After the thunderstorm stopped for a while, after the rain, the entire capital city was still washed by water, showing a different appearance.
Looking down, we can see that the entire capital city is as neat as the mine field, with wide streets, neat squares, and unified shape, divided into 120 squares and 12 markets.
"The ancestors built the capital city with great planning. The world is prosperous and prosperous like this."
Circles of honor and nobility tend to gather together, especially the royal family and relatives.
The houses where princes and princes live are basically given by the emperor.
The emperor did not have many sons. When the houses were first given to the kings, the houses given to the kings were old houses from the previous dynasty with large areas and good locations.
When the sound of horse hooves came towards this alley, the people living nearby, not to mention the owners of the deep house and compound, and the servants who had been ordered to keep an eye on the movement outside were already looking out through the crack in the door.
"Hey! Someone passed by! So many people!"
"At least thirty riders, where are they running to?"
"Aren't you going for that one?"
The "one" this servant was referring to was none other than Prince Ninghe.
Everyone living nearby is aware of Prince Ninghe's situation.
Everyone knows that the future of this county king was completely ruined when he was demoted to the county king.
If the struggle between the kings fails and the old emperor becomes the final winner, the Ninghe County Prince may not necessarily continue to be unlucky.
After all, no matter how much the person in the palace hates Prince Ninghe, since he was only demoted to the rank of Prince in the first place, as long as the Prince of Ninghe does not continue to cause trouble, he will probably continue to be the Prince in the future at worst.
Even if all the kings failed, the Prince of Ninghe County might not have the possibility to compete for that position again.
Even if the kings get the fruits of victory, they may treat the prince well.
If the successful person is the King of Shu, King Qi, the King of Ninghe County is unlikely to fight, so he may win over this brother.
The situation of the country is different from what it was back then.
Even if King Qi of Shu comes to the throne, it is still almost impossible to monopolize power as soon as he ascends the throne. You have to calmly deal with the situation - having a brother who can help you is not a bad thing.
But if the person who wins in the end is the son of the former crown prince who makes all the kings hate him, this will probably be the worst outcome for Prince Ninghe.
"A storm is coming!" There was a fourth-grade official, wearing a half-worn silk robe, with a long face and an air of writing. He stuck his head out and took a look. Thinking back to all the things that happened some time ago, he couldn't help but feel emotional and even more panic.
.
Any change in the world cannot only affect a small group of people.
For ordinary officials in other places, it may not matter who becomes the emperor, but for ordinary people in other places, the impact is even smaller.
But for those at the feet of the Emperor, even ordinary people can feel a sense of nervousness.
When a major event occurs, even ordinary people, no matter how dull they are, will close their homes and not dare to take to the streets easily.
Ordinary people are like this, let alone officials who are involved in factions?
If you're afraid of falling into the big leagues, go out to Beijing in a group.
Ignoring the whispers, thirty cavalrymen arrived at the Ninghe County Prince's Mansion surrounded by a eunuch.
Eunuch Tu pedaled down the dismounting stone in front of the screen wall, and the accompanying Tiqi also rolled their saddles and dismounted. Eunuch Tu did not immediately order to knock on the door, but looked around indifferently.
This is a mansion surrounded by high walls, with lush greenery inside. There is a dragon plaque in the middle of the gate with the five characters "Ninghe County Prince's Palace" written on it. Four palace lanterns are hung under the eaves. The gate is covered with copper nails. It looks like Very majestic.
Even for princes like Prince Ninghe who had been trapped, although the palace is no longer luxurious and luxurious when he was a prince, the house is still there, and the empty shelves are just empty shelves. Even if the door is tightly closed, ordinary people still dare not come near.
But despite its majestic appearance, not even the concierge was there, it was empty.
Or maybe it's because no one came at all.
As long as the dignitaries were not confused, they would stay away from this area on the day when Prince Ninghe became the Prince.
In the long run, it is possible that there may not be a concierge at all.
Today, the emperor has to be replaced, and the successor still has not had a good relationship with the kings. The palace where Prince Ninghe lives is even more deserted to the point where no birds fly over the palace. .
This is the current situation of Prince Ninghe.
Eunuch Tu said nothing more. His boots made a crashing sound on the stone road. Seeing that no one responded for a long time, he ordered: "Knock on the door!"
Eunuch Tu didn't show his face at all in the palace, and he even lived in poverty for a while, but Zhao Bingzhong turned over after him, and naturally the tide rose, and he started to tremble too.
He was sent to the Ninghe County Prince's Mansion to convey the decree. This was an attitude from above.
He already knew the contents of the imperial edict.
It is said that once the emperor is equal to his courtiers, is it not true for the princes of the past?
He was not favored when the old emperor was around, but after all, he still occupied the title of a prince at that time.
Even if the old emperor is displeased and has doubts, at least he is still a county king.
Now, all we can do is continue to decline.
"Prince Ninghe, come out to receive the order -" As the voices of hundreds of Tiqi households rang out, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the palace of Prince Ninghe, which had been closed.
"There's no need to hold an umbrella with our family. We won't be able to stay here for long." Seeing hundreds of households coming over with umbrellas, Mr. Tu waved his hands and said disapprovingly.
Prince Ninghe, who was once trapped, sent someone to supervise him.
At first, the control was strict, but later it was loosened. Now the situation has changed, and some people are trying to figure out their intentions. They don't dare to neglect such things, so they still send people to hang around here.
The rain began to patter again, not too heavy and not worth putting on a raincoat, but it was unbearable after being rained for a long time.
Eunuch Tu stood waiting at the door. When he saw that the door was not open yet, he suddenly became impatient.
Just as he was about to ask someone to break down the door again, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, revealing someone walking out of it.
The person who came out was not short, but he looked very haggard, not thin, and even a little bloated and obese.
Eunuch Tu had seen various kings in the palace in the past, and after careful identification, he could barely make out the appearance of Prince Ninghe from this man's face.
The Prince of Ninghe County has become a bit older than he used to be!
But then he thought about it, the Prince of Ninghe whom he had met back then was still in high spirits, but he had not seen him since he had been reduced to the title of Prince.
Even though he was originally a transparent character, he was just a prince who enjoyed glory and wealth. He fell down to become a county prince and was hated by the old emperor. After experiencing various changes, it is not surprising that he turned into this decadent appearance.
"Prince Ninghe." Eunuch Tu said to Prince Ninghe with a calm expression: "There is an imperial edict, please accept it!"
Although the word "you" is used, this attitude cannot really be called very respectful.
Even if the person who comes is a eunuch or an angel delivering a decree, with this attitude, it means that the person who comes is not good.
Could it be that the new emperor knew about it because he went out late at night to watch?
Prince Ninghe's heart suddenly pounded, and he had an ominous premonition. He almost staggered, and he took advantage of the situation to bow down and kowtow his head on the cold stone slab.
"My lord, I respectfully listen to your will, long live it!"
