Common child

In the 38th year of Kangxi, in the first month of Jimao Spring, Xinmao issued an edict: "I will inspect the river works in the south, and everything will be donated to [-] million yuan, and the capital will prepare for it. Pre-order the officials and don't tire them out."

Kangxi’s third tour to the south, although the inspection of river engineering is still the theme, but it is obviously more interesting than the previous two times. I saw that he brought his aunt, the number one to fourteen, and the concubine Zhang Jia’s concubine Liang to this team. Among them, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there are many family outings.

In Gengwu of March, the last time I cleared the mouth, the Empress Dowager crossed the river.Xin Wei, on the imperial boat, near Gaojiayan, Guiren embankment, mud shallow and other projects.Bingzi, driving in Yangzhou.

There is a wide river outside Yangzhou City, named Baoyang Lake. It was originally the remains of the moats of Tang Luocheng and Song Dacheng. It starts from Beicheng River in the south and reaches the foot of Shugang in the north. Rich salt industry tycoons lined the banks of the river one after another, and spared no expense in hiring famous gardeners to design and manage them, and built water gardens, known as "the flowers and willows on the two embankments are all based on the water, and the towers all the way to the mountains."The beauty of the scenery is enough to make people dazzled and carried away.

However, there are always people in the world who are incomprehensible and can turn a blind eye to such beautiful scenery.

"Come to Baoyang Lake to see the scenery, not to eat, Wu, brother." In a small restaurant by the lake, two young people sat opposite each other, one handsome and elegant, the other gentle and quiet, both in their clothes and their words and deeds. His background is extraordinary, but at this time the elegant young man sighed helplessly and looked at the person opposite, even his voice was weak.

Hearing the words, the mild-tempered young man just raised his eyes and glanced at him, then turned his attention back to the table full of food. His eating was not rude, and he could see good upbringing, with a cheerful expression on his face. He wanted to be concerned about the food in his mouth quite satisfied.

The person who finally felt satisfied put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth slowly, and then beckoned to Xiao Er, and told him to pack a few servings of the snacks just served.

"Haven't you eaten enough?" Yinzhi yelled strangely, looking at the clean dishes on the table and at someone's stomach that hadn't changed in the slightest, his face was a little green.

"Enough is enough. It's not in vain. I searched for a few days and finally found this century-old shop. The bamboo shoots and meat pot stickers are really unique." Yin Qi said with a look of aftertaste. The snacks in Yangzhou City are really delicious. The harvest is rich and satisfied, "Since I have eaten delicious food, of course I have to pack it back to my elder brothers."

"Your reputation as a foodie is well established." Yinzhi shook his head, seeing the accompanying person took the snacks packed by Xiaoer, he and Yinqi both walked out of the small shop and took a walk by the lake to digest food.

"This southern tour is full of undercurrents. Isn't it good to have a reputation as a foodie?" The full-fledged person finally thought about watching the graceful and graceful Baoyang Lake, with a slight smile on his lips.

Yinzhi also smiled and didn't talk to him, it was already acquiescing.

Speaking of this southern tour, the accompanying princes are complete. Kangxi usually likes to educate his sons according to the time and place, so when he visited the river works before, he called them one by one and asked them what they thought.

Everyone has a share in Kangxi's investigation, but the most outstanding ones are two people-Yinfeng and Yinhu.

As the crown prince, Yinfeng was the first to be pointed out by Kangxi. From river engineering and water conservancy to agriculture and mulberry business, from historical river management to current dam repairs, from officials' achievements to people's livelihood, opening his mouth is a great theory of governing the country, looking at the overall situation It is comprehensive, and the details are remarkable. It can be said that many of the things the figures said are extended from the outline of Yinreng. The confident appearance made Kangxi nod in satisfaction, and appeared several times. The voice is good, there is such a strong limelight as Yinreng first, and everyone who answered later subconsciously avoids it, and Yinreng's answer is the result of Kangxi's years of education and training, and no one thinks that they can really do it. Get over him.

But Yinhu was the last one, because when he was asked at the beginning, he asked Kangxi to let him think about it before answering, so when an article "Association of River Construction and Officials' Corruption of Mok" was published, Kangxi was extremely disgusted. The point of being greedy for ink, and the answers from everyone after the prince were not very brilliant. Compared with the two, Kangxi couldn't help but praise him greatly. Reng's face was not thoughtful, and the others couldn't help but look a little weird.

In recent years, although Kangxi has not personally conscripted the princes to lead troops to destroy Galdan, since the 35th year of Kangxi, Kangxi has entrusted important tasks to the princes who have been married and divided the mansions. The prince was suppressed and his power was divided.

As for Yinhu's behavior, it is perfectly normal to say that he was provoked by the emperor's actions to fight for the throne.

Not to mention how much the brothers were thinking, but the overt or covert actions of the accompanying ministers made this southern tour unsettled.

"Speaking of which, apart from those little elder brothers, your fifth elder brother is the most leisurely. You wander around the city of Yangzhou every day, looking for those time-honored shops and stalls, and eating Yangzhou's special snacks all over the place. Ma specially called you over to ask if you really gave him a food review, I have to say it was a good move." Yin Zhi let everyone take off guard and laugh at this man's escape with 'food', and he was in his heart It's really great.

"I'm just greedy." Yin Qi didn't think he did it on purpose, he was really greedy, but he didn't mind getting something else while being greedy, such as setting up the image of an emperor with no ambitions .

"After eating so much, why don't you see you gain weight?" Yinzhi no longer entangled in this aspect, and stretched out his hand to pinch his waist. The young man's waist was thin and even a little thin, without any fat, and it felt good.

It's just that this place is Yinqi's Achilles' heel, this pinch made him jump up, and stared at Yinzhi almost resentfully, making Yinzhi laugh out loud.

The two returned to the palace after fighting like this, and ordered Du Qi and Feng Chuan to send the packed snacks to each brother respectively. As for the snacks for the empress dowager and the emperor, they had to deliver them in person to show their filial piety.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them turned a corner, they saw Yinzhen approaching with an ugly face. Yinzhen also saw the two of them, straightened his expressions, and didn't exchange greetings, just said hello and left.

"Who messed with him?" Yinqi looked at Yinzhen's retreating back, braving the cold air that almost materialized, and said in shock.In the past few years, due to the training in the court, Yinzhen has become more and more invisible. It is really rare to see such emotions.

"...The only one who can provoke him recently is Yinhu." Yinzhi thought for a while.

"Yinzhen should be very worried about Yinhu, right? After all, there is Prince Lijun behind the crown prince." If Yinhu's jumping and jumping really made those two people want to kill each other, it would be absolutely doomed.

"If Yinhu ends up being locked up for ten years like Yinxiang, I don't know if Yinzhen will hold a grudge and fight for the position in order to get revenge." Yinzhi thinks of the previous life Yinzhen became more and more forbearing after Yinxiang was locked up until the end After winning a big victory, I don't know if Yinhu in this life is so important in Yinzhen's heart.

"If that's the case, the situation will become very chaotic." Yin Qi frowned, he really didn't want to go through the tragic Kowloon seizing the throne again.

"It's okay, I'm here." Yinzhi raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder naturally. What he said sounded light, but Yinqi could feel the unquestionable seriousness in it, so he couldn't help but smiled. nod.

The two continued to move forward, and at another turn, they saw another person——Yinhu.

Today is really weird.The two thought in unison.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother."

"Eighth brother."

They greeted each other, originally thinking that they should go their separate ways, but Yinhu started talking on his own and assumed a posture of chatting, but after a few words, the two people who had lived in two lifetimes knew this Babeile started to win them over, the fifth elder brother was mediocre and easy to fool, and behind him was the Mongolian forces of Guo Luoluo's family and the empress dowager, plus the eighth elder brother Fujin was also related to the fifth elder brother, so he did it A good relationship or even pulling people into your formation is definitely beneficial and harmless; the sixth elder brother has always been both civil and military, and the courtiers of Kangxi are very optimistic about his ability and means, and he also has his own connections, so he should not let it go .

Yinzhi looked thoughtfully at Yinhu who talked eloquently, and felt a little weird in his heart. Yinhu's expression and manner showed that he was thinking about fighting for the position, but he didn't see it in those eyes. Seeing the slightest bit of ambition is very wrong. You must know that when wooing people, showing ambition appropriately is a kind of self-confidence, which can make the people who are wooed feel convincing, and at the same time arouse the sympathy of the other party. The idea of ​​pursuing common interests can form an alliance.In the past, every one of Kowloon did well, so in his opinion, Yinhu failed at all. He even had an absurd idea. I want to escape something through this dangerous thing.

"Eighth brother." Yinqi suddenly said, interrupting Yinhu who was saying something like 'I got a good thing not long ago and want to give it to my two elder brothers', "Did you quarrel with fourth brother recently?"

Yinhu's elegant smile cracked for a moment, but it disappeared soon, "Fifth brother was joking, and fourth brother and I are getting along well."

The ability to tell lies with eyes open is still the same as in the previous life.Yinzhi thought.

"Really? But the eighth brother, listen to the fifth brother, if you have a conflict with the fourth brother, it's better to solve it quickly. You two have been close since childhood, and it's hard for one of them to be unhappy and the other. We just broke up Seeing the fourth brother passing by with an ugly face, the good things you got are better than giving them to us." Yinqi said earnestly and sincerely, and patted Yinhu's shoulder in relief.

Yinhu was so photographed that he couldn't hold back his smile anymore, a glint of pain and resentment flashed in his eyes, and he no longer had the intention to talk to the two of them, so he hurriedly said a few more words and left, his back was rather lost and fled the taste of.

"Shoot right to the point." Yinzhi gave him a thumbs up.

Yin Qi shrugged, "The dim sum is getting cold, it won't taste good when it's cold, I don't have time to listen to his chatter." He still has to rush to honor his imperial grandmother!

Yinzhi smiled lightly, but felt a little sympathy for Yinhu in his heart.

The two walked again, and finally did not meet any brothers this time. They entered the courtyard where the empress dowager lived unimpeded, and met Lanka Zama just after entering the gate.

"For slaves, see Five Baylor and Six Baylor."

"Nurse Lanka, get up quickly, there is no need to be polite." Yinqi hurriedly helped Lanka Zama to prevent her from finishing the ceremony. This person who has served the empress dowager all her life and watched him grow up, his heart He also regarded her as an elder, "Is the emperor's grandmother here?"

"The queen mother was chatting with a friend in the backyard, and the servant let the servant go to report."

"It's time for Lao Mama."

"A friend of the queen mother? Who could it be? Do you know him?" Yinzhi asked curiously in a low voice.

"I don't know either, maybe it's some kind of married woman?" Yin Qi was also curious, who is the friend of the emperor's grandmother who made Mother Lanka use the five words 'friend of the Queen Mother'?No matter in the memory of his previous life or this life, he has no impression that the imperial grandmother is particularly close to any wife.

Soon Lanka Zama came back and led the two to the backyard.

And soon the two met the 'friend of the Queen Mother'. What was very surprising was not a married woman, but a man who was about the same age as the Queen Mother.

Baoyang Lake is also called Slender West Lake, and Slender West Lake was called Slender West Lake during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.
