Chapter 460 Falling down

The prince moved his heart and smiled on his face: "I will know what He Qi said. We are indeed a little bit of affair in front of us, and it is not impossible for you to behave like this."

"But... then again, these are not important matters, right?"

He looked at He Lingjiang with a smile and said, "The most urgent thing now is to find out the corruption case and give the people an explanation. Since this is the case, you and I will take a step back. How about not mentioning the past things?"

Yongmu couldn't help frowning when he heard this. The prince was thinking about trying to win over He Lingjiang?

It would be fine if the He family was said to be, but He Lingjiang ruined her good things with the Divine Palace many times, and the two of them were incompatible with water and fire.

She must have found a way to get rid of He Lingjiang.

But if the prince has the heart to use her, it will be tricky.

As soon as she wanted to speak, she heard He Lingjiang smile and said, "Abide by Your Highness's words."

"Your Highness should know that He Qi Wuji's intention to oppose you is to eliminate the remnants of the God Palace. There may be some inappropriate actions that will cause inconvenience to Your Highness. He Qi, thank you, Lord Your Highness for having a lot of it."

The prince smiled heartily when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Miss He Qi doesn't need to be polite. I will naturally know your difficulties. Please tell Mr. He to investigate the case with confidence. If something happens, I will be burdened with you!"

This is just a nice saying. If you really need to take responsibility, the prince will probably run faster than anyone else, but both sides will just see through it and not say it out loud.

He Lingjiang said a few more words to the prince before saying goodbye and leaving.

Yongmu looked at her distant figure, his eyes slightly deeper: "Brother, have you let He Lingjiang and the He family go like this?"

The prince sighed helplessly: "What if I don't let it go? Now that things have come to this point, my father has naturally decided that the impeachment and the songs were my deeds. Even if I rude away again, without tangible evidence, how could the father believe it?"

"What's more, this matter is good for us. Pulling He Lingjiang into the water at this time will be harmful and unprofitable for finding out the corruption case and dealing with King Duan."

"Since that's the case, I can only give up..."

"But..." Yongmu was dissatisfied. He Lingjiang made her break the Qingyi Tower's staff. Now she is plotting against them openly, so she can only recognize her?

The prince shook his head and sighed, "Yongmu, I am your brother after all. You didn't deal with He Lingjiang before, and you were embarrassed with her openly and secretly. Although I didn't understand the intention, I turned a blind eye and let you do it."

"Now, this corruption case is still in He Xiangshan's hands. He Lingjiang may hold some handle on Duan. Since you and I want to make it difficult for Duan to turn things around in one fell swoop, it's better not to target them."

"He Lingjiang came today to show his goodwill. Since that's the case, why don't we take advantage of the situation?"

He gently advised: "No matter what the past is, the past is over. You, now the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is the lonely compatriot sister, so why should you condescend and condescend to He Lingjiang, a young lady who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, care about it?"

Oh!

Yongmu sneered in his heart. She had never discovered before that the timid prince in the past was so sarcastic, but she underestimated him.

But he didn't even look at who was the prince's position who was becoming more and more stable?

Now that the wings are hard, the ambition and appetite are getting bigger. There are not enough people at present, and they are still trying to win over the He family, and even teach her a lesson in the imperial girl...

On the surface, she advised her not to argue with He Lingjiang, but in fact she deliberately warned her not to miss his great cause because of her own selfishness.

Sure enough...power is encouraging.

The prince who used to obey her will disappear gradually.

A cold light flashed in Yongmu's eyes, but she looked like she was thinking about the prince: "The emperor's words are reasonable, I shouldn't have been concerned about He Lingjiang."

"It's just that I thought that she first ruined her reputation because of the Linchuan case, but now she has caused heavy losses to Qingyilou. Your elder brother, you are also suspected and scolded by your father. I can't calm down..."

"Those who accomplish great things are not limited to minor matters." The prince waved his hand and said, "Cao Mengde, a hero of a generation, can still let go of his hatred and accept his son-killing enemies without grudges. What's the point of mentioning these things now?"

"I know that the Qingyi Tower is a force you have worked hard to develop before returning to the palace. Now that I am accidentally surrounded by someone from my father, I am naturally heartbroken. Don't worry, the emperor will compensate you in the future."

What he said was simple. How could he make up for the Qingyi Tower with some property and land production capacity?

I don’t have much ability, so I dare to compare myself with Cao Mengde.

Yongmu snorted coldly in his heart, but did not let the prince down: "Thank you, my brother."

Regardless of how the prince discussed with Yongmu and how angry the emperor was, He Xiangshan was in fact in accordance with the emperor's order and investigated the corruption case in detail.

With the evidence of corruption between Duan and Lei Wen, and using some methods, He Xiangshan and Chen Nie pried open Lei Wen's mouth.

Now, King Duan could no longer use the excuse of not knowing the truth to put himself aside from the corruption case.

By the end of September, the corruption that had been causing trouble for a long time and involved many people from the government and the country was finally settled.

A large number of officials were sent out, and those who were exiled were exiled.

As for King Duan, he completely confirmed the mastermind of the corruption case.

The prince understood that he had already made the emperor dissatisfied, so he took advantage of the victory and tried his best to make King Duan unable to turn over. He tried his best to get out of Prince Duan's Mansion, his mother's Zhao family and King Duan were all the shameful things in the past.

He killed slaves in private, bullied men and women, and embezzled and accepted bribes. The palace was full of glory and scattered in secret.

At this point, the government and the country were in an uproar.

If there are any shameful things in secret in which aristocratic family? But these things that may not have been mentioned in the past have become the last straw that will be crushed to death by King Duan at this stall.

Perhaps because he was completely disappointed with King Duan, the emperor did not show any mercy this time and directly seized his real power, and the households and rented the house to half. He ordered him to think about it behind closed doors for three years, copy scriptures every day, and atone for the innocent people who died in Shaoyang.

Anyone who is found to have committed crimes will be dealt with according to the law.

For a moment, King Duan dispersed his birds and beasts. His connections he had accumulated for many years, and his power was retracted by the emperor in one go.

King Duan wanted to make a big fuss, but in the end he gave up this idea. The current person is very suspicious, and no one can penetrate the imperial guards until now.

He is a prince who has no military power and is powerless.

But then again, after he stopped thinking, he could save his life.

From then on, King Duan became a free prince and a rich man. Concubine Zhao, who was very favored in the palace, was also ignored and no longer had the glory of the past.
