Let’s not talk about whether Yinreng dared to break up with his father. Yinzuo had been with Kangxi for so many years. Even if he was not a worm in his stomach, he could always guess some of his father’s thoughts. He was also a person who was used to taking advantage of others. As soon as he saw Kangxi’s expression, he knew that he was a little moved. Well, that would make him even more excited.
"Okay, Father, please think about it carefully. But if you ever want to run away, you must take your son with you. Then we can join forces. You take me, I take the money, and we can rush through the nine provinces..."
Seeing that Yinzuo was about to start singing, Yinreng quickly stepped forward and covered Yinzuo's mouth.
"Xiao Liu, I, your second brother, have been exhausted all afternoon. I finally got a chance to catch my breath. Please let me have some peace and quiet. Also, you are being dishonest. Why do you only think about rushing around the nine provinces with Khan Ama? Where is your second brother? Do you have the heart to leave me in the capital and let me live my life at the mercy of your fourth brother?"
Yinzuo was almost suffocated by Yinreng's sudden covering of his mouth. He struggled for a long time before he finally saved himself from his second brother's words. Hearing what Yinreng said, he couldn't help but lean over and stare at him carefully.
"Second brother, what you said is completely unreasonable. What do you mean by saying that I'm dishonest? What do you mean by saying that I'm abandoning you in the capital? Aren't I just worried that you, a precious and delicate person, can't endure the hardships of wandering around? Besides, there's no sign of this happening yet. Don't worry, as long as you're willing, my father and I will take you wherever we go."
Am I precious? I'm delicate and fragile, and I can't stand the hardship of wandering around? Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Who of us can't endure hardship? When I, your second brother, took the medicine, I didn't force it...
Yinzuo had no idea what his second brother was thinking about him at the moment. Even though he had said before that this was still a vague idea, it did not affect his imagination of the future at all.
"Father, what do you think about us going to Jiangnan and finding a beautiful place with clear water and mountains to build a big house and live in seclusion? It would be best if the house was built by the lake, or we could go to the south and find a place by the sea. That way we can be happy people. Every morning when we open the door, wow, facing the sea, there are spring flowers blooming..."
Yinzuo became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already look forward to a beautiful, happy and free life in the future.
Although the capital city is nice, it has too many rules. Although Yinzuo lives a relaxed and comfortable life compared to his other brothers, the saying still goes, who can complain about having too many good things?
"Stop, Xiaoliu, don't face the sea and the spring flowers are blooming. Second brother interrupts you first. I just want to ask you, does your fourth brother know that you are cheating him like this?
Look at the way you ask it. You've already said I'm trying to trick him, so can I let him know about this? Do I dare to let him know? After all, the throne doesn't seem to be that popular anymore. If he gets so angry that he quits, who can I turn to for justice?
"Second brother, there are only you, me, and my father in this room right now. As long as you don't say anything, then Fourth Brother will never know about this. And what you said is not right. How can this be called a trap? Am I clearly helping him? They say that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Then how can a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor be a good prince? I'm helping him improve."
Good fellow, you have said both good and bad things. Yinreng raised his eyes and glanced at his father who was sitting beside them and watching them making noise with a smile, and was speechless. Hey, judging from your expression, you seem to agree with what he said. Then I would like to ask, why did you guard against me like a thief when I was the crown prince?
Perhaps it was because the puzzled and sad expression on Yinreng's face was too obvious, or perhaps it was because the brothers had been together for a long time and had a certain tacit understanding, but for a moment, Yinzuo really understood what the secretive expression on his second brother's face wanted to express.
"Second brother, I can only say that you didn't catch up with the good times."
What Yinzuo said was true. Yinreng really didn't catch up with the good times. It's true that Kangxi was a great emperor with great talent and strategy, but he also had the common problem of all emperors - suspicion.
The emperor who was growing old and suspicious by nature, and the prince who was young, strong and popular, it seemed like they were doomed. Of course, the facts also proved this. If it weren't for Yinzuo, a butterfly who frantically flapped his wings, the father and son would have surely headed towards the predetermined ending in history.
But it was different with Yinzhen. Kangxi had suffered a setback before, so he had to learn from it later. A man cannot let the same stone trip him twice.
It must be said that Yinzuo's words were a bit hurtful, but fortunately Yinreng was now quite open-minded. He slapped Yinzuo's arm off his shoulder, looked up and glared at him, then stood up and sat in the seat farthest away from him.
This topic was just something Yinzuo brought up for fun, and after the incident he just let it go. Kangxi and Yinreng obviously didn't care much about it, and the three of them chatted about other topics for a while until they had dinner and went back to rest.
The Spring Festival of the 56th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign seemed to be no different from previous years except that the ancestor worship ceremony was moved from the Taimiao to the imperial mausoleum.
Yinzuo was dug out of bed by Dexi before dawn, and was helped to wash and change clothes in a daze. Then he followed Kangxi and his group of brothers in a daze all the way to the imperial mausoleum to meet his ancestor.
By the time they had completed the entire ancestor worship ceremony, it was already dawn outside. On the way back, Yinzuo slept with his eyes closed, half leaning against Kangxi, looking so unscrupulous that his brothers who had also gotten up early were all gritting their teeth.
"Come on, Xiaoliu, wake up. It's already daybreak, why are you still asleep? Wake up! There are a bunch of people waiting outside. Is it okay for you to go down like this with bleary eyes?"
How does the saying go? Envy and jealousy can change a person beyond recognition. Yinzhen is obviously completely changed now. Isn't there a saying that brothers should share happiness and hardships? Why can you sleep soundly before dawn while we have to rely on perseverance to keep going...
What could Yinzuo do when his elder brother harassed him mercilessly in his sleep? He simply raised his hand and slapped the hand that kept harassing him. Yinzhi was obviously not the kind of person who would just sit there and wait for a beating. Seeing Yinzuo slapping him, he quickly dodged his hand to the side. Then he heard a loud slapping sound. He knew without thinking that it was Yinzuo slapping him.
