"Mother, are you letting them go so easily?"

Shen Liyang said as he stood at the door.

"Then you want to keep them at home?" Zhu Huiru said snappily: "Can you beat that Su Zongwen? He has been to the battlefield and killed many people! "

"But … but what about the matter of the silver?" Shen Liyang lowered his head, a little guilty.

"What else can we do? I can only think of another way. " When Zhu Huiru saw Shen Liyang, he was instantly angered and pointed at him, scolding: "Tell me about yourself, what are you learning from others that is bad, and why do you have to learn gambling! I think you'll only be happy if you really anger me to death! "

After Zhu Huiru scolded her, he took the silver and returned to his room, leaving Shen Liyang at the same place.

Ten days later, a storm broke in the imperial court. Officials from all over the country were ousted, beheaded, and jailed. Dozens of them were executed, causing the emperor to be furious.

That day, Ming Jiling's words caused a huge uproar within the imperial court.

"Royal Father, this son has a plan."

Ming Jiling walked out of the group and bowed towards Ming Chengjun who was on the Dragon Throne, "After many days of investigation by my son, I have now found out that the county magistrate, Li Chu, as well as the other county magistrate, have acted unrighteously. They have often embezzled money and bribes, and have secretly raised taxes to bully the citizens …"

"This is the evidence that I gathered over the past few days. I hope Royal Father can take a look at the evidence of their corruption."

Ming Jiling presented the evidence, and Eunuch Chen immediately walked down and took it.

"How preposterous!" Ming Chengjun flipped through the account book in his hand, the more he looked at it, the angrier he got, and he slammed the account book on the hand, "These people simply do not put the law in their eyes! This time, we will definitely punish them heavily! "

"These corrupt people have all been sent to prison. They will be executed three days later. The local government officials are guilty of misdisciplining their subordinates. If their subordinates were to do such a thing, they should be punished."

Ming Chengjun said coldly.

On that day, those on the list were executed as soon as possible, and those who were not on duty were dismissed. There were also some people who had helped to cover up the suspects, all of whom were imprisoned and handed over to the justice courts for investigation.

"Our Emperor is wise."

Seeing Ming Chengjun so angry, the officials did not dare say a word and only paid their respects.

"Leave this matter to the Supreme Court. Prince Su will help supervise it from the side."

After Ming Chengjun finished his instructions, he went down to the imperial court filled with anger.

"Your son/subject accepts the decree." Ming Jiling and Qin Song both accepted the decree to thank them.

"Retreat —" Eunuch Chen screamed.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Under the respectful greetings, Ming Chengjun walked down the dragon throne with a gloomy face.

This time, the majority of the officials involved had deep ties with the crown prince, and the emperor had handed over all of this authority to the justice courts. He had even asked Prince Su to help from the side, and the officials of the imperial court could not help but discuss this amongst themselves.

The direction of the wind was very clear, with the Prince Su Holy Pet on his body and the successive achievements that he had achieved, it was very pleasing to the emperor, but the crown prince's feathers were continuously being removed. Although he was still living in the Eastern Palace, it was unknown when this position would be given away …

Seeing the forces that he had raised up being eliminated, Ming Jize was so angry that his face turned green, and he immediately rushed towards the Ning Palace.

"Ze'er? What's wrong with you? Who made you angry? "

The moment Ming Jize entered the Palace Empress she noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked curiously.

The news of what happened today in the imperial court had yet to spread to the imperial harem, and since Prince Su was secretly investigating, the Empress did not know what happened in the imperial court today. She only thought that Ming Jize and someone else had a grudge.

"Muhou, you don't know this, but the Royal Father is furious today. They have given orders to terminate dozens of local officials, and many have been imprisoned for trial." Ming Jize slammed the table heavily, "Most of them are our people."

Ming Jize frowned slightly. Recalling the rumors he had heard, he suddenly felt uneasy, and asked with concern: "Does Royal Father want to cripple this son's position as crown prince?"

"Don't talk nonsense." The empress frowned and quickly consoled him, "Ze'er, your Royal Father's actions might not be aimed at you, don't think too much about it. You have been in the Eastern Palace for so many years, as long as you are careful and don't get caught in any serious trouble, your Royal Father will definitely not cripple you."

"Imperial Mother, you haven't heard the rumors outside, right now the people are all supporting the Prince Su, accusing me of being useless and unworthy of the position of Crown Prince." Ming Jize clenched his hands into fists on the table.

"If they want to talk, then go ahead. You just have to do your own thing well. After this is over, remember to remind your subordinates to be more careful in the future. Don't be too flamboyant." The Queen kindly advised for a long time before Ming Jize could calm down.

"Mama Lin, go and get the chicken soup that I prepared. The crown prince has worked hard these days and needs to properly replenish his body." Seeing that Ming Jize's emotions had calmed down, the Queen ordered the Mama beside to wait upon him.

"Yes, Noble Consort." Mama Lin agreed and quickly brought the things into the house.

"Come, Ze'er, this is a soup I specially ordered someone to make for you. I see that you have become skinnier recently. Eat more and replenish your energy." The empress personally served him a bowl of soup, then picked up a few large pieces of meat and placed them in the bowl.

"Thank you, Imperial Mother." Ming Jize took the bowl, and looked at the chicken soup his mother had meticulously prepared, and was extremely happy in his heart.

"The crown prince and I still have something to say. Mama Lin, go and guard outside the door first. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter." The Queen turned her head and ordered the Mama behind her.

"Yes, this old servant understands." Mama Lin responded and went out.

"Muhou, you look so mysterious. Could it be that you have something urgent to tell me?" Ming Jize drank his chicken soup and asked casually.

The empress nodded with a smile. "There's indeed something urgent, and it's a great thing."

"Good news?" "What good thing?" Hearing that was a good thing, Ming Jize's eyes immediately lit up.

"Your Royal Father's birthday is coming up in a short while. The envoys from the various countries are already on their way to the capital. Your grandfather sent a letter to me last night saying that it's to celebrate our birthday. The Queen explained.

"It doesn't matter if Princess Qi Kingdom comes or not. What's so good about that?" Ming Jize replied without even thinking, and continued to drink the soup with his head down.

"Whether she comes to congratulate us has nothing to do with us, but according to your grandfather, the reason why the Princess of Qi Kingdom came here this time is to reconcile with us, and if that's really the case, then this matter is greatly related to us." The Queen laughed.

"Marriage? Is this true? " After hearing the Empress's explanation, Ming Jize's face suddenly changed.

"Your grandfather said so, how could it be false?" The empress laughed. According to her parents' family, the news they received was unquestionable.

"Ze'er, this is an excellent opportunity. Although the Prince Su doesn't discuss marriage between us, you are older than the Prince Su and you are the crown prince. You have a very high status and can be said to be the best candidate for marriage!"

"Once you marry Princess Qi Kingdom, then you will have an even stronger backing, and your position as crown prince will no longer be shaken."

Although the Qi Kingdom was not as vast as the territory of the Liang Kingdom, it was still a prosperous land with strong troops and strong horses. In the battle against the Liang Kingdom back then, however, it was abnormally intense, so there was no doubt about the strength of the Qi Kingdom.

"Mother is right, if I have Qi Kingdom as my backing, I will definitely be able to sit in my place as the crown prince."

Ming Jize could not hide the joy on his face, and immediately started to plan.

As long as he could successfully marry the Princess of Qi Kingdom, no matter how capable Ming Jiling was, what could he do?

"Prepare well in the next few days. When you find a way to enter the eyes of Princess Qi Kingdom, this matter will be much easier to handle." the Queen warned.

The little princess of Qi Kingdom was favored by the Qi Kingdom Emperor the most. Once Ming Jize marries her, it was as if the entire Qi Kingdom was in his hands.

"Your son understands. If mother has no other matters, your son shall take his leave first."

"You finish your soup first." The Queen shook her head helplessly and smiled.

"Your son shall take his leave." Ming Jize finished the chicken soup quickly and left with a beaming smile.
