Chapter 16: The Sixteenth Day of Wanting to Die
But now these two have not grown up yet, Kangxi can't do anything and can only be angry.
Kangxi turned his attention to Yinzhen again.
This person is also cruel, not even sparing his own brothers.
However, Kangxi was also in a high position and knew the difficulties of being an emperor. Without money, it would be difficult to move forward.
Kangxi looked at his sons who were kneeling down and snorted coldly: "Learn from Xiaoliu. You brothers are not as sensible as Xiaoliu."
Yin Zhuo never thought that he would be praised.
"That's not possible. Xiaoliu also has many shortcomings. He needs to learn more from his brothers."
Although he said that, from the tone of his voice, it felt like his tail was about to fly up to the sky.
[Praise! Praise me more! ]
The sound of the fart rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone was speechless. The reason why Xiaoliu was so sensible in the eyes of the Emperor was because he had not yet left the palace to build his own residence.
I haven’t even married Fu Jin yet, so where can I spend the money?
"I admit my mistakes."
Seeing that they were sincere in admitting their mistakes, Kangxi waved his hands. He knew all this, but he did not expect that these people would become more and more courageous.
“This is the only chance.”
Kangxi said in a serious tone.
Yinzhi and others wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Kangxi turned around and looked at Yin Zhuo again: "So Xiaoliu means to check the Ministry of Revenue first?"
Yin Zhuo blinked innocently: "Father, please don't ask me. I have never been involved in government affairs. I am just giving you an opinion."
[What else is there to investigate? As long as my brothers return the borrowed money in a high-profile manner, and the emperor spreads some rumors and kills a chicken to scare the monkeys, those officials will pay back the money one by one without being urged, even if they have no money and have to sell their houses to pay back. Could it be that the emperor really wants me to push a wheelchair and go door to door to beg for money? I can't use the money even if I get it back.]
When Yin Zhuo said this, the others thought it was absolutely right.
They can't use the money even if they are asked for it.
If it is really as Xiaoliu expected, then this is Laosi's job.
Didn't he get the title of the emperor who confiscated property?
Moreover, the Emperor arranged for him to be on duty in the Ministry of Revenue from the beginning, and this kid is familiar with the place.
Anyway, the money in the national treasury does not belong to them, so they just need to be content with being salted fish princes. Does the fourth brother really dare to execute them after the emperor passes away?
Yinzhen frowned, noticing that his brothers were looking at him with unfriendly eyes. He said nothing and waited for Kangxi to deal with it.
Kangxi could naturally see through their little tricks.
If it weren't for Xiaoliu, he would have wanted to slap these sons. Each of them had dissatisfaction written on their faces, as if they were blaming him.
He looked at Baoqing and Baocheng, the two oldest children, and the ones he watched grow up.
Now I feel so aggrieved.
What are you feeling wronged about?
What's there to feel wronged about?
Kangxi thought that the throne was attractive and that no one did not want to be the ruler of a country.
But now he is still alive, nothing has happened, and the future is uncertain. Who knows what will happen?
Moreover, after hearing about Qianlong's deeds, Kangxi became worried about the cultivation and development of future generations.
Xiaoliu must have gone to the future.
And in that future, the Forbidden City became a place where anyone could visit at will by paying money.
That means the Qing Dynasty perished in later generations.
Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight and, sitting in a high position, he always thought about the development of the Qing Dynasty.
He couldn't understand how the Qing Dynasty perished.
Yin Zhuo naturally also discovered that several brothers who had borrowed money from him all expressed that they did not want to pay back the money or were reluctant to do so.
Yin Zhuo curled his lips.
【If you don't want to pay back the money, then work hard to make money for the Qing Dynasty. Except for the eldest brother who made some contributions in the military and followed the emperor to fight against Galdan, the others lived too comfortably. The Qing Dynasty fell into decline after Emperor Jiaqing, the son of Emperor Qianlong, ascended the throne. I remember that it was Jiaqing who raided Heshen's house, but the huge amount of money he seized still led to the decline of the imperial power, and finally the foreigners came knocking on the door. Look at the world with open eyes, young people should go out more, close the country, close the knowledge and your own views, the other side of the sea is developing rapidly, while the people of the Qing Dynasty are still hungry, this is the gap.】
None of them thought about making money for themselves, but instead wanted to take advantage of the national treasury. What's more, his brother was very young, how could he be even more useless than him.
Well, Yin Zhuo was a little angry.
He had been exploring this era as a bystander these past few days, but when he thought of that frustrating period of history, Yin Zhuo couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
When Yin Zhuo was studying that period of history in junior high school, he couldn't bear to reread it a second time after reading it once. It was too painful.
That history is too hurtful.
All that could be heard in Yu's study was the sound of the wind.
Kangxi waved his hand and asked Xiaoliu to go back first: "Xiaoliu, you are tired too, go back and rest today."
Yin Zhuo didn't want to stay here anymore. He was afraid that he would lose his temper and end up dying of rage.
Now something was rising up in his throat, and the taste of rust filled his mouth. Yin Zhuo tried his best to bear it.
Who knew that Yin Zhuo couldn't help it and wanted to speak, but ended up spitting a mouthful of blood on the floor in front of where Yinreng, Yinzhen, Yinzhi and Yinqi were kneeling.
Several people looked up in fright.
This……
No, what's going on?
Yinzhen felt something cool like water drops splashing on his eyelids, and all he saw was a hint of red.
He raised his hand and wiped his face. This, this is blood?
Xiaoliu was so frightened by them that he vomited blood.
Everyone looked up at once and met Yin Zhuo's eyes. He calmly wiped the blood with the back of his hand. His originally pale lips immediately turned bright red. There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped off. The red color contrasted sharply against his pale face. He was still sitting in a wheelchair, looking very fragile and about to die, but inexplicably giving people a very scary feeling.
That look seemed to be saying, I will drag you down with me even if I die!
The princes had seen big scenes before, but they were frightened by Yin Zhuo's eyes and broke out in cold sweats.
Yinzhen was the closest, so he quickly supported Yin Zhuo and asked about his condition: "Xiaoliu!"
To be honest, Yin Zhuo had been feeling a tightness in his chest these past few days, but now that he had spit out the old blood, the tightness immediately disappeared.
Kangxi was so frightened that he walked out from behind the case and shouted anxiously to the outside of the door: "Call the imperial physician!"
Yin Zhuo waved his hands, wanting to explain, but the scene was already in chaos.
This large mouthful of blood was spat out on the ground, splattering everywhere.
Yin Zhuo said anxiously, "No, no, no, I'm fine."
But his struggle was futile, and he was forcibly carried back to the residence by his brothers and forced to stay in bed.
Liang Jiugong was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Why is Sixth Prince vomiting blood when he is fine?
Kangxi's face was terribly dark. After he went out, he snorted coldly at the few people: "How dare you be dissatisfied? Do you want to anger Xiaoliu to death and put an end to it?!"
Kangxi was really angry.
He thought that the kids he taught were better, but now look, they are not better at all!
"Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on."
Kangxi was so frightened by the sight of Xiaoliu vomiting blood that his hands behind his back were shaking.
A bunch of useless things.
"Fourth Brother, check it for me! You must check it!"
Kangxi was angry, and Yinzhen had no choice but to go ahead.
After Kangxi left, Yinzhen smiled bitterly. Who could have imagined that the seemingly beautiful Qing Dynasty was actually in ruins.
The fact that the descendants were so disappointing made Yinzhen feel an urgency to do something for the Qing Dynasty.
He ignored his brothers and turned away.
Yinreng and the others had already knelt on the ground when Kangxi spoke. They saw the corner of the emperor's bright yellow clothes disappear from the corner of their eyes, and heard the fourth brother walking past them, but they did not dare to stand up.
After a long while, Liang Jiugong came over to persuade them: "The emperor told the prince and the princes to stop kneeling and return the money as soon as possible."
After Liang Jiugong finished speaking, he shrank his neck. These were the emperor's exact words.
Liang Jiugong felt like he had lost his head when he heard this. This was the first time he heard of a father asking his son to pay back the money.
Liang Jiugong was really curious about what these gentlemen had done to make the Sixth Prince so angry that he vomited blood.
According to the emperor, the culprits are those kneeling on the ground.
Everyone accepted the order, then stood up and looked at each other.
Yinreng is still the Crown Prince now, and he thinks Xiaoliu is right.
This prince had been raised under the care of his father, and indeed had never done anything substantial.
You should know that the emperor ascended the throne when he was eight years old. At that time, the entire court was in crisis. Not only did he survive, he also got rid of Oboi and Wu Sangui, ensuring the stability of the Qing Dynasty, and then slowly developed to its current level.
They, the sons, were really holding him back.
Today, Xiaoliu was so angry that he vomited blood. This is a heinous crime.
Yinreng is still the Crown Prince now. Thinking of how he acted wronged two days ago, he wanted to slap himself twice.
"Big brother, third brother, fifth brother, all of you, please stand up and do as Xiaoliu said. Pay back all the money you borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue. I won't tell you about the extra money. I think you all heard it."
After saying this, Yinreng went back to Yuqing Palace to find the Crown Princess and the Concubine.
Although he did not borrow money, who can guarantee that his in-laws did not do it?
Yinreng's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at the Crown Prince's concubine, Li Jia. "I know you are Hongxi's mother, and you have been so proud of yourself that you almost get on my nerves. I would like to give you a piece of advice. Whatever you have earned by using my name, you should give me back."
Li Jia, who was originally proud, immediately knelt on the ground with a pale face.
The Crown Princess Guaerjia didn't say anything, but just glanced at her clothes.
Then she tried wearing dark red clothes, but the prince did not like it.
Who gets favored in Yuqing Palace is all decided by the prince's words.
That afternoon, news came from the palace that the eldest prince and his companions had made the sixth prince so angry that he vomited blood because they did not repay the money they had borrowed.
Everyone was watching the incident and some people did see blood spots on the collars of several princes when they left the palace.
When the Sixth Prince heard that the Ministry of Revenue had been borrowed out, he anxiously asked his brothers to pay him back. He burst into blood before he could even breathe a breath. The blood stained the floor of the Qianqing Palace red, and it also flowed all over the stone steps at the door.
As soon as the news was released, the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince and the fourth prince went to the Ministry of Revenue one after another.
Good guy, you actually went to pay back the money.
What is this Sixth Prince doing? Although several princes have left the palace and established their own mansions, they are still Kangxi's sons.
How can a father ask his son to pay back money?
It must have been the Sixth Prince who forced him to do that, tsk tsk.
The Sixth Prince won't live long. Even if his brothers pay him back, the money will never reach him.
When Yinzhen left the palace, he heard these discussions and his face turned very dark.
He is just a little older and has become the eldest prince. Why don't these people mention the names of the third, fourth, fifth and crown prince? What do the eldest prince and others mean?
Everyone in the capital knew that his sixth brother was so angry that he vomited blood in order to force him to pay back the money.
Yinzhi's teeth were itching with anger.
Just wait and see, it's just a joke now, but you will cry later.
Yinzhen and a few others originally wanted to remind their close ones, but now they see that it is completely unnecessary.
These people looked at them with a look that they hated.
There is no intention of reflection at all.
Yinzhen suddenly wanted to join the duo in confiscating property.
If he doesn't have a good life, no one else can have an easy life!
