Chapter 391: The court blamed the emperor
Similarly, Wu Yuan also believed that Wang Baobao was not unreasonably targeted.
"Don't spread this matter to outsiders, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army." Wu Yuan warned in a solemn tone.
"Yes." Qin Liang also knew the importance.
Wu Yuan was also glad that Qin Liang heard Wang Baobao's words. If it had been Liu Zhuang, he would have started making noise long ago.
Wu Yuan then followed them to clean up the battlefield. The Qianlu Merchant Guild's station was completely destroyed. From this moment on, the entire Boulder City belonged to Da Wu.
It can even be said that the three border cities are already in Wu Yuan's possession.
All that's left is to start cleaning up the trash in the other two cities, and you're done.
It seems that Wang Baobao has also left, and also the Japanese people headed by Akano Hanako have left.
Shangguan Jianjia also went to Dayu's station to join Dayu's army, and she also clearly told Wu Yuan that they would retreat to the three cities and station outside.
This is necessary, because on the surface, Dayu and Dawu still have a hostile relationship, so they should be like this even if they are just pretending.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In these three days, Wu Yuan had completely integrated the three border cities. At this point, he had successfully completed the task.
What Wu Yuan didn't know was that during these three days, the entire Da Wu court had been in awe.
Even though three days had passed, the civil and military officials in the court still couldn't believe that Wu Yuan had really achieved such a brilliant achievement with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Based on this meritorious service alone, who else can shake the crown prince's position.
The one with the most complicated mood was Prime Minister Wen. He knew that the second prince Wu Zheng he supported had completely lost hope.
No prince could look good in front of Wu Yuan, so Wu Zheng's party members were now on pins and needles, not knowing how to deal with Wu Yuan's triumphant return.
Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.
The cabinet academicians headed by Chen Yuan have been asking for merit for Wu Yuan in the past few days, and the most talked about is to immediately restore Wu Yuan to the position of crown prince.
Word has even begun to circulate in the court that it is time for Emperor Wu to enjoy his old age in peace.
Of course, on the surface, he did not dare to say this, but how could such a sentence not reach the ears of Emperor Wu.
This is also the reason why Emperor Wu has been so gloomy these days, and has kept silent about the matter of restoring Prince Wu Yuan to his position.
But Emperor Wu also knew that Wu Yuan's achievements could not be covered up at all, and procrastination was not an option.
On the fourth day, as soon as Emperor Wu sat down, a cabinet scholar stood up at the instruction of Chen Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the three border cities have been completely stabilized. There is no more noise in the city. The eldest prince has contributed a lot. Even the people are praising the eldest prince for his bravery. If the eldest prince is not restored to his position as the crown prince, there may be an outcry among the people.
Suspicion is detrimental to the stability of our court, please be clear to your majesty!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed it.
You can even see some former members of Wu Zheng's party standing up and following along.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero. If he doesn't show his true intentions now, how long will it take?
Emperor Wu watched quietly, with no emotion or sorrow on his expression, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that if Emperor Wu had wanted to, he would have restored Wu Yuan's position as the crown prince.
But he still refused to let go, obviously he was unwilling.
At this time, Emperor Wu turned his attention to Prime Minister Wen.
