The Empress Dowager settled accounts in the autumn and finally punished Prince Xiangyang.
Fortunately, it was not execution, just exile.
The selection of the new Emperor's candidate was brought up again in court.
The Empress Dowager, regent behind the curtain, looked sternly at the civil and military officials in the court, "Dear ministers, who can succeed to the throne?"
Prime Minister Pei, sitting in a wheelchair in the court, lowered his eyelids, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his heart.
The corner of his eye quietly glanced at Grand Tutor Jiang standing beside him, seeing Jiang standing without a word, eyes downcast, he also remained silent.
The candidate currently favored for the new Emperor was Prince Luling's family.
But he did not want Prince Luling to become the new Emperor; in-laws being too powerful was not a good thing.
He favored Prince Liuyang.
