Yes, at that time, he also entered the court with full ambitions, and he was indeed outstanding, step by step, he reached the position of prime minister, one person below others and above ten thousand people.
But how he got to this position, only he knows best.
Over the past twenty years, he has become more diplomatic and learned to assess situations.
Of course, he did assist Emperor Wu in doing many important things. No one would say that he was incompetent, let alone that his moral character was not worthy of his position.
But he no longer had the high-spiritedness he once had, and he no longer had that innocent heart.
Just when Prime Minister Wen was stunned, Chen Yuan suddenly stood up.
Chen Yuan did not go to see Emperor Wu. This indifferent look made Emperor Wu feel murderous again. At this moment, he had already made a decision. Even if the court could not kill Chen Yuan, he would find an excuse to kill Chen Yuan later.
Yuan was executed.
Sensing Chen Yuan's gaze, all the ministers raised their heads, some were surprised, some were respectful, and some were indifferent.
But no matter who it was, Chen Yuan's eyes remained the same, full of hope and warmth.
"Everyone, Mr. Chen is very happy to be an official in the same court as all the ministers. I believe that many people, like me, have seen the opportunity of Dawu's rise."
"If you take a step forward, the sky will be high and the sea will be vast; if you take a step back, the abyss will be vast!"
"Shut up, Chen Yuan, do you still dare to cause trouble to Chao Gang? Are you making such nonsense?" Emperor Wu scolded angrily.
This time, Chen Yuan ignored them and just continued to look at those shocked eyes, "I'm old, and it's time for me to let you young people go and fight for your future. You are the future of Dawu."
Is this Emperor Hanwu? Chen Yuan is really crazy.
Prime Minister Wen also looked at Chen Yuan with mixed emotions, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
At this time, Chen Yuan once again spoke under the scolding of Emperor Wu: "Today I am guilty. The crime of disobeying our monarch is unforgivable, so I, Chen Yuan, plead guilty."
This is begging for mercy, finally speaking softly.
Emperor Wu thought so too, but he still groaned and thought again, "Even if I don't kill you today, I will kill you tomorrow."
But the next second, Chen Yuan shouted again: "So today I, Chen Yuan, spilled my blood on the Golden Palace, died to apologize, died to be wise, and died to prove the world."
"No!" Prime Minister Wen shouted urgently, but it was still a step too late. Chen Yuan resolutely hit the stone pillar with his head.
"Old Chen!!" the bachelors shouted sadly.
But it was already too late. When Prime Minister Wen came forward, Chen Yuan had already died.
Eunuch Su also rushed down quickly. After confirming that Chen Yuan was dead, he quietly retreated to the emperor's side.
Emperor Wu panicked after hearing Eunuch Su's confirmation.
Chen Yuan can't die, at least he can't die in the court. Now he's in trouble.
Emperor Wu looked at the court that was already in chaos, and then remembered Chen Yuan's last words just now. Emperor Wu knew that if Chen Yuan's matter could not be resolved well, the court might really be in chaos.
So the next second, Emperor Wu rushed down quickly and cried out sadly: "Aiqing, you are confused, you are confused."
Emperor Wu pushed everyone aside, and then came to Chen Yuan's side sadly.
Seeing Emperor Wu burst into tears, many people were moved in their hearts, but a small number of people looked at Emperor Wu with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Prime Minister Wen was the closest, and he could clearly see that although Emperor Wu cried loudly, not a single tear actually fell.
Prime Minister Wen clenched his fists subconsciously. Chen Yuan's words before his death touched him greatly, as if something deep in his heart was awakened.
Emperor Wu cried for a while and then said: "Although Chen Yuan was temporarily confused about my decree, his dedication to the court throughout his life is unparalleled. Therefore, Chen Yuan was named Prime Minister and buried as a prince."
A group of cabinet academicians knelt down with tears of gratitude to thank the Lord for Chen Yuan's kindness. However, some of these academicians knelt down but lowered their heads with a look of cowardice and resentment.
They are all smart people and will not show it at this time. Even if they are dissatisfied with Emperor Wu, they must express their gratitude to Emperor Wu at this time, otherwise Emperor Wu will definitely clean them up afterwards.
Prime Minister Wen also understood this truth, and even deliberately winked at the stubborn bachelor who refused to kneel down.
But there are always some people who are proud and unwilling to destroy Chen Yuan's will.
Prime Minister Wen was anxious. He wanted to save these seeds for Chen Yuan because he had discovered that Emperor Wu had noticed them. Although Emperor Wu didn't say anything, Prime Minister Wen knew that these people might not live long.
You don't even need to deliberately search for any evidence of crime. You just need to claim that Chen Yuan was deceived and instigated by these people and was temporarily confused. Then put the charge of treason on these people. These people will undoubtedly die.
Unfortunately, under Chen Yuan's influence, these people still stared at Emperor Wu even though they knew they would die.
"Oh, why bother!" Prime Minister Wen lamented in his heart.
The looks in these people's eyes also made Emperor Wu unwilling to wait any longer, so he said to Prime Minister Wen: "I have never doubted Chen Aiqing's loyalty to me, Da Wu, and to me. There must be someone in the cabinet.
You are trying to confuse the public with your lies, so let me investigate, and I must give an explanation to Chen Aiqing."
Prime Minister Wen never thought that this matter would be his turn.
But when I think about it carefully, I understand that firstly, this is a test by Emperor Wu, and secondly, it is naturally because he is the only one who has the right to investigate the people in the cabinet. After all, the current Ministry of Punishment and the system have not been completely restored. For the time being, it is
Not useful.
Prime Minister Wen did not dare to refuse and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely find those who are misleading the public with their lies."
After saying that, he looked at those people who just refused to kneel with fierce eyes.
Emperor Wu saw that Prime Minister Wen understood what he meant, and secretly nodded to Prime Minister Wen.
"Prime Minister Wen, I will leave this matter to you. Don't let me down." Emperor Wu said as he walked past Prime Minister Wen.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I already have someone suspicious in my mind." Prime Minister Wen said in a low voice.
Emperor Wu smiled slightly and said, "That's very good. If this matter is done well, I will definitely be richly rewarded."
After saying that, Emperor Wu left with the support of Eunuch Su, looking shocked.
Not long after Emperor Wu left, a decree came out, "The three border cities were victorious. The eldest prince Xuan returned to the capital with the East Palace to receive the reward. The second prince still needs more training. The second prince will take over the military talisman and continue to guard the three border cities."
"
As soon as this imperial edict came out, everyone knew that Wu Yuan's military power had been relieved.
As for what rewards he can receive after returning to Beijing, he can't even restore his position as prince, so any more rewards are a joke.
Only this time, the person who dared to speak was no longer there. When Chen Yuan died, it seemed that the entire court and the entire capital was shrouded in a layer of haze.
