Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

They also believe that they have the capital to be justified.

Chen Huan didn't say anything else and jumped out of the car.

Zhu Shou looked at the curtain of the carriage door that had been swung down, and pointed with a smile: "This old fellow is now playing the game of pretending to be serious with us! Let's see how long he can keep this up."

"Hahahahaha..."

The coachman's whip fell on the horse's back, and the wheels began to turn slowly again, heading off in the original direction, leaving a few tracks in the snow, and gradually fading away with the principal's unbridled laughter.

……

At the same time, on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Even though it was the dead of winter, with snowflakes falling heavily and covering the roofs, eaves and ground with a thick layer of white, this place, located on the edge of the imperial city and at the feet of the emperor, was bustling with activity, and it was bustling with activity.

Each shop is decorated quite luxuriously and dazzlingly, with a wide variety of goods inside. People coming and going are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, making people feel almost unaware of the severe cold of winter.

Along the river bank are rows of ancient and solemn Hui-style buildings with white walls and gray tiles.

If you stand on a high place and look from afar.

Maybe you can even get a glimpse of the Forbidden City, a place that inspires imagination and is only accessible to the most noble people in the world.

On the Qinhuai River float magnificent pleasure boats of all sizes, decorated with lights and lanterns even during the day. It is these pleasure boats that make the Qinhuai River filled with the faint sound of stringed instruments and orchestras, day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter. If you are lucky, you may even hear the intoxicating laughter of the courtesan.

In such a noisy and bustling environment.

No one noticed that a man wearing a cloak and hood walked down from a large pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River. Naturally, no one noticed that after he got off the pleasure boat, he actually mixed in with the crowd and walked straight to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City.

Walk to an inconspicuous place near the Meridian Gate.

He heard a shrill voice beside him: "Master, please come here with us. We have prepared a carriage for you. Just sit down and we will take care of the rest."

He followed the other party's instructions and got into the car, then lifted his hood.

Many people in the Forbidden City knew him, especially in the Qinhuai River area where princes, nobles, and dignitaries frequented.

——The current Majesty’s uncle, the founding Duke Changsheng.

That's why.

Chang Shengcai had no choice but to use the pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River as a cover and went through such a big circle before he could enter the palace.

At least on the surface, he, Lan Yu, and the Huaixi nobles were in the same party, both in terms of stance and interests. If others knew that the first thing he did after coming out of Lan Yu's mansion was to go to the palace, they would be able to guess what he was thinking.

This is also the reason why he had not had any private contact with Zhu Yunhuan in the previous few months.

But now he had to go and see his eldest nephew.

"As your uncle, I can't help much, but some people are starting to get impatient now. It would be good if you could tell Yunhuan." Sitting in the carriage, Chang Sheng's eyes flashed and he thought to himself.

He knew that his title of "Founding Duke" was purely due to his father's influence. Of course, he had fought far fewer battles than those of the founding generals, and his influence was not that great, let alone that of his uncle Lan Yu.

This is perhaps all I can do...

As he sat down in the carriage, a whip cracked from the front, and the carriage slowly moved forward, heading towards the Meridian Gate...

……

"This is the token bestowed by the current emperor to Eunuch Sanbao. You are not allowed to stop it." The eunuch who was waiting in front and driving the carriage had a shrill voice but it was condescending.

Chang Sheng went to find Ma Sanbao because only he could handle his problem.
