The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

But the Duke of Wei forgot that in such matters, honestly admitting guilt was the most correct choice.

His Majesty and Princess Chen'an do not want to spoil everyone's fun. Does the Duke of Wei also think there is nothing wrong with his family?

Shouldn't they have apologized immediately and detained Jiang Baihua?

It wasn't that the Duke of Wei hadn't thought of it, but rather that the series of events that came his way left him stunned.

At the same time, His Majesty's cooperation with the Princess also allowed the civil and military officials to see clearly the arrogance of the Duke of Wei.

Duke of Wei... is truly finished.

Emperor Kangwu laughed smugly, "Such a trivial matter requires prior discussion?"

"Chen An is very good at knowing how to handle things."

He would have a problem if he didn't spoil his granddaughter.

Grand Secretary Zhang glanced at Emperor Kangwu, who was grinning like a fox.

Princess Chen'an has no sense of propriety; she has done everything to His Majesty's liking.

His Majesty generously gave the Duke of Wei face, but the Duke of Wei didn't know how to take the opportunity to back down and even offered it up.

And so she really did take Jiang Baihua with her and left.

The Duke of Wei has become so arrogant that he looks down on everything and no longer cares about the law.

With a family like the Jiangs, it's only right that His Majesty strips them of their power!

This time... the Duke of Wei's family is doomed.

His Majesty and Princess Chen'an are working together so well that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're in cahoots.

Of course, Grand Secretary Zhang wouldn't be foolish enough to say it out loud.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the position of Crown Prince that Prince Rui was deposed from back then was truly something Prince Rui himself gave up.

Even though Prince Rui wasn't in that position, he still secretly made various arrangements.

Prince Rui can return to the position of Crown Prince at any time if he so desires.

Prince Rui is still the same Prince Rui, he hasn't changed at all.

Back when he was the crown prince, Prince Rui was already quite shrewd and ruthless, but everyone was deceived by his gentlemanly and upright appearance.

Without skill, how can one manage affairs in the court so effectively?

Emperor Kangwu exchanged a few jokes with Grand Secretary Zhang, all of which expressed his affection for Princess Chen'an.

Once he had finally finished speaking, they sent someone to escort Grand Secretary Zhang away.

Grand Secretary Zhang understood that His Majesty was showing off to someone else because he couldn't find anyone else to boast to.

His Majesty is not worried at all that Prince Rui will lose.

Not to mention that Prince Rui has never truly been silent all these years, he has only been lying low.

But anyone who actually thinks Prince Rui is an easy target is really courting death.

Grand Secretary Zhang tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, calculating the various forces at court.

He used to remain neutral, but now he can firmly support Prince Rui.

Prince Rui's abilities and methods are truly unparalleled.

Moreover, Princess Rui and Prince Rui's three children... none of them are simple.

Amused, Grand Secretary Zhang leaned back in the carriage, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling over the stone-paved street, and his heart settled down.

After Prince Rui ascends the throne, why worry about the stability of the country?

Grand Secretary Zhang was relieved, and Emperor Kangwu was happy... but the King of Wu was going crazy.

The King of Wu sat in his study with a gloomy expression, not even lighting a candle, his gaze fixed on the moon outside with a sinister look.

The moon tonight is not very bright and is occasionally obscured by dark clouds.

It remained bright and dark, just like the ever-changing mood of the King of Wu.

He had been making preparations for so long, and even specially sent Wei Yifeng to the border, all so that he could make meritorious contributions in this war and take over part of the Duke of Wei's military power.

That's right, he wasn't greedy; he knew the Duke of Wei's plans.

The Duke of Wei did this so that he could hand over his military power to Jiang Baihua.

He sent Wei Yifeng over so he could get a share of the profits!

He knew that Wei Yifeng, with his qualifications, couldn't take everything.

He had already conceded so much, yet Prince Rui was still going too far!

Even when others eat meat, they still leave a mouthful of soup.

Prince Rui, on the other hand, simply took the pot away!

"Fine, fine! So, Prince Rui! You're trying to force me to my death, aren't you?" King Wu slammed his fist on the table. "Then let's see who dies first!"

After this celebratory banquet, countless people tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

The next morning at court, many people had dark circles under their eyes and bloodshot eyes due to lack of sleep.

Emperor Kangwu, on the other hand, was in a very good mood and rewarded those who had contributed to the cause.

All the soldiers who made contributions on the battlefield were rewarded.

As for Jiang Baihua, Emperor Kangwu did not spare him either.

Out of respect for the Duke of Wei, he was spared death, but was instead sentenced to exile.

The Duke of Wei was also deceived, and Emperor Kangwu showed leniency by not stripping him of his title.

However, all military power was revoked.

In other words, the Duke of Wei's mansion will only have the title of nobility from now on, without any real power.

After the Duke of Wei passed away, no title could be inherited by his descendants.

The title of Duke of the State ended with the Duke of Wei.

If the descendants of the Duke of Wei want a title, they'd better work hard for it themselves.

The Duke of Wei knelt down to express his gratitude, and tears streamed down his face as he felt both moved and ashamed.

With the Duke of Wei's military power revoked, it naturally needed to be redistributed.

Jiang Zhongming was capable, but had been overlooked for so many years, so Emperor Kangwu naturally wanted to compensate him by directly handing over most of his military power to Jiang Zhongming.

The rest were distributed to other capable soldiers.

With such a major incident occurring on the Duke of Wei's side, the Jiang family is in complete chaos.

Even Wei Yifeng and Jiang Shuyi came over.

Wei Yifeng wasn't there to offer advice to Duke Wei and his group; he was there to hold them accountable.

"Grandfather, how could you not have noticed something so big?" Wei Yifeng was furious.

This time, he wanted to make a name for himself on the battlefield.

However, the one who always steals the spotlight is Jiang Baihua, oh no, it should be Jiang Zhongming wearing a mask.

As a result, his performance this time was mediocre, and he just shared the reward with everyone else.

There were no special rewards or honors at all.

Since he had not made any special contributions, the military power that Wei Guogong had given him naturally had nothing to do with him.

Looking back now, this was definitely a conspiracy by Prince Rui.

It was all to prevent him from gaining military power and to prevent the Wei family from rising again!

The Duke of Wei said coldly, "Whether you've figured it out or not is no longer important."

"The Chiang family has already paid the price they deserve."

Wei Yifeng immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "Grandfather, don't you have any ideas?"

"Many of those soldiers were your old subordinates."

He came here to see if the Duke of Wei could still make a effort.

"What old subordinates?" Duke Wei scoffed. "Those are all soldiers of the imperial court. How did they become mine?"

"Wei Yifeng, it's fine to say such things behind closed doors, but if others hear it outside, they might think you have rebellious intentions."

"It's okay if you suffer bad luck, but if you drag others down with you... you can't bear the consequences."

Wei Yifeng naturally understood the threat in the Duke of Wei's words. He stood up abruptly and said through gritted teeth, "I was originally thinking that if my grandfather had other ideas, I would lend a hand to prevent the Jiang family from falling into ruin."

"Looking back now, I was just being presumptuous. Goodbye!"
