so

Yinhu was not seriously injured, but the pain was not light.Yinhu was in the Ganxitou office, running around in a hurry, watching the imperial doctor administering medicine to Yinhu, she wished she could stare out her eyes.

"Brother, the old man is too cruel. Will this medicine work? How about I go to Erniang to ask for some good blood stasis medicine." Yinzhen looked at Yinhu's sweat that was constantly oozing, and really wanted to take it on his behalf. this sin.

Doctor Zhang applied the medicine on his own, as if he hadn't heard anything, but Yinhu gave Yinhu a reproachful look, and said, "Xiao Jiu, why are you talking? I'm fine, so you don't have to talk nonsense, just sit down." Wait for a while, and tell my brother, how are you doing recently? I was busy with the affairs of the Lifan Academy, and I didn’t pay much attention to you and Xiaoshi. Yesterday, the fourth brother got married, and you drank a lot, did you have a headache?”

"Brother, you just need to take care of yourself. I am no longer a child with Lao Shi, and I can still drag you around every day? But you, what happened today has made us worry for no reason. Fourth brother is newly married, But I asked Su Peisheng to come over and ask several times, how did you provoke Khan Ama again?"

Yinhu's scolding look made Yinhu laugh: "My younger brother has grown up, and I'm taking care of my elder brother. I'm fine, it doesn't matter, Khan Ama is not angry anymore, but kicked twice, what's the value?" , and there is no real punishment."

"What kind of punishment is there? I heard from Liang Jiugong that you won't even be allowed to do errands? It's too cruel to let you go back to the study. I wanted to go to Chengqian Palace as soon as I heard about it. Qianqing Palace is looking for Khan Ama, if Er Niang didn't stop me, I..."

"Ninth brother, why do you get more impulsive when you get bigger?" Yinhu said in a comforting tone, "Ama Khan has made up his mind to dampen my spirit, so that's fine, calm down, and I will be able to do big things in the future."

Just as he was talking about the medicine being ready, Zhang Qinian obediently stepped forward to put clothes on Yinhu.

"Take a look on your lap too, is the old injury okay?" Yinzhen asked anxiously.

"It's not a problem, how can I be so delicate. It was cold outside last year, and it was more serious. There was no root cause of the disease. My own body, I still don't know? I'm fine, and it's not worth it for everyone to come and take a look. You Send someone to tell Xiao Shi that you don't need to come here on purpose." After finishing speaking, he added, "Fourth brother, I'll trouble you too." Yinhu heard that Yinzhen was still thinking about him on the second day of his wedding, and he said something in his heart It's not awkward, but Yinzhen is always bound with Yinzhen, even for Yinzhen, it is difficult for Yinhu to really tear apart his face with Yinzhen.

"Fourth brother...although he has had some troubles with you recently, but I know he still misses mynah in his heart. I'm afraid it won't work if I say something. Even if he can't come today, he has to come in person tomorrow. It's even more impossible with Xiao Ten. I won’t come anymore, he’s taking a little longer to do the class, and now I can’t still get it to the mynah to do it, and I’ll come over when it’s done, so don’t ask me for nothing.”

"Then I'm talking in vain. How about you, are you done with the window class?"

"When did the starling become like the fourth brother? I... asked Rongbao to do it. He happened to be on duty today." Yinzhen bowed her head in embarrassment.Since Yinhu started to run errands, Yinhu's Haha Beads have also filled the vacancies of bodyguards and Luan Yiwei. Fulton also awarded the assistant leader, and no longer follows Yinhu.The palace has its own rotation, and Rongbao is the third-class bodyguard, but because Rongbao can imitate his handwriting, Yinzhen entrusts Tong Guowei to transfer Rongbao to his vicinity to help him with his homework from time to time.

"You don't rely on me to help you. This kind of unprogressive thing, just do it occasionally. I will tell Rongbao next time. If you always ask him to help, let him report it directly to the fourth brother." It's gone." Knowing that Yinzhen was losing his temper, Yinhu didn't hold him too tightly, and only brought out the great god Yinzhen to scare him occasionally.

Yinzhen was as easy to use as ever, and Yinzhen snorted immediately: "Brother...you..."

The two of them were talking, when someone outside reported: "The fourth elder brother is here."

Before the words fell, Yinzhen came in directly.At a glance, Yinhu could be seen sitting in the middle of the room wearing only a middle coat, several layers of bandages, no hat, and fine beads of sweat all over his forehead.

"So serious?" Yinzhen took three steps at a time, walked forward hurriedly, frowned, looked at Yinzhen who was about to salute, waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's no need. How is Yinzhen? "

"Brother was kicked twice by Khan Ama," Yinzhen said a little sleepily, "the imperial doctor said it was all right, I think mynah must have been in severe pain even though he didn't say anything. Why did fourth brother come here by himself? No need Accompany Sisao, you finally have a few days off."

Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhen coldly, and Yinzhen immediately shut his mouth and stood straight to the side.Yinhu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother four. I'm sorry to trouble you here."

Yinzhen didn't answer the question, took out his handkerchief, came forward to wipe the sweat from Yinhu's forehead, and asked solemnly: "Why are you going to naturalize? How old are you, and how many older brothers do you have? How could it be your turn?" To take risks?" After asking, seeing that both Yinhu and Yinhu were stunned, he said sternly: "It's pure nonsense, no wonder Khan Ama is angry."

Yinhu didn't react for a while, looked at Yinhu, and asked seriously: "Brother, where are you going?"

"Guihua City. Mongolia." Yinhu replied.

"Is it really going to war?" Yinzhen was a little surprised.

"In the past two or three years, Galdan is still alive, so there must be a big battle anyway." Yinhu did not reveal Kangxi's secret, but he spoke the truth.

"Then... if the starling goes away, will he not come back for two or three years?" Yinzhen continued to ask.

"Maybe. However, whether to go or not, we have to wait for Khan Ama's order." Yinhu nodded to the imperial physician who gave the medicine, and motioned for Zhang Qinian to send it out. Putting on his own clothes, he said casually to Yinzhen: " Fourth brother, sit down quickly."

"Have you convinced Khan Ama? How could Khan Ama..." Yinzhen sat down as he said, and looked at Yinhu in amazement, "You can't go."

"I am the prince of the Qing Dynasty. Why not make contributions to the Qing Dynasty? Could it be that the fourth brother is jealous when he sees that I have got this job?" Yinhu smiled faintly, and there was a kind of indifference in the smile.

Yinzhen only felt that smile was extremely dazzling.Sighing, he said, "It's hard in the army. You haven't been on the battlefield, so how do you know? It's okay to be with Khan Ama. You don't have a title now, and you are sent out. You are just a flat-headed brother. Even if you get to the border, you can do it." What. You have done a good job in the Lifan Academy, so why bother to lose the stall you have worked so hard to manage for a long time in order to go to the battlefield. "

"Fourth brother always thinks about Yinhu, and Yinhu has thanked you. However, Yinhu also has his own judgment on this matter. These days, I go back to the study to study. After a while, maybe the will will come down. I don’t want to have any authority or fight for military exploits. I just want to go out and have a look, and experience some experience.”

"Where is the prince? He just let you mess around like this?" Yin Zhen still looked disapproving.

"Fourth brother, don't mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You and Fifth Brother went on a business trip in the morning, and the rest of us are still studying in the study, so we don't know anything about myna. Where is the Crown Prince? It's in Yuqing Palace Here, Khan Ama met people from Zhan Shifu today, and the starling was kneeling next to him. I don’t believe he doesn’t know. What about him? Did he respond? Isn’t it what he should do when he is huddled in Yuqing Palace? Do you mean to plead for the starling? Fortunately, the starling thinks of him and takes care of him in everything. Mynah, you treat him as a brother, but he may only treat you as a slave, so why rush to post..."

"Shut up!" Yin Zhen sternly shouted.Seeing that Yinzhen had stopped talking, he said, "Is it okay to say such things casually? Where have you learned the rules?"

Yinhu just smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Yinzhen's hand, "Fourth brother, don't be angry. Xiao Jiu also has a temperament that is easy to fight and fight against injustice, and that's what happened to me. If you want to scold you, scold me That's it, why lose your temper with him." Seeing Yinzhen's dissatisfaction, he also comforted him: "I said hello to the second brother in advance, and he went to intercede, so he can only do bad things. The second brother is still good to me. Yes, what happened last year, do you really remember it for the rest of your life?"

What Yinhu was talking about was the penalty of kneeling in 33. Yinhu didn't care about it for a long time, but Yinhu seemed to have a knot in his heart, since then.Facing the prince, he only maintained superficial etiquette. Yinzhen had scolded him several times for this matter, but Yinzhen still had an unrepentant temperament.Even Yinhu's persuasion has no effect.Yinhu just treats her as a child with a big temper, and she will be fine in a few days. Who would have thought that Yinhu's little personality will last for more than a year.

"Brother, I don't understand, what did he give you, you are so devoted to him." Standing beside Yinhu, Yinhu pulled his sleeve and said, almost tearing Yinhu's clothes off .

"Xiao Jiu, how many times do I have to tell you that the second elder brother treats me just like the fourth elder brother treats you? It's because the elder brother loves and nurtures the younger brother. If you make a mistake, the fourth elder brother will punish you too? Give me face, but it's my fault, I don't think it's a big deal, why do you care about it like this, it seems that our ninth master has no courage."

Hearing Yinhu's words, Yinzhen felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but he didn't know where this awkward feeling came from.

Yinzhen retorted: "Fourth brother is only fined for copying books, what about him? Not to mention anything else, mynah, you are injured, it is impossible for the prince not to know, and fourth brother is newly married, and they have come to see you, you say he You are a good brother, why didn't you even send someone to greet you?"

Yinzhen's words were very in line with Yinzhen's intentions, and Yinzhen couldn't help but praise in his heart.

"Fourth brother didn't take care of me because of your face. Speaking of which, I should thank ninth brother." After Yinhu finished speaking, he turned to Yinzhen: "Fourth brother is still a big brother on his wedding day. Coming to see me from afar, Yinhu also felt a little sorry. In the future, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to the door in person to apologize to the fourth sister-in-law."

"Fourth brother, what the eighth brother said is reasonable, you really neglected sister-in-law today, sister-in-law, don't be angry with us." Yinzhen continued.

"Our fourth sister-in-law has a good temper, so naturally she won't be angry," Yinhu smiled, pulled Yinhu again, and said, "Xiao Jiu, you go back and finish the window class first, I have something to say to fourth brother .”

"Yo, when did the fourth brother have private conversations with the mynah, mynah be careful, my sister-in-law knows how to eat." Yinzhen beamed brightly and smiled brightly.

Yinzhen was originally just a joke, but Yinzhen, who had something on his mind, was a little awkward. He gave Yinhu a careful and tentative look, but Yinhu returned an expectant look, which made Yinzhen a little at a loss, and he couldn't help but hope: Could it be that Xiao Ba treats me the same way?Yinzhen's heart was full of turmoil, but his face was still calm, and he refused coldly: "What's the matter, can't we talk about it later?"

Yinhu didn't have to say it at this time, but it was not easy to find an opportunity to distract others and talk to Yinzhen.This time is also a rare opportunity.Yinzhen leaned in the direction of his body, and said: "It's really something. It's okay to talk about it another day, but I have to go back to study tomorrow, and the fourth brother has business, I'm afraid it's hard to find time."

After finishing speaking, Yinhu winked at Yinhu, and Yinhu tactfully beat him and left. Before leaving, he said to Yinhu: "I'll go to Lao Shi's place to sit for a while. When will the starling be free? Let someone go to Xisan Office to call, and the two of us will come over together in a while."

"Fourth brother, I have something to ask." Yinhu knew that time was running out, so he got straight to the point and didn't make any more detours.

Seeing his solemnity, Yinzhen immediately suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, pulled up a stool and sat closer to Yinhu, and said, "If you have something to do, it must be a big one. Don't hide it, just say it straight."

"I've thought about this for a long time, and only the fourth brother can trust me. Khan Ama, at the latest next year, will definitely use troops against Junggar. Right now, I'm just waiting for the trace of Galdan. As soon as Galdan approaches the desert, Khan Ama must send troops to conquer." Yinhu said in a low voice, but the words were clear and powerful.

"So fast? You are in the Lifan Courtyard, but you are actually..."

Yinhu nodded, but did not wait for Yinzhen to finish speaking.Yinzhen also tacitly didn't continue talking, and asked again: "You went to Guihua City to continue handling the errands of the feudal court?"

"Yes," Yinhu replied, "I may have to leave in August at the latest. In the Lifan Court, Shangshu Bandi may also be naturalized sooner or later. The right servant Wenda is not in good health, so he may not send Go out. Even if you stay behind, it is impossible for him to take charge of the affairs. If Rihan Ama conscripts himself, he may have to hand over the affairs of the Fanyuan to the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and let him manage the two places alone. Things can only be done by him.”

"what do you mean?"

"Fourth brother, listen to me. I have been presiding over the preparations for the war in the Lifan Academy for almost half a year, but all I have done is to survey the terrain, ask for roads, add post stations, and raise horses. I found some in Mongolia. Camels, horses, cattle and sheep are far from enough. Once the food and grass start to be raised, the whole country will know that there is a war. In addition, the Pingyang earthquake in April, natural disasters are ahead, and it is difficult to prepare in time. The fourth brother is in charge of the household department, and Mr. Ma Qi It shouldn't be difficult to say hello. I want to ask my fourth brother to make preparations as early as possible and prepare more food and grass. At least before winter, we must store enough food for an army of [-] for five months. Horses, the food delivery team also needs to be prepared in advance. For the situation on the food delivery road, when the fourth brother uses it, he can ask Mr. Wenda for a map of Monan. It was drawn by someone when I was compiling the book, and it will definitely be useful. There is also an old herdsman in Lord Wenda's house. He has crossed the desert many times and knows the way. It is also good to be a guide on the grain road. In addition, in May, I found someone to collect a lot of dried beef and mutton in Horqin Harqin and other banners in Mongolia. They said that they were going to be sold outside the mouth, and they did not leak military secrets. They also let out rumors that they will buy a lot in the spring of next year. This errand was entrusted to Dechang. I personally checked it out and it was done well. I rented a warehouse in the outer city to store the jerky. Dechang is also in charge of the key. Although the dried beef and mutton are a bit more expensive, they are easy to carry and are considered the best. I have tasted some, and the taste is not bad. It is easier than carrying live sheep when we fought before. Dechang The fourth brother Chang also knows him, and the fourth brother even snatched a pair of pants from him."

Yinhu left by himself, and Kangxi must not be in danger of starving to death in the desert again.In the previous life, the Qing army only prepared food for [-] days, so they crossed the desert, but did not dare to go deep, and were forced to return to the army due to food shortage.To change this, we can only start from the Ministry of Households. Yinhu's hand cannot reach the Ministry of Households. Even if the prince can do it, Yinhu gradually feels that it is getting more and more difficult to persuade the prince.Yinzhen is different, Yinhu instinctively feels that Yinzhen trusts him, and he doesn't need to explain too much to Yinzhen, as long as it is for the country and the people, Yinzhen will definitely agree.Moreover, Yinzhen only goes one step further, and he is the head of the household department, elder brother, who is likely to participate in raising food and grass in the future. It is the safest and most discreet to hand over the things he has prepared to Yinzhen.Yinzhen's errands were done well, and it didn't hinder Yinhu. Instead, he took the opportunity to give Yinzhen a favor.

"You don't have to." Yinzhen didn't ask why.Although he didn't know many things, he could see some clues from Yinhu's negotiations with the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than half a year.Kangxi's attitude towards the Lifan Academy has always been biased. Even after the Shanxi earthquake, the household department was short of money and food, but as long as Yinhu asked for money, there was never a time when he couldn't get it.Yinzhen guessed that it was related to the war at the time, and he was not surprised to get the verification from Yinhu's mouth at this time.It's just that Yinhu's entrustment to him is too unusual, and it's not like what Yinhu should do. Such entrustment should be entrusted by the emperor's father.

"I know that Khan Ama may only ask the household department to raise food and grass for a hundred days, but Yinhu begged the fourth brother to agree that no matter what, he must prepare enough for five months."

"why?"

"Prepare a lot. If you can't use it, you'll lose some at most. But if you don't have enough food and you can only return without success, then all the preparations will be in vain."

"I can do it, it won't do me any harm," Yinzhen said, "However, I have one condition."

"Fourth brother, please tell me."

"Tell me, how much money did you take from me? How much did the people under you take?" Yinzhen's eyes turned cold in an instant, "You have a limited number of cases every month, even if the prince Help you a little, but not much. The Lifan Academy didn’t have much money before, so it’s impossible to give you too much respect, if you didn’t deduct from the money for the study, where would you get the money to buy the dried meat?”

Yinhu smiled faintly, got up and took a box from the bookshelf, opened the lock, took a silver ticket from the interlayer, and handed it to Yinzhen, "Fourth brother has bright eyes like torches, Yinhu admires it. Today Yinhu has something to ask for The money reported by the Lifan Academy is 3% vain. In the Lifan Academy, those who assist in the repair of books will benefit. I don’t have much left here, only [-] taels. Before the ninth brother I once said that I wanted to send my slaves to do some business, so I kept them, and wanted to make some money for him, to make up for his share. Now the fourth brother asked, and I didn’t hide anything, so I gave it to the fourth brother. There is always money for the things entrusted. I will find a way with Ninth Brother."

But Yinzhen didn't answer, looking at Yinhu with extremely sharp eyes, he said, "A 10,000% vain? That's two [-]+ taels of silver. Do you know how many disaster victims can be saved?"

"Without food, no amount of money can save a single person. What the victims need is supplies, not snow silver. The fourth brother is in charge of the household department, so he doesn't understand such a simple truth." Yinhu refused to budge. .

"You! So, don't you think you did something wrong?"

"The fourth brother said he was wrong, so he was wrong. Yinhu didn't want to compete with the fourth brother in these matters. I answered the fourth brother's question truthfully. What about my request, will the fourth brother agree?" Yinhu said Pushing the silver ticket forward lightly, he looked seriously into Yinzhen's eyes.

"Tell me first, why do you do this? Even if you are short of money, you can't be so corrupt and pervert the law. You are the prince, and you take the lead in committing injustice. Where is the government and justice?"

Seeing Yinzhen's righteous indignation, Yinhu smiled, took back the silver bill and put it in the box, saying: "I am not short of money. But the people below are short of money. If I don't take it, how dare they take it. They If you don't make a profit, how can you do your best? If you do this, although you won't get a good reputation, it's fine if you do a good job. Do you think that if I don't report more, the treasury can really be saved? Officials are worried about their livelihoods, so they still have to Borrowing from the treasury, if you don’t pay it back in the future, it’s still the same.”

"You are making too much sense." Yin Zhen turned around displeased.

"Fourth brother just asked me why, and this is the reason. I believe in fourth brother, so I tell the truth and entrust important matters. If fourth brother doesn't believe me, you can tell the emperor what I said, and we will also tell you what I said in the future." There is no need to put on this brotherly and respectful look. I do things with a clear conscience, I am worthy of the Qing Dynasty, and I am worthy of the emperor's father." The smile on Yinhu's face disappeared, and his expression was indifferent.

Yinzhen stood up slowly, his complexion changed again and again, various thoughts in his mind were fighting, staring at Yinhu, but unable to speak.The two looked at each other for a long time before Yinzhen said slowly: "Of course I believe in you. I promise what you entrusted, and everything will be done, don't worry. You keep the bank notes yourself, and if Yinzhen is really I have opened a shop, and I will join in." There is another sentence, but Yinzhen did not say: I will find evidence for the matter of the Lifan Court, once I get the evidence, I can only find Yushi to impeach, the eighth brother ,do not blame me.

Yinhu put away the banknote with a smile, looked at Yinzhen with a satisfied smile, and said in his heart: Yinzhen, do you think I can catch you?
