Emperor Jianchang nodded continuously at Tao Yuwei's sharp and sincere words.
"Anle's words make sense. Come here, Marquis Wei Jing has framed a loyal and honest person and is suspected of treason. He has been sent to the prison department for investigation. If there are any violations of law and discipline, they will be punished as well."
Emperor Jianchang waved his hand, and two armored imperial guards immediately came to Wei Jinghou, took off his official hat, and took him away.
Marquis Wei Jing couldn't believe that he had suddenly become a prisoner, and he immediately cried out that it was unfair.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never harbored any intention of rebellion, and I have no dealings with Tian Linwen. Princess Anle is lying and slandering me. Your Majesty, please do not believe her lies."
Marquis Wei Jing was forcibly taken out of the court by the Imperial Guards, and his voice gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.
Inside the hall, no minister stood up to speak for him.
They have deeply felt His Majesty's anger and cannot let the fire be directed upon themselves.
The look they gave Tao Yuwei changed from contempt to fear.
The Lord of Anle County is not very old, but he speaks with great authority.
Regardless of the occasion, she dares to speak out anything.
What she said just now hit the nail on the head, namely pointing out that Wei Jinghou and Tian Linwen were suspected of collusion, and hinting that her father had a great influence in the army. Being slandered with the crime of embezzling military pay would shake the morale of the army and avoid disappointing the soldiers who were defending their country in various parts of the Great Zhou.
His Majesty took the opportunity to rectify the government and tried to punish these people again and again.
Alas, today’s grand court meeting was too long and tiring.
Now we can finally calm down and announce the end of the court session.
When I get home, I must remind my family not to mess with Princess Anle, the Rakshasa woman.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to get out of it unscathed.
Tao Yuwei was not surprised that Wei Jinghou was detained for investigation.
Your Majesty has already sent Marquis Wei Jing to the prison, so he has no chance of survival.
Just when the ministers were hoping that Emperor Jianchang would announce his withdrawal from court, they heard Tao Yuwei's accusation again.
"Your Majesty, may I ask who it is that claims to have evidence of my father's crime and present it to you? I suspect they are also involved in the treason case. Your Majesty, please handle this matter with caution and bring this person to court to clear my father's name."
Seeing that Tao Yuwei was still harping on this matter, Emperor Jianchang's eyes turned stern.
Thinking about the fact that the person behind Tian Linwen was recruiting private soldiers, the anger in his heart was hard to dissipate.
It's time for his sons to tighten their belts.
"Someone, go and invite the Seventh Princess."
Emperor Jianchang had a good point. He never concealed his children's mistakes.
He never punished his children secretly for the sake of the royal family's reputation.
Whenever his children made a mistake, he would set an example by punishing them in front of the court officials.
This can be clearly seen from the last incident when the fourth prince Xiao Xiaocheng caused chaos in the palace.
Emperor Jianchang was a monarch who dared to face the fact that his son had cuckolded him and announced the punishment.
This also made the royal princesses and princes of the Great Zhou much more low-key than previous royal family members.
After hearing this, Tao Yuwei curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.
The court officials' opinions of her had reached the point where they avoided her as much as possible.
Could she please forgive him and stop pestering him?
If Tao Yuwei knew what they were thinking, she would definitely scold them so much that they would be embarrassed to face anyone.
What a sarcastic remark. Unless the knife cuts someone's skin, no one will feel the pain.
Her father was almost killed due to the conspiracy of many parties. What good would it be for her not to pursue the matter?
When the seventh princess Xiao Zixuan was brought to the court, she smiled with joy.
Especially after she walked into the hall and saw Tao Yuwei and Tao Zhihong, she became even more certain that it was the wooden box she presented to her father that had played a role.
The task I did for my Sixth Brother must have been almost completed successfully.
Anle and her father have no chance of escaping from this vortex.
The emperor asked her to come and must ask her to testify. When the Tao family was brought to justice, her sixth brother was the first to discover the evidence of their guilt. She must let her father know that this was the credit of her sixth brother.
Now, the Sixth Prince can be released from house arrest and gain the trust of his father.
"Father, General Tao has embezzled military funds. You must stand up for the soldiers and have this corrupt official, Tao Zhihong, torn into pieces."
The seventh princess walked into the palace and started to criticize Tao Zhihong.
Emperor Jianchang's face suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Who asked you to present the contents of the wooden box?"
Xiao Zixuan looked at Tao Yuwei, who had an unhappy expression, with an unfriendly look, and she was in a very happy mood.
Anle, that idiot, can finally step on her hard under his feet.
No matter how much the emperor values her, he can never forgive the mistakes made by the great general.
From then on, she became the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was most valued by her father.
Thinking about the evidence she presented this time, she can be regarded as one of the heroes who exposed the crimes of important officials in the court. My father must have a new respect for her in his heart!
Wang Lingchang, who was standing at the front, took the opportunity to look at Xiao Zixuan who walked into the hall with everyone else, and kept winking at the Seventh Princess, secretly indicating to her to pass on the message.
Seventh Princess, please stop talking nonsense, or you will regret it.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zixuan thought that Emperor Jianchang had already confirmed the fact that Tao Zhihong had embezzled military funds, and he called her over just to ask where she got the evidence.
"Father, the wooden box was delivered to me by my Sixth Brother. I know this is a matter of great importance and dare not delay. I will present the evidence concerning the crimes committed by the Great General of the Nation for your decision."
After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang burst into laughter in anger.
