When Xie Mulin ascended to the top and overlooked the Forbidden City, Xiao Rui followed behind King Yan and was walking in the Forbidden City.

They had just gone to the Fengxian Hall to worship their ancestors, and by the way, they explained to their ancestors Xiao Rui's "life experience" and King Yan's decision to pass on the throne to Xiao Rui.

After doing all this, King Yan took his newly released son Xiao Rui and slowly walked in the Forbidden City, introducing him to this palace city that had never really welcomed its master.

The Forbidden City was built by Emperor Taizong Zhu Biao, who demolished and rebuilt the original Yanwang Mansion, what kind of construction was built, what pattern, what should be the name of the palace courtyards, and even where to plant trees, what trees to plant, where to use what patterns should be used for painting walls...... All of them were clearly stipulated in clear terms, and no one dared to make changes to the craftsmen without permission, so in general, this imperial city was built according to the ideas of Emperor Taizong.

The main body of the Forbidden City had just been completed, and the surrounding annexes had not yet been built, when Emperor Taizong died suddenly. Before that, he had come to Beiping to inspect, but because the interior of the Qianqing Palace, which had just been completed at that time, had not yet been completed, he did not live in it, but chose another palace to rest. After his death, the move of the capital was not done, although the prince who was succeeded as the king of Yan was bent on fulfilling his last wish and completing the Forbidden City, but he was already the identity of the vassal king, and was stared at by the new emperor and the queen mother, and did not dare to cross the thunder pool, so he never lived in the Forbidden City for a day. Except for the New Year's Festival and sacrifices, he will not even set foot in this palace city for half a step.

He also built a palace for himself, on the edge of the unfinished Forbidden City, separated from the Forbidden City by a pool of liquid. That vacant land was originally intended by Emperor Taizong to build a summer palace and vacation courtyard, but even the foundation has not been laid, but the demolition of the people has been completed early and the location has been reserved. Due to the lack of funds, the palace that King Yan built for himself was a little shabby, accounting for only half of the vacant land. However, the successors had relatively abundant money, so they successively expanded and rebuilt, and now it is a very spacious and solemn prince's palace. The Yanwang Mansion and the Forbidden City are only separated by a Taiye Pool, which is also more convenient when you need to go to the Forbidden City to worship the royal ancestors.

To this day, the Forbidden City has never had a true owner. In history, there was a gentleman King Yan, who felt that such a gorgeous and magnificent palace was unoccupied, and only some palace eunuchs who were responsible for cleaning and maintenance could live in it, which was too tyrannical, so he secretly took the opportunity of the sacrifice to find an excuse to live in the imperial city for one night, and also lived in the bedroom that should have been arranged for the emperor in the Qianqing Palace. Soon after, the news reached the palace, but in March or two, the king of Yan suddenly died, and the royal family succeeded a prince to inherit the throne, completely ignoring the fact that although he had no concubine, he had a biological concubine. Regarding the cause of his death, the Yan Wangfu did not comment much, but after that, the successive Yan kings acted more cautiously.

It is said that the eldest son born to the first emperor when he was still the son of King Yan, but for various reasons, he lived in the Forbidden City for one night, but he did not stay in the Qianqing Palace, but lived in the palace originally reserved for the prince. At that time, he was still the eldest son of the first emperor's favorite, the first emperor had just entered Beijing and ascended to the pole, and after marrying a new queen, he felt guilty about the original partner and the eldest son, and turned a blind eye to this matter, as if he didn't know. It was only later that the prince of Yan was defeated in the battle for the heir, and when the competitors fabricated the accusations, this article was also added. The first emperor's feelings for this eldest son were not as good as before, and he added suspicion and did not stop it, so the prince of Yan was given white silk. Because some things, if they are only done in private, are nothing, but once they are made public, it is a different matter.

King Yan took these old stories as a small story, told his "son", and reminded him: "You will inherit the throne of King Yan in the future, and you must be cautious and cautious." No matter which prince inherits the throne in the future, he is not a sibling who grew up with you, and there is no deep affection at all. You'd better be more wary of Xinjun, and don't think that you can get away with it just because you have done a little trick. The person who sits on the throne, no matter how close you once trusted and loved one, when he became emperor, you can no longer see him as the person you used to be. ”

This is undoubtedly the heartfelt words of King Yan. Xiao Rui remembered that the emperor had dug up the corner of his younger brother before he became the prince, and hooked up with his future brother-in-law Xiao Mingzhu, but he sat back and watched her being killed by Empress Cao, and he never presided over justice for her, until the Cao family was powerful and threatened the imperial power, he gave birth to the heart of eradicating the Cao family. If the emperor still had a trace of sincerity towards his own brother, a brother and sister who risked his life to kill the enemy for the sake of his wealth and glory, he should not have taken advantage of his brother's expedition to seduce his brother's unmarried fiancée. King Yan recognized the true face of this imperial brother early on, and never had delusions, so he is still doing a good job as King Yan, who is deeply favored by the emperor, holding the power of the northern army and leaning towards the north, but he never has to worry about the emperor's suspicion.

Of course, this may also be because King Yan has never had a son, and he has long acquiesced to the fact that he wants to succeed the prince as his heir.

Xiao Rui looked at King Yan, thought about his situation, and said very solemnly: "My son understands the seriousness of the matter, and there will never be any disrespectful behavior. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will assist him wholeheartedly, be loyal to him, and dare not have the slightest dissent! ”

King Yan smiled: "You don't have to be so serious about it, as long as you do your duty and don't have delusions." If the emperor sitting on that chair in the future is not Mingjun, but asks you to do something that will endanger the society of the country, do you still want to be loyal to him, but abandon the Zhu family? There is no such reason! No matter who sits on the throne, the most important thing is, of course, our Ming Dynasty. ”

King Yan smiled: "You don't have to be so serious about it, as long as you do your duty and don't have delusions." If the emperor sitting on that chair in the future is not Mingjun, but asks you to do something that will endanger the society of the country, do you still want to be loyal to him, but abandon the Zhu family? There is no such reason! No matter who sits on the throne, the most important thing is, of course, our Ming Dynasty. ”

Xiao Rui thoughtfully,
