Dongfang Wen was a little confused after hearing this. He seemed to have no impression of Dongfang Rui doing these things. At that time, he had not yet met Dongfang Rui and was still struggling to survive in the palace.
After he took up the position and entered the court, he had only heard of the policies proposed and implemented by Dongfang Rui, but had no idea of their origins.
Today, when he suddenly heard the two of them recounting what Dongfang Rui had done, he suddenly felt that it was normal for Dongfang Rui to sit firmly on the throne of crown prince.
When Dongfang Wen thought of this, she immediately reacted and forced herself to give up the idea.
All the reasons he gave before were denied, and now there was nothing more to say.

He was not as good-tempered as the others who conspired with Dongfang Wen to rebel. He executed the entire family of the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, who was the mastermind, and the rest of the accomplices were either exiled to the frontier or banished to the southern barbarian land to open up wasteland.
Originally, the Song family was going to be confiscated and the heads of the people were beheaded in public, but considering that the Song family’s two daughters were both married into the royal family.
Especially since the two children of the third brother's family had just turned one year old, it was considered a way to accumulate some good karma for them. Changing their property to be confiscated and exiled to the southern barbarians to reclaim wasteland for the dynasty could be considered as atonement.
