Chapter 970: Temporarily Sheltering from the Limelight

Master Chu originally thought that Gu Moxi, like himself, would definitely find a way to let these talented scholars pass the imperial examination for the sake of Dayan, but Mi thought that Gu Moxi had coldly rejected him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He was a little angry, and said that Gu Moxi was a fair and honest good official, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that, he is also afraid of the power of the Yang family, right?

"Although I am only a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, I also know that if such a talent is lost in vain, it must be my Dayan's loss, I want to go to the emperor to participate in Yang Yan's book, if you are afraid, you can turn a deaf ear!"

After speaking, Lord Chu left very angrily.

Lu Cancan heard it clearly behind the curtain, and after the others left, she came out from behind the curtain and asked Gu Moxi why she didn't help Master Chu.

"Yang Yan will not be without a backhand, even if he makes trouble in front of the emperor, it will have little effect, and he may be startled."

"And what do you mean?"

Lu Cancan knew that Gu Moxi would not ignore the Yang family, but she wanted to know what Gu Moxi planned to do.

He smiled slightly: "The ulcer is rotten to a certain extent before it can be removed, now we just need to wait and see what happens." ”

Sure enough, the next day, Lord Chu said in front of the emperor that Yang Yan was cheating for personal gain, and that he was unfair as the chief examiner, and he said it impassionedly, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty stood up and echoed him.

Yang Yan even knelt directly on the ground and begged the emperor to investigate, saying that there was absolutely no such thing, and it was slandered by Lord Chu.

He directly presented the test papers for this exam for the emperor to see in person.

"The student that Lord Chu said, although his literary skills are acceptable, but he talks about the government in vain, and he also says a lot of guilty things, although this kind of person is knowledgeable, but he doesn't put the court in his eyes, how can he become the pillar of Dayan?"

Yang Yan's clever mouth can say that black is white, Lord Chu is just an old bachelor in the end, he looks clumsy in front of his clever tongue, and it is obviously reasonable but also unreasonable.

Yang Yan generously stated to Lord Chu, saying that if Lord Chu had an opinion about him, he could speak out, and there was no need to slander his innocence like this.

Lord Chu didn't catch his breath, and fainted directly on the court.

The emperor ordered the forbidden army to carry him down, which was very embarrassing.

Yang Yan glanced at Gu Moxi proudly, he was still quite smart, he didn't come out to get involved, if Gu Moxi dared to help Lord Chu speak, he would definitely not let him go.

Lin Yi saw that Master Chu was carried out and asked what was wrong, and the forbidden army told Lin Yi about today's affairs in the palace.

"The Yang family deceives people too much."

Although Bachelor Chu usually does not have a high sense of presence in the court, he is a good official who thinks about the society and the people, and Lin Yi also sighed when he saw him so miserable now.

He instructed the forbidden army to take care of Master Chu, and then ask an imperial doctor to come and take a look at him.

The emperor said that since this matter was made out of nothing, and Master Chu slandered Yang Yan's innocence, then he would severely punish Master Chu, Yang Yan knelt down again and said that Lord Chu also misunderstood him a little, and begged the emperor to be merciful and forgive Lord Chu.

Yang Yan's move was praised by the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, and they all praised him for his deep understanding of righteousness and ignorance of previous suspicions.

Only Lu Pingyao, Lin Zimo, and Gu Moxi stood there, looking at those flattering people lightly.

After the next dynasty, Yang Yan returned to Yang's house, and Yang Taishi said that Yang Yan handled it well today.

"Although Old Man Chu is only a bachelor, he is old and has a high reputation among the literati, if you are unforgiving, I am afraid that the emperor and the world will think that you are too deceitful."

Yang Yan took retreat as advance, which not only gave him a good reputation, but also made the emperor feel that he was advancing and retreating appropriately, which was good.

"It's all taught by you, Dad."

"Well, what's going on with the imperial examination?"

Yang Yan reassured Taishi Yang that there were a lot of silver from those magistrates and wealthy families, which was enough to make up for the deficit left behind by the ban on enclosure.

"Be careful."

"All the money didn't go directly to me, I asked my men to do it."

Just in case, all the silver that was sent to the capital was sent to Ye Qing's father, and then handed over to Yang Yan, even if someone found something, they would not be implicated.

If this matter is done, Yang Yan plans to marry Ye Qing and make a side room.

"Ye Qing? Is it the noble girl who is often with Qiong'er? ”

"Yes, my son thinks he likes her a lot, so when the imperial examination is over, his son wants to marry her."

Yang Taishi thought about it, it's okay, Yang Yan has not yet married, although the Ye family is a little high to their Yang family, but a side room is not tight, and her father is also quite obedient, and he can use it in the future.

The so-called marriage is just a transaction, which Ye Qing knows best.

It is already the best destination for her to marry into the Yang family as a side room, even if she knows who she likes in her heart, but she will not be able to realize her dream in this life.

Seeing that the old housekeeper was packing his luggage, Lu Cancan asked Gu Mo where he was going?

"Go to Henan."

"Why is it so sudden?"

Gu Moxi said that he had something important to do when he went to Henan, which was related to the entire Dayan.

"Is it because of the imperial examination?"

Seeing Gu Moxi's serious expression, Lu Cancan guessed it at once.

"That's right, Yang Yan used the imperial examination to make money, I can't sit idly by, but without evidence, there is no way to help Yang Yan."

He planned to go to Henan to find out how those officials under him were filial to Yang Yan's silver.

"If you go to Henan, plus investigate the case, it will take more than half a month at the earliest, and then you will start the palace test."

Even if it was useless for Gu Moxi to find out anything at that time, Lu Cancan had a good idea.

"Tell me about it."

"Let those students strike the exam."

Those students studied hard for ten years just to gain fame, but now because of Yang Yan's nonsense, those students' hard work has come to naught.

"But those students may not be willing."

Not everyone has the courage to stand up to the Yang family.

"The most important thing for literati is reputation and integrity, and I think if I can unite them and tell them the pros and cons, I think they are willing."

They can secretly send a few people to contact those students privately, and then tell them those little tricks played by Yang Yan, and when the day of the exam, no one will take the exam, and the emperor will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

"Yes, that's a great idea."

Gu Moxi looked at Lu Cancan appreciatively, if she could take the exam, she would definitely be on the emperor's list.

Lu Cancan smiled, his words were tormenting himself, if he danced with a knife and a gun, he would be almost the same.
