The next morning, Yu Wenhao got up early and went to the palace as usual. He waited outside the palace with the ministers, waiting for the sound of bells and drums to ring.
Today, the temperature has dropped a bit, and the sky is glowing with hazy light. The sun is lazily not even an arc, but it is smudged with a faint reddish morning glow.
In addition to the gleam of morning glow, there is still a faint mist between heaven and earth. When Yu Wenhao went out today, he did not wear a cloak, nor did he add a cotton-padded coat inside. He only wore a majestic court dress, but majesty could not withstand the cold. He forced himself
After being mighty for a while, he finally curled up and trembled next to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, "God of Wealth, please lean against me for warmth."
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Household Affairs said: "Your Highness, it's cold today, why don't you put on more clothes?"
"The Crown Princess has gone to Meizhuang and has no one to take care of her."
Yu Wenhao said pitifully.
The Minister of Household Affairs smiled and said: "The prince should have one or two more people around him. The prince is busy, how can his highness be left unattended?"
Yu Wenhao clasped his hands and said, "From what Mr. Cai said, there seem to be many beauties around me."
The minister smiled proudly and said, "You don't need many beautiful concubines. One wife and one concubine are enough."
Yu Wenhao muttered: "I can't handle this. Only women and villains are difficult to raise. One is enough."
The minister looked at Yu Wenhao's cowardly look and remembered that the princess was not fierce at all. He had a good impression of the princess. As the minister of household affairs, he was in charge of the finances of the Northern Tang Dynasty. Anyone who donated money to the treasury was a good friend.
He didn't want to be troublesome today, but he stood with the prince. After thinking about it, he said softly: "Your Highness still needs to be mentally prepared for today. I heard that several adults have signed up to join you today."
Yu Wenhao held his arm and leaned closer to him, "Master Cai, will you stand by my side today?"
The minister sneered, and after careful consideration, he didn't want to take this trouble, "I'm a low-ranking official and don't have much to do."
"I would like to introduce Fourth Master Leng to you!"
Shangshu's hands fell heavily on Yu Wenhao's wrists, and he said sternly: "Although I am not a troubled official, I am willing to help the prince!"
Yu Wenhao smiled broadly, "No need to insert the knife, come here, I will have a few words with you in private."
King An also came to court today. After training in the military camp for a period of time, he became much stronger and came up with all the gentlemen.
Walking with him was the newly appointed Minister of Justice, and two generals. They were as close to King An as door gods, and as strict as protectors of the law.
King An first came forward to meet Chu Shoufu and said a few words to Chu Shoufu. Yu Wenhao smiled and stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Fourth brother, I haven't seen you in this court for a long time. When I see you today, it feels very fresh."
After yesterday, Yu Wenhao and An Wang's faces were torn apart, but today Yu Wenhao still came up to say hello as if nothing had happened. Wang An really felt that he was shameless, so he ignored him.
However, Yu Wenhao seemed not to look at other people's faces at all. He went up and put his hand on Wang An's shoulder and said: "Fourth brother, don't take what Rong Yue said to heart. I believe that fourth brother did not buy the murder of the Crown Princess. Don't
Ignore those people’s nonsense.”
Although there were ministers whispering outside the palace gate, it was still a quiet place since no one was making loud noises.
Yu Wenhao's voice was loud. As soon as he said this, the ministers all looked over. They were whispering about this matter. Unexpectedly, the prince actually said it directly.
Taifu Wei also went to court today. Hearing these words, he looked over suddenly and his eyes almost fell out of shock. No one told him what happened in Prince An's Mansion. He just heard about it.
.
King An stared at Yu Wenhao, wishing to tear his big mouth apart. This matter had not been verified or reported, so he just said it loudly. Was he going to designate his assassin to kill the Crown Princess?
King An said coldly: "Justice is in the heart of the people. Everyone who knows me knows that this is a baseless accusation. I believe no one will say it. But the prince is making such a noise, lest the world does not know, but he has ulterior motives."
Yu Wenhao's eyes widened, "How can I use my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs for you?
What could I have done?"
After the wedding banquet, King An's patience with him had reached its limit. Moreover, knowing that many people were co-signing to play for him, he no longer had any scruples and said sternly: "Prince, don't think that I don't know that Princess Hui is at the wedding banquet."
Those things mentioned above were all instigated by you. No one wanted to kill the crown princess at all. You saw that the king was transferred back to the capital, and you deliberately made excuses to frame me. The king actually didn’t know what was hindering the prince and wanted to
You used this dirty trick against me."
Yu Wenhao became angry when he heard this and said angrily: "Yu Wen'an, you are still in high spirits, aren't you?
I just said that I believed you because I didn’t want to hurt my brother’s friendship and make my father unhappy. But you persisted in holding on to this point. Well, you said that what Princess Hui said was the king’s instruction. You can provide evidence.
, I can’t produce any evidence, and I’m not done with you today.”
"Save it, you'll find something nice to look at."
King An was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him, and Sun Shangshu was there to persuade him, so he stepped aside and waited, too lazy to talk to Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao was also dragged away by Chu Shoufu. Chu Shoufu said in a deep voice: "Prince, please stop saying a few words. The princess now has to be taught medical skills by Dr. Da Xinglin. The formula to cure leprosy will be released soon. By then, Northern Tang will no longer have to
He was a great contributor to the Northern Tang Dynasty because he was worried about leprosy. It is not surprising that there are other people with bad intentions who want to murder the Crown Princess. It may not be the instigation of King An."
As soon as Chu Shoufu said these words, many courtiers gathered around and asked questions.
I have always heard that the Crown Princess has good medicine that can cure leprosy, but no one believes it. But now that Chu Shoufu said that with the help of Dr. Lin from Daxing, it is very possible.
This matter has nothing to do with political opinions, it is about people's livelihood and welfare. Naturally, everyone is willing to seek verification and is happy to see the results.
Even the ministers who were supposed to jointly attend the meeting with Yu Wenhao today gathered around to ask, which made King An furious.
The drums for the dynasty were sounded, and the eunuch in charge of ceremonies shouted outside the palace that the dynasty was to be held. All the officials filed in.
Emperor Ming Yuan took his seat, and all the officials knelt down and worshiped him. After shouting three times, Emperor Ming Yuan granted him peace.
Before Emperor Ming Yuan could say anything, Sun Shangshu came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a copy of this performance!"
As soon as Sun Shangshu came out, several people immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, I also have a copy of the performance!"
King An strode forward and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, I also have my own merits to participate in the prince's foolish judgment and disregard of human life!"
Twelve memorials were presented to the emperor. Emperor Ming Yuan read them one by one. After reading them, he ordered someone to take the memorials down and show them to Yu Wenhao. Although he had not said any words of criticism, his face was already ashen.
Yu Wenhao took it and looked at it, a little confused, "Your Majesty, what kind of music is this playing?"
I have not judged the case wrongly, so how can I make such a fuss about human life?"
Sun Shangshu said righteously and sternly: "Your Highness, did the Jingzhao Mansion execute a prisoner a few days ago?"
Yu Wenhao nodded, "Yes, it is indeed true."
Sun Shangshu paused and said, "Your Highness, you killed the wrong person. That person was not the real murderer. The real murderer has surrendered. After interrogation by the official and Chu Shoufu, it was confirmed that he was the real murderer. In other words, the person you executed was
