Chapter 241: Tell you to kneel down and admit your mistake
Wu Yuan had already thought of such a result.
Emperor Wu's suspicious character made it difficult not to believe what those people said.
But Wu Yuan did not panic. Instead, he chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, this is just what I want. If nothing else happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out anywhere during this period."
"I have troubled you all. You are going to be imprisoned in the East Palace with me. To be on the safe side, let Haitang go out and help Mo Qiaoer. Qiaoer's character is not calm enough. Haitang can see that nothing will go wrong."
Xin Ruyan did not expect that Wu Yuan had already planned it.
"What about Yan Fei?" Xin Ruyan asked.
Yan Fei on the side was a little hesitant. She also wanted to follow Murong Haitang to Mo Qiaoer's place, but she wanted to stay with Wu Yuan even more.
Because she felt that Wu Yuan would definitely do something in the East Palace.
I don't know when she started, but she seemed to have become accustomed to the role of first secretary.
You don’t want to miss anything about Wu Yuan. Only by following Wu Yuan can you better utilize your talents.
Wu Yuan looked at Yan Fei amusedly and said deliberately: "Let Yan Fei decide for herself. I'm leaving. I'm afraid Eunuch Su will be impatient."
Xin Ruyan nodded and said affectionately: "Waiting for you to come back."
Wu Yuan nodded with a smile, turned around and left with Eunuch Su outside.
Xin Ruyan started arranging for Murong Haitang to leave the palace, while Yan Fei followed with a tangled look on her face.
In the court, everyone was waiting for Wu Yuan's arrival.
Prime Minister Wen looked proud. This time he finally had the chance to overthrow Wu Yuan. Now the second prince Wu Zheng led the army and made great achievements. He quickly controlled the fifth prince with thunderous means in the three border cities and stood firm.
heel.
This time, once Wu Zheng successfully recaptures the three border cities, he will have military merit.
On the other hand, they are suppressing Wu Yuan here, and when Wu Zheng comes back, they will definitely be able to replace the prince.
After years of planning, Prime Minister Wen finally saw the dawn of victory, and Prime Minister Wen was a little excited.
It's just that he also has doubts in his heart. He doesn't understand why the Ministry of Punishment suddenly exerted such force this time?
In the past, the Ministry of Punishment did not side with him. It had a neutral stance and was only loyal to Emperor Wu, at least on the surface.
But this was not important. Even Prime Minister Wen thought again. This time, it was most likely that Emperor Wu saw that Wu Yuan was growing too fast and had a hint to the Ministry of Punishment.
Finally, Eunuch Su took the lead and came back, "Your Majesty, the prince is waiting outside."
Emperor Wu raised his eyes and said with a serious expression: "Xuan!"
Eunuch Su shouted: "Prince Wu Yuan comes to remonstrate."
Wu Yuan walked in swaggeringly, "Hey, everyone is here. Prime Minister Wen, you have gained weight again. It seems that you have been eating well recently."
Prime Minister Wen's lips twitched, and he cursed in his heart, and replied: "It's not as good as the prince's life. Nowadays, every family in the world is making money every day."
The rise of the Tianxia family at lightning speed has already shocked many jaws.
Such a feat is both miraculous and enviable. Although it is still too early to compare the Tianxia Family to the current Qianlu Chamber of Commerce, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that as long as the Tianxia Family is given enough time, they will definitely be able to compete with the Tianxia Family in the future.
Qianlu Chamber of Commerce competes against each other.
And everyone knows that the nominal boss of Tianxia Family is Mo Qiaoer, but it is the prince in front of him who actually makes the plans.
In this case, the meaning is completely different. This prince who was once unpopular has suddenly risen and caught people off guard.
It makes many people dissatisfied.
There are too many people who want to see Wu Yuan fall.
At this time, You Dequan, the Minister of Justice, who had had a conflict with Wu Yuan, shouted loudly: "How can His Royal Highness still laugh? The bones of those who died innocently and tragically are still cold, and their families are still crying with tears every day."
Wash your face, the prince will definitely give an explanation to these people today."
Of course Wu Yuan remembered this You Dequan.
At that time, when he was assassinated for the first time, it was You Dequan who came forward to defend those assassins.
This will not give this person a good look.
"Who are you, worthy of questioning this prince? Or are you saying that your punishment department is above the imperial power?"
One sentence directly scared You Dequan to death.
I saw You Dequan pointing at Wu Yuan in panic and saying: "Don't talk nonsense. We in the Ministry of Justice are most loyal to His Majesty and to the royal family."
Emperor Wu squinted at You Dequan, seeming to be dissatisfied with You Dequan's words.
At this time, You Dequan's father, You Ye, the Minister of Punishment, quickly stepped forward and kicked You Dequan in the leg.
"How impudent! You still don't kneel down to the Crown Prince and kowtow to Your Majesty to admit your mistake."
This kick was not light. You Dequan knelt on the ground in pain, but he did not dare to make a mistake.
His father would not harm him. Although You Dequan felt resentful, he still obeyed his orders obediently.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, forgive me. Your Majesty, the Emperor, forgive me. It was me who overstepped my bounds."
You Ye also bowed and said to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, I have failed to teach my son well. Please punish me."
Emperor Wu's face looked better now.
"It doesn't matter. You Shilang is just petitioning for the people. Please step back." Emperor Wu said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, You Ye was also relieved.
At the same time, I was secretly shocked that Wu Yuan was not simple. He actually forced his son to kneel down in a few words to end the problem. It was obvious that Wu Yuan was the one who could not protect himself.
Other ministers also felt the same way, "Sure enough, today's prince is not someone to be trifled with."
Even Prime Minister Wen didn't say anything because he was interested, and he secretly prepared to add insult to injury later.
"Wu Yuan, do you know that there have been many murder cases in the capital in recent days?" Emperor Wu looked at Wu Yuan and asked.
Wu Yuan nodded, "I just knew something about it just now."
Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then what do you want to say?"
Wu Yuan shook his head, "No, if so, I also hope that the real culprit will be caught as soon as possible and those innocent victims will be given an explanation."
Emperor Wu frowned, a little dissatisfied with Wu Yuan's attitude of not having anything to do with himself.
Although a few days ago, he also received a memorial from Wu Yuan, and he also said that someone might target him in the near future.
But now, the evidence of this murder case is not conclusive, and rumors have spread among the people, all of which are telling the story of the tyrannical behavior of the world.
There are even some rumors saying that the current prince already controls nearly half of Dawu's wealth.
These words made Emperor Wu suspicious again.
They even suspected that Wu Yuan's previous memorials were an attempt to deceive others.
Originally, he wanted to hear Wu Yuan give a good explanation, but Wu Yuan's indifferent attitude made Emperor Wu feel that Wu Yuan no longer had him as the emperor in his heart.
Prime Minister Wen, a talented person, instantly noticed Emperor Wu's displeasure, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the Tianxia Family has merits, it is expanding too fast, and there is no guarantee that some ruthless people who are eager for quick success will join in."
"I believe that we should control everyone in the world as soon as possible and investigate thoroughly."
