As soon as Yu Wenhao left the palace, he saw Chu Shoufu's carriage waiting outside the palace gate. Chu Shoufu asked someone to stop him and asked him to get in the carriage.
On the carriage, the curtain fell, and Chu Shoufu's voice was slightly sullen, "You are too impulsive. You will lose the emperor's face by doing this. And wouldn't it be ironic for your son to ask him about the crime of unfilial piety?"
Yu Wenhao said: "Chief Assistant, I know that I am reckless, but these two or three days have driven me crazy. Grandfather's condition is not optimistic, and I must receive treatment as soon as possible."
The chief assistant sighed, "Now you got your wish, but you also lost your official position and were grounded. Your hard work these days has been in vain."
Yu Wenhao smiled and said, "Be optimistic. At least the position of the prince is not abolished."
"If this continues, it will happen sooner or later." The chief assistant said worriedly.
Yu Wenhao looked at him, "Chief Assistant, please don't get too excited. This matter is not as pessimistic as you think. I contradicted my father like this in the court today. He looked angry, but did not punish me severely.
It's just cutting off the officials and banning me. Have you ever thought about it? With how harshly my father treats me, if he is really furious and disappointed in me, how can he stop like this?"
"What else can we do? We've already cut down our ranks." The chief assistant couldn't be optimistic.
"When I cut my official position, I didn't give the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture to anyone. I even asked Lao Qi to take over Jingzhao Prefecture. Everyone knows that Lao Qi is mine and the power has not been left to me."
The first assistant was startled for a moment, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"There may be something behind this!" Yu Wenhao became more and more certain.
The first assistant looked at him suspiciously, "What do you think is the inside story?"
"Has the First Assistant never doubted why my father's attitude toward his grandfather changed so much?"
"I have doubted it..." The first assistant pondered for a moment, "Just looking at the overall situation, the emperor does not need to make such a big show. Nothing major is happening at the moment, and all the officials have left first.
Here, the various state governments submit major and minor matters, and I read them first before submitting them to the emperor. Except for the serious troubles in the North Desert of Xianbei, the country is very peaceful. The most important thing is that if the emperor has other arrangements, it must be for the capital.
There are changes in the capital, but what could happen in the capital that even the Jingzhao Mansion and the Forbidden Army don’t know about?”
Yu Wenhao looked at the old chief minister and fell into troubled contemplation. The man in front of him was called a shaker in Beitang. It is not an exaggeration to say that he controlled half of Beitang. He was also used to knowing everything.
In his heart, especially after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he has seen all His Majesty's every move. There is no need to speculate, and the Emperor's thoughts cannot be hidden from him.
Now it was the first time, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking.
"Is Your Highness really so optimistic?" Chu Shoufu simply didn't want to think about it and asked Yu Wenhao directly.
Yu Wenhao nodded, "Yes, think on the bright side."
Yu Wenhao is not really that optimistic in his heart, but he cannot be the first to be pessimistic.
The carriage brought Yu Wenhao back to the mansion. Yuan Qingling was waiting in the mansion. When he saw that he came back safely, he hugged him first without asking anything else.
Yu Wenhao also stretched out his arms to hug her and breathed a deep sigh of relief, "Old Yuan, my father allows you to go to the other village."
"Really?" Yuan Qingling couldn't believe it, "What's the price?"
"I'm going to cut my official position and ban him from his position!" Yu Wenhao said pitifully, but his eyes were filled with relief.
Yuanqing Linghao was so angry that he said, "If you don't want to be the governor of Jingzhao, I won't do it. I will support you."
"Please take good care of me in the future!" Yu Wenhao immediately agreed to stay at home and take care of his children.
Yuan Qingling pulled him to sit down and asked him to tell her everything that happened in the palace. After that, Yuan Qingling comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid. Grounding and loss of office are both trivial matters. It's good that you haven't been deposed."
"You really care about the position of prince." Yu Wenhao said jokingly after he relaxed.
"This is the wish of the emperor's grandfather." After Yuan Qingling finished speaking, he walked outside and called Man'er, "Pack your things and we will rush to the other village overnight."
