Spring Drunk Chang'an

It has to be said that the ministers who do not have all kinds of little thoughts act much more decisively.

Xiao Chuo was concerned about Emperor Yingwu's face and just wanted to wipe out the Xu family. However, the elders were so disgusted by the Xu family that they simply wanted to wipe out the entire family!

not only that!

"Liu Xiu is so lax in his household management, allowing his concubine to replace his legitimate daughter. Simply demoting him and fining his salary is too light. He should be severely punished and his title should be reduced!"

There was an elder who had always disliked Liu Xiu, and now that he had the chance, he wasn't going to let him go.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Bai? I'm the victim!"

Liu Xiu was horrified and kept saying, "My, my poor Wen Bo, the rest of his life is ruined. I, I am living a life worse than death. How could I, how could I..."

And punish me!

Long live the punishment!

He was demoted!

Why touch his title?

Liu Xiu was almost crying.

"Your Majesty has arrested the Xu brothers and sisters and redressed your family's injustice." Elder Bai snorted coldly, "You are the victim, but you are also the guilty subject. How can the two be balanced?"

"me……"

Everyone in the hall started arguing again, and it was getting so bad that Emperor Yingwu finally had no choice but to call in the six ministers...

These bad things can’t be covered up anymore, so let’s discuss them together and come up with a set of rules.

In the hall, the 'criminals', 'victims', 'sufferers', as well as troublemakers, partisans, cautious people, spectators, and a group of officials were arguing in a mess.

The final result...

Xu Fang's life was saved, but he was beaten with a hundred boards and exiled three thousand miles to the barren land in the northwest. He would be a farmer for the rest of his life, regardless of whether he was pardoned or not.

His father, Xu Liang, was stripped of his title for failing to educate his children, managing his family poorly, and corrupting the morals of the dynasty.

Push all the way to the end.

The executions of Xu Ruyi and Xu Yuan remain unchanged.

The once mighty and powerful Zhenguo Mansion had all its staff members "packaged" and truly became a "rich and wise man"!

The only remaining official positions in his family were his third son Xu Zheng's position as a fourth-rank general and his fourth son Xu Yi's position as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy.

However, due to family problems, the two who were not present were also demoted.

One of them was promoted from a general to a captain of a thousand households, and the other was directly promoted from a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy to a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue.

From the sixth rank, from the ninth rank.

Plummeted.

When the Xu couple received this result, they were so devastated that they couldn't even shed tears, and they were so grateful that their hearts were trembling.

Emperor Yingwu was too lazy to pay attention to them.

After all, these people's inquiries to him were of no use.

"Kneel down and pay your respects!"

He drove the Xu family out of the hall.

As for the rest, Liu Xiu's punishment was also heavier than before. Duke Ningguo became Marquis Ningguo, and his title was downgraded by one level. This was certainly a bolt from the blue for the nobles who relied on the title to pass down their generations, and they could not accept it at all. However, look at the fate of the Xu family, the former "Duke Zhenguo"!

Liu Xiu thanked him with tears in his eyes.

However, the Cheng'en Mansion received a lot of compensation.

It is for Song Bin, Song Shi and Liu Changan.

However, these were just treasures, gold, silver, and verbal praise, which meant little to them, but...

"Seeing Liu Xiu suffer misfortune makes me happy!"

Song said privately.

Song Bin clapped his hands in agreement, "Today, I'm afraid I'll eat several bowls for dinner."

After a series of imperial decrees were issued, Emperor Yingwu, with a weary expression on his face, ordered everyone to leave. He even refused to see the Crown Prince. He only kept Xiao Xun, and the rest...

"You all stand down."

"I obey your orders!"

The ministers knelt and left the hall.

The Xu family will be dealt with by the Sansi Yamen. Those who deserve to be beaten will be beaten, and those who deserve to be driven away will be driven away.

After all, the Xu family's title was taken back, so they could no longer live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The court was going to take the mansion back. Liu Xiu's title of Duke was downgraded to Marquis, and some illegal items had to be removed.

The Xu family was taken away by the guards.

The Dali Temple also issued an arrest warrant for Xu Ruyi and Xu Yuan, preparing to bring them to justice.

Liu Xiu stood behind them, looking at their miserable appearance. Thinking of his poor Bai'er, his eyes reddened as he spat fiercely and cursed, "You are a family of beasts. You will not have a good death."

After cursing, he turned around and looked at the Song family.

His gaze seemed to linger on Liu Changan for a moment, and his lips opened slightly as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he did not open his mouth. He just clenched his fists, turned around and strode away.

"What a wicked bastard! Chang'an is his own flesh and blood. He suffered so much, and finally set things right, but he didn't even look at her or ask a single question. How could I have been so blind to betroth Zhilan to such a thing!"

"Damn, damn it!"

Song Bin witnessed Liu Xiu's behavior and was so angry that he slapped himself in the face.

"Alright, we started this incident to separate Chang'an and the Liu family. We wanted to prevent that bastard Liu Xiu from getting involved with Chang'an. Now, wouldn't it be better if Liu Xiu knew better?"

"Besides, Yu Ge'er is the eldest son, and he has raised him for so many years without showing any sympathy, let alone a little girl in Chang'an?"

"What are you angry about?" Old Lady Song's eyes were cold. She glanced at the old man and snorted, "You've been blind for a long time. It's not just Zhilan, there's also..."

Queen Song.

Emperor Yingwu was also a good emperor and a good son-in-law that Song Bin had his eyes on, but...

Haha.

Upon hearing this, Song Bin smiled bitterly.

"Mom, don't say that about Dad. It's all my fault. I was blind and deceived by Liu Xiu, and I ended up hurting everyone!"

"Chang'an, Chang'an!" Song watched Liu Xiu's departing back and thought about what happened today: Wenrui's betrayal, Liu Qingru and Chang'an's life experiences, the commotion in front of the palace, Liu Wenbai's disability, and Liu Xiu's demotion!

The wedding became a laughing stock.

"Here, it's good to come!" Song murmured, "Wenrui, he always wanted to be pardoned and wanted the title of the Liu family. I forced him to follow me. Now, he has returned, and Liu Wenbai is also disabled. Who knows, he will really get what he wants and become the Duke of Ningguo, oh, no, the Ningguo Marquis's son!"

"It's a good result if you get what you want."

"As for Qingru, she is not my daughter. She is Lai's child..."

The blood relationship is gone, and the love and care that she had nurtured for more than ten years was all destroyed when she said "Mom, don't force us" at the wedding today.

"In the future, I will only have two children, Yu'er and Chang'an!"

"The child I feel the most sorry for, ended up staying by my side!" Song's tears welled up in her eyes. Turning around with tear marks on her face, she looked at Liu Chang'an almost timidly, "I'm sorry, Chang'an, I'm sorry. You've been with me for so long and helped me so much, but I never knew you were my daughter!"

"You are my child, but you have suffered so much. You were taken away from me as soon as you were born, while I raised the daughter of my enemy and treated her like a treasure~"
