But if it's just some tea, salt, grain, cloth, etc., the key point is that Ouyang Consort also smuggled a lot of pig iron, this problem is very serious!

Princess Jinyang was the daughter of a popular concubine Liu. When the late emperor was still alive, Princess Jinyang was considered a princess favored by the Holy Spirit.

It's a pity that His Majesty and Princess Jinyang no longer have any affection at all.

According to seniority, Jinyang should be named the eldest princess, but His Majesty did not.

This princess's daily living expenses are quite luxurious, and she also owns a large area of ​​fertile land in the Zhili area.

In fact, when the new emperor didn't make her the eldest princess, she should have known that she should restrain herself, but instead of restraining her luxurious life style, this princess became even more extravagant.

The Prince Consort himself was also used to extravagance.

In order to maintain expenses, the couple could only continue the smuggling business. They thought that the new emperor would turn a blind eye like the old emperor.

But the emperor learned that the consort was engaged in smuggling business in the north, and even involved iron tools. Of course, he would not let them go. He immediately arrested the consort and asked Jiang Yuanchao to intervene in the investigation, and finally confirmed the fourth prince Li Min's statement.

The emperor personally issued an order for Ouyang's consort to reconcile with Princess Jinyang, and sentenced Ouyang's consort to Qiuhou. He also confiscated Princess Jinyang's princess mansion, and demoted the princess of Jinyang to the title of county lord, allowing this fellow consort to be married.

The half-sister and her children lived in the palace with Concubine Liu.

The place where the concubines in the palace lived was much cramped and cramped compared to her original princess mansion, but Jinyang dared not speak out when she was angry. She was also involved in the smuggling, and the emperor's brother was already too generous to let her live.

They raided the Jinyang Princess's Mansion and confiscated nearly 800,000 taels of silver. They also confiscated nearly 18,000 acres of fertile land in the Zhili area. The emperor praised the old man very much at the court meeting and directly gave the Jinyang Princess Mansion to him.

He gave the fourth prince Li Min his palace, and also rewarded the fourth prince with 60,000 taels of silver.

Li Min was extremely happy. With this money, he could purchase the betrothal gift for his concubine.

However, he hasn't told Fang Liu about his plan yet.

In comparison, the second prince Li Yi is the most useless.

At first, he didn't want to offend anyone, so he deliberately didn't investigate, but later when he saw his brothers receiving awards from his father one after another, he couldn't sit still.

He thought that cases of corruption and land misappropriation were easy to investigate, as long as he investigated them accurately. However, in the past so many years, after the murders of His Highness the Fourth, His Highness the Fifth, and His Highness the Sixth, the officials in the court, including the royal family,

Dear, start cleaning up for yourself early.

By the time Li Yi started to take action, people had already whitewashed the situation. How could it be so easy for him to get hold of the evidence that would warrant him confiscating his house and exterminating his family?

But he found other ways to make money.

Although it is not easy to find substantive evidence, you can always get some gossip, and you can use these things to blackmail someone!

Today's officials and clan members are frightened by the few princes who serve as censors. Who hasn't had some dirty things in their family?

The Second Highness held two Bodhi beads in his hand and came to the door with a smile to tell some rumors. The wise man immediately took out the gold ingots and silver notes to eliminate the disaster.

In this way, Li Yi finally got some pocket money, and finally asked Meng Yuyan to start looking at houses in Beijing.
