Breeze

Yin Qi also knew that what Hong Zhou said was true.Hongli has always been used to be better than Hongzhou in everything, but it was not he who was called into the palace, but Hongzhou, which made him even more competitive.

These two brothers, in the past two years, seem to be as harmonious as before, but the relationship between them is getting weaker and weaker.

Yin Qi sighed, patted Hong Zhou's hand, and said, "You really don't want to see him, so let's go first. Go see if Elder Sixteen is free, and beg him to take us out."

Hong Zhou nodded, put on a smiling face again, and said, "I know that Uncle 23 loves me. If you ask me, besides the prince and my mother, the closest person in this world should be Uncle 23."

Yin Qi laughed and said, "You are the only one who can flatter!"

~~~~~~~

The days in Rehe make people feel the most relaxed and happy.Perhaps it was because the sky on the grassland was high and the clouds were light, without the oppression of the capital, Yin Qi only felt that it would be really good if he could live so comfortably on the grassland for the rest of his life.

However, in September, Shengjia still had to return to Beijing, and Kangxi's schedule was never chaotic.

On the way back, Kangxi looked a little depressed.Yinqi couldn't help but think that it should be the end of the year when he goes back, next year will be Kangxi's 60th year, and next year will be Kangxi's death.

Seeing that year after year, the time of Kangxi's death in history is getting closer and closer, Yin Qi feels indescribably uncomfortable and complicated in his heart.

Every time he looks at Kangxi now, at the wrinkles on his face, age spots, and his increasingly cloudy eyes, he can't help but think that this emperor through the ages, every day he passes, is getting closer to death step.

This is not only the famous Emperor Kangxi in history, but also his father in this life...

Even if he can't be regarded as the real one, his father has always served and cared for him as a close elder all these years.He clearly knew the date of his death, but he could only keep his mouth shut. This kind of suffering was really uncomfortable.

Yinqi sat next to Kangxi, because Kangxi was dozing off with his eyes closed, he didn't make a sound, but just held an open book and looked out the car window, in a daze.

Then he heard the rustling of clothes, Kangxi moved a bit, opened his eyes, yawned, and said: "Last night I couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, who knows why I'm squinting today."

Li Dequan waited for Kangxi to sit down. Yinqi had already poured a cup of tea and handed it to Kangxi. He said with a smile, "Huang Ama should also pay attention to rest, don't be too tired. The Qing Dynasty will point to you as the backbone Woolen cloth."

Kangxi squinted his eyes and took a sip of hot tea, smiled, and said after a while: "I'm getting old too. In the future, don't I have to count on your brothers?"

Yinqi couldn't tell whether he was sincere or tempting, so he could only reply vaguely: "My brothers can share their worries for Huang Ama, but my son... well, I was reprimanded by Master Liu a few days ago."

Kangxi smiled and patted his head, and said, "Are you blaming yourself? Or are you taking the opportunity to sue Liu Tongxun? Such a dejected appearance doesn't look like my little 23."

Yinqi hurriedly said: "I didn't complain. It's just that I was greedy for horse racing that day, and forgot to endorse the book, which made Master Liu lose his temper. Now I still feel guilty."

Kangxi asked: "Then can you make up the engineering class later?"

Yinqi said: "It's all made up."

Kangxi said: "That's good. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are considered sensible. Remember to work hard in the future, and don't make your master angry again."

Yin prayed, and Kangxi asked again: "What book are you reading?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take the book in Yinqi's hand, looked at the cover, and there were several words of the Lenga Sutra written in Tibetan, Kangxi immediately turned gloomy, and asked Yinqi: "Where did this scripture come from? "

Yinqi thought for a while, and said: "It was left behind when the living Buddha left, and it was said to be given to my son. My son returned to Huang Ama afterwards."

Kangxi scolded: "You can't read your Four Books and Five Classics, but it looks like this! No wonder Liu Tongxun reprimanded you! Put this book away! Don't read it again in the future!"

Then he handed the book to Li Dequan, but it was about to be confiscated.

Yin Qi didn't dare to say anything at this time, but just watched the obviously antique scriptures being received by Li Dequan into Kangxi's bookcase.Anyway, he was unlucky to pick up a book and it turned out to be a Buddhist scripture.Could it be that he really had a predestined relationship with Buddha?

Kangxi looked at Yinqi's shyness, and sighed again: "Okay, don't pretend to be wronged in front of me. When you rest for a while, you can go out and play with Hong Zhou."

Yinqi put on a happy look and said with a smile: "My son obeys the order!"

Seeing that it was noon, and they were rushing to the palace, Yin Qi and Li Dequan helped Kangxi into the palace, and ran out with a smile on their faces.He also heard Kangxi laughing and talking to Li Dequan behind him, and Yin Qi knew that he had entertained Kangxi again.

I saw an elder brother just after leaving the house. It wasn’t the fourth elder brother who was busy with official duties and complicated things, and he was not the thirteenth elder brother who was responsible for Kangxi’s security. elder brother.

But it was Elder Brother Twelve.

Yin Qi pretended to be cute and saluted him, but Elder Brother Twelve looked at him a little hesitantly and anxiously.

After waving Yin Qi to get up, Elder Brother Twelfth asked, "Brother 23 is from the Emperor?"

Yinqi nodded, and said: "Yes. The emperor thought that I was wandering around him and disturbed him, so he kicked me out."

Elder Brother Twelve could understand the meaning in his voice, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Your Majesty is not happy right now?"

Yin Qi said with a smile: "You will probably be angry when you see me, but it's time for Brother Twelve to go over and say hello."

He knew why Brother Twelve wanted to ask Kangxi how he was feeling, and why he had such a look on his face.Regarding the succession, although everyone felt that Kangxi was going to succeed the twelfth elder brother.But it has been several months, and Kangxi always refuses to make orders, just hangs people like this, can't get up or down, which makes people worry.

Now Elder Brother Twelve himself is willing to succeed Prince Zhuang and get a prince's son, which is the best way out for him in the future.That's why I was in a hurry to see Kangxi now to settle the matter.

It's just that Elder Brother Twelve is a bit unintelligent.Kangxi is about to succeed him, which is regarded as disregarding the relationship between father and son, and the twelfth elder brother can't say anything; but if the twelfth elder brother asks Kangxi to succeed him, in Kangxi's eyes, what else can he do besides being unfilial? Evaluation?

No matter how impatient he is at this moment, he can only wait honestly.Otherwise, it will only fail.

It's not like Elder Brother Twelve doesn't know this, but he's afraid that he has been knocked out of his head by the title of Prince Zhuang.Yin Qi watched, since he was able to reach the gate of the palace, even if he went back this time, he would walk in one time or another.

Sure enough, Elder Brother Twelve cupped his hands and said, "Go ahead, brother 23, I won't delay you. I'll go in and pay my respects to the Emperor."

I hope you're really just going to say hello.Yin Qi watched him go in and walked away slowly.

Elder Brother Twelve, at this time, doesn't he know why Kangxi didn't issue the imperial edict for succession?

Ever since he was summoned to Yujia's side, he has been far worse than the original An Sheng.

Talking and laughing with the fourth elder brother - originally they just went out together to do a few errands for sacrifices, and brothers all know that the twelfth elder brother has always been afraid of the fourth elder brother; and the ninth elder brother is as close as a brother born to a mother - ——It seems that the two of them fell in love at first sight suddenly. What the ninth elder brother said to look down on the twelve elder brothers was blown away by the strong wind; The indifference between people seems to be the illusion of others.

Among the factions fighting for the position in the court, except for the prince, who did he have contact with?

The original low-key, actually seems to be acting in general.

Power really makes people dizzy, and they don't even know who they are and what they want.

~~~~~~~

This time back to the capital, Kangxi lived in the Forbidden City for a few days.When Yinqi returned to the West Fifth Institute, two little Sulas in the courtyard were replaced. Bixiang, who stayed in Beijing to guard the house, said that the original two had irregular hands and feet and were lazy, so they drove them away.When I returned to Empress Defei, I changed these two.Yin Qi nodded and said nothing.

Naturally, Hong Zhou came to live in Yin Qi's courtyard again, and the people around him also changed, Zhao Hui still followed him, but Zhang Man Man disappeared, and a young eunuch named Lin Qing, who was fifteen or sixteen, was replaced.

Yin Qi looked, this Lin Qing was better than Zhao Hui.Looking at the low-browed and pleasing to the eye, it was very quiet.Hong Zhou asked him to come over to greet Yin Qi, and Yin Qi casually took a silver pouch from his purse and threw it to him, saying: "From now on, I will follow Fifth Elder Brother and serve you well. Your reward is indispensable." .”

Ignoring what Lin Qing said when he thanked him, Yin Qi said to Hong Zhou: "I haven't seen you for a few days, is Prince Fujin all right? Where's the fourth elder brother?"

Hong Zhou smiled and said, "They are all fine. Why didn't Uncle 23 ask me?"

Yin Qi also smiled and said: "You can stand in front of me so well, it looks good, what else do I ask?"

Hong Zhou frowned on purpose, and said, "It's just a few days, but Uncle 23 won't hurt me anymore. Cough, I really feel very uncomfortable."

Yin Qi slapped him with a smile, and said, "Spoof!"

Then he taught me a lesson: "It's better to study hard. Master Liu will also ask you when you go back to Shang's study tomorrow. He has always been the most strict. If you can't answer it at that time, he will beat you and punish you for copying." Book, I will not beg for mercy for you!"

Hong Zhou only smiled and said: "Uncle 23 said so at this time, won't he still want to speak well for his nephew when it's over?"

Yin Qi was about to say something, but when he heard the commotion outside and the sound of gongs, his face became serious, and he said: "This is the imperial decree, let's stand up soon."

He took off his hat and stood up. The room was silent.It wasn't until there was no sound outside that Yin Qi relaxed again, but he didn't dare to sit down immediately, but whispered to Hong Zhou: "Who is this decree to? Why is it so grand?"

Hong Zhou said: "My nephew just came back today, there is no one to tell."

Yinqi thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Could it be something about Hongxi? But it doesn't look like...what's Hongxi involved now?"

Hong Zhou laughed softly: "It's none of our business anyway, what's bothering Uncle 23?"

Yinqi laughed and said: "The people who live here are either my brothers or my nephews. I don't worry about it. People say I'm cold. You are kind enough to push me to ignore it."

He just said that, and then he relaxed.He beckoned Su Yao over, and said, "Go outside and see if anyone in the yard has seen it, and where did the angel go. Don't inquire about it in such detail, and remember to avoid it."

Su Yao responded, then went out, came back not long after, lowered her head and said: "Master, little Sula who was watering at the door just now saw that the angel went to the yard of the Seventeenth Master, and the leader was the Sixteenth Master. After a while, the voice of the decree was faintly heard."

Elder Seventeen has been ill on and off for more than a year, and neither is getting better nor too bad.But because of his body, Kangxi didn't have much work for him.Apart from going out with Brother Sixteen all day long, he stayed in the West Fifth Institute. It was not unusual for the person who announced the order to find someone to receive the order when he arrived in his yard.

It's just that there is something important, Kangxi will find Elder Seventeen, and so solemnly ask another prince to be an imperial envoy to announce the decree?Yin Qi has lived so long, and he has only seen two more grand battles than this.One was the declaration of the empress dowager to the princes during the funeral, and the other was the last canonization of the sixth Dalai Lama.It's about time.

After pondering for a while, Yinqi suddenly had an idea in his mind, and only felt that Kangxi's edict was about this.

Yin Qi hurriedly said to Su Yao: "Go and see again, is the angel gone?"

Su Yao went out, and came back after a while this time, and said, "The Sixteenth Lord didn't come out. Just now I saw the father-in-law who followed behind the Sixteenth Lord, it was Grandpa Xing Nian, the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The servant girl looked very happy when he saw the smile on his face."

Yin Qi nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go and see Elder Seventeen. After I came back, I haven't seen my elder brother except for the time when I went to deliver things."

~~~~~~~

Arriving at the courtyard of the Seventeenth Brother, the Sixteenth Brother was still there, seeing that he was wearing a solemn court dress, just like a regular imperial envoy proclaiming the edict.

The sixteenth elder brother was supporting the seventeenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother Yinli had mixed expressions of joy and sadness on his face.Yinqi called out cautiously: "Hello, Brother Seventeen? Yinqi came to greet Brother Seventeen."

Yinli glanced at Yinqi, nodded, and said, "It's Yinqi, come in and sit down."

After sitting in the room, Elder Sixteen sent the eunuch Zhao Shun'er beside him to guard the gate, and then he dared to show a consoling look, and said to Elder Seventeen: "This is not a bad thing, anyway, it is you who have lost the benefits. of."

Yin Qi knew that the inference just now was probably correct.

At this time, it can be confirmed that seeing the changes in history with his own eyes, Yin Qi only felt his heart pounding, and stared at Brother Seventeen intently.Right now, he just wants to ask straightforwardly, is it...

Brother Sixteen saw his expression, shook his head secretly to Yin Qi, and mouthed: "I'll talk to you later."

Unexpectedly, Elder Seventeen saw it, and he smiled wryly.

Elder Seventeen looked at Yinqi's concerned expression, then at Elder Sixteen's frowning face, and sighed: "I can feel better now that you two brothers can accompany me."

Then he said to Yinqi: "Brother 23 guessed it, right? The emperor gave me... the succession to Prince Zhuang!"
