The fifth prince personally reported the crown prince, listing his many evil deeds in recent years. In short, he reported that the crown prince exploited the people, bribed officials, sheltered corrupt officials, and embezzled public funds, all of which were crimes related to money.

Originally, the most eye-catching achievement of the Crown Prince was that he often contributed to the national treasury. This time, the Fifth Prince seized on this point and exposed all the good things he had done as bad things.

It also mentioned that the prince had previously mobilized a large army to search for the treasure of the previous dynasty.

"Your Majesty! The talk of the previous dynasty's treasure is completely false! The gold, silver, and jewelry presented by the Crown Prince are all his own personal property. The fact that he can so easily offer such a large sum of money and treasures proves that he has been exploiting the people's wealth over the years! Your Majesty, please see clearly! Stand up for the oppressed and exploited people of Dongling!"

The fifth prince knelt on the ground, his face full of excitement and indignation, and bowed to the ground with his tablet raised in both hands, pleading for the people with all his heart.

"Prince, do you have any objection?" The emperor looked at the prince, his deep eyes full of the majesty of an emperor.

The prince was already panicking. He was being plotted against! Who had leaked all this to Dongfang Yuncong?

"Prince!" the emperor shouted in a deep voice.

The prince immediately knelt and pleaded his innocence, "Father! This is the first time I've heard of these things! That's why I was so shocked just now. I will thoroughly investigate my subordinates and get to the bottom of all this!"

…

In the court, heated debates broke out one after another.

It was not the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince who were arguing personally, but the officials who supported the two of them who were arguing with each other.

The emperor frowned and his expression became worse and worse when he heard this.

at last.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Immediately, the court became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The emperor stood up and said to all the officials, "Let's discuss this matter later." What he meant was that he didn't want to make a decision right now and needed to investigate and consider it further.

At this point, the emperor no longer had the mood to continue attending court. As soon as he left, the morning court was dispersed.

The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince stood up with the help of their own people. They looked at each other with eyes that seemed to want to kill each other.

"Fifth brother, you are really good at this! You have been keeping an eye on my every move every day for so many years? It really makes things difficult for you!" The prince glared at the fifth prince with gritted teeth.

The Fifth Prince was no less indifferent. He snorted coldly and retorted, "I have to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for giving me so many opportunities. Otherwise, even if I had watched over you day and night, I wouldn't have had so many things to report to Father."

The prince wanted to say more, but was stopped by his two uncles and taken away first.

The fifth prince also left with his men in a very good mood. He seemed to have already seen the day when the crown prince would be deposed.

-

East Palace.

The prince had just smashed everything he could, and the hall was in a mess. All the palace servants were lying on the ground, not daring to breathe. Even if someone happened to be unlucky enough to be hit by something, they would not dare to move.

Jing Wenyuan and Jing Wenfu were also here, and they dismissed all the servants.

"Okay, it won't help even if you burn down the entire East Palace! Now we have to find someone to take over these things." Jing Wenyuan said with a serious face.

Jing Wenfu, who was standing by, also said, "You need to distance yourself from all this as soon as possible!"

"These things weren't all handled by the same person. How could I find someone to take over for them all? If there were too many people, it would definitely give the other party another opportunity to take advantage!"

"Don't worry, as long as you think carefully, you can find someone who is related to all these things." Jing Wenfu guided the prince calmly.

The prince frowned in deep thought, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle, are you talking about Zhu Yunxi?"
