Chapter 625: Return to Kyoto
June 24, 24th year of Zhaohua.
On this day, Li Chenan and his entourage entered the uninhabited Netherworld Valley of Boundless Mountain.
They had to go through the hardships and dangers along the way to cross the Boundless Mountains and reach the lower Yuan Prefecture of the Wu Kingdom.
The road ahead is difficult.
But in order to save Zhongli Ruoshui's life, Li Chenan did not hesitate at all.
He's unstoppable!
It was also on this day that Xiao Wu and his entourage returned to Yujing City, Kyoto, in Ningguo.
At the south gate of Yujing City, Wen Boilyu led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to welcome the return of the emperor's eldest son here.
Yujing City boiled.
The people who had once grieved the death of the regent now rejoiced in the return of the emperor's eldest son.
The dead are gone, and the days have to go on.
It has long been rumored in Beijing that the emperor's eldest son will ascend the throne as emperor after his return.
Although I didn't know who Xiao Wu was before, some news about the eldest son of the emperor has been circulating in Beijing these days-
For example, he has been living in a small courtyard in an alley in Kyoto.
For example, he has a peerless medical skill of life and death.
For example, he is a close friend of the regent Li Chen'an.
Of course, there is also the hidden disease of his ears and unable to speak.
As for why he has this hidden disease, the culprit pointed to by those rumors is Concubine Li!
It was the woman with a heart like a femme fatale, who poisoned the emperor's eldest son through the eunuch Wei San in the palace just a few days after the emperor's eldest son was born.
The eldest son of the emperor had a great life, he survived, and he was left with such a disability.
This made the people of Kyoto feel some sympathy for the emperor's eldest son, and as for the disability, everyone knew it in their hearts, but they could never mention it in the future.
So, some people sighed with emotion, saying that after all, it was a real dragon, and after so many tribulations, now it has finally returned to the palace and finally achieved a positive result.
As for the regent Li Chen'an...... Although he died on the top of the West Mountain, he used his death in exchange for the return of the emperor's eldest son.
Since he and the emperor's eldest son have a brotherly affection, he wants to wait for the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne, and Xu will bury Li Chen'an's remains in the imperial mausoleum.
The regent's previous policies will not change much.
In recent days, it has been rumored that the imperial palace will be moved to Changle Palace-
This is news that shocked everyone.
As the capital of several dynasties for thousands of years, the people did not understand why the palace was being moved out now.
Think about it again, and the autumn festival will be held in Changle Palace......
This means that the political and cultural center of Ningguo will change from Yujing City to Changle City!
If the eldest son of the emperor really chooses to ascend the throne as the emperor in the Changle Palace in Changle City after returning to Beijing, then the news of this rumor can be confirmed!
Just in the last few days, I heard that the head of the Yan Mansion, the Yan Guogong Yan Jinyue, had gone to Changle City and bought a large courtyard in the nearest street and alley called Xidi Street to Changle Palace.
I heard that the Duke of Qi, Cheng Guogong, and even the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion, as well as well-informed businessmen, have all flocked to Changle City in the past few days.
I even heard that some businessmen in Gangnam Province got the news from somewhere, and they are also coming to Kyoto, and they are also going to Changle City to have a look.
Kyoto's well-to-do businessmen seem to be unable to sit still.
The news from Changle City said that the housing prices in that place are like the Yudai River after the rainstorm, which is rising day by day!
But there are still many people who are still waiting.
They were skeptical, and always felt that such a thing as moving the capital was too ridiculous.
It depends on the changes after the return of the eldest son of the emperor.
He's going to be emperor!
In the end, he will choose the palace in Changle Palace or the old palace of this jade capital...... But no one can say for sure, and not everyone can control it.
The wide Suzaku Avenue, even though the sun is very strong at the moment, is still full of people from Kyoto on both sides of the Suzaku Avenue.
Their sweaty cheers are the ardent anticipation of the emperor's eldest son.
Xiao Wu sat in the carriage.
He lifted the curtain and looked at the excited crowd outside.
He didn't know what they were cheering for, but he was extremely lonely.
So, he lowered the curtain.
It was a city he knew all too well.
There were people he knew very well.
But when he came back this time, he felt that the city had become very strange.
Thinking about it at the moment, there are no familiar people who used to be.
Grandpa Sun is gone.
In addition to Grandpa Sun, his closest people are Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui.
But they died on the top of the West Mountain for themselves.
Although Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan came back together, in their hearts, the importance of these two people in his heart was inferior to Li Chen'an and Zhongli Ruoshui.
I still remember that day was August 13 in the 23rd year of Zhaohua!
The first meeting with Li Chenan was in Sister Ruoshui's Huaxi Annex!
Li Chen'an's communication with himself starts with a piece of paper!
He wrote a sentence on that piece of paper: Xiao Wu, I like you very much!
Xiao Wu grinned.
His face was still clean, and his eyes were still clean.
It's just that tears gradually filled his eyes, and after a while, they dripped down the corners of his eyes.
"I'm a man!"
"You're a man too!"
"The master said that no matter how deep the relationship between two men is, they can be friends and brothers, but they can't be ......"
"You and Miss Ruoshui can talk about liking, and I can be friends!"
Li Chenan took the pen and wrote:
"Love is not the same as love."
"I said I like you, I like your happy character, I like to be with a happy person, we are friends now, I hope we can become brothers in the future."
We are already brothers, but I have lost you, how can you make me happy in the future!
You said that you would accompany me to see the stars, the rain, and the snow in the future, but you are gone.
I was very happy when you said that, and I said that it was good for me to watch the stars and the rain and the snow alone...... It's not good.
It's lonely to be alone.
It's boring.
I felt that the stars were far away, and it was raining and cold, and it was snowing...... The heavens and the earth were vast, like a dead silence.
But if you have friends by your side, I think it's a completely different state of mind.
I actually have a doubt in my heart, I should only be eighteen years old this year, the same age as you.
But the eldest son of the emperor should be twenty-one years old this year.
How did I become the eldest son of the emperor?
I didn't tell anyone.
You are gone, I will guard this country, it's not that I want to be the emperor, you should know my thoughts...... It is to keep it, hoping that the ideal seed you sowed in the past will bloom and bear fruit.
Xiao Wu sighed deeply, lifted his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face.
He rested his hands on his knees, and his waist grew straighter.
His eyes gradually became firm.
In his heart, he meditated:
"From now on, my name is Ning Zhinian!"
"Brother Chen Anwu, Xiao Wu, has gone with you!"
"In the next life, we will be brothers again!"
