"Chengguo Duke's Mansion? Isn't that on the west side of the palace?"
Prince Fu frowned, and after a while he said: "Forget it, let's not go to Duke Cheng's Mansion, let's go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
Arrange people to clean up a courtyard in the Tenth Prince's Mansion. I can live there and have a drink with the King of Qin! "
"This this……"
Liu Zongzhou and others were a little confused. King Fu didn't play according to the routine at all.
I couldn't live in the Duke Cheng's palace, so I went to live in the Ten Prince's Palace where King Qin was imprisoned. Is this self-aware or should I go and experience the environment of the Ten Prince's Palace in advance?
"Whatever this is, I will go to your majesty and tell you in person, and you just do as you are told!"
King Fu looked at the troubled Liu Zongzhou and took the responsibility on himself.
Then he looked at Zuo Changshi Chen Changan beside him: "Chen Zuoshi, I remember last year that King Qin said that he would treat me to a drink when he came to Beijing, right?
Forget it, what kind of good wine can he have? After entering the city later, you arrange for someone to buy some of the best wine in the capital and order some side dishes. I'd rather treat him to it! "
"Let's go into the city and complete the process as soon as possible. I will go to King Qin for a drink as soon as possible!"
After hearing Prince Fu's arrangement, not only Liu Zongzhou and Cheng Xian were confused, but Chen Chang'an, the chief minister of Zuo who had been in Prince Fu's mansion for more than ten years, rubbed his swollen temples.
My king has completely let himself go.
As King Fu entered the carriage again, the team started moving again and headed towards the city.
The sound of hawking on the street reached the carriage. King Fu opened a crack in the carriage window and looked outside.
Clean roads, small vendor owners with smiles on their faces, waiters soliciting customers on the roadside, and servants with serious faces but getting along with the vendors...
When he was in Luoyang, he had heard all this happening before him from intelligence officers, but now when he saw it with his own eyes, his feelings were completely different.
More than ten years ago, before he became a vassal, he often wandered around the capital.
But although it was lively at that time, the people looked hasty, cautious, humble, cowardly, and their eyes were more indifferent.
Now, more than ten years later, the people are still the same and the streets are still the same, but people's mentality and expression have changed.
The relationship between common people and common people, between common people and traders, and between common people and traders and servants has become more harmonious.
Kindness, equality, confidence, calmness.
It is hard to imagine that this was a change that occurred in a little more than a year after the new emperor ascended the throne.
If he hadn't lived in the capital for decades, he would have thought that the capital of the Ming Dynasty should look like this.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why his eldest nephew insisted on letting him come in through Yongding Gate and go through Qianmen Street, making a long detour.
This is a silent declaration of war against him...or a demonstration to prove yourself!
"This boy has grown up and become tougher!"
After smiling, King Fu continued to look at everything on the street.
More than an hour later, after all the complicated etiquette was completed, it was already noon.
At the entrance of Huitong Hall, Prince Fu looked at Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, and said, "Thank you, Minister Liu. Please go back and report to Your Majesty. I will be waiting for summons at the Tenth Prince's Mansion at any time!"
"Your Highness, Prince Fu, is polite. This is all within the scope of my duties. Your Highness, Prince Fu, please do as you please. I have to return to the palace to get my orders back!"
"Please, I will treat you to a drink when I have the opportunity in the future!"
After King Fu finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage, slowly left the Huitong Hall and headed towards the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Cheng Xian, the minister of Honglu Temple on the side, was full of doubts: "What does this mean, His Royal Highness Prince Fu?
It can be said that it is a broken jar, but this set of complicated etiquette is not bad at all. Even I can't find fault with it, but..."
"Okay, this is not something you and I need to consider! Your Majesty has his own arrangements!"
Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, interrupted Cheng Xian: "Master Cheng, King Fu's meals during his stay in Beijing must not be careless!"
"Don't worry, sir. The official has already communicated with Mr. Huang of Guanglu Temple. They will send special personnel to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
The lower official also arranged for someone to wait at the Tenth Prince's Mansion. If King Fu has any requests, he will report to us immediately! "
"That's very good. Let's go into the palace and recover!"
Liu Zongzhou said and walked towards the palace.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chongzhen was very surprised after hearing the report from Liu Zongzhou and the other two people. For a while, he didn't understand the meaning of Prince Fu's sexy move.
But he didn't take it to heart. No matter what he thought, everyone was already in Beijing, so how could he stir up trouble?
As for when to summon King Fu, he has already decided. If King Fu doesn't take the initiative, he won't take the initiative either. The longer it is delayed, the better it is for him.
Chongzhen didn't take it seriously when Prince Fu went to live in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, but the whole city of Beijing exploded.
There was already a lot of discussion, but now it's completely confusing.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Although the King of Qin's residence in the Tenth Prince's Palace did not restrict his freedom, it was almost a prison! But he gave Prince Fu to live in the Duke Chengguo's Palace. What a big difference?"
"Nonsense, King Fu is your Majesty's uncle, and King Qin is just the blood of Taizu. They can't even fight together. Can't you tell who is close and who is distant?"
"Yes, your majesty can kill other feudal princes and clans, but can you also kill King Fu?
Taizu proposed to rule the world with filial piety when he founded the country. Queen Ma's mausoleum is called Xiaoling. What does it mean to kill her own uncle? "
"None of this matters. It doesn't work openly, but it doesn't work secretly, right?
Was he intercepted by bandits on the road? A foreign enemy assassinates someone to vent their anger or place blame? The carriage fell off a cliff? Is it difficult to create an accident?
The important thing is that Prince Fu didn't want to stay in Cheng Guogong's mansion, so why did he take the initiative to go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion? "
"Is Prince Fu breaking the rules, or is he self-aware? Or is it that His Majesty and Prince Fu have reached some kind of agreement privately, and are you now acting for the other vassal kings?"
…
Various discussions were heard throughout the capital, but they were all extremely low-key. After all, this was a matter involving the emperor and the vassal princes.
The various think tanks, military personnel, counselors, intelligence personnel, etc. sent to the capital by various forces are also puzzled.
What about broken jars, self-knowledge, etc., they are more willing to believe that the emperor and King Fu have reached some kind of agreement.
He looks calm on the surface, but secretly he is probably preparing for a big move!
The simplest reason to judge is that when the vassal king comes to Beijing, the imperial court will definitely send someone to the vassal prince's palace with the imperial edict and the vassal gold talisman. Otherwise, it would be a serious crime for the vassal king to leave the palace privately.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only a handful of vassal kings came to Beijing, and all of them were for reasons the emperor could not refuse.
Now King Fu came to Beijing privately, making great fanfare, traveling around, eating, drinking and having fun. After entering Beijing, he even refused the emperor's arrangement, and the emperor was not angry at all.
If there is nothing fishy in this, they won't believe it even to death.
But they couldn't guess what the emperor was going to do, so they could only pass the news back.
At this moment, one of the protagonists they were discussing slowly entered the Palace of the Ten Princes with his hands behind his back.
The Ten Prince's Mansion is still the original Ten Prince's Mansion, but the people here have changed, or their functions have changed.
What was once the residence of the minor prince has now become the prison of the feudal prince.
After sighing for a while, under the guidance of a boy, King Fu arrived in front of a pavilion.
After looking at it for a moment, King Fu opened the hanging curtain, and the cold wind poured in. The middle-aged man, who had closed his eyes to rest, sat up and glared at the entrance.
"Damn...brother Wang?"
