This inside story is uncertain, and there is no real thing, and the exact evidence is caught, but when the criminal department dispensably went to the Gongyuan to check the quilts that had not yet had time to be disposed of, it was found that some quilts really had traces of being removed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere are also a few quilts in which there are really some relevant exam questions that have not been removed.

At this moment, not only did the matter get bigger, but even the fifth elder brother was involved, and the kindness of the Geges was used like this, and the emperor was also very angry, and the more thoroughly investigated, the more people were involved, and in the end, the confessions were full of confessions, and he didn't even know which one was true and which was false.

In the end, the emperor had to order that the Confucian family branch be deposed first. This matter is relatively simple, because the test paper has not been damaged, so the following conclusions are drawn under the joint marking of several marking officers: First of all, Kong Xiuxian's paper is indeed quite neat, but the font does not look like it was written by someone who has been studying hard for many years, according to Kong Xiuxian's own confession, a few days before the exam, he was inexplicably involved in a dispute, and was injured in the arm, and the arm pain has not healed, so the handwriting is not as good as usual, and the beginning and turn of some words are not very strong.

Although it is no longer clear whether the dispute was intentional or unintentional, this word does not have to be dethroned in the eyes of the examiners. Looking at the article again, the point of view is clear, the text is concise, and it is hard to read for many years, and it is quite substantial, and in terms of content, it can be regarded as first-class. On the whole, although he didn't get a good ranking, Kong Xiuxian's article can indeed be regarded as passing. And Xia Liansheng's test paper was turned out, and several ministers also affirmed his views and handwriting, indicating that compared with Kong Xiuxian's article, this article may not have much understanding of the great writers of the sages, but the point of view is clear, and it can also be regarded as an article under A or B, which can be regarded as clearing Xia Liansheng's charge of buying officials. In fact, the emperor does not doubt this, if Xia Liansheng wants to be an official, can he buy it? Just let him arrange one before.

After obtaining the common opinion of several ministers who read the file, the emperor ordered the Criminal Department to interrogate Shi Ziqing more, and it was necessary to get the truth about his dethronement of Kong Xiuxian. What is the truth? If Shi Ziqing told the truth that he actually just wanted to depose Xia Liansheng, the emperor would never believe it, but there was no other explanation, so Shi Ziqing was abused to death in the Criminal Department.

There is an anonymous letter in Shi Ziqing's study, which is precisely slandering Xia Liansheng for how unlearned and unskilled, but he is ashamed to tell the emperor that he wants to be an official in the Ministry of Industry. This letter was written seven points true and three points false, and the emperor was silent when he read the letter, perhaps, the most unlikely reason was that he mistakenly regarded Kong Xiuxian as the real reason for Xia Lian's rise and fall. That's it, it's even more difficult to explain, not to mention that there is a fire roll paper in the follow-up, and there are entrainments in the quilt, which is simply a mess of paste.

Regarding this matter, the court also quarreled into a mess, the emperor was upset every day, and the cabinet couldn't come up with a good idea, involving the prince and the princess, it was really impossible to offend anyone.

At this moment, a letter from Jiangnan quickly suppressed the matter, and the emperor made it clear that the results of the examination would not be counted, and the questions would be re-examined a month later, and the officials involved led by Shi Ziqing were beheaded according to the charges involved, or exiled from their homes, and some were directly locked in prison and did not see the light of day, and this vigorous incident that had been raging for more than a month came to an end in a hurry.

What came from Jiangnan was not so much a letter as a plea. This excerpt was written by Wei Dongting, the emperor's companion since childhood, about the arrears of the treasury that the prince gave to the fourth elder brother last year. Last year, the emperor handed over this matter to the fourth elder brother, and he began to send a "reminder note" to each debtor: a clear text issued by the household department, writing who borrowed the money from the treasury and when, how many times it added up, and how many days to pay it off. If you have money in the family, you just think about how to hide it. And Wei Dongting's letter let everyone see the spring, will the emperor give Wei Dongting a free order? If so, on what grounds should we get the emperor to compromise?

Speaking of Wei Dongting's arrears, many people really know about this. When the emperor went to Jiangnan six times, three times he was driven by the Zhen family, and the other three times he lived in the palace arranged by Wei Dongting, where did the palace come from? It was built with money from the national treasury. For this reason, the Zhen family and Wei Dongting both borrowed silver from the treasury, Wei Dongting cried in the excerpt and said that he had been an official in Jiangnan for so long, but he had not saved enough money to return to the treasury, and he was very sorry, so he decided to write a letter to the emperor first, and asked the emperor for his guilt. Then he said that he was about to die soon, and he was afraid that the grace would not benefit future generations, and hoped that the emperor could promise him to demolish the palace or take it back to the royal family, and if the follow-up maintenance costs of the palace did not need to be paid, his children and grandchildren would have less pressure in their later lives, and they would continue to grit their teeth and work hard to repay their debts.

Wei Dongting owes silver, in fact, it is tacit, the emperor wants to have a palace in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was afraid that the ministers would write to the emperor to waste, so he asked Wei Dongting to borrow money in his personal name to build one, because he never thought of returning it, so when he was put in the position of fat, he also gave him the task of annual tax every year, just like Lin Ruhai, he can get a certain amount of filial piety, but he definitely can't save much money, if Lin Ruhai is not a five-generation liehou, I believe that the family is also a general small rich family. Wei Dongting also has a future because of being the emperor's companion, thinking that when the regent was there, being the emperor's companion almost meant that he had to bury the emperor, and it was the turn of Wei Dongting, the son of Wei Jia's clan of the Han Army Banner. Who would have thought that after the emperor came into power, Wei Jia's family would be brilliant for decades at once.

However, even if Wei Jia's family is brilliant, Wei Dongting has always adhered to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers as before, because the backstage is hard, there is no need to stammer others, and his temperament has been straightforward for decades, so the family is only a little rich. If he is asked to pay off the emperor's debts, the emperor's conscience is disturbed. However, some time ago, the matter of recovering the borrowed silver had just been decreed, and the prince personally took it over, at this time, if Wei Dongting's arrears were waived, would other people also come up to cry? The answer is yes, everyone is waiting to see the emperor's attitude, and even the fourth elder brother's heart has been raised, for fear that the emperor will regret it.
