The news of Emperor Longqing's treatment of Xia Song spread very quickly, and it was already known to everyone in almost one morning.
Especially since Emperor Longqing didn't show any respect to him, he threw Dong Siyuan's secret information in his face in front of so many people, and then announced in public that Dong Siyuan was a lackey of the Xiao family and colluded with the commander of Shangfeng Hebei Wei Xiao.
Withholding military pay and oppressing the common people are unforgivable crimes.
Moreover, they also conspired to cause chaos and framed the Marquis of Pingxi.
This is a heinous crime and should be punished.
Dong Siyuan was dead, but Emperor Longqing was still angry.
He severely and severely convicted all the Xiao family members who had not yet been convicted, and decided that within three generations of the Xiao family, they would not be allowed to enter the officialdom.
Since this dynasty, except for Taizu who issued this order, no family has ever been punished like this.
The Xiao family can be regarded as the first such case since Taizu.
Everyone in the cabinet had a problem in their minds.
Emperor Longqing first dismissed Xia Song from the position of chief assistant, and then dealt with Dong Siyuan, saying that Dong Siyuan was causing trouble and framing people, so they all understood what was going on.
Lord Cifu, who had always been obedient to Xia Song, also remained silent.
Xia Shoufu had been famous for half his life, but in the end it was obvious that he was implicated by his son's land occupation, but in fact, he was blamed for being both a leader and a bad person and ended up in depression.
It was hard to hide his panic.
The situation in Beijing is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
But not everyone can't understand it.
At least King Zheng can understand.
As soon as he entered Beijing, he went to the palace to pay his respects.
Although Emperor Longqing was in a rage, he was still gentle and kind to him.
He said angrily: "Since you have just recovered from your serious illness, you should go back and have a good rest.
Why are you so busy coming here to say hello?"
But having said that, he was obviously very impressed by Prince Zheng's respectfulness and meekness, and he kindly let him sit down.
King Zheng did not dare to sit down.
He clasped his hands and bent his waist with some anxiety: "My brother is guilty and I dare not accept it."
He was sweating profusely and looked at Emperor Longqing, and asked uneasily: "Shou Ning is ignorant and reckless, and I am terrified if he commits such a crime."
He was so cowardly and honest, with nothing in his hands.
Emperor Longqing had always been at ease with him.
Seeing him in this situation, he felt even more comfortable.
He sneered and waved his hand: "It is true that he is reckless, but what about committing a crime?"
, no need to mention it again.”
He sat behind the chair and motioned for Prince Zheng to sit down: "I'm not so old that I can't tell right from wrong.
Shouning is just a child."
Shen Chen is a playboy and Shouning is a girl.
Both of them are just being taken advantage of.
Dong Siyuan and the Xiao family wanted to use this move to turn a deer into a horse and push Shen Chen and the Linjiang Palace to death, but they did not want to think about the relationship between Shen Chen and the Linjiang Palace.
Shen Chen and Linjiang Palace have long been estranged.
Especially with Chu Jingxing, the two of them were almost at odds with each other to the extreme.
These people wanted to use Shen Chen to escape, and they also wanted to mess up the matter and involve King Linjiang and King Zheng's Wei family.
They just wanted to destabilize his country.
But they ignored it.
Shen Chen and Wei An are just children.
In the final analysis, their value only depends on the people behind them.
Xia Songlin actually acted as a ladder for these people, trying to fish in troubled waters to save the Xiao family, but he couldn't bear this.
He sighed and said: "Xia Song is also confused.
He thinks that I don't know his plan."

King Zheng became more and more confused: "The chief assistant is actually related to this matter."
Emperor Longqing glanced at him and smiled sideways: "He is just a cunning and changeable old fox.
His son married a girl from the Xiao family.
I even wrote the inscription myself."
Yes, when Xia Song's son married the Xiao family, Emperor Longqing personally wrote a four-character plaque with the words "Made in Heaven" and sent it to Xia Song, which earned Xia Song enough face.
Because of this incident, Xia Song later worked hard and worked together with Emperor Longqing to clean up all the veterans and troubles of the previous dynasty.
Originally, Emperor Longqing trusted him very much.
It’s just that the more trust you have, the easier it is to seek perfection and blame.
What's more, Xia Song actually extended a hand to help.
King Zheng lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
After a long time, he said impartially: "Actually, if it is said that Xia Shoufu received money or said good things for others, it is possible.
It is said that he colluded with the King of Jin.
But it’s really a bit sensational.”
"Don't be so quick to think it is sensational."
King Zheng spoke fairly, and Emperor Longqing felt that he was even more honest.
He raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "He has received many benefits from King Jin.
The two sons of King Jin The relationship with Xia Song was very superficial at first, but there is no need to talk about it anymore.
The top priority is the rebellion of King Jin. " The King of Jin raised troops in Guangchang and conquered many cities in a short period of time.
He also recruited many refugees and bandits, but he also became a climate within a short period of time.
King Zheng was also worried: "According to this momentum, I am afraid that we will hit Hongdu and then Xunyang soon.
When we reach Xunyang, that will be..."
This is the territory of King Linjiang.
The King of Jin was originally assigned to Guangchang and the King of Linjiang to Xunyang because they didn't like each other, and the King of Jin was too courageous and petty, so they restricted each other.
But later, King Laijiang used the excuse of water bandits in Jiangxi and repeatedly applied to the late emperor for more guards.
Then he trained naval forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and built ships on a large scale.
He was really more confident than the unpopular King Jin who lived in Guangchang.
Much bigger.
He never dared to challenge King Linjiang.
Now, at the critical moment when King Jin committed a crime against King Linjiang, Xia Song and Dong Siyuan framed Shen Chen, and Emperor Longqing couldn't help but think about it.
This is clearly a real frame-up and provocation, hoping to use Shen Chen's incident to sow discord between Prince Linjiang and the court, so that Prince Linjiang and the court will fall out.
At this critical moment, Xia Song made such a mistake, which really stepped on Emperor Longqing's bottom line.
King Zheng paused for a moment, and when Emperor Longqing looked over, he said, "Brother Huang wants King Linjiang to send troops to help the court fight against the enemy."
Emperor Longqing hummed, and then said: "It's true that he has become a leader, but if Lao Wu can take action, King Jin will be no match for him.
It's just that I'm afraid that he won't take action."
King Zheng frowned: "In such a situation, how can he not be willing to do it?
He has to wait for the lives of all people to be destroyed."
Emperor Longqing smiled bitterly: "What you are saying is that there are Tatars in the north, and Japanese pirates are constantly causing trouble along the coast.
Now that the King of Jin is rebelling, it is really a time of internal and external troubles.
But if King Linjiang has other thoughts, if you Is he willing to help me calm down my internal worries?"
King Zheng stuttered a little: "You, you mean, Fifth Brother also has this idea, but he can't let it go."
"The heart is separated from the belly."
Emperor Longqing disagreed: "Who knows what he thinks?"
