"Investigating the case? Did I have an order for you to leave Dali Temple? The Emperor's face softened slightly.

"Father, my son heard Zhang Xiaojing say that there was fraud in the imperial examination this year, after all, the imperial examination is related to my Tang Dynasty selection, it is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty, and I am in a hurry to follow the power, so I left Dali Temple with Zhang Xiaojing, a death row prisoner, and went to Fengyue Xiaozhu to investigate the case!" When Yu Zhiqian said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

As for why he simply said that he was going to drink flower wine? In this case, the emperor was furious and abolished the position of Prince Yu Zhiqian, wouldn't he get his wish?

Too young, I can only say that the person who talks like this is too young, if he is deposed as the crown prince because of this incident, Yu Zhiqian estimates that he will not go out for the rest of his life, and he will definitely be kept in captivity in a small building, but for the rest of his life, this is not what Yu Zhiqian wants.

"Really?"

"Yes, father, son-in-law in Fengyue Xiaozhu, asked Lu Bu, a candidate who participated in this year's scientific examination, with key evidence, this year's high school promotion Su Can, before the scientific examination, he couldn't even write his own name, but he was able to enter high school, father, if this matter is true, then my Tang Dynasty can be a high school jinshi as long as I have money, then Emperor Taizong's imperial examination to attract the world's talents will only become a game for powerful families!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian kowtowed heavily, looking like that.

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, the emperor squinted his eyes: "Is this true?" ”

"Father, Lu Bu has been brought back by Jing Ke, you will know as soon as you ask!"

"Bring Lu Bu up!"

"Yes!"

Wu Sangui immediately trotted out of the main hall and conveyed the order.

Originally, it was impossible for Lu Bu to see the emperor, in ancient times, if you wanted to see the emperor, either you were a relative of the emperor, or after a high-ranking official, the commoners wanted to see the emperor In addition to the emperor's patrol, it was to study hard, and after high school, there would be a palace exam, and you could see the emperor from afar, but otherwise, it was impossible.

When Lu Bu was taken to the palace by Jing Ke, the whole person was already trembling, and when he heard that the emperor was going to summon him, the whole person couldn't stand steadily, and sat directly on the ground.

"Quick, change his clothes, he smells of alcohol, if he provokes the wrath of the saint, none of you will have a good time!"

Compared with Lu Bu, Zhang Xiaojing sat on the chair casually, holding the pastry in his hand and tasting it slowly, as a death row prisoner, he accepted his fate no matter what, how bad could he be there, and he could see the emperor before he died, and he could blow it with his brother after he went down?

Lu Bu was almost carried to the main hall, and after entering the main hall, the two Jin Wuwei let go of their arms, and Lu Bu fell directly to the ground, and then knelt on the ground in a panic: "Grass people, grass people, Lu Bu, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!" ”

"Hmm!"

Seeing Lu Bu's frightened appearance, the emperor was quite satisfied, his serious expression eased a lot, and he coughed lightly, making his voice as soft as possible: "Lu Bu, right, listen to the prince, you told him about this imperial examination fraud?" ”

After Lu Bu heard this, he immediately kowtowed his head twice in a row: "Your Majesty, it was the grass people who said it, Your Majesty, there are indeed people who cheat in the imperial examination this year!" "Now Lu Bu has recovered a little, after all, he is also a scholar, and after his mentality has eased up, he can speak normally, without stuttering or trembling.

"Huh? Do you know what it is to slander others? ”

"The grass people know that according to the Tang law, slandering the innocence of others will be punished for 50 years in prison!"

The so-called punishment is to take something similar to an iron plate, pump the mouth fifty times, and after fifty strokes, the mouth of the average person will be crooked if it is not rotten, and it will be exiled for a thousand miles.

"It's good to know, tell me what's going on!"

"Yes!" Speaking of business, Lu Bu respectfully kowtowed to the emperor: "Report to Your Majesty, Caomin Lu Bu, Jiuyuan Baotou, report the fraud in this imperial examination, Jinshi Su Can, more than a month before the reference, he was not literate, and he once hired the grass people with three hundred taels of silver to teach him to write the name Su Can, and when the list was released, the grass people found that Su Can was at the end of the three lists!" ”

"This Su Can is the Su Can you taught him to write?"

"Yes! When the list was released, Su Can was present and had a loud debauchery, so the grass people have a particularly deep memory! ”

"Wu Sangui!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Find out the questions of this year's Su Can imperial examination, and by the way, find out Su Can's signature in the examination room!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wu Sangui immediately retreated and began to get busy, the emperor continued to deal with his own government affairs, and Yu Zhiqian continued to kneel on the ground, for a minute, ten minutes, Yu Zhiqian couldn't stand it anymore, and began to make small movements.

"Bastard, do you know what the crime should be for losing your honor in front of the palace!"

"Father, son, son, son!"

Yu Zhiqian's cheap father stared at Yu Zhiqian for a while: "Get up, go wait outside!" ”

"Thank you, Father!"

Yu Zhiqian trotted up and ran out of the hall, it was so scary, if he could, he could travel back, Yu Zhiqian immediately went back to be a dick, and he didn't want to come here to suffer.

In ancient times, in Yu Zhiqian's words, it was too low, if it was placed in modern times, this kind of thing was very simple to deal with, just send a WeChat message to the past, and then take a photo over.

Now it is necessary for the eunuch to find someone to pass the order, and then transfer the scroll out, and then someone will send it into the palace again, layer by layer, at least half an hour, and it is very easy to leak secrets.

"Yo, it's out, I thought you could be scared to death like that!"

"Humph!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly, and no longer paid attention to Zhang Xiaojing, he was a person who had seen the emperor, and he was not as knowledgeable as this kind of person.

"Zhang Xiaojing, do you want to die or do you want to live!"

Yu Zhiqian grabbed a pastry, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked Zhang Xiaojing.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who wants to die if they can live! ”

"That's okay, I want to find a way, but you can't run away from this death sentence, live with a different identity, how will Chang'an City come in the future!"

“……”

As Yu Zhiqian expected, it was about an hour before his cheap father re-summoned himself and Lu Bu, but this time the emperor's face was pale.

Just now, Wu Sangui whispered a few words in front of the emperor, this year's scientific examination file is still there, but the signed book is gone, and the ministry's response is that the treasury of the ministry ran out of water a few days ago and was burned down, and the ministry reported this matter before, just because the important dossiers are still there, and the emperor didn't care.

If there was no Lu Bu to report the fraud in the imperial examination, this time the water was only a part of the daily performance of the six departments, after all, there are other yamen in the six departments every year, and there are often some water walking things.

It's just that now it seems that it may not be as simple as an ordinary water walk, if the fraud in the imperial examination is true, then the people involved in the fraud will definitely have to destroy the evidence.

Just when Yu Zhiqian and the others were kneeling on the ground, waiting for the emperor's latest order, a guard hurriedly ran into the main hall: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has come to report, just now the Treasury of the Ministry of Officials is running water, the fire is fierce, and the diving army in the city is being mobilized to fight the fire!" ”

"Lawlessness, lawlessness!"

The emperor stood up instantly, then paced in place, thought for three seconds and said, "Let Du Ruhui roll over and see me!" ”

At the same time, he looked at Yu Zhiqian and thought for a long time: "Prince! ”

"Erchen is here!"

"Now I order you to have full authority to track down the fraud case in this year's imperial examination, and it is necessary to find out the truth about the case!"

"The son obeys the order, but the father, the son wants you to be alone!"

"Who?"

"Zhang Xiaojing?"

"Zhang Xiaojing? That death row inmate? What do you want him to do? ”

Yu Zhiqian's eyes rolled: "Father, Zhang Xiaojing used to be a bad marshal in Wannian County, he is very familiar with Chang'an City, and he has acquaintances in the three sects and nine streams, this case of fraud in the imperial examination is extraordinary, and his father has not yet ordered to just check the file, and he immediately burned the file of the ministry, which shows that the people behind the scenes are huge, and the ministers are worried that the investigation will leak the news, so they ......"

There is nothing wrong with Yu Zhiqian's reason, and at the same time, Yu Zhiqian is also very frightened, what kind of person can be so hand-eyed? This side has just read the file and the other side can catch fire, if the two things are not related, no one will believe it at all.

However, this has exposed a piece of information, the means of the people behind the scenes are indeed through the sky, well-informed and have a group of loyal subordinates, the treasury of the Ministry of Officials is not something that ordinary people can enter, and even when the prime minister enters the door, he must verify his identity before he can enter.

"Well, yes, Wu Sangui!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Inform Dali Temple, Zhang Xiaojing seconded the prince for a month, a month, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will deal with your going to the Qinglou today, hehe, the prince entered the Qinglou without permission, I think it's not just as simple as abolishing your prince's position!"

Originally, Yu Zhiqian was quite happy after hearing the punishment, and he would delay it for a month, and then let his cheap dad abolish himself, but now it seems that his cheap dad has long seen through himself and does not give himself this chance at all.

"Sons obey orders!"

"Lu Bu reported meritorious, the bounty is one hundred taels, step down!"

"Yes!"

The so-called bounty of one hundred taels is not one hundred taels of gold, but one hundred copper coins, but this copper coin is different from the one circulating on the market, it is a symbol of honor, and some large families will accept it, probably one can be exchanged for one tael of gold, but ordinary people will not take it out at all until they are cornered, after all, this is a symbol of glory.

"Zhang Xiaojing, congratulations, follow me for a month for the time being, within a month, crack this case of fraud in the imperial examination, and when the time comes, I will plead with my father again, maybe your capital crime will be pardoned!"

After Yu Zhiqian took over the task, he didn't have any nervousness, a month is a long time, you can take your time, and if you want to crack this case, it's very simple, just take out the test paper and write it for Su Can, this thing even knows how to write the name, let him answer the question, it's even more difficult than ascending to the sky!
