Yuan Qing Ling stayed by the eighth prince's side.
Emperor Ming Yuan summoned Prince Rui to the palace, and the three of them talked for a long time in the imperial study.
Late at night, a decree was sent to Prince Ji's Mansion. The Empress Dowager's birthday was approaching, and Prince Ji was ordered to go to Huguo Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager for a month, fast and chant sutras.
This decree makes it impossible to guess the emperor's intention.
In previous years, there were prayers before the Queen Mother's birthday, but most of these were done by the princess or concubines, which lasted only two or three days, but now King Ji had to go in person, and it lasted for a full month.
It's really thought-provoking.
Before leaving the palace, Ling Yan went to the Qiankun Palace to see Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao calmly explained the emperor's disposition. Yu Wenhao was not surprised by the previous ones, but he was a little surprised when King Ji went to the Huguo Temple to pray.
"What do you mean, father? Has Prince Ji found out about this matter?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"We couldn't find it. It was all Eunuch Li who came forward to do it. Prince Ji didn't have any evidence of his involvement. Moreover, Eunuch Li also committed suicide." He said calmly.
Yu Wenhao said: "This is strange. If Prince Ji is not involved, isn't this action a punishment?"
"Isn't it a punishment?" Calm Yan smiled, and his usually cold face also showed a hint of sarcasm, "Huguo Temple is a royal temple, and the abbot, Master Huide, is the old King of Wu, the direct brother of the Supreme Emperor, and Duke Xiaoyao.
We are even more sworn friends. Xiaoyao Gong doesn't want to see Prince Ji. As we all know, the emperor asked him to go to Huguo Temple. Isn't that a punishment? Do you really think that he will devote himself to Buddhism? Tell him to meditate and practice? "
Yu Wenhao nodded, "You are right, but you have to be famous to be a disciple. This matter has nothing to do with him on the surface. Why is my father so angry with him?"
"There is no evidence, which does not mean that the emperor knows nothing. Eunuch Li is the person who serves the emperor. Which prince he favors, how can the emperor not know? Even if he says a few words on weekdays, the emperor can hear it.
Surprisingly, Eunuch Li is very close to Prince Ji. He has a house outside the palace, which was given to him by Princess Ji. He also bought several beautiful maids for him. This matter is very secret, but it does not mean that the emperor does not know about it.
As long as nothing happens, the emperor can endure it, but if something happens, how can he let it go?"
Yu Wenhao couldn't help but feel depressed, "If the father knew in his mind that the boss had done this, and the eighth brother almost lost his life because of this, but he was only allowed to fast for a month at Huguo Temple, what kind of treatment is this?"
Calmly said calmly: "The emperor has his own intentions, don't speculate too much, just be your Jingzhao governor. At this juncture, it is better to do less than to do more. The happier you are, the emperor
The more you pay attention to it, you know the so-called governance of a country based on stability and benefiting the people."
Yu Wenhao carefully tasted the meaning of his words. For a moment, he couldn't taste it, so he raised his head and stared at him, "Can't you speak more straightforwardly?"
Jing Lingyan was startled, "Are you uneducated? Just understand it yourself, why don't you have to be more straightforward?"
"I don't want to understand, I have a pain in the butt." Yuwen Hao was furious. These things make people anxious and anxious, so what else can they understand? Just say what you have to say.
Ling Yan frowned, with a look of disgust on his face. As the imperial minister, he thought that in order to accommodate the prince, a martial artist, he had lowered his cultural accomplishments again and again. He didn't even dare to drag Wen because he was afraid that his donkey brain wouldn't be able to understand.
Thinking of such a simple and straightforward hint, he still didn't understand.
He calmly said: "As the prefect of Jingzhao, you are in charge of the public security, prisons, and people's livelihood of the capital. You are also in charge of the gardens and houses of the capital, Koufen, Yongye, and Yintian. You are in real contact with the people. Do your best.
You have to earn a reputation for your own duties. If you gain a reputation for benefiting the people, no matter who plots against you, the emperor will have to consider it carefully. This is one of self-protection. The second one...don't say it.
Okay, this is not a meaningful thing, you can make up your own mind, I'm leaving."
Jingjingyan walked away waving his folding fan.
Yu Wenhao stared at his back, why are you swinging a folding fan in this cold weather?
