Chapter 455 Urgent Summoning
"Why is it inconvenient? It's very convenient."
Emperor Yongping was afraid of the cold on the one hand, and afraid of torture on the other, but the real reason why he didn't want to return to the capital was that he was worried that he would have nightmares if he returned to Anren Palace.
Although the problems at Anren Palace were properly handled under the supervision of the imperial master himself, he still felt uneasy.
The nightmare that lasted for more than a month almost cost him his life. He was only over sixty years old and he didn't want to die.
"Father, it is I who need you to return to the capital. The time for the southern tour is approaching, and you must return to the palace to take charge."
Chu Chengyi had no choice but to tell the real reason for bringing Emperor Yongping back to the capital.
He also wanted to follow Emperor Yongping's wishes, but the northern and southern borders were, after all, the new territories of Sheng'an State, and it would take time to integrate them.
As the crown prince, he not only had to give confidence to local officials during his inspections, but also let the people see the hope after they were integrated into the Sheng'an Kingdom.
The Sheng'an Kingdom today is no longer the original Sheng'an Kingdom. Its territory is more than twice as large as before, and its population is twice as large as before.
Border defense issues, local governance issues, and people’s food and clothing issues…
Each one is a big problem.
"Forget it, forget it. If that's the case, I have no other excuses. I'll just go back to the palace with you."
Emperor Yongping was also helpless after hearing the reason.
As an emperor, there are more times when you have no control over your life than when you can do as you please.
The government and the people are his responsibilities that he cannot abandon.
"Thank you, father, for your consideration."
Chu Chengyi felt relieved when he saw that Emperor Yongping had given in.
The things dug out from Anren Palace were processed by the Imperial Master and shown to him. Now, Anren Palace is completely renovated inside and out, so there shouldn't be any impact.
"Hmph, I'm glad to know."
Emperor Yongping flicked his sleeves and walked out carrying Chu Qinshu, who was rummaging through the cabinets on the kang.
When Chu Chengyi followed him out, he had already gone to the compartment.
"Your Highness, the Emperor plays chess and drinks tea with Du Yushi every day. He will not be idle until dinner time. I will take you downstairs first."
Lin Fu did not follow Emperor Yongping, but waited for Chu Chengyi here.
Chu Chengyi didn't make things difficult for him and gestured for him to lead the way.
When passing by the compartment, Chu Chengyi couldn't help but take a look inside.
Du Hongdao was sitting opposite Emperor Yongping, and they were really concentrating on playing chess.
I wonder how long he can keep secret the fact that his children and grandchildren exchanged the "Five Mountains and Flying Fairies" for the city?
His father went out of the capital to escape the summer heat and took Du Hongdao with him. Perhaps he was also trying to buy time for Du Liangshi and his son, right?
Chu Chengyi and his family stayed with Emperor Yongping in the imperial manor for three days before returning to the capital.
When leaving, Emperor Yongping originally planned to take Du Hongdao with him, but Du Hongdao said that he liked quietness and did not like to make trouble, and wanted to stay on the manor. Emperor Yongping let him do as he pleased and even left a few eunuchs to take care of him.
Emperor Yongping was thinking that the matter of "Five Mountains Flying Fairies" could be kept secret for the time being, but he couldn't let Du Hongdao, an old minister, get angry to death.
After all, it was he who tricked other people's children and grandchildren into doing this, so he felt somewhat guilty.
But after they left, Du Hongdao stood in the Moon-Viewing Pavilion at the highest point of the imperial manor and watched them off until he could no longer see Yu Yu, and then he returned to his own room.
No one knew that in his luggage he also contained a copy of "Five Mountains and Flying Fairies".
On the night Emperor Yongping returned to the palace, he did not dare to stay in Anren Palace, but instead moved into the bedroom of Yu's study.
Although I didn't sleep well at the Royal Manor that night, I didn't have nightmares either.
The next morning, Emperor Yongping attended court as usual. In the court, he announced that Chu Chengyi would serve as the crown prince and would go to the southern border for an inspection.
After the court was dismissed, Chu Chengyi set off with his raptor army riding on the spirit eagle, watched by the court officials.
"Your Highness is mighty, and the Raptor Army is mighty."
"His Royal Highness is indeed a man who cares about the world. Even the wild and untamed birds of prey are willing to be accepted by him."
"That bird of prey was tamed by the little princess. Your Highness is blessed to have a good daughter like the little princess."
"The little princess is blessed with good fortune. When immortals from the upper realm come to the world, they have to choose someone. The little princess can choose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as her father, which means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and she have a connection. It is possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew the little princess in his previous life."
"Yes, it is because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the little princess that Sheng'an is so powerful. They have solved the thousand-year-old dilemmas in the northern and southern borders."
"That's right. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the little princess here, I'm afraid that our Sheng'an Kingdom will be able to unify Changxing Continent very soon."
…
The court officials looked at the receding Raptor Army and discussed the matter among themselves.
There was envy, admiration, and jealousy, but when facing the Raptor Army, the court officials had to put aside all their thoughts, unless they wanted to be sent to Yansha Island to do hard labor.
Emperor Yongping remained calm in the face of the discussions of his court officials.
His children and grandchildren are better than him, so he can only be happy.
In his life, he was much more powerful than his father and ancestors.
No matter who conquered the northern and southern borders, they were conquered during his reign, and he will always be mentioned prominently in history books.
Besides, as the crown prince, it is a good thing for his son to establish his authority among the court officials early on, so that things will go more smoothly when he succeeds to the throne in the future.
Chu Chengyi was carried by the spirit eagle and arrived at the Red Spirit Realm that day.
He originally planned to start inspecting each city the next day, but early the next morning, he received a handwritten letter from Emperor Yongping sent by Chu Qinshu from space.
"My son, please return to Beijing as soon as possible."
There was only this one sentence in the handwritten letter. If the handwriting had not been that of Emperor Yongping, Chu Chengyi would have thought it was someone's prank.
"Shu'er, can you hear what Daddy is saying?"
Before leaving Beijing this time, Chu Qinshu was held in the arms of Emperor Yongping, so she would not see Chu Chengyi when she entered and exited the space. Unless she made a special trip on the Spiritual Eagle to find Chu Chengyi, it would be difficult for them to meet.
But Chu Qinshu has been able to send things from space to the outside world, but she has never tried to talk to people outside.
When Chu Qinshu sent him the letter, she opened his video. Seeing him asking questions in the video, Chu Qinshu glanced at An Moyue.
"Write it on a piece of paper and send it to your father."
An Moyue shook his head. The only way this space could communicate with the outside world was through consciousness, and only people who were related to this space could communicate through consciousness.
In other words, apart from him and the little girl, as well as Xiao Jin and Xiao Lu, no one else can do it.
"Um."
Seeing Chu Qinshu nod, An Moyue picked up the pen and started writing the letter.
His little girl, he couldn't let her have any hard time.
Of course, he had to do such a laborious task as writing a letter.
"Dad, the Emperor said he had a nightmare again last night when he returned to Anren Palace. The Emperor said he was going back to live in the Imperial Manor and would never return to the palace again."
