Be a group pet in the Qing Palace where the prince and the fourth master have been reborn

Chapter 151

Galtu meticulously prepared gifts for the prince, and he was full of expectations for the prince's feedback. He has been an official in the local area for so many years, and he has handled many good things. The dragon pattern jade pendant can be said to be the rarest one he has ever seen. Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs is hard to get better jade than this one. His Royal Highness must be very satisfied.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very satisfied with his big gift, he has not seen such a person jumping into the pit so eagerly for a long time, he just jumped in eagerly without using any means, which really made him have to praise A few words.

Whether it is a big thing or a small thing, if you don’t pursue it, there is nothing wrong with it. If you do it, it will be a serious crime. I don’t know where Galtu is so bold. Those who don’t know think they have something in private. What a shameful deal.

Yinqi was in high spirits and wanted to write a letter to his family. Galtu didn't provoke him, but the people around him kept provoking him before entering the mansion. If he hadn't been broad-minded, he would have blood splattered at the gate five steps.

He was aggrieved.

The crown prince sealed the envelope and asked He Yuzhu to send the letter back to the capital without disturbing the people in the governor's mansion. Then he slapped the little ancestor on the head to keep him from making trouble. He complained that he was doing it strategically. Little, if the palace knows that this kid is being bullied outside, let alone Gartu, even he will have to suffer along with him.

Children in their teens can't think about it like they did when they were young.

Yin Qi looked at the paper with just a few words written on it with regret, but the elder brother of the prince would not let him get involved. As a good and obedient younger brother, he could only give up the idea of ​​adding fuel to the flames.

It doesn't matter, there will be many opportunities like this in the future, so there is no rush this time.

On the other hand, Galtu felt good about himself, happily drinking a small wine and blowing the cold wind, "I heard that His Royal Highness is very arrogant. When I saw him today, His Highness looked very kind. It seems that the money these years have not been spent in vain. .”

"My lord said that money can turn ghosts around. Who in this world doesn't like white money?" The master who has followed him for decades complimented him. , "My lord is now in the eyes of His Royal Highness, and the future must be boundless. The money spent is nothing, and the good days are yet to come."

"Master is right, come and drink." Galtu smiled happily, blushing and enjoying the feeling of walking sideways in the capital. No matter how powerful a magistrate is, he can't compare to a capital official. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It also means that it is easy to be forgotten by the emperor. A minister like him is not afraid of being impeached, but he is afraid of being forgotten by the emperor.

It is a technical job for a fox to pretend to be a tiger. If the emperor forgets about him, where can he get promoted?

Gartu didn't care much about things in his life. What he liked most was reading the ledger. The more money he had in his hand, the more at ease he felt. People live all their lives just to make themselves happy.

He likes money, and he has the means to make money, and he is easy to catch the flattery in the officialdom. Since he hooked up with Zhang Fengyang, the coat servant of Prince Kang's mansion a few years ago, he has a lot of other thoughts in his heart.

The emperor is getting older and older, and he will go to see the first emperor someday. The crown prince is in his prime, and the future will depend on the new master's wishes. In this case, the people under them cannot neglect the crown prince.

A few years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not married, and these local officials had to hide everything they sent, for fear of accidentally letting the emperor notice.

They are cautious like walking on thin ice, they have to turn several corners to give a gift, and they have to tacitly pretend that they have never done anything when they see the prince, what is it called.

Fortunately, the future is bright. His Royal Highness is still so friendly to him when he came to Taiyuan Mansion, which is enough to show that the previous money was worthwhile. His Royal Highness is a serious prince. After the emperor dies, he will be able to succeed. His grade can be raised further.

The crown prince, the crown prince, will be the king sooner or later. It is nothing to send a jade pendant with a dragon pattern. Even if the crown prince wears a dragon robe, it is not called surpassing.

The governor is not easy to be an official. He has self-knowledge. It is difficult for him to be a good parental official. He can't make any achievements in this position. He can maintain the image in the emperor's heart because he has been working around all these years. Yes, if you want to rise up based on your political achievements, it is better to let Lord Yama open the back door when you reincarnate in your next life.

This life has already been like this, why not find a way to show your face in front of His Royal Highness, and when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he, Gartu, will be the new emperor's confidant, and he is not far from Conglong's merit.

So farsighted, he really is still so powerful.

The master drank the wine obediently, squinted his eyes and lowered his voice, "My lord, it is said in the capital that His Royal Highness and Brother Jiu have a deep relationship, why does this subordinate see something wrong?"

Brother Jiu didn't give them any face when he was at the door, and his words were mean and ruthless. What's even more weird is that when he was talking, the prince just watched with cold eyes, and only said lightly when he had offended the people around him. "Children are ignorant", how does he feel that this is intentionally allowing Brother Nine to offend others?

Gartu sneered, "There is no deep affection in the royal family, it is all pretended, where is the origin of Brother Jiu, there is an imperial concubine in the palace, there is Tong Jia's family outside the palace, and there is a family who is very popular with the emperor. It's no wonder His Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured of the elder brother of King Yongjun who is so important to him."

The crown prince is the heir and the heir, but the empress has been dead for so many years, and their emperor has lost two queens. The largest harem is still the imperial concubine Tong Jia. She has long been Empress Tong Jia, and her successor will also be Empress. At that time, Brother Jiu will also be a legitimate son, a direct son with a mother and a direct son without a mother, anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the advantage.

If he was the crown prince, he would take the opportunity of going out to kill brother Jiu. The dead are not as important as the living. As long as it is done cleanly, the emperor can't make it difficult for a dead brother and the living heir.

Galtu drank a lot of wine, his face was a little drunk, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, he waved away the waiter next to him, and asked the master to whisper a few words in his ear.

The master's eyes widened suddenly, and his heartbeat accelerated and slowed down for a while before he found his voice, "My lord, you are drunk, and this subordinate will help you go back to your room to rest."

You can only think about this kind of thing in your heart, and you must never do it. Even if you want to please the prince, you must not kill Brother Jiu. The emperor will not do anything to the prince, but he will not be soft-hearted towards them.

My lord is drunk, so don't take it seriously when you're drunk, just sleep and wake up, don't make any wrong ideas, your arms can't hold your thighs, if Brother Jiu really has an accident in Taiyuan Mansion, they won't be able to run away by then.

The Governor's Mansion is busy, His Royal Highness and Nine Brothers have to rest first after they arrive, and the real highlight will be after a night's rest. Last month, the imperial court ordered Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi and other places to mobilize the people to move to the frontier. People left their homeland one after another, but they were the only ones who didn't move here. The prince came here just for this matter.

There are governors in the Taiyuan Mansion who are not doing business, but more of them are officials who can't speak in front of the superiors and do what they should or should not do. They are also worried about how to carry out the government's decrees. The problem is that they The newly transferred governor doesn't care, the governor doesn't care, others can only worry.

Gartu is a bannerman, and the Eight Banners children who grew up in the capital are unwilling to go back to their hometown in Shengjing. The generation of high officials whose parents and grandparents have experienced the bitter cold outside the customs are even less willing to go to the frontier where the birds don’t shit. There are three fires for a new official to take office, to be a good official who is diligent in governing, caring for the people and thinking about the people, and cannot push the people into the pit of fire.

Good officials like him are rare these days. Is it a problem to charge more taxes?Nothing wrong!

The prince put on a good show and rested in the small courtyard for one night. The next morning, he summoned various officials for questioning. Combined with the news he inquired outside and what he reported, he pieced together the information of Gartunaqi. Guessed what the strange brain circuit was thinking, and clutched his head, not knowing what to say.

When I go back this time, I will pass the papers to Khan Ama. Officials with real power must not let the Eight Banners who came up from the shadows be fooled. It’s okay to be stupid. If the entire area under his jurisdiction becomes stupid, he will be a sinner through the ages.

He wants the world to know that his benevolent heart can accept some idle positions. None of the official positions such as governor, prefect, and county magistrate can be assigned, not even in poor and rich places. With Gartu's brain, if he continues to work, he will be punished by God sooner or later. Lightning struck.

This is a crime.

The outside of the pass is vast, and the population is pitifully small compared to the Central Plains. Before the imperial court ordered the emigration to the real border, the people continued to move there, but so far, there are only a few general mansions that can be called towns. The place is still sparsely populated, and the enemy can't be found when it comes.

If the population outside the pass was one-tenth that of the Central Plains, the old Maozi would not be able to be so arrogant. After all, there are too few people on their side, and if an accident occurs, there will be no one to call for help.

The Eight Banners in the capital are used to living a comfortable life and are unwilling to suffer. Under their "speaking with emotion and reasoning", all those who should go now are almost gone. What kind of green onion is he, Gartu? Stop the people from leaving.

The prince sneered, and someone called Galtu over, and he scolded him all over his face.

Galtu was enduring the prince's inexplicable anger. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out why this person suddenly changed his attitude. He didn't say that the people would not be allowed to leave. Wherever I like to go, Shanxi is already so poor, what difference does it make if there are more people than few?

Moreover, he really felt that there was no benefit in moving outside the pass. Even if the imperial court had subsidies, the outside of the pass would not be as comfortable inside the pass. The Han people were no more crowded than they were.

Galtu felt that he was already a member of the princeling party, and he didn't have too many scruples when speaking in front of the prince. Didn't he deliberately confront the court? Isn't this a newcomer trying to improve his reputation?

The prince took a deep breath, waved his hands to let this mindless guy out, okay, from now on, this guy is already a dead man.

He is not going to turn against Galtu right away. The specific matters need to be carried out by the imperial envoy with the imperial decree. What he has to do now is to arrange the things that should be done, bypassing the governor of Galtu and directly connecting with the people below. I don't know how many times the efficiency is higher than that guy.

The decree issued by the imperial court is actually very simple. It lists all the benefits that can be obtained by moving to the frontier. Those who want to go can register with the government, and those who don’t want to go don’t force it. more urgent.

It is a tradition engraved in the bones of the people to settle down and relocate. Now the government's personal restraint on them is not as strict as it was thousands of years ago, but few people are willing to leave their hometown and far away from their homeland unless it is absolutely necessary.

The problem is that the imperial court gave too much.

It is tradition to settle down and relocate, and it is instinct to seek profit. Tradition meets instinct, and proper instinct wins.

Gartu and his accompanying team were excluded from the business, and the master was a little restless. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he could barely stabilize his mind and try to make their adults respect the prince.

Yinqi stayed in Taiyuan Mansion for less than half a month, and it was rare for him to follow the prince from morning to night like this, and he was dumbfounded when he saw the state of the prince's brother after he turned on the workaholic mode.

What's the situation, isn't the second brother always talking about wanting to be a street uncle who plays with birds and walks dogs? Why does he get into the mood so quickly after working?

This is the legendary social animal.

No wonder he stopped arguing with his fourth brother recently. He thought it was because of his second sister-in-law that he started to restrain himself, but it turned out that he started to work on his own initiative, and his fourth brother had no reason to teach him a lesson.

Long knowledge, long knowledge.

The imperial government's decree was arranged, only at the beginning, it was a little bit of a headache, and it would be much better for those officials to familiarize themselves with the process. The prince didn't plan to spend too long in Taiyuan Mansion. As soon as things were on the right track, he took his precious brother and set off for Mount Wutai.

Under the urging of his master, Galtu insisted on accompanying him. The emperor had to accompany local officials from Shanxi when he visited Mount Wutai. When the crown prince came to Mount Wutai, officials from Shanxi naturally had to accompany him.

If you lose anything, you can't lose your momentum, and their princelings will never bow their heads.

Yinqi felt that Gartu was getting more and more strange, and asked their second brother more than once if he had reached any deal with this guy in private. Even if he had a high status as the crown prince, his enthusiasm must have been too enthusiastic.

The prince also couldn't figure it out, but he was sure that a person like Gartu, who had nothing to gain, could not be so enthusiastic about him for no reason, and the thing was so strange, there must be something he didn't know about it.

Mount Wutai was no different from the last time they came here. The mountain peaks soared into the sky, and dozens of monasteries, large and small, lamaseries were scattered among them, and all of them were devout Buddhists.

The prince's visit to Wutai Mountain was not as grand as the emperor's visit in person. He did not need all the monks and lamas on the mountain to come down to greet him. If it wasn't for Gartu, the governor of Shanxi, who couldn't drive him away, he wouldn't even need the company of officials.

The bluestone steps can only be walked up by two legs, the guards walk on both sides, Yin Qi follows the prince in the middle, followed by Gartu and his accompanying team, there are not many people in the group, at least the posture of the emperor In comparison, they can be said to be low-key and can't be low-key.

The Bodhisattva on Lingjiu Peak said that he is auspicious. If he said that Xiangrui must be single this time, would Khan Ama himself commit suicide to the top of the Bodhisattva to make him change his mind?

Yinqi was thinking wildly, distracted from time to time to look at the surrounding scenery, suddenly his feet seemed to be tripped by something, the sudden sharp pain made him fall back uncontrollably, the little ancestor screamed in pain and stretched out his hand to grab the prince's clothes , but rolled down before catching it.

"Yinqi!" The prince's pupils constricted, and he didn't catch anything in the air above his hands. Fortunately, the guards on both sides were alert enough to catch him with their bodies as human cushions, otherwise he would roll all the way to the foot of the mountain, my life I'm afraid I'm going to lose half of it.

There was a mess on the bluestone steps, and the master with a pale face dragged Galtu, taking advantage of the crown prince's thoughts on the ninth elder brother who fell down inexplicably, he gritted his teeth hating iron and steel, "My lord, even if you want to treat Jiu elder brother Brother, you can't do it in public, isn't this nonsense?"

Gartu was stunned, "What's wrong with me? I didn't do anything?"

The master was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he squeezed out a voice through his teeth, "You are the closest to Brother Jiu, so it wasn't you who tripped Brother Jiu just now?"

Galtu turned pale with shock, "It's not me! How can you slander people for nothing?!"
