Yinzhen glanced at Yinlu who was a little restless, stood up and moved to the empty seat next to him, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"Xiaojiu, you're so timid! Your Sixth Brother, the main culprit, isn't afraid of him, so why should you be afraid? Come on, relax and eat your meal. If the sky collapses, we'll go back and lift your Sixth Brother up to hold it up."
"Lift, brother, why do I feel even more frightened when I hear your words? Sixth brother isn't afraid because he's our own child. There's still a layer of separation between us. Are you sure that when we lift him over, we won't be the ones kneeling in the end?"
As the saying goes, when you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out; when you reach the bridge, things will naturally go smoothly. Yinzhen knew that even if he was anxious about today's matter, it would be useless. Didn't he see that his two brothers were calmer than each other? In that case, he might as well eat the meal in front of him in peace.
It's fair to say Yin's worry wasn't unfounded. Kangxi was indeed furious at the Qingxi Study. Ever since Yin's arrival in Beijing this morning, Kangxi had been worried. While he knew his plans were foolproof, there's a saying that goes, "Raising a son for a hundred years means worrying for ninety-nine."
"That bastard Yinzuo is getting more and more outrageous. Now that the job is done, why is he wandering around outside instead of reporting back? I'll show you how I'll deal with him when he comes back. Liang Jiugong, send someone to guard the gate of Changchun Garden. As soon as those three bastards come back, bring them to me immediately."
Liang Jiugong glanced at Kangxi, who was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, but he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire. He walked backwards to the door with his body hunched, and waved to Wan Quan, who was waiting on the side, to lead people to guard the gate of Changchun Garden. When the three people came back, he would immediately bring them to Qingxi Book House to see the emperor.
Yinzuo didn't know that his father was holding his breath and waiting for him to go back and deal with him. After having a good meal and a few drinks, he was still thinking about going to Jiyaxuan to listen to books. Yinzhi and Yinlu looked at each other, then stepped forward, one on each side, and lifted Ren up. Without giving Yinzuo a chance to react, they quickly walked out of the box.
"Xiao Liu, we're almost there. We've been out for a day now, and Khan Ama must still be waiting for us to report back. If you really want to go to Jiyaxuan to listen to books, you can wait until Brother Kong can accompany you. It's dark outside now, and it might be too late for us to return to Changchun Garden."
Yinzuo had finally come out, and although he was reluctant to go back, he also knew that what Yinzhi said made sense. Judging from his father's nagging before he left, he might still be waiting for them to go back.
"Okay, big brother, you have to keep your word. When the weather gets a little cooler, let's find a time to invite third brother and the others to go to Ji Yaxuan together."
When Yinzuo and the other two returned to Changchun Garden, it was almost the end of the hour of Xu. When they got off the carriage and saw Wan Quan and his men guarding the gate of Changchun Garden, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts. Well, it seemed that the old man was really anxious.
"Brother, Xiaojiu, I'm so sorry. What happened today is all my fault. Don't worry, when we get back to Qingxi Book House, if Khan Ama really punishes us, I'll take the blame for everything."
Don't worry, he will definitely not let anyone off the hook. Yinzhi and Yin'er were not worried that Yinzuo could not withstand the wrath of his Khan Ama. What they were worried about was that his father's biased nature would come back, and he would punish the accomplices instead of the principal offender.
"Ama, have you rested? My son is back."
It must be said that the reason why Yinzuo became like this was inseparable from Kangxi's indulgence. Look, he was swearing before that he would give this brat a good beating when he came back, but now he seemed to have forgotten about it. When he heard Yinzuo's voice, he immediately walked towards the outside of Qingxi Book House to greet him.
"Humph, you bastard, you still remember to come back. I thought you had so much fun after going out that you didn't want to come back."
If you ask what Yinzuo is best at, then stroking his fur can definitely be considered his unique skill. Seeing that Kangxi had a bad tone, Yinzuo did not respond to him. He walked quickly to Kangxi, raised his hand to hold his arm, and pulled him into the house.
"Father, who are you talking to? You know I'm a daddy's boy. How could I not come back when you're here? By the way, have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll have some with you and then report to you in detail about what happened today."
As the saying goes, there is always something to conquer. Yinzuo's words hit the old father hard. Kangxi did not struggle when Yinzuo held his arm and dragged him into the house. Yinzhi and Yinluo couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw this situation.
"Well, it seems we've passed this level today. Since Khan Ama and the others have gone in, let's not stand here anymore. Let's go inside too."
Yinzhen and Yinlu came in slowly. When they arrived at the flower hall, the father and son were happily ordering food from the human-shaped menu of Liang Jiugong. They said they were accompanying Kangxi for dinner, but Yinzuo, Yinzhen and Yinlu had just finished their meal and were still full. The so-called accompanying them for dinner was just a formality. After Kangxi had finished his dinner and rested for a while, the father and son returned to the flower hall and sat down to talk about business.
"Yinzuo, I see that your agreement states that we will provide warships, soldiers, and money to help Zheye seize the throne in exchange for the garrison and development rights of the ports and mineral resources marked on this map. Haven't you always wanted to persuade me to conquer Japan? Why are you backing down this time?"
Yinzuo couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He raised his eyes and glanced at everyone present, then spoke slowly.
"Father, this agreement was only signed to fool that fool Zheye. Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's easier to invite a god than to send him away.' Once we enter Japanese territory, it will be ours sooner or later. I don't believe Zheye will just ignore us while we're aggressively grabbing territory. Conflicts are inevitable with more contact between the two sides. We can then find a random excuse to deal with him, like saying one of our soldiers mysteriously disappeared in their country..."
It must be said that the agreement drafted by Yinzuo was very cunning. Although it stated the scope of the garrison they requested, it did not specify the specific number of people. The difference between 10,000 and 100,000 people is huge. After Zheye successfully seized power, he would have to rely on his help to stabilize the domestic situation. At that time, they could take advantage of the fact that Zheye was too busy to take care of himself to increase the number of troops stationed in Japan little by little.
