Breeze

At the end of September in the 58th year of Kangxi, Sheng Jia returned to Beijing.

The elderly emperor looked at the several princes who were kneeling to meet him, and finally fell on the thirteenth brother who was kneeling in an inconspicuous position.

Among a group of princes with vastly different ages, he was actually the one with the most gray hair.

Standing next to Li Dequan, Yin Qi watched Kangxi's eyes flicker for a moment, then calmed down again, and finally cried out flatly as before when he returned to Beijing.At this moment, Yinqi couldn't guess at all what Kangxi was thinking, what his flickering eyes represented—or nothing at all.

Thinking of the white hair of the thirteenth elder brother that the sixteenth elder brother specifically mentioned, Yin Qi was confused.

I really don't know what his sixteenth brother is thinking.

However, it had nothing to do with him anyway, so Yinqi stopped thinking about it and followed Kangxi back to the Forbidden City.

On the seventh day of October, without warning, Kangxi made an order.

Order the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang to lead the affairs of the Xianghuang Banner.

~~~~~~~

Kangxi's decree, although there was no uproar in the court, almost everyone was stunned.

This time the holy driver toured outside the Great Wall, and he brought the fifth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the twenty-third elder brother who usually accompanied him. The princes were few, but they brought quite a few grandchildren with them.

Needless to say, Hongchun and Hongming of the fourteenth elder brother's family were given the favor because of their father.In addition, the eldest son of the third elder brother's family, the three elder brothers of the fourth elder brother's family, the two elder brothers of the seventh elder brother's family, and even the tenth elder brother's family who was reprimanded by Kangxi in Xiaotangshan, also had sons called by Kangxi.

Of these older brothers, only Brother Thirteen was left alone.For many years, Kangxi never even mentioned him, let alone summoned his son to accompany him.

But why did he make a decree to give the inlaid yellow flag to the thirteenth elder brother when he returned to Beijing?

Commanding under one flag is not an empty title.This is the real deal, holding military power.

After many years of silence, the thirteenth elder brother actually became the real powerful elder brother when he recovered.

Ever since the prince was abolished in the 47th year of Kangxi, the thirteenth elder brother has become a useless person in the eyes of everyone in the capital. Now he suddenly got up again, and many people were naturally secretly shocked.

Over the years, how many people have put the thirteenth elder brother in their eyes and sincerely respected him?At this time, those who have offended the thirteenth elder brother, who have despised the thirteenth elder brother, are naturally a little terrified.

There may be many people secretly burning incense at home, I hope this decree is just that Kangxi was old and confused, and issued the wrong edict for a while, and it will be retracted in a few days.

But the thirteenth elder brother here firmly held the bordered yellow flag, and it was time to celebrate the new year again. Although Kangxi said he still didn't like the thirteenth elder brother, he didn't intend to take back the bordered yellow flag.

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, for the first time in 11 years, Kangxi summoned the thirteen elder brothers to Changchun Garden for government affairs.

After the thirteenth elder brother finished his job report, he analyzed everything clearly and clearly. After listening to Kangxi, he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Kangxi finally said: "You have not slackened in military matters, not bad."

In a short sentence, Brother Thirteen knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Prince Yong, who was waiting outside, carefully listened to the noises in the room, Elder Brother Thirteen choked up and called Huang Ama, but Kangxi did not speak, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he nodded to Xing Nian next to him, and the two walked down the corridor lightly.

Yin Qi was walking this way from the path in the yard with a stack of poems in his arms. Prince Yong saw him and stopped him.

Prince Yong said: "The emperor is talking with the thirteenth brother inside, don't go there first, just say a few words with the fourth brother."

Yin prayed and walked to Prince Yong.Xing Nian took the book in his hand, and Yin Qi stood beside Prince Yong with his hands down, waiting to hear his lesson.

It was only after a long while that Prince Yong said softly, "Thank you, Brother 23."

~~~~~~~

With a thank you, Yin Qi was so startled that he almost couldn't stand still.He quickly looked at Xing Nian who was at the side, but saw that he still stood aside as if he didn't hear anything.

So Yinqi knew it well. At this time, Xing Nian was probably Prince Yong's man.

Originally, he thought that it would take another year or two for Prince Yong to gather the people around Kangxi, and he would only do it when Kangxi really lost his energy and couldn't even take care of his own side.How could he know that Prince Yong had already grasped Xing Nian at this time.

Thinking about Liu Tiecheng's flattering attitude towards the eighth elder brother, Yin Qi felt that this was nothing.The eighth elder brother can win Liu Tiecheng, how can Xing Nian not be used by the fourth elder brother.

I'm afraid that apart from Li Dequan, everyone around Kangxi has factions, right?It's just a little obvious, a little hidden.

But today, why did the fourth elder brother expose his hidden clues around Kangxi to Yin Qi?

Yinqi became more and more flustered, at first it was because of Prince Yong's thank you, but now it is because of Prince Yong's behavior.

Is this forcing Yin Qi to fall to his side?

Or does it show his trust in Yin Qi?

Yin Qi couldn't guess what purpose this cold-faced prince wanted to achieve, so he could only say: "Why did the prince suddenly say such a sentence? My brother is confused."

Prince Yong squinted his eyes and looked at Yinqi for a while, his expression was surprisingly similar to that of Kangxi.Yinqi was a little distracted, he just felt that Kangxi chose the fourth elder brother to succeed him, and what he said was very humble, and it was not purely false.

When the father and son squinted their eyes to look at people, they had the same feeling of being immobile but still giving people great pressure and threat.

From this point of view, it doesn't look like it, so it can be ignored.

Until Yin Qi was seen by him so much that his clothes were sweating in the cold winter, Prince Yong actually laughed.Then he touched Yin Qi's head and said, "You took good care of Hong Zhou, thank you for that."

When his hand was placed on top of Yin Qi's head, Yin Qi's mind was only thinking about reading martial arts novels in his previous life, and in TV dramas, masters smashed a person's celestial spirit cover with one palm, causing his brain to burst.

Naturally, Prince Yong didn't know such things as bone-transforming palms and Emei golden palms, which can destroy people's heads, but Yinqi only thought of this, and almost shuddered, and wanted to avoid it.Finally, he held back, and when the fourth elder brother's hand fell on the top of his head, he felt goose bumps all over his body, and his hairs stood on end.

Yinqi didn't know what he was talking about anymore, his body seemed to be no longer his, he just listened to his own voice and said: "Where is it worth the prince to say this specially? Hongzhou has always been good, and there are many younger brothers." He took care of it."

The fourth elder brother laughed again.With his smile, Yin Qi actually felt much more secure.

Xu Shi has been a face controler since his last life. When he sees a beautiful person, he feels happy.At this moment, the fourth elder brother smiled, and he didn't feel so scared anymore, and the temperature of his whole body also rose-for a moment, he forgot how scary it was when the fourth elder brother squinted his eyes just now.

Hun'er who was out of the body also came back, and Yin Qi also calmed down, swallowed, and waited carefully for the fourth elder brother to say something.

I just heard him say: "Why don't you call me fourth brother? You call me Wang Ye now, I feel awkward."

Yin Qi hurriedly said: "In the past two years, my younger brother has grown older and knows the rules. The prince was a lot of naughty when I was young, so don't worry about it with Yin Qi."

He purposely spoke in a distant manner, lest the fourth elder brother force him to express his opinion.I really don't know where this fourth brother got offended, he was targeted by such a child.

The fourth elder brother didn't look angry, but just touched Yinqi's head again, and then said with a smile: "Even if we respect the rules, we are still a family. When there are no outsiders, you just call me fourth brother, and I can still be angry No? I just feel that we brothers are close, and I am too late to be happy."

It's over, this is the fourth elder brother's own person.

He even knew that Xing Nian was not an outsider of the fourth elder brother.

Yinqi didn't dare to make any excuses against the fourth elder brother's language skills, so he could only laugh and said, "Then Yinqi will be rude. Fourth elder brother can't use this matter as a lesson in the future and teach me."

The fourth elder brother just smiled and said, "Of course not."

~~~~~~~

Seeing the thirteenth elder brother stumbling out of the room with red eye circles and red nose, the fourth elder brother stood up immediately.

The two of them are brothers, so Yin Qi naturally wouldn't be ungrateful and disturb the time when brothers get along, and said with a smile: "Brother Thirteen is out, maybe the emperor is going to ask my younger brother to go in, I'll go to the door and talk to Li Dequan first .”

The fourth elder brother nodded as he walked in the direction of the thirteenth elder brother, but he didn't know if he heard Yin Qi's words.Xing Nian also followed Yin Qi and walked to Qingxi Bookstore from another road.

It wasn't until he was more than a dozen feet away from the fourth elder brother that Yin Qi dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and stroked his little heart who was still in shock.

What is meant by "not afraid of night owls barking, but afraid of night owls laughing", he had a good experience today.

The little eunuch at the door closed the curtain for him, and when he walked in, he saw Kangxi reclining on the kang, squinting his eyes and resting. Although he wasn't looking at him, Yinqi swallowed.

Hearing the sound of him entering the door, Kangxi opened his eyes, saw that it was Yinqi, smiled, and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say to ask your master to ask questions?"

Just now when Yinqi went out, he said that he was looking for Liu Tongxun to learn, but it was just an excuse to avoid the time when the courtiers reported to Kangxi.He really went to find Liu Tongxun, but Liu Tongxun was also busy at this time, and he just sat in the classroom and flipped through a few pages of the book.Then he went back to the garden again.

It was just a walk. He walked slowly and took nearly two hours.

At this time when Kangxi asked, Yinqi naturally couldn't say that he went for a walk, but only smiled: "Master Liu said that if you read the book a hundred times, you will see its meaning. He gave me a stack of books for me to read, and nothing else. explain."

Kangxi asked, "What book is it?"

Yinqi laughed and said, "It's just a collection of poems. Master Liu said that Yinqi was vulgar and not elegant."

When Kangxi heard this, he snorted and said, "He is so elegant! He is so elegant that his whole body is sore!"

This is Kangxi's father, he doesn't want to hear someone say that his son is not good, so he protects his shortcomings.It also makes people feel cute and a little funny.Yin Qi remembered that in his previous life, he heard people say that children, old children, and old people will become childlike in temper, and they need to be coaxed.

So he said: "Master Liu is also right. Yin Qi is the son of Huang Ama, how can he not even reciting poems correctly? If you say it, it will make people laugh."

Kangxi snorted again, and said, "You haven't had your seventh birthday this year, so it's too early to talk about poetry and songs! I see that you are doing well now. Could it be that you don't speak like those Han scholars?" If there are a few allusions in a sentence, is it vulgar? I have not seen many capable ones. My son, as long as he has the ability."

Yinqi is silent, isn't this the real educational philosophy of Kangxi?Although he himself has a serious sinicization, and all the sons he raised are well-read poems and books, the ultimate educational purpose and destination is to make them all capable.

He also really achieved this goal.These sons of Kangxi, among others, which one is not capable?

Yinqi didn't speak, Kangxi only thought that he had the intention of defending Liu Tongxun, and immediately snorted loudly, saying: "Don't follow Liu Tongxun, you also learned his sour tricks!"

Seeing Kangxi's jealous look, Yin Qi couldn't help laughing.He hurriedly comforted him and said: "My son is also a little tired of Master Liu teaching him all day long to teach me how to study well. My son only thinks that our Eight Banners will win the world immediately, and now even though the world is surrendering, we must not forget our roots. My son still likes it." Practice bow and horse riding and archery, and become a great general in the future, open up the territory for Huang Ama, and pacify the Siyi."

Kangxi laughed a few times, and said: "When your fourteenth brother wins and returns to court, our Qing Dynasty will have nothing to worry about."

Yinqi's eyes flickered, and he said, "The Emperor Ama explained geography to Yinqi that day, didn't he say that there is a large piece of land in the west?"

Kangxi laughed and said, "You have a lot of thoughts. But there are some barbaric lands over there. The people are uncivilized and drink blood like hair. They are not worthy of being the people of our Qing Dynasty. It is not worthwhile to fight to the west."

Yin Qi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

Kangxi looked at his expression and said with a smile: "Are you still a little unhappy? Do you like fighting so much? How come this is like your fourteenth brother. Forget it, you will figure it out yourself in the future."

After a pause, Kangxi said again: "Actually, it's good to read more poetry collections. People say that you have a poetic spirit in your stomach. Even if you like military affairs, you are still a prince and elder brother. You can't look like a martial artist. Or It's better to be elegant, and it's better to be elegant."

For a moment, he didn't know who he thought of again, and sighed.Yin Qi blinked at Kangxi, and Kangxi reached out to touch his head.

Yinqi remembered that when the fourth elder brother touched his head, it turned out that both father and son liked to touch people's heads.

Kangxi said: "It's like Rong Ruo who was beside me back then... Oh, Yin Qi doesn't know who he is, does he?"

Yinqi blinked and said hurriedly: "Why don't you know? His name is Nalan Xingde, and he is the number one talented scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Everyone praises him for his good writing. Leading soldiers is a rare character with both civil and military skills. I seem to have heard before that Concubine Hui is his younger sister? Then he must be good-looking."

Kangxi laughed amused by his flamboyant appearance, and said: "So you know him too, but what you know is only a half-tongue! He said he was the number one talented scholar in the Qing Dynasty, so how could he only know how to write lyrics? His government affairs It's also very good. It's a pity that he left early, and I haven't had time to use him. At that time, he was my bodyguard, walking in front of the imperial court, protecting my safety, and his workmanship is naturally good. Praise for both civil and military skills, I still think this word is not suitable for him."
