Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 371: Does the prince intend to rebel?

The whole cart was really just ordinary agricultural products, such as pumpkins, mountain beans, hawthorns, persimmons and other agricultural products, and even onions, ginger and garlic.

Emperor Chongkang pointed at the pumpkin and couldn't help but curiously asked Jia Huan: "Jia Aiqing, I wonder what this is?"

Hearing this question, Jia Huan's expression did not change, but he felt disgust in his heart.

This old emperor is really indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains, and he doesn't even know a pumpkin.

But he said: "Back to the emperor, this is a pumpkin."

"what about this?"

"This is mountain beans."

"what about this?"

Jia Huan looked at the ginger served in a wooden barrel pointed by Emperor Chongkang, and had an idea and said: "Back to the emperor, this is to unify the country."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, good, one person can rule the country! Someone, take this cart of crops to the imperial kitchen. Tell them that they will use these crops for dinner."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, the cart of crops was pulled away.

The first two carts of tax money were also pulled into the Account Department's accounts by people from the Household Department.

Emperor Chongkang returned to Jinluan Hall in high spirits.

The conservatives exchanged glances with each other, and they became more determined to get rid of Jia Huan.

This sycophant, if they don't get rid of him as soon as possible, will be climbed up by him sooner or later, and he will definitely become a serious problem for them in the future.

The unification of the country just now really shocked all the civil and military officials.

They couldn't help but have a new understanding of Jia Huan. He was definitely a sycophant!

I really don’t know how His Majesty came to give the evaluation that Jia Sheng’s promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!

All the ministers returned to the Jinluan Palace together with mixed emotions.

Prince Zhongshun took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I impeach Jia Huan, the magistrate of Ping'an County."

"The first crime is to exceed his authority and arrest the county magistrate and chief registrar of Ping'an County, which is tantamount to conspiracy."

"The second crime was to innocently raid the Cao, Song, and Bai families in Ping'an County, and commit cruelty and cruelty, with no regard for human life."

"By acting like this, you are truly a rebellious traitor! I ask your Majesty to kill this beast!"

After Prince Zhongshun, ministers stood up one by one to support Prince Zhongshun.

"I ask your Majesty to kill this beast!"

"I ask your Majesty to kill this beast!"

"I ask your Majesty to kill this beast!"

"..."

In the court, most of the officials asked to kill Jia Huan, which made Emperor Chongkang look extremely embarrassed.

The impeachment party was a prince, a legionnaire whom Emperor Chongkang trusted.

With the power of hundreds of officials, Jia Huan, a mere county magistrate, is afraid that he will have more misfortunes than good, and it will be extremely difficult to get away with it.

Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but asked Jia Huan in a deep voice: "Jia Aiqing, Prince Zhongshun impeached you, what's your excuse?"

Jia Huan looked at Prince Zhongshun and asked: "Your Majesty's first point in impeaching me is to overstep his authority and arrest the county magistrate and the chief registrar, which is tantamount to treason."

"Then, your lord, you know that I am under the king's orders and have the right to kill first and report later. How can I overstep my authority, which is tantamount to treason?"

"Secondly, in order to resist the new law, the three families of Cao, Song and Bai conspired to destroy the eight major families in Ping'an County and set them on fire. They also tried to massacre thousands of civilians and create chaos to oppose the new law."

"In addition, these three families have a large amount of contraband items such as armor, crossbows, and weapons. The Cao family has connections with foreign countries and is connected with Dajin, which is tantamount to rebellion. Why can't I raid such a rebellious family? Why can't I destroy it? Door?"

Prince Zhongshun sneered and said: "This is just you deliberately fabricating charges and fabricating facts. If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?" "I ask you, if you hadn't copied the three major families and killed the Cao family and others in public. A direct descendant of the Song family, using this to intimidate other families! Is it possible to collect tax money this time so smoothly?"

"Jia Huan, in front of His Majesty, do you dare to say that you did not use any means to confiscate the homes of those three families? You did not kill innocent people indiscriminately? How can you prove your innocence?"

At the end of his speech, Prince Zhongshun's voice was as fierce as thunder.

This Prince Zhongshun is quite sinister and vicious.

He had no evidence to prove that I had no evidence, so he used proof by contradiction.

How could you collect tax money so smoothly if you didn't confiscate the homes of those three families?Therefore, you must have used unfair means to confiscate the homes of those three families.

And his last words seemed ridiculous, but in fact they were very vicious.

The most important thing is how to prove your innocence in the last sentence.

In judiciary, shouldn’t it be whoever makes the claim gives evidence?Is there any reason for people to prove their innocence?

Jia Huan looked at Prince Zhongshun and suddenly laughed.

After a while, he couldn't help but chant loudly: "Thousands of hammers were used to carve out the mountains, and the fire burned them as if it were nothing. I am not afraid of my bones being broken into pieces, I want to leave my innocence in the world."

As soon as this poem came out, the scene fell into silence.

All the conspiracies, intrigues, demons and monsters are eclipsed by this impassioned, desperate and righteous poem.

Jia Huan suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, this official is confused about something. Your Majesty is clearly a prince of the royal family, and he has won the trust of your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is not kind to the prince. Why does the prince openly oppose the new law?"

"Not only that, the prince also took advantage of the opportunity of opposing the new law to win over the civil and military ministers and form a party for personal gain!"

"I would like to ask the prince, what does the prince want to do? Is it because he wants to rebel?"

At the end of the sentence, Jia Huan's voice and expression also became fierce.

It is true that Prince Zhongshun was Emperor Chongkang's lackey, and it is also true that Emperor Chongkang trusted Prince Zhongshun very much.

However, there was no family affection in the royal family. As Prince Zhongshun became more and more powerful, Jia Huan did not believe that Emperor Chongkang would not have any suspicion of him.

But this time, Prince Zhongshun seemed to be mainly targeting him, Jia Huan, or the Jia family.

However, it is an indisputable fact that he opposed the new law and gathered a group of ministers around him.

What does a dignified prince want to do?
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Emperor Chongkang's face could not help but darken slightly.

Prince Zhongshun was so angry that he burst into rage and his eyes were about to burst.

He pointed at Jia Huan and angrily rebuked: "You are a yellow-tongued child, you are spitting blood, and you are trying to sow discord between me and my brother. How can I tolerate you?"

"Someone, give this yellow-mouthed kid..."

At this time, Emperor Chongkang said: "Okay, let's stop arguing. How can it be appropriate to make noises in the court?"

Prince Zhongshun took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Jia Huan also said immediately: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongkang asked Jia Huan: "Jia Aiqing, you said that the Cao, Song, and Bai families wanted to massacre the eight aristocratic families in Ping'an County, and also massacre thousands of civilians in an attempt to cause unrest."

"They also say that the Cao family has connections with foreign countries and is connected with Dajin. The assassin who assassinated you that day was related to the Cao family. Do you have any evidence?"

Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, I naturally have evidence. The witnesses and physical evidence are there, and they are outside the palace now. Please summon your Majesty."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongkang nodded and said, "Come here, bring some evidence to the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, all civil and military officials in the court could not help but feel slightly moved. (End of chapter)
