Not long after Jing Jingyan entered the palace, a decree was issued to take back King An's original fiefdom and then transfer it to Jiangbei Mansion. He was also ordered to set off for Jiangbei Mansion that day without any delay.
Jiangbei Prefecture, located in the northernmost part of the Northern Tang Dynasty, borders Heizhou of Daxing State. The temperature is very low, the folk customs are strong, backward and poor. It cannot pay taxes every year and has to be supported by the imperial court.
There is a garrison in Jiangbei Prefecture, and the general who has just been transferred there is the King of Wei. He leads 30,000 troops to guard the border.
Emperor Ming Yuan's move disintegrated all the forces in Huaibei, the original fiefdom of King An, and even suppressed all the forces in Beijing.
However, his move was also to protect Prince An's life, because once Yu Wenhao returned to Beijing, Yu Wenhao would never let him go due to his deep love for Yuan Qingling.
Of course, it can also be understood as protecting the reputation of the prince, because once his brother is killed, the prince will be stained.
Whether it was to protect the prince or to protect Prince An, Emperor Ming Yuan's move was inevitable.
However, King Sun and King Qi were both unconvinced. The two brothers went into the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Ming Yuan, but Emperor Ming Yuan did not see them at all and ordered Eunuch Mu Ru to send him away.
Gu Si led the imperial army to keep an eye on King An, making sure he left the capital immediately.
After hearing the decree, King An laughed wildly three times, "Holy Lord!"
His eyes were sinister and furious, but he did not get angry at Gu Si and only ordered people to pack their bags.
Princess An was injured and he insisted on taking her away.
The couple, traveling with several cars and a group of domestic servants, left the imperial city at sunset.
King An sat on the carriage, opened the curtain and looked back at the city gate, his eyes were cold, he will come back, for sure!
After King An left, Di Weiming's official position was reduced, and many members of the Di family were controlled and investigated by the Jingzhao Mansion.
Although Di Weiming was not imprisoned, he was invited to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning.
Emperor Ming Yuan didn't seem to intend to find out anything. He just asked people to ask questions and recorded what they asked, but he couldn't let people go.
Concubine Di knelt at the door of the imperial study room and cried for a long time, shouting hoarsely.
Concubine Di has been in poor health in the past few months. After kneeling for half an hour, she was on the verge of collapse. The imperial concubine couldn't bear to see her. She asked someone to help her up and said: "Concubine, please go back. The emperor will naturally forgive the Di family after he has calmed down."
Concubine Di shook off Concubine Huang's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't let the cat cry over the mouse. My son has never done anything like that."
The imperial concubine said: "Since the noble concubine believes that he has not done anything, she should also believe that the emperor will investigate clearly."
Concubine Di was filled with grief and anger. She cried into the royal study, "Your Majesty, he is your biological son. Don't you know what his nature is? How could he be so cruel and cruel and hurt the Crown Princess even though he knew she was pregnant? All of this is
It’s unjust!”
There was no answer from the imperial study room, but after a while, Eunuch Mu Ru came out, first invited the imperial concubine in, and then lowered his voice and said to Concubine Di: "Your Majesty, please come back. The emperor's move is also to protect His Highness Prince An, otherwise the prince will return
Jing, can you spare Prince An?"
Concubine Di said angrily: "Why should he? Just rely on him to fight the war? The fourth child has also made meritorious service to the country. Without any evidence, what can he do? Can he still kill people?"
Hearing this hysterical voice, Eunuch Mu Ru frowned slightly and said, "Would you kill someone, my dear concubine, what do you think? Are you willing to take this risk?"
Concubine Di paused for a moment, her face still darkening with reluctance, "He has to be unreasonable, the fourth child will not treat the Crown Princess like this."
"Then wait until the Crown Princess wakes up, and everything will become clear."
