"In the end, it is a fledgling offspring, and a good exam can cause a scandal of cheating, which is a shame for the face of the country!"

"It's funny, and Dr. Zhang can be blamed for student cheating? Every year in the field exam, which time will not catch a few or even a dozen entrainments or even cheating? Guozi proclamated the exam, and he didn't search his body for entrainment, who knows what will happen! Besides, the one who is suspected of cheating, I remember that it is from the Zhang family of the Duke of Chu that you admire, Lord Shoufu! ”

"That's the son of the Xiangyang Bo family, what does it have to do with the Duke of Chu! Besides, do you know that someone didn't frame him? ”

"Someone framed the prisoner for cheating, but the teacher is to blame for this kind of thing? I would like to know, when you were the head of the local government in the past, did you try cases so upside down black and white, and there was no distinction between right and wrong? ”

The morning sun has sprinkled the huge square in front of the Fengtian Palace, and it is another morning of the palace. The various chatters that had just been waiting for the court were no longer there, and there was no longer much noise except for the sound of breathing and footsteps. However, the controversy in the court just now, those who witnessed it in person or heard it outside knew in their hearts that it might be in front of the emperor for a while.

As for the little thing that Guozijian Banshan Hall branch test, the first assistant and the second assistant can actually quarrel like this, not to use the question to play, who believes it?

It's a pity that Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing has been in the court for two or three days since he came back, and then he has been dedicated to his home to recuperate, otherwise it would not have been just Jiang Ge Lao and Confucius University Scholar who had been fighting each other-for-tat, believe it or not, that Zhao Guogong, who had killed a lot of people before, could swing his fists at each other! The only strange thing is that Zhang Qiong, who has always been short-tempered, listened outside, and did not get angry because he was involved.

In the first half of the early dynasty, it was always flat and straightforward, lackluster, and most people only needed to be a background board to watch others jump up and down through one topic after another. Even the emperor on the throne couldn't help but take a light breath and swallow back the yawn that came to his lips. Although the officials of this dynasty did not kick their noses and faces like the Song Dynasty, the loss of honor was still a two-way street.

The loss of honor of officials is not a small crime, and as for the misconduct of the Son of Heaven...... If you spread it, you will also be ridiculed.

However, not losing the honor does not mean not being distracted, just when the emperor thought to himself for the umpteenth time, why didn't Emperor Taizu abolish the early dynasty and change it to a step-by-step meeting, reducing the number of people and time, he suddenly heard a sharp voice: "Dr. Guozi Zhang Shou has been praised by the emperor many times, and this time he tried his best to give Banshan Hall a branch test, but the result was a miasma!" ”

The emperor came back to his senses almost instantly, and when he saw that it was Zuodu Yushi, who was known as a cannon in the Imperial Procuratorate, who was speaking, and had the same surname as Zhu Jing, and Zhu Heng, who had attacked Zhu Jing's core before, he knew it in his heart, and he didn't speak at the moment, but his right index finger gently rubbed the armrest, but his eyes glanced at Jiang Ge Lao.

Although the first assistant, who has been standing in the cabinet for fifteen years, has a straight face, he can still conclude in his heart that Zhu Heng, who can be called Duxian, is just a pawn.

"It's just that Huangkou Xiaoer shouted and cheated, and Zhu Duxian took it to the court meeting to say, do you think everyone is too idle?" Chen Shang, the head of the household, sneered, and then said casually, "I don't pay attention to how many major things in the world need to be managed, and I pretend that the things that frame the heroes have never happened, but instead stare at a national eunuch, Zhu Duxian is really giving up his roots." ”

Chen Shang, the head of the household, has been protecting Zhang Shou, a little junior brother, since Ding Weiqi returned to the dynasty, and this situation is now an open secret, so he was the first to stand up and bombard Zhu Heng, no one thought it was strange.

And Zhu Heng himself was naturally not surprised, he just didn't hear the four words of framing the hero, and said with a smile: "Chen Shangshu, you are bent on caring about the friendship of your classmates, which is of course your selfishness, but have you forgotten justice?" The emperor once came to the national eunuch in person and asked for the rectification of the style of study, and now this so-called cheating storm is all over the city, is this thing not big enough? ”

Without waiting for Chen Shang to answer, he said loudly: "However, when the minister heard about this before, he felt that something was wrong. Everyone knows that Zhao Guogong and Chu Guogong have always had old grudges, and Dr. Zhang Shounai of Guozi is Zhao Guogong's son-in-law, but when he presided over the Banshan Hall branch test, he caught Chu Guogong's nephew, that is, the son of Xiangyang Bo, cheating, but did he know that he was not using his power to frame him? ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Qiong, the expressionless Xiangyang Bo in the military attache queue, and asked with a smile: "Xiangyang Bo, are you willing to let your son carry the black cauldron of cheating?" ”

Damn, I really stepped on Lao Tzu's head!

Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong thought of what Zhang Shou said when he came to find him that night, and thought of the letter sent to him by the elusive servant of the other party later, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and he immediately scolded stiffly: "Let go of your mother's shit!" ”

These six words suddenly silenced the hall that was still full of whispers just now. Everyone was suppressed, this is the Fengtian Temple of the early dynasty, not a street, not a wine shop, this Xiangyang Bo dares to export dirty? On this occasion, when the slightest loss of honor will be jointly registered by the Honglu Temple and the Superintendent Imperial History, this is simply an extraordinary warrior!

And Zhang Qiong, who had already blown up his lungs, didn't care about how others thought of him, he took a step out, pointed at Zhu Heng's nose and scolded: "Sow discord, it's up to me to play with right and wrong, are you a three-year-old child?" ”

Zhang Qiong's reaction surprised many people, and his thunderous posture also made many people sweat. However, this Xiangyang Bo seemed to have completely forgotten the word "loss of etiquette" and rushed directly in front of Zhu Heng.

"The guy who yelled at cheating is your grandson Zhu Youning's follower, the fourth child of Mrs. Wu's family, he usually has the lowest grades in the Mid-Levels Hall, so he broke the jar and shouted to confuse the public, do you think I don't know? Your grandson Zhu Youning himself didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he fell out of the Guangye Hall, and he hated the dragons and snakes in the Banshan Hall all day long...... I'm sorry, he has the ability to go to the hall of recklessness! ”

I didn't expect that Zhang Qiong, the uncle of Xiangyang, who has always dozed off in the court, would have such a time to expose other people's black materials, which is a good show to watch!

The originally sleepy emperor came to his senses, and many other courtiers who had nothing to do with themselves were also excited. However, the most excited person was not others, it was Zhu Heng, who originally thought that he would be caught, but he stabbed the hornet's nest.

He was almost trembling with anger, glaring at Zhang Qiong angrily and shouting: "Uncle Xiangyang, you are simply unreasonable, I don't know what to do!" Do you think that by covering up your rebel son like this, you can reverse black and white? ”

"Hehe, I'm shielding him? When I heard the news, I pressed people on the spring bench and beat them up, if Zhang Shou hadn't come to the door, maybe I would have killed that kid directly! Zhang Qiong did not shy away from his simplicity and rudeness, clasped his hands and said contemptuously, "My eldest brother has always been at odds with Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, but our Zhang family has always had clear grievances, Zhu Jing is Zhu Jing, and Zhang Shou is Zhang Shou!" ”

When he said this, his expression was arrogant, but with a sense of course: "Although Zhang Shou is young, this kid is fair and sincere, I don't have a daughter, if I have a daughter, maybe I will rob Zhu Jing of my son-in-law!" ”

When he heard a loud cough, he turned his head sideways and saw that it was Chen Shang with a disapproving face, and then he realized that he had digressed from the topic, and immediately put away this posture like a street bully, and the etiquette was very standard to the emperor deeply.

"Your Majesty, as soon as the so-called cheating rumors came out, the minister brought the rebel to him for a lesson, but he was woken up by Zhang Shou's visit to the door and don't let the child carry the black pot in vain, and then he found out what he said before. Every word of the minister's words is true, and this can be verified. The minister also heard that Zhang Shou invited Xu Heizi from the Guozi Prison Rope Hall to help read the file. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qiong paused, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth that were not well maintained.

"Just like Chen Shangshu said before, this little matter, the emperor wants to ask, just go back and summon relevant people to question, how many things do you have to discuss in the early days of the Fengtian Palace, why waste so many people's time? Zhu Duxian only needs to spew blood all day long, and he has nothing to do, and the rest of the major yamen are very busy! ”

This Xiangyang Uncle is really too bad...... No wonder he used to be like a stone Buddha at the court meeting, and he dared to love because he was angry and didn't lose his life when he spoke!

Fortunately, Zhu Heng's psychological quality in the history of the emperor for many years is not like that of ordinary people, although he was choked half to death by Zhang Qiong's repeated words, and his face turned red, he was still tenacious and stood tall. However, the composure he had forcibly maintained was reduced to nothing when a voice sounded outside.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Zhang Shou of the Kingdom made a statement, and said that in this Banshan Hall branch test, there were two scrolls with the same name but completely different handwriting. The names on the two scrolls are all written with Zhu Youning. ”

Without waiting for most of the people in this Fengtian Hall to think of Zhu Heng from Zhu Youning, and without waiting for a small number of sober people to figure out how such a small thing could be passed on in the court, Zhang Qiong, the uncle of Xiangyang who had just been angry with Zhu Heng, spoke again.

"Dare to ask Zhu Duxian, Ling Sun made two scrolls alone, should you explain it well?"

Zhu Heng's face was originally the color of pig liver, and at this time, it was so red that it could almost drip blood. Just when he was about to get angry, his liver hurt, his stomach hurt, and he hurt everything, someone finally stood up and took over Zhang Qiong's more and more excessive words.

"Uncle Xiangyang, who is also a courtier, please be a little more restrained. Since there is no evidence, you should not accuse Zhu Duxian for no reason. ”

However, as soon as these seemingly righteous and righteous words were finished, the person who stood up to play the round said lightly: "It is not appropriate to discuss this matter again at the court meeting. Why don't the emperor summon Zhang Shou and others after the court meeting, and ask them clearly, so as not to gossip outside, Zhu Duxian and Xiangyang Bo will be involved at that time, not to mention, they will be speculated by the outside world about what is behind the scenes, and unrelated people will not go. ”

Staring at the Confucian scholar who looked like a peacemaker at this time, Zhu Heng almost wanted to swallow his life, and sure enough, as soon as the Confucian scholar said this, he saw that Jiang Ge's old brows were twisted into a knot, but in the end he still didn't say anything, which was very different from the strength when he was-for-tat with Confucius in the court room before. At this moment, he couldn't help but have a very bad feeling.

And the emperor, who had seen enough of watching the play, readily agreed: "Okay, since Zhu Qing said that this matter is full of ups and downs in the city, and Zhang Qing insists that his son was plotted against him, then I will personally come to the Guozijian to adjudicate." Just before Lu Qingjian resigned from the Ministry of War, I had just allocated money from the inner treasury to expand the Guozijian, but some prisoners shouted that the imperial court did not treat scholars favorably, and I should also go to the Guozijian to have a look. ”

As soon as these words came out, I don't know how many people looked at the vacant position.

That's right, to this day, the position of the secretary of the military department, the big Sima, is still empty......

As for Zhao Ying, the squire of the military department, who once thought that he would be able to move the mountains above his head, he would be able to go further, and this political envoy who had just moved left to Guizhou. As for the situation that Shangshu and Zuo Shilang are vacant at the same time, although the courtiers also have their own recommendations, there has been no result so far, and the affairs of the entire military department are temporarily managed by the best gentleman in the cabinet, Wu Gelao.

So, when the morning court ended this day, Zhu Heng, who was embarrassed, went straight back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in a rage, and most of the other officials took a detour when they saw Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong - even if he turned back, he would definitely be impeached and the court would lose his manners, but the guy who could scold the dirty words of "let go of your mother's bullshit" in the morning court, most of the people thought about how far away to hide.

Zhang Qiong didn't care that she was isolated, and swaggered back home when she left the palace. When he got home, he was thinking about whether to send a letter to Zhang Yuan, but he waited for the master of ceremonies to come with Lu Chan to deliver the message in person - the emperor was going to Guozijian and asked him to go with him.

"So fast!" Even though he knew that the emperor was acting vigorously and resolutely, in fact, it was more accurate to say that it was a whim, Zhang Qiong was still a little caught off guard. In such a little time, clean the street and arm the defense...... It's too late for all sorts of things, right?

However, the matter was caused by him, and he couldn't pour cold water on him, so he hurried out before he even had time to change his official clothes. When he threw off his entourage, he trotted to the archway of Guozijian University, only to see that Zhu Heng, the imperial history of the left capital, also arrived at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, and they really hated each other, and each other let out an angry snort from their noses.

And just when Zhang Qiong was about to jump off the horse, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. When he turned his head, he saw a scene that made his jaw drop.

I saw that the supreme son of the Great Tomorrow only took a dozen accompanying guards, and rode a horse leisurely and trotted over, as if an ordinary noble son was taking people shopping.

At that moment, Zhang Qiong couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva lightly, and for the first time felt that it didn't seem so appropriate for the emperor to come to the Guozijian in person. Didn't this Son of Heaven experience the previous rebellion of the Karma King? Why is it still so messy?

Not only Zhang Qiong, but even Zhang Shou, who arrived after hearing the news, first thought that this son of heaven really did what he wanted.

However, before the emperor got off the horse, he waved his horsewhip lightly, gave an order, and then said lightly: "Since I personally made the question for the branch examination of the Guozijian this time, I will also come here today to make a judgment in person." After the decision, let the Guozi sacrifice wine Zhou Qing gather people, and I will say a few words to all the prisoners in Minglun Hall! ”
