It must be said that the brotherhood between Yinzhen and his friends is a bit too plastic. Even though they all expressed sympathy for Yinzhen just now, when it comes to asking them to return to Beijing, they all act like they have learned how to change their faces.
"Old Four, it's not that I don't want to go back to Beijing to help you, but I'm really old now. Not only are my eyesight blurry, but my physical strength can't keep up. Look, I just ran those two steps, and I'm still out of breath."
Haha, I don't believe you, you old man are so mean. Even if you want to find an excuse to fool me, at least you should put your heart into it. Let's not talk about your eyesight, you don't even have the strength to keep up. Who was that person who was carrying Xiaoliu, who weighed over 100 pounds, and walking so fast just now?
"I'm so sorry, Fourth Brother. Even if I wanted to help you, I'm powerless right now. You know my health has never been good, and I can't handle your high-intensity work pace. If you want me to live a few more years, let me stay with Khan Ama and fulfill my filial duty."
Hey, are you trying to blackmail me morally? What? If I don't agree, you can just stay by Khan Ama's side and be filial to him. Are you going to pretend to die on the spot in front of me?
"Fourth Brother, Third Brother can go back with you, but we have to make it clear in advance. First of all, I'm a human being, and I need to have a normal schedule. If you still treat me like an animal, I won't agree."
Whether you agree or not is a matter for the future. The most urgent thing now is to trick as many of you as possible. When I go back, I will set up a tight net inside and outside the capital. I don’t believe that you can get away again.
When Yinzuo saw his fourth brother looking at him, he quickly rushed to Kangxi's side, raised his hands and hugged his father's arm. The meaning was very clear: where my father is, there I am?
Yinzhen's gaze only paused on Yinzuo for a moment before moving away. Never mind that, he was incredibly lazy to begin with, and now he had a backer whom he couldn't even handle. It was hard to say who would help whom when he got him back.
It's not uncommon to say that this person is sometimes mean. Just now, when people looked at him, they were afraid of being drafted into the army. Now that they stopped looking at him, Yinzuo felt that his dignity was insulted. Wasn't it said that we should treat everyone equally? Why did he skip over me?
"Fourth brother, you're being partial. Why don't you ask me? Maybe I'd be willing to go back to the capital with you and help you?"
You're so partial, so biased, so blaming others. Why didn't I ask you? Don't you have any idea? I just want to ask you who was holding your father's arm and threatening me just now?
It's me, it's me, it's me. After understanding the meaning expressed in Yinzhen's eyes, Yinzuo felt a little embarrassed for a rare time. He smiled awkwardly at his fourth brother, then raised his hand to his mouth and made a gesture to shut up, then obediently retreated to sit next to Kangxi.
Yinzhen and Yinyang had never been interested in the imperial court, but with their elder and second brothers leading the way, they naturally didn't want to miss this golden opportunity. However, their resistance was clearly weak, because after they had presented their views, they suddenly discovered that their wise and powerful fourth brother seemed to have suddenly gone deaf...
This grand and victorious escape has now come to an end. In the end, no matter how Yin'er and Yin'e resisted, they could not escape the arrangement of fate. As the emperor, Yinzhen naturally could not stay in the manor for long. After resting for a night, he took Yinzhi, Yin'er and Yin'e back.
Near the Spring Festival of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Yinzuo received a piece of news that was very surprising to him. His cousin, who had been away from home for many years, had finally returned from the remote place in Mobei.
Although Yinzuo usually showed no mercy when dealing with Fourteenth Brother, this was his brother from the same mother. It was natural for him not to miss him after not seeing him for many years. On the day he received the news, Yinzuo urged people to pack up their things and dragged his father back to the capital.
The father and son hurried and finally arrived in the capital before the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month. Yinzuo always had a good eye. He saw his conspicuous little brother jumping up and down while he was still far away from the city gate.
"Sixth brother, Sixth brother, you're finally back. Why did you run so far away for no reason? I've had people guarding here since I heard you were coming back. I haven't seen you in years. I missed you so much..."
Do you want me to die? Humph, how could I not see that? I can see from the strength of your hands that you really want me to die. If you don't let go, I'm going to strangle your sixth brother to death...
Fourteenth had not been on the front line all these years for nothing. Apart from anything else, his strength was much stronger than before. Yinzuo was almost suffocated by his bear hug. He struggled for a long time before he finally pulled the excited Fourteenth over.
Compared to the passionate Fourteenth, Thirteenth's way of expressing his longing was much more subtle. At least he still remembered the rules he had learned before. He first stepped forward to salute Kangxi, and then walked to Yinzuo after being called.
This city gate was obviously not a place to talk, so the group did not stay for long and followed Kangxi into the palace. Although Kangxi was now the emperor, he still lived in the Qianqing Palace where he used to live, while the new emperor Yinzhen moved from the Yuqing Palace to the Yangxin Palace.
After a tiring journey, Kangxi did not keep the Thirteenth and Fourteenth brothers for long. After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the father and sons sat down and chatted for a while, then he made the excuse of being tired and had the Thirteenth and Fourteenth brothers sent away.
For Yinzuo, whether his father or his brother was the emperor, it had little impact on him. After all, as far as now, except that he had to spare a little more time every day to accompany his father, other aspects were no different from before.
This time when he returned to Beijing, it was the same as before. He still lived in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and the courtyard in the South Three Houses that once belonged to him was still empty. He could still order people to order food in the imperial kitchen without restraint, and he could also enter and leave the palace freely with a token as before.
If there was any difference, it might be that his mother moved from Yonghe Palace to Shoukang Palace and replaced his imperial mother's former position, or that there were more unfamiliar faces when he occasionally strolled in the Imperial Garden.
A few days after Yinzuo and his companions returned to Beijing, it was the Little New Year. Right after the Little New Year, it was New Year's Eve. With Kangxi, the retired emperor, present, the family banquet in the Palace of Heavenly Purity was naturally no different from the previous ones.
Even though Yinzhen was now the emperor, he still sat below Kangxi, and his brothers Yinzhi and Yinreng were arranged in order according to their seniority.
Yinzuo's position remained the same as before. On his left was his fifth brother Yinqi, and on his right was his seventh brother Yinyou. The three brothers had not seen each other for a long time, and as soon as they got together, they started chatting in whispers.
