"Your Majesty, the official post reported that there was indeed this matter yesterday!"

Hearing this, Gao Gong chuckled in his heart and hurriedly bowed down.

"Okay, since you participated in the Qizhou Assassin Shi Su Cheng and the Ministry of Rites member Fang Xuanling for favoritism in the township test, I just asked before the discussion today, which can be regarded as a matter of Gao Qing's heart!"

On the main seat, Emperor Sui nodded slightly.

"This.... Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gao Gong exhaled a long breath, and subconsciously glanced at the prince on the stage,

At this time, when the important ministers on the main hall heard Emperor Sui's words, their expressions moved in unison, if this kind of thing was usually put at the end, it would definitely be discussed at the end, but I didn't expect that this time it was actually placed at the beginning, so it seems that Emperor Sui is actually paying attention to this matter.

But what he did in his heart is unknown.

At this time, Yang Xiu, the king of Yue, even subconsciously looked outside the hall, he really wanted to know what the Meng Fan he wanted to protect looked like, while the king of loyalty and filial piety was concerned and calm.

However, at this time, Yang Xiu looked back at Gao Gong with a trace of resentment in his eyes, saying that in order to get the 300,000 taels of silver, he had personally written a letter to Gao Gong hoping to release Meng Fan, and when the time came, he would only participate in Su Cheng and Fang Xuanling.

As a result, Gao Gong's reply was only three words, "Impossible!"

Undoubtedly, this is equivalent to slapping Yue Wangfu in the face alive, but he has no choice but to endure it.

As for how to keep Meng Fan, Yang Xiu actually didn't have any score in his heart at all, he just thought that if he was questioned at that time, he would stand up and beg for mercy!

"Your Majesty, before summoning Su Cheng and others into the palace, the minister still has a matter to plead. ”

Just when everyone thought that the confrontation between the crown prince and the forces of King Jin was about to officially begin, Gao Gong bowed down again.

"Gao Qing is here!"

"Your Majesty, half a month ago, Xiucai in Qizhou Mansion made trouble, among which there was a famous Xiucai named Wu Yuntian, who claimed to be Meng Fan to replace Xie Yuan, and he also came to the capital and was willing to enter the palace to confront Meng Fan!

I have to say that the old fox is the old fox, obviously it was the Prime Minister who took the initiative to find Wu Yuntian, but now in Gao Gong's mouth, it is all Wu Yuntian's own decision, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"In that case, let's announce it together!"

Emperor Sui waved lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao bowed down, bowed his head and was secretly happy.

Before going to the palace, what he was most worried about was that he was not qualified to enter the Jinluan Hall at all with an identity like Wu Yuntian, and at this time, Emperor Sui promised that the odds of victory on his side could already reach ninety percent!

Next, it's time for Meng Fan to expose the stuffing, Su Cheng and others to be convicted!

In this way, after half a pillar of incense, Su Cheng, Meng Fan, and Wu Yuntian entered the hall together and saluted.

"Chen Qi Prefecture Thorn Shi Su Cheng..... Fang Xuanling, a member of the Ministry of Rites...... Knock on Your Majesty!"

Swish!

The next moment, the eyes of all the courtiers gathered on Meng Fan's body, and even Wu Jianzhang, the king of loyalty and filial piety, slowly opened his eyes and looked up and down.

Recently, the word Meng Fan can be said to have spread throughout the officialdom of the entire capital, almost to the point where no official knows and no official knows.

In this regard, Meng Fan looked calm, he was not frightened by such a formation, and he didn't even look at the famous Sui Lord Yang Jian on the main seat.

On the contrary, Wu Yuntian, who was bent on proving himself, trembled in his legs, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head!

In terms of identity, he is just a showman, much worse than Meng Fan.

Fortunately, when he finally glanced at Meng Fan and found that Meng Fan's demeanor was so calm, a force of disbelief finally overpowered the fear,

"He's a person who cheats for personal gain and doesn't know anything can do this, what am I afraid of?

Thinking about it, Wu Yuntian finally adjusted slowly, his legs didn't shake anymore, but he still didn't dare to raise his head.

"Su Cheng, Fang Xuanling, Qizhou Xie Yuan Meng Fan, there were people who cheated on favoritism in the township test before, but is there such a thing?"

When everyone stood still, Lord Sui didn't ink and went straight to the point.

"Favoritism and irregularities? Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing! The ministers and others are all selecting talents for the Great Sui in accordance with the rules of the township examination, how dare they show favoritism? And they do not dare to show favoritism, on the contrary, Qizhou Xiucai gathered people to make trouble, obviously there are people behind the instigation to deliberately suppress Meng Jieyuan, in a vain attempt to criticize the fairness and justice of the imperial examination, and the ministers ask His Majesty to find out this matter and return justice to the ministers!"

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng and Fang Xuanling opened their mouths in unison and resolutely denied the matter.

They were all Meng Fan's people now, and since they learned the reason for being summoned, they didn't plan to let the Gao family pass this level easily.

As for their son-in-law's talent, others don't know it, so naturally they won't know it.

This is the first step, and in the future, they plan to refer to it!

"Humph!"

Seeing that the two denied it, Gao Gong immediately snorted coldly, and thought to himself: "It's all a dead duck with a hard mouth at this point, wait and see how you end!"

However, the other courtiers such as King Zhongxiao were surprised when they heard Su Cheng and Fang Xuanling's words, especially the people on the side of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, they didn't expect Su Cheng to be so calm.

After all, this faction knows that Meng Fanzhong's Xie Yuan is in the relationship with Yang Qing, the son of the backer king.

"Oh? This is a bit interesting, you said that he cheated, and he said that someone made trouble from it and deliberately suppressed it! Gao Qing, you were involved in this matter at the beginning, and now that the person has arrived, I don't know how Gao Qing plans to inquire?"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Emperor Sui nodded slightly, and then looked at Gao Gong.

"Your Majesty, since Lord Su and others are unwilling to admit it, the minister suggested that Qizhou Xie Yuan Meng Fan and Xiucai Wu Yuntian can write a volume of interpretation again on the spot, and it is clear which is stronger and which is weak!"

At this time, Gao Gong didn't want to delay any longer, so he just opened the ratio. As long as Meng Fan can't answer, no matter how many words he says, it will be in vain! Moreover, Wu Yuntian's test paper will definitely shock the court! When the time comes, it will be up to them to see how they round.

"Okay, that's fair, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!"

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Sui waved his sleeves, and the old man beside him immediately retreated.

Soon, two tables, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were placed in front of Meng Fan and Wu Yuntian.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to give you a question!"

Seeing that everything was ready, Gao Gong looked at Meng Fan and smiled coldly, then bowed down again.

"In that case, then with the title of "The Mean", the two of you can write down the interpretation of the sixteenth paragraph of the eighth volume!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In the main hall, hearing the title of Emperor Sui, Meng Fan smiled faintly, this is really not any challenge, the Four Books and the Five Classics have already been memorized backwards, and he knows clearly what the sixteenth paragraph of the eighth volume of the mean.

Picking up the pen, there was almost no hesitation, Meng Fan began to write, but to the surprise of the courtiers, at this moment, Wu Yuntian next to him was embarrassed, and he stopped talking, as if there was something difficult.
