Liquidation

On the first month of the 28th year of Kangxi, Kangxi made his second southern tour, visiting the river engineering, and it took half a year to go there.

Yinhu is still studying in Wuyi Zhai, and this year Yinhu, Yinyu and I, a pair of living treasures, also entered Wuyi Zhai.The two were born in the same year, only two months apart from each other's birthdays, and they are very famous for messing around in the palace.With Kangxi's order, the two bastards were sent to Wuyi Zhai in advance, and also moved into Elder Brother's house, living next door to Yinhu.

From then on, Wu Yi Zhai began his days of flying around.The two of them are simply the demon king of the Qing Dynasty, the study dragon.Every day they not only quarrel with the servants, toss the master, but also bully each other. They often fight and make up immediately.Maybe it's really a natural fate, these two bastards are not even afraid of Yinzhen's cold face that is getting more and more handsome, but they can listen to Yinzhen's persuasion.Especially Yinhu, to the point where "Yinhu is the only one to follow the lead", which makes him sometimes angry and funny.

Yinzhen's attitude towards this is to sneer, Yinzhen and Yinrong I am not good at civil and martial arts, neither have shown any ambitions, and I am always messing around.Therefore, he disliked these two brothers very much. Occasionally, Yinhu mentioned it in his ear, and he still wanted to preach a few words. The three of them have a good personal relationship, and they share everything they have to eat, drink, and have fun.

"You're just too gentle!" Yinzhen was very dissatisfied with Yinhu's doting on these two people. "I'm too used to them, and I don't want to look like a big brother!"

Yinhu couldn't help laughing: "You have to sing with a red face and a white face, right? It's enough to have a strict brother like the fourth brother."

Yinzhen said angrily: "You actually compare yourself to an opera actor, do you dislike the strictness of the master?" Kangxi recently said to him "uncertain mood" with the intention of teaching, and he became only practiced indifferent. With his face-to-face skills, he is getting older and more imposing, and sometimes the court ladies and eunuchs are very disturbed when they see him.There are the most gossips in the palace, and there is nothing good to say about his temper.

"Where there is nothing." Yinhu hurriedly slapped the fourth master. After getting along for the past few years, I don't know whether it is a habit or a subconscious, or it should be like this. Yinhu is very smooth in front of Yinzhen, always like this , Yinzhen's temper gradually dissipated, so the more he used this method, the easier it was.

"It's understandable to dislike others. I dislike my good fourth brother...how can I find a reason?" Yinhu teased. "Fourth brother can't be better to me. How could I despise fourth brother? Even if fourth brother reprimands me sometimes, it's for my own good, isn't it?"

Yinzhen snorted lightly, obviously benefiting from it.Yinhu couldn't help laughing, Yinzhen, who was thirteen years old, was already an adult from the inside and outside, and in Mongolia, he was considered an adult at the age of ten.But Yinhu seems to be a child no matter how he looks at it, and he often acts "cutely".He always felt that he was older than them, so he doted on him more and more. From the perspective of onlookers, it meant that Eighth Prince had a gentle and humble personality, and was approachable.It did give him a good name.

Yinzhen was fooled by his gags, so he didn't think about Jiushiliang for the time being.A few days later, another matter occupied his whole mind, Tong Jia's imperial concubine was seriously ill.

Tong Jia's imperial concubine was born in the prominent "Tong Banchao" family Tong Jia, and she has always had a very good relationship with Kangxi. If it weren't for Kangxi's suspicion of "restricting his wife" and only making her the imperial concubine, she would be the queen.Even so, the fate of this imperial concubine is not so enviable.In the ten years since she entered the palace, she had only one daughter who died in one month. She had no children for many years, so she had to adopt the son of the Wu Ya family who was only a palace man at that time, that is, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Yinzhen has grown up gradually.Wu Yashi was promoted to Concubine De after giving birth to her second son, Yinzuo. Yinzuo died early, but Concubine De loved her all the time. She gave birth to three daughters one after another. Last year, she even gave birth to her fourteenth elder brother. , I don't know if there is some sense of compensation, the name of the fourteenth elder brother has the same pronunciation as the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and it is Yinzhen.

Everyone in the palace knows that Yinzhen was adopted. Yinhu doesn't know whether Yinzhen himself knows it or not, but the history Yinhu knows is that Tong Jia's family will not live until this autumn, and after his death, Kangxi will return the fourth elder brother. Concubine De was raised under the name of Concubine De. Unexpectedly, Concubine De had a fourteenth elder brother and was unwilling to have this grown-up eldest son. Kangxi had no choice but to raise Yinzhen himself for a period of time.Before Tong Jia was alive, he must have thought of a way to ask Kangxi to order to change Yinzhen's jade certificate, so that he would truly become Tong Jia's son, but the concubine De was not dead, and Kangxi made plans for the prince Yinreng, but he did not agree after all. .

This is probably the case, the fate between Tong Jiashi and Yongzheng has always been weak, and later he supported Eighth Brother in the court and became a member of the Baye Party.

Adoptive mother died, birth mother abandoned.What should it be like in Yinzhen's heart?When Yinhu saw this passage before, he thought of a sentence: At first, Wu Yashi had nothing, but Tong Jia took away Wu Yashi's son; later, Wu Yashi had everything, but he didn't want this son.During this period of struggle between the mother and the concubine, Yinzhen's mother's love was meager for most of his life, and he became a stranger in the end.After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he only gave the title of Empress Dowager Wuya to Defei, but did not register her.That means not giving her official recognition.It was not until after her death that the empress dowager was recognized in her posthumous title.

Presumably, in his heart, the real mother is Tong Jia's, not Wu Ya's.

Both Kangxi and Yinzhen were very nervous about Tong Jia's illness.Kangxi was still busy with court affairs, but Yinzhen stayed by Tong Jia's side day and night. He seemed to feel a little bit of the feeling that Kangxi accompanied Xiaozhuang day and night. Yinhu went to Jingren Palace directly after class from Wuyizhai , I always see him staying in front of Tong Jia's bed, or talking to relieve boredom, or serving and taking medicine and meals.After a few days, Tong Jiashi did not improve, and Yinzhen lost a lot of weight.

Time entered July, and Tong Jia's body became more and more useless day by day.When Yinhu went to visit, Tong Jia asked Yinhu to go in, held his and Yinzhen's hands together, and said something to make the two brothers harmonious.Almost explaining the funeral.

Yinzhen had been suffering for half a month, his eyes were red, he was even more haggard than Tong Jiashi, he was still young, Kangxi was afraid that Tong Jiashi would be ill, so he also fell ill, and ordered him to go to rest.Yinzhen refused, and Kangxi felt uncomfortable when he saw it.Yinhu was present, so the young and old couldn't help comforting him. Seeing that he really felt sorry for Yinzhen, Kangxi felt better about this son in his heart.

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, Tong Jiashi fell into a coma. Kangxi thought of a way to rejoice, and made Tong Jiashi the queen.On the ninth day of the ninth day, a decree was promulgated, and on the tenth day, Tong Jia's family collapsed -- she was only a queen for one day.

When dying, return to the light.It is called Yinzhen and Yinhu to support each other and love each other.I don't know what they talked about with Kangxi. After that, the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and the soul was dim.Yinzhen and Yinhu were waiting outside the house, and Kangxi walked out alone, his steps were flimsy and his expression was complicated.

Inside the Forbidden City, bells were ringing loudly and there were bursts of crying.Yinzhen rushed in to take a last look, and Yinhu followed behind, only in time to catch his limp body.

Yinzhen did not fall ill, but fell into a coma for three days and three nights.After that, please ask your relatives to escort Tong Jia's coffin of Empress Xiaoyu to Zunhua Dongling.Yinhu please go with him, and Kangxi agrees.Because the Lingshu walked slowly, he did not return to the Forbidden City until the end of November, and enshrined the rank of Empress Xiaoyu in the Fengxian Hall of the ancestral temple.

Yinzhen's birthday this year was also spent on the road, and when Empress Xiaoyu passed away, there was one less person in the world who remembered his birthday.Yinhu personally asked the craftsman for advice in private, and polished a string of black gold and obsidian Buddhist bead bracelets as a birthday present for him.Yinzhen learned that it was made by Yinhu himself, so he put it on immediately.

"Fourth brother, you still have me, and Huang Ama and brothers..." Yinzhen's face was cold and almost harsh along the way, Yinhu tried his best to comfort him, and single-handedly arranged for his daily life for the past four months, Forcing him to eat and rest.

Yinzhen's eyes finally recovered a little, and he just nodded slightly.After returning to the palace, Kangxi suddenly summoned Yinzhen, and Yinhu sent Yinzhen away, but unexpectedly he didn't come back for a long time.

It snowed heavily that night, and Yinhu waited for a long time for a reply to report her safety.He sent all the eunuchs and maids around him out to inquire, and when he learned that Kangxi had taken Yinzhen to the Yonghe Palace, he lost his temper, after which Kangxi had returned to his bedroom.

Yinhu was furious: "Where is the news about the fourth brother? This is what I want!"

"This slave really doesn't know!" Feng Jing knelt down and cried, "There are quite a few other eunuchs and maids at the Qiandong No. [-] Institute. Eunuch Su Peisheng said that he didn't come back because he was with the fourth elder brother. This slave boldly went to Qianqing Palace. Eunuch Liang said It’s the Lord Long Live who told the fourth elder brother to go back! It’s snowing heavily tonight, and the Lord Long Live has already rested early, so the servants dare not disturb…”

"This group of bastards!" Yinhu was anxious and angry: "Can you tell Liang Adanda that the fourth elder brother is missing?"

Feng Jing hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say it, but you want to tell me now?"

"You!" Yinhu had no choice but to kick this guy to death. "Pick up two of Grandpa's cloaks! Go out with Grandpa!"

Feng Jing didn't dare to stop him, Nuonuo hurriedly scooped up the clothes, Yinhu took one and put it on indiscriminately, grabbed another, and dived into the vast snow.Going straight to Jingren Palace, according to his inference, it should be that Concubine De made it clear that she did not want to raise Yinzhen, so Kangxi had to temporarily put the matter aside. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen was stimulated and did not return to elder brother's house.In this palace, there are not many places where he can go with his current mood, except Jingren Palace where Tong Jiashi used to live.

"Fourth Brother...Fourth Brother!" The first snow turned into a blizzard, and there were many snowfalls. There was no road in the whiteness, and the palace was extremely wide. Yinhu couldn't tell the direction, and his feet were muddy.He walked hurriedly, staggered and fell to the ground.

Feng Jing followed closely behind, crying anxiously: "My lord! My lord! Where are you going!"

Yinhu wiped the snow off his face vigorously, got up and turned around in the snowstorm and yelled at him: "You go to Qianqing Palace to find Liang Jiugong!!!"

I don't know if I heard it or not, but Feng Jing gradually disappeared.Heavy snow covered the ground and gradually piled up in layers.Yinhu continued to move forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot, his eyes were blinded by the wind and snow, and the cold wind hit his face painfully.Yinhu has no thoughts in his mind at this moment, what history, what Yongzheng, what the Eight Lord Party... All he needs to do is find Yinzhen!Find him and stay with him!No matter where he is, no matter what he will do in the future!

The vertical plaque of Jingren Palace hanging high was finally faintly discernible, and his feet were numb from the cold. Yinhu stomped his feet desperately, and ran into the bedroom of the main hall with the last of his strength. Sure enough, he heard Su Peisheng exclaimed in surprise: "Eight Brother!"

Not caring about anything else, Yinhu grabbed him and immediately asked, "Where is fourth brother?"
