Chapter 401

On the day Yinzhen ascended the throne, the weather was fine but very cold, and the sunlight was bright and almost transparent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

This reminded him of the first day he went to Jianglin, and it was also such weather, he was very worried that he was taken by a little girl and went to the first post. The head of department gave him a brief introduction and assigned him a place.

It was a lattice room, and there were half-person-high baffles on the front and back, left and right, but when Yinzhen sat down with something, the back of the baffle poked his head out.

"Hey, is it close?"

Yin Zhen didn't come back to his senses for a while: "What? ”

"Let's go have a barbecue after work!"

It was more than ten years ago, and Yin Zhen didn't even remember the names of most of the people in that department, because he hadn't been there for long at all.

But the chirping atmosphere impressed him deeply, including the barbecue restaurant after work, he still remembers, that shop is called "Zhenhua Barbecue", just near the house on Zhongshan Road that Yinxiang bought, the mom-and-pop shop laid off from the cotton mill, the dirty store has only three tables, but the meat skewers are grilled very well, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, plus two bottles of cold beer, which makes people drool when they think about it. Later, Yinzhen pulled Yinxiang away again, causing Yinxiang to laugh at him, and he was so obsessed with a small broken barbecue restaurant.

But for some reason, the time the brothers went alone, the taste of the meat skewers was far worse than the first time, and even made Yinzhen wonder if he had made a mistake in the store.

So after that, Yinzhen never ate such a delicious kebab again.

…… In the future, there will be no one who enthusiastically pulls him to "go to eat barbecue after work".

The steps to ascend the throne are very complicated, and changing the dress early in the morning can be a hassle. Li Dequan took the eunuch and palace maid to change Yinzhen's clothes, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad and a little worried.

The emperor was silent this morning, his face sank like water, was he mourning the first emperor, or was he dissatisfied with something? He has long been mentally prepared, this Prince Yong and the old emperor are not the same thing, they all say that he is mean and cold, his temper is not very good, he is moody, and he can kill people if he doesn't serve him well.

After thinking about it, Li Dequan had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Your Majesty...... What else is commanded? ”

Yin Zhen raised his head, that look seemed to have woken up from a dream, and he sighed softly: "I really want to eat kebabs." ”

Li Dequan had no reason, and his heart sank!

This is the future Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty, and he is about to ascend the throne in one hour, and he only thinks about eating in his heart!

Emperor Xian, is it really okay for you to hand over the world to such a foodie?

During the entire process of ascending the throne, Yinzhen's expression was numb, and he didn't need to do anything, there were eunuchs who announced the decree, and ministers who recited various recitations, everything was in order. At the end of the day, he just needs to make a summary.

He didn't listen to a word of all kinds of praise articles, and Yinzhen thought to himself, if I tell the words that Huang Ama said on his deathbed......

Probably no history book will mention this incident, Kangxi's last word before his death turned out to be "republic" - this kind of thing, even if it is written into a fantasy novel, no one will believe it, right?

Of course, Kangxi can't understand what a republic is, he is just unwilling to rush into the cliff like a broken car out of control, but the deceased has passed away, and no matter how unwilling he is, he can only go with the wind.

So Yinzhen was like a puppet, sitting on the high throne, looking at the crowd of black pressure below, and farther away, who were not qualified to enter the inner hall, and the dense little ants kneeling outside.

There was no joy in his heart, much less an inflated ambition.

In Yinzhen's heart, there is only endless sorrow and despair.

In the past ten years, he has used his willpower to support himself over and over again, so that he will not collapse easily. He always said to himself, wait, don't seek death easily, maybe tomorrow, tomorrow they will be able to come back.

After many times, Yinzhen felt like Hao Sijia on his body, reciting in his heart every day: Tomorrow is a new day.

Yinzhen struggled to think of the great explorers in human history, the miraculous fellows who endured unbearable suffering, such as David Brian, or the adventurer Henry Stanley, who identified the source of the Nile and Congo rivers - since Stanley was able to cross the dark African continent through countless deaths, then he was also able to cultivate this kind of perseverance.

But it wasn't until today that Yinzhen suddenly realized that he was wrong.

No matter how long he trudged through the gloomy jungles of Africa, Stanley would eventually return to the Europe he knew. People have a place to be.

…… And Yinzhen has no such place.

Sitting on the throne, he couldn't help but think of the scene many years ago, when he drove eighty dead people to save Lao Lu, and the complex feelings of despair and sadness, full of fear and desperate encouragement to strengthen his courage, surfaced in his heart again.

…… There will be no more hope, he thought.

Intense sorrow was like an infinite tide, and with the unebbing chanting of praise from the ministers, it slowly surged towards him, and finally swallowed him up little by little.

The early morning sun shone on Brother Jiu's face, and he waited for a while before slowly opening his eyes.

That's right, he was lying on his own bed, it was his own room, the things and ornaments had not changed, everything was the way it was the day he left.

After a decade, he came back.

This is the Qing Dynasty, not the end of the 21st century, but the beginning of the 18th century.

Brother Jiu took a deep breath, he sat up and rubbed his forehead.

He remembered that AndrΓ© had found him alone as he was leaving, avoiding what Julia had said to him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Most likely, none of them remember. Andrei said at the time, "I have observed, all the fluctuations are gone, there is not even the slightest attempt to break through." Ninth Master, this is very bad, much worse than I expected. ”

Brother Jiu looked at him in horror at the time: "What does this mean?" ”

"There is no fluctuation, it means that there is no struggle and resistance, and it is the initiative to maintain history, according to the character of the fourth master and the eighth master, this is unlikely, this result can only mean that everyone who stayed in the Qing Dynasty was all brainwashed."

Brother Jiu's heart seemed to have fallen into ice water, which was the result he was most afraid of hearing.

Andre's face seemed unbearable, but he still said: "I don't dare to say this to Julia, I'm afraid...... It hit her too hard. ”

Brother Jiu understands that if Julia knows that Yinzhen has been completely brainwashed, she won't know her at all, and she has insisted on enduring it for so many years, it will all be in vain.

And what about Sjepan? Brother Jiu suddenly thought, has he forgotten himself too?

The detoxification drug was finally synthesized in their third year. However, breaking through the blockade took them ten years.

It was also because they firmly believed that the two elder brothers were still waiting for them over there, so the ninth elder brother gritted his teeth and persevered until now, but they didn't expect to hear the worst news from Andre here before leaving.

Immediately, Andre added: "But this is just my inference from the monitoring results, after all, my watch is still with your fourth brother, maybe he didn't do any struggle out of some considerations...... Anyway, Ninth Master, you and Tenth Elder Brother will take Julia over to explore the situation first. If you really can't ......"

He looked embarrassed and didn't say any more, but Brother Jiu understood what he meant.

If, after the past, he finds that all the staff have been brainwashed, and there is no hope of saving, he can only return to the modern era with Julia, then they may really have to say goodbye to the Qing Dynasty forever.

On the way out, the ninth elder brother pondered for a long time, and still told the tenth elder brother Andre's words. Julia remained silent, and she probably expected this possibility.

Brother Ten refused to give up.

"Even if they're brainwashed, you can't leave them there! If you really can't do it, kidnap the fourth brother and the starling brother! ”

"Nope." Brother Jiu's tone was very tired, "I've already brainwashed once, their cognition is very fragile in this situation, and forcibly bringing the Qing Dynasty will only cause cognitive confusion - both of them will suffer from mental illness at that time, especially Starling, who has suffered from depression before, and can't stand the second time, do you want to kill them?" ”

The tenth elder brother was very sad, but he didn't say anything, he knew that his brother was right, in the past ten years, the ninth elder brother has always followed Andre's side, and has been working in the core area of the research institute, he knows the importance more than the tenth elder brother on the periphery.

Their landing place was set in the Ninth Elder Brother's own mansion, so not long after they arrived, the Ninth Elder Brother and they immediately discovered that everyone's memories had indeed disappeared. The tenth elder brother suddenly panicked: "Ninth brother! What to do! ”

Brother Jiu shushed at him, because he had already seen that in the distance, his wife was walking towards him.

Jiufujin walked to the door of the study, and when he saw the tenth elder brother, he smiled and said, "The tenth brother is here?" Why didn't I even hear a sound? Lao Wu was too lazy, so he was still sitting there drinking tea-"

She stopped suddenly, because she saw Julia behind Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu tried to calm down his inner turmoil, and only said lightly that Julia was asked by someone else to take care of him, "If you want to live with us in the past few days, you can just clean up the courtyard and come out." ”

Although Jiufujin was suspicious, he didn't ask much.

When she left, Julia sighed softly, "Scarlett is still beautiful. ”

Brother Jiu didn't say anything.

There are already traces of time on the wife's face, and the woman of the Qing Dynasty has no beauty salon to help, dragging the time to prevent it from leaving. But compared to the servant woman who works all day long, Jiufujin is already very young.

Brother Nine suddenly didn't dare to look back at Julia.

The tenth elder brother couldn't stay at the ninth elder brother's house for a long time, so he hurriedly said goodbye and returned to his county king's mansion first. After settling down Julia, the ninth elder brother comforted her and said that he would enter the palace with the tenth elder brother in the past few days, "Let's take a look at the fourth brother and their situation first." ”

It just so happened that the eighth elder brother was not in the capital during that time, and he had no purpose, and he couldn't rush into the palace, so the ninth elder brother could only wait at home.

In addition to his wife, on the night he arrived home, Brother Jiu also saw his son Hongxi.

He has grown up, once a child, and now he has grown into a seventeen-year-old boy. After being separated for so long, seeing the child with his own eyes again, Brother Jiu couldn't help but be excited.

He called Hongyang to the study and asked him many questions, and the boy felt strange, he felt as if his father had suddenly suffered from amnesia, and he could not remember anything big or small, the departure and stay of the servants in the house, the weddings and funerals of relatives and friends, and the schooling of himself and his younger brother...... Except for a rough sketch, his father almost always came to ask him about the details.

But after thinking about it, Honghui kind of understood. Father started to trouble him again.

The father and son have been like this for the past few years, Brother Jiu for some reason, just to see that the eldest son is not pleasing to the eye, and he will be sent to him if he has nothing to do, not for his homework, but for his friendship, and he thinks that he has made friends with those people in the rivers and lakes with loose personalities, which will not help him in the future. Either he counted down the last time he saw a certain elder, and he answered too slowly, and he seemed dull and stupid.

My father's mantra was, "Look at that little thing in Hongli!" Look at yourself again! You're a pig, what's going on with your brain! ”

For Hongyang, it seems that since he can remember, his father has not had a good face for himself, and he either beats or scolds him all day long, and he uses himself as a punching bag. My father was no better for himself, for his mother, for his aunts, and for his younger brothers. Sometimes Honghui sneered in his heart, the so-called father is such a stinky virtue, what's so great about being a father? As soon as you have a child, you can be high and powerful? Grandpa passed away, and his father didn't fight for the throne, so it doesn't matter! Behind closed doors at home, you can still be a small banzai.

But Hongyan felt puzzled again, because he vaguely remembered that in the early years, there was a time when his father was not like this, and during that time, his father seemed to have a change in personality, he was very patient with his children, very enthusiastic about his friends, and had a good relationship with his brothers, and even chatted with the four elder brothers of his rivalry - unlike now, when Cheng Tian conspired with the tenth elder brother, when the old emperor was there, he desperately wanted to put his own people on the throne, the old emperor was gone, and he desperately chewed the bad words of the new emperor, after all, the complaints of the frustrated can never be finished.

However, no matter how Honghui retrieved his memory, he just couldn't remember when the "good father" appeared, and sometimes when he thought too much, Honghui would laugh at himself, he suspected that it was just his hallucination, and his father had always been this hateful appearance.

He is just dissatisfied with reality, so he fantasizes about a father who loves him and cares about him.

However, this illusion is also unnecessary, after all, he is already seventeen years old, and after marrying in two years, he can leave the Ninth Elder Brother and set up his own door.

Therefore, tonight's sudden inquiry is probably also a boredom under boredom.

Thinking of this, Hongyang's expression also became cold, although he was still respectful, but he was more respectful than affectionate, like a subordinate who coped with the boss's inquiry.

After Brother Jiu asked a few things, he quickly noticed his son's cold attitude, he was a little strange and felt sad.

"Honghui, what's wrong with you?" He asked softly, "Is it the last time...... What upset you? ”

This tone was extremely unfamiliar to Hongyang, and he couldn't help but look up and glance at his father.

Immediately, however, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Brother Jiu understood, and he nodded: "Just now your aunt came over and told me about your family matter, but I don't think I'm too busy mentioning it." ”

This made Hongyang surprised, the other party was the minister Sheng An, Brother Jiu was very enthusiastic about this family business, and he still had a fixed tone two days ago, why did he become "not busy mentioning it" now?

Seeing that his son was surprised, Brother Jiu eased his tone again, and said with a pleasant face: "After all, it is a lifelong event, and you are only seventeen years old, you are still too young, and you are still ...... high school Ahem. ”

Brother Jiu suddenly stopped the topic, he wanted to say that this was the age when he hadn't even finished high school, but he quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

After a pause, he said again: "Besides, the daughter of the Sheng'an family, you haven't seen it, and you don't know if it's good or not, whether you like it or not, in case it doesn't like it, you don't feel anything about others, and it will be difficult for the two of you to live together in the future." ”

Honghui was greatly surprised!

Is this still his father? Is this still his father, who has never been quiet? How did it suddenly become ...... So gentle!

But soon, Honghui suddenly thought that this was probably a strategy to lure the enemy deeper!

The old thing deliberately fished with a pleasant face to let himself be baited! And then a fierce fire waits...... It's not like he's never tried this before.

Thinking of this, Hongxi's face became more and more cold.

He lowered his head and said in a more indifferent tone: "The son's lifelong events, of course, are determined by Amma, Ama says it's good, Ama says it's bad, and his son won't have half a word." ”

This answer made Brother Jiu more and more sad, and he could hear that his son had great resistance to him.

Over the years, how has the dungeon treated Honghui!

Brother Jiu stabilized his excited emotions, he endured it again, and then said, "Hongxi, all these years, Amma...... What the hell did it do to you? ”

Brother Jiu asked this, it was just a question sentence, and when he heard Hongyan, the semantics changed, and he immediately realized that his father was accusing him of being unfilial.

Honghui hurriedly knelt down with a puff: "My son was wrong, and he made Ama angry......

Brother Jiu was startled, and he hurriedly grabbed his son's arm: "Why do you want to kneel down!" Okay, what are you doing on your knees? ”

Honghui raised his face and looked at him: "Isn't Amma blaming his son?" ”

Brother Jiu was so anxious: "Who said I blamed you!" I'm just asking you! Hongxi, Ama has been in the past few years, isn't it ...... Hit you? ”

Honghui looked at him blankly!

"Where's the beating on you?! How did you fight? When was the fight? ”

After a long time, Honghui whispered: "Ama has forgotten? ”

Brother Jiu didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Hongyu got up, he slowly took off his clothes, and showed his back to Brother Jiu.

In the dim candlelight, Brother Jiu saw that his son's back was full of scattered whip marks, although the scars were old, but they were deep and terrifying.

"When was it?!" He gritted his teeth and almost cried, "When did you hit you?" ”

Honghui took the clothes and put them on slowly, he lowered his head and said, "My son doesn't remember either." ”

The young man put on his clothes, he raised his head, and the indifference that did not match his age appeared on his face again: "I have beaten all the fights, does Ama regret it?" ”

For a while, Brother Jiu's heart ached even more, and he couldn't help but tremble and said, "Hongyang, it's me!" Have you really forgotten? (To be continued.) )
