Ninety-eight: Miserable

The news of Emperor Longqing's disposal of Xia Song spread extremely quickly, and everyone knew about it almost in the morning.

Especially Emperor Longqing didn't save his face, and threw Dong Siyuan's secret fold in his face in front of so many people, and then announced in public that Dong Siyuan was the lackey of the Xiao family, colluding with Shangfeng Hebei Wei Xiao to command the envoy to deduct military salaries and oppress the people, the crime is unforgivable, and he also conspired to cause chaos, blamed Pingxihou, the crime is extremely heinous, and his crime should be punished.

Dong Siyuan is dead, but Emperor Longqing is still angry, and all the people of the Xiao family who have not yet been convicted are severely convicted, and it is decided that the Xiao family will not be allowed to enter the office within three generations.

Since this dynasty, except for Taizu who has given this order, no family has ever been punished like this.

The Xiao family can also be regarded as the first case since Taizu.

Everyone in the cabinet has a scale in their hearts, Emperor Longqing first dismissed Xia Song from the post of first assistant, and then dealt with Dong Siyuan, saying that Dong Siyuan stirred up right and wrong and planted blame, and they all understood what was going on.

The second assistant who has always been obedient to Xia Song didn't say a word.

Xia Shoufu has been in the limelight for half his life, and in the end, it is clear that he was affected by his son's occupation, but in fact, he is accused of being depressed at both ends of the first rat, which makes it difficult to hide the panic.

The situation in Beijing is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

But not everyone is incomprehensible.

At least King Zheng can understand it.

As soon as he entered Beijing, he first entered the palace to ask for peace.

Although Emperor Longqing was furious, he was still gentle and kind to him, and said to him: "Since you have recovered from a serious illness, you should go back and rest well, and you are busy asking for peace?" ”

But having said that, for King Zheng's courtesy and meekness, he was obviously extremely useful, and let him sit down with a pleasant face.

King Zheng didn't dare to sit down, arched his hands and bent over a little worried: "The younger brother is guilty, don't dare to accept the ......."

He looked at Emperor Longqing sweating profusely, and asked uneasily: "Shou Ning is ignorant and reckless, committing such a crime...... The minister was terrified......"

The courage is so small and honest, there is nothing in his hands, Emperor Longqing has always been at ease with him, and when he saw him at this scene, he felt even more appropriate, so he sneered and waved his hand: "Recklessness is true, but if you say anything about committing a crime, you don't need to mention it again." ”

He sat down behind the chair and motioned for King Zheng to sit: "I haven't reached the point where I can't tell right from wrong when I'm old, Shou Ning is just a child." ”

Shen Chen loves to be in the limelight, Shou Ning is a girl, and these two are just being used.

Dong Siyuan and the Xiao family wanted to use this move to refer to the deer as a horse and push Shen Chen and the Linjiang Mansion to replace the death, but they didn't want to think about the relationship between Shen Chen and the Linjiang Palace.

Shen Chen and Linjiang Wangfu have long been estranged.

Especially with Chu Jingxing, the two of them almost didn't deal with each other to the extreme.

These people want to use Shen Chen to get out, and they also want to mess things up and involve the King of Linjiang and King Zheng Wei's family, just to make his country unstable.

But they ignored it.

Shen Chen and Wei An are just children, and in the final analysis, their value only depends on the people behind them.

Xia Songlin actually used it as a ladder for these people, thinking of fishing in troubled waters to save the Xiao family, but he couldn't bear it.

He sighed and said, "Xia Song is also old and confused, he thinks I don't know his plans. ”

King Zheng became more and more confused: "Shoufu is also related to this matter?" ”

Emperor Longqing glanced at him and smiled sideways: "He is a cunning and changeable old fox, his son is married to a girl from the Xiao family, and I have personally inscribed it at the beginning." ”

Yes, when Xia Song's son married the Xiao family, Emperor Longqing personally wrote a four-character plaque made in heaven to send it to Xia Song, earning enough face for Xia Song.

Because of this incident, Xia Song later worked hard and worked together with Emperor Longqing to clean up the old ministers and troubles of the previous dynasty.

Originally, Emperor Longqing trusted him very much.

It's just that the more you trust, the easier it is to blame.

What's more, Xia Song really reached out to help.

King Zheng hung his head and didn't dare to answer, and 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." To say that he colluded with King Jin is really a bit sensational......."

"Don't be sensational so quickly." King Zheng spoke fairly, and Emperor Longqing felt that he was even more honest, and raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "He has not accepted many benefits from King Jin, and the matter of King Jin's two sons was also very close to Xia Song at the beginning." But there is no need to say any more, the top priority is the rebellion of King Jin. ”

The king of Jin raised troops in Guangchang, and in a short period of time he had conquered many cities, and also recruited a lot of homeless robbers, and he became the climate for a while.

King Zheng was also worried: "According to this momentum, I'm afraid that it will not be long before we will hit Hongdu and then Xunyang." When you arrive in Xunyang, that's ......."

It's the territory of King Linjiang.

At the beginning, the king of Jin was in Guangchang and the king of Linjiang was in Xunyang, but these two people didn't look at each other very well, but the king of Jin was bold and cautious, so the two of them restrained each other.

But later, on the grounds that there were water bandits in Jiangxi, the king of Linjiang repeatedly applied with the first emperor to increase the guards, and then trained the navy in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and built ships on a large scale, and his confidence was really much greater than that of the king of Jin, who was not favored in the small place of Guangchang. He has never dared to argue with the king of Linjiang.

Now that the King of Jin committed the critical moment on the head of the King of Linjiang, there was a matter of Xia Song and Dong Siyuan framing Shen Chen, so Emperor Longqing couldn't help but think about it less.

This is clearly a real framing and provoking, counting on Shen Chen's matter to provoke the relationship between the King of Linjiang and the imperial court, so that the King of Linjiang and the imperial court will fall out.

At this critical moment, Xia Song made such a mistake, and he really stepped on the bottom line of Emperor Longqing.

King Zheng paused, and when he saw Emperor Longqing looking over, he said: "What does the imperial brother mean, is it to ask the king of Linjiang to send troops to help the court fight the enemy?" ”

Emperor Longqing snorted, and said: "It is true that he has become a climate, but if he can make a move, King Jin will not be an opponent." I'm just afraid...... He wouldn't do it. ”

King Zheng frowned: "In such a situation, why is he unwilling?!" Do you have to wait for the lives to be destroyed?! ”

Emperor Longqing smiled bitterly: "What you said is that there are Tatars in the north, and there are Japanese robbers along the coast, and now the King of Jin is rebelling, which is really a time of internal and external troubles, but if the King of Linjiang has other thoughts, if you are him, will you help me calm down the internal troubles?" ”

King Zheng stammered a little: "You, are you saying that the fifth brother also has this thought?" But this ..... Can't stop this? ”

"The heart is separated from the belly." Emperor Longqing disagreed: "Who knows what he thinks? ”
