Because we were walking at night, we couldn't go any faster.
By the time we returned to the palace, the sun had already risen.
It happened to be time for the morning court. Wu Yuan originally wanted to sneak back to the East Palace secretly, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to leave, Manager Su came to find him.
"Hey, my prince, when did this happen? Are you still thinking about being lazy?"
Wu Yuan looked at Mr. Su, still unwilling to give up, and deliberately pretended not to understand, "Eunuch Su, I am really sleepy after guarding my father all night. Besides, my father has given me permission."
, I don’t have to go to the morning meeting.”
Manager Su was speechless when he heard this.
"Your Highness, please stop talking. If His Majesty hears this, I'm afraid you won't be able to be lazy again in the future. This is not the privilege of a morning court, and you won't be able to have it again."
Manager Su was also heartbroken.
When Wu Yuan heard that this matter was so serious that his privileges would be taken away, he immediately became energetic.
"Madam, I have to solve my father's problems. Even if I haven't slept all night, even if I am hungry, I still have to take care of my father's worries. Madam, please go back to the East Palace on your own."
If there weren't too many people, Xin Ruyan would really like to have a good fight with Wu Yuan. This sounds so hypocritical and deserves a beating.
How could this person be so lazy as to do this?
It seems that only women can give this man the motivation to get up early.
The more Xin Ruyan thought about it, the angrier she became, so she turned around and left, taking Murong Haitang with her.
Murong Haitang was a little worried about Wu Yuan. After all, judging from the depressing atmosphere along the way, he was afraid that something serious would really happen.
"With Haitang gone, we can't delay the prince's work to share his worries for his father."
Xin Ruyan urged, and Murong Haitang nodded, gave Wu Yuan a helpless look, and left with Xin Ruyan.
Wu Yuan was heartbroken and said, "You heartless princess, wait until after the morning court and watch me make up for your biology class."
"Your Highness, let's go too." Manager Su also urged.
Wu Yuan raised his head and forgot about it, and happened to meet Wu Zheng who turned around.
Wu Zheng snorted, a little dissatisfied that Wu Yuan didn't leave, but he was even more dissatisfied. Last morning, Manager Su had to go and invite him personally. He had never seen such an arrogant prince.
Wu Yuan smiled "hehe" and said, "Second brother, wait for me."
While shouting, he chased after him.
Soon, Wu Yuan pulled Wu Zheng to stand at the front.
After finally going to court in the morning, I had to show my face in front of these ministers, so I couldn't hide in a corner.
We need to show these ministers that our prince is serious when he has something to do and is not being lazy.
These ministers did see Wu Yuan, with lingering surprise on their faces.
But the source of surprise was not that Wu Yuan came to the morning court, but that the prince actually stood with the second prince who had always been unwilling to deal with him.
This is a scene that has never happened before.
Even some older veterans kept sighing, "It's good to be alive."
Having said that, Wu Zheng went to court for the first time in half a month today.
Because of his success in rescuing the driver yesterday, Emperor Wu also released Wu Zheng from his confinement.
"Second brother, what on earth happened to you? This incognito private visit was fine, why did he suddenly come back?" Wu Yuan pestered Wu Zheng and asked.
Wu Zheng felt uneasy in his heart.
Especially when he saw the strange looks from the ministers, he felt on pins and needles. He was not used to coexisting with Wu Yuan in such a friendly way.
At this moment, I felt uncomfortable all over, "Can you stay away from me and go to the other side?"
"Why?" Wu Yuan asked pretending to be confused.
"Because you were supposed to be in that position. Are you Prime Minister Wen?" Wu Zheng directly dragged Prime Minister Wen into the water and asked Prime Minister Wen to help him deal with Wu Yuan.
But Prime Minister Wen was also confused at this moment and said to himself, "You ask me, who am I going to ask? You two brothers suddenly came together and pushed me, the Prime Minister, to the back."
On the surface, Prime Minister Wen said with a smile: "The prince is a little crowded here, but it is spacious over there."
Wu Yuan hugged Prime Minister Wen's shoulders, and Prime Minister Wen suddenly froze.
Wu Yuan said with a smile: "Prime Minister Wen, it is healthier to squeeze in. By the way, do you know what happened?"
Prime Minister Wen did hear some gossip. At this time, he had no intention of hiding it, but said, "Prince, let go first, and then I will talk."
"Then you'd better stop talking."
Wu Yuan's words almost caused Prime Minister Wen to die from a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat.
"Quiet!" Manager Su shouted, and the entire court immediately fell silent.
Manager Su was also helpless. How long had it been since Wu Yuan was still like a living treasure? How could Emperor Wu's face become so gloomy before he saw it?
After being quiet for a while, Emperor Wu said: "The three-month period agreed with Dayu Kingdom has now passed more than half. According to the agreement, Dayu must give those three cities to me, Dawu, in one month."
As soon as Emperor Wu opened his mouth, the ministers below started talking.
Ever since the fight with Dayu ended, there seemed to be no movement in the past two months.
In these three months, Dayu actually evacuated all the city-protecting soldiers and horses from those three cities.
Logically speaking, two months have passed and the withdrawal should have been almost completed.
But now that Emperor Wu returned to the palace overnight and mentioned this matter as soon as he opened his mouth, he was afraid that something major had happened.
Emperor Wu didn't give these ministers much time to discuss their suspicions, and said directly: "I, the inspector sent by Da Wu, have not heard any news from half a month ago."
"Three days ago, I sent people to secretly investigate. As a result, I received a secret message yesterday. All eight supervisors in the three cities were dead. Even their heads were hung at the entrance of the market for many days."
hiss!!
The entire court was filled with the sound of air-conditioning. This news was really shocking.
How dare Dayu do this?
Isn't this breaking the skin, breaking the agreement, and going to war with Dawu?
This was a naked provocation. All eight supervisors were killed and humiliated after death.
For a time, the officials were furious.
Especially those generals, their faces were red, their eyes were wide open, and they were about to fight.
Wu Yuan was also shocked by the news and turned to look at Prime Minister Wen, "Is this true?"
Prime Minister Wen also nodded solemnly, "It can't be false. I have received news before the court that the situation is very bad."
"Because Dayu not only did not withdraw his troops, but instead sent a large number of strong men. It seems that he is ready to fight against Dawu."
Hearing what Prime Minister Wen said, Wu Zheng on the side snorted coldly, "You are so brave. If Dayu behaves like this, are they not afraid of being laughed at by the world, and are they not afraid of other countries taking advantage of it?"
Wu Yuan didn't say anything, always feeling that Dayu shouldn't be like this!
