Zhu Youzhu looked at his son, stared, and didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Houzhao also looked at his father, but blinked his big eyes and pretended to be innocent.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhu glared at his son fiercely, and then said: "It has been investigated, and it has been confronted, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and no one admits guilt, it is very difficult to find out the truth, and the public opinion outside is turbulent, if this matter is not handled well, something will happen." ”

Zhu Houzhao pouted, something happened? In Zhu Houzhao's view, this is more like a persecution case of public opinion, Xu Jing and Tang Bohu were obviously trapped.

Although the things that these two second-class goods did were really unreliable, they must be the only ones who did this, who made these two guys so high-profile? Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to think about it, why did everything leak out? In this era, these people are better than the paparazzi of later generations, how can they find everything?

Something like this, can't you do it quietly? Why is it inexplicably full of wind and rain in the city?

If Zhu Houzhao knew the college entrance examination questions in his previous life, he would definitely not tell anyone, why did this make everyone known?

Zhu Hou looked at his father and said directly: "Then it is even more necessary to find out, otherwise it is not enough to be angry with the people, otherwise it is not enough to reassure people, otherwise it is not enough to give an explanation to the world." ”

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao is a car talker, and he doesn't say anything about it at all, after the Ye Qi incident, Zhu Houzhao has already discovered the changes in his father, he no longer believes in what those readers say, these people are tall and tall, but in fact there is no lower limit at all, and they can't be fooled.

The father and son stared at each other for a long time, and Zhu Youzhu scolded with a smile: "Little slippery head, it's okay." Tell me, what exactly do you think? ”

"Father, in fact, this matter is very simple, the exam has just been completed, and there has been a rumor on the street that 'Jiangyin rich man Xu Jing bribes to get the test questions', what does this mean? This shows that someone has seen the article written by Xu Jing, this article is the same as the exam question, which is also the difficulty of this question, if there is no question, then why is there such a thing? ”

"Secondly, Erchen took a look at the file handed over with the Jinyi Wei excerpt, how did this matter involve Cheng Minzheng? First, Xu Jing and Tang Yin both visited Cheng Minzheng. ”

"One said that he admired Cheng Min's political talent and wanted to apprentice, and the other was like Cheng Minzheng begging for literature, melon fields and plums! Erchen also discovered one thing, that is, this time the imperial examination questions are very rare, so there are not many good articles, but when reading the papers, Cheng Minzheng saw two wonderful articles, and praised these two articles must have been written by Xu Jing and Tang Yin. ”

Judging from the previous things, the question looks real, but it doesn't seem to be true, if it is true, how can Tang Yin Xu Jing let people see the sample essay he wrote? After it is done, it must be memorized by heart, and then burned, Tang Yin is the solution of Tianfu, and there is no need to ask outsiders to do a sample. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu nodded, looked at his son appreciatively, and didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but his son's suspicions were reasonable.

"The second is Cheng Minzheng, if he really leaked the question to Xu Jing and Tang Yin, shouldn't he alienate them? Or even pretend to be uncooked? Why do you praise the two excellent papers when you are grading, which were made by Xu Jing and Tang Yin? Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? This is also counterintuitive. ”

"The whole thing is hidden behind the fog, and if you want to find out the truth, I'm afraid it's very difficult!" Zhu Houzhao said and sighed helplessly, saying that Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at his father.

In fact, now Zhu Houzhao understands a little, why the father directly punished Xu Jing and Tang Bohu in history, partly because he wanted to give an explanation to public opinion, and the other part should be really angry. cut Tang Yin and Xu Jing's Shizi status, and at the same time became officials, you must know that scholars look down on officials, this practice is tantamount to stepping on the dignity of the two into the mud.

But why is this happening? Why would an emperor like Zhu Youzhu do this to these two people? It is estimated that Xu Jing didn't tell the truth until the end, or it was for deterrence.

The gentleman who went to Beijing to take the exam, not to mention anything else, you went to the examiner's house to ask for an essay and send money, which makes it difficult for people to think that you are okay. What kind of official is such a person, what makes Zhu Youzhu even more annoyed is Cheng Minzheng, how can you do things? actually did such an unreliable thing.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance and smiled slightly, but still said: "Sometimes, the truth is not so important, and I work hard to get into the camp, and I come to the examiner before the exam, even if there is no question, it shows that my mind is not right." Cheng Minzheng, as the examiner, should be upright, doesn't he know to avoid suspicion? ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao still thinks that this problem does not exist, there are such people in this era, they think that a gentleman does not need to do this kind of thing, and he is frank in everything he does, why should he hide it from others? Why avoid suspicion? That's not his own style, it's not a gentleman's doing, Zhu Houzhao knows very well that there are still many such people in this era.

When Cheng Minzheng was ten years old, he was recommended to the court as a "prodigy", and was ordered by the emperor to study in the Hanlin Academy. At the age of twenty-three, he was one of the first and second Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua, the least of the more than 350 people on the same list. The former official Zuo Yude, speaking directly to the East Palace, is knowledgeable, and is the crown of the moment. The heir of filial piety, the promotion of young Zhan affairs, the direct feast, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Looking at Cheng Minzheng's resume, you can see that this person has been reading sage books all his life, and Zhu Houzhao is not surprised at all to do this kind of thing.

Xu Jing and Tang Bohu went to find him, and it was not surprising, because who was this? The old-timers of the imperial examination class, the academic tyrant. What happened to Xu Jing Zhu Houzhao didn't know, but Zhu Houzhao felt that it was unlikely that Tang Bohu would go to get the exam questions, Tang Bohu was the Xie Yuan of the Nanzhili Township Exam, and he was not necessarily a high eight buckets, but it was certain that he would run to get the questions?

"Tell me, what are you going to do if you have to deal with this matter?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked again.

This time Zhu Houzhao was indifferent, in fact, this matter is very easy to handle, just deal with it directly, first of all, Cheng Minzheng, you will take the main exam, you should avoid suspicion before the exam, needless to say, right? But what about you? Not only did they pass very closely, but they also collected money and wrote essays for them, what about their brains? Even if there is no problem, this kind of brainless official will go home as soon as possible, and the Qingliu official is okay, and he may not do anything if he has real power. Don't do such an official, go home, just leave your post and return home.
