No matter how chaotic the outside world is, it has no impact on Yinzuo's life. Apart from taking a stroll to his father's Qingxi Book House every day, he has free time to do as he pleases.
Compared to his comfortable freedom, the lives of Yinzhen, Yinreng and others can be described in four words - in dire straits. There is not a single idle day in the court 365 days a year, and there are even more things to do at the end of the year.
Even though the northern part of Mobei is now covered with heavy snow, it does not mean that the war is over. On the contrary, the situation is even more serious than before.
The war was intense at the front, and there were a lot of messy things to deal with in the court, which made Yinzhen and Yinzhi even busier. They worked day and night, and not to mention that Yinzhi and others were mortals, even people with bones of steel could not withstand such hardship.
So after a heavy snowfall, everyone from Kangxi to Yinzhen fell ill. Yinzuo woke up feeling as if the world had fallen. Wasn't he fine yesterday? How could everything be like this in just one night?
"Look, what did I say before? Do you understand the importance of combining work and rest? Look now, everyone is down. Second brother, fourth brother, I say you two are almost done. Put down those memorials in your hands. You are still fighting so hard even though you are sick. You are risking your lives, right? Where is Doctor Wang? Go and call him over so that everyone can have a look..."
Yinreng and Yinzhen were younger after all, and both were sick. Kangxi had a fever and a cough, and their symptoms seemed much milder, but no matter what, they were still sick, weren't they? Letting two sick people work while they were sick seemed a bit inhumane no matter how you looked at it.
Although Doctor Wang had come to take Kangxi's pulse before, he naturally did not dare not come since Yinzuo asked someone to come. After taking the pulse of Kangxi and his sons one by one, he wrote new prescriptions according to their respective symptoms. After being questioned by Yinzuo, he took them back to the palace to get medicine and boil it.
Since Kangxi and Yinreng fell ill, Yinzuo became very busy. He had to help Yinzhen and others deal with the pile of memorials, and he also had to worry about his father who was coughing so hard that his heart was broken. In just a few days, his eyes looked like a panda's.
"No, I can't live like this for even a day. Father, why don't we give all these memorials to the eldest, third, and fifth brothers? It doesn't make sense for them to be able to do nothing when we're all so busy."
It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Based on the principle that brothers should share happiness and hardships, Yinzuo dragged all his brothers into the water with just one sentence. The important memorials were given to Yinreng and Yinzhen, and the less important ones were given to Yinzhi, Yinzhi and Yinqi. Yinzuo was naturally responsible for those memorials full of nonsense. The main point was that everyone would share the joy and have a taste of being an emperor.
What they said is absolutely true, seeing flowers in the fog and the moon in the water seem beautiful only when you see things through a layer of sand, but if you really experience it in person, the idea will immediately change.
When they were first called to Qingxi Book House to help process memorials, Yinzhen, Yinzhi and Yinqi were a little nervous but also a little excited. However, after a few days, the only thing left in their hearts was annoyance.
No, don't you think these people down there are just too full to handle such a trivial matter? And there's this long memorial with so few proper sentences. It doesn't seem like you have good literary talent. You're so talented, why haven't you been known for your talent?
"What Xiaoliu said before is absolutely right. Being an emperor is not a job for humans. You have to get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, and work harder than a donkey. But every day you have to endure such a group of idiots getting angry in front of you. Look at what's written on this memorial. It's such a long piece of nonsense. Second and fourth brothers, you really work hard every day."
Yinzhen had no patience to begin with. This person was just someone sent by Kangxi, and he was also under his nose. Otherwise, he would have quit long ago. But the current situation is not much better than quitting. Can't you see that he is slamming the table and glaring.
Yinzhi was also annoyed. Although his previous job also involved dealing with books all day long, the books he faced every day were high-brow literature, poetry, songs, and historical texts. Now, his eyes were full of worldly desires. So he followed suit and threw the memorial in his hand on the table and went on strike.
"Big brother is right. Second brother, Old Four has been working hard these days. This batch of memorials is really a test of one's ability. Just like the joke that Xiaoliu told earlier, it tests your patience, challenges your temper, and tempers your will. In a word, it's enough to make you angry."
Yinzhen and Yinzhi dropped the ball one after another, which made Yinzuo, who was not very determined to begin with, even more restless. He read the memorial in his hand at a glance, picked up the pen and casually wrote "I understand", then relaxed and leaned all over Yinqi next to him.
"Second brother, fourth brother, you two should take a break first. As the saying goes, health is the capital of revolution. You two haven't recovered from your illness yet, so you shouldn't overwork yourself..."
Upon hearing this, Yinreng and Yinzhen first glanced at their eldest brother who had gone berserk, then looked at Yinzhi who was snoring, and finally turned their gaze to the pile of memorials in front of them.
Do they not want to rest? Isn't it because the conditions don't allow it? Even if we rely on you, we will have to review this memorial for a long time. Do we have to wait until tomorrow to review it?
As I said, the situation is stronger than people. Even if they are reluctant, they can't really give up the mission assigned by their Khan Ama.
Whether in history or in this life, none of Kangxi's sons was a real idiot. Even the famous idiot Shi Yin in history was just a wise man who appeared foolish.
There are some benefits to working together as a group. At least when you encounter something you can't make up your mind about, you can have someone to discuss it with. Helping each other will naturally make you more efficient.
"Hmph, eldest brother, second brother, third brother... You guys are so good that you can find someone to discuss things with when you encounter problems, but I'm suffering. Do you think we have to ask for greetings? You can just pay your respects, we can also talk about some business. Look at this guy, it's been so many years, and he's still obsessed with sending mangoes? How about I fulfill his wish and let him send some mangoes over? Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll have a tantrum..."
