No one likes the censor, including the emperor.

No one can guarantee that they are perfect, and there will always be problems to one degree or another. Anyone who is targeted by the censor will be very embarrassed even if they are not injured, because their duty is to impeach others.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the censor that the imperial government can maintain a certain degree of clarity. If one day even the censor's platform is turbid, it can only mean that the dynasty has exhausted its power, just like the former Wei Dynasty when the building was about to collapse.

Whether they were in power or the doctor in charge, most of them had been impeached by the imperial censors. Even Emperor Kaiping himself had experienced those words as sharp as a knife. However, these censors would not be punished for their words unless they really offended Emperor Kaiping.

This is just like last year's censor Liu Zhen who wanted to impeach Wang Pingzhang with old stories.

In addition, Emperor Kaiping has always been very tolerant to the censors and paid great attention to maintaining the fairness and integrity of the censorship. Last year, Sun Dacheng and Fang Xun teamed up to plot Pei Yue's business. Afterwards, Emperor Kaiping came to his senses and treated Sun Dacheng

He just shouted to the Liangyi Palace and reprimanded him, but sent the censor Zhongcheng Fangxun out of the capital and went to a remote place in Yunzhou to serve as the governor.

From the deputy minister of Yushitai to the lower-level governor of a bitter and cold place like Yunzhou, this was already a very severe relegation, which shows how much the emperor valued Yushitai.

The Yushitai has the Yushi Dafu as its official officer, the Yushi Zhongcheng as deputy, and has the jurisdiction of serving the Yushi, serving the Yushi in the palace, and supervising the Yushi.

Although they have impeached everyone from emperors to exiled officials, no one in this dynasty has ever impeached a prince or prince.

Shi Yushi Jianrong's short sentence immediately caused an uproar.

The reason is very simple. Emperor Kaiping did not establish a heir apparent, and did not allow courtiers to comment on the matter. At the same time, he did not give the princes the right to observe the government. If these days, the Huang nobles are just of high status, but they are outside the court system. Even though they are few and far between.

The adult prince has been trying to reach out to the court in recent years, but these actions are secretive and minor and cannot affect the government, so no one cares.

Jian Rong's impeachment of King Lu this time was the dynasty's first attack on the prince.

The surprise on Emperor Kaiping's face did not seem to be fake, but he soon returned to his usual indifferent expression. He looked at Jian Rong from a distance and asked in a cold voice: "Why are you impeaching King Lu?"

Jian Rong didn't seem to notice the suddenly solemn atmosphere in the palace. He said calmly: "King Lu is a prince and your Majesty's eldest son. He should cultivate his body, mind, and character, and set an example for all the princes. However, I learned that,

King Lu controlled Qibao Pavilion with Xu Song, the brother of the princess, and made a lot of money over the years. If this is just the case, it would be fine. After all, before King Lu and the princess got married, the Xu family was one of the owners of Qibao Pavilion."

He raised his head slightly, looked at Emperor Kaiping with a clear and peaceful gaze, and his tone gradually turned passionate: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, but you are still cautious in everything and will not compete with the people for profit. King Lu is greedy and already has a way to make money like Qibao Pavilion.

, he actually wants to seize other people's property, is this worthy of His Majesty's high expectations for him?"

Many people looked shocked because the hidden meaning of Jian Rong's words was a bit bluffing.

Combined with the reality that Emperor Kaiping has not yet established a heir apparent, the so-called "high expectations" are worth pondering.

As expected, Emperor Kaiping's expression became increasingly gloomy, and his voice was filled with chills: "Tell me, whose property Liu Xian has usurped?"

Jian Rong raised his head and replied: "Zhongshanzi Pei Yue!"

He turned towards Pei Yue and said loudly: "Zhongshanzi, just now you presented the recipe for briquettes to His Majesty, and said that you could help the court expand sales channels outside Kyoto. What I don't quite understand is why.

Do you want to exclude Kyoto, the best place in the Liang Dynasty? Isn’t it the best of both worlds to cooperate with the imperial court and continue to expand your business in Kyoto? "

Once again becoming the focus of the civil and military attention of the entire dynasty, Pei Yue was not proud, but felt very complicated.

He raised his eyes and looked at Jian Rong, vaguely confused.

Just like when he saw Liu Zhen step forward to impeach Wang Pingzhang.

The news of King Lu's attempt to acquire the Xiangyun Company was cleverly disclosed to the sixth prince Liu Zhi. This was the strategy he had set with Mr. Xi in Green Willow Manor. However, if Liu Zhi had sent people to impeach King Lu, the rhetoric would certainly not be so direct and harsh.

, because it is easy for Emperor Kaiping to think about the fight for the throne. The emperor's thinking is different from ordinary people. When encountering similar things, he will definitely think that it is a conspiracy, and then suspect everyone who is suspicious.

Mr. Xi asked Pei Yue not to interfere in the fight between the princes at this time, so he asked him to only reveal the news to the sixth prince Liu Zhi.

Similarly, Liu Zhi obviously has a master who knows the secrets behind him, so he naturally needs to find a scapegoat. Is there anyone in the court who is more suitable than those Qingliu from Yushitai?

But what's the picture? Did he really not know that this impeachment would offend the emperor?

Liu Zhen's warning is still in front of you, doing this will really kill someone.

Facing Jian Rong's determined eyes, Pei Yue stepped forward again and said calmly: "Master Jian, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here."

Jian Rong shook his head slightly and said loudly: "Pei Yue, His Majesty is here, and all the civil and military officials are here. The country has its own laws, and even the princes cannot violate them. You don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth.

"

Pei Yue felt helpless in his heart. He was not afraid, but he just didn't want Mr. Shi Yushi to go down the road of death.

Don't you see that the face of the man on the dragon throne is already very ugly?

Pei Yue's original plan was to step on Sun Dacheng first and use this opportunity to provoke a dispute between the parties over briquettes. Liu Zhi's people would definitely be unable to hold back and then "passively" bully the eldest prince.

Speak out his own affairs. As long as he masters the scale of his words, he can completely expose himself and play the role of the victim to avoid the emperor's suspicion that he is setting a trap for King Lu.

However, things in the world will never develop exactly according to his plan.

The sixth prince Liu Zhi never thought about letting his own people take action. After all, it has been very difficult for him to manage some power over the years, so how could he be exposed so easily? If you want to impeach the eldest prince, the person who takes action must have a certain degree of weight, otherwise

He is not even qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty.

Jian Rong said seriously: "It's hard to say that the actions of Sun Dacheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and Zhongcheng Fangxun, the former Yushi, were not influenced by Qibao Pavilion last year. Obviously they will not give up, so they caused so much chaos last month just to force them to

You bowed your head and surrendered, handing over the business and the coal mine. In fact, there is no need to bring matters between these merchants to the court. I can also distinguish the priorities of the matters."

Seeing that Pei Yue refused to speak, he stopped pressing and turned to Emperor Kaiping and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what conflicts there are between Qibao Pavilion and Xiangyun Company, I will not interfere. But the eldest prince is a prince and actually came forward in person.

Force Pei Yue to transfer his property to Qibao Pavilion. Your Majesty may

Xu didn't know that the monthly income of this briquette business was as high as hundreds of thousands taels, and it was still increasing. Taking into account more than a hundred branches and the natural coal mine, the value was more than one million taels? However, the eldest prince said that he wanted to

Pei Yue sold the entire property for 150,000 taels."

Jian Rong could no longer hold back the anger in her heart and said sternly: "Although the prince is noble, he should take his own reputation into consideration, and he should also follow the example of his father and restrain himself. How is such behavior different from that of a robber? It is simply unreasonable!"

"shut up!"
