Chapter 64: The 64th Day of Wanting to Die

Besides, he had never heard of the name of this country.

The other brothers were also shocked, wondering what this was going to be.

Why would someone break into their garden and set fire to it and steal things?

Is there no one left in the capital?

Kangxi looked unhappy, and so did everyone else.

Yin Zhuo had already patted his butt and sat down. He was not a childish person who would lie on the ground and make a scene without thinking. It was all because of the Emperor's treacherous behavior.

He did so much, but he didn't reward himself with even a penny.

Yin Zhuo was very unhappy.

This is the only way to achieve your goal.

He sat down, put his hands on his legs, and looked at Kangxi like a good boy. He said seriously, "Father, if that's the case, I want the garden."

【Summer is here, I can go there to escape the heat. When I die, I want to bury everything in the garden with me. That way, at least the things can be preserved. It is better than letting those people take them away. After all, when the British and French forces burned down the Old Summer Palace, they took away what they could and destroyed what they couldn’t. They didn’t even leave the tiles of the Old Summer Palace alone. They burned what they couldn’t take away.】

Kangxi: ...

That damn Anglo-French coalition was so rampant!

A surge of anger welled up in his heart. Is there really no way?

No, since Xiaoliu has already said that the Qing Dynasty will be attacked by foreigners in the future, Kangxi can no longer focus on the north, but must also pay more attention to overseas.

But what he still couldn't understand was why it had come to this?

How did the Qing Dynasty become like that?

A mouthful of fishy-sweet taste rushed into his throat, but Kangxi forced it down.

It would be a lie to say that he was not anxious before, but there was no real example that could allow him to see the specific threat posed by foreigners to them.

Just like Xiaoliu said, paying money and being cheated of money by foreigners.

But these were not enough to alert Kangxi.

But now Kangxi was given a real picture: in the future, the royal garden was flooded with foreigners, burned, looted, and this was simply a shame.

As an emperor, he actually let people burn his own garden in front of him?

It was burned, and all the things inside were stolen. From what Xiaoliu said, they are still in a foreign country, so if we want to get them back, we can only buy them with money. But you can't just spend money and buy them back.

Kangxi really didn't know what to say.

It's really powerless.

The other people were also very angry. If they were not afraid that Sixth Brother would notice something was wrong, they really wanted to vent their anger on the foreigners.

That’s too much!

It is simply trampling on royal dignity.

No, the Qing Dynasty had already ceased to exist when Sixth Brother went there.

The Qing Dynasty fell, just like the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties in history, it was overthrown.

Yinzhen's eyes turned red from anger, and he felt suffocated and aggrieved.

Kangxi looked unhappy, and Yin Zhuo was a little confused: "Will the Emperor be reluctant to part with it?"

【Why do you look so ugly? 】

Kangxi responded, "Why not? You go back first, and I will give you the imperial edict directly later, how about that?"

Yin Zhuo thought about it and felt that in front of so many brothers, the emperor would not go back on his word. He said trustingly: "I believe in the emperor."

Kangxi ordered someone to send Xiaoliu away.

Yin Zhuo felt something was strange, but the emperor's face was indeed not good. He was afraid that Mr. Kang would change his mind again, so he just followed him.

Before leaving, he said to his brothers, "You've worked hard today. Go back and rest early."

Yinsi was the most understanding person. Hearing his sixth brother's caring words, he felt warm in his heart, but after his sixth brother left, he showed a bitter smile on his face.

It's impossible to go back and rest early.

He couldn't understand why the Qing Dynasty had suffered such a great change after a hundred years, and he believed that the emperor couldn't understand it either.

Just as Yinsi was deep in thought, a cry of surprise broke his thoughts.

Kangxi vomited blood!

Kangxi had been enduring it, but after seeing Xiaoliu leave, he could no longer hold back the blood in his throat, and he collapsed on the chair as if he had aged a few years.

Several people were frightened.

Yinyou was the oldest among them, so he immediately asked someone to find Doctor Yu, and then he helped Kangxi sit up to prevent him from falling.

Several people were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Why did the emperor vomit blood?

Now they all gathered around Kangxi, kneeling at his feet and looking at him worriedly.

After Kangxi spat out the blood, he felt much better, but his vitality was still damaged. He waved his hands and said, "I'm fine. Don't tell your sixth brother."

Yinyou and his companions had tears in their eyes and immediately responded, "Okay, I won't tell you. Your Majesty, please ask Doctor Yu to come and take a look."

Kangxi refused again: "No, not now, your sixth brother just left."

Everyone understood that the Emperor did this to prevent the Sixth Brother from worrying.

Kangxi took a sip of water, then said with a sad look on his face: "I heard what your sixth brother said just now."

Yinyou said quickly: "I heard it, don't worry, I will defend the Qing Dynasty till my death and will definitely not let it become like that."

He didn't say what that was like, but everyone understands that the Qing Dynasty was extremely humiliated more than a hundred years later.

It's so frustrating.

Allowing foreigners to break in, burn, kill and loot, while displaying their own things in their country for people to see, is a slap in their faces, letting everyone see that they were once defeated and those things were trophies.

Kangxi touched Yinyou's head and felt sad: "Who would have thought that those unfilial sons would be such wastes?!"

Kangxi was rarely angry, and smashed the inkstone with a bang.

If he were to do this, just as Xiaoliu said, he would die with his eyes open.

Yinsi comforted him, "Don't be angry, my father. You need to take care of yourself. Right now, Sixth Brother is the biggest turning point. We still have a chance."

After listening to this, Kangxi calmed down a little: "I know, but no one knows what the overseas world is like. Maybe they are now stronger than the Qing Dynasty. Do you still remember the textile machine? Xiaoliu said that the textile machine was invented by foreigners. It was the beginning of the first industrial revolution. Are they changing now?"

In the Qing Dynasty, people still lived a self-sufficient life with men farming and women weaving, and their industry and commerce were not developed.

Kangxi looked at the imperial seal, stunned for a moment, and then murmured: "So, is it wrong to close the country?"

He began to doubt himself.

According to Xiaoliu, closing the country to the outside world is really useless. If it were useful, those foreigners would not be able to come in, let alone burn down the Old Summer Palace.

Yinsi's heart was moved: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead people to explore the overseas countries. In ancient times, Zhang Qian explored the Western Regions and found a Silk Road after more than ten years. Now I am also willing to share your worries and find out the details of the overseas countries for the Qing Dynasty."

Kangxi was so shocked by his words that he was speechless.

The others also looked at Yinsi, never expecting him to make such a decision.

From the Sixth Brother’s voice, we knew that the Eighth Brother was not an ordinary person.

But I didn't expect that he would go directly to explore overseas.

Their impression of overseas is vague, as if covered by a layer of fog, and they have no idea what accidents will happen along the way.

But myna actually dared to say such words, and for a moment even Yinzhen admired him.

Mynah bird is really brave.

Unfortunately, he is too young.

Yinzhen hated his age countless times. He was only eight years old and could not do anything. He could only watch his brothers work while he studied in frustration.

Not being able to do anything, being unable to do anything, that feeling was too terrible for Yinzhen.

Who knew that Yinzhen also kowtowed to Kangxi solemnly. After that, he looked at Kangxi seriously and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with my brother."

Although Kangxi was very moved, he also had his own considerations: "You are too young. I will find someone to go, and when the time is right, I will let you go. I agree."

Yinzhen and Yinsi looked at each other with joy in their eyes: "Thank you, Father Emperor."

"I'm afraid the shipping company's ship can't sail that far."

Kangxi also had his own worries.

The Qing Dynasty’s ships are not very good.

Yin'er's eyes turned, and then he said, "Your Majesty, why don't you lift the sea ban first? That way, we will have ships, right?"

Kangxi's mouth twitched.

This guy, they are such a great country, but they turned into a bandit and robbed other people’s ships?

But Kangxi thought it was okay.

"Alright, I have my own considerations. You all should withdraw and go find your brothers."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he drove away all of them.

Seven people stood outside the door, all with serious looks and frowns on their faces.

If the maritime ban is lifted, the residents of the fishing villages along the coast will probably have trouble living in peace again.

But there is no other way. We can’t just sit and wait for someone to come to our door.

Let’s see how the Emperor arranges it.

Thinking of this, they turned their gaze towards Yinsi and Yinlu again. Both of them had excitement on their faces and were not afraid at all.

They are willing to go to sea.

They also want to make contributions.

They are also citizens of the Qing Dynasty and cannot allow themselves to be insulted by foreigners.

Therefore, it is better to strike first.

As an elder, Yinyou patted the two on the shoulders and said, "After we find the brothers as ordered by the Emperor, let's have a meal together and share our thoughts."

Although they are brothers, they don't have much time to communicate.

After hearing Sixth Brother's thoughts, he stopped communicating with him for fear that the Emperor would feel resentful.

But now, facing the survival of the Qing Dynasty, none of this matters.

They are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they must work together for the future of the Qing Dynasty.

Live and die together.

After Yinsi said those words in front of the emperor, the burden in his heart was gone, and he smiled lightly: "Okay, let's chat too."

Yinzhen had no objection: "Of course, I will be busy from now on. I have to choose what to bring on the ship. If the foreigners don't pay, it will be over."

But he has a bigger mission, to make money.

Earn money and give it to Sixth Brother.

Sixth brother just needs to be a mascot in the palace and wait for their good news.

Now Yinzhen is very emotional. Fortunately, he has many brothers, otherwise his sixth brother would have to do some things.

It would be bad if Sixth Brother got tired.

Sixth brother is going to have a new garden, so he needs to think carefully about what gift to give him.

For a moment, everyone smiled in relaxation and became closer to each other.

It's not like before where we were superficial brothers and you schemed against me and I schemed against you.

Liang Jiugong also secretly brought Dr. Yu from the Imperial Hospital to examine Kangxi.

But just as Doctor Yu took the patient's pulse, a small tail appeared behind him.

Yin Zhuo's hands were shaking behind his back, and his face looked a little bad, but he still appeared in front of Kangxi with a calm face and asked, "What's wrong with your father?"

He had just been at the Imperial Hospital, asking Doctor Zheng to give some tips on preventing the epidemic and then post them.

Summer is coming, and people are prone to getting sick, and epidemics are even more frequent. As a result, when I went out, I heard a familiar figure secretly taking a doctor out.

Feeling uneasy, he followed them out, even leaving his wheelchair at the Imperial Hospital, and followed the two cautiously.

Then we saw them entering through the small door of the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Yin Zhuo felt something was not right at the time. The Emperor must be ill, and was doing it secretly, so the situation must be very serious.

Sure enough, after he came in, Mr. Kang's face changed: "Why are you here?"

Didn’t Xiaoliu leave early?

Although the bloodstains had been cleaned up quickly, Yin Zhuo's dog nose was very sensitive and he immediately smelled a faint smell of rust.

He had vomited blood several times before, so he knew what was going on.

He asked directly: "The emperor vomited blood? What happened?"

No wonder, when he left, the Emperor's face didn't look very good, maybe he was not feeling well at that time.

Kangxi looked away, but finally gave up: "It's all because you haven't taken good care of yourself, and you keep vomiting blood, so you infected me."

Yin Zhuo stared. What does this have to do with him?

He had never heard that vomiting blood could be contagious.
