"Brother, this is because my brother and I failed to discipline the Queen. Now that we are all in prison, I am afraid that the Queen will not have a good ending either.

But you have always been working for the emperor and have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. If you were to die like this, would you be willing?

Or you can beg the emperor. After all, he is his uncle and you have never done anything bad. The emperor will definitely let you go.

As long as you are alive, our Tong family will one day stand up again. As for my younger brother, he has no face to see my father and mother anymore."

After Tong Guowei finished speaking, he wanted to commit suicide by banging his head against the wall, but was stopped by Tong Guogang.

Although he was wrong, he was his own brother. No matter how much he hated him, he couldn't bear to see him commit suicide.

However, what Tong Jia did was indeed excessive. Even if he had made contributions, it would have been impossible for him to save so many people.

"Don't say anything, second brother. Everything is determined by fate. No matter what the emperor decides, we must not harbor resentment. It's not easy for the emperor.

Although he has been the emperor and the one in power in these years, that position is not easy to hold. If he doesn't deal with us, how can others obey him?

He is my sister's only son. If our death can clear his name, I am willing to do so."

Tong Guogang's tone was a little heavy. He didn't want to die either. He still had a lot of ambitions that had not been realized. How could he be willing to die like this?

But he really felt sorry for his nephew Kangxi and naturally didn't want to make things difficult for him.

It's just death. It's worth living for so many years. I just feel guilty towards my wife and grandchildren. It's him who has implicated them.

Mrs. Tong no longer quarreled with Madam Tong. She and Tong Guogang were deeply in love and understood what she meant.

"Don't be afraid, Master. We will go to the underworld together as a family and continue our relationship in the next life."

"good."

Tong Guowei had tears in his eyes. He was the one who ruined the entire Tong family.

When Madam Tong saw that the situation was not improving, she fainted. She didn't want to die. She still wanted to be the empress's mother and the new emperor's grandmother. She didn't want to die!

After learning about what happened in the prison cell, Kangxi sighed. His uncle was indeed loyal to him and would protect his face even if it meant death.

Well, since my uncle is so devoted to me, I can’t let him down.

"Duke Tong's lineage has never been involved in the affairs of the Tonggiya clan, and I am not a heartless person who would kill innocent people. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped, so I will exile you to Shengjing.

As for Tong Guowei's lineage, although they were not directly involved, they knew about this matter. Even if I wanted to give them a lighter sentence, I would not be able to do so."

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"Forget it. I have no blood relationship with them. Since they knew about this and allowed Tong Jia's behavior, they should pay the price for it.

Come, pass the order down. Tong Guogang and his wife must be beheaded in public, and the rest of them must be exiled to Ningguta, and their three generations will not be allowed to return to the capital."

"yes."

After learning of his fate, Tong Guowei accepted it calmly. After all, Tong Guogang's line was still there, and the Tong family's roots were still there.

As long as Tong Guogang's family is successful, he will have the opportunity to return to Beijing after three generations. I think Tong Guogang's descendants will help them at that time.

After Tong Guowei and his wife were beheaded, Liang Jiugong took his men to the cold palace.

"What are you doing? It's already come to this. Do you really think the Emperor will forgive you?"

"Liang Jiugong, you dog slave, what do you have to do with me? Even if I am deposed, even if I am sentenced to death, it is not up to you, a slave, to make a comment."

"That's right. You're going to die anyway, so why should we bother with you so much? Come on, bring the food over."

When Tong Jia saw what was on the plate, she couldn't help but take a step back. Kangxi actually wanted to sentence her to death!

Isn't it just that she defiled the harem and got pregnant with an illegitimate child? Now that the illegitimate child is gone, and she has been sent to the cold palace, can't this matter be let go like this?

The Tong family has paid the price. Considering that both he and I have the Tong family blood flowing in our veins, do we really have to kill them all?

She hasn't taken revenge on the wet nurse yet, how could she die?

The wet nurse that Tong Jia was obsessed with had been executed by Kangxi a long time ago. How could he let her live when she knew so many unknown secrets?

Tong Jia was a little too self-evident. She was doomed to die. No matter who came to plead for her today, she would have to die.

"You want to choose for yourself or do you want us to help you? We say this Crane's Beak Red is the best. The poison will take effect quickly and you won't suffer too much.

However, if you don't like it, you can also choose white silk or a dagger. However, it's a bit ugly to die, and I'm really worried that you will scare the messenger from the underworld who comes to take you away."

"I won't choose any of you. Liang Jiugong, you must have decided to execute me to please the Niuhulu family. I won't give you this opportunity."

Tong Jia wanted to run away. She wanted to spread the news that she had defiled the harem. She wanted to bring shame to the harem!

"Take her!"

"Since the common people are unwilling to choose, then our family will not be polite. Come, bring the white silk."

"yes."

No matter how Tong Jia struggled, she still died under the white silk. After confirming her death, Liang Jiugong threw her into a mass grave as ordered by Kangxi.

After this matter was settled, Kangxi never stayed overnight in anyone else's palace except the Kunning Palace.

In the Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang felt that Kangxi was still soft-hearted. If the grass is not uprooted, it will grow again in the spring breeze.

She wanted to send people to kill all of Tong Guowei's followers, but was stopped by Su Malagu.

"Princess, they are from the emperor's maternal family after all. Since this matter was done by Tong Guowei and his wife, and the emperor has made the decision, you should stay out of it.

If the emperor regrets his decision later and wants to bring them back, and then finds out they are gone, it would hurt the relationship between you and him as grandparents and grandchildren.

Why do you think the Empress pleaded for Duke Tong? Wasn't it because she wanted to leave room for the Emperor to regret?

Looking at the emperor's attitude, we know that he truly regrets his actions, otherwise he wouldn't have decided to give Tong Guogang and his family a lighter sentence."

"You have a point, but I think we should cut the weeds and eradicate them completely so there won't be any future troubles. Now that we've done it, we should do it to the end."

Seeing that Su Malagu was about to persuade her again, Xiaozhuang compromised with herself.

"Forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Go to Kunning Palace and bring the triplets over to accompany me. It's time for the Queen to have another child.

If only she could give birth to a princess, I would like her to marry into Khorchin. With my love for her, Khorchin would definitely treat her well."

Su Malagu just smiled and didn't say anything. Although Xiaozhuang's idea was good, if Mu Sili really gave birth to a princess, Kangxi would definitely not be willing to let her marry.

"I will go to Kunning Palace right away. Please don't dwell on those bad things, or the three young masters will be unhappy when they arrive."

"Go ahead."
