After Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others each proposed methods such as gathering crowds to make trouble and sit-ins at the noon gate were all vetoed by everyone, the dining room fell silent again.

Seeing this, Liu Ximing could only come forward to comfort everyone: "Now there is only one side, and it is not possible to confirm whether Xie Ge Lao and others will do this." ”

"I think so, since there is news in the Gongyuan, I think the brother should be familiar with it, can I ask him to keep an eye on the movements in the Gongyuan, if the examiners in each room really do not record the people in the Fushe as he said, then I will think of a way?"

"I'm afraid it'll be too late," Chen Zilong sighed.

This time to take the exam is not only related to his long-term career ambitions, but also a beautiful girl waiting to marry him, so his mood is more complicated.

Liu Ximing was also helpless in his heart, Xie Sheng's actions were not leaky, how could this kind of thing be able to bring him down.

Unless, handed over to the public for discussion, a bright light flashed in Liu Ximing's mind.

He turned his head to look at Huang Zonghui, "Brother Zewang, I remember that you claim to be unforgettable?" ”

Everyone in the room was still pondering countermeasures, but when they heard Liu Ximing ask such a question, everyone was stunned.

Huang Zonghui blinked and nodded, "That's right, the junior brother has no other talents, but his memory is extraordinary. ”

"Hahaha, that's good", Liu Ximing laughed and looked at Chen Zilong.

"Brother Zhongren, do you have a way to buy the people in the Gongyuan and let me and Brother Zewang get in?"

Chen Zilong looked surprised, and Liu Ximing hurriedly explained: "Not for anything else, just to take a look at the exam papers." ”

"The examination is usually filled in on February 26, and the original exam paper will be placed in the main hall after filling in, and it will not be sealed until the first list is filled out together."

"I'll sneak in at that time and record the test papers of those who are on the B list, but whose writing is obviously not as good as that of those who have failed to do so."

"At that time, the test papers of those who have failed to make the list will be copied together and posted everywhere near the Gongyuan, as long as the names are not written, it is only said that these people with average writing will be successful, but others will be on the list, which will inevitably cause public outrage."

"Then I will have an excuse when I wait until I arrive, complain to the court about the unfairness of the trial, and ask for it to be returned for rereading, and then Xie Sheng, the official of the Ministry of Heaven, will probably come to an end."

"Hahaha, Wujiang, your idea is too good."

Xia Yunyi slapped the table and laughed.

Chen Zilong thought about it carefully and laughed, "What a new Amber, it's really old and spicy to act like this." ”

However, his voice changed, "Just acting like this, will it anger the imperial court, and even depreciate us and others at that time?" ”

"Yes, this plan is quite risky, we have to guard against it", Huang Zongxi replied with some concern.

"Then let's do it", Liu Ximing thought about it carefully and felt that it was, Xie Shengnai was a secretary of the ministry, and it was difficult to guarantee that he couldn't use other means, he thought about it and said:

"Isn't Zhang Qiandu in the Hanlin Courtyard at this time, can you please ask him to find a way to play on His Majesty's behalf, just say that someone has submitted documents in the courtyard of his mansion at night, so he will report it to His Majesty."

"Miao Miao Miao", Xia Yunyi shouted happily.

"This is a matter of resuming the society, Brother Qiandu will not ignore it, I will wait until I go back to discuss with him."

"Hahaha, come on, come on, I'll give you a cup of boundlessness."

In the Xinanbo Mansion, the atmosphere in the dining room became warm again, and everyone looked at Liu Ximing with even more admiration.

A few days passed in a flash, and by the time of February 20, news came out in the Gongyuan, saying that the personnel of each room had been decided, and most of the people in the Restoration Society had fallen off the list.

There are only six to eighteenth places in the first list, and in addition to this, there is the leader of the Five Classics, and it is obvious that there will be no share of the people in the restored society.

Now, Chen Zilong and others no longer hesitated, contacted the people in the Gongyuan who had bought it in advance, and sent Liu Ximing and Huang Zongwang into the Gongyuan.

In addition to the 20 chief examiners and fellow examiners in the Gongyuan Academy, there are more than a dozen marking officers in each room.

In addition, there are more than 200 students and officials who assist in helping, as well as hundreds of people such as the army, miscellaneous servants and men who are responsible for the invigilation.

This is also the reason why fraud in the imperial examinations has actually emerged in an endless stream in the past dynasties.

Not to mention that Liu Ximing and the others only wanted to go to the Tribute Court to peek at the scrolls, which was already very low compared to others.

Early the next morning, Zhang Pu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, went to the palace to ask for a meeting, saying that there was something important to do.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Pu, who was dressed in a cyan official uniform, was full of spirit.

Zhang Pu, who was 35 years old at the time, had great political ambitions, and he had already seen through the weakness of the government, so he took the lead in establishing the Fushe Society in Jiangnan early to strengthen his momentum.

In order to deeply interfere in the government affairs, he wanted to recommend Zhou Yanru, who had a handle in his hands, to enter the cabinet many times, but the current first assistant Wen Ti Renquan was too profound, and Zhang Pu tried many times without success.

A few days ago, when Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong came to him to impeach Xie Sheng for power, Zhang Pu agreed.

If nothing else, one is that he urgently needs Xia Yunyi and others to enter the court as officials to continue to carry out his wings, and the other is that he also sees an opportunity through this matter.

An opportunity to weaken Wen Tiren's power.

In today's cabinet, under Wen Tiren's authority, several cabinet ministers are either with Wen Tiren or as turtles with shrunken heads.

Zhang Pu has long been dissatisfied with this, and if the examination papers brought by Chen Zilong this time can really bring Xie Sheng and others down, it will undoubtedly clear some obstacles for Zhou Yanru's recovery.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched the fold in his sleeve, and calmly followed the little eunuch who came to summon him into the Qianqing Palace.

Liu Ximing didn't know how Zhang Pu reported to Chongzhen, but on the morning of the 27th, Chen Zilong sent news that Chongzhen in the Qianqing Palace was furious and had ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the matter thoroughly.

On the second day, the Gongyuan even posted a message, claiming that because the examiner was ill, it would take two days to delay the release of the list.

However, the impeachment of Xie Sheng by Zhang Pu quickly spread in the court like a sieve.

On the 29th, there was even news that Xie Sheng had been suspended from Chongzhen's position as the chief examiner, and Kong Zhenyuan was only responsible for re-examining the papers.

All kinds of news spread in the sky above the capital, and it was not until the third day of the first month of March that the Gongyuan officially released the list.

"Second brother, you are in high school, third place."

Li Biao ran into the study with a flushed face, holding a piece of red paper in his hand and swaying constantly.

"Congratulations to Du Gongzi, the forty-third in high school."

"Congratulations to Gongzi Dou, the fifty-fourth in high school."

"Congratulations to Zhao Gongzi, the one hundred and twenty-fifth in high school."

"Congratulations to Mr. Lei, the twenty-ninth in high school."

"Congratulations to Gongzi Xie, the twenty-seventh in high school."

"Congratulations to Gongzi Xu, the 287th in high school."

With the continuous sound of good news, the new Amber Mansion suddenly boiled.

Liu Ximing, Du Liangji, Dou Yuquan, Zhao Xiangyang, Xie Wenle, Xu Wei and Lei Hong and other seven people actually hit the list one after another, Liu Ximing, Dou Yuquan and Du Liangji are still in front of the top three.

Although there is a palace test later, the palace test generally does not fail to be a tribute, which means that these people are already a sure jinshi.

"Hooray"

A burst of ecstatic shouts erupted in the Xin'anbo Mansion, and although Chen Yiding and others failed to make the list, they all expressed their sincere joy to Liu Ximing and others.

Everyone is very clear about each other's strength, and these seven people are naturally expected to be on the list.

What's more, seven of the seventeen members of the Datong Society are on the list, which is a great and amazing move no matter where they are placed.

Liu Ximing couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and shouted at Li Biao with a happy face, "Go and investigate, see how Brother Taichong is, by the way, who are the first and second places?" ”

"It's Liu Tongsheng, a scholar from Jiangxi, and Chen Zhixuan, a scholar from Zhejiang."

Liu Ximing didn't know these two people, so he didn't care too much.

didn't wait for a while, the people from the guard camp who inquired about the news had not returned, but Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and other twenty or so people came together, and their faces were full of excitement.

"Brother Wujiang, thanks to your good strategy, my brother, Renzhong, Yi Zhong and I are all on the list, and the good planner is beyond your influence."

Huang Zonghui shouted loudly when he entered the door, as if he was afraid that others would not know that they had been hit.

Liu Ximing hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Don't be quiet, you can know about this matter, otherwise you will get into trouble." ”

Huang Zonghui laughed indifferently and said: "Hahaha, I'm afraid you don't know yet, I heard that Your Majesty is angry at Xie Sheng for bending the law for personal gain, and he is already ready to issue an order to demote him, what if they know." ”

Liu Ximing shook his head and said: "I have said that you can't be careless, Xie Yijin has been a heavenly official for many years, and there are many protégés in the court, if they know that I am waiting in it, there will be a lot of things in the court in the future." ”

Chen Zilong pulled Huang Zonghui away and nodded in agreement: "Wujiang is right, it's always good to be careful." ”
