The emperor did not edict the prince to return to Beijing, and the prince was happy to exert his imagination in the prosperous place of Nanjing.

One of the main tasks of the crown prince when he came to Nanjing was to rebuild the imperial palace in order to achieve the emperor's goal of moving the capital back. Therefore, the crown prince does not think that he is in the rear, but is standing in front of his father's relocation of the capital.

This year's earthquake has caused many problems in the palace, especially the original depression, which has become more and more obvious.

I found a lot of craftsmen to see, and they all said that if the ground is not backfilled, the problem will be more serious in the future, not to mention, this also destroys the dragon vein feng shui.

Subsidence backfilling, this is not an easy task.

The palace repair was stuck in this link, and Zhu Zhanji was also a little helpless, on the one hand, he sent people to look for skilled craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, he made key repairs to the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Hall and the Jinshen Palace.

Hua Youcai father and son, after the Dragon Boat Festival, they have already left Nanjing City to go to Shuntian Mansion, and then Xu Zhijin will go to the dock to pick them up, just say that it is a distant relative of the Xu family, and it will not arouse suspicion.

Hu Yanjin and Zhang Yue discussed privately several times, and felt that it was almost impossible to let the prince take the initiative to return to Shuntianfu, except for the reorganization of Nanjing City, there was only one now, which was something he had not done.

That is, Zhu Wenzhi, the mastermind of the rebellion case, has not yet been arrested.

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to coax the prince, saying that he has discovered Zhu Wenzhi's whereabouts, and then encourage him to pursue him personally."

Zhang Yue and Hu Yanjin discussed, and the two walked into the Wenhua Hall together.

The prince was sitting at the table and didn't know what to turn over, when he saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly beckoned to them and called them forward.

"Two Aiqing, there is something I want to discuss with you."

The prince held in his hand the note written by Qin Tianjian, and he said: "Recently, Gu asked Qin Tianjian to observe the celestial phenomena, although they reported that everything was as usual, but Gu was always a little uneasy in his heart.

Do you remember that the flower master once predicted that Lone's father would die in a few years. Although Lone didn't believe it, he had to guard against it. My father ascended the throne in August last year, and now it is May 18......"

Hu Yanjin was overjoyed when he heard this, glanced at Zhang Yue, and stepped forward:

"What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, it has been several months since His Highness left Shuntian Mansion, and after several twists and turns, Yingtian Mansion has finally been governed in an orderly manner. As for the repair of the palace and the backfilling of the ground, it is not something that can be done overnight, and I am afraid that it will affect the time when His Majesty moves the capital.

The minister thought that this was a major event, and His Royal Highness should personally return to Beijing City and pay tribute to the emperor. ”

Zhang Yue also said: "The third day of the next month is the queen's birthday, His Royal Highness returns to Shuntian Mansion at this time, and you can also catch up to congratulate the queen on her birthday. ”

"That's right! If you don't say it, I'll forget! Both public and private should go back. ”

Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied, the reasons for these two had nothing to do with language, and they both persuaded him to go back, so he immediately clapped his head and said:

"Two days later, we will go north and return to Shuntian, and you will immediately hand over to your deputy and prepare to return to Beijing."

Hu Yanjin and the others couldn't help but look at each other and smile when they left the Wenhua Palace:

It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also anxious.

However, the reason they thought of before was not useless, otherwise, how could they just open their mouths and come?

On May 20, the crown prince and the eldest princess drove out of Nanjing City. Hu Yanjin of James's Mansion and Zhang Yue of Jinyi led the team to accompany him.

Lan Xi dressed as a female official who was dressed as a buckwheat, and also left this bustling city where she lived for six years.

When they arrived at Guanglingyi, they changed to the prince's treasure ship and set sail north.

Along the way, the buckwheat was uneasy.

Because seeing that May was about to pass, Daddy said at that time that she didn't remember the days, only that she couldn't remember May, she hoped that it wasn't true, but she believed that Daddy was right, so ...... His own father was going to die in the next two days......

Hu Yanjin saw that Hua Qiao didn't even have the heart to eat, so she knew that she was worried about this matter. When he saw a harp in the prince's room, he smiled and said:

"Your Highness, why don't you play a song for Weichen, so that you and the two talented ladies can also relax."

Sun Cairen smiled: "This feeling is good, His Highness's head has been hurting for a while, listening to the tune, it can also be slow." ”

Hu Yanjin smiled slightly, and played the "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" that he and Hua Qiao had played:

Thousands of miles are slight, and the wild geese come to the Chu River and the sky, and the blue clouds and sky are pure.

The sky is one color, the white sand is even the sky and the river is boundless, and the river is in autumn.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he listened to the song, and the buckwheat across the wall had already shed tears.

The boat traveled to Siting Station in Pei County, and Zhang Yue, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw from a distance that someone was waving a flag on the shore with a triangular tooth, which was a flag with an edict.

He chuckled in his heart: Today is May 29th!

Wang Zhen hurriedly went to the cabin to report to the prince and went ashore to receive the holy decree.

Although Zhu Zhanji was mentally prepared, it was a prophecy after all, and now that it was really going to happen, he still felt unacceptable.

Sure enough, it was the emperor who was seriously ill and dying, and the prince Zhao returned to Beijing.

If you are dying, then there is hope.

Coming out of the post station, I saw Zhang Yue already standing on an ordinary passenger boat. Hu Yanjin said to the prince:

"The light boat is in a hurry, we will change to two ordinary passenger ships, and the prince's treasure ship will still follow the original route as usual."

The crown prince nodded, they still have ten days to go to Shuntianfu, and anything can happen.

The rest of the itinerary is all day and night, and when I arrive at the post station, I change boatmen, but it still makes people feel slow. Ten days of water, eight days to complete.

By the time he arrived at the Beijing Division, on June 7, the emperor had already died on the ninth day.

The king of Han arrived a day later than the crown prince, and when he heard that the prince had entered the palace in the suburbs of Beijing, he almost died of anger. He received the news two days late, calculating the time, even if the prince got the news two days earlier than him, he would not enter Beijing faster than him.

So he discussed with his staff, and brought elite soldiers into Beijing. He also left a few of his generals behind, and set up ambushes on both water and land routes, intercepting and killing Zhu Zhanji, and he was even more foolproof.

When the King of Han entered the palace in a hurry, he saw that Zhu Zhanji had already received the holy decree of succession and began to arrange the enthronement ceremony.

Originally, there were several cabinet ministers such as Yang Shiqi in the palace, and there was no panic at all, but now that the prince has returned to the palace, everything has become calm.

"My good nephew, Uncle Huang wants to ask you, the emperor has only been funeral for ten days, how did you rush back from Yingtianfu, which is two thousand miles away? Could it be ...... You already knew that the emperor wanted to return to the west, so he set off early? ”

As soon as King Han's words came out, the courtiers in the main hall remembered this stubble:

That's right, the prince came back a day earlier than the King of Han in Shandong, and even if he traveled day and night, he was on the road at least ten days early.

"The emperor hasn't heard how he was seriously ill before, he went to court on the 28th, and died on the 29th, what is the reason for this?"

King Han couldn't swallow this evil breath, and the boiled duck watched it fly. He had to stir up the situation.

This question is actually a question from the ministers, but no one dares to raise it. Now, combined with the prince's early return to Beijing, things have become delicate.

Seeing that the ministers were discussing, King Han said proudly: "The ministers ask that the Zongren Mansion carefully find out the cause of the emperor's death!" ”

"As you wish. I will let Dali Temple and Zongren Mansion jointly investigate and try this case! ”
