It is indeed unexpected that there is such a large-scale fraud incident in Chunqiu, but it is also reasonable.

After all, the people of the capital have long heard of the fraud in the imperial examination, except that they did not expect such a large scale, and the others can also be imagined, which is a common thing among the nobles.

But the really unpredictable thing is that this court movement to catch fraud is so vigorous, but it can be calmed down with lightning speed, and even some people who watched the excitement have not felt anything, and it has already ended.

And this pacification is not a compromise between the two sides, it is a victory for Jiangyang to play all the games, all the fraudulent candidates and examiners were arrested, and the officials carried out a big clearance, in other words, the current officials are completely under Jiangyang's control, which can't help but make some officials who are watching in the court see some realities clearly.

It turns out that the era that belongs to Jiangyang has arrived.

And as the most important behind-the-scenes operator of this incident, what happens next is none of his business.

Ten miles away from the capital, the rising sun will shine the new willows warm green, and the flowing water by the small river gurgles, which makes people's mood unconsciously calm down.

Su Xuping casually broke off a branch from the willow branch on the side of the road, handed it to Mo Qian, and said earnestly.

"The road to Yangcheng is difficult, boy, you have to take care all the way! Those stinky problems have been changed, don't be so impulsive, don't worry, Your Majesty just asked you to go to Yangcheng to hone your qualifications, and you will be back soon. ”

"Old Su, don't worry about me, didn't you say that the prefect of Yangcheng is a beautiful person? Where the world is prosperous, many people in the capital have broken their heads, why do you wish I would come back soon? ”

Mo Qian said jokingly, in fact, he himself knew what kind of errand it was.

Yangcheng is indeed the most prosperous place in the world, the Yangtze River, the Grand Canal meet, the water and land transportation is very developed, the so-called "Huaizuo famous capital, Zhuxi good place" is.

Both the strategic position and the cultural importance of Yangcheng are reflected in Yangcheng, which is a military fortress for soldiers in times of political conflict, and turns into a prosperous commercial and cultural center in times of peace.

Yangcheng is such a stage, where businessmen and soldiers perform alternately, and you sing and I appear.

It is precisely because of this that this place is destined not to be peaceful.

Daqi's salt monopoly management agency was set up in Yangcheng, making Yangcheng the largest salt distribution place in Daqi. Salt is the most important weapon of the country, and salt merchants have become an indispensable role in the distribution of salt.

Under the monopoly sales, the salt merchants hoarded a lot of money, and they were also the top group in Yangcheng, followed by the sale of private salt, which formed a contradiction between the salt merchants and the imperial court.

In addition, Yangcheng has developed water and land transportation, and in recent years, the Japanese who have been rampant along the coast can even go deep along the Yangtze River, and from time to time they will go to Yangcheng to plunder, facing only dozens or hundreds of Japanese robbers, but they can only make the soldiers of Daqi flee in despair.

What's even more troublesome is the rebel forces that have been entrenched in the south, deep-rooted, when they can't keep it together, they will gather to conquer the city, prosperity is indeed prosperous, but it is not a simple place, from the perspective of these Yangcheng prefects, none of them have had a good end.

"You know all these things yourself, and the old man won't say much, when you arrive in Yangcheng, you need to remember to be cautious in everything you do, and you must not act recklessly." Su Xuping said.

"Naturally, you can rest assured." Mo Qian said with a smile, and then pondered for a while, "It's just that during the days when I'm away, Fei Yan has to trouble you to take care of it more." ”

"Hmph, it's okay if you don't mention it, you are still standing up in front of the old man, do you want to be beaten? You've only been married for a few days, and you're going to leave her to go to Yangcheng, if something happens to you, wouldn't you want her to be widowed? Su Xuping said angrily.

Mo Qian smiled a little embarrassedly, after the Spring Festival, he simply got married, and the two of them didn't pay attention to these pompous things, so they didn't do it in a big way, but now they are going to travel far away in a few days, and they are indeed a little sorry for her.

"It's because I know that Yangcheng's trip is dangerous, so I don't let her follow me, I don't want her to take risks, so I still have to trouble you to take more care."

"Do you still have to say that? Whoever dares to touch a single hair of the old man's daughter, the old man is the first to break his leg. ”

Su Xuping said viciously, and then looked at the sky, "Okay, it's not early, you should hurry up and get on the road." ”

"Then let's leave it at that, Old Su, take care!" Mo Qian bowed respectfully to Su Xuping, and in these days in the capital, it was also thanks to Su Xuping's help many times that Mo Qian got through the difficulties.

Mo Qian turned around and wanted to get into the carriage, but at this time, more than ten horses galloped from a distance, and when they arrived in front of Mo Qian's carriage, they hurriedly dismounted.

At the front was a handsome man, "Xiang Ziyu has seen Lord Mo, thank you for enforcing the law impartially this time, so I eliminated these many scum." ”

"Yes, thank you for enforcing the law impartially." The people behind Xiang Ziyu said one after another. Xiang Ziyu? Mo Qian was a little puzzled, as if he hadn't seen this person.

"Childe, this is Xiang Ziyu, the champion of today's department."

So that's the case, Mo Qian somewhat understood, the competition in this imperial examination is He Qi cruel, those

Many people who have been caught cheating also have the opportunity to be promoted to the jinshi, but they are just greedy for profit and ruined their future, if there is no Mo Qian, whether they can be promoted now is another matter, of course, thanks to Mo Qian.

"These are all responsibilities, don't mind, I just hope that you will be able to help the world as an official in the future, so as to live up to the grace of Your Majesty's name and title."

"That's how it should be." Everyone scrambled to speak. Xiang Ziyu pondered for a while, "Brother Mo's heart really makes Ziyu admire, but it's a pity that Mo Qian took office in a hurry, otherwise he must have a long talk." ”“

However, it is not easy to go to Yangcheng, if you encounter any difficulties, you might as well go to Yangcheng to your home, maybe it can be of some help. Mo Qian knew that the other party was showing affection, and he did not refuse, after all, in this officialdom, there is nothing wrong with the phrase one more friend and one more road.

"It's not too early, Mo will leave it at that, everyone, goodbye!" Mo Qian said with a smile.

"Master Mo has a good trip." Everyone said in unison. Mo Qian swept the hem of his chin and was about to step into the carriage.

It's just that at this time, another loud voice came from a distance, "Master Mo, keep people under the horse!" The corners of Mo Qian's mouth twitched vigorously, who made this idiom so blunt!

Immediately afterwards, I saw a shiny bald head rushing all the way from a distance, almost lighting up Mo Qian's eyes.
