Looking at the look on the second prince's face, Su Yuanwu knew that what he just said had no effect on him.
In fact, the second prince used to be a small role with no sense of existence in the court. Now that he has power, how can he let go so easily?
This is human nature.
Even though Su Yuanwu had been struggling in the court for so many years and had tolerated it all his life, although his status was high, the power in his hands was not that great.
But when he had really tasted the power in the hands of the Minister of Civil Affairs in recent times, he was reluctant to let go.
It's a pity that even if he doesn't want to let go now, he has to let it go.
"Uncle? The government officials are here."
The second prince looked at the two government officials next to him.
Su Yuanwu didn't say anything more, knowing that he couldn't persuade Erfangwu.
He turned around and left with the two government officials without saying anything.
Anyway, he has already said what he should say, and the words have been delivered. As for whether he listens to them or not, that is the second prince's own business.
He knew that he would not be able to help the second prince for too long.
Great power...always comes with sacrifice.
When he reached the city gate, Su Yuanwu looked back at the entire capital.
He longs for the capital, and he longs for power.
It’s gone after all.
The second prince watched Su Yuanwu walking further and further away, but there was no sad look on his face at this moment.
On the contrary, his face was full of fighting spirit.
Now he also realizes how dangerous the fighting in the court is. Even his uncle was exiled.
If he wants to gain a foothold in the court, he must gain more power!
The second prince went back soon and continued to win over officials from poor families. At the same time, he also tried to find ways to connect with students from poor families in Tianling Academy.
These are the only people he can rely on.
Of course, if he can secretly bring Su Yuanwu back from the exile zone later, and then let Su Yuanwu make suggestions for him...
Then the second prince can definitely reach a higher level.
Now he is already thinking about how to bring Su Yuanwu back from exile.
However, the next day.
The second prince was about to go to Tianling Academy to meet the newly elected chief disciple, but when he was going out, he was stopped by a servant.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, it’s not good!”
The servant directly blocked the way of the second prince.
The second prince looked a little unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so alarmed?"
The servant looked at the second prince, and at this moment he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to say anything.
"If you have anything to say, hurry up. I have to go to Tianling Academy!" The second prince said and turned to leave.
But at this moment, the servant said something shocking: "Your Highness, Mr. Su, Mr. Su is dead."
The second prince was suddenly startled when he heard this.
Then he frowned and asked, "Which Mr. Su?"
"Your uncle... Lord Su Yuanwu."
After the servant finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head again.
He didn't want the second prince to vent his anger on him again.
"Uncle Su...is dead?" The second prince looked stunned, even a little unbelievable.
He stared hard at the servant who delivered the news, grabbed him again, and asked angrily: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Uncle was so worried when he first set off. He's still fine, how could he die?"
The servant quickly knelt on the ground, his body trembling a little: "Your Highness, I don't dare to lie."
"Master Su did it when he first set off. Okay, but not long after leaving the capital, he was intercepted by a group of bandits."
"Master Su himself has no cultivation level, and the two government officials who escorted him are not very strong either... The robbers originally wanted to steal money, but how could the two government officials be willing to give away the money they had on them..."
"So, a conflict broke out. Mr. Su was unfortunately killed, but one of the government officials escaped death, so that the news could be sent back."
After listening to what the servant said, the second prince was already His face was pale, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, but they dropped down weakly after a moment.
Uncle... is dead.
And he was brutally killed by bandits, and even now the murderer can't be found. What should he do?
The eyes of the second prince suddenly became moist. No matter what, Su Yuanwu was his uncle.
He still remembers that when he was young, his uncle basically taught him how to read and write.
Not to mention that Su Yuanwu did teach him a lot of things that he needed to pay attention to in the officialdom during the recent period.
Su Yuanwu is his leader.
The second prince felt so weak that he leaned against the wall next to him and burst into tears for a moment.
In the final analysis, Su Yuanwu's death had a lot to do with him.
If it weren't for the fact that he asked those officials from poor families to impeach Su Yuanwu, Su Yuanwu would not have been exiled at all.
Even he should have thought of it earlier.
Su Yuanwu offended so many people in the court, and this time both Donghuang Wenshan and Luo Wenshan were impeaching him.
So he will definitely not be allowed to live so easily, and killers will definitely be arranged on the way to exile.
This was something I didn’t even have to think about.
But the second prince did not think of this matter before.
He originally thought that his uncle could reach the place of exile safely, but now Su Yuanwu has died just after leaving the capital.
The second prince... made a miscalculation.
The escape route he had planned for Su Yuanwu was not used at all.
In addition, although he now has a lot of people in the court, he actually does not have a suitable idea.
So after losing Su Yuanwu, he felt like he had lost his backbone and didn't know what to do.

Royal study room.
After hearing the news, Emperor Zhou was also shocked and his heart was filled with anger.
You must know that the reason why he sentenced Su Yuanwu to exile for three thousand miles instead of beheading him in public was to save Su Yuanwu's life.
He even specially found someone to check up on the two dentists and told them to take good care of Su Yuanwu on the road. After all, this was his brother-in-law and the Queen's brother!
And Emperor Zhou didn’t want others to think that he had no tolerance for others.
Su Yuanwu did indeed do some bad things, but in fact it was just because too many people were impeaching him.
So Emperor Zhou had to punish him.
He never thought about Su Yuanwu's death. After all, Su Yuanwu had been an official in the court for so long, and the relationship between monarch and minister for so many years was still there.
Now that Su Yuanwu is dead, what will the officials in the court think of Emperor Zhou?
Do they still dare to do their best for Emperor Zhou?
"Let the Ministry of Punishment and the Forbidden Army investigate this matter immediately! Find out that group of gangsters, and we can't let Su Yuanwu die in the dark!"
Emperor Zhou was furious and went to court. Eunuch Li said: "Those bandits who dare to disturb the court outside the capital are really tired of living!" (End of Chapter)
