Common child

Chapter 36

Because of Yin Zhi's pre-departure arrangements, Yin Qi naturally didn't have to gather with his four elder brothers to participate in politics, and the small life returned to the past leisurely.

But within a few days, he felt that something was wrong, because he found that he was not interested in anything. Although he had always been lazy, he was always interested in eating, drinking and having fun. No new gadgets could wake him up in the slightest.

After ten days like this, he finally figured out why he was so abnormal. It turned out that it was because there was no Yinzhi who was always with him by his side.

He couldn't help sighing, according to the southern tour route he set for Huang Ama, it would take three months at the fastest to come back. This is the first time since their rebirth that they have been separated for such a long time. Years of being together day and night has already made him used to it. Without Yinzhi by his side, he is not used to the sudden parting now.

But there is nothing he can do if he is not used to it, he can only endure it, and his unaccustomedness is probably temporary, and it should be fine in a few days.

However, with the passage of time, Yinqi's unaccustomed behavior could not be eliminated at all, and instead turned into irritability. He realized that there was a problem with his reaction in a trance, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The difference between brothers would cause miss It's normal, but it's strange to think that it affects the daily life like me, not to mention that Yinzhi just accompanied Huang Ama on the southern tour, which is a disguised play, and it's not a dangerous activity like going to the battlefield, so I tossed and turned like this What is going on?

The fifth elder brother's brain, which has always been too lazy to work, had to work, but before he could reach a conclusion, a major event happened that was enough to shake the court.

The emperor was assassinated in Jiangning!

Yinqi's face changed drastically when he received the secret letter from the palace, and he immediately dressed up and entered the palace hoping to get the most accurate news. When he was sitting in the carriage, his hands and feet were almost cold, and his knuckles turned white when he clenched his fist , this sudden news made his mind go blank, and he could only keep echoing those two sentences.

——Huang Ama was assassinated, so what about Yinzhi?

——Is Yinzhi injured?

At the gate of the palace, I met Yinzhen who had also received the news. The two of them had the same dignified expressions. They nodded to each other as a greeting, and then they walked quickly to the side hall of Qianqing Palace. When they got there, Prince Yu and Prince Gong did not Some clansmen and aristocrats had already stood there early, and everyone looked worried. When they saw the two elder brothers, they rushed up to greet them, and quickly exchanged the news they got.

After a while, the announcement sounded, and the crown prince Bingli County King and Erbeile walked in together. Everyone hurriedly saluted, and the crown prince waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to be too polite, and then he opened his mouth solemnly.

"Huang Ama's assassination in Jiangning was caused by a severe drought in Gaoyou in April. Huang Ama's southern tour also had the meaning of disaster relief, but the severe drought this time was beyond expectations, and it stretched over more than ten surrounding counties. , and the memorial submitted to the imperial court was obviously whitewashing the peace and embezzling the money for disaster relief. Huang Ama was furious and wanted to deal with the local officials immediately. There were anti-Qing forces left in Jiangsu, and one of the officials' confidantes was precisely The rebellious party took the opportunity to incite the corrupt officials who were so frightened that they had obviously lost their composure, so they made a move to instigate the victims to riot and assassinate the emperor."

Everyone took a deep breath, actually involving the rebellious party?I'm afraid there will be another bloodbath in the future.

"Then how is the emperor now?" Prince Yu has always had a good relationship with Kangxi, and asked quickly.

"The prefect of Jiangning and Cao Yin arrived in time with their troops, and quickly arrested all the rebels. However, because the rebels were assassinated among the victims, Huang Ama has always loved the people like a child, and finally suffered. The injury is nothing more than life-threatening, and now he is recuperating in the Jiangning Cao Mansion." Cheng Hu said.

"The assassination of Huang Ama should not be publicized, otherwise it will easily shake the hearts of the people. I have issued a series of orders. From now on, martial law will be imposed in the capital. All important officials in the palace are not allowed to move around except for necessary business. The palace is not allowed to pass news at will. The internal guards and imperial guards are under the command of Erbeile for the time being, I hope everyone present will remember to take care of themselves, or else don’t blame the lonely and impolite.” The prince said solemnly, the warning in his tone could be clearly heard by everyone, which made people shudder .

"Follow the prince's order." Everyone hurriedly accepted the order. They must know that the assassination of the emperor can shake people's hearts and cause social turmoil at any time. As long as you obey orders obediently, it's better not to mess around with petty tricks.

Then the prince asked the clan to retire, leaving only five brothers.

Yinqi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Prince, apart from Huang Ama, Yin... are the younger brothers injured?" He was speaking to the prince, but he looked at Chenghu.

Cheng Hu was silent for a while, Yin Qi's heart skipped a beat when he saw his appearance, and his hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help shaking.

"At that time, only Yinzhi was with Huang Ama. He was stabbed in the right chest and lost a lot of blood. He waited for the reinforcements to arrive. Although his life is not in danger now, he is unconscious. The other younger brothers were all in the station at that time. He was not injured." Cheng Hu looked at Yin Qi's instantly pale face, and felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

Yin Qi only felt his eyes turn black, and he swayed for a while. He immediately imagined that Yin Zhi was covered in blood and had a big hole in his right chest. Yinzhen beside him quickly held his hand and comforted him in a low voice.

"It's okay. There is an imperial doctor Liu who went with me on the southern tour. He is best at trauma. The sixth brother should just be in a coma caused by excessive blood loss, and he will wake up soon."

"Fourth is right, fifth, don't worry too much." Yinfei quickly agreed, the relationship between the fifth and the sixth is really good, seeing that one injured scares the other, those who don't know think that something happened to the fifth Woolen cloth.

"Yinqi, if you are like this, I dare not let you go to Jiangning with Yinzhen." The prince was gently squeezed by Chenghu's elbow, and he also spoke quickly.

Only then did Yinqi force himself to calm down, looked at the prince firmly and said: "I'm fine, I can go to Jiangning with my fourth brother." He had to see with his own eyes that the man was fine before he could calm down.

"Well, four beiles and five beiles, I order you all to go to Jiangning, confirm with your own eyes that Huang Ama is fine and assist the prefect of Jiangning to deal with the aftermath, until Huang Ama orders you to return to Beijing and come back together. I will go back to the mansion to clean up. Today Leave immediately at night."

"Yes, I take orders." The two took orders and left, leaving behind the crown prince, Chenghu and Yinyi.

"Prince, do you need to inform the younger brother in Jingzhong?" Yinfei thought for a while and asked, since something happened to his father, a son should know about it.

The crown prince looked at Cheng Hu and signaled him to make a decision. Cheng Hu pondered for a while, then shook his head, and said, "For the time being, I don't want to know. Except for the old eighth who is more stable, the younger brothers in Beijing are either too escaped or too cautious. Small, after all, the matter is of great importance. If there are too many people talking about it, it is better to block the news first, and let them go to serve the sick one by one after Huang Ama returns to Beijing. I will not blame Huang Ama if I want to come. But Yin, you will wait a while Go to the Wuchen Temple on the outskirts of Beijing and tell Yinhu about this, and ask him to come back to the palace, but I didn’t ask anyone to call him just now in order not to waste time when the incident happened.”

It turned out that before September [-]th, when Guanyin was born, Yinhu dreamed about Concubine Liang, and she felt something, so she asked the prince to go to the Wuchen Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to fast and recite sutras for her deceased mother for three months. It seems that being infected by Yinzhen is very respectful of the way of Buddhism, and the prince will accept it when he sees his filial piety. Now that something like this happened, it is better to let people come back.

Yinfei naturally had no objection, and when he saw that the two of them had no further orders, he also resigned and left.

After Yinzhen and Yinqi returned to the mansion, they immediately asked people to take care of everything, left the capital before the city gate was closed, and rushed to Jiangning as quickly as possible.

Because Kangxi's own kung fu was also practiced, he only stabbed his left shoulder, and the wound was deep, but his life was not harmed. Therefore, when they arrived at Cao's mansion, Kangxi looked a little unhappy, but he was in good spirits. Very good.

Then there was a lot of inquires, Kangxi was not young after all, and he was tired soon, so he confessed to hand over the matter to Yinzhen and let them retire.

Yin Qi was thinking of going to see Yin Zhi, but was held back by Yin Zhen, who had a strong sense of responsibility. He said that he would first go to the prefect of Jiangning to find out the situation. It's a big problem, there is a matter of priority, in short, Balabala made a lot of reasons to stun Yinqi, and when he came back to his senses, he was already interviewing the officials.

Yinqi had no choice but to hold back his impatience and assist Yinzhen in making decisions. It took him all night to finally get all the important things done. He left quickly, so quickly that it was impossible to see that he had stayed up all night, which made Yinzhen feel that he could squeeze the fifth younger brother well in the future.

Not to mention that Yin Qi knows whether he will be miserable in the future, even if he knows now, he is unwilling to pay attention to it, and now all he thinks about is to see Yin Zhi and see if he is well.

Just turned around the corridor but ran into Yinyou who was going to greet Kangxi. The other party obviously didn't expect to see him here, so he was stunned for a moment and then walked over with a face full of surprise.

"Fifth brother? Is it really you? How did you come? When did you come?"

Yinqi was also stunned for a moment, then grabbed Yinyou's hand and asked repeatedly: "I was ordered to come with my fourth brother, and I just arrived last night. How is Yinzhi now? The news from Jingzhong said that he... ...unconscious, really?" After speaking, his voice trembled.

There was a hint of sadness on Yinyou's face, and Yinqi was very worried when he saw it, "Sixth brother was seriously injured, it would have been nice if I had been by Huang Ama's side that day, but Imperial Physician Liu is very skilled in medicine, he said Sixth brother is fine, and he can wake up today, fifth brother, you came just in time, so don't worry too much."

Yinqi breathed a sigh of relief, Yinyou saw that he couldn't hide his eagerness and made an excuse to go first, Yinqi said goodbye to him and hurried to Yinzhi's room door.

Without saying a word, he opened the door and went in.
