Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui also hurriedly arrived at the Wenhua Hall. As the most powerful and influential of the six ministries, Zhan Hui was quite influential.

He also had many complaints about the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Over the years, many civil and military officials had lost their lives because of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Zhan Hui naturally did not hide this. He hoped that the Crown Prince could see the ferocity and lawlessness of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and that this would strengthen the Crown Prince's determination to abolish the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The imperial city can be said to be the place that best keeps secrets, but it can also be said to be the place that is least able to keep secrets, as many things can be reported in the blink of an eye.

For example, after the court session, the Crown Prince summoned the top officials of the six ministries, and the conversation revolved around the Embroidered Uniform Guard. This naturally aroused the interest of many people, and it seems that the Crown Prince was not very satisfied with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Lan Yu and Chang Mao were still drinking tea, idly relaxing at the Five Military Governors' Mansion. The uncle and nephew were quite fearless, and being scolded was nothing to them. They were indeed not nervous or worried about causing trouble in the court.

It wasn't until Wang Chengen came to deliver the imperial decree that the two of them calmly headed towards the Wenhua Hall, neither thinking that anything major was going to happen nor that they would be in any trouble.

"Old Wang, does His Highness need our help?" Chang Mao was as carefree as ever; he was also familiar with Wang Chengen. "Tell me, what should we be careful about?"

Wang Chengen's expression turned bitter. He had botched the Crown Prince's mission, an unforgivable mistake. However, Wang Chengen also knew Chang Mao's special status and that the Crown Prince treated the Duke of Zheng differently; both were people he couldn't afford to offend.

Seeing Wang Chengen's troubled expression, Chang Mao became dissatisfied. "Old Wang, what kind of relationship do we have? Is there anything you can't tell us?"

"Lord Duke, please spare this servant!" Wang Chengen's expression grew even more bitter, and he secretly winked at Chang Mao, "How could this servant possibly guess His Highness's thoughts!"

Chang Mao's heart skipped a beat. Had he really messed up things in court today? Had he really displeased His Highness?

Chang Mao's heart started pounding, and Lan Yu seemed to belatedly realize what was happening as well. He was indeed feeling uneasy; he was also quite worried about some things.

To be honest, Lan Yu didn't really pay much attention to the Crown Prince at first. He was his niece's legitimate son, and had been extremely close to the Chang family over the years. In Lan Yu's eyes, he was undoubtedly the Crown Prince's pillar in the military, a natural member of the Crown Prince's lineage.

However, over the years, the Crown Prince has not been particularly close to him, and has even sent people to give him a warning from time to time. Furthermore, although Fu Youde has some ability, he was promoted and given important responsibilities by the Crown Prince, becoming the cornerstone of the Crown Prince in the military.

Furthermore, while it's one thing for younger generations like Chang Mao and Li Jinglong to be overlooked, Xu Yungong's rise in the past two years has been quite impressive, which makes Lan Yu wonder. Perhaps his position isn't as secure as he imagines. Especially with the Crown Prince absent, it seems the Grandson has no reason to rely solely on him, the Duke of Liang.

There's some uncertain information going on, but it seems his title of 'Duke of Liang' was bestowed upon him by the Crown Prince. Originally, it should have been 'Duke of Liang'. The difference is significant, and Lan Yu is naturally aware of it.

The rank of Duke was below that of Prince and Commandery King, and was the highest rank of Duke. However, just like the titles of Prince and Commandery King, there were differences in status. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Liang was one of the vassal states, with its capital at Shaoliang. During the Western Han Dynasty, Liang was located in the area of ​​Kaifeng and Tai'an, which was also in the heart of the Central Plains.

As for the Duke of Liang, that would be in the Northwest region, which is on the frontier. Regarding the Duke of Liang of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Desheng, who was posthumously honored and enshrined in the Temple of Meritorious Officials and honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, was the first among the meritorious officials posthumously honored by Emperor Zhu after defeating Chen Youliang!

I'm a little nervous; I might really get a scolding from the Crown Prince again.

Zhu Xiong Ying continued reviewing memorials. After Wang Chengen's announcement, Zhu Xiong Ying merely glanced at Lan Yu and Chang Mao, whose expressions were serious, before continuing to review the memorials, too lazy to pay them any attention.

This made Lan Yu and Chang Mao nervous and worried. Their heads drooped lower and lower, and they began to sweat. Facing the Crown Prince, they now felt increasing pressure; the Crown Prince's imposing presence was becoming more and more like His Majesty the Emperor!
