Since leaving the Gaolishi Mansion last night, Li Qing has been staying at his home to play the role of the case, and he is just a bystander in public, so Li Longji did not inform him to go to Xingqing Palace, but he has been paying attention to the progress of the case all the time.

At dawn, Li Qing sat in the study and quietly listened to Wu Xingsu's report, Wu Xingsu's intelligence agency was still being formed, but Li Qing ordered him to pay attention to the movement of the Shi Chao at all times.

"Governor, Li Linfu sent blankets and dry food to Shishou at the second watch, almost all of them were grateful to Dade, and they spread their kindness to Shilin overnight, and countless people submitted letters on the spot, willing to be a protégé of Xiangguo."

Li Qing nodded, of course he knew Li Linfu's intentions, first he wanted to use him to deal with Yang Guozhong, and then he saw that the Shi's leakage could be used, so he changed his strategy and used Jia Shi's grace, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, he also had to admire Li Linfu's old and skillful wrist, all the timing was just right, as if everything was going with the flow, and his premeditated plan was sorted out without showing any traces.

Li Qing walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, the imperial examination case seemed simple, but it was actually a rearrangement of the power of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu also saw that Li Longji wanted to replace him with Yang Guozhong, so he took the lead and inserted Zhao Yue into Yang Guozhong's side, and Li used the imperial examination case to suppress him, and at the same time he also wanted to take action against Yang Shenjin who betrayed him and recapture the officials.

With the help of Colliers. Yang Shenjin can be saved, but Yang Guozhong is not a stupid person, let Li Linfu slaughter, his biggest advantage is that he has Yang Guifei's support, it is impossible for him not to ask for help; Secondly, he is the person chosen by Li Longji, and it is indispensable to take off a layer of skin, and it is not ruled out that Li Longji will retreat as advance. Bao Yang Guozhong passed this hurdle.

The key is, what can he, Li Qing, get in this power shock? Bao Yang Shenjin is nothing, he can only say that he can't lose, but if he wants to snatch some food from Li Linfu's mouth, he has to use some extraordinary means.

Li Qing pushed open the window, the breeze blew in his face, and a large piece of sunlight shone in. He has been looking for Li Linfu's life, why can't he use this opportunity to test it first? Thinking of this, the corners of Li Qing's mouth showed a slight sneer, the heart of the recruiter is a double-edged sword! He beckoned to Wu Xingsu and whispered in his ear, "You take a few brothers to the Suzaku Gate.

After Wu Xingsu left, Li Qing wrote another letter and ordered someone to quickly hand it over to Xian Yu Shuming, who was patrolling the Vermilion Bird Gate.

.

Under the Suzaku Gate, tens of thousands of scholars held their heads high, their expressions were all serious, and they listened to the holy decree of the Tang Emperor on the city tower. The breeze intermittently brought the high-pitched voice of the proclaimed eunuch to the ears of the scholars:

Once verified. will be severely punished.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers like the sky was cracking. After a day and a night of suffering, the haggard taxis finally ushered in the harvest moment, at this time they hugged each other, wept with joy, and the joyful smiles completely submerged the entire Suzaku Gate, and even the soldiers were infected by it, and shouted three long live.

At the moment when the soldiers were celebrating their victory, in an alley near the Suzaku Gate. Wu Xingsu, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, hurriedly ran in the direction of the Suzaku Gate with a few subordinates who were also wearing military uniforms.

All the crossings leading to Suzaku Gate have been blocked by officers and soldiers. In order to prevent new taxis from joining again, but how can this little thing be more difficult than Wu Xingsu.

"Follow me!" Wu Xingsu beckoned, led a few of his subordinates into another alley, and walked into a family at the end, without courtyard walls, and the mottled wooden door and the thick gaps on the door showed the poverty of this family.

"Break in!" As soon as Wu Xingsu's voice fell, he kicked open the wooden door, the light in the room was dim, there was only an old woman and a young woman, the young woman was still holding a child, there was no man, the two women saw a few strong men breaking in, they were so frightened that they huddled together, their eyes were terrified.

"Don't be afraid, we're just borrowing the word."

Wu Xingsu was a gangster in Chang'an when he was young, and he was on duty in the Yulin Army for a long time, and he knew the terrain around the Suzaku Gate well, pushed open the heavy wooden window, and the noise came to his face.

.

Nearly noon, the taxis who had been promised by Li Longji finally began to leave the Suzaku Gate one after another, about an hour later, the once crowded and lively Suzaku Gate was empty, and it became extremely silent, the ground was full of garbage and paper, fluttering lightly in the wind, Jingzhao Shaoyin Xian Yu Shuming was accompanying Yang Guozhong, who had just arrived to inspect the square, Xian Yu Shuming was Xian Yu Zhongtong's younger brother, who was also serving under Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and was a hardcore Zhang Qiu party.

Xian Yu Shuming didn't sleep all night, his purple face revealed a trace of paleness, and he smiled forcefully: "If Lord Yang is tired, it is better to go back and rest, there are subordinates here to deal with the aftermath." ”

Yang Guozhong was just called by Xian Yu Shuming, telling him that Li Linfu had returned to the house to rest, and the scholars began to retreat, as Jing Zhaoyin, if he never asked during this period, it would be difficult to explain once he was impeached by the imperial history, so he took advantage of this gap to come over and take a look, blocking the truth of others.

He sighed and said, "Xian Yu Shaoyin is hard, it's better for you to go back and rest, and I'll take care of the aftermath." Xian Yu Zhongtong is the benefactor who promoted him, so Yang Guozhong was also quite polite to his brother Xian Yu Shuming.

"It's dirty here, why don't we go to the city tower and have a look." Xian Yu Shuming said, but his eyes kept glancing towards the square, only to see two subordinates hurrying over with two stacks of picked up papers in their hands, he was overjoyed, "Li Qing is really well prepared!" ’

"Lord Yang, Lord Xianyu, this is a subordinate found in the square, dare not hide it, I am here to report!"

"What is this?" Yang Guozhong grabbed the paper casually, and suddenly, he was stunned, his eyes gradually glowed, and his listless decadence was swept away, and he asked in surprise: "Where did you find this, take me to see it!" ”

Xian Yu Shuming's heart is about to come out of his throat, what is it written? Yang Guozhong was so overjoyed, he stretched his neck to look, and he was stunned, only to see that the paper was full of 'Li Xiangguo, Chitose!' ’

The handwriting is crooked and slanted, full of strength, each one is different, it seems to be written by some scholars at night when their hearts are surging, Xian Yu Shuming gasped, the emperor is called long live, and Li Linfu is called a thousand years old

Once the emperor knows about the consequences.

Uncle Xian Yu sighed secretly, Li Qing's wrist was too dark and vicious, and he remembered that when he first met Li Qing in the old mansion, it seems that his nephew Zhang Qiu's reputation must be fake.

At this time, Yang Guozhong turned his head and stared at him tightly and said, "Lord Xianyu, this is not made up by me, if necessary, you can testify to me." ”

Xian Yu Shuming smiled bitterly and nodded in response: "If this is the case, what is Lord Yang to worry about?" ”

"That's good! I still have to take a step in advance, and this place is called for Lord Xianyu. Yang Guozhong hurried away with a stack of papers in his hand.

.

With the silence of Suzaku Gate, Pingkang Fang was once again lively, and the victorious taxis crowded almost all the liquor stores, the cups and plates were staggered, the wine was suffocating, and the eyes and laughter were full of joy, both to celebrate the victory and to reward themselves for the hard work of the night.

In the northwest of Pingkangfang, in the old mansion of the former Li Linfu, there were two or three hundred men and women kneeling on the ground in the lobby, including the old bustard and prostitutes in the Yixin Building, the shopkeeper and the men of the dining hall, and the angry shouts of the cool officials and the howls like killing pigs came from time to time in the side room, and some timid people in the lobby, especially those poor prostitutes, were paralyzed on the ground, almost fainting with fright, where did they know the source of the test questions.

In the partial room, the king of the imperial history: |+. The upper and lower bodies were each sandwiched between two large wooden sticks, and as the two pairs of wooden sticks moved away, Da Xixun's waist and feet were stretched two feet, and the bones were 'quack! Ga! 'Straight sound, Da Xi Xun'! The ground screamed, and immediately fainted in pain.

A small official stepped forward and touched his back, "My lord, his bones seem to be broken." ”

"Wake him up!" King:.

A bucket of cold water was splashed on his head, Da Xixun gradually woke up, the severe pain made him feel that his body was not his own, seeing that the big stick clamped his chest again, Da Xixun sighed, "That's it." Sooner or later, it's better to die, the surname is Wang Di, you can write it! I'll draw it. ”

"That's right!"

Wang: +.It has nothing to do with the servant of the ministry, it must be that the waiter of Daxi has misremembered. ”

He took out a prepared confession, handed it to the warden, and commanded, "Give it to him, let him draw a charge!" ”

Da Xixun picked up the pen and signed it tremblingly. But his hands no longer obeyed, and he could not touch the place for half a day. Impatient, the warden grabbed his fingers. After dipping it in the ink, he pressed the mud directly.

"My lord, this is the confession in the lobby, selling the exam papers for Yang Guozhong, and everyone is drawing and identifying." A servant entered from the outside and handed the king a thick stack of handprints.

Wang: That's it. The human and physical evidence is complete, and who will have such high efficiency.

.

Early the next morning. Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Hall is the second hall of Daming Palace, second only to Hanyuan Palace, generally is the place to meet foreign envoys and Jinshi to discuss the situation, at this moment, the empty hall is sparsely placed with more than 200 tables, the new science and technology scholars are foreshadowing the book, re-conduct the second examination, the question of the exam is very simple, only one topic of strategy, the time is four hours, and now it is less than a quarter of an hour.

The chief examiner, Zhang Yun, the head examiner, walked back and forth in the examination room with his hands behind his back, he kept shaking his head secretly, now it seems that this year's imperial examination is obviously cheating, and it is about to end, nearly half of the candidates have written less than 10,000 words, and Zhang Yizhi, the imperial historian, has not written a word, a blank paper, and the pen is almost bitten by him, he is the eighth place in the first list.

There is still a vacant seat in front, which is the position of Yang Xuan, who is the fourth place in the first list, saying that he was suddenly seriously ill and missed the exam, and he didn't even have the courage to come to the exam.

Zhang Yun sneered and said to himself: "Da Xi Xun and Miao Jinqing, you two are really unforgivable!" ”

'When! While! As the bell rang and the exam was officially over, the officials stepped forward to order the candidates to stop writing and confirm their names and student status written on the papers, and then took the papers away.

The examinees' expressions were either heavy or ashamed, and they all quietly left without saying a word, and a few examinees walked to the door of the hall and cried bitterly, covering their faces and running away.

Zhang Yun sat on the side of the hall with a gloomy face, reading today's answer sheet one by one, the title is "Ten Sparse Laws of Salt and Iron", that is, ten suggestions for the new salt and iron laws promulgated today, and elaborate in detail, the answers are varied, and there are even bad candidates who don't know about the salt tax reform at all, and take it for granted to plagiarize "Salt and Iron Theory".

"How can such a person be a jinshi?" With a heavy beat, most of the candidates here are the next choice in terms of pen, chapter structure, or thought, but they can stand out from tens of thousands of people, what is this not cheating? He couldn't stand it anymore, so he took all the test papers one by one, got up and said angrily: "Lead the way ahead and go to Xingqing Palace!" ”

.

Li Longji didn't come to the imperial study until nearly noon today, yesterday he got the news, the scholars in front of the Suzaku Gate have been dispersed, and his heart that was hanging in the air has finally been put down, he doesn't care too much about the cheating of the imperial examination case itself at the moment, since Gao Lishi offered Yang Shenjin's recital, there are actually dozens of new science and technology scholars who openly prostitute themselves near his hot spring palace, which really makes people feel like swallowing a fly, and feels disgusting, even if they have real talent and learning, he Li Longji will never use such a person.

On the other hand, Li Longji also knew that this imperial examination was nominally an unfair examination, but in fact it was an excuse for Li Linfu to clean up Yang Guozhong's land, and he was becoming more and more passive.

This is the most headache for Li Longji, Yang Guozhong represents the interests of the Yang family, and is the first person he will use to deal with and replace Li Linfu in the future, and Yang Yuhuan had already interceded with him last night, so he didn't want to really do anything to Yang Guozhong, at most he just punished him.

At this time, Gao Lishi whispered at the door: "Your Majesty, Yang Guozhong is already waiting outside the gate, and he said that there is something important to report to His Majesty." ”

'Something big? ’

Li Longji was slightly stunned by this big word, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "Announce him to the palace!" ”
