seven steps

In February of the 27th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the weather was still cold, and everyone had just come out of the gloomy cloud of the empress dowager's death.

Yinzhen has many concerns about what the nobleman said that day.There are few children in the palace who are simple. If you say that the eighth elder brother is innocent, he is indeed innocent, but the reason for his innocence is just because he has a low status and no one to teach him. Otherwise, he would be a small adult now.

This day after school, Yinzhen and Yinhu asked Yinhu to come directly to Jingyang Palace after the appointment.After the two separated, Yinzhen went back to Jingyang Palace alone.

"Er Niang, my son is back." When Yinzhen ran to the inner room, he saw the imperial concubine Tong Jia reclining on the imperial concubine chair reading a book, and hearing Yinzhen's voice, the imperial concubine Tong Jia put down the book in her hand, stood up and held him pull to the side.

"Didn't you let Yinhu come with you?"

"Called, Yinhu has to go to greet Concubine Huimu first."

Concubine Tong Jia nodded her head when she heard this. It seems that this eighth elder brother is usually innocent, but the rules are a little bit wrong, presumably it was taught by a nobleman.Speaking of this, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia was unavoidably curious. As a woman in the harem, especially after she had a son, she all started teaching power skills when she was young.Although this noble man is indifferent and indifferent.But it doesn't mean that you don't even care about your son's safety. This palace is not a place where you can have nothing if you don't fight.

"Yinzhen, how do you evaluate Yinhu when you get along with him?" Regarding this son, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia was really hurting her eyes.

Yinzhen naturally knew what she was thinking. Although this Erniang treated others generously, she was by no means a cowardly master. "Don't worry, Erniang, the eighth younger brother is really innocent, not pretending, the son can tell the difference. But."

"But what?"

"The last time my son followed Eighth Brother to Concubine Liangmother, Concubine Liangmother said something to her son, as if she didn't want her son to get along too much with Eighth Brother."

Speaking of this, even the imperial concubine Tong Jia was stunned. "What did she say?"

"Si elder brother, I came from a humble background and caused a lot of inconvenience to Yinhu. I am grateful to see you treat him like this today, but, Si elder brother, if you can't take care of him for the rest of your life, please don't make him too dependent. The pain of loss , I don't want him to try."

Yinzhen recalled it for a while, and then listened to the original words to the imperial concubine Tong Jia.

This noble lady said that she has nothing to do with the world, but in fact she puts her son first.She is said to be weak, but in fact, she is a woman with seven apertures and a delicate heart. As a noble person, it is a pity to stay in this harem.

"Yinzhen, you also know this in the palace. Remember, you must consider the consequences before doing something. If you can bear the consequences, then do it."

"My son knows."

As soon as the conversation between the mother and son was over, Gao Wuyong, the little eunuch next to Yinzhen, came running in, "My servant greets the imperial concubine, and the fourth elder brother."

"In a panic, something important happened." Tong Jia asked the imperial concubine.

"Returning to your master, the eighth elder brother fell into the water, and now, he is still unconscious." Gao Wuyong finished speaking out of breath, before Yinzhen ran out straight away.

The imperial concubine Tong Jia looked at Yinzhen's background and shook her head, "Get up and take me to have a look."

Everyone is still in the imperial garden.The imperial physician has just arrived.The eighth brother was no longer breathing.When Yinzhen went, he saw Yinhu's pale face.Lying there quietly, the whole body is wet.The imperial concubine Tong Jia just arrived here, and nobleman Liang also came. Seeing Yinhu like this, she fainted immediately.

"Get out of the way, the imperial physician, what are the imperial physicians doing!" The young Yinzhen had learned to hide his emotions, but at this moment he broke out.He didn't think much, and started to save Yinhu by himself, and he couldn't control the imperial doctor next to him.Pressing Yinhu's stomach with both hands, exerting strength once and for all.Yinhu has not responded.Yinzhen hurriedly slapped Yinhu on the face.He was still yelling to wake him up quickly.

For a while, everyone didn't know what to do, and even the imperial physician just stood there in a daze.And Yinzhen was still pressing Yinhu's stomach hard again and again, finally, Yinhu spit out a mouthful of water, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Fourth brother." These were Yinhu's first words when he woke up.

Concubine Tong Jia looked at the two children in front of her, frowned, and sighed, maybe people really can't beat the sky, and you can only know when you walk, hope, these two children are all right.

Yinzhen hugged Yinhu, at this moment, he really understood what the pain of loss is, almost, just a little bit, he was lost.

"Fourth brother."

Yinhu's aggrieved voice came.

"Don't be afraid, with fourth brother here, I will protect you forever."

After all, Yinzhen made a promise. He didn't know what would happen in the future, but he felt that if he didn't make such a promise at this moment, maybe he would really regret it for the rest of his life.Since God has made such an arrangement, I gladly accept it.Follow God's will.

At night, Yinzhen hugged Yinhu, and the two children lay on the same bed, covered with the same quilt. "Xiao Ba, how did you fall into the water today?"

"I don't know either. On the way to Jingyang Palace, I was suddenly bumped by someone. I was calling for help, and then a little eunuch jumped down. He seemed to be saving me, but he was actually pushing me into the water. "Yinhu huddled into a small ball, talking about what happened today, she is still a little scared.

Yinzhen could clearly feel his trembling, although it was so slight, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoba. Have you seen his appearance clearly?"

"No."

"Forget it, go to sleep."

Yinhu did not go to sleep obediently as usual, but opened his eyes wide, thought for a while and said, "Fourth brother, I want to become stronger."

Yinzhen didn't say anything after hearing this, and this sentence became the last sentence between them tonight.

Fourth brother, I want to become stronger.After all, none of the royal children can grow up innocent.After becoming stronger, do you no longer need my protection, you can stand alone, and I have become the one who is dispensable.Yinzhen looked at the villain in his arms, and sighed inaudibly.

The next day, the two of them got up early to go to school without any delay.No one would care about such a thing, after all, people are fine, right?In fact, even if something happens, so what, this is Tianjia.

"What we are learning today is "University" and all the elders read it with me. The way of the university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the ultimate good. Knowing and stopping is followed by calmness, and calmness is followed by tranquility. Be safe, be safe and then be able to think about it, and then be able to get it after thinking about it. Things have their origins and ends, and things have their beginnings and ends. Knowing the sequence of events is the shortest way.

In ancient times, those who wanted to manifest their virtues in the world first ruled their country.Those who want to govern their country must first organize their families.Those who want to reunify their families must first cultivate their bodies.Those who want to cultivate their body must first rectify their minds.Those who want to rectify their hearts must first be sincere.If you want to be sincere, you should know first.Knowledge is in the investigation of things.When you know things, you will know them; if you know them, you will be sincere; if you are sincere, you will be upright; if you are upright, you will cultivate yourself;From the emperor to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation, and those who are originally chaotic but not governed will be fine.What is thick is thin, and what is thin is thick, there is no such thing.This is called the foundation of knowledge, and this is called the ultimate in knowledge. "

"Which elder brother can explain the meaning of this passage?" Gu Badai asked.

The third elder brother naturally did his part, raised his hand and stood up to answer.

He has been good at poetry, song and Fu since he was a child, and he has no problem explaining the text.After listening to his explanation, Gu Badai nodded in satisfaction.

It's just that what Gu Badai didn't expect was that the young Eighth Brother had already memorized this passage deeply.In his view, no matter what happens in the future, the first thing is to start with himself, he wants to make himself stronger.

Yinzhen turned his head and saw Yinhu's thoughtful look, he understood that Yinhu had already understood this passage, although it wasn't what he hoped, but after all, it couldn't be regarded as a bad thing.Perhaps, the children of Tianjia are destined to have no childhood and happiness at all.

After school, the two walked side by side.

"Fourth brother." Yinhu was surprised by Yinzhen's silence today, although Yinzhen has always been so cold in front of others, but to himself, he has never been like this.

"Xiao Ba, you really..." He didn't know how to go on, it's hard to say, isn't it, you can't stop a person from wanting to become stronger, just like you can't stop him from growing older.

Yinhu took Yinzhen's hand, "fourth brother, I know what you want to say. But, I can't let you protect forever, you want to protect me, and I also have people who want to protect, such as Er Niang, such as you, Fourth brother, I also want to protect you, but the first condition is that I can survive." Yinhu seemed to grow up overnight.He was afraid, so he understood that if he survived, he must grow up.

Survive, what a simple three words, but why is it so difficult in the royal family.

Other people's children may still be playing with sugar figurines and spinning tops when they were seven years old, but the royal family's children were not. If Yinhu was six years old and was a child when he was killed for the first time, then this time he was really aware of the danger.He wants to live.

After Yinzhen and Yinhu separated, they returned to Jingyang Palace.

"My mother."

"Come here, what's the matter?"

"Xiaoba said. He wants to become stronger, he wants to survive." Yinzhen said.

"Hey, after all, he is a child of the royal family." The imperial concubine Tong Jia sighed and hugged Yinzhen. "You, don't be sad, you were not the same back then. Yinhu is actually more miserable than you."

"The son understands, the son just feels that he has grown up suddenly, and the son is not used to it."

Imperial Concubine Tong Jia touched Yinzhen's head, "Silly boy, Yinhu is not wrong, even, Eniang thinks it's too late for him to understand now."

Yinzhen hugged the imperial concubine Tong Jia and said nothing, maybe it was really late.
