Although there was a capable prince like Yinzhen in the capital, Kangxi was still the emperor after all, and naturally could not stay outside the capital for long. Just after the New Year, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kangxi began to have people pack up and prepare to return.
For Yinzuo, it actually doesn't make much difference where he lives. If he really compares them, living in the capital is actually more comfortable. If the Tangquan Palace in the capital had not been completed yet, they would definitely not have traveled a long distance to come here.
The weather in the first month of the year was very cold, and Yinzuo had never been one to endure hardship. Rather than riding a horse outside in the cold wind, he obviously preferred to sit comfortably on his father's carriage.
Because of the presence of the Empress Dowager and a group of concubines, the team naturally had to move at a very fast speed. Fortunately, there was not much snow after the New Year, so the road was not slippery. After five or six days of marching, the huge team finally returned to the capital.
As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning, and a year's plan begins in spring. The court was busiest right after the Spring Festival, and upon his return, Emperor Kangxi plunged headfirst into government affairs. Every time he opened his eyes, he was either in a court meeting or on his way to one.
Of course, Yinzhi and the others were not much better off. They were all busy like spinning tops. Just from the fact that Yinreng, the former crown prince who should have been feared by others, was assigned a task, you can imagine how busy the others were.
Of course, even if everyone was busy as hell, this matter had nothing to do with Yinzuo. As soon as he returned to the capital, he locked himself in his magnificent palace. Once the door was closed, he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
"Second Brother, if I remember correctly, I haven't seen Xiaoliu much since we came back from Zunhua. What has this kid been busy with recently? He's been nowhere to be seen all day long."
Yinreng put down the file he had finished processing, picked up another one and started to look at it. He was too lazy to answer Yinzhi's questions.
What has Xiaoliu been busy with lately? What could a rich and idle man like him be busy with? Of course, he's busy eating, busy playing, busy avoiding idleness. Otherwise, why do you think he hasn't been hanging around in the palace recently?
As a ruthless person who was able to participate in the fight for the throne in history, Yinzhi was naturally not stupid. He could naturally understand what Yinreng could understand.
Let’s not talk about Yinzhi and Yinzuo. They are his brothers. It’s true that he is afraid that his brothers will suffer, and he is also afraid that his brothers will drive Land Rover. When he thinks about how busy they are and even drinking water is a waste of time, but Yinzuo can live so comfortably, Yinzhi feels like a cat’s paw in his heart.
"Li Yu, go to Prince Zhao's mansion later. When you see your Sixth Master, tell him that the weather is nice today and I'd like to invite him out for a walk. However, I have to do some business at the palace first. The meeting place is at the palace gate..."
Yinzhi was not stupid. He knew that if he asked Yinzuo to enter the palace at this time, he would definitely find excuses to refuse. So he simply arranged the meeting place at the palace gate. It was only a few steps away. He would just go and bring the person over personally when the time came.
As expected by Yinzhi, when Yinzuo heard that his elder brother had set the meeting place at the palace gate, his vigilance was immediately put down. After sending away Li Yu who came to report the news, Yinzuo did not delay any longer. He asked Dexi to come and help him pack up, and then led his men towards the palace gate.
How does the saying go? Yes, it's like throwing a meat bun at a dog, it's gone but never comes back. This is exactly the situation Yinzuo is in now. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Yinzhi who had been waiting there. Before he could go over to say hello, he was held down by the guards who had been prepared on the side!
With the enemy outnumbering us, the resistance of Akshan and his men was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. If Yinzuo didn't understand that he was caught in a trap, he would be a fool.
"No, big brother, what's the rule here today? If I remember correctly, I shouldn't have offended you recently. What's going on?"
Yinzhi reached out and took Yinzuo from the guard, looked him up and down, and was relieved to see that he was unharmed.
"Look at what you said, Xiaoliu. We haven't seen each other recently. Of course, you haven't offended me. Big Brother asked someone to invite you here today. I really have some requests for you."
No, I haven't been out for only seven or eight days. What's going on? The situation outside has changed. When did asking others for help become so justified?
But now that the person has fallen into the hands of others, it is obviously too late to say anything. Yinzuo simply stopped struggling, spread his hands and gave in.
"Okay, then, big brother, tell me why you went to so much trouble to trick your younger brother here."
What Yinzhen wanted to ask Yinzuo to do was simple and difficult at the same time. There is a saying that goes, "A cannon shot is worth a thousand taels of gold." Now the war between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar is in full swing, and money is needed everywhere. Kangxi is thinking of going through the account books of the Ministry of Revenue to see if he can save some more money.
Yinzuo has a photographic memory and is an expert at calculating with an abacus. If he is left idle at this time, it would be a waste of talent. Yinzhi has been tortured by the account book these days, so he thought of Yinzuo.
Yinzuo refused at first, but before he could utter a word, he was stopped by a threatening look from his elder brother. Until he was dragged by Yinzhi to sit in the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue and the abacus and account book were placed in front of him, Yinzuo was regretting it in his heart. Why did you act so cowardly at that time?
With the addition of Yinzuo, the work efficiency has indeed improved a lot. It's just a pity for our Prince Zhao. As soon as he opens his eyes, it's obvious that his life is hopeless after today. There are also dark circles under his eyes.
Kangxi naturally couldn't have been unaware of Yinzhen's high-profile decision to bring Yinzuo over, but as the saying goes, both sides of the hand are human, so he couldn't be too partial to one.
Yinzuo was a very lazy person, so naturally he would not run back and forth every day like Yinzhi and others. After all, he had a place to live in the palace. The side hall of the Qianqing Palace was prepared for him. So people simply asked Dexi to go back and pack up his things and live there.
Even if Kangxi was busy, the father and son now lived in the Qianqing Palace, so they would naturally see each other. Kangxi's eyesight was pretty good, so he could not fail to see Yinzuo's listless look. Early that morning, the father and son met on the way to the dining hall.
"You feel sleepy as soon as you start your shift, don't you? It's okay. Once we get through this period, we can sleep as much as we want. And think about it from another angle. Isn't waking up early good for your physical and mental health? Yes, it's a bit late at night, but isn't my sleep quality better than before? Look, don't you feel more relaxed all over after waking up? Not only that, I can also eat on time every day..."
