The saying that brothers working together can achieve great things is not said in vain. Yinzhen started working hard from the time he ascended the throne in October, and continued to work until the first month of the new year, before he finally sorted out the mess in the court.
The New Year marked the end of the Kangxi era. At the beginning of the new year, Yinzhen officially issued an edict to change the reign title to Yongzheng. This year was the first year of Yongzheng.
Kangxi is now very open-minded about all this. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. From the moment he decided to abdicate, he began to take all this lightly. Don’t you think it’s better to enjoy the rest of your life now than to work yourself to death in the past?
After the first month of the lunar year, Kangxi and Yinzuo, father and son, could no longer stay in the capital. They first took their people for a walk around the capital, and when the weather gradually warmed up, they simply gathered their people and took advantage of the fireworks in March to go to the misty Jiangnan.
That saying was true. If one had money and leisure time, life would not be bad no matter what era one lived in. Yinzuo had always been a wealthy man, and Kangxi had quite a bit of money in his treasury. The father and son traveled leisurely for nearly three months before they finally arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Father, we received a letter from Laizhou Prefecture saying that our house is almost finished and asking if we would like to go over and take a look."
Look, they must go and see it. After all, they have seen most of the famous scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. If they set off now, the weather will be cooler by the time they slowly stroll all the way to Laizhou Prefecture.
Both father and son were the kind of people who acted decisively and didn't like to dwell on things. Since they had decided to go back, it was natural that they would do it sooner rather than later. They simply packed up their things and set off for Laizhou the next day.
Because the weather is hot and they are not in a hurry, in order to prevent heatstroke, Yinzuo and his group simply get up early every day to travel, and when the weather gets hot, they find a place to rest, and then set off again until the sun is about to set, looking for a place to stay along the way.
As the weather became hotter, the group simply abandoned their horses and boarded the ship. Although Jiangnan was thousands of miles away from Laizhou Prefecture, Yinzuo and his crew's ship sailed day and night, so it only took them about a month to reach Laizhou Prefecture.
With the two giant Buddha statues of Kangxi and Yinzuo here to protect the environment, even if the people in the Ministry of Works had a million guts, they would not dare to mess around with Yinzuo. Therefore, the construction of Yinzuo's manor, which is backed by mountains and faces the sea, is really good.
The Zhuangzi covers a very large area. Except for a few courtyards for people to live in, the rest are landscapes with changing scenery. Led by an official from the Ministry of Works, the father and son took a sedan chair to tour around the Zhuangzi. Except for a few places that needed some minor changes, they were very satisfied with the rest of the place.
As the saying goes, one's happiness must be built on the suffering of others in order to be happier. On the second day after Yinzuo moved into the manor, he specially wrote several letters and asked someone to send them to the capital to his brothers and younger brothers.
Isn't there a saying that goes, "It's not the scarcity of wealth that worries us, but the inequality of it." It would be fine if everyone was living a hard life, but why are we tired as dogs while you can travel around the country and live in a big villa facing the sea? Whoever wants to fall in love with this crappy place can go, but I'm not going to go there. I want to live in a place facing the sea with flowers blooming in spring.
Yinzhi had suffered from Qin for a long time, so he was the first one to run away. Yinzuo's boasting was always an indiscriminate attack, so his brother Yinzhen also received the letter.
Yinzhen knew his brother's character very well, so he didn't believe a word of Yinzhi's lies about him suddenly being ill. What happened? He was full of energy the day before, but couldn't get out of bed the next day. I think your illness is fake, and you really want to give up your job.
Although Yinzhen knew that Yinzhi was planning to quit and run away, he really didn't expect that he would be so proactive. Not long after the memorial was submitted, someone came to report that someone saw Prince Zhi and his personal guards leaving the capital. As for where they were going, it was obvious that they were going to Laizhou Prefecture.
As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two. Even if Yinzhen was prepared, he could not withstand the magical powers of his brothers. Since he knew that their eldest brother had run away, three of them had already run away in just half a month. Now, when Yinzhen saw a young eunuch coming in from outside, he could only think of two words - headache.
"Tell me, who got away today? I'm telling you, are your eyes just there to vent your anger? A living person like that walked right in front of you, and you couldn't see it?"
Yinzhen felt bitter, but the guards felt even more bitter. Their eyes were naturally not meant to vent their anger, but they could not resist the other party's disguise. After all, have you ever seen a prince disguised as a woodcutter and sneak out? The other guards walked past them openly, but the other party used the excuse of going out of the city on business, and they couldn't stop them from leaving.
Yinzhen was fuming and slamming the table, while Yinzuo welcomed his eldest brother, second brother, third brother, ninth brother, and tenth brother one after another. Except for the guy who ran slower and was detained, the fifth, seventh, and twelfth brothers, the eighth brother who was often stationed in Japan, and the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers who were on the front line, all the masters who participated in the fight for the throne in history were present.
"Hahaha, Third Brother, your trick is too good! Crouching in the waterwheel to sneak out is a first for you. Second Brother, your idea is not bad either. Disguise yourself as a woodcutter and walk out in front of the guards. I'm afraid Fourth Brother would never have thought you would do this. As for Little Nine, you should be more careful and learn more from Little Ten. If it weren't for him, you might have been caught by Fourth Brother this time... But is it really okay for you all to run away like this? I don't know how angry Fourth Brother would be if he knew about this. Father, do you think Fourth Brother would be so angry that he would come and arrest us himself?"
So, would Yinzhen be so angry that he would come over and arrest them personally? The answer is definitely yes. After all, as the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. If you all quit, why should I stay here and work like a slave? At worst, I can just quit being the emperor and return the throne to Khan Ama.
When Yinzhen brought his men over, Yinzhi and his group, led by Yinzuo, were rolling up their trouser legs and bending over to catch seafood on the rocks by the sea not far from the village. Although they were a bit far away, Yinzhen could imagine how happy they were at the moment just by hearing their laughter coming from afar.
As the saying goes, jealousy can make a person look completely different. Yinzhen has obviously changed beyond recognition now. He is no longer in a hurry to pay his respects to Kangxi. Instead, he reins in his horse and leads his men towards the beach where Yinzhi and his companions are fishing...
"Hey, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Little Six... It seems like you're all living well these days. How about taking me along too?"
