance.

If that Jin Shangming was not an official of the court, he hoped that the other party would come in, just to let him see his own Fujin's ability.

Wan Ning chuckled, "Okay, don't feel wronged. It just so happens that there are still a lot of fruits sent by Zhuangzi today, so you can pick them yourself."

Fan Ziping burst into joy, "Thank you, my servant, for Fujin, then this servant will go down first."

The fruits are grown in Xiaotang Mountain Village, and it is the first crop of this year. These fruits are not only big but also sweet.Usually the first batch of fruit is definitely nothing to do with their servants.Because Fujin's things are so good, even those that are not good in appearance are rushed for.

Now that he can finally eat the fresh fruit, how could Fan Ziping be unhappy.

The third elder brother looked at Fan Ziping's back and chuckled: "This kid has been with me for so many years, and I have never seen him so obedient. It can be seen that Fujin teaches well."

Fan Ziping's obsequiousness sometimes makes him want to roll his eyes.Obviously she has been with him since she was a child, and she treats Wan Ning closer than she treats him.He was sure that if there was a conflict between him and Wan Ning's order, he would listen to Wan Ning without hesitation.

Wan Ning pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Why are you teaching well, why are you embarrassing me? One can only ask for a good life in one life, but it just so happens that I can give him what he wants."

Nowadays, no one in the capital knows that the things on her farm are good, but anyone who has something to do with her name can be sold at a good price, and sometimes you can't grab it if you go late.

Merchant Pin, as a slave, eats what other people can't buy with money every day. He feels great satisfaction in his heart, and with her kindness and power, how dare he not be dedicated.

Not only Fan Ziping, but also the servants of Prince Cheng's mansion.

Wan Ning even set up a reward system. If someone makes a mistake, they can report it. Once they are found out, they will be rewarded generously.After this system came out, the servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion walked a little faster, for fear of making a mistake and being kicked out of the mansion.

The third elder brother thought that what he said was so clear, and Jin Shangming should go to him when he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Unexpectedly, for three days in a row, Jin Shangming did not move, as if the previous gift giving was an illusion, and he was as conscientious as everyone else.

If Jin Shangming doesn't move, the third elder brother will naturally not condescend to find him.The two of them stayed like this.

After all, it was a new official who took office, and it took a lot of time to get familiar with the procedures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After he had thoroughly sorted out the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, He Yi, the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said: "My lord, you have been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a while, and you were supposed to welcome you a long time ago, but you said that you have to do business first. Now you see that things are almost handled, can you give me a face. Taibailou tonight, my servant treats you."

The third elder brother took a deep look at him, and said: "Master He, could it be that he forgot that the hundred-day filial piety period for Concubine Zhang Jiashu has not yet passed, so it's not appropriate for this king to go drinking with you with great fanfare?"

But He Yi said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. You forgot that the Emperor did not order everyone to observe filial piety for Zhang Jia's concubine. Besides, that is just a concubine. You are the son of a noble concubine with a noble status. What's more about this matter If you don’t tell me, who will know if I don’t tell you?”

He Yi didn't have much contact with the third elder brother before, he only saw him smiling every day, and the easy-going these days gave him the illusion that the third elder brother was as easy to talk to as the eighth elder brother.

Everyone in the world likes to hear good words, especially the elder brothers, he thought that the third elder brother would definitely show pride when he said these words.However, Yinzhi did not.

He just shook his head and said: "Forget it, even if she is just a concubine, what about the thirteenth brother? The relationship between the king and the thirteenth brother is not bad, and I must give the thirteenth brother face."

Afterwards, no matter how He Yi tried to persuade him, the third elder brother remained unmoved.

Seeing that the third elder brother was about to walk out of the yamen, He Yi gritted his teeth and chased after him, "Third elder brother, I don't know if I should say something or not."

The third elder brother looked at him with raised eyebrows, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

He Yi was indignant, "Third elder brother, the slave is complaining for you, you are thinking about the brotherhood with Thirteenth elder brother, what do you know what Thirteenth elder brother thinks? Suspected?"

The third elder brother was shocked in his heart, and his face remained calm, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

It was a secret that Hongsheng had something to do with Concubine Zhang Jiashu. Khan Ama only told the prince and his Emiang Concubine Rong, and then Eniang relayed it to him and his Fujin.Except that he told fourth and thirteen afterwards, the others didn't know about it.

So here comes the question, how did He Yi know?Or did he play any part in this?

He Yi said: "I don't have much contact with you, my lord, but from the time we get along, it can be seen that you are a responsible person. From your performance, I can tell that you are not interested in that position, and only want to be a pure minister. The servant guessed that you were devoting yourself to compiling the book because you meant to avoid it."

Seeing that the third elder brother listened carefully, and even had a look of approval in his eyes, He Yi worked harder.

"But look, you're already like this, and some people still don't plan to let you go. Elder brother Hongsheng is just favored, and those people just use elder brother Hongsheng to stir up trouble. I feel wronged for you."

The third elder brother said: "There is nothing to be wronged. Hasn't Khan Ama found out all about it?"

In addition to Concubine Zhang Jiashu, the emperor also introduced a few 'scapegoats'. In the eyes of everyone, they were the ones who did this.The emperor has closed the case, what else can others say.

He Yi was a little inscrutable, "The lord really thinks those people did the thing? As far as I know, you are easy-going, lord, but you haven't offended them. Why do they want to make trouble with brother Hongsheng?"

"My lord, you really haven't thought about it."

Yinzhi frowned, and he followed the other person's words, "What do you mean, they are scapegoating, and the murderer is someone else? Who is it?"

He deliberately acted aggrieved, hoping to see what He Yi would say next.

He Yi was a little embarrassed, "This, this, the slave is also hearsay and there is no evidence."

The third elder brother waved his hand, "It's okay, just say it directly, do you think this king can't tell right from wrong?"

He Yi pretended to be persuaded, he sighed: "Well, I admire the prince's attitude in dealing with things, and I really don't want the prince to be kept in the dark."

"The servant heard that elder brother Thirteen had instructed this matter. Concubine Zhang Jiashu was afraid that the emperor would hate elder brother Thirteen, so she took the matter on her shoulders."

The third elder brother made a gesture of anger, and he stretched out his hand to grab the other party's crown robe, "Impossible, He Yi, you dare to sow discord. Come on, come with me to see Han Ama, let's go and clarify together."

He Yi grabbed the third elder brother's hand, and said in a panic: "Third elder brother calm down, third elder brother calm down. The slave said it, this is what someone else said, if you don't believe it, forget it. The reason why I told you is that the slave can't bear it. You have devoted your heart and soul to Elder Brother Thirteen, but what he did behind your back, I can't bear to let you be cheated."

The third elder brother loosened his clothes, snorted coldly: "Where is the evidence? Do you think I will believe you based on this alone?"

He Yi hesitated for a moment and leaned into his ear and said: "There is someone in the servant's family who is on duty in the imperial army, and he happened to follow the emperor to go outside the Great Wall. He is responsible for the safety of the empress and concubine. That day he heard with his own ears that the thirteenth elder brother and the concubine Zhang Jiashu Complaining about this matter, Concubine Zhang Jiashu herself told Brother Thirteen not to worry, and also said that you and the crown prince will not be playing for a long time."

"Did your family tell Khan Ama about this?"

He Yi said: "That's natural, slaves are loyal to the emperor, how can they hide it from the emperor."

"You also know what happened later. Concubine Zhang Jiashu, who was healthy and healthy, died suddenly, and the emperor hasn't promoted her until now."

Concubine Zhang Jiashu was a favorite concubine before, and she had three children. How could the emperor not give her a gift when she passed away?

The third elder brother's eyes flickered, and after a long time he said: "Didn't you just say that you have prepared a banquet, where is it?"

He Yi smiled, "It's in Taibailou. I know you like elegance, so I specially booked a private room in Taibailou."

Yin Zhi nodded, "You wait first, I will send someone back to the house to tell you."

Brother San took a few steps forward and whispered a few words to Zhao Cai who came to pick him up.

Zhaocai nodded again and again, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, sir, the servant will definitely bring the words to you."

He Yi thought that the so-called words from the third elder brother were brought to San Fujin, but in fact the third elder brother asked him to find the fourth elder brother.There is something wrong with He Yi, he intends to let the fourth elder brother and Thirteen investigate carefully.

The fourth elder brother complained to him yesterday that things didn't make any progress. See, this clue came soon.

Someone in the family just heard it, but the third elder brother didn't believe a word.He deliberately pretended to be understood just to see what He Yi was planning.

He Yi insisted on buying him a drink, and even said it was just to catch the wind. He really thought that Yin Zhi was a fool.

Dare to plot against him, Yinzhi's eyes flashed coldly.

After dismissing Zhaocai, the third elder brother jumped into the carriage directly, "Let's go to Taibai Building."

When we arrived at Taibai Tower, the third elder brother discovered that the people in charge of the Seventh Division and the Third Courtyard had come together. This group of people included Jin Shangming, who had been to Prince Cheng's mansion before but was dismissed by him.

The Jin family belonged to Shangsi Academy and was in charge of the palace horses.Seeing the third elder brother, Jin Shangming quickly stood up, "I have seen the prince."

The third elder brother nodded coldly, his complexion was still not good, as if he was still immersed in the news just now.

However, Jin Shangming didn't care, he pointed to a person who looked similar to him beside him and said, "My lord, this is the dog Sanbao."

Sanbao hurriedly saluted the third elder brother, but the third elder brother still let out his nostrils and hummed.

He Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, please take a seat, everyone, please sit."

Yinzhi sat at the top, and He Yi sat on his left. What surprised him was that Jin Shangming sat on his right. Seeing that other people had no meaning for this ranking, he knew it.

Jin Shangming's visit to Prince Cheng's Mansion that day really had a purpose, and he and He Yi were still in the same group.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little tipsy, and the third elder brother also pretended to be drunk and started shaking.Seeing that it was almost time, Jin Shangming winked at the person opposite him.

The man immediately stood up, and he said: "I have never admired anyone in my life, except for you, third elder brother. If you want my slave to say that you need talent, education, background and family background, why should you be inferior to the prince. As we all know, The crown prince is cruel and ruthless, and treats all officials extremely harshly, what can you do if he comes to power in the future?"

The third elder brother stood up unsteadily, stepped forward and slapped the man, and directly put the man's head in the vegetable bowl.

He poked his tongue out and said, "Let's be presumptuous, what are you, dare to slander the prince? Just, even if the prince treats me badly, so what. I always remember that when I was a child, when I was being bullied, it was the prince who stood up. Come out and uphold justice for me, the prince is protecting me."

"The prince can be unkind, but I, Yinzhi, cannot be unrighteous."

The third elder brother was very energetic, the whole table was shaken by him, and the minister couldn't shake it with his arms fluttering.

He Yi and Jin Shangming quickly stood up, and they tried to pull San Age away.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, calm down, he can't speak, so don't be as knowledgeable as him. None of us don't know that your lord is loyal."

The third elder brother kicked him directly, "What's the matter, I can't deal with the old thirteen, and I can't deal with you."

He deliberately mentioned Brother Thirteen at this time, in order to tell He Yi that he was really drunk and believed what the other party said.

There was a successful smile on the corner of He Yi's mouth, so he ignored some details.He didn't realize that Brother San deliberately took a few steps forward when he said this.

The cubicles in the Taibai Building are not very soundproof, and he spoke so loudly that someone sitting next door could definitely hear him.
