The two of them talked until dawn, talking about many topics and discussing many things. She almost always talked and he listened. There was not even a word of criticism.
At five o'clock in the morning, cocks and dogs can be heard crowing in the distance. The sky has not yet turned white, but the things to be done today are already imminent.
Yuan Qingling personally put on the court clothes for him, shaved off the stubble that had just grown, tied the crown, and tied the gold and jade belt. The dragon pattern on the prince's court clothes showed his majesty and nobility.
Yu Wenhao held her hand and said easily: "Okay, there is no need to make it look so good. This is the last time I will wear this court uniform."
"Then let him be majestic again." Yuan Qingling looked at him, who was tall and tall. Such a handsome man was her husband. This made her feel very proud.
Yu Wenhao smiled and sighed, "Why is there such a tragic feeling as if a strong man breaks his wrist? It's okay. This is not the first time I have offended my father. I have offended many things in the past."
"Yeah, don't worry. If my father is really punished, the worst we can do is run away as a family of five." Yuan Qingling gave him the greatest encouragement.
Yu Wenhao stared at her. He felt sad and moved, "Old Yuan, it is my greatest happiness to marry you in this life."
"Me too!" Yuan Qing Ling smiled warmly.
Yu Wenhao hugged her and kissed her, thinking he was humorous and said: "You are not marrying me, you are marrying me."
Yuan Qingling kicked him in the leg and bent over with a smile, "Young poor man, go quickly, it's getting late."
Yu Wenhao walked away with a smile. When he reached the door, he turned back and took a deep look at Yuan Qingling. When he turned around again, his smile subsided and he looked serious and solemn.
Yuan Qingling watched him leave, the smile on her face slowly faded, and she sighed softly.
She didn't know whether it would be good or bad. She was actually very worried. If something happened, it would be almost impossible for her family to flee. If the Forbidden Army closed the city, where could they escape?
I hope my father is not really so cruel. If Lao Wu offends me this time and my father does not punish me too much, then there must be something else going on in this matter.
But, what can't be said properly? You have to use this torture method.
Today in the morning, in the main hall, after the bells and drums rang, all the officials entered the hall one by one.
Emperor Ming Yuan stood high above the temple, accepting the worship of hundreds of officials. His eyes lightly slid across Yu Wenhao's face, and he said in a deep and majestic voice: "Get down!"
The officials thanked each other and stood up. As soon as they lined up in rows, Yu Wenhao couldn't wait to get out of the queue, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked gloomy and said, "Let's play again later!"
Yu Wenhao ignored it and said loudly: "I have three memorials. Please allow your Majesty to report them. The first memorial is that I have been appointed as the crown prince. I have no talent, no virtue, no filial piety and no benevolence. I am not worthy of being the crown prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty. I ask to be deposed."
…”
As soon as Yu Wenhao said this, the court was shocked.
I have heard of people resigning, but I have never heard of people asking themselves to be deposed as crown prince. Is this prince crazy? What is the position of crown prince? Does he still have any respect in his eyes?
Fortunately Taifu Wei did not come today, otherwise, he would have been the first person to faint in the court.
"Your Highness, please don't act rashly!" Chu Shoufu also became anxious and scolded him sternly.
Yu Wenhao was stunned and ignored it, and continued: "Second report, since I took office as the governor of Jingzhao, the management of the capital has been out of control, and the cases of burning, killing and looting have increased day by day. This is because of dereliction of duty. I ask the emperor to remove me from my official position, or to punish him with a lower sentence!"
"
"Your Highness, shut up!" Chu Shoufu wanted to step forward and cover his mouth. The emperor's recent attitude was abnormal. He was investigating, but he didn't expect the prince to be so impulsive.
Emperor Ming Yuan's face had completely darkened, and his eyes were beating with anger. He pressed his hands to suppress the criticism from the whole court, and said coldly: "Where is your third piece?"
Yu Wenhao raised his head, looked directly at Emperor Ming Yuan, gritted his teeth and said: "The third thing is not to memorialize, but to ask questions, dare to ask the emperor. Since the founding of the Northern Tang Dynasty, the ancestors have always advocated benevolence and filial piety to govern the country, and Emperor Xian is even more filial and exemplary. Now the Supreme Emperor is
Why is the Crown Princess not allowed to go for treatment when she is seriously ill? The Emperor is suspected of delaying the Emperor's condition. Please give an explanation in front of all the civil and military officials."
As soon as these words came out, some of the former ministers present became excited and knelt down one after another, "Your Majesty, is what the Crown Prince said true? Is the Crown Prince seriously ill?"
Public opinion surged towards Emperor Ming Yuan like a tide. His face switched between rage and gloom. Although he said nothing, he had a murderous aura.
Yu Wenhao said the words in one breath. Although he faced anger and criticism from his ministers, he felt much more at ease.
Seeing that it was irreversible, Chu Shoufu had no choice but to kneel down as well, "I sincerely ask the Emperor to allow the Crown Princess to treat the Emperor."
When the chief minister said this, many ministers knelt down to agree and asked for the memorial.
The voices of the courtiers drowned out Emperor Ming Yuan. He was sitting in the high hall. Although he tried his best to maintain his majesty, he seemed so weak.
Then, in full view of everyone, Emperor Ming Yuan stood up and left. Eunuch Mu Ru seemed hasty and panicked when he said "retreat from the court." After saying this, he hurriedly chased after him.
After Emperor Ming Yuan left, a large number of old ministers pestered Yu Wenhao to ask about the situation of the Supreme Emperor. Yu Wenhao did not elaborate and left the hall under the crowd.
He did not leave the palace, but went to the imperial study room to wait. The words had been spoken today, and no matter what, there would be a result.
After waiting for a long time, the imperial study room met with many ministers, but he was not seen.
Later, Eunuch Mu Ru couldn't bear it anymore and came over to persuade him to go back. Yu Wenhao was stuck at the door like a piece of wood and refused to leave.
I just stood like this for most of the day, without drinking a sip of tea or eating a morsel of rice, which made my face crack.
The decree finally came out of the imperial study. Eunuch Mu Ru personally announced the decree, asking the prince to go to another courtyard to attend to her illness. However, the prince had lost his moral character in front of the palace and was banned from the palace. He was not allowed to come out. He removed the post of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin and Jingzhao Prefecture.
The affairs of Qi were temporarily taken over by the King of Qi until the new governor arrived.
After hearing the decree, Yu Wenhao slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Yu Wenhao accepts the decree!"
Regardless, the goal was achieved.
After receiving the decree, he hesitated and asked, "Is Father very angry?"
Eunuch Mu Ru sighed, "I'm sure you're angry. His Highness has returned. Don't ask any more questions. I have to go back to serve the Emperor. The Emperor said that his chest hurts and he just sent someone to call the imperial doctor."
Yu Wenhao felt sad and knelt down facing the door of the imperial study room, and said more loudly: "My son is unfilial and makes my father sad."
A low angry voice came from inside, "Get out!"
Yu Wenhao felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart and kowtowed, "Son, please retire. Father, please take care of yourself!"
He stood up and said to Eunuch Mu Ru: "Please give me a good life and serve your father."
"Your Highness, don't worry. The emperor is angry for a moment. There is no overnight feud between father and son." Although Eunuch Mu Ru said this, the matter today is too big. Even if things calm down in the future, there will always be dissatisfaction.
