Chapter 368: Response
So, either these three officials dressed as people changed their appearance, or they were local officials, but they learned about it from some official in the capital and then said it.
So these errand men immediately went to the various city gates to check, and found that there was no such person in the official registration of entering Beijing today, so they hurriedly went back to report to Li Pei.
Li Pei rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand to make them stand down.
It stands to reason that this is not a big deal, but after all, the facts have been distorted, and there are more than one or two victims, so he is still a little angry.
At this moment, Gonggong Liu came in and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Shoufu asks to see you." ”
Li Pei also wanted to talk to him about it, so he immediately let him in.
Jiang Chuanxiong had just learned about this, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up, even slandering him, even the emperor and Jiang Yuetang were slandered, he couldn't swallow this breath, besides, Jiang Yuetang was going to be an official in the future, and now that he was smeared like this, how could he straighten his waist and be a man in the future? Thinking of the disrespect of these rumor-mongers to the emperor, he was also very worried that he would anger the emperor, so he hurriedly came to see him.
As soon as Jiang Chuanxiong entered the Yinghua Palace, he knelt down towards Li Pei and said: "Because of the achievements of the Yue Court, Your Majesty is also criticized by others, it is really the sin of Weichen, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Li Pei hurriedly motioned for him to get up and said, "This is obviously someone deliberately slandering, Jiang Aiqing doesn't have to be ashamed." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong sat down and asked, "Your Majesty thinks this matter should be handled?"
It's not that he is not assertive, in fact, he has already come up with a few methods on the way here, but as a courtier, he should still listen to the monarch's opinion first.
Li Pei leaned back on the chair slightly, and his whole body was in a half-lying state, rubbing his hand while replying: "I have sent someone down to investigate, but there has been no substantial progress in the investigation for most of the day, which shows that this is a premeditated and planned action, and the person who acted may have changed his face." ”
This means that although the court has tried its best to investigate, the main culprit is not easy to find out.
Jiang Chuanxiong also understood very well, so he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty has Lao." ”
"I will continue to send people to investigate, but this line alone will not work, and it is best to take action to prove it as soon as possible, so that the rumors can be self-defeating. ”
Jiang Chuanxiong nodded and said, "The minister thought of a way on the way here - since Yueting's results have aroused people's suspicions, then, in order to prove her ability, the best way is to directly give her another exam, and this exam must invite a group of people to come to witness." ”
Due to the urgency of the incident, he had not yet had time to inform his family, so he did not have time to discuss this idea with his family. He knew very well that letting Jiang Yuetang participate in this assessment again and let a lot of people watch around was a great challenge for Jiang Yuetang, but it was also the most convincing way for everyone.
As long as Jiang Yuetang gets a high score in this assessment, she can save her image among the people, and therefore let her get more people's attention.
Li Pei felt that this method was very good, so he nodded and said, "Let's do it." ”
Then, Li Pei immediately gathered the people of the invigilation team to discuss the question matter, and agreed that the exam would be held at 7:15 a.m. at the Haoyue Palace, and a hundred people would be invited to watch.
After learning of this arrangement, Jiang Chuanxiong's heart calmed down a little, so he resigned and returned home.
In the Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan were talking in a low voice in the living room with sad faces.
They had just learned about the rumors on the street from a subordinate, and they all felt very angry and uneasy, so in order not to make Jiang Yuetang sad, they didn't tell her about it immediately.
"Ting'er's reputation has been ruined. Zhen Huiyuan was so anxious that her tears were about to fall.
Mrs. Tao comforted: "Don't worry too much, there is always a way." He also said: "This time, it is obvious that someone is secretly doing evil, and now it involves Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely not sit idly by." ”
Zhen Huiyuan nodded, but still had a sad face.
The most important thing at the moment is to quickly stop the rumors outside, and Zhen Huiyuan has no clue what the way to stop is for a while.
Just when she was sad, Jiang Chuanxiong walked in, and she immediately greeted her like a savior.
"You know everything about Ting'er, right?" asked Zhen Huiyuan, the tears that she had been holding back could no longer help rolling down.
Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her wipe her tears, and said softly: "I know, I just went to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has convened a meeting of the officials of the invigilation team, and finally decided to hold another exam for Ting'er in Haoyue Palace at the hour after tomorrow......."
Before Jiang Chuanxiong could finish speaking, Old Madam Tao's face turned white, and she frowned, "What?
"Hmm. Jiang Chuanxiong nodded at Mrs. Tao, stretched out his hand to help her and said, "In order to convince everyone, this is also a helpless way." ”
"Let Ting'er take such a brain-consuming exam again in a short time, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. Old Madam Tao said worriedly.
Jiang Yuetang's injury is just right, but don't fall ill again all of a sudden.
Jiang Chuanxiong said: "Ting'er's personality is like mine, she is stronger than usual at a critical moment, and we should have confidence in her." ”
But now is the time she needs to rest. Zhen Huiyuan endured this, but she didn't say it after all.
She also realized that Jiang Yuetang had to do this this time.
"Master, has the imperial court sent someone to investigate? Could it be that someone is secretly doing evil?" Zhen Huiyuan looked up at him and asked softly.
"Your Majesty has sent someone to investigate, and the person who created the rumor has not yet been found, so there is no way to arrest someone, so I have to continue to search. Jiang Chuanxiong replied.
"Alas," said Mrs. Tao with a sigh, "I'm afraid it's the work of someone who can't see the good things of our family." ”
"But not?" Zhen Huiyuan also sighed.
Jiang Chuanxiong comforted them for a while with kind words, and after seeing that their emotions finally calmed down, he went to Jiang Yuetang's room to find Jiang Yuetang.
Jiang Yuetang fell asleep.
Since her head injury, she has had to rest several times a day, each time for nearly half an hour, to regain her previous energy.
She was lying down reading a book, so she still had a book in her hand at this time.
Jiang Chuanxiong couldn't bear to wake her up, so he said to Mei Xiang: "When the young master wakes up, you let him come to my room to find me." ”
Mei Xiang hurriedly said "yes".
Jiang Yuetang heard the movement, immediately woke up, and asked Jiang Chuanxiong if there was anything important.
Jiang Chuanxiong sat down on the edge of her bed and said, "This morning, someone spread rumors in the market, saying that you were able to pass the assessment this time because I had made an accommodation with Your Majesty and the examiner Liu Yuming in private. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Yuetang's eyes were round.
