Chapter 536; Leaving secretly

"Actually, Yao Yao doesn't like the palace very much, so I promised her at the beginning."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded. He could actually see that his daughter was a person who didn't like red tape and rules.

I would rather live in the countryside, where the powerful are disgusted, than live in such high-end mansions in the capital.

In fact, this is quite good. If there are too many rules, people will become hypocritical.

He doesn't just have one biological child. Putting aside Lu Yunjun's reasons, why does he like Lu Yaoyao's daughter so much?

The main reason is that she is real and has no pretense. When she comes into contact with him, although she seems to be assuming a subordinate attitude, in fact, she is just communicating with friends on an equal footing.

This real feeling made him, who was used to seeing hypocritical faces, find it very valuable, especially after knowing that this girl was still his daughter.

He loves and loves his daughter even more, and wants to give her the best, but due to some reasons, he can only silently use other methods.

However, this is good, at least I can watch her live a happy life.

"I had an idea earlier, what do you think?"

"Oh? Please tell me."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and said, "I will definitely return this position to the Xiao family, but if you don't want to, it doesn't seem appropriate to pass it on to someone else. After all, there are some things that I can't just pass on to whoever I want."

Whose."

In most cases, the throne is passed on to one's own son. Of course, there are also cases where the throne is passed on to one's own brothers, but these are relatively rare.

And usually, the emperor only comes out when he has no successor.

Of course, if the emperor really wants to have his own way, that's okay.

It will just arouse some opposition. As long as the situation in the court is stable, it is not impossible.

"Of course I understand this, but I really don't want this position, and Yao Yao doesn't like living in this deep palace compound."

"Well, I know, so I thought of a way, that is, to pass the throne to your and Yao Yao's child."

"What!"

King Jin stood up in shock.

Pass the throne to his and Lu Yaoyao's children? They haven't even gotten married yet, so it's been arranged?

"You can also think that I have some selfish motives. When I got into this position by accident, I always wanted my descendants to enjoy glory and wealth, right?"

"It is inevitable that the country will be returned to the Xiao family. It is also inevitable that you and Yao Yao will come together. In this case, I can be more willing."

Hearing this, King Jin nodded silently. Indeed, Emperor Hongwen's decision now made him more trustful in Emperor Hongwen's determination to return the country to the Xiao family.

"I don't have any objection to this matter, but Yao Yao and I are not married yet."

"Don't worry, I'm still young. I can sit here for a few years and pave the way for my unborn grandson. What do you think?"

King Jin thought for a moment, and it seemed that Emperor Hongwen had already made a plan.

Thinking about it, this is actually quite good. Not only can he and Lu Yaoyao be together, but the country can be returned to the hands of the Xiao family.

As for the grievances and grudges in the past, he didn't want to go into too much detail. What's more, the death of the late emperor was not caused by Emperor Hongwen, so he didn't feel so hatred.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Since you have this intention, I will definitely work hard."

"Preserve Dongzhou's foundation."

"Um."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and continued, "Leave the capital to me, and you don't have to worry about Yaoyao. I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it."

"As for the north, it's up to you. Remember to put your own safety first. I don't want Yaoyao to be sad."

"Well, I will definitely be careful."

Afterwards, the two of them made some discussions and made some arrangements regarding matters in the north.

King Jin did not leave the palace until the afternoon.

He didn't go back to Prince Jin's Mansion either. Nowadays, he spends most of his time in Chengyuan Villa. Apart from sleeping and resting, he doesn't seem to have much intention of staying in Prince Jin's Mansion.

Soon he fell into Chengyuan Villa.

"Why is it so late? Why are you still here?"

The sun is setting outside now, and it will be dark in a while.

At this point in the past, King Jin had already left Chengyuan Villa and returned to the capital. Why did he come here today?

"I have something to tell you."

King Jin stepped forward and took Lu Yaoyao's hand, and went directly to the back room.

After sitting down, he first told Emperor Hongwen that he planned to secretly go north to pay attention to Duke Zhen and Beichu.

When he finished speaking, Lu Yaoyao frowned immediately.

"The north is the territory of Duke Zhen. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go over there. And as far as I know, the emperor doesn't have many men at his disposal right now."

"Currently, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 troops that are easy to use and can be concealed. However, there are only 20,000 to 300,000 troops on the north side of Zhenguogong."

Although during this period, Emperor Hongwen also recruited some people from Zhen Guogong.

But military power and so on are relatively scattered. The people in Jiangdong in front are all on the surface.

And this time King Jin was secretly observing the execution, so naturally it was not convenient to call on these people, so the only people who could be called on were the twenty or thirty thousand people he had received from Prince Yun earlier.

"The emperor can only give so many people, but I also have some people myself."

"How many people do you have?"

Hearing this, King Jin stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

Lu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. She was quite surprised by this.

She had always known that King Jin had men, but she wasn't sure how many there were. She didn't expect that this guy had a hundred thousand men under his silent command.

"My people are all over Dongzhou. Although there are a lot of them, they are everywhere, so they are not too conspicuous."

"Well, even if that's the case, you have to be careful. I'll have fifty black cloud hunters accompanying you to protect your safety."

"No, I will pay attention to my safety. I am afraid that the capital will not be peaceful. I can rest assured when these people stay here."

Seeing what he said, Lu Yaoyao thought for a while and said no more.

Indeed, there are only a hundred Black Cloud Hunters around her now. The Lu family has had twenty or thirty people to protect her for a long time. Gu Jian is still at the Han family's hometown and has not returned.

Currently, there are only sixty-seven Black Cloud Hunters in her villa.

"Then you must be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

"When will we leave?"

Prince Jin thought for a while and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I will come to your side as usual tomorrow and leave secretly from your side."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, and as night fell, King Jin took his leave and left the villa.

The next day, King Jin came to Chengyuan Villa early in the morning as before. However, he did not stay at the Villa for a while before he secretly set off northward with Yan Yi and other secret guards.

"Hou Si."

"Miss."

"Have people follow me and keep an eye on me at all times."

Hou Si responded and stepped back.
