Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Eight

Although Erfu is a prince, she is not competent.

Internally, even if she has studied very hard, she is still not good at the trivial work of running a family, nor can she balance the many female dependents in the house, and externally, she is even more derelict in her duties, far less than the long-sleeved dancing of the Ula Nara clan in the past, taking various opportunities to win over the clan dignitaries and ministers in the court for the fourth master, and Erfu is even hairpin flower banquet, moon viewing banquet, which can be related to foreign women, she rarely participates.

If it weren't for the loyal help of a capable person like Bai Jiao by her side, who often sent all kinds of news, she was afraid that she would be isolated from the world, so she suddenly heard that the Nine Emperor Yinyu, who is known as the golden doll, had such a downfall time, she was really surprised, you must know that the eighth master Yinyu in history was able to attract a large number of courtiers to wave the flag and shout for him, and the silver spent was provided by the Nine Emperors, and the Nine Emperors were indeed very good at business, and there was the big tree of Emperor Kangxi as a backer to start a business, so it was even more profitable and not lost, how could it be ......

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, she rubbed to the side of the fourth master three or two, waved her hand and sent away the servant who was waiting beside her, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously: "The master said that the ninth brother Yinyu was cheated when he was doing business with the Internal Affairs Office, could it be arranged by the emperor's old man!"

It's no wonder that Erfu has such a guess, Shinong industry and commerce, don't look at the merchants in the north and south of the goods are richer and happier than the farmers who live on the land, but the social status is the lowest, and they are not even qualified to wear silk and satin, Yinyu is willing to mix into a businessman as a prince, and Emperor Kangxi will be angry about it, which is actually a normal reaction.

Ministry of Internal Affairs ...... Interesting!

In fact, Erfu thought more about whether Emperor Kangxi's purpose in doing this was to clean up Yinyu!

Because Emperor Kangxi wanted to restrain Yinyu's behavior very easily, he went down directly with an edict, no matter how much Yinyu liked to do business, no matter how out of tune Yinyu was, he would never dare to go against Emperor Kangxi, but Emperor Kangxi just went around the bend through the internal affairs office pit Yinyu, which is really a bit of a knife to kill chickens.

Could it be that Emperor Kangxi wanted to purge the increasing power of the Internal Affairs Office?

Just as she was thinking like this, the fourth master gave the answer - Emperor Kangxi's target was the deep-rooted clothed families of the Internal Affairs Office.

There is a joke in later generations that the Forbidden City belongs to the emperor, but it is also those who are clothed in slaves.

The Internal Affairs Office is responsible for taking care of all the affairs of the emperor, the palace concubines and many princes and princesses, from the construction of gardens and palaces to a handkerchief in the hands of the palace concubines.

Kangxi is a brilliant emperor, he has captured Aobai, leveled the three feudatories, collected Taiwan/Bay, fought Dzungaria, and ruled the Mongolian kings, and now he is targeting the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and wants to clean the increasingly powerful Shangsanqi Baoyi family in the Internal Affairs Office, Erfu is really not surprised at all.

There is only one point, she is a little surprised how Emperor Kangxi discovered that the power of the Baoyi family has become bigger.

Could it be that before she knew it, another old colleague who had crossed the woman had mixed into the palace, and she successfully told Emperor Kangxi about how the Internal Affairs Office bullied his descendants in later generations, otherwise how could Emperor Kangxi notice the evil wolf in sheep's clothing of the Internal Affairs Office!

Obviously, she was overthinking this time.

Even if there is really an old peer who has crossed the woman in this era, it is impossible to be so short-sighted to get to the side of Emperor Kangxi, who has not lived for a few years, although the forces of those clothed families in the Internal Affairs Office are intertwined, but at present, the climate has not yet been formed, and those who have crossed the female university can first come to the fourth master who has not yet ascended the throne, and wait until the day when Prince Yong, who has a capable style and iron wrists, ascends the throne and becomes the emperor.

This time, Emperor Kangxi noticed the Internal Affairs Office, and he really found it by accident.

Previously, the fourth master and the princes went out on patrol with the holy driving micro-service, and Emperor Kangxi stayed in Hangzhou to enjoy the wind and scenery on the surface, and arranged many princes to visit all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to investigate and secretly visit, which seemed to be leisurely and fun, but the emperor who had worked for most of his life couldn't be idle at all, but he was old, but he could no longer do it himself as before, so he more often led three or five guards to follow, walking around the city, to witness the happy life of the people under his rule, and the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office hit Emperor Kangxi in this way.

That was ordered to go to Hangzhou silk to buy Hangzhou silk father-in-law, in the internal affairs of the government quite a bit of face, over the age of old, but prefer beauty, once in Hangzhou, not even the east and west, north and south did not figure out, so he made the street to tease the absurd thing of young girls, Emperor Kangxi watched from the side, and the onlookers were so unconsciously in this way, they directly gave Emperor Kangxi a popular science.

According to the guards who followed the waiting, Emperor Kangxi was so angry that his face turned blue.

If such a thing alone is not enough to make Emperor Kangxi make up his mind to clean the Internal Affairs Office, because everyone has their own selfishness, at most he will order people to strictly restrain his subordinates, but the thing is that there is a coincidence, the Nine Emperor Prince Yinyu wants to do business with the Internal Affairs Office, so he gave a pair of mandarin ducks from his own mother to a father-in-law who dealt with him, this father-in-law is the scholar eunuch next to Emperor Kangxi, when he was serving Kangxi Ye's pen and ink, he clearly wore the jade that Emperor Kangxi rewarded to Concubine Yi on his waist, how could Emperor Kangxi not ask at all, Emperor Kangxi later arranged Wei Zhu to investigate, the skin of this internal affairs office can't be covered at all.

The prince wants to give gifts when dealing with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a eunuch who goes out on an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dares to bully men and women on the street...... How could Emperor Kangxi not be angry, it happened that the Nine Emperors bumped into him at this time, and he was unlucky with the Internal Affairs Office!

"It's really interesting, so these people from the Internal Affairs Office didn't think of resisting?" Erf asked curiously.

"Resist, holy decree, who dares to resist?

It is true that the coating power of the Internal Affairs Government has become bigger, but they can become bigger because of the emperor's favor, there are many officials who look at them unpleasantly from the outside, and those who are not in line with the clothing family of the Internal Affairs Government are not in unison, there are those who occupy the fat and lack of beauty, so naturally there are clothing families who are excluded, and now they have the opportunity to get rid of their opponents justifiably, no one will miss such a good opportunity to fall into the well, so those who are gradually getting bigger are easily cleaned up!" The fourth master didn't expect Erfu to ask such a mentally retarded question, and replied with some surprise.

Immediately, he seemed to understand what Erf meant.

The big coat family in the internal affairs house was cleaned by Emperor Kangxi, but there are other coat families, and Emperor Kangxi's edict is only part of it, and the vacant position in the house will also be replaced by other coat families.

"I believe that with these cleaned coat families as a lesson from the past, those who take the opportunity to replace them should know how to restrain themselves!" When he said this, the fourth master was not very sure, because he Bilf understood the greed of the human heart better.

Erf smiled at this and didn't say much.

It was late, the night was dark, and the two sat down under the porch and chatted for a while, and then went to rest in the inner room arm in arm.

At the same time, the two sisters, Yutong and Yuhua, who had never had the opportunity to appear in front of the fourth master, wore a dark gown skirt and secretly slipped out of the fourth master's mansion through the corner gate.

You must know that the gate control of the Fourth Master's Mansion is strict, after nightfall, not to mention that palace maids like Yutong and Yuhua can't go out, it is the eunuch and the little maid, without the warrant of the Fourth Master, and they don't want to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion for half a step, but the two sisters easily sneaked out of the Siye's Mansion and returned to a compound where the family is located.

Yutong and Yuhua were born in the Wu family, a family of coaters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Wu Ya clan who was carried the flag were from the same family.

Just when the fourth master and Erfu were gossiping, and the gossip Lao Jiu was jointly pitted by the Internal Affairs Office and Emperor Kangxi for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the Wu family of the Internal Affairs Office arranged their own internal line to send a letter to the two sisters and the concubine Niangniang in the palace, this time Emperor Kangxi wanted to clean the internal affairs of the house is very determined, the Wu family is a powerful family in the internal affairs house, of course, I am afraid of being involved, Wu Shouye, the head of the Wu family, knows that once the Wu family loses these important positions in the internal affairs office, then the Wu family wants to get up again, I am afraid that they will have to wait for more than ten years, unless they wait until the day when the fourth master successfully ascends the throne, and wait until Concubine De is established as the queen mother, they can rely on their clan relationship with Concubine De Niangniang to regain a foothold in the internal affairs office.

However, the matter of Lichu, the risk is too great, and the slightest carelessness may fall off the altar, and the Wu family does not dare to gamble, so they hope to get Emperor Kangxi to open up the net of the Wu family through Concubine De Niangniang, but for the sake of double insurance, Wu Shouye still sent letters to Yutong and Yuhua, after all, now the fourth master has a lot of weight in front of Emperor Kangxi, if they can ask for the help of Concubine De Niangniang and the fourth master, I believe that the Wu family can escape the current predicament, and may even have the opportunity to go further.

Yutong and Yuhua received the letter, and also wanted the family to help them gain a firm foothold in the Fourth Master's Mansion, so they had the move to venture out of the mansion, but it was a pity that they underestimated Erfu and underestimated the eyes of the main courtyard staring at them, and they seemed to sneak out of the Fourth Master's Mansion smoothly, but before a while, the news of their departure was sent to Su Peisheng and Shilan.

"What should I do?" Shilan waved her hand and sent the little palace maid who came to report the news, and looked at Su Peisheng with a wry smile.

Su Peisheng is also a black line in his head, he and Shilan shrank in the tea room at the back of the hall and waited for the errand, the movement in the inner room could not hide the two of them who were deaf and clear-sighted, listening to the coquettish moaning and roaring in the room, Su Peisheng was bold, and he didn't dare to disturb the good things of the fourth master and Erfu at this time, but it was a big deal for the palace maid to sneak out of the house, and he couldn't help but report it, Shilan asked him, how could he have any idea, he could only circle around the tea room like a donkey pulling a mill, and finally waited until the inner room to ask for water, and got the secret signal from Shilan, he tiptoed to the fourth master。

"Why did you come in!" The fourth master raised his eyebrows with some displeasure, reached out and pulled the brocade quilt next to him and put it on his waist, covering the indecency of his waist, sat back on the bed cross-legged, and asked with a dark face.

Su Peisheng hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to see the embarrassment of the fourth master and replied softly: "Back to the master's words, the palace maids Yutong and Yuhua in the main courtyard somehow slipped out of the house from the corner gate, and the slave didn't dare to hide the news when he got it, so he broke in late at night to report it, and asked the master to forgive him." ”

"Master knows, you go down!" The fourth master waved his hand calmly and drove away Su Peisheng, who had broken the good deeds.

And in the inner room, Shilan, who was waiting for Erfu to wash, also told Erfu about it with an embarrassed face, Erfu's reaction was much more real than that of the fourth master, she was a little stunned and dropped the wet handkerchief in her hand, took a few breaths, and then came to her senses, and asked in a low voice: "The fourth master also knows the news, right?"

"Father-in-law Su and the slave maid got the news before and after, I guess they are reporting it at this time!"

"Alright, I got it. Erfu retracted the gaze that fell on Shilan, seemed to calmly tuck her long hair, whispered, and then pulled the clean bedclothes next to her and put them on, waved Shilan away, and walked back to the inner room, with a small face, and climbed onto the bed as if nothing was right.

Seeing this, the fourth master, who was sitting on the bedpost, bent the corners of his mouth and lay down beside Erfu with a smile.

"You know it too!" the fourth master raised his hand to take Erfu into his arms, wrapped himself and Erfu with the thin quilt that had just been changed, and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Erfu squinted her eyes, glanced at the floor-to-ceiling Feihe candlestick standing next to the bed, and nodded lightly, "The two sisters are different from others, if they dare to do this if they are Shilan, I will directly let people tie them up and send them to the punishment grandmother to punish the crime, but they are the bed-warming palace maids arranged by Concubine De to give to the fourth master, even if they have not been accepted by you, for the face of Concubine De, I, as a daughter-in-law, have to avoid it, so this matter can only be troubled by you to deal with it personally!"

"You bad girl!" The fourth master knew Erfu's worries and Erfu's helplessness, but he didn't feel embarrassed, his relationship with Concubine De Niangniang was finally eased, and he dragged on these days without having any special relationship with the two sisters Yutong and Yuhua, which was already a bit of a refutation of Concubine De's face, if these two sisters were disposed of at this time, and then those with bad intentions provoked ...... It's just that he personally came forward to deal with it, which is better than Erfu coming forward, looking at Erfu who pushed the matter to himself, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with peace of mind, the fourth master smiled bitterly and raised his hand to point Erfu's head, and sighed.

Erfu snickered and raised her eyebrows, pulled the placket of the fourth master's clothes, and reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang is a reasonable person, I believe that you will explain this matter to Niangniang, Niangniang will not embarrass you, even if you will be unhappy in your heart, but how can the mother and son have an overnight feud, at most it is to say a few unpleasant words, you can bear with it!"

After saying that, she rolled over, pulled the thin quilt on her body and rolled into the bed.

God knows how difficult it was for her to hold back a smile......

The two sisters Yutong and Yuhua are really stupid, but she was still upset about such two more people in the house for a while, I didn't expect these two sisters to do such a foolish thing, and I don't know if there is any great urgency, they need to sneak out of the house late at night, and now they send such a bright handle to themselves, if she can't catch it, then I'm really sorry for these two sisters!
