Planning to marry the third master

At the second morning court session, Prince Yu still did not come, so the emperor sent someone to find Prince Yu. There were some things he was not going to condone.

After the court session, Xie Yunxiao and Duke Du both went to the Wende Hall.

Duke Du knelt down and confessed, "Your Majesty, I have found out that the matter of the city gate lieutenant was arranged by my son. As for whether he accepted money, I don't know! As for the matter of buying and selling official positions, I guarantee that my son does not have that ability!"

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Where is he? Call him to me."

Duke Du also didn't know where Du Chengmao was, so he said, "Your Majesty, I sent people to look for that evildoer yesterday after leaving court, but they haven't found him yet."

Many things are very clear, and after investigation, it is found that the mastermind is Prince Yu.

The emperor could not help but say: "My son is just like your son. We can't find him for a whole day and a night."

Xie Yunxiao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I know that Prince Yu and Prince Du have left Bianjing City."

"Hmm? When did it happen?"

"Yesterday, Mu Dalei saw a group of people leaving the city. He happened to see Prince Yu and Prince Du. I wonder if something urgent happened. I went to the palace to report that the emperor was resting."

The emperor frowned and asked, "Did you come here to talk about this? Is there anything else?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said, "I would like to ask Duke Du if the tiger talisman of the barracks outside the capital is still there?"

The Emperor and Duke Du were both shocked. Duke Du immediately said, "Of course I am. What do you want to say?"

"If he is, that would be the best. I have heard about Prince Yu and Prince Hui since I came to Beijing. Now the issue of establishing a crown prince is at hand. I am a general, so I must consider some precautions in advance. If everything is normal, what I said today would be considered alarmist."

The Emperor and Duke Du looked at each other, and Duke Du immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to return to your residence."

The emperor said to Yu Huai, "You go and accompany Duke Du."

Yu Huai immediately responded: "Yes."

No one had expected that such a thing would happen in such a peaceful and prosperous era. The emperor had never thought about it in that direction, and when he heard today that this was most likely true, he couldn't believe it.

He covered his heart with his hands and leaned over the table.

Xie Yunxiao frowned and said to the outside: "Someone, find the imperial physician."

When the eunuch came in and saw what was happening, he immediately went out to find the imperial physician.

The emperor raised his hand, indicating that it was okay and he could just wait. He looked at Xie Yunxiao and asked, "What are your plans?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "Let's wait for the results first and discuss it later."

The emperor nodded, stretched out his hand, and asked Xie Yunxiao to sit down first.

Soon the imperial physician came and took the emperor's pulse. He said, "Your Majesty, overwork will deplete your energy. It is best for you to rest."

"There are so many things to do in the court. How can I rest peacefully?"

The imperial physician was speechless and said, "I will make some medicinal soup for the emperor."

The emperor waved.

The imperial physician bowed and left, carrying his medicine box.

The emperor thought for a moment, then announced, "Come here, call Prince Hui."

The eunuch responded and went to call someone immediately.

Yu Huai and Duke Du hurried back. Duke Du was a tough guy, and was really mad at his rebellious son. He kowtowed and apologized when he entered the Wende Hall, saying, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I didn't take good care of the tiger talisman."

The emperor stood up, then his blood boiled and he immediately fell back into his chair.

Yu Huai immediately supported him and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself."

Prince Hui came in and saw this scene. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Someone go find the imperial physician!"

This time, even the Queen was alarmed. For such a major event, Duke Du could not escape the blame.

The emperor pointed at Duke Du and said, "You have failed me!"

Duke Du's forehead was bleeding and he fainted on the ground.

It was not until dark that the emperor sought out Xie Yunxiao for consultation.

At this time in the Emperor's bedroom, the Emperor also recovered and said to Prince Hui and Xie Yunxiao: "What do you two think?"

Prince Hui said: "The most urgent thing is to make arrangements quickly to prevent my brother from making a big mistake."

Xie Yunxiao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the defense of the capital is not enough. The most urgent task is to transfer troops to Bianjing. The 5,000 men in my hands are just of some use."

Prince Hui said: "Duke Du has 50,000 troops, and 20,000 are left in the suburbs of Beijing. How are you going to deal with your 5,000?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "Bring them into the palace gate Xuanwu Gate, disperse them and strangle them one by one."

The word "strangulation" is so cruel that the emperor couldn't help but frown and said, "No, they are all good men of our dynasty. I will go to persuade Prince Yu. Cough, cough cough..." He couldn't help coughing in excitement.

Prince Hui patted the emperor on the back and said, "Father, I will go. The court cannot do without you. I can agree to anything, big brother."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Leave the court to you. I will go."

Prince Hui knelt down and said, "Father, if you are not determined, how can you do this? If you follow the example of Cao Cao and use the emperor to control the princes, what will happen then?"

Xie Yunxiao cupped his hands and said, "I have another plan."

Prince Hui said anxiously, "Hurry up and tell me."

Xie Yunxiao said in a deep voice: "It is a decapitation operation."

Beheading?

What a cruel thing! The emperor is heartbroken. Prince Yu is his son, his eldest son, and his closest relative!

Prince Hui looked at his father's expression and saw that the emperor had a gloomy face. He said, "No, he is my eldest brother, the Prince of Yu in the court, and the eldest son of my father. How can you say beheading him?"

Xie Yunxiao continued in a deep voice: "Then should thousands of soldiers die?"

"this……?"

Everyone sang the same tune and laid the problem bare.

The emperor covered his chest, looked at Xie Yunxiao with a low voice, and said, "Is there any way to capture him alive?"

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. At this moment, the emperor, who is high above everyone else, is just an ordinary father.

Xie Yunxiao cupped his hands and said, "This will require the sacrifice of some soldiers. I can only do my best."

The emperor stood up and walked in front of Xie Yunxiao, and said in the tone of an ordinary old father: "You are a capable person. If you can capture Prince Yu alive, I will reward you handsomely."

"If you resist stubbornly, what should I do?"

The emperor was silent for a while, and had to say: "If you don't repent, life or death...it doesn't matter." He couldn't help feeling heartbroken when he said the last part.

At this point, Xie Yunxiao had to bow and say, "Yes, I will do my best to complete the task, but I think we need more manpower to defend the capital."

The emperor said, "Okay."

"Yu Huai, call General Song Wei."

Yu Huai responded and sent someone to summon him.

Prince Hui stepped forward and supported the emperor.

He had guessed that his father was soft-hearted, and was not surprised. Song Wei was in charge of the Imperial City Department, and at this moment, Prince Hui had guessed his father's arrangement.

It would be good if all the power was given to Xie Yunxiao, so that he would have nothing to worry about. Prince Yu was already insignificant at this point, but it was still necessary to prevent trouble before it happened...

Song Wei was in charge of the palace gate defense and soon came before the emperor. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness Prince Hui."

The emperor said, "Song Wei, General Qilin will be in charge of the Imperial City Division these days."

Song Wei was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's a matter of time these days. Should I resign or leave it to General Qilin?"

"I know you are upright, and I am not dismissing you. Just listen to General Qilin."

Song Wei cupped his hands: "Yes."

"As for when it will start, it will start today, and when it will end is yet to be determined."

"Yes."

Song Wei bowed again and asked, "Your Majesty, may I know the reason?"

Prince Hui looked at Song Wei. No wonder the Imperial City Administration was in his hands. His father liked honest people the most.

The emperor did not hide it and said, "The tiger talisman of Duke Du's mansion is lost."

"What!" Song Wei was surprised.

The emperor said: "This matter cannot be spread outside."

"Yes."

The emperor turned to Prince Hui and said, "You and General Qilin must bring your brother back. Do not let him get lost. As long as he returns, I will give him a lighter sentence."

Prince Hui bowed and said sincerely, "Don't worry, father. I will definitely find a way to bring my brother back."

The emperor nodded and said, "I am at ease with you doing the job."
