What a character the emperor is, as soon as he heard that Xia Huachun and Yang Zhongxiao died in prison, he knew what was going on, and picked up the fold and threw it to Hu Gonggong: "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.

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.

Many officials are curious, what is written on this King An's recital, which makes the emperor angry like this, at this time, he couldn'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 one of the account books presented by Chu Ziheng, and also threw it to Hu Gonggong: "Read, pick up important thoughts!" ”

King Zhao was frightened when he saw this, Xia Huafeng and Xia Huaxiang were even more "groaning" in their hearts, 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 his Xia family go lightly!

Hu Gonggong read a few. It is all written in what year and month the people received the fat and how much ointment was 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 good-looking, and some were worried!

Worried about the people of the Xia family's faction, they all rely on the Xia family to gain a foothold in the court, not so much worried about the Xia family, but worried about their own future!

Now that they have all hidden themselves in the corner to lower their savings, the officials who were clamoring for the impeachment of Chu Ziheng just now also shut up and quietly retreated, 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 a timely manner. and guilt in his mouth.

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

Xia Huafeng breathed a sigh of relief, he deliberately interrupted this father-in-law Hu. If you let Gonggong Hu read it one by one. Then his Xia family was slapped a few times in public. What face will be there in the future!

"Oh, Zhenguo Gong, what are you guilty of?" The emperor asked with implicit majesty.

"It's the subordinates who have no way to discipline them. Let the following people do such a great rebellion, 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 are all done by the people below, and the push is completely done!

"Zhen Guogong really doesn't know?" The emperor asked.

"It's the minister's incompetence, and he has been kept in the dark!"

"Then the town prince should come and see this!" The emperor threw out another account book, this account book is the account of the gold mine, this time the emperor no one let Hu Gonggong read it, after all, it is related to the gold mine.

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

Xia Huafeng didn't expect this Yang Zhongxiao to keep the 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 track it down to the end!

This matter will be clear when you think about it, and he can't help but check many things in the Xia family, if 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 offends the emperor today, this matter may be able to pass, but after offending the emperor's Xia family, it will be difficult in the court.

But if he admits his guilt, it is not a small crime to secretly possess gold mines, and if he can't get it right, he can't take this risk!

Xia Huafeng thought about it, gritted his teeth and decided to stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, he must take some chips today to fight the emperor, even if he offends the emperor, he will find a way to make up for it in the future!

He read the words in his heart, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Xia Huaxiang, who was kneeling on the side, kowtow to the end and said: "Your Majesty, it was the minister who was confused for a while and did such a 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 I have affected the Xia family, please forgive my eldest brother!" Xia Huaxiang admitted his mistake to Xia Huafeng again, but in his eyes, he signaled 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 indeed 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 means not protecting the Xia family, because he is the head of the Xia family, but this matter wronged his second brother!

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 around, he should not be able to die!

"Xia Huaxiang, you are so bold!" The emperor shouted angrily.

Xia Huaxiang has already decided to admit his guilt, so he will no longer defend himself, no matter what the emperor says, he has always said that he is guilty!

And while Xia Huafeng also reprimanded Xia Huaxiang on the side, he would also faintly defend him and intercede!

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 was covered with frost and seemed to be annoyed, but he also had to weigh the pros and cons, after all, the Xia family was not an ordinary family.

The emperor's eyes 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 would be 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 is 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 knew in his heart that it was impossible for Xia Huafeng and Xia Huaxiang, the two old foxes, to do such an inconsiderate thing, because they were wiping their butts for his son.

His son did something wrong, not only did he not dare to bear it, but he didn't even dare to help his uncle intercede, isn't it 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 without making any comments on the Xia family, nor falling into the ground, since he handed over the folds and account books to him, it seemed that he had never spoken again, and he looked like he was all up to his father!

This made the emperor feel a lot of relief, his third son has a furrow in his chest, and he is a material that can be made!

Looking at the Xia family kneeling below, as well as those officials in a variety of forms, the emperor made a decision in his heart, 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 is over!

As for the matter of someone impeaching Chu Ziheng for killing the second son of King Qingjun, the emperor did not receive a sentence from King Qingjun, so he 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 hasn't said anything, you people are standing up for others, isn't this a blind coaxing, it was originally something out of nothing, thinking that the emperor was easy to deceive! ――

Ruoyun didn't know about the things in the early morning, 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 on this thing, and there is no signature of the Xia family on 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 rid 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 master, 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, the matter had a final decision, 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 appeases the people of Binzhou, but also allows the people of the world to see it, so that everyone can 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. (To be continued......)
