With such a powerful backer like Kangxi standing by, Yinzuo would naturally not be beaten. After all, as soon as Yinzhen said this, before he could take any action, Kangxi gave him a warning look.
"Alright, you two brothers, stop messing around. Yinzuo, go find a place to sit aside and don't bother your fourth brother anymore. Yinzhen, go draft the decree. This time, except for your third and fifth brothers, all the adult princes must be brought along..."
As soon as Kangxi said this, Yinzhen couldn't help but light a candle for Yinzhi and Yinqi in his heart, thanking me for my willfulness and bravery just now, otherwise I would be one of the people who are left in Beijing in misery.
Yinzhi and Yinqi didn't know at the moment that their father had sacrificed them to make everyone happy. But when the imperial edict was delivered to them, the tears they shed in their hearts were longer than their lives.
It is said that there is absolutely no possibility of changing the imperial edict, but the same thing applies, who can blame us for having someone above us? The first thing Yinqi did after receiving the edict from his father was to take the edict to Chunhui Hall where the empress dowager lived.
Yinqi was raised by the Empress Dowager herself. She loved and favored him no less than Kangxi loved Yinzuo. How could it be unacceptable that her precious grandson could not travel with the emperor? She immediately sent someone to invite Kangxi over.
Although the Empress Dowager was not Kangxi's biological mother and she usually lived in seclusion and never participated in the affairs of the court or the harem, Kangxi respected his stepmother very much. Moreover, she was the only elder still alive by his side, so how could he refuse her request?
So our Prince Cheng was in trouble. No matter how hard life was, at least there was an unlucky guy to accompany him. But now, the other person was about to be boiled in the fire, but he escaped at the last moment.
Since Kangxi had given the order, his subordinates naturally did not dare to neglect it. It only took a few days for everything needed for the trip to be prepared.
Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing. Kangxi chose a good day with a clear sky, and with a command, he took his mother, a group of wives, sons, and grandchildren, and left the capital in a mighty procession.
Yinzhi stood at the city gate for a long time, watching the long procession gradually move away until it could no longer be seen. In his heart, he felt like snowflakes were falling and the north wind was howling...
Yinzuo didn't care whether his third brother, a left-behind child, was miserable or not. As soon as he left the capital, he just felt that there seemed to be something called freedom floating in the air.
July is the hottest time of the year. Yinzuo is afraid of heat, so he naturally won't go out riding like his elder brother to seek torture. But this doesn't mean that he won't take his horse out on the way.
In the evening and early morning, especially when the sun is not too strong, he is still willing to come out and move around.
Of course, Yinzhi, Yinreng, and Yinzhen were also willing to indulge him. Early in the morning, he was pulled by Yinzuo to run on horseback.
"Big brother, second brother, fourth brother... let's agree in advance that no one will cheat this time. See that big tree over there? Whoever gets there first wins, and the prize that Khan Ama gave him today will naturally belong to him..."
There is absolutely no such thing as cheating. As long as you don't go back on your word, there is no need to worry about this problem.
How does the saying go? As long as I don't feel embarrassed, then someone else will be embarrassed. Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Yinzuo's rare confidence waned for a moment, then he curled the corners of his mouth, raised his whip and rushed out first.
"Look, I told you, this guy is the most cunning. Let's not just stand there and chase him quickly..."
Looking at his sons whistling and riding their horses past him, Kangxi felt that what he said was true. His children were all debts. He had lost so much in just a few days.
And that little bastard Yinzuo is really a piece of shit. It was you who wanted to race the horse, so why should I be the one to pay the jackpot?
At this moment, Yinzuo's mind and eyes were filled with the finish line of the race - the big tree. How could he think about other things? Not to mention that he had no idea what his father was thinking at the moment, even if he knew, he might not take it seriously.
Why else? Of course it’s because you are my father. Didn’t I say that when his son has problems, his father has to do the hard work. The debt owed by his son must be repaid by his father.
With Yinzuo's half-baked riding skills, he lost the competition almost without any suspense. Fortunately, his brothers were quite considerate of his face and did not let him lose too badly, and ensured that he was in the top three.
After losing the game, Yinzuo came back and huddled beside his father listlessly, with his eyes wide open and not moving. This scene happened almost every day in the past few days. Kangxi was used to it and was too lazy to pay attention to him when he saw him like this. Anyway, he would be lively again after letting him digest it for a while.
"That doesn't make sense. I should have won today. Father, do you think my brothers forgot about this and didn't give me a handicap? That doesn't make sense. I came in third today, so that means they did give me a handicap. So what's the problem?"
Yinzuo was completely puzzled, but Kangxi saw it clearly and even had the nerve to ask what the problem was. Who told you to be so cocky before the game? Even this clay man still has some earthiness. Will your eldest brother and that kid, the tenth brother, give in to you?
Yinzuo was not stupid. He might not understand the key point at first, but after thinking about it over and over again, he would eventually figure it out.
Naturally, Yinzuo didn't dare to say much about his elder brother. After all, if things went wrong, he would really be punished. However, when it came to punishing Yin?, he showed no mercy.
"Sixth brother, how did I offend you? Can you at least give me a clear explanation? Look how hot the sun is. Why don't we go inside and sit for a while? It's the middle of the day. Even if I'm not afraid of the heat, my horse can't stand it..."
Yinzuo almost turned a deaf ear to Yinzhen's words. Yinzuo's attitude of not responding but ignoring them really confused Yinzhen.
Don't look at Yin? He usually looks careless, but he is actually a smart guy. After reviewing what he had done along the way, he roughly guessed how he had offended his sixth brother.
"Alas, it's true that kind people are often bullied, and kind horses are often ridden. It was obviously Big Brother who won the competition and got the prize, but in the end, it was me, the second-in-command, who got punished. Who can I go to for justice in this matter? As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Sixth Brother, what's the point of punishing me here? Why don't you go and fight Big Brother?"
