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

How could he have a witness in his hand?

Things are not going well now.

The conservative side naturally knew that it was true that the Cao family and three other families wanted to destroy eight aristocratic families and massacre tens of thousands of people.

Because they are the ones behind this plan.

They didn't expect that in just a few days, they would be discovered by the children of the Jia family.

It doesn't matter just to find out. After all, there is no evidence, so there is nothing the Jia family can do against them.

They could still put the Jia family's children to death.

But they never expected that the Jia boy would have a witness in his hands!
Only the head of the Cao family knew about this matter.

And the whole Cao family, weren't they all shaken by the Jia family's children?
Where did he get the witness now?

Emperor Chongkang was also stunned after hearing this, because Jia Huan did not mention this matter in the memorial to him.

If he had known that there was a witness, he would not have allowed these conservatives to push him to this point.

Emperor Chongkang glared at Jia Huan and asked, "Jia Aiqing, who is the witness? Where is he now?"

Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, the witness is Bai Ziye, the head of the Bai family. After the head of the Bai family was arrested, he realized the mistakes he had made, was willing to turn over the dark side, confessed on his own initiative, and exposed the vicious schemes of the Cao family and the Song family. "

Emperor Chongkang nodded and said, "In that case, summon the witness to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after, Bai Ziye was brought to the Jinluan Palace.

Under the questioning of Emperor Chongkang, Bai Ziye quickly revealed everything about the conspiracy between the Cao family and the Song family.

After hearing what happened, Emperor Chongkang suddenly laughed. After a while, Emperor Chongkang said with a gloomy face: "Okay, you are indeed my good minister!"

"In order to resist the new law, you really put all your efforts into it! You really have such a good mind and good methods! If this plan fails, will you assassinate the king next?"

boom!
As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials in the court knelt down, even Prince Zhongshun was no exception.

Emperor Chongkang waved his hands boredly and said, "Everyone, get up."

After all the officials stood up, Emperor Chongkang looked at Prince Zhongshun and asked, "With Bai Ziye's testimony, what do you say now?"

Prince Zhongshun said in a deep voice: "Brother, I believe that the officials who are plotting behind the scenes are insidious and cunning. How can we tolerate the existence of such rebellious officials and traitors in our Great Xia court?"

"My brother, please investigate this matter thoroughly. Bai Ziye, the head of the Bai family, must know more. I ask the three departments to interrogate Bai Ziye."

Bai Ziye was extremely frightened when he heard what Prince Zhongshun said.

He knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Please spare my life, your Majesty, and don't put me in prison. They are ruthless and kill without batting an eye. Once I am put in prison, they will definitely kill me." Your Majesty! Please spare your life!"

Hearing Bai Ziye's words, Jia Huan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with surprise.

babble?I really didn't expect that Bai Ziye would have such a great assist!
The more afraid of death he shows now, and the more he describes those ministers as demons who eat people without spitting out their bones, the greater the backlash will be after he dies.

After Emperor Chongkang heard Bai Ziye's words, he sneered again.

He couldn't help but said: "Listen, this is your reputation among the people! It's really good!"

"I want to ask you, if Bai Ziye is put in prison, will he really die?"

At this time, Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but said: "Brother, since you are afraid that someone will secretly kill someone and silence him, let me bring Bai Ziye into my palace for protection."

"My brother, I don't believe it. Who in my palace is capable of killing people and silencing them!"

After hearing what Prince Zhongshun said, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, then take him to your palace! This matter must be carefully examined. I also want to see which of my good ministers can do such a thing." Something evil is coming!”

Bai Ziye stopped making trouble when he heard that Prince Zhongshun personally took him to the palace for protection.

Jia Huan, on the other hand, was shocked and dumbfounded by Prince Zhongshun's coquettish behavior.

This Prince Zhongshun is really brave!
Jia Huan was thinking in his heart, why did Prince Zhongshun want to find out the mastermind behind this?Isn't he the mastermind behind this?

But if he is not, how should his letters be explained?

For a moment, Jia Huan couldn't guess Prince Zhongshun's intentions.

But it doesn't matter, there will be no need to guess tomorrow.

The impeachment of Jia Huan came to an end temporarily because of Bai Ziye's appearance.

Emperor Chongkang directly announced his resignation from the court, and then kept Jia Huan.

"Jinyu, are you hungry? Come, have a meal with me."

Ok?
Just now in the Jinluan Palace, you clearly called me Jia Aiqing?

Now he calls me by my name, so affectionately?

Jia Huan said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongkang took Jia Huan directly to the study room, and soon the food was set.

Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but said: "Jinyu, don't be formal, come sit down and have a meal with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Jia Huan sat down, he looked and saw that there were only four dishes and one soup.

Jia Huan couldn't help but be in awe.

The rumors are indeed true. Emperor Chongkang was really a very frugal emperor. He only had four dishes and one soup for his daily meals.

But looking at the rice again, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, um, the rice may not be enough. I have a large amount of rice, so I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Emperor Chongkang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and ordered someone to bring more rice.

Not long after, a bucket of rice was delivered directly from the imperial kitchen.

A palace maid served a bowl to Jia Huan. Jia Huan waved her hand and said, "This bowl is too small and I don't feel comfortable eating it. Do you have a bigger bowl? Get a bigger bowl."

Emperor Chongkang laughed again.

After a while, the little palace maid changed the bowl to a bigger one. Jia Huan picked up the bowl and couldn't help but eat it.

He had eaten in Ping'an County in the morning. It was already afternoon and he was really hungry.

He ate the rice in big mouthfuls. After three times, five and two, he had already finished a bowl of rice.

The palace maid quickly continued to serve him rice.

Emperor Chongkang saw that Jia Huan's food was delicious, and he couldn't help but have an appetite. He actually ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.

After Emperor Chongkang finished eating, he put down his chopsticks.

If it were other ministers who saw the emperor put down their chopsticks, even if they were not full, they would put down their chopsticks and stop eating, so as not to leave a bad impression in front of the emperor.

But how could Jia Huan care about this?
He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, have you eaten?"

Emperor Chongkang smiled and said: "My appetite is not as big as yours. I have eaten well, and you eat slowly. Only when you are full can you have the strength to do things."

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, just finish eating."

After saying that, he directly pulled all four dishes to his side and began to eat vigorously.

After a while, all four dishes were left with only soup and water, and most of the rice was dried out.

It actually made Emperor Chongkang next to him very happy. (End of chapter)
