Chapter 44: Day 44 of Wanting to Die
Yin Zhuo fell asleep and continued to sleep, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
[Tomorrow he called me baby and insisted to sleep with me yesterday, but today he pushed me into the corner out of disgust. What a scumbag! ]
Yin Zhuo complained bitterly in his heart.
Kangxi was already in a bad mood, and now he was so angry that he almost exploded when he heard Xiaoliu's thoughts.
After lying on the bed, I couldn't help but kick him twice on the butt.
Yin Zhuo stood up:?
What does your Majesty mean?
She actually disliked him to such an extent?
Yin Zhuo stared at Kangxi with resentment. Kangxi felt embarrassed by his gaze and asked people to turn off the lights.
Yin Zhuo sat at the foot of the bed, hugging the quilt, feeling aggrieved.
Finally, Kangxi patted his side helplessly and said, "Hurry up and lie down. Really, you are so old, but you still insist on sleeping with the emperor. When your second brother was a child, I didn't sleep with him many times."
He also said that Xiaoliu was taking advantage of him.
I wonder how many people want to climb onto the dragon bed.
Only Xiaoliu doesn't know how to cherish it.
The other brothers would be so happy if such a good thing happened.
But when Kangxi thought about the picture, his face suddenly twisted. No, it's too hot for the eyes.
Yin Zhuo's little head glowed in the dark, swaying back and forth in a particularly funny way.
Kangxi held his little hand, pressed him down, let him lie down, and finally covered him with a quilt. Seeing that he didn't say a word, he breathed a sigh of relief.
What sin has he committed? He made people angry and in the end he has to comfort them.
Yin Zhuo was also sleepy, so he didn't continue to linger with Kangxi. Seeing that the emperor had given in, he turned over, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
[I'm sleepy. We still have a big fight tomorrow.]
Kangxi was originally in a daze, but he suddenly lost his composure after hearing about the big fight.
No, why did Xiaoliu look like he was going to the execution platform last time? He felt like he was ready to die.
Seeing Xiaoliu turning over in disgust, Kangxi also snorted, deliberately made some noise, and turned over to sleep with his back to Xiaoliu.
Yin Zhuo, who was feeling sleepy, felt a chill in his heart.
He felt like a poor little cabbage, poor Taiwan, and the emperor was simply inhumane.
Don't cherish it if you get it!
Carrying resentment towards Kangxi, Yin Zhuo fell into a deep sleep, and soon the sound of his regular breathing could be heard.
Kangxi then turned over gently, covered Xiaoliu with a blanket, and fell asleep listening to his little snoring.
Kangxi felt light-headed, but in the past two days, he felt that his sleep quality had improved a lot after sleeping with the noisy Xiaoliu.
Another dreamless night
When Yin Zhuo was called, his eyelids were glued shut and he couldn't open them even if he wanted to.
Yin Zhuo had only one thought in his mind, which was to sleep for another quarter of an hour. So let him sleep for another quarter of an hour.
Kangxi knew that Xiaoliu would be a bed-slacker, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless.
"I'll go wash up first, you go ahead later."
Kangxi was the emperor and usually appeared last.
Kangxi had left Liang Jiugong to look after Xiaoliu, but when he had packed up everything to go out for court, he found Liang Jiugong carrying Xiaoliu out.
Kangxi: ...
"What is this for?"
Kangxi didn't understand.
Liang Jiugong wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is dressed. I will lead him to the Golden Throne Hall."
No matter what Liang Jiugong said, the Sixth Prince is really good at acting coquettishly.
Liang Jiugong was also helpless.
But Liang Jiugong had never seen such a master in all the time he had been in the palace. Only the young masters would sleep so lazily.
The people in this palace all work hard to live, and never need to be urged to get up.
Who would have thought that he would encounter it today.
The Sixth Prince said in a soft voice that he would get up in a quarter of an hour, and he really waited for a quarter of an hour.
As a result, after a quarter of an hour, the Sixth Prince turned over and fell asleep unconscious.
This made Liang Jiugong very anxious.
The Sixth Prince was weak, and he did not dare to shout for help. He could only grit his teeth and follow the young eunuch to help the Sixth Prince put on his clothes.
The hat was crooked on her head and the braid of her wig was askew.
Kangxi was really impressed by this Xiaoliu.
He hardened his heart and asked someone to bring a wet handkerchief to him: "Xiao Liu, I have to go to court. If you don't want to go, go back to sleep. You only have one chance."
After saying this, Kangxi slapped Yin Zhuo's face with a handkerchief.
Yin Zhuo suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and said immediately, "Go, go, go."
Definitely going.
Kangxi snorted coldly: "Then why don't you go and clean yourself up."
What was Yin Zhuo packing? As soon as he opened his eyes, everything was ready.
After simply washing up, she followed Kangxi and left.
As for why there was a lot of noise, it was of course because Yin Zhuo also had his own little braid.
Although he hated this hairstyle, there was nothing he could do because everyone here had a semi-circular head.
When I think of the Qing Dynasty, I think of this kind of prince.
Well, he also has a fixed impression.
It's like when you think of zombies you think of Qing Dynasty officials. After all, the zombies in the movie are dressed exactly like Qing Dynasty officials. It may be because the Qing Dynasty is a dynasty that is closer to modern times.
Kangxi had not noticed that he had a new braid at first, but when he heard the sound, he turned around and saw that Xiaoliu was almost spinning with his round hat on.
The braid was about to affect him, Kangxi reached out and grabbed Xiaoliu's braid: "Where did you get this?"
Xiaoliu had very few hairs on his head, so where did such a thick braid come from? Kangxi touched it and it seemed to be real hair.
Kangxi's face darkened: "You didn't cut the braid of some eunuch, did you?"
This rebelling son, can you just cut your braid casually?
Yin Zhuo had had enough fun and felt a little dizzy. Hearing him say this, he touched his braid lovingly: "Father Emperor, are you really bald? Why is your braid so thin?"
Kangxi moved his lips twice, unable to speak, and listened to what Xiaoliu said.
He has the nerve to say that even though he doesn't even have a braid.
Kangxi said angrily: "That's more than the hair you have for a stolen braid, you little baldhead."
[What a lack of manners! Am I not just concerned about the old man? Little bald head, doesn't your father know why you don't grow hair? I'm so angry! ]
But Yin Zhuo was too angry to dare walk in front of Kangxi and give him a cold look, so he could only stay there angrily.
Kangxi walked in front with his hands behind his back and said twice: "You little bald head, hurry up and let the imperial physician treat your head. If you have no braid and your head is bald, even Fu Jin won't be able to find you."
【Personal attack!!】
Kangxi was really bad.
But Yin Zhuo thought this was good, since he didn't want to look for Fu Jin anyway.
“That’s great.”
Kangxi:?
Kangxi was defeated because he forgot that Xiaoliu was a person who did not play by the rules. There was no point in competing with him.
Kangxi suddenly laughed: "It's your fault, Father Huang. You got up so early in the morning and you were a little angry. Save your energy first. You will have the chance to contribute later."
Today is also the deadline for those ministers to repay their debts.
Isn't it time to put on a big show?
All have come to this day.
Yin Zhuo touched his empty stomach and said, "Is there anything to eat? I'll be able to have fun after I'm full."
Kangxi was silent, but finally waved his hand and asked someone to prepare breakfast for Xiaoliu.
He usually has breakfast after court.
Before going to court, he just dealt with it casually.
Yin Zhuo hadn't looked at the early morning sky for a long time, and he noticed a touch of color on the horizon, which was where the sun was about to be born.
Yin Zhuo held the braid in his hand, not thinking about anything.
Kangxi felt a moment of peace next to Xiaoliu, but suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable.
He looked at Xiaoliu and found him following him obediently with his head down.
Kangxi's originally anxious mood calmed down. He stopped and wanted to touch Xiaoliu's head, but the boy didn't look at the road and bumped into his arms directly.
Kangxi held Xiaoliu tightly in his arms.
Yin Zhuo blinked in confusion, then yawned in Kangxi's arms: "What's wrong?"
Kangxi pinched his mouth in disgust. How could Xiaoliu be so unpleasant?
Yin Zhuo's mouth was pinched and his eyes widened.
[What is the old man up to again? ]
Kangxi's face darkened for a moment. He loosened his hand, wiped Yin Zhuo's hat twice, then pushed him out and turned away.
Yin Zhuo was really impressed. The old man was looking for trouble early in the morning.
Yin Zhuo followed behind Kangxi with a hum, holding his breath.
Yinzhen, who had been waiting outside the Golden Throne Hall early, saw Xiaoliu following the emperor like a little tail, and then passed by them and entered the Golden Throne Hall first.
Yinzhen didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, the five brothers reserved a seat for him, but it turned out that he didn't need it at all.
Yinzhen felt a little sad because even the crown prince had never been treated like this before.
Yinreng, who rushed back from outside the palace in the middle of the night, was even more jealous.
I heard that Xiaoliu has even climbed into the Emperor's bed!!
He only had this kind of treatment when he was two or three years old. The rest of the time he slept alone, let alone sleeping with the Emperor. He never had this kind of treatment at all.
It turns out that the emperor no longer loves him.
Alas, he is still trying to get credit for Xiaoliu and wants to strike. He doesn't want to do this job anymore.
But Yinreng was just thinking about it. After all, if not for Xiaoliu, he had to think about the people of the world. You know, the world has suffered from smallpox for a long time.
How many people died of smallpox.
There has been no complete cure for all these years, and the cowpox that Xiaoliu mentioned is the one that brings them hope.
I hope this time I won't be disappointed and smallpox will completely disappear in the Qing Dynasty.
Yinreng collected his thoughts. His eyelids were swollen from lack of sleep, and he looked very frail.
Not to mention Yinzhen.
After working all night, he came straight to court without even changing his clothes. He was still wearing armor and looked murderous.
Ministers, don't say anything.
Last night, the eldest prince brought people to surround Lord Hilasun's residence.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was also in a mess.
Your Majesty is going to cause trouble both inside and outside the palace.
Who on earth is the Sixth Prince? He went to the Imperial Household Department during the day, and the Emperor followed him right after he arrived. Then when the Emperor led his men out, the imperial guards surrounded the Imperial Household Department.
Not only that, even American ginseng has been banned from sale in hospitals outside, saying that there are problems with the efficacy of the medicine, and they are waiting for the Third Prince to deal with it.
As a result, the Third Prince did not leave the palace the whole day yesterday. He came out of the palace with the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince after dark, all in a mess.
Sixth Prince, this is an indiscriminate attack.
They didn't even let their own brother go. Look at how ferociously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and these guys behaved. It's too tragic.
They rubbed their faces and felt miserable.
They are not as young as the prince and others, and cannot endure it any longer.
Just now I seemed to see another prince following the emperor, I don’t know who he is.
There are only two or three people of that stature in the palace.
He doesn’t look like the Sixth Prince, and even less like the Seventh Prince. Could it be the Eighth Prince?
Just now they saw that the prince was wearing prince's clothes and a small braid.
That definitely isn't the Sixth Prince, because the Sixth Prince has no hair.
Thinking of this, some ministers began to curse the Sixth Prince silently in their hearts, hoping that his hair would never grow and he would be bald for the rest of his life.
Humph.
You deserve not to have hair.
Can you grow hair if you keep causing trouble?
In fact, they sometimes suspected that the emperor was a scheming man who used the name of the Sixth Prince to cause trouble.
But everyone who has seen the Sixth Prince can remember his sly eyes, looking at you with sparkling eyes. He looks very innocent, but definitely not stupid.
Therefore, the Sixth Prince cannot escape the connection.
The mood of the people was very uneasy.
Today is the last day, and many ministers are still short of cash.
Through the matter of collecting payments from the Ministry of Accounts, they were able to see through their colleagues.
They all look honest and kind, but in fact they have gained a lot of benefits.
Among them, Lord Li, who borrowed the most, usually had his official uniform and clothes patched up and always said that he was poor.
As a result, when it came time to pay back the money, he was the fastest, bringing in money in cartloads.
Tsk tsk.
I've lost all my face.
There is no need to think about it. There is definitely no hope for a career in the government.
The emperor had praised him as an honest official, but this is what happened.
Lord Li is too embarrassed to go to the Emperor to retire and return home.
When Kangxi arrived at the Golden Palace and was about to step onto the throne, he discovered that the little tail was still following him.
Kangxi was amused: "Xiao Liu, why are you still following me? Go find your brother."
Kangxi waved his hands in disapproval.
Let him take a break.
Yin Zhuo: …
The emperor had indeed changed and no longer loved him.
Yin Zhuo went out again in the dark, walked up to Yinzhen, and sniffed aggrievedly: "The emperor doesn't love his brother anymore, he drove him out."
[Last night, he kicked me twice while I was sleeping and pushed me against the wall. Since the emperor is so heartless, don't blame him for being so cold-blooded and putting eye drops on my fourth brother. When the emperor dies and my fourth brother ascends the throne, I will ask the historians to write bad things about Kangxi. He is not afraid of being slandered anyway.]
Yinzhen really didn't know what to say. Xiaoliu and the Emperor were both speechless.
As the emperor, he actually kicked Xiaoliu's butt. This is too disillusioning.
The filters that Yinzhen had for Kangxi had already been shattered when he was forced to work for him, and now not even a trace of them remains.
What could Yinzhen say? He could only cover his mouth and pull him aside to stand: "Eat some beef jerky and shut up."
It was quiet all around, and everyone heard what Xiaoliu said.
When Yinreng heard Xiaoliu's thoughts, he thought of the fact that the fourth brother changed the names of the eighth and ninth brothers, and he suddenly fell silent.
He doesn't want to be called Aqina and Sethhei, so it seems he has to be nicer to the fourth brother in the future.
So as to avoid being scolded in history books.
Yinreng stood at the front. He was the crown prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Yin Zhuo pinched Yinzhen's palm: "My Royal Highness..."
Yin Zhuo wanted to continue speaking, but Yinzhen quickly stuffed another piece of beef jerky into his mouth.
Eat yours.
Yinzhen held his rebellious hand and told him to shut up.
If he says anything bad about the Emperor again, Xiaoliu will become the target of everyone's attacks.
After all, disrespecting the emperor is a serious crime.
Yin Zhuo frowned and thought for a moment.
[Forget it, if you don’t want to tell me, I’ll go down and tell you secretly that the beef jerky is quite delicious.]
After Yin Zhuo finished eating, he used his other hand to take out Yinzhen's purse, not being polite at all.
Yinzhen saw that he was not standing properly and was leaning against him crookedly. His breathing stopped. Finally, the purse containing beef jerky prepared for him by Fu Jin fell into Yin Zhuo's hands.
Yin Zhuo became obedient, but the other brothers who could hear his inner voice became restless.
Xiaoliu just ate it, but why did he act like a gourmet and keep repeating in his mind how delicious and fragrant the beef jerky was?
Their stomachs began to growl in protest.
The ministers behind him blinked in disbelief as they looked at the extra figure beside the Fourth Prince.
Is this the Sixth Prince?
The Emperor drove the Sixth Prince out?
No, how did you get this braid?
Didn’t they just curse in their hearts that the Sixth Prince would not grow hair?
How come it grew so much overnight?
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and thought of some strange events.
Yinqi had already taken action and took Xiaoliu's hat off directly.
Then everyone noticed that the braid had also been taken off.
Yinqi: ???
"No, what are you doing?"
We have all seen the bald Xiaoliu, so why does he have to put a little hat on himself?
Yin Zhuo turned back angrily and snatched the hat back.
"Don't move."
[Ignore Fifth Brother, he doesn't care about my feelings at all. Of course I think wigs are fun, but braids are ugly, so he doesn't care. ]
Yinqi: ...
Xiaoliu just doesn't feel jealous, he understands it all.
The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was a fake braid.
But the Sixth Prince is such a bad guy, he actually cut off my real braid...
The crowd was shocked again.
Moreover, the Sixth Prince can actually walk on his own without a wheelchair.
The effect of this last burst of light is quite good.
People don't know what to say.
Because a young eunuch in front of the palace was already shouting in a shrill voice.
"Going to court——"
The crowd divided into two lines and walked up the stairs on both sides.
Yin Zhuo had just come down from above and now he was about to go up again.
I don't know what the emperor is doing so much. When I saw him yesterday, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not glasses.
Didn’t he just break the jade walnut that he had been polishing for a long time?
Yinreng in front staggered.
Xiaoliu actually broke the jade walnut on the emperor's desk?
That is the emperor's favorite. It feels warm and smooth, and it is very comfortable to hold in the hand.
Yinreng originally stood on Xiaoliu's side, but after hearing his voice, he decisively turned against him.
Xiaoliu deserves it.
If he were the emperor, he would also be angry.
Yinzhen's mind hasn't yet reached this point. He is still thinking that Xiaoliu has been sleeping in the same bed with the Emperor for two consecutive days.
This was something he envied when he was a child.
When they were young, the emperor's father would take the second child to take a nap, and as the eldest brother, he could only watch silently.
I was too embarrassed to speak up.
I didn't expect that Xiaoliu is so old and still has the nerve to get close to the Emperor.
Not even as good as a three-year-old child.
He would never admit that he was jealous.
Once is a coincidence, but twice is something that people cannot help but think too much about.
Finally we arrived at the Golden Throne Hall. The night gradually faded away and the hall became brighter.
Kangxi sat majestically at the top.
With both hands on the armrests, he looks very imposing.
Yin Zhuo was also shocked the moment he raised his head.
But the next second, he was pulled by Yinzhen to kneel down and salute Kangxi.
Yinzhen pulled once, and Xiaoliu's legs were stiff and motionless. He pulled again, and Xiaoliu dodged to the side, then squatted down silently as if he was squatting in a toilet.
[Kneeling is impossible. This is my dignity. If the emperor dies before me, I might kneel down and kowtow to him with great difficulty, squat down and just pass it off.]
Yinzhen was silent. Xiaoliu was really asking for trouble.
I have to find something to do to feel happy.
Kangxi was so angry at this filial son that he laughed. He avoided his eyes and would not be angry as long as he didn't look at him.
Sure enough, after thinking this way, I felt much happier.
"My dear ministers, please calm down." Kangxi's voice was full of smiles, which was completely different from his state in the previous two days.
Two days ago, I wanted them to die here, but today, they are smiling and making people feel like spring breeze.
Something is wrong. Something is wrong. This is very wrong.
Everyone immediately took precautions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone said in unison that the scene was quite spectacular.
Yin Zhuo's feet were a little numb, so he grabbed Yinzhen's pants, used the force to stand up, and stomped his feet.
This time, everyone turned their attention to him.
"How dare you disrespect the Emperor?!"
A historian was just worrying about his poor performance, when he saw the Sixth Prince being disrespectful to the Emperor while kneeling before him.
He saw that the Sixth Prince did not kneel down at all, he was just squatting.
Who would have known that just as Lord Yu Shi spoke and was about to show off his verbal skills, Liang Jiugong said very tactfully: "No noise is allowed in the court."
Lord Yu Shi was suddenly speechless. Is this what the emperor meant?
What does the emperor mean?
Is the Sixth Prince really so rampant?
It's just horrible.
All of a sudden, everyone got to know the Sixth Prince again.
Even Lord Yushi and Lord Yu were stupefied...
Hiss, they'd better stay away from the Sixth Prince.
Tong Guowei behind him lowered his head and looked at the back of the person in front of him without saying a word.
He is in a lot of trouble now, so don't go and bring bad luck to the Emperor at this time.
Just be a nobody and watch others perform.
Tong Guowei knew in his heart that the Sixth Prince must have something to say when he went to court today.
Don’t know what’s going on?
Tong Guowei was quite curious.
Tong Guowei is not the only smart one. Although Suo Etu openly stands on the side of the prince, he is also a smart man.
What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing now will have great impact on future generations. At this critical moment, I cannot hold him back.
Kangxi sat at the top and watched everyone's little movements.
The corners of his mouth curled up in mockery.
"If there is something to report, come to court. If there is nothing to report, leave court."
As soon as Kangxi said this, it was time for everyone to start performing their pieces.
A minister stepped forward, and it turned out to be the Minister of Revenue Ma Qi: "Your Majesty, I have something to beat up."
Kangxi had expected this and signaled him to continue with his eyes.
"Thanks to my colleagues' kindness and cooperation with the Ministry of Revenue, by March of the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, a total of 3.3 billion silver coins had been lent out and 300 million silver coins had been collected."
Ma Qi had not expected the amount to be so huge, and what he has recovered now is less than one-tenth of it.
This calmed down Ma Qi, who had been excited for two days.
Kangxi did not expect the gap to be so huge, not even one tenth.
The expression on Kangxi's face did not reveal what he was thinking.
"Oh? It seems that you are ready to repay the loan today. I will wait for the good news from the Minister of Finance tomorrow."
Kangxi said directly that those people would not be given any chance to survive.
Yin Zhuo moved his little hand and raised it in front of everyone: "Your son has something to say."
Kangxi suddenly didn't want him to speak, after all, Xiaoliu's voice was too quiet, but the next second Kangxi felt that he was wrong.
[Is the Emperor stupid? Those retired people haven't paid back the money they borrowed. I wonder if he is planning to play dead.]
Kangxi was shocked and did not allow Xiaoliu to speak. He said directly: "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, those who have retired and returned to their hometowns, as long as they are still alive, remember to ask them to make up the silver they owe. Don't think that I can't pursue them because they are far away."
Ma Qi is also a joke. The emperor is so cruel.
"I obey your order, but please extend the deadline for a few days."
Kangxi nodded and said, "I am not the emperor who wants to kill everyone. One month is the deadline."
Ma Qi accepted the order: "Yes."
The ministers who were originally watching the show felt disappointed.
Your Majesty, would you like to hear what you are saying?
Isn't this called killing them all?
If there are a few spendthrifts in this family and they spend all their money, wouldn't the family be doomed?
Suddenly, there were sounds of sobbing in the court.
It's too difficult.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken advantage of you.
While everyone was terrified, there was one person who was extremely dissatisfied.
That’s Yin Zhuo.
【Those are all my words! 】
The Emperor actually snatched away his chance to show off, and Yin Zhuo felt very upset.
It's hard to describe this feeling, it's like I can't breathe.
Yin Zhuo grabbed Yinzhen's sleeve in grievance.
[The old man definitely did it on purpose. I want to put some eye drops on my fourth brother. The emperor once said that my fourth brother was cold-blooded and unfilial. It almost drove my fourth brother into depression. I have to find a chance to tell him.]
Yinzhen closed his eyes and said, "Don't look for another opportunity. Now that I've said it, it's out."
But Xiaoliu didn’t know about it.
The Emperor actually evaluated him like this.
Yinzhen had a sense of loneliness since he was a child. Tong E'niang was not his biological mother and was not close to him. After Tong E'niang passed away, he and Fu Jin moved out of the palace and built their own residence. His relationship with his biological mother, Concubine De, could not be said to be very close, but could only be described as polite.
Not to mention the Emperor.
There is no him at all.
He has been a little transparent since he was a child.
It was only after Xiaoliu recovered that he became the focus of everyone's attention.
Because Xiaoliu said he would be the future emperor.
Yinzhen blamed Xiaoliu, but he also wanted to thank Xiaoliu.
Because he understood something that he had never had before, which is brotherhood.
My mother and my father also started to pay attention to him.
Yinzhen's throat felt a little sour, a feeling he had never experienced before.
It's family love.
Yinzhen admitted that he was changing, his father was changing, and his mother was changing too.
Even some of the brothers have changed.
So does Little Fourteen.
Not knowing what to say, Yinzhen patted Xiaoliu's shoulder, as if responding to what he was thinking.
Yin Zhuo's grievance disappeared instantly.
Kangxi touched his nose and found Xiaoliu's anxious expression below quite interesting.
I knew there would be new discoveries when I took Xiaoliu to court today.
Sure enough, those retired people were forgotten.
It is only natural to pay back your debts.
Kangxi would not let them off with mercy.
He ascended the throne at the age of eight and was able to sit firmly on the throne for so many years because of his ruthlessness.
Kangxi turned the jade ring and called Yin Zhuo's name: "Xiao Liu, what do you want to say?"
Kangxi looked at Xiaoliu's thin arms raised high and felt like laughing.
He didn't care at all that Xiaoliu was disrespectful to him.
On the contrary, those who respect him on the surface but do trouble behind his back are the scary ones.
Seeing that Kangxi finally called his name, Yin Zhuo heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "What the Emperor said just now is exactly what I want. No matter where I borrow money from the national treasury, I must pay it back. Of course, if I die, it will be considered as resettlement fees."
Everyone was silent: ...
This is a rhythm that is pushing people to death.
Kangxi saw that he was talking nonsense again and stopped him immediately: "Even if you die, it won't work."
Don't commit suicide without paying back the money, or you will end up losing both your money and your life.
[The old man is really cruel. He won't let me go even after he dies.]
Kangxi: ...
The ministers: They are indeed father and son, this is a really vicious idea.
Never let them go, even if they die.
It seems that this money is not enough.
Those who originally planned to become lazy people are a little anxious and uneasy.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he admired the expressions of the people below with satisfaction, and then continued to nod to Xiaoliu: "Go on."
The faces of some ministers turned pale.
Still going on.
Is this just the beginning?
Nalan Mingzhu stared at the person next to the Fourth Prince.
The Sixth Prince is very thin, but the change is too great.
The main question is why the attitudes of several princes towards the Sixth Prince are so subtle, even the Emperor is the same.
He considered himself to be a very savvy person, able to communicate with everyone, but the Sixth Prince really confused him.
Yinzhen also looked at Xiaoliu curiously and found that his fair little face had become serious.
The whole person's demeanor changed.
Yinreng was also curious about what Xiaoliu would say?
Cowpox? American ginseng? Eggs? The Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Yinreng thought it should be the Imperial Household Department.
Yinreng also heard that the emperor asked several brothers about the price of eggs.
After he knew the real price, he was furious. The eunuchs in the palace were so bold that they even lied about the price.
He deserves death.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs did a good job.
If he hadn't been troubled by cowpox, he would have wanted to come here personally and thoroughly investigate the Imperial Household Department.
If he hadn't taken the detours that Xiaoliu mentioned, the throne in this life would most likely have fallen into his hands.
After all, he was the successor cultivated by the emperor.
Yinreng also believed that he had lived up to his father's training.
Yinreng was indeed a little sad before, but now he has figured it out.
He will change his bad habits and be a good prince.
Do your job well.
First take care of the prince, and then take the rest one step at a time.
But now he is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, second only to the emperor.
Yinreng regained his previous arrogance.
But the difference from before is that he is much calmer now.
Suo Etu was also very pleased that the Crown Prince had grown up.
Yinzhen also pricked up his ears. He was now moving outside the palace and had missed a lot of things.
He didn't know when everything would be settled, he also wanted to be like the Emperor and be by Xiaoliu's side all the time.
Just like today, when the other brothers saw Xiaoliu coming to court, none of them looked surprised, they must have known the news in advance.
Unlike him, who had been busy all night and felt dizzy.
All I know is money.
No wonder the emperor was always worried about losing money, it turned out that all the money was stolen by ministers and people from the Imperial Household Department.
Yinzhi and Yinqi also looked up to watch the show, and were surprised to see Xiaoliu's serious look.
What big thing happened again?
Oh, so tired.
But if it is a major matter for the country and the people, they will also help Xiaoliu.
For a moment, the ministers felt that the other five princes seemed to be protecting the sixth prince. They didn't know whether it was an illusion or something else.
Anyway, the impression these princes give people has changed.
How should I put it? Before, there was a sense of distance between us that made us wish we would never see each other again.
Now it was as if there was a transparent thread stringing them together, and the end of the thread was at the Sixth Prince.
Because the five of them looked at the Sixth Prince with some worry.
Yin Zhuo didn't know that his brothers were worried about him. He only had one thought in his mind.
[It is our duty to rescue our female compatriots who have been persecuted by foot binding! ]
Now it's up to him to do it.
[Now that I’m here, I can’t let more girls be persecuted by foot binding, lose their freedom, or even lose their lives. If this works, I can die with my eyes closed.]
The others didn't know what the Sixth Prince was thinking, they only noticed a hint of shock on the faces of the Emperor, the Crown Prince and the others.
I don’t know what I felt.
The crowd could not get an answer to their puzzlement, so they could only turn their attention to the Sixth Prince in the crowd.
Yin Zhuo bowed respectfully to Kangxi, then raised his head and looked at Kangxi with bright eyes.
Yin Zhuo took a deep breath and then spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, I want to speak up for the women who are suffering all over the world!"
Everyone was a little confused.
No, the Sixth Prince only left the palace once after he recovered, and even the common people rarely saw him. So why should he speak out for the suffering women all over the world?
No one could figure out what was going on, and each one looked more confused than the other.
Then discuss it quietly with the person next to you.
"What are you talking about, Sixth Prince? The world is peaceful and the people are prosperous. How can the people suffer under the emperor's rule?"
"Yeah, not to mention women, the ones who do the hard work are all men, right?"
"Sixth Prince, you are talking nonsense. Besides, Sixth Prince is not even old enough to serve. How can he attend court with us?"
"That's right."
Yin Zhuo almost laughed when he heard the discussions behind him.
He turned around and walked to the minister who said that those who do the hard work are men, then raised his head slightly and looked at him.
"Since you said so, then the one who gave birth to you and raised you must also be a man? You are a member of the royal family, right?"
Yin Zhuo directly revealed his identity.
He is a branch of the Aisinjue Luo family, and he did not become an official through the imperial examination.
The man was caught off guard by the Sixth Prince and said those words, his face immediately turned red.
"The ancestors are doing good for us."
"That's not as good as my ancestors!"
[You want to compete with your father, right? I can’t kill you! You shameless bastard. 】
Kangxi looked at Xiaoliu like an angry little rooster and waved his hands: "Come here, take him down and find out why he is qualified to attend the court."
You have to know that not every official can attend court, there are rank requirements.
This royal family member is obviously a fool. I don't know whose connections made him so successful.
When the emperor spoke, the man's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
His family's title would last to this generation, so he asked his relatives to get him a fifth-rank official position, but he said the wrong thing.
If he were to be dragged down, he wouldn't know whether he would be dead or alive.
But he didn't even dare to ask for mercy.
I could only look at the Sixth Prince with resentment.
Finally, he said unconvincedly: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has no qualifications to attend the court, and he is a bald prince."
Yinzhen and his companions were speechless when they heard this, because they were also bald princes.
Maybe Xiaoliu will escape from the ranks of bald princes earlier than them.
This person made a mistake and offended the person he should not have offended.
Who knew Yin Zhuo would not play by the rules? He took off his hat and revealed his bald head: "How do you know I'm a bald prince? But so what? My father is the emperor!"
The man regretted it the moment he spoke, and now he didn't resist. He kicked his legs and passed out.
Yin Zhuo even suspected that he was pretending to be dizzy.
When the other ministers heard the Sixth Prince's words, their blood pressure soared.
Listen, is this something a prince should say?
Just say that your father is the emperor, who can compete with you?
A typical dandy behavior.
I'm going to die. The thought of going to court with such a devil is terrifying.
How did the Sixth Prince get better?
All of this started when the Sixth Prince suddenly stole a corpse that day.
Is this the disaster that will last for a thousand years?
well.
It's painful enough now, and I have to be a colleague with the Sixth Prince in the future...
They don't want to live anymore!
Yin Zhuo snorted coldly, turned around, walked back to where he was standing before, stood again, and then bowed to Kangxi again.
"Your Majesty, I was interrupted by a few bad guys. I will start over again."
Kangxi was still thinking about how to do it again, but he ended up watching Xiaoliu do what he had just done again.
Bow first, then speak loudly.
"I want to speak up for the suffering women of the world! Eradicate the old custom of foot binding and give women all over the world freedom!"
"Bound feet?!"
People thought about everything except foot binding.
Is it okay to bring such a private matter to the court?
What does it matter to Sixth Prince whether one binds his feet or not?
The Sixth Prince's management is a bit too lenient.
You know, not everyone can bind their feet.
Only people of high status would bind their feet.
You should know that during the reign of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma caused a lot of discussion because of her big feet.
However, women in the Qing Dynasty did not need to bind their feet because they could ride horses and shoot arrows.
Country girls don't bind their feet because they need to work, and if they do, their poor families will lose a labor force.
That is a symbol of low status.
"I know that every year countless women lose their lives and freedom because of foot binding, and they cannot sleep or eat well because they are trapped in those three-inch shoes. I am not worthy of being the son of the Emperor! I am not worthy of being the younger brother of the eldest brother, the crown prince, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother!"
Kangxi, Yinreng and others: …
That's not what you said when you cheated us.
