Chapter 1186 Are you okay?
She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes: "Da Ci'en Temple?"
"Well, after that incident, I sent people to Jinling to supervise its construction."
“…”
After that incident?
In other words, they dealt with the Jian family's grievances and Prince Ning's case together, and after giving the world an explanation temporarily, Zhu Feng started to deal with this matter?
Nan Yan looked down at the letter again, her eyes focused on the words "Da Ci'en Temple".
Ci'en Temple...
She asked softly, "The Emperor's purpose in building this temple is—"
Zhu Feng said, "There's a nine-story pagoda in this Ci'en Temple, called the Chong'en Pagoda, which is still under construction. I asked them to calculate the date, and by the time we arrive in Jinling, it will be almost completed."
"Zhong'en Tower?"
Nan Yan repeated the name and immediately came to her senses. She said, "Has Your Majesty read the sutra about the difficulty of repaying the kindness of parents recently?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You know this too?"
"I have nothing to do these days, so I asked them to find some Buddhist scriptures to read and cultivate their character."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just read these Buddhist scriptures. What are you cultivating? What are you trying to do with your sexuality? I don't want to see you being pure and unselfish."
Nan Yan glared at him.
Then he continued, "The Emperor built this Chong'en Pagoda and named it this because..."
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and said, "The solution we came up with before only temporarily resolved the Jian family's grievances and the Ning Wang incident. However, the things Ning Wang revealed are still circulating among the people. Although public opinion in Peking has been somewhat controlled, it's different in the south."
Nan Yan nodded: "Oh."
Indeed, since he moved the capital to Beiping, the jurisdiction here has naturally been strengthened. Relatively speaking, the control in Nanjing, as the old capital, is not as strict as before.
In addition, after the students returned to Jinling, they spread the news everywhere and rumors spread.
Now, I'm afraid the people there are already very demoralized.
Zhu Feng said, "Therefore, on the day the Chong'en Pagoda is completed, I will send the late Empress Chen and some of Emperor Gao's relics there for enshrinement, to demonstrate the ideal of governing the world with benevolence and filial piety."
Nan Yan listened and nodded slightly.
This is a very good thing to do. This action at least tells the people of the world a fact: no matter what the rumors are, he is the son of Emperor Gao and Empress Chen. Doing so can effectively shut up the people.
Zhu Feng added: "When the time comes, I will also invite some local prominent families, including -"
Having said that, he paused slightly.
Nan Yan immediately came to her senses: "Including the students from those academies?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm still considering this matter."
“…”
"It's still risky to let these people come."
Nan Yan nodded.
This matter has both advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that these people obviously have opinions about the emperor, and they have even developed disloyalty, which is why they caused such a big incident in the south. If Zhu Feng really invited these people to the scene, it is unknown how big a incident would happen that day.
But there are also advantages. These people are the most powerful opponents of him in the south. If he can invite these people to come and clarify the truth in front of the people of the world, then there is a chance to calm the turmoil in the south.
However, it is hard to say how things will develop.
So, Zhu Feng is still considering it.
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we still have a few days before departure. Besides, we will be on the road for some time. The emperor can consider it carefully before making a decision."
Zhu Feng nodded.
Then he said, "So you should prepare well these few days, because we don't know how long you will be gone."
"I understand."

In the following days, there was indeed chaos in the palace.
You know, since Zhu Feng ascended the throne, although he traveled a lot, he almost only took Nan Yan with him, and other concubines rarely accompanied him; the last time the capital was moved, everyone followed along, but that didn't count.
This time, all concubines above the second rank, including Prince Wei and Princess Xinping, will be included.
This is a big deal.
Therefore, the concubines in each palace were very busy for a while. It was the beginning of spring, and the palace was supposed to make new clothes for the ladies in each palace. So everyone was fighting over the fabrics and patterns. The Shangyi Supervisor worked hard for several days in a row, and finally made those clothes.
On this day, when Xu Miaoyin brought Mingxin and Princess Xinping to the cold palace to visit Nanyan again, she also brought two sets of clothes.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have caused the Empress to worry."
Xu Miaoyin smiled faintly and said, "It's just on the way. The people in the Shangyi Bureau were so busy that they forgot to send it this way."
"Actually, I have enough clothes."
"It's not about whether it's enough or not. This time the Emperor is building the Da Ci'en Temple and sending the relics of the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager there for worship. This is also a major event. As a noble concubine, your clothing cannot be simple or neglected. This is etiquette."
"I understand."
Nan Yan obeyed obediently and asked Ran Xiaoyu to put away her clothes.
The two of them sat and chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Xu Miaoyin took Mingxin and Princess Xinping away.
Just as Nan Yan was about to lie down and rest for a while, she heard Aunt Tongyun say in the yard, "Your Highness? Your Highness the Prince of Wei, why are you here?"
King Wei? Zhu Chengxuan?
Nan Yan was startled and immediately opened her eyes.
At this time, a familiar young voice came from outside, and asked carefully: "Mother, isn't she here?"
"The Queen just left."
"oh……"
The voice seemed very lost.
Nan Yan subconsciously walked to the door and saw Zhu Chengxuan standing at the gate. Aunt Tongyun was looking at him with a complicated expression.
Nan Yan said, "Your Highness the Prince of Wei, why are you here?"
Nan Yan hasn't seen Zhu Chengxuan since the Great Altar.
Children of this age grow very fast. He is at least half a head taller than he was six months ago. The young man's figure has gradually become tougher, but he has also lost a lot of weight. His face used to be chubby, but now the fat has almost fallen off, and the lines of his cheekbones and mandible are very clear.
But, it's a bit too thin.
Still a little haggard.
He raised his head when he heard Nan Yan's voice, his eyes lit up, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Your Highness!"
Seeing him, Nan Yan felt a little complicated.
Zhu Chengxuan happily took a step forward, but immediately, as if remembering something, he stopped and said, "These days, Queen Mother won't let me go out and only allows me to study in Chengqian Palace. I haven't been able to come visit you. Are you okay?"
