After getting used to it, the elder brothers turned a deaf ear to the heaven-like content discussed by Julia and Andre. They knew they couldn't figure it out, after all, the two had the same life background, and it was as if Julia couldn't even pick up the simplest sentences in Kindergarten, and they couldn't say she was a fool.

In this regard, Yinxiang's opinion is that the ruler is short and the inch is long. Brother Jiu's opinion is that if you break those useless ones, can you exchange them for a cabbage? Brother Shi's opinion is that it is interesting to listen to it occasionally, but not to listen to it too much, because if you listen to it too much, your head hurts and you have nightmares.

Only Yinzhen, his reaction is different from the rest of the people, whether he understands it or not, he has to listen, even if he doesn't understand, he will ask, although usually his inquiry will cause more doubts, like pulling a small handkerchief from the crack in the door, and finally pulling out a large bag of parachutes.

“…… That is to say, the planet we are on is actually very small, you see, Ah Zhen, you can be regarded as ruling a fairly large country, the land area of the Qing Dynasty is beyond the reach of future generations, but this country is only a small piece of this planet. And this planet is indescribably small compared to the bigger stars. ”

"For example?"

"For example," Julia thought for a moment, "if Beihe III, also known as β star in the constellation Gemini, is the size of a walnut, then our Earth is only one pixel in size. ”

"What does you mean by a pixel?"

"A pixel is a primitive point of imaging. To put it more colloquially, if Beihe San is a house. Then our earth is just a sesame seed. And that's just for a red giant. How many red giants there are in the universe, countless. And if you think the stars seem small, it's because they're too far away. ”

At this moment, Yinxiang was lying on the sofa, already snoring slightly. Yin Zhen was still thinking hard about Julia's words, and it was obvious that he was not too good at imagining such a scene.

It was raining heavily today, so I couldn't go out hunting or work in the fields. The rest of the elder brothers went back to their rooms to rest. Only Julia sat in the living room, mending the curtains and chatting with Andre, of course. There is always an auditor. Yinzhen.

Andrei making a pickled cucumber. There was a strange smell in the room, and he said that he did not have enough materials in his hand and did not know if he could make it. Fortunately, there are a lot of cucumbers this year, and it is not difficult to take out a few for him to experiment.

"So a lot of things, if you don't think about it, you still feel that there is no problem, and after thinking about it too much, you know far-reaching, but you feel that there are many problems and cannot be explained." Julia said this, put away the needle and thread in her hand, she glanced at Yinzhen, and said with a smile, "Don't think about it, you'll get confused if you think too much - go get the bed blanket and cover Thirteen." ”

Yinzhen came back to his senses, he got up and went upstairs, took a blanket and covered the sleeping Yinxiang on his body.

Andre was cutting cucumbers one by one, and he glanced at the brothers on the sofa: "Fourth master, let the thirteenth master be careful of his knees in the future." ”

"How?"

"That's what he did." Andrei blinked, "Crane knee wind." ”

Julia didn't understand, and asked, "What is crane knee wind?" ”

"I guess it might be bone tuberculosis or something." Andrei squeezed the cucumber in his hand, "It is said that white blisters appear on the knees, and when they burst, they become sores, and they always leak pus. ”

Julia was surprised: "So serious? I thought it was tuberculosis. ”

"How?"

"Didn't you act on TV, the thirteenth master vomited blood in the court......" Julia said this, and suddenly realized that she had talked too much!

Sure enough, Yin Zhen was taken aback: "What did you just say?" What vomits blood? ”

Julia looked at Andre, both of them were very helpless, knowing that they couldn't hide it, Julia had to whisper: "It was filmed on TV, I haven't watched a few episodes, I remember that there is such a scene, it was after you ascended the throne, Thirteen vomited blood in the court, and then ...... soon after"

Yin Zhen looked at the faces of the two, and he understood.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I haven't dared to ask about this, Andre, what happened to him in the thirteenth?" He...... How long did you live? ”

"Prince Yi was born in August of the eighth year of Yongzheng," Andre also lowered his voice, "but before that, he had been sick and had been sick for many years. ”

Yin Zhen lowered his eyes, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "So, Thirteen is gone, I'm still alive?" ”

Andrei nodded: "Not really. You are very sad about this. ”

"Of course I have to be sad, he's still so young......"

Andrei didn't dare to speak.

Yin Zhen lowered his eyes and asked again: "Andre, is the thirteenth family okay after that?" ”

Andrei's attitude became respectful: "Prince Yi's holy family is solemn, and the family left behind is needless to mention, even if he fell out of favor in the middle of Qianlong, there has not been a bad upheaval." ”

Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Andre: "Why did Qianlong fall out of favor in the middle of the period?" ”

"The tree is a big move, the fourth master, you are too fond of the thirteenth master, and when the new monarch establishes a firm foothold and uproots the old wingmen of Yongzheng Nian, Prince Yi and his party will naturally bear the brunt. Don't you hear that once the son of heaven was a courtier? You won't fail to understand that. ”

When Julia saw Yinzhen frowning, she hurriedly waved her hand at Andre: "You person, what's the matter?" Why do you provoke the relationship between the two of them? Before his son was born, he was rejected by his son. ”

When she said this, Andre was still not convinced, and said depressedly: "It's true, I'm not wrong, even the fourth master's edict to mourn the thirteenth master, he has deleted and changed a lot, such as 'But Prince Yi's pain is out of my deepest feelings, and there is really something I can't help myself' This sentence ......"

Julia was so angry that she wanted to hit him: "How to speak! People are still alive, what eulogy are you carrying here! ”

The two of them were arguing here, and Yinxiang, who was asleep, was woken up, he rubbed his eyes, yawned and sat up: "What are you discussing again?" Still talking about the stars? ”

As soon as they saw him wake up, the two quickly stopped talking. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Yinxiang looked at Yinzhen next to him and said confusedly: "What's wrong?" ”

Yinzhen came back to his senses. He smiled reluctantly: "I was talking to Andre about you just now, cough, I asked a little about the future." ”

Yinxiang laughed, he turned his head to look at Andre: "Later, I really became a prince?" ”

Andre hurriedly nodded: "Prince Heshuoyi." Long live the word "Yong Yong Yiyi" meaning. Moreover, the thirteenth master is also the only prince who was asked by the fourth master to keep the Yinzi, and he is one of the four prime ministers. ”

As soon as Yinxiang sat up, the blanket on his lap slipped to the ground. Yin Zhen picked up the blanket and put it on his lap again.

"Fourth brother, I'm not cold." He wanted to take the blanket away, but was held down by Yinzhen.

"Cover it even if it's not cold. In the future. Pay attention to your knees. Stop being cold. ”

Yinxiang didn't notice Yinzhen's expression, and he asked excitedly: "Andre, it is my fourth brother's intention to make me the prime minister and the prince." Or is it the order left by the emperor? ”

Andre smiled hard: "It's what the fourth master meant." These. It's all after the death of Emperor Kangxi. ”

Yin Xiang was thoughtful, he nodded: "Then, more than ten years before Huang Ama died. I've always been by my fourth brother's side? ”

As soon as he said this, Andrei's expression became a little strange, and he coughed: "Uh, this ......"

Yinxiang saw that his face was weird, so he asked curiously, "What are you doing?" Isn't it? ”

"Actually, from the forty-ninth year of Kangxi to the sixty-first year of Kangxi, you basically disappeared in the middle."

"What does that mean?" The brothers spoke in unison.

Andre seemed to be embarrassed, he put down the cucumber in his hand: "That is to say, the thirteenth master was snubbed by Emperor Kangxi for ten years, so he ......"

Julia's mind flashed, and she blurted out, "Is it captivity?" ”

When her words came out, Yinzhen and Yinxiang's faces changed!

Julia panicked, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I—I don't know too much!" I watched it on TV, that ...... I knew it was being confined, and I didn't know what it meant to be confined, it seemed that not going out in the house was not the same thing as going to jail! Right, Andrey? ”

Andre nodded helplessly: "Although I said that, in fact, it is not much different from going to prison." ”

"I've been in captivity for ten years?!" Yinxiang's face turned pale with shock, "Why?!" ”

"That is to say, I don't know why," Andre said bitterly, "In fact, the captivity is also made up by later generations, and there is no clear record, but even if you are not imprisoned, I am afraid that your ten years of life will not be good, if you have a prosperous life and a lot of medals, future generations will not be able to make up this kind of experience for you, right." ”

"Why!" Yinxiang asked in a loud voice, "Why did Huang Ama want to trap me?!" What the hell did I do to off his old man! ”

Yin Zhen was also confused, he chased after Andre and asked, "Is there no clue at all?" What the hell is going on? ”

Andre shook his head: "I really don't know, Fourth Master, I've been looking for historical materials for so many years, and I've turned everything I can over, and now I can only say that the things in hand are not complete-"

"What do you mean?"

Andre hesitated for a long time before he said worriedly: "First, Kangxi Ye seems to have given a jaw order to this, and no one knows the reason, and he doesn't dare to mention it." Secondly...... Fourth master, you yourself, it seems, are also deleting and modifying some things. ”

The eyes of the rest of the people turned to Yinzhen!

"I'm changing something?" Yin Zhen was confused by him, "What am I changing?" ”

"Whatever you do, I suspect your daily records may have been touched." Andre said, "Lord Qianlong must have made changes, as I said just now, he even dared to change what you left behind, and it is impossible for you to leave it completely untouched, but what exactly was deleted, changed, or no one is allowed to write it down at all - I don't know, maybe no one really knows." ”

Julia was puzzled, "Andre, is this kind of thing possible?" The emperor can decide for himself what to keep and what not to keep the historical materials......"

"All I can say is that from the perspective of human nature, it is not impossible." Andrei said very cautiously, "The Qing Dynasty was a highly centralized feudal autocracy, and the power of the emperor had surpassed that of any previous dynasty. Before the Qing Dynasty, putting aside those extreme examples, when the imperial system was sound, the emperor was only the chief executive of the hundred officials, not some special unrestrained existence. The Qing Dynasty was different, the position of emperor was higher than ever, and there was no one or any institution to check and balance him. Especially when encountering an emperor with superior ability like Ah Zhen, the situation is even more serious - it's very simple. What would you do if you had changed and had so much power? Is it true that there are some things that you can't see and don't want to be known, and you will write them down like taking a photograph? Even if you have to write it down, you're afraid you'll choose another way of saying it, and even if you change just a few words, the truth may be distorted. When people live in the world, there is always a little bit of privacy that they hope to keep. ”

"So, what is Ah Zhen changing?"

"I just don't know!" Andrei became more and more distressed. He pointed at Yinzhen and said. "So I've always wanted to ask him what the hell has changed. I also want to tell him and Qianlong not to change and stir things up, and not to cause chaos for us who will be scholars in later generations. The result? Now that I really see it, I still can't ask. ”

Julia struggles to sort through her chaotic thoughts. She thought for a moment. Suddenly, he asked, "So." Can you feel the material you have at hand? What exactly are they hiding? ”

Andre still shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think, dear Julia. The situation in the Yongqian period was relatively special, and many ministers were writing memoirs, and all of them put on a "I saw it with my own eyes!" This is the pose of the official history, and their memoirs are not consistent with the official ones, and these memoirs are not consistent with each other. In addition, because of the fear of text prison, he spoke very tactfully, making a look of secrecy, which was even more chaotic. ”

Seeing that the three still didn't understand, he simply said: "It's like a computer system, new data packets are constantly appearing, both official and civilian, and they all claim to patch the system, but the system is paralyzed." ”

Now, Julia finally understood.

Andre continued: "For example, the biggest data packet thrown out by the fourth master himself is "The Mystery of the Great Righteous Jue", that thing is like a Pandora's box, originally he wanted to clear his name, but the more he smeared it, the more black it became, just for this reason, I really don't understand what this person is doing. He shouldn't have written this thing. He doesn't write, people don't know it, and when he writes, the whole world knows about it, tell me to see, he suddenly short-circuited his brain and dug a hole for himself. Fourth master, our own family affairs, let's deal with them quietly, behind people's backs, why can't we do it? You don't have to go to the world to clarify ...... What are you trying to clarify, isn't this sending gossip to people's mouths? ”

Suddenly hearing Andre's blame, Yinzhen himself was dumbfounded: "...... How is this—how is this possible? I'm stupid, I'm stupid! ”

"That's right! But that's what you did. In this way, the contradictory data packets make the system a lot of bugs, making it extremely difficult to obtain the correct data, and the time for normal thinking is used a lot for short circuits, confusion and suspicion. Plus ......"

Andre said this, and looked at Yinzhen cautiously: "In addition, our fourth master is a curtain, rolled up and put down in a flash, there is no fixed formula, yesterday I was so kind to you that I was intimate and considerate, today you are wrong, and you will be in prison." I was just smiling and talking to you, and half an hour later, your head was outside the noon door. As the saying goes, the power of heaven is unpredictable, but this one is too unpredictable. He's like this, it's hard to figure out what he's really thinking, so I personally suspect that either, that's how he is, that is, uh, he likes to make people feel awkward. Or, he's doing strange things behind his back, but he doesn't want to make it public. ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help muttering, "What strange thing am I doing?" ”

Julia sneered, and she pointed at him, "You ask people, and they will ask you!" ”

Yinxiang interrupted her impatiently at this moment: "I'll talk about this later, I want to know, what happened, Huang Ama wants to imprison me?" ”

Yinzhen also asked: "Andre, is there really no clue to be found?" ”

Andre pondered for a moment before he stiffened his head and said, "It is very likely that it is related to the abolition of the prince." I still remember that in June of the 49th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi wrote in Zhu Pi to the third elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother: "Yinxiang is not a diligent and loyal person. ’”

As soon as Andre's words fell, Yinxiang suddenly burst into tears!

Julia was so frightened that she quickly got up to comfort her, and blamed Andre for not covering her mouth and saying so hurtful things at once.

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! Yinxiang hugged Yinzhen, "Why does Huang Ama say this about me!" ”

Yinzhen's face turned blue, he comforted Yinxiang while saying angrily: "Andre! Are you mistaken?! The thirteenth brother has always been deeply liked by Huang Ama, and he has been favored since he was a child, how could he suddenly be reprimanded like this?! ”

"That's it! It is! Julia was also angry, "Look at you! is full of knowledge, but people are sophisticated but bullshit! Can't you just take it a more soothing way! ”

Andrei's face was flushed with anxiety, and he argued: "But, that's what is written in the history books!" This is the original words on the "Outline of the General Chronicles of the Emperor Qing Dynasty", that is Zhu Pi, how can I reconcile? I can't just change the words of the Son of Heaven! ”

Yinxiang howled in Yinzhen's arms, and he cried and said: "Huang Ama also wrote this on the fold to the third brother, and it was still in front of me!" The third brother and the fourteenth brother, they all saw it! How can I raise my head in front of my brothers in the future? Why the hell did Huang Ama say that about me! ”

Yin Zhen couldn't answer for a while, so he had to comfort: "There must be a misunderstanding that made Huang Ama so angry." Since it was a misunderstanding, it must be explained clearly. ”

Julia secretly pinched Andre's arm, she glanced sideways at him, and whispered, "Don't be stunned! Find a way to remedy it! ”

Andre was pinched by her and grinned, and he also wanted to cry: "How can I remedy this?" I really don't know what's going on, okay, don't be too upset, Thirteen Masters, at least when you get to the Yongzheng Dynasty, you'll be in the middle of the day, right? As the saying goes, there is more than enough than the top, you are still much better than the eighth elder brother, right? People often say that when God closes a door, he will open a window, and if you close the door, your fourth brother will help you open the window, and Westerners always say that every dark cloud has a gold edge......"

Julia hated to kick him, "What a mess! Do you comfort others like this? ”

Yinxiang lifted his tearful face from Yinzhen's arms, and he choked up: "So, it's been two years, fourth brother, I ......"

He began to cry again. (To be continued......)
