Compared with the Imperial, Inner and Outer Cities, the streets within the Palace City seemed a little deserted. There were no bustling markets or hawkers. There were only some high-rise courtyards, carriages in twos and threes on the streets, and some maids who were out shopping. .
The palace city is huge, but its inhabitants are few.
In addition to some royal families and their staff, there are also some people with special status.
The gathering place of the Great Yan Tianlong people.
The black dragon carriage was traveling on the street. Because Xu Yinhe didn't speak, Xu Yuan looked at the street scenes on both sides through the car window with a little boredom.
They were walking on Tian'an Road, which was the central axis that divided the entire imperial capital.
Go straight all the way to the south gate of the palace.
As he walked, Xu Yuan's eyes became a little strange, and finally he fixed his gaze on a ten-story phoenix-roofed building in front of him.
Yes, Jiaofangsi is actually next to this central axis.
These royal relatives who live in the palace generally do not leave the palace.
The first is to avoid suspicion, and the second is that Taizu Dayan stipulated that the heirs of the royal family should set an example and not disturb the people.
Therefore, in order to meet the needs of these second generations, various entertainment facilities in Miyagi City have their own system.
In my memory, Xu Yuan had been here once.
Because there is a popular rumor that all the waiters in the Jiaofang Department in Miyagi City are extremely beautiful in the world.
As a result, I came here with admiration and left disappointed.
The Goulan provided specifically for the royal family's children in Miyagi City is not as good as the private ones outside.
The monopoly operation has allowed the Jiaofangsi in the palace city to go through various hooks and obstacles without being beaten by the market.
There is no ambition to make progress. Although the environment is elegant, the core is still the red tape of a hundred years ago.
In the flashback, the black dragon carriage had already passed through the smokey willow streets.
After taking one last glance, Xu Yuan smiled softly and unconsciously:
"Oh, no one competes, no one makes progress, and it remains unchanged for a hundred years. These people can really stand it."
Xu Yinhe raised his eyes and glanced at the third son, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and asked:
"Why are you saying this suddenly?"
Xu Yuan came back to his senses and coughed awkwardly:
"Father, haven't I been to this Jiaofangsi once before? When I came here again, I suddenly thought that if outside capital and silver were allowed to enter this palace to open branches, it is estimated that nine out of ten shops on this street would collapse. .”
Xu Yinhe's eyes brought a hint of approval when he heard this:
"Very good, your perspective on things has really changed."
After a pause, he glanced out the car window again and smiled slightly:
"For more than forty years, that street has indeed not changed at all, but everything that exists is reasonable, and it is enough for this palace."
Xu Yuan glanced at the old man with a strange look, then silently turned his eyes back and continued to look out the window.
About a quarter of an hour after driving through Jiaofangsi, Tianan Road, which is the central axis, gradually narrowed, and the speed of the Black Dragon Carriage also gradually decreased.
Further ahead are the Central Imperial Academy, the Supervisory Office, and the six ministries and other central agencies.
Originally, these institutional compounds were set up in the palace, but later they were renovated and moved to the palace city.
It's noon,
On both sides, many people wearing various official robes took this opportunity to go out for a walk. They were chatting and laughing, or discussing government affairs. However, when they saw a black dragon chariot passing along the street in the distance, they all immediately fell silent.
Silence spread along the street at an extremely strange speed.
As the chariot passed by, the courtiers on both sides bowed and saluted.
For a moment, the sun streamed down like a waterfall, and apart from the dead crowd, the only sound in the entire street was the sound of the black dragon carriage's hooves trampling on the ground.
When entering the court, there is no rush, no name for praise and worship. Swords and shoes go to the palace, and the ax is used for festivals, and it is driven by the emperor.
"Tsk, tsk. Look at this scene."
In the shadow of the sun, a bicycle frame with nine black pythons tattooed on it was parked quietly.
The third prince sat on the soft couch with his legs crossed, and while eating the fruit plate, he said casually: "Except for not kneeling down, Mr. Xu is basically treated the same as his father."
Eunuch Hou, who was kneeling on a futon beside him, suddenly asked:
"Your Highness, Mr. Xu has already entered the palace. Do you still want to go to the palace to see His Majesty?"
The third prince pondered slightly when he heard the words, and sighed:
"Forget it, go back home and don't get involved in this matter."
After hearing this, Eunuch Hou said in a low voice:
"But... what if Zhou Chen is Xu Changtian?"
The third prince waved his hand casually:
"It's just a guess in itself. Apart from cultivation and the time of return to Beijing, there is insufficient other fundamental evidence. Let's wait until I have time to meet with Xu Sanshao."
Eunuch Hou said cautiously:
"At the very least, you should remind His Majesty so that His Majesty can be prepared. At the very least, you should let His Majesty the Crown Prince know."
"Hou Cheng, I found out why you like to contradict me so much?"
The third prince raised his eyebrows: "Every time I make a decision, you have to do this. Isn't it fun?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou immediately put his head on the floor of the carriage:
"I don't dare, slave."
The third prince glanced at Eunuch Hou and said with a hint of seriousness:
"Hou Cheng, I will only tell you once. Don't mention anything about Zhou Chen to anyone."
".yes."
Eunuch Hou carefully glanced at the third prince's face, and seeing that he was not really angry, he said softly: "But why do you do this, Your Highness?"
The third prince sighed and tapped his folding fan on Eunuch Hou's official hat:
"Expose this matter. It's okay if it's false. If it's true, I don't know whether Xu Changtian will die or not. Anyway, I will most likely die."
Eunuch Hou frowned:
"Your Highness, you are..."
"My father has thirteen sons and nine daughters, but Mr. Xu only has two."
"." Eunuch Hou.
The third prince snorted softly, his eyes quite helpless:
"Now, because of the war in the north, we have finally eased our relationship with the Prime Minister. If we suddenly come to see this matter, wouldn't it add to the chaos?
"Hou Cheng, remember my words,
"We and the Prime Minister's Government are not enemies, at least not now."
"Slave, please remember."
The carriage drove past the power center of the dynasty and entered the palace directly.
There was silence in the car,
This was the first time Xu Yuan saw the power of his father over the court.
Looking at the posture just now, even if he didn't want to rebel, he might be wearing a yellow robe one day.
Thinking about it, he subconsciously glanced at his father in the car, only to find that Xu Yinhe was also looking at him.
After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yinhe asked with a smile:
"Changtian, what do you think?"
Xu Yuan opened his mouth and pretended to be confused:
"Power is a good thing."
Xu Yinhe was noncommittal:
"Power is indeed a good thing, but what else?"
When Xu Yuan saw this, he knew he couldn't hide it. He glanced deep into the palace and whispered:
"If I were the emperor, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Can't bear it?"
Xu Yinhe couldn't help laughing when he heard this word, but then he sighed quietly:
"Oh, it's true that I can't bear it, but Li Yaoxuan can endure what others can't. For this, my father also admires him very much."
Xu Yuan was a little quieter:
"Father, do you mean that no one else can bear it except the emperor?"
Xu Yinhe narrowed his eyes and replied:
"This, my father is still confirming it, but Li Yaoxuan once said that the second prince is very similar to him when he was young. What do you think?"
Xu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.
This is very direct.
When a prince seizes the heir, it is a major matter for the family and the country. Many scholars in Goulan will discuss this topic after drinking.
This kind of thing has always been something that people talk about.
But from what the gray-haired father in front of me said, there was a high probability that it would be implemented.
But what is going on?
Haven't the Prime Minister's Mansion and the royal family just entered the honeymoon period, why do they seem to be at odds again?
After gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan hesitated:
"Father, is it too early to consider this matter now? Are you because of the prophecy of Jiantian Pavilion?"
Tian Yan said that the emperor would die this year.
But the future deduced by Jiantian Pavilion has been changed beyond recognition because of him.
Xu Yinhe said quietly:
"My father never believes in these prophecies. Except for some other evidence, my father can feel that Li Yaoxuan is really anxious just about the northern border."
Xu Yuan's expression gradually became serious.
Xu Yinhe comforted him softly:
"My father is not telling you about this matter to ask you to think of a solution, but to make you mentally prepared so that you can have a good idea when you meet Li Yaoxuan."
After the words fell, there was silence, and the carriage drove deeper.
A quarter of an hour later, the black dragon carriage stopped next to Daqing Hall.
Subsequently,
A sharp and thin eunuch's voice echoed through the palace:
"Mr. Xu has arrived——"
Cavan
or?
