Chapter 655: The Xia Family Folds Its Wings


What a person the emperor, as soon as he heard that Xia Huachun and Yang Zhongxiao were dead in prison, he knew what was going on, and picked up the fold and threw it to Hu Gong, "Read it, read it out and let everyone listen to it" Gonggong Hu respectfully agreed, and then picked up the fold and read it word by word.

Dagger starter This Gonggong Hu has obviously practiced, and he pronounced the words clearly and his voice was loud, so that everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

A lot of officials are doing well, what is written in this Wang An's recital, it makes the emperor look like this, at this time, I can't help but gasp, there is still such a place in the land of Dachu, and there are such rebellious officials, it is really a misfortune for the country After listening to this recital, many old ministers couldn't help it, and came out to scold Yang Zhongxiao and his wife, as well as those Binzhou officials, but there were still a few people who said the Xia family, because Chu Ziheng's recital only vaguely mentioned the Xia family, but everyone could understand it However, some people have come out to question that this is just one side of King An's words, and there is no evidence.

The emperor directly took out a copy of the account book that Chu Ziheng had given, and also threw it to Hu Gonggong to "read, pick up important thoughts" King Zhao was frightened when he saw this, Xia Huafeng and Xia Huaxiang were even more "chuckled", if the emperor read out this account book in public, then wouldn't his Xia family lose face, because the things written in this account book should be inseparable from the Xia family, wouldn't this become a huge stain on the good reputation that his Xia family has always maintained.

It seems that this emperor is really angry this time, and he doesn't plan to let go of his Xia family easily Hu Gonggong read a few articles, and the noodles were all written about the year and month of the people, how much fat and ointment were received, and when and where it was sent to the Xia family The eyes of the courtiers all looked at the Zhenguo brothers, some were disdainful, some were mocking, some were watching a good show, and some were worried It is the people of the Xia family who are worried.

They all relied on the Xia family to gain a foothold in the court, and they were not so much worried about the Xia family as they were worried about their own future Now that they have all hid themselves in the corner to reduce their existence, the officials who were clamoring to impeach Chu Ziheng just now also shut up and retreated quietly, not daring to say another word.

Hu Gonggong read a few after that.

Xia Huafeng stood up and knelt on the ground and shouted, "The emperor is guilty" This Xia Huaxiang also knelt on the ground in due time.

The mouth is also guilty.

Being fooled by them like this interrupted Gonggong Hu's rhythm, and his words stopped.

Xia Huafeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He deliberately interrupted this Hu Gonggong, if he let Hu Gonggong read it one by one, then his Xia family would be slapped a few times in public, and what face would there be in the future "Oh.

Zhenguo Gong, what are you guilty of?"

the emperor asked implicitly and majestically.

"It's the subordinates who have no way to discipline them.

Let the following people do such a big rebellious thing, the minister is guilty," Xia Huafeng said.

Chu Ziheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, this Xia Huafeng actually said this at this time, which means that he doesn't know these things.

These things were all done by the people below, and they were all pushed away "Zhenguo Gong really doesn't know," the emperor asked.

"It's the incompetence of the minister, and he has been kept in the dark" "Then the prince of the town will come and see this," the emperor threw out another account book.

This ledger is the account of the gold mine, and this time the emperor did not let Hu Gonggong read it.

After all, it's about the gold mine.

This gold mine was managed by the Xia family to Yang Zhongxiao, and it was clearly written that the income from the gold mine every year was transported to the Xia family through any channel, and there was also a note signed by the Xia family's housekeeper.

Xia Huafeng didn't expect this Yang Zhongxiao to keep a note, looking at this account book, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this big housekeeper is such an important person in the Xia family, if there is no nod from the Xia family, would he dare to do this Besides, so much money is shipped over every year, and the movement is not small, even if he Xia Huafeng refuses to admit it now, the emperor will not believe it, and he will definitely investigate it to the end This matter is clear when he investigates it, and he can't help but check many things in his Xia family, in case he finds out something else, things will be even more troublesome Xia Huafeng is in a dilemma at this time, his Xia family still has some background, if he fights to offend the emperor today, this matter may be able to pass, but it will be difficult to offend the emperor's Xia family in the future.

But if he pleaded guilty, it was not a small crime to secretly possess gold mines, and if he didn't get it right, he would be killed, and he couldn't take this risk Xia Huafeng thought about it, gritted his teeth and decided to stay in Qingshan without worrying about the lack of firewood, and he must take some chips to fight the emperor today, even if he offends the emperor, he will find a way to make up for it later He read the words in his heart, and just wanted to speak, when he heard Xia Huaxiang, who was kneeling on the side, kowtow to the end and said, "Emperor, it was the minister who was confused for a while and did such a big rebellious thing, these people are all instructed by the minister, and it has nothing to do with the eldest brother, it has nothing to do with the Xia family, the eldest brother is also kept in the dark, and the minister is willing to bear this time."

Xia Huafeng listened to Xia Huaxiang's words, and couldn't help but be shocked, turned his head to look at Xia Huaxiang and exclaimed, "Second, second brother" "Big brother, it's my younger brother who did something wrong, and it has affected the Xia family, please forgive my eldest brother" Xia Huaxiang admitted his mistake to Xia Huafeng again, but his eyes were signaling Xia Huafeng to admit it Xia Huafeng saw that his second brother confessed, and at the same time he was worried, he was also relieved, this matter must be confessed, otherwise he can't understand, and his second brother is indeed the most suitable person Because Xia Huaxiang's identity is weighty enough, his second brother confessed his guilt, which is equivalent to saving him, and keeping him is not protecting the Xia family, because he is the head of the Xia family, but he has wronged his second brother in this matter In fact, Xia Huaxiang is also an understanding person, he understands the truth that there are eggs under the nest, the Xia family is down, they will all be finished, but if he pleads guilty and keeps his eldest brother, then with his eldest brother working outside, he should not be able to die "Xia Huaxiang, you are so bold," the emperor shouted angrily.

Xia Huaxiang has already decided to plead guilty and no longer defends, no matter what the emperor says, he has always said that he is guilty And Xia Huafeng also reprimanded Xia Huaxiang on the side, and at the same time, he would faintly defend him and plead Many people in the Xia family's faction also understood the direction of the matter, and they all ran out to plead with Xia Huaxiang.

The emperor's face was frosty, and he looked annoyed, but he also had to weigh the pros and cons, after all, the Xia family was not an ordinary family.

The eyes of the Emperor looked at his eldest son, after all, there were his two uncles kneeling below, and he wanted to see how this son reacted.

Who knew that it was a big disappointment at first glance King Zhao lowered his head at this time, and he didn't even look at his two uncles, who looked far away, as if he was afraid that the affairs of the Xia family would involve him The emperor was extremely disappointed, although the Xia family is guilty now, but in any case, it is also King Zhao's own uncle, his own uncle is facing life and death, his nephew not only does not help to intercede, but also has a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which is really chilling And the emperor knows that it is impossible for Xia Huafeng and Xia Huaxiang, two old foxes, to do such an inconsiderate thing, because they are wiping his ass for his son.

His son did something wrong, not only did he not dare to bear it, but he didn't even dare to intercede for his uncle, not selfish, ruthless and unrighteous The emperor was cold, turned his head to look at Chu Ziheng again, and saw that he was standing tall at this time, standing there neither to make any comments on the Xia family, nor to fall into the ground, since he handed over the folds and account books to him, it seemed that he had not spoken again, and he looked like he was all doing it all by his father This made the emperor feel a lot of relief, his third son has a furrow in his chest, and he is a manufacturable material Looking at the Xia family kneeling below, as well as those officials in a variety of forms, the emperor made a decision, and waved his big hand and said, "Take this Xia Huaxiang down and try it again at a later date" As soon as the emperor's words fell, today's lively and unusually early dynasty was over As for the matter of someone impeaching Chu Ziheng for killing the second son of King Qingjun, the emperor did not receive a note from King Qingjun, and directly refuted it If the son of King Qingjun was really killed by King An, can the king of Qingjun not gnaw, now the family has not said anything, you people have come out for others, isn't this a blind coaxing, it was originally a matter of nothing, thinking that the emperor was easy to deceive Ruoyun didn't know about the early dynasty, but at noon, Ruoyun heard the news, saying that Xia Huaxiang had been imprisoned, and the Xia family had all been imprisoned Ruoyun was not too surprised by this result, because when she and Chu Ziheng got Yang Zhongxiao's things, they didn't think that they could bring down the Xia family just by relying on these things.

After all, there is no specific correspondence with the Xia family at all, and there is no signature of the Xia family in the account book, which is considered insufficient evidence.

And the Xia family, you are the great family of the dynasty, the queen's maiden family, Xuanhe has been in the family for many years, and has a profound background, unless he rebels, it is impossible to be overthrown because of such a thing.

The original intention of them to do this was to help the people of Binzhou get out of the sea of suffering, and secondly, they also wanted to teach the Xia family a lesson and let the Xia family be punished Now that they can bring down the number two person of the Xia family, it is actually much better than they expected, after all, Xia Huaxiang is a second-grade great yuan, which can be regarded as breaking a wing of the Xia family and hurting some of their vitality.

In the final analysis, in fact, this time it was the emperor who asked them, otherwise just relying on Chu Ziheng's current strength in the court, he would not have allowed the Xia family to suffer such a big loss.

Half a month later, there was a final decision on this matter, and the emperor ordered to send a messenger to Binzhou to appease the people, and exempt Binzhou from paying taxes for one year, and the overcharged taxes before were returned in full according to what Chu Ziheng said at the beginning The emperor's policy not only appeased the people of Binzhou, but also let the people of the world see it, so that everyone could understand his benevolent government And Xia Huaxiang of the Xia family was finally exempted from death under the manipulation of the Xia family, but after being removed from his official position, he was sentenced to exile in the southwest.
