Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Taishi Wu's words made the emperor's brows tighten, and his complexion turned livid.

The meaning in his words was obvious, he wanted to force the emperor to listen to his memorial before reading the memorial, if as expected, this memorial must be related to Prince Leng Yun.

So knowing this, the emperor was ruthless and waved to Liu Xi:

"Let's read the imperial decree first, and discuss everything later."

Before he finished speaking, Grand Master Wu suddenly straightened his expression and roared forcefully:

"Your Majesty, I have just received a letter from Wu Hong, the Great General of Shenwu. The border war is tense. He asked me to advise the emperor that there must be no fluctuations in the court at this time. Otherwise, it will disturb the morale of the army and make him unwilling to fight. I hope the emperor thinks twice. "

After the words fell, the hall was quiet, the emperor's brows were tightly frowned, a discerning person could understand the meaning of these words at first glance, Wu Yuanzhang was using the power in Wu Hong's hands to threaten the emperor, and what he said was so obvious, There is no shyness at all.

But this sentence made the emperor dare not underestimate it, and made everyone present slightly frown. Everyone knew that Wu Hong had been guarding the border for these years and made great contributions, which also led to more and more troops in his hands. , the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, otherwise how dare Wu Yuanzhang blatantly use him to threaten the emperor?

But even if the emperor knew there was a threat in his words, there was nothing he could do. After thinking twice, he waved his hand to Eunuch Liu, signaling him not to read the imperial edict yet.

Eunuch Liu took two steps back and rolled up the imperial decree, and Wu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, the emperor glanced at everyone, looked at him with cold eyes, and asked with black lines on his face:

"General Wu hasn't been back to the capital for several years, let him come back to visit his relatives during the Chinese New Year this year!"

Wu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes slyly, clasped his fists triumphantly and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy. The old minister will definitely bring his words of concern to you."

The emperor nodded slightly, but there was a bit of resentment between his brows.

If the Wu family father and son are not eliminated, they will only become a disaster and cause endless harm.

That being the case, let's put aside the matter of abolishing the prince for now, so he said solemnly to everyone:

"Prince Leng Yun, because he was young and ignorant three years ago, he used despicable means to make Leng Yu lose his expression, and pointed his sword at my chest by mistake. Now, he knows that he is wrong, so he takes the initiative to admit his mistake to me. And I am very pleased to ask you to return Leng Yu's innocence."

When he said this, his gaze was fixed on Wu Yuanzhang all the time, while Wu Yuanzhang lowered his head slightly, with the corners of his mouth smugly raised, quietly listening to the emperor's next words.

The emperor thought about it, and continued to say:

"Although it is a good thing for Yuner to correct her mistakes, it has also caused indelible harm to Yu'er. Therefore, in order to punish Yuner for her youthful and ignorant reckless behavior, she was imprisoned for one year and the salary of the Prince's Mansion was reduced by [-]%. During this period, Leng Yun must not take a step outside the Prince's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion is under the control of the imperial guards, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my will."

The emperor's punishment for Leng Yun was a temporary change of mind. Originally, his imperial decree had already stated that Leng Yun would be abolished as the crown prince, and he would be handed over to the Punishment Department, and all the people in the prince's mansion would be punished.

However, Wu Yuanzhang's words made him sober up instantly. He could not only think about rehabilitating Yu'er, but also consider the peace of Daning Jiangshan. Therefore, after thinking twice, he minimized the punishment of Leng Yun and temporarily retained his crown prince. position.

Regarding the emperor's compromise, Wu Yuanzhang felt a burst of pride in his heart, as long as the crown prince was not deposed, they would definitely win this Daning country.

Leng Yun was sent back to the Prince's Mansion, but he was not abolished this time. He was very puzzled, but he knew with his knees that his grandfather must be behind him.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the Prince's Mansion, someone came to report,

"Prince, are you back? Taishi Wu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Leng Yun hurriedly strode towards the main hall of the Prince's Mansion.

When he came to the hall and saw Wu Yuanzhang, the prince knelt down on the ground, tears fell instantly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Grandpa, Yun'er surprised you, Yun'er knew it was wrong, please punish me, Grandpa."

Looking at Leng Yun who was crying bitterly, Wu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently,

"If I knew this earlier, why bother, get up quickly, don't be ashamed here."

Hearing what Wu Yuanzhang said, Leng Yun wiped away the tears from his eyes with his sleeves, stood up directly, came to sit beside Wu Yuanzhang's side, and after the servant brought the tea, he took a sip,

"If grandpa isn't there this time, I'm afraid I'll come back dead."

Wu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at him, waved his hands helplessly,

"The emperor banned your feet for a year. During this time, you should calm down a little bit and don't cause trouble again. When your uncle's side is more stable, we can act."

Listening to Grandpa's words, Leng Yun hurriedly asked:

"Grandpa, when will I be able to ascend the throne? I can't wait, I've had enough of living in fear."

With a sullen face, Wu Yuanzhang rested his chin on one hand, half-closed his eyes, and said seriously:

"Now there is your uncle in the north, Yu Dechang in the west, King Zhennan in the south, and Huang Shixiong in the east. Of these four people, only the King Zhennan intends to be a martial artist with us. The other two are loyal to the emperor and have not let go. Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed now, we have to wait."

If it weren't for these two people, Wu Yuanzhang would have sent Wu Hong back to Beijing to help Leng Yun ascend the throne.

But right now, they don't dare to act rashly.

Wu Yuanzhang suddenly continued in a cold voice:

"Now that Leng Yu has been pardoned again, the emperor feels in his heart that he owes him and will definitely use him again, so... that's why we can't let him return to the capital safely."

"Is Leng Yu not in the capital?"

Leng Yun looked at Wu Yuanzhang with surprised eyes, and kept asking, "Isn't he paralyzed? Why isn't he in the capital?"

"Humph!"

Wu Yuanzhang snorted coldly again, his face was cold, the beard under his nose seemed to stand up and he said again:

"This is what is scary about him. Not only can he stand still, but he even went to Ninggu Tower to rescue his generals without anyone noticing. If the emperor hadn't gone to the Yu Palace in person, I don't know how long he would have been kept secret. .”

Hearing this, Leng Yun frowned lightly, gritted his teeth and said:

"Hmph! This Leng Yu is really fateful. The person who is about to die can stand up, it must be the ghost of Luo Lan."

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Yuanzhang, "How is she?"

Mentioning this woman, Wu Yuanzhang raised his beard angrily again, and shouted sharply:

"You have been fooled by this woman, and you still think about her now? She has been expelled from the capital by the emperor, and I am afraid that she will never have the chance to enter the capital again in this life."

Speaking of this, his eyebrows became a little more angry, and he looked at Leng Yun coldly, and warned in a heavy tone:

"Don't be stupid with women in the future. Your grandfather can save you this time, but it will be hard to say next time. Just do it yourself!"

After saying this, he stood up, frowned into a line, gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"The two of them, they will never even think about stepping into the capital again in this life."

After saying this, he shook his sleeves and left the Prince's Mansion without looking back.
