To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 454 The new King of Zhennan

  The girl in the vanity mirror looked indifferent, and said calmly: "Spread the emperor's benevolent deeds for the Zhennan Palace."

  Since Emperor Yong'an didn't do it, she used public opinion to force him to do it, and let him taste what it's like to drive ducks to the shelves.

  Keer replied yes, thought for a while, and said, "Girl, this kind of rumor involves the emperor, the governor will know—"

   "It's okay, just do as I say."

  Kuer stopped talking and gently combed Luo Sheng's black hair.

There was a rumor in the streets and alleys of the capital: the emperor had long suspected that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was framed by the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, so he was not executed after the youngest son of the Zhennan Prince was found last year, but was protected in the name of house arrest. . Now that the Pingnan Prince's Mansion has collapsed, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has finally been redressed, and someone succeeds...

  The news reached Dudu Luo, Dudu Luo remained silent for a long time.

   "Rumors spread quickly, please rest assured, the child is investigating the source."

  Luo Dadu returned to his senses, took a deep look at Yundong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Check it out, but rumors are like duckweed without roots, the source is so easy to find out, just do what you can."

  Yun Dong felt that what the adoptive father said had some deep meaning, and he didn't quite understand it for a while.

  The hands that fell on his shoulders strengthened: "Go, you are the most trustworthy foster father."

   "Retire, baby." Yundong exited the study with fists in his hands, suddenly stopped while walking, and turned his head to take a deep look at the closed study door.

  What does foster father mean... so that he doesn't have to investigate deeply?

  Why is this?

  Curiosity disappeared in a flash, and Yun Dong walked forward with a blank expression.

  No matter what it means, in short, he just did as his foster father ordered.

  Luo Dadu stood by the window and meditated for a moment, then opened the door and went out.

   "Your Majesty, Governor Luo is asking to see you."

  Emperor Yong'an had just returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from Concubine Xiao Gui, when he heard the report from Governor Luo asking to see him.

"pass."

   Not long after, Governor Luo came in and bowed to salute: "I have seen the emperor."

   "What's the matter?" Facing his closest ministers, Emperor Yong'an asked straight to the point.

   "It is rumored outside that Zhennan Wangfu Zhaoxue has been rehabilitated..." Governor Luo told the rumors he had heard, and he clearly saw Emperor Yong'an's face darken.

   After a while, Emperor Yong'an asked lightly: "How did the rumors come about?"

   "Wei Chen is investigating."

  Emperor Yong'an frowned, not expecting to find out the first person who spread the rumor.

   Rumors are like this, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, it is too difficult to trace the source. And once it spreads, it will be like a prairie fire, which is the most troublesome.

   Sending the Governor Luo down, Emperor Yong'an paced back and forth, weighing the affairs of the Zhennan Palace.

  Zhou Shan stood aside, not daring to disturb.

   "Zhou Shan, why do you think there are such rumors?" Emperor Yong'an asked suddenly.

  Zhou Shan bowed his head and said: "I feel that the people are so ignorant, and they often listen to the wind as rain, and I like to take it for granted. Seeing that the Pingnan Palace was dealt with, I thought that the Zhennan Palace would be revived..."

  Emperor Yong'an's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked deeper and deeper.

  One of the crimes of the Pingnan Palace is to frame the Zhennan Palace. Now the news of the Zhennan Palace's revival is spreading, and the people believe it.

  Emperor Yong'an was a little annoyed, but he wouldn't let the anger get to his head.

   During these years in office, he has already understood that it is not possible to do whatever he wants while sitting in this seat, and many things must be balanced and compromised.

   Of course, the premise of balance is that the imperial power will not be endangered.

   A child with only one guard left, can he cause a storm if he is kept in captivity under his nose?

   "It is said that the six departments and nine ministers entered the palace to discuss matters."

  After two days of discussion, the decree of the revival of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was passed on, and the orphan of the Zhennan King was sealed as the new Zhennan King, and the property that was charged to the treasury back then was returned according to the book.

   What is subtle is that the mansion given is the Yuanping Nanwang Mansion that has just been vacated.

   On the day when the original Pingnan Palace began to be repaired, the outside was full of spectators. Standing among them, Luo Sheng watched with his own eyes that the gilded door plaque with the words "Pingnan Prince's Mansion" was taken down and replaced with a brand new door plaque.

  From then on, this mansion of Biwa Zhumen is Zhennan Wangfu.

   When wintersweet blooms in November, the repair of the palace is completed, and the new king of Zhennan chooses an auspicious day to move in.

  The new king of Zhennan was happy to move to the house, and all the officials and dignitaries expressed their wishes, either going there in person or sending congratulatory gifts.

  When Governor Luo took Luo Chen to a banquet, he was stopped by Luo Sheng.

   "Is there something wrong with Sheng'er?"

  Luo Sheng said confidently, "Father, I want to go too."

  Governor Luo was taken aback for a moment: "Go to... Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

  Luo Sheng nodded, and glanced at Luo Chen: "It's so lively, why do you only take your younger brother?"

  Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

  Luo Dadu smiled dryly: "The king of Zhennan is still young, if Sheng'er goes, the palace may not have a suitable female family member to receive him."

   "It's enough to meet King Zhennan. My daughter heard that King Zhennan is about the same age as my younger brother. She was very curious about what he looks like, and she became a prince at a young age."

  Luo Chen couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What does this have to do with age?"

   What about taking the imperial examination?

  Seeing that Governor Luo was silent, Luo Sheng softened his tone: "Father—"

   "Okay." Governor Luo blurted out his agreement.

  Luo Chen silently rolled his eyes.

   On the way there, Luo Sheng rode in a car, and the father and son rode on horses.

  Luo Dadu sat on his horse, looking at the brand-new Zhennan Palace from a distance, with a complicated expression on his face.

  Luo Sheng lifted up the corner of the car curtain, took a panoramic view of Governor Luo's reaction, lowered his eyes and smiled.

  She can probably understand the mood of Governor Luo at the moment.

  Luo Dadu led his troops to raid the Zhennan Palace and then the Pingnan Palace. The Pingnan Palace in the capital was transformed into the Zhennan Palace, and he brought a pair of sons and daughters to congratulate him.

   And the son beside him is the real new king of Zhennan...

   It would be strange if the mood was not complicated.

  Luo Sheng's mood is also complicated.

   It is a step forward to restore the reputation of Zhennan Wangfu by adding fuel to the flames, but now it is not Baoer who occupies the title of Zhennan Wangfu, and it is not easy for Baoer to restore his true identity.

  Luo Sheng stared at the handsome young man riding a horse for a long time.

  Luo Chen stared straight ahead, but that gaze still stopped on him.

  The boy couldn't help frowning.

  Luo Sheng has been staring at him to see why, even if they are brothers and sisters, it is not appropriate to stare at him endlessly.

   Could it be that your hair is messed up, or your face hasn't been washed?

  Luo Chen tried his best to suppress the urge to touch his hair and face, turned his head and asked Luo Sheng with a straight face: "Sister, what's the matter?"

  Luo Sheng came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay."

   After finishing speaking, he lowered the curtains of the car neatly.

  Luo Chen stared at the shaking car curtain and took a deep breath.

  He is not angry, who let him have such a sister!

   After driving for a while, the carriage stopped, and Governor Luo's voice came into the carriage: "Sheng'er, the Zhennan Palace is here."

  The car was quiet for a while, the door curtain was raised, and Luo Sheng walked out with his head down.
