Rebirth: My Life as Daddy's Favorite in the Great Qing

Chapter 398: He is not illiterate, but he is lazy

The dinner party organized by Yinzuo to enjoy the snow, drink tea and have a barbecue ended successfully with our ninth prince Yinzhen shivering with cold when he saw his father, and caught a fever and a cold that night when he returned home.

It has been said before that although Yinzuo himself does not like to drink the bitter medicine soup, he is very keen on building his happiness on the suffering of others. I heard that Yin'er's fever has not subsided until last night. He did not care that it was snowing outside. After reporting to Kangxi, he went straight to the Imperial Hospital and took the old doctor Wang and rushed straight to Yin'er's palace.

"Xiaojiu, I'm not saying this to you, Sixth Brother. Look at how little you've become. You hid away from your father and got yourself sick from the cold. If this gets out, people will laugh at you. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, right? Khan, no matter what, he's still your father. How could he possibly eat you? It doesn't matter if you're sick. Look who Sixth Brother brought you. Dexi, go to the hall outside and ask Doctor Wang to come in..."

Although Yin'er's head was still dazed from the fever, he didn't understand what Yin Zuo said. Haha, I thought you heard I was sick and came to visit me. So you think you're sharing your joy with others. And what do you mean by "whether this gets out and people laugh at you"? I'm just asking if there's a possibility that if you don't mention it to others, they won't know...

Yinzhen is not only a coward in front of his father, but also a coward in front of his brother. Even if he has a thousand words in his heart, does he dare to say them?

Yinzhen's symptoms of cold were so obvious that with Wang Taiyi's medical skills, he could tell what was going on at a glance. However, when treating a royal family patient, he had to be extremely cautious. Even though he felt that the condition was almost certain, Wang Taiyi still stepped forward and carefully took Yinzhen's pulse. Then he stood up, walked to the table beside him, picked up a pen, and began to write a prescription. He then handed it to the person waiting outside the door and asked them to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

Isn't it true that Doctor Wang's medical skills are excellent? Look at Yinzhen's fever, which hadn't subsided since last night, and now it's slowly starting to subside after he took a dose of medicine. Yinzuo didn't rush to leave after seeing Yinzhen drink the medicine. He stayed at Yinzhen's house until it was almost dark. When Yinzhen's fever completely subsided, he left Doctor Wang and took his men back to the palace.

The beginning of the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign was generally a gratifying one. Although some areas in the country were affected by heavy snow for several days at the end of last year, the foreign wars achieved gratifying victories.

The first good news at the beginning of the 51st year of Kangxi's reign came from Japan. With the strong support of the Qing Dynasty and after nearly a year of planning and fighting, Zheye finally seized the power of Japan from his uncle. Zheye's victory in seizing power meant that from that day on, the Qing Dynasty could station troops on the territory of Japan.

"Father, I remember you said before that the Japanese are the most despicable and fickle, fearing power instead of gratitude. Now that Zheye still needs us, he naturally dare not turn against us. But it is hard to say what will happen in the future. I think we should prepare in advance and take the initiative when necessary."

Although Yinzuo had been planning to annex Japan from the beginning, as the saying goes, preparation is the key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure. Yinzuo did not trust these Japanese devils and felt that it was better to be prepared for everything in advance.

Kangxi had been emperor for so many years, and if Yinzuo understood the problem, how could he not understand it? He nodded, raised his hand and invited Yinzuo to sit next to him, staring at him carefully for a long time before speaking.

"You're clearly not illiterate, but you just happen to be lazy. Yinzuo, let me ask you, if I were to send a prince to Japan to take charge of all matters there, who do you think would be the right person?"

Who is the right choice? Hearing Kangxi's words, Yinzuo suddenly thought of a face that always had a gentle smile. He looked up at Kangxi who was still staring at him, and smiled.

"Xiao Ba, Father, I think this assignment is tailor-made for him. Xiao Ba has a gentle personality, is meticulous in his dealings with others, and yet is flexible and adaptable. Most importantly, he always has a smiling face, which makes him look gentle and harmless, which is very deceptive. Sending him there will greatly reduce the Japanese's vigilance against us, which will also facilitate our next move."

Isn't it just like that, a cunning fox cannot beat a good hunter. Although Yinsi in this life seems to be inconspicuous, it does not mean that he is really forgotten by everyone. You must know that in history, he was able to fight back and forth with Yinzhen, the final winner of the Kowloon Succession. With his abilities, instead of letting him stay here and continue to hide, it is better to send him to Japan to let him show his skills.

Otherwise, Yinzuo's words would work quite well on his father. Look, Kangxi really took his seemingly casual words to heart. He pondered over it for a while and felt that Yinzuo's words made sense. He immediately asked Liang Jiugong to invite Yinsi over.

Over the years, due to Yinzuo's selfishness, he was not as close to his younger brother Yinsi as he was to Yin'er, Yin'e, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth. So when Yinsi went to Kangxi and learned that this job was recommended by his sixth brother, his face, which always had a gentle and polite smile, could not help but be dazed for a moment, but he had good adaptability and quickly returned to normal.

As the saying goes, a good man has ambitions, and Yinsi would not be so foolish as to push away the chance to display his ambitions. The father and son discussed in the study until dark before coming out with sore backs. As a result, when they turned into the flower hall, they saw Yinzuo sleeping soundly on the couch with a quilt in his arms. At this moment, both Kangxi and Yinsi had only one thought in their minds - envy.

Since the decision had been made to send Yinsi to Japan, it was naturally better to do it sooner rather than later. After all, to put it bluntly, there was a lot of things there waiting for someone to deal with. The decree came down the day after Kangxi talked with Yinsi in his study, and Yinsi left the capital before the end of the first month of the year.

The affairs in Japan came to a temporary end, and Kangxi's busy life returned to normal. Yinzuo's side also returned to its former tranquility in recent days.

Kangxi was never a person who could sit still. Now that there was nothing to do in the court, he naturally didn't want to stay in the inner courtyard of the palace. He left Yinzhen in the capital to look after it, and he took the empress dowager and his wives and children to Changchun Garden to avoid the noise and attend to government affairs.
