so

Three years is a long time no matter where it is placed.

Yinhu seemed to be rooted in Moxi, she stayed here for three years and refused to go back no matter what.First he punished himself, and Kangxi pardoned him for the crime of defeat.Then he was worried about Moxi's development, so Kangxi allowed him to stay for another three months.However, Yinhu's notebooks were sent back without interruption. Every time he wrote down what he had seen and heard about Moxi, what he did, what he was going to do, how to weave flags, how to change the official system, how to open up trade routes, how to promote water conservancy, and everything in the memorial. .Kangxi was also very serious about reviewing, writing down his thoughts to Yinhu in detail, and discussing the details with the crown prince before replying. Over the past three years, the written conversations with Yinhu every half a month have gradually become an indispensable part of Kangxi's governance. Sometimes Kangxi would go to Qixiang Palace to see Concubine Liang, tell her about Yinhu's recent situation, and then look at Hongchang, who is becoming more and more delicate and lovely, and he admires this son even more in his heart.

It seems that the son is like this, he stays by his side every day, he doesn’t see any good, and he is let out far away, so he misses him a little more, and he always takes time to think about whether he is eating well and how his injuries are. It's like this, from the memorial it looks like they are busy until late every day, even if young people work hard, they still have to pay attention to their health.

Kangxi thought about Yinhu, but others didn't necessarily think about it.The prince is getting bigger and bigger, and his mind has become much deeper. It seems that he doesn't care as much about this younger brother who was brought up since childhood.I don't know since when, the thirteenth elder brother has been going in and out of Yuqing Palace frequently, getting closer and closer to the crown prince.Kangxi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't do anything - Yinhu gradually gained power, and it would be best if he could separate the prince from him.Elder brother Thirteen is still young, so he is pleasing to look at, and it is good to practice more with the prince.

In the blink of an eye, the 40th Anniversary of Kangxi's Longevity Day arrived, Yinhu's gift list arrived, and it was still so appropriate and meticulous, even if the person was not there, there was no lack of etiquette.It's just that Kangxi looked at the seat at the banquet that was supposed to be Babeile, and couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.Although it is mentioned several times in Yinhu's Memorial: To do errands is to be filial, and the minister is thousands of miles away, and he misses the emperor's father day and night.But Kangxi always felt a kind of insincere from those carefully written sentences.

Hmph, brat, I've been playing wildly outside by myself, and I hate being restrained in Beijing, so I've been refusing to come back for a long time.If you say it's a business, I think you don't even want Ama Erniang anymore!

Kangxi scolded his son who refused to obey and return to Beijing obediently, regardless of whether he was not playing wild at all, but really couldn't leave.I don't care about my body and exhaust myself like a camel every day, but I still have to be scolded by my father.

Moxi has been in war for many years, and it has changed its appearance under Yinhu's hands. Kangxi knows it well and is proud of it.This is his son, who cherished his family and country at a young age. He did not want a comfortable life in Beijing and took root in frontier defense.Kangxi was really proud to have such a prince.But the more proud the son is, the more he wants to put it by his side to show off to others.Isn't it?Kangxi looked at the North Korean envoys who came to congratulate the Longevity Day, and thought that if Yinhu was here, he would hand over North Korea to the Lifan Yuan. The affairs of the Ministry of Rituals were too complicated, and the foreign affairs in the east should be handled by the Lifan Yuan.

But Yinhu just didn't want to come back.The edict issued several times in the past, and he almost chopped off his head for disobedience. Yinhu usually behaved well in the palace, but when he wrote the notes, he was sloppy and shameless.He kept saying no compliments, just to find a reason for him to come back, and he could answer ten reasons not to come back.Kangxi sometimes wondered if Concubine Liang was critically ill and wanted to see her son for the last time, so this son was willing to let go of his beloved Moxi and return to Beijing to see Ama Erniang.

Longevity is lively.After the banquet ended, Kangxi felt a little deserted after the excitement.The children all went home separately, and the palace was a little lifeless and stuffy again.At this time, Kangxi thought of Yinhu, who was thousands of miles away. The grassland was vast, and it was much more comfortable than the palace, and he began to scold in his heart.Thinking this way, he turned to Ganxitou House—this is the place where Yinhu lived before.When Yinhu was here before, Kangxi had never been here, and now he has moved out of the palace, so Kangxi wanted to take a look.

The door of the head office was not closed, there was a gap, as if someone had just entered.Kangxi stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door opened in response to the sound, but he saw his fourth son standing in the yard, lost in thought.Seeing that Kangxi was coming, he hurriedly saluted and said hello, but he avoided the salute, so he stood up respectfully and stood aside.Kangxi looked at this son, who was normally inconspicuous, but today somehow made his head here, "What is the fourth son doing here?"

Yinzhen answered frankly: "I haven't seen my eighth brother for a long time, it's strange."

Kangxi also laughed when he heard the words: "I still remember that you and Yinhu had a bad relationship when you were young. At that time, there was no one in the palace who he couldn't please, but you didn't buy his account. When you first started to run errands, you were still a big brother. I was overwhelmed by my younger brother, and later we went to fight together, but we got closer."

"Khan Ama made fun of his son." Yinzhen bowed his head humbly, as if a little embarrassed, "At that time, he was young and ignorant."

Kangxi smiled and patted Yinzhen's arm, "I've grown up now," after speaking, he couldn't help thinking of Yinhu who was far away, "I don't know if Lao Ba has grown up."

"The eighth younger brother is always lovable." Yinzhen answered.

"It hurts? You haven't seen him angry!" Kangxi shook his head with a helpless smile. You didn't follow him. You were only sixteen then, right?"

Yinzhen nodded, "People outside say Babeile is a young hero."

"I think he's just a child who won't grow up. He should be brought back and beaten hard." Kangxi slapped his palm on the plum tree in the yard, and the leaves fluttered, shaking and rustling.

"If Khan Ama misses his eighth brother, my son will catch him and let you relieve your anger." Yinzhen said half-jokingly, but his body was bowed low, showing a humble look.

"This kid should be brought back. Malhan went to Moxi last time and said that the eighth elder brother was seriously injured. It's cold and windy over there. He will stay for three years. He is young and should take good care of him." .”

This was something Yinzhen didn't know, and when he heard Kangxi say it, he couldn't help but feel upset.What is Yinhu going to do? There are so many elder brothers, why should he be a weak one guarding the frontier?

Seeing that Yinzhen was silent, Kangxi raised his head to look at his face, and looked at him with unbearable distress. He thought that this is also a man with a heart, and he can remember his brother. With a calculation in his mind, he opened his mouth: "Si elder brother three days later Let's go to Moxi to see what Yinhu has come up with in the past few years."

Yinzhen opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Khan Ama?"

"Why, do you think it's hard work and don't want to go?"

Yinzhen immediately pulled up his clothes and knelt down, "I dare not. I will follow Khan Ama's order and bring the eighth elder brother back."

Not many people brought Yinzhen to Moxi. Although Kangxi had an order, if Yinhu dared to resist the order and disrespected, he would just tie him up and escort him back to Beijing.But Yinzhen thinks that even if Yinhu's riding and archery skills have not fallen, he is still hard to beat with two fists and four hands. Although others dare not do the thing of tying elder brothers, there is something that his fourth elder brother would not dare to do, not to mention how tied he is. The eighth brother he misses so much.

Yinzhen spent little time on the road, setting off early in the morning and camping at night.Even this couldn't calm down the impatience in Yinzhen's heart.No one knew, he was going crazy thinking about that person.I think of his inadvertent smile, the raised eyebrows when he loses his temper, the intoxicating tenderness in his eyes when he comforts the children, but what I miss most is his soft lips, delicate skin, and the touching Body.

Every time he thinks about it, Yinzhen can't help but hurry up, can't wait, it seems that he can't wait since Kangxi told him to go to Moxi, three years later, he can finally see him again, follow his shadow with his eyes, Circle him with your arms, and tell him again, let's be together, forever.

It seems that the past has disappeared, and after experiencing life and death, Yinzhen no longer cares whether he has a wife or not, whether he stands on the opposite side of him, or whether he has carefully calculated to kill him.He just wanted to hold Yinhu tightly in his arms and never let go.No matter what, he still loves that child, even though that child has grown up, can already weather the wind and rain alone, and is already a hero who is famous in the grasslands, in his eyes, Yinhu is still the former Yinhu, kneeling in Chang'an On the corridor in the Spring Garden, she lay limply in his arms, and was kissed by him on the corner of her lips in her sleep.That child still has the sweet taste of childhood, if he could keep kissing him, it would be great.

Yinzhen's request is already very little, he just wants a promise, no matter what the future holds, no matter what life or death may be like, Yinhu can always love him like him.He wanted to be sure that their hearts were together and that with this, everything was enough.

But when facing Yinhu, Yinzhen couldn't speak.

Yinhu did not wear a mandarin jacket or ordinary clothes, but was wrapped in a thick layer of turned-over sheepskin jacket like the local youth.He wore a fox fur hat on his head, the one he bought with Celing.The hat is so big that it covers the ears, and the face looks small, as if there is only one point left.Wrapped tightly, he still looks thin, far from the Mongolian Khan beside him, and looks even more thin and pitiful, as if he hasn't grown up yet.

Riding on the horse, Yinzhen can see the discordant figure in the bustling market at a glance. Even though he is dressed in ordinary clothes, he can show infinite nobility in his gestures. His eighth brother, no matter where he is, is always Bright.

Yinzhen watched for a long time, and inadvertently Yinhu turned his head, and saw Yinzhen riding on a tall horse at a glance.Dressed in white armor with red borders, a bright bay red horse looks extraordinarily dazzling on the gray grassland in early spring.

As soon as Yinzhen and Yinhu's eyes met, they flew off the horse, and Yinhu also pushed aside the crowd, and ran over in a few steps.Seeing that the eighth elder brother was about to pass by, others consciously made way out. Yinhu ran in a hurry, unconsciously pressed his hand on the wound, and stopped panting in front of Yinzhen, but smiled: "Why did the fourth brother come so soon?"

Yinzhen looked at Yinhu, who was just an arm's length away from him, and felt that his eyes were dazzled, no matter how many times he saw it in a dream, it was not as real as a smile in front of him.Yinzhen stretched out his arms to embrace Yinhu in his arms, lowered his head and put his forehead against the brim of Yinhu's hat, wrapped his right hand around Yinhu's neck, and patted Yinhu's back lightly with his left hand twice: "Good brother, long big."

Yinhu reached out and hugged Yinzhen's shoulders, and replied with a smile: "The fourth brother is also."
