Xia Zhengqi was stunned: "What are you planning?"
"I have found five hundred sets of armor and hundreds of weapons from Xia Yi's house." Xiao Licheng paused, seeming a little hesitant to continue.
Xia Zhengqi had clearly heard his daughter's thoughts and was aware of Yang's lover and Xia Chenghai's conspiracy, but he still pretended to be shocked and asked sternly, "Is he planning a rebellion?"
"Yes, Xia Yi was dissatisfied with the court and His Majesty, so he instigated Prince Hai to rebel. Xia Yi also secretly trained two thousand soldiers in the valley of Yuyang County." After Xiao Licheng finished speaking, he lowered his head silently.
He's already gathered 2,000 soldiers! I forgot when he started the rebellion in the book, but I think he had 3,000 soldiers at the time.
Xia Miaoyuan held up his head and recalled carefully.
[Oh, Daddy is so lucky! Fortunately, Xia Yi's rebellion was discovered in time, otherwise he would have started a rebellion soon.]
[Although his troops were not to be feared, the book states that this rebellion caused Daddy's prestige among the royal family to drop significantly.]
[The fact that a mere prince of Yuyang dared to rebel demonstrates the emperor's incompetence and inability to win over the people.]
When Xia Zhengqi heard his daughter's inner thoughts, he felt cold sweat on his back.
Fortunately, my precious daughter reminded me, otherwise Xia Yi’s rebellion would have happened soon.
It really makes me scared just thinking about it.
Xia Zhengqi was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Where is Prince Jing? Has he confessed?" It was a short sentence, but it seemed as if every word was extremely difficult to say.
"He confessed. Prince Jing said that he was the one who, out of revenge, had the palace soldiers disguise themselves and beat Yin Heng to death."
"Later, Yin Heng's two sons insisted on filing a complaint. He was worried that the matter would spread to the capital and would be disadvantageous to him, so he sent palace soldiers to disguise themselves as bandits. They killed Yin Heng's eldest son and his wife, and then burned down the Yin Mansion."
After hearing this, Xia Zhengqi's body seemed to freeze.
He closed his eyes in pain and clenched his hands into fists.
Second brother, you are so confused!
Xia Miaoyuan, who was playing nearby, saw Xia Zhengqi's expression and immediately understood the distress in his heart.
【Daddy is in such a difficult situation! 】
[The Second Imperial Uncle and he had a very good relationship, but now it was discovered that the Second Imperial Uncle had committed murder and arson.]
As the ancients said, if a prince breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as a commoner. Daddy is in a difficult position now.
If I spare the Emperor's uncle's life, it would be against the laws of the country. If I execute him according to the law, I would not be able to bear it.
[Whether to obey national laws or follow personal desires is a difficult decision.]
Xia Zhengqi, who had been hesitant just now, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing his daughter's sigh, as if he suddenly figured it out.
Either obey the laws of the country or follow your own selfish desires. I am the emperor of Daxia, so of course I have to obey the laws of the country!
Xia Zhengqi thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote an imperial edict.
Princess Yang Peixin had an affair with the Prince of Yuyang, gave birth to an illegitimate child, murdered the eldest son of the prince's palace, and confused the royal bloodline. Her crime should be punished by the extermination of nine generations of her clan. However, considering that the Yang family was not involved, Yang Peixin was sentenced to immediate execution and her family was not implicated.
The Prince of Yuyang had an affair with Yang Peixin and colluded with Prince Hai with the intention of treason. The Prince of Yuyang was sentenced to be torn apart by a chariot. The men in his mansion were beheaded and the women were exiled.
Prince Hai sentenced him to death by chariot pulling apart.
Prince Jing disregarded the law of the country and sent people to assassinate Yin Heng's family, and sentenced them to beheading.
The next day, Eunuch Debao read out the imperial edict in the Golden Palace.
Because Xia Yuexin was a descendant of the Prince of Yuyang, she was sold as a slave.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.
The well-behaved Prince Jing's Mansion and the obscure Prince Yuyang's Mansion unexpectedly encountered problems at the same time.
Soon, the affair between the princess and the prince became a hot topic of conversation for people all over the capital. Storytellers even wrote a book called "The Romantic Prince Favors the Princess" overnight and told it in teahouses.
However, at the same time, people were also talking about Emperor Mingxi Xia Zhengqi, praising him for his wisdom and bravery, and for being able to detect the rebellion of Prince Yuyang without anyone knowing.
In the blink of an eye, all the plane trees in the capital had lost their leaves.
Autumn passes and winter comes.
Xia Miaoyuan can now walk smoothly and no longer staggers like a little penguin.
The little deer that was picked up from the wild was raised by the Queen in the garden of Kunning Palace because Xia Miaoyuan really liked it.
As soon as Xia Miaoyuan opened her eyes every day, she urged Li Ma to help her wash and dress, and then immediately ran to the yard to see the deer.
Although Xiaolu's left front leg was fractured, fortunately, he received timely treatment and Yin Xizi's medicine was excellent. Therefore, in less than a month, Xiaolu's leg bone had healed for the most part, but he was still in a splint.
It was almost noon, and warm sunlight streamed into the courtyard of Kunning Palace.
"Le...le...ah Maomao" Xia Miaoyuan called the deer incoherently, and his chubby hands gently stroked the deer's back.
Xia Miaoyuan was having fun playing with the little deer in the yard.
The palace maid prepared clean vegetable leaves, Xia Miaoyuan picked up a piece and handed it to Xiaolu.
The little deer took advantage of Xia Miaoyuan's hand and ate the leaf bite by bite. He ate it very politely, but the taste was very sweet.
[Oh my, why does the deer look so delicious when eating? Are these leaves really that delicious?]
While Xia Miaoyuan was pondering, he couldn't help but raise the leaf to his hand and took a bite.
"Little princess, open your mouth quickly! You can't eat it!" Nanny Li and the palace maid who were standing by and taking care of her were so scared that they turned pale and immediately stepped forward to grab the food.
Those who pick their mouths pick their mouths, and those who move their heads move their heads.
Even though everyone was moving very quickly, Xia Miaoyuan still took a bite.
[yue...doesn't taste good] Xia Miaoyuan stuck out his tongue.
The queen rushed over from the inner room and understood about 70% of what was going on when she saw her daughter like this. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Miao'er, do you miss your father?"
Suddenly, a deep male voice came from the room.
Everyone looked up and saw Xia Zhengqi, dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, striding in.
Everyone saluted.
"Daddy!" Xia Miaoyuan called in a baby voice, while stretching out his two little arms and walking towards Xia Zhengqi.
Now, she can say some simple words, especially the words "Daddy", "Mom", and "Brother", and she is very proficient in them.
Xia Zhengqi watched his precious daughter walk towards him, his mouth wide with joy. He picked up Xia Miaoyuan and kissed her rosy little face again and again.
Haha, my baby daughter is still the best. She is sweet and soft, and cute no matter how you look at her.
After dealing with those troublesome government affairs, just hug the soft and sticky little dumpling, and you will immediately feel relaxed and feel that life is so wonderful.
Xia Zhengqi muttered silently in his heart, enjoying the wonderful interaction with his daughter.
"Your Majesty, lunch is almost ready. Wash your hands and prepare to eat." The queen said softly.
Xia Zhengqi nodded, paused, and said, "Ruoyu, I have good news for you today."
