After thoroughly investigating the problem of abnormally high prices in the capital, the emperor immediately sent people to arrest all the people involved in this incident.

This matter is widely implicated, at the beginning, it was due to Wei Xiang's careful design, but later it was those people who took the lead, lest they would suffer if they didn't follow the trend. At first, some people were hindered by the legal system and did not dare to follow the trend at will, but later when more and more people joined in, they had the idea that the law does not hold the public accountable, which is why this incident was brewed to such a serious level.

And at this moment, the emperor gave an order, and almost everyone in the elite circle in the capital was in danger. There are not many people who are not involved.

Among those who were arrested, there were also those who followed the crown princess to buy rice for disaster relief. When the crown prince saw the list of these people, he made one of his suggestions to the emperor. But those who have bought rice for disaster relief can redeem their merits. In other words, anyone who has participated in the rice bazaar organized by the crown princess may be pardoned.

Knowing the news, those powerful families were deeply grateful for the prince's help, and the people who had followed Wei Xiang to attack the prince turned their guns at this moment and began to write to plead their feelings, thinking that they had always been threatened and lured by Wei Xiang, so they followed him to do nonsense.

And the emperor, seeing that the crown prince not only turned the tide and solved the crisis in the capital. And he also got rid of Wei's restraint on him. So another order was given. But those who participated in the purchase of rice for disaster relief can be pardoned and acquitted as long as they give a few taels of silver.

With this news, of course, those powerful families who could be exonerated handed over the silver taels to the treasury as soon as possible. So, in the hands of the emperor. And a lot of money.

Seeing so many taels of silver handed over, the emperor didn't have much joy. The incident of abnormally high prices in the capital looks on the bright side. It was a game carefully set up by Wei Xiang in order to attack the crown prince. In fact, what the emperor saw was the hearts of those powerful people in the capital.

No one really cares about the safety of the capital, and no one really cares about the suffering of the people. It's all in their own interests, and it's all opportunistic investments. Such a minister, such a magnate. What is the use of him? If this matter really makes Wei Xiang succeed, then the crown prince will certainly step down, but the entire capital will definitely fall into chaos. Until that time. The country will not be a country. What if those people are filled with their own pockets?

He didn't think that Wei Xiang had a way to control this mess, because he was the one who started the whole thing. Moreover, he is also the most deceived by power.

Before, the Wei family did make a lot of contributions for the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Wei family even entered the palace as a concubine. However, with the power in the hands of Wei Xiang, it grew. Merriam-Webster's greed is also growing. Gradually, ordinary gold and silver goods could no longer satisfy Merriam-Webster's greed. Since Concubine Wei gave birth to her son Tiankang. Merriam-Webster's ambitions swelled day by day.

The decline of the prince's mother family and the previous queen's suspicion of the prince gave them hope. As a result, the attacks on the crown prince can almost be said to be round after round. For these, the emperor saw it in his eyes, and even watched coldly, he wanted to use their means to polish the prince, to see if the prince could survive without his help and assistance. Every time before the result, the prince was

There was no danger in passing the level.

This time, it can be said that it is the biggest and most vicious scheme designed by Wei Xiang. It can be said that if the crown prince is not able to pass smoothly, the consequences will be unbelievable. And, fortunately, the god of fate seems to have always stood by the prince's side, and the prince won the battle again.

"Father, are you tired? Isn't it time for the child to come? There was a crisp child's voice ringing in the emperor's ears.

The emperor came back to his senses from his melancholy and anger: "Tiankang, why did you come here? ”

The fifth prince glanced at the emperor, a little timid, and finally had the courage to ask his question: "Father, you said yesterday that you would come to Ning Concubine Niangniang to play chess with me, the child has been waiting since class, but until now, I haven't seen my father, is my father busy with government affairs, too tired?" So, the child decided to come and see you. ”

Looking at the delicate and weak young man in front of him, the emperor thought of Concubine Wei who was locked up in the cold palace, and also remembered Wei Xiang, who was now imprisoned by him. I couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in my heart. However, the child is innocent, and the fifth prince has the blood of the Wei family, which is also his own bloodline. As a conceited emperor, he still didn't want to be angry with others, especially the young man in front of him who had always been his favorite.

"Your father has indeed been a little busy these days, but today he is so busy that he forgot the agreement he made with us Kang'er yesterday. But you don't joke, my father will go to play chess with you! ”

Xia Kang's face showed a look of relief. This child still doesn't know how to hide his emotions and thoughts. The emperor couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw it. He stepped forward and touched his head and said, "Let's go!" Don't be afraid, don't forget that your surname is always Xia! ”

Although Xia Kang was only an eight or nine-year-old child, he was far more intelligent than children of the same age, and when he heard the emperor say this, his anxious mood seemed to relax all of a sudden, and a light smile finally appeared on his face.

Before, he was beside the original Liu Guiren and now Ning Concubine, and heard the little chamberlain there whispering, saying that the emperor was investigating the Wei family, and Concubine Wei's mother family might fall completely this time, and this fifth prince, who has always been favored by the emperor, may never have the emperor's blue eyes again, and maybe he will be belittled. So he began to feel uneasy, and this uneasiness came to a head after the emperor never came to fulfill his promise yesterday. Out of an existential crisis and an instinct to survive, he mustered up the courage to come to the Zhengde Hall of the Emperor's director.

With the Emperor's personal promise, Xia Kang relied on the Emperor more than ever. He knew that if he wanted to grow up safely and soundly, his biggest dependence was on this father who imprisoned his mother and concubine and looked very ruthless.

"What, the Wei family has been confiscated by the emperor?" In the cold palace, Concubine Wei's originally excited expression suddenly turned pale. "No, no, it won't! Daddy handed me a letter a few days ago, saying that as long as I get through these few days, I can see the light of day again! Why? Why is that? I don't believe it, it must be fake! You lied to me! Looking at the fat mama in front of her, Concubine Wei looked crazy.

The grandmother looked at Concubine Wei's eyes with a cold face: "Does Niang Niang think it is necessary for the slave maid to come over and deceive you of a person who has completely lost power?" If Wei Xiang succeeds, I am afraid that at this moment, Niangniang has already bathed in fragrant soup and washed away all the bad luck. How is it possible that until now, the palace is still so stable? ”

Concubine Wei only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she almost fell down alone. These Diao slaves in the palace, with their flattering faces, she is of course the most familiar with them. (To be continued.) )
