Chapter 206: The Biggest Shady Scene in History
"The surname is Lei, aren't you afraid of delaying the tribute, and the Son of Heaven will cut off your head?"
In the face of five hundred murderous elite cavalry and black barrels, Huang Yunfa did not dare to resist arrest by force, only dared to verbally threaten and intimidate, he would regret his death, he knew this, he should not have listened to other people's words in the first place, and quietly ran to Guanwai or Beijing to temporarily avoid the limelight, instead of entering Beijing with great fanfare like now, but was intercepted and arrested by Lei Zhenjiang halfway, and he had a feeling of grief and shame that he was betrayed by his buddies.
But Mao didn't use it, Lei Zhenjiang just sneered on his face, and ordered the soldiers to tie up Huang Yunfa, carry the war horse, and go away, three hundred armed to the teeth of the family You look at me, I look at you, big eyes and small eyes, no one dares to stop them, not even a fart dare, they were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses, instinctively picked up the weapon thrown on the ground, discussed for a long time, sent a few clever stares at Lei Zhenjiang and his party, and the convoy returned to Taiyuan Mansion.
The news that the old man of the Huang family was intercepted and taken away by the Jinyi Guard, and the news of his detention in the Shanhaiguan prison soon spread throughout Shanxi, setting off huge waves like a nuclear bomb explosion. The civil officials wrote and criticized Lei Zhenjiang, and the impeachment of Lei Zhenjiang flew to Beijing like snowflakes, and it is said that dozens of horses have died of exhaustion in the past few days.
Several masters jumped up and down and scolded their mothers, they did a lot of calculations, but they didn't count that Lei Zhenjiang ate the leopard's gall, dared to really arrest Huang Yunfa, and if he made a mistake, he had to make up for it and carry out all kinds of remedies, all the relationships that could be used were used, and all the people who could be used were sent out, and at the same time Lei Zhenjiang was charged with blocking the road and robbing tribute, kidnapping the imperial businessman for extortion of money, corruption, careless management of human life, and attempting to rebel.
Lei Zhenjiang had already been mentally prepared, and he just smiled at the various basins that were detained, and according to the plan discussed, he imprisoned Huang Yunfa in the prison of Shanhaiguan County, and dispatched Jinyi Weili and soldiers of the Phoenix Legion to guard the prison to prevent assassins from assassinating or robbing the prison.
After arranging, the next thing is to sit patiently with Lu Hongniang and wait for the eight big families to make a move, Lei Zhenjiang and Lu Hongniang are not worried about the situation here at all, they are worried about the situation on the side of the Jingshi, they have to face it alone, bear the fierce and crazy firepower of the civil official group, I don't know if they can hold it?
Jingshi, Zhu Jian has been running to the Royal Academy for the past few days, the palace exam is approaching, but the Royal Academy has already held the exam in advance, and the students who can participate in the exam are basically students who study water conservancy and road construction, and the best 20 students will go to the palace exam.
That's right, it's going to take the palace exam, and the results will definitely be ranked within the top forty, and the best two of them will be within the top ten in the temple exam, which is Zhu Jian used the quota to edit the "Ming Dictionary" for them, to put it bluntly, it is a shady deal, and the royal military advisor Song Xiance came forward, first negotiated the conditions with Ruan Dacheng, the leader of the Jiangnan faction, Jin Yiwei pinched some of his black materials in his hand, and he couldn't help but be uncompromising, and then the two of them joined forces to talk to a group of bigwigs of the Donglin Party.
Now, with the support of Zhu Jian, intentionally or unintentionally, Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction has grown rapidly, while the Donglin Party has suffered a certain amount of suppression.
This year's candidates, born in poverty, no faction background accounted for more than two-thirds of the candidates, the remaining one-third, the Donglin Party's protégés accounted for forty percent, the Jiangnan faction accounted for three percent, the rest of the non-faction or some of the protégés of the famous masters who did not stand in line, are all all the way through, in the fierce competition to win the outstanding talents, the strength is very close, it is difficult to estimate who can make the list.
Because there are too many variables, the Donglin Party does not dare to guarantee that the protégés in the faction can be admitted to the top 50 places, let alone the top 10 in the palace, but if the three factions agree, operate behind the scenes, and divide the quotas, the winning rate is 100 percent, and then the temptation of the "Daming Dictionary" editing quota, the Donglin Party finally chose shady trading.
The blackest palace test deal in history was negotiated, everyone knew that once the news leaked out, there would be no place to die, and the bigwigs who participated in it were tight-lipped and made a fortune silently, and then, the Jiangnan faction and the Donglin Party held a meeting behind closed doors to discuss the distribution of quotas, and the imperial party conducted internal examinations in advance to screen talents.
The Royal Academy has only been set up for a long time, and the students' study time has not even reached a semester, but the time is urgent, and Zhu Jian can't help it, fortunately, these students are all students from poor backgrounds, study diligently and hard, only focus on one or two majors, and can specialize in professional courses.
"Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is in a hurry."
When the students were immersed in answering the questions and Zhu Jianmao was peeking out of the window, Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies, approached and reported in a low voice.
"Huh?" Zhu Jian frowned, urgent, what's wrong?
"I'm fork, this is a ...... on the bones" After reading the urgency, Zhu Jian couldn't help cursing, if he didn't come sooner or later, he was really a bit terrible at this juncture, what he was worried about was that the shady deal of the three parties was yellow, but the matter had already happened, and he couldn't help but choose.
After returning to the palace, the imperial military advisor Song Xiance and the staff of the entire royal advisory group were urgently summoned into the imperial study for a meeting to discuss countermeasures, and then, a series of secret orders were issued from the imperial study, and the eagle dogs such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Vocational Trust, and Red Gang all quietly took action to make various preparations for the upcoming storm.
Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Red Gang secretly collected the black materials of all the civilian officials on the blacklist, in fact, since Zhu Jian ascended the throne, these three major spy agencies have been doing this work, and now they are just stepping up a little bit to sort out the black materials and prepare them for use.
Today's "Imperial Times" has absorbed a large number of newspaper fans with its fast news, accuracy, novel content, light-hearted humor, fairness and justice, and cheap price, and has been enough to compete with "Donglin Daily" and "Jiangnan Daily" in terms of sales and influence, and even has a tendency to surpass the other two newspapers.
The content of these issues of the "Imperial Times" miscellaneous edition is to publish the stories of celebrities such as Bao Zheng, a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Wanli Hairui and other celebrities in the former dynasty, the core content is that officials should be honest, and they also published a fairly good commentary, some of these comments are from the imperial party's navy, there are many students from the Donglin Party and Jiangnan faction, and more students without gang backgrounds.
All kinds of pits have been quietly dug, but Zhu Jian is still not at ease, in order to be safe, he instructed the Jinyi guard to command Lei Yin to go and make an appointment with Ruan Dacheng.
