After hearing this, Grandma Yuan showed a wise smile, "Well, we can't give up easily, but there is no need for us to have a head-on confrontation. Tomorrow I will take you out to visit Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin will be meeting guests at Plum Blossom Manor.
We are invited to stay for a month and a half."
Yuan Qingling suddenly understood and said happily: "Grandma, you are still smart."
Grandma Yuan chuckled softly. "It's not that grandma is smart. It's that grandma has experienced a lot of things. She has rich experience in dealing with these things. There are many things in the world that cannot be done both ways, but... we can try our best to do it."
Shouxing Mansion.
After the initial communication, the three of them fell into silence.
Calm Yan spoke first, saying: "The Emperor is aware of King An's ambitions. If he gets angry and calls King An back to Beijing to take up the post of Jingzhao Palace Governor, it will cause great disaster."
He looked at Chu Shoufu and asked: "Shoufu, do you think the emperor will really do this?"
Chu Shoufu nodded, "Yes!"
Yu Wenhao said solemnly: "I also think that my father will do this. He may not really want the fourth child to take power. He thinks that he can control the fourth child. That's why he uses this method to force or punish me."
Chu Shoufu said: "The prince is only half right. The emperor does think that he can still control King An, but it is not to punish you, but because he thinks that you are stubborn and stubborn, which may not be a blessing to the Northern Tang Dynasty."
Calm Yan was startled for a moment, "Chief Assistant, do you mean that the Emperor has really thought about deposing the Crown Prince?"
The first assistant said meaningfully: "At least, he thinks it is right to have someone who can check and balance the prince."
Calmly Yan said quietly: "Yes, many people now think that the position of the prince was obtained effortlessly. The prince may not be a talented person. The emperor's original intention is good, but King An is not a little wolf dog, he is a jackal.
"
Yu Wenhao said in a deep voice: "So, regardless of whether the crown princess compromises in the end, my father will let the fourth child return to the capital?"
"That's right, but it's not certain whether he should be appointed as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture," said the first assistant.
Yu Wenhao suddenly felt angry, "I finally kicked him away and gained half a year of peace. Now he's back to stir up trouble. I'm afraid there will be no peace in Northern Tang Dynasty."
Calmly Yan said optimistically: "As long as the emperor doesn't give up on him, he will always come back. This storm will eventually come, it's just a matter of sooner or later. Fortunately, in the past six months, you have accumulated a lot of connections, and they have also been cut off."
He has become King An's right-hand man. If we really want to fight, we may not know who will win."
General Luo of the Ghost Guard, the domineering Marquis of Zhenbei, Princess Ji, and Fourth Master Leng, on the surface, the situation is still very good.
It is a pity that the recent incident at Leprous Mountain has caused a loss of public sentiment. Many officials also believe that the prince is too reckless and impulsive, regardless of the consequences, and is not a prudent and thoughtful person.
Chu Shoufu said: "This time the incident in Leprous Mountain caused such a big fuss, it was because King An came back and gave it to the prince as a meeting gift. They will come one after another, waiting to be picked up. The prince is an upright person and is not as good at conspiracy and conspiracy as King An.
Moreover, his arrangements over the years have all been carried out in secret, and it is still very difficult to follow his tricks. Nowadays, there is no need to think about the several murder cases in a too complicated direction. Most of them were done by King An to prove the prince.
Ability to do things.”
Yu Wenhao said: "I have actually thought about this possibility, because there are almost no traces of the recent murder cases. However, it is suspected that the deceased couple had an affair, and now it is suspected that the husband of the deceased woman was responsible."
He calmly said: "Those cases with no clues should be put down and not handled. Handle the cases with clues first, and solve each case one at a time. Although the emperor said that you should be removed from office, the imperial edict has not been issued and there is no movement from the officials, so we will continue.
Just do it, even if one of them is broken, that’s fine.”
Yu Wenhao thought the same way. The three of them talked for a while and then went back to their homes.
Back at the house, Yuan Qingling told him about her grandma's proposal. Yu Wenhao agreed, but in this case, he would have to ask Doctor Lin to help him.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "That's okay. Ask Rong Yue to help with the matter."
Yu Wenhao pulled her to him and hugged her. He looked at her tired face and felt very distressed. "It's just that you have to stay in the mountains for a month. You won't be able to sleep well or eat well up there. It will be very hard for you."
Yuan Qing Ling smiled softly, "What's the point of suffering? I can just practice Qinggong diligently on the mountain. Maybe when I come down from the mountain, I will become a martial arts master."
Yu Wenhao also laughed, but the smile was awkward. He hugged her into his arms and said, "Okay, I'll wait."
The next day, Prince Su entered the palace to say goodbye and return to the country during the early morning court, and all the officials naturally showed reluctance to leave.
Emperor Ming Yuan also felt sorry for him and asked him to stay longer.
Prince Su excused himself on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs, and then made a small request.
Prince Su said that he wanted to make a small request, which naturally aroused the vigilance and attention of Emperor Ming Yuan and all the officials in the court. Emperor Ming Yuan said with an unchanging expression: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Prince Su bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, this time my younger brother came to attend the wedding of Prince Huai and Rong Yue, and was accompanied by an elder. Now the elder lives in Meizhuang with Prince Anfeng, and maybe he will live together.
Two months ago, when my brother went to say goodbye yesterday, the elder asked if he could invite the Crown Princess to Meizhuang to keep him company."
Although Prince Su's proposal is somewhat illogical, Prince Su's elders may not be members of the royal family, or they may be elders of his mother's family. Regardless of their status, it is too much to ask the crown prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty to accompany him to Meizhuang.
Promote yourself.
However, none of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty objected, because if the Crown Princess went to Meizhuang, she would not be able to go to Leprous Mountain again, which could calm the matter.
Emperor Ming Yuan also agreed, but he had some questions, "Is Prince Anfeng and Princess Anfeng in Meizhuang?"
Prince Su knew about this, but he didn't, and he felt a little unhappy.
Prince Su said: "Yes, Prince and Consort Anfeng has just come back not long ago, mainly to get together with my brother's elders."
Emperor Ming Yuan asked: "I wonder who this elder of the prince is?"
Prince Su smiled: "She is my Queen Mother Sheng'an of Daxing, but everyone in the world calls her Doctor Lin."
Doctor Lin's arrival in the capital of Northern Tang Dynasty was not publicized to the outside world, so many people did not know about it.
So all the civil and military officials in the court were very shocked when they heard that Dr. Lin was here. Even Emperor Ming Yuan was so surprised that he almost stood up and said hurriedly: "The Queen Mother is here? Why didn't the prince say anything? So that I can go and see him."
one time."
Prince Su said: "Returning to the Emperor, this time the Empress Dowager came to Northern Tang Dynasty, firstly for Rong Yue's marriage, and secondly to meet friends. She did not dare to disturb the Emperor, but after coming to Northern Tang Dynasty, she heard Rong Yue talk about her relationship with the prince.
The concubine is very friendly, and the princess knows medical skills, so I want to invite the princess to Meizhuang as a guest and study pharmacology."
At this time, no one thought that Prince Su did not understand etiquette anymore. Not to mention asking the Crown Princess to accompany him, even asking the Queen Mother to accompany him was an honor for the Queen Mother.
It was not because of the status of Queen Mother Saint An, but because of her superb medical skills. I heard that she could even save the dead.
Emperor Ming Yuan also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, I will issue an order when I get back to let the Crown Princess entertain the Empress Dowager Sheng'an in place of Beitang."
