Chapter 164;
Aftermath
The Duke of Zhenguo was really angry.
He couldn't understand how he could give birth to such an arrogant and arrogant idiot with such a smart mind.
"Master, please show mercy!"
As soon as he said harsh words, a woman outside the door rushed in crying, knelt directly in front of him, and grabbed his arm with both hands.
"Yu'er, admit your mistake quickly."
Wang Yu is also angry at this time, will he admit his mistake?
He didn't believe that his father would pull out his tongue. Who was he? The dignified eldest son of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace, the future heir to the Zhenguo Duke's Palace.
How could you do anything to him just because of this trivial matter?
Not only did he not mean to admit his mistake, but he stiffened his neck and looked unconvinced.
Seeing him like this, Duke Zhen became even more angry and raised his hand to hit him.
The kneeling lady took the lead and slapped Wang Yu in the face.
"I asked you to admit your mistake."
"Are you mute?"
Wang Yu, who was slapped again, turned to look at his mother. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his mother's eyes full of pleading.
His heart suddenly softened, and he turned to look at Duke Zhen. At this time, Duke Zhen's face was ashen, and his eyes were cold.
But it startled him.
In all his life, he has never seen his old father so angry.
He was so angry that when he saw this scene, he still dared to talk back and lowered his head in fear.
"I'm sorry, father and son were wrong."
"Master, Yu'er realizes that he was wrong. Please calm down and spare him this time."
Duke Zhen Guo glanced at Wang Yu coldly, then turned to look at his wife.
The young couple had always had a good relationship. Seeing his wife crying and begging, all the anger in his heart turned into distress.
"Madam, you get up first."
"master"
The Duke of Zhen Guo gently patted his wife's hand and comforted her.
"For the sake of your mother's sake, my father will let you go for the time being."
"Please remember clearly that you must not say these words again today. If you let him hear it again, even if your mother begs for mercy, I will pull out your tongue and drive you out of the house."
"Yes, my son has remembered it."
At this time, Wang Yu also came to his senses. Thinking of what he had just said, he was also frightened for a while.
The Duke of Zhen Guo snorted coldly and continued, "You must go to the ancestral hall and kneel before me for three hours. You are not allowed to eat or drink."
"yes."
Wang Yu responded and stepped back.
"Master, is your punishment too severe? Yu'er has never suffered hardship since he was a child. He..."
Hearing that his wife was still begging for mercy, the Duke of Zhen Guo did not give her face this time.
"Heavy? As long as he realizes his mistake today, even if I make him kneel for three days, it won't be considered serious."
"He dares to say such rebellious things. If he is not severely punished, he will not remember it for a long time. Madam, I know you feel sorry for him, but there are some things that must be made known to him about the seriousness."
The woman was silent. Just then she heard a report from a servant that the Duke of Guo was angry and taught the prince a lesson, so she rushed over immediately.
When she was outside the door, she happened to hear Wang Yu's rebellious remarks, and she was also shocked and angry.
If this is not done well, it will bring disaster to the town government.
You really should remember it for a long time.
"I understand."
"It's just that this child Yu'er has always been sensible. If the old man punished him for doing something wrong, he would definitely not be so unconvinced, let alone say such remarks out of anger."
"I don't know him"
Hearing his wife ask this, the Duke of Zhen helped her walk to the edge and sit down.
"This kid, Yu'er, is still too young to be calm."
"I am training him today because he ignored His Highness the First Prince's situation and took revenge for his own sake."
"He actually instigated His Highness the First Prince to cause chaos."
Then, he talked about the recent rumors about Xu Zhao and Lu Yaoyao, as well as the little tricks Wang Yu and the eldest prince did.
"What your Majesty is thinking now, even if you don't say it to your husband, your wife should be able to guess it."
"Then Lu Yaoyao is just an insignificant thing."
"There will be plenty of opportunities to clean things up in the future, but at this point in time, it is absolutely impossible to do anything."
"The things she donated caught His Majesty's eye, and His Majesty is also very fond of her now."
"His Majesty's attitude towards the matter concerning the Earl of Yong's Mansion has been made very clear."
"If the eldest prince provokes her at this time, it will only arouse His Majesty's dissatisfaction and send the pigtails in front of him, which will not do him any good at all."
The wife of Zhen Guogong, whose surname is Luo, also comes from a famous family and has been shrewd since she was a child. When her husband said this, she instantly understood the pros and cons.
"My master's consideration is good."
"Wanfu Xiangjun, I know this even though I am in person. Isn't she the savior of His Highness the First Prince?"
"Yu'er doesn't seem to have any interaction with her, so why would Yu'er target her?"
Speaking of this, Duke Zhenguo sighed again.
If Wang Yu hadn't spoken carelessly in front of the eldest prince, the eldest prince would probably have to change his title now.
Think about the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and then think about the things Lu Yaoyao donated later, especially the two things that were kept secret by His Majesty.
These are all first-class bargaining chips. If Wang Yu hadn't been so talkative and the eldest prince used the friendship of this savior to interact with Lu Yaoyao, what benefits would the eldest prince have gained?
With these benefits, he worked a little bit, and the eldest prince had already taken the throne.
And she still maintains a good relationship with Lu Yaoyao. If she has any strange ideas, isn't it all the fault of the prince?
How could things become as passive as they are now?
He did not hide it from his wife and told the story of the incident.
After hearing this, Luo was speechless and didn't know what to say to his son.
Imperial Palace, Fengqi Hall.
The Queen also got the news and immediately summoned the eldest prince.
It was also a good scolding, and even a warning to him. If Wang Yu had any suggestions in the future, he must think about it carefully and don't rush forward foolishly.
One lesson is not enough, now you have to teach it a second time?
It will never happen a third time in the future.
At the same time, in the imperial study, Emperor Hongwen also received the news, and also received the news that the queen summoned the eldest prince.
He didn't say anything, and he didn't intend to take this opportunity to do anything.
The Zhenguo Government is too powerful, and some of his actions in recent years have made it clear that going too far is not enough. Although he is afraid of the Zhenguo Government, he has never thought of breaking up with them.
After all, he wanted to deal with the nobles more than dealing with the Zhenguo government.
And Duke Zhenguo was his sharp knife to deal with the nobles.
Emperor Hongwen made no move, which reassured the concerned Duke and the Empress.
However, although they were relieved, the aftermath still had to be done, and the two of them still used some means to suppress the rumors outside.
