Prince Anfeng entered the palace today, inside the Qiankun Hall.
The Supreme Emperor's injuries were no longer serious, but the departure of his beloved wife had a certain impact on him. Coupled with the fall and blood loss, he looked very haggard and tired.
Prince Anfeng also invited Emperor Mingyuan over, and the three of them stated Prince Bao's request in the palace.
Before Emperor Ming Yuan could say anything, the Supreme Emperor had already said coldly: "How can a rebellious minister and traitor be granted the title of emperor? When my father rectified his name, he had already disobeyed Emperor Xian's will. Now we must not be threatened by him."
Although Emperor Ming Yuan agreed with the Supreme Emperor's words, he couldn't help but feel worried, "But now that the military map and Emperor Huizong's body are in his hands, uncle and father, what do you think we should do?"
The Supreme Emperor said excitedly: "The descendants of the Yuwen family must not be coerced, not to mention the body. Even if he puts the knife on the orphan's neck and wants to take the orphan's life, he will never agree. This is unfilial, but
If you think about it carefully, it is unfilial anyway, how can you let him get his wish?"
"Then... if you don't agree to the first condition, the second one will naturally not hold true." Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at Prince Anfeng secretly, "Uncle, do you have a way to calm him down?"
"What's the matter? Do you want me to go and apologize to him?" Prince Anfeng glanced at him, his face solemn.
"I have no such intention." Emperor Ming Yuan said.
The Supreme Emperor asked: "How is the investigation going on the Prince's side?"
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "The prince has sent people to Western Zhejiang, but when they arrive in Western Zhejiang, they will at most rescue the old lady. Bingtu and Hui Zongye's body are definitely not in Western Zhejiang."
The Supreme Emperor said sternly: "The old lady must be rescued. Once something happens to the old lady, Daxing will be offended. In order to clear Yu Wenjun of stealing military maps, you took advantage of her and claimed that she participated in the casting of weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
To cause her to be missed by thieves and fall into their hands, the old lady must be rescued at all costs."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "Yes!"
Prince Anfeng said: "Don't worry, the old lady is following Snow Wolf, and everything will be fine. Now we have to let one person take charge of this matter. Do you want to entrust the important task to the prince?"
Emperor Ming Yuan hesitated for a moment, "I only let the prince handle it, because he is afraid that he is inexperienced and the matter will involve too much."
"I have great confidence in him," Prince Anfeng said suddenly.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the Supreme Emperor, who said dullly: "What do you think Gu Zuo is doing? He is the boss, listen to him."
Emperor Ming Yuan was reluctant, because the matter of the military map and the theft of Emperor Huizong were temporarily concealed, but it would be impossible to conceal them after making a big fanfare.
Dazhou will pursue the matter of the military map, Daxing will pursue the matter of the old lady, the royal family and even the ministers of civil and military affairs will pursue the matter of the theft of Hui Zongye's body. In other words, if Lao Wu is given the full power to handle it, it will be natural if he can handle it well.
He is the best and has made great achievements.
But if he doesn't do it right, he will become the target of public criticism.
However, the Supreme Emperor and Prince Anfeng both wanted to leave it to Lao Wu, and he had no suitable candidate to trust at the moment. After thinking about it, he agreed.
The edict was sent to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and the edict stated that Yu Wenhao could mobilize everything and even the military to deal with this matter, and that all three parties must return to their posts.
This was the first time that Emperor Ming Yuan had given Yu Wenhao power, and even military power could be handed over to him, which made Yu Wenhao feel even more pressured.
He called Gu Si Lingyan and Tang Yang to discuss together overnight. There was a curfew in the middle of the capital, entry and exit restrictions at the city gates, and strict inspections of all major inns, taverns, and tea shops. All temples, ruins, remote villages, and even the mountains around Xiaoping Village in the middle of the capital.
Troops were deployed to investigate.
This move naturally caused people to panic. However, the yamen and the palace remained silent. Many officials did not know the reason for this move and began to walk around frequently to inquire.
As for Prince An, Yu Wenhao knew that he had something to hide, so he asked Yuan Qingling to find Princess An "by any means necessary" and asked Princess An to inquire from her pillow.
