"I ask you, how did you become a minister? The crown prince fell into the Canglan River while digging a canal and was seriously injured. It is a blessing for the world to have such a good crown prince. Naturally, we should pray for the crown prince. As the Huguo Temple enjoys the honor of being a national temple, the princes should naturally go there to pray for blessings."
Upon hearing Qiu Tangshi's words, Liu Huan suddenly understood and was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! This way, I'll have more time to search for the Crown Prince. I'll leave the princes in your care, Your Excellencies." He bowed deeply.
Emperor Mingde looked at the intelligence report presented to him in the Taihe Hall, completely bewildered. "Little Liangzi, who spread this news?"
"Your Majesty, the news spread too quickly. Today, my attention was drawn to the Princess, and then all the princes also had incidents. I couldn't find out who was spreading these rumors for the time being." Liang Yunsi bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
This morning, as soon as he got up, he heard from his servants that something had happened at the Prince Yong's residence. The princess had gone to the Prefect of the Capital to seek justice, which terrified him. Why couldn't the princess seek justice from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager? Why did she have to go to the Prefect of the Capital? Upon investigation, it was discovered that two maids had gone missing.
Before he could even catch his breath, the princes got into trouble. He was so scared he almost fell ill. The crown prince had just gotten into trouble, and now the princes were in trouble too! This was terrible!
"Pay close attention to the wind direction. If there is any unfavorable wind, immediately correct it for me." Emperor Mingde had experienced great ups and downs in the past ten hours, and he was still feeling uneasy.
Of all the emperors of the Great Yong Dynasty, only Emperor Taizu had ever used the concept of divine will. He had never thought of imitating it, but he never expected that someone would create such a great momentum for him.
In this way, they temporarily overcame the current difficulties.
"Your Majesty, Lord Qiu and Lord Wang request an audience," a eunuch reported.
"Xuan." He was also looking for someone to talk to about the current situation.
Qiu Tangshi and Wang Jiyang entered the Taihe Hall one after the other, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
"Rise, my two ministers, have you both heard about this?" He went straight to the point, showing that the relationship between the emperor and his subjects was harmonious.
Qiu Tangshi clasped his hands in greeting to Wang Jiyang, saying, "Yes, we have heard about it. Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."
"You two have come to the palace to see me, don't you have anything to say?" Emperor Mingde knew why the two had come, but they were both his sons, and to be honest, although he paid more attention to the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince showed that he was not suitable to be the ruler of the country, or if he was brought down by someone, he would not hesitate to depose him and establish another heir. After all, he was the ruler of the country first, and the Crown Prince's father second.
He had to consider the fate of Dayong's kingdom.
Qiu Tangshi and Wang Jiyang exchanged a quick glance. Wang Jiyang stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is seriously injured. It seems that the princes need to personally apologize to Heaven. Please issue an edict allowing the princes to go to Huguo Temple to pray for the Crown Prince.”
Emperor Mingde looked at the two men, a strange light flashing in his eyes, which made them tense. After a long while, Emperor Mingde said, "Draft an edict to order all the adult princes to go to Huguo Temple to pray for the Crown Prince."
Upon returning from the capital, Zhao Shu was greeted by Xiao Guozi as soon as she entered the residence. "Princess, it has been sent out of the capital. This is what the master asked me to pass on to the Prince." With that, he handed Zhao Shu a purple-gold crown.
Zhao Shu took the purple-gold crown, examined it, and confirmed that the craftsmanship was indeed extraordinary. "Send more people, and split up with Uncle to secretly search for the Crown Prince. Be sure not to reveal your identities," she said again, still worried.
