Chapter 65: The 65th Day of Wanting to Die
Old man Kang is definitely trying to pass on the blame.
But to be honest, Yin Zhuo's heart was stabbed when he saw the old man's ugly face.
Now he could finally understand how his father, mother and brothers felt when they saw him vomiting blood.
Yin Zhuo frowned. Seeing that he was worried about him, Kangxi felt very relieved. Xiaoliu was so worried about him.
He smiled and rubbed Xiaoliu's forehead: "Don't wrinkle your hair, you've become an old man."
He continued, "I'm really fine. I've been overworked lately."
Yin Zhuo was watching with tears in his eyes, and he leaned on him: "Father Emperor, you should take care of yourself more. Why did you send me away when you were already feeling unwell?"
Yin Zhuo didn't understand what the emperor was thinking.
Kangxi sighed and said, "You are still young, and your father doesn't want you to worry."
Yin Zhuo felt a pang of sadness: "I am already fifteen years old, not young anymore, and can help the Emperor."
Kangxi turned his head and looked at him, as if he didn't know him. Yin Zhuo felt embarrassed by being looked at, and said fiercely: "Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"
Seeing his expression change, Kangxi said with some amusement, "I wonder when you have such a high level of enlightenment?"
Didn’t you complain before that you didn’t want to work?
Yin Zhuo turned away a little embarrassedly: "That was before. Your Majesty also said that one should look at others with new eyes after three days of absence. Your Majesty, please don't underestimate me."
Seeing that Kangxi was about to continue speaking, Yin Zhuo reached out and covered his mouth. He had better give him some face in front of the imperial physician and Eunuch Liang.
Yin Zhuo winked at Kangxi.
Kangxi never exposed his children's shortcomings in front of outsiders.
Yin Zhuo quickly said to the imperial physician: "Let's take a look at the emperor's health first."
He planned to stay tonight. Although he knew that Kangxi could live for another twenty years, he still felt a little worried.
【After all, the emperor is getting older. 】
Kangxi felt warm in his heart, and he did not hesitate to ask the imperial physician to check his pulse, regardless of his illness or the risk of seeing a doctor.
The imperial physician was trembling with fear at first, but after hearing what the emperor and the sixth prince said, he was moved by the affection between father and son, and he felt a little more relaxed. The emperor was even in a mood to tease the sixth prince, so it seemed that there was no big problem.
Finally, the imperial physician's diagnosis came out.
"Your Majesty, this is caused by your blood and qi attacking your heart. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You should drink it for two or three days. Then don't get angry in the near future. After all, you have seen blood and your vitality has been damaged. Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."
The imperial physician is also worried, and the emperor is also very good to the imperial hospital.
What he said was from the bottom of his heart, and he sincerely hoped that Kangxi would get better.
Kangxi knew the reason himself, and he waved his hand and asked the imperial physician to write a prescription and have someone prepare the medicine.
He knows exactly whether he is okay or not.
But with Xiaoliu beside him, he did not dare to act recklessly and could only listen to what the imperial physician said obediently before the physician sent him away to make medicine.
What will Xiaoliu do if he is gone in the future?
No, at most he still has twenty-three years to live, which is not enough.
Kangxi felt that he had to pay attention to his health.
He stopped the imperial physician who was about to leave and said to him, "Please give me some more prescriptions for maintaining my health. I am getting older and feel weak."
The imperial physician was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the emperor to directly say that he was getting old. He wanted to mention this just now, but gave up after thinking it over.
After all, as an emperor, no one would want others to talk about his age.
They shouted "Long live the emperor!", and this was indeed the true thought in the hearts of emperors of all dynasties.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
The emperor is indeed old, and his body has already shown signs of illness. The imperial physician has just taken his pulse and has a plan in mind.
I'll have to rewrite the recipe later.
The imperial physician left, and Liang Jiugong also left tactfully.
Yin Zhuo was still sitting beside the bed. Kangxi touched his hand and said, "Why don't you put on more clothes? It's cold at night."
These little hands are so cold.
Yin Zhuo put his hand into his big hand and said unhappily, "You are worried about your Majesty. If I were not careful, I don't know how long you would keep this a secret from me."
Kangxi sensed his concern and smiled, "I'm fine. I've experienced everything over the years."
Yin Zhuo asked him to lie down: "Your Majesty, please rest first. I will watch over you. I will call you when the medicine comes."
Kangxi followed his force and lay down, then sighed: "Xiao Liu is really considerate, unlike other brats who only make me angry."
Yin Zhuo was unhappy: "Your Majesty, please don't say that in front of the other brothers. We are all your children, we are all the same. Your Majesty should not be partial."
Then he whispered, "Even if you are partial, you have to be careful not to be discovered by the other brothers, otherwise they will be jealous of Xiaoliu."
Yin Zhuo chuckled.
Seeing him like this, Kangxi couldn't help but laugh: "You, by the way, just now Yinsi and Yinlu told me that they wanted to learn foreign languages and see the world overseas, but I scolded them."
Kangxi pretended to be angry.
Yin Zhuo stared in surprise.
[Old Eight and Old Nine actually have such ambitions?! If they had such an idea, why didn't they implement it earlier? Why did they have to fight for the throne? Didn't they get stopped by the Emperor? Didn't the Emperor think that these two brothers were disobeying him and said so on purpose? After all, the country is still implementing a closed-door policy.]
Oh, what can one say?
[I never expected that the one who was holding us back was actually Mr. Kang.]
Kangxi was really convinced. How could Xiaoliu be so smart? Why was he the one to blame now? He was really wronged.
What is going on?
But he has to take the blame, after all, he wants to know what Xiaoliu thinks.
Kangxi pretended to be arrogant and said: "There is no country in the world more powerful than the Qing Dynasty. Those two brats actually want to go to a backward country to study. Isn't this slapping me in the face and looking down on the Qing Dynasty?"
“Bang!”
Yin Zhuo couldn't help but slap Kangxi on the arm.
【Haha, Pu Xinnan is really stupid! There is a saying that goes "there are always people who are better than you, and there are always mountains who are better than you". How can this stinky old man think that the Qing Dynasty is the center of the world? You are really stupid, you old man, you broke the wings of the Eighth and the Ninth, and you broke the way out for the Qing Dynasty! Don't look down on others now, just wait and see, wait a hundred years, and see who will fall behind, and see who will be bombarded by others' artillery fire. 】
Yin Zhuo's face was distorted, and he wanted to pinch Kangxi to make him calm down and think more.
Kangxi let out a sigh of relief. It was true. The next hundred years would be the century in which the Qing Dynasty would widen the gap with other countries.
Those who fall behind will be beaten.
They had always closed their country and were complacent, which eventually led to the Qing Dynasty being humiliated at the gate and allowed to act recklessly in front of the royal family.
It's all his fault.
It's true that he closed the country, but he was too anxious for stability.
Kangxi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he was back to his previous state, as if the evil look just now did not come from him.
Yin Zhuo looked at Kangxi's face, which was indeed a little older. He rubbed Kangxi's arm as if nothing had happened, then pounded his arm with his fist and said, "Father, your brothers have dreams, and as their father, you should support them. Just let them go and see what kind of fame they can create. Anyway, you have many sons, so one or two less doesn't matter."
Yin Zhuo said recklessly.
Kangxi was so shocked by his last words that he started coughing. Yin Zhuo quickly patted him on the back and said, "Hey, don't worry, Your Majesty. I was not wrong."
[You have more than 20 sons. You are so energetic even at your age.]
Kangxi's face turned slightly red. Fortunately, his skin was not as white as Xiaoliu's. Although there were candles lit in the room, it was not as bright as in the daytime and could not be seen.
Xiaoliu is such a scoundrel that he even dares to make up stories about him.
Kangxi hit him, avenging a personal vendetta, and then glared at him: "Nonsense, those are all your brothers."
Yin Zhuo covered his chest which was hurt by the beating and glared at him.
Did he want to hit me on purpose?
Kangxi's thoughts were exposed, and he closed his eyes and said impatiently: "Alright, alright, I have an idea in my mind. You are all debt collectors. I gave birth to you in vain."
Kangxi simply didn't want to look at Xiaoliu.
Yin Zhuo pouted: "Humph."
When Kangxi heard his snort, he turned over in anger.
Yin Zhuo gave up and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Your Majesty, seriously, we can let them give it a try. Maybe..."
Kangxi turned back and pushed his little face away: "I didn't say I disagree, but we can't let them set off rashly now. They are still young and don't have a boat. Who knows how far they will go and what they will encounter."
Yin Zhuo lowered his head in thought, then said in agreement: "Yes, the Emperor still has the idea."
Seeing that he was rubbing his back like a lackey, Kangxi naturally instructed him: "A little to the left, yes, yes, that's it, good, good, good, a little to the right..."
So while waiting for the imperial physician to prepare the medicine, Yin Zhuo's hands and feet became limp from the torture, and he successfully served Old Master Kang to sleep.
When Yinreng, Yinzhi and the other three came back after finishing their work, they heard someone report that the Emperor wanted to see them about something, so they hurried over.
As a result, when they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, they smelled a scent of medicine. Everyone's heart sank, and they rushed straight to Kangxi's bedroom without stopping.
When they reached the door, Liang Jiugong was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, Prince, the Emperor just fell asleep, and the Sixth Prince is also inside talking to him. Now..."
He didn't dare to wake the emperor.
Yinreng knew his dilemma and raised his hand: "It's okay, let's be gentle. By the way, what happened to the emperor?"
Liang Jiugong told everyone about the emperor vomiting blood just now, and everyone was panicked: "Why would he vomit blood when he was fine?"
梁九功如實道：“太醫診斷說皇上是氣血攻心，這段時間過于操勞。”
幾個人都沉默了，過于操勞他們能理解，但到底是什麽人能夠把皇阿瑪直接給氣吐血了啊。
皇阿瑪什麽大風大浪沒見過，什麽時候有這麽大的情緒波動了？
一時間衆人也不多停留，急匆匆的來到了康熙床前，見小六垮着一張小臉給皇阿瑪按摩，一時間衆人有些猶豫。
皇阿瑪這到底嚴不嚴重啊，怎麽小六還拿拳頭捶皇阿瑪的背呢。
康熙已經聽到了一些動靜，迷迷糊糊睜眼。
看到五個大兒子們回來了，擦了擦嘴角然後揮了揮手，讓旁邊的人在他身上作怪的手停下。
“好了好了，皇阿瑪差點被你捶過去了，你歇着吧。”
康熙坐了起來，給五個人賜座。
尹灼則是滿臉委屈：“皇阿瑪都被兒臣服侍的睡着了，醒過來了倒是嫌棄起來了。”
【小老頭你心口不一啊。】
康熙臉皮已經鍛煉出來了，聽到了他的心聲也裝作沒聽到，更別說小六說的話了，他直接讓小六回去。
“行了，我跟你幾個哥哥有要事要說，你先回去吧。”
康熙十分無情的讓人把小六給送回去。
然後就見小六一臉他是渣男辜負了他的樣子，氣呼呼的道：“皇阿瑪，你翻臉不認人，怎麽哥哥們來了，我就不能呆在這了？”
康熙道：“也行，你幾個哥哥都剛從宮外回來，手上的活應該還沒做完，既然如此，小六就幫幫他們吧。”
尹灼：……
他大吼一聲：“走就走！”
十分有骨氣的大步離開。
這大戲唱的，把幾個人看的一愣一愣的。
這次康熙特意讓人把他送到了阿哥所，見他進了自己的院子才讓他回來禀報。
可別在跟剛剛一樣，走到半路又自己拐回來了。
小六走了之後，藥也熬好了，康熙喝完，靠着枕頭，把下午的事言簡意赅的給說了。
再加上他剛剛試探小六說的那些那內容和心聲都一清二楚的說給了太子和四位阿哥聽。
胤褆覺得屈辱。
眼睛赤紅，對着康熙道：“皇阿瑪，兒臣不會放過他們的，兒臣要打到他們門前！”
竟然敢如此欺辱滿清，真不拿他們當盤菜看啊。
康熙皺眉：“你先別急，你們的心情朕知道，但現在要如何應對未來發生的事，那時我們都不在了。”
胤褆這才反應過來，對啊，那個時候他們不在了，現在生氣也沒有用。
胤禛是最難受的，皇阿瑪信任他把大清交到了他的手裏沒想到他的後代竟然如此廢物。
胤禛心中有股氣堵着，竟然被人欺辱到了皇城裏了。
真沒用啊。
胤禛指甲陷到了肉裏，腦袋發蒙。
胤礽胤祉和胤祺他們也沒有置身其外的想法，畢竟大清是他們共同的家，現在也不是在意是誰當了皇帝的事，而是大清的未來會發生的危機要如何應對。
他們不會看着這片國土深陷囹圄。
康熙道：“你們找機會多去洋人那裏打探一下，朕懷疑他們在故意蒙蔽大清。”
衆人心中一寒，竟然都如此有心計嗎？
五個人都齊聲應了：“是，兒臣遵旨。”
康熙見他們如此，也很欣慰：“都是好孩子。”
但他看到胤礽的時候有一絲的不自在，還好下午小六不是在這幾個人面前說的他跟保成的相處日常。
不然他這面子更要留不住了。
胤礽見皇阿瑪看自己，似有所感，擡頭跟他對視，然後關心的道：“皇阿瑪的身體沒有問題吧？”
康熙道：“無事，就是覺得朕不是一個好阿瑪。”
五個人被這句話吓得直接跪在了地上。
康熙被他們五個弄得哭笑不得：“朕只是說說，現在朕覺得自己挺好的，就是該對你們嚴厲，不然你們也長不成這樣，你們吃過的苦朕都吃過，而且朕的經歷更辛苦，你們啊，都被朕慣壞了。”
康熙點了點他們幾個，一個都沒落。
幾個人都這麽大了，還被皇阿瑪這麽說，一個個都有些不好意思。
皇阿瑪的确辛苦。
他們不如皇阿瑪。
然後康熙又落了一個深海炸彈出來：“朕打算開放海禁，你們把消息先放出去，朕知道你們的人脈。”
康熙這句話一出，又把衆人吓出了一身冷汗。
然後才反應過來皇阿瑪沒有怪罪的意思，一個個又把心放回肚子裏。
皇阿瑪怎麽什麽都知道啊，幸好有小六在，不然他們什麽時候惹怒了皇阿瑪都還不知情呢。
“今晚就放出去嗎？”
胤礽皺着眉頭道。
康熙瞥了他一眼：“都可，看你們。”
“但不要說是朕透露的。”
當初是他提的這事，所以這次不能由他開口，只能由下而上，他不能失去皇帝的權威。
這樣會引起恐慌的。
而且先透露出去，也是為了看一下衆人的态度，早做打算。
海禁是一定要解除的，他希望減少阻力，順利實行。
他還要挑選士兵訓練海上作戰能力。
這些都需要時間。
而康熙最擔心的就是時間問題。
一個是他的時間，還有一個是小六的。
別看小六現在健健康康，沒啥大事的樣子，但他真的怕小六一語成谶。
他接受不了小六在兩個多月後離開他。
現在大清需要他。
康熙垂眸在想事，胤褆胤礽他們的腦子也沒有停下轉動。
胤禛很明白皇阿瑪的目的，看來他要找一個推手了，這個推手最好是在靠海的地方當官的人。
胤禛想明白之後，就在考量人選。
其他人也都是如此，他們心中也有了目标。
康熙吩咐完，就閉上眼對他們道：“你們走吧，朕累了。”
藥裏面有安眠的成分，康熙有些撐不住了。
幾個人磕頭離開，動作都輕輕的。
到了門口的時候，原本走在前面的胤礽就落到了後面，他回頭看了一下床上的皇阿瑪，抿了抿嘴，然後大步離開。
但躺在床上的康熙還是給他留下了很深的打擊。
胤礽眼睛都濕了，皇阿瑪竟然不知不覺的老了，躺在床上的樣子，根本就沒有平日威風凜凜高高在上的感覺。
雖然小六一直喊皇阿瑪糟老頭子，但他之前就沒當真。
現在他親眼所見，皇阿瑪是真的老了。
胤礽想到小時候，他得了天花，皇阿瑪日夜不眠照顧他的情景。
還有手把手給他啓蒙，教他寫字讀書。
皇阿瑪出宮總會給他帶一些好東西回來，親征的時候也時刻給他寫信，讓他不要擔憂。
皇阿瑪的心裏一直都念叨着他。
而他是如何走到了現在這種地步的呢。
嫌棄皇阿瑪煩，覺得他對自己過于嚴格，想要自由和掌權的資格。
但他忘了，這一切都是皇阿瑪給他的。
皇阿瑪有錯，他又何嘗沒有呢。
胤礽走到門外，為前幾天的想法覺得羞愧。
他是怎麽覺得委屈的。
他一點都不委屈，他是自己作的。
胤礽理清了思緒，心裏的負擔也放下，大步淩然的走出了乾清宮。
胤褆騎在馬上的時候也在想剛剛皇阿瑪的話，望着天上的星星，有些恍然。
仿佛這一切都很不真實。
他們要走上一條很難得路。
但胤褆不怕，因為有皇阿瑪和小六在。
想明白之後，胤褆朝着天空露出了一個大大的笑容，然後駕馬回到了家中。
他有家人，他有很多後盾，他不是一個人。
胤祉更別提了，他現在都不想搭理那些洋人，真是服了，一個個胡攪蠻纏的，非要說西洋參的藥效跟人參的藥效是一樣的。
甚至超過人參。
好家夥，還拉踩了一番，原本胤祉忌憚他們的身份，想對他們客氣一些，現在這些想法直接沒有了。
他發現了那些人就會蹬鼻子上臉。
聽了今天皇阿瑪的話，他更不會對他們手軟了。
還真當他好糊弄啊。
哼，簡直可笑。
胤祉有了決定，也先一步離開。
胤祺跟幾位哥哥告別之後，在想着自己未來的路。
小六說他未來會毀容，胤祺摸了摸自己的臉，他不怕，那是榮耀。
他擔心的是胤禩和胤禟，胤禟怎麽會想着去海外？
胤祺心裏說不上來是什麽滋味，有種自己家孩子長大了有出息的感覺。
但又覺得他在胡鬧，畢竟胤禟真是讓人放不下心啊。
他明天要好好找他聊一聊，要是胤禟堅持的話，他也去求求皇阿瑪好了。
幾個人都打定了主意，回去好好休息，養精蓄銳，未來一段時間，又要不平靜了。
康熙當晚做了一個噩夢，然後發熱了，乾清宮又是一段鬧騰。
其實康熙的身子骨之前透支的厲害，而他年齡又上來了，加上今天的吐血，直接雪上加霜，然後發熱了。
太醫院燈火亮了一宿，一個個心驚膽戰的。
皇上身子骨那麽壯，怎麽說發熱就發熱了？
尹灼知道消息的時候是第二天早上，早膳都沒用就跑到了乾清宮。
他就問了一句皇阿瑪上沒上朝，小太監支支吾吾的說不出來話，他就覺得出事了。
By the time they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, it was already surrounded by people, and Yin Zhuo even thought that Kangxi was dying.
Then I heard Master Kang roaring with full force: "Why are you all kneeling before me? Go and do your work! Don't even think about being lazy."
The corner of Yin Zhuo's mouth twitched. The Emperor was really full of energy.
The people who were originally kneeling were reluctant to move, but were finally driven out by Kangxi.
Yin Zhuo took the opportunity to slip in, lay down beside his bed, and reached out to touch his forehead, which was no longer hot.
"Don't be angry, my Lord. Yelling is not good."
A few people who were originally hesitating immediately left after hearing the Sixth Prince's words.
The Sixth Prince really doesn't know how to speak. He actually said that the Emperor was yelling in front of him.
The emperor clearly has a loud voice.
Kangxi spat: "Everyone comes to my bedside to cry so early in the morning, but I am not dead yet."
Some people ran away even faster after hearing this.
He shouldn't die in this condition. He should have no problem living for another ten years.
Yin Zhuo thought his illness was strange, so he asked, "Father Emperor, I saw you looked unwell yesterday. I meant the sudden onset of the illness. You couldn't be..."
Kangxi glared at him and said, "You little kid, you're just talking nonsense. I'm just tired."
Yin Zhuo waved his hands: "No, I mean, you are not angry with the Eighth and Ninth Brothers, are you?"
[Angry that they want to go to sea, is it treason? Disobeying the order of ancestors? ]
Kangxi: ...
No, is he such a stubborn person in Xiaoliu’s mind?
Will you get sick from anger over this?
"No, I sent him away as soon as the boat was available. I told you long ago that you were the one who infected him. Now he has a fever. You should believe it, right?" Kangxi continued to blame others.
As soon as Yinreng came in, he heard the emperor's rogue words and was speechless for a moment.
Yin Zhuo spread his hands and said, "I will not take the blame for this."
He said secretly: "I suspect it was my second brother's fault."
Kangxi:?
Yinreng:?
