Chapter 24: The 23rd Day of Wanting to Die
After Yinzhen left, Yin Zhuo felt a little regretful.
I forgot to tell his brother that I made little clothes for the dog.
Never mind. Let him be happy in two days.
Yin Zhuo lay in bed thinking about cowpox.
He has never had smallpox in his body. I hope the people at the Imperial Hospital can quickly research cowpox.
This should be similar to the principle of smallpox, and the toxicity of cowpox is not as cruel as smallpox, so the research should be carried out quickly.
Anyway, those who are doing something in the Qing Dynasty are not here to eat and do nothing, so professional matters should be left to professionals.
Yin Zhuo knew very well that the people he met in the Qing Palace, even the palace maids and eunuchs, had all gone through layers of selection and screening before they got the position. They were not ordinary people at all.
Yin Zhuo was very glad that he was the Sixth Prince, otherwise he would not be able to survive a day if he really became a palace maid or a eunuch.
If you are not careful, you might be set up and die directly.
Yin Zhuo closed his eyes happily, feeling relieved.
His hands and feet were still a little weak. Although vomiting blood in the past two days made him feel a lot better, his physical vitality was still damaged.
He needs to lie down and rest for two days.
Yin Zhuo was wondering about his origins, why didn't he have a system?
No, it is a system in itself, a medical system at that, but what about the golden finger?
He can neither diagnose nor treat illnesses, and doesn't give any relevant advice.
Now that he's here, why not awaken the golden finger, or heal yourself with one click, which would be of some use.
It’s not like now, empty and with nothing.
Yin Zhuo sighed, it seemed that he was destined to become a passer-by in this Qing Palace.
In the study, Kangxi's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly rose again.
Why is Xiaoliu vomiting blood again? It really doesn't make me feel at ease at all.
When Kangxi turned around and saw his sons in such a ferocious state, he subconsciously took a step back.
"Why do you look sick too?"
Kangxi's brows were furrowed, and his expression was almost as gloomy as Xiaoliu's.
Yinqi held his stomach, trying hard not to vomit.
They hurried from the Ministry of Revenue to the Imperial Hospital, and then were concerned about Xiaoliu's condition in the hospital. Xiaoliu then talked about cowpox. He followed his brothers all the way here with his head down, without any time to rest.
I was already feeling uncomfortable, and now my stomach is cramping again.
"Sit down, everyone, and tell me what's going on."
The boss didn't even take care of himself, there was blood splattered on his neck.
"Is Xiaoliu asleep?"
"He's resting here. The doctor said he's fine. Now that the blood clots have been vomited out, he needs to take good care of himself. He's a little weak." Yinreng spoke first as the crown prince.
Kangxi was still worried, but he glanced at a few people and asked, "Did the fourth child go to see the fourteenth child just now?"
Yinzhen was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor knew all this.
"Yes, Xiaoliu asked me to look after Xiaoshisi's studies. I have been busy and have no time to visit him. I feel a little guilty. I went in to see him when I passed by just now. He was very worried about Xiaoliu. I told him about Xiaoliu's situation so that Brother Fourteen could rest assured."
Although he knew that the emperor was fully aware of their situation, Yinzhen still described the situation in detail and truthfully.
Kangxi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, he is still young, you brothers should communicate more."
After saying this, he stared at Yinzhen and Yinreng. These two had never been at odds with each other since they were young.
It set a bad precedent for others.
"You two, the eldest and second oldest brothers, should pay more attention to the younger brother. I know you are busy, but you don't care about the affairs of the mansion, and your younger brothers and sisters don't care either. I don't know what you are busy with."
Busy hanging out with those ministers with evil intentions.
Although Kangxi did not explain it, his eyes said it all.
Yinreng and Yinzhi were extremely frightened by this.
The emperor knew everything, but the details still scared them.
Did the Emperor know about their childish actions and thoughts before?
Yinreng dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment.
Because Xiaoliu gave them a God's perspective, now when Yinreng looks back at the little actions he made, he can't help but rub his forehead.
How could there be someone so stupid as him?
The Emperor doesn't know what's going on in the Qing Palace.
"I will take time to visit the Shangshufang and take care of my brothers' studies."
Only now did Yinreng realize that his status had plummeted.
Don’t even describe how it feels.
I really don’t know how he managed to survive the days of confinement.
He can hardly bear the gap now.
But the big ones won't have it easy, and the small ones shouldn't expect to have it easy either.
According to Lao Liu, the ones who are most likely to cause trouble are the younger ones.
The eighth, the ninth, the tenth, one by one.
Yinreng and the others looked at each other and saw what was going on in his mind.
Now they are the older ones.
As the saying goes, it's better to beat your younger brother as early as possible. Since Xiaoliu has confessed and the emperor also knows about it, they will not pretend anymore.
Kangxi took in everyone's expressions without making any expression.
He is the emperor, and he has to consider the future of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty now appears stable, but crises are lurking on all sides.
First it was Galdan, and then there was the threat from the other side of the sea mentioned by Xiaoliu.
"Who among you is responsible for the cowpox issue? You are grown up now, and it is time for you to share the responsibility for the Emperor."
Kangxi decided to delegate power.
Don’t everyone think that they have grown up and become capable?
Then let's see who dares to take on this task and shoulder this responsibility.
In the end, it was Yinreng who decided to take on the task because he had had smallpox and successfully recovered. Like the emperor, he had already produced antibodies.
Kangxi looked at him with great satisfaction, then stood up and patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Very good, let Baocheng do this. Baoqing, you take your brothers to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. Let's see who does the best job. I will reward you handsomely when the time comes."
Kangxi was satisfied and began to call them by their nicknames affectionately.
Yinzhen: ...
He also wanted to study cowpox.
"You can also study cowpox."
He didn't want to see that long string of numbers anymore. It was giving him a headache.
Yinzhen felt very pitiful. How could there be such a miserable person like him?
This Yinreng is a quick-tongued person. Look how happy the emperor is.
Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's fine if you go alone. I understand your intentions. Okay, work hard and help me review the memorials on the case first. Let's divide the work and cooperate. I'll go to the prince's residence first."
After saying this, Kangxi waved his sleeves in a relaxed manner, and walked quickly to the bottom of the stairs. From his back, one could tell that he was very happy.
The joy of not having to deal with politics.
Most of the memorials were flattery of the ministers. Whenever they saw something rare, they would write it down and talk to him about it, which was very annoying.
Kangxi felt relieved, and Yinreng also felt relieved.
He suddenly felt no more pain in his heart, his breathing became smoother, and he felt stronger all over.
"In that case, I will go and take care of the cowpox issue first. After all, this is a matter of life and death, and it is a serious matter. My elder brother and younger brothers should understand."
After saying this, Yinreng also left.
Everyone gritted their teeth and watched Yinreng leave triumphantly, not knowing what to say.
Liang Jiugong considerately took out all the memorials and distributed them evenly among Yinzhen, Yinzhi, Yinzhen and Yinqi.
To be honest, unlike the statistics in the Ministry of Revenue, this was the first time they saw memorials written by ministers, and for a moment they were a little curious about what was in them.
Yinreng, who was walking far away, saw from a distance that several brothers had already picked up the memorials and started to read them impatiently.
As a child laborer, he was taken by Kangxi to the Yu Study to handle government affairs early on, and had a general idea of what was going on there.
I hope brothers won’t be scared by those people’s nonsense.
The marking was done very quickly, and the four people looked dazed, feeling that their cognition had changed.
Yinzhen did not expect that the memorial from the Minister of Revenue Ma Qi would also contain flattering content.
There was an immediate contrast between this and the image of the Minister of Revenue in my mind.
There is no important information at all.
But Yinzhen found a letter impeaching Longkodo.
It was written above that he favored his concubine and killed his wife, and the rumors were widely spread outside, which damaged the image of the imperial guards. It was hoped that Longkodo could be relieved of his post.
Yinzhen's hands tightened.
Longkodo was his uncle in name only.
Because he was adopted by the Tonggiya clan since he was a child, but Tong's mother was in poor health and passed away a few years ago.
However, Yinzhen himself still has connections with the Tong family.
He was busy with the Ministry of Revenue's affairs these past two days and hadn't noticed that Longkodo had gotten into trouble.
Favoring concubines and destroying wives?
Shouldn't this be something that happens within the inner house?
How come it became such a viral news that everyone knew about it?
Yinzhen put this memorial at the bottom, intending to put it off for a while.
He needs to go and ask to find out the situation.
But at the same time, Yinzhen looked at Liang Jiugong and his expression suddenly turned cold. Something was wrong. The emperor must have known it.
However, due to Longkodo's special status, Yinzhen did not touch the memorial, but put him in the most conspicuous place.
Waiting for the emperor to come back.
Prince's residence, Kangxi comes again.
Everyone in the palace of the Prince's Residence was in a state of panic. The Emperor really doted on the Sixth Prince. They knew he was coming, and there were people waiting for him at the door early.
The palace maid wanted to bow, but Kangxi kept walking and waved his hand: "No need to bow, what's the matter with you, Master?
"Doctor Zheng said that the dirty blood in your body has been discharged. If you take good care of yourself, you will definitely live a long life."
Eunuch Wang was extremely excited.
Over the years, he had only one wish, which was that the Sixth Prince could get better. Who would have thought that the Sixth Prince actually did it.
He felt that the Sixth Prince was the most blessed person in the Qing Dynasty.
Hitting bottom and rebounding, the Sixth Prince’s misfortune has passed, and his future will surely be smooth and healthy.
【Why are you here again? 】
As soon as Kangxi entered, he heard Xiaoliu's thoughts.
This little Liuzi really doesn't know what's good for him. He came to see him with good intentions, but he still got in trouble.
Yin Zhuo had just sent his mother away, and then he welcomed the emperor.
He is really a busy man, a busy man who is liked by everyone.
After Kangxi entered, he held his face and looked at it for a moment, then said in amazement: "Your face is actually showing some color. It seems that Doctor Zheng is of some use."
Previously, Kangxi almost had Imperial Physician Zheng executed because of Xiaoliu’s illness.
Now that Xiaoliu has recovered, Doctor Zheng is almost keeping him as a sacrifice.
If he could control the Sixth Prince, he would want to follow him closely.
This is his fate.
To extend the life of the Sixth Prince is to extend one's own life.
But the Sixth Prince's sudden recovery left Imperial Physician Zheng baffled.
He felt dizzy and dazed, and then the Sixth Prince was fine.
Every time the emperor questioned him, he felt guilty and could only fool him.
But looking at the Sixth Prince's situation, he should know the reason, but he didn't dare to ask what it was.
After all, the Sixth Prince and he were grasshoppers on the same rope.
The Sixth Prince also wants to live.
Yin Zhuo's face was held up, but he still stubbornly put away his drawing paper with his hands, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the paper basket.
"Why is the Emperor here again?"
Didn't they separate at noon?
[Do you have some kind of separation anxiety disorder? It's fine if you're just pestering my second brother, but why are you pestering me now? You'll be so heartbroken when I'm gone.]
Kangxi's attention was originally focused on the ink ball that Yin Zhuo had just destroyed. Suddenly, he heard Yin Zhuo's inner voice, and his whole body stiffened, and his hands unconsciously exerted force.
No, when did he stick to the second one?
He finally realized that Xiaoliu was totally out of touch with reality.
Yin Zhuo felt that his face was about to change, and his mouth was pouted: "You... are you kidding me!"
Let go, his face hurts.
Kangxi quickly let go and found a pair of red handprints on Xiaoliu's face, which had just turned a little red.
Kangxi felt guilty and changed the subject.
"What did you just throw away?"
As he spoke, a palace servant diligently picked up the paper balls in the paper basket and handed them to Kangxi.
Yin Zhuo glared at the young eunuch.
【You are so positive, so positive! 】
Seeing Xiaoliu's reaction, Kangxi became even more curious.
He picked up the paper ball and unfolded it. He couldn't figure out what was written on it at first glance, but he understood it at the second glance.
“Is this a painting of yourself?”
Yin Zhuo felt a little embarrassed and wanted to take the crumpled paper ball from his hand.
Kangxi dodged for a moment, and suddenly discovered that there were some dots on the face of the person in the painting.
Kangxi's hands trembled, and his beard blew up in anger: "Don't tell my father, you painted me."
When Yin Zhuo saw Kangxi's furious look, he quickly assured him, "No, no, this is my second brother."
[Huh, it seems like I should not have pockmarks on my face when I draw my portrait. The Emperor really does mind it. He calls me bald every day, but I am not angry.]
Kangxi was so angry that he hit him and said, "You are an unfilial son."
Yin Zhuo covered his head and retorted with tears in his eyes: "This is called realism."
