Chapter 124 Seizing the Crown Prince's Position

Yu Jinghuai kowtowed and said, "Royal brother, someone must have framed Zibo. Even if he is lazy on weekdays, he would not dare to do such a rebellious thing in such an important matter as the competition."

Gong Xi Haoran snorted coldly, "Now the ministers are impeaching Prince Yu's Mansion and asking me to dethrone you. How do you want me to deal with it?"

Yu Jinghuai gritted his teeth, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This matter was caused by Zibo. I ask my royal brother to deprive Zibo of his title of crown prince to serve as a warning to others."

After hearing what Yu Jinghuai said, Gong Xi Haoran was surprised, but then he thought, this is how his royal brother is. As long as his own interests are not shaken, the life and death of others has nothing to do with him.

"All right, I will issue an order now to depose him from the position of Crown Prince!"

After hearing this, Su Gong immediately took out paper and pen, waiting for Gong Xi Haoran to write the imperial edict personally.

Yu Jinghuai hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, my royal brother, for your kindness."

"I granted you a palace, a title, and even a foreign surname, but that was not to give you privileges to do whatever you want. I can suppress this matter for you, but, my royal brother, shouldn't you also give me an explanation?" Gong Xi Haoran said coldly.

Yu Jinghuai rolled his eyes and said, "I am willing to hand over half of the taxes in the Fan territory and half of the troops."

"Half?" Gong Xi slammed the table and stood up. "You are really good at calculating!"

"In full, I am willing to hand over all the troops and taxes, and also pay you ten thousand taels of gold to replenish the national treasury. I only ask that you will show mercy and save my son's life." Yu Jinghuai responded quickly.

Gong Xi Haoran then sat down, no longer looking at Yu Jinghuai, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, he drafted an imperial edict and threw it fiercely at his feet.

Gong Xi Haoran ordered, "Su Gong, go with Prince Yu and bring back what he promised!"

Su Gong hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Prince Yu, please follow me."

"Thank you, Lord." Yu Jinghuai controlled his temper. This time, his years of planning were ruined. It was all thanks to his good son. When he returned, he would definitely break Yu Zibo's legs to relieve his hatred.

Captain Lin still did his duty and sent Yu Zibo back to Prince Yu's Mansion. He left cruelly without saying anything. Princess Yu felt distressed when she saw Yu Zibo's skin torn.

"Bo'er, what happened? Why are you so badly injured?"

Yu Zibo grimaced in pain, "Mom, find a master for me."

After saying that, Yu Zibo fainted due to exhaustion. Not long after, Yu Jinghuai came back with Su Gong.

When Princess Yu saw Su Gong, she quickly tidied her clothes and went forward to listen to the emperor's orders.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that I have observed that the Crown Prince Yu Zibo has been acting erratically in recent days and is unworthy of his position. Effective immediately, he will be deprived of his position. In addition, in view of the current situation, in order to protect the stability of Nanyuan, I decree that all taxation and military power be taken back and placed under the unified command of the court. I hope that the ministers will work together to protect the prosperity of our country. I decree this."

Princess Yu collapsed to the ground instantly. She pulled Yu Jinghuai's sleeve in confusion, "My Lord, what's going on? How is this different from confiscating the property? Why would my brother do this?"

Yu Jinghuai also had an angry look on his face and pushed Princess Yu away, "You should ask your good son."

Su Gong smiled and reminded, "Prince, Princess, you haven't received the order yet."

Yu Jinghuai calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I accept your order."

Su Gong handed the imperial edict to Yu Jinghuai and comforted him, "My Lord, Princess, don't worry. The Emperor still considers family ties and has retained your position. He hasn't taken away your throne yet."

Yu Jinghuai gritted his teeth and forced a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law. Come, help father-in-law count what he needs."

Seeing that all the soldiers and tax revenues trained by Prince Yu's Mansion were counted, Su Gong also ordered the people he brought to help, and soon all the soldiers of Prince Yu's Mansion were taken away, and all the tax books and documents were taken away. Ten thousand taels of gold were counted in the mansion, and they were also taken away. Now there are only a few servants left in the entire Prince Yu's Mansion.

Yu Jinghuai no longer cared about Yu Zibo's life or death, while Princess Yu stayed by Yu Zibo's side and invited Yu Zibo's master to treat him.

Looking at the almost empty Prince Yu's Mansion, Yu Jinghuai slumped on the couch, thinking about what to do next.

After sending Su Gong away, Princess Yu hurried back and slapped Yu Jinghuai hard on the face with a "slap". "What happened to Bo'er? Why was he injured so badly? Why did my brother take away your military power? What did you talk about?"

Yu Jinghuai was very upset after being beaten, but because Princess Yu's mother's family still had some power, he endured it and said, "Madam, don't panic. Bo'er committed adultery during the competition and was caught by everyone. These are the conditions that I negotiated with my brother, just to save Bo'er's life."

Hearing this, Princess Yu calmed down and started to cry. "What should I do? Now it's uncertain whether Bo'er is alive or dead. I don't think there is a single spot on his body that is intact. If I can find out who did it, I will definitely avenge my son."

Yu Jinghuai's eyes rolled, and he pulled Princess Yu over, "Madam, where is my father-in-law now?"

Princess Yu was puzzled, "Why are you looking for your father?"

Yu Jinghuai pulled Princess Yu to sit down, "Now that Prince Yu's Mansion has lost its military power and income, Bo'er needs treatment, and his master is not a kind person, he will definitely ask for compensation. Now we can only ask my father-in-law for help. I don't think he wants Bo'er to get into trouble."

Princess Yu thought carefully about Yu Jinghuai's words and sighed, "I will write a letter to father and tell him about this matter. Let him decide for himself."

Yu Jinghuai nodded, "This matter is not over yet, I will find someone to investigate what is going on."

Princess Yu gently stroked Yu Jinghuai's chest and said, "Don't be angry, my lord. When Bo'er wakes up, I will ask him and wait for news from my father."

"This is the only way." Yu Jinghuai held Princess Yu's hand, "Madam, I'm sorry to make you suffer by following me."

Princess Yu shook her head. "Husband and wife should be of one mind. Besides, Bo'er is my son. But I don't know who beat him into this state. Commander Lin didn't say anything when he sent him back. This competition really made Bo'er suffer. My Bo'er..."

As she spoke, Princess Yu began to cry, feeling heartbroken when she thought of Yu Zibo's torn face.

After hearing this, Yu Jinghuai also had a goal and planned to meet Captain Lin.

If he had known about this in advance, he would not have been unprepared and let Gongxi Haoran seize the military power and taxation. If he had known about this in advance, he would have found a scapegoat immediately to prevent Prince Yu's Mansion from suffering so much loss just to save a waste.

Yu Jinghuai looked at the Princess Yu in his arms and suggested, "Madam, Bo'er has lost his position as the Crown Prince, and has brought disgrace to the Yu Palace. He has also lost his status in front of his brother. It just so happens that there is a good child in my hometown, who is about the same age as Bo'er and is also a genius in cultivation. It is better to raise him under your lap, and when this child achieves fame and achievements, you can ask for the position of Crown Prince."

Princess Yu pulled herself out of his arms, "Yu Jinghuai! Bo'er is not dead yet, he is just injured. You want to replace my son with someone else, just give up on this idea!"

Seeing that Princess Yu didn't listen to him at all and left angrily, Yu Jinghuai threw his sleeves and said, they are all just trash!
