I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 135: Impeachment by the Censor
Censor Liu acted as if he was not afraid of death, as if he would die in the Golden Palace if Kangxi did not listen to him.
Censor Liu, in a somewhat crazy manner, spoke harshly to the newly appointed Marquis of Rongguo, Jia She, and his son Jia Cheng, describing the father and son as unforgivable criminals.
If both of them were not male, Censor Liu would have almost said that they were seducing the emperor.
Yinzhen frowned as he listened to Censor Liu's slander against Jia Cheng, and in his heart he had already sentenced this man to death.
Can anyone be a censor? Can you impeach someone without discussing the facts and just relying on speculation? It's really nonsense.
Censor Liu had never met Cheng Ge'er, and didn't know how knowledgeable, smart and cute Cheng Ge'er was, so he just talked nonsense.
Such a person is really unfit to be an official.
Yinzhen was already thinking of ten ways to plot against Censor Liu, but he had to keep this man anyway.
There should be no fools in the court.
The eighth prince Yinsi listened to the slightly noisy voice of Censor Liu, and still maintained a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face.
He watched with satisfaction as Censor Liu jumped up and down, slandering the people of Rongguo Mansion with the most vicious language.
Yinsi observed the expressions of his brothers with his peripheral vision, and finally fixed his eyes on Hongxi.
The expression on Hongxi's face was still gentle, as if he was wearing a mask. Yinsi sneered in his heart, this little bastard has learned to be cunning, and they have the same personality.
Yinsi is a man of deep thoughts, and is good at using a gentle and elegant mask to win people's hearts. Now Hongxi is doing the same, which makes Yinsi extremely uncomfortable.
It turns out that there is nothing good in the prince’s house.
Hongxi was thinking whether he should jump out to refute Censor Liu. Given the emperor's preference for Jia Cheng, maybe if he stood up for Jia Cheng, he would get unexpected results.
However, seeing that Censor Liu was cursing so vigorously, he decided to wait for him to finish. He also wanted to see the reactions of the other uncles.
Censor Liu made a long speech, scolding everyone from the late Jia Daishan to Jia She, and even brought up trivial matters to prove that the father and son were talentless and immoral.
Then he shifted his target of insults to Jia Jing, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong of Ningguo Mansion, none of whom could escape Liu Yushi's sharp tongue.
Jia Cheng was young and had no reputation before, so Censor Liu made up a story and secretly speculated that Jia Cheng was extremely cunning at a young age and would become a threat to others when he grew up.
Censor Liu was talking nonsense. The Rong and Ning mansions were a place full of filth and dirt. Only the two stone lions in front of the gate were relatively clean, while the mansions were actually filthy.
What made Censor Liu even more indignant was that the emperor actually favored these treacherous and evil people so much!
They are just some idle young men who sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. How could they have been promoted to higher positions? I think it was just because of their ancestors' meritorious service!
Censor Liu held his head high and chest puffed out, his face filled with indignation and unwillingness.
In his opinion, with his talents, being just a trivial censor was a waste of his abilities.
The title of king and prime minister rightfully belongs to him, and the person who should be promoted to a higher position and given a higher rank should also be him!
But now, Jia She was awarded the title of marquis because he had a good father and a good grandmother. How could Censor Liu accept this?
It’s a pity that Liu Yushi never dared to mention Jia She’s grandmother, who had a high status.
After all, Censor Liu was a timid person by nature, and he knew very well how much Emperor Kangxi valued this wet nurse.
Therefore, he could only pick on the weak and take out his anger on Jia She.
The Rongguo Mansion has been silent for so many years, it should continue to decline, why should it make a comeback?
Kangxi sat on the high dragon throne, his face expressionless. He was distracted thinking about Cheng Ge'er just now, but he heard the clown below cursing and slandering Cheng Ge'er.
Kangxi wished he could grind this man to dust.
Kangxi's expression became more and more dangerous. Liang Jiugong, who accompanied Kangxi to court, wanted to stick his head in his crotch. The emperor's aura was too scary.
He must be very angry.
How come Censor Liu has such a big mouth that he lets everything out? He doesn't even ask why Jia She was made a marquis. He knows nothing, so what are you doing jumping out here to cause trouble?
Liang Jiugong had already forgotten that Kangxi was going to announce to the public the method of using cowpox to prevent smallpox at the morning court today. Everyone was confused about what happened yesterday, and no one knew anything except Yinzhen.
But Yinzhen kept his mouth shut, and no one could find out what had happened yesterday that allowed Rongguo Mansion to regain the emperor's favor.
Most people speculated that it was the deposed prince who had some influence. After all, Jia She’s former backer was the deposed prince, and apart from him, he had no other backer.
It couldn't be that Jia She's grandmother came back to life and came to plead for mercy with Kangxi.
Compared to that outrageous guess, the most likely scenario is that the deposed crown prince returns to the court.
The rise of Rongguo Mansion is a signal.
When the Eighth Prince thought of this possibility, he became anxious. He now regarded himself as the invisible prince, and he felt that the other brothers were nothing to be afraid of.
The only variable is the deposed prince. He thought bitterly in his heart that the deposed prince became the prince just because he had a good mother.
Although he does not have a capable mother, he will rely on himself to ascend to a high position, and he will never allow the deposed prince to return to the court.
But the matter of re-establishing the crown prince was not a question of whether the Eighth Prince wanted to do so, but a question of whether Kangxi wanted to do so.
Kangxi has made up his mind to let Yinreng return to the court to balance the forces of all parties. Otherwise, Kangxi would be upset watching his other sons jumping around.
Censor Liu was speaking with his mouth dry and saliva flying everywhere, and he didn't notice at all that the old nobles were looking at him as if he were a dead man.
Although the Rongguo Mansion has declined, it was once glorious and had countless relatives and old friends. Although the interactions have decreased, there is still affection between them.
Censor Liu scolded all the veteran nobles and discredited them to the point of being useless. Who could tolerate this?
There was murderous intent in Wang Ziteng's eyes. He had originally planned to go to Rongguo Mansion after court today to congratulate his good brother Jia She.
He didn't expect that a clown would come out to slander his brother. How could he tolerate this?
Wang Ziteng was already getting ready to come out and argue with Censor Liu. If Censor Liu couldn't understand reason, he knew a little bit about fighting.
Didn't Censor Liu say that the old nobles were just a bunch of reckless men? Then let him know where the word "reckless" came from.
Kangxi's face became increasingly gloomy, as depressing and dull as the sky before a storm.
When Censor Liu saw this, he felt secretly proud of himself, thinking that his words had hit the nail on the head.
Jia She has thrown out the brick, and now he needs to attract the jade.
He continued righteously, "Your Majesty, you must not be blinded by treacherous people and entrust an important task to an incompetent person just because of past friendship!
What talent of Jia She deserves your high regard? It is really chilling that you use people based on personal connections!
And the person who recommended Jia She to you must have ulterior motives and bad intentions."
Kangxi's face was tense, his eyes were wide open, and he asked in a low voice: "Liu Yushi, do you know who recommended Jia She?"
Censor Liu straightened his back and answered righteously, "That person is naturally someone who has a close relationship with Jia She, the deposed crown prince.
Everyone knows that Jia She was once the deposed prince's study companion, and the two had a deep friendship and were inseparable.
After hearing this, Kangxi frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He said coldly: "Liu Yushi, stop talking nonsense! How can you stir up trouble here regarding the dethronement of the crown prince?"
Censor Liu did not flinch. He fell to his knees, kowtowed, and cried out in tears, "Your Majesty, please think twice! Have you forgotten the sins committed by the deposed crown prince in the past?
If you insist on not withdrawing the titles bestowed on Jia She and his son Jia Cheng, I would rather die than not advise you!
My loyalty to Your Majesty is self-evident. Everything I do is for the sake of the people and the stability of the country!
If Your Majesty appoints treacherous and corrupt officials, I will die in this hall. I do not want people in future generations to laugh at the Qing emperors for their incompetence!
What can an ignorant six-year-old child do to benefit the country? He is not a royal relative, so why should he be granted the title of earl?
The people who recommended Jia Cheng want to destroy the Qing Dynasty. If the people in high positions in the future are all ignorant children, the country will be in danger. "
Censor Liu's words are becoming more and more illogical, and he is just slandering for the sake of slandering.
At this moment, as if they had discussed it beforehand, Yinzhen, Hongxi and Wang Ziteng all stood up in unison.
Soon after, Duke Niu and other nobles also stood up.
These people could turn a blind eye to Censor Liu's criticism of Jia She, but they could never tolerate his slander of the prince!
You know, the relationship between the emperor and the prince has gradually eased recently, and maybe one day the prince will be restored to the throne.
At this critical moment, Censor Liu's actions were extremely sinister! He was clearly using the matter of Jia She and Jia Cheng to attack the prince!
Now that Censor Liu has finally revealed his true intentions, those ministers who supported the deposed crown prince will naturally not sit idly by, and they have stepped forward to impeach this sinister Censor Liu.
Kangxi ignored the ministers who were arguing and their faces turned red with anger, and chose to turn a blind eye to the scene in which Wang Ziteng strangled Censor Liu's neck.
There was chaos down there, and the Ninth Prince took advantage of the chaos to kick Yinzhen in the butt, then hid behind the Tenth Prince and pretended to be innocent.
Censor Liu collapsed to the ground, nearly strangled to death by Wang Ziteng, and rolled his eyes in pain.
Kangxi slapped the dragon throne and stood up angrily, and the audience suddenly fell silent.
Liang Jiugong received Kangxi's gaze, took out the prescription for treating smallpox and the method for treating cowpox, and recited them in the hall.
The Eighth Prince almost couldn't maintain the warm smile on his face. It turned out to be a prescription for treating smallpox. Damn it, was this offered by Jia She?
He took a wrong step!
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth rose seven degrees. With this smallpox prescription, there was a reasonable explanation for him being conferred the title of prince, Jia She being conferred the title of marquis, and Jia Cheng being conferred the title of earl.
After reading about how to prevent smallpox with cowpox, Liang Jiugong smiled slightly and then slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
Liang Jiugong cleared his throat and said loudly to everyone: "After many tests and verifications, the success rate of this cowpox is almost 100%!
Whether it is a young child of three or four years old, or an elderly person in his sixties or seventies, as long as they are vaccinated with this smallpox vaccine, they will be free from smallpox forever! "
He paused, then continued, "The person who offered this smallpox recipe has truly made an unprecedented contribution! His achievements are enough to be recorded in history and will be remembered forever!"
At this point, Liang Jiugong deliberately raised his voice and shouted in a slightly sharp voice: "This magical recipe was presented by Lord Jia and his son, Lord Rui'an!
The Rongguo Mansion had been attacked by smallpox before, but Earl Ryan, relying on his own medical skills, not only successfully developed a cure, but also created a method to prevent cowpox based on this!
Such a gifted, intelligent and courageous person can truly be said to be a lucky star sent down from heaven, and is a blessing for our Qing Dynasty!"
Hearing Liang Jiugong's words, Censor Liu was stunned. He looked at Nian Gengyao for help.
Nian Gengyao lowered his head and thought to himself, look at what Liu Yushi, this idiot, did. He only gave him a few hints, but did not let Liu Yushi slander Marquis Rong.
It was Censor Liu who rushed forward on his own, it had nothing to do with me.
He is now eager to cut off his relationship with Censor Liu, and sacrifice him for the happiness of the Eighth Master's party.
Censor Liu was at a loss, so Kangxi spoke up, "Censor Liu, now you know why Earl Rui'an was made Earl and why Jia She was made Marquis, right?
Don’t you want to die for your advice? Then I will see whether you dare to die or not.”
Kangxi was really angry and felt sorry for Jia Cheng. Censor Liu must die, and all nine clans must be killed, no, ten clans!
