The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

Chu Wang was resolute and decisive, and he solved cases quickly. He reported directly to the emperor, so many hurdles were easy for him to pass, such as interrogating the prime minister's nephew. He could completely ignore the prime minister's face and whip the nephew in front of him.

The interrogation did not go smoothly at the beginning. When those things were found in the tent, the prime minister's nephew was still stubborn, but the prime minister was gone. He knew his nephew's character and ordered him to confess.

Only in this way will he not be implicated.

Chu Wang looked at the prime minister with a mocking look, but the prime minister remained motionless and knelt before the emperor to plead guilty. His nephew was taken into the tent.

Upon seeing the emperor, the man's arrogance disappeared. He knew that the prime minister had given up on him. He fell to the ground, trembling, and confessed everything he had done.

"It is my fault for not educating my children well and causing fear to Your Majesty and the Fifth Prince. I am willing to be punished." Prime Minister Wang's face was pale and he was crying, like a good minister who was worried about his monarch.

The emperor did not speak immediately. He turned the jade ring on his thumb with a gloomy expression.

He asked the Prime Minister: "According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, what punishment do you think should be given?"

"To murder the royal family... all nine generations of the clan should be executed." The prime minister lowered his head.

The prime minister's nephew took the opportunity to say, "I just don't like my half-brother, and I didn't expect it to cause such a disaster. This is my fault alone, and it has nothing to do with my uncle!"

The prime minister slapped him in the face in public, causing bleeding at the corner of his nephew's mouth.

"It is my fault. If I do not take precautions, others will surely follow suit in the future."

The virtuous concubine on the side bit her fingers nervously, "It's over, it's all over..."

The maid behind her pushed her and said, "My queen, you should share the responsibility with them."

The virtuous concubine stared at the palace maid in disbelief. When she met her dark eyes, she calmed down a lot. She lifted her skirt and knelt beside the prime minister.

"I am also guilty of not teaching my brother well."

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the prime minister: "My dear, you are fifty-three this year, right?"

The Prime Minister said, "Yes."

The emperor said solemnly: "I think you are so busy with government affairs that you have neglected your family affairs. It would be better for you to suspend your duties for three months and teach your family and descendants more."

The Prime Minister's face turned even paler, "Yes."

.......

The final result was not satisfactory. The nephew was imprisoned, the prime minister was suspended from office, and the virtuous concubine was stripped of her title and banished to the cold palace. For the prime minister's family, this was the lightest punishment. It was a good deal to exchange the official position in the court for the life of the entire family.

At the same time, the prime minister also knew the emperor's intention of torturing him. No matter how high his position and power were, he could not bypass the royal family. This was the emperor's warning to him.

Although he was suspended for three months, these three months were enough time for the atmosphere in the court to change. When he was reinstated, the emperor could find any reason to let him retire.

But the emperor still needs his power, and it's time for him to choose a successor.

.......

Jiang Nanxi felt a little sad when she heard what Fen Tao reported to her.

How glorious Concubine Xian was in the past, but now she is in such a miserable state. When she was young, she sent many concubines to the cold palace. Now she has no children, so she is sent there herself.

The cold palace is a torturous place. It is a place where one experiences both physical and mental torture. One does not know how many years one will age.

Fen Tao was a little confused: "Is the Prime Minister's nephew so stupid? Why did he keep the medicine?"

Jiang Nanxi picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. "Who knows?"

If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Even Fen Tao could find out. Doesn't the emperor know that? Doesn't General Chu know that?

The crime was not the main thing, but to bring down Prime Minister Wang. The strange thing was that the Prime Minister's nephew chose to embarrass his half-brother at this time, and now the whole family was almost buried with him.

Although Prime Minister Wang has won a reputation for being righteous, whether he feels happy about it or not is something only he knows.

"Fentao, peel some melon seeds for me." Jiang Nanxi leaned on the couch, feeling very comfortable.

Fen Tao said, "Master, if you eat any more you will get angry."

Jiang Nanxi didn't care: "Isn't there something to relieve internal heat?"

The senior palace maid was standing by and brought over the freshly peeled fruit. She picked up a bamboo skewer, picked up a piece and put it to her lips.

Jiang Nanxi patted the head maid on the shoulder and raised his chin towards Fen Tao who was peeling melon seeds beside him: "See, this is good eyesight. You have followed me for so long, but you still follow the housekeeper."

Fen Tao pouted and said, "Sister Yan Gui, please don't spoil the master. She got a stomachache a few days ago because of eating too much."

Yan Gui had a cold face, but softened a little when facing Jiang Nanxi, "Nothing, I'll be watching."

......

After so many things happened, the emperor lost interest in hunting and went straight back to Beijing.

This winter is exceptionally cold. Snow is a sign of a good harvest, but the air is extremely dry and there is no sign of snow at all.

Throughout the winter, there were a few light snowfalls, followed by a colder winter. There were few people on the streets during the day, and people only came out for a walk in the evening.

The red lanterns were blown away by the cold wind and rolled around on the ground.

The young man was wearing a black cloak, standing under the eaves, looking at the foggy sky in the distance.

The North is in chaos again.
