Yu Wenhao was speechless. Who was guilty in this matter? Didn't he tell them all?
"Just do what I want." Yu Wenhao rubbed his brows, "Go ahead."
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, father and son cannot deal with meritorious people."
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily: "Are you going to resist the decree and disobey it?"
"Father," Yu Wenhao stepped forward and begged sincerely, "Yuan Jie has indeed made meritorious service. If he were to punish a minister who has made meritorious service, it would chill the hearts of thousands of ministers."
Emperor Ming Yuan stared at him with sullen eyes, "If you can't handle this matter, there are plenty of people who can. You can figure it out yourself and get out!"
Yu Wenhao wanted to say something more, but Eunuch Mu Ru had already stepped forward and said: "I will send you to the prince."
Eunuch Mu Ru winked at him and signaled him to stop talking.
Yu Wenhao felt depressed for a moment. Knowing his father's temper, if he contradicted him now, he might not be able to get a fair result for Yuan Jie.
He bowed his hands and resigned, "My son, I retire."
Eunuch Mu Ru sent him out, and when he got outside the door, Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "Before dawn today, Prince Qi's Mansion sent someone to the palace to report that Princess Qi was pregnant."
Yu Wenhao's eyes were calm, "I know, thank you father-in-law for letting me know!"
Eunuch Mu Ru sighed softly, "Go ahead, Your Majesty. Yuan Jie has been wronged for the time being, and the Emperor knows it. He will definitely make compensation in the future when the matter subsides."
Yu Wenhao only sneered in his heart, saying that he would make up for it in the future, but this sentence of slow rescue would hurt the general's heart.
He did not return to the Yamen. He had not thought about how to explain this matter to the Yamen people.
The scene that day was seen by many officers and soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion. Yuan Jie really tried his best. If Yuan Jie was convicted, everyone in Jingzhao Mansion would find it incredible.
He didn't return to the palace either. Yuan Qingling would probably be more excited than him.
Feeling melancholy for a while, I went to the Imperial College to find some advice.
Jingjingyan was dressed in white clothes, as fluttering as a banished immortal, with a face as gentle as jade, and listened to him tell the whole story without any emotion.
He put down the tea table and said: "Now that the princes have no children, the position of the crown prince has not yet been decided. Now that Princess Qi is pregnant, the emperor's heart is probably tilted. If he wants to make Prince Qi the crown prince, Princess Qi cannot have a son."
You should understand the stain."
Yu Wenhao said irritably: "I understand, but even if Princess Qi is not punished, Yuan Jie should not be held accountable."
"There must be someone who takes responsibility for this matter. Yuan Jie is the city gate guard, so it is most appropriate for him to take responsibility for this matter." Calmly said.
Yu Wenhao couldn't calm down, "I have no way to deal with Yuan Jie."
He himself was a military commander and knew how difficult it was for a military general to get ahead. If there was no war in the country, some military generals might end up at their current position throughout their lives.
But once the country is at war, they have to pay the price of their lives in exchange for the opportunity to be promoted. However, how many soldiers' souls have to wait until death to get a posthumous title.
That day, so many people were present. They all saw with their own eyes that Yuan Jie tried his best to save people, and they couldn't be fooled.
How big of a joke would it be once he was convicted?
"You are always resourceful and resourceful, please give me some advice." Yu Wenhao got angry when he saw Jingjingyan acting like he was ignoring the matter.
Jingjingyan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "There are no ways, but they are a bit biased. It just depends on whether you dare."
Yu Wenhao slapped the table, "Why don't you dare? Say it quickly!"
