Chapter 113. Enter the East Palace

The road from Yangzhou to Chang'an is long and quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe jungle on the side of the road is dense, and I don't know when a fierce beast will jump out.

King Jin has walked from this road to Chang'an countless times, but none of them has felt as long as this time.

The wheels rumbled forward non-stop, leaving Yangzhou and the Jin King couple who were gradually moving away with their attachment here. They silently said goodbye to everyone who passed by, flowers and trees, and suddenly felt that they had become extremely cute, more than a hundred times cuter than when they saw them before.

"Goodbye Yangzhou, we will be back." King Jin lowered his eyes as he spoke. His expression was full of reluctance.

Princess Jin looked at King Jin, who was reluctant to go all the way, and remembered Emperor Yang of Sui who went to Yangzhou three times in history. Is there a curse left at this time?

"Your Highness, although Yangzhou is good, it is just one of thousands of cities. How can it compare to Chang'an City? That's where the emperor is. The world's good talents gather, and Chang'an, which is full of writers, can be matched by a Yangzhou? Princess Jin seemed to be comforting King Jin, and she seemed to be comforting herself.

Yes, Chang'an is so good, even she has to admit that she prefers Yangzhou.

I like the flowers of Yangzhou, the song and dance of the warbler in Yangzhou, and the small bridges and flowing water in Yangzhou. Prefer the fond memories of the countless days and nights spent here.

Now, their departure may be a farewell.

Most of the sons of heaven in the peaceful and prosperous era have been stationed in Chang'an forever since the time of the crown prince and never leave for the rest of their lives. Occasionally, it doesn't go hundreds of miles away.

If the history books are not wrong, King Jin is not an ordinary emperor. He will come back. Thinking of this, Princess Jin suddenly felt a lot more relieved. As everyone knows, the artistic conception of King Jin beside her is thinking about the route of Yangzhou in the future.

Along the way to the inn, the officials congratulated King Jin when they knew that he was named the crown prince, and they were much more enthusiastic than when they usually passed by.

Originally, every time I passed by, the reception of the post station was grand enough. I didn't expect it to be more grand and more cautious now.

"It's really funny, this king has just been crowned the crown prince, and it seems to them that he has changed a person. The changes before and after are too great. King Jin poured a cup of tea while complaining to Princess Jin about the great changes in the attitudes of the post station officials.

"Isn't it? If people don't experience the change of identity, how can they know the face of the world. When Princess Jin said this, she thought of the ending of Emperor Yang of Sui in history. In his last days, I don't know how to feel when I saw such a different attitude.

If you can, I hope you can change history and don't let such a cruel scene appear in the life of King Jin. A person as sharp as him doesn't know how uncomfortable it will be when the time comes.

Just when Princess Jin was in a daze, the wheels jolted as if they had touched something.

She snapped back to reality. I saw the king of Jin open the curtain of the carriage and look into the distance through the carriage window.

"It's finally here!" King Jin said, his expression complicated.

What awaits him ahead? Is it the opposition of the ministers or the flattery? Will they treat themselves like the officials in the inn? Or will he sneer at his second son for winning the crown prince?

When I arrived at Chang'an City, it was already a time of loss. They entered Chang'an City before the gates were closed.

At this time, the lights on the street are on, and there is less of the hard work of ordinary people making a living, and more of the laughter and laughter of drunken children who are drunk and dreaming of death.

No one noticed that this low-key convoy was the King of Jin who had returned from his post in Yangzhou.

Because the emperor and queen like a simple life on weekdays, the Jin couple did not move everything from Yangzhou. I just picked up some of my favorites and brought them over. Most of the flashy things have been given to relatives and friends.

Many of them were collected by King Jin with a lot of effort over the years. When he gave it away, he was not merciless, and he knew that taking Chang'an could only be called something that hindered his progress.

The procession crossed Suzaku Street, walked through the imperial city and went directly to the East Palace.

At this time, the former crown prince Yang Yong had already moved out of the East Palace, where the door was empty, and there was no sound inside, showing decay and coldness everywhere.

King Jin helped Princess Jin get out of the carriage, and when he looked around, all he saw was loneliness. I think he came here a lot back then, and he never thought that he would become his own.

"This East Palace has been unoccupied for a while, and it seems that it will take a lot of effort to bring it back to life." Princess Jin said with a slight frown.

King Jin looked at her gently, "This is going to be a hard time to love the concubine!" ”

"Father, mother!"

Before Princess Jin could speak, she only heard a familiar shout. When I looked back, I saw a big fat man shouting in the distance and they came over. By his side, the emperor and the queen also came over.

"See Father, Queen Mother!" King Jin and his wife saluted the emperor and queen together. He looked at the fat boy in front of him with wide eyes.

"Zhao'er? How did you get fat like this? ”

"Hehe, see Father and Queen Mother!" Yang Zhaohan smiled and saluted.

The queen looked at Yang Zhao's parents who still couldn't accept it, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, "Have you brought everything?" Why is it so much? ”

"After returning to my mother, some of the heavier things were given to relatives and friends. King Jin and I don't need so many things in our lives. Princess Jin replied obediently.

"Good! Good...... Good! The emperor said three times in a row, "It's better to live frugally!" He clearly admires the lifestyle of his son and daughter-in-law. is very similar to him and Queen Dugu, which proves that he has not done anything wrong.

Lately, he has been doubting whether his decision is true, but he has never been able to convince himself that he was right. Now seeing King Jin and his wife, he finally convinced himself. He did the right thing by deposing the crown prince, and it was obvious that King Jin was more responsible.

"Your Highness, these are the palace people newly assigned to the East Palace. Among them, there are ten palace maids and ten fathers-in-law. Handed over to the East Palace to send! "Gonggong Wei, who was beside the emperor, brought a group of palace people over and reported to the king of Jin.

The emperor and queen looked at them and smiled and nodded, acquiescing. Although they didn't want it very much, at this time, the Jin Wang couple could only thank the reward.

After the emperor and queen took Yang Zhao away, King Jin and his wife have been directing everyone to carefully carry and place daily necessities.

Before dark, everything was in place. The room was spotless, but it still felt deserted.

"Is this what it's like to live in the East Palace?" Princess Jin seemed to feel that everything was not quite real.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, everything has been arranged. It's time to eat! "A little eunuch came running to report.

"What His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The old man next to him yelled at the little eunuch sternly.

King Jin pretended not to hear. sighed in his heart that now he was the prince. Only now do I really have a little bit of realism as a prince.
