After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

In fact, what King Shanye did is common in every family. Which family doesn't have a few useless descendants? Can you be a royal noble if you are not absurd?

If you don't have to worry about food and livelihood, you should always find some fun, right?

Serious matters are boring, so he just loves to seek excitement. Prince Shanye just made the same mistake that many royal men would make. It just happened that he was caught by Shen Nanzhi as an example. This second fire will burn the royal family.

How can the world be won over if the royal family is not upright?

Shen Nanzhi has counted the current members of the royal family. There are five who have been given the title of prince. Together with the princes, princesses, and princesses, there are hundreds of families living in the capital.

With so many royal relatives, the annual salary they received was as high as millions of taels of silver, which made Shen Nanzhi feel distressed.

It is definitely not possible to target the entire royal family. The clan house protects the interests of the royal family and will not let Shen Nanzhi mess around. So let's kill a few blind people first. The more money we can save, the better.

As a result, King Shanye was caught in the crossfire and was implicated by his daughter.

After reading it, the virtuous king said, "These are just trivial matters. A few maids and concubines died. Please, princess, have mercy on me and just give me a warning."

It has always been said that princes are guilty of the same crime as common people. Shen Nanzhi was not surprised that the virtuous king could say such a thing, and changed the subject: "Do you think that so many royal relatives enjoy wealth and glory, but do nothing, will it be bad for the education of their descendants?

Over time, wealth and honor have eroded one's ambition, and the civil and military talents, bravery and wisdom of our ancestors have long been forgotten.

To be honest with you, there are so many people in the royal family, but only a few of them are up to the task. If this continues for a long time, the consequences will be worrying."

The wise king was also worried: "Didn't our ancestors conquer this country for the benefit of our descendants?

They are born rich and noble, that's their fate, there's nothing we can do about it if we're jealous of them, but what the princess said makes sense, the kids nowadays are really useless, the world can't be supported by the regent alone, just tell me what you think, I'll do my best to support you."

Shen Nanzhi said: "You are too polite, my Lord. I dare not get involved in this trouble. I am already very busy.

They are used to being idle, and if you force them to do anything, they will become noisy and it will not look good.

Let’s talk about this later. Let’s talk about King Shanye first. I mean to send him to his fiefdom and not to return to the capital without a summons.”

"To the fiefdom?"

"Yes, our founding ancestor once issued an imperial decree that all the royal descendants who were crowned as kings should return to their respective fiefdoms. The capital is such a small place, and it would be too crowded to support so many princes.

I didn't punish him, I just sent him to his fiefdom, which was already very lenient."

After moving to the fiefdom, they could save the salary of the Shanye Palace, which was 100,000 taels of silver a year. Shen Nanzhi felt distressed.

When they arrived at their fiefdom, they relied on local taxes for their livelihood, with the royal palace taking 30%. However, the local area was poor, so whether these 30% taxes could be enough for them to eat depended on their own abilities.

However, King Shanye's family is incompetent and useless. It is estimated that they are lucky to have enough food to eat, and they can forget about living a life of wealth, glory, and hordes of servants.

This is the method Shen Nanzhi came up with after thinking about it for several days. It's quite mean.

The virtuous king stroked his beard, and on the surface he seemed to be tolerant, but the fiefdom of the good king of Ye was in the south, thousands of miles away. At his age, he still had to travel by boat and carriage to go to his fiefdom. Wasn't it a bit inhumane?

Shen Nanzhi drank tea and let him think about it himself. The way had been given to him, so if he didn't take it, don't blame me for being cruel.

"I will think about this matter carefully and be cautious."

"Okay, think about it slowly. Prince Shanye is also the elder of our Qi Yunxu, so he will definitely not treat him harshly. I will give a heads up to the Imperial City Department, so don't worry."

"That's good. I'll take my leave now."

Shen Nanzhi personally saw him off. Both of them had their own thoughts and were planning for their own interests.

"Give orders not to use violence against King Shanye."

An Xin was dissatisfied: "Then why did we bring him here? Is it a waste of food?"

"You are too honest. Sometimes mental torture is more painful than physical torture. The Imperial City Department will use torture during the interrogation to open the eyes of King Shanye."

An Xin understood: "I'll arrange it right away. This old man is so disgusting. He tortures women when he can't do it himself. What the hell? Is there such a person in the royal family?"

"Apart from his royal status, he's just an old man."

"You're right, he's still a useless old man."

……

Duke Shen ran around everywhere, and Shen Nanzhi did not make things difficult for him. He even allowed him to meet Prince Shanye, but they were not allowed to meet in private.

Duke Shen saw that his father-in-law was not injured and was in good condition, so he trusted Shen Nanzhi in his heart and believed that she was very sensible in doing things.

He doesn't understand women. Shen Nanzhi knows her limits when it comes to big things, but if she's wronged, she'll definitely pay it back a hundredfold.

Princess Anguo owes me a life. She always says that she didn't do it herself, so she is innocent. But I didn't do it myself, so it has nothing to do with me.

Everyone is innocent, no one should feel wronged.

Princess Anguo came to the Regent's Mansion several times to look for someone, but was turned away every time. Shen Nanzhi didn't want to see a shrew go crazy. This was her home, not Princess Anguo's Mansion.

Princess Anguo was so angry that she died. No matter how Duke Shen tried to comfort her, she just didn't believe Shen Nanzhi. So, the person who understands you will always be your opponent.

Princess Anguo inquired about her whereabouts and finally blocked her at the palace gate. Shen Nanzhi was speechless. She had never seen anyone so eager to come and get a slap in the face.

"Why did the princess stop my sedan chair?"

Shen Nanzhi's nonchalant attitude made Princess Anguo resent her even more: "How dare you say that? If you have anything to say, come to me, why are you targeting my father?"

Shen Nanzhi: "If you ask that, then I'll ask you something too. Why did you deal with a newborn baby when you could have solved the conflict between you and Lord Shen yourself?

Isn't it the same principle? I will treat you the way you treat me. I learn from you.

Besides, your father is not innocent. You can go to any government office to file a complaint and let them investigate. As long as your father is innocent, I will go to his house in person to apologize to him.

I don't really understand what you're thinking. You know that you'll only get mad at me and be a nuisance, so why do you still want to see me?"

Princess Anguo hated her so much that she didn't answer her question. Instead, she asked her, "What do you want me to do to let my father go?"

"I refuse to answer this question. I am only discussing the matter at hand. I am not targeting you personally. If you insist on thinking that I am targeting you, then so be it. I am not a god and cannot change your mind."

Duke Shen arrived in time and pulled her away: "Don't make a fuss, save some dignity for yourself. I have already seen my father-in-law, he is very good, except that he can't go home, nothing is wrong, what do you want to do?"

Princess Anguo was extremely aggrieved: "What did I do? She has admitted that she targeted me. I will not be at ease until my father comes home. As a son-in-law, how can you be at ease to hand him over to his enemy?"

Duke Shen: "I believe in Nan Zhi's character. She is not the kind of person who would seek revenge for personal gain. If you are still so stubborn, I will not care about your family's affairs anymore."

"You wish you didn't care about me. Who asked you to care about me? Go away. I don't want to see you."

Shen Nanzhi added fuel to the fire: "Oh my, the once most enviable couple, a loving couple, turned against each other in the street, this scene is wonderful!"

Duke Shen waved his hand and said, "You should also say less."
