Chapter 332 Yan Li, I Will Never Forgive You!

Because of the arrival of the Southern Feather King, the prophecy that the eldest princess is the true phoenix returning seemed to have been confirmed and became more and more indestructible.

The emperor and empress were extremely busy in the next few days.

Of course, the six ministries of the Central Government are also very busy, especially the Ministry of Punishment.

The case of the Yanling Kang family came to an end, and the final result was that the evidence was conclusive. However, considering the great impact, the queen only dealt with the direct descendants of the Kang family and did not involve the nine clans.

All the officials, in-laws, and Pang clan members involved with the Kang family heaved a long sigh of relief, as if their lives had been saved from death.

Suddenly, praises came from all directions, thanking the Emperor and the Empress for their grace, and thanking the Emperor for his great kindness.

The civil and military ministers of the DPRK have obviously become more diligent in their work, and the atmosphere in the imperial capital has also improved a lot. In the family's official residence, they have restrained themselves from speaking evil words to women and frequently using vulgar and angry words and deeds.

Therefore, the major brothels, goulan, and gambling houses in the imperial capital were also affected, and there were obviously many fewer customers at night.

At this juncture, everyone restrained their words and deeds for fear of being targeted by the eldest princess. Not only would they lose their official positions and be dismissed, but they would also implicate the lives of the whole family. It was really not worth the loss.

On the day when the Kang family was beheaded at the Meridian Gate, there were many people watching.

Yan Chen broke countless tea cups and porcelain in his new palace. He was so angry that the entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of low pressure, as if the dark clouds before the storm were heavy and gloomy.

"Yan Li, you and I are sworn in!" The sound of gnashing teeth was squeezed out from between the teeth, with a cold murderous intent.

"Second Highness, please be patient." A man stood in the shadows. His appearance and age could not be clearly seen. "The more this time is, the more important it is to remain calm."

"How can you keep me calm?!" Yan Chen was furious, and his emotions were obviously on the verge of losing control. "I have worked hard for so many years, but it was destroyed in an instant after she came! The power of the Kang family was uprooted, and the Rong family My military power has been taken away, tell me, what should I do?"

The man who stayed in the shadows said in a very calm tone: "Your Highness, do you think being angry is useful?"

Yan Chen closed his eyes hard, his face was livid, and his breathing was rapid.

"The emperor and the queen are in their prime, and they will not abdicate within three or two years. As long as the emperor lives safely until his death, His Highness will still have the opportunity to take back everything." The man said lightly, "The eldest princess is in the limelight now, and we can't follow her. A head-on confrontation. General Rong's military power was taken away because he acted too impulsively. Even if his military power is not taken away today, it will not be useful in the future. "

Yan Chen said coldly: "Even if it is not useful, having military power in your hands gives you confidence. Now that I have nothing, what bargaining chip do I have to compete with her?"

"Your Highness is wrong to think so." The man disagreed, "Not only are you a prince in the court, but the eldest prince also holds a lot of chips. The eighth prince is supported by Concubine De's natal family. They are also your competitors, and they are now. The eldest princess’s rival.”m.

Yan Chen looked gloomy but said nothing.

"Having nothing will stop people from being afraid of you. The next thing His Highness needs to do is to go out and walk around frequently, build a good relationship with the powerful men of the imperial capital, and learn to be more approachable."

Yan Chen sat down on the chair without saying a word, and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows: "Those powerful young men have no military power, no financial power, and they can't influence the government. What's the use of having a good relationship with them?"

"Of course it is useful. Although they themselves have no military or financial power, their grandfathers or fathers were officials in the court. Those who are good at reading will inevitably become officials in the future, and those who are good at martial arts will most likely join the army."

Yan Chen understood what he meant and finally calmed down: "So I need to start all over again?"

"If my subordinates' predictions are correct, the eldest prince should be implicated in the Qi family case, and an imperial edict will be issued soon. Losing military power and financial support is not terrible. What is terrible is being demoted to a commoner. Even the prince The identity no longer exists.”

Because after being demoted to a commoner, he will be imprisoned in that palace forever, without even the freedom to enter and exit the gate, let alone the chance to turn defeat into victory.

What qualifications does a commoner have to compete for the throne?

Yan Chen thought for a while, and his expression finally softened, but with a bit of self-mockery: "So I should be glad now that I have not been demoted to a commoner?"

The man ignored this sentence and continued: "Although being crowned a prince is equivalent to losing the qualifications to be a prince, moving out of the palace will make it easier for the prince to do things in the future."

Yan Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

That's true.

"But we can't be too hasty. We should keep a low profile for a while and wait until the eldest princess has eradicated all the influence of the fourth prince. For now, we just need to quietly watch the changes and quietly win over the young masters from the aristocratic families."

Yan Chen was silent for a while, secretly thinking that this was all he could do for the time being, otherwise what else could he do?

The entire court was turned upside down by that little bitch Yan Li, and everyone who opposed her paid the price.

With the lessons learned from the Yanling Kang family, the Imperial Rong family and the Qi family, no one will dare to try the law again in the next period of time.

He would wait to see how she would make trouble.
