Chapter 24 Brothers (2)
Yinzhen knew in his heart that the prince was afraid that he was already very cautious about him, and he also blamed his actions for being too silly. Therefore, he secretly reminded himself that he needed to be remedied. He knew very well that the wood was so beautiful that the wind would destroy it. If he was favored by the Emperor Ama now and would definitely become the target of attack by other brothers, he should keep a low profile and get attention too early. The result might be like the prince and the eighth prince in the future, he would be eliminated early.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen bowed heavily to the ground and said, "The master has always taught the sons, saying that the emperor has gifts, but the sons must not give up, but the sons dared to ask the emperor and the prince to take back the reward."
Kangxi was a little surprised, while a sneer appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth.
Before Kangxi could ask, Yinzhen said again: "Emperor, I cannot be greedy for the achievements of heaven. In fact, today I am a little bit miserable. At that time, I was blank. I only saw the musket on Nuomin's waist and my mind became hot. In fact, I was scared afterwards. If I hurt the emperor, I would definitely die. Moreover, I felt that the prince and my elder brother were right. I was so reckless. I should really punish me."
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said, "Today, whether you are unintentional or not, you have made great achievements. However, I have just asked Nuomin. You have only fired a few guns before and actually dared to fire a gun at that moment. Although your courage is commendable, you are too reckless and you must work hard to cultivate your nature."
Yinzhen hurriedly said, "I can't save it. I have always envied the second brother of the prince for his calmness and leisure, but I have never been able to do it." Speaking of this, Yinzhen scratched his head and then added, "I must ask the prince for advice."
Kangxi glanced at the crown prince, and saw that the crown prince's expression was slightly slowed because of Yinzhen's words. He smiled and said, "Well, I will defeat my merits and demerits, and I will not reward or punish me. However, Yinreng, I ordered you to take more control of Yinzhen in the future, so as to be a master. I will teach you by words and deeds. Be sure to urge Yinzhen to be more calm."
The two brothers "stand" at the same time responded to Kangxi's Ling Yu. However, when they turned around and left, the two brothers were completely different.
Kangxi's idea was very simple, to create opportunities so that the prince and Yinzhen could get closer and be together, and that brothers could break the gold.
But the prince felt very uncomfortable. He knew that although Kangxi no longer insisted on rewarding Yinzhen, the weight of Yinzhen in Kangxi's heart was no longer comparable to that before. He turned out to be loved by thousands of people, but now although the emperor did not say it clearly, in the past two days, he had already become dissatisfied with his performance, which made it difficult for him to face it calmly.
But Yinreng also understood that Kangxi had a deep expectation for himself. Given the deep affection for the emperor and the Queen Mother's favor for him, his status is still very stable. However, Yinreng had never considered that one day the position of the crown prince would not be guaranteed, but now he is a little worried.
Yinreng remembered that his uncle, grandfather Soetu had previously hinted that he wanted to make brothers inside and court officials outside. At that time, he didn't understand these people and thought that as long as he could get the holy heart, why worry that the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony a hundred years later was not his.
At present, the eldest prince is older, but he acts vulgarly. Kangxi has just won the title of Beizi. The third brother Yinzhi is cowardly and his mother is average. He may not be able to become a great man in the future. Even as his own wings, he may not have much effect. The fifth brother, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother were just born, which is not worthy of trouble. The fourth brother Yinzhen, although his biological mother is only a concubine, his adoptive mother is indeed Concubine Yi of Tong Jia. Since his empress passed away, Concubine Tong is the most noble in the palace, and it is not impossible to be named Empress. Yinzhen has this backstage, so it is worthy of his repeated consideration. In addition, Yinzhen's lottery today is a strong opponent for him. Therefore, there are only two options for Yinzhen, one is to win, and the other is to hostility.
If you choose to be hostile, Yinreng is not rich. As long as Kangxi is dissatisfied, everything can be thrown away with just one word from Emperor Ama. What's more, Kangxi has the pillow style of the Tong Concubine, which has many unfavorable factors for him.
If you choose to win, it will first be in line with Kangxi's wishes. Otherwise, Yinzhen would not be allowed to follow him, but you don't know what Yinzhen thought. Although this younger brother is young, he is a "small man and a big devil". His maturity even surpasses him. He doesn't know what he is thinking. He speaks and does things and shows his scheming. He really takes it as a wing, and he is worried about attracting wolves into the house. What's more, he and the eldest brother joined forces to smash him a black brick, and at this moment he is even more unsure of Yinzhen's thoughts.
However, if this knot can be untied and Yinzhen can also help him with peace of mind, he can use many of Yinzhen's advantages to strengthen his position and make a lot of profit.
After repeated weighing, the prince decided to make a test later and then consider how he should face this fourth brother in the future.
Yinzhen also had a lot of thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant. He had to find a way to eliminate the prince's vigilance. He knew that there were a group of "invisible" princes behind the prince, such as the minister Maertu, and the title of the prince was decided early, and all the officials in the court regarded him as the crown prince, like the cabinet minister Li Guangdi. He was probably unwise to be the enemy of the prince tree.
Besides, the prince's biggest arm assisted Soetu is very powerful. He also serves as the minister in charge of the palace guards. He is really worried that they may lose their lives. In this case, the prince who died shortly after he was born is a lesson in the past. As long as they get some clothes dyed with smallpox and stuff them around them, they will probably die. Although in modern times, they have received epidemic prevention for cowpox, they cannot guarantee that they have this immune function at present.
Therefore, the best choice at present should be tolerant. If the prince can accept himself, it is definitely the best choice, but you cannot get too close to avoid being labeled as a princeling, otherwise you will be left alone in the future. In this way, being close and separated is the purpose. Regardless of inside and outside, respecting the prince like a half-monarch is the principle of avoiding angering Kangxi, and others will adapt to the situation.
The two brothers reached a consensus almost at the same time.
After leaving the imperial tent, the prince spoke first and said, "How is the injury on the fourth brother's back? I have the best medicine here, so I will take it for me to take it to my fourth brother."
Yinzhen thought to himself that this guy is really thick-skinned and even mentioned this. But he replied: "My brother, Prince Xie, has become very neat in his care."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the prince's face and said, "There are no foreign ministers here, so you don't need to be so irrelevant, just call me the second brother."
Yinzhen immediately looked "popular" and thanked his second brother. That brother, no, I will call you the prince in front of others according to etiquette. When only our brothers are the only ones, I will call you the second brother. In fact, these rules really make people feel suffocated."
The prince smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fourth brother, are you angry with your second brother?"
