"According to Weichen's investigation, three months ago, Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, the chief writers of the Ministry of Rites, did a lot of strange things during the Yunzhou State Examination, which caused the dissatisfaction of countless literati and candidates in Yunzhou, and the people's grievances were boiling, and even caused conflicts and confrontations between candidates and Yunzhou schools.

As soon as Ma Yanhua's words fell, Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, who were in the back row of the hundred officials, both trembled, their faces were pale, and they knelt on the ground, crying out for wrong.

However, Ma Yanhua ignored Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang's actions at all, and just continued to take care of himself: "Wei Chen was worried that the rumors were false, so he specially sent someone in Yunzhou to try to collect the answer sheet of Zhou Jingren, the first place in the written test, as well as Xiao Mo himself. ”

While speaking, Ma Yanhua took out two answer sheets from his sleeve and handed them to the eunuch with both hands.

However, after Emperor Chu Ling carefully reviewed the two answer sheets, his face changed, and he suddenly slammed the two answer sheets on the table with a "snap", glared at Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang fiercely, and then asked Ma Yanhua: "What else have you found, continue to say!" ”

Ma Yanhua's expression did not move, and he continued: "As far as Wei Chen knows, this time in the Yunzhou State Examination, a total of 33 people were admitted, and in the past hundred years in Yunzhou, when the most people were admitted, there were only 17 people. It is rumored that most of the candidates who have won the title of meritorious person do not match their knowledge. At the time of the interview, there were two candidates, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, who spoke outright, but were driven away from the examination room by Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, and Zhou Jingren, who was the first in the written examination, felt that his knowledge was far inferior to Xiao Mo, and he also took the initiative to withdraw from the interview, and these three people also offended Zuo Yue and the two of them, and they all failed afterwards. ”

At this time, Emperor Chu Ling, who had been angry, turned his face calm.

It's scary, it's quiet.

No matter how neglected Emperor Chu Ling has been in charge of political affairs over the years, he is still the supreme of the Chu Dynasty, because of the various systems formulated by Chu Taizu a hundred years ago, no matter how powerful Zhang Qian and Wang Han are, the power of the Chu Dynasty is still firmly in his hands.

When the Son of Heaven is angry, the whole world is afraid!!

The Chu Dynasty ruled the world with the power of literati and stabilized the world with the heart of literati. Although Emperor Chu Ling was not shrewd, he also understood the importance of this matter.

What's more, Emperor Chu Ling is now very fond of Xiao Mo, who he has never met, and he is even more angry in his heart about this matter!!

"Zuo Lingfu, Yue Shang, do you and the other two have anything to say?"

Hearing Emperor Chu Ling's seemingly calm but actually angry questioning, Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang both trembled, wanting to justify, but they didn't know what to say, after all, the facts were there.

And with Emperor Chu Ling's temperament, both of them knew that at this time, not only could they not be forgiven, but would attract heavy punishment, so they both involuntarily cast their eyes on Zhang Qian for help.

However, in the next moment, both of them were desperate.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

Zhang Qian suddenly came out of the queue and knelt in the tunnel.

Emperor Chu Ling was slightly stunned, but he still respected Zhang Qian, restrained his anger slightly, and asked slowly: "Zhang Qingjia, what are your crimes?" ”

Zhang Qian kowtowed and said: "The Yunzhou Prefecture test this time, the facts are all there, the people's grievances are boiling, it is beyond doubt, Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang no matter what their intentions, but the crime of dereliction of duty is inevitable, but these two are the chief writers of the Ministry of Rites appointed by Wechen, and this case is out of the case, Wechen has the crime of knowing no one and not knowing." ”

Hearing Zhang Qian's statement, Emperor Chu Ling just wanted to say something, but immediately an official came out to report: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter cannot be blamed on the Prime Minister. A few days ago, there was a fraud case in the Ministry of Rites, and the officials in the department were either degraded or reprimanded, and almost all the personnel were replaced, and it was inevitable that villains would be mixed in. The Prime Minister has a lot of affairs on weekdays, and it is impossible to cover everything, although there are mistakes, but it is also human nature. This time, the states and states tried to remove the Yunzhou place, and other places are normal, so it can be seen that the case of Yunzhou this time is only a matter of Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

Then, several more officials immediately came out of the ranks, each looking for reasons to exonerate Zhang Qian.

Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang were both stunned when they saw such a change.

In this way, Zhang Qian was fine, but the charges of the two were decided here.

Especially Zuo Lingfu, he couldn't help but want to say something. But at this moment, Li Tao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing next to the two of them. But he suddenly whispered: "The two of you have to think about what to say, if you just admit your guilt and have the prime minister to take care of you, at most you will lose your position." If you dare to implicate the matter on the prime minister......"

Hearing Li Tao's whispered voice, Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang both felt chills on their bodies for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, they both buried their heads on the ground and had no words to refute.

Watching coldly as the courtiers of Zhang Qian's family continued to excuse Zhang Qian, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Han's mouth. Secretly thought: "It seems that Zhang Qian has thought of this a long time ago, but he can deal with it easily, although he has abandoned Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, he himself will be clean, maybe he can increase His Majesty's favor towards him because of this, it is really a good means." Unfortunately, that's not all I do. ”

Sure enough, after hearing the pleading words of the courtiers, Emperor Chu Ling's face softened a little.

Emperor Chu Ling had a lot of trust in Zhang Qian, and he didn't think that this matter would have anything to do with Zhang Qian at all. At this moment, after hearing the courtier's plea, he felt that Zhang Qian had worked hard and made great achievements, and he had been worshipping literature and seeking immortals for many years, but he owed him a debt.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu Ling said to Zhang Qian slowly: "Zhang Aiqing, you don't have to blame yourself for this, you have worked weekdays, I see it in my eyes, people are not sages, it is impossible to make no mistakes, you really can't be blamed for this matter, get up quickly." ”

Hearing Emperor Chu Ling's words, Zhang Qian knew that this matter was over for him, and he was never implicated again.

As for what would happen to Zuo Lingfu and Yue Shang, he didn't care, as long as he could save the lives of the two, others couldn't say that he was ruthless.

However, at this moment, Wang Han suddenly spoke.

I saw Wang Han come out and say: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this matter is no wonder of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister has every opportunity, he has been in charge of the affairs of the government and politics all these years, and he is old, and his energy will inevitably decline, and it is impossible to do everything." Occasional mistakes don't hurt at all. ”

After hearing Wang Han's words, the ministers of Zhang Qian's family were all stunned.

They were still preparing to deal with Wang Han's reproach, but they didn't expect Wang Han to take the initiative to exonerate Zhang Qian.

After Zhang Qian heard Wang Han's words, his heart was cold.

Occupied daily with important matters......

Overseeing the affairs of the government and government......

Can these words be applied to a courtier?

It is also well known??!!

In just an instant, Zhang Qian had already guessed Wang Han's true plan.

Sure enough, in the next period of time, all the ministers of Wang Han's family also began to exonerate Zhang Qian, but the point was that Zhang Qian had too much power in his hands, and all the affairs of the DPRK and China were in his hands, and he was old, so it was inevitable that he would make mistakes.

For a time, almost all the ministers in the court were interceding for Zhang Qian.

Most of the ministers of Zhang Qian's family not only failed to perceive the crisis, but were elated and quite proud, thinking that Wang Han was afraid of Zhang Qian, which was a flattering move.

At the same time, looking at the ministers who were all pleading for Zhang Qian, the smile on Emperor Chu Ling's face gradually disappeared.
