Speaking of which, Li Guanqi's voice rose sharply, and the four ministers who were still glaring at each other, and even forgot to greet the emperor, reacted, and hurriedly knelt down with "plop" and "plop", kowtowed and said: "Wait for ten thousand deaths!" Your Majesty, please calm your anger! ”

Li Guanqi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Give me one less set!" What is a thousand deaths? I really want to die, once is enough! ”

After a pause, Li Guanqi then said angrily: "I see that you are really tired and crooked, otherwise what kind of fight would you have fought in a good manner?" You're all over 200 years old, so why are you still like children? You're not ashamed, are you? I'm a shame! ”

Zhao Pu is the youngest of the four, at this time the anger has not subsided, listening to Li Guanqi's reprimand, he also felt aggrieved in his heart, knelt on the ground and said with a stiff neck: "These test papers, the Central Mansion review is reasonable, please ask the emperor to uphold justice, no matter what, the ministers will have to participate in Yang Bozheng's book." ”

Li Guanqi was really puzzled when he heard Zhao Pu's words that he was not in the village and not in the store in the future, but seeing that Zhao Pu was still angry, he knew that he might not be able to ask him, so he asked Qin Minzhong: "Gongmian, you come and go." What's going on? ”

Qin Minzhong explained all the causes and consequences, and then said: "Chen and Zhao Pu didn't say that the two main examiners were unfair, but just to avoid suspicion, they proposed to review!" ”

Li Guanqi was also shocked when he heard that the students who were admitted to Jiangnan Province accounted for two-thirds of the total. Regarding this imperial examination, there have been things such as missing questions and cheating in all dynasties, Li Guanqi didn't want to have problems in the first subject during his time as emperor, so he said to Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai in a deep voice: "Do you two have anything to say?" ”

"The heart of the minister can be learned from heaven and earth, and there is no favoritism!" Yang Bo said righteously.

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the minister has nothing to say!" Lin Bai also has a righteous face.

Li Guanqi looked back and forth at the four people in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly shouted, "Someone! ”

He Ziming immediately flashed out, bowed down and said, "What does the emperor command?" ”

Li Guanqi said in a deep voice: "The files of all the candidates in this section will be sealed and sealed immediately and transferred to the Qinzheng Palace.

Send Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai home to rest, and closely protect their safety. No one is allowed to enter or leave the house of the two of them without my will. ”

"Yes!" He Ziming agreed, and immediately beckoned the others to come over and sort out the rolls on the table, sealed them one by one, and then walked up to Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai, and said, "Two adults, please go back to the house first, right?" ”

Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai naturally knew the meaning of Li Guanqi's will, and this volume was definitely going to be reviewed, and before the results of the review came out. Both of them were placed under house arrest. Although he was not convinced, he also knew that from the emperor's point of view, Li Guanqi's current handling was the most appropriate, so he had to kowtow to Li Guanqi again, and then silently followed He Ziming away.

Back in the Qinzheng Palace, Li Guanqi sat in front of the dragon book case, staring at the list of admitted candidates, and did not say a word for a long time. There are three names in this list that he is familiar with - champion Li Liangchun and Bangyan Tang Zifeng. and eighth place Lin Yuankui.

Li Guanqi vaguely remembered that Li Liangchun was the most indifferent to officialdom among the four people he saw last time, and according to his own words, articles were also commonplace. Now he is named the champion, but Xie Chen, whom he likes more, is not on the list. This couldn't help but deepen the doubts in his heart.

To tell the truth, among the 330 jinshi, 216 were students from Jiangnan Province, and the results of such an examination were indeed unseen and unheard of. Li Guanqi can't think of it, and it's hard to be suspicious. Although he still has enough trust in Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai, if these two really cheat for personal gain, he will not be soft either.

The paper is definitely going to be re-read, but who to review is also a headache. The people in the Ministry of Rites are all Yang Bozheng's direct subordinates, so they must not be used; Qin Minzhong and Zhao Pu had just fought with the two examiners, and they also had to avoid suspicion. And this matter of reviewing the paper must be in a hurry, if it drags on for too long and does not publish the list, it will definitely cause criticism.

After thinking about it, Li Guanqi had no choice but to ask Dongfang Rui, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhang Ziguang, the waiter of the Criminal Department, to take all the Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy to work overtime to review all the exam papers. Yang Bozheng, Lin Bai and the eighteen house owners were all confined to the mansion and waited for disposal.

Dongfang Rui and Zhang Ziguang are both outspoken people, and the people of the Hanlin Academy can also be called erudite and talented, Li Guanqi hopes that such a combination can be fair and just, but whether the results of the investigation can be made public is unknown.

Li Guanqi knew very well that once the news of the incident in the imperial examination spread, it would inevitably arouse the anger of the scholars in the world, and the impact would be great at that time, and it would be impossible for him to protect Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai, so all the people engaged in the investigation were banned by him.

The work efficiency of the imperial examination investigation team is really high, and on the evening of the third day, Dongfang Rui and Zhang Ziguang went to the Qinzheng Palace to reply to the decree, and they all knew that the emperor had been waiting for news.

Looking at Dongfang Rui and Zhang Ziguang who were kneeling in the center of the room, Li Guanqi rubbed his swollen temples, and said after a while: "The results are out?" ”

"It's out!" Dongfang Rui is the positive messenger of this investigation, so naturally he will reply.

"The result?" Li Guanqi pressed the eagerness in his heart and said as calmly as possible. He was afraid that from Dongfang Rui's mouth, Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai really had favoritism, if that was the case, the blow to him would be too great, and the most relied on courtiers would be removed by half at once, and he didn't know how to continue his ambitions next.

Dongfang Rui turned around and took a few papers from Zhang Ziguang's arms, held them in his hands, raised them high, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after careful review by the ministers and others, pay special attention to the test papers of students outside Jiangnan Province. ”

"Boom", Li Guanqi's intuitive eyes darkened, and Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai really favored each other. What should I do now? The imperial examination is a major event of the first rank in the world, and there is no immortal who has made mistakes in this kind of thing. Do you really want to raise the butcher knife in your hand at them?

Yue'er knew that she couldn't interject anything at this time, and she definitely couldn't interject, so she quietly took the test paper in Dongfang Rui's hand, gently put it in front of Li Guanqi, and retreated silently. (To be continued......)
