During this period of time, nothing happened in the imperial court because Li Xuzhi and Xia Chiwan were isolated from the world.
In fact, the most eye-catching thing is that the uncle of the seventh prince's seventh concubine actually practiced favoritism, bought an official position privately, deceived his subordinates and concealed his superiors. The crimes he committed were all heinous crimes, and they were enough to confiscate his family and behead him.
As soon as this incident was exposed, there was no doubt that a huge boulder was thrown into a quiet lake, shocking the fish and crabs.
The reputation that the Seventh Prince worked so hard to win was really destroyed in one day.
You want to ask why?
When people do these bad things, they use the name of the Seventh Prince and say that they are the Seventh Prince's uncle. They hold important positions in the court and are protected by the Seventh Prince.
So, who doesn’t sell his face?
Just because the Seventh Prince has become more and more popular among the people recently, there are not many people who dare to go against the Seventh Prince.
Of course, the seventh prince's "uncle" knew very well when he did bad things.
As soon as this matter was exposed, the emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation and ordered the seventh prince to meditate behind closed doors.
The seventh prince is not allowed to leave his mansion until the truth comes to light.
Therefore, as soon as this incident happened, the emperor did not even give the seventh prince a chance to defend himself.
In fact, the emperor was really angry about this matter.
For the sake of the throne of the Emperor, of course the Emperor knows what his capable sons will do.
Regarding these matters, the emperor has always adopted a laissez-faire attitude.
After all, this position should indeed be filled by those who are capable.
Even if he has his eye on Xiao Fifteen, if someone can still get that position under such circumstances, it is because of this son's ability.
However, what the emperor will never tolerate is for his sons to do things that harm the foundation of the country for the sake of the emperor's throne.
No matter how the tax is imposed, it should be an internal matter.
But when this matter involves national affairs, it is completely different.
Since ancient times, officials have been selected on the basis of merit.
If the important positions in the Great Zhou Kingdom were occupied by some money-spending guys, how could this country survive forever?
Therefore, how can the emperor be lenient on this matter that has touched the foundation of the country?
Moreover, by buying out his official title, do you think you are the second Xia Boran?
Xia Boran's situation was special, so he didn't kill Xia Boran, but he only temporarily placed Xia Boran's head on Xia Boran's body.
To put it bluntly, one day, he will still take off Xia Boran's head.
But his own son also made such an unforgivable mistake.
At that moment, the emperor was furious. He even complained angrily to the seventh prince directly in the court, saying that the seventh prince was unworthy and was a disgrace to the people. He made the seventh prince think about his mistakes!
As soon as this incident came out, the people on the Seventh Prince's side were naturally panicked.
Once this matter was dug out, it was conceivable that the land at the Meridian Gate would be stained with blood again.
Of course, when the seventh prince made a fool of himself, the prince was happy to watch the seventh prince's show.
The seventh prince was humiliated when he went to court. On the way back, he remained silent and gloomy.
After the seventh prince returned to his mansion, the first thing he did was to visit the seventh princess.
The fair little face of the seventh imperial concubine lost a trace of blood and became pale. Her eyes were wet, and she looked extremely pitiful.
