Su Yuanwu now no longer has an official status, and because the emperor personally issued the imperial edict, he will be exiled the next day.
On the day of exile, only the second prince came to see him off.
Su Yuanwu was dressed in rags and was only carrying a tattered baggage. After his house was confiscated, he no longer had any property.
There are very few things you can bring with you.
Actually, he didn’t even know if he could survive, being exiled three thousand miles away.
Speaking of which, he was quite old, and the distance along the way was still unknown, so even a young man would probably die if he tried to walk.
What's more, there may be people who want to take his life along the way...
At this time, Su Yuanwu looked at the huge capital and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He stayed in the capital for so many years and reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but in the end he ended up like this.
The weather was a bit cold in the morning, and Su Yuanwu couldn't help but shiver as he didn't have much clothes on.
But he can still wait here for a while to see if anyone is willing to come and see him off.
However, the only person he could wait for was the second prince.
"Uncle, you must take care of yourself on this journey."
The second prince shook Su Yuanwu's hand and said sincerely.
No matter what, Su Yuanwu is his uncle, and if Su Yuanwu dies, his queen mother will definitely be very sad.
In fact, the second prince knew very well in his heart that his uncle would definitely not betray him, and there must be someone else playing tricks on him.
The reason why he asked those officials from poor families to impeach Su Yuanwu was just to follow the general trend.
In order to obtain more benefits and to truly gain a foothold in the court, some things must be given up.
And this time he gave up on Su Yuanwu.
But no matter what, the second prince was indeed worried. He turned to Su Yuanwu and said, "Uncle, I still have something to say to you alone."
When he said this, he looked at the two government officials next to him.
The two government officials naturally did not dare to disobey the second prince, so they stood farther away.
At this time, the second prince said: "Uncle, you can rest assured during this journey. I have arranged for someone to be sent to your place of exile and sent the letter in advance."
"Wait. When you get there, someone will pick you up. "
"Uncle, you must live well. I will take you back when I become the emperor."

The second prince was also thinking about his mother.
Not to mention that after he becomes the emperor, he already has great power. No matter who it is, no one can try to shake his throne.
Don’t even think about Jun Lintian!
Looking at the second prince's sincere face, Su Yuanwu felt a sad feeling in his heart.
Of course he remembered clearly that yesterday those officials from a poor family also impeached him. There was no doubt that this was the arrangement of the second prince.
But he also understands that not everyone can do whatever they want in this court.
As if he could see what Su Yuanwu was thinking, the second prince sighed leisurely at this time.
Then he continued: "Uncle, what happened yesterday was not my original intention."
"As the queen, my father has no dislike for you. I shouldn’t punish you severely. Originally, I just wanted to follow the general trend to avoid being targeted by others.”
“But I never thought that my father would exile you. Originally, I only thought that he would punish you. It's just your salary..." This was actually what the second prince really thought, but he didn't expect that things would develop like this.
And the officials from poor families under him also went too far. The crimes of impeachment almost drove Su Yuanwu to death.
This was indeed not the second prince’s original intention. It was those students from poor families who simply did not understand what he meant.
But this is normal. After all, he has just brought these people together not long ago. It is normal that there is no tacit understanding.
But in the final analysis, the second prince was actually feeling a little happy at this time.
You know, he used to have no sense of presence in the court at all.
Now that he finally has so many people, he can almost impeach anyone he wants.
"This... uncle understands."
Su Yuanwu couldn't listen to that much at the moment, no matter what the second prince thought.
He is about to be exiled now. Even if he really finds out a reason, what's the point.
He sighed, looked at the second prince and said admonishingly: "Mingyu, listen to my uncle, you must live well."
"Unless necessary, you must never win over those officials from poor families again. , and those poor students from Tianling Academy, you'd better not use their power."
"As a prince, all you need to do is to keep yourself clean, these things... will only hurt you in the end. You."
Su Yuanwu knew clearly that once those poor students and officials were supported, their ambitions would be greater than anyone else's.
After all, they are used to living a hard life, and they will definitely want to try their best to climb up.
But if this happens, these people will coerce the second prince and do many things they shouldn't do. You must know that Emperor Zhou has not yet designated anyone to be the crown prince.
Once the second prince gets too involved with these poor students and officials, it is very likely that he will suffer backlash.
Lastly, let alone being a prince, even if you want to be an honest prince, I am afraid it will not be easy.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! Remember this sentence carefully."
Su Yuanwu's expression became more serious.
The second prince nodded nonchalantly: "Don't worry, uncle, I know what to do."
On the surface, he nodded in agreement, but in fact, he felt that his uncle was being manipulated by those officials. I am afraid of impeachment, especially those officials from poor families.
That’s why my uncle thought that he should be like him and stay away from these officials from poor families to avoid getting angry.
But the poor family is an indispensable and powerful force for the second prince, and it is impossible for him to give up just because of Su Yuanwu's words.
You must know that there are only two forces in the imperial court now. Apart from him, almost everyone else is working against him.
Especially Donghuang Wenshan and Luo Wenshan, the two of them are basically wearing a pair of pants.
The two of them combined together were basically half of the imperial court.
If the second prince did not have the help of officials from a poor family, then he would never be able to fight these people.
Especially now that he has determined that he is the future prince, so he must cultivate his own power in advance.
These officials in the imperial court are either pure royalists, or they belong to the forces of Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Wenshan.
It is absolutely impossible for the second prince to use these people to avoid being stabbed in the back in the future.
He composed himself and sighed: "Uncle, it's getting late, you should be on your way." (End of Chapter)
