Chapter 93: The 93rd Day of Wanting to Die
Yinzhen banged his head on the table and successfully knocked himself out.
He now feels very insignificant, as if he is in the clouds and mist.
He groaned: "Woo——"
Studying is not suitable for him.
It's so uncomfortable.
Yinzhen's face also turned pale. Sixth brother was too scary.
How could there be such a scary brother?
After hearing what he said, he almost doubted how he was born.
Although what Sixth Brother said was very interesting, their brains couldn't absorb so much knowledge at once.
It's a bit painful and a bit overwhelming.
Yin Zhuo politely declined the studious man's desire to discuss the matter and waved his hand towards Yin Zhen.
"Come here, I'm hungry."
His current dining partner is Xiao Shisi.
[I feel like I have lost half the fun of dining without the foodie Xiao Shisi. He is my destined dining partner.]
Yinzhen: ...
He was really impressed. Sixth brother was really capable. He had even become a foodie?
What does "dinner companion" mean?
Yinzhen didn't understand, but he chose to obey and honestly supported his sixth brother.
The others' eyes twitched as they watched. Little Fourteen was so attentive that he made him look like a eunuch.
Very bootlickering.
No matter what, as long as he is not allowed to study, he will do anything. He does not want to discuss what learning is made of.
He is the individual, composed of himself.
If this continues, Yinzhen feels that he will get stuck in a dead end.
He said in a daze: "Let's go, Sixth Brother."
If he didn't leave, he would be gone and sent away.
Yin Zhuo left, and everyone else's attention was immediately focused on the originally scary drawing.
Ge Jing was the oldest person present. Zhang Ying was an outsider and had already stood on one side. These were things that the princess and the princes were fighting for. It was not really his turn to grab the prize. He could only get closer to take a look and satisfy his cravings.
Ge Jing walked forward with a smile and said to the palace servants waiting outside: "Come here, give me a copy of this painting. I want to take it back to study and observe."
Yinyou and the others took a deep breath. No wonder Sixth Brother said that Fourth Sister was as brave as any man. Which princess would keep such a horrifying picture in her bedroom?
I'd probably get a fright if I woke up in the middle of the night.
Tana was also moved. Since her fourth sister was not afraid, she was certainly not afraid either.
She looked down at the pale-faced Wu Rina, held her hand, and said loudly: "Someone please copy it for me. If you want to see it, Wu Rina, come and see Fifth Sister."
Wuzhina nodded weakly.
Fortunately, her fifth sister didn't ask her to copy one as well. If she had taken it back, she wouldn't have been able to sleep even if she didn't hang it up.
This thing is a bit scary.
Just now, when Sixth Brother was speaking, she kept her eyes on him to give him face and didn't dare to look to the side. It was truly terrifying.
This Sixth Brother was not the gentle Sixth Brother who took her flying kites and played with her before.
What Sixth Brother went through was truly horrible.
She couldn't imagine what Sixth Brother was thinking when he first saw this picture. Was he excited? Or was he afraid?
But now it is obvious that Little Fourteen has already left in fear following Sixth Brother.
Yinyou was the oldest among the princes, so he was the first to speak: "Eighth, ninth, and tenth princes, do you want to copy it?"
Yinzhen frowned, and suddenly thought of something. He said directly: "Thank you for reminding me, Seventh Brother. I don't need it for now. I have something to ask Sixth Brother."
He thought, why not sell these drawings?
We can also make some models and sell them to doctors so that they can better understand the structure of the human body and have a general idea in their minds when treating patients.
When Yinzhen was chasing his sixth brother, he calmed down halfway through.
Now they can't accept what is on the drawings, let alone ordinary people.
If this drawing were to be spread, it might cause panic. Also, Sixth Brother's statement that the human body is made up of countless cells might cause confusion.
So he turned back, and Yinsi saw him coming back and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Yinzhen shook his head: "Nothing, I just had a ridiculous idea that I wanted to discuss with my sixth brother, but then I thought about it and felt that I was taking it for granted."
When Yinsi saw him glance at the drawing, he knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
“No hurry.”
Just when Yinsi was talking to Yinlu, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
He looked up and saw the serious face of his fourth brother. He was stunned for a moment, then hurried out: "Fourth brother, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Don't worry, let's have lunch together later. It's been a while since I last talked to you."
After Yinzhen knew the fate of the Eighth Prince, he thought about how to get along well with him. After all, judging from the course of history, there were still some bright spots in the Eighth Prince that were worth learning from, such as how to get along well with others.
For Yinzhen, keeping a blank expression was just a disguise for himself.
Because his experiences since childhood have led to his current situation.
Tana and Wujina in the room looked outside nervously, and were somewhat disappointed when they saw that Fourth Brother was not here to see them.
But after Yinzhen greeted them, this feeling of loss disappeared.
Maybe they just wanted to get the attention of the fourth brother.
They were flattered to see their usually stern fourth brother showing a gentle expression to them and nodding.
Yinsi was called away, and Yin'er and Yin'e would definitely follow him. They were also curious about what their fourth brother would say to their eighth brother.
When Yinsi, Yin'er, and Yin'e were about to leave, they all turned back to look at Yinxiang. Wouldn't the Thirteenth Prince go with them?
Sixth brother said that the two of them are true brothers.
Yinxiang was embarrassed: "Fourth brother and eighth brother, you guys go ahead. I still need to remember what Sixth brother said."
Yinzhen became interested: "Did Xiaoliu tell you about it, too?"
My goodness, how could Xiaoliu say such a cruel thing?
Yinsi pointed to the front of the room and said, "Sixth brother talked about what the human body is made of today."
Yinzhen then realized something was wrong. There was an extra board in front of him with traces of black charcoal on it.
At the same time, there is a scary painting.
Yinzhen took a glance and said, "Tell me what Xiaoliu said later."
Although he had heard it from the Emperor, he was also very curious now.
Yinzhen's face turned green.
The thought of talking about this at the dinner table made him lose his appetite.
He smiled palely: "Fourth Brother, Eighth Brother, I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, he strode forward without waiting for the two to react.
Yin'e, who had realized what was happening, followed closely behind him: "My younger brother is going to do some work with my ninth brother, so I won't disturb the two elder brothers from having their meals."
After saying this, he ran and caught up with Yinzhen.
"Let's go to the training camp."
When Yin'e saw Yin'e catching up, Yin'er said in a low voice.
Ever since the sixth brother mentioned the idea of holding a military parade and told the eldest brother about it, the eldest brother set up a training camp.
Now they don't attend the afternoon horse riding class anymore and go directly to the training camp to practice coordination.
When the time comes, these princes will have to take the lead, let the emperor see their mental outlook, and also show them to the common people.
This is also a way to become famous.
The difference between Sixth Brother and them is that he has a strong compassion and a sense of equality.
The idea of giving them royal power is completely different.
Before, they stood on the stage and watched others perform, but now it is their turn to perform for others, which is somewhat stressful.
But as the future Batulu of the Qing Dynasty, they are not afraid.
Yin'e nodded: "Okay, I don't have an appetite now either."
Their princes were all terrified, but those princesses were brave enough to come closer to investigate. It's really hard to understand.
Whoever said that women are less courageous than men, these sisters in his family are very courageous.
The two men left in disgrace.
The atmosphere between Yinzhen and Yinsi was a little awkward. Yinsi wanted to call Thirteen, but Thirteen was busy writing, and considering what he had just said, he had to give up.
"Let's go."
Yinzhen still had no expression on his face. He took the lead and walked in front.
Yinsi followed behind him obediently, and his usually eloquent mouth now didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere here is silent.
On the other side, Yin Zhuo had already drunk the hot sweet soup.
"Hot pot, hot pot, eat hot pot, and give me a little more hot mutton roll."
To be honest, Yin Zhuo didn't eat mutton before because he thought mutton had a pungent smell.
Just smelling it makes people want to vomit.
But he found that the mutton of the Qing Dynasty was different and had no smell at all.
He didn't know it when he ate it before and thought it was beef or pork. After asking, he found out it was mutton.
Yinzhen heard what Sixth Brother was thinking about mutton, and couldn't help but asked, "Sixth Brother, do you know why this mutton doesn't have a strong smell?"
Yin Zhuo nodded: "Why?"
Yinzhen choked. He thought his sixth brother would ignore him.
He had no choice but to answer obediently: "Because he grew up eating grass."
Yin Zhuo put down his chopsticks, his eyes widened: "Can eating grass eliminate the smell?"
This is amazing.
"Of course, and this is mutton from the grassland."
Yinzhen also knew something about the source of food. Although he was small, he was quite smart.
Yin Zhuo continued eating: "It's amazing."
The two of them ate while expressing their feelings.
Yinzhen's little tail was almost flying with pride, it turned out that there were things that his sixth brother didn't understand either.
Yin Zhuo was digesting his food after eating, and then he stared at Shisi's head. He reached out and touched the prickly part: "You have grown hair, that's great."
[I am not jealous, I am not jealous at all, why can he grow hair but I can't!!]
Yin Zhuo's face was twisted with jealousy.
It's really enviable.
Yinzhen was so scared that he almost dropped his chopsticks. What happened to Sixth Brother? Why did he suddenly go crazy?
And the hand that was stroking his head was still exerting more force.
Yinzhen suddenly became afraid: "Sixth brother, you will grow taller if you eat more."
Stop touching his head, my brother is scared!
Yinzhen carefully glanced at the top of Sixth Brother's head. Good guy, there really wasn't any.
Could it be that the price Sixth Brother has to pay for this magical power is to not grow hair?
Yinzhen's eyes deeply hurt Yin Zhuo's fragile heart.
He sniffed sadly: "It's okay, I'm smart and don't have hair on my head, I don't mind, this is the price of being smart, it's okay... woo--"
At the end, Yin Zhuo sobbed loudly.
Yinzhen panicked instantly. He said tentatively, "Sixth brother, why don't we go find Doctor Zheng?"
Yin Zhuo sobbed even louder.
[If Doctor Zheng is useful, would I still be sitting here? ]
Yinzhen remained silent, and could only pat his sixth brother's shoulder to comfort him.
Since Imperial Physician Zheng couldn't do anything, there was nothing he could do.
Yinzhen remembered something again.
"Sixth brother, are you going to the training camp this afternoon?"
He is the representative of the children's team, and when the time comes, he will have to lead the royal family members to set an example.
When the time comes, he must perform well in front of Sixth Brother. He will definitely be very happy to see that he has made progress.
After all, when the two met at first, he didn't leave a very good impression on Sixth Brother.
Now he wanted to take practical action to regain the face that belonged to him and prove with his actions that he could save face for his sixth brother.
In the future, even if he is not as successful as his fourth brother, or as smart as his sixth brother, he will use his own hands to bring honor to his mother, so that when people mention his mother, they will not only think of his fourth and sixth brothers, but also of him, the fourteenth.
When he turns fourteen, he will go into battle and kill the enemies like his father did.
Doesn’t Sixth Brother hate Japan?
When he grows up, he will defeat Japan. How dare Japan, a tiny country, bully the people of the Qing Dynasty?
Although the formal military parade had not yet begun, Yinzhen had already imagined himself wearing a general's uniform and killing the enemy in battle.
Yin Zhuo saw that he was clenching his fists and his face was tense, wondering what he was thinking.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Sixth brother, don't worry, I will vent your anger. When I grow up, I will conquer Japan and prevent them from harassing the fishermen on the coast."
Protect them.
Yinzhen said with great ambition.
Yin Zhuo also put away his mischievous thoughts and touched his head: "Not bad, Fourteen has made great progress."
[I don’t know how to tell them. A lot of the knowledge I told them about the human body was gained with the lives of the people on this land. Japan invaded our land, tortured our people, and cruelly conducted human experiments on them to create human viruses. It is said that women are made of water, but this does not mean that women love to cry. Most of the bodies of men and women are water, accounting for about 70% of the human body weight. This conclusion was drawn by Japan after conducting experiments on our people. It is simply that they did not treat us as human beings, but as lab mice. No, I am afraid that they are not even as good as lab mice. Lab mice can still resist and escape, but people who are caught for experiments can only numbly accept the cruel death, which is the most painful death.]
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth, which had been filled with pride because of his sixth brother's praise, suddenly shrank, and his entire face turned three shades paler.
What what what?
Oh, Yinzhen is really impressed. The Japanese can really dance on the thunder spot.
Tsk, if he doesn’t defeat Japan in this life, he will have no face to see Sixth Brother.
What is going on?
Yinzhen thought of the human body structure diagram again. He was silent for a moment. Thinking of his older brothers and sisters who were still copying the diagram and trying to learn, he felt a little ashamed.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then he moved his head away from Sixth Brother's hand, stood opposite Yin Zhuo, and said seriously: "Sixth Brother, I haven't learned what you just said. I will go to the Shangshufang first, and then I will go directly out of the palace to the training camp. If you want to go, you can go to Seventh Brother."
He'll have some time to learn.
After saying this, Yinzhen left impatiently.
Yin Zhuo stood there with his hands raised. No, what does Fourteen mean?
He touched his head, not quite sure why.
In the end, I had no choice but to let him go because he was sleepy.
I was planning to go back for a nap, but was stopped at the door of the abode.
Liang Jiugong said respectfully, "Sixth Prince, the Emperor has sent a servant to wait for you here. The foreigners have sent a lot of fresh things, and the Emperor wants you to go over and choose some."
Yin Zhuo rubbed his eyes and said, "Okay."
He was also curious about what the foreigners would send.
Kangxi didn't expect that the foreigners would actually send him a lot of gifts in order to please him, one of which was a pocket watch.
Although it is not a rare item, it is not common either. The main thing is that he can give this pocket watch to Xiaoliu.
This time, which was quite rare, some agricultural products were also sent over.
When Yin Zhuo arrived, Kangxi nodded at him and said, "Well, over there, this pocket watch on the table is for you. Keep it."
Yin Zhuo stared: "Do you have a pocket watch at this time?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had let something slip, and quickly added: "I mean, this pocket watch is really exquisite."
【I wonder if it is made in Germany? Wait, I just seemed too illiterate. This pocket watch first appeared in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is recorded in Dream of the Red Chamber, but Dream of the Red Chamber is still a banned book. If it is filmed together with Journey to the West, it may stimulate the development of the cultural and entertainment economy. Now the Qing Dynasty is poor, and the opera troupe is not something that ordinary people can afford. But if you ask me, I really want to see what Journey to the West looks like. Monkey King is the only male protagonist in the minds of modern people. Don’t meet a monkey who is too handsome when you are young, otherwise your heart will be fascinated by him. 】
Kangxi was confused. This pocket watch came from Great Britain. It was given to him by a businessman, not from Germany.
Moreover, Xiaoliu said that Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West, as far as he knew, the contents in them were somewhat misleading to ordinary people.
But he was very interested in the entertainment economy that Xiaoliu talked about.
Singing and dancing can only take place in specific places and won't cause much stir, so how can it become an economic name?
【If you ask me, the Emperor Jiajing was too inflexible to ban my favorite Monkey King. The descriptions in Journey to the West are still terrifying without any changes, but times are changing. Isn't it better to take the essence and discard the dross? If you beautify it and make it a product IP, you can not only make money for your own family, but also make money for others! 】
Kangxi was stunned. What is product IP... and beautification?
If we beautify the characters in the story, wouldn’t that be considered fraud?
But Kangxi was very tempted, and now he wanted a gust of wind that could boost the stagnant economic atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty.
Maybe it can even provide more jobs.
Yin Zhuo stared at his pocket watch in a daze, and suddenly slapped his thigh!
"Ouch! How could I forget about my good brothers and sisters!"
[Hahahahaha, isn’t Kowloon the best IP character? But if I say this, will the Emperor beat me to death? ]
Kangxi was upset. He understood what Xiaoliu meant. What did he mean? He wanted his eight useless sons to exchange money with the future emperor?
[I'm tempted, I'm willing to pay for it, I've already figured out how to print the cards! ]
Kangxi just watched Xiaoliu distracted in silence, with his arms folded across his chest, ready to listen to his plan.
[First of all, I definitely can’t use my brother’s name, and secondly, the dynasty can’t be the Qing Dynasty. Then, everyone has to know that these are the princes in the Qing Palace.]
Kangxi: ...
No, you are just trying to cover up your mistake...
Xiaoliu is still as unreliable as ever.
What's that little card...
Kangxi suddenly thought of his green card and thought, it can't be true.
Yin Zhuo put down his pocket watch and came to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I have a story to tell you."
Kangxi raised his chin, signaling him to start the performance.
Yin Zhuo coughed, then stared at Kangxi with his round eyes and said first: "It's like this, I plan to film this story, no, find a troupe to perform it, and then..."
Yin Zhuo mumbled out his plan, and Kangxi's brows furrowed as he listened.
"You mean, let people buy cards to vote for them, and then select the most popular prince to be the crown prince? No, do you think people are fools? Who would buy such a thing? And let's not talk about reality first. This is what you call a paper man, invisible and intangible!"
Kangxi thought it was ridiculous. Xiaoliu was crazy about making money.
Yin Zhuo was not convinced: "If it's something you can touch, I also make pillows and sell them."
Kangxi: ...
He really wanted to know how his sons would look after hearing about this, and whether they would want to catch Xiaoliu and give him a beating.
Yin Zhuo also felt a little guilty and his expression looked a little unnatural.
[I have already said that the story is fictional, so the emperor will not doubt it, right? There are so many dynasties in history, and the Qing Dynasty has only been in power for a few years. How can we know what happened in each dynasty in history? The background of my story is the time when the Five Barbarians invaded China. Anyway, the dynasties changed quickly at that time.]
[But I am obsessed with Qing Dynasty clothing. It looks simple at first glance, but contains a lot of meaning when you look closely. The main reason is that its color matching is magical. It has a weird beauty. No wonder modern zombies are modeled after the official clothing of the Qing Dynasty. It is indeed suitable for setting the atmosphere. ]
Kangxi raised his eyebrows. Qing Dynasty clothing?
What Xiaoliu was talking about could only be the kind worn by the nobles. The poor people still wore gray linen clothes.
But now, with new spinning machines, everyone will be able to wear clothes made of cotton in a few years.
Finally, there was something that was praised, even though it was external. But Kangxi still felt a little relieved.
He has been under pressure these days and has not relaxed at all.
"I think it's okay. You can do it secretly and give your brothers a surprise."
Kangxi looked at Xiaoliu with a smile.
Yin Zhuo's hands and feet were stiff, and he quickly denied: "I didn't mean any hidden meaning. Your Majesty, please don't slander me. When they come to me to ask for an explanation, I will say that it was your Majesty who ordered it."
[Yes, that's right. It has nothing to do with me.]
Kangxi didn't care. Since he chose to let it go, he decided to start by spreading the stories about his sons' future.
He could already feel how exciting the Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir was from Xiaoliu's mouth.
Xiaoliu was quite kind, allowing him to see in advance the story of his sons fighting for the throne.
Wonderful, very wonderful.
He is already getting impatient. When the small card comes out, who will he support?
Wait, Kangxi felt that things would get even more exciting.
Now the prince's faction and the eldest prince's faction in the court have become obedient, if Xiaoliu can accomplish this goal.
Will those ministers buy small cards to support their own parties?
Kangxi felt that he had been corrupted by Xiaoliu and had become immoral after being with him for so long.
This is not the same person as before.
He had definitely never done this before, and would never betray his own son.
If the sons could really cheat people out of money, it would help to fill the national treasury.
But he thought that this story had already spread and there would be another quarrel in the court.
Kangxi got a headache just thinking about that scene.
He rubbed his brows and held Xiaoliu's hand: "Hurry up and rub my head. I feel a little uncomfortable."
However, Yin Zhuo saw something in the box that made him drool: "Ahhh chocolate!!"
Although it was still raw material, he had watched short videos and knew that this thing could be used to make white chocolate.
"There are also coffee seeds?! Wait, is this broccoli? Hey, there is also corn?"
[No, I remember that sweet potatoes were introduced in the Ming Dynasty. Why haven't I eaten them in such a long time since I came here? And corn, I just said that something was missing in the hot pot, there were no corn cobs! ]
Kangxi, who was left aside: ...
No, Xiaoliu, can you please be more considerate of this old man? Is he not as good as those food?
