Chen Yuan's words shocked even the cabinet ministers.
Prime Minister Wen looked over with a look of shock. He thought these academics were crazy, but to be fair, even he couldn't ignore Wu Yuan's achievements.
He had to admit that Emperor Wu was wrong this time.
However, even if the emperor is at fault, it is not the fault of his ministers, let alone the accusation in front of the court.
What's more, Emperor Wu's tacit approval of Wu Yuan to bring his female family members was only done in secret and was never made public. Aren't you, Chen Yuan, putting Emperor Wu on the fire?
From Prime Minister Wen's point of view, even though he admired Chen Yuan's courage, he felt that Chen Yuan was probably going to be unlucky this time.
Everyone looked at Chen Yuan with anxiety, and then at Emperor Wu with a gloomy face.
"Chen Yuan, do you know what you just said?" Emperor Wu asked with a gloomy look.
Chen Yuan was not afraid to look at Emperor Wu at all, "Your Majesty, I know this, and I also know it. You have no joke."
This is a fight with the emperor to the end!!
Eunuch Su, who was standing next to Emperor Wu above, was also sweating profusely. He was the person who knew the details best. He was now a little worried that Emperor Wu would blame him for his lax tone.
Although it was none of his business, he had been with Emperor Wu for decades and knew that Emperor Wu was sometimes unreasonable in his actions.
Eunuch Su even felt that Chen Yuan's official position was about to come to an end.
Emperor Wu was extremely angry and laughed back, "What a gentleman. Yes, I did say that the eldest prince can bring his female family members to the expedition. After all, Wu Yuan's temperament is like this. Sometimes a certain amount of indulgence can make him better display his talents.
but……"
Emperor Wu suddenly became so fierce that he even stood up from the dragon throne.
The next second, all the officials knelt down, even Prime Minister Wen, but Chen Yuan was the only one standing there, still facing Emperor Wu without changing his expression.
"But do you know that Wu Yuan took away the entire Dong Palace?"
"Chen Yuan, you are my minister of Dawu. Come and tell me, what does the eldest prince's move mean?"
The confidentiality of this matter was very good. Except for important ministers like Prime Minister Wen, no one else knew about it.
At first, they thought it was strange that Crown Princess Xin Ruyan went on an expedition with Wu Yuan. They had never heard of it before.
Now we finally have the answer, but this answer is a bit heavy for everyone.
Take away all the people in the East Palace? Either declare yourself king, or you want to rebel!
Chen Yuan also did not expect that Emperor Wu would make this matter public, but after thinking about it, Chen Yuan understood Emperor Wu's intention.
Emperor Wu saw that Wu Yuan's contribution was too great, so he deliberately made this matter public, so that he would have a reason to continue to suppress Wu Yuan.
Even Chen Yuan understood that even if he didn't come forward to contradict him today, Emperor Wu would still find an opportunity to tell the matter. However, in this way, Emperor Wu would show his righteousness even more.
Although he understood this truth, Chen Yuan only felt disappointed at the moment.
Because everyone understands what a beautiful victory Wu Yuan fought this time. Even if the first general led the Dragon and Tiger Army to Boulder City, he may not be able to achieve such a result.
Everyone knows that Wu Yuan's battle established Wu's reputation.
One against three, they finally won. In these short three days, many small countries came to congratulate them. It was even said that Dawu had surpassed Tianli Kingdom and became the most powerful country in the world.
Although it is a little early to say this now, as long as Wu Yuan is here, it will not take long to achieve the goal of becoming the most powerful country.
This is the real reason why no one dares to oppose Wu Yuan's restoration as crown prince. Even Prime Minister Wen never said anything against it before today.
However, when Wu Yuan was at the height of his power and when Wu Yuan was about to display his great ambitions, Emperor Wu actually tried every means to suppress Wu Yuan for his own selfish interests. How could Chen Yuan not be disappointed?
Chen Yuan finally knelt down with a pop. This kneeling made Emperor Wu raise his eyebrows.
The next second, Chen Yuan shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Dawu rose because of Wu Yuan. Without a prince, there would be no Dawu. Please don't be blinded."
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Wu was really angry now.
"Without a prince, there is no Dawu? Chen Yuan, do you want to follow Wu Yuan in rebellion?" Emperor Wu scolded sternly.
At this moment, the cabinet academicians were all trembling, but all of them knew that they could no longer stand idly by at this time.
The cabinet cannot be without Chen Yuan, and Dawu cannot be without Wu Yuan.
At this moment, almost all the cabinet academicians shouted in unison: "The great military power rises because of the prince. Without the prince, there is no great military power!"
Prime Minister Wen was already numb, "A bunch of lunatics!"
Yes, in the eyes of other ministers, these bachelors are really crazy.
Wu Yuan's face was already gloomy and frightening, "That's unreasonable. What do you want to do? Force me into the palace? Am I not dead yet?"
"Come here, Chen Yuan is causing trouble in the imperial court and intends to instigate rebellion against the great scholars in the cabinet. I will take him to the Qiu Queen to be executed, and he will imprison the nine clans!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Prime Minister Wen was also anxious.
He knew Chen Yuan well. Although he often had different positions with him, he knew that due to his character, he was an indispensable loyal minister to Dawu.
If Chen Yuan is really beheaded, I am afraid that the court will really be unstable.
It will also chill the hearts of students all over the world, and no one will dare to be an official at that time.
Therefore, even Prime Minister Wen could not stand by and watch, and he quickly begged Chen Yuan for mercy.
Emperor Wu calmed down a lot when he heard Prime Minister Wen's advice, and knew that the consequences of the decree he had just made out of anger were indeed unimaginable.
But if he let Chen Yuan go like this, where would his dignity be? Emperor Wu stared at Chen Yuan.
Prime Minister Wen immediately understood that Emperor Wu was waiting for Chen Yuan to admit his mistake. Although heavy punishment was unavoidable, as long as Chen Yuan begged for mercy and said a few soft words, there would be no problem in saving his life.
"Chen Yuan, why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to His Majesty? Do you really want to implicate the Nine Clans?"
Prime Minister Wen Cheng was so anxious that he didn't even care about anything else. He walked directly to Chen Yuan and lay in his ear to persuade him.
Emperor Wu obviously acquiesced to Prime Minister Wen's behavior, otherwise, he would have scolded him long ago.
But Chen Yuan remained unmoved, and finally turned to Prime Minister Wen and said, "Brother Wen, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for twenty years."
Prime Minister Wen was startled, but he still nodded, "It's almost there. Now don't say you don't have it, and admit your mistake quickly. I beg you."
"Brother Wen, I still remember what you said to me when we first met. At that time, I was a fourth-grade civil servant, but you told me that you want to be a minister of humerus, and you want to be a man who knows gains and losses.
A mirror, you must help my emperor unify the world, create a peaceful and prosperous era, and benefit the people."
Chen Yuan's voice was very soft, but in Prime Minister Wen's ears, it was like bells and drums beating in his heart.
