In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Rites will try to solve the problem, which is considered an unsolved case in history, and several parties to the incident have their own opinions, even if Xu Jing finally admitted that he had bought Cheng Minzheng's servants to obtain the exam questions, but it was basically considered to be caused by torture.

Cheng Minzheng was finally ordered to be ordered to be a minister on the charge of lax supervision, Tang Bohu was assigned a small official, shame did not take office, Xu Jing returned home and closed his door, and died in Beijing eight years later, the family gradually declined after this incident, and it can only be regarded as a well-off family when it comes to its fourth generation descendant Xu Hongzu (that is, Xu Xiake).

This is a headless public case, and if you want to sort out the context, you must first start with the partisan disputes within the imperial court.

Historians generally believe that Cheng Minzheng was designed for Fu Han, who was also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and the fuse was that someone took advantage of the banquet to privately "report" to Hua Yu

, this person is Tang Yin's friend Du Mu.

Du Mu is a native of Xiangcheng, Wu County, at the age of seven he was able to write poetry, and long, well-read, but he has not been able to obtain fame, and served as a tutor in the house of Wu Kuan, who was the right attendant of the Ministry at the time.

When Du Mu was thirty-eight years old, Governor He Gong visited Wu Kuan, and Mu hung a demonstration article in the Wu Family School, and praised it, so he recommended it to the school, and then passed the hospital examination.

After that, Du Mu and Tang Bohu participated in the township examination together, and at the same time passed the examination, and entered Beijing to participate in the examination at the age of 41.

Although Du Mu and Tang Yin were close friends, he was secretly jealous of his talents, and after entering Beijing, Wu Kuan, who returned to Beijing to serve as the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu through Ding Wei, met the Hubu to give things to Zhonghua.

As the rumors of the topic in the capital became more and more intense, Du Mu took advantage of the drunkenness during the banquet to report to the jealous and hateful Hua Yu, saying that Tang Bohu and Xu Jing got the topic from Cheng Minzheng, and used this topic to ask his friends, and he could come out to testify.

When Hua Yu learned about it, he immediately went to the court and said it conclusively...... The scholars did not enter the first session, and the Analects had already been recited; did not enter the second field, and the title of the table was recited outside; The three did not enter, and the third and fourth questions of the strategy were recited outside"

, but no matter how you say it, it's an afterthought, no one really knew the exam questions in advance, only Du Mu stood up and said that the exam questions were from Tang Bohu and Xu Jing.

As for the outcome of the matter, even if there is no evidence, the case was still sentenced, Tang Bohu and Xu Jing's career were ruined, Cheng Minzheng died after being released from prison, and even Hua Yu, who played the game, was demoted.

But there is a beneficiary of the incident, that is, Du Mu, who reported it, he was not among the admissions, but because of his meritorious report, he was finally on the list, and finally became an official in the Ministry of Rites.

"Whoever takes the front in the year is deprived of his name, and he is in the back of his name, but he is remarkable."

Originally, this case would not involve outsiders, but because of Shen Xi's existence, the two exam papers that were originally answered appropriately became three.

Fortunately, Cheng Minzheng didn't know Shen Xi at all, and he sighed that Tang Xu should be in these three exam papers, but he didn't guess that the third person was Shen Xi, and Shen Xi didn't have bad friends around him like Tang Bohu, and no one ran to report Shen Xi, saying that he was related to the question.

Although people outside became famous in one fell swoop because of Shen Xi's fight with Tang Bohu, and they were jealous of him, the spearhead of this case only pointed to Cheng Minzheng, Tang Bohu, and Xu Jing for the time being.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and when Shen Xi learned the reason, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, this fire didn't burn on his body.

Hua Yu played the Hongzhi Emperor on February 27, and the cabinet attached great importance to this, and handed the song to the Hongzhi Emperor on the same day.

It was a matter of taking the imperial examination, and Emperor Hongzhi immediately ordered that the Ministry of Rites should be punished, and the Ministry of Rites should re-examine the volume taken by Cheng Minzheng," ...... Whoever goes through Cheng Minzheng, re-reads it, takes it from the public, and discusses it with interest, and the date of opening the list is also changed to the 29th of this month or the 2nd day of the first month of March. ”

Emperor Hongzhi personally issued an edict, and the Ministry of Science and Rites will try to release the list on the second day of the first month of March, and give a few days for the scholar Li Dongyang to re-examine the file with the same examiner.

At this time, the three main parties to the incident, Tang Bohu and Xu Jing were only imprisoned by Jinyiwei, and Cheng Minzheng was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites after all, and he was also one of the chief examiners of the Ministry of Rites.

The incident is still fermenting.

Shen Xi knew that before the official release of the list on the second day of the first month of March, the case was only the initial stage, and before the judicial process was officially initiated, everyone was only skeptical about it, and no one dared to say who must be related to this case, but there were different opinions outside, and they unconsciously pushed this case to the cusp.

And the greater the pressure of public opinion, the more the court will not dare to close the case easily, and it will inevitably give an explanation to the scholars of the world.

When the incident intensified, Shen Xi could only nest in the Dongsheng Inn, and Su Tong had helped him find out the news before, but now there was no one who could discuss with him.

Occasionally, Yu Niang came over, in addition to telling some rumors on the market, it was to let him relax...... Listening to Yu Niang's meaning, even if he can't get into the Jinshi, he can be an official in the future.

However, Yu Niang's words sounded mostly flattering, and there was not much sincerity.

In a blink of an eye, the day before the Ministry of Rites will try to release the list, on the night of the first day of March, Shen Xi was reading by candlelight, and there was a commotion downstairs, which soon spread to the stairs.

Yu Niang went out to talk first, and after a while, she heard Jiang Liwei's voice coming: "...... Can Shen Gongzi be inside? ”

Yu Niang said: "What is the matter with Lord Jiang's late night visit? ”

"It's not late at night, it's just something to take Shen Gongzi back for questioning."

Saying that, the door opened, Jiang Liwei came in with a few brocade guards, and showed a smile to Shen Xi, "Shen Gongzi, I am looking for you this time to test the problem for the Ministry of Rites." Please bear with me! ”

Shen Xi was a little surprised in his heart, he was about to release the list, and public opinion did not involve him in the case, which one is Jiang Liwei?

Jiang Liwei was obviously ordered to run an errand, and there was no emotion to talk about under the principle of official business, he waved his hand, and several soldiers came behind him, but no one stepped forward to tie him up, obviously Shen Xi was not a prisoner in this case, he had a reputation for raising people, and ordinary soldiers did not dare to touch him.

Yu Niang stopped at the door, with a sneer on her face: "Lord Jiang, you just took Shen Gongzi away, how can the slave family explain to Liu Shilang?" ”

Jiang Liwei smiled: "One yard is one yard, it was originally a case of the household department, but now the Ministry of Etiquette is intervening, it is all the emperor's errand, and it cannot be delayed." In fact, this official is also very embarrassed, I am here to assure Yu Niang that as long as there is no exact order from above, I will never embarrass Shen Gongzi in the slightest. ”

In fact, what Yu Niang wants is his promise.

Generally speaking, after Jinyiwei caught someone, the place he sent to was the edict prison.

In the Ming Dynasty, the judicial system was quite dark, and if you go to prison, let alone Shangguan, the prison officer will be pleasing to the eye, and you will be lynched first, and there is no place to complain.

Especially this time, Jiang Liwei, who had some gaps with Shen Xi, came to take people, and Yu Niang was worried that Shen Xi would suffer from flesh and skin.

"Let's go."

Jiang Liwei waved his hand again, Shen Xi was surrounded by soldiers and Jinyi Wei and took out of the inn, at this time it was not long after night, there were Jinyi Wei in the inn to handle the case, and there were many onlookers outside.

Jiang Liwei said Shen Xi was "assisting in the investigation"

, but a prisoner car was prepared, and the Ming Dynasty did not have much preferential treatment for scholars, and the criminals were all escorted by prisoner cars regardless of suspects and witnesses.

Shen Xi entered the prisoner cart and felt very angry.

is about to be released on the list, but he was imprisoned at the end, does that mean that he is not only not on the list, but also has to suffer some torture like Tang Bohu, Xu Jing and others?

Fortunately, it was night, otherwise it would have been a very embarrassing thing to be transported while sitting in a prison car.

Before the prisoner car reached the corner of the street, he saw Su Tong hurrying with two small servants, and when Shen Xi was standing in the prisoner car, Su Tong wanted to come forward to talk, but was separated by the escorted Jinyi guard.

Shen Xi committed the case, and it was not the Criminal Department to deal with it, but directly used Jinyiwei, which shows that the case is not small.

Su Tong was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to come forward to talk to Shen Xi again.

Shen Xi is not very familiar with the streets of the capital, although he is in a cage, but he doesn't want to admit it, even if it is bumpy, he stands up straight, the prisoner car passes through the streets and alleys, and after walking seven or eight streets in a row, he stops, Shen Xi glanced at it, but it was the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei had the North and South Town Fu Division, of which the North Town Fu Division was responsible for the case of the emperor's order, and could not go through the judicial department, secretly arrested, interrogated and executed.

In the history of the 12th year of Hongzhi's case, the parties were all imprisoned, all of them were imprisoned in Beizhen Fusi, Cheng Minzheng Tang Bohu and Xu Jing were tortured, Cheng Minzheng was old and weak, and died four days after being released from prison.

Tang Bohu's situation is not much better, because this trip to prison has a psychological shadow, and he has never set foot in officialdom again in his life.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Isn't it that I'm also involved?" ”

As soon as Shen Xi got off the prisoner car, someone came over to blindfold him, this time it was the Jinyi guard of the Fusi of Beizhen who personally escorted him, and he kept scolding and pushing Shen Xi all the way when he was polite when he lost the inn.

Shen Xi walked all the way, although he couldn't see it, but he was feeling the surrounding environment, as if he was passing through a courtyard, and there was no sense of haze and dirt like a dungeon or a dungeon.

But in the end, Shen Xi felt that he had entered a hall, and before he could think about where it was, the blindfold had already been taken off.

Shen Xi first judged his location, it was in a place similar to the yamen hall, which should be the main hall of the prisoner's arraignment by the Zhenfu Division.

There are already a lot of people in the lobby, in addition to Jinyiwei, there are two scholars who are also dressed in scholars' clothes, and there is no Tang Bohu, one of them is Shen Xi knows, two years ago, when this person returned to Guangdong Province, he and Su Tongjiang Liwei personally visited, it was the famous Confucian Wenxu in Guangdong.

Seeing that this person was also there, Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, how to say that Lun Wenxu was also the champion of the 12th year of Hongzhi Palace Examination in history, and with Lun Wenxu's reputation and knowledge, how could he not be involved in the case of the question, the person next to him, his body was crippled and his spirit was atrophied, but Shen Xi had never seen it.

Shen Xi thought about it carefully, since the list will be released tomorrow, the vague name of the test paper must have been disassembled, and the candidates and the test papers are numbered.

Could it be that the person who tried the case wanted to call the owners of the three examination papers that answered properly, and asked, is there any situation where there are no questions?

There were three scholars standing in the lobby, and after more than two years, Shen Xi's height had jumped a lot, Lun Wenxu didn't remember Shen Xi anymore, and the three of them were obviously not in the mood to say hello in this environment.

I waited for half an hour, but I still didn't see anyone come out, but there was a "bang" from outside

It was as if some door was shut.

Because Shen Xi was blindfolded all the way, I don't know how many doors have passed in the middle, and what about the lintel, but listening to this sound, it seems that the door is not small.

Then it was Jiang Liwei who entered the lobby, but at this time, Jiang Liwei had already changed into the official uniform of Jinyiwei, but he was a five-grade Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Jiang Liwei turned out to be Zuo Cheng of Nanjing Dali Temple, an official of the fifth grade, and since then he has been following Liu Daxia to do things, although the order has not been promoted, but he has been transferred from Nanjing to the capital, and he has been feared by everyone in Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and Liu Daxia's promotion of him is also quite large.
