Similarly, Wu Yuan also believed that Wang Baobao was not unreasonably targeted.
"Don't spread this matter to outsiders, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army." Wu Yuan warned in a solemn tone.
"Yes." Qin Liang also knew the importance.
Wu Yuan was also glad that Qin Liang heard Wang Baobao's words. If it had been Liu Zhuang, he would have started making noise long ago.
Wu Yuan then followed them to clean up the battlefield. The Qianlu Merchant Guild's station was completely destroyed. From this moment on, the entire Boulder City belonged to Da Wu.
It can even be said that the three border cities are already in Wu Yuan's possession.
All that's left is to start cleaning up the trash in the other two cities, and you're done.
It seems that Wang Baobao has also left, and also the Japanese people headed by Akano Hanako have left.
Shangguan Jianjia also went to Dayu's station to join Dayu's army, and she also clearly told Wu Yuan that they would retreat to the three cities and station outside.
This is necessary, because on the surface, Dayu and Dawu still have a hostile relationship, so they should be like this even if they are just pretending.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In these three days, Wu Yuan had completely integrated the three border cities. At this point, he had successfully completed the task.
What Wu Yuan didn't know was that during these three days, the entire Da Wu court had been in awe.
Even though three days had passed, the civil and military officials in the court still couldn't believe that Wu Yuan had really achieved such a brilliant achievement with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Based on this meritorious service alone, who else can shake the crown prince's position.
The one with the most complicated mood was Prime Minister Wen. He knew that the second prince Wu Zheng he supported had completely lost hope.
No prince could look good in front of Wu Yuan, so Wu Zheng's party members were now on pins and needles, not knowing how to deal with Wu Yuan's triumphant return.
Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.
The cabinet academicians headed by Chen Yuan have been asking for merit for Wu Yuan in the past few days, and the most talked about is to immediately restore Wu Yuan to the position of crown prince.
Word has even begun to circulate in the court that it is time for Emperor Wu to enjoy his old age in peace.
Of course, on the surface, he did not dare to say this, but how could such a sentence not reach the ears of Emperor Wu.
This is also the reason why Emperor Wu has been so gloomy these days, and has kept silent about the matter of restoring Prince Wu Yuan to his position.
But Emperor Wu also knew that Wu Yuan's achievements could not be covered up at all, and procrastination was not an option.
On the fourth day, as soon as Emperor Wu sat down, a cabinet scholar stood up at the instruction of Chen Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the three border cities have been completely stabilized. There is no more noise in the city. The eldest prince has contributed a lot. Even the people are praising the eldest prince for his bravery. If the eldest prince is not restored to his position as the crown prince, there may be an outcry among the people.
Suspicion is detrimental to the stability of our court, please be clear to your majesty!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed it.
You can even see some former members of Wu Zheng's party standing up and following along.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero. If he doesn't show his true intentions now, how long will it take?
Emperor Wu watched quietly, with no emotion or sorrow on his expression, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that if Emperor Wu had wanted to, he would have restored Wu Yuan's position as the crown prince.
But he still refused to let go, obviously he was unwilling.
At this time, Emperor Wu turned his attention to Prime Minister Wen.
Prime Minister Wen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Emperor Wu meant. At this time, Emperor Wu must have hoped to hear objections.
Prime Minister Wen is very clear about this. After all, the situation in the court where everyone in the court is united is often what the emperor least wants to see.
However, even if Emperor Wu didn't look at him, Prime Minister Wen was already ready to sing the opposite tune, not because he wanted to continue to oppose Wu Yuan, but because he secretly received Wu Zheng's letter.
Therefore, Prime Minister Wen also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that although the eldest prince takes the most credit, I have also heard that the second prince and the crown prince also contributed a lot, especially the princess who deserves to be the daughter of the general.
, the general used his troops like a god and flooded Dayu's 50,000 troops. This is a big deal. If there was no princess, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't be easy."
"The second prince has also grown a lot. He has become a general. He was the first to attack Tianli's army."
After hearing what Prime Minister Wen said, Emperor Wu finally raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Others did not expect that Prime Minister Wen was so powerful and weakened Wu Yuan's achievements from the very beginning.
The bachelor immediately quit his job and immediately retorted to Prime Minister Wen: "Everyone knows that the eldest prince is planning all this. The eldest prince is the commander-in-chief of the army, so naturally he will take the greatest credit."
Prime Minister Wen chuckled, "Of course the eldest prince has merit, but it's hard to say who has the greatest contribution. Who knows whether the eldest prince was doing something behind the scenes with the girls from the East Palace during the war?"
There was an uproar when these words came out, but everyone also started to murmur.
Although few people know that Wu Yuan took away the entire East Palace, they also heard that Wu Yuan brought many girls there.
Listening to what Prime Minister Wen said again, it is indeed controversial.
The academicians in the cabinet all secretly said that it was not good. This kind of thing would eventually be criticized no matter what.
It is indeed the best time to make an article about it at this time.
As for who made the greatest contribution, everyone knew of course. Before Wu Yuan left, Wu Zheng was already close to losing.
It was only after Wu Yuan arrived that he turned the tide. As for the Crown Princess, the reason why she was able to flood 50,000 troops was also due to the mysterious weapon. You dare to say that this credit cannot be attributed to Wu Yuan.
But everyone has a mouth under their nose. It is easy for these ministers to reason with others when they are reasonable and to stir things up when they are not.
Suddenly, the court started to become noisy again.
But the more this happened, the stronger Emperor Wu's smile became. This was the effect he wanted.
"Okay, I already know the details."
As soon as Emperor Wu spoke, the whole court suddenly became quiet.
Some people know that this time, Emperor Wu may have already made a decision.
Emperor Wu said with an indifferent expression: "The eldest prince Wu Yuan has made great contributions to the conquest of the three cities. Especially the weapons invented by the eldest prince have the ability to reverse the world."
After hearing this, the cabinet academicians were still satisfied. Finally, Emperor Wu did not try to erase Wu Yuan's achievements.
"Of course, it is true that the eldest prince indulged in women behind the battle line and disturbed the morale of the army, so the position of the prince is subject to discussion."
After hearing this reversal, many people breathed a sigh of relief, but the faces of the bachelors Chen Yuan recruited all had ugly expressions.
Chen Yuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, it seems that Your Majesty allowed the eldest prince to bring his female family members."
As soon as these words came out, it was shocking. Not everyone in the court had the courage to accuse the emperor.
