In the case of embezzlement during the Shandong disaster relief efforts, Marhan was the first to step forward and report. Before the Emperor could speak, Songgotu's son stepped forward as well.
First, they staged a scene of "sacrificing family for the greater good".
In short, they singled out those rotten members of the Hesheli clan and asked His Majesty to punish them severely. Naturally, the Niohuru clan involved in the incident was also not spared.
Aside from these, none of the remaining small fish and shrimp could escape either.
After all, the Hesheli clan had stood up and sacrificed their own family for the greater good, so how could the rest of them possibly escape?
The Emperor casually announced the punishments: those who deserved exile would be exiled, and those whose homes would be confiscated would have their property confiscated. Of course, bloodshed was inevitable.

She asked His Majesty for his opinion before inviting the Crown Prince, hoping to ease the tension between father and son. However, the Crown Prince seemed not to listen at all. After leaving Cining Palace, he did not go to Qianqing Palace at all.
