When the emperor looked at the fourth prince, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and even contained murderous intent.
The moment he saw the evidence, the emperor wanted to kill the fourth prince.
It would have been fine if the Fourth Brother didn't think about doing anything for Yan State or his own country, but he actually colluded with those people in Southern Xinjiang and the previous dynasty.
He has forgotten his roots.
The emperor knows best what it means that Southern Xinjiang and the previous dynasty are colluding with the prince of the current dynasty.
If anything happened to Dayan during his reign, and he could not keep his seat on the throne, he would not be able to face his ancestors even if he stepped down.
The emperor's face was filled with anger.
Normally, the emperor seldom reveals his emotions in court.
But at this time he was really angry.
When the Fourth Prince saw the evidence, he was actually confused and didn't know what went wrong.
But he absolutely could not admit it, because if he did, he would die.
At this time, the Fourth Prince was also afraid.
The fourth prince knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Father, please calm down. I am innocent and I don't know what happened."
"Someone must have forged my son's handwriting and my son's seal. Father, please understand."
"Even if I really have some ideas, I will never harm the interests of our Yan Dynasty. Father believes in me..."
The fourth prince cried out that he was wronged, his tone sincere and tearful.
It would be easy to believe him just by listening to his tone, but the evidence is there and the emperor will not believe the Fourth Prince's cry of innocence at all.
If it were something else, the emperor would definitely protect the fourth prince.
But the emperor would never tolerate such collusion with the previous dynasty and Southern Xinjiang.
Otherwise, the ministers in the court would all take chances, and even some spies from southern Xinjiang might defect to the Fourth Brother.
The emperor knew that he had to show ruthless measures to let everyone know that he was colluding with the former dynasty in southern Xinjiang, and the prince must not tolerate it.
The emperor stared at the fourth prince, and his eyes were dark and unclear as he looked at him.
The court officials could all feel the emperor's anger, and none of them dared to speak, not even to breathe in the court.
If it is any other problem, everyone can even plead for the Fourth Prince.
But when it comes to the crime of treason and collusion with the enemy by the previous dynasty in southern Xinjiang, no one dared to plead for mercy.
If they talk too much or speak nonsense, the emperor's anger will be directed upon them.
Previously, because of the incident involving spies in southern Xinjiang, many officials had their properties confiscated and their families exterminated.
At this moment, the ministers were all silent.
Even those who defected to the Fourth Prince did not dare to say anything.
Some people are also ready to return to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
They felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still the most stable. Seeing that he had made great achievements this time, the Crown Prince would be more popular among the people and more valued by the Emperor.
From the current situation, it is clear at a glance that the Emperor is satisfied with the Crown Prince but very dissatisfied with the Fourth Prince.
The emperor even disliked the fourth prince.
Therefore, only by joining the prince and working for him can everyone's position be secured in the future.
The only sound in the hall was the Fourth Prince's cry for justice.
The emperor said directly: "Come here, lock up the fourth prince in the Dali Temple. After all the truth is found out, he will be punished."
The emperor's words were golden. After sentencing the fourth prince, no matter how much the fourth prince cried out for injustice, he was taken out and imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
Without the emperor's order, the fourth prince would be useless.
Moreover, since the affairs of Southern Xinjiang and the previous dynasty were involved, no one dared to be loyal to the Fourth Prince.
Furthermore, if the thing that happened to Tutor Huo was done by the Fourth Prince, that would be terrible.
This shows that the Fourth Prince has no bottom line in doing things.
The Emperor originally wanted to grant a marriage between Yan Jiyou and Jiang Zhinian, but he had just sentenced the Fourth Prince, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.
"During the war in the north this time, the Huo family made contributions. Since the previous incidents were framed, the Huo family's crimes are not established. The Huo family is acquitted and no longer guilty..."
The emperor issued a series of imperial decrees.
The Huo family was pardoned for their crimes, but they still had to stay at the border. Old man Huo was appointed governor of Beizhou and governed the north.
The north is extremely cold, the environment is not good, the land is barren, and the grain yield is low. The grain supply in the north is not enough to support the soldiers.
The emperor had not been able to take care of the situation in the north before, but he was well aware of Mr. Huo’s abilities.
Let Mr. Huo govern the North, maybe the North can be governed well.
Moreover, with the Huo family in charge of civil affairs and the Wu family in charge of the military, the North might be able to be governed well.
The territory of Yan State was vast, and he had many places to manage, so he could not give too much support to Beizhou.
But the emperor knew Tutor Huo's abilities.
The main reason was that it was he who gave the order when the Huo family was exiled, to directly call people back, and the Huo family mansion no longer existed, so it was not easy to resettle them.
It would be better to be in Beizhou.
In a few years, he will be able to recall the Huo family back to the capital. By then, the situation will be better and he will be able to compensate the Huo family.
He doesn't want the situation to change drastically.
……
As for Jiang Zhinian, he returned to the Earl's Mansion and talked with the lady.
The lady held her hand and looked at her carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that she was okay.
Jiang Zhinian went to Jiangzhou, and the lady didn't sleep well, always worried about Jiang Zhinian.
Only when I saw Jiang Zhinian return safely did I feel relieved.
“They’ve all lost weight!”
“Grandma, I actually ate quite well, and I saw and learned a lot during my trip to Jiangzhou.”
She feels that the world outside is really vast.
Especially on the way back to Beijing, Yan Jiyou took her to visit and play in various places, and she felt very happy.
Perhaps because Yan Jiyou was by her side, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Madam Wei Ying looked at Jiang Zhinian's expression and could see a smile in her eyes.
She looked in good spirits, completely different from her previous state in Yongping Marquis Mansion.
It turns out that love can nourish people, and Yan Jiyou is really a good person and takes good care of Zhinian.
Madam Wei Ying is actually very relieved and satisfied with Yan Jiyou.
"You have made a contribution this time, the emperor will definitely reward you."
Jiang Zhinian said, "Grandmother, the prince asked the emperor for a favor before, saying that he wanted the emperor to grant us a marriage."
Jiang Zhinian told this to his grandmother before going to Jiangzhou.
The lady also understood the feelings between Yan Jiyou and Jiang Zhinian.
Both of them are willing to give for each other, which shows that there is true love between them.
The prince is like his mother, loyal and righteous. Even the Leng family of Duke Dingguo is a family that values loyalty and righteousness.
Wei Ying was also confident in the prince's character.
"Use this achievement to ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage. The prince has mentioned this matter before, and the emperor will agree."
The lady had some understanding of the emperor's temperament.
Although the emperor is old and somewhat suspicious now, he is still a wise ruler.
Moreover, the emperor will agree because of the friendship between the Wei family.
Hearing his grandmother say this, Jiang Zhinian's heart slowly settled down.
There will be a grand court meeting this morning, and Yan Jiyou will speak out in the court. She is actually still a little worried.
I was also a little distracted when talking to my grandmother.
But just as the grandfather and grandson were talking, the reward from the palace arrived.
The lady said, "Let's go. It's a good opportunity to see what the rewards in the palace are."
I don’t know if there is an imperial edict.
The lady knew that Jiang Zhinian cared about Yan Jiyou, and she also hoped to make this happen for her granddaughter.
