Chapter 6: The Sixth Day of Wanting to Die
Yin Zhuo didn't remember clearly what happened in the 34th year of the Kangxi reign.
We know about the 35th year of Kangxi's reign because history books record Kangxi's expedition against Galdan.
The small information I saw at that time said that Galdan was half human and half god, and even Kangxi had to go on three expeditions to completely destroy him.
This is what Yin Zhuo saw when he was searching. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
Anyway, Galdan was also a great hero, but he invaded the land of Qing Dynasty, harmed the people of Qing Dynasty, and his opponent was Kangxi.
The final cause of death remains a mystery.
But Yin Zhuo didn't feel sorry at all, because the land that was invaded was all our dynasty's land.
Anyone who invades our territory will be punished, no matter how far away they are.
So he deserved it.
Yin Zhuo put all these behind him first. He might not even see the sun in the 35th year of Kangxi's reign. There was no point in talking about these things. He just had to live well for the next two months.
[It's a pity that my eldest brother won't be able to see his eldest son. I don't know what my nephew Hongyu was like when he was just born. Hongyu may not have the time to see him, but Hongxi still has a chance. I'll find a chance to ask the prince to bring my nephew Hongxi over for me to play with. It should be a really fun time when he is six or seven months old.]
Yin Zhuo looked at Yinreng with sparkling eyes.
Yinreng's mouth twitched and he took a step back.
Ahem, he didn’t even dare to hold his son for too long, let alone take him out for Xiaoliu to play with.
What if I peed all over myself and got sick?
No, no.
Yinreng refused madly.
Yin Zhuo showed a lovely smile: "Second brother, when you are free, I will go to see nephew Hongxi. I will prepare a red envelope for him. During the Chinese New Year, I was sick and didn't even give him a red envelope. I will make up for it this time."
Yinreng was about to refuse when he received Kangxi's death stare. What else could he do? He could only use his fat son to appease the emperor and Xiaoliu. He actively said, "When my brother is free, I will bring Hongxi to see you."
"Yes, yes."
Yin Zhuo agreed immediately, and then he heard Kangxi say with his hands behind his back and a serious face: "I will take Hongxi to the Qianqing Palace tomorrow, and then I will send someone to pick you up."
Yin Zhuo was overwhelmed by the favor. Kangxi had arranged everything for him directly, which couldn't be better.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Only Yinzhi was looking at Yin Zhuo with resentment behind Kangxi and Yinreng. Yin Zhuo was a little confused. Did he do something to make his elder brother unhappy?
But Yinzhen didn't say anything, nor did he ask.
[I am about to die. If you are still not happy with me, just bear with me for a few more months. Please let me go. I am about to break. If you don’t, I will break in front of you and give you nightmares.]
Yinzhen: ...What is broken?
What did he do? He was the worst offender. He had to go back tonight to continue to coax Fu Jin. Alas, this was what he deserved.
We shouldn't be so happy and proud before things are settled. Well, now we have to wait another year.
Fu Jin was angry with him, and it was uncertain whether Hongyu could be born on time.
Yinzhen was almost worried to death.
He gave in, he gave in, wasn't that enough? Xiaoliu must not break in front of him, he was afraid that the emperor would break him to vent his anger on Xiaoliu.
By then, Hongyu was nowhere to be seen.
But since Xiaoliu said so, Yinzhen has already begun to look forward to the birth of his son, and he will do his best to make him proud.
According to Xiaoliu's wish, his son's name is Hongyu, which is a nice name, much better than Hongxi. Although he is one or two years younger than Hongxi, he will definitely be more successful than Hongxi in the future.
He just can't stand this second kid showing off.
Isn’t it just because of a better background?
No one else can compare to him.
He was very dissatisfied with Yinreng being the crown prince. According to the seniority ranking, he was the eldest son, while Yinreng was just the legitimate son.
Yinreng looked back at Yinzhi and realized his intention. He knew what was in his mind without even having to guess.
Yinreng looked at Yinzhi with great disdain.
Let’s talk about it after your son is born first. At least he can hold and touch his Hongxi, but we can’t even see Hongyu now.
Kangxi didn't care about the twists and turns between the eldest and second sons. He was so satisfied that he finally coaxed the sixth son to come over. He didn't have to run to the prince's residence again and again every day. It was tiring to play the role of a kind father.
Kangxi felt that fortunately he had always been a strict father, so none of his sons were disobedient, which saved him a lot of worries.
Otherwise, if there were another person like Xiaoliu, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.
It’s difficult enough to deal with Xiaoliu alone.
He would seek death if he disagreed with something. The key point is not to scare people, he really can kill himself if he says so.
During this period, Kangxi was a little anxious because of him.
Xiaoliu's desire to survive is too weak, he is simply not like a normal person. Now he wants to break in front of the boss. This is not okay. Kangxi thinks he should find some time to have a good talk with him. He should not break at every turn and should try hard to stay alive.
How wonderful it is to be alive. With him around, Xiaoliu can't stand any grievances, not to mention that there is also a Defei who treats Xiaoliu like her own eye and protects her.
After the matter was finalized, Kangxi curiously asked Yin Zhuo why he came here.
"Xiao Liu, what are you doing here at this time?" Kangxi absolutely did not believe that this person was here to pick him up.
Yin Zhuo had a lot of random thoughts in his mind, but when he heard Kangxi's question, he realized that he came here to find Yinzhen.
He stretched his little head to look behind Kangxi, then said eagerly, "I'm here to look for my fourth brother."
Ministers: Oh my, the Sixth Prince is trying to build a relationship with the Crown Prince and show goodwill to the Fourth Prince. Is he planning to pave the way for the Fourteenth Prince?
Although they were ministers, they still heard some news from the palace.
For example, as soon as the Sixth Prince recovered from his illness, he became very concerned about the Fourteenth Prince's studies. Even when the Fourteenth Prince was under house arrest by Emperor Kangxi, the Sixth Prince still went to someone to ask for the daily teaching content of the teacher in the study room and urged the Fourteenth Prince to study on his own.
This is definitely a good brother who cares about his younger brother.
Now, because of the Fourteenth Prince, Concubine De has come to the Golden Palace to wait for the Fourth Prince to leave the court.
I don’t know how he plans to make friends with the Fourth Prince.
It’s quite pitiful to think that he is almost dying and still has to worry about the future of the Fourteenth Prince.
After all, the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Prince haven't had much interaction over the years, just like the Fourth Prince and his wife were not born to Concubine De, and they are not as close as the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince when they get along.
This scene was truly rare. For a moment, all the ministers stopped walking and pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on.
The Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince: Oh? Little Six is here to see the Fourth Prince?
Kangxi: ...He knew that Xiaoliu was not here to pick him up, but what did Laosi rely on?
The last time they went to see Xiaoliu together, neither of them had much communication. Could it be that something urgent had happened that made Xiaoliu wait directly until the throne?
So everyone made way for Yinzhen who was standing behind.
Just like that, Yin Zhuo and Yinzhen faced off, one standing in the crowd and the other sitting in a wheelchair, one taller than the other.
[Well, this bald guy is still okay with a hat on. I need to take good care of my face to be better than his.]
The anxiety on Yin Zhuo's face suddenly disappeared.
Kangxi, the Crown Prince and others turned around and glanced at the Fourth Prince.
How can such a cold face be good-looking?
How are they any different from Lao Si? Why doesn't Xiao Liu praise them?
Kangxi was the most unbalanced one. He touched his beard and thought, after all, he was only in his early forties, not very old. Why did Xiaoliu keep calling him an old man?
Wait for him to find a chance to ask him.
Anyway, he is definitely stronger than Xiaoliu now.
Yinzhen's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Xiaoliu was coming to see him.
Could it be related to children?
He looked at the boy on the chair and found that their eyes were very similar, but Xiaoliu's eyes were always bent, as if he was smiling.
Yin Zhuo is still observing.
Then Kangxi and others heard Xiaoliu's evaluation of Yinzhen.
[Is this my cold-blooded, iron-faced, and selfless fourth brother Yongzheng? He is indeed dark-faced and difficult to get along with. No wonder so many people are afraid of him. He is indeed scary. So scary~ I am kidding you. I am not afraid. Lululu.]
Yinzhen: ...
He was shocked when he heard the first half. What is cold-blooded and ruthless? What is the King of Rolls and the Emperor of Liver? Is Fourth Brother Yongzheng talking about him?
Yongzheng...
What kind of title is this?
Yinzhen felt a little cold. He felt that the eyes of his father and several brothers beside him were on him.
Yinzhen was not panicked at all. He didn't believe that the emperor and his brothers would dare to ask the sixth little boy directly what Yongzheng was.
So Yinzhen remained calm.
But what made him uneasy was the content and tone of Xiaoliu's second half...
Xiaoliu is too nagging, Yinzhen's hands are a little itchy.
What is Lululu? Does he still think of himself as a child?
childish.
Kangxi also felt that Xiaoliu was indebted. It was not a big deal, but he felt very unhappy about it.
Aren’t you afraid of the fourth one?
Kangxi felt that he was almost scared to death. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiaoliu didn't dare to change the position of his hands on his thighs. He sat upright on the chair with a well-behaved look on his face.
Yinreng, who was giving way to the side, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Emperor Yongzheng...
This title contains both the word "king" and "emperor". How powerful will the fourth brother be in the future?
No wonder Xiaoliu just called him the deposed prince. It turns out that he was the one who was deposed in the end.
Yes, considering that the emperor would still be on the throne for more than 30 years, he would definitely not be able to resist taking action, and the result is obvious.
Failed.
Yinreng looked at Yinzhen with mixed feelings. He was the least prominent among the brothers, and who could have thought that he would be the heir in the end.
This is simply unthinkable.
Yinreng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. His eldest brother had been watching him covetously all these years, and his younger brothers were also growing up. Although he was the crown prince, his sense of crisis was growing more and more.
After all, those who understand history also know that from ancient times to the present, it is not possible to sit firmly on the throne just by becoming a crown prince.
It looked like he had failed, too.
Yinreng stared at the back of Kangxi's head with a gloomy look, not knowing why he was deposed.
Kangxi received the resentful look from Yinreng and decisively pretended not to know. He really knew nothing now and it was useless to look at him.
Yinzhen also found it hard to accept it. What was the fourth brother's basis?
Although Yinzhi and Yinqi had no intention of competing for the throne, they felt complicated for a moment when they heard that the fourth son would take the throne in the end. Who could have expected this?
When the ministers saw the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince staring at each other, they were stunned. The Emperor, the Crown Prince and others also looked deep in thought, and no one knew what they were thinking.
No, what did you know?
They were confused. Did the Sixth Prince just tell them what he wanted to do with the Fourth Prince?
Did they miss it? But no.
People really don't understand what tricks these royal father and son are playing.
Seeing that everyone had a strange expression on their faces, Yin Zhuo thought that they found it strange that he came to see Yinzhen, so he simply told them the purpose of his visit.
"I came to discuss the education of Fourteenth Brother with Fourth Brother. I found that Fourteenth Brother deserves a beating. I can't beat him by myself. I will need Fourth Brother's help when the time comes."
As he said that, Yin Zhuo immediately clasped his fists, showing a very chivalrous manner.
Then he hurriedly lowered his head to grab the blanket that was about to fall off, and his fist-holding movement became crooked.
Yinzhen: ...
In fact, you are in a hurry too.
To be honest, Yinzhen's hands were itching at this moment.
It was rare for Yinzhen to have such an impulse.
I want to beat my brother.
The ministers were bewildered.
It turns out that the Sixth Prince came to tell the Fourth Prince to be nicer to the Fourteenth Prince.
This is to seek help, no, it feels like thugs.
Isn’t it said that the Sixth Prince cares a lot about the Fourteenth Prince?
Why does she look so eager to take the Fourth Prince with her to beat someone up?
