Chapter 22: Falling Flowers and Birds Chaos Fourteen

To some extent, Ziting's retest is more like a ruling, a legal ruling. The result of the verdict is obvious: the fraud charge is convicted, the evidence is conclusive, and the examiner Qian Hui is in danger!

It seems that Qian Hui, who is in the center of the whirlpool, has become a lamb, a lamb to the slaughter. However, rabbits will bite when they are anxious, and dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious, so what will happen if Qian Hui is in a hurry?

Rest assured, Qian Hui is not in a hurry, not at all. On the contrary, he is calm, and his calmness is suffocating. In fact, Qian Hui still has cards in his hand, trump cards, and killing cards that are broken by the fish. The so-called "trump card" in Qian Hui's hand is actually two letters, two letters of entrustment. The owner of the two letters of entrustment, one is Duan Wenchang, and the other is Li Shen.

However, Qian Hui is still calm, and his calmness is maddening. To everyone's surprise, he had no intention of playing these two trump cards, not for the time being, but all the time. Although, Li Zongmin and Yang Rushi ran to Qian Hui every once in a while, and spared no effort to encourage him to make the two letters public and drag the plaintiff into the water. However, no matter how impassioned they were, how clever they were, Qian Hui just refused, because he understood a truth, a very simple truth, "impulse is the devil".

Qian Hui, who refused to be impulsive, calmly analyzed the current situation and came to a clear conclusion: the other party plans and then acts, there must be a backhand, even if he pokes out the two letters of entrustment, it may not be able to cause any substantial harm to Duan Wenchang, Li Shen and others, but may cause the other party to retaliate even more frantically. Therefore, Qian Hui, who calmed down, decided to destroy the corpse, oh no, it was to destroy the letter and destroy the trace. He hoped that he could exchange this for the other party's forgiveness.

When the jumping flame turned the trump card into ashes, Qian Hui got the expected ending: he was expelled from Chang'an and demoted to the Jiangzhou Assassin History. This is not a severe punishment for scientific research fraud, far from it. What's more, not long after the debasement, he moved to Huazhou, and his career was on the right track again.

In the following decades, Chang'an's political scene was turbulent and changing, but Qian Hui spent the rest of his life in the sea without danger. I can't help but say that Qian Hui is a wise person, very wise, because he knows how to withdraw in time.

The several powerful people involved in the case have different endings, and the intriguing ones are different:

Pei Zhi's Jinshi was recovered, and Pei Du was not punished in any way. In addition to the damage to their reputations, the Pei family and his son have not lost much, not much at all. Of course, this is not a fluke, but strength, not Pei Wei's strength, but the strength of his father, and even the strength of the emperor has to make concessions.

Zheng Lang, who came from a family of Shandong scholars, did not have the good luck of Pei Wei, and he was deposed. However, Zheng Qin, who participated in cheating, was not punished in any way, and still served as his counselor. If it is said that Pei Du escaped punishment, what he saw was strength, and Zheng Qin relied on another thing, this kind of thing cannot be seen or touched, but it is very effective, its name is relationship, the relationship between Zheng Qin and Hanlin Sanjun.

As a competitor of Yuan Zhen, Li Zongmin, a member of the Zhongshu Society, was unceremoniously kicked out of Chang'an, and of course, his son-in-law Su Chao also lost the Jinshi he once held in his hand. Like Qian Hui, Li Zongmin's official position was also a stabbing history; Unlike Qian Hui, his derogatory place was Jianzhou, a distant and remote place.

Speaking of which, Li Zongmin is really pitiful, very, very pitiful. Because, in the same river, he fell twice, big heel. In the third year of Yuanhe's policy discussion, the high-spirited Li Zongmin attacked the powerful people of the dynasty in the strategy, and was ruthlessly deprived of the title of Jinshi, who had not yet covered the heat, and had to leave the capital in disgrace. Since then, more than ten years of ups and downs have smoothed his edges and corners, and at the same time, it has also corroded his soul. The young and vigorous young jinshi back then has now transformed into an officialdom fritter that follows the square.

Li Zongmin, who lost his soul, betrayed his self-esteem and took the line of eunuchs, and in exchange for official positions and qualifications, and began to secretly covet the high position of prime minister. However, unfortunately, because sweet dreams always wake up so easily, he fell into the abyss again, and because of the imperial examination. Last time, it was he Li Zongmin who was deprived of Jinshi; This time, the same fate fell on his coquettish Su Chao. However, this time it was even worse, because of such a trouble, Li Zongmin not only lost the upcoming prime minister, but also lost the high position of the Zhongshu people who were already in his hands, and also lost the qualification to continue to stay in Chang'an.

In the first year of Changqing, Li Zongmin lost, and only a pair of pants remained. It seems that for Li Zongmin, the prime minister seems to be a dream, a dream that is out of reach. However, Xiao Li, don't be discouraged, and don't be discouraged, because, after the wind and rain, you will always see a rainbow.
