Emperor Sheng An, who was always serious and dignified in the court, actually laughed to the point of tears. Eunuch Xiang hurriedly handed him a handkerchief.

The emperor took it and wiped his eyes, then coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "Minister An is right."

“But it’s not good to bump into pillars or walls and have white and red splashed everywhere.

Next time, if there are officials who are willing to die for their remonstrances, they can bring a rope in advance," Emperor Sheng An said seriously, pointing to the beam beside him, "You can actually consider hanging yourself."

"Your Majesty is wise. I was stupid and inconsiderate." An Xin admitted his mistake modestly.

The ministers were in tears: "…" The emperor has been led astray, how to redeem himself, etc., it's quite urgent.

It would be strange for Emperor Sheng An to be happy about the officials who often used death-defying remonstrances to force the emperor to change his mind.

I heard that Emperor Sheng An agreed with An Xin’s ridiculous remarks.

The Prince of Nanjun, who had been trying to fight to the death, was suddenly unable to do anything.

He stared blankly at Emperor Sheng An on the dragon throne, as if to ask, "Are you serious?" He didn't believe that Emperor Sheng An would disregard the royal family's dignity and help protect the female official who dared to beat the emperor's prince.

It was because of this confidence that he pretended to be pitiful in front of the emperor, and was prepared to personally beat An Xin to death for daring to beat him, and to avenge his daughter.

The Prince of Nanjun never expected that the emperor and his ministers would sing the same tune and put him in a dilemma.

Emperor Sheng An didn't let him be embarrassed for long. He glanced meaningfully at Jiang Zhou below.

Jiang Zhou, who had never thought of being a loyal minister, understood what was happening and took the Jade Dragon Whip that the Prince of Nanjun ignored the Emperor's gift yesterday...

There are also lawless and evil things like blocking the door of a minister's house and shouting for the killing of court officials. Report them to him.

Jiang Zhou's impeachment of Prince Nan was well-founded and there were many people present at the time, so Prince Nan had no way to make excuses.

He could only yell, "He did those things because An Xin hurt his daughter, Princess Lingshan."

However, when Emperor Sheng An threw one of the pieces of evidence in front of Prince Nanjun, when Prince Nanjun picked it up and read it, his whole face turned pale.

"Let me ask you, what you did, Lord An, was just to return the favor in your own way. What's wrong with that?"

Emperor Sheng An didn't know whether he was really angry or pretending to be angry. He looked fiercely at Prince Nanjun, his cousin who had once been against him.

“This…this…”

The Prince of Nanjun was speechless for a moment when asked by Emperor Sheng An. The evidence was here, which made him defend the many ridiculous things his daughter did.

As a monarch, Emperor Sheng'an has always been a man of decisive actions.

"Pass on my decree. The Prince of Nanjun has disregarded the imperial authority and is demoted to the second-class Duke Yongping Marquis as a warning."

"Your Majesty!!!" This time Prince Nanjun really cried.

He originally gave up the hereditary throne in order to request the title of Princess for the daughter he truly loved, and it would take a hundred years for him to be demoted.

As for the Crown Prince Si Wei, Emperor Sheng'an let him inherit several ranks of dukedom. The Prince of Nanjun, who did not have much affection for his step-concubine and her son, did not care about him.

But Prince Nanjun never expected that before he died, he would lose his respected throne.

Thinking that any powerful duke or earl could be above him in the future, the Prince of Nanjun could not accept such a result. He climbed up the stairs under the dragon throne in tears and shouted, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I should not have ignored the Jade Dragon Whip, which symbolizes the imperial power. I really know I was wrong."

The Prince of Nanjun was so panicked that he spoke incoherently and even claimed in front of the emperor that he had opened the door to the king.

Emperor Sheng An narrowed his eyes. It would be better to let Huang, who had ulterior motives towards him, get away from him.

"The title of Prince of Nanjun was abolished, and the original fiefdom was taken back.

Since my father is not a prince either, the title of Princess Lingshan is also abolished."

Emperor Sheng An's eyes were still sharp, but his expression was relaxed, as if he was looking at Prince Nanjun with infinite kindness: "After all, you are also a member of the royal family. How can I watch my cousin have no fiefdom to rely on?"

"Pass on my decree, granting the former Prince of Nanjun and his daughter Lingshan Shachen County as their new fiefdom, to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing."

Emperor Sheng An was compassionate and said in a kind tone: "I will give you five days to pack your luggage, and you will set off for your fiefdom in five days."

Prince of Nanjun: "How can my father and I bear to live in such a bitter and cold place?"

"Oh! If you despise the imperial power, will I grant you a fiefdom with singing birds, blooming flowers and abundant resources?" A light sarcastic voice.

Finally, the Prince of Nanjun came to his senses a little. He looked up and glared at Jiang Zhou who had caused him such a miserable tragedy. He was afraid of the person on the dragon throne and could only be angry but not say anything.

"You little brat, what truth are you telling? Look how angry our prince is." An Xin had no sympathy for someone who wanted to chop him up and feed him to the dogs: "Even though he can't have that kind of place as a fief, can't he still have dreams?"

"You...you guys..." The Prince of Nanjun was so angry that he almost spat out blood. He pointed at the two of them and said, "You are going too far."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

These were the teacher and student of An Xin in the imperial court. They had just stopped while they were ahead and had avenged themselves for being blocked at the door yesterday. The two of them lowered their heads slightly and stood there respectfully without saying a word.

Prince Nanjun knew that he had no way to deal with the two of them at the moment, so he turned to look at Emperor Sheng An's gentle old face, without the slightest intention of making a decision for him.

Moreover, the emperor's eyes were stern, and the look he gave him left no room for doubt, as he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

In the end, he could only kowtow to express his gratitude, and returned to the palace in embarrassment after the court session.

There was much more that caused Prince Nan and Princess Lingshan to collapse.

Shortly after returning to the palace, Princess Lingshan learned that her title of princess had been revoked, and she was venting her anger by smashing things at home.

The eunuchs in the palace were ordered to come and announce the decree.

No matter how reluctant Prince Nan and Princess Lingshan were, as long as they didn't want to lose their heads, they had to come out and burn incense and set up an altar to receive the imperial edict.

The first imperial edict was, as expected, a decree to demote the Prince of Nanjun to a second-class duke and to abolish the title of Princess Lingshan.

Just as Prince Nan and Princess Lingshan heard the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict finish reading, they thanked him and were about to stand up.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict took out an imperial edict and read it to the surprised eyes of the father and daughter: "The Emperor decrees, by the Will of Heaven.

The Princess of Nanjun is a lady from a prominent family, of noble character, and well-informed in etiquette... She is granted the title of Lady of the First Rank and does not have to follow the Marquis of Yongping to his fiefdom.

The son he raised was honest and kind... He was specially granted the title of first-class duke and the title of Duke of Ren County, and he continued to live in the royal palace.

When his mother has made no contributions to the court after a hundred years, he will move out of the palace and live in the county mansion."

The Princess of Nanjun and her son Si Wei, who had been kneeling silently behind, were so shocked by this sudden imperial edict that they stood there in shock.

The father-in-law who announced the decree saw the stunned mother and son and shed tears for them.

Anyone who has been to the capital city knows how much the Prince of Nanjun dislikes his new princess.
