Chapter 198: One month. I haven’t received any letter from Brother 1 for a whole month.
Yinzhen was stunned, and asked uncertainly: "I vaguely remember that since we arrived in Khalkha Mongolia, we haven't received a reply from Fourth Brother?"
Xiao Luzi replied respectfully, "Yes. But you said that it's difficult to send a letter over a long distance. The Fourth Prince is a man who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. He will never use public tools for private purposes unless necessary, which makes it more difficult to deliver the letter. Don't worry."
Yinxuan who did say so:!!!
You don’t have to be anxious at ordinary times, but now it is the 48th year of the Kangxi reign.
Prince Yong Yinzhen was accompanying the emperor on a journey to the frontier, but he was infected with an epidemic on the way. Thanks to the careful care of Empress Xiaoshengxian, who was still a princess at the time, he was finally out of danger.
Because of this, how many female protagonists of Qing Dynasty novels tried to squeeze out Niuhulu and take care of the sick themselves, in order to achieve the ideal of sleeping with four children, giving birth to four children, and becoming the longest-lived and most blessed empress dowager in the Qing Dynasty?
It’s so annoying that he’s been so busy dealing with that stubborn old man lately that he forgot about this matter!
When Yinzhen thought about his fourth brother who was seriously ill, lacking medical care and surrounded by enemies and rivals, he felt sick.
He ran all the way towards Kangxi's tent, sweating profusely.
Without waiting for the notification, he rushed in.
Alinga didn't dare to stop him, so he could only shout, "Eighteenth Prince, please stop! This is a restricted area in front of the emperor, you cannot trespass!"
With a roar, the people who were in the meeting inside were all silent. Some looked up, some turned around, and all stared at the door. Their brains were working frantically at the same time: how can they get away with it smoothly without making Xiao Shiba feel excluded.
Little did he know that Yinxuan's mind was full of his fourth brother, and he didn't pay attention to so much. He just smiled perfunctorily: "All the brothers and fourth sister are here!"
Ke Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am discussing how to take the third sister away from the sad place and let her completely forget the haze of the past."
Children should not listen too much to adult matters.
So several of the younger ones were dismissed, and it was definitely not intended to target you alone.
This quick-witted answer immediately won the approval of Kangxi and his sons.
Yes, that's it.
The emperor is about to return, and this matter should be resolved.
Yinxuan nodded absentmindedly and said, "It's my duty."
Then he asked Kangxi, the Crown Prince and others whether they had received any letters from his fourth brother recently.
After getting a negative answer, Yinzhen was completely stunned: "Fourth brother hasn't written to me for a month, a whole month. I heard that there are many malaria in the south, he wouldn't..."
The word "illness" sounded unlucky, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.
I just kept mumbling in my mind: [No way, no way? Now that everything has developed so far away from the original historical line, my fourth brother still got the epidemic and was almost dying?]
cough cough cough.
Kangxi and Shisan couldn't help but coughed violently.
After finally stopping, Thirteen's voice was trembling a little, "No! It's not like Fourth Brother has been here for the first time. It's been almost a year, half a year. How can there be anything that he is not used to?"
"Don't worry, Eighteenth Brother. Even if Fourth Brother is a little sick, we still have Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, and Gelfin!"
[Um, is there a possibility that I am more worried because they are here?]
[After all, those three plus the mynah bird that has somehow arrived nearby are simply a carnival for the mynah party, which directly puts the fourth brother under attack from both sides.]
[Even though the crown prince has not been deposed yet, the so-called Eighth Prince Party has not emerged. But Eighth Prince follows the eldest brother, Fourth Prince supports the second brother, and Ninety and Fourteen are both Eighth Prince's little supporters. After all, the two sides are still hostile forces. Who knows if they will take advantage of Fourth Prince's illness to kill him! Gelfin is a loyal member of the crown prince party, and is considered half of Fourth Prince's own. But in front of the entire Eighth Prince Party, what use can he be?]
Yinxuan was anxious, and the more he imagined it, the more frightened he became.
I was so anxious that I became like an ant on the hot pan, and I didn't notice the speechless faces of my father, brothers and sister.
Not to mention that the cards are now exposed, even if it was the original historical line, Eighth Brother and the others would not dare to take advantage of Fourth Brother's illness to make a move secretly!
Unless the hatred between the two sides is so extreme that they would rather die together than kill him.
But this truth is not suitable to be told to Yinzhen, and he may not believe it even if I tell him.
Kangxi thought for a moment and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "You are a child after all, you believe everything you hear. It's just that I haven't received any letters for a month, why is it so serious?"
"But……"
Yinzhen hesitated and was interrupted by Kangxi before he could finish his words.
"It's nothing to be sure of. The anti-drug work has been successfully completed. There is no need for your fourth brother to continue to keep an eye on it. However, I think the proposal he made a few days ago to distribute the land tax and the land-ownership system is quite good."
"So I ordered him to finish the official business as soon as possible and return to Beijing to discuss these two matters in detail. If possible, let him handle them. Don't you know what kind of person he is? He has a very impatient temper. He must be busy dealing with the aftermath, so he has no time to write to you."
As soon as these two bombshells came out, Yin Xuan's attention was indeed diverted instantly: "Equalizing the land tax and changing the land tax to officials? This... I've never heard you mention this before!"
[Isn't it too bald?]
[but……]
[Historically, these were indeed two major measures taken by Yongzheng after he ascended the throne. Although they were taken a few years earlier, it was reasonable for the fourth brother to propose them. In this way, Kangxi, the father, got a great advantage!]
Kangxi:......
I just want to ask you what's up with that little tune of yours that's full of regrets!
But he didn't dare. At most, he frowned in disdain: "Humph, I told you, you will turn into a giraffe, looking south every day? If you keep asking where your good fourth brother is, when he will arrive in the capital, and when he can enter the palace to meet you?"
Yinzhen laughed, what had he done wrong!
He just wanted to be close to his fourth brother and be his most beloved younger brother.
He saw it in his eyes and loved it in his heart. Before his death, he looked at his son earnestly and told him to be filial to his eighteenth uncle and not let him suffer any grievances.
In order to achieve this grand goal, he must pay close attention to the health of his dear fourth brother and help him live a long life?
It was not until he received a positive response from Kangxi that he felt a little relieved from his worries.
But he didn't know that just as he turned to leave, Kangxi, who had just laughed at him for making a fuss, frowned. Thirteenth Geng knelt down directly and said: "This is about the life and death of my fourth brother. I ask Khan Ama to agree to allow me to go to Guangdong in person."
"If everything is fine, I think that after you cared about the princesses and the clan daughters, you also felt sorry for your sons who are thousands of miles away. You sent people to comfort them and let them feel the emperor's grace. If everything is as my eighteenth brother said, the famous doctors and good medicines my son brought will also work quickly."
