"No," Yu Wenhao thought for a moment and then denied, "My father has always been filial and respectful to my grandfather. He cares about his grandfather more than anyone else. How could he do such a treasonous thing because of such a trivial matter? His grandfather did so.
It’s not the first time he’s involved in politics, and it’s such a big deal to appoint a crown prince. Didn’t he listen to the emperor’s grandfather’s words? Besides, even if the father is unwilling to drive away the fourth son, the emperor will not force it, so why is this? "
Ling Yan looked at him, "Sit down first and listen to me slowly. After listening, you will know why the emperor did this."
Yuan Qingling wiped away her tears carelessly and pulled Yu Wenhao to sit down. Yu Wenhao still had an expression of disbelief, but the panic in his eyes betrayed his heart.
"Okay, tell me, I'll listen to what you have to say and then I will refute you." Yu Wenhao's voice was also trembling.
He calmly said: "It is undeniable that the emperor is indeed a filial son. Before he ascended the throne, he served as the prince for so many years. He has always been loyal and filial to the emperor. It has been more than eight years since the emperor abdicated. There have been many major events in the court.
, he would also occasionally go to inquire about the Emperor's wishes. The Emperor would usually stop at nothing and rarely intervene. Many times, he would not even give too many opinions..."
"Isn't that it? Since you said it so harmoniously, how could it be your father's idea?" Yu Wenhao was in a state of confusion. Hearing what Ling Yan said, he immediately interrupted him and refuted.
Ling Yan looked at him with deep eyes, "Yes, the emperor has always done this, and it has become a habit. However, when he has been in power for a long time, he has experienced many things, and he has made his own decisions on many major matters.
, at this time, he was reluctant to ask the Supreme Emperor, but as he said just now, this is a habit, so even if he was reluctant, he still went to ask. At this time, the Supreme Emperor was still as usual, not expressing too many opinions, just
If you praise him for doing a good job, then the emperor will not feel any displeasure in his heart. Unexpectedly, the emperor and the emperor actually had differences on the matter of appointing the prince. However, the emperor did not say it out loud, but the emperor did many things to hint to him.
The emperor heard that he had decided on the candidate for the crown prince, which made the emperor feel unhappy. Do you still remember that before you were canonized as the prince, the emperor made things difficult for you many times? In fact, it was for this reason, but later, King Ji failed to live up to expectations, and you were really honest.
Some practical things have been done on the ground. The most important thing is that you have given birth to three sons in a row. This makes the emperor very happy. He looks at you differently and naturally agrees to appoint you as the crown prince. The emperor is not a grudge person, and the relationship with the emperor has not become tense.
We still get along with each other as usual, but in fact, the emperor is already feeling unhappy because his choice finally coincides with the choice of the Supreme Emperor. It seems that the Supreme Emperor is particularly foresighted. This is contrary to his original insistence on establishing King Ji as the crown prince.
Yes, his vision was wrong, so the final affirmation turned into a complete denial of what he had done in the past. He vaguely realized that he was far less wise than the Supreme Emperor, which made him feel a sense of fear and threat in his heart, because the Supreme Emperor suddenly
While still here, the hearts of the ministers are all towards the Supreme Emperor, and the current Crown Prince was personally selected by the Supreme Emperor. One day, the Supreme Emperor will depose him. It will be a piece of cake. Don’t refute me. I have been with the Emperor for a long time.
, I could figure out what he was thinking, and he even jokingly asked me if such a possibility was possible."
"Grandpa Huang would never do this." Yu Wenhao murmured.
Calm Yan looked at him, "Whether the Supreme Emperor will do this is another matter, but let me ask you, if the Supreme Emperor really wants to depose the Emperor, can he still do it?"
Yu Wenhao's face became increasingly pale. The Supreme Emperor indeed still had this ability. Eight years after his father ascended the throne, most of the people in the court were still ministers of the Supreme Emperor's dynasty, and most of these ministers held high positions. Take Xiaoyao Gong and Chu Shoufu as examples. These two people
, is loyal to the Supreme Emperor.
"Do you still remember Chu Shoufu's memorial to restore Yu Wenjun's status as a prince?" Calmly asked him.
Yu Wenhao smiled bitterly, "You said that my father loves the boss so much, and the chief assistant does this, isn't it in line with his wishes? Doesn't this matter also have something to do with it?"
"It's so relevant. Whether the emperor wants to restore the status of Prince Yu Wenjun, it's best for him to decide by himself and then instruct who to open this mouth and do this matter, instead of Chu Shoufu trying to figure it out on his own. The most important thing is that Chu Shoufu should do this.
It only took half a day to find out the matter afterwards. In other words, Chu Shoufu just ordered people to explain, and then they responded without even needing to persuade. What kind of prestige is this? Isn't this threat not big enough? This is not considered
, After all, Chu Shoufu is a minister, he can still support Chu Shoufu, but the Emperor is here. Once the Emperor makes a will, what can he do? Looking at the overall situation from the emperor's perspective, the Emperor can control all the people he can control.
, and the people that the Supreme Emperor can control, he cannot control. This is equivalent to the fact that the power is still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. The prince was selected by the Supreme Emperor. This is a very powerful force. But at this time, you ordered people to spread the news to King Anan.
By hurting Lu Yuan, he made him mistakenly think that you were trying to force King An away. As soon as the news was released, an old minister immediately reported that you wanted to drive Prince An away from the capital. Even the Supreme Emperor agreed, so he had to mistakenly think that you
It's a private alliance, just to force away King An, a potential rival for the throne. To put it bluntly, he is preventing you from forcing the palace. He has been the prince for so many years and understands the prince's heart very well, so he said cruelly
If the Crown Princess enters the palace for treatment, the Crown Prince will be harmed. This is said so clearly, which is unprecedented. Just watch, he will definitely find a reason to use Prince An to check and balance you. He will not
He wants to depose you as the crown prince, because he also sincerely agrees that you are the best candidate for the crown prince, but he must choose someone to quickly promote and make him stronger so that he can check and balance you, at least in the next ten years.
, he will be on guard against you, and he will deliberately give hope to King An, making King An feel that he still has a chance."
After hearing this, Yu Wenhao looked blank and remained silent for a long time.
Yuan Qingling also felt desolate in her heart. The so-called father's kindness and son's filial piety, and the harmony between the heaven and the family, turned out to be nothing more than mutual achievement. Once interests or lust for power were involved, the illusion of harmony would be quickly torn apart.
The last light in Yu Wenhao's eyes disappeared, and he looked at Jing Yan, "Why do you know so clearly?"
"The emperor is not hiding it from me. What he does needs someone to agree with it. Even if it is just superficial, he needs to hear the voice of approval."
"And you didn't persuade him." Yu Wenhao's voice was cold.
Jing Jingyan laughed, and he smiled miserably, "Persuasion? I can't persuade you. Once the Emperor really dies, I don't even know where to look. When the Emperor decides to say these words to me,
