Chapter 410: The Tree Falls and Scatters
He hurriedly entered the palace to plead guilty, and even more had to get rid of this son, so that the Xia family would not be implicated.
Halfway through the words, Chu Yiqi was already extremely impatient, and in this case, he didn't bother to give face to his father-in-law, and said directly: "Shang Shuling, it's okay for your sixth son to misbehave, but your fifth son and seventh daughter are the princesses who designed to murder the prince of the dynasty, how do you let me do good for you?" ”
Xia Guang was unhappy in his heart, Chu Yiqi This is an obvious bridge drawer, if it weren't for the Xia family supporting him to be the king of Ning, would he be able to ascend to this throne? !
The benefits are all taken, and now it is said that there is no way to help the aftermath, what kind of truth is this.
But at this time, he couldn't be disrespectful, otherwise there would be no one to take care of the Xia family.
"The emperor doesn't look at the face of the queen, he has to look at His Royal Highness the Prince." Xia Guang threatened, "I can't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a guilty foreigner." ”
Chu Yiqi twisted his eyebrows and said that it was fake not to be angry.
After the Xia family came to the capital, there were frequent accidents, and the courtiers were impeached in various ways, and he was able to keep it a few times.
After all, he came from other places to inherit the throne, and many ministers of the court and the central government disagreed with him, thanks to Prime Minister Gu Cheng and Chu Jifeng, he was barely able to sit on the throne, how could he still manage the Xia family all the time.
But as Xia Guang said, he doesn't care about the queen, but also his sister-in-law.
"That's it, you bring a gift and go to make amends to King Ling and his wife." Chu Yiqi was still kind and relieved.
Xia Guang was overjoyed in his heart, and before he could thank him, a cold voice came from outside the imperial study.
"Shang Shuling is also here." It was Chu Jifeng who came into the palace, he was wearing a crimson python dragon brocade robe and a nine-bead gold crown, which was both handsome and undaring.
Xia Guang's heart immediately lifted, and he was a little frightened: "Wang ...... Rajah. ”
Chu Jifeng raised his eyebrows and said, "The minister has already sorted out the confessions of Luo Yunyun and the deaf woman, please take a look at it." ”
Father-in-law Qi immediately went down and showed the confession to Chu Yiqi.
Chu Yiqi looked at it, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and then he suddenly looked at Xia Guang: "Shang Shuling!" The previous rumors about Princess Ling were actually spread by you?! ”
When Xia Guang heard the questioning, his feet weakened and he knelt down.
I pity him for an old bone, kneeling and kneeling, it really hurts.
"Your Majesty, if you are not a minister, there must be some misunderstanding here." Xia Guang hurriedly denied it.
Don't think about it, it must be Luo Yunyun who can't bear the torture and says everything, he really regrets it now.
Chu Jifeng glanced at him and said coldly: "Shang Shuling, Luo Yunyun put a handprint on his confession, do you still have to quibble?" Could it be that this king wants to take Luo Yunyun to the palace and testify against you in person? I don't know what this king has offended you about, and he has made you murder many times. ”
Xia Guang sweated like rain, and could only say: "It was Luo Yunyun who made a foolish statement, so the old minister was confused for a while!" Ask the emperor to be gracious! ”
Chu Yiqi made a difficulty, this time Chu Jifeng had no evidence, and he was not good at protecting his father-in-law.
Besides, Princess Ling was wronged and almost lost her life, Chu Jifeng didn't raise a knife to kill the Xia family, which was already very face-saving.
"King Ling, I ......" Chu Yiqi sighed, "Shang Shuling should just be confused for a while, King Ling might as well raise his noble hand, right?" ”
Chu Jifeng was not surprised that the emperor would intercede for the Xia family, after all, they came from Ningzhou together.
But he caught the fault of the Xia family this time, how could he let go of the Xia family easily, the emperor was too kind-hearted, he might as well clear the way for the emperor.
With a pale face, he said: "The princess who murdered this king should have punished the three clans, but this king is happy to be Lin'er, and it is not easy to kill, so let Shang Shuling resign, and guarantee that the three generations of the Xia family will not be able to step into the Daqi court as an official in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace was stunned.
The price of this...... You don't have to punish the three clans lightly!
If three generations can't be officials, the Xia family has no place in the capital, and the queen will become the laughing stock of the world.
Xia Guang was furious and glared at Chu Jifeng: "King Ling, don't bully people too much!" ”
Chu Jifeng looked at him quietly: "This is too deceitful?" This king hasn't killed your whole family yet. ”
Xia Guang covered his chest, almost unable to catch his breath.
This is not all, Chu Yiqi thought about this punishment plan, and immediately felt that it was good, the Xia family's gang of bastards was not doing a good job, after they withdrew from the court, the queen and the prince could still be free from interference, and there would be not so many disputes in the future.
He coughed lightly and said, "Then punish according to King Ling's thoughts, Xia Guang, thank you." ”
"Your Majesty!" Xia Guang was stunned and shouted bitterly, "I'm your father-in-law!" ”
Chu Yiqi's face sank.
Father-in-law Qi has already shouted boldly, this is in the palace, it is no longer the time to be in Ningzhou, where is there any father-in-law and son-in-law to speak of!
did not let Xia Guang intercede again, Chu Yiqi issued a holy decree to dismiss all the Xia family members and not allow them to enter the court as officials again.
The Xia family and the others were crying, and the Xia family of the Phoenix Hall fainted again, and the imperial doctor went three or four times in a few days, and they were all annoyed.
Not only that, the daughter of the Ministry of Works, who had previously married into the Xia family, mentioned and divorced, and returned to her parents' house that night, as for the girl who married Xia Tinghu, there was no need to mention the divorce, her husband committed a crime and died, she could directly bring back the dowry and marry someone else.
Overnight, the Xia family was almost scattered, and Xia Guang couldn't afford to get sick again, and he died of illness within three days.
The front yard of the Xia family has not been repaired yet, and there is a funeral, not to mention how embarrassing it is.
Few households in Beijing go to worship, and the mourning hall is very cold.
Qin Ye and Chu Jifeng also deliberately said that whoever is good with the Xia family will not be able to get along with him and the Qin family.
When the Xia family was in the scenery, they paid credit to many merchants, and the merchants wanted to curry favor with the Ling Wangfu and the Qin family, so they deliberately blocked the door of the Xia Mansion on the day of Xia Guang's funeral, asking the Xia family to pay off the accounts on credit.
The scene was embarrassing for a while.
Mrs. Xia was hit one after another, and she couldn't bear it, Xia Tingming was physically disabled and couldn't speak.
In the end, Xia Saburo Xia Tingchun walked in front and said, "Everyone, today is my father's funeral, can you talk about the accounts tomorrow?" ”
Merchants took the bills on credit and refused to give way.
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow you'll be gone! ”
"That's right! Didn't your Xia family be a relative of the emperor before? There must be money, hurry up and pay it back! ”
"If you don't pay back the money, the coffin won't be allowed! See who can afford whom! ”
One person shouted one by one, and it was very noisy in front of the Xia family.
The people all came to see the excitement and pointed at the Xia family.
Xia Tingchun stiffened his face, opened his hand and pressed down, asked everyone to be quiet, and said: "There are a lot of accounts, the Xia family still needs some time to prepare the silver, please give me some time, our Xia family is here, and we will not repay the bills." ”
Before Xia Guang died, he entrusted everything of the Xia family to him.
