The old emperor's words made Prince Kang feel a little uncomfortable, but he just frowned slightly and did not show it.
"yes!"
"Since you have nothing else to do, please leave."
The old emperor waved his hands, looking tired.
After the people present left, the old emperor's face turned gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
"An Yi, re-place spies throughout the capital! I must have a clear understanding of the entire capital's situation!"
"yes."
"Especially the Prince Kang's Mansion, we must place spies there!"
The old emperor gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"yes!"
......
Because the evidence provided by Prince Gong was complete and comprehensive, more than a dozen officials, including the Minister of Rites Dong Liangce, were detained.
According to the severity of the mistakes they made, the old emperor ordered some officials to be beheaded, some to be exiled to the frontier, and some to be directly demoted.
Dong Liangce, the Minister of Rites, was among those who were demoted.
Dong Liangce hated Prince Gong to death, but he regretted that he was not the one who brought Prince Gong down.
Now that he has been demoted, he has divorced his wife and his legitimate son has also left.
It can be said that he has reached the point where his wife and children are separated.
However, he still had his illegitimate son Dong Zhuo, who would go with him to the local area, and from then on, the father and son would depend on each other for survival.
This is what Dong Liangce thought.
But when he was in prison, he met Dong Zhuo who came to visit him.
"Zhuo'er, you've come to see your father! Your love for you is truly not in vain!"
Dong Liangce was a little excited.
Dong Zhuo sneered, "You've ever felt sorry for me? How dare you say that?"
You have ended up like this now, I just want to say you deserve it!"
Dong Liangce's face turned pale and blue.
"How dare you! I'm your father! How dare you speak to me like that?!
Your upbringing has gone to waste!"
Dong Liangce still maintained his fatherly attitude and scolded Dong Zhuo harshly.
"Education? I don't have much education. After all, I'm a bastard whose father doesn't love me and whose mother died early.
You've become a prisoner, and you still don't understand your current situation!
I'm here to tell you that from now on, I sever the father-son relationship between you and me. Whether you're demoted or beheaded, it has nothing to do with me!"
Dong Zhuo said this with a cold face and turned to leave.
Dong Liangce was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shouted, "Dong Zhuo, stop right there! You're only nine years old! If you break off relations with me, where are you going?!"
"It's none of your business."
Dong Zhuo left without hesitation after saying these four words without looking back.
Three days later, Prince Gong was executed at the Meridian Gate. Common people gathered around him and threw all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at his head and face!
Under the gaze of everyone, Prince Gong's head fell to the ground!
On the same day, the exiled and demoted officials were paraded through the streets and were treated to rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs by the people.
Duke Zheng's uncle and aunt's family have solid evidence because they lost their child more than 20 years ago and kidnapped Jiang Yingying now.
Zheng Erqiang and Zheng Pozi were sentenced to life imprisonment because of their old age.
Zheng Yaozu was executed by imperial decree.
As for Zheng Yaozu's wife and children, because they had no involvement in all this, they were simply driven out of Duke Zheng's Mansion and out of the capital, and were ordered not to set foot in the capital again in their lifetime!
When Zheng Erqiang and Zheng Pozi learned the fate of their son and grandson, they could not accept the shattering of their dreams and died of anger after only a few days in prison!
The bad guys got the punishment and retribution they deserved, and the good guys' lives continued.
The concubines in Prince Gong's mansion were dismissed, and the old emperor spared their lives.
As for Prince Gong's legitimate son, the old emperor, considering that the child was innocent, allowed him to enter the palace and be raised by the queen.
Jiang Yingying returned to the residence of the Deputy Minister of War, but because of her status as a concubine's daughter and the concubine of the criminal Prince Gong, she was looked down upon by many people in the residence.
Tian Shanyue returned to Duke Zheng's Mansion. She is loved by her parents and she is the only daughter in the mansion. No one will say anything bad about her. She is currently living a happy life.
Tian Shanyue, or rather, the Duke Zheng's Mansion, had closer ties with the Prince Kang's Mansion because of Prince Gong's affairs.
On the surface, in the eyes of others, the Duke of Zheng's Mansion is on the side of Prince Kang's Mansion.
King Kang adopted Dong Zhuo after obtaining the old emperor's consent.
Dong Zhuo is still called Dong Zhuo, his name remains unchanged.
After all, King Kang was a member of the royal family, and it was not appropriate for Dong Zhuo to change his surname.
After successfully adopting Dong Zhuo, Prince Kang returned home and told his wife about it, feeling a little emotional.
"Madam, when I told my father the emperor about adopting Dong Zhuo in the palace, I clearly felt his displeasure.
I almost thought that my father would simply refuse!
I didn't expect that my father would actually agree!"
Ye Peizhu was helpless, "Your Majesty, you have already executed first and reported to the emperor later, so doesn't the emperor have any choice but to agree?
If Dong Zhuo's father hadn't left the capital yet, do you think the emperor would allow us to adopt Dong Zhuo?"
King Kang thought about it and scratched his head, "That's right, but I only have time to deal with this matter now.
Madam, Prince Gong is finally dead, and I feel a lot more relieved now.
Our family will not end up the same as in the last life, right?
The hidden danger has been removed!"
Prince Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Gong's actions in recent days had completely eroded his brotherly feelings for him. Now he was really happy about Prince Gong's death.
Ye Peizhu looked at her husband's optimistic expression and sighed inwardly.
This is totally different.
According to what the daughter said, in the previous life, their whole family was executed, and it was not just because of Prince Gong.
I'm afraid Prince Gong alone doesn't have the ability to kill their entire family.
I'm afraid there are other people involved.
Although Prince Gong was overthrown in this life, what about others?
I can only say that from now on, I will not offend others unless they offend me.
If anyone else wants to attack their entire family, all they can do is retaliate severely!
Ye Peizhu pondered how to explain the situation to her prince so that he could be mentally prepared in advance.
But before she could speak, Song Jiujiu woke up.
【I woke up and I’m so hungry! 】
Ye Peizhu had no choice but to swallow her words and stood up to pick up her daughter.
"Your Majesty, please go outside and tell Qiuyun to bring some goat milk to Jiuer."
"good."
King Kang agreed and went out first.
Ye Peizhu changed her daughter's diaper and poked her little face.
【Mother, hehe. 】
Song Jiujiu grinned.
[Prince Gong is dead, which means a hidden danger has been eliminated. I am in a good mood.
Come to think of it, it seems like I haven’t seen Uncle An for a long time.
Uncle An Wang lives right next to us, so why doesn't he come over to visit?
When Ye Peizhu heard this, she suddenly remembered something.
