To be fair, Yin Tang's words caught Yin Zuo completely off guard. After all, he never expected that one day the phrase "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts" would be used to describe him in this way.
"Little Jiu, stop talking nonsense. These two things are completely incomparable. It's true that we are a different race from the Han people, but even if they are unwilling to admit it, from the moment we entered the pass and established our regime, we began to integrate. Whether you are Manchu or Han, we have all become Qing people. Even if there are conflicts between us, they are only internal issues. When facing external enemies, our interests are intertwined, and we share honor and disgrace. Conflicts between Han and Manchu people can be reconciled, but the conflict between us and the Japanese is irreconcilable. The Han people have also suffered greatly from the invasion of Japanese pirates. I believe that at least in dealing with the Japanese, our front is united..."
Although Yinzhuo had lived in the Qing Dynasty for more than twenty years, he still considered himself a Han Chinese, or rather, a Chinese. In his mind, whether Manchu or Han, they were just one of dozens of ethnic groups in China. He did not separate them and treat them separately. He believed that the saying "those who are not of our race must have different hearts" should not be used in this way.
Although Yinzhen wanted to refute his sixth brother, he racked his brains for a long time but found that he really couldn't refute what his brother said, especially the sentence that whether Manchu or Han, they were all people of the Qing Dynasty now. Although he felt that this sentence sounded a bit awkward, he had to admit that his sixth brother was right.
Yinzhuo is like an NPC who issues quests in a game. Once the player successfully accepts the quest, the rest is no longer his concern. Of course, besides being an NPC, he is also a player himself. Look, he just finished dealing with Yintang and then took Dexi to Qingxi Study to find his father to complete the quest.
"Father, could you move over there and make room for me? My son was dragged out of bed by my elder brother and Dexi early this morning and taken to Guanyuan Tower. He's been working hard there all morning and is now exhausted and hungry. Eunuch Liang, could you please ask someone to bring me some pastries? I need to have something to eat."
"Move over there and make room for me." These twelve words, when put together, conveyed an extremely treasonous meaning. However, Kangxi was clearly already used to Yinzhuo's way of speaking. As soon as Yinzhuo finished speaking, he got up from the bed where he was sitting.
"You damn fool, there's plenty of room over there for you to lie down, but you insist on squeezing in here with me. You've been working so hard all morning, and all you've done this morning is talk. Alright, stop standing there. Didn't you say you were tired and wanted to lie down? Then hurry up and go over there."
Where did Yinzhi's bad temper come from? Look, it's all because Kangxi spoiled him. If someone else spoke to Kangxi like that, they would probably have been punished by now. But look at Yinzhi, not only did he not get punished, his father didn't even dare to say a harsh word to him. "You bastard," is that considered a harsh word? Considering the context of Kangxi's words, it clearly isn't.
Seeing that Kangxi had already given him a seat, Yinzhuo didn't stand on ceremony with his father. He took off his shoes and threw them aside, then climbed onto the bed in his socks. Ignoring Kangxi, who was still standing there waiting for his turn, he grabbed a cushion, hugged it to his chest, and lay back down.
“Father, what are you saying? What do you mean I have to squeeze in with you? I just wanted to be closer to you. If you don’t care if I’m here, I can just lie down over there.”
"If I don't care, then go lie down over there. Why don't you get up then?" Kangxi stood by the couch, looking at Yinzhu lying there motionless for a long time. He couldn't help but bend down and give Yinzhu a loud flick on the forehead.
“Father, what have I done to offend you again? Why did you hit me again? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come near you. I was even thinking of finding a place near you in Zunhua to be buried after I die. Now I’ve decided that I will drag my second brother to be buried far away from you, so that you will never see your two beloved children again…”
You have to admit, Yinzhuo's threat was quite creative. Look, it even made his father laugh in anger. Since his son was so eager to be beaten, Kangxi felt it would be impolite not to grant his wish.
"Burying you far away from me, is that it? Fine, rather than making you worry about choosing for yourself in the future, I'll just do you a favor and take care of it for you. I'll beat you to death right now, you brat."
Yinzhuo's previous brushes with death made Kangxi extremely averse to hearing him talk about life and death. However, it was clear that Yinzhuo hadn't remembered any of his previous warnings. What to do when a child doesn't remember things? No problem, just give him a beating.
Although Kangxi was furious, he was still very careful with his actions. Look at where the ruler in his hand would fall; it always landed exactly a few inches away from his precious spot. The father and son chased each other around the flower hall for half a day. Not to mention being beaten to death, the most painful part of Yinzhuo's body was the little feet that were being stepped on.
"Second brother, you've come at the right time. Quickly help me hold off my father. How can he have so much energy at his age? He's been chasing me for ages, and I'm exhausted, but he's still acting like nothing happened. Sigh, it seems I need to practice more recently, otherwise I'll never be able to outrun him in the future."
As soon as Yinreng entered, Yinzuo darted to his side like a rabbit, grabbed Yinreng's shoulders and pulled him in front of him, using Yinreng as a barrier to separate him from his father.
"Oh, so you're trying to keep your second brother away from me? Fine, since neither of you gives me any peace of mind anyway, I might as well just kill you both. That way, you can at least be buried together somewhere far away from me..."
Killed? How could you kill him? Why did you kill him? I just walked in and haven't even said a word yet! If Xiao Liu made you angry, you could have just killed him, why did you have to hit me too?
As the saying goes, "better to die than to die," Yinreng saw the ruler about to strike him, so he quickly turned around, grabbed Yinzuo, and pulled him in front of him as a shield. Amazingly, the ruler, which was meant to hit Yinzuo, suddenly changed direction and struck Yinreng's arm instead.
"Still dare to hide? Yinreng, so this is how you act as an older brother? Yinzuo, did you see that? You still dare to drag your second brother away from me like this? If he bullies you, you won't even have a place to complain..."
