Zhao Wei's words completely stung the hornet's nest.
There had been rumors in Beijing that Marquis Dingyuan was in love with Long Yang, but it was only spread in private. No one dared to bring it to the table, let alone shout it out in front of the emperor.
At most, you can read one sentence: Marquis Dingyuan did not cultivate his personal morality and had problems with his life style.
In addition to causing some damage to Shen Xuan's own reputation, to be honest, it is not as serious as the problem of an excessive number of wives and concubines in a certain official's home.
When the rumors first started, the palace specially summoned Marquis Dingyuan to see him, but he was not reprimanded. However, it was said that the emperor lost his temper because Marquis Dingyuan was "slandered" by the rumors.
