Wen Donglai said: "You have to be in Huiyuan, aren't you satisfied?" ”

Wen Zhenmeng's face did not have half the joy of winning the exam, and said: "If it is based on real ability, my nephew will be very happy, but unfortunately it is not." ”

"What's going on? In detail. ”

"Zhu Youcheng's article is beautiful, elegant but atmospheric, but it was dethroned for no reason, so the title of Huiyuan fell on my head. With a sage in front, my nephew is really embarrassed to occupy this title. ”

Wen Donglai is a little white-headed, and after many years, he must be even more white. He twisted his snow-white beard and groaned: "Speaking of which, Zhu Youcheng is still my student, I used to read his articles and felt full of aura, but I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for a few years, and his articles were actually polished exquisitely, and I was so appreciated by you." Zhenmeng, have you copied it and brought it to the old man to watch. ”

Wen Zhenmeng took out a piece of paper folded into four squares from his arms and handed it over. Wen Donglai took it and unfolded it to look at it, and after reading a few lines, he nodded his beard, with a smile on his face, and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect that Baguwen could be written so elegantly and catchy." ”

After reading the full text, he turned to Sun Shenxing and said, "Master Sun, why did you lose such an excellent article? ”

Sun Shenxing hurriedly stepped forward and told him the reason. But I didn't expect Wen Donglai's uncle and nephew to be just as thoughtful and unwilling to believe Sun Shenxing's words.

At the end, Wen Dong said: "You are very reasonable, but I still have to report this matter to the emperor, after all, this is Yan Sù's great ceremony, and I have to wait for the Holy Dragon's will." ”

After speaking, Wen Donglai didn't care about his nephew kneeling on the ground, got into the sedan chair directly, and rushed to the palace.

Sun Shenxing's heart sank, this matter was still a big trouble. Looking at the other two red sedan chairs, they also turned around, and they didn't even hit one face.

It turned out that Gu Bingqian and Sun Chengzong were two old foxes, and when they saw the crowd at the gate of Guozijian, they saw Wen Donglai getting on the sedan chair and returning, and they didn't get out of the sedan chair, so they followed Wen Donglai to the palace together. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the three of them got off the sedan chair together, Gu Bingqian and Sun Chengzong inquired about the whole story, and then went to see the Emperor of the Apocalypse together.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was wondering why Zhu Youcheng didn't even get the tribute, and when he saw Wen Donglai coming in a hurry, he asked, "Scholar Wen, didn't you go to Guozijian to visit the new Gongshi?" Why did you come back so quickly, is there any outstanding talent? ”

Wen Donglai took out the article copied by his nephew and handed it to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, take a look at this article." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse took it and glanced at it, then handed it back again, and said, "I have already read this article, it is Brother Cheng's scientific article. Such a good article didn't hit the tribute, it seems that this session is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. ”

Wen Donglai said: "Your Majesty, the undergraduate Huiyuan is my nephew Wen Zhenmeng, according to him, his article is far inferior to this article, so this scientific examination admission must be strange." He didn't want to get this huiyuan without knowing it, so he was still kneeling at the door of Guozijian and asked the chief examiner Sun Shenxing to revoke his huiyuan and change it to Zhu Youcheng. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and said, "Brother Cheng said that he can win six yuan, and sure enough, he can win six yuan, he will not deceive me." Your nephew is very honest, and I will have a reward in the future. This case of fraud in the field is going to be thoroughly investigated! ”

After speaking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered Wei Zhongxian to summon all the two examiners and the twelve examiners, and then asked someone to bring all the sealed Zhu Juans (the test papers copied by the transcribers with a red pen) and the ink scrolls (the test papers that the examinees answered directly with a brush) that had been sealed. By the way, I also informed the tributes gathered in the Guozijian to disperse for the time being, waiting for the notice to gather again.

Wei Zhongxian's organizational skills are very strong, and he will assign the task after a while, and after half an hour, everything will be arranged.

The examiners were all nervous in their hearts, although they had a clear conscience, but the case involved the distribution of interests and had nothing to do with corruption, and it was a political struggle. For example, in the case of the Hongwu Dynasty's North and South List, the main examination was as clear as water and as cheap as a mirror, but the end was very miserable. Emperor Tianqi has been saving for two years, and suddenly he uprooted the Donglin Party officials all over the court, faintly having the demeanor of a generation of male lords Hongwu Emperor, God knows if he will use these examiners as scapegoats?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Have you found Zhu Youcheng's test paper?" ”

Wei Zhongxian took a red scroll and an ink scroll and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been found." ”

After speaking, he held Zhu Youcheng's test paper in both hands and handed it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at the test paper and said, "Why did you depose this lifter?" I heard from the scholars of the University of Literature that all the scholars were impressed by his examination papers, and gathered at the gate of the Guozijian to protest against the unfair admissions, including Yuan Wen Zhenmeng. If it is someone else's protest, it will be fine, and Huiyuan's protest shows that there is really a problem with admission. Because of the admission of Zhu Youcheng, Wen Zhenmeng will be demoted to second place, not extremely unfair, why would Hui Yuan do this? ”

The twelve markers knelt down together and said: "It was not our intention to depose Zhu Youcheng, please look at the emperor, we have written words on the test paper." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse opened the scroll and saw that there were indeed many words and signatures densely written on it, and after counting it, there were a total of fourteen words, including Sun Shenxing and Wang Tu, the main examiners and deputy examiners.

"Even if all the examiners think that Zhu Youcheng should be admitted, why did they depose him?"

Sun Shenxing took a step forward and said loudly: "It is my idea to depose Zhu Youcheng, please see his signature, the emperor." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced down and wondered, "I don't think there's anything abnormal. ”

"Your Majesty, Zhu Youcheng is guilty of slander and great disrespect, and he should be executed by Ling Chi, and I only dethroned him and did not arrest him, which is already an extrajudicial favor."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so angry that he dared to kill my brother Cheng, so bold. He threw the red roll in Sun Shenxing's face and shouted angrily, "Where is the offense? ”

Sun Shenxing calmly provoked himself, took down the red scroll on his face, and said: "Long live, the offense is not on the Zhu scroll, but on the ink scroll." There is a word 'by' in his signature on the ink scroll, and he is bold and straightforward, and he does not hide it at all because it is the emperor's name, which is really disrespectful. What's wrong with me deposing him? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse opened the ink scroll and looked at it, and sure enough, the word "by" was written on it in a dignified manner, horizontal and vertical, and there was no mistake at all. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, he originally wanted to fight for his younger brother's position, but he didn't expect to hurt him. Although Da Ming did not catch the offender, Sun Shenxing deposed Zhu Youcheng with this point, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't say anything, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the word 'by'." A shrill voice suddenly sounded, and it turned out to be Wei Zhongxian standing next to him, peeking at the ink scroll, and there was something strange.

Sun Shenxing's heart jumped suddenly, and he said in his heart: "This old gelding is really powerful, and I can see that I have moved on the word 'by'." But it doesn't matter, Xu Siyue, who copied the ink scroll, didn't see Zhu Youcheng's signature, and now he is dead without proof. ”

It turned out that after Sun Shenxing collected the volume, he carefully thought about how to deal with Zhu Youcheng. Originally, he smeared charcoal powder on his hands and quietly left a faint trace on Zhu Youcheng's test paper, wanting to knock down the test paper in the process of grading. However, he stood by Xu Siyue's side and watched him transcribe the test papers, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the quality of Zhu Youcheng's test papers was more than one or two percent higher than others. If it is forcibly knocked down, public opinion will be raging at that time, and he will not be able to explain it to the emperor.

So, he frowned, calculated his heart, and took advantage of Xu Siyue's inattention to steal Zhu Youcheng's test papers. He walked to a corner where no one was around, opened the paper with his name and looked at it, and sure enough, Zhu Youcheng paid attention to avoidance when he signed, and when he wrote the word "by", the horizontal in the middle was written very short, and it was written as a different word. He quietly added a horizontal to it, and wrote the word "by" into orthography. Then, he sealed the paper with his name and quietly put the test paper back. This qiē is done without knowing it, and he is not worried about being different.
