Things were the same as Ming Yan expected. The accusations against Wang Xiang are like spring water, more and more, and they are no longer limited to his private indulgence in Li Xiang.

In the early years, the unbearable past with nepotism and the right was turned out one by one, and the image of an elegant gentleman he had established over the years collapsed completely.

Even Huan Chong, who was the last right minister and strongly recommended Wang Ji to take the throne after marrying Wang Ji's younger sister Huan Old Woman, did not say a word under pressure.

Wang Muzhi remembered his identity as a colt this time, and did not beak with him; Wang Ningzhi clearly stood on the other side of Wang Ji.

The crowd in the court was indignant, Wang Ningzhi, Mu Jinheng and others were filled with the joy of victory, only the new secretary Gu Yuan sighed, and it was difficult to hide the sadness and loss.

Ming Yan thought that such a scene would make Wang Ji willing to surrender to the law, and he held a little luck, hoping that he could fall off the horse without a struggle - it was obviously impossible.

A few days later, sure enough, a speech official filed a case of fraud in the imperial examination for 23 years.

When the truth exploded like thunder, Ming Yan showed a relieved smile and knelt down heavily, avoiding Mu Jinheng's incredulous gaze.

On the same day, Ming Yan was escorted away by Lai Junyi, and before leaving, the sleek Lai Shangshu was still assuring the new Hubu Shangshu and Shang Shucheng: "The two of you can rest assured, Xiang Jungong will definitely feel at home in me, and there will be no harsh treatment!" You can visit at any time! But, hey...."

He looked at Gu Yuan embarrassedly and sighed, "Gu Shangshucheng, where the duty is, you see, I'll go to Lord Qian and Lord Fang's mansion to raise people later, you see Xiaoze's ......."

Gu Yuan sighed lightly and said: "You can mention it as much as you want, I and my insiders will definitely not stop it." ”

He took a deep breath and remembered Ming Yan's words: "Just do the right thing." ”

Mu Jinheng never said a word, and after Lai Junyi left, he held back a sentence for a while: "Teacher, this is the handle in Prime Minister Wang's hand, right?" ”

Gu Yuan sighed and looked up at the sky.

In the spring, there is a lot of rain, and the dark clouds are approaching the tiles, and it is very dark at the beginning of the morning.

Mu Jinheng said: "Does Ming Yan know? ”

Gu Yuansian turned his head to look at him: "Do you believe that Ming Yan cheated?" ”

Mu Jinheng was categorical: "I don't believe it." For more than 20 years, we have treated each other with all sincerity, and it is better to believe that he cheats than to believe that the sky has no eyes. I'm asking, before Ming Yan was in trouble, did he know that Prime Minister Wang Cheng was the backhand? ”

Gu Yuan closed his eyes with a sigh: "He knows." He came to ask me, and I told him. ”

The two of them didn't say anything for a while, but they were deeply sorry for the good friend of Gao.

"Cheating .... Who is it? ”

"Madame Xiang."

Mu Jinheng stopped talking.

He sent Gu Yuansian to the car, and after thinking about it, he said: "Teacher, the master feels uncomfortable when he wants to come, you are so comforted, don't let the master hate Mingyan." ”

Gu Yuan sighed and nodded: "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to see home."

Gu Yuanxi patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, some news is difficult to say, you can always do a good job." ”

In a word, Jin Heng's eyes were hot, and he held back for a long time.

Jin Heng didn't know that the brothers and sisters of the Xiang family had suddenly reconciled, he didn't want Mingjun and Xiang Chun to see Ming Yan's jokes, so he told Ah Fu alone.

Afu was used to the frequent heartaches lately, but she still didn't stand still and sat aside.

"Second brother, why is he different from me.... How can he not say to me!! If I knew anything about him, I wouldn't have told him to go to the first place! My second brother is such a flawless person, this ......." Afu for Mingyan's heartache.

He is the most untainted person, but in this ridiculous way, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever and ever, and will be cited as an after-dinner conversation by people who don't know the inside story and don't learn anything.

And his political achievements are too far away, and too small, not many people in the center of the whirlpool of the court will change their opinion of him because of the praise of the people of Fu'an in the border town.

Jin Heng didn't feel pain in his heart, he didn't care about the so-called top of the list at all, but this was not something that could disappear with his sentence "I don't care as a victim".

In fact, he was even saddened that his paper had won the top spot.

If his roll wins the list, and the volume he holds to Ming Yan wins the top spot, then he will be the one who benefits from this fraud, and Ming Yan will not be on the cusp.......

Jin Heng said: "Sister Fu, Ming Yan is not all for you. Pei's case, no one with a conscience can turn a blind eye, he just did what he had to do. Didn't he read books for so many years to build such a mind? ”

Afu was in great pain, and threw a battle book for Chengyuan Kaimeng next to him on the ground: "What book to read!" What books to read! It's better not to study from the beginning, don't practice martial arts, and live a free life, wouldn't it be better than such a day of life and death! ”

Jin Heng only felt that all the hot blood poured into his brain, and he was dizzy and depressed.

In the past month, everything has been 800 enemy wounds and 1,000 self-inflicted losses. Every revenge comes with a price that cannot be greater.

He hated that he was studying Confucianism, and it was better to learn the power of Guiguzi back then.

He bent down, picked up the book, and flipped through it.

The content is very familiar, and over the years, the books of Enlightenment have not changed much, and they are still the ones that they asked each other to memorize when they were reading with Ming Yan.

He said to Afu and to himself: "Ming Yan must hope that Chengyuan will read this book thoroughly and learn; I also hope you don't be the mother who changes the test papers. ”

Afu tugged at her heart's clothes, her whole body curled up, and tears dripped down the back of her hand.

Jin Heng couldn't hold back any longer, put down the book, and rushed out of the door.

More than half a month later, the emperor finally issued two edicts, and it is estimated that he hesitated for a long time, and everyone was shocked.

First, the king committed the crime of aiding and abetting rebellion and beheaded him, and no one in the family sat together. His eldest son, Wang Muzhi, entered the office as a horse and served as the Minister of Industry.

The second way, headed by Xiang Mingyan, everyone has their own way to deal with the fraud case in the imperial examination. Among them, Xiang Mingyan's position as the county prince of Fu'an was not changed, and he was sentenced to serve in exile and Fu'an for three years, and set off on a later date.

It's not good, it's not bad, but there is no one before or since.

However, no official dared to oppose it, what did he oppose? Do you want to punish the sons and daughters of the king, the Shangshu and the queen?

Or do you want to take away Xiang Mingyan's official position, and then be scolded to death by Gu Yuan, the former doctor of Guozijian?

As soon as this edict came out, Gu Yuansian was simply overjoyed, and rarely set up a small seat in the mansion, and invited Mu Jinheng and Xiang Mingyan, who had just been released from prison.

Theoretically, Xiang Mingyan can't eat everywhere, but of course, no one is idle to sue for this. After staying in prison for more than half a month, his appearance has not diminished, and he is indeed a senior prisoner who came to Shangshu Haosheng to entertain.

The corners of Gu Yuansi's mouth never let go, and Pei Man said angrily: "Filial piety is a first-class official, you are still happy to be like this as a father!" ”

Gu Yuan sighed and laughed: "Eight to nine grades, what's the difference?" ”

Pei Man also thought about it now, and said with a smile: "Okay, you masters and apprentices drink it, I won't bother." ”

Mu Jinheng and Xiang Mingyan hurriedly got up and saluted, and Pei Man went out with a smile.

Jin Heng said with a smile: "It's really good to see that the teacher and the teacher are now singing and singing." ”

Gu Yuan sighed and tasted the wine, and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as seeing people's hearts for a long time." After going through so many things over the years, I think she is also a kind-hearted person. Hold on, you two! ”

The frequency of being urged to marry in Chang'an is really high, the two of them looked as usual, and Ming Yan smiled: "I will take the shackles with me at that time, and see if there are still little girls who will send me flowers along the way." If there is a gift, I will leave! ”

Gu Yuan sighed and laughed: "Okay, good, the girl who sent the flowers is also a discerning person......

Mu Jinheng said angrily: "Buy and return the pearls!" ”

Ming Yan said naughtily: "Teacher, he's still angry that I didn't tell him about this fraud case in advance!" I said, Jin Heng, you really can't bear me so much, just accompany me to Fu'an! ”

Mu Jinheng was even more angry and said, "What are you going to do there?" That's your fiefdom. ”

The two of them, one is young and old, and the other is elegant, that is, they will show such a side in front of each other and the teacher, Gu Yuan sighed and laughed when he saw it, and swept away the gloom of many days.

He sighed with emotion: "The emperor is so tolerant of you!" I don't even get rid of the title, and it is clear that I want to be kind to you outside the law. ”

Ming Yan said: "I guess you are still willing to let me manage Fu'an, right?" ”

Gu Yuan sighed and said: "This is not suitable, but the Ministry of Officials has recently prepared to send the Western Zhejiang Observation Envoy Wang Chuzhi to Western Sichuan as the governor, and Xu is will also serve as the county guard of Fu'an." ”

Jin Heng and Ming Yan looked at each other, both of them were surprised. Chu Zhi is Mu Zhi Ningzhi's younger brother, and he has been outside for many years, so he doesn't have much personal friendship with the two, but according to Ning Zhi, Chu Zhi is also a free and easy person, and he will definitely be able to make friends.

This is the end of the matter, and it is a relief for everyone. Gu Yuanxi was a little drunk, and Ming Yan was even more drunk.

Jin Heng was left sober, and suddenly remembered one thing: "I read the report two days ago, saying that Ji Heng had set off for Chang'an last month......

Actually no one responded, Jin Heng looked at it, Ming Yan was sleeping in Zhengxiang, Gu Yuan sighed and smiled with his eyes closed, not knowing what poem he was reading.

Jin Heng raised the wine in his glass and couldn't help laughing.

That's nice.
