Because Luo Tong saw desire in Liu Zimo's eyes from the first time he saw him. She knew that Liu Zimo was not that indifferent to fame and wealth.
And Prime Minister Liu and the Liu family obviously have nothing to do with being indifferent to fame and fortune, but it can be seen from Prime Minister Liu's behavior.
But since there is desire, what do the Liu family want?
Furthermore, Concubine De and Concubine Qin wanted to completely ruin Liu Yingxue's reputation, and the Liu family agreed.
This is also incomprehensible. If her reputation is as bad as this, even if King Qin becomes emperor in the future, Liu Yingxue will have difficulty competing for the throne. How could the civil and military officials allow such a vicious woman to become the queen?
But the Liu family just agreed...
When Luo Tong sent Liu Yingxue's evidence to Princess Qin, he never expected such a result.
That’s right! The reason why Princess Qin was able to catch what Liu Yingxue did this time was due to Luo Tong!
And even when the news spread later, she also helped, although it was still a bit different from Luo Tong's initial expectations.
Although Luo Tong couldn't quite predict the actions of the Liu family, the actions of De Fei and Yue Jia were quite easy to understand.
If this matter were left to other concubines or even side concubines, it would not be possible to receive such a light punishment. In the final analysis, it was because Liu Yingxue was the legitimate daughter of the Liu family.
De Fei and Yue Jia also knew very well that they could not really do anything to the Liu family. After all, the Liu family had finally been pulled into their camp. This was a big help!
If they still want to get the support of the Liu family, they can't do anything to Liu Yingxue, and they can't even change the position of the concubine at will.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yingxue's punishment seems so "light", because it is all for the sake of the Liu family.
Luo Tong understands all this.
But it's not bad for Liu Yingxue to suffer mental torture. After all, for a proud person like Liu Yingxue, pressing her dignity to the ground is the most torture!
"How is the Xu family's case?" Luo Tong no longer thought about King Qin and the Liu family, but instead asked about the Xu family, which had been under investigation for a long time.
"The results have come. All the men of the Xu family have been beheaded, and all the women have been exiled. They will never be able to return to Beijing..."
The day after Luo Tong received the news, the emperor's imperial edict came down.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread throughout the capital. The people discussed the matter hotly, and even angrily expressed that they would go to the execution ground to watch the men of the Xu family being beheaded.
Most of the evil deeds done by the Xu family have been discovered. Even though the emperor deliberately kept it secret, it was still spread through various channels, arousing huge public outrage.
Even the emperor's majesty has been severely damaged. The prince and the emperor's close ministers have caused major scandals one after another, and the people's resentment towards the emperor is also growing day by day.
If there were only one or two, then the people might just think that the emperor was deceived, but now that things are happening frequently, and all of them are close ministers of the emperor, it is difficult for people not to think more about it.
Does the current emperor look like a fool? Obviously not, so how could so many people be kept in the dark?
So in the end there was only one possibility left. These criminals were all connived by the emperor.
Such a result will undoubtedly make the people feel uncomfortable. How can they trust and respect the emperor when the emperor does not take their lives seriously?
Dissatisfaction with the emperor has begun to appear in the streets and alleys, not only in the capital, but also in various places.
When the emperor learned the news, he had just calmed down the anger caused by the Xu family.
He had always known that the Xu family was not clean, but thinking that the Xu family was still obedient, he turned a blind eye and went along with the Xu family's troubles.
But what he didn't expect was that the Xu family would be so bold and commit so many things!
The crimes committed by the Xu family were so serious that the emperor became furious when he found out about them, so when he was convicted, the sentences were also harsh.
After two days of hard work, he finally heard what the common people were saying about him, and he was so angry that he almost demolished the imperial study room.
"A bunch of untouchables! How dare you say that to me!" The emperor roared furiously in the imperial study room.
"They are just a bunch of ants that I can easily crush to death! If it weren't for me, how could they have the prosperous life they have now? They don't even know how to be grateful!"
Eunuch Dehai was too frightened to speak. He could only avoid the people who were waiting in order to prevent what the emperor said from being spread.
It turned out that his guess was indeed correct...
"Preach my will! All those who make unwarranted comments will be arrested!"
Eunuch Dehai was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the emperor would have such an idea!
Now he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and knelt on the ground with a plop, hurriedly admonishing.
"Your Majesty, please think twice! Doing this will only make the people more resentful, and may even allow villains to get their way, and they may even take the opportunity to rebel and cause chaos!"
The emperor didn't care at all what public grievances Eunuch Dehai mentioned. Just when he was about to scold him, he heard the second half of what he said.
He may not care about other things, but this country and the throne are what he cares about most!
"You mean, Prince An might rebel?" The first thing the emperor thought of was Prince An.
In his opinion, Prince An has royal blood and controls the most powerful and largest army in Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, he is the one who may eventually rebel and is also the most threatening person.
And Prince An has never listened to him. In his opinion, Prince An didn't even take him seriously!
"It's not just Prince An." Eunuch Dehai didn't say it clearly, but looking at the emperor's face, it was obvious that he had already guessed many candidates.
He continued: "Your Majesty, not only within the Great Zhou Dynasty, several surrounding countries may also take action!"
"Before……"
Eunuch Dehai had something to say. Although he didn't say it directly, the emperor immediately thought of it!
Spring Hunt Assassination!
Nanlin and Poland actually sent assassins to assassinate themselves!
Now that these two countries have taken action, it means that they are no longer restless and have other thoughts about Da Zhou!
Seeing that the emperor had listened, Eunuch Dehai continued: "If the people get into chaos, they will most likely take this opportunity to take advantage of our great Zhou Dynasty!"
"They dare! A group of untouchables! If they dare to cause trouble, kill them all!" The emperor's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly became angry again.
Doesn't his majestic Zhou still lack those few untouchables? These people were born to crawl at their feet!
Eunuch Dehai said quickly: "Your Majesty, this matter may not actually be caused by the common people themselves. Maybe there is someone behind the scenes pushing this matter."
"Nanlin and Poland have been waiting for the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the emperor does this, wouldn't it be playing into their hands?"
