Mu Ruiyuan was so angry that he couldn't help coughing again. Wang Xi hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, your body is the most important." ”

Mu Ruiyuan tried to calm himself down, and waved his hand to let the people below retreat. He smiled bitterly and said: "I actually married Yue'er to such a person, the queen is below, she must hate me to death." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, Her Royal Highness the princess is not married yet, and everything is still in time." Wang Xi comforted.

"Yes, fortunately, I haven't married yet. It's just that Yue'er now has a deep love for Zichen that night, and if she divorces, it will be a big blow to her. Mu Ruiyuan sighed.

"If His Highness knew that Night Phase was such a person, he would never like him anymore."

"I hope so."

"Then Your Majesty, can you deal with the night phase now?" Wang Xi asked cautiously.

"Disposition? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. I'm tired now. Mu Ruiyuan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

Wang Xi hurriedly helped Mu Ruiyuan to go in to rest.

The next day, the court.

After the court meeting went on for a while, the ministers finished reporting everything that should be reported. The hall fell silent, and the ministers were also waiting for Mu Ruiyuan to announce his retreat from the court.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ruiyuan said: "Since Zhongqing has nothing to report, it is now my turn." ”

The ministers were slightly shocked, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what medicine is sold in Your Majesty's gourd.

Only Zhao Yan, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Terrace, and Zheng Guofu, the secretary of the ministry, looked clear.

As for the two of them, it was because Zheng Guofu was the chief examiner of the exam that year, and he also told Zhao Yan about it, and Zhao Yan went directly to report it to Mu Ruiyuan.

Zhao Yan is a doctor of imperial history, which is also his duty.

Therefore, in addition to Mu Ruiyuan's secret guard, Zhao Yan is also investigating this matter. And the witness is what he found.

"Here, take these things down and show them to the night phase." Mu Ruiyuan instructed Wang Xi.

Wang Xi respectfully handed it over to Ye Zichen. A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Zichen's eyes, and he quickly read these case files.

And after he read it, he didn't panic in the slightest, and his expression was still indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. But he couldn't help sneering in his heart, it turned out that this was what his good imperial brother had done recently, but did he think that he could be defeated just by relying on this matter?

And Mu Ruiyuan saw his expression, even if he felt resentful of Ye Zichen, he couldn't help but marvel at his courage that Taishan collapsed in front of him and remained unchanged, and at the same time, he was even more angry in his heart. He committed a capital crime, and he could still be dealt with so calmly.

"Night phase, what do you have to say?" Mu Ruiyuan asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is a frame-up." Ye Zichen arched his hand and said something that made Mu Ruiyuan dumbfounded. With such ironclad evidence, can he calmly say that he is framed?

"Heh, framed? The evidence is ironclad, and the night phase is not afraid of flashing his tongue. Mu Ruiyuan sneered.

Mu Ruiyuan understands very well that although Ye Zichen doesn't like to talk on weekdays, as long as he opens his mouth, even if it is a few words, he can say that the dead are alive.

Therefore, he didn't allow Ye Zichen to speak, and directly opened his mouth to pronounce the verdict: "Zuo Xiang Ye Zichen, pretending to be someone else's identity, ignoring the rules of the scientific examination, and directly participating in the palace examination, is really a big rebellion to bully the monarch like this." Therefore, he was sent to heaven and was allowed to be retried later. His marriage to Princess Changning was stopped. ”

Ye Zichen didn't defend himself and let the guards take him away. But when the guards came to support him, he avoided it without a trace. The cold aura emanated from his body, making the people around him seem to be in an ice cellar, and the guards did not dare to touch him, allowing him to walk out on his own.

After dealing with Ye Zichen, Mu Ruiyuan pointed the finger at the Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for presiding over the imperial examination, and the first to bear the brunt was Shangshu Zhou Tao.

"Zhou Tao, you didn't even find out that there was such a big mistake in the imperial examination you presided over back then, how did you take office!"

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, but Wei Chen was also cautious in the matter of the imperial examination back then, but he didn't find such a thing." Zhou Tao hurriedly kowtowed.

"That's your dereliction of duty!" Mu Ruiyuan accused, "After I finish cooking Ye Zichen, I'll settle this account for you!" Retreat. ”

Mu Ruiyuan went straight back to the inner palace.

Zhou Tao is simply crying without tears, he has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he has presided over every scientific examination, he dares to say that he has checked and checked every link of the scientific examination, and confirmed that there is no mistake, how can such a big thing happen under his nose?

Zhou Tao hurriedly found Zheng Guofu, "Isn't Lord Zheng the chief examiner of the exam that year?" Why didn't you find out that the person you took the temple exam and the conference exam were not the same person, and even the name and age were different? ”

"As soon as the annual examination was over, I asked Your Majesty for leave when something happened to my family, how did I know about the palace examination? And there are a lot of people who take the exam, how can I write down their names and faces one by one? And as a person who manages scientific research, didn't Master Zhou not find out about this? Zheng Guofu asked.

Zhou Tao wanted to say something more, but Zheng Guofu didn't give him a chance to speak: "The official still has something to do, take a step forward and leave." ”

Zhou Tao looked at his departing back, and could only swallow the bitter fruit by himself.

When the other ministers heard the news, they were all shocked, and it was like a bolt from the blue. Unexpectedly, Lord Zuo, who is bright and beautiful on weekdays, is actually a fake identity of someone else, which quickly subverts their cognition.

However, many people sighed that Zichen was really powerful this night, and he didn't take the township test and the general exam, so he went directly to the palace to take the test. At that time, he was only fifteen years old, and he was able to hide from the world for so many years, and he also sat in the position of Zuo Xiang step by step, and he was really the first person in ancient times.

And Zhao Yan's eyes couldn't hide the happiness, Ye Zichen, you are finally going to be unlucky. I wonder if you thought about today when you brutally executed my son?

Zhao Yan and Ye Zichen have personal grudges, but no one in the court knows about this, including Mu Ruiyuan.

Zhao Yan's wife is the county lord of Qingping, the sister of the Duke of Yasukuni, and Zhao Yan can get his current position, and a large part of the credit should belong to his wife. Therefore, Zhao Yan did not dare to offend her at all because of her strong family background. And this Qingping county lord is a jealous person, and he will never tolerate his husband taking a concubine.

In the early years, when she was newly married to Yan'er, Zhao Yan endured it, not to mention that the county lord of Qingping was also a talented and beautiful woman. But Zhao Yan is a merry person after all, how can he endure living with a woman for so many years?

Since you can't take a concubine openly, you can only come secretly. So, he secretly raised several outer chambers outside, and one of them gave birth to a son for him, but he did not dare to bring it back.

Because he hid it very well, the county lord of Qingping didn't find out for many years, so he was still safe.

When his illegitimate son was fifteen years old, the county lord of Qingping finally died, and he could finally take his son back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. But at this time, his son was beheaded on the street because he had no eyes to provoke Ye Zichen.

At that time, he didn't even dare to cry, let alone come forward to recognize him, so he could only be heartbroken in secret.

After that, he secretly swore that he must let Ye Zichen pay for his blood debts.

However, Ye Zichen's work is too leaky, and he has used his authority to constantly find Ye Zichen's faults over the years, but he can't find anything, which makes him very frustrated.

Fortunately, Zheng Guofu came to tell him this amazing news, which gave him a chance to bring down Ye Zichen.

Now, he can finally avenge his son, and at the same time, he can be regarded as clearing an obstacle for his brother-in-law Yasukuni.

Although the county lord of Qingping is dead, there is still some affection.

Zhao Yan walked up to Han Jian, "Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, now that Zichen has fallen this night, this court is your world again." ”

Han Jian glanced at him and said, "Do you really think this thing can defeat Ye Zichen?" ”

Zhao Yan was surprised: "The evidence is ironclad, can Ye Zichen still overturn this case?" And His Majesty has ordered Ye Zichen and Princess Changning to withdraw from the marriage, and now that His Majesty has been disappointed in Ye Zichen to the end, how can he turn over? ”

"That's because you underestimated Ye Zichen." Han Jian didn't want to talk to him too much, so he turned around and left.

Han Jian thought that he still had some scheming, but he and Ye Zichen had been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, but he never understood him, and today Ye Zichen in the court can be so calm, he expects that Ye Zichen will not fall this time.

But it didn't have much to do with him. Of course, he knew that Ye Zichen was the person arranged by His Majesty to share power with him, but he didn't care, the people of their Yasukuni Mansion were still very controllable in their desire for power, so for so many years, the family fell one after another, and only the Yasukuni Mansion could still stand in peace and stability.

However, now Su Su wants to marry King Hao, which makes him a little worried, although he doesn't want Han Susu to marry into the royal family, but he doesn't want to interfere with Han Susu's own choice, as long as his daughter feels happy, it's just a little uncertain what His Majesty will think.

And Zhao Yan listened to Han Jian's words, and was a little shocked, but he secretly comforted himself, Han Jian just looked too highly at Ye Zichen, and now in this situation, how could Ye Zichen be fine?
