But the premise is that the matter must be made bigger, the bigger the matter, whether Yang Jian takes advantage of the situation to kill people afterwards or weakens the power of the gate valve family, it will be smoother.

And these scholars who were used, their reading integrity was completely stimulated, at this time still in the capital of the poor scholars, who did not join them in the ranks of meditation, only afraid of the shame of death, now they are under the instigation of "Xu Jingzong", there is no fear of death, just want to leave a name in history, why not be afraid of swords and axes.

They think that the imperial court is too unfair to their group, so they want to fight for their own power as officials, but they don't understand that all the power belongs to the emperor and the family of the gate lords, and only the emperor gives you your share, and you have no right to ask for it.

Sure enough, before he saw Yang Jian, the eunuch Bai Shi secretly sent him the latest news, His Majesty ordered more than 1,000 scholars to disperse, the latter did not listen, and had to wait for the court to give an explanation, Zhao Shuliang directly ordered to disperse by force, and there was a conflict on the spot, three Hanmen scholars died on the spot, more than a dozen Hanmen scholars were injured, and they were finally driven away, and Xu Jingzong, who took the lead in making trouble, was nowhere to be found.

……

……

In the East Palace, the crown prince Yang Guang, like his son Yang Jian, was also furious, because it was his staff member Xu Jingzong who took the lead in making trouble.

"Come on, bring Xu Jingzong, the daring and reckless man, back to Lonely, to see the corpse when he dies, and to see the person when he lives." Yang Guang gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Wait!" Among the seven or eight staff members next to him, Zhang Jike, a new staff member, suddenly came out of the ranks and said loudly.

As soon as Yang Guang heard that someone dared to disobey him, murderous intent loomed on his face, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Zhang Jike, his expression eased slightly, and shouted: "Zhang Jike, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Jike bowed and said, "Your Highness, this matter is very strange. ”

Yang Guang's heart moved, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Jike's face was unfathomable, and he said solemnly: "Your Highness, if you can calculate all your Highness, the Great Prince, Gao Ying, Wang Junlin and Zhou Chengyan, there is only one person in the entire capital, and even in the whole world." ”

Yang Guang's body was shocked, and he suddenly got up, and said, "You mean to say that this is arranged by the emperor......

Zhang Jike said categorically: "That's right, only Your Majesty can let Xu Jingzong hide it from His Royal Highness." ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he basically believed Zhang Jike's statement, his face changed, he sat on the soft couch, frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "What is the purpose of my father's this?" ”

Zhang Jike's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty has been doing what he wants to do. ”

Yang Guang's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, the purpose of the father emperor is to weaken and attack the various gate lords and nobles. ”

Zhang Jike hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe Your Majesty still has the intention of knocking His Royal Highness and the eldest prince by the way." ”

……

……

Wang Junlin walked into the back hall of the Guanwen Palace, the atmosphere inside was very depressing, and the palace maids, eunuchs and guards were all driven out by Yang Jian.

Only Yang Jian sat on the high throne, and the crown of heaven covered his face, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"The king is here to see Your Majesty." Obediently lie down and ask for sin, this is the treatment of the sinner, who will be a kowtow worm.

Yang Jian's sneer was like a crow hovering in the low sky, and at a certain moment the sneer suddenly stopped, and shouted: "Wang Junlin, you are so bold, last time you instigated tens of thousands of people to destroy the Changping palace and kill the king of Changping, I didn't cure your crime, and now you dare to incite thousands of poor scholars to sit quietly in front of the imperial city and put pressure on me, do you think that if you push out one of the prince's staff, I don't know that you did it, or do you think that I can't kill you, a courtier with ill intentions?" ”

Yang Jian's expression and words were murderous, but when Wang Junlin heard it, he was completely relieved, Yang Jian's reaction was all in his expectation, or Yang Jian, as the founding emperor of the Great Sui, really did not disappoint him.

"Your Majesty, everything the minister does is to follow His Majesty's will." Wang Junlin said loudly, confidently, and said with a face full of grievances.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Junlin, he thought that Wang Junlin would beg for mercy, explain, and deny, but he never thought that Wang Junlin would say this, so he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "You said, when did I let you do such a thing." If you don't know, I'll have your head cut off today. ”

Wang Junlin said: "Your Majesty, the minister was summoned to the capital by His Majesty from the bitter cold border in the northwest, and on the first day of meeting His Majesty, His Majesty added the vassal as the founding marquis and the general of Zhenyuan, and His Majesty also told the minister at that time to let the minister become the sword in the hands of His Majesty, although His Majesty did not clearly say where the sword of the minister fell, but the minister knew where His Majesty's troubles were, so all the things that the minister did in the past two months were to remove His Majesty's troubles, and this time the minister did the same thing. ”

Yang Jian's eyes flashed, he looked at Wang Junlin deeply, and after half a sound, he said, "You want to create a chance for me, but when you made this plan, why didn't you tell me first." ”

Wang Junlin glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one in the hall, so he said: "Because there are disloyal people around Your Majesty, the ministers are afraid of leaking the news, so that the thieves are prepared. ”

Yang Jian was silent for a long time, of course he knew who Wang Junlin was talking about, and he could even feel that Wang Junlin was hinting that he was not decisive enough to kill and miss the old feelings too much. Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, had saved his life before, and Du Luoge, the commander of the Houguan Mansion, had saved his life, and these two people were not loyal enough to him, but they had too many ideas of their own.

"Do you want to protect those thirteen poor scholars from the humble sect?" I don't know how long it took, Yang Jian suddenly asked.

Wang Junlin replied calmly: "Except for one of them who has said a word to the minister, the minister still doesn't know the thirteen of them, how to talk about selfishness, and the minister can guarantee that the thirteen of them are all really talented and learned, and the minister thinks that my Great Sui Imperial Court really needs the existence of cold officials at the moment." ”

Yang Jian's heart was shocked, and Wang Junlin's last sentence suddenly reached his heart, which made him believe that Wang Junlin was different from those officials from family families, who were dedicated to the sake of the court and society, and were real pure ministers.

With such a judgment, Yang Jian looked at Wang Jun again, his expression was much gentler, but in his heart he really appreciated and liked it. Of course, he also believed what Wang Junlin said just now. At the same time, he finally made a decision in his heart, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, please condemn your ministers." With a faint smile on his face, Wang Junlin suddenly said solemnly.

Yang Jian glanced at Wang Junlin deeply and said, "Okay! I will grant your wishes. ”

……

……

The candidates who had just taken the palace examination were sent out of the palace, and no one mentioned the ranking of the palace examination to them, which made many people baffled. But when they left the palace and learned what happened in front of the imperial city today, they were shocked one by one, and then they were extremely angry. Because in this way, there is a lot of uncertainty about whether they make the list or not. This includes thirteen scholars from the poor family, including Fang Qiao and Wei Yunqi, but they are not only depressed, but their mood is more inexplicably complicated.

It is very clear in the book of 10,000 words that the chief examiner Gao Ying, the deputy examiner Zhou Chengyan and the chief supervisor Wang Junlin took the lead in favoritism and fraud, which mentioned that Wang Junlin used his power for personal gain, accepted money and goods from Fang Qiao, Wei Yunqi and other thirteen people, and used his position to help thirteen people in high school. And these thirteen people are the thirteen poor scholars.

……

……

"A good Qin Anhou, a good Zhenyuan poison general, calculated everyone, it can be called killing two birds with one stone, although the old man has already looked up to him, but it turns out that he still underestimated him in the end." A carriage calmly left the imperial city, and the soldiers guarding the imperial city gate did not check the inside of the carriage after seeing the token in the hand of the eunuch driving the carriage, and let it go.

The person sitting in the carriage was Gao Ying, and the person who spoke just now was also Gao Ying, and sitting opposite Gao Ying was Qiu Fu, the eldest son of Qiu Rui, the only survivor of the Changping Wangfu lineage.

After the Changping palace was destroyed by nearly 10,000 people that day, the crown prince Yang Guang decisively sent two masters of the void breaking period to lead a group of killers to chase and kill Qiu Fu, Qiu Fu sensed the danger and hid with the help of Gao Ying, no one expected Qiu Fu to hide in the imperial city.

"Gao Gong, forgive the younger generation for being stupid and failing to see why Wang Junlin, a dog thief, killed two birds with one stone in this matter." Qiu Fu pondered for a while, and humbly asked Gao Ying for advice.

Gao Ying's face was a little pale, and he sighed at this time and said: "Wang Junlin skillfully used Xu Jingzong, a fool, to carry the black pot for him and expose the fraud in the imperial examination to the world, and the biggest benefit is that he has completely won His Majesty's appreciation through this matter and has become the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, because the biggest beneficiary of this matter is Your Majesty." Secondly, those thirteen scholars from the poor family are all rare talents, if the old man is not mistaken, His Majesty will reuse these thirteen scholars from the cold family, which will undoubtedly make Wang Junlin have thirteen more right-hand men in the court. Of course, the premise is that these thirteen lucky boys can survive after this incident. ”

……

……

The thirteen scholars who were on the list of the Ministry of Rites were isolated by the other scholars, and the scholars from the nobles of the gate valve were full of hostility and disdain for them, so they naturally hugged together to keep warm.

Not long after leaving the palace, the thirteen people stayed in the same inn, which was also the Taiping Inn where Fang Qiao, Wei Yunqi, and Liu Ziming lived before.

At this time, these thirteen people were sitting in the hall on the first floor of the inn drinking stuffy wine, and from time to time someone secretly sighed or cursed in a low voice.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the inn, and the three of them stood up curiously, listening to someone roaring in ecstasy outside: "Your Majesty has a decree to take the chief examiner Taichangqing Gao Ying, the deputy examiner Zhou Chengyan, and the marquis of Qin An Wang Junlin from their posts and put them in prison!" ”

Boom! Autumn thunder resounded over Kyoto, and a fresh autumn rain fell on the candidates inside and outside the inn.

The sparse raindrops fell around the inn, accompanied by the raindrops, and from time to time there was a spring thunder sounding, after the candidates in the entire capital heard the news, all the candidates who had not passed the exam before fell into a boiling of joy, and Fang Qiao and other thirteen scholars in the Taiping Inn fell into a very strange silence.
