To be honest, Li Qi doesn’t really want this trash.
But Prime Minister Wen reminded him that this Wang Yuan was the culprit who ruined their plan, and he must be taken back to give an explanation to the Imperial Master.
Otherwise, he would be the one to take the blame, so Li Qi immediately ordered people to drag Wang Yuan away.
Soon, Li Qi took all the envoys back to the post house, "pack your things immediately and set off back to Tianli immediately."
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, feeling extremely heavy.
At this time, Wang Yuan still looked dissatisfied, and kept scolding Li Qi, saying that Li Qi was a traitor, a lackey, and a scum of Tianli Kingdom.
Li Qi was not angry at all, but looked at Wang Yuan with some sympathy.
Then he knelt down, slapped Wang Yuan on the face and said, "I know that you must have been tricked by someone in the brothel yesterday. Maybe today, even if you don't shout that sentence, Prime Minister Wen will have a back-up plan, and the result may still be the same.
But this does not hinder the fact that you are a fool, nor can it change the fact that Tianli Kingdom’s plan failed because of you, so just be prepared to bear the wrath of the Imperial Master and His Majesty.”
Wang Yuan saw the sympathy in Li Qi's eyes, and when he heard what Li Qi said, his heart trembled for no reason.
"I...what did I shout just now?" Wang Yuan, who finally calmed down a little, seemed to have remembered something, but he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
But Li Qi sarcastically said: "Since you scolded me so many times, I will help you recall it."
"What you shouted just now is that the Imperial Master just arrested Na Zhuri, how can you allow you to humiliate him here?"
"This is your exact words before, word for word."
After saying that, Li Qi stood up slowly, ignoring Wang Yuan who looked ashen.
Soon Wang Yuan was wailing on the ground, "No... it's not like this, it's not..."
There was also a burst of resentment in the eyes of others, and there was also sympathy in the resentment. Even they could not imagine how Wang Yuan would be treated by the Imperial Master after he returned, but they felt a little shuddering.
Wang Yuan finally wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Li Qi. Suicide was impossible. Without Wang Yuan, all the anger of the imperial master would be vented on him.
Even though Wang Yuan's end was undoubtedly tragic, as the leader, he also had to bear part of the responsibility.
Before leaving, Li Qi looked in the direction of the palace. He wanted to know who was running all this.
His intuition told him that it was not Prime Minister Wen, but who could it be? He was really brilliant.
In the palace, Emperor Wu was reviewing the memorial, when Eunuch Su handed over tea.
Emperor Wu put down the note and asked, "Has the envoy from Tianli Kingdom left?"
Eunuch Su bowed and replied: "Yes, the news just came has gone."
"Where is Prime Minister Wen?" Emperor Wu asked again.
"I've been waiting outside for an hour," Eunuch Su reminded him specifically.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu suddenly said coldly: "This Prime Minister Wen has been very scheming recently. Even I have to say that he is beautiful for what happened today."
Eunuch Su saw that Emperor Wu was hiding a knife in his smile, otherwise he would not have deliberately left Prime Minister Wen exposed in the sun for an hour.
Eunuch Su didn't respond at all to Emperor Wu's words. At this time, it was not the time to speak randomly.
"Call Prime Minister Wen to come in." Emperor Wu seemed to feel that it was almost done.
Soon, Prime Minister Wen walked in with his legs shaking. Emperor Wu saw this and said quickly: "Prime Minister Wen, sit down quickly. Eunuch Su saw that I was in trouble and didn't even say that you were already here. I punished him just now."
Eunuch Su apologized to Prime Minister Wen without any hesitation, and Prime Minister Wen waved his hands one after another.
He knew the truth very well, and Prime Minister Wen knew very well that Emperor Wu had begun to doubt him.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Prime Minister Wen suddenly knelt down.
Emperor Wu glanced at it with interest, and then asked pretending to be puzzled: "Ai Qing has made great achievements today, so why is he guilty?"
He said this, but he had no intention of letting Prime Minister Wen get up.
Prime Minister Wen also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, today's matter is not what I advocated. I just received instructions and had to do it."
"Who gave the advice?" Emperor Wu asked unhurriedly, but he already knew the answer in his mind. Before, he was just guessing, but now it seems that he has guessed correctly.
"Your Majesty, I... I am under the guidance of the eldest prince Wu Yuan."
Without waiting for Emperor Wu to continue questioning, Prime Minister Wen told the whole story.
"Wu Yuan asked Princess Huile to use the power of the Tianxia family outside to control the brothel, and then set up a trap for Wang Yuan, the envoy of Tianli Kingdom. Every link is part of the eldest prince's plan."
"Then, the eldest prince sent someone to deliver a letter to the minister, asking him to take charge of all this. This led to the confrontation in the court today."
After saying this, Prime Minister Wen kowtowed again, "I am guilty. I should not follow the eldest prince's arrangements at will. But I want to get this done even more because it concerns your Majesty and Mr. Zhuri. Please punish me."
Eunuch Su watched quietly from the side and said to himself, "Old treacherous and slippery."
He knew that after Prime Minister Wen said this, he was no longer guilty.
But Eunuch Su also couldn't see through it, so he exposed Emperor Wu like this? Did Prime Minister Wen deliberately target Wu Yuan, or did he have some other purpose?
You know, Wu Yuan is still in a state of grounding, but he can interfere with outside affairs, which is a taboo.
Moreover, Eunuch Su knew that he might also be punished. After all, he was responsible for guarding Wu Yuan.
At this time, Emperor Wu finally said, "Ai Qingping, I don't blame you or the boss for this matter. It shows that the boss still cares about state affairs, but..."
This sentence also made Prime Minister Wen and Eunuch Su feel a little stunned.
"But the boss still goes his own way and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. He still makes me very disappointed."
Prime Minister Wen also agreed: "Yes, I was equally surprised when I received the secret letter from the eldest prince."
Emperor Wu waved his hand and did not let Prime Minister Wen continue to speak, "Okay, I will handle the matter of the eldest prince. You can go back first. Anyway, what you did today was very beautiful, but Tianli
The country is very ambitious and it is very likely that it will not send my teacher back easily, so you have to think carefully about how to deal with the matter after this."
Wen Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, your Majesty, please rest assured. I will share your worries with you."
After saying that, Prime Minister Wen resigned and left.
After coming out, Prime Minister Wen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you really cost me half my life, but this time, things should be a little different."
Prime Minister Wen seemed to have thought of something, smiled confidently and left happily.
In the imperial study, Emperor Wu suddenly threw the teacup on the ground in anger, "Su Zi, do you know your guilt?"
