Chapter Forty-Six: The Party Fights Differences
Dealing with a Ministry of Rites, the emperor went to ask a Shuntian Mansion Yin, this matter is unimaginable. But now the whole court knows that Yue Su is the emperor's favorite minister, and he has to accompany the emperor to eat with him at noon every day, what kind of treatment is that, I am afraid that your cabinet chief assistant does not have this honor.
As soon as the emperor said this, all the ministers turned their heads to look at Yue Su together, waiting for his speech. Everyone understands that Yue Su's words are very important, and they have already affected the future of Dasun Shenxing.
I saw Yue Su bow down and said, "Your Majesty, whether this matter is related to Lord Sun, Weichen doesn't dare to assert it, but Pei Yingjie bribed the examiner and exchanged the exam papers privately. The minister believes that Pei Yingjie should be interrogated first, and then go down the vine to find out the examiner who took bribes. ”
"What Lord Yue said is reasonable." "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should act according to Lord Yue's words, and interrogate Pei Yingjie strictly first." …… Seeing that Yue Su was on the matter and did not deliberately embarrass Sun Shenxing, all the cabinet members unanimously echoed it.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "What Yue Aiqing said is reasonable, in this way, this person will be handed over to you for trial." ”
"Obey." Yue Su agreed, walked up to Pei Yingjie, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Pei Yingjie, you are now charged with two crimes, one is to try to bribe the examiner privately and change the test papers, which is the crime of bullying the king; The second is to privately collude with the Dragon Slaying Gang and accept the re-examination questions, which is the crime of conspiracy and rebellion. These two sins, no matter which one they are, are enough for you to cut off all your doors, what else do you have to say? ”
"My lord, the student didn't bribe the examiner in private, let alone collude with the Dragon Slaying Gang, I hope the adult will be aware of it."
These two charges were deducted, Pei Yingjie was so frightened that he almost stopped crying, what kind of world is this, I didn't take the cheat sheet to the examination room privately, and I got a huiyuan, but I didn't bribe the examiner, and even if I cheated, it was a bit far-fetched, the answers and exam questions on the cheat sheet were not right, and I wondered how I got in. Fornication with traitors, where to start, didn't I just go to the Jade Pavilion to get a re-examination question, and people also gave me a sign where I could eat and drink in the Jade Pavilion? It's all the same.
Pei Yingjie is innocent, except for kowtowing and crying, he doesn't know what to do.
"You said that you didn't bribe the examiner, so how could someone help you drop the exam papers for no reason and help you get into the Huiyuan. If you can't tell you anything about this, don't blame the government for being unkind to you, and I'm going to torture you! Yue Su said loudly and threateningly.
"The student really didn't bribe the examiner, but just brought a cheat sheet into the exam room, only to find that the exam questions and the answers I had prepared in advance were completely different things. The student thought that he didn't have any real talent to learn, and he couldn't answer, so he had no choice but to copy the cheat sheet he brought, and he didn't think that he could win, who knows, he inexplicably won the Huiyuan. Pei Yingjie didn't dare to hide cheating, compared with bribing examiners and changing exam papers privately, this is quite light. Then he said: "After the student was in the middle school, a Taoist priest came to me in the afternoon of the Huguang Guild Hall, saying that my fame and wealth were all in the Jade Pavilion, I didn't believe it at the time, but what he said was clear-eyed, and finally I went with the idea of giving it a try." There, I met a eunuch, who gave me two questions, saying that the questions for the re-examination came from above, and gave me an iron sign, saying that with this sign, I could eat and drink in the Emerald Pavilion. What he said seemed to be like that, but before I could go there for a meal, the Jade Pavilion was confiscated, and the exam questions were even more wrong, and the exam questions were completely different from the exam questions in today's retest. In the end, Pei Yingjie felt very wronged.
Pei Yingjie said it was true, Yue Su could hear that he was not lying, but Yue Su would never believe that any examiner would be full of food and support, and would help him change the exam papers secretly if the money was confiscated. After thinking about it for a while, Yue Su suddenly remembered the oolong incident he encountered when he participated in the township test. It's not good that Pei Yingjie is the same as himself, catching up with such a show, after the examiner collected the money, he changed the wrong paper, but his luck was too bad, and he missed the bottom during the retest. At the moment, I had to say: "Now cheating in the examination room, bribing the examiner, changing the exam papers privately, stealing the huiyuan, and deceiving the monarch have become a fact." Your words alone are not convincing. If you want to avoid the punishment of Miki, you will get the exam questions, who will answer them, how to write in the examination room, how many times will you try, and whether anything unusual has happened in the examination room, all of them will be truthfully recruited by the government! ”
"The student came to the capital a month before the exam, and there was a day of drinking in the champion building, and I heard Xiao Er say that there was a Zhang Tianshi on Yuping Street, and he calculated the exam questions. The student knew that he had no real talent to learn, so he went to him to try his luck and spent fifty taels of silver to ask for an exam question. I wanted to find someone to help answer in the city, but there were famous people in Yanjing City, most of them signed up for the exam, and they couldn't find the right person for a while, so they went to find some showmen to help, and they were afraid that their knowledge was limited, so they had no choice but to go to the neighboring prefectures. I found a person who opened the museum in Changping, spent a lot of money to ask him to write this answer sheet, and then traveled all the way back to the capital, not wanting to miss the time and enter the examination room......"
Pei Yingjie admitted to cheating in the exam, not to mention that he was late, so he said it by the way. But as soon as he said this, the whole hall was shocked, especially Wang Chuanxiao, who led him in, his face turned green.
This time, without waiting for Yue Su to ask, Ye Xianggao asked loudly: "The Gongyuan is not allowed to enter the door after the hour, who let you in?" ”
Ye Xianggao's voice was very loud, which startled Pei Yingjie, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes...... I saw that person just now...... "Wang Chuanxiao led him in, of course he remembered, although Wang Chuanxiao had instructed him not to leak it, but now when is it, his life is gone, what else can not be said."
As he spoke, Pei Yingjie turned to Wang Chuanxiao.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that Wang Chuanxiao at this moment was already bloodless, and he fell to the ground with a "plop". Then he kept kowtowing, "The minister knows the guilt, the minister knows the guilt......"
"Wang Chuanxiao, you are so bold, as the deputy chief examiner, you dare to let the candidates enter the exam without authorization at the unitary hour, what is the relationship between the two of you, and how much benefit do you receive from him? Didn't you change his rolls for you! ”
Ye Xianggao looked at Wang Chuanxiao and pointed out that it was Wang Chuanxiao, and the spiritual head came immediately, stretched out his fingers, and asked sharply. Which faction do you belong to, what kind of background, and who doesn't know whom. You, Wang Chuanxiao, are Wei Zhongxian's party, everyone is right on the opposite side, and if you are arrested, Sun Shenxing can be regarded as saving.
"I ...... I ......" Wang Chuanxiao dared to say that it was the person sent by Gonggong Wei, squeaked, and only said two "I" words for a long time.
At this time, Ye Xianggao fully carried forward the spirit of beating the water dogs, and he immediately rushed to Shi Li and said: "Your Majesty, I think it must be that the deputy chief examiner Wang Chuanxiao colluded with Pei Yingjie to teach and accept each other privately, and secretly changed the test papers. The minister thought that if he did not carry out the punishment, he would definitely not tell the truth. ”
"What Ye Shoufu said is reasonable, villains like Wang Chuanxiao who destroy evil are simply insulting to the court, and they must be severely punished." "His Majesty appointed him to be the deputy chief examiner, not only did he not know how to repay him, but he had a negative favor, which should be dealt with strictly." …… These guys are really out of nostrils, they just pleaded for Sun Shenxing together, and now as soon as they seized the opportunity, they began to attack Wang Chuanxiao together. Everyone, you say a word to me, and scold Wang Chuanxiao is a bloody dog, and there are no dirty words. After scolding, it is the same point of view, severe punishment is not a loan, and it is better to start fighting now.
Wang Chuanxiao didn't even dare to raise his head at this moment, but just kowtowed vigorously, "The minister is guilty, ask Your Majesty to be gracious......"
Zhu Youxiao was furious, this carpenter emperor was not a fool, everything in front of him was clear. When Sun Shenxing was just about to be investigated, what was the reaction of the cabinet, and now that Wang Chuanxiao has been found, what is the attitude of these people. "You're all in this together! If it weren't for Yue Qing and Wei Qing, I wouldn't have been fooled to death by you this day. Zhu Youxiao secretly gritted his teeth, and waited until the voices of the ministers subsided before he said, "Yue Aiqing, you continue to ask." ”
"Obey." Yue Su bowed in response, looked at Pei Yingjie again, and asked, "Why did he let you into the examination room, what is the relationship between the two of you, or did he accept a bribe from you?" ”
"The student had never seen this adult before, let alone given a tael of silver. By the way, I can enter the door, someone took me there......" At that moment, Pei Yingjie told Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian sent Dongchang Fanzi to take him to the examination room, and how tough that Fanzi was at the door.
However, Pei Yingjie didn't know that person was Wei Zhongxian, but he knew that he was a character with some background. Therefore, he did not say the specific name and surname, but only said the honor guard and the leader.
Hearing this, Wang Chuanxiao almost stopped crying, he regretted it in his heart, he knew that this person had nothing to do with Father-in-law Wei, so why take this risk, now it's good, even his own future has been put into it.
Don't look at Pei Yingjie who didn't name him, but what kind of people were the few people present, how could he not guess who he had touched. Except for the fan of the East Factory, who can wear that outfit, except for the Fan of the East Factory, who dares to be so presumptuous at the gate of the Gongyuan.
Ye Xianggao looked at Wang Chuanxiao and said, "Lord Wang, who is the person who handed you the sign?" ”
"Yes......" Wang Chuanxiao's head hung on the ground, and he didn't dare to say Wei Zhongxian's name when he died. It was Ye Xianggao who laughed loudly, "Don't you dare to say it, I'll help you say it, it's Gonggong Wei, right?" ”
Wang Chuanxiao chose to acquiesce and did not answer. Because he also understands that now that everyone knows, it is useless to try to defend it. After a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you have also heard that this matter has nothing to do with Grandpa Wei, it is all the fault of the ministers." If Your Majesty wants to punish him, let him punish one of his ministers. ”
He is not confused, he knows that pulling Wei Zhongxian into the water will not be good for him, and the surname Suo will carry it all by himself, as long as Father-in-law Wei is fine, he will have a day to make a comeback after all.
His thoughts, Ye Xianggao and others naturally understand, if you want to recognize it alone, then we have to agree. At this time, I only heard the second assistant Han Yi say: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang and Pei Yingjie are obviously avoiding the important and trivial, if Pei Yingjie is not the person of Gonggong Wei, how can Lord Wang be willing to risk the world, change the exam papers privately, and deceive Sheng Cong." This matter is obviously Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chuanxiao's private teaching, wanting to cultivate party henchmen and plot against him, and hope that His Majesty will learn from it. ”
