Kangxi sighed: "Over the years, I didn't know that they were protecting each other, bullying superiors and subordinates, and secretly colluding. It's just that I'm old, and I don't know how many days I have to live. I'm afraid that if I can't finish the work, the people will be gone, and I will leave you with a mess. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Fourth, it seems that Ama still left you a mess now." ”

He couldn't go on anymore and wept silently.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

He didn't notice it for a while, and then said, "Amma, rest assured, my son will one day settle accounts with these people." ”

"That's good, that's good." After Kangxi tempted him to say this, he let go of most of his heart, so as not to be relieved.

He looked at Yinzhen, and felt a lot of guilt in his heart: "The second child is like me, the eighth and thirteenth are like me, I have been with them for a long time better than you, and I care about them far better than you." But in the end, the only one who can count on you is you. ”

It's not that he doesn't love this son, it's just that he has too many sons, and he has too little time, so he can't care about every son equally.

Yin Zhen shook his head: "It's okay, Amma." ”

He has long been accustomed to his father not loving his mother.

He has been coming since he was a child, and he has also wondered what he has done wrong, why he should be so lonely.

But later, he had thirteen younger brothers and Jingshu.

Those young people were not allowed, and looking back, it was nothing more than that.

Kangxi saw that he didn't mind, and admired this son more and more.

He smiled a little: "I knew that you were a good boy, and you were used to valuing love and righteousness, like me and your mother." I reassure you. ”

Thinking of his other sons, he could not help but exhort him earnestly: "After you, be lenient with your brothers." ”

"Okay."

Kangxi thought carefully again: "But if anyone touches your throne, imprison them." Just like I did with the eldest and second. ”

Yin Zhen was silent for a while before he said, "Until the last resort, my son won't be like this." ”

"You're like me." Kangxi sighed.

In the past, he felt that this son was more than stable and old-fashioned, and not clever enough.

Looking at it now, I feel that this son is good everywhere. It's obviously my favorite look.

Kangxi is used to being a person who loves to live and evil wants to die.

Kangxi looked at him appreciatively for a while before continuing to talk to Yinzhen about the court: "Although this is a mess, but fortunately, in this way, they have a lot of handles." If there is a suitable one, you can remove it at any time and put your own people on it. When the time comes, the entire court will be your own people and your friends. ”

Yin Zhenwu remembered that his mother had said something similar many years ago.

Eniang said that he didn't have to form a party and make friends, and after he ascended the throne, his friends were everywhere.

What Eniang said, the score is exactly right.

Perhaps, the person who knows the emperor's father best in this world is Eniang.

Perhaps, he can go into the palace and walk around a little more.

He said, "Yes, my son remembers." ”

Kangxi thought for a while, and then advised: "Even those old ministers, if they can't be used by you, they can be replaced at any time." Don't think about it much. The only important thing is the Daqing Jiangshan Sheji. ”

"Use your brothers a lot, they will help you."

"Okay."

Kangxi reminded: "Fourteen, that kid has always been stingy, but don't worry about him, so as not to hurt your mother's heart." ”

He sighed: "Your mother is so transparent to a person, but she is soft-hearted and can't see the suffering in this world." ”

On the southern tour that year, Concubine De accompanied him, looking at the beggars and vendors, and there was a deep sadness in her eyes.

She has genuine pity for all the suffering people in this world, and has disobeyed herself more than once for the sake of those lowly slaves.

She has a scale in her heart from beginning to end, and it has not changed in the slightest.

Kangxi hated her for this, but later, he gradually accepted it.

Kangxi thought for a while and advised: "Let his kid come and guard the imperial tomb for me, a few children, only he has an interesting temperament." Maybe I'll be less stuffy underground. ”

"The third child's withdrawn temperament also brought me to guard the imperial mausoleum. lest he say anything inappropriate in the court. ”

Kangxi still has a lot to say, but it seems that he doesn't need to say anything.

It was his and Erlinzhu's child.

Among all his children, he is the one who can best defend the Qing Dynasty for him.

He also did his best and left a lot of things for Yinzhen.

He left a mess, and if Yinzhen dealt with it, it was Yinzhen's merit; Yinzhen didn't handle it well, and he was also guilty of loving Xinjueluo. Xuan Ye.

Nothing to do with his son.

He left Yinzhen with a lot of usable people and a lot of vacancies.

Except for a few sons, his other sons did not have a big seal at all, which was left for Yinzhen to use to invite people to buy people's hearts and have fewer obstacles.

He was afraid that he had not done enough.

But he didn't know what else he could do.

He pondered, pondered, and said to Yinzhen: "Among your three sons, the eldest has a strange personality, and the younger one is too straightforward, but Hongli is still a little interesting. If there is no better than him, let it be established. ”

He quickly said: "No, let me bring Hongli into the palace to see before making a decision." ”

Yinzhen nodded in response.

Kangxi got up: "Let's go, accompany your mother to watch the play." It's been a long time since we've been together like this. ”

Yinzhen helped Kangxi to the back garden.

Kangxi remembered one more thing: "You ordered someone to bring the Panchen in, don't leave a trace." ”

Yin Zhen glanced at Kangxi suspiciously, didn't say anything, just nodded.

The two went to the courtyard to watch a play.

At this time, it is the "Palace of Eternal Life. Bullet Words".

is singing: "A generation of red faces is the king, and the hatred of thousands of years is dripping with blood." Half a tree is a monument of thin life, and a handful of soil is a grave of broken intestines......"

By the time the play was over, it was already late at night.

Kangxi said to everyone: "Hongli, this child is good, and he will raise him in the palace in the future." ”

Hongli saluted and thanked him, and got into the carriage.

Subsequently, Kangxi taught him a book lesson and took him on a tour of the Rehe Summer Resort.

Yin Zhen watched them leave.

After the two rested, Wulanala Jingshu asked Yinzhen: "In two days, I will go to see Hongli?" ”

"Okay, remember to say hello to Eniang." Yinzhen didn't stop him.

Ulanara Jingshu responded.

After returning to the palace, several people rested.

On the second day, Kangxi was talking about keeping Hongli in the Umalu Palace.

Umalus sighed and said, "I'm all old bones, don't toss me." ”

Kangxi thought for a while: "Then it will be recorded in the names of the concubine and the concubine, she is close to each other, and Hongli can come to see you from time to time." ”

Umalus did not object.

That's it.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, Kangxi ordered Prince Shuoyong Yinzhen, Twelve Beizi Yinqi, and Prince Shuocheng Yinzhi's son Hongsheng to go to Shengjing to worship the Three Tombs.

Yinzhi and Yinzhen have little contact, Hongsheng is not close to Yinzhen, and he doesn't love this cold-faced fourth uncle, but he just maintains the etiquette on the surface and does not go to Yinzhen's side.

Yin Zhen didn't say anything.

Because of the relationship between the elders, Yinzhen can have a few words with Yinzhen.

Yin Yi said: "Fourth brother, why haven't I seen you enter the palace recently." E-niang also said that she hadn't heard Mother De mention you for a few days. ”

"It's a busy affair."

Yin Yu was more open than he thought: "In this world, how can there be a busy day, or family is more important." ”

Yin Zhen smiled when he heard this: "I often hear the minister say that your style is similar to mine, but now it seems that it is not necessarily the case." ”

Yin Yi smiled: "I recognize one who is like the fourth brother." ”

He said: "The sixteenth brother loves cleanliness and loves the master of the moon. It is often said that the white moon is bright and clean, and there is no room for filth in the world, so it shines in the night. He only looks at himself, and has a few months of character. ”

When Yinzhen heard him say this, he knew what he meant.

But Yinzhen didn't answer this.

He smiled faintly and said: "People live in the world, in addition to pursuing fame and fortune, it is also good to have good character and integrity. ”

Yin Yi smiled: "I think so too." ”

As soon as Yin Yi changed his words, he changed his words, and he said: "The seventeenth brother has been friends with the thirteenth brother for a long time, and he wanted to visit several times, but he was afraid that the thirteenth brother would be surprised. Although he found me, I have never had much friendship with the thirteenth brother. Today, I can only cheekily ask the fourth brother for the seventeenth brother. ”

Yinzhen also heard about the seventeenth brother Yinli, and like the thirteenth brother Yinxiang, he was smart, open-minded and steady, indulging in landscapes, calligraphy, good poetry, good travel, and concentrated on studying Tibetan Buddhist scriptures.

If it were himself, Yinzhen would never agree. But the thirteenth brother ......

The thirteenth brother has been trapped in the capital for many years, rarely walking, and it is good to have multiple companions.

Yin Zhen said loosely: "When I return to the capital, let them meet one day." ”

"That's good." Yin Yi said with a smile.

After worshipping the three tombs, the three of them galloped back to Beijing.

In February, Yinzhen picked a day to be the east, and invited the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang and the seventeenth elder brother Yinli, and he also invited Yinzhen.

When Yinlu came, he brought the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu.

Yinyi said with a natural expression: "I have something to say to the sixteenth brother today, and I came to the banquet when I thought of the fourth brother's invitation, so I brought the sixteenth brother." I don't mind if I want to come. ”

Everyone is here, and Yinzhen can't be driven away.

Yinzhen, Yinzhen, and Yinlu are all somewhat introverted people who don't talk often.

Fortunately, Yinxiang and Yinli are open-minded, and because they have similar interests, they have a lot to say, and gradually they will also mix two sentences.

The banquet is not too dull.

Yinli invited Yinxiang to translate Buddhist classics together, and he smiled and invited Yinlu to go with him.

Yinlu glanced at Yinzhen and nodded in agreement.

Although the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu and the fifteenth elder brother Yinlu are both half-brothers, they were both born to Wang Yunjin.

But it's different from Yinyu who was raised by the prince's side.

Because Umalu was raised a lot at that time, Yinlu was recorded in the name of the concubine Borzigit of Xianfu Palace and raised by him.

Baoyin is a smart person, if he hadn't met Yuan Qingqing for the first time, he would not have been able to escape the world for many years if he hadn't been implicated in Yuan Qingqing's case.

She raised Yinlu single-handedly, and she was also a little sincere for this child.

She is an old man in the palace and knows a lot of old things, and she is afraid that Yinlu will not be able to see current affairs clearly, so she specially advises Yinlu to get closer to Yinzhen and Yinzhen.

Yinlu also asked puzzledly: "The starling is now powerful in the court, I want to please, and I should please the starling." Why did my mother ask me to get close to my fourth brother. ”

He hesitated: "I heard that the fourth brother has always been close to people in the future, and it is not so easy to get close to him. ”

Bao Yin smiled: "Babel is now powerful, you go, it's just the icing on the cake, how good can he remember you?" ”

Bao Yin looked at him lovingly: "Besides, they look powerful, but they are just a castle in the air, and they will collapse at any time." If their system had been useful, the emperor would not have made any of them the prince over the years. ”

Yinlu asked: "So, mother is saying that the imperial father will make the fourth brother the prince." ”

Bao Yin hurriedly interrupted, "I didn't say that. ”

Baoyin taught him: "Your imperial father is a person who has a city in his heart, and everything cannot be seen only from the surface. ”

She asked the people in the palace to be farther away, and not to stand alone, before saying, "You are young, and you don't know many things in the palace. You don't know how much the emperor loved Concubine De at the beginning, if he really wanted to choose a prince, I would rather believe that he would choose Concubine De's child. ”

Yin Luqi said: "Then I should go to Starling." ”

Fourteen Beizi Yinzhen is also the child of Concubine De, and there are eight Beile who are building momentum for it.

Baoyin scolded a stupid thing, and seeing that Yinlu was honest, he eased his tone and said, "Since I asked you to go to your fourth brother's, there must be my reason." You only know these superficial things. ”

Baoyin said: "You haven't been in contact with your Concubine De's mother, and you don't know that your fourth brother's temperament is the same as her, but the character of the fourteenth is not similar to Concubine De." ”

Bao Yin reminded: "This kind of temperament, none of you like it, and you don't want to get close. However, the emperor promised her the position of concubine and the position of your fourth brother. What does this mean, don't you still understand? ”

When it comes to this, it's a fool to don't understand it anymore.

What's more, Yinlu is not a fool.

He suddenly realized: "I understand, thank you Mom." ”

At this time, several people said goodbye, and Yinlu looked at Yinzhen who was standing there calmly, and seemed to have an understanding.

In the end, Yinlu followed Yinlu and left.

On the way, Yinlu pondered for a long time, and said to Yinlu without a beginning or an end: "What the imperial father likes and what the minister wants, it is not necessarily the same." ”

Yin Yi looked at him suspiciously.

Yinlu smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, just talk some nonsense." ”

Yinzhen left with Yinxiang and Yinli at this time, and he smiled and told Yinli: "You and your thirteenth brother have something to say, you can go to his house more in the future." ”

Yinli smiled: "Okay." ”

A few people made an appointment to go out on March 3, and then they separated.

However, it did not take place, and within a few days, Yinzhen was sent out by Kangxi to run errands.

On March 3, Yinxiang thought about the February banquet and handed over the invitation, inviting Yinyi, Yinlu, and Yinli to go out together.

They are all princes whose mother's status is not obvious, even if they get together, everyone doesn't feel anything, and they still blindly stutter to Yinxi and others.

Yinxiang and the others didn't care, they just had a good time, and they also climbed the Miaofeng Mountain in western Beijing, saw the green wood saffron, and everyone wrote poems.

is a nobleman, with a bit of knowledge, and the writing seems to be similar.

After Yinzhen returned to Beijing, the two also gave Yinzhen a comment, and Yinzhen boasted that several poems were good, each with its own merits.
