Lian Shang's beloved son's heart ached. Xuan Ye made an exception and bestowed the child's name.

The previous dynasty's crown prince had died, and he had reported the rebellion to the capital's military chief.

By the time Tuohai entered the palace, Xuan Ye had already regained his calm expression. Because you are the emperor, and only when you are calm, will the subjects be at ease. If you panic, the subject will be even more anxious than you are, Xuan Ye thought bitterly.

”Chén Tuhai pays his respects to Your Majesty.” Toohey had been called forward for some reason.

”Tu Hai, how is it going with the arrest of the Third Prince of Zhu?” Xuan Ye asked in a low voice.

”Reporting to the Emperor, this court official was about to report this matter this morning. The case of Crown Prince Zhu San involves more than two thousand rebels and their relatives.” Toohey quickly replied when he saw that the emperor was asking about the case.

”Excluding relatives, how many people are directly involved in the rebellion? ”How does the Ministry of Justice negotiate with these people?” Xuan Ye pondered for a moment before asking.

”As far as the Emperor is concerned, 208 people have been directly involved in the conspiracy, and according to the law of the Great Qing, they shall be punished with the crime of rebellion, and shall be sentenced to death at a very late stage, and the crime shall be the execution of their relatives, and their relatives from their grandfather to their children, fathers, sons, sons, brothers, and cohabitants, regardless of their surname, and the sons of their uncles and brothers, and the sons of all men under the age of sixteen and above; the men under the age of fifteen, and the wives, wives, sisters, and property of the offender shall be taken into office.” Tu Hai lowered his head and reported.

”According to your words, Prince Zhu San's case is going to be executed over a thousand people?” Xuan Ye said while looking at Tu Hai.

”Reporting to your majesty, according to the law of great clarity, this is the case.” Toohey did not know what the Emperor meant.

”That Third Prince Zhu Qilong still hasn't been captured?” Xuan Ye lowered his head in thought.

”Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject and others are useless.” Tu Hai quickly knelt on the ground and said.

”Stand up. It's not like I'm blaming you.” Xuan Ye continued to ask, ”Can you confirm that this person is the previous dynasty's crown prince?”

”This... ”Your majesty, we dare not make up our minds. After all, the previous dynasty has been destroyed a long time ago. If we do not capture this man, it would be hard to determine if he is the previous dynasty's crown prince.” Tu Hai said hesitantly.

Xuan Ye thought for a long time, raised his head and said, ”Tu Hai, the case of Crown Prince Zhu has made the people of the capital flustered. Now that we have arrested more than two thousand people, what will the people of the capital think? The Imperial Court will think that they are afraid, Tu Hai, and you will pass on my orders to the Ministry of Justice. The chaos in the capital this time around was caused by the jobless Yang Qilong under the guise of the Crown Prince of the previous dynasty, agitating the people of the capital in order to gain personal benefits and escape on his own, ignoring the lives of those who listened to his orders. All the rebels who participated in the rebellion were sentenced to death without delay for the leader, and all the accomplices were sentenced to death for graciousness, and all the relatives of the criminals were released for graciousness, so that they could live their lives peacefully at home and not be bewitched by any thieves anymore. ”

”Your majesty the Emperor!” Tu Hai hurriedly cupped his hands together and said when he heard Xuan Ye's words.
