Chapter 258: The disaster of destroying the door is in front of you
As soon as Haifeng spoke, the people present were taken aback.
Zhao Xin said in a cold sweat: "Don't bother Lord Hai about this matter, right?"
"This is originally the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Haifeng said lightly: "The minister asks His Majesty to order the minister to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
Wang Mang didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Do you still insist that leaking questions is a small problem, and the list is a small problem?"
Zhao Xin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!"
Wang Mang snorted coldly and said coldly: "Zhao Xin, is there a problem with the list, it is no longer a simple small problem or a big problem, but now it has risen to a political problem, if it is not solved well, there will be a big mess, Zhao Xin, you yourself said, this time the examiner is ancient and unprecedented, and it will be passed down through the ages, what to do, don't you understand it in your heart?"
"Minister...... I see. Zhao Xin sighed in his heart, knowing that the emperor was going to use the topic to play, but what to do, Zhao Xin still couldn't make up his mind.
Wang Mang's voice fell again at this time: "Haifeng, go and investigate thoroughly, whether it is a small problem or a big problem, I must find out the problem, as long as the problem is found, I don't care if the matter is big." ”
"Obey. Haifeng kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is already a clue here." ”
Say. Wang Mang said.
"There is a person named Wu Li in the second-class list of scholars this time. Haifeng Road.
Hearing the name Wu Li, Zhao Xin immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wu Li's test papers, the ministers and Hai adults have all seen them, but they are brilliant and deserve the title of the second class." ”
"But this?" Wang Mang looked at Haifeng, Haifeng has never been a person without a target, since Haifeng is eyeing this Wu Li, it means that there must be something wrong with him.
"That's true, this Wu Li scholar's test paper is indeed brilliant, and he is considered an outstanding figure among all the scholars, and it is not too much of a problem to evaluate a second-class scholar. Haifeng changed his words and said: "However, the minister above is only for Wu Li's test paper, and the minister has other opinions on Wu Li himself. ”
Haifeng has already said this, Zhao Xin didn't dare to talk more, he was already afraid of Wang Mang, for fear that he would say the wrong thing, and if he was brought home to reflect on it, it would be too late for him to cry at that time.
Under Wang Mang's signal, Haifeng continued: "For Wu Li's ranking, the scholars in Beijing reacted greatly, and many scholars said that if Wu Li can get the second class, then it is not a big problem for them to get the first class, and most of the people who say these words are some scholars who have failed to make the list. ”
Haifeng continued: "After Wei Chen heard these rumors, he was very surprised, so he asked people to inquire, and the result surprised the minister, this Wu Li is also a very famous figure among scholars, but it is different from other people's genius names, Wu Li is a well-known wine bag rice bag, saying that wine bag rice bag is a bit harsh, but this person is indeed a mediocre person, and this person's biggest reputation is lustful. ”
"The sage said that lust eaters are also sexy, and lust is originally human nature, and it is nothing. Li Lan said with a smile.
"Gonggong Li doesn't know that this Wu Li is not only lustful, this person is almost crazy for women. Haifeng said expressionlessly: "A month ago, this person once spent a lot of money in the largest flower and willow land in the capital to courtship a woman in a green building, which caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an Shizi circle at that time, and also made him famous." ”
"And then, what's wrong with him?" asked Wang Mang with a frown.
"In addition to Wu Li being a scholar, he also has an identity, he is the beloved son of Wu Yong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Haifeng said lightly: "And the test questions of the examiners this time are from Wu Yong, by the way, the examinees in normal years, the test questions are all from the Ministry of Rites, but when the questions were written this year, Zhao Shangshu was resting at home due to illness, so there was Wu Yong, the left waiter, to write the questions on his behalf." ”
When Haifeng said this, he kept silent, and Wang Mang's face turned blue in an instant, staring at Zhao Xin and saying coldly: "Zhao Xin, what Haifeng said is true?"
"Yes. Zhao Xin fell to his knees with a puff.
"Did you already know about this?" Wang Mang asked again.
"Yes. Zhao Xin's face turned pale and explained: "Kechen really doesn't know the inside story of this, besides, although Lord Wu has no talent, he is timid by nature, so he shouldn't have the courage to do such a thing." ”
"Don't have the guts?" Wang Mang asked, "Do you think that a person who has no courage can explain the matter?" Do you Zhao Xin dare to vouch for Wu Yong?"
"Weichen ......" Zhao Xin knelt on the ground deeply, he didn't dare to say a word, he had already seen that there was a problem with Wu Li's ranking, but Wu Yong was the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Zhao Xin was speechless, but he didn't expect it to be stabbed by Haifeng, thinking of this, Zhao Xin regretted it a little, he didn't know who Haifeng was, and he had nothing to hide from him in front of him.
Hum!
Wang Mang snorted coldly and said: "I don't bully people, whether they are on the list or not, I will summon all the scholars who have been reported to have problems with their rankings into the palace, Zhao Xin, you will solve the question, Haifeng, you supervise, and then call Wang Qinian over to look at the scholars, I want to see the real talents of these people." ”
Zhao Xin, Haifeng and the others glanced at each other, knowing that the emperor was really angry, if the scholars were really admitted with a low level of talent, or if they were not admitted with a high level of talent, I am afraid that the emperor would have to cut off his head, otherwise he would call Wang Qinian to kill what to do.
Since Wang Qinian cut off the heads of hundreds of scholars in Shiziyuan, he has been at home, in the court, and in the Yamen, and the soldiers and horses of the Yamen, and the low-key ones are not low-key, but almost all the scholars will see Wang Qinian, and their bodies can't help but be three points shorter, they are really afraid of being killed, and Wang Qinian has also been given a nickname, the old killer!
Since ancient times, there are no secrets in the imperial palace, and what happened here in Wang Mang almost soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and countless scholars ran to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to report that there was a problem, that there was a problem, and in the end, the Ministry of Rites had to open up several offices to receive letters and visits from scholars.
And Wu Yong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, almost fainted in fright, and immediately found his beloved son Wu Li, and started with a mouthful, scolding: "You cheat daddy, say, did you know the test questions in advance?"
Wu Li came out of the list and took the second grade, and he was proud all day long, until now he didn't know that the emperor was angry and asked Haifeng to investigate thoroughly, and asked Wu Yong to shout in a daze, and he was a little angry, and he heard his father scolding, so he said with an unhappy face: "Dad, you don't know your son's ability, do you think if I don't know the exam questions, I can take the second grade?"
"You ......" Wu Yong's face turned pale, and he wanted to give Wu Li another mouthful, but Wu Li saw the opportunity quickly and dodged it, Wu Yong collapsed directly on the chair, pointed at Wu Li and said angrily: "You rebel, the disaster of my Wu family is just around the corner!"
