After Li Dongyang took over the position of the chief examiner of Chunqiu, he immediately began to reorganize Cheng Minzheng's transcription of the examination papers, and the examiners began to copy them overnight.

"Colleagues, Your Majesty and the scholars outside are waiting for the results, they can only work harder, if any of you are tired, you can go to the side hall to rest for a while, it is necessary to release the list on time, and it must not be postponed."

Li Dongyang was born as a scholar in the cabinet, a capable general around the emperor, and he is also quite accomplished in calligraphy.

After Li Dongyang's words came out, several examiners, including the scribes, followed suit.

When Li Dongyang was in charge of reading the papers in the Gongyuan, Cheng Minzheng, Tang Yin and Xu Jing were invited to Jinyiwei Prison.

Although there are few unjust, false and wrongful cases in Mu Bin's hands, and there are few casual arrests under his rule, it is also a notorious edict after all.

As soon as you walk in, you feel eerie.

The dim lights, the musty stench, the mottled walls...

No matter which element it is, it makes the people who walk in a little afraid in the bottom of their hearts.

With the sound of the iron rope opening, Mu Bin was taken to a torture room, and before they could take a look at the various terrifying torture instruments here, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Soon, Mu Bin appeared in front of them with a few people.

"Cheng Shilang, Tang Jieyuan, Xu Juren..."After Mu Bin called the names of several people with an expressionless face, he continued: "You are all people who are reading, and this commander does not want to see the torture instrument fall on several people and hurt the faces of several people, so you have something to say in advance." ”

Then he waved his hand and commanded a person behind him, saying, "Record." ”

"Who's going to speak first?" Mu Bin asked: "This commander respects the three who are scholars, as long as you are strict about the time of your meeting, what is the purpose of meeting?" If there is any leakage of the exam questions, the commander will find out the rest. ”

Mu Bin's handling is really gentle, if it is left on the other commanders, the first thing you have to do is to greet them with the torture instruments in this torture room.

When the time comes, not only will you truthfully admit your crimes, but you will have to admit those who don't belong to you.

Tang Yin was the first to stand up and said, "I'm going to see the chief examiner of the process." ”

Soon, Mu Bin asked, "When?" ”

Tang Yin thought for a moment and replied: "The next day after going down to the Jingshi, it should be on the twenty-eighth day of the first month. ”

Mu Bin nodded in response: "Go on." ”

Tang Yin then replied: "I went down to find Master Cheng to take the exam, so as to ask for an essay for the master and Master Cheng at the time of the township examination. ”

Mu Bin asked, "Is there any courtesy?" ”

Tang Yin replied truthfully: "I didn't bring the ceremony, when I asked for the text, I gave Cheng Zhu exam a gold coin, but Cheng didn't take the exam, but promised that he would write an essay after the Spring Festival." ”

After Tang Yin answered, Mu Bin turned to ask Cheng Minzheng and said, "Is what Tang Jieyuan said true?" ”

Cheng Minzheng nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's completely true." ”

Then, Mu Bin turned to ask Xu Jing and asked, "Xu Juren, you can also talk about it, this matter started by you, when did you go to see Master Cheng?" ”

Xu Jing replied: "In the next is also the twenty-eighth day of the first month to see Cheng Zhukao, one step ahead of Tang Jieyuan, to see Cheng Zhukao, completely saved the mind of the meeting, and has no other meaning, also brought some gifts, are some pastries bought in Beijing, not worth any silver, Cheng Zhu did not accept the exam, he insisted on staying." ”

Cheng Minzheng, as the chief examiner of this Spring Festival, met with the two lifters of this Spring Festival before the exam started.

This matter is not only true, but also inconsistent with the system.

Even if there is no problem, all three of them are at fault.

After recording the confessions of several people, Mu Bin didn't say much: "A few people have been wronged here for a few days, and this command envoy will investigate it in detail, and then report to Your Majesty to see how Your Majesty will deal with it." ”

Mu Bin did not detain the three people in solitary confinement, but directly sent them to a cell.

Before the jailer of Jinyiwei left, Xu Jing took the initiative to apologize and said, "Master Cheng, it was the students who caused you to be burdened." ”

Cheng Minzheng waved his hand and said, "It's also to blame the old man, I shouldn't have seen you two in the first place." ”

Jinyiwei's spies are all over the corners of Tiannan, Haibei, and it is not difficult to investigate what happened in this acre and three points of land in Jingshi.

However, it was only half an hour before a spy investigated this clearly.

In order to investigate any discrepancies, Mu Bin could only report the confessions from Tang Yin and Xu Jing to Emperor Hongzhi.

When he arrived at the Warm Pavilion, after handing over the two confessions to Emperor Hongzhi, he replied: "Your Majesty, Tang Yin and Xu Jing admit that the visit process is Minzheng, but there is no such thing as a question. ”

After carefully reading the confession, Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Cheng Minzheng is the main exam, don't you know to avoid your son?" After the list is released, he can meet as much as he wants, and he is so close to this person before the exam, isn't he waiting for the truth to be settled? Let's wait for a while, there is a result in the Gongyuan, let's talk about it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi had already decided, and Mu Bin replied: "Obey the order." ”

After waiting for about two or three days, the Gongyuan finally got the result.

After Li Dongyang and a group of examiners selected the top three, they took the transcription and the famous original paper to the warm pavilion.

As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, after saluting, he said with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, the reading of the papers has been completed, these are the top few, please Your Majesty will meet the Yuan." ”

Li Dongyang's excitement directly proves that the quality of this Spring Festival candidates is not bad.

Li Dongyang's excitement made Emperor Hongzhi's mood start to improve because of the matter of the problem.

"Really? Come, bring it, and I'll see! ”

Li Dongyang put the stack of exam papers in his hand on top of Emperor Hongzhi's imperial case and said, "Your Majesty, look at this." ”

Emperor Hongzhi picked up the transcribed exam paper and read it word by word.

Enriching the people and strengthening the country...

It took me several times to finally finish reading a strategy.

"That's right, it's just that this one should be the third of others, right? Who is this strategy from, it can't be Xie Zhi's kid, right? ”

Li Dongyang pulled a smile, smiled and handed the original volume to Emperor Hongzhi, and said: "After this article stood out under the recommendation of a group of examiners, the minister took the original volume. ”

Xie Zhi's handwriting is known to both Li Dongyang and Emperor Hongzhi.

After the original scroll was unveiled in front of Emperor Hongzhi, he asked in surprise, "Is it really Xie Zhi that kid?" ”

Li Dongyang took the other two copies and said: "Your Majesty, take a look at these two copies first, these three copies are the most prominent in this Spring Festival. ”

According to Li Dongyang's words, Emperor Hongzhi read the two articles and said: "Well, this is not bad, and the quotations are prominent." ”

After reading three articles, Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't help his curiosity and opened the exam paper with the theme of enriching the people and strengthening the country.

"It's really Xie Zhi that kid, just say, only he can write such an alternative strategy."

ps: Let me cry for a few minutes, and the explosion is really off...
