The demon in her heart finally put away her fangs and disappeared, her hand, which was trembling due to struggle, regained its stability again, and when Zhu Jinyu walked in front of her, she began to answer the question word by word.

The day flies very quickly, you can't bring your own dry food when you enter the palace, and the palace only provides tea, and at dusk, there are palace people ringing the bell outside the palace, and Qu Qingyan only has the last paragraph to write.

She hadn't eaten all day, and she was afraid that she hadn't even drunk water, so she looked up at the sky outside the window and felt a little anxious.

Most of the people in the hall had already handed in the exam papers and left, even Qu Qingwen had already put his pen to check the exam papers.

Qu Qingyan closed her eyes, and in the second half of the exam paper, she couldn't write the content of singing praises to virtue after all, and as soon as the conversation turned, she vaguely mentioned the matter of King Yu's accession.

King Chengzu raised an army to seize the world of the emperor's nephew, and this history fell in the annals of history like a reminder of how the emperors of later dynasties should treat the vassal kings.

Zhu Jinyu's scruples naturally have his reasons, and his precautions against Zhu Jinrui are also reasonable, but he ignores one thing, that is, Emperor Jing is in his prime.

When Emperor Jing felt that everything was controllable and did not exceed his estimates, Zhu Jinyu repeatedly showed his scruples and precautions, which was afraid that he had already committed Emperor Jing's taboo.

Qu Qingyan didn't know whose position he was standing on, and only portrayed Emperor Jing's inner feelings word by word.

The sun outside the hall was stingy and began to put away its light, she hung her head and wrote the last sentence, and when she raised her eyes after writing the three words "Chen Zhen right", she saw Zhu Jinyu standing in front of her again at some point, looking at her exam papers uncertainly.

Qu Qingyan hurriedly put down the pen and got up to salute.

With a cold snort, Zhu Jinyu glanced at him and waved his sleeves away.

Qu Qingyan dropped his arm, clenched his fists, and waited for the ink in the test paper to dry and hurriedly handed in the test paper.

She didn't forget to look at the hall before putting away her things and going out, fortunately, there were a few people behind, and she was not the latest.

Qu Qingwen handed in the exam papers and was taken out of the palace, and the two brothers went out of the middle and left gate and then out of the Donghua gate, and got into the carriage in the house.

The two of them leaned on the carriage one left and one right, and they were exhausted from answering questions all day.

In the side hall of the palace, after all the candidates handed in the examination papers, Gu Enyang took out Zong Zirong's examination papers from them and went straight to the Wuying Palace.

On the day of the palace test, although Emperor Jing attached great importance to it, he had to approve the excerpts and deal with government affairs, and he still had no time to spare.

At this time, Zhang Qianyuan and several pavilion elders were discussing taxes with Emperor Jing in the palace.

Gu Enyang was led into the hall by the palace people, but he didn't expect Zhang Qianyuan and Zhou Zeting to be here, but he was already ready to send here.

He lifted his court clothes and knelt in front of Emperor Jing with a pop, and the recital in Emperor Jing's hand couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Aiqing got up and replied.

Gu Enyang took out the two exam papers from his sleeves and raised them above his head with both hands.

"The minister is guilty."

"What's going on?"

Gonggong Liu, who was beside Emperor Jing, stepped forward to take the test paper he handed over, Emperor Jing hesitated to unfold the test paper, only glanced at it twice, but found no abnormality at all.

"The minister is guilty, he is a newcomer to His Majesty, and some candidates cheated in the Tribute Academy, but the minister only knew about it after the list was released."

He knelt on the ground and stated the matter in a calm voice, Emperor Jing had already seen the names on the frontispieces of the two test papers, the same name and different handwriting, at least one of them was ghostwritten......

"What the hell is going on?"

This kind of scientific examination fraud has always been difficult to suppress, whether it is leaking test questions before the examination or colluding with the examiner or bribing candidates in the examination room, these things will not appear in every subject, but they are also commonplace.

When things that shouldn't happen become the norm, people's mindsets change with them.

For example, although Emperor Jing had anger in his heart at this time, he did not reach the point where the Son of Heaven was angry and floated for thousands of miles.

In Emperor Jing's opinion, Gu Enyang should also be regarded as an old fritter in officialdom, but he is just a person who cheats, and he will deal with it privately, so why do you have to stab him here.

"Back to Your Majesty, this candidate is the Yuan of the current department, and the minister does not dare to make his own decisions, and the minister has only found out that this person is cheating, but I don't know if there is anyone so bold among the more than 100 tributes."

Emperor Jing's brows furrowed slightly, "What does Aiqing think?" ”

"The minister is guilty." Gu Enyang only had his head next to the cold floor tiles, and he didn't say a word anymore.

Emperor Jing threw the roll paper on the bookcase, and swept at Zhang Qianyuan and the others with cold eyes: "What should you do at this time?" ”

Where is this kind of muddy water to wade at this moment, Zhang Qianyuan learned from Gu Enyang's appearance and knelt on the ground, without saying a word.

Two old foxes!

Emperor Jing scolded in his heart.

"This matter will be handed over to Gu Aiqing to investigate, and after two days, the temple will be elected, and I will only give you two days."

Gu Enyang's heart was relieved, and he was only busy thanking.

"Lord Gu, although this official is not in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but as the first assistant of the cabinet, he wants to transfer one or two examination papers, but he also has the authority, and he happened to encounter this matter today, if Lord Gu needs help, this official should help him."

Gu Enyang has been standing still, and after Zhang Qianyuan and Qu Wenhai repeatedly discussed it several times, they all felt that he was waiting for the palace test.

The palace exam is answered in front of everyone, and there are many eyeliners in the palace, and Zong Zirong can't find a chance to replace the exam papers, so the palace exam papers will definitely be his own handwriting, if Gu Enyang doesn't want to passively wait for the incident, he will definitely stab Emperor Jing directly at this time after finding such facts.

At that time, relying on such an opportunity, although he will not have merit in this subject, it will be offset by his mistakes.

Several people calculated his thoughts, and Zhang Qianyuan deliberately rushed from the cabinet to Wuying Hall at dusk, and sure enough, he met Gu Enyang here.

Although Gu Enyang's heart is a little complicated, he has to owe this favor now.

"Then thank Master Zhang in advance."

Zhang Qianyuan was happy that Gu Enyang owed him this favor, so he directly explained to his subordinates, and did not go to the Ministry of Rites to find the early years of the township examination papers of this Kegongshi, but only ordered someone to bring his seal to the Ministry of Rites to retrieve the resumes of these more than 100 people.

The resumes are filled in by them in public, and the handwriting cannot be falsified, and it is enough to compare them with the handwriting on the examination papers of the guild examination and the palace examination.

Zhang Qianyuan had already calculated everything early in the morning, and he also greeted him in the Ministry of Rites early in the morning, and when Yang Zhongjie and others received the news, the resume was already in Gu Enyang's hands.

"Lord He, Lord Gu will go to His Majesty to confess as soon as the palace test is over today."

Yang Zhongjie received the news and rushed to the house of He Pingqiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, overnight, that the examination paper of the Zong Zirong Examination was recommended by him, and if the case was really reported by then, most of the charges would fall on his head.

"What's the panic, when this matter was deployed, you and I were already clean, and it was up to them to investigate."

The more he said this, the more cold Yang Zhongjie's heart became, where was this matter to pick up the two of them, obviously only He Pingqiu was clean, he was afraid that he couldn't wash it away.
