According to Chu Ye and Sima Jin's original plan, Lord Cao of the Ministry of Officials is the most upright, and he is neither a faction of the Great Prince nor a party of the Five Princes. For him to raise this matter, it would not only lower the vigilance of those behind the scenes, but also make the emperor pay attention to the matter, rather than reducing it to partisanship.

But who knows, someone suddenly ran out and cut off his beard!

Chu Ye is not a vegetarian, she and Sima Jin took the risk to put on such a big picture, if they can't get half a little good, wouldn't it be a big loss!

She was thinking about it when she saw that Sima Rong had already entered the main hall. He first knelt down to the emperor and saluted, and then replied: "Back to my father, my son's retainer was sick at home today, but Jingzhao Yin's Mansion suddenly caught his head, saying that Liu Hanlin had confessed, saying that the mastermind behind this scene was his son!" ”

As soon as Sima Rong said this, the entire court couldn't help but tremble.

The fifth prince actually admitted that he was the mastermind behind the imperial examination fraud case above the court, which is big news!

Not only the big people in the hall, but even the gossip fire in the hearts of the little eunuch leaning against the door was burning.

The emperor in the high place couldn't help frowning, and he said coldly, "Old Five, you came today, could it be that you confessed your sins?" ”

Chu Ye narrowed her eyes, she didn't think that the emperor really believed Sima Rong's words. How can there be a person with no brains in this court, since Sima Rong dares to say such a thing, there must be a follow-up move.

If he bites the eldest prince and makes the emperor think that this matter is related to the party dispute, wouldn't it be in vain for her and Sima Jin to do their efforts!

Really!

Sima Rong kowtowed heavily, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of grievances, and his face also had a pitiful expression.

"Father, the son is wronged!" He clenched his teeth, his eyes red, as if he had been greatly wronged. "Erchen has always kept to himself, and after the opening of the mansion, even the subordinates in the mansion were strictly disciplined, how could he do such a wrong thing that harmed the government. Please see it! ”

The sound of discussion sounded again in the courtroom. Some people say that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is indeed thrifty and dedicated to the country, so he will not commit such heinous crimes. Some people also say that Sima Rong took candied fruit orally, pretending to be self-denying and dedicating himself to the public, and he didn't know how much wealth he had collected behind his back. But Chu Ye didn't care.

She only knew that the fruits of her labor were about to be snatched away!

She coughed lightly and took a step forward with the wat board.

"Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince said is very true. Etiquette is a major matter of the country, how can it not be pursued because a small soldier confesses his guilt? Liu Hanlin is just a five-grade Hanlin bachelor, how can he really promote these lifters to the court. If he has such ability, why doesn't he help himself first? ”

Although Sima Rong didn't know why Chu Ye opened his mouth to help, he also hurriedly said, "What Chu Shangshu said is very true! The retainers are upright and sit upright, so they are naturally not afraid of the sewage poured on the retainers by people with a heart, but they can't stand the fact that the people of the world think that the retainers are not right, and ask the father to return the retainers to a clean slate! ”

As Sima Rong's uncle, Fang Hongkuang was inconvenient to speak at this time, but it did not prevent other ministers of Sima Rong's party from stepping forward to say something for him, and by the way, he poured dirty water on Sima Cheng's body.

But how could the people of Sima Cheng's party be willing to see these things of unknown origin being poured on their masters, and they immediately stood up and scolded those people for having no evidence and biting indiscriminately.

The emperor looked at the high platform from a distance, looked at his courtiers, and swore to defend his son, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Chu Ye peeked at the emperor's increasingly gloomy face, and knew that his plan had succeeded.

He didn't want the emperor to count this matter in the party struggle, but the appearance of Sima Rong made this matter closer and closer. Then she will expand this matter, the infighting between the two princes, the emperor can turn a blind eye because of his kindness, and the struggle of several courtiers, the emperor will also be lightly punished because he wants to protect his son, but what if this scope is expanded to the entire court?

The emperor watched with his own eyes the courtiers he trusted, and the princes blushed and quarreled for the sake of others, even if they supported their own sons!

He's not dead yet!

The quarrels of the courtiers became louder and louder, and the court hall of Miyagi was suddenly even more chaotic than the vegetable market outside the palace.

The emperor slapped the startled wood heavily and shouted, "Enough! ”

The voices of the courtiers stopped abruptly.

Only then did Fang Hongkuang realize that the emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying. They've been tricked!

He immediately glared at Cao Wenwen, if this person hadn't mentioned this matter, how could things have developed like this?

Cao Wenwen glared back without fear.

He didn't form a party, Fang Hongkuang looked at him like this, wasn't it just for that stupid nephew in his family? In this way, I am afraid that this year's case of etiquette fraud will be picked up again and put down gently. Cao Wenwen sighed in his heart.

Chu Ye stirred up a puddle of troubled water, but in the end, he still retreated. If it weren't for the court, Sima Jin couldn't wait to stand upside down and clap for Chu Ye!

"Have you had enough of the noise?" The emperor's voice was full of majesty, and the ministers of the court and the central government were shocked.

Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed in unison: "Weichen (Erchen) doesn't dare!" ”

"Don't dare?" The emperor laughed angrily and asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid that you people don't have me as the emperor in your eyes!" ”

These words are really heart-wrenching, and the courtiers bow their heads to the ground! There were also those who wanted to explain something, but the emperor did not give them this opportunity.

He spoke majestically: "Cao Qing! ”

Cao Wenwen was shocked, could it be ......

The emperor's next words really followed his heart, and he only heard the emperor say: "Etiquette is the most important thing in selecting talents for the country, and I will never allow such things as bribery and fraud." But since it has happened, someone has exploded, and I have to investigate! ”

Cao Wenwen should have bowed down, but his upright temperament made him keep asking: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and Weichen is afraid that the person behind Liu Hanlin is not small......

"Who else in this world can be so big that I can't do it!" The emperor snorted coldly, his words filled with anger. But as soon as these words came out, they didn't make Cao Wenwen have any fear.

Since the emperor opened his mouth to say such a thing, it means that the emperor's heart to investigate this matter must be very firm!

Before Cao Wenwen could bow his head and thank him, he heard the emperor speak again: "If Cao Qing is worried, I will give you a sword of Shang Fang, and give you the right to cut first and then play!" ”

That's a great thing!

Cao Wenwen was originally worried that his official position was not high, if he really found out any princely and high-ranking officials, and the other party used his official position to oppress people, he was helpless. But if there is the emperor's Shang Fang sword, there is anyone in this imperial capital that he can't find!

Even Chu Ye never thought that the emperor would make such a big determination. She was even happier!

If she could really catch a big fish, those staff in Sima Jin's mansion would definitely not dare to underestimate her again.

The emperor was also relieved when he gave the order. He glanced at his two sons in the audience and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Chrysostom has come out, even if he finds out about them, he can't protect them!

However, his indulgence in the past few years has also fattened the courage of these two people and the Fang and Li families, since he stretched out his hand to his court, then don't blame him. Whoever stretches out, he cuts it off!

"Retreat." The emperor said softly, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he said to Chu Ye, who was about to salute, "Chu Qing comes with me...... Xiao Qi also come、"

Chu Ye's body stiffened, and he gritted his teeth.

"Retreat."

The little eunuch's thin voice echoed in the hall again.

The ministers who had dispersed looked at the thin back behind the emperor, and their faces were no different, but their hearts were full of jealousy.

This Chu Ye has only been in office for a few days, and he has been left in the imperial study again and again to discuss things, but he can be regarded as the emperor's favorite ministers, can they not be jealous?

It seems that in the future, I will have to think more of a way for him! A few people with small official positions immediately began to think about it in their hearts.

But how did they know the pain in Chu Ye's heart.

When passing by Sima Jin, Chu Ye glared at the latter fiercely.

Sima Jin blinked innocently, then walked towards the apse with Chu Ye with a smile.
