However!
Yu Zongzheng had been in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs for a few years. Now that he was an official, he had become more ambitious.
Yu Zongshen said calmly, "Recently, the emperor has been taking medicinal pills every day and is becoming more and more temperamental. As officials in the court, we still have to be cautious. The matter of choosing an heir ultimately depends on the emperor."
Yu Zongzheng had no choice but to temporarily give up on this idea. However, only he knew what he was thinking.
The next day, Yu Zongzheng attended the morning court assembly.
It wasn't until noon that there was news from the palace that the emperor had angrily reprimanded Duke Rong for humiliating his ancestors. Hence, he retracted his title, removed his ancestral plate, and demoted him to a commoner.
Duke Rong seemed to have been struck by lightning and fainted.
