Chapter 49: Retake

"The emperor is angry......"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, this time, not only the ordinary ministers and the candidates and ordinary eunuchs below, but even the first assistant Ye Xianggao, Wei Zhongxian, and Wang Tiqian hurriedly knelt down.

Zhu Youxiao raised his head, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his anger. After all, he is a person who misses his old feelings, and he knows that if this matter is further investigated, many of those who supported him to power will be defeated because of this matter, and even lose their lives. He knew who helped him and supported him to sit on the throne, but he didn't know the conspiracy behind these people.

Forget it, forget it this time. I hope you don't touch my bottom line again.

Zhu Youxiao was still soft-hearted after all, he restrained his anger, but his tone was still not good, and said: "All these people will be removed from their reputations, and the current section will be invalidated, and the chief examiner Sun Shenxing and the examiner will all be dismissed and return to their hometowns, and they will never be hired." As for the deputy examiner, you ...... Ask for yourself. ”

"Your Majesty Xie......", "The Emperor Shengming......", "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... "...... Everyone understands that this is already the lightest punishment given by the emperor. Although the deputy examiner Heimer and several examiners were very wronged, whoever told you not to find out that the crime of negligence was enough to make you go home. Zhu You's proofreading of Haimo was still benevolent and righteous, so he invited himself.

When the hall was quiet, Carpenter Zhu said again: "The cabinet has drafted a decree, and this section will be invalidated for the trial, and the examination will be re-examined next month." What about the big exam this time......" Zhu Youxiao said this, paused, and glanced down.

The hearts of the several cabinet ministers kneeling below are now hanging, and they don't know who they can choose this time. Being the big examiner, that's a great thing, a list, not to mention protégés all over the world, but it's also a big force. In the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between teachers and students was very important, and generally speaking, the protégé treated the teacher as if he were a father, basically what the teacher said, the student did.

Zhu Youxiao took a look, and finally looked at Yue Su, and said: "Yue Su will be the chief examiner of this subject, and the candidate for the deputy chief examiner will be voted by the cabinet." ”

Yue Su!

As soon as he heard Yue Su's name, the entire Jianji Hall shook.

"Yue Su, Yue Su...... How is the name so familiar. Pei Yingjie, who was pulled aside and kneeling, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this name. Although he had forgotten Yue Su's appearance, he had always kept this name he hated in his heart. "He is Yue Su? Is he the Yue Su who robbed me of Xie Yuan in the first place? No, I heard that he was not in Guangxi as a magistrate, and later went to Guizhou, when did he go to Yanjing again. It's only been a few years, how can it rise so fast, look at the complement, it's already the third grade. Impossible, impossible...... But the two of them look ......"

Yuesu's spread among the people was extremely loud, especially in Guangxi, Huguang, and Guizhou. Pei Yingjie's home is in Huguang, so I heard about it. But this guy also cheated first, and he felt guilty, although he hated it, he was also afraid that he would be involved, so he kept it to himself. But later, he also went to Yue Su's hometown to inquire and determined that this extremely famous Yue Su was Yue Su who made himself a Kaizi in the first place. Fortunately, I took the next township test and copied Xie Yuan, so I put this mind down temporarily.

Pei Yingjie pondered on the side, puzzled. And the cabinet members were also shocked, and the second assistant Han Yi was the first to say: "Your Majesty, the minister does not approve." The main examination of the examination has always been held by the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and even if Lord Sun is dismissed from his post now, he should be selected from among the scholars, and it will not be his turn Yue Su. I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

"Yes, what Lord Han said is reasonable, and the minister also opposes it. Yue Su is just the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, how can he be the chief examiner, the country is not without people, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. Shi Jikai said.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yan, a member of the Cabinet University, also echoed: "The minister is also opposed, Yue Su is just a person, let him be promoted to the Sanpin Shuntian Mansion, it is already Your Majesty's grace, and he is exceptionally promoted, how can he be qualified for the position of the chief examiner, and please ask Your Majesty to withdraw his fate." ”

"Origin?" As soon as he heard this, Pei Yingjie was shocked again, that Yue Su was also from a human background, could it be said that he was really a person?

He knelt on the ground and pondered alone, and Zhu Youxiao above was angry again, slapped the dragon book case, and shouted: "Don't say it, shut up for me!" What's wrong with Shuntianfu Yin, what's wrong with the background of the people, Sun Shenxing is from a first-class Jishi, or a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, this time he will take the main exam, is he worthy of my cultivation? Wei Zhongxian, for you, who is better to fill the position? ”

Wei Zhongxian has always followed the emperor, and even he doesn't want Yue Su to be the main exam, but the emperor said so, he can't go against his old man's wishes. At that time, I was really confused. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian did not want to see this position as the chief examiner fall into the hands of the Donglin Party again. Hate can only hate, none of the henchmen under his command are decent now.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid also thinks that it is most appropriate for Lord Yue to fill the position, in Yanjing City, who does not know Lord Yue's righteous name now. Presumably, the world's scholars will not object. Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

"What kind of scholars in the world will not object, it's just nonsense, you ask the scholars present now, let a person who agrees to raise his reputation do the big exam, who will be convinced!" There are still many people and great power, and this time it is He Zongyan, a cabinet scholar, who is speaking.

Wei Zhongxian just followed the emperor's words, and was pushed back by He Zongyan, and he didn't say much. And those candidates kneeling in front of the examination table are naturally every one who dares to show their heads and say that they are not convinced. This kind of thing is not something they are qualified to participate in.

Seeing that these scholars were so arrogant and bluntly contradicted, Zhu Youxiao's lungs were about to explode. Yue Su below saw that the emperor's face was wrong, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is not worthy of this big exam, and he also asks His Majesty to listen to the advice of several cabinet elders and choose another meritocracy." ”

"Another meritocracy...... Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth, and said secretly in his heart: "I still have a few virtuous people in the Ming Dynasty, and they quarrel in the court one day, have you done anything serious?" Only Yue Aiqing thinks about me, and the duke is selfless. ”

He pondered for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Since your cabinet does not receive my will, then the will of the previous one will be nullified together." Sun Shenxing, Haimo and other test examiners, together with the candidates involved in the case, were all handed over to the East Factory for investigation! ”

Angry! Zhu Youxiao was really angry this time! He couldn't hold back any longer!

Don't look at Carpenter Zhu in front of the ministers, he often shows his weak side, but he knows better than anyone else, and he understands better than anyone else, he is a particularly smart emperor. The party is fighting for the country, and every faction quarrels, his surname is weak and difficult to control, so he finally devotes all his energy to the carpenter's business, which can be regarded as an escape. Although Wei Zhongxian later killed many ministers, he was able to sit idly by, not because he didn't know, but he just pretended to be confused. Because the Donglin Party touched his bottom line.

Is this country still not mine? I give you face, you don't have shame, you always talk to me about things, then I talk to you about things.

Carpenter Zhu's rare bravery really shocked everyone present. Wei Zhongxian's heart was simply happy. "Give people to me, Your Majesty, you should have done this a long time ago, see how I brew them." Thinking so in his heart, Grandpa Wei's face couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, now everyone is kneeling on the ground, and no one can see it.

Ye Xianggao's heart trembled, his fists clenched tightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's not good, it seems that you can't resist the emperor this time, Sun Shenxing's matter is conclusive, if you don't buy his account, Sun Shenxing will definitely die, and it will involve a lot of people." ...... don't hesitate."

In order to keep Sun Shenxing and the Donglin Party from suffering losses, Ye Xianggao decided to give in and complete the deal with the emperor. However, this feud has been deeply remembered by Yue Su.

"Your Majesty ......" At this time, Ye Xianggao straightened his waist and said: "The cabinet does not disagree with His Majesty's will, but Lord Han and Master Shi feel that Lord Yue is a little unsuitable, and they are afraid that he will not be competent. But the minister thinks that Lord Yue is still worthy of trust, Lord Yue's clear name has already spread all over the capital, upright, iron-faced and selfless, if he is the main examiner, it is the best, it is the blessing of the court, the blessing of the scholar. ”

Shameless, naked shameless. Under pressure, the Donglin Party finally relented. Ye Xianggao's statement, the other ministers also understood his intentions, and immediately put away the arrogance just now, and echoed, "What Ye Shoufu said is reasonable, and the ministers are short-sighted, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." We are waiting for the order. ”

"Damn, I thought I was shameless enough, I didn't expect you readers to be more shameless than me." Wei Zhongxian was happy for less than a minute, and was immediately defeated by the shamelessness of the Donglin Party, I really couldn't imagine that these Donglin Party, who have always regarded themselves as high and righteous, would also see the wind and rudder and make a deal with the emperor.

Regarding the sudden change of attitude of the cabinet, Carpenter Zhu was still a little unexpected, and he really couldn't imagine that his momentary anger would make these old rivers and lakes bow their heads. But he immediately reacted, it turns out that you have been caught by me in the weakness, and you will play a trick for me. Well, that's what I wanted.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhu Youxiao's face finally showed a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then the cabinet will draw up the decree." I'm tired of it...... Yue Aiqing, with the ...... of the Palace of Cultivating the Heart"

"Long live the send-off." After ......************************************************* Yuesu accompanied the emperor away, everyone in the Jianji Hall also began to be busy, those who should go, those who should be put into the prison were put into the prison, and those who should go back to the draft decree went back to draft the decree.

Wang Chuanxiao and Pei Yingjie were escorted to the Jinyi Guard Yamen and imprisoned in Zhao Prison. However, the treatment of these two benevolent brothers is really different, Wang Chuanxiao was treated as a guest, after all, he was the minions of Gonggong Wei, and he also helped Hou Guoxing speak in the Golden Palace.

In contrast, Pei Yingjie is much miserable, as soon as he was escorted into the door, he was tied to a pillar, this is the current rule, whoever comes in, regardless of whether you are guilty or not, let you taste the punishment inside.

Wang Chuanxiao hates this unlucky Pei Yingjie the most now, if he didn't have this dragger, how could he have fallen to where he is today. He resolutely gave up the high-end cell, ran to the torture room, looked at Pei Yingjie who was tied to the pillar, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

The host, Hou Guoxing, was by his side, with a smile on his face, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, just now the Governor sent someone to send a message, saying that you should be here for a while, and he has his own arrangements." You can be grieved for a few days. ”

Wang Chuanxiao said indignantly: "It's okay. As he spoke, he pointed to Pei Yingjie, "It's just that this bastard has hurt me so badly, even worse than that Yue Su." ”

"Yue Su, that bastard, I can't fucking wait to eat his flesh and tear down his bones, but the emperor is covered, and we can't catch his handle, so let him be arrogant for a while. But this kid in front of us, we can still concoct it. Come on, bring a whip to Lord Wang, and let him dissipate his anger. Hou Guoxing said coldly.

Soon, a brocade guard took a leather whip dipped in water and presented it to Wang Chuanxiao. After Wang Chuanxiao took it, he showed a cruel smile and walked slowly to Pei Yingjie. scolded: "Bastard, you hurt Lao Tzu so hard, look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up now." With that, he raised the leather whip in his hand.

As soon as Pei Yingjie saw that he was going to make a move, his face turned blue with fright. hurriedly shouted: "Adults spare their lives, villains, villains have the handle of Yue Su......"
