Chapter 107 The dust has settled
Xia Zhengqi was stunned: "What are you planning?"
"I found 500 sets of armor and several hundred weapons in Xia Yi's house." Xiao Licheng paused, as if he was a little afraid to continue.
Xia Zhengqi had clearly heard his daughter's voice and knew that Yang's lover and Xia Chenghai were plotting a rebellion, but he still pretended to be shocked and asked sharply: "Is he planning a rebellion?"
"Yes, Xia Yi was dissatisfied with the court and His Majesty, so he instigated Hai Shizi to rebel. Xia Yi also secretly trained 2,000 soldiers in the valley of Yuyang County." Xiao Licheng finished speaking and lowered his head silently.
[2,000 soldiers have been summoned! I forgot when he started the rebellion in the book, but he seemed to have 3,000 soldiers at that time. 】
Xia Miaoyuan held her head and recalled carefully.
【Oh, Daddy is really lucky. Fortunately, Xia Yi's rebellion was discovered in time, otherwise he would have started the rebellion soon. 】
【Although his troops are not to be feared, the book says that this rebellion caused Daddy's prestige among the royal family members to drop greatly. 】
【A small Yuyang County Prince dared to rebel, which just shows that the emperor is incompetent and unable to command the people. 】
Xia Zhengqi heard his daughter's voice and felt cold sweat on his back.
Fortunately, his precious daughter reminded him, otherwise Xia Yi's rebellion would have happened soon. It's
really scary just thinking about it.
Xia Zhengqi was silent for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "What about Prince Jing? Did he confess?" It was a short sentence, but it seemed that every word was extremely difficult to say.
"He confessed. Prince Jing said that it was him who, out of revenge, asked the palace soldiers to disguise themselves and beat
Yin Heng to death." "Later, Yin Heng's two sons insisted on complaining. He was worried that the matter would be reported to the capital and would be disadvantageous to him, so he sent palace soldiers to disguise as bandits, killed Yin Heng's eldest son and daughter-in-law, and burned down Yin's mansion."
After Xia Zhengqi finished listening, his body seemed to be frozen .
He closed his eyes in pain, and clenched his hands into fists.
Second brother, you are so confused!
Xia Miaoyuan, who was playing nearby, saw Xia Zhengqi like this, and immediately understood his distress.
[Daddy is in such a difficult situation! 】
【The Second Imperial Uncle and he had a good relationship, but now it was discovered that the Second Imperial Uncle had committed murder and arson. 】 【The ancients said that if a prince breaks the law,
he is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. Dad is in a dilemma now. 】 【If the Imperial Uncle is spared, it would be against the laws of the country. If he is executed according to the law, he cannot bear it. 】 【Whether to obey the laws of the country or to follow personal desires, this choice is indeed difficult. 】 Xia Zhengqi, who was still hesitant just now, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing his daughter's sigh, as if he had suddenly figured it out. Either obey the laws of the country or follow personal desires. I am the emperor of Daxia, and of course I must obey the laws of the country when doing things! Xia Zhengqi thought for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote an imperial edict. Princess Yang Peixin had an affair with Prince Yuyang, gave birth to an illegitimate child, murdered the eldest son of the palace, and confused the royal bloodline. Her crime should be exterminated with all nine clans. Considering that the Yang family did not participate, Yang Peixin was sentenced to beheaded immediately, and her family was not implicated. Prince Yuyang had an affair with Yang Peixin and colluded with Prince Hai to plot rebellion. Prince Yuyang sentenced him to be torn apart by a chariot. The men in the palace were beheaded and the women were exiled. Prince Hai was sentenced to be torn apart by a chariot. Prince Jing disregarded the law of the country and sent people to assassinate Yin Heng's family. He was sentenced to beheaded. The next day, Eunuch Debao read out the imperial edict in the Jinluan Palace. Xia Yuexin was punished and sold because she was a descendant of Prince Yuyang. As soon as the imperial edict was announced, the whole court was shocked. The well-behaved Prince Jing 's Mansion and the obscure Prince Yuyang's Mansion both had problems at the same time. Soon, the affair between the princess and the prince became a hot topic of conversation for people all over the capital. Even storytellers wrote a book called "The Romantic Prince Favors the Princess" overnight and told it in teahouses. However, at the same time, people were also talking about Emperor Mingxi Xia Zhengqi, praising him for being so wise and brave that he could find out the Prince Yuyang's rebellion without anyone noticing. In a blink of an eye, all the sycamore trees in the capital had lost their leaves. Autumn passed and winter came. Xia Miaoyuan could walk smoothly now, no longer staggering like a little penguin. The fawn that Xia Miaoyuan had picked up from the wild was raised by the empress in the garden of Kunning Palace because she really liked it. Every day when Xia Miaoyuan opened her eyes, she would urge Li Ma to wash and dress her, and then immediately run to the yard to see the fawn. Although the fawn's left front leg was broken, fortunately, it was treated in time and Yin Xizi's medicine was very good. Therefore, in less than a month, the fawn's leg bone had healed for the most part, but it was still in a splint. It was almost noon, and the warm sunlight shone into the courtyard of Kunning Palace. "Le...le...ah Maomao" Xia Miaoyuan called the fawn incoherently, and her chubby hands gently stroked the fawn's back. Xia Miaoyuan was playing with the fawn in the yard. The palace maid had prepared some dried vegetable leaves. Xia Miaoyuan picked up a piece and handed it to Xiaolu. Xiaolu took the leaf from Xia Miaoyuan's hand and ate it one bite at a time. He ate it very politely, but it also made people feel very sweet. [Oh, why does it taste so sweet when watching Xiaolu eating? Are these vegetable leaves really so delicious?] Xia Miaoyuan pondered while holding the leaf to her hand and took a bite. "Little princess, open your mouth quickly! You can't eat it!" Nanny Li and the palace maid who were standing by and taking care of her were so scared that they turned pale and immediately came forward to grab it. Some picked their mouths and some moved their heads. Even though everyone's movements were very fast, Xia Miaoyuan still took a bite. [yue... not delicious] Xia Miaoyuan stuck out her tongue. The empress rushed over from the inner room, and when she saw her daughter like this, she already understood 70% of what was going on, and couldn't help but smile. "Miao'er, do you miss your father?" Suddenly, a deep male voice came in. Everyone looked up and saw Xia Zhengqi wearing a bright yellow brocade robe. He walked in with big strides. Everyone bowed.
"Daddy!" Xia Miaoyuan called in a baby voice, while she stretched out her two little arms and walked towards Xia Zhengqi.
Now, she can already say some simple words, especially the words daddy, mommy, and brother, which she is very proficient in.
Xia Zhengqi looked at his precious daughter walking towards him, his mouth grinning from ear to ear with joy. He picked up Xia Miaoyuan and kissed her chubby little face again and again.
Haha, my precious daughter is still the best, sweet and soft, so cute no matter how you look at her.
After dealing with those headache-inducing government affairs, as long as he hugs the soft and sticky little dumpling, he will immediately feel relaxed and feel that life is incomparably beautiful.
Xia Zhengqi silently muttered in his heart, enjoying the beauty of interacting with his daughter.
"Your Majesty, lunch is almost ready. Wash your hands and prepare for dinner." The Queen said softly.
Xia Zhengqi nodded, paused and said, "Ruoyu, I have good news for you today."
