so

Yinhu followed Yinreng all the way into Yuqing Palace, the servants everywhere in the palace knelt down, but they were orderly.Yinhu is also a frequent visitor to Yuqing Palace, she always visits once a month, probably the most among all the princes.Yinhu went in familiarly, waited for Yinrong to sit down, and then sat down.

Yinfeng didn't bother to be polite, so he asked someone to bring out some snacks, sent out all the servants in the house, and said, "Xiaoba, do you have something to tell me?"

Yinhu also laughed: "Obviously the crown prince summoned me, but I'm still muttering in my heart."

Yinreng casually leaned back on the chair, and relaxed his usual airs: "There is no one else here, so why be so cautious. I don't like you like this either," then pouted, "I just saw you cum Have two hundred arrows, right? You must be hungry, eat some snacks. How can you work so hard on the first day, toss and get sick, and it’s not the old ancestors and your mother who feel sorry for you when you look back."

Yinhu also relaxed after hearing this, stretched out his hand to rub his shoulders, and said: "My brother thanked my second brother for your concern. My brother has a strong body since he was a child, how could he get sick so easily."

Yinfeng took out a few notes from his bosom, and said, "Did you remember all this? I don't believe that your brain was really kicked by a donkey. You must have something to say."

Yinhu didn't even look at it, knowing that those notes must have fallen into Yinrong's hands through Rongbao, he took a piece of snack and stuffed it in his mouth, picked up the tea again, took a sip, and said: "My brother wants to Tell brother about Tang Bin."

Yinfeng asked: "You want him? I can understand Dai Zi, but Tang Bin..."

Yinhu hurriedly pushed his hand: "No, no, no, Yinhu doesn't want it, I just want to ask, does the second brother want it?" Yinhu knows very well that it is not easy to change Yinhu.The reason why Yinfeng was able to become what he was later is nothing more than one thing, the burden is too heavy.The pressure he endured was even more than the rest of the princes combined.Therefore, Yinfeng couldn't bear it, he needed indulgence in his private life, he needed to whip others to vent, and he even needed to have sex with a man.Yinhu didn't know about it before, but in this life, from the first time his second brother supervised the country in 23 years to now when he is about to leave the cabinet to give lectures, Yinhu has always stood at the place closest to him.Even though what the second brother did was brutal, it was not incomprehensible.Because of this, Yinhu thought over and over again before deciding to have a good talk with Yinrong about Tang Bin.

Yinfeng is also a smart person, he is transparent at all, and he doesn't shy away from Yinhu, saying: "Gu really didn't expect that this Tang Bin is said to have burned a lot of scripts in the local area. , even Neo Confucianism, is about to decline now, such a person, the emperor actually likes it! Such an old thing, let him compile a book is to look down on him." He said a little angrily, "It's okay to tell you, Khan Ama He said he was going to build Zhan Shifu for me. Judging from the transfers in the past few days, Tang Bin may not only want to be my master, but also join Zhan Shifu. But the problem is, if I don’t want him, I can’t refuse. .”

Yinhu was very satisfied with what he heard, and Yinrong's willingness to tell him such a thing was the first step.Yinhu doesn't want to be a steadfast princeling, but the current situation is like this, just like he didn't want to mess with the elder brother in his last life, but in the end he had to do it as a last resort.I have to say that the current crown prince is much stronger than the elder brother.If the second elder brother can't be the crown prince, I'm afraid that none of the brothers can do it, even he himself is not sure that he can be better than the second elder brother.Yinfeng talked more about these complaints, so that he had a place to vent his emotions, and he would not easily send out slaves, whip the clan, and indulge in excesses.

Seeing that Yinhu was just listening without speaking, Yinrong suddenly remembered something and asked, "How do you know?"

Only then did Yinhu say: "A few days ago, the emperor paid his respects to the ancestors, saying that the crown prince had finished reading the four books, and he should choose some more knowledgeable masters. I also heard this sentence outside the door. I didn't dare to ask more, but when I saw Mr. Tang today, I thought that he was transferred back recently, so I came here and asked my second brother if it might be him."

Yinreng took a sip of tea, his eyebrows furrowed a little, presumably because he was extremely dissatisfied with this matter.But when Yinhu told each other, it was not easy to get angry, so he just said: "Xiaoba has a heart, and the second brother is here to accept your love. There are so many younger brothers alone, and you are the only one who thinks about me. Regarding Dai Zi, I will It must be done for you."

Yinhu smiled: "I didn't solve anything for my second brother. Not only did I not give my second brother any face today, but now I have added new troubles to my second brother. In fact, let me tell you that Tang Bin's matter is also simple. Isn’t it all right, third brother?”

Yinfeng thought about it for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid Yinzhi is not enough weight, you don't understand, Khan Ama sent me this Tang Bin, there is also a deep meaning, not just throwing it out if you want to. Tang Bin is not very capable, he is a rotten scholar, and he is very orthodox, Khan Ama is trying to put me in a bind..."

Yinhu put down the tea bowl, took a few steps forward, stood beside Yinrong, and said: "The ancestors once said that the prince can only rely on the emperor. The same is true for you, second brother. In any case, the emperor is better than the Hesheli family. It’s reliable. Suo’etu and Mingzhu, now I’m afraid there’s no need for young Oboi, the emperor’s father, An Neng to accommodate them for a long time? How does the emperor treat the second brother? That’s the brother’s envy! Why is the eldest brother? Frequent actions? I'm afraid it's not because I think I can really compare with you, but probably because of jealousy. My brother thinks that the emperor's father expects you to rely on him, so he doesn't want you to have an overly powerful Zhan Shifu. I don't want you to get too close to Suo Xiang, so naturally I don't want you to be at the mercy of my master."

Yinfeng also knew the importance of these words, and also replied in a low voice: "I know what you said, but the boss won't let me, how can it be a day or two, even saluting is not respectful."

Yinhu smiled and said: "Second brother, why is he so smart that he does such a foolish thing? Do you know that I and fourth brother are at odds? Does anyone in the palace say that I disrespect elder brother?"

Yinfeng pulled Yinhu over, twisted his ear, and said angrily, "Gu still doesn't know your skills? But Gu is the prince."

Yinhu stretched out his hand to push Yinrong away, and replied: "Even so, the eldest brother is still your elder brother. The ancestors said that the one who can endure what others can't endure is the one who does great things."

Yinreng let go of Yinhu, let him sit back in his seat, and then said: "I know about this matter, and I need you to come here for another matter. Today Khan Ama is hard for you in the study, do you know why?"

Yinhu stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of pastry, shook his head, and said, "I'm scared to death, I don't have the time to think about it. Isn't there a second elder brother? The second elder brother is the heart of the emperor's father, so naturally he can be the emperor's son." There are roundworms in my father's stomach."

Yinfeng's expression became more serious, he took a sip of tea, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I don't think there is any other reason, I think it is because when Ama Khan went to pay his respects to the ancestor, the ancestor said What. I only asked you and the fourth brother today. It is not easy to answer, and it is also a signal if you are not sure. Maybe the person Khan Ama is looking for is the fourth. From the beginning, you were just chosen by your ancestors. Yes." After a pause, he said, "You did a good job today. You didn't overwhelm the fourth brother on the bright side, but you did a little stronger in the dark. You did a good job on the fourth brother, so you have to avoid it." , but I can't bear it. Heh, you always put me at ease."

Yinhu, on the other hand, looked indifferent: "The fourth brother is not bad, at least he is older than me. The fourth brother is also a poor man. You treat him as well as I do. He must be grateful and loyal."

Yinfeng looked sullen: "Why are you smart at one moment and stupid at the other? If there is no old nine, and the Tong family is behind the fourth child, it would be good to pull it over, but now the fourth child's heart may not be so easy to grasp Live. The imperial concubine has a son, so don’t you have a big heart? It’s inevitable that whenever they make a mistake alone, they will take the opportunity to take the position. Hmph, even you little bastard, don’t you have to wear a pair of clothes to kiss the old nine and ten? Pants?"

Yinhu hurriedly stood up and bowed to him, "If the prince just abandons the fourth brother because of Xiaojiu, it's not worth it. If I were you, I still think that I, Yinhu, are not as trustworthy as the fourth brother."

Yinfeng shook his head: "He is a cold-hearted and persevering person, and his face may be determined. When he grows up in the future, he will inevitably be separated. At that time, the power behind him was not only not a help, but a burden. Khan Ama underestimated the fourth child. , I underestimate Gu too much. If there is no you, Gu may still win him over, but with you, Gu is enough."

Yinhu raised his head and looked at Yinrong, he didn't understand how the prince, who saw things so thoroughly, walked into the abyss step by step.The prince was indeed very kind to the fourth child. After Tong Jia’s death, Kangxi put Yinzhen by his side to raise him in order to alleviate the pain of his mother’s death. However, Kangxi’s state affairs were busy, and most of Yinzhen was taken by the prince. Getting in touch with state affairs, getting in touch with courtiers, and learning how to run errands, Yinzhen at that time was almost brought out by the prince.Could it be that the prince at that time also saw Yinzhen's untrustworthiness?Then why do you still have to win over and show your favor? Is it really too weak and there is no other way?

Seeing Yinhu's dumbfounded look, Yinreng stood up and walked to Yinhu's side, hugged Yinhu with one hand, and said with a smile: "Why, I was so scared to hear Gu say that? Well, it's been a long time since I hugged Xiaoba. , the weight is too high, you should eat more, you are too thin."

With a faint smile in Yinhu's eyes, he stared into Yinrong's eyes from a very close distance.I didn't ask why he believed in me, I didn't ask him what is so important to him, but I just asked: "You are not afraid, I will betray you one day too?"

Yinfeng smiled: "Xiaoba can't. You are too affectionate, even if it is betrayal, it is a last resort." Yinhu could hear the sincerity and sigh in his tone.

Yinhu didn't speak.He didn't know if he was worthy of the trust of the boy in front of him, maybe he was just too lonely and needed to find a partner in this cold palace.Kangxi can't, because even though the two are father and son, they are more or less opposed in the struggle for power.Foreign ministers can't do it, because no matter who they are, it's because of their status that they earn a share of the merit of being escorted by the dragon.I'm afraid the other brothers can't do it either, they are all the sons of the emperor, how can he be the crown prince, how can he be a prince under one man and over ten thousand people, and it's too late to be hostile to him, so how can he really stand with him.

Since Yinhu's rebirth, he has never thought of fighting again, because he is tired.This point, apart from the old ancestor, I'm afraid it's the person who held him in his arms who can clearly see it.But Yinhu didn't know, even if he didn't want to at this time, what about ten years later? What about 20 years from now?Standing so close to the prince, he realized the supremacy of the imperial power more deeply than in his previous life, and he realized even more deeply that if one step is missing, even if it is only one step away, he will have to plot and plan in every possible way.What he wants to do, if he is an emperor, there is absolutely no possibility that he can't do it, but if he is really just a king discussing politics, can he still do it?

Yinhu was frightened by his own thoughts. If he really thought about it, the first person who couldn't tolerate him would be the Empress Dowager.Yinhu forced himself to think about all kinds of reprimands from the previous emperor's father, the torture that Xiao Jiu, Xiao Shi and Fourteen had suffered in the last few years, and Ning'er who had been beaten to pieces, he tore himself apart like crazy. With scabbed wounds, I forced myself to face the bloody past.

Yinfeng was frightened by Yinhu's expression, and he gently shook Yinhu in a trance: "Yinhu! Yinhu! What's wrong with you?"

Yinhu suddenly woke up, looking at Yinrong's undisguised worried eyes, he couldn't help feeling sad.After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Second Brother, let me down? I should go pay my respects to my ancestors and Er Niang."

Yinrong put down Yinhu, and gently touched his head with the palm of his hand. Yinhu felt a thick layer of calluses on his slender and slender hands.Yinfeng sighed: "I'll take care of Dai Zi's affairs for you as soon as possible. Since the ninth and tenth brothers are in love with you, I won't move. I will always go through the motions with the fourth child. Don't worry." What, Yinreng didn't say anything, but Yinhu knew it, because of this remark, he got on Yinreng's boat completely, deeper than Yinzhen back then.For a while, he couldn't even judge whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, after all, Yinzhen ascended to the throne from such a seat.He just realized that even if it happened again, even if everything was different, even if he was no longer the wrapped son of Xinzheku whom even the slaves looked down upon, he still couldn't help himself.

When Yinhu was leaving, Yinrong handed the notes to Yinhu: "Don't mess around next time, if you want to say something to me, just send someone to pass on the message. With the ancestors around, Khan Ama won't have any dissatisfaction Even if it is..." Yinfeng didn't say it, but just continued, "You are also left to me by the ancestors, Khan Ama can't get mad at you because of being close to me, don't make such excuses so carefully. These If things fall into the hands of Khan Amma, Gu does not have to bear any responsibility, but you will inevitably be punished. Trust me, brother, he will always protect you."

Yinhu agreed, and Yinfeng said: "Study hard, and write down any ideas you have. This is not a show of gratitude, but I really want to see it. You are still young now, and in five years, Gu will teach you how to govern. "

Yinhu was stunned by this series of promises, and Yinrong seemed to be unable to hold the brakes, as if he was about to give his heart to him immediately.He thought that in the Forbidden City, only Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi were relatives, and he would never show his sincerity to anyone else.But this handsome young man, this young man who Yinhu once looked up to, plotted against, and sympathized with, showed his sincere expectations towards him as an elder brother.Different from the kind of protection that Yinfeng gave him in the previous life, which seemed to be just out of responsibility, Yinfeng recognized him and expected him, and what Yinfeng gave him was exactly the same as his feelings for Xiaojiuxiaoshi. trust and love.

Yinhu was moved at that moment.Unfortunately, only for a moment.
