After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The prince has been in power for many years, and the power in his hands, ahem, the power in the open, is not small.

One is the Mansion of Duke Song, Duke Song is the prince’s maternal grandfather.

Although the prince did not have a close relationship with his maternal grandparents, the Duke of Song wholeheartedly supported his grandson, and from the perspective of political situation or relationships, he could not choose anyone else.

There is also the Minister of Personnel, who is a rare person who openly stands on the side of the prince while the emperor is still alive and will not be purged.

The Minister of Personnel, Baili Miao, was only thirty years old and was the youngest of the six ministers.

He is also the patriarch of the Baili family. When the Baili family was involved in a major case, it was the prince who stepped in and saved the Baili family.

The grace of saving his clan made Baili Miao express his stance early on and vow to support the prince until death.

The prince also valued him very much because Baili Miao had a straightforward character. At least during the years when he was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the number of people who could enter the officialdom through imperial favor was very strictly controlled, and was half of what it used to be.

Most people who enter officialdom still have to rely on their own talents.

However, these two people have deep roots, and without complete evidence, those people dare not touch them easily.

In the court, the censors mostly impeached minor officials related to the Eastern Palace, such as the Prince's Secretary and the Sheren.

They were impeached for their incompetence and inability to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace is now closed and cannot share in the affairs of state, which has caused criticism.

This memorial apparently impeached officials of the Eastern Palace, but in reality it impeached the Crown Prince for occupying the toilet without doing anything, and it was also impeached in front of the Emperor.

How could a sickly person become the crown prince or emperor? Wouldn't it be better to choose a crown prince as soon as possible?

The emperor could suppress such an impeachment, and the prince's men could also retaliate.

"Lord Wang, what you mean is that the Crown Prince, as the heir apparent, can't even take time to rest when sick?"

"I remember five years ago, Lord Wang returned home to mourn for his father. After the mourning period ended, he was reinstated. He spent three years in mourning without contributing to the country's worries. Shouldn't he die to atone for his sin?"

Lord Wang's face darkened. "Don't try to confuse me. I'm in mourning, fulfilling my filial duty. This is for the sake of the court and Your Majesty's compassion!"

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are rulers, and you should be sympathetic to the difficulties of your subjects! You are subjects, but you do not worry about your ruler's safety and are pressing us step by step. Your Majesty, you have ill intentions and are committing treason!"

Lord Wang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, he is slandering me. I just, just..."

He didn't come out for a long time.

Baili Miao continued to attack: "My colleagues, are you saying this because you think the prince's sword is not sharp enough?"

The court fell silent for a moment.

Everyone seemed to remember that when the crown prince was young, he personally killed the Sixth Prince and more than a hundred people from the Wen family who were behind the Sixth Prince.

It’s not that the prince committed murder. The mistakes made by the Sixth Prince and the Wen family back then... they did deserve to be killed. It’s just that the prince acted decisively and left no room for maneuver, which is what makes people afraid.

The impeachment against the Eastern Palace was thus settled, but the impeachment memorials against Fang Yin suddenly flooded in.

Fang Yin may be their real target.

Fang Yin is General Meng's apprentice. Although he is not a member of the prince's party, he is very close to the prince.

Therefore, it has become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of some people.

"The Crown Prince is seriously ill. It was Elder Zhou and Fang Nanzhi who failed to provide adequate treatment. They should be arrested and held accountable."

"This old minister suspects that the young general is abusing his power for personal gain. After subduing the surrendered general of the Southern Barbarians, he opened a wide door for him. Now he is a lieutenant general of the seventh rank. He is not of our race, so his heart must be different. The young general's behavior seems to be consolidating his own power and disregarding the intentions of the court."

"I have this account book here, which is evidence that Fang Yin is raising a private army under the guise of training."

The memorial was sent to the emperor, which recorded that Fang Yin had been using his own money to provide subsidies to old and disabled soldiers during this period, sending them back home, and some even settling them in the general's mansion.

"I suspect Fang Yin is transferring his troops..."

"Bullshit!" General Meng couldn't stand it anymore.

"Fang Yin is in the capital. You said he keeps private soldiers. Where can he keep them without being discovered by the people in Jingzhao Prefecture? Or do you think the people in Jingzhao Prefecture are just sitting around doing nothing?"

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture twitched his lips. What does it have to do with him?

"Your Majesty, Fang Yin has suffered since childhood. He has emerged from this hardship and is a true grassroots general. He has a pure heart and only provides subsidies privately because he feels sorry for those who are old and can no longer wield weapons or are disabled and can no longer fight."

"The military has detailed records of those who left the camp, including when they were injured, the severity of their injuries, and where they went. You can go and check them out instead of just gossiping about this one-sided information."

Meng Yi was furious, but also frank.

As early as when his apprentice was doing these things, he reminded him that he could have good intentions but should not let this get in the way, so everything was recorded clearly and he was not afraid of being checked at all.

Fang Yin knelt down, his eyes reddened. "Your Majesty, I am truly heartbroken to have my loyalty slandered like this. Please, Your Majesty, give me justice."

The emperor sighed and said, "My dear, please stand up. I have always trusted you."

But in my heart, I still miss the first time I met Fang Yin. At that time, he really said whatever he wanted to say. But now he has become slippery and tears come without warning. I don’t know who learned this from?

At the edge of the field, Fang Tong, facing the loess and with his back to the sky, sneezed violently.

Who misses him?

He squatted down, quickly and accurately caught a dragonfly, broke its wings, strung it together on a small wooden stick, and prepared to take it back for the children to eat.

I don’t lack this little bit of meat now, but it doesn’t affect my craving for it.

In the court, the emperor made his final decision on the matter with just one sentence.

But the impeachment of Fang Yin is far from over.

"I've been looking through the archives and find the case of the capture of the Small Nanman King's City quite bizarre. I heard that the soldiers who captured the city went upstairs while the Nanman soldiers were still asleep. I believe Fang Yin used witchcraft! Witchcraft is a forbidden technique of the imperial court!"

An old man from the Ministry of War spoke up.

As soon as the witchcraft came out, everyone started talking about it.

No one knew whether witchcraft was true or not, but both the harem and the court firmly resisted it.

There is no way. No one understands witchcraft and no one wants to encounter sudden disaster.

"Master Fang, do you have anything to say?"

"I believe this matter should be thoroughly investigated. If witchcraft is used in the palace, the consequences will be disastrous. Fang Nanzhi entered the palace as a doctor to save the prince, but the prince's condition has clearly worsened... I believe..."

Hearing that their words were getting more and more outrageous, Fang Yin quickly interrupted them.

If you want to impeach him, then impeach him. Why do you always have to nitpick about his niece?

Ultimately, he still wants to involve the Eastern Palace.

"According to your Excellency, any doctor who can't cure a disease is breaking the law and should be arrested?"

The man didn't dare to respond. It was too overbearing to arrest someone if he couldn't cure the disease. Would any doctor in the world dare to save people?

"Fang Nanzhi was treating the Crown Prince..."

"My niece and Mr. Zhou are both civilian doctors. Besides, all the imperial doctors were present when the poison was removed. Did any of them say that the treatment made the prince worse?"

Fang Yin asked back.

If the imperial physician fails to cure the noble, he will be punished, because they are the ones who make a living from the royal family.

Ordinary doctors don't eat royal food.
