He didn't care whether the person in front of him tried his best or not. As long as he failed to complete the task he assigned, he should bear his anger.
The old man's expression darkened as he spoke of this. "This...they set up this trap because they knew I was behind it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into it so easily. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I will do my best to serve you."
He was indeed proud at the beginning, feeling that Gu Yunni was being trampled under his feet, but now he dared not even have such an idea.
He is not a fool and can feel that Gu Yunni has been playing with him from beginning to end.
With his qualifications, he really doesn't want to admit defeat.
"Get out! All of you get out of here! You trash!" Du Changming could no longer suppress his temper and threw everything he could to the ground.
The old man was so frightened that he trembled and ran out of the hall, fearing that the prince would throw something at him.
Even though he knows mysterious arts, if he is hit in the vital parts by a heavy object, he will die.
Du Changming was alone in the hall, furious. The eunuch only dared to go in after seeing that no one was making any noise. "Your Highness, the Marquis of Changping is outside requesting an audience. He said he has something important to discuss, and he looks very anxious. Perhaps he can help with what Your Highness is seeking this time."
He was Du Changming's personal eunuch, so he naturally knew what kind of cooperative relationship he had with Marquis Changping.
Du Changming suppressed his temper and waved his hand, "Let him in."
"yes."
As soon as Marquis Changping walked into the room, he saw Du Changming sitting at the head of the table with a sullen face. He became uneasy and held back the words he wanted to ask.
He couldn't afford to offend such a prince.
Du Changming was already angry, and seeing him like this, he was even more furious. "Why are you looking at me without saying anything? If you have something to say, tell me now. If not, get out!"
Even though he knew that the Marquis of Changping in front of him could not be offended easily, he could not help but roar.
The Marquis of Changping nervously stated his purpose, "I came here today to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince what your plans are. I infiltrated the camp to help you, but now that the plague has been resolved, the Crown Prince intends to enter the palace to ask for a reward. I wonder if Your Highness the Crown Prince has any way to stop him?"
Originally, Du Changming didn't know that the trouble with Sheng Mingyu had been resolved. After being reminded by Marquis Changping, he realized what stage the problem had reached.
He already had a bad temper, and now he was even angrier.
They're all trash! No matter who they are, they can't stop Sheng Mingyu!
Why is his life so good? Is it just because he has Gu Yunni by his side?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Du Changming pointed at the Marquis of Changping and started to curse him. "Tell me what you've been doing by his side these past few days! You even had the nerve to say you were working for me. Now that he's about to claim his reward, you're telling me. What on earth were you thinking?"
He knew that this would not give face to Marquis Changping, but he could not suppress his temper.
He clearly has enough ministers around him, so why is there no one available?
Marquis Changping's forehead was covered with sweat, and he regretted entering the Crown Prince's residence. "Your Highness, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don't know what you want to do, and I dare not act on my own."
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come here. I should have asked about the prince's mood before coming.
Marquis Changping didn't know how to persuade the Crown Prince, so he just spoke his mind. "Your Highness, please don't be too angry. Although the Crown Prince is very popular, it will only be for a while. When the storm is over, you will still be the Crown Prince. Look at those ministers below. Who dares to say anything wrong?"
Although it sounds unpleasant, it is the truth
Even if Sheng Mingyu is powerful, what good can it do? Even if he is favored by His Majesty, what good can it do?
Then the prince is still the prince, so is it possible that he can usurp the throne?
What's more, Sheng Mingyu is not the emperor's son, so his usurpation of the throne is not legitimate and he will never be able to sit on that high position.
"Get out! Everyone, get out!"
Du Changming became even angrier when he heard this.
He just didn't want Sheng Mingyu to get any benefits. Now that Changping Hou said this, doesn't it mean that these benefits are already set in stone! He will definitely be favored!
Marquis Changping didn't dare to say another word, turned around and ran out of the Prince's Mansion.
He didn't care whether he could get any benefits or not, as long as he could keep his life. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that Du Changming would chop off his head.
At the morning court the next day, the ministers were discussing in the hall, all talking about Sheng Mingyu's achievements.
"No wonder everyone says His Royal Highness is so amazing. If you ask me, His Royal Highness is truly amazing. He can even solve the plague."
"Yes, when the plague broke out, everyone hid away. Only His Highness dared to take on this job. It's truly remarkable."
"Your Highness is truly a pillar of the nation, and his future is limitless!"
…
It’s not that they want to praise Sheng Mingyu, it’s just that this matter caused too much of a sensation.
Not only did it leave a deep impression in the hearts of the people, it was also indelible in the hearts of their subjects.
It's the fact, what's wrong with talking about it?
What's more, every smart person knows that the purpose of today's morning court session is to reward Sheng Mingyu.
It was almost time for court, and the ministers below gradually became quiet.
The emperor sat on the throne, his heart filled with joy, and his words shocked the entire court.
"Mingyu, you really didn't let me down. You can handle everything I ask of you. Tell me, what do you want? I didn't agree to your conditions before, but you can repeat them. I will do my best to meet your wishes."
There is so much value in this statement. Whatever you want, you can get it.
What if Sheng Mingyu wanted the throne? Would the emperor also give it up?
Even Du Changming couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. His father must be confused!
Why can I ask for something I’ve refused before? Last time I asked for it, I was scolded!
Some of the ministers below couldn't bear to see this and wanted to persuade him, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor's face darkened as he heard someone speak, and he interrupted his ministers, "Shut up! Don't you see how much the Crown Prince has accomplished? He's always been out fighting on the battlefield, defending the people and the country. So what if I just made a promise? Do you really think the Crown Prince doesn't know what to ask for and what not to ask for?"
They are just too cautious. They want to be on guard against everyone, even their own family members.
But the emperor was also a smart man, and what he said left his ministers speechless.
Sheng Mingyu burst out laughing for a moment. Did he really think that everyone wanted the throne?
Seeing the situation at the moment, the emperor did not wait for Sheng Mingyu's answer and made a decision for him directly.
