Since he had decided to pacify Yinzuo, Kangxi raised his hand without hesitation and called Liang Jiugong, who was waiting outside the pavilion, in.
"Liang Jiugong, go to my private storehouse now and pick out some things that the child can use. Then go to Eighteenth Prince and convey my order. Tell him that I was not thoughtful enough before. Eighteenth Prince is still young and may not be able to travel long distances, so I will not take him with me on this trip..."
When Kangxi said this, Yinzuo was completely stunned. "Dad, although this is what you meant, is it appropriate to say it so carelessly? Can you find a more reasonable reason? That way, people will feel more at ease."
But it's not just that, only people who care about you will take your emotions into consideration and care about your sorrows and joys. In history, Kangxi was either wary of or extremely disappointed with his adult princes at this time, so he was looking for comfort from his young son.
And now? Kangxi may still be wary of his sons, but he can't resist Yinzuo's high emotional value every day. Kangxi is always worried about Yinzuo and has endless cases to solve. He is so drunken and happy that he doesn't need to seek comfort from his youngest son.
However, human feelings can only be developed after long-term and attentive interaction. In these years, Kangxi only saw Yinzhi a few times during the holidays. How much affection do you expect him to have for Yinzhi? Kangxi is the emperor, and he has been in control of the world for so many years. How could he bother about a son he didn't care much about?
Yinzuo obviously understood this principle, so even though he kept complaining in his heart, he did not express any opinion on the matter. He just asked Dexi to go back and find some rare things for children, and asked Liang Jiugong to help him bring them to Yinzhi.
Since he had already decided to fight against the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth, Yinzuo no longer tortured himself with this matter. While the flowers were still in bloom and there was still some time before departure, he quickly called his friends and gathered his brothers to his Enze Garden for a small gathering.
"Sixth brother, you're finally willing to come out and meet guests. You don't know how miserable I've been during the time you've been staying indoors. My eldest and second brothers are completely unruly. My Ministry of Works lobby has almost become their gathering place. They know you're in a bad mood, but they keep urging me to go find you. Don't I want to go? I was kicked out when I went..."
In response to Yin'er's sarcastic wail, Yin Zuo frowned and gave him a hard slap on the head. Seeing Yin'er covering his head and taking several steps back, he glared at him unhappily.
"Why are you howling? I'm not deaf, Sixth Brother. How could I not hear you talking normally? What do you mean I'm finally meeting a client? Are you secretly visiting a brothel behind my back? And what do you mean your Ministry of Works lobby? Isn't that place mine?"
As everyone knows, our Ninth Master is very arrogant in public, but he is a coward in front of Yinzuo. It's bad enough that he doesn't dare to fight back when Yinzuo hits him on the head, but he has to go over and explain to him.
"Sixth brother, you're right. You're the head of the Ministry of Industry, so the Ministry of Industry lobby is naturally yours. Wasn't that a slip of the tongue just now? Don't worry, I've always remembered what you said to me. I have been to brothels a few times, but that was for business. Every time I went there, I just drank some wine and enjoyed the singing and dancing. I never stayed there overnight..."
It's no wonder Yinzuo wanted to control everything. The example of Emperor Tongzhi in history is there. When Yinzuo and Yin'er first started to cooperate in business, Yin'er was only a teenager. Yinzuo was afraid that he would be infected by those people in the business world, intentionally or unintentionally, and come back with a disease, so he made this request to him.
Although Yinzhen was arrogant and noisy in front of others, he actually listened to Yinzuo's words. In addition, there were people watching over him, so he didn't make any mistakes over the years. Later, as Yinzhen grew older, he became a veteran in the business world, and Yinzuo gradually stopped caring about his affairs. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he could still keep this red line.
"Xiaojiu did well. Your current status means you're destined to have many wives and concubines in this life. Although they say wild flowers are more fragrant than domestic ones, you should still avoid touching people outside if you can. If you do want to touch them, you should find someone you know well. Otherwise, if you get sick, your life will be over. Okay, don't just stand here. I specially called Eighteenth Brother here today. He seems a little nervous. You and Xiaoshi should go take him out to play and relax."
Yinzuo had just sent Yin'er and Yin'e away to play with Yinzhi. He turned around and saw Yinreng and Yinzhen walking in from outside. Well, these two were not like those two who only had to be scolded by him. It was obvious that these two were here to scold others.
"Xiao Liu, what happened to you these days? I heard that you haven't been in a good mood recently. Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Isn't that a coincidence? The thing that's bothering me is you, second brother. Well, they say being born with knowledge isn't a good thing. Look how happy you are, knowing nothing at all. I've been stuck in a rut for half a month and I'm almost dying of worry.
"Ah, men? Don't they get sentimental for a few days every month? But don't worry, second brother. I'm a strong-willed man, right?"
Yinzuo wanted to say that you have to hold on from now on, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. It’s just like that, there is no need to consume today’s happiness with tomorrow’s worries. There are different scenery in front of and behind the mountains, and you can be free whether there is wind or not.
"You're always talking nonsense. What do you mean men have a few sentimental days every month? Why don't my second brother and I have those too? If you really have something to worry about, don't keep it to yourself. If Xiaojiu and the others don't tell you, what are all those brothers for? Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Even if you get into a huge disaster, we can always come up with a solution together, right?"
Although Yinzuo's forehead hurt from being poked by Yinzhen's finger, he had a bright smile on his face. He raised his hands and pulled Yinreng on the left and right. Just as Yinzhen was about to speak, he heard Yinzhi's unique loud voice coming from behind him.
"Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Xiaoliu, you haven't gotten into trouble again, have you? Come, tell me if I need you to go to Khan Aman and ask for mercy for you."
Hehe, brother, you look so gloating, you don't even look like you're going to plead for me. Are you sure going there wouldn't just add fuel to the fire? Also, brother, how bad do you think I'd have to go before Khan Ama would punish me to the point where you'd have to plead for me? If this unfolds as history has, it's unclear who would plead for whom.
