The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

In the 37th year of Kangxi, it was the time when the grass was growing and the warbler was flying. Although the spring was cold, the pretty boy had already put on a thin spring shirt.

The 11-year-old Yinzhen walked briskly through the courtyard, and waved casually when he met a respectful servant.

Wangcai licked his face and caught up with Yinzhen's footsteps: "Master Fourteen, Lord Fourteen, let me let you know..."

Yinzhen spat: "You didn't leave as fast as the master, what a fart to report! Besides, there are no female relatives in the Sixth Brother's house, so what is there to report?"

While talking, he didn't stop at all. When he reached the door, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let the master guard from a distance, and no one is allowed to come in!"

Yin Zuo didn't like crowds of people in the house, so the eunuchs and maids who served him were like invisible people, and rarely appeared in front of him, but the inside and outside of the mansion were still well organized.

There is no one to serve the study, Yinzhen felt wronged and opened the curtain to go in: "Sixth Brother!"

Yinzuo is already eighteen, with elegant and picturesque features, and is sitting in front of the desk arranging the paintings. Hearing this, he looked up and said with a smile, "Fourteen is here!"

Yinzhen snorted and said, "Why didn't you wait for me to leave the palace after school?"

Yinzuo marked the back of the painting with a charcoal pen and put it aside, opened another one, and said in his mouth, "I'm growing up too, so what's the point of staying in the palace all day?"

Yinzhen said angrily: "Don't scare me! You clearly want to go out of the palace with the fourth brother, so you left me alone!"

Yinzuo said: "Huang Ama ordered me to sort out the paintings I drew on the road and show him, and said that if the painting is good, I will give me an authentic Yan Zhenqing... If I get it, let you play for a few days first. ?”

Yinzhen sighed and said, "I don't care about it!"

In the end, stop entangled in this matter—since Kangxi ordered Yinzuo to sort out the paintings, if he really stayed in the Defei Palace for more than half a day, he might be slack.

He said enthusiastically again, "Sixth brother, is it fun outside?"

Yin Zuo shook his head: "It's not fun."

"Liar."

Yinzuo made a mark without raising his head, and said lightly: "The first generation of Hunhe River was flooded last year, and the surrounding farms had no harvest. In order to fill their stomachs, the bark was stripped off, the grass roots were dug up, and the algae in the water were also fished out. Get up and eat it—what else do you think is fun?"

Yinzhen said sullenly: "Didn't the masters in the study say that this is a peaceful and prosperous age? Why are the people still living so hard? Didn't the court provide disaster relief?"

Yinzuo said: "The Qing Dynasty is so big, you can't expect the weather to be smooth in every place. It's either drought here or flood there...Even Huang Ama went there and tasted the algae that the people ate—do you think the court has any? Disaster relief? It’s just that no matter how disaster relief is done, it will only help for a while.”

"No matter what, I also want to go and see." Yinzhen said: "I'm so old, I haven't even been out of the capital, it's so boring."

Yin Zuo said: "Listen to Huang Ama, next year I will tour outside the Great Wall, if you go and ask, I will definitely take you with me."

"Then you can also say something nice for me!"

Yinzuo smiled and said, "If you don't help me, who will you help?"

Only then was Yinzhen satisfied, and with a smile on his face, he suddenly lay down on the desk again, leaned in front of Yinzuo, and said mysteriously: "Sixth brother, during the half month you were away, Huang Ama changed the servants of the East Palace again. A batch!"

Yin Zuo frowned slightly, knowing that this was probably the real purpose of this kid, otherwise he would just go to Kangxi to find a sweetheart just for the matter of chauffeur, so what good things do he need to say?

Yinzhen laughed and said: "I really don't know what the second brother thinks, what's so interesting about a tough man, and even with the eunuch... Tsk tsk, don't you think that thing is disgusting?"

Yinzuo slapped Yinzuo's forehead with a slap, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Little brat, just study hard, what do you do asking about these things all day?"

Yinzhen snorted coldly and said: "No matter how young you are, you are Huang Ama's son. Huang Ama is disappointed with the second brother. Except for the second brother, everyone is a concubine... Alas, it is a pity that the first imperial concubine failed to be promoted to the queen, otherwise The fourth brother is also considered half a son."

Yinzuo raised his head in surprise. He remembered that Kangxi was the longest reigning prince in history, with a total of 61 years. Now there are signs, and even such a small guy has an idea.

He said in his mouth: "In the past two years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervised the country, fulfilled his duties, and praised the court for good. Huang Ama also praised the Crown Prince handling government affairs in Beijing, as solid as Mount Tai... Where does the word disappointment come from?"

Yinzhen said: "When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was the King of Jin, he had outstanding political achievements, great military exploits, courteous corporals, modesty and prudence, but what about after he ascended the throne?"

Seeing that he even compared Yinreng to Emperor Sui Yang, Yinzuo frowned and scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about? The prince is not only an elder brother to us, but also the heir of the country. Why do you think life is too carefree?"

Yinzhen stuck out his tongue, and said in a low voice: "I'll be more comfortable with Sixth Brother, I forgot for a while..."

He said in a low voice: "Second elder brother is indeed wise and kind, but deep down he is very cold. When Huang Ama was seriously ill in the palace, he and third elder brother were asked to visit him, so he had no worry at all. He was driven back to the capital by Huang Ama. I have never heard of such a thing as filial piety and benevolence, which can be improved after a reprimand, and now he is just doing it for others to see."

After taking a breath, he said again: "What's more, even Huang Ama may not pay attention to him. How long has it been since the Donggong restaurant, waiter and Haha Zhuzi were executed? Even my own desires can't be restrained. Huang Ama will rest assured to hand over this country to him?"

Listening to Yin Zhen talking in a crisp childish voice, Yin Zuo is a bit overwhelmed. He doesn't want to get involved in the battle for succession, but if Yin Zhen or Yin Zhen want to fight, it's hard for him to stay out of it.

He knew that the fourth brother Yinzhen should be the victor in history, but his fourth brother has changed his shell. Will he take part in the battle for the heir apparent after being an emperor?Can he win like the original owner?Changing the emperor, can he support the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong like Yongzheng in history?

He didn't show it on the face, just smiled and said: "You are too young now, it's useless to think about these things, it's better to study and practice martial arts, and you will have a good future in Huang Ama's eyes. As for me, anyway I have nothing to think about, my brothers have treated me kindly, even if I can't be a prince, I can still be a county king, and my life is safe and rich, my wish is enough."

Yinzhen smiled: "I'm just saying that."

Keeping his voice down, he seemed a little curious and said, "Sixth Brother, if one day I and Fourth Brother get into a fight, who will you help?"

Yin Zuo shook his head and laughed, and said in a manly voice: "In the past, people who saw geese flying would shoot them with bows and say, 'If you catch them, you can cook them. Fight and sue the She Bo. The She Bo please cut the wild goose and cook half of it. If the wild goose is gone, it will fly far away.”

"I don't care, I'm going to ask!" Yinzhen tugged on Yinzuo's sleeve: "What do you mean, who are you helping?"

Yinzuo said helplessly: "I am not the me of yesterday, and the me of tomorrow is not the me of today. How do you let me know that there is no shadow?"

"I'll ask you now! Help someone, tell me!"

Yin Zuo sighed, "Why don't you ask Fourth Brother if he wants to fight?"

Yinzhen was stunned.

Yinzuo said: "Don't look at how many beautiful errands the fourth brother has done, but Huang Ama is very dissatisfied with him. Do you know why?"

As a little elder brother who is still studying, Yinzhen naturally doesn't know as much as Yinzuo who often hangs around Kangxi. Hearing that Yinzuo wants to tell "secrets", he suddenly becomes excited: "Why?"

"Because I don't care." Yin Zuo sighed: "Nowadays, older brothers, who doesn't want to show off more to please Huang Ama? But only the fourth brother is concerned with political affairs and Huang Ama. , not caring, or even lazy to care."

"But I heard that the fourth brother handles several errands quickly and neatly, which is very pleased with Huang Ama..."

"But when have you ever seen the fourth brother take the initiative to take on errands? Moreover, in the officialdom, there are so many intricate and complicated things, that it can be said that it can affect the whole body. With the ability of the fourth brother, it is obvious that he can do everything, but he never cares about it." Regardless, he cut the mess with a sharp knife. Every time he finished his errands, Huang Ama would clean up the mess behind him. Every time the fourth brother came back, Huang Ama would scold him head and face, but regardless of Huang Ama's scolding How fierce, fourth brother never pays attention to it, makes copying books and confines feet, but never changes half of it-you think fourth brother is like this, does he seem to have any thoughts?"

Yinzhen was thoughtful, and came back to his senses after a long while, and said curiously: "Sixth brother, I heard that you and fourth brother had the best relationship when you were young, they ate and slept together, and when you were vaccinated, fourth brother was still sleepless You have to take care of him, so you have to get better——Why is the fourth brother treating you so coldly now? He even treats me better than you, let alone Thirteen! Hmph, I don’t know who is his real brother!"

Yinzhen didn't see Yinzuo's response for a long while after speaking, he looked up in surprise, but saw Yinzuo's expression was a little dazed, but he didn't know what he thought of, and asked curiously: "Sixth brother, what happened between you and fourth brother back then?" What's the matter? Why did fourth brother become estranged from you suddenly, and Erniang, why doesn't Erniang give fourth brother a good face? Even if I mention it on weekdays, Erniang will turn her face. "

Yinzuo smiled wryly. What happened back then was like a poisonous thorn in his heart, even he didn't want to mention it, let alone Er Niang, let alone the fourth brother?

The memory of childhood is already blurred, but the events of that day are as clear as yesterday.

He remembered that that night he brought ginseng soup and quietly approached the hall where Tong Jia's coffin died, thinking that he would persuade Yinzhen to take a sip no matter what, after all he hadn't run out of water for several days and nights.

However, what was waiting for him was Yinzhen, whose eyes were completely red, like a madman. He was strangled by Yinzhen and passed out. When he woke up again, he was lying on the bed, and De Fei's fierce and hoarse voice came from outside the screen.

"...Why are you so cruel! He is your younger brother! He is your own younger brother! You are not raised by me, but you crawled out of my stomach! How can you do it!"

"He is already a useless person, why don't you let him live!"

"What's wrong with Yinzuo, because he was not honestly killed? Just because Tong Jiashi committed suicide in fear of crime, you are going to kill him to avenge Tong Jiashi? You are really filial, you are really her filial and good son!"

"You don't need to go to Yinzuo, I will pay her with my life! I will pay with my life!"

"It's my fault, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have given birth to Yinzuo to hinder your eyes! I should have honestly sent him to be strangled to death when he was born!"

"It's all my fault, you killed me, you killed me!"

Yinzhen didn't make any sound at all, but the figures outside were intertwined fiercely, and things fell to the ground. He was so anxious but couldn't make any sound, he could only struggle and fall off the bed.

Hearing the sound, the outside quickly quieted down. The next moment, Concubine De rushed in with disheveled hair, hugging him in her arms, listening to his anxious "uh uh" gestures, she knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

"Er Niang is useless, Er Niang is useless... I couldn't keep your fourth brother back then, and now I can't protect you, Er Niang is useless, Er Niang is sorry for you... Yinzuo, Yinzuo, my mother's Yinzuo... ..."

After that day, he didn't see Yinzhen for a long time.

I heard that Kangxi later asked Concubine De to take Yinzhen back to be raised, but Concubine De vowed not to do so.
