June 30, the 24th year of Zhaohua.
It took six days for the emperor's eldest son to arrive in Kyoto.
During these six days, he did not visit the three provinces and six ministries.
He lived in the former East Palace of the Crown Prince, but he did not want a maid to serve him.
Even the eunuch didn't ask for one.
He was accompanied by two men.
One is called Amu.
One is called Wang Zhenghaoxuan!
He only met with Wen Boiyu and other important ministers at the South Gate six days ago. After he stayed in the Prince's East Palace, he did not summon Wen Boiyu and other important ministers.
But his whereabouts were not hidden.
For example, senior officials from the Imperial City Department or the three provinces and six ministries knew that he had left the palace every day for the past six days.
Once in a while.
Sometimes even two or three trips.
He didn't bring any guards, only the two swords of Mu Shan Dao followed him.
He went to the small courtyard where he and Sun Tuozi lived for a long time.
I have been to the three tombs halfway up the mountain behind Yunjibieye.
He had a drink with Amu Wang Zhenghaoxuan in the small courtyard.
Wine is the picture of spring.
The dish is pickled pig tail.
He poured three pots of wine in front of the three tombs and placed a plate of tributes on each side.
The tribute is also sauced pig tail.
He burned a lot of paper in front of the grave.
Then we spent half the night in Yunji Bieye.
He also went to Dingguohou Mansion and Huaxi Villa.
He stayed in the Huaxi Courtyard for a whole night. He stayed in the pavilion by the lotus pond and watched the new lotus flowers growing in the lotus pond all night.
It was not until dawn that he and Amu Wang Zhenghaoxuan returned to the palace.
This makes Nian Chengfeng and others very worried.
Government Hall.
Nian Chengfeng looked at Wen Boiyu, "The emperor's eldest son...could it be that he hasn't come out of the shadow yet?"
Wen Boyu poured a cup of tea for Nian Chengfeng and sighed: "Before the eldest son of the emperor arrived in Kyoto, I was actually a little worried, but since he arrived in Kyoto, I have known what he has done these days. After that, I felt relieved.”
"I think he went to the places where he stayed in the past and paid homage to those people he knew well in the past, just to get out of the shadow, that is, to bid farewell to the past."
"He is indeed a smart man!"
"Just wait, I think you'll be here soon."
Before Wen Boyu finished speaking, Chang Zuoqing, the imperial father-in-law, hurriedly walked into the political hall.
He stood in front of Wen Boiyu and others and bowed his hands: "My lords, the eldest son of the emperor invites all of you to go to the imperial study for a talk!"
…
…
Royal study room.
Xiao Wu was still wearing blue linen clothes.
He was not sitting in front of the Dragon Case. He stood by a wall and looked carefully at the huge map that Li Chenan once hung on the wall.
His eyes began to wander from Jade Capital in Kyoto.
We walked to Guangling City, Zhouzhuang on Jiangnan Road, Jiangbei, Shuzhou Ancient Road, and Chongqing Mansion.
His eyes fell to Xishan.
When Wen Boyu led the three top officials from the three provinces into the imperial study, Xiao Wu stretched out his hand and landed on Xishan.
He touched it carefully, withdrew his hand and turned around.
When he turned to look at Wen Boiyu and others, there was no trace of sadness on his face.
His eyes are clean, bright, and transparent, without a trace of dust!
He stretched out his hand and sat down in front of the tea table.
He was not familiar with making tea, but after thinking about it, he felt that this thing should be similar to decoction.
So, he took out the fire stick and lit the tea stove, and then looked at Wen Zhuiyu and others sitting opposite.
He smiled.
It was midsummer, but his smile made Wen Boiyu and others feel like they were breathing spring breeze.
Eunuch Chang was waiting beside him, currently sharpening his ink——
The eldest son of the emperor was unable to speak, so he could only communicate with the officials by writing.
There were also pens, inks, paper and inkstones placed in front of Wen Boiyu and the others.
This made Wen Boyu feel a little weird.
The imperial study room is very quiet, and I think it will be very quiet here for a long time to come.
It just takes more pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Pretty good too.
Xiao Wu was in no rush to write.
He waited for the water to boil, took the tea leaves and put them in the teapot, and waited for the tea to boil again.
He then turned off the stove and poured a cup of tea for each of Wen Zhuiyu, Nian Chengfeng, Su Yian and Qi Yao.
Eunuch Chang has already polished the ink.
Then he picked up the brush and wrote two sentences on the paper:
"My name is Xiao Wu, Li Chenan's brother. Tomorrow, I will set off to Changle Palace."
"On July 15th, I will ascend the throne in Changle Palace. No ceremony is required, and all ministers do not need to attend."
He put down the brush and handed the piece of paper to Wen Boiyu.
Wen Boyu was startled when he saw it. It was not that the enthronement ceremony was perfunctory, but the time he chose.
July 15th!
Ghost Festival!
The door of hell is open...
Wen Boyu suddenly understood what Xiao Wu meant, so he nodded cautiously.
He passed the piece of paper to the other three people. They were all shocked, but Xiao Wu picked up a pen and wrote on the paper:
"The promulgation of the policy of the Central Government will still follow the rules of the Regent during his lifetime. Wherever the imperial edict needs to be issued, it will be sent to Changle Palace. I will stamp it with a jade seal and publish it to the whole country from the Yizheng Palace."
"Changle Palace doesn't need palace maids or royal chefs. I only need a few royal doctors from the imperial hospital."
"In addition, Marquis Dingguo has no intention of becoming a general, so you can look for someone else."
"I'm not good at state affairs. I'm just a doctor. If there's anything you can't decide...I probably can't decide it either, so you can just pretend I don't exist."
"But if you or any of the other ministers are ill, you can ask me for a prescription."
"For national affairs...if you need me to show up or do something, just send someone to Changle Palace to tell me."
"I have only one request!"
"The policy adopted by the Prince Regent during his lifetime cannot be changed!"
"That's it. If you have nothing else to do, just retreat."
Eunuch Chang seemed to be in a dream.
From beginning to end, no one in the royal study said a word.
In the entire imperial study, the future emperor met with the four most important ministers, leaving only a few lines on the two pieces of paper!
That's it!
When Wen Boyu and others left, the eldest son of the emperor stood up to see them off.
All the monarchs and ministers bowed.
It’s mutual respect——
The eldest son of the emperor entrusted the country's country and future to Wen Boiyu and others.
This gift from Wen Boiyu and others was a token of their gratitude to the eldest son of the emperor!
I am grateful that he does not care about political affairs.
I also feel that although he is deaf and mute, his heart is open.
Xiao Wu drank a pot of tea alone.
He got up and left the imperial study, taking Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan to the Baihua Palace.
He picked up the hoe that Concubine Zeng Li often used and went to hoe the ground all afternoon.
But not planting flowers.
Instead, he hoed all the flowers, plants and trees in the Baihua Palace.
Early the next morning.
He took Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan out of the palace and set off towards Changle Palace.
No riding.
There was no sedan chair.
The three of them walked on foot.
There is also a big black dog that Wang Zhenghaoxuan got from nowhere.
A few days later, a decree to calm the people spread throughout the world.
Changle City suddenly had an influx of people, and the housing prices in Changle City also skyrocketed instantly.
Li Wenhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, was not happy about the gradual filling of the treasury.
He sat in the courtyard.
Looking at the rounding moon in the night sky.
Youyou sighed:
"You shouldn't have come to Kyoto!"
Li Chenxi, who was standing next to him, looked at his father and whispered: "After all, he came, but he left again, and he died!"
"Haier searched all over Chongqing Mansion but could not find the third uncle and his wife."
Li Wenhou was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Do you think he is really dead?"
Without waiting for Li Chenxi to answer, Li Wenhou stood up and said, "I will write a letter for my father. Tomorrow, you will set off for a trip to the Four Winds City in Kyoto, Yue Kingdom."
Li Chenxi was startled: "What are you going to do?"
"Go find someone."
"……who?"
"Ning Jingyu."
