I salivated and said, "Just talk to me, I think listening to real people is more interesting than watching a playbook."

He looked at me with blazing eyes, as if trying to find something strange in my face, and I looked away uncomfortably, as if deliberately avoiding it, not daring to look at him.

I swear, I didn't use this as an excuse to say more to him, just to satisfy my curiosity.

Because these days are so boring.

Recently, the DPRK and China have been quite uneasy, and the turmoil caused by Wu Wangyan's attack on the national examination system has not subsided for a long time, and it is very serious. I've heard a little about it, but I've only heard a rough idea, and I haven't figured out the cause of the incident.

"You haven't seen me for so long, you just want to hear stories." Changji was so tall that I could only reach his shoulder on tiptoe, and it was quite difficult for me to face him and look up at him. He was condescending, and his voice seemed to come from the opposite hill.

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Otherwise?"

He sighed, turned around, I thought he was still leaving, so I hurriedly ran in front of him and stretched out my arms to stop him, raised my chin, and commanded him unashamedly: "Don't go, you haven't told me these funny things, you are not allowed to go."

He was stunned, pointed to the chair in front of him, and smiled dumbly: "I just want to go over and sit, after all, if I stand for a long time, my legs will be sore."

I pulled the corners of my mouth in embarrassment and quickly stepped out of the way. Suddenly, he reacted again, and he promised to tell me a story, so he immediately ran over with a smile and brought a stool to wait for listening, and thoughtfully prepared a cup of fragrant tea for him.

Since returning from the Wuji Palace, Wu Lao Tongsheng seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared inexplicably. People speculated that he must have been assassinated because he had offended a high-ranking official. Although it was not clearly said who the high-ranking officials were, the voices of criticism were all insinuating that the king of Anyang was implied.

When the rumors reached the ears of the Southern Emperor, the old man was very angry, and repeatedly reprimanded in public those officials who asked for the provincial inspection of the king of Anyang, and it seemed that he did not plan to pursue the matter of this year's spring leak and the sale of official positions by the king of Anyang. But when it came, Emperor Nan sent Jin Wuwei to search for Wu Wang's traces in the city, and he was bound to find people. On the surface, it seems that he is maintaining the reputation of King Anyang, but he always feels that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

A few days later, someone in the Zhengchuan County Government beat a drum to report to the official, saying that Wu Wang had been found in the backyard of the White Dragon Temple on the outskirts of the city. When Jin Wuwei arrived, he was already dead, with no wounds on his body, but his face was hideous, and his death was extremely ugly.

There is no doubt that this was poisoned.

The Southern Emperor was furious, and successively used the Yushitai and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case.

After the Dali Temple, it was not only found that in recent years, the ministers manipulated the imperial examination, secretly changed the candidates' answer sheets, and disrupted the selection system; It also involved them in embezzlement and bribery, enriching their own pockets and amassing wealth on a large scale; What's more, he has been involved in multiple murders.

All the officials who were suspected of being suspicious began to panic one by two.

Originally, buying and selling officials was not a big deal, if it weren't for Wu Wang's inscription in front of the poetry building, facing the saint in the court, who would have thought of exploring the doorway between the imperial examination and the selection of officials. Those who have money want power, those who have power want money, everyone takes what they need, and it is really not worth mentioning if you see through it without saying it. As the king of Anyang, who presided over the Spring and Autumn Period over the years, of course, it is impossible to be unaware of the cheating in the students' examination room, the stealing of answer sheets, and the sale of official titles by his subordinates, most of them are also conniving, after all, what is sold is a petty official, and what is recovered is a huge fortune, and it is his own henchmen who collect money for him, and he does not need to come forward, why not.

It's just that he didn't expect that Wu Wang's inscription poem would cause a storm in the city and attract the attention of Nandi.

Over the years, the three kings of Nanzhan have been neck and neck, sharing power, and Nandi is naturally vigilant, and I am afraid that he has long been willing to rectify it.

Among the three kings, the strongest King Yong has married the royal family, and he is a relative of the crown prince, so don't worry; The king of Qingyang is cautious, does not show his corners, and is not afraid; Only this King of Anyang, who is sharp and has never known restraint, is bound to be suspicious of the emperor. Now that the Southern Emperor is investigating the file with great fanfare for this "trivial matter", it seems that he is going to attack him.

All the courtiers who got their hands on this spring meeting test, everyone was in danger, they were afraid of finding out their heads, and they were eager to clear up their relationship with King Anyang, but they put on a look of ignorance.

Wu Wang's tragic death made thousands of poor students indignant, gathered to denounce the Gongyuan, and jointly wrote a letter to the imperial court to severely punish the murderers, rectify the imperial examination system, and deal with the examiners who took bribes. There are even those who behave radically, and they directly went to Tai Academy and Gongyuan to make trouble, injuring many people.

Among these demonstrators, some of them sincerely complained about Wu Wang's grievances and advocated justice; There are also some people who are resistant to the imperial examination and want to take this opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction; But more of them are incompetent Xiaoxiao, deliberately taking advantage of this case to cause trouble, and most of these people are wine bags and rice bags who have no real talent and have tried and failed. They made trouble, just to watch the excitement.

For whatever purpose, this farce will not end for a while.

As for who is the murderer of Wu Wang, without a clear investigation, the suspects are all suspicious of each other.

As the chief examiner, and the king of Anyang, who had a quarrel with Wu Wang in the court that day, no one dared to point out because of his status and power.

And Ouyang Chongrong, who was the official of this Spring Festival, bore the brunt of the criticism and became the first object of suspicion and was pushed to the forefront.

I heard that he has a cousin named Ouyang Yin, who is a side branch of Ouyang's room, and his family has been in business for generations, and he is very wealthy.

The rich people who are engaged in business lack nothing, but lack of power, and having money and power is the lifelong pursuit of people.

But for some reason, his cousin was hot-headed or what to say, and suddenly said that he was not an official who could not be bought, and wanted to pass his own imperial examination, only in this way can he climb to the top of the political arena. After all, when a county order the size of a sesame seed is far away. Then he made up his mind and resolutely resigned to retake the exam.

From this aspect alone, his cousin is still very far-sighted.

It's just surprising that he still doesn't follow the usual path. The way to retake the exam as a senior official is to buy the examiner and secretly change other people's answer sheets. I have to say that the wine bag rice bag is the wine bag rice bag, in a different way, it is still the rice bag wine bag!

When Changji said this, I couldn't help but ask him: "What does Ouyang Yinyin have to do with Wu Wang, and what does it have to do with Yunkang's father?"

He was silent, hooked his lips and chuckled: "Coincidentally, the paper that the examiner gave Ouyang Yin was actually Wu Wang's."

I was shocked and amazed: "There is such a coincidence. Strictly speaking, Yunkang is not wronged, who called his nephew one of the parties to this official buying incident. Although Wu Laotongsheng has played abnormally eleven times, it does not affect his twelfth abnormal performance. In one fell swoop, ranking fifth in the first list, it is also excellent. What is ironic is that this time the answer sheet was dropped, which made him lose his name to Sun Shan again. It's really a human tragedy, a human tragedy. ”

Changji knocked me on the forehead and said unhappily: "Listen to the story carefully, don't interrupt."

I rubbed my head in pain, "Oh. ”

……

Wu Wang Lao Tong was afraid that he was very confident in his performance this time, so he dared to ask to open the seal and check the volume, this check, sure enough, found the clues, and found that the sample scroll in the tribute courtyard was not from him, I don't know which bullshit article was written without learning and no skills. Therefore, there will be a poem written in front of the Guanhai Tower later, criticizing the imperial examination.

As the person who secretly changed Wu Wang's answer sheet was Ouyang Chongrong's nephew, I expressed my surprise at 120,000 points, after all, he and Huan Yunkang were related to each other, which always made me feel magical.

Ouyang Chongrong originally held the position of Taichangqing, in charge of the temple sacrifices, and did not hold a high position. But the victory is that the family is prosperous, and he is blessed by his father, even if the official position is not high, but he is quite prestigious in the officialdom. And he has been in politics for many years, and he has never been degraded. He was first the companion of the former prince Bailifu, and he was friendly with the prince, and the two had a very strong relationship. After the failure of the Bailifu Palace, the East Palace was slaughtered, and the officials who had close contacts with Bailifu were also suspected by the Southern Emperor, and they were demoted and even punished. And Ouyang Chongrong was not only not implicated, but step by step from Taichangqing to the deputy envoy of the privy council, the governor of political affairs, and then to today's official secretary.

Because he has been Taichangqing for the longest time, he has not been promoted for twelve years, and to this day, people are still used to calling him Taichangqing.

I haven't seen Yunkang's father, I don't know what kind of person he is, but his official reputation is still good, at least he is not a faint official, but how could he allow his family to commit such a thing. Really old and confused?

Now because of the Wu Wang case, the Ouyang family has been inexplicably involved.

The official friends who were good friends with Ouyang Chongrong on weekdays all changed their faces at the moment, and they were anxious to draw a clear line. There are even more people who fall into the well, and they make offerings, saying that he is a traitor because he is willing to speak; abused his power, shielded his nephew, assassinated his son, and committed several crimes, and asked Nandi to convict him.

Although the Southern Emperor did not allow investigation, he did not know what he meant, and seemed to be acquiescing.

Ouyang Chongrong couldn't breathe out, and when he went back, he fell ill, and this illness was more than half a month. Inside and outside the palace, there was a lot of discussion, and there were no sympathizers, but they were all saying that he was pretending to be sick.

The case became more and more intense, so much so that in the later stage, some students wrote poems to insult him, the sentences were spicy, the words were unbearable, and they were very hurtful, and they were also posted on the door of Taichangqing's mansion.

The old lady of the Ouyang family heard that his grandson was involved in a murder case, and even his son was suspected by the Southern Emperor, so he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.

may be because he is old, his physical strength is exhausted, and his speech seems to be lacking in energy; In addition, there is not much left of the old teeth, and the speech is leaky, and it is even more deterrent to scolding people. In short, no one listened to his explanation, but scolded more and more.

Old lady Ouyang, as a famous general in Nanzhan, was galloping on the battlefield back then, invincible, and when did he suffer such a gas. He was already a fierce man, and because he couldn't stand such slander, he became ill with worries, so that the medicine was ineffective, and soon his obituary was issued.
