Chapter 448 Mingzhe
The emperor would never spare the life of someone who wanted to seize the throne, not to mention that he wanted to make an example of him. "Strip Rong Wang of his title and demote him to a commoner. Someone take Lin Lu away and behead him tomorrow at noon."

"Yes!" The guards outside the palace responded and came in, taking Prince Rong away.

The emperor did not let off those who participated in the treason easily and killed a large number of them. The lightest punishment was to be stripped of official position, have their property confiscated, and have the entire family exiled to the frontier, never to be allowed to return to Beijing!

After dealing with those who plotted rebellion, the emperor rewarded his meritorious officials. Ling was promoted to the Prince's Grand Tutor, Li Shangshu was promoted to the Prince's Junior Guardian, Yun Hao was promoted from Anyuan Earl to Anyuan Marquis, and took over the city's defense of the East Guard.

The number of troops that Yun Hao can mobilize directly is as many as 20,000. In addition, the Golden Dragon Order is still in his hands, so the number of troops he can use has reached 50,000.

There was jealousy in Prince Zuo's eyes when he looked at Yun Hao.

Coming out of the palace, Yun Hao called out to Prince Zuo who was about to leave, "My Lord, please restrain the Princess and don't do anything mean."

"What do you mean?" Prince Zuo caught up with Yun Hao who was leaving after saying that.

"Your Highness, you can go back and ask the princess." Yun Hao deliberately chose this time to talk about this matter in order to make life difficult for this couple.

Prince Zuo frowned. He asked Wu Lin'er to make friends with Zhao Wangshu, but judging from the situation, she failed to make friends and instead became enemies?

Back at the Prince's Mansion, the terrified Wu Lin'er just opened her mouth and said, "Prince, you..."

"What did you do to Madam Yun?" Prince Zuo interrupted her and asked directly.

Hearing the question, Wu Lin'er suddenly felt aggrieved. She was getting married today, and her new husband came back, not to spend the bridal chamber with her, but to ask about another woman. She said unhappily, "She is very arrogant, what can I do to her?"

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise when I find out, don't blame me for being rude." Prince Zuo stared at Wu Lin'er and said in a cold tone.

"You're welcome? How can you be rude to me?" Wu Lin'er cried and threw herself into his arms. "We just got married today, and you treat me like this? You have no conscience. I'm going to go back and tell my uncle."

Prince Zuo's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he hugged the person who threw himself into his arms, and said patiently: "Don't cry, Yun Hao just said a few unpleasant words, I was afraid that you would offend him and cause unnecessary trouble, so I asked you a few questions in a hurry. Don't cry, your crying hurts my heart."

Wu Lin'er's sobbing gradually subsided when she heard this. She raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Prince Zuo aggrievedly, "Are you really just worried that I'll offend Yun Hao?"

"You also know that the emperor trusts Yun Hao, so we'd better not offend him." Prince Zuo picked her up, "It's almost dawn, and we haven't had our wedding night yet."

Wu Lin'er shyly buried her head in his arms and cried tenderly, "My Lord, this is my first time, please be kind to me."

The couple went to bed and began their wedding night which was several hours late.

On the other side, Yun Hao, who had just returned home, saw Zhao Wangshu and asked with concern: "Are you frightened?"

"It's over before it even happened, and I haven't come to my senses yet." Zhao Wangshu pouted, "On the contrary, you looked so serious before the banquet, which scared me."

"It's my husband's fault." Yun Hao reached out and held the person in his arms.

Zhao Wangshu yawned, "It's late, let's go to bed."

The couple sleeps in each other's arms and has a good night's sleep.

Prince Rong launched a coup, and although it failed, it still made the atmosphere in the city tense.

At noon, Prince Rong and others were taken to the execution ground and beheaded in public.

When the body and head are separated, all the glory and wealth will vanish into thin air.

The residence of Prince Rong was sealed off, and the once magnificent palace is now empty and desolate.

The people in the city were talking about it, lamenting King Rong's ambition and failure.

Zhao Wangshu had no time to care about these things. She and Yao Shanzhi went to the Mingli Hall branch named Mingzhe Hall. School was about to start on the first day of September, and they had to see if the school building, personnel, etc. were ready.

The principal of Mingzhe Hall was an old scholar.

This old scholar, whose surname is Chen and whose name is Yu, is a respected elder.

He had bad luck and failed in many examinations, but he was well-versed in many fields and had a good understanding of both ancient and modern times.

When Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi arrived at Mingzhe Hall, Chen Yu was already waiting in the lobby.

He was wearing a long green gown and a square scarf on his head. Although his hair was gray, his eyes were bright and his every move revealed the calmness and wisdom of a Confucian scholar.

"Hello, Director Chen." Zhao Wangshu stepped forward and saluted.

"I greet the Princess of Yixing County and Madam Yun." Chen Yu returned the greeting with a smile.

After sitting down, the servant brought tea.

"Principal Chen, are all the teachers in the school here?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

"Don't worry, Madam Yun. The teachers in the school are all selected by me personally. They are of impeccable character, have superb skills, and are willing to teach students." Chen Yu replied.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Yao Shanzhi asked, "Have all the students in the school been enrolled?"

"All are recruited. There are still many people who want to come in and sign up. I have no choice but to refuse them." Chen Yu said.

"It's okay. This is only the first batch. Once this batch of students graduate, we can recruit the second batch." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Mrs. Yun is right. As long as Mingzhe Hall is there, these children will eventually be able to come in and study." Chen Yu said.

"Has the school building cleaning work been completed?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

"Five days ago, I arranged for them to clean the school. Now it's spotless, just waiting for the children to start school." Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Master Chen, thank you for your hard work." Yao Shanzhi said.

Zhao Wangshu also said: "Mr. Chen, thank you."

Chen Yu smiled and shook his head. "County Lady, Young Madam, you are too polite. This is what I should do. You and Young Madam Yun's kindness has enabled these children to learn how to make a living. This is truly a great deed. I will do my best to teach them and make them useful talents."

"Master Chen, it is a great deed that you have done it yourself," Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Principal Chen, I leave the affairs of the school to you. Mr. Yun and I have other things to do, so we will not disturb you any longer." Yao Shanzhi stood up and said.

Chen Yu saw them off and got on the carriage. Zhao Wangshu asked, "What do we need to do?"

"Jinzunlou is offering a feast, and only three tables are booked a day. If we go too late, we won't be able to eat." Yao Shanzhi replied, his eyes full of anticipation, and he swallowed his saliva.

"It's a feast for the gluttons. I know right away that it's not something that the two of us can finish." Zhao Wangshu frowned. "It's such a waste to just taste it."

"What should we do then?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

"Talk to the owner of Jinzun Tower and have them serve all the dishes in batches." Zhao Wangshu suggested.

"Good idea!" Yao Shanzhi patted her shoulder, "Yue'er, you are smart."
