And Chu Nanxuan really gradually strengthened her belief under her few words of comfort.

The next day, above the court, everything was originally in accordance with the usual step-by-step order, and the six departments of the three provinces each reported their work positions, but Chu Nanxuan suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to participate in one thing." Chu Nanxuan said.

Now in the court, Shanghai Qingheyan, the emperor was surprised: "Who does Lord Chu want to participate in?" ”

Chu Nanxuan knelt on the ground and said in a straight voice: "Weichen wants to join the military department today Shangshu Meng Yuan, who cheated on the matter of martial arts and helped Liu Yiyang, the son of the criminal minister, to obtain the position of the eye of the martial arts list, and later won the position of the military department. ”

These words were loud and clear, and they seemed extremely clear above the spacious palace.

And all the ministers in the palace, except for Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo. The rest were taken aback. And Meng Yuan and Liu Yiyang, who were the parties involved, were also looking at Chu Nanxuan in panic.

Chu Nanyue deliberately glanced at Chu Hou Ye's place, and saw that Chu Hou Ye had also been looking at Chu Nanxuan, so it can be seen that Chu Nanxuan had not even leaked his own family about this matter.

"What?" The Emperor exclaimed, "This is simply ridiculous! ”

At the beginning, all the arrangements for the martial arts examination were handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War was handed over to Meng Yuan. Meng Yuan had a large number of secrets in his hands, and the emperor was somewhat concerned with Meng Yuan, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

When Meng Yuan had an accident, several ministers who were good friends with Meng Yuan on weekdays also knelt on the ground and pleaded with Meng Yuan: "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this, please ask the emperor to be clear." ”

Chu Nanyue knew that he also had to do something here, so he also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Meng is conscientious in his office, and this matter must be investigated." ”

So the emperor made a gloomy face and said to Chu Nanxuan: "Lord Chu, if you say something about this today, do you have any evidence in your hand?" ”

Chu Nanxuan didn't stay in the court for too long, and he had never seen the emperor look like this, and his tone trembled, but he had to send it.

So Chu Nanxuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen sent someone to get the letters between him and Lord Meng from Lord Liu's mansion, and the emperor will know it at a glance. ”

As he spoke, Chu Nanxuan presented the letters.

After the personal eunuch took it, he forwarded it to the emperor, and the emperor carefully looked at the contents of the letter, which was calm before, but once his face changed.

"Meng Yuan! How can you explain what this letter says?! The Emperor said angrily.

Meng Yuan trembled and knelt down, still excusing himself: "Your Majesty, Weichen has never written a letter to Lord Liu, and the matter of favoritism and fraud is also false, it was Chu Nanxuan who framed him!" ”

"Your Majesty! Weichen knew that Master Meng was my boss, and once he reported it to the emperor, Lord Meng would definitely not be able to let me go. But Weichen is still willing to report Lord Meng and Lord Liu, just because of Weichen's heart, heaven and earth can be learned, and he is only loyal to His Majesty. Even Lord Meng is playing favoritism and committing fraud, knowing the law and breaking the law. Wechen is also willing to tell the truth. Chu Nanxuan kowtowed.

When everyone heard Chu Nanxuan's words, they could be called loyal and dutiful, and the emperor also eased his face and said to Chu Nanxuan first: "The Chu family has been so loyal and martyred for generations, you have the style of your grandfather." ”

As soon as Chu Nanxuan was praised, the smug look on his face was not hidden, and the Marquis of Chu not far away also looked at him very happily.

"Meng Yuan! Are you blind?! In turn, the emperor looked at Meng Yuan coldly, "I have long felt that you and Liu Yiyang have a wrong relationship. I had guessed that you were sympathetic to the new scientists. But after reading these letters today, I remembered that he was really the son of your old friend. ”

Hearing that the emperor had already noticed, Meng Yuan was completely panicked and said, "Your Majesty! Wechen was confused for a while. I hope Your Majesty will be gracious! ”

Chu Nanyue knew very well that although the emperor was a benevolent and virtuous king, such a thing happened in the first year of the martial arts examination, and if he didn't punish Meng Yuan fiercely, he was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public.

The emperor was silent for only a moment, and then said sincerely: "Meng Yuan and Liu Yiyang were involved in the case of fraud in the imperial examination, and they were both dismissed first. Come on, put Meng Yuan and Liu Yiyang in prison! Wait to find out the facts, and then make a decision. ”

Liu Yiyang knelt in the corner, never daring to confide even half a word, and only when he was pulled out did he start pleading loudly.

The voices of the two begging for mercy made the ministers of the palace all frightened, and the emperor's anger did not abate, and Chu Nanxuan did not dare to stand up from the ground.

Chu Nanyue stood up at the right time and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to verify." In fact, there is already physical evidence, and Lord Chu has made meritorious reports, so it is better to commend Lord Chu for his loyalty first. ”

Although it is to commend Chu Nanxuan's loyalty, it is also the heart of An Qunchen.

Among the six departments, such a thing happened to the military department, and the people present were not shocked.

And the emperor seemed to listen to Chu Nanyue's words, so he first rewarded Chu Nanxuan in public, and promoted him to his official position, making him a squire in the military department.

As for other matters, naturally the Criminal Department will inquire about it. Under those tortures, they are not afraid that Meng Yuan and Liu Yiyang will not confess.

After the early dynasty, Chu Nanxuan walked to Chu Nanyue's side with a happy face, and said, "Thank you General Chu today, if it weren't for General Chu, Xia Guan would not have been promoted so quickly." ”

He has been under Zhao Jingyu for a long time, and the relationship between the two families is not as good as before, so there is a lot of contention.

Chu Nanyue kept her distance and said, "Lord Chu said carefully, it was Lord Chu's people who found out these clues, so you don't have to thank me." ”

"Since General Chu has no intention of doing this, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Chu Nanxuan had no choice but to say.

Although Chu Nanxuan wondered why Chu Nanyue didn't take the credit, it was inconvenient to ask deeply. What's more, he was actually afraid that Chu Nanyue would regret it and snatch the credit again.

"General Chu." Not far away, Tanglin Shuo also walked over, pretending to walk between the two of them unintentionally, as if he had a hint at Chu Nanxuan.

How dare Chu Nanxuan get in the way of Donglin Shuo's side, so he hurriedly left, leaving Chu Nanyue here alone.

As soon as Chu Nanxuan left, Dongling Shuo said solemnly: "General Chu, where is the Criminal Department, do you need to say hello?" ”

"What?" Chu Nanyue was puzzled.

Tanglin Shuo knew that although she knew about the war, she knew very little about the torture of officials, so she said: "These officials, they seem to be strong on weekdays, but few of them can withstand it." It depends on whether General Chu wants to spare his life, or if he gives one more order......"

Chu Nanyue looked at Donglin Shuo and said tentatively: "Sixth Highness, do you mean that Your Majesty may want to keep him?" ”

Tanglin Shuo smiled helplessly, and said: "Tanglin lacks talents, although Meng Yuan has been inappropriate in this matter and should be severely punished, my father should also have someone available." Otherwise, it is very likely that there will be a small punishment and a big commandment. ”

If it weren't for the lack of talents, Tanglin would not have had this hurried martial arts examination in the first year.

Chu Nanyue couldn't help but nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "If Your Majesty gets a better talent to replace him, will Meng Yuan still be retained?" ”
