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

"Your Majesty, Li Guoyong of the Ministry of Justice has a reputation for being impartial and impartial. The case of the great prince involves many people. If he leads the team in this house search, it will definitely ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Lord Jiang took the risk this time and promoted the most talented person regardless of his relationship with him.

Li Guoyong and Jiang Min's family are related by marriage. Although it is not a direct lineage marriage, he is currently the only official he can directly recommend and who is serving in the Ministry of Justice.

The emperor still had some impression of Li Guoyong. He had served him on missions there several times before and he did a good job.

He did not reject Jiang Min's suggestion. He nodded in agreement and assigned a few of the emperor's trusted men to carry it out.

The other ministers didn't want to be involved in this case, so they didn't say anything and just stood aside and watched the fun.

He acted as if he had nothing to do with the matter.

Zeng Yunzhou and Jiang Wen cannot do that because their family members are involved, so they must be proactive and try to let the emperor see their loyalty.

Not long after, the Emperor issued an imperial decree to confiscate the eldest prince's property.

Everyone: A lot of princes have been lost this year, it's even more intense than when the new emperor was enthroned!

First, the twelfth prince was attacked and disappeared, and later the fourth prince's mansion was raided. The fourth prince and the ninth prince are still in jail. Now it's the eldest prince's turn?

who is the next?

The princes have become a high-risk group!

The remaining few princes who were not very well-behaved in the past were also trembling with fear. They kept their tails between their legs and stayed obediently in the mansion, not daring to go out again.

I’m afraid of attracting the emperor’s attention!

The Grand Prince's mansion was raided directly, and all the people inside were taken to the prison, and no one was allowed to visit them.

This had never happened before. In the past, not all family members of a convicted official would be imprisoned. At least some innocent women and children could be taken back to their parents' home after divorcing the convicted official with the help of their parents' families.

The princes are all descendants of the emperor. Even if they commit crimes, they are only fined and have some money confiscated.

There is only one exception, and that is treason!

All the princesses and concubines of high rank, concubines and beauties, and even servants in the prince's mansion were thrown into prison.

how so?

Of course, it was said in the letter from Prince Dongshan that a steward in the Grand Prince's Mansion could directly lead troops to cause chaos, so who in the palace knew which servant could mobilize a private army?

It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go, which is the interpretation of the crime of treason.

Anyone who has even a hint of treason will die a miserable death, so no one in the Grand Prince's Palace will have a chance of coming out alive.

There must be some injustice here, but that's how it is in this dynasty. Not only are they unlucky, but their families also have to suffer the consequences.

In the past, anyone who was close to the prince would be implicated.

The crime of treason is punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan. Fortunately, the prince is a member of the royal family, and with the clan affairs office under pressure from the Ministry of Justice, the situation can be contained a lot. However, many people will be affected.

Every piece of paper with words on it in the study of the Grand Prince's mansion was kept in a wooden box, which was not only locked from the outside but also sealed.

One of the papers here might be important evidence or intelligence.

Losing one, or even half a card, could result in the loss of one's head, so the officers and soldiers in the copying study were on high alert.

The walls and floors of the study had been searched inch by inch, so you couldn't even imagine finding a few secret compartments.

There were letters, keepsakes, land deeds, house deeds, and banknotes...

In total, more than a dozen boxes were sealed.

Li Guoyong looked through some letters and secretly wrote down some useful clues. He would find a chance to tell Jiang Min after returning. Only if General Chen was acquitted as soon as possible could they gain a firm foothold in the court.

The power of the aristocratic families in the court is ever-changing. If they really lose General Chen, they will most likely be severely suppressed by other families.

If you are not careful, you may lose your position and make way for a more powerful family.

Every carrot has its own hole, and no one wants to be the carrot that is pulled out.

The letters copied from the eldest prince's study were sent to the imperial study, and the emperor's veins popped out when he read them!

In a rage, he immediately ordered the raid on the Ninth Prince's Palace!

The Ninth Prince's Palace, which was originally confined, was still waiting for a turn for the better. A turn for the better did appear, but unfortunately it was the result they feared the most - an imperial decree to directly confiscate the funds!

For a while, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was in chaos.

When the Ninth Prince heard that his elder brother had also been imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, he collapsed to the ground.

He knew it was over! It was all over!

The last bit of hope was gone, and he burst into tears!

Now he regrets it. If he hadn't committed suicide, he would still be the Ninth Prince!

Now he has nothing left, and even his son may not survive.

Since he was a child, he was indoctrinated by his elder brother to help him sit on the high dragon throne, and then he would be the most honorable prince in the world.

Never be bullied by others again.

My eldest brother has a gold mine. If they had not rebelled, even if they were not the most honorable prince now, they would definitely be the richest prince!

Why bother?

What's good about that position?

Look at the emperor, he gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs every day, and the treasury is so poor that it can run horses!

The clothes he wears are all old ones, except for the patched dragon robe!

What is there to envy? How are we better than them?

But the eldest brother insisted on sitting in that position, and their mother taught them from a young age that they should fight for everything, otherwise they would be useless.

Since he was a child, he was sent by the eldest brother to be with the fourth brother and be his follower.

It was obvious that the fourth brother was so stupid and he didn't like him at all, but he could only try to please him and flatter him every day, and also clean up the stupid things he did.

He's so fed up!

However, his eldest brother gave him a lot of gold, allowing him to spend it freely.

He tasted money for the first time!

It's funny that although he was a prince, he didn't have much spare money, so he had always lived a tight and frugal life.

Only after he had the gold given by his elder brother did he know what a good life was!

What you want is what you want!

Buy what you like!

He felt that his current life was better than the emperor's, and he advised his elder brother to stop. As a result, his elder brother cut off his gold, and he could not bear the life without money.

We could obviously live without that gold in the past, so why is it not possible now?

He forgot that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance

He can't get used to living without money.

He had no choice but to admit his mistake to his eldest brother and continue to help him with his plans.

However, he never dared to say it because he felt his elder brother would never succeed because he was too fat.

Have you ever seen an emperor who is so fat that he has difficulty walking?

What’s more, my eldest brother has no children yet!

The eldest brother always blames women for not having children, but he thinks it might be his fault.

Otherwise, with so many women in the eldest brother's backyard, how come none of them can give birth?
