Cold sweat suddenly burst out from Guo Shilang's forehead, he glanced at Jiang Chao with wolf-like eyes, his body trembled and looked at Yang Qi, and a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying was squeezed out.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Chaoxu was intimidated by His Majesty's dragon might......"

"Intimidated by my dragon might?"

Yang Qi forcefully interrupted Guo Shilang's words, sneered at him, looked down at Jiang Chao, who was constantly kowtowing, and said jokingly: "Jiang Chao, you said it yourself, are you intimidated by your own dragon might?" ”

Hearing Yang Qi's inquiry, Jiang Chao trembled and said, "The grass people are guilty, and the grass people deserve death......

"Do you hear that? He pleaded guilty to his guilt. ”

"Maybe it's because of the loss of honor in front of the palace......"

Guo Shilang had a bitter face, still defending strongly.

"Enough!"

Yang Qi shouted angrily, interrupted his words, looked at him coldly and said, "Until now, you are still arguing in front of me. As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Why did Jiang Chao do this, don't you really know?!

Do you really want me to lift this last fig leaf? ”

Guo Shilang's face changed, no matter how stupid he was, he understood why Jiang Chao was so out of shape in front of the palace.

Eighty percent of the bribes offered by the Jiang Dynasty have been known to His Majesty.

Guo Shilang's mind turned sharply, but he was not in a hurry to admit his guilt, he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

"I don't know what His Majesty is talking about......"

Guo Shilang gritted his teeth and said such a sentence.

Yang Qijian raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were stunned, "Okay, very good, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." If I don't peel off the mask of your hypocrisy and expose this last fig leaf, you'll really have to carry it to the end. ”

"Jiang Chao, tell Master Guo, how did you get this Yayuan!"

Under Yang Qi's fierce questioning, in Guo Shilang's expectant gaze.

Jiang Chao shuddered, and said hesitantly: "Buy ...... Bought ......"

"How much money did you spend?"

"110,000 Money ......"

"To whom?"

Guo ...... Guo Shi ......"

“……”

Yang Qi's cold gaze fell on Guo Shilang.

Jiang Chao confessed in court, which wiped out all the hopes in Guo Shilang's heart at once, and even pulled him into the bottomless abyss.

"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense! ”

Guo Shilang roared hysterically at Jiang Chao.

He trembled and arched his hand to Yang Qi and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Your Majesty, and he has never done anything to be sorry for His Majesty......"

"Stubborn!"

Yang Qi snorted coldly, and coldly ordered Peng Pai, "Take off his official hat, pull off his official uniform, seal his mouth, and let him kneel down first." ”

Peng Pai nodded, and led three guards with tigers on their backs to pounce on Guo Shilang.

Guo Shilang still wanted to shout, but Peng Pai kicked him in the stomach and kicked all the words in his mouth back into his stomach.

Yang Qi sat on the dragon chair with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, summon hundreds of officials to come to the Qianyuan Palace, I want to judge the first instance in front of them, and I want everyone to know how many flies and dogs are in this imperial examination."

In addition, he sent people to block the bottom of all the officials and officials who participated in the imperial examination and control their families.

I want to find out how many people are making money in it, and how much money they are making. ”

Chen Lin, as a person close to Yang Qi, naturally knew that Yang Qi had been planning this matter for a long time, and now that it was time to close the net, he naturally did not dare to drop the chain.

Immediately, after Chen Lin saluted Yang Qi, he led the imperial guards to pass the decree and seal the mansion.

And the hundreds of people in the Qianyuan Hall were a little embarrassed.

Since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, the first imperial examination has become like this, and they are completely at a loss and don't know how to deal with it.

Some of them, like Jiang Chao, were admitted to the imperial examination through bribery, but they were panicked to death at the moment, and some people were even scared to pee.

Yang Qi looked at them and glanced around, and said lightly: "I am not a person who loves to kill, this time I have cheated in the imperial examination, I am only an official, and I will not condemn you."

Of course, this is only based on your confession.

If someone is lucky, then don't blame me for killing people without blinking. ”

The lifters were taken aback.

Immediately, they didn't care much, and in order to survive, they jumped out one after another to tell a brief process of their bribery.

Yang Qi asked them to write down the detailed bribery process on the paper on the table.

Subsequently, Yang Qi did not embarrass them, and let Zama and Aoki blast them out of the palace.

However, to Yang Qi's surprise, after blasting away more than half of the lifts, there were still more than seventy lifters left in the Qianyuan Palace.

Yang Qihumu glanced at them again, "You didn't participate in the bribery?" ”

Someone got up slowly, and after bowing to Yang Qi, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If you go back to Your Majesty, we are all people who have been tested based on real talent and real learning." It's not like those wine bags and rice bags, who won fame by bribery. ”

Yang Qi nodded slowly, "I hope what you say is true, and I also hope that what you are doing is honest people." Later, I will send someone to investigate, and if it is found that someone has offered bribes, but they conceal it and do not report it, they will be killed. ”

"But by Your Majesty's verification."

Yang Qi nodded again, "I will send someone to investigate, but before that, I want to talk about the disposition of you." You are unfortunate enough to be involved in this case of fraud, so I will not take you.

I give you two choices.

Those who want to wait for the next imperial examination can leave.

Those who are not willing to wait for the next imperial examination, and are willing to pass my assessment and enter the Yenching University Hall for further study, continue to sit down for the examination. ”

More than seventy moves, a moment of hesitation.

After a short period of thought, someone stood up, bowed to Yang Qi, and then withdrew from the Qianyuan Palace.

Then one after another people withdrew.

In the end, there were less than ten of the more than seventy people left.

Yang Qi just watched them leave calmly.

Yang Qi gave them the opportunity, and even gave them more than one chance, but they wanted to go all the way to the black, and they had to follow the imperial examination to the end, what could Yang Qi do.

He is a man, not a god, and cannot change people's hearts.

The remaining ten people, after a short period of recovery, began to calm down and continue to participate in this special assessment.

Although there were hundreds of people in the main hall, it was quiet.

Guo Shilang was tied into a zongzi, and he didn't know whose stinky socks were stuffed in his mouth, and he was thrown in a corner of the main hall, and he struggled frequently, but in vain.

The rustle of the lifters is very pleasant.

After two pillars of incense.

The first batch of officials who received the summoning decree entered the Qianyuan Palace, and after seeing the strange scene on the Qianyuan Palace, they were also stunned.

But they didn't say much, and silently divided into two columns and stood on both sides of the main hall.

And then the second batch, the third batch......

The hundreds of officials came slowly and slowly filled the Qianyuan Palace.

When all the officials arrived.

Yang Qi broke the silence with a light cough, and he smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can walk around and help me take a look at how the imperial examination selection is going this time." ”

After a pause, Yang Qi emphatically said, "Especially those with empty tables. ”

The officials didn't understand Yang Qi's intentions, and after hesitating slightly, they all bowed down and saluted.

"喏~"

The officials began to walk around the hall, frequently looking at the confessions placed on the empty tables.

Some people watched it and felt their hearts pounding.

Someone sensed that something big was going to happen.

Someone was gloating and laughing.

After reading it, some people hid back to the train with a heavy heart.

Yang Qi continued to smile after the officials finished understanding: "You should have seen it." You have frequently persuaded me to open the imperial examination, but I did not agree, and now it seems that it is my fault.

If I had known that the imperial examination would be able to make a fortune, I should have opened the imperial examination as soon as possible, and maybe I could use it to relieve the pressure on the treasury. ”

The officials were not stupid, so they could naturally understand Yang Qiming's mocking words, they subconsciously lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Yang Qi got up slowly, his voice became a little heavier, and said: "You all keep saying that you want to be talented for the country, and all of you are more like a mirror of the ancients than Wei Zheng.

Feelings, you are so upright, so talented for the country.

In the long run, why should I worry that Dayan will not die! ”

"Ministers deserve death!"

"No, no, no, you don't deserve to die. Damn it, I'm blind, using a bunch of things like you. ”

Yang Qi finally lost the smile on his face, and he roared with a cold face: "The state official weapon, in your hands, has actually become a tool for collecting money. And so blatantly.

This is the purpose of you forcing me to reopen the imperial examination? ”

"The ministers are terrified...... Ministers deserve death for their crimes......"

The face of the hundred officials was smacked.

But no one dared to reply.

It wasn't until Yang Qi roared that someone slowly stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the imperial examination itself. The reason why this situation was caused by the imperial examination this time was purely because of Guo Shilang's greed.

The minister thought that His Majesty should depose Guo Shilang as an official, lose his family wealth, degrade him to a commoner, proclaim it to the world, set an example, and then reopen the imperial examination. ”

"Hehe~"

Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled mockingly, "The Great Hall of the National Dynasty has been made into a great ceremony for collecting wealth by the surname Guo, and you let me depose him as an official and degrade him to a commoner?" It's as simple as that? ”

The official raised his head and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, the resources to polish the pen have been there since ancient times, Guo Shilang is just a little greedy, and he is not guilty of death." Moreover, when the water is clear, there are no fish. His Majesty grasped this point so strongly, for fear that it would arouse Shilin's disgust, and in the end, the gains outweighed the losses. ”

"Hahaha...... Hahahaha......"

Yang Qi laughed loudly when he heard this, but the laughter was extraordinary.

"If the water is clear, there is no fish, and the feelings are returned to the people, so is there a mistake? It's the first time I've seen someone talk about corruption and bribery so purely. ”

The official embarrassedly squeezed out a smile and said, "The minister is just telling the truth." ”

Yang Qi laughed angrily at this idiot, "I have to have no eyes to show up in the court for a person like you to appear." ”

Yang Qi looked at the other officials and said with a hideous smile: "You also have the same idea as him?" ”

The other officials shook their heads, and subconsciously distanced themselves from the idiot.

Yang Qi sneered and instructed Peng Pai: "Pull this fool down to me, copy the words he wrote in large characters, hang them around his neck, escort him around the streets of Yanjing City, and then send him to the entrance of the vegetable market."

Kill now! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not wrong! Your Majesty! ”

“……”

In the midst of the official's frequent exclamations, he was pulled out of the Qianyuan Palace.

Although the other officials thought that guy was stupid and excessive, no one refuted what he said.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with his words.

In the previous Song Kingdom, it was even an iron law that no one could shake.

However.

He overlooked two things.

First, there is no way to talk about this kind of unspoken rule on the table. There are many unspoken rules, when you don't see the light, you are rampant, but when you see the light, you have to die.

Second, this is Dayan, not Da Song.

Dealt with this idiot.

Yang Qi looked at the hundred officials again, and those who had the idea of helping Guo Shilang intercede in their hearts immediately waved their flags and toners.

Guo Shilang did a bit excessive, of the hundreds of moves, less than 70 people were admitted by virtue of real materials, and the rest were all passed by bribery.

The amount exceeded seventy or eighty percent, and now Yang Qi opened the imperial examination fraud case in front of the court, and there is almost no way to live.

Looking at the reactions of the officials, Yang Qi still had a straight face, but his heart was happy.

Now, he can justifiably dispose of Guo Shilang's group, and no one will jump out to say anything against it.

Yan Guo will not cause any turmoil because of his disposal of Guo Shilang.

Yang Qi slowly sat on the dragon chair and said coldly: "Guo Shilang, as the chief examiner of this imperial examination, accepted bribes and disrupted the ceremony of the national dynasty, and his crime is unforgivable. His subordinate officials cooperated with him to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and offered and accepted bribes, which is an unforgivable crime. ”

"Zamahe Aoki?"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Chuanyu Lin Wei dispatched to arrest all these corrupt officials who gave and accepted bribes, and none of them could be spared."

"喏~"

"After catching people, they were all escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market and killed as a whole to set an example. His family property was confiscated. ”

“……”

After Zamahe Aoki received the order, he immediately went out of the Qianyuan Palace, led 5,000 people from Yulinwei, and set out together to arrest people.

Yang Qi took advantage of this imperial examination fraud case to slap the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty with hatred, and then when they covered their faces and felt pain, they quickly attacked and arrested people and killed people.

Coherent.

The first shot to extinguish the influence of Confucianism was officially fired.

With Yu Linwei attacking frequently.

One after another, officials involved in cases of fraud in the imperial examinations were arrested and brought to justice.

From top to bottom, no one was spared of those involved in the fraud case.

Wait until Yu Lin Wei captures all the people.

Yang Qi looked at the huge number of people, and he also gasped.

Shocking!

Terrifying!

From the officials, down to the servants' porters in the officials' homes, and even the servants in the small officials' homes, they are all involved.

As many as 1,687 people were involved.

Yang Qi looked at this huge number and sighed faintly in his heart.

The death of the Great Song Dynasty is not unjust, and the death of the Ming Dynasty is not unjust.

If there are moths like this, no matter how powerful the country is, it will corrupt you, and the country will not die.

Yang Qi wrote down this number with a red pen and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the study, reminding himself all the time.

He was even more determined to suppress Confucianism.
