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

Chapter 377 Jia Mu’s advice
Emperor Chongkang gave an order, and immediately a servant came forward and took Prince Zhongshun out.

The expressions of the officials in the palace could not help but change.

It's not because this punishment is too light, but because this punishment is too severe.

On the surface, it sounds like His Majesty just ordered Prince Zhongshun to shut himself up and think about his mistakes.

But if combined with the time limit, it is actually equivalent to a ban.

Prince Zhongshun was imprisoned in the mansion, and was not allowed to go out or contact outsiders until he died of old age or until Emperor Chongkang died of old age.

Perhaps when the new king takes office, he may have a chance to be pardoned.

However, Prince Zhongshun fell to this end, which was both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, the crime he committed was too great.

Even if there is no treason and rebellion with foreign countries, there is still great suspicion.

Moreover, what he asked the Cao family of Ping'an County to do was too vicious and cruel, and had no bottom line.

The purpose of doing this was actually to oppose the new law.

How could Emperor Chongkang tolerate him?
After Prince Zhongshun was taken away, Jia Huan could faintly feel that many malicious eyes were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Jia Huan naturally knew that Prince Zhongshun was definitely not the only one behind the scenes.

After all, he found more than one letter in Cao's house.

However, he happened to have a grudge against Prince Zhongshun, so he chose to use Prince Zhongshun as his tactic.

As for those ministers who have not been found out, I am afraid they will not give up and still want to get rid of themselves.

If you don't let them be afraid, I'm afraid they will become more and more unscrupulous in the future.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but report to Emperor Chongkang: "Your Majesty, when I copied the Cao family, I didn't just copy a letter."

"In addition to private letters from relatives and friends of the Cao family, there are also several ministers in the court who have also exchanged letters with the head of the Cao family."

Hearing this, a gasp of cold air sounded again in the court hall.

This kid from the Jia family has just defeated Prince Zhongshun. Could he continue to pursue the victory?

This time, I don’t know how many adults will suffer.

Among the officials, several senior officials who had written letters to the Cao family looked extremely ugly.

Although there was nothing inappropriate in the letters they wrote to the head of the Cao family.But who knows what plots this Jia boy has?
And even if there is no conspiracy, just taking out these letters will make them suspect, which will be extremely detrimental to their reputation and future, and they may even be punished.

After listening to Jia Huan's words, Emperor Chongkang asked in a deep voice: "Jia Aiqing, I wonder which of the pillars of the country in this court secretly instigated the Cao family to cause chaos and secretly opposed the new law?"

"Improving the new law is my national policy in Great Xia! Anyone who dares to obstruct it, I will not let him go! Jia Aiqing, tell me who are these people?"

Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, Jia Huan said slowly: "Your Majesty, these adults have written letters to the head of the Cao family."

"However, they did not openly instigate the Cao family to oppose the new law. On the contrary, they also taught the Cao family's head in letters, asking him to support the new law."

"Wei Chen believes that these gentlemen, not only have no faults, but have made meritorious deeds. I will forward these letters to His Majesty, and Your Majesty will know at a glance."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongkang smiled and said: "In that case, then just follow your instructions. If nothing happens, then retreat from the court!"

After retreating from the court, the officials dispersed one after another.Jia Huan was in a humble position, so he let everyone go first, and he stayed at the end before leaving.

All civil and military officials in the court gave Jia Huan rather strange looks when they passed by him.

This child of the Jia family really cannot be treated as a child!

His decisiveness, ruthlessness, cunning, and tact made him worthy of being treated as a real opponent.

Take his actions today as an example, the scimitar and the evidence of the letter. If he had taken it out yesterday, he might not have been able to bring down Prince Zhongshun in one fell swoop.

Prince Zhongshun still has something to quibble with.

And as Prince Zhongshun brought witness Bai Ziye back to the palace, and then Bai Ziye finally died in Prince Zhongshun's palace, Prince Zhongshun had no chance to turn around.

They vaguely felt that even if Bai Ziye was not brought into the palace by Prince Zhongshun, but was instead imprisoned in the sky prison, he would probably die.

After the Jia family defeated Prince Zhongshun, he did not continue to investigate in one go.

Instead, he raised it high and put it down gently, handing over the handle that several people had written to the head of the Cao family to the emperor.

As long as these ministers behave in a way that displeases Emperor Chongkang, Emperor Chongkang can bring these things out at any time.

The board has the greatest threat until it falls.

In the future, if other people want to secretly attack this Jia family child, they also need to weigh in their hearts whether they will incur a counterattack from this Jia family child.

How could this young Jia boy not be frightened by his sophisticated and smooth behavior?
……

Jia Huan returned to Ninglu Hall of Ningguo Mansion and saw Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and other sisters waiting for him in his yard.

Seeing Jia Huan, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huan, you were summoned to the palace early in the morning? Why? Are you okay?"

Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and several other girls all looked at Jia Huan nervously.

Jia Huan felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but smile: "It's nothing, just don't worry."

Then, Jia Huan narrated what happened in the court today.

After hearing this, the girls couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just when they were about to ask for more details, Jia Mu of Xifu sent someone over to ask Jia Huan to come over.

Jia Huan had no choice but to change his clothes and go to Xifu.

After entering Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu hurriedly asked Jia Huan about the court affairs.

Jia Huan had no choice but to recount the experience in the court to Jia Mu.

After hearing this, Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but said: "Amitabha, this is all thanks to the blessing of Bodhisattva."

"Not only are you safe and sound, brother Huan, but the most gratifying thing is that Prince Zhongshun has been imprisoned. He will no longer be able to cause trouble for my Jia family in the future."

"And Brother Huan, you dealt with them very appropriately in the end. You hold the handle on them. They will be more cautious in their future actions and will not dare to act recklessly."

"And if other people want to deal with you, they must think carefully before doing so. Brother Huan, you are indeed a capable person."

"It's just that this matter is still too dangerous. Take this time as an example, it is extremely dangerous. Therefore, I think that if there is a chance, Brother Huan should retreat in time and escape."
