Before Prince Chu returned to the capital city, a shocking event unfolded that shook the entire royal court. The Princess of Annan accused Prince Zheng of committing heinous acts, including the wanton murder of innocent lives, forcibly seizing women and men, usurping the land of the common people, plundering their wealth, and indulging his subordinates in acts of arson, murder, and looting, leaving his fiefdom's populace in dire straits and devastation.
The Princess of Annan presented each charge against Prince Zheng with witnesses and evidence, all of which were irrefutable. These evidences were brought from Prince Zheng's fiefdom. At that moment, several commoners knelt in the royal court, each with their heads bruised from bowing, imploring the emperor to deliver justice for them.
