Chapter 93
Yinzhen chatted with Concubine De for a while and then knelt down. When the prince met with his mother, the content of his speech was recorded by a full-time eunuch, and there were very strict rules. He did not want to violate the ban, which left a bad impression on Kangxi.
Not far from the Yonghe Palace, a little eunuch came over to the face. Seeing Yinzhen knelt on the side of the road, Yinzhen didn't care, but when he was about to pass by him, the little eunuch said softly: "Fourth Master, the slave is Xiao Shunzi, the apprentice of Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li asked the slave to tell him that the Thirteenth Master was sick."[.]
Yinzhen slowed down a little, took a few steps before nodding his head slightly, and then left. Thirteen was sick, what disease? Why didn’t he hear anyone mention it? It’s normal for the starlings and the others to not mention it, why didn’t even see the fourth brother mention it? What’s even more puzzled is what Li Dequan means to hand him this message?
Remind yourself to see him? Or is Kangxi very concerned about Thirteen's illness? What's wrong with him? Yinzhen was lazy and thought too much. Thirteen is a character, a heroic and righteous person, and he is not particular about details. What's even more rare is that he is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and he is the same teacher as him. Even if he can't win him over, he will try his best to make friends with him. After leaving the palace, he turned directly to Wangfujing Street.
Wangfujing Street, Shuaifu Garden, the Thirteenth Master’s residence. Although Yinxiang has not been awarded a title, this residence is also in the specifications of Beizi. Yinzhen’s arrival made Yinxiang quite happy. After Yinzhen saw the ceremony, he bowed and smiled, “When will the 14th brother come back? I have a leg injury, so I won’t be polite to you.”
"The Fourteenth returned to Beijing yesterday." Yinzhen said, and asked strangely again, "Okay, why did you hurt your leg? Just like Fourteenth, you're shocked?"
"That's not." Yinxiang laughed, and stood up from the recliner's one leg and moved to the chair to sit down. "The imperial physician said it was a crane knee wind, which was a white bubble on his knee, which broke into a sore, and then his knee was swollen, which was said to be caused by dampness and toxins."
Yinxiang looked indifferent, but Yinzhen was frightened and shocked. The crane knee wind recovered very slowly. In the next ten years, Yinxiang rarely appeared, and some people said that he was banned for ten years. Is it because of this? I remember that he was only in his forties when he died, and he seemed to vomit blood. It was a bit like tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a terminal illness in this era. Could it be that it is caused by this disease?
Seeing Yinzhen getting out of sight, Yinxiang couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't call him. Yinzhen came to his senses after a while, "It's just the crane knee wind? Are there any other discomforts? Do you cough?"
Yinxiang couldn't help but feel surprised and shook his head slightly, "How come, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I have learned about medical skills?"
Yinzhen smiled unconsciously. The two of them had the same master since childhood and knew each other very well. The question was a bit abrupt. He hurriedly concealed, "Fourteenth in Shanghai, met one person, and his father also suffered from crane knee wind. After a few years, he developed tuberculosis. The thirteenth brother is careless. Let the imperial physician examine you carefully and take precautions for this disease."
Seeing that Yinzhen was talking seriously, Yinxiang felt nervous, "I thanked the concern of the 14th brother, and the 13th brother will thank him first." As he said that, the topic changed, "How is the 14th brother's navy?"
Yinzhen knew that all the troops were placed in Shanghai and there was nothing to hide in Shanghai, so he smiled and said, "I haven't seen a warship yet, but the soldiers have collected 4,000 and are currently training."
"I really envy you fourteen." Yinxiang sighed softly. Since the deposed prince, his position in Kangxi's mind has plummeted. In June this year, Kangxi even submitted a letter to the three people of Yinzhi, Yinxiang and Yinyou: "Yinxiang is not a diligent and loyal person. If you do not take the constraints, you will have trouble and must be guarded." This made him feel even more depressed. Now he has such a strange disease and is even more miserable.
Seeing Yinxiang's appearance, Yinzhen was quite moved and comforted, "Brother Thirteen can give birth to a tiger and leopard. Just your body, how can you do this little disease? It will take at least four or five years for my navy to take shape. At that time, I will ask the emperor to help me and let us go to the sea to relax."
The two have different camps, but their relationship is quite good. Among the brothers, if you want to marching and fighting, except for the boss who was banned, there are only two of them. When Yinxiang heard this, he knew that the possibility was very small, but he was still quite shocked. He smiled happily and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, since the fourteenth brother established the navy, I have wanted to go to the sea to relax. Then I remember to bring the thirteenth brother together."
"Don't worry, brother Thirteen, just keep up with peace of mind." Yinzhen said and smiled, handing over a silver note, "The Fourteenth heard the news in the palace and rushed over. The Thirteenth brother did not have a title. This is the Fourteenth's wish."
Although Yinxiang is not short of money, he can't bear to ignore his wishes. He signaled to the people around him to take it. He smiled and said, "The 13th Brother hasn't thanked you yet. This time I thanked you in person. I haven't been so happy for a long time. You are a busy person. It's rare to have a drink with me before leaving."
In the backyard of Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince Yinreng was also drinking, but he drank alone, so naturally he was not drinking alone. He drank flower wine, and drank and enjoyed dance, while watching erotic dance.
With Kangxi's favor, his prince's prestige was once again erected, and a large number of civil servants and generals began to gather around him, and two confidants, Shitku and Nierta, who had been sent out for more than a year, also returned to the capital.
Shitku and Nierta traveled to the northwest Mongolian tribes for more than a year. They successfully instigated and convinced the sons of five tribes who had no hope of inheriting titles but were ambitious. They could summon seven thousand elite cavalry in just a few days. This was a surprise soldier and could turn the world around at critical moments.
In the capital, he had the infantry commander Heqi, the Minister of Justice Qi Shiwu, the Minister of Justice of War, the Minister of Man of War, the Minister of Dutu, E Shan, Yatu, the Deputy General Wuli, Yang Dai and other confidants. Outside the capital, he had all used money to secretly bribe a large number of middle and lower-level military officers. If Kangxi had not had the reputation of being too high and the power of Lao Ba and the others were too strong, he would have been unable to hold back. At present, he had everything, and he only lacked the east wind - an appropriate opportunity and excuse.
It was dark early in winter. When Yinzhen came out of the Thirteenth Mansion, it was already dark and he drank some wine. Yinzhen was unwilling to sit in the sedan chair, so he walked back all the way and walked out of Longfu Temple Street. He ran into Haishan and Longkodo. When Haishan saw that it was Yinzhen, he hurriedly came forward to congratulate, "Fourth brother, it's such a coincidence today. Congratulations on being promoted to the prince."
Longkodo hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yinzhen. When Yinzhen saw that the two of them were getting together again, he couldn't help but feel funny and asked with a smile: "It's late, where are you going?"
"It's not the end of the year. Prince Zhuang ordered a show. We were going to join in the fun." Haishan said, but he was thinking about the matter in his heart and invited him enthusiastically. "You are idle when you go back, so go join in the fun together. Prince Zhuang must know that I didn't invite you, so I have to beat me up."
