Pang Yang stood up slowly and held Ging Guo tightly in his arms, as if to confirm this sentence.
At this moment, Pang Yang thought, how great it would be if this time was forever.
But some people can hold a lot of things in their hearts and never stop for anyone.
The vast team of Supervisors Bai set out from Kyoto on the emperor's order.
Everyone's eyes followed him until they couldn't see him anymore.
Xuanxian stood on the city wall, with Xuan Yuansi, envoys from various countries, and ministers of the DPRK beside him. He should have been happy at this moment, after all, this was the moment he had thought about for many years.
But now he is not as excited as he imagined.
Perhaps only the person on the carriage knows how dangerous this journey is.
Zang Qi was also watching the team leave, with many expressions in his eyes, but his eyes fell on the figure in front of him in just a blink of an eye.
The one who asked Yifeng to negotiate peace.
Kyoto is peaceful in all aspects, big and small, Xuanxian sees national affairs, but there are always chores around him.
"Yifeng's people smashed the three shops of King An, and now King An has taken his people there!" Su Qing broke out in a sweat. If this really caused a conflict between Yifeng's people and King An, Could it be that Chengzhou, who had just experienced a fierce battle, would start preparing again?
The taxes of the people...
By then it will become the Kingdom of Zhou...
"Let General Chizhong handle it." Xuanxian handled the memorial without even raising his head.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment and then quickly agreed, and quickly stepped out to find someone to send a message to General Chi Zhong. However, she saw Xuan Yuyan approaching from a distance, holding hot soup in her hand.
Su Qing saluted and motioned for the little eunuch on the side to come over and follow her. She was about to say a few words when she felt she was leaving. Xuan Yuyan noticed something first and said proactively: "Eunuch Su Qing, go ahead."
Su Qing didn't dare to delay, and left quickly after hearing this apology.
The little eunuch took the soup from Xuan Yuyan and invited Xuan Yuyan into the palace.
In the past few days, Xuan Yuyan has come and gone, and they have already become accustomed to it. To be honest, none of these highnesses care about the emperor as much as this princess.
Xuan Xian was not surprised by Xuan Yuyan's arrival. He put down the memorial he was correcting and frowned when he saw that Xuan Yuyan did not bring the palace maid, "Why did you come here by yourself?"
Xuan Yuyan smiled and said, "My mother has been restless these past few days. I have asked people around me to look at my mother."
The past few days have been restless. From the day the new crown prince was confirmed, things in the palace have never been good.
Xuan Xian paused at Xuan Yuyan's words, but then did not ask.
Xuan Yuyan said nothing more, just watched Xuan Xian finish the soup before leaving with the things.
When she was leaving the palace, she happened to meet Su Qing who was coming back. Xuan Yuyan just saw Su Qing leaving in a hurry and didn't ask anything. Now when she saw Su Qing coming back with a smile on her face and no panic, she was curious. Asked: "But what happened?"
Su Qing couldn't hide the smile on her face, "Someone came into the palace just now and reported that Yifeng's people had a conflict with King An. The emperor was worried about King An, so he asked his servant to go to General Chi Zhong. The servant didn't expect Chi Zhong. General Zhong has already passed by and has taken care of the matter!"
Xuan Yuyan took the initiative to interrupt after listening for a few seconds, "This is a good thing. Eunuch Su Qing, please go in and tell your father."
Su Qing responded and entered the imperial study.
Xuan Yuyan's face didn't show much emotion, and she ignored the gazes of everyone around her and walked towards the harem.
Ever since her royal brother passed away, ever since her mother was not dignified, she was no longer the princess she once was.
The new prince is her younger brother, a younger brother whom she has only met a few times before.
Not knowing which step was difficult, Xuan Yuyan raised her head and looked at the sky.
Once she was a noble princess, now she is a pitiful person.
A poor man who has to live his life looking at the new emperor's face.
Xuan Yuyan couldn't control the tears in her eyes, but she still didn't let them fall.
Her royal brother, the one she always got angry with but who always told her great ideals and made her understand things, disappeared.
But obviously...she is not so willful now.
The surroundings were empty and calm, but Xuan Yuyan's eyes were not focused on this place.
A month passed quickly, and new news began to spread in Beijing - the second brother-in-law of the Bai family returned to Beijing.
When they left the city, they were greeted by all the members of the Bai family and several officials and ministers. On this day, Xuan Yuyan changed out of her plain clothes and put on a pair of non-bright clothes to greet them.
Entering the city was the second eldest brother of the Bai family, the future minister of the Ministry of War, the leader of General Chizhong and the second uncle of Princess Kangle, so they still had to give him some respect.
But no one thought that the legitimate princess would come, let alone after the prince passed away.
Xuan Yuyan behaved calmly and dignifiedly from beginning to end. At this moment, the princess' demeanor took shape in the eyes of the world.
Cheng Zhou's princess is not bad either.
But on this day, Concubine De lost her temper again. When she heard people outside saying that the King of the West was coming, she couldn't suppress her anger, "It's okay if you don't get angry because the emperor gave the crown prince position to the Thirteenth Highness. But look at it, you have to greet even a minor official when he comes to the capital. Even when you come back to this palace, I don’t see many highnesses going to greet you!"
King Dingxi sneered, "Do I need them to greet me when I return home?"
Concubine De angrily threw a tea cup over, "You think clearly, but do you know what situation you are in now?! The throne... the prince's position is not earned if you don't earn it. You want it, but your mother and concubine can't. ?!”
In the last sentence, King Dingxi finally restrained his casualness, but the words he said still made Concubine De's anger rise several levels, "What kind of situation is this king in? My situation is something they can't envy. I have a princess, wife and children, I have a mother and concubine, my current achievements are unparalleled, I can walk sideways in Kyoto, even the newly appointed prince will call me "royal brother" when he sees me... "
"You naughty bitch!" Concubine De interrupted the happy words of King Dingxi angrily, "You know it in your heart and you still won't change it?! Do you really think that the prince is a vegetarian?! How can it be possible if he really doesn't have any city government? How could the Queen Mother have been able to ascend to this position so smoothly at this juncture after having been watched by the Queen Mother for so many years?!"
King Dingxi then said: "I don't know whether he eats it or not, but what I eat is meat..."
Concubine De also smashed the teapot.
King Dingxi moved away and saw that there was nothing in front of Concubine De, so he felt relieved and dared to get closer to Concubine De and speak, "Concubine, how can the position of the prince be something that a son can fight for if he wants to? Look at that King An and King Jing have been struggling for so long, but do you think they got on it? Look at what Prince Gong and Prince Li made before, but do you think what happened to them in the end?"
King Dingxi said: "Now that the prince has just died, it stands to reason that only by having a son can we control these people, ministers and countries. No matter how bad it is, it should be Prince Gong. But do you think your father has mentioned it?" ?”
When did the emperor mention that the crown prince was the crown prince? No one above him even had a say in this matter.
Concubine De looked at King Dingxi in confusion, "What does the emperor think? Could it be to give the queen peace of mind?"
Except for the Thirteenth Prince, the other princes are all in the names of concubines. No matter who they are, they will not treat the Queen sincerely, but only the Thirteenth Prince was raised in front of the Emperor, and he gets along with the Crown Prince. Several years later, when he was recorded in the name of the queen, the queen was still the most noble one in the harem.
King Dingxi was silent for a moment and said, "It should be."
King Dingxi didn't know in his heart whether the emperor had any affection for the queen, but relying on the impression that the emperor's mother and queen had been forced to death was enough for the emperor to arrange everything for the current queen.
"How is this possible?" Concubine De didn't believe it. "The emperor was thinking that the queen should also understand the importance of the position of the prince. It means that you have to straighten up before you sit down to make the capital calm. Even if His Highness the Thirteenth Highness is a little How can we suppress this chaos with any means?"
King Dingxi sat under Concubine De, "What do you think, Concubine Mother? You should think that if the person sitting in this position was really a son, then these ministers wouldn't scold their sons in the court every day, and the wives of those officials wouldn't I come to the palace every day and ask you to do justice. Do you think there will be more chaos in Kyoto? The son is the prince of his father, but the son cannot be the prince."
After hearing what King Dingxi said, Concubine De suddenly felt relieved at this moment.
She was very aware of King Dingxi's virtues as a person she had raised. It was impossible for him to sit still for a whole day, let alone pretending to be like the prince.
If such a person sat in that position, the court would be worried.
but……
"Mother Concubine knows that you said these words to comfort me." Concubine De sighed, "How could you be able to sit in your current position without any means? It's just that you only have Jinlin Prefecture in your eyes. You Just think about where to spend the rest of your life.”
Over the years, Prince Gong has been plotting his position as the crown prince, and Prince Li has been plotting his enjoyment. Even though Prince An and Prince Jing recently encouraged him to dream of this position, he who has had the real power in his hands for all these years only cares about his own money. Linzhou.
What worries him every day is either that the new emperor will not allow him to return to Jinlin Prefecture or what is happening to Jinlin Prefecture now. That one-third of an acre of land worries him more than his son.
"My son is not thinking about it." King Dingxi leaned back on his chair with a casual attitude, "My son is doing this for his future grandchildren."
Concubine De laughed sarcastically, "Can you think so far ahead?"
"Of course my son can do it. Mother and concubine, please think about it. No matter who the new emperor is on the throne, what do you think the first thing will be?" King Dingxi said implicitly: "My son has never met the emperor's uncle until now. .”
Concubine De paused, then shook her head: "Whether it's the former prince or the current prince, they can't do such a thing."
The reason why the emperor was so ruthless back then was because these people had already lost face in fighting him, but that was not the case now. If the new emperor really wanted to do such a thing, the courtiers would probably force him to death.
After all, the military power in the hands of the emperor at that time was such that the former emperor did not dare to change the throne at will, and most of the people in the court were the emperor's people. This led to the current situation, but it is different now.
"The mother and concubine think it's impossible, but the son thinks it's possible." King Dingxi said, "No one would keep a person with such outstanding ability as his son."
Concubine De was amused by Queen Dingxi's words, "You do know how to boast."
