Yinzuo had no shortage of people to serve tea and water, so he didn't call Fourteenth over for this. As I said before, he called Fourteenth over to act with him. If this kid hadn't been making a fuss and refusing to cooperate again and again, his play would have been dragged on until now and still not got to the point. Fortunately, this kid was smart this time, whether it was intentional or unintentional, he was able to continue with the next part.
Yinzuo first gave Fourteenth a look that told him to calm down, then waved his hand to signal him to go back to his seat. After Fourteenth sat down, he slowly spoke.
"You are really good at judging others by your own standards. You've always seen Sixth Brother always need someone to serve him tea and water. I called you over because I thought you answered the question well and wanted to praise you, but what happened to you? You really disappoint me. Let me ask you, from childhood to adulthood, were the beatings you received earned by your own strength? Whether it was me, Fourth Brother, Khan Ama or Mother, or even our brothers, when we were dealing with you, was there ever a time when we wronged you..."
It must be said that Yinzuo has something special in his mouth. Look at how he fooled the silly boy Fourteen with just a few words. If you want to know how Fourteen feels at this moment, it can be summed up in two words - guilt.
"Sixth brother, I'm sorry. This time I've been judging others by my own standards. Ultimately, it's not entirely my fault. It's your fault for taking a detour again. But Sixth brother, why did you suddenly think of asking me that question? You suddenly became Qin Shi Huang's eldest son, Fusu? That doesn't sound plausible."
Unreliable? Haha, if you think it's unreliable, it only shows that you still don't know much about this world. Your sixth brother is a living example. I also woke up one day and turned from modern Yin Zuo into the sixth prince Yin Zuo of the Qing Dynasty. Did I say it's unreliable? But no matter how Yin Zuo felt in his heart, all of this was ultimately a secret that belonged to him alone, and could never be revealed to outsiders.
"Alright, don't I know what kind of person you are? I don't know what you're thinking about all day long, just useless things. Why did I suddenly think of asking you a question like that? It's because I heard Third Brother mention the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, and elixirs that I suddenly felt emotional. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the First Emperor of Qin had a bee-like nose, long eyes, and a bird-like chest. What does that mean? It means that the First Emperor of Qin had a high nose bridge, phoenix eyes, and an aura that made him look unparalleled in bravery."
Yinzuo suddenly paused when he said this, and actually raised his hand to pick up the cup in front of him and started drinking tea. Although Fourteenth didn't know why his sixth brother suddenly praised Qin Shihuang, this didn't stop him from wanting to continue listening to his sixth brother's story. You know, his sixth brother always told good stories.
"Sixth brother, how can you be like this? Why are you drinking tea in the middle of telling a story? Stop drinking it. Don't you see that the eldest brother and the others are waiting for you to continue?"
Yinzhi and the others also showed interest in continuing to listen, which meant that the purpose of Yinzuo's previous pause had been achieved. What he wanted was for Yinzhi and the others to listen to the conversation between him and Fourteenth, especially Yinzhen. So when faced with Fourteenth's urging, he was not annoyed. While handing the cup in his hand to Fourteenth, he also gave him a teachable look.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I've said so much, can't I even drink some water to moisten my throat? I'm going to analyze for you what I felt when I heard Third Brother's words. So you're just taking it as a story? Well, since everyone wants to listen, I'll continue chatting with you. Where were we just now? Yes, I was talking about my charming ancestor's extraordinary appearance and bearing. In fact, it's not just his appearance and bearing, his height is also extraordinary. The Song Dynasty Taiping Yulan and Qin Shigao both record that the King of Qin was eight feet six inches tall. The Records of the Grand Historian also records that the King of Qin was over eight feet tall. According to the Qin ruler, that would be about 1.98 meters. Speaking of this, I want to ask you if you know how tall his sword is."
"No, weren't we just praising Qin Shi Huang earlier? Why are we talking about swords again? Kangxi hadn't said much the entire time, but he had listened to every word Yinzuo said. Seeing Yinzuo trying to keep him in suspense again, he couldn't help but reach out and gently pat him on the back, saying unhappily.
"Oh, what about your charming ancestor? Qin Shi Huang was a Han Chinese, and you're a Manchu. There's nothing like them. If you want to talk, just shut up. When I ask you about court affairs, you usually hesitant and clueless, but when I talk about your charming ancestor, you quote scriptures and tell me everything you know."
When Yinzuo heard what his father said, he understood everything. Well, he must have been angry because he heard him praising Qin Shi Huang. But there was nothing he could do about it. Although his father was a pretty good emperor when viewed on his own, he was far inferior to his charming ancestor.
"Father, look at you being narrow-minded again. What do you mean Qin Shi Huang was a Han Chinese? Why are Han Chinese called Han Chinese? That's because of the Han Dynasty. Han Chinese is a name that only came into being after the Han Dynasty. I prefer to call Qin Shi Huang a Huaxia person. And what do you mean my charming ancestor and I are not related at all? It's true that I am a Manchu, but I also identify with the thousands of years of culture of China. As a Huaxia person, how can I not be related at all to my charming ancestor? Humph, my son is angry. Father, let's break up for a while."
Although Kangxi was good at scolding people, he couldn't bear to scold Yinzuo. After just a few words, Yinzuo silenced him and sulked. Although he disagreed with Yinzuo's statement of comparing himself to a Han Chinese, he couldn't find any words to refute him. So Kangxi decided to break off his friendship with his annoying son for a while. At this time, Yinzuo didn't care whether his father was angry or not, and started to continue what he had just said.
"I think everyone should have heard the story of the King of Qin circling the pillar. According to the Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Assassins, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin Shi Huang, the King of Qin's sword was too long, and he tried to pull it out three times before he was forced to play hide-and-seek around the pillar with Jing Ke. In the end, the people below reminded the King to carry the sword, and the First Emperor put the sword on his back before he could draw it. And in the Salt and Iron Treatises and On Courage, it is also mentioned that Jing Ke's dagger was about eight inches long, and the King of Qin's sword was about seven feet long. What does seven feet mean? Converted to 1.6 meters, 1.6 meters, isn't it the same as him carrying Cao Cao on his back? Of course, none of this is important. What is important is that such a man of great talent and strategy ultimately died at the hands of a group of quacks. What does this show? It shows that cultivating immortality is a scam. Fourth brother, what do you think?"
Yinzhen was suddenly filled with questions. Why are you asking me? Do I think it's important? Even if you want to give advice, shouldn't you ask Khan Ama?
