"Your Majesty, the ministers have a fold."

A shout interrupted Chai Rong's thoughts.

Chai Rong stared at it, it turned out to be Situ and his subordinate squire, Ping Zhangshi, and Hongwenguan University scholar Fan Zhen, Chai Rong replied: "What is Fan Aiqing's matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Liu Wensuo, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, for committing fraud in the spring of February this year."

When Chai Rong heard this, his already unhappy mood became even more irritable, and he asked, "Does Fan Aiqing have any evidence?" ”

Fan Zhen replied: "The ministers have witnesses and physical evidence, and the witnesses are waiting for the emperor to inquire outside the palace, and the emperor is invited to take a closer look at the physical evidence." ”

After that, Fan Zhen handed the fold in his hand to the eunuch, who handed it over to Chai Rong.

Chai Rong took a closer look, and wrote in the excerpt that in the spring of this year, the poems, literary theories, and essays of the examination have all been sealed, and sixteen Jinshi, including Li Qin, He Riyan, Yang Huizhi, Zhao Linji, and other four people, should be in place. And Yan Shuo, Wu Yuncheng, Wang Fen, Luqiu Shunqing, Ren Weiji, Zhou Du, Zhang Shenhui, Wang Zhu, Ma Wen, Liu Xuan, Cheng Haoran, Li Zhen and other twelve people, who are not proficient in their studies, all deserve to be in the first place. However, Liu Wensuo, the waiter of the examiner's etiquette department, cheated, so he was taken into the .......

Chai Rong snorted coldly and shouted, "Can Liu Wensuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, be in the palace?" ”

Liu Wensuo walked out of the queue tremblingly, and saluted Chai Rong: "The minister is here." ”

Chai Rong said: "Do you have any objections to Fan Situ's impeachment?" If there is any objection, a witness can be summoned to confront him. ”

Liu Wensuo had already been a thief, and when he heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged: "The minister is guilty, I hope the emperor will forgive him." ”

Chai Rong saw that Liu Wensuo confessed his guilt, so he slapped the fold on the dragon case. The decree said: "In the case of Chunqiu, four people, including Li Qin, He Riyan, Yang Huizhi, and Zhao Lin, should be the first. And Yan Shuo, Wu Yuncheng, Wang Fen, Luqiu Shunqing, Ren Weiji, Zhou Du, Zhang Shenhui, Wang Zhu, Ma Wen, Liu Xuan, Cheng Haoran, Li Zhen and other twelve people. If they are not proficient in their studies, they should be disappointed, so that they can study hard and try again later. Liu Wensuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had made a mistake in the selection of scholars, and according to his fault, he should be degraded, and he is hereby forgiven and tolerated. Liu Wensu was exempted from conviction, and in the future, he ordered the relevant departments to formulate separate regulations. ”

Fan was shocked. Such a case of fraud in the imperial examination was actually lifted high by Chai Rong and gently put down, this imperial examination is related to the country's social affairs. So laissez-faire. How can you convince the people, just waiting to come forward to admonish.

Chai Rong spoke again: "I have made up my mind, do you still have something to do?" ”

Fan Zhen sighed lightly when he heard this, and had no choice but to walk back to the queue. Fan Zhen knew that after Chai Rong ascended the throne, he was eager to promote the Magi, and anyone who had a little talent would be accepted and feuded. But without screening those who are talented and unvirtuous, last year. Zhao Shouwei was impeached on the right, Zhao Shouwei was originally a villager, his appearance was simple and unadorned, and he wrote a book as a commoner the year before, and Sejong was in a hurry to raise the Magi, so he appointed Zhao Shouwei as the right pickup, and everyone who heard it was shocked. Later, Zhao Shouwei was sued by his father-in-law and exposed his ugly deeds.

And after Chai Rong knew about it, he only hit Zhao Shouwei's staff a hundred times on the right and sent it to Salmon Island. And now Liu Wensuo is the same, but Chai Rong's will has been given, what can Fan Zhi be?

Yin Ri, the right counselor, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Pu, the former envoy of the Zhou State, turned his back on the Zhou State, and this great crime of rebellion should be severely punished; The Ming State killed Zhang Zhao, the secretary of our military department, without permission, and it was even more intolerable. The minister implored the emperor to decree that Wang Pu should be punished and declared war on the Ming Kingdom, and only the whole country would be prestigious. ”

For a while, there was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes were looking at Chai Rong, everyone knew that declaring war on the Ming Kingdom at this time was asking for their own death.

For a long time, Chai Rong didn't speak, his face began to turn iron-blue, and he saw that the thunderous anger was about to be released.

At this time, Wang Pushang, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Pingzhangshi, and Jixian Palace, prelude: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to transform Bianjing, and now the money and materials have been prepared, but the officials and people involved in the demolition do not cooperate, how to deal with it, and I hope that the emperor will show you." ”

The buildings of Bianjing City are messy, the roads are cramped, crowded, Chai Rong already has the idea of transforming and expanding Bianjing when he ascended the throne, the capital of a country must have a look, most of the roads in Bianjing are only ten to twenty steps wide, the emperor's chariot can not pass, but the treasury of Zhou is empty, there is a weak heart, and the movement of exterminating Buddha has added considerable wealth to Zhou Guoping, which makes Chai Rong's heart to expand Bianjing active again.

"Wang Shangshu, it is imperative to renovate Bianjing, and the edict told the subjects of Bianjing that when the expansion is completed, in addition to the government land, the demolition people can freely build twice as many houses as before on the remaining land. In this way, if there are still officials who do not cooperate, they will be beheaded; If there are still people who do not cooperate, drive them away. ”

“…… Obey the order. ”

Fortunately, Wang Pu became a countryman, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he diverted the topic, and this answer eliminated a lot of anger in Chai Rong's heart.

The officials had already heard that Chai Rong was in a very bad mood today, and he didn't want to play anymore because he had nothing to do.

At this time, Li Gu hesitated whether he should step forward to tell Chai Rong about Wang Pu, and while thinking about it, Chai Rong opened his mouth and asked, "Zuo Zangku envoy Ling Guang is here?" ”

Fu Lingguang responded: "The minister is here." ”

"I ordered you to make a large number of sergeants' cotton clothes for the winter of the Zhou army in the second half of the year, and it has been a month so far, how is the progress?"

"Uh......." Fu Lingguang was stunned, he had been busy preparing materials for the transformation of Bianjing, and he had forgotten about it. "Your Majesty, the minister is panicking, and the minister has not yet started to ...... the matter of making cotton clothes."

"Bold! Cotton clothes are related to the morale and combat effectiveness of our army, how can you be good at it? Someone came, dragged him out and cut him down. Chai Rong was furious and roared.

Everyone present didn't dare to breathe, thinking that Chai Rong's words of "chopping" were scaring Fu Lingguang to warn him not to disobey the emperor's will, so they didn't come forward to admonish, but they didn't want to, after Chai Rong yelled, he actually brushed his sleeves and went into the inner palace, and the ministers reacted, and the ministers wanted to persuade Fu Lingguang to rescue, but Chai Rong was not there, this gentleman had no jokes, so Fu Lingguang was killed on the street.

Fu Lingguang came from a family of meritorious heroes, held palace positions in the inner court of the imperial court, was honest and prudent, and was in charge of heavy and complicated affairs for a long time, and had a very honest and capable reputation. Chai Rong has always valued him as a person and often reused him, but now he has been punished for a small mistake, and everyone feels that he died unjustly.

Chai Rong's words and deeds today made the entire Zhou State court angry, and Li Gu naturally lost the opportunity to report to Chai Rong.

Walking out of the hall, Li Gu briefly told Wang Pu what happened in the palace.

Wang Pu was shocked when he heard this, Chai Rong has always been kind to others, how could he kill Fu Lingguang in such a trivial matter.

Li Gu was worried that if Wang Pu saw the emperor now, he might be in danger of his life, so he persuaded Wang Pu to come back tomorrow.

Although Wang Pu was disappointed, he was anxious about this matter, so he had to go back to Li Mansion with Li Gu.
