Seeing that Kangxi was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something, Yinzuo hurriedly continued.
"Once you get addicted to something like longevity cream, it's almost impossible to quit. It can not only destroy a person's will, but also destroy an entire dynasty. Do you know where your son got this box of longevity cream on your desk?"
Yinzuo knew that simply talking about the harmful effects of Fushou Cream would not necessarily impress Kangxi and make him determined to ban the spread of Fushou Cream in the land of Qing Dynasty, so Yinzuo directly attacked the two points that Kangxi cared about most.
If you ask Kangxi what the two things he cared about most were, they would definitely be his kingdom and his son. If he knew that someone was trying to use the longevity cream to murder his son and overthrow his kingdom, he would definitely not tolerate it.
As expected by Yinzuo, when Kangxi heard that this thing could not only destroy people's will but also overthrow his kingdom, his face suddenly became much uglier.
"Where did you get this from? Whoever put this thing in front of you and tried to tempt you to smoke it is simply a person who deserves death."
It is not surprising that Kangxi had such a conspiracy theory. It was true that everyone in the court and the country knew that the two princes he favored the most were Crown Prince Yinreng and the Sixth Prince Yinzuo in front of him. If they wanted to do something bad, they would naturally have to hit the part that hurt him the most.
Seeing that Kangxi had taken the bait, Yinzuo stopped keeping the secret and revealed the answer directly.
"This was given to Yin Yu by his cousin today. Luckily, he didn't keep it to himself after receiving it, but instead showed it off to me. That's how he escaped this disaster. Otherwise, if he had gotten his hands on this thing, his life would have been ruined."
"You bastard, come here, bring me Arsongha..."
Seeing that Kangxi was about to go and get the person in a rage, Yinzuo quickly gave a look to Liang Jiugong, asking him to go outside and stop the guards for a while, while he stood up and walked to Kangxi's side.
"Wait a minute, Khan. This Arsong'a probably doesn't have the intentions you think. I guess he just feels good after taking it himself and wants to use it to curry favor with Yin? That's all. As the saying goes, a glimpse of the leopard through the tube can reveal a glimpse of the whole. It can be seen that this longevity cream is very popular among the powerful and wealthy. I think there are also many people among the Eight Banners who are taking it. The Eight Banners Army has always been the cornerstone of our Qing Dynasty. If the Eight Banners are corrupted by this longevity cream, the harm to our Qing Dynasty will be immeasurable. I think that since we have discovered the problem, we should start to deal with it as soon as possible, and we must use thundering means. No matter whether they are Manchu or Han, as long as anyone is found taking longevity cream on the land of Qing Dynasty, especially those who sell it, they will be severely punished. The death penalty is the minimum. If the amount sold is too large, the whole family can be punished."
As the saying goes, severe punishments are needed in troubled times. Although Yinzuo knew that since the longevity cream had already flowed into the Qing Dynasty and some people had made profits from it, it was basically impossible to completely eradicate it. After all, people die for money and birds die for food, and many people take risks for profit. However, Yinzuo still wanted to do his best to curb it before this thing became popular in this land. He hoped that through these severe punishments, those who wanted to take risks would understand that if you dare to move, I can kill you. Not only you, but your entire family will also die.
"Okay, I will summon the ministers to discuss this matter. Does Yinzuo want to stay?"
If it were any other time, Yinzuo would naturally not want to stay and listen, but now he was afraid. He was afraid that if he left, there would be no future for this matter, so he nodded. Seeing that his son Yinzuo, who always hated court affairs, was now interested in court affairs, Kangxi's expression couldn't help but look a little better.
It seemed that Kangxi really attached great importance to this matter. Not only the ministers in charge of various departments came, but also all of Yinzuo's brothers who had already entered the court, from one to seven, came.
Yinzhen and his companions hurried over after receiving Kangxi's order. When they entered the room and saw Yinzuo standing next to Kangxi, they couldn't help but be stunned. You know, although Yinzuo was a frequent visitor to the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace, he had never appeared during meetings before.
"Your Highness, I greet you, Khan Ama."
Although everyone was puzzled as to why the Sixth Prince appeared in the Imperial Study while they were discussing matters today, they also knew that since the Emperor had tacitly approved of it, they had no right to speak, so they all ignored Yinzuo's greetings to Kangxi.
"Get up, Yinzuo, tell the ministers and your brothers what you just said to me."
Although it was Yinzuo's first time to participate in such a meeting, he had already prepared a speech in his mind for a long time before everyone arrived, so he was naturally not too nervous at this moment. When he heard Kangxi's instructions, he stepped forward, saluted Kangxi, and responded.
"Yes, Khan Ama."
Next, Yinzuo repeated to everyone exactly what he had said to Kangxi. Yinzuo had a good memory and eloquence, and his narration of the whole incident was clear and concise, making it easy for people to understand what he wanted to express.
"Sixth Prince, you mean that this longevity cream is addictive and extremely harmful to the body. Do you have any evidence?"
Yinzuo only saw today the evidence of where the longevity cream came from, but this is actually very difficult, and he will know after trying it.
"Khan Ama, this gentleman actually wants to see the evidence. This is easy to do. Send someone to the death row to bring over a criminal who has committed a heinous crime. Have someone feed him some longevity cream, and then you'll know."
The death row prisoner was brought in soon. Yinzuo estimated the amount and scooped out a ball of longevity paste from the box and asked the young eunuch to give it to him. He then left the rest to time.
