When Yang Guang said Shan Pingren, Wang Shicheng fainted immediately, and I don't know if he was too timid or too high in acting.

Su You said to Yuwen, "Xu Guogong, this Shan Renren did not participate in the martial arts, but he was on the list, you don't know, right?" ”

Su You asked Yu Wenshu, but the first person with a hot face was Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Yu Wenshu also seemed to step on the air at this time, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, thinking of it, could it be that Shan Renren

Su You immediately turned to Yang Guang and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, Yuwenshu is corrupt and perverts the law, this candidate named Shan Pingren didn't take the exam at all, but Yuwenshu accepted 150,000 yuan from the other party, and then directly let him be included in the admission list." Majesty, this person is ironclad evidence. ”

Su You decided this matter, and the discussion of the officials present gradually became louder, some people were happy and some were worried.

Yuwen Shu immediately shouted to catch the thief, "Your Majesty, the old minister has never heard of any single hiring, and the old minister doesn't know this single hiring, Su You is slandering the minister, please make the decision for the minister!" ”

Yang Guang looked at Yuwenshu coldly, and sighed secretly in his heart, in order to establish his authority in this imperial examination, he could only use this Yuwenshu as a sacrifice, this act of abandoning the pawn to protect the car is the same as the former Han Dynasty Xiaowu Emperor Liu Che tearfully took down the cool official Zhang Tang.

Some people are destined to be sacrificed.

Yang Guang nodded, took a note from the fold that Su You handed over just now, handed it to the attendant beside him, and said, "Let Xu Guogong take a look!" ”

Yu Wenshu took the note from the waiter's hand, only glanced at it, and immediately collapsed to the ground; immediately knelt down, kowtowed again and again, "The old minister is guilty!" The old minister is guilty! This single appointment is indeed arranged by the old minister, and the minister is willing to accept the punishment of His Majesty! ”

Yuwen Shu was condescending, and just now he looked like a scoundrel to Su You, "What can you do to me", but now he became frightened, and suddenly made the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu almost see his eyeballs out, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, "What did Your Majesty show Yuwenshu?" ”

Everyone wanted to know what was written on the paper that Yu Wenshu was holding in his hand at this moment, but all his thoughts were in vain; Among them, there are also many smart officials who have realized that Su You and His Majesty are just acting, and it turns out that the focus of His Majesty is not to inquire about the Ministry of War, but to take down Yuwenshu.

What a perfect shot!

Looking at the civil and military officials whispering to each other, Yang Guang first coughed falsely, and then said expressionlessly, "Su You's impeachment is beyond doubt. Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what I should do with them. ”

Su You immediately bowed down and said, "Please severely punish those who cheat for personal gain, and give a fair explanation to the candidates who participate in the martial arts." ”

Subsequently, Nayan Yang Wensi, the official department Shangshu Niu Hong, the internal history waiter Pei Yun and others have made suggestions, and Yang Guang severely punished Yu Wenshu and Duan Wenzhen and others, only in this way can Lang Lang Qiankun be innocent, these hindsight also show that the tradition of beating water dogs is the mainstream in any era.

The suggestions of the civil and military officials ignited Yang Guang's anger, and he slapped the imperial case and shouted angrily, "Spread my will, immediately remove Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, from his post, and order the Dali Temple of the Imperial History of the Criminal Department to form three divisions to interrogate the case of cheating in martial arts, and I will not spare anyone who participates in the cheating of martial arts." ”

Duan Wenzhen "pounced" and fell to the ground, although he had a clear conscience about the favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination, but it was not good, and he still had to memorize the infamy of the corpse vegetarian meal.

Therefore, Duan Wenzhen is not begging for mercy at this moment, but extremely ashamed.

Yang Guang watched Duan Wenzhen fall to his knees, but turned to Yu Wenshu and sneered, "Xu Guogong, I really feel sorry for you, I really don't know how to trust you in the future." ”

After a few words of ridicule, Yu Wenshu's face turned pale, and he finally understood that this time he did not lose to Su You, but to Yang Guang.

"Spread my will and remove Yuwen Shu from the post of General Wuwei."

Yang Guang was a little distressed and issued the second dismissal order, and when he said this, he closed his eyes with difficulty.

This is also enough to show that Yang Guang won Yuwenshu this time, just like Zhuge Liang slashed Ma Jian with tears.

Yang Guang was secretly sad, and Yang Wensi came out of class again and asked, "Old minister, may I ask Your Majesty, how to arrange the announcement of the martial arts list today?" ”

Yang Guang replied categorically, "This martial arts exercise has been canceled, and none of the candidates in the exam will be recorded!" ”

As soon as Yang Guang said this, the hall was suddenly silent, and almost everyone had reservations about Yang Guang's decision.

First, it is because they feel that Yang Guang's one-size-fits-all behavior is a bit overkill, after all, it is only the B list that has problems in this martial arts exam, and now even the first list has suffered, is it a little unreasonable?

Moreover, many of the candidates who took the first-list exam were the sons and nephews of officials in this hall, and when their actual interests were involved, of course they would not agree with Yang Guang's opinion.

Niu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately asked tentatively, "The old minister thinks that if His Majesty hastily cancels this martial arts, wouldn't it be in vain for those first-class candidates and examiners who took the exam?" ”

Yang Guang waved his hand, "What Niu Aiqing said seems to have some truth, but the reality is not so, firstly, some candidates on the first list also participated in bribing Yuwenshu, which is well documented; Rather, I have also looked at the answers of these candidates on the art of war, and I am about to investigate the problems exposed by these answers! ”

"This" Niu Hong was refuted by Yang Guang, and he couldn't say half a sentence.

Yang Guang immediately stood up and said, "This has been decided in advance, you discuss to appease those candidates who are waiting for the release of the list, and tell them that this martial arts exercise has been cancelled, if they really want to serve the imperial court, I will arrange another martial arts examination in October this year." Su You, you come with me."

After Yang Guang said this, he retreated first, and Su You followed with joy.

The discussion in the hall gradually became louder, and at this time, Yang Wensi, Niu Hong and several other old ministers spoke, the purpose was to appease the candidates who were waiting for the release of the list.

As courtiers, they certainly have the consciousness to wipe their ass for the leader.

Yang Guang was in a hurry to go down today, also because winning Yuwenshu made him a little confused, and more importantly, he didn't know how to face those candidates who participated in the martial arts, in fact, he also thought about only canceling the B list, but this seemed to be contrary to the slogan of fair imperial examination he proposed.

In the final analysis, Yang Guang is still a person who pursues perfection in his bones.

After Yang Guang changed into his court clothes, he walked towards the Guanwen Palace, and at this time, Su You had already bowed to the side.

Yang Guang was not angry with Su You, let him find a seat to sit on, and then picked up the tea that the waiter had just poured and blew it, and then asked, "Hengbo, what do you think of what I did just now?" ”

Su You replied honestly, "Qi Zhanggong's construction just now seems to be relatively old and heavy, but His Majesty must have a reason for doing this." ”

Yang Guang listened to Su You's first two sentences, and his heart was still a little uncomfortable, and after listening to them all, he felt that Su You was a little slippery.

Yang Guang shook his head helplessly, and said to Su You again, "You first take a look at the answers handed in by these first-class candidates to see if you can see some problems." As he spoke, he picked up five or six scrolls casually and asked Wang Yi beside him to pass them to Su You.

Su You took the volume and quickly browsed it, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, because these volumes introduced the classic cases in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he wrote without exception.

For example, the empty city plan, the straw boat borrowing arrows, the hundred-mile company camp, and the burning of Chibi are really everything!

When did "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" become so popular among these candidates?

Yang Guang saw that Su You's face was cloudy and he finished flipping through the few scrolls in his hand, so he asked seriously, "Did Hengbo see something?" Are these candidates a little tired? ”

"This Weichen didn't see if these volumes were plagiarized, but he knew that their answers seemed to have some connection with a certain book." After Su You listened to Lu Sheng's words that day, he was a little trembling about his book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

First, the imperial court did not allow history to be revised, and secondly, it was faceless for officials in the court and China to write novels, so he only had economic value in writing this book; In fact, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still spiritual food, and it did not provide a lot of answers for this martial arts.

"Yokobo has also read this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" Yang Guang immediately asked with great interest, he didn't know this book before this martial arts, but after reading these test papers, several attendants around him launched a secret visit.

What is depressing is that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is just a pirated book in the Eastern Capital, although it is worth a lot of money, it is still sold separately in the end, so Yang Guang did not collect the whole book in a short time.

Yang Guangda turned a few pages, and he also felt that it was a little interesting, and he felt that this book was inconsistent with the official history, so he didn't read it because of this.

Su You was like a skewer on a charcoal grill at this time, and he was really uncomfortable, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "This book is serialized in Yangzhou newspapers, and there are many wisdom and tricks written in the book, which is very interesting. ”

"Yes! Does Hengbo feel that this classic case is stored in reality? Yang Guang nodded and asked with a smile.

"Art comes from life higher than life, so Weichen feels that these candidates cite examples in the book, but it is not without purpose." Su You didn't understand why Yang Guang talked about this book with him, but he still let the topic go back to the source.

Yang Guang immediately dug a pit, "Hengbo means that after reading this book, you will fight?" ”

Su You said with certainty, "Not necessarily, but it should be okay to talk on paper." ”

Yang Guang nodded, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally said to Su You with some embarrassment, "I promised you before, saying that after you come back from the south, I will give you at least one county of land, and let you guard one side for me."

How could Su You not remember Yang Guang's words that day? It's just that his current heart has already changed.

Not only because he was suddenly recalled after he built Yangzhou, but also because of what Yang Suyan said in the garden a few days ago.

Yang Guang continued, "A few days ago, I received news from the Nanzhao region, there was some turmoil there, and I really don't know who to send to pacify it."

"This" Su You immediately frowned.

The Nanzhao region is Yunnan, and Yunnan probably doesn't use iron tools now, right?

Is this going to exile me?
