Chapter 21: Twenty-one Days of Wanting to Die
This little six is really a little six.
Although Kangxi denied it, his lofty image had already collapsed in people's hearts.
The few people who had come to test Kangxi because they owed money on purpose and were afraid that he would reprimand them, now relaxed.
They also have some leverage over the emperor.
In an instant, all the suffering I endured at the Ministry of Revenue this morning disappeared.
When the court was in the morning, some people were whispering about why they all went to the Ministry of Revenue to pay back the money. Was it because the emperor was provoked again and started to deal with them?
They looked at the shrewd eyes of these ministers, sneered in their hearts, and said nothing.
The ministers could not get answers from the princes and could only wait for the emperor to speak himself.
As a result, the emperor didn't mention this matter even after waiting for a whole morning court session.
People were left feeling upset. Not only did they not mention the matter, but they also sent the five princes directly to the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue, Ma Qi, was even called by Kangxi to be interviewed. When he came out, he was crying.
Many people saw it.
When people saw this strange scene, they inexplicably connected them with the Sixth Prince.
No need to think about it, it must be related to the Sixth Prince vomiting blood.
Sixth Prince is really something. If he wants to die, then he dies. What’s the point of dragging it on now?
Also, does the Emperor like the Sixth Prince too much?
According to the gossip in the palace, the Sixth Prince went to Yonghe Palace first and the Emperor followed right after. Take what happened in the morning for example, the Sixth Prince went to Ciren Palace because the Empress Dowager missed him, and the Emperor stopped taking care of state affairs and followed him happily.
After coming out, the emperor even picked up the little grandson to cheer up the Sixth Prince.
The court officials have not seen such a scene for many years. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been treated like this since he was a child.
The emperor could not hide his concern on his face.
The five princes stayed in the Ministry of Revenue for the whole morning. After they left, a group of people who could not wait rushed into the Ministry of Revenue and grabbed the officials inside to ask what the emperor was going to do.
They didn't dare to speak loudly, after all, there were the emperor's spies here.
But they wanted to know.
Ma Qi came out with his hands behind his back and told them to go back and raise money.
Then they were driven out and the door of the Ministry of Revenue was closed.
Everyone's heart turned cold.
I couldn't help but blame Sixth Prince. Why was he spitting out blood for no reason?
Wait, that’s not right. Didn’t the Sixth Prince vomit blood yesterday?
How come I went to Ciren Palace and Qianqing Palace again today?
That was real vomiting of blood. The blood on the eldest prince's body when he left the palace could not deceive anyone.
But why does Sixth Prince look like nothing happened today?
Two words immediately came to people's minds - liar.
This must have been a conspiracy between the royal father and son.
Everyone felt that they were really miserable. Galdan was about to come and ask for peace, so the military pay would not be used. Even if it was used, they should not have to pay to raise the military pay.
His Majesty is kind and this has never happened before.
And at noon, another piece of news came from the palace.
It's about the Tong family.
It is said that Tong Guowei's face changed when he heard the news, and he went straight to Longkodo and scolded him.
Then they both hurried home.
While many people were still confused, those who were well-informed said, "Longkodo robbed his father-in-law's concubine and took her home to bully his wife. Somehow the ladies in the palace heard about it and wanted to confirm whether it was true. The result is what happened now."
"Oh, how could Longkodo be such a beast when he looks so handsome? That's his father-in-law's concubine, and he stole her father's daughter and now bullies her? Isn't Longkodo's wife his cousin? This isn't a marriage between the two families, it's an enmity, right?"
"Who knows? Forget about it. Mind your own business. We might all go bankrupt."
Thinking of this, everyone feels a pain in their hearts.
But they are just small fry, and the money they borrowed is not much, so they can still pay it back if they want.
Now it is more important to eat melons.
I haven't heard such explosive news in many years.
It has drawn everyone's attention to this matter.
Nalan Mingzhu was filled with joy, as he had finally caught the old thief Tong Guowei.
It’s a pity that it’s not a quota map.
Now it is the prince's party that is against them.
Nalan Mingzhu was still making plans for Yinzhen, but she didn't know that Yinzhen already knew the outcome in advance.
In the Qianqing Palace, Yin Zhuo shouted "good brother" and finally saved his ears.
Now his left ear has also turned red, and his right ear was pulled red by Kangxi. It looks particularly obvious and funny on both sides of his pale little face.
When Yin Zhuo saw them trying to hold back their laughter, he had a bad feeling.
My ears were burning, but it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
[It doesn't matter. When Mafa and Ahma bully me, I will take it back from you.]
Yin Zhuo rubbed his hands, planning to find an opportunity to bring Hongxi out and take revenge on him.
When Yinreng heard his inner thoughts, he didn't know what to say.
You are so old, yet you still bully an eight-month-old cub. How shameless.
When he got back, he instructed the people in Yuqing Palace that if Xiaoliu wanted to see Hongxi, he must not be given to him.
This kid doesn't follow the beaten path and is not a qualified sixth uncle.
[It’s a pity that I can’t live any longer. If I had lived another ten years and waited until my second brother was imprisoned, I would have adopted Hongxi as my own son.]
Yinreng: ...
It turned out that Xiaoliu was planning to target his son.
But think about it, it is impossible. He is the crown prince, and Hongxi is the first little grandson of the emperor to be raised, and can be regarded as the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Think about it, Qianlong had his reasons for being jealous of him, after all, he had a special status.
It is even more impossible for someone with such a special identity to be passed on to others.
Kangxi now felt strange. Why did Xiaoliu act so impulsively?
Could it be that he was moved by Hong Xi's calling him Liuliu just now, or was it that he really should become his biological child as he said?
Why do you fall for someone else's child?
Yin Zhuo lowered his head and thought.
[I am definitely better than my fourth brother. My fourth brother had ten sons in total, but six died young and only four survived. However, two of these four were passed on to other people, and only Hongli and Hongzhao were in his name. I don’t know how Hongshi made him unhappy, so he passed him on to his defeated subordinate Yinsi as his son. You should know that Yinsi was the most popular person to seize the throne at that time, and he was the person closest to the throne.]
Kangxi moved his fingers and said that the fourth son was indeed not as good as him in raising children.
Why is Lao Ba involved here?
To be honest, Kangxi didn't know much about this son, but he was very smart and he liked him very much, but he didn't have much presence.
How could this Eighth Brother make the Fourth Brother so fearful...
For a moment, Kangxi became even more curious.
The others had the same idea, but after all, the fourth son was still their own son, so how could it be right to adopt him to their mortal enemy?
Yin Zhuo is still going on.
【Hongzhan was given to the youngest, the Seventeenth Prince Guo, by Qianlong himself, to inherit his title. Prince Guo had no children in his life. Hongzhan was the tenth son of Yongzheng, born two years before Yongzheng's death. It can be considered that Qianlong was taking care of his younger brother.】
This is understandable.
They were curious about Hongshi's affairs.
Yin Zhuo was curious too.
[It is unknown what Hongshi did to offend Yongzheng, and Qianlong may really dislike his old father, the fourth brother. After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he hated Yinsi but was jealous of his power. He first stabilized him and made him a prince, but after he was firmly on the throne, he began to find excuses to deal with Yinsi. First, he stripped him of his title, then imprisoned him, and later changed his name. He was not allowed to call him Yinsi (Yunsi), but called him Aqina. ]
Yin Zhuo was curious at the time, but he checked it out specifically and found out that Aqina means dog.
How much does his fourth brother hate him.
Kangxi's face darkened. This fourth brother...
He was also a little speechless. This must be because he hated it to the core.
Change his name to Dog.
Yinreng, Yinzhi, Yinzhi and Yinqi glanced at Yinzhen, who was stiff all over, and felt a little scared.
If you think about it this way, they are not the fourth brother's biggest enemy. It should be the eighth brother who just appeared.
Aqina...dog...
This is absolutely humiliating.
Everyone felt mixed emotions for a while.
Yin Zhuo wanted to laugh when he thought about what Qianlong did later.
【However, in the 40th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Yinsi was rehabilitated. Emperor Qianlong said that he had no rebellious intentions, and changed his name back to Yinsi. He also restored his status as a member of the imperial clan and was recorded in the imperial record.】
Everyone looked like they were watching a show.
The fourth brother and his son are really wonderful.
But could you please tell me more about Lao Ba?
They really want to know.
Kangxi was already thinking about how to bring the eighth child to the sixth child without making any noise.
Maybe Xiaoliu will say more when he sees Yinsi.
Yinzhen felt a little itchy when he saw Yin Zhuo's smirking look. He would not be so stingy as to change someone's name to "gou".
That's definitely not what he did.
Yinzhen has never done it, and he will definitely not admit that it was he who did what Xiaoliu said.
Just at this time, the meal was served, and Kangxi called out, "Everyone, please sit down."
Yin Zhuo squeezed onto the big table subconsciously, and was determined not to open the stove by himself, but was determined to eat meat with everyone.
Sitting opposite Yin Zhuo was Yinzhen.
He was shocked to find that his fourth brother's face seemed to have become darker the day he hadn't seen him.
"Fourth brother, are you feeling unwell?"
Yin Zhuo said with concern.
After all, he is the future superior and his own brother, so he has to show some concern and care for him.
Yinzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing."
He was so angry at Xiaoliu that his liver hurt, but the main culprit still cared about him with an innocent look on his face.
This is the most annoying part.
"Oh, okay."
Yin Zhuo didn't dare to offend him. What if he changed his name after he left?
Although dogs are cute, he doesn't want to be called a dog.
Reduplication of words is also not allowed.
He is quite satisfied with his name.
Veins popped out on Yinzhen's forehead and the chopsticks in his hand almost poked a hole in the table.
When the others heard Xiaoliu's slightly fearful voice, they almost laughed at him.
As expected, Xiaoliu is still better than Laosi.
Wow, it turns out that the fourth brother’s face can be even darker.
I have learned a lot.
