When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

He has been here for such a long time, but the Fourth Prince has not come out yet. That’s great!

This is simply not taking the emperor seriously!

The eunuch saw the emperor's ugly face and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, please spare me. It is my fault that I failed to do my job well. I will immediately have these things moved away. There will definitely not be anything that will disturb the Fourth Prince from reflecting on his mistakes."

The emperor didn't say anything, but just snorted. The eunuch immediately ordered people to remove all the things that were an eyesore to the emperor.

Then take away everything that can be taken away from the courtyard outside, otherwise the emperor will be angry when he comes out and sees it.

When the Fourth Prince finally arrived, his courtyard and front hall had been greatly changed; even the jade decorations on the walls had been removed.

When he entered the house, he found that the rare treasures in the Treasure Pavilion were empty, the famous paintings and calligraphy were also gone, and the walls were bare.

The vases and porcelain at the door were also gone.

Was his house raided?

The fourth prince snorted and laughed: "Why, is my royal brother here to confiscate our property in person?" He sat down near the door.

The emperor had been staring at him since he came in. Seeing that he didn't even pretend, he didn't even perform greetings when he saw the emperor and just sat down so openly.

Such disrespect! He really has someone to rely on.

The emperor stood up, walked in front of the fourth prince, and looked down at him:

"Don't you really know how much your yard exceeds the regulations?" He was still pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

Hearing the emperor mention this, the fourth prince said nonchalantly:

"These were all given to me by my father, the Emperor. As his son, I cannot be disobedient." Looking at the Emperor with provocative eyes, can you still say that your father is wrong?

At this point, the Fourth Prince still wants to use the late emperor to put pressure on others, and the one he is putting pressure on is the current emperor.

The emperor raised the corner of his mouth, bent down and leaned close to the fourth prince's ear to remind him:

"But the emperor has already invited you to the palace. If you still want to listen to him, I can give you a ride. How about that?"

The fourth prince looked at the emperor's grim expression and felt a little panicked.

But he still said firmly: "How dare you! What right do you have for no reason? The officials in the court will not allow you to do whatever you want."

His father-in-law's family will protect him, but the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, he felt more confident.

The emperor glanced at him sideways with a cold look and said:

"With your extravagant and debauched life, do I need to tell you that there is evidence all over the yard?

I have heard that the fountain in your house looks beautiful in the sun, and that water keeps gushing out day and night.

I saw today that what you said was not true. Your house was brightly lit at night, and this fountain was even more dazzling!

There is no sun at night, but you still created one. You are really capable! A night-shining pearl as big as a head! What? Do you still want two suns in the sky?

Ah! And your exotic flowers and plants, can you tell me where you got those flowers with transparent leaves under the light?

Do you want me to take them to see at noon tomorrow to see if this legendary flower is the same as the national flower of our old enemy?

"Hmm?!" The emperor asked the last word with a nasal tone, which was full of oppression.

The Fourth Prince did not expect that the Emperor knew so much about the situation in his mansion. It was obvious that he had not just found out about it, but must have known about it a long time ago and had been keeping it secret until today.

The fourth prince squinted his eyes at his angry brother and asked disdainfully:

"Anything else? Don't hold it in. Just say it all at once." He wasn't afraid at all.

The emperor was not polite and continued to expose the fourth prince's past:

"I have heard that the pavilion in your palace has a golden roof. I didn't believe it at first, but I saw it just now when I passed by. It is indeed golden. I guess it is more dazzling than the roof of my palace during the day.

You really don't hide anything at all, what do you want to do?"

The Fourth Prince is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. It makes no difference whether one building is not in compliance with the rules or several, as they all violate the ancestral rules anyway.

The fourth prince said unconvincedly, "So what? These things are not new, why didn't you tell me before? Now you want to punish me based on this violation of the rules, doesn't it seem like it's not enough?"

The emperor smiled coldly:

"Then considering you colluded with the Border Town Army and had evil intentions! You secretly mined gold and raised private soldiers, plus these, are they enough?" The last sentence was very loud.

The emperor's words were like a bolt of lightning that penetrated the Fourth Prince's defenses. He stood up suddenly and said in a trembling voice:

"You're talking nonsense!" His tone was obviously not strong enough and showed his cowardice.

His eyes trembled and he dared not look directly into the emperor's eyes. His evasive look made the emperor feel cold in his heart. It was indeed him!

The emperor came to trick him today, and now he has the answer.

The emperor sneered a few times, his voice was even colder and more frightening:

"I've let you go so many times, but you still don't repent. Do you think I really don't know that it was you who killed the King of Dongshan? Do you think you can do whatever you want?

What do you want to do? Do you want to sit in my seat?

Even if I give the throne to you, will you be a good emperor?

Do you know how to govern this country that has been torn apart by your father? Do you know how difficult it is to ensure that the people do not starve to death when the treasury is empty?

Do you know how much it costs every year to maintain the normal operation of the army?

What do you know? What do you know besides eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying a luxurious life? "

The Fourth Prince was panicked for a while after being bombarded with a barrage of questions from the Emperor. Then he jumped up again from the chair he was sitting on.

He pointed at the emperor and shouted:

"I don't know what happened. If I don't know, I can't be the emperor? My father had clearly promised me a long time ago. He said that I would be the emperor, but he changed his mind before he died! Why? The emperor's words are final! How can he change his mind just like that?"

The emperor looked at him pitifully:

"Do you think you can do whatever you want as an emperor? Do you think the ancestral etiquette is just for show? You took his words to comfort the child seriously. If he really wanted you to be emperor, why didn't he teach you how to govern the country, but only taught you how to have fun?"

The fourth prince panted angrily: "You...I...I don't like to learn those things..." His words were obviously not confident enough.

The emperor looked down upon him and said: "If you don't like to learn how to govern a country, what kind of emperor are you?" His ability did not match his ambition, and he only knew how to be ruthless and forceful.

The Fourth Prince was speechless, but he was still very unconvinced in his heart. He glared at the Emperor fiercely.

The emperor looked down on him and walked out.

This idiot, it turned out to be him!

The emperor stood in the courtyard and said to the eunuch, "Summon the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple to see you immediately." Summoning him overnight was a signal that something unusual was happening.

The emperor threw the fourth prince into prison that night and did not allow him any special care.
