Chapter 7 — The Emperor Only Has One Daughter

Not paying attention to the queen's cries, he just coldly ordered:

“Vuong Thanh Nguyen.”

In the row of officials, a middle-aged man wearing a dark red official robe suddenly stiffened, it was Minister Lai - Vuong Thanh Nguyen. He slowly walked out, knelt down:

“God… is present.”

“Ly Duc, show the things to Lord Vuong.”

Ly Duc accepted the order, brought down a brocade box from the tray, and gave it to Vuong Thanh Nguyen. He trembled and opened it. Inside was a stack of letters and an ordinary white jade brooch. The writing in the letter — he couldn't be more familiar with it. Those were the love poems he wrote for To Thi when he was a teenager, which were the seal of engagement between them. Clear evidence. Vuong Thanh Nguyen's face immediately lost a drop of blood and collapsed speechless. The Queen also became speechless when she saw that brooch, her whole body seemed to be drained of vitality. She... is done. Completely done. Trieu Dien stood up, his voice echoed throughout Thai Mieu square.

"Queen To Thi, unbecoming leader of the army, taking advantage of things as her goal, causing chaos in the harem, an unforgivable crime!"

“From now on, abolish the posthumous position, be imprisoned in Phuong Nghi palace, without decree, not allowed to go out!”

"Crown Prince Trieu Hien, not my bloodline, abolish the crown prince's position, demote him to a commoner, and along with Vuong Thanh Nguyen, send him to heaven!"

At this point, the wildest drama since Dai Thinh founded the country has officially ended. The emperor's twelve "children", excluding me, were completely destroyed. Trieu Dien stood on the stage, hugged me, faced the civil and military mandarins and the dumbfounded royal family below, slowly declaring word by word:

“From today, Princess Ninh An — Trieu Ninh An — is my only child.”

“She... will be Dai Thinh's only heir.”

As soon as this sentence ended, the whole school was shocked. Everyone looked at Trieu Dien with eyes like looking at a crazy person. Make a little girl… your successor? What kind of joke is that? But looking at the pile of "evidence" piled up like a mountain beside the dragon's chair, and the emperor's murderous eyes, no one dared to object. I lay in Trieu Dien's arms, listening to that earth-shattering announcement, and I was stunned. 【Oh my god? The old man is playing such a big game?】 【All of a sudden he made me his successor? Is it going a little too fast?】 【But... it seems to be really nice.】 I felt his arms - strong, warm - for the first time, a genuine admiration was born in my heart towards this father. He... is taking the whole world and making a path for us to walk.

Dismiss the crown prince, imprison the queen, and purge almost the entire harem. Trieu Dien's fierce tricks made everyone terrified. But that's just the beginning. A big storm originating from the harem is gradually spreading to the front dynasty, taking shape day by day. Behind the ousted princes and concubines, there are intricately intertwined family powers. Commander of the Imperial Army Truong Uy, Grand Academician Ly Thua An, Minister of Lai Vuong Thanh Nguyen... each of them were important figures in the court. Not to mention there are also noble families that hold military power. They are absolutely not willing to die without a trumpet or a drum. Sure enough, three days after the grand ceremony at Thai Mieu, at the morning adoration, a group of literati led by the royal historian simultaneously offered music. They shed tears, trying to expose the emperor for being bewitched by a "demon girl", harming his children, killing his grandchildren, shaking the nation's roots, and imploring the emperor to "be gentle and watchful, to eliminate the demon girl". The spear pointed straight at me — a baby not even a month old. Trieu Dien sat on the long chair, quietly listening to the eloquent arguments of the ministers. I was lying on the specially made bed next to him, yawning and yawning, feeling sleepy and dying. 【It's so noisy, these old guys, they're old but still a bit long.】 【Thanh quan trac? It sounds so sublime, but seeing that the interests are being affected, I can't help but struggle, I want to rebel.】 【Don't be afraid, old man, these guys are paper tigers, if you look at them, you won't tear them if you poke them lightly.】 Trieu Dien's eyes flickered. 【The head royal historian, who preaches integrity all day, actually raises three concubines in the house, and even secretly sleeps with his daughter-in-law. It's so disgusting that I want to vomit.】 【The person standing on the left - the Infantry maid - is the kind of wind that changes direction, on the surface, following along, in fact, he already wants to lean towards your side, give him the ladder, make sure to climb down right away.】 【As for that old Minister of Household Affairs, his house is over five thousand acres of real estate, the evidence is in the black box on the third floor on the left side of your study, one look and you will be exposed immediately.】 I am guilty. Yawning while mentally "livestreaming report". Being the emperor and having me as an inside man, is truly setting up Kim Thu Chi. The corner of Trieu Dien's mouth curled up more and more. Waiting for the group of ministers to talk until their mouths were dry and their tongues were burning, he slowly opened his mouth:

“Friends, are you done talking?”

Seeing that the king was not angry, the ministers became even more courageous and called out in unison:

“Please, Your Majesty, eliminate the demon girl and leave the world alone!”

Trieu Dien nodded.

“Okay, you guys have agreed that I was bewitched by a demon girl, so I... give you an explanation.”

He clapped his hands. Page Nguyet Hoa Pavilion Outside the palace, the forbidden army rushed in, capturing all those who screamed the loudest.

“Your Majesty, what are you doing?!”

The royal historian was both angry and afraid. Trieu Dien smiled coldly:

"Don't you want to clear the army? I'm here, help you clear!"

On the spot, he ordered to expose the scandal of sleeping with the royal historian's daughter-in-law, and immediately dismissed the investigator. He brought out evidence of land embezzlement from the Minister of Household Affairs and pushed him straight to prison. Then he turned to the Infantry maid - his face was pale - and smiled gently:

"Ly Thi Lang, the other day you gave your report on the regulation of waterway transportation. It was very reasonable. I accept it and give you full authority to take charge."
