Before leaving the road with the most people and returning to the palace, he had already sent someone to report the news of his return to the capital.
And even if he didn't report it, the commotion he made after entering the city would still be known to everyone.
The fifth prince, Prince Yu, returned to the capital.
Di Xin had no doubt that less than an hour after he entered the capital, everyone who should know, should not know, and needed to know, had already received the news of his return to the capital.
This naturally includes the old emperor lying deep in the palace.
If the old emperor was really anxious to see him, he would not have to wait for him to return to Prince Yu's palace. The order to enter the palace would have already arrived.
Tired of traveling all the way?
In this world, only other people have always cared about the emperor's feelings. There is no emperor who needs to care about other people's thoughts.
If he wanted to see someone, even if the person had just been stabbed seventeen or eighteen times, as long as he did not die immediately, he would still be carried to the old emperor.
Even if the old emperor saw this person, he would die.
It was at that time that Di Xin finally confirmed that something was wrong that he had felt since leaving the military camp.
Of course, what you think in your heart is one thing, the superficial work should still be done.
Therefore, when he sent someone to report the news of his return to the capital, he also had people present the instructions for entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.
Once you enter the palace gate, you are as deep as the sea.
For some people, the palace is easy to get in but not easy to get out; but for some people, it is easy to get out but not easy to get out.
And for these princes and princes, it is naturally the latter.
Even for the emperor's biological son, once he moves out of the palace as an adult, it will not be so easy for him to enter the palace again.
Unless summoned, anyone who wants to enter the palace needs to report in advance. Only after agreeing can they be allowed to enter the palace.
Of course, the person who agrees does not necessarily have to be the emperor.
It depends on who you want to see when entering the palace.
If you want to see the Queen Mother, or the Queen's concubines, then of course you have to get the consent of these people, and then someone will be waiting at a certain small door in the palace to bring the person into the palace.
After entering the palace, you can only proceed along the prescribed route. Once you break into other places, even the princes and princesses cannot escape.
The rules in the palace are as grand as the sky, and there are guards patrolling everywhere.
In those movies and TV dramas, it is almost impossible to see the palace maid accidentally walking in the wrong place, bumping into a certain prince, and starting a drama of falling in love and killing each other.
The most likely possibility is that he would be caught on the spot by the guards.
At worst, he may be sent to jail for interrogation, or at worst, he may be shot dead on the spot. The specific situation depends on the identity of the intruder and the place where he was broken into.
Even if he was killed by the imperial guards, there would be no room for explanation.
The topic was withdrawn, and when Emperor Xin handed over the certificate for entering the palace, it happened that before Mao hour today, Eunuch Li came to the house to take him into the palace.
The emperor agreed to his request.
The whole journey was silent.
Within the palace, the construction styles are mostly similar everywhere, and there are obvious differences only in some small places and interiors.
Within the palace, in addition to the ordinary guards, there were also many royal worshippers secretly.
Those who can be enshrined in the imperial palace are at least strong in the second level.
From the moment he stepped into the palace until now, Di Xin has sensed the auras of no less than three second-level experts.
Of course, this does not mean that there are only so many worshipers in the Dali Palace, but that there are at least three worshipers sitting on the route he took.
Given the size of the palace, there are naturally other second-level experts who are secretly taking care of areas where these three ministers cannot take care of them.
And if the rotation time is taken into account, the true heritage of the royal family can be seen clearly.
"No wonder there is such chaos everywhere, but this old emperor is still lying in the palace and is not impatient!"
Di Xin sighed in his heart.
With the foundation shown by the royal family now, those troubles are just some troubles, and they will not affect the foundation of Dali.
At this moment, he also doubted whether the old emperor's tacit approval existed when the second prince rebelled and broke into the palace.
Even if we don't mention that the eldest prince who became king may be a clone of the world lord, with the power he has now created in the capital, he still does not dare to challenge the emperor's authority and has never crossed the line.
Don't talk about flesh and blood, filial piety comes first.
Not to mention that the royal family has no concept of family affection. Even the Realm Lord who occupies the body of King Cheng is not the real son of the old emperor, so how can there be any talk of family affection and filial piety.
If he could seize the throne through force, he would definitely have no hesitation at all.
The reason why Cheng Wang has not taken action until now is either because he is not sure of success, or even if he succeeds, the loss will be unacceptable.
And all this shows that the power held in the hands of the silent old emperor is definitely not weak.
Even King Cheng didn't dare to do this. The power in the hands of the second child at that time was much worse than that of King Cheng now. Where did he get the courage to do such a rebellious act?
And it almost succeeded.
After seeing part of the palace's secrets, even Emperor Xin wouldn't believe it if there was no fault of the old emperor.
In order to ensure that the next emperor would not overthrow Dali, Di Xin did not doubt the methods the old emperor would use.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, we have arrived."
Eunuch Li's shrill voice awakened Di Xin from his thoughts.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing in front of a palace gate, with a young eunuch waiting on each side.
"Your Majesty is waiting for His Majesty the Fifth Highness inside. I will leave first."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. This is the old slave's duty."
After bowing, Eunuch Li took a few steps back, turned around and retreated.
Squeak!
The two little eunuchs pushed the door open.
Di Xin looked away, calmed down, adjusted his collar to make sure there was no mess, and then stepped in.
…
After entering the main hall, Di Xin's first feeling was heat.
It's like being in a furnace.
And when he took a closer look, it was indeed no different from entering the furnace.
Centered on the bed deep in the palace, nine coal stoves carved with dragons and phoenixes are arranged from dense to sparse.
The reason why he could recognize that this was a coal stove was not only the dragon-shaped chimney that extended to the top of the palace, but also the eunuchs and maids in thin clothes who were constantly filling in coal and taking out ashes in front of the coal stove.
In an ordinary house, no matter how cold the weather is, a coal stove is enough to warm a room.
Although the emperor's palace was much more spacious, in Di Xin's opinion, it only needed two coal stoves at most.
But now there are nine coal stoves here, and each coal stove not only reflects the identity of its owner in shape, but its size is also three times larger than an ordinary coal stove.
Therefore, at this moment, Di Xin felt as if he had entered the alchemy room of Saint Taiqing.
