Yu Wenhao did not report it to Emperor Ming Yuan, but directly issued a notice from Jingzhao Mansion and ordered people to post it widely.
This notice stated that the Crown Princess had developed a new medicine that could treat leprosy, curb the spread of leprosy, and eliminate the poisonous effects of leprosy in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
In other words, it was a firm announcement to let the people know that yes, the Crown Princess had indeed gone to Leper Mountain.
Originally, some people went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to cause trouble because Di Weiming asked people to instigate him. However, today he actually posted a notice to inform the world. This is not a guess, it is a confirmed fact. The people were shocked. Di Weiming
Ming people further instigated the disease and said that the princess going up the mountain every day would bring the disease back to the capital, and then a bad disease would break out in the capital.
The people became even more violent. In addition to going to the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion to denounce, they also went to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
But Yu Wenhao treated it coldly and let them make trouble first as long as no violence occurred.
He also gradually sent people to infiltrate some words among the people, exaggerating that the Crown Princess had cured tuberculosis and had cured the Emperor. This meant that the Crown Princess's medical skills were very superb. If the Crown Princess really developed a new drug to treat leprosy
, then there will be nothing to fear if people get sick again in the future.
Gradually, the voices of the people have become two groups. Some are optimistic that it would be a good thing if leprosy can be cured, which will benefit the people and the common people of the country.
Some people who are pessimistic and angry are afraid that the Crown Princess will bring down the disease and plunge Beijing into the nightmare of five years ago again, so they insist on opposing it.
Yu Wenhao had already ordered the dispatch of additional manpower to maintain order. Make trouble and fight, and don't hurt anyone's life.
Compared with the temporarily controllable situation among the people, the civil and military officials in the court are more troublesome.
A small number of supporters and a large number of opponents debated this matter for two consecutive mornings. Yu Wenhao was outnumbered and lost the majority of support. They believed that as a prince, he acted rashly without careful consideration and put the royal family in danger.
In danger, Yuan Qingling is the Crown Princess. If Yuan Qingling gets sick, wouldn't she be someone who comes back to infect the royal family?
This is the foundation of shaking the country.
The court turned into a bustling city, and Emperor Ming Yuan still followed his old style. When someone was quarreling, he basically just stood by and watched, only listening and not speaking.
More and more people are forcing Yu Wenhao to explain, asking him not to allow Yuan Qingling to go to Leprous Mountain again. Moreover, even if she comes down from the mountain, she must be isolated first and not allowed to enter the palace again.
The quarrel was almost noon, and everyone was ravenous. Hungry people would get angry and anxious. Yu Wenhao blurted out, "I have no control over her. She has already made peace with me."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court was shocked again.
Seeing that the words had been spoken, Yu Wenhao simply rolled his sleeves and said, "If you have the ability, go and talk to her in person. However, I would like to warn you first. It has been nearly a month since she went up the mountain. I don't know if she will get sick. If
If you are not afraid, just go find her."
After saying that, he walked away as if he didn't take Emperor Ming Yuan seriously at all.
Emperor Ming Yuan was so angry that he lost his temper in the palace and walked away, not even participating in the subsequent discussions.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was caught in a chaos, and no one stood up to take charge of the overall situation. When Emperor Ming Yuan was angry, he ignored him. The ministers went to cry outside the imperial study, but he did not receive them. He lost his temper and pretended that it had never happened.
This son.
These words made the ministers tremble with fear. Although the prince was irrational in this matter, it did not damage his other talents and virtues. Did the emperor mean to depose the prince by denying his son?
As a result, the ministers changed from crying to persuading, and they were moved with emotion and reason. However, Emperor Ming Yuan was still angry and even issued an order to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, asking Yu Wenhao to send all the triplets to the palace to the Queen Mother.
Raise.
Moreover, Emperor Ming Yuan was so angry that he did not go to the meeting room or meet with ministers for two days in a row. All state affairs were handed over to Chu Shoufu and Prince Rui, and he packed up and went to the Royal Courtyard with Concubine Hu.
Historically, no matter how troublesome the ministers were, there was always a wise emperor to deal with it, because the king of a country must be rational and calm.
But now the roles were reversed, and the emperor lost his temper. He couldn't handle it any more. The ministers went to the Royal Courtyard one after another to ask for an audience. However, Gu Si, who was in charge of the guard, looked helpless and said, "My lords, just go back. The emperor is very angry. Everyone is worried."
I don’t want to see you.”
The old minister, Mr. Wei, was over seventy years old. He was the emperor's master and the imperial tutor. He came with a cane. He stepped forward tremblingly and said to Mr. Gu: "Sir Gu, please tell the emperor. The old minister cried, now the Northern Tang Dynasty has decided
, you must not depose the prince."
Gu Si sighed, "Mr. Wei, it's getting cold now. You're old, so just go back. The Emperor will naturally figure it out when his anger subsides."
"Let me go in and see the Emperor. I have a lot to say to the Emperor."
"Yes, Mr. Gu, just let Taifu go in. We will wait outside. We won't go in and let him talk to the emperor."
Other ministers stepped forward one after another to convince Gu Si.
Gu Si had no choice but to dare to offend him. He was the emperor's master after all, and the emperor did not dare to treat him lightly.
But the emperor also gave an order not to see anyone.
In desperation, he said: "Wait a moment, let me go in and report."
"I've got to take care of you, sir."
Taifu Wei said.
Watching Gu Si go in, Mr. Wei was helped to the side to rest. He panted, stretched out his hand tremblingly, put a pill into his mouth, swallowed it with saliva, closed his eyes, and sighed softly, "Wan
You can’t depose the prince. If you depose the prince, there will definitely be chaos.”
The second day after Emperor Ming Yuan came to the other courtyard, he had a very happy life.
He doesn't have to get up at midnight and can sleep until the sun basks on his butt. Is this happiness that he hasn't had in many years?
Moreover, during the whole day, he had nothing to do but walked around the yard with Concubine Hu. He sat in the pavilion and listened to her tell interesting stories about the border town. Concubine Hu spoke in a funny tone and was also used to making faces, which made him very happy.
Seeing Gu Si hurrying over, he immediately turned down his face and said, "I can't even think about having a quiet day."
Concubine Hu burst out laughing, stroking her big belly and said, "Your Majesty, your leisure time is stolen. Do you think you can really leave political affairs alone?"
"Disappointment!"
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his eyelids and watched Gu Si hurry over.
Gu Si knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Taifu Wei is outside asking for an audience."
When Emperor Ming Yuan heard this, his head suddenly turned big, "Why is the old man here?
He is already so old, so why bother?
Really!"
Gu Si said: "I tried to persuade him, but he said he must see you."
Emperor Ming Yuan did not dare to neglect him, but if he was asked to come in, he would probably talk about it for a long time. Now that the Taifu is getting older, he has become more and more verbose. The last time he talked about the welfare kindergarten in the palace, he only said three words.
Time has no intention of stopping yet.
Now I am here because of the prince's affairs. For him, it is a matter of earth-shattering and he is afraid that he will be troubled for three days and three nights.
Emperor Ming Yuan was really one of two people. He raised his hand feebly and said: "Forget it, please invite him in."
