Chapter 63: The 63rd Day of Wanting to Die

But at the same time, Kangxi was quite curious about Yinzhen, and he took a rare look at the child seriously.

According to Xiaoliu, Yinzhen presided over the state funeral of him and the fourth brother.

You have to know that not everyone can be competent for this state funeral. Only someone he can trust and rely on can have such an honor.

Before he died, what he was most worried about, besides who to pass the throne to, was his own funeral.

After all, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, even if he died, his funeral had to be beautiful, otherwise he would not be able to rest in peace.

Aren’t these the things that matter in life?

No wonder Xiaoliu is so nice to Xiaotwelve.

If it were him, he would also be sincere.

Yinzhen was weak and helpless, trembling all over. The looks from the Emperor's father and the sixth brother were so scary. They kept staring at him and still laughing.

Yinzhen really felt that he didn't have that much ability.

He wiped his head guiltily, then lowered his eyes and pretended to be dead. Don't look at him!

He is only ten years old this year.

Yinzhen refused to accept the offer and said that if his sixth brother died, he could also collect his body and hold a funeral for him.

So, it’s okay to not have Twelfth Brother, he is still here.

He will definitely live longer than Sixth Brother.

Kangxi snorted coldly: "It is not my fault that they were forced to do this job. They did it voluntarily. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Yin Zhuo stared, he never expected the emperor to be so shameless.

[It's really funny. Who would be willing to take the initiative to do the work? Wouldn't that be a complete fool?]

Yinzhen smiled bitterly, he was just a big fool, he was willing to work.

But now he regrets it. At his age, he should stay in the Shangshufang, which is where he should be.

Yinxiang and Yinzhen also looked at each other and touched their noses. They had thought so before. Who wouldn't want to work for the Emperor?

But now I feel regretful. It was such a simple thing, but in their hands it made me confused.

Seeing that his brothers were silent, Yin Zhuo said in disbelief, "No way? You all work on your own initiative? Are your awareness so high?"

Are they all so self-righteous that they actually asked the Emperor to take the initiative to work?

He has begun to reflect on himself.

[The Emperor is really resourceful. My second brother has been experiencing the life of a high roller since he was five or six years old. Now he is so cruel that he lets his eight or nine-year-old brothers start to experience work in advance? Is this still the Emperor? Is he a workaholic? It is possible. The emperor's father reigned for 61 years and started attending court at the age of eight, so... he may really be used to this rhythm. But don't force it on the child. In history, the second brother has been forced to be abnormal. Well, how can I say it? I think it is true that Kangxi chose the fourth brother to be the emperor because he was optimistic about Hongli. After all, both of them are model workers. But Qianlong was okay in the early period, but he became incompetent in the later period. He almost surpassed his father and became the longest-reigning emperor in history. But at that time, he respected Kangxi very much and didn't want to exceed his reign, so he abdicated and became the emperor emeritus. He was the emperor emeritus for several years and lived to the age of 89 before he died. 】

Kangxi was stunned. That kid Hongli lived to be eighty-nine years old?

Then the first thought that came to my mind was that everything made sense. No wonder he could write more than 40,000 poems and live so long.

Although it is still exaggerated, even Kangxi would be jealous of such a long life.

But it must be said that if Qianlong was incompetent in his later years, he would have abdicated earlier. What's the point of reigning only one year less than him?

Kangxi secretly made a decision. Since Xiaoliu had come, he would not only be in power for 61 years, but he would also live.

But he doesn't have to be on the throne. If the time is right and a few of his favorite sons grow up, he can also become the emperor and enjoy his life.

After all, he couldn't occupy the throne forever and watch the tragedy that Xiaoliu described happen again. All Xiaoliu's efforts would be in vain.

Kangxi reflected on himself and sighed. Xiaoliu was right. He had too strong a desire to control Yinreng.

After all, that was the child he raised.

Yinzhen was shocked. How long did the fourth brother's son live? How many years did the fourth brother reign? It shouldn't have been long. At least not as long as the emperor's father and Qianlong.

He thought again about the Emperor's usual performance. Except for the last few days, he was really diligent and hardworking. His days were fully scheduled and he liked to do everything himself.

They had only seen the Emperor a few times in the Shangshufang, but they had seen him a few times in E'niang's palace.

Tsk, the Emperor is so busy on weekdays, yet he still has time to visit the harem. Doesn’t he spend this time with my elder and second brothers?

Pay more attention to the children. Including the Fifteenth, the Emperor already has fifteen sons and eight or nine daughters, which is a lot.

Yes, what Sixth Brother said is absolutely right. We should pay more attention to our children.

For example, asking him to read each book 120 times and memorize it 120 times, he can't do it at all, it's totally unreasonable.

There are also big characters to write every day.

His hands and neck were sore from writing.

This time, Yinzhen decided to stand on the side of his sixth brother. He really could not reach the standards that the emperor could reach.

He doesn't care. He just doesn't like studying or memorizing.

But other than that, the study is still a lot of fun.

He wants to learn things, but he doesn't want to learn them over and over again.

This is also the reason why Yinzhen hates studying.

Yinzhen and Yinxiang didn't dare to speak to each other at all.

Yinzhen didn't care how long he could live. After all, he was the one who sent away his father and fourth brother personally. What's more exaggerated is that he almost sent away Emperor Qianlong as well. So it was estimated that he could live to be eighty or ninety years old.

It’s good to be alive, only by being alive can there be a future.

I don’t know what the Qing Dynasty will be like in a few decades.

But seeing how nervous the Emperor and his brother were, as well as the foreigners that his sixth brother described as being very fearful of, he felt that the future direction of the Qing Dynasty would definitely be related to foreigners.

The foreigners cheated the Qing Dynasty out of so much silver, which was in the hundreds of millions.

Why was so much money taken away? There is only one answer: defeat compensation.

When Yinzhen thought of these four words, his whole body trembled.

The Qing Dynasty is now chasing after Galdan. Isn't their military force strong enough?

The foreigners who were far away on the other side of the ocean actually dared to act so presumptuously on the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

Simply arrogant.

Yinzhen looked at the emperor with burning eyes. The emperor must know something.

The moment he saw the Emperor, his heart suddenly calmed down. Don't be afraid, the Emperor is here.

He has eleven older brothers to support him.

But what he was worried about was not this, but the Qing Dynasty after their death.

Yinzhen's gaze seemed to travel through time and see the scene he had imagined.

He shook his head to get rid of this unrealistic idea.

But if that is the case, they have to take the initiative.

After all, if the younger generation can achieve such a situation in the future, it is already their incompetence. They, the elders, must make plans in advance to leave a glimmer of hope for the future.

Or to remove the weeds at their roots.

Yinzhen was not a stupid man. On the contrary, all the princes in the Qing Dynasty were not stupid men.

Yinxiang said nothing, pursed his lips and looked at the emperor with a serious face.

Not seeing any angry expression on his face, he finally let go of the worry he had for his sixth brother.

Is it okay for Sixth Brother to say these things?

But what he heard next frightened him so much that his legs went limp.

Yin Zhuo secretly glanced at the Emperor's father and his brothers, laughing secretly in his heart, he thought of a funny thing.

[Speaking of the Emperor's affair with the second brother, I thought of some interesting things. When the Emperor's father went out, he usually left the second brother behind to supervise the country. But according to gossip, when the Emperor's father left, he would take a piece of clothing that the second brother had worn.

[That’s not all. He often wrote letters to show his concern for his second brother. But every time, the emperor wrote more letters, and the second brother didn’t reply. I think the emperor was annoying enough. The second brother finally managed to get away from the suffocating care of the old father, but he still wrote to the second brother every day. That’s not all. When the emperor didn’t reply, he even said that the second brother didn’t reply to his letters, and that he didn’t have the emperor in his heart. Anyway, it was the old father who was sad, and then he forced the second brother to reply to him.]

【When his second brother was deposed in the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, he lay in bed for days in grief and could not fall asleep. He even ran out to see his second brother secretly. He was also worried that his other sons would hurt his second brother, so he directly surrounded the place where his second brother was imprisoned with a high wall. In this way, Kangxi felt that his second brother was safe and those outsiders could not hurt him. He also regained his spirits and was able to sleep well. Tell me, if this is not a psychological problem, then what is it? You are relieved, but have you asked your second brother what he thinks? The way to feel at ease is to imprison your second brother with a higher wall. 】

[The second elder brother is also a person. He helped the emperor a lot. When he was young, he became a "political tool", a tool for Kangxi to surrender to the Han people and accept Han culture. For this reason, the second elder brother was personally taught by the emperor to get up early every day to recite the classics 120 times, and then recite 120 times...]

[Alas, think about it, the relationship between them is too complicated. The second brother loves the emperor, and the emperor also loves the second brother, but this love is too suffocating. The second brother is like a gourd without a mouth. He is your father, you can make trouble for him if you think he is annoying. You are his son, you also need your own space, you also need to rest. ]

Thinking of this, Yin Zhuo's eyes became moist.

Alas, he sniffed. They were both wrong. The eldest brother shouldn’t blame the second brother.

But it is also very touching to see the father and son, who were once very close, come to such a point.

Yinxiang's face turned pale. It was well known that the Emperor was good to his second brother, but sixth brother, please don't say it directly in front of the Emperor.

You can’t blame Sixth Brother, he was just thinking about it in his heart.

But when he thought about what the Emperor had done to his second brother, he felt a pang in his heart.

What a huge mistake did the second prince make.

Since the Emperor is still thinking about the Crown Prince, why doesn't he lock him up? It would be fine if he just locked him up, but he also felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep for days. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

找罪受就算了，為了讓自己安心，還讓人把二哥圈禁的地方給加高圍了起來。

胤祥真的不知道說什麽好了。

對了，二哥被圈禁的時候，他是不是也被關起來了。

原本胤祥還在同情二哥，現在也不管了，他還是因為惹怒皇阿瑪，被皇阿瑪厭惡才圈禁起來的。

他原本還為二哥打抱不平，結果現在一看，小醜竟是他自己。

他比二哥都慘！

胤祥真無語了。

你們父子有話好好說不行嗎？

非要牽扯無辜人士，他真的懷疑他成了皇阿瑪遷怒的對象。

二哥落不得好，所以讓他們幾個阿哥也一并去陪二哥受罪。

果然，小六說的沒錯，皇阿瑪腦子有病。

他們父子二人都不正常。

胤裪無話可說，皇阿瑪為二哥想的還真全面啊。

竟然為了二哥的安全去立了一座更高的牆來保護他。

不知道他這片“好心”在二哥心裏是怎麽想的，反正他覺得二哥應該想不到有人竟然會有這種方式去關心他。

胤裪酸酸的，皇阿瑪之前離不開二哥，現在離不開六哥。

啧啧，皇阿瑪離了兒子不能活是吧？

希望皇阿瑪對小六好點，別再想什麽獨到的寵愛了，他六哥身子骨弱，承受不來。

皇阿瑪的愛太濃烈了，不是一般人能夠理解的。

說實話，他真的想知道當時二哥的心情，看着門外被加高的牆，不知道對皇阿瑪的心是否更冷了。

可能之前還有一絲悔意，但那一刻可能都變成了怨恨。

門外要進來的四個人都驚呆了。

皇阿瑪的愛，他們也承受不來。

幾個人皺了皺鼻子，皇阿瑪也挺那啥的，雖然說他是皇阿瑪說他壞話不好，但你出門的時候為什麽要帶着二哥的一件衣服啊！

還是穿過的！

啊啊啊啊，有潔癖的已經要尖叫了。

康熙此刻的臉色已經黑了紅，紅了綠。

看着小六微紅的眼睛，心中有火都發不出來。

他不是，他沒有！

但反駁的力度沒那麽大，他确實幹過其中的幾件事。

但還沒有發生的事他是不會認的。

這是康熙僅剩的倔強了。

察覺到幾個兒子都偷偷摸摸的瞅着自己，他老臉一紅，背過身去，伸手給自己順了順氣，小聲的念叨：“孩子是無辜的，孩子是無辜的。”

他要不勸勸自己真的要忍不住去敲小六腦門了。

唉，要不是不能說出來，他真的想賄賂一下小六。

他的小六啊，以後關于他的事就別再心裏念叨了，皇阿瑪也是要面子的。

但現在只能啞巴吃黃連，有苦說不出。

主要是他的面子在這幾個小兒子面前算是丢盡了。

他餘光一轉，看到門口呆愣的那四個目瞪口呆的看着他，一副傻乎乎的樣子，忍不住扶額。

怎麽這邊還有人在聽，看樣子肯定是聽到了。

他想解釋，但小六又在場，只能僵硬着用眼神威懾了幾人。

看着還在發呆的小六，康熙實在是沒忍住，過去用雙手撕扯了一下他的臉，別說，臉上還真長肉了。

看來這段時間養的不錯。

想着，康熙手上更用力了。

尹灼連忙掙脫，捂着自己的臉，眼淚這下子是真的掉下來了：“幹嘛啊？您掐我！”

康熙不認：“胡說，朕是捏捏你臉上的肉，看你有沒有養胖，朕在關心你。”

康熙撕扯了兩下小六的臉，覺得氣一下子就順暢了。

見他可憐兮兮的瞪着自己，冷哼一聲：“不識好人心。”

【你是好人？你就是掐我！掐我的！臉上絕對有紅印子了。皇阿瑪更年期到了怎麽不換個人霍霍啊，一直掐我的臉算怎麽回事啊？真倒黴。】

尹灼揉了揉自己的臉，也不能真的跟康熙較勁。

但在他不知道的地方，康熙摩擦了一下自己的指尖，得找個機會再捏一下。

剛剛捏的不痛快。

尹灼還是有點不服氣，他把臉湊近小十四，然後小聲的道：“快給六哥看看，臉上是不是有手指印？”

【要是有手指印，康老頭，我是不會罷休的！我也要捏過來，捏不過你，就捏你兒子！】

尹灼眯着眼，打着鬼主意。

原本還很心疼他的小十四，聽到這話，連忙道：“沒有，六哥臉上什麽都沒有，而且皇阿瑪真的是關心你。”

說着，他扭頭，不忍心看六哥盯着兩個手指印不敢置信的看着他。

唉，他撒謊了沒辦法，他是為了自己的臉着想，誰讓六哥想報複的是皇阿瑪的兒子，他可是最小的，所以胤祯覺得六哥最可能報複的就是自己了。

想着，他眼不看為淨。

別怨他六哥，他也是為了自己。

胤祯握了握小拳頭，因為心虛，一直低頭。

尹灼不信：“不可能，我都能感受到那兩個手指印在的地方火辣辣的疼。”

他看胤祯不理他，直接去找另外兩個小的，結果胤裪跟胤祥也說沒有。

尹灼站在原地覺得真是奇了怪了。

他摸了摸自己的臉，不知道是不是三個弟弟都這麽說，他覺得應該是自己的錯覺。

【這樣的話，可能還真是誤會皇阿瑪了，難不成剛剛的疼是我的錯覺？】

尹灼狐疑的擡頭看皇阿瑪。

康熙皺眉，輕斥道：“怎麽着？朕沒做就是沒做，現在死心了？哈。”

康熙最後沒忍住哈了一聲，想笑又硬生生的憋回去。

尹灼：……

尹灼真是覺得奇了怪了，皇阿瑪又在笑什麽。

算了，這不是重點，他今天的重點是來邀功的。

尹灼直接從懷裏掏出了一疊紙，然後放到康熙面前：“皇阿瑪這些事香水和肥皂，洋人那邊的玩意，咱們自己也能生産。”

尹灼朝康熙挑眉。

康熙真的要忍不住。

小六臉上一左一右有兩個他剛剛捏他臉留下的手指印，這還不算，主要他頂着這張臉還一直做怪表情，真的很好笑。

但康熙是皇上，在朝堂上一座就是一早上都能忍住不去恭房，這點事對他來說還是小意思。

他臉上保持嚴肅，翻開那疊紙，臉色都變了。

由黃變紅，然後恨鐵不成鋼的道：“以後你別再外人面前寫字，雞爪子撓的都比你寫的好看，還有，你把字寫那麽大做什麽？”

怪不得他剛剛看小六面前鼓鼓囊囊的，一張紙就寫十幾個字，一個個都大的跟拳頭似的。

尹灼不好意思的撓頭：“兒臣還沒學會寫把字寫小。”

他也想啊，但他要是寫下了就成墨團了。

康熙嘆氣搖頭，拿小六也沒辦法，然後繼續翻，翻着還淡淡說了一句：“你們四個就喜歡在外面站着是吧？”

聞言，外面的七八九十終于想起來要進來了，連忙對皇阿瑪行禮，康熙不耐煩的擺手，讓他們坐着去。

康熙翻完，然後揉了揉眉心，收了起來，不想再看第二眼，小六那字實在是辣眼睛，但好歹能看懂。

他喝了一口茶：“東西朕收着了。”

尹灼還在期待的看着他：“皇阿瑪看完了，然後呢？”

尹灼指了指自己。

康熙故作不懂：“難道小六不是獻給朕的嗎？”

尹灼一頓：“算是吧。但皇阿瑪難道不該賞賜點什麽嗎？”

康熙這個時候才恍然，然後放松的往後一靠：“朕先幫你存着。”

尹灼：……

然後下一秒，當着衆人的面，尹灼直接一屁股坐在地上：“兒臣不管，兒臣現在就要，你給兒臣存着，那也不是兒臣的，而且你記憶還不好，要是忘了兒臣什麽都沒有了！”

說着，他還直接躺在地上，直接在康熙禦案前打起滾來。

屋子裏都驚呆了，這是什麽走向？

六哥，你可是大清的阿哥啊！

怎麽說滾就在地上滾起來了？

但皇阿瑪好過分啊，六哥肯定給的是好東西，皇阿瑪不賞賜就算了，竟然還糊弄六哥說他給六哥存着，怎麽讓人那麽不信呢？

而且賞賜就是賞賜哪還有存着的道理。

尹灼直接賴在地上了，反正地上也不髒。

他直接爆發了，康熙不給他賞賜，他就不起來。

“給我給我！”

康熙臉都青了：“小六，你多大了？！這屋子裏就你最大，你竟然直接當着這麽多弟弟的面打滾？”

說實話，康熙真是低估小六的臉皮了。

這屋子裏就他的年紀最大，不想着在弟弟面前維護自己的形象，反而直接躺在地上撒潑打起滾來了，太丢臉了。

尹灼滾暈了休息片刻，聞言大聲的嚷嚷：“你還是皇阿瑪呢，你言而無信。”

康熙不認：“朕可沒有答應過你什麽？”

尹灼躺在地上哭：“小白菜，地裏黃，皇阿瑪說話不算話~小六小，真可憐，被欺騙——”

康熙真是被氣笑了，他還唱起來了。

一旁的胤祯也着急的過來，勸道：“六哥你先起來，皇阿瑪不是那樣的人，他肯定會給的，地上涼。”

尹灼看着單純的十四，痛心疾首：“十四，這已經是第二次他說這樣的話了。”

胤祯瞪眼，皇阿瑪還真的幹過啊！

康熙則有些得意，不，是第三次。

But Xiaoliu had come prepared this time, and Kangxi felt sorry for him, so he said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a reward. I'll give you 10% interest on the money you make. How about that?"

Yin Zhuo lay on the ground and thought for a while.

But he felt a little uneasy, so he sat up and nodded, and was about to reply, but suddenly he thought of something and said directly: "No!"

[Who knows when the distillation technology will be developed? I don’t know if I will live to see it, and I may not even see the money.]

Kangxi was helpless: "This won't work. Tell me, what do you want?"

Yin Zhuo wiped his tears and then stated his request: "I want a house, to build a mansion outside the palace."

Kangxi frowned, sighed, and said sadly: "Do you really want to leave the palace? Is there nothing in the palace that you would like to remember? Your father-in-law really loves you in vain."

[Heh, enjoy yourself. I want to go out of the palace and enjoy myself.]

Kangxi would never let him leave the palace to build a mansion. Hearing his thoughts, he thought: "It's not possible to leave the palace to build a mansion. You haven't married Fujin yet. How about this? The emperor will reward you with a courtyard and you can name it yourself."

Yin Zhuo stopped crying, patted his butt and stood up: "Yuanzi?"

【Is it a big garden like the Old Summer Palace? No, that’s not right. The Old Summer Palace was not completed or hadn’t started to be built at that time. It should have been completed in the 48th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign. Unfortunately, such a big garden only existed for more than a hundred years. It was finally burned down by the British and French allied forces. The treasures and antiques in the garden were looted and are still in foreign museums. If you want them, you have to buy them yourself. Some of them cannot be bought back even with money.】

Yin Zhuo felt depressed when he thought of those antiques that couldn't return home yet.

Kangxi was not as calm as he appeared.

Yuanmingyuan? He had never heard of this garden.

But how could the royal garden be allowed to be burned by the British and French forces?
