"You are pregnant, so you shouldn't be tired. Please leave the palace with your wife first. I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The courtyard has been arranged according to your requirements. You can rest assured.
Su Peisheng, accompany Li Gege back home. After she settles down, wait for me in the front yard. I have something for you to do."
"Yes, I understand."
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi also received the evidence of the Uya clan's crimes handed over by Liang Jiugong, and he was really angry.
Even though I was prepared, I was still shocked by the bloody events above.
"Liang Jiugong, is everything you found here true?"
“Yes, I also don’t believe that a Baoyi family can do so many things, so I went to check again.
After checking, I found that the records only included major events, and some minor events were not recorded.
I even found out that since Ecan took over as the Minister in Charge of the Imperial Household Department, the prices in the Imperial Household Department have been skyrocketing.
The price of an egg, which was once one wen among the common people, was previously recorded as three hundred wen each, but now it is one liang each. The commonly used cabbage was two wen per head among the common people, but it is recorded as three liang of silver per head.
Even meat was only 15 wen per pound among the common people, but the Imperial Household Department recorded it as 20 taels of silver per pound.
These are just small prices, but some of the purchases are truly astronomical.”
"presumptuous!!!"
Kangxi was furious. He didn't know the prices of goods in the common people before. He thought it was a bit of a luxury to eat meat at 20 taels per catty every day. He was embarrassed to eat it every day for fear that the silver in the national treasury would not be enough for him to eat.
The eggs, which cost one or two taels of silver each, were said to be laid by chickens that drank the clear spring water from the Tianshan Mountains and that eating them could prolong life. Every time he ate one, he felt he had gotten a good deal and even ordered the Imperial Household Department to purchase more.
Now if we tell him that all this is fake and is caused by corruption in the Imperial Household Department, how can he accept it?
"Tell me, what else?"
"Also... a lot of things in your private vault have been replaced. They were confiscated by the Imperial Household Department as soon as they entered the palace. The ones sent to the Palace of Heavenly Purity were all counterfeit items made by them."
Liang Jiugong knelt down after he finished speaking. Why should he endure this unbearable pain?
Can't someone else report it? The emperor can't leave me alone, so he has to call me, right? If you have the guts, don't kick him later!
Alas, he is already such an old man, but he still gets kicked in the butt by the emperor at every turn. How shameful, so shameful!
There was a loud bang, it was the sound of Kangxi smashing the inkstone in extreme anger.
Seeing the inkstone smashed into pieces on the ground, Liang Jiugong silently said "I'm sorry".
No matter how you look at it, this inkstone looks like it was meant to bring disaster upon him. That's not right. Could it be that Kangxi threw it at his head?
I have saved my life, I must take some time to worship Buddha.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here."
Kangxi was already furious, and now he thought that Yinzhen came to plead for the Uya clan.
"Let that bastard in. I want to see how he's going to plead for the Wuya clan. They've bullied him so much. If he really pleads for them, I'll strip him of his yellow belt!"
As soon as Yinzhen came in, he saw the furious Kangxi and Liang Jiugong who kept winking at him. He was very confused. What had happened and why were they looking at him like that?
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"Get up! Shouldn't you be leaving the palace by now? Why are you here in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
Yinzhen suddenly knelt down, and before he could say anything, Kangxi shouted "evil son".
Yinzhen was confused and dumbfounded. What had he done? He hadn't even said a word yet, so why would the emperor call him a wicked son?
"Father Your Majesty, I feel wronged. Why are you scolding me for no reason? Could it be that you already know why I came here this time?"
"Yes, I know you're here for the Wuya clan's affairs. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
This made Yinzhen feel confused. What did he want to do? He wanted to make the Wuya clan fall into hell.
But Kangxi's furious look meant that he was not going to let him report the Wuya clan? Why should he report it?
"Father Your Majesty, I have uncovered numerous incriminating evidence against the Wuya clan. Even if you punish me and demote me to a commoner, I will expose their crimes."
Yinzhen looked so hopeless and ready to die that Kangxi was confused. It seemed that he came to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice, not to beg for mercy.
Fortunately, fortunately, I almost exposed my misunderstanding of Yinzhen just now.
"Bring up the evidence you found so I can see it, Liang Jiugong."
"yes."
When Kangxi got the evidence against Yinzhen, he almost laughed out loud. This guy was quite capable and had found out a lot of things.
Although he already knew all these things, he had to admit that Yinzhen was still quite capable.
"You are quite capable. You can find out all these things."
"Father Your Majesty, I know that my actions are inappropriate. If I don't expose the crimes of the Wuya clan, more people will suffer in the future, and I will not be able to take over.
You can beat and scold me, even if it means taking away my newly acquired title. It doesn't matter, as long as they are brought to justice."
Kangxi felt sorry for him and almost misunderstood him just now. Now he couldn't misinterpret his meaning anymore.
Anyway, the evidence of the Wuya clan's guilt is conclusive, so let's do as he wishes.
"I will handle this matter myself and will not let them off easily.
You don't have to worry. If the Uya clan dares to do these things, they must bear the consequences, even if they cannot afford them."
"I, your son, thank you, Father, on behalf of myself and those who were persecuted by the Uya clan."
"Okay, let's leave the palace."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
After Yinzhen walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, he looked in the direction of the Yonghe Palace. It would be unreasonable not to tell his mother about such a good thing.
So before he left the palace, he specially sent someone to Yonghe Palace to tell Uya, who had become a concubine, about this matter.
Uya was so angry that she almost died.
She really didn't expect that her son Yinzhen would be so cruel. Didn't she not kill him and the two children?
Why could he do such a thing? The Uya clan is his maternal family.
She wanted to go to Kangxi to plead for mercy, but she couldn't get out of the back hall of Yonghe Palace.
Because the person Kangxi sent to guard her was deaf and could not hear her at all.
In a fit of rage, she knocked the guard unconscious and ran to the Palace of Heavenly Purity when no one was paying attention.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please release my family. They are innocent."
Liang Jiugong was startled when he heard her voice. How did she get out? Seeing Kangxi frown, he hurried out to chase Wu Ya away.
"Why did Wu Ya agree to this? She actually made a noise outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Doesn't she know that this will disturb the Emperor?"
"Eunuch Liang, Eunuch Liang, please help me. I will be grateful to you."
"This palace? It seems that the concubine has been sitting on the throne of concubine for too long and has forgotten her current status."
