Chapter 193 The dust has settled
In the palace, the night's commotion ended only at dawn.

The ministers of Jingzhou City came to the court in twos and threes, with sorrow in their eyes.

The emperor was seriously ill, and it seemed that no one had handled the affairs of state for a long time. Although they tried their best to operate according to the previous model, their abilities were ultimately limited.

"Who do you think can take on this important task in the current royal family?"

"If we talk about seniority, it should be Prince Yun Xian."

"No, Prince Yunxian was eliminated as a candidate for the throne by the late emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have been given the word 'Xian'."

"Alas, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a shining example, who else in the world can compare to him? It's a pity that God is jealous of talented people. If His Royal Highness is fine, why would we worry about such a trivial matter..."

"Hey, who said it wasn't!"

When everyone saw General Shen coming to court, they all kept silent. After all, General Shen had disappeared along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Shen must have been extremely sad.

Once the prince's candidate is chosen, General Shen's situation will be extremely embarrassing.

The ministers were standing in the hall as usual. When they saw the emperor arriving, they were surprised and knelt down to pay homage.

Looking at it from such a distance, the sickly look on the emperor's face seemed to have lessened.

Sitting on the dragon throne, his majesty is not diminished in the slightest.

Then, something that shocked the government and the public appeared before them.

The Crown Prince walked in from outside the palace step by step, his figure as graceful as a bamboo. His aura of a royal noble was so overwhelming that the ministers dared not act presumptuously.

Those ministers who were preparing to submit a memorial to the emperor requesting him to re-appoint a crown prince hurriedly hid the memorial in various places on their bodies, fearing that it would be discovered if they were a step behind.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound. The court officials are calm and composed, kneeling on the ground to pay homage to His Royal Highness and wish him a long life.

However, the court officials were somewhat puzzled and felt that today was just very strange, but they had not heard any rumors.

It was not until Prince Yunxian was dragged into the main hall that Eunuch Yuande announced the heinous crimes he had committed.

The deaths of the Crown Prince and General Shen Xiao, the death of the Emperor's eldest grandson, and the attempt to poison the Emperor were all caused by Prince Yun Xian.

Therefore, those old ministers who were planning to support Prince Yun Xian as the crown prince today were so ashamed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Several old warriors who hated evil were so angry that they took off their boots and smashed them on him. If they hadn't been held back, they would have kicked King Yun Xian in the face twice.

The civil officials were also filled with righteous indignation and swung the tablets in their hands to hit him in the face. Although they were stopped, Prince Yun Xian still received several blows.

"How can you be so cruel, you bastard?"

"Such a vicious act is simply intolerable to heaven. It's ridiculous that you still want to be an emperor or king. It's simply a foolish dream..."

"You are not worthy of being a Southern Qin citizen. You have brought shame to tens of thousands of Southern Qin citizens. The royal ancestors will also be ashamed of you..."

"I beg the emperor to severely punish Prince Yun Xian and give an explanation to the people of Southern Qin."

"Punish King Yun Xian severely and restore peace and prosperity to Southern Qin!"

The emperor looked at the excited courtiers in the court, stood up from the dragon throne, glanced at Prince Yun Xian on the ground, and pointed out the names of several officials in the court.

They were all people who had close contacts with King Yun Xian in secret, and they participated in planning this rebellion.

The ministers knelt on the ground with pale faces, their official uniforms on the backs were wet with cold sweat. They begged bitterly and told their difficulties.

Unfortunately, the emperor was not fooled by their words at all. He waved his hand and dragged them away, confiscated their property and exiled them. As for Prince Yun Xian, the ministers could not predict how severely the emperor would punish them. After all, they were half brothers.

The emperor did not care about blood ties and issued an order: "The royal family member, Prince Yunxian Wei Jinyu, will have his surname removed and be demoted to a commoner. His crimes will be announced to the world and he will be executed on a chosen day."

The court was completely silent, with only the wailing of Prince Yun Xian echoing in the hall.

Unfortunately, no one in the court sympathized with his situation. They kowtowed to the emperor for his righteousness, which was a blessing for all the people in the world and a rare wise ruler.

After adjourning the court, the emperor kept Wei Qingye in the Qianqing Palace for a detailed discussion, wanting to know what exactly happened that day.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not hide anything and recounted the events of that day in detail. They discovered the enemy's secret flaws, deduced the conspiracy of Prince Yun Xian and the people behind him, and took advantage of the enemy's tactics.

Let Prince Yun Xian and others believe that the plan has succeeded, and then start to carry out the next plan, but they don't know that their plans are secretly controlled by the prince and Shen Hongfeng.

"You and the Shen family kid are really amazing. You even tricked me into going in. If Zhizhi hadn't noticed the conspiracy here, your son, who was only a hundred days old, would have really been killed.

When that time comes, you will cry!"

Wei Qingye: "I didn't expect that she could notice this, and I wanted to send someone to remind her.

Later, didn't I ask the people from the Royal Dragon Division to cooperate with her?"

The emperor recalled that when he was unconscious, the crown princess used silver needles to help him detoxify, and he laid out his speculations one by one.

If he didn't know that she was the daughter of the Shen family, he would have suspected that the person in front of him was the prince's daughter disguised as a man to deliberately deceive him.

The way she spoke and behaved was somewhat similar to that of the brat in front of her.

"How dare you say that? It's already this late. I was thinking about finding your mother and apologizing to her for not taking good care of you, my little bastard!"

Wei Qingye knew he was in the wrong, so he knelt down and said, "It is my unfilial behavior that has caused my father to worry. But the situation was critical at the time, and I could not let out any rumors. Otherwise, I would not be able to uproot the rotten tree of the aristocratic family along with Prince Yun Xian, and they would continue to harm the Southern Qin State."

The emperor took a sip of the tea in his hand and said, "Didn't you tell Zhizhi anything?"

Wei Qingye remained silent.

The emperor raised his hand to cover his chest and sneered: "Who did you take this temper from?"

He had a stern face every day, and some people thought someone owed him millions of gold! When he succeeded to the throne smoothly, the poor civil and military officials who followed him to the morning court every day would probably be so scared that they dared not even breathe.

ε=(ο`*)))Alas, he is already this old, why does he still think so much?

"Alright, alright, go back and check on those two kids! You, their father, have not been around since they were born. It's a pity that they have to suffer all these storms at such a young age.

And Zhizhi, as a woman, seemed to be able to handle these things with ease and without showing any fear, but it didn't mean that she felt good about it.

I will ask the imperial physician to come over later to check the pulses of your family of four and check their physical conditions."

Last night, Wei Qingye was busy dealing with the treason. He never closed his eyes, nor did he look at Shen Zhiyu again, nor did he return to Weiyang Palace.

Now that everything has been settled, it's time for him to go back and rest.

Wei Qingye lowered his eyes to hide the thoughts surging in his eyes, "Yes, father has been working hard for many days, so you should rest early. Your health is the most important thing."
