The next day near noon, Gu Chengyu thought about the matter with Gu Wanqian and sought an opportunity to tell the Crown Prince he needed to return to the mansion.
"You were right; the Map Master is dead. He really couldn't sit still. First, he contacted Kuang Zhao Ying, then sent someone to the Mansion of Mao Jin Yuan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. But on the surface, it's to ask Mao Jin Yuan to plead for him in front of the Crown Prince so he could be reinstated."
The Crown Prince's eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Gu Chengyu. Some people are born politicians.
"His real purpose isn't reinstatement. Wait a while and see what other moves he makes. I'm afraid many officials in the court are colluding with him, and this time the court must undergo a major purge."
Gu Chengyu nodded. The Crown Prince now showed some semblance of Emperor Huiming. This gave him some confidence in his loyalty to the Crown Prince.
