It was precisely because the emperor had made preparations that Lord Wei and Xia Chiwan dared to "cut down" the Duke's Mansion and uproot it.
However, after seeing the emperor's strength, Xia Chiwan had a question in his mind.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor's desire to get rid of the Duke's Mansion is no longer a matter of one day and night.
As far as the people arranged by the emperor are concerned, the emperor has been planning for at least five years.
If this is the case, then why in the previous life, the Duke's Mansion, which had colluded with Hong Zhilian, was not eradicated by the emperor, and even sat in the high hall and enjoyed all the glory?
Based on the preparations the emperor has made, if the emperor does not want the prince to ascend the throne, the emperor still has a way.
After all, Princess Jing and Lord Wei can all help the emperor.
Xia Chiwan thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he thought that maybe something had changed in this life because of his rebirth.
Although Xia Chiwan didn't make a rough guess, Xia Chiwan basically guessed it.
In his previous life, Hong Zhilian, who was an enemy's spy, had been hiding in the Zhou Kingdom and even used Yun Qiuqin to do tricks in the city of Kyoto.
You know, at that time, Xia Boran was still the respected Prime Minister, and Yun Qiuqin became the Prime Minister's wife.
With these two identities as cover, Yun Qiuqin helped Hong Zhilian do things, and naturally got twice the result with half the effort.
As early as ten years ago, Hong Zhilian and Yun Qiuqin had placed spies in Lord Wei's mansion.
In this life, because of Xia Chiwan, these informants were removed one by one, and not a single one was left.
Unfortunately, in his previous life, Sir Wei did not have such good luck.
At that time, Xia Chiwan did not care about Lord Wei and his family. After Yun Qiuqin secured her position as the prime minister's wife, she followed Hong Zhilian's order to deal with Lord Wei and Princess Jing.
There is a problem with the "family child" at home, and Sir Wei is unable to prevent it.
In her previous life, the fifteenth prince died young. Without the fifteenth prince, Princess Jing lost the power to "fight" and her life was just muddling along.
Because of this, the two inviolable figures in this life became cannon fodder in the schemes of Hong Zhilian and Yun Qiuqin in the previous life.
Even Lord Wei, like Princess Jing, lost his life inexplicably before he knew who was the real murderer of him.
In the previous life, the fifteenth prince died young, and the emperor had no suitable candidate, leaving the prince to fight with the seventh prince.
In the later stage, Lord Wei was poisoned by Hong Zhilian. As time went by, his life was not in danger for the time being, but it was a pity that his life would not be long.
Naturally, the emperor was dissatisfied with the Duke's Mansion and wanted to eradicate it. Without Duke Wei and Princess Jing, of course he would not be able to do anything.
Even if the emperor trained so many talents, in the end they would not be able to reach the position of those in the Duke's Mansion.
In short, the fifteenth prince has a great influence on these people.
When Xia Chiwan saved the fifteenth prince's life, many things had changed immediately.
As soon as the Duke's mansion was removed, most of the entire court was immediately cleared.
As for Xia Boran's power, it had long been wiped out by Lord Wei.
Now, in the imperial court, only Guojiuye's force is unable to support itself.
After removing the cancer in the Duke's Mansion, the Emperor has been sleeping much more peacefully recently.
At least he knew that when he handed over the country of Great Zhou to Xiao Fifteen, Xiao Fifteen would have nothing to worry about.
