Chapter 42
Yinzuo also said to Kangxi in advance: "It's not my son who said it. It's written in the medical books. They are all very capable people." Yinzuo instructed the eunuch who was helping him hold the medical books to help him put the medical books on his royal father's desk, and he himself walked forward holding a few books.
At Kangxi's nod, the eunuch put the book over.
Yinzuo opened the book for Kangxi, pointed to the circled area, and said to Kangxi: "Look, it's all explained here."
In fact, Kangxi had heard about Yinzuo's troubles in the past few days, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him. Now that the trouble has finally come to him, Kangxi glanced at it and flipped through it in his hands, but said to Yinzuo: "Then tell me what this paragraph says?"
Yinzuo: "... people... morning..."
Yinzuo stuttered, and Kangxi sneered: "You just want to be lazy, and you won't be able to read smoothly in the future."
Yinzuo pouted: "Father, please don't bully me. I will study for a long time and know more words. I will definitely be able to do it."
"Father Emperor, please take a look first. What they say is so true."
"The ancients said, 'Don't get up early before the cockcrow, and don't get up late after the sun rises.' We must listen to this. Getting up early is bad for the lungs, and my son's lungs are still growing."
Kangxi: "Aren't you talking about growing taller now?"
Yinzuo: “It’s also long.”
Yinzuo even walked around behind Kangxi and said, "Father, let me give you a shoulder massage. Please take a good look at me."
"Son, you're not greedy. How about we go half an hour later?"
Kangxi relaxed and leaned back, giving Yinzuo the opportunity to flatter him, although the little paw on his shoulder didn't do a very good job.
Moreover, when Yinzuo was talking incessantly, racking his brains to talk about those things like yang energy and dampness, he did not interrupt him. He just let him try hard to think about the contents of the medical book, while he continued to flip through the book in his hand.
Yinzuo felt that what he said made sense. If it were him, he would have to be convinced by himself now. He would not need to wait for half an hour and could just wave his hand and do it in an hour.
Yinzuo looked at his royal father expectantly, hoping to see his royal father's dominance and heroism.
But his father was not arrogant in this regard. When Yinzuo stopped talking and asked his father if his son's words made sense, Kangxi did not say anything. Yinzuo was delighted. Didn't keeping silent mean that he agreed?
Yinzuo said happily: "Then can we arrive at the study room half an hour later in the evening? Or maybe an hour later?" Yinzuo's voice rose with excitement.
Kangxi: “No.”
Yinzuo's joy faded a little: "Is it not possible for half an hour? Or is it not possible for an hour?"
Kangxi was unmoved and said, "Neither of them is allowed."
How could Yinzuo easily change the rules that had been in place in the Shangshufang for many years?
Yinzuo: "Why not? Father Huang, you have to be reasonable."
Yinzuo stopped pinching his shoulders and turned around hastily, puffing up his cheeks. Kangxi pinched Yinzuo's puffy cheeks and said, "None of your brothers are as noisy as you. I think you haven't done enough homework."
"The medical books also say that you shouldn't eat too much sugar, why don't you listen?"
Yinzuo was irritated by his father: "Father, you can't do this. You are being unreasonable!"
Kangxi stared! Then he pressed his finger on his forehead. Yinzuo groaned, thought about it, and pushed the medical book in front of Kangxi: "Father, please take another look. Take another look."
But even if Kangxi read it again, he was not going to relax the time in the study room. He even pointed at the circles and dots on the book, stared at Yinzuo and said: "Not only did you make trouble yourself, but you also instigated your brothers. You are quite capable."
All of his other sons tried their best to perform well in front of him, and Kangxi had never heard any of them question the rules of the study. But now, were they instigated by this kid to rebel against him?
Would he be pleased with the unity and love between the brothers? Kangxi, who advocated brotherly love and respect, had no such idea at this time.
Kangxi said coldly: "I think your brothers are also busy with their studies and have time to accompany you to do these things."
Yinzuo quickly grabbed Kangxi's hand, stopping Kangxi from saying the next thing, and said: "No, Royal Father, it has nothing to do with my brothers. My brothers were just helping Yinzuo look at medical books, and it has nothing to do with anything else."
Kangxi just snorted and did not comment.
Yinzuo opened his little mouth and said to Kangxi: "Father, you have to be reasonable. You didn't say anything to me just now. You can't punish people without reason."
The naive Yinzuo soon heard his father say something even more unreasonable: "What if I want to punish you?"
Yinzuo opened his eyes wide: "...Father, you can't do this."
Kangxi: "I can."
Yinzuo: “…”
His father is such a domineering person.
Yinzuo was silent for a while, then raised his little hand to massage his father's shoulders, and said carefully: "Then father, please only punish Yinzuo, it has nothing to do with my brothers."
He said he won against his father, but his father didn't respond and wanted to punish him. Yinzuo was dejected. It would have been fine if he just punished himself, but he also wanted to implicate his brothers. How could his father do this? !
Yinzuo wanted to make amends, so he brought tea and fed it to his royal father.
Yinzuo looked at him with a small look in his eyes: "Father Emperor?"
Kangxi only hummed, and then said: "Aren't we going to talk about one thing at a time? What about the next thing? Continue."
Yinzuo lost his motivation. He curled his lips and said, "But the Emperor won't listen to what his son says. His son doesn't want to talk anymore."
Kangxi glanced at the dejected child and said calmly, "Give up so easily?"
Yinzuo thought that was right. He had made all the preparations and should finish what he had started. So he gathered his energy and said to his father, "Okay, then I will talk to you about the break."
"Father, let me tell you, not only do the sons need a break between classes, but you, too, have to stand up and walk around and rest after reviewing memorials for a long time."
"It's said in medical books that if you sit for a long time, your blood circulation will be blocked and you will get hemorrhoids, which will cause you to have hemorrhoids."
There are many disadvantages, but the person with hemorrhoids made the most profound impression on Yinzuo. He remembered it firmly and explained to Kangxi: "Hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids on the buttocks. They will itch and hurt, and bleed when going to the toilet."
Yinzuo explained to Kangxi, baring his white teeth and breathing in cold air. He was very afraid of the so-called bleeding, and touched his butt with one hand, as if he was afraid that he would get the so-called hemorrhoids in the future.
Not only that, he also looked at Kangxi's buttocks with concern, and said to his son: "The emperor's buttocks..."
Not only Yinzuo gasped, but all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace also gasped.
A pair of big hands tightly covered the boy's mouth.
"shut up!"
Kangxi was so mad at this kid!
Why did he suddenly get so angry? With his mouth covered, Yinzuo looked at his father with a pair of big black eyes, with a question mark on his forehead.
At this moment, the only sound in the whole hall was Kangxi's heavy breathing due to anger. The other eunuchs and palace maids all wished there was a hole in the ground to hide in. Even Liang Jiugong was sweating. This Sixth Prince had always done amazing things and said amazing things since he was a child, but until now he could break through to another level!
After a while, Kangxi finally calmed down. No, he was not completely calm. He put his hand down, squinted his eyes and looked at Yinzuo, pointing to a distance one step away, and said to Yinzuo: "There, stand still."
Feeling the low pressure around him, Yinzuo uttered a low "oh", took two steps back and stood obediently.
Yinzuo looked at his royal father carefully, but still didn't understand why his royal father suddenly became angry.
His royal father is not only unreasonable, but also overbearing and moody. His royal father has so many faults, but, alas, he can't be replaced. Yinzuo thought so tolerantly.
But at this moment, Kangxi no longer had the tolerance in his heart.
"Stretch out your hand!" Kangxi's voice was extremely calm, and there was no sign of anger in his voice. Yinzuo stretched out his hand without any preparation. Seeing his father's eyes scanning the imperial desk, he thought his father was going to give him something.
Kangxi glanced around and picked up a rosewood ruler.
Then he said to Yinzuo, "Not the right hand, the left hand."
"Oh." Yinzuo didn't understand, but still changed to his left hand.
When the rosewood ruler was lifted up, Yinzuo didn't know what his royal father was going to do. Then the next moment, the ruler fell into the palm of Yinzuo's hand. Yinzuo cried out and wanted to retract his hand, but his little hand had been grabbed by someone.
Yinzuo's palms were red, and his eyes were red as well. He felt wronged and confused: "Father Emperor?"
Then another foot fell into his hand.
Yinzuo finally understood now that he was being beaten!
His palm hurt, and it was also scary that his royal father was holding his hand tightly. The rosewood ruler looked very scary in Yinzuo's eyes.
After being hit twice, Yinzuo finally burst into tears, and tears flowed like a floodgate.
Children cannot hold back their crying like adults. The Sixth Prince's crying shook the whole hall. Liang Jiugong thought that it was quite a feat for the Sixth Prince to have not been beaten until today.
The prince knew that Yinzuo had gone to see Kangxi. After reading many medical books, he actually felt that Yinzuo's request was not entirely unreasonable. He thought that when Yinzuo talked to Kangxi about this matter, he might be able to help mediate.
Thinking of this, after Yinzuo went to the Qianqing Palace, the prince also went to the Qianqing Palace.
But the prince arrived too late. As soon as he approached, he heard loud crying. The prince frowned and quickened his pace.
What the prince saw when he entered was Yinzuo stretching out his little hand, while his royal father held the rosewood ruler high in his hand. Yinzuo was such a small child crying with tears and snot, but his royal father had a calm expression and a heart of stone.
The prince never expected to see his royal father beating his son.
The prince was surprised and said, "Father!"
The arrival of the prince finally stopped Kangxi from hitting Yinzuo's hand. Kangxi let go of Yinzuo's hand and sat back down.
Yinzuo's crying did not stop. His eyes were blurred by his tears, but he knew that his brother, the Crown Prince, had come. He cried and sobbed, "Crown Prince."
Yinzuo cried with a strong nasal sound, his little body twitching, looking so pitiful. He ran to his brother the Crown Prince. The arrival of his brother the Crown Prince made him feel like he had found a supporter.
Yinzuo complained to the prince: "Your Majesty, hit me, hit Yinzuo." He twitched again while complaining. His eyes and face were wet. He suffered a great injustice, but he still stretched out his little hand to show the prince.
The white palm of the hand was red and swollen. The prince frowned fiercely and did not dare to touch it. He looked at Kangxi disapprovingly and could not help but said, "Father, my sixth brother is still young."
Kangxi said: "I know he is still young. If he were older, would I be able to forgive him by just beating him a few feet?"
The prince knew what Yinzuo came here for today, but even if the plan failed, why did he start a fight?
The prince looked at Yinzuo's red and swollen hands and felt distressed. "Sixth brother is a little naughty, but the emperor shouldn't beat him. Just teach him. Sixth brother is quite sensible."
Liang Jiugong thought that he deserved the beating and it was a good beating. That was because you, Prince, were not here just now. If you were here, you would not have begged for mercy at this time.
Yinzuo was still aggrieved and said to the prince: "Yinzuo did nothing wrong. Yinzuo doesn't even know why the emperor beat him."
Yinzuo thought for a moment and said, "Yinzuo is just concerned about the emperor's father not sitting for too long, and is worried about the emperor's fart..."
"Yinzuo!" This was Kangxi's angry voice.
Kangxi interrupted Yinzuo and said, "I think I am too kind to you. Isn't it common for teachers to hit students' palms in other schools? It is also natural for a father to hit his son, right? How can I not hit him?"
Yinzuo was still crying: "The Emperor is unreasonable."
Kangxi: "Well, I am just being unreasonable."
Yinzuo cried and hiccuped, not knowing what to do with his unreasonable father. Feeling aggrieved, he threw himself into the arms of his brother, the crown prince, and burst into tears again, even louder than before.
Kangxi was so angry that he walked back and forth, pointing at Yinzuo and saying, "Look at how he is crying now, and you still say he is sensible. When you were his age, which one of you cried like this with me?"
"Wow..." The sound became louder and louder, piercing people's ears and hurting them.
The prince patted Yinzuo on the back and said to Kangxi, "Father, please stop talking." Seeing Kangxi glaring at him, the prince changed his tone and said, "Father, please calm down. My sixth brother is still young. Please don't argue with him."
Liang Jiugong stood in the Qianqing Palace and felt a sense of chaos as he watched the scene in front of him.
It’s fresh enough too.
