Chapter 1871
Something big happened in Lingzhou. The two garrisons had complicated connections in the local area. This time, they were both imprisoned, and more than a dozen officials were implicated.
"The imperial sister has children to support, and the prince consort...Alas!" Emperor Zhaowu's eyes turned red as he spoke.
The pair of eyes that were already bloodshot looked even more haggard, and the spider-web-like bloodshot in the whites of the eyes became more distinct, as if they were about to bleed. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "I plan to go to Lingzhou to take a look myself."
"You?" Xiao Yunde was surprised.
Emperor Zhaowu nodded slowly, his slender fingers clenching the sleeves of his bright yellow dragon robe, leaving a few wrinkles on the brocade. "For the past year or two before and after my son ascended the throne, I was trapped in the capital, confined to this small imperial city... Father, do you remember? You often taught me and my brothers that a ruler should be aware of the suffering of the people."
Xiao Yunde didn't respond to him, as if he was reminiscing.
Emperor Zhaowu added, "My son wants to go to Lingzhou in person while my father is in charge of the government in the capital. My sister and her husband have contributed too much to the Northern Wing, and I should go and support them at this time."
The imperial power changes, and every emperor has his own ministers.
A princess from another family was once favored by Emperor Mingde, but now it is the reign of Emperor Zhaowu. Has she fallen from power and favor?
I guess many people are guessing.
Even though Princess Haiyan's son and daughter were conferred the titles of marquis and princess at birth, everyone knew that those titles were bestowed upon them when the crown prince was regent. They also knew that those were earned by the prince consort with his life for his outstanding military achievements.
"This time when I go there, I will confer the title of Princess Haiyan on my younger sister." Emperor Zhaowu thought a lot.
Only he could personally support her and shock the people, letting everyone in the world know that Princess Haiyan was still trusted and loved by the new emperor.
At the same time, he was afraid that Lingzhou would be in chaos. So many officials were involved, and if they fought to the death, the princess and the children would be in danger.
"If the prince consort were here, I wouldn't worry." Emperor Zhaowu was worried.
But now the Ministry of Rites has already started the funeral rites for the prince consort, and the princess has lost her husband and cannot handle the funeral alone.
Xiao Yunde swallowed the words "The prince consort is not dead" several times before finally saying solemnly, "I'll go."
He also wanted to go to Lingzhou in person to see his prince consort, his daughter, and his little grandson and granddaughter.
He was more worried about the chaos in Lingzhou. Even if Cen Yuan was there, he had limited troops and could not show up. His daughter and children were there, which was really worrying.
Emperor Zhaowu shook his head gravely, "Father, please stay in the capital and let me handle this matter. You..." His Adam's apple rolled, "I need this to establish my authority."
Xiao Yunde stared at the young emperor's taut jawline and instantly understood the new emperor's difficulties.
He retired at the height of his dynasty, leaving the country to his son. But the new emperor was still young and had not made much of a difference before then.
Speaking of achievements, it is the disaster relief of Prince Ling recorded in the middle part of "Records of Mountains and Rivers of Beiyi" written by Yan Xingchen.
But this is not enough to intimidate the court, and an iron-blooded approach is also needed.
However, he, the "previous emperor", had written the most glorious chapter by using the Son of Heaven to guard the country. There was not much room for the new emperor to play.
But at this moment, Emperor Zhaowu proposed an even more shocking idea, "Father, 'The Son of Heaven guards the country's gates'..." His raised face was illuminated by the beacon-shaped lampstand, "Your son is willing to use his body as a shield to guard the country's gates!"
The emperor guards the country!
He wants to move the capital!
Emperor Mingde was stunned for a moment, looking at his son, he could not hide his excitement, "You want to move the capital to Lingzhou?"
Emperor Zhaowu had obviously thought it through and it was not a whim. He took out a sheepskin map from his sleeve and unfolded it. Lingzhou, which was circled in cinnabar, was right at the junction of the three kingdoms, like an arrowhead wedged into the enemy's territory.
