Those students have not heard of Yang Yan's name, and they all know what kind of family the Yang family is, they are all worried that Yang Yan will be unfavorable to them, but they didn't expect Yang Yan to be very polite, and let them invite them down, and entertain them with delicious food and drink.

The subordinates were puzzled and asked Yang Yan why he left these people in the mansion, and Yang Yan said that he was useful.

Seeing that the time for the exam was approaching, those students from all over the country in Dayan who came to the capital to take the exam had already stayed in various inns in the capital.

The students Gu Moxi found lived in Lin Yi's mansion, and under their strong persuasion, there were also many students who participated in the examination who were willing to help them.

Lu Cancan told Lin Yi that he must be improvised, after all, this matter seems to be a little too smooth, but it makes people feel a little panicked.

"Don't worry, this time I will definitely make Yang Yan pay the price he deserves."

Lin Yi rode a horse to meet Gu Moxi, but when he arrived at the place, he only saw the Gu family's housekeeper.

"I'm really sorry, my young master suddenly felt unwell, I'm afraid I won't be able to come today."

Gu Moxi has always been in poor health, but Lin Yi didn't feel any surprises, since this is the case, today he will take those students into the palace to face the saint.

He came to the gate of the palace, and as soon as he dismounted, he saw a forbidden army running towards the palace gate.

"General Lin, you are here, hurry up, the emperor wants to see you now."

Could it be that the emperor already knew about Yang Yan's fraud?

Lin Yi thought that this would save him a lot of things, so he hurriedly followed the forbidden army to see the emperor, but he didn't expect that in addition to the emperor, Yang Yan was also there.

He was stunned for a moment, Yang Yan didn't preside over the exam, what are you doing here?

There was anger on the emperor's face, and when he saw Lin Yi, he threw the fold in his hand to the ground.

"See for yourself if everything written on it is true."

Lin Yi had never seen the emperor be so angry with him, he picked it up and looked at it, and felt that things were not going well.

This recital was written by Yang Yan, which said that Lin Yi deliberately obstructed the smooth progress of the imperial examination because of his personal grudge with the Yang family, and also tried every means to frame himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't."

Lin Yi didn't know how Yang Yan knew about their plan, but all he had to say today was the truth.

He knelt on the ground and explained: "Yang Yan cheated for personal gain, secretly accepting money from people, so that talented people could not gain fame, these are all true, please let the emperor know." ”

Yang Yan looked aggrieved: "Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged, since the minister took over the imperial examination, he has been trembling, and he didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't expect General Lin to slander the minister so much, if someone didn't stand it and told the minister, I'm afraid the minister would really be unspeakable." ”

He kowtowed heavily to the emperor, saying that he had evidence, and if the emperor didn't believe it, he could let those witnesses come and ask questions.

The emperor agreed, and asked people to pass on the witnesses Yang Yan said.

Lin Yi thought about who the witnesses Yang Yan said were, but he didn't think that when those people came to the palace, Lin Yi found that they were the students who had been kicked out of the house by himself before.

They knelt in front of the emperor with a panicked face, and they didn't dare to take a breath, Yang Yan said that he met these students on the street by chance, and only then did he know that Lin Yi wanted to deal with him, if the emperor didn't believe it, he could ask them.

"I ask you, are you the students who participated in this imperial examination?"

"Exactly."

The emperor glanced at them and asked them if what Yang Yan had just said was true.

"The villain doesn't dare to say anything, we all read the books of sages, and we don't dare to speak, what Lord Yang said is indeed true."

They said that they were found by Lin Yi, and they were raised in the Lin Mansion with good food and drink, Lin Yi said that if they could testify against Yang Yan, they could get fame and fortune, although they came to the capital, but they did not dare to go with Lin Yi, and they were driven out by Lin Yi.

"If it weren't for Lord Yang taking us in regardless of his previous suspicions, we would really be wandering the streets right now."

I was embarrassed to say that I was reading the books of sages, and if Master Confucius knew, I was afraid that he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin and scold them for hypocrisy.

is obviously a student who reads, but the ability to reverse black and white is beyond people's reach.

The emperor asked Lin Yi if he could have this matter.

"The minister did invite some students to live in the minister's mansion temporarily, but the minister definitely did not let them slander Lord Yang."

What kind of character Lin Yi is, the emperor should know, but now Yang Yan has a witness, which is very unfavorable to Lin Yi.

The emperor originally wanted to suppress this matter first, and wait until the imperial examination was over, and then whether it was true or fake, there would always be a way to turn a big thing into a small thing.

Just when the emperor wanted to say that the matter still needed to be investigated in detail, Yang Yan suddenly said: "Lord Lin also secretly contacted many students who participated in the examination, and encouraged them not to take the examination, resulting in the examination not being able to be carried out on time. ”

Yang Yan wanted the emperor to punish Lin Yi today, so he pressed step by step, and said a big truth, which meant that if the emperor did not give an explanation to the people of the world, it would make everyone think that the emperor was open because of Lin Yi's status as a relative of Emperor Lin Yi.

Now, even if the emperor really wants to help Lin Yi, he can't do it.

Lin Yi didn't want to embarrass the emperor, he knew that he had fallen into Yang Yan's trap this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not admit guilt, but is willing to admit punishment."

He kowtowed to the emperor, since Yang Yan said that he was slandering, it must be that he was not afraid of shadows, so it was better to let the imperial history of the court and Gu Moxi strictly investigate the inside story of this imperial examination together, as for Yang Yan said that he was falsely accused, he was willing to bear the consequences.

Yang Yangang wanted to say that he definitely did not live up to the emperor's grace, but who knew that the emperor said first: "That's okay, since Yang Qing's family said that he was wronged, if he didn't investigate ominously, people in the world would be suspicious." ”

If Yang Yan obstructs the emperor's decree now, it means that there is a ghost in his heart.

He could only bite the bullet and say that the emperor was wise, and since the emperor wanted to investigate, he would definitely fully cooperate.

As for Lin Yi, the emperor said that he would be punished by beating fifty boards, depriving him of his position as commander of the forbidden army, and demoting him to an ordinary forbidden army.

Yang Yan felt that this punishment was too light, but the emperor said that this was just a lesson for Lin Yi, if it was found out in the end, it was indeed the Yang family who were wronged, and they were punished together.

"Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty."

Yang Yan knelt down and shouted three long live, but he thought in his heart that since the emperor asked Gu Moxi to investigate, he was afraid that the things he did would be revealed somewhat.
