Chapter 143: Phoenix Reincarnation

Wu's words made the emperor's brows tighten, and his face became blue for a while.

The meaning of his words was obvious, he wanted to force the emperor to listen to his recital before reading it, and if it was unexpected, this recital must have something to do with the crown prince Leng Yun.

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

"Read the decree first, and then discuss everything."

Before he finished speaking, Taishi Wu suddenly straightened his expression and shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a letter from Wu Hong, the general of Shenwu, and the war at the border is tight, so he asked the minister 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, so that he has no intention of fighting, and I hope the emperor will think twice."

When the words fell, there was silence in the hall, and the emperor's brows were furrowed, and a clear-eyed person could understand the meaning of this sentence at first glance, Wu Yuanzhang was using the power in Wu Hong's hands to threaten the emperor, and it was said so obviously that there was no trace of evasion.

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

But even if the emperor knew that there was a threat in his words, he was helpless, and after thinking twice, he waved his hand to Gonggong Liu and signaled him not to read the holy decree first.

Gonggong Liu took two steps back and rolled up the holy decree, and Wu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief.

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

"General Wu hasn't been back to the capital for a few years, and when the Chinese New Year comes this year, let him come back to save his family!"

Wu Yuanzhang's eyes rolled slyly, and he hugged his fists proudly:

"Thank you for the emperor's compassion, the old minister will definitely bring the emperor's words of concern."

The emperor nodded slightly, but there was a little more resentment between his eyebrows.

The father and son of the Wu family, if they are not removed, will only become a disaster and cause endless harm.

In this case, the matter of abolishing the crown prince will be put aside for the time being, so he said to everyone solemnly:

"Prince Leng Yun, three years ago, because of his youth and ignorance, he used despicable means to cause Leng Yu's expression to be confused, and mistakenly pointed his sword at my chest, and now, he knows that he is wrong, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake to me, and asked me to return Leng Yu's innocence, I am very pleased."

When he said this, his eyes kept staring at Wu Yuanzhang, and Wu Yuanzhang hung his head slightly, the corners of his mouth rose proudly, and listened to the emperor's next words.

The emperor thought for a moment and continued:

"Although it is a good thing that Yun'er knows that her mistakes can be corrected, it has also caused indelible damage to Yu'er, so in order to punish Yun'er's reckless behavior of youth and ignorance, she will be confined for one year, and the prince's mansion will be reduced by three percent.

The emperor's punishment of Leng Yun was a temporary change of mind, and his holy decree had already written that he would abolish Leng Yun's position as the crown prince and hand him over to the Shen Criminal Division for disposal, and the people of the prince's mansion would be sent down together.

However, Wu Yuanzhang's words made him sober up in an instant, he couldn't just think about rehabilitating Yu'er, but also considered the peace of the Daning country, so after thinking about it again, he reduced the punishment of Leng Yun to the minimum and temporarily retained his position as the crown prince.

For the emperor's compromise, Wu Yuanzhang's heart was proud, as long as the prince was not deposed, they would be bound to win this Da Ning country.

Leng Yun was put back in the Prince's Mansion, and he was not abolished this time, he was very puzzled, but he also knew with his knees that his grandfather must be supporting him behind his back.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the prince's mansion, someone came to report,

"Prince, are you back? Master 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 front of the hall and saw Wu Yuanzhang, the prince knelt directly on the ground, tears fell instantly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Grandpa, Yun'er frightened you, Yun'er knows that she is wrong, please punish your grandfather."

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

"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, hurry up, don't be embarrassed here."

Hearing Wu Yuanzhang say this, Leng Yun wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, stood up directly, came to Wu Yuanzhang's side and sat down, and after the next person brought the tea, he took a sip,

"If my grandfather is not here this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

Wu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at him, waving his hand helplessly,

"The emperor forbade you for a year, during this time, you stop a little, don't cause trouble again, and when your uncle's side is more stable, we can act."

Listening to his grandfather's words, Leng Yun hurriedly asked:

"Grandpa, when will I ascend to the throne? I can't wait, I've had enough of worrying about it. ”

Wu Yuanzhang had a calm face, supported his cheek with one hand, half-squinted his eyes, and said solemnly:

"Now there is your uncle in the north, Yu Dechang in the west, King Zhennan in the south, and Huang Shixiong in the east, among these four people, only King Zhennan intends to fight with us, and the other two are loyal to the emperor and have not let go so far, so we can't rush this matter now, we have to wait."

If it weren't for these two people, Wu Yuanzhang would have asked Wu Hong to raise troops to return to Beijing and help Leng Yun ascend the throne.

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

Wu Yuanzhang suddenly said in a cold voice:

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

"Leng Yu is not in the capital?"

Leng Yun looked at Wu Yuanzhang with surprised eyes, and asked repeatedly, "Isn't he paralyzed?" How could it not be in the capital? ”

"Humph!"

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

"This is exactly what is terrifying about him, not only can he stand, but he went to Ningguta to save his generals unconsciously, if it wasn't for the emperor to go to Yuwang's Mansion in person, I don't know how long he would have been hidden."

Hearing this, Leng Yun's eyebrows raised slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Humph! This Leng Yu is really fateful, and the dying person, if he can stand up, it must be that Luo Lan's ghost. ”

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

At the mention of this woman, Wu Yuanzhang's beard cocked angrily again, and shouted:

"You fell for this woman's way, and you still think about her? She has been expelled from the capital by the emperor, and I am afraid that she will never have the opportunity to enter Beijing again in this life. ”

Speaking of this, there was a little more anger between his eyebrows, his eyes looked at Leng Yun coldly, and he admonished in a heavy tone:

"Don't be stupid with women in the future, this time your grandfather can protect you, next time it's not easy to say, you can do it yourself!"

After saying this, he stood up, his brows twisted into a line, gritted his teeth and said hatefully:

"The two of them, don't want to set foot in the capital again in this life."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left the prince's mansion without looking back.
