What Yinzuo thought was absolutely right. As expected, when Kangxi heard what Yinzuo said, his face suddenly turned dark. He looked around but couldn't find anything suitable. Finally, he simply grabbed the red pen on the table and threw it at Yinzuo.
"What nonsense are you talking about all day, you bastard? Why are you thinking about such useless things at such a young age? Hurry up and get out of here. If I hear you say such nonsense again, I will tell you how I will deal with you..."
Is Yinzuo the kind of person who would sit there and wait to be hit? Obviously not. He swiftly dodged to the side, and the brush thrown by Kangxi fell beside the chair where Yinzuo was sitting.
Yinzuo had no idea how many times he had heard Kangxi say similar things over the years, and he didn't take Kangxi's threat seriously at all. He walked up to Kangxi with a smile, raised his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Father. Although everyone says that everyone must die, I'm reluctant to let you die. After all, God knows I won't have such superb reincarnation skills in my next life. If I accidentally reincarnate into the wrong family, who can I turn to for justice..."
Although Yinzuo's words sounded unreasonable, they did make Kangxi's face, which was as dark as a pot, look a little better.
You have to know that Kangxi had just lost his stepmother, with whom he had supported each other for many years. He was psychologically sensitive to matters of life and death, so there was no way he could listen to Yinzuo's nonsense just now.
"Hmph, it's good that you know. Don't talk nonsense anymore, okay? I don't have any other expectations of you now. I just want you to be healthy and live a good life..."
After returning from the Zunhua Imperial Mausoleum, Kangxi moved back to his Changchun Garden with Yinzuo, Yinreng and others. It was not until early May that his depressed mood improved a little.
"Father, you see, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Since we have Fourth Brother and the others supporting the court, why don't we go to Rehe and stay there for a while? We don't need to bring so many old people with us this time. We can just call Little Nine and Little Ten, along with some guards, and walk and have fun all the way to Rehe. By the time the weather gets really hot, we'll be there."
Perhaps it was because he had seen things more clearly after experiencing the separation of life and death, Kangxi suddenly passed the buck and threw all the affairs of the court to Yinzhen, Yinzhi and his brothers, and he took Yinzuo and Yinreng to live in Changchun Garden, becoming a hands-off boss.
Kangxi was obviously tempted by Yinzuo's proposal. After all, although his life seemed magnificent, when he thought about it carefully, he had no self at all.
Before he ascended the throne, he was a prince, carrying the hopes of his grandmother and the expectations of his mother. After becoming emperor, he shouldered the burden of the people. He got up early and worked late every day, working diligently for fear that any wrong step would bring him eternal infamy.
Now that he has decided to put down the heavy burden, Kangxi feels that he should live a few years well for himself. After all, he does not believe in the afterlife and only wants to enjoy himself in this life.
Kangxi was always decisive in his actions. Since he had decided to live for himself in the future, he did not hesitate at all. He summoned princes such as Yinzhen and Yinzhi and important officials of the court such as Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu to Changchun Garden for a simple handover. Then he gathered the people and took Yinzuo, Yinreng, Yinlu, Yinxi and the guards out of the capital.
"Father, you should have done this a long time ago. You ascended the throne at the age of eight, worked diligently at the age of fourteen, eliminated the Three Feudatories, recovered Taiwan, and personally led three expeditions to Dzungar. You've lived your entire life for others. Now that you're old, and you don't know how many years you have left to live, you should let go of everything and live for yourself. Don't you think being accompanied by this worldly life is much more comfortable than being in the government?"
It is said that the general will not obey the orders of the army outside. Even if Yinzuo has Kangxi to keep him in check, he can change his mind at any time. Look, he changed his mind as soon as he left the capital. Why should they go to Rehe when they have Yin'er, a god of wealth, around them? We should find a good place now, facing the sea and enjoying the blooming flowers in spring.
"Xiaojiu, they say you train an army for a thousand days but deploy it for a single moment. Tell me honestly, was Sixth Brother good to you in the past? You'd better be good, but when I need you, you can't let me down. Father, why don't we go to Rehe instead? I heard it's close to the sea and has a nice environment. We can find a beautiful place there and build a big house. Your son will accompany you to listen to the ebb and flow of the tide in the summer and watch the falling snow in the winter. Just thinking about it, we can go to the beach with a wooden bucket to play with the sea. Such a small life makes me feel comfortable..."
It must be said that Yinzuo's proposal sounded quite tempting. Although Jiaoao was a bit far from the capital, it was not out of reach. The climate there was pleasant, with no severe winters and no scorching summers. It was a good place for retirement.
Kangxi always spoiled Yinzuo, and they came out this time to relax. After discussing it, they immediately changed their route. However, Yinzhen was overwhelmed when he received the news from the secret guard that Kangxi and his group were not going to Rehe but ran to Laizhou Prefecture halfway.
"Humph, I knew that with Xiaoliu around, there would be no peace. The same goes for Khan Ama. Why did he just let him do whatever he wanted? They only have a few guards with them, and including the secret guards, there are less than a hundred guards in total. What if something goes wrong along the way?"
Now that everyone has run away, what's the point of being angry? The most urgent thing is to quickly arrange their new itinerary. Yinzhen, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally calmed down. He asked someone to find Yinzhi and arranged for him to lead the team to secretly escort Kangxi and his entourage.
With Yinzhi leading the way, Yinzuo and his companions had a smooth journey. The journey that should have taken them more than ten days ended up taking them more than a month as they played while walking.
Jiaoao at that time was not as prosperous as it was in later generations. The tourist attractions that were once crowded with people are now mostly small bays with few people. However, this is obviously more to Yinzuo's liking. After all, only in this vast world can one achieve great things.
"Xiaojiu, do you see that large open space over there? Arrange for someone to level it, and then send someone to the Ministry of Works to find someone to conduct an on-site survey. I want to build a large farm here..."
Well, Yinzhen now understood. So his sixth brother's words about raising troops for a thousand days and deploying them for a moment were actually waiting for him. Yinzhen suddenly felt like being completely ruthless.
But looking at his sixth brother staring at him with a fierce look, Yinzhen immediately became timid. Hey, isn't it just building a farm? This is just a small amount of money. What if he shook his head and his sixth brother had him picked up and thrown into the sea? There's really no need to risk his life for money...
