Chapter 53 You are truly cute in my eyes

Yinzhen's proposal to Yinsi was naturally a smart one.

It was just that he was spoiled by Concubine De since he was a child, and was a pampered little prince for a long time, so even after his marriage, he was still very much loved by Kangxi.

Therefore, his so-called scheming was not something he acquired after he matured, but something he realized during his years as a favored prince.

His life was naturally precarious because of the favors of Kangxi and Defei, and he was not as mature as Yinxiang.

The two are not far apart in age and ranked together, but it is obvious that Yinxiang, who lost his mother early, is more mature and thoughtful.

He hung out with Yinsi because Yinsi did not have the same background as him. Yinsi was smooth and good at dealing with people, which made it easy for a young prince like Yinzhen, who had a high opinion of himself, to follow him.

It seems that if Yinsi is promoted, his own value can be highlighted. It is much better than following his own brother and the older brothers.

When the crown prince was put under house arrest, Yinzhen knew that his father would not be able to bring himself to do anything to him.

It is useless for them to target the prince anymore.

And the things they did might be discovered by the Emperor's father.

Yinzhen and Yinsi secretly agreed that if the emperor did not take action against the prince, then the things they did would only be passed over vaguely and they would not receive any substantial punishment. Otherwise, the prince's relationship with Hongxiang Pavilion and the Jiangnan loss case would not be concealed.

If the emperor wants to cover up, he must cover up everything his sons have done.

Yinzhen and Yinsi spent this New Year's Day in a very low-key manner, trying not to attract attention in front of the emperor so as not to be implicated.

But if the prince is released, he will sooner or later find out about their affairs, and given the prince's temper, he will definitely take revenge on them.

Yinsi and Yinzhi must be prepared in this regard.

But to be honest, Yinzhen didn't take the prince seriously.

Of course, the emperor values ​​the prince the most, but if the prince keeps making mistakes, will the emperor still tolerate him without limits? The emperor will get fed up one day.

And can the prince really have no grudges against the emperor? If he really had no grudges, he would not have arranged his people to try to recapture Cao Yin.

The emperor and the prince must be suspicious of each other.

Without Suo Etu's help, the prince only had the reputation of the Jiangnan scholars, but this reputation was not enough to support him for long. If he was determined, the prince's reputation would collapse quickly.

Ling Pu has not been dealt with yet, so who else is available around the prince?

Unless the prince wants to gamble with his status as the crown prince.

But when it really came to gambling, the prince was no longer a concern.

Yinsi and Yinzhi wanted to keep a low profile, and the ninth and tenth brothers were also quiet.

However, Yinzhen went in and out of his mother's palace and looked at his wife Fujin, and the abnormal behavior of his mother and daughter attracted Yinzhen's attention.

The fact that he was able to give advice to Yinsi showed that he was quite sharp.

Yinzhen was more straightforward in front of Defei, and she forced him to confess. Only then did Yinzhen know that Defei had actually contacted Yinzhen through the Fourth Fujin, wanting to ask his fourth brother to help him.

They just wanted to prevent the emperor from punishing them.

There was nothing wrong with anything else, but Defei's behavior made Yinzhen very angry.

Yinzhen had a quarrel with Concubine De, saying that he could handle such a problem. He had grown up and knew what he was doing.

"Why did you go to him, mother? How could he help his son?"

Yinzhen was also angry at Concubine De, because he had to bring it up even though he knew Yinzhen would not do anything.

Defei sighed deeply in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

The matter had not been revealed at first, and Concubine De was very worried. Now that she told the truth, she saw that Yinzhen had his own plans, and she could not influence her eldest son, let alone her youngest son, so she had to let go.

She could not help with matters in the court or outside.

Only in the harem, by supporting Yinzhen, could he at least have someone who had a say in front of the emperor.

But since Kangxi was determined to release the prince, he was unwilling to let the brothers quarrel again.

Kangxi also knew that the Crown Prince would probably not let the Eighth and Fourteenth Princes go in private.

And the Eighth and Fourteenth Brothers were indeed too bold and reckless to do such a thing during the southern tour. They need to be taught a lesson, otherwise they really don't know their place.

Kangxi always put things in a slow manner when dealing with urgent matters. The same is true for the matters during the southern tour, which he would deal with next year.

At the end of the New Year, Kangxi took advantage of the situation when his sons were all there, accusing Yinsi of not serving him well and saying that he should find a quiet place to reflect on himself.

So he sent Yinsi to the tomb of the Empress Dowager and asked him to guard the tomb.

Everyone knew clearly that the Emperor wanted to release the Crown Prince, so he transferred the Eighth Prince away.

This was both a punishment for the Eighth Prince and also a way to protect him.

Even Yinsi himself calmly confessed his crime and then accepted the order.

Only Yinzhen was dissatisfied.

He thought that they had been very low-key, and when the prince came out, they brothers would be even more low-key and would not offend the prince. If the prince wanted to suppress them, they would only protect themselves.

But the emperor suppressed the starling in this way! He sent him to guard the tomb without giving a specific deadline. How is this different from being exiled?

Yinzhen couldn't stand it because of his brotherly loyalty.

Yinzhen immediately rushed out and told Kangxi that he had dreamed of the Grand Empress Dowager in the past two days. The Grand Empress Dowager said that she missed him. Yinzhen said, "Since the Grand Empress Dowager misses me, I will also go to guard the mausoleum with my big bird to let the Grand Empress Dowager feel at ease."

Yinzhen also winked at Yin'e and Yin'e, asking them to show brotherhood and go together. They had strength in numbers. They didn't believe that the emperor could exile them indefinitely even if so many people went together.

Yin'e's reaction was not that fast. Yin'e felt his scalp tingling when he saw Yin'e's eyes. Is the fourteenth brother crazy? Can they guard the tomb together?

Yinzhen didn't want to go, he really didn't want to go.

Yinzhen glanced at Yinqi secretly.

The Fifth Prince understood and quietly moved over to stop both Yin'e and Yin'er.

After this hesitation, Yin'e no longer had the courage to come out.

Yinzhen didn't move at all, and took this opportunity to pretend to be frightened with the Tenth Prince.

Kangxi looked at Yinsi and Yinzhi deeply, and after a while he smiled and said, "Okay. The Empress Dowager will definitely be happy if you go to show your filial piety."

Kangxi had an air of chill all over his body and although he looked like he was smiling, there was actually no smile in his eyes. Instead, he stared at Yinsi and Yinzhi with a cold gaze.

Until everyone had left, Yinzhen arrived at the Fourth Prince's Mansion. When he was in front of Yinzhen, he still felt a chill in his heart when he thought of the emperor's eyes.

"Is the emperor very angry?" Yinzhen murmured.

Yinzhen said calmly: "I am angry. But more of it is disappointment."

Yinzhen was not standing next to him just now.

Since that time, Yinzhen was very careful to avoid him, as if he was afraid that he would push him out again at any time.

Yinzhen had been following Yinsi closely. Even if he had just stood next to him, Yinzhen couldn't catch him. The boy had escaped too quickly.

Yinzhen really should be taught a lesson. He was young and full of energy, and he was self-righteous.

It's better to go and guard the mausoleum, so that they can calm down.

Whether to come back and continue to hit the wall, or to keep a low profile from now on, depends on their own choice.

If these two people don't suffer enough losses, Yinzhen will not be able to use them in the future. They will not be willing to be used by Yinzhen.

He is too busy now and doesn't have the energy to train them. Since the emperor is willing to do so, let them grow and develop under the guidance of the royal father.

Yinzhen's eyes fell on Yin'er: "They are guarding the mausoleum, and they won't be back for a while. When the prince recovers, they will be guarding the mausoleum. There are guards everywhere, and the prince can't do anything to them."

"During the southern tour, you did not participate and did not attack the prince, but in the eyes of the prince, you were in cahoots with them. They left but you were still there. If they didn't attack you, who would they attack?"

Yinzhen felt extremely wronged: "But isn't there still the Tenth Prince?"

Yinzhen said, "Tenth brother has nothing in his hands. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not the one in charge. The prince must know that you supported the eighth brother in the past."

"Tenth brother, I don't have any thoughts, and I won't do anything on weekdays. If the prince attacks tenth brother, the people of the Niuhulu clan will not sit idly by. There is no need for the prince to ask for trouble. But for you, I think the prince will not let you go."

Yinzhen said with a bitter face: "Fourth brother, how about I also volunteer to guard the mausoleum? They guard the Grand Empress Dowager, and I go to Shengjing to guard the mausoleum of our ancestors. This will at least separate me from them, right?"

Yinzhen said: "We are separated this time, but what about the future?"

Yinzhen's eyes were sharp, "Ninth brother, you should know what I mean. It's time to separate. If you trust me, do as I say. Otherwise, you can still follow them and talk about your brotherhood and guard the mausoleum together. I will not care about you in the future."

Yinzhen sighed, "No, no, no. No, Fourth Brother. I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say."

After such a long time, Yinzhen has also thought it through clearly. There is really no future for him to follow his eighth brother, the fourteenth brother. Although following his fourth brother is very exciting, it seems to be very stable.

He had also made up his mind, and decided to take this opportunity to slowly break away from Eighth Brother's group. Yinzhen also knew in his heart that if he broke away this time, Eighth Brother and Fourteenth Brother would definitely resent him, and it was hard to say whether they could be brothers in the future.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

As a human being, just like his mother said, you have to make yourself happy first.

His mother sometimes privately grumbled, "How could Consort De be so partial? Obviously the eldest son is so outstanding, if he had been well cared for, the three of them wouldn't have gotten into such a mess."

Just like his fifth brother, although he was raised by the Empress Dowager, he was not that unfamiliar with him and his mother. If his fifth brother had not helped him this time, things would have been difficult to say.

His mother also said that the Fourth Prince was more stable than the Eighth Prince. If he couldn't stand on his own and had to follow someone, it would be better for him to follow the Fourth Prince.

Yinzhen thought, his mother had been in the palace for so many years, and she had her own methods and ideas. It was rare for mother and son to reach an agreement, so it should be like this.

Yinzhen smiled slightly: "Okay. Since you said that, just wait for me to arrange it for you."

Whenever Yinzhen saw his fourth brother's smile, he always felt something strange and uneasy.

He had no idea what Fourth Brother had arranged for him ahead.

I don't think it's a good thing...

-

When Yinzhen told Yuyan about this, Yuyan laughed for a long time because of Yin'er's reaction.

Yinzhen looked at her with a smile: "Is it so interesting?"

Yuyan smiled and said, "It's just very interesting."

How interesting!

If Yinzhen knew that in another historical event, he followed his brothers Yinsi and Yinzhi all the way to the end, and that the final result was quite miserable without a good ending, I wonder what he would be thinking and feeling.

But it is certainly many times more exciting than what Yinzhen described now.

What a pity. I can't see it anymore.

In fact, it doesn't matter if she can't see it. Yuyan doesn't want to see that. She would like to see Yinlang following Yinzhen now.

[He knows that I am different from others. I don’t really want to explain this to him. Those records have nothing to do with him. That is a path he has not yet walked, and the changes he has made now also prove that he will not walk that path again.]

[This is exactly the change I was looking forward to. So I felt that if I didn’t say it, it would be nothing. Nowadays, Buddhists are studying past wisdom, and prophecies were popular in the past. If I tell it, it will probably be considered like this. In fact, it is not. It is clear that I can only see that period of history, and there is no other supernatural.]

Yuyan thought, there is nothing outstanding about me.

Yinzhen stared at his Fu Jin in a trance, thinking that if he couldn't hear Yu Yan's inner voice, if he had encountered these things and heard her words, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.

Now it was just like what Yuyan said, if he didn't say it, it would be nothing. He could actually wait, wait for the day when Yuyan was willing to explain it clearly.

It's not difficult to wait for her to be willing, and what's wrong with waiting for her to open her heart?

Yuyan always has such a simple and genuine cuteness, how could she think that there is nothing outstanding about herself?

In his eyes, she was clearly the best and most special.

She wants a pure love and marriage relationship without any impurities. Yinzhen is working towards that goal. If she gets his approval one day, will she be able to win her heart?

The two of them were lost in thought, thinking about things related to love.

Yuyan spoke first, but she was still talking about Yinzhen's affairs.

Yuyan asked, "If Lord Beile arranges this directly, I'm afraid many people will hate the Ninth Prince."

Normally, Yinzhen would not be so inconsiderate to his own people.

At this point, we should be able to conclude that Yinzhen has become Yinzhen's man, right?

You can't just accept a 'little brother' and then let him be in a bad situation.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Of course I won't arrange it directly. I will take Lao Jiu with me to continue to pursue the loss of Lianghuai Salt Administration. If I ask him to go directly, he will definitely be hated by many people."

"The Eighth and Fourteenth went to guard the mausoleum, so he was left in the capital. I worked secretly to prevent him from becoming my man in public, so naturally someone wanted to get rid of him and prevent him from causing trouble in the capital. The Crown Prince also wanted to teach him a lesson. The Crown Prince also wanted to teach me a lesson, so the two of them made a move and sent us together to Jiangnan. The Crown Prince wanted us to fight among ourselves."

In fact, it fulfilled Yinzhen's wish.

Yinzhen did not bring Yinxiang with him this time because Yinxiang was still young and might not be able to handle such a big event if he went to Suzhou. Yinxiang still needed experience.

On the other hand, Yinzhen has been immersed in the business world in recent years and has the status of a prince. He can act without restraint. He is also older and will not be fooled. He also has a lot of information and intelligence. If Yinzhen is taken with him to pursue the losses, the subsequent tasks will be completed more smoothly.

Yuyan was naturally not worried about Yinzhen's plan, except for one.

She asked: "Will the emperor order Prince Beile to go to Jiangnan to pursue the debt?"

Yuyan was very suspicious of this. She always felt that Kangxi would not let it go.

Yinzhen smiled slightly: "I will ask the emperor to issue an order."

Yuyan did not doubt Yinzhen's ability, but she secretly thought in her heart, if I really let you go to Jiangnan again to collect the losses, even if you go on a business trip, will you still take me with you?
