Xin Guosheng's words undoubtedly showed his attitude.
I would rather lose Xin Ruyan's credit than protect Wuyuan.
Especially now no one dares to call Wu Yuan the prince anymore. Now Wu Yuan can be his highness, the eldest prince, or even a prisoner.
But he is no longer the crown prince.
Emperor Wu stared at Xin Guosheng with sinister eyes.
Then he actually said: "General Xin left his post without permission and returned without announcing it. He is hereby ordered to return to Boulder City immediately."
"This is a good case. When I find out the truth, I will give an explanation to General Xin."
As soon as Emperor Wu said this, all the ministers looked at each other in shock.
After all, you are a minister, and Emperor Wu has ten thousand reasons to shut you up.
Logically speaking, it is true that General Xin returned without announcing it, and it also violated Emperor Wu's will. It is reasonable and reasonable to order General Xin to return immediately now.
Especially at such a critical moment, the Boulder City side can be said to be leaderless. If Tianliguo fights back again and is defeated due to General Xin's absence from duty without authorization, it will be a huge sin.
However, although everyone understands the truth, the reason is simply that Emperor Wu did not want General Xin to interfere with Wu Yuan's affairs.
Xin Guosheng also looked at Emperor Wu with a stern expression, "Your Majesty, this involves the foundation of Dawu. I am qualified to wait here for the results of your punishment on the prince before leaving."
"You are so presumptuous! How do I punish Wu Yuan? There is no need for you to be here. Could it be that you still want to make the decision for me? If so, then the general had better bring back all the Dragon and Tiger troops."
Xin Guosheng's expression also changed slightly, "I don't dare, and I have no intention of interfering with Your Majesty. I just want to wait here for a result."
Seeing how insistent Xin Guosheng was, Emperor Wu was trembling with anger.
"Okay, very good. In that case, Prime Minister Wen, tell General Xin how I dealt with Wu Yuan."
Prime Minister Wen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Why did Emperor Wu and Wu Yuan think of him first among the people he offended?
But he didn't dare to disobey, and he immediately told Xin Guosheng what Emperor Wu had just said.
"His Majesty decrees that the eldest prince Wu Yuan will be demoted to a commoner and everything he owns will be confiscated, including the family's property and the weapons. In short, from now on, the eldest prince Wu Yuan will not be able to take anything with him. From now on,
You can no longer claim to be a royal family."
Although it was the second time they heard it, the ministers still felt sad for Wu Yuan's decline.
When Xin Guosheng and Xin Ruyan arrived just now, they only saw the guards going to capture Wu Yuan, but they did not expect that Emperor Wu would actually make such a decision.
Although Xin Guosheng looked down on Wu Yuan before, he had already heard about Wu Yuan's legendary actions.
Especially after becoming the emperor, he was deeply loved by the people.
Such a talented person was completely abandoned.
"Your Majesty, you are confused!" Xin Guosheng shouted sadly.
This sound also echoed the sentiments of many ministers.
Prime Minister Wen immediately agreed: "Your Majesty, please take back the order."
At least half of the ministers also begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please take back your life."
Emperor Wu gritted his teeth when he saw this scene. In his opinion, not killing Wu Yuan was already the greatest gift.
Xin Ruyan stood next to Wu Yuan, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger, and the look she looked at Wu Yuan was also full of distress.
Wu Yuan smiled slightly and comforted Xin Ruyan.
He had no right to speak before, but it is different now. Now that General Xin has returned, he is his biggest support.
He just said to Xin Ruyan apologetically: "Ruyan, maybe you have to lend me some of your achievements."
Xin Ruyan was startled, but his eyes were suddenly full of surprise.
Based on her understanding of Wu Yuan, since Wu Yuan said such words, he obviously had an idea.
"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Xin Ruyan said quickly.
But Wu Yuan knew that Xin Ruyan could not really care at all, "Don't worry, I will get these back for you in the future."
Xin Ruyan smiled. Compared to those military exploits, she wanted to see that Wu Yuan was fine.
After the two whispered, Wu Yuan's expression became fierce.
Then he looked at Emperor Wu, whose face was gloomy and silent.
"Father, I have a few words that I would like to say."
Emperor Wu instinctively wanted to refuse, but the situation was a bit out of control. Emperor Wu had no choice but to hold back his temper and said: "Say it!"
Wu Yuan immediately said: "Whether Ruyan's contribution is true or false, it is true that Boulder City fought a beautiful battle. I will use this great contribution to exchange for your forgiveness, my father."
After that, he turned back to General Xin and said, "General, do you have any opinions?"
Xin Guosheng looked at Xin Ruyan subconsciously, and saw Xin Ruyan shaking his head at him, and said happily: "I have no objection, general. This is Ruyan's credit. You don't need to ask me."
Wu Yuan smiled slightly and looked at Emperor Wu again.
But Emperor Wu only said, "Absurd!"
Emperor Wu's attitude was as expected by Wu Yuan, "Father, please don't worry, I still have something to say."
"My son can leave the capital, and I can issue a military order. I will not return to the capital until I retreat. Please allow my father to allow me to make meritorious deeds."
I have to say that it is surprising that Wu Yuan could say such a thing.
Since Wu Yuan's rise, they have never seen Wu Yuan retreat.
Now it can be considered as bowing to Emperor Wu, this is the first time.
Even Emperor Wu was greatly surprised and finally began to waver.
Behind him, Xin Guosheng nodded secretly. Putting aside the facts, it was impressive enough that Wu Yuan could have the courage and determination to remain undefeated and not return to Beijing.
This boy should be a hero!
But that wasn't the end yet, Wu Yuan pointed at Shen Xiangning on the ground again.
"I think my father has already found out the origin of this girl. In this case, I think my father is very clear about the fact that this girl went to Beijing to file a petition."
"The matter is too complicated, so I won't explain it."
Wu Yuan did not want to tell anyone about Longjiang Mansion in public. It would be bad if someone among the ministers in the court had good relations with people from Longjiang Mansion and tipped off the news.
Emperor Wu also frowned slightly and looked at Shen Xiangning. He had indeed investigated Shen Xiangning in detail, but not in too much detail.
At this moment, I don’t quite understand why Wu Yuan talked about this woman.
At this time, Wu Yuan said to Murong Haitang: "Can you take that imperial certificate with you?"
Murong Haitang nodded, "Take it."
After Wu Yuanqing said "Yes", he looked at Xile and said, "Can you please Peacock King to come down and show that thing to Your Majesty for a clear look?"
"Instead of saying a hundred words, it would be better for Your Majesty to see clearly for himself."
