Emperor Wu's attitude at this moment, let alone Liu Baichuan, was confused, even Prime Minister Wen and other ministers were a little confused.
Although these ten crimes were nothing to Wu Yuan's body.
But these are all facts. Emperor Wu could definitely seize this opportunity to unseat Wu Yuan.
Even if it damages some royal faces, it should still be worth it.
But instead of doing this, Emperor Wu actually attacked Liu Baichuan.
This made the ministers a little confused. Prime Minister Wen carefully observed Emperor Wu's expression and couldn't help but think of what Emperor Wu said to Wu Yuan last night.
Emperor Wu could have captured Wu Yuan yesterday, but he did not do so.
Instead, Wu Yuan was asked to quell the war outside, which was somewhat intriguing.
But now it seems that Emperor Wu has also changed his past style. Instead of using thunderous means to force these ministers, he is here to deal with Liu Baichuan and other veteran ministers who are targeting Wu Yuan.
Could it be that...
The more Prime Minister Wen thought about it, the more excited he became. If the result was really what he thought, it would be perfect.
At this time, Liu Baichuan had not given up his struggle. After being criticized by Emperor Wu, he only thought that Emperor Wu was just dissatisfied with him for talking about things like Wu Yuan and Xile that were detrimental to the royal family's face.
So Liu Baichuan directly crossed this line, "Your Majesty, I am not rigorous enough about the eldest princess, but the following charges are true. Please investigate carefully."
Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu directly threw the zhezi on the ground.
"That's enough. In my opinion, your so-called ten deadly sins are just your personal prejudice against Wu Yuan."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Emperor Wu with dumbfounded eyes.
Liu Baichuan was even more stunned. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Emperor Wu in disbelief.
Several veterans nearby also began to doubt life.
Those who have lived for most of their lives can't understand Emperor Wu's operations.
Did Emperor Wu want to take back the throne?
Or are you preparing to eradicate those who oppose Wu Yuan here?
Thinking of this, these people immediately regretted following Liu Baichuan and standing up.
Liu Baichuan, who was completely in a mess, finally couldn't help but ask Emperor Wu directly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you want Wu Yuan to continue to be in charge of the court?"
This question can be said to express everyone's feelings. They also want to know what Emperor Wu is thinking now.
Emperor Wu raised the corners of his mouth, stood up immediately, and then burst into laughter.
"Now I feel that there is nothing wrong with being a great emperor. You all should be fine. Go back and tell Wu Yuan to be the emperor. If he disappoints me, I will come back at any time to make him look good."
Everyone was shocked by Emperor Wu's words. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, they wouldn't have believed that Emperor Wu would actually give up his obsession with the throne.
You know, the former Emperor Wu valued this position extremely highly.
Prime Minister Wen almost cheered.
Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.
This is simply great. From now on, there will be no more civil strife among the great generals. They will truly be united as one, and the king and his ministers will truly be one.
Prime Minister Wen could not think of any reason why Dawu was not strong.
The ministers also smiled after reacting.
Emperor Wu saw everyone's expressions clearly. Although he felt a lot more relaxed, he was still cursing secretly. Is he so unpopular?
Are you so happy when you hear that he won't fight for the throne?
But now that the matter was over, Emperor Wu had completely figured it out.
Wu Yuan is indeed more suitable to sit in this position than him, and Da Wu may really be able to dominate the world under Wu Yuan's leadership.
It's just a pity that he may have figured it out too late.
Looking at these ministers, Emperor Wu certainly understood that this was Wu Yuan's test and he was also trying to show his favor to him.
And this made Emperor Wu very satisfied.
Wu Yuan's flexible and flexible character is much stronger than his.
After hearing Emperor Wu's words, Liu Baichuan and others completely collapsed on the ground. They thought that they would make a comeback after today and teach Wu Yuan a lesson.
Unexpectedly, the clown is themselves.
Emperor Wu also looked at Liu Baichuan and others again, "You are also veterans of the court. Relying on your little prestige, you thought that Wu Yuanhui would be courteous to you."
"In the end, after being taught a lesson by Wu Yuan, you actually held a grudge. If that's the case, that's all. But you, regardless of Da Wu's safety, just to vent your narrow-minded private anger, committed these ten crimes? I think you are.
You have lived a life in vain, and you have lived in vain as a minister. Considering the fate of being a monarch and a minister, I allow you to stay away from the court and the capital."
"But after you leave, you are not allowed to tell anyone about your time as an official in the court. If you don't think it's embarrassing, I think it's embarrassing."
Emperor Wu's words made Liu Baichuan and others feel ashamed.
Indeed, they had never considered Da Wu's future. They only thought about teaching Wu Yuan a lesson and letting Wu Yuan know how powerful these veterans were.
Now I finally wake up and realize how ridiculous what they did is.
After all the ministers looked at each other, they all said in unison: "The Supreme Emperor Shengming!"
Emperor Wu also laughed and cursed angrily: "I'm afraid this is the first time I've heard your sincere praise."
Hearing that Emperor Wu was teasing them, all the ministers also laughed.
The entire atmosphere of the Peacock Palace has also changed from the previous depression and is extremely harmonious.
Prime Minister Wen just wants to go back to the East Palace now to tell Wu Yuan the good news.
At this moment, a maid came over carrying tea.
No one paid any attention to the maid at first, but after the maid put the tea set on the table, she suddenly took out a pistol.
"Bold!" the two eunuchs suddenly shouted.
Immediately, he rushed towards the maid, but it seemed that it was too late.
Prime Minister Wen was so frightened that he assassinated Emperor Wu? Actually assassinated Emperor Wu at this time?
And for some reason, Prime Minister Wen's first impression was that it was Wu Yuan's arrangement.
The person who came was none other than Shen Xiangning, who had been instructed by Huo'er and had indeed come to assassinate Emperor Wu.
Moreover, Shen Xiangning was worried that her shot would be inaccurate, so she pretended to be a maid serving tea. If she fired at such a close range, there was no reason for her to miss.
Shen Xiangning knew that there was only one chance, and the eunuchs now had no time to come to the rescue.
However, when Shen Xiangning pulled the trigger, he only heard a soft bang instead of the firecracker-like sound when Wu Yuan fired.
Shen Xiangning didn't know that the pistol had been shot out of bullets by Wu Yuan last night.
This pistol was just an empty shell. After realizing that this thing didn't work, Shen Xiangning felt cold.
But his reaction was not slow, and he took out a dagger again and prepared to assassinate Emperor Wu.
