Chapter 819 Let the Crown Prince Dispose of Prince Bao
Madam Yao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a row of gray shadows under her eyes, her voice was silent, "He has been cornered. If it had been in the past, he would have had the desire to kill. He later found out about Concubine Liu,
Her body was dug up, whipped, and dismembered to vent her hatred."
Yuan Qingling looked at her, "Do you still feel sorry for him? I thought you had no feelings for him long ago."
A pale smile appeared on Madam Yao's lips, "Is it because she has no feelings and no pity for him? She just feels how ironic the world is?"
Yuan Qingling patted the back of her hand and said, "No need to lament, everyone has their own destiny. Now that he has stood up and admitted that the child is his, Chu Shoufu will also give him some compensation in return. It can be regarded as everyone getting what he needs."
"Yes, it's just that Chu Mingyang has to be tied to him again." She really laughed from the bottom of her heart at this moment, "It's so pitiful for this couple, they go round and round, but in the end they can't live without each other.
, maybe they are really destined."
Yu Wenjun appeared at the chief minister's residence in the evening and said that he had learned that Chu Mingyang was pregnant and was coming to pick Chu Mingyang back to have the baby.
Chu Shoufu would definitely not let Chu Mingyang leave with him at this time, but he could not let the two of them live in the mansion. Therefore, he arranged another courtyard for the two of them to stay temporarily, and arranged for the close relatives of the mansion to keep an eye on them. No one was allowed near the courtyard.
Outsiders approach.
Before the two of them moved over, he called Yu Wenjun into the study.
Chu Shoufu is a man, and he understands the hatred of betrayal. Yu Wenjun is afraid that he has the intention to kill Chu Mingyang at this time.
The chief minister said nothing else and only showed him a memorial.
After reading it, Yu Wenjun was so shocked that he knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
The first assistant sat on the Taishi chair and looked at him, his eyes unsettled, "Get up, I have one condition, don't hurt her in the slightest. Whether the child is born successfully or stillborn, I can't let her suffer too much."
, measure it yourself.”
Yu Wenjun kowtowed and said: "My grandfather's kindness will never be forgotten by Yu Wenjun. I will definitely change my mind and start a new life to live up to your expectations."
Chu Shoufu looked solemn and sent him away without saying a word.
The next day, he wrote a memorial, enumerating Yu Wenjun's great contributions to the court, family and country. Although he was unfilial, his contributions were indispensable. In addition, his previous sins had harmed his wife and daughter, so he was really innocent, so he asked for a decree to grant him grace.
.
The Imperial Tutor's memorial was seconded by many ministers. The influence of the First Assistant was astonishing. Although everyone was disappointed with what Yu Wenjun had done, the First Assistant wanted to support him, and everyone responded naturally.
Emperor Ming Yuan didn't say anything. After careful consideration, he issued a decree. Yu Wenjun resumed his royal status as the eldest prince, with no title, no title, no title, and even no annual silver.
The two sisters, Meng Xing and Meng Yue, were granted the title of county lords, while Lady Yao was granted the title of Shuren, using her Yao character as the imperial title and the title of Mrs. Yao. She and the two county lords had a living estate and a house.
Everyone knows that Emperor Ming Yuan did not forgive Yu Wenjun, but for the sake of his two granddaughters, who were of royal blood after all, and could not bear to let the royal blood fall by the wayside.
When the decree was issued, Yu Wenjun knelt down to receive it and cried bitterly. When Lord Xuan reported the decree back to Emperor Ming Yuan, Emperor Ming Yuan only said coldly, "I'm afraid those tears are not quite real."
Emperor Ming Yuan went to Concubine Hu's palace that night. Concubine Hu saw that his hair was dyed white on his temples and suddenly felt that he had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
"The child is asleep, does the emperor want to see him?" Concubine Hu knew that he liked to see the chubby smiling face of the tenth prince, and wanted to bring the child over to make him happy.
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 didn'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 cut off. If we throw out a trash and cut off the relationship after giving birth, 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 she wants to 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."
