Emperor Ming Yuan leaned on the cushions of the Luohan bed and beckoned Concubine Hu to come and sit next to her. "Today, I made a decree to restore Yu Wenjun's royal status."
Concubine Hu lay quietly in his arms, "If a son does something wrong, his father will always forgive him. This is human nature."
"I don't want to make this decree at all." Emperor Ming Yuan's voice was full of exhaustion, "He is the eldest son of the emperor, my first son. I loved him deeply, blamed him deeply, and hurt him so much that I deposed him. See
He is down and out, and I am not happy either. That's all. The bloodline between father and son can never be broken. If we throw out a trash and cut off the relationship after giving birth to a child, we are just deceiving ourselves and others."
"Yes, could it be that if we cut off the relationship by decree, then we really are no longer father and son? This relationship is irreversible." Concubine Hu said.
"After this incident, I have made up my mind. Lao Wu can now take charge of his own affairs, but I have delegated the power to him. Although the Northern Tang Dynasty is not suffering from internal and external troubles, it is also surrounded by crises. I am getting old and my energy is not as good as it used to be. It is time for me to
Let the prince share some of the burden for me."
Concubine Hu raised her head to look at him, reached out and stroked the lines on his forehead, her eyes filled with infatuation, "That's the best. You haven't stopped during these days. If the prince can share the burden with you, he can also let you have a good rest."
one time."
"It's time to let him help with the affairs of the government." Emperor Ming Yuan made up his mind.
Two days later, Emperor Ming Yuan sent a message to Yu Wenhao to enter the palace and asked him to deal with Prince Bao.
Emperor Ming Yuan made it very clear that he made the decision whether to kill or to retain.
Yu Wenhao was very worried. Although the matter of the child in Chu Mingyang's belly had been solved, the whereabouts of the military map had not yet been found, and the real murderer of Lu Yuan had not been found.
At this time, he was asked to make the decision to deal with Prince Bao. He really didn't know how to give this order.
He invited the chief assistant and Gu Sili to come to the mansion to discuss.
Princess Anfeng made many contributions to the Northern Tang Dynasty. It can be said that when Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, Princess Anfeng had an indelible contribution.
Both the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Ming Yuan knew this, and the chief minister believed that it was because of this that Emperor Ming Yuan did not issue this decree.
The chief assistant analyzed: "The emperor's intention is not to leave Prince Bao behind. What a heinous crime it is to dig the graves of our ancestors? But he cannot make this decree. He is not willing to antagonize Princess Anfeng."
Gu Si looked at Yu Wenhao, "In other words, the emperor wants you to show up like this. As for whether it will offend Princess Anfeng... It's hard to say. Now that the princess has moved directly there, I don't know if it is necessary."
Protect him."
Yu Wenhao looked at the chief minister, "You know a lot about the princess. Do you think she will protect Prince Bao?"
The chief assistant said: "She has always been clear about grudges and upright. If she were young, she would never protect Prince Bao, but now that she is older, her heart may be much softer. It's hard to say."
He looked at Yu Wenhao, "What do you think?"
Yu Wenhao said: "If we don't care about anything else and only rely on national law, Prince Bao will definitely be sentenced to beheading."
He paused and then said: "Actually, there is no need to talk about anything else about this matter, just the national law. Digging the graves of ancestors and stealing military maps is already a capital crime. If Princess Anfeng insists on protecting him, I can only
It’s just that I offended her.”
Chu Shoufu nodded slightly, "It's good for the prince to think so. There are laws to follow. Princess Anfeng must know that she won't stop it."
