Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Mao Ping's powerful shout immediately alarmed Emperor You'an in the Yangxin Palace.

Emperor You'an was suddenly startled and immediately stood up to look outside. Eunuch Shi hurried forward to help him, and Marquis Shen also followed Emperor You'an out with a nervous look on his face.

The palace servants reacted quickly, rushing over from all directions and respectfully carried the prince into the eastern warm room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Then everyone divided the work quickly and someone went to call the imperial physician.

Emperor You'an sat beside the prince's couch, looking at him unconscious and angry: "What happened? Why did the prince faint from anger? Where is the imperial physician?"

Court Judge Chen rushed over in a hurry, feeling completely confused. Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince faint again?

He felt the prince's pulse tremblingly. His Highness' pulse was still the same as last time. Except for being a little weak, there was nothing wrong with him. But since he fainted from anger...

Judge Chen had some thoughts in his mind: "To answer your Majesty's question, the Crown Prince was poisoned last time and his internal organs were injured. He already needed to be well nursed back to health. Now he is angry and fainted because of the anger."

"Are you angry?" asked Emperor You'an.

"In reply to the Emperor..."

Mao Ping looked at the account book in his hand, guessing what the prince meant, and immediately rushed to Emperor You'an's feet to explain. Unexpectedly, he stumbled and the account book slipped out of his hand and happened to fall at the feet of Lord Shen.

But at this moment, what could be more important than the prince’s life?

So he didn't bother to pick up the account books, but told the whole story from the beginning: "Your Highness originally wanted to ask Lord Jiang for an explanation on behalf of the princess, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Lord Jiang was burning the letters and account books. Your Highness was furious when he saw them..."

Through Mao Ping's careful narration, Emperor You'an not only understood the causes and consequences of the Crown Prince's fainting, but also learned without any preparation that the Minister of War was corrupt and that the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace was interfering in state affairs.

Empress Dowager Jiang was lucky. She was born as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in the Zhenguo Mansion. When she grew up, she married the late emperor as empress in accordance with the ancestral precepts of the Dashun Dynasty. Her son was the crown prince. After her son ascended the throne, she became the empress dowager.

Queen Mother Jiang also knew that when water is full it will overflow and when the moon is full it will wane.

After becoming the empress dowager, she began to meditate and worship Buddha, and ignored the power in the court. It was only when the prince fainted last time and the emperor issued an edict to grant him a marriage that she stepped forward to try to stop it, but failed to stop Emperor You'an, so she gave up.

Even Emperor You'an did not expect that the one who made the prince faint from anger would be the maid in the Cining Palace.

"What kind of account book could alarm the Queen Mother?" Emperor You'an frowned, with an indescribable look on his face.

The harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and even if the empress dowager intervened, it would still make Emperor You'an quite unhappy.

Mao Ping seemed to have just remembered it, and hurriedly lowered his head to look for it: "Where is the account book? It was in my hand just now."

Lord Shen closed the account book he had just read and handed it to Emperor You'an. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the account book is here."

If the anger before entering the palace was pretended, then the anger now has increased a hundred times. I knew that Jiang Zisheng had embezzled military funds, but after reading the account book, I realized how bold Jiang Zisheng was.

Emperor You'an took the account book and became furious after just a few glances.

The military expenditure of the Ministry of War increases every year. Last year, as much as two million taels were allocated. However, only more than 100,000 taels were sent to Western Xinjiang through Jiang Zisheng, and the rest went into the Jiang family's warehouse.

Great, this is using the Dashun national treasury as the Jiang family’s private treasury!

No wonder they wanted to stop the prince, no wonder the prince was so angry that he fainted!

Emperor You'an felt deeply that the Jiang family's outrageous slap had hit him, the emperor, hard in the face today.

"Come here, search the residence of the Minister of War." Emperor You'an said gloomily, "Send Jiang Zisheng to the Dali Temple for strict investigation."

Since the emperor had already ordered the punishment of the Jiang family, Lord Shen decided to stop while he was ahead and no longer mentioned the matter of breaking off the engagement. Instead, he persuaded the emperor to calm down and then left the palace.

"Go ask the Imperial Observatory to come and take a look." Emperor You'an looked at the unconscious prince and was still worried. His son was really a cause of worry.

Fortunately, after checking, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that there was nothing wrong with the sky. Coincidentally, Murong Xuan also woke up at this moment and put his hand on his forehead: "Father, I am fine..."

Emperor You'an felt much more at ease.

Murong Xuan tried hard to sit up and said in a low voice: "Father, Jiang Zisheng's account book..."

Emperor You'an nodded: "I already know about this matter, Xuan'er, don't worry, I have already asked someone to investigate this matter."

Murong Xuan nodded, took a few deep breaths, and managed to say:

"Father, the chaos in the Jiang family, after all, is because I want to marry Shen... cough... cough... I beg for your permission. I want to go to the imperial mausoleum to hold the wedding ceremony and comfort our ancestors. This marriage is not against the ancestral teachings, but is God's will. Also, father, you have a kind heart for me..."

His words were sincere and reasonable, and he took the initiative to take responsibility for the arranged marriage.

When Emperor You'an heard this, he thought about it for a moment and felt that it had only benefits and no harm, so he agreed.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

The Ministry of Justice received the emperor's order and transferred twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from Minister Jiang's mansion. Some of the treasures were even more exquisite than those in the national treasury.

When these jewels were carried into the Yangxin Palace, Emperor You'an became so angry that his head turned dark.

It turns out that what he, the emperor, got were just the leftovers from the Jiang family!

Just when Emperor You'an was about to sentence him to death, Duke Zhenguo Jiang Hong dragged his old bones and trembled into the palace, holding out the Jiang family's imperial red seal and iron certificate, begging the emperor to spare his youngest son's life.

The death penalty could be avoided, but the living punishment could not be escaped. In the end, the male members of Jiang Zisheng and his branch were sentenced to exile 3,000 miles away, and the female members were sent to Yeyouting.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was not affected much, but after losing the red seal and iron certificate that represented its honor, it was no longer as good as before.

From beginning to end, Queen Mother Jiang did not show up.

Looking at the overall situation, everyone felt that the Jiang family had brought this upon themselves.

-

Princess Huayang's Mansion.

Shen Xiyue sighed with emotion. In just one day, she not only brought down the Minister of War, but also suppressed the prestige of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Especially the moment when Murong Xuan fainted, it simply provoked Emperor You'an's anger to the extreme.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a voice of communication outside.

"Your Highness is here."

"Please come in quickly."

When Murong Xuan came in, the corners of his robe were stained with the scent of flowers, his eyes were bright, and there was a smile on the corners of his lips. How could there be even a trace of sickness on his face?

He sat down opposite her, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, savoring it carefully: "Spring tea that just came down this year? It smells so good."

Shen Xiyue held her chin with one hand, looked at him and joked, "Your Highness, you really have a good acting skill. I heard that the palace called the imperial physician and the Imperial Observatory, and they finally woke up Your Highness with great difficulty."

Murong Xuan imitated her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, his eyes gentle, and he said confidently: "Yes, my father-in-law will not cancel the engagement, Xiyue can bring prosperity to me again, so I will naturally be fine."

Shen Xiyue couldn't help but glare at him.
