This time, all the papers of the arithmetic exam were invalidated, and those who registered had to retake the exam on another day, and the number of candidates who took the second exam was significantly smaller than the previous one, and many of them were frightened by what happened in the examination room that day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for those guys who were caught red-handed, they were even more unlucky, they were robbed of all their fame by the imperial court, and ordered to be barred from taking the examination for life, this is still Li You's open side, otherwise according to the old laws of the Great Wei, not only themselves, but even their descendants within three generations will lose their qualifications to participate in the imperial examination.

But after all, they still left a life, and they were released from the prison after truthfully confessing, and those officials who participated in the fraud of the imperial examination did not have such good luck, from Qi Huizhi to Yan Sihui, Zeng Xianze, and then to those examiners and officials who were responsible for the execution, the gunmen and errands who responded outside were all arrested and brought to justice, under the supervision of Yao Guangxiao, the three law divisions did not dare to delay, and they were punished with the highest punishment in accordance with the law.

Yan Sihui and Zeng Xianze, the two officials who planned and led the matter, were pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded, and their family property was confiscated, and their relatives were exiled 3,000 miles away and could not return for the rest of their lives; Although Qi Huizhi was not directly involved in this matter, he did not report it to the imperial court after hearing about their plan, and was also deprived of his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which had not been in office for a long time.

Zhu Wenshan, the inspector who delivered the answers, was exempted from the punishment of beheading and hanged because of his meritorious report, so he left a whole corpse, and his family was also preserved.

The remaining officials, gunners, and errands were the same as Yan Sihui and Zeng Xianze, all dragged out of the noon gate and beheaded, and the whole family was exiled 3,000 miles away.

However, the people in Shilin did not have any sympathy for them, whether it was those candidates who participated in the imperial examination, students from all over the country or Confucianism, they all hated these guys who presided over the fraud in the imperial examination, after all, no one wanted to see themselves study hard for ten years, but in the end they fell short because of the unruliness of some people.

Especially those scholars who participated in this scientific examination but finally failed to make the list, they are even more scolded, people are always used to making an excuse for their failure, and Yan Sihui and others have made such a big case and affected their mood, so that not playing well in the examination room has become the choice of almost everyone.

Those who thought more far-reaching about Confucianism were even more worried after hearing that Yan Sihui and others were not angry that the number of places in the Shike was getting smaller and smaller, and they were even more worried about Confucianism, and the Taiwei who was originally in charge of the government had quite an opinion on Confucianism, but now that Yan Sihui and others have done such a thing, I am afraid that the future of Confucianism will become more and more bad in the future.

Fortunately, Li You quickly issued an edict in the name of King Fu, announcing that this matter was only the sin of Yan Sihui and others, and did not intend to involve all Confucian scholars, and made a guarantee that the next imperial examination would still determine the number of admissions for each subject according to the previous method, and would not deliberately reduce the number of admissions for Jinshi.

Now those scholars are a little relieved, and some people are still starting to rejoice, this time there are suddenly so many officials from the Jinshi Department in the court, so will the number of Jinshi admissions increase next time?

Even if there are disgruntled people, most of them throw their grievances on Yao Guangxiao, who presided over this big case, Yao Guangxiao treated those criminals so harshly and blocked a lot of firepower for Li You, and finally Li You came forward to forgive Zhu Wenshan and the candidates involved in the case, and promised that he would not be able to reduce the number of admission places in Jinshi and other means also won him a lot of Confucianism's favor.

And just when the world's scholars have many accusations against Yao Guangxiao, he is still playing Go leisurely with people in the temple where he lives, and he has not been affected at all.

"Is it worth it for the master to do these things?" Qi Huizhi looked up at Yao Guangxiao and asked, in this matter, Yao Guangxiao carried all the black pots for Li You, and carried many evaluations such as harshness and cruelty by himself, leaving Li You with beautiful words such as leniency and generosity.

"Is it worth it, sir?" Yao Guangxiao asked rhetorically, "Although the poor monk has been scolded a lot, his official position has not been affected in the slightest, and because of this matter, he has been paid more and more attention by Lord Taiwei, on the other hand, Mr. Qi has gained nothing, not only lost his official position, but his reputation in Shilin has also been greatly affected, even if he wants to make a comeback in the future, it will be impossible." ”

"Hehe, when Mr. Sima sent someone to find me that day, I didn't think that I could return safely, and now not only has my life been saved, but even my family has been saved, what else am I not satisfied with?" No wonder Yao Guangxiao didn't stop Qi Huizhi from taking office as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it turned out that he was a member of the Black Ice Platform.

"Mr. Qi and I have made great contributions to Jiazhou." Yao Guangxiao does not like to refer to himself as Da Wei, "Although Mr. Qi's merits cannot be made public, and he can no longer serve as an important minister of the imperial court, if Mr. Qi has other needs, the poor monk will still try his best to meet them." ”

Because of Qi Huizhi, Li You's last obstacle in the court was swept away, and now the court is really in Li You's hands, and Yao Guangxiao will naturally not hesitate to give Qi Hui's reward.

"The old man has endured the humiliation so far, but he just wants to wait until Lord Taiwei completely destroys the northern captives, and he doesn't want anything else." Speaking of this, Qi Huizhi hesitated slightly, "Although the old man understands that Lord Taiwei has a lot of prejudices against my Confucians, the old man still thinks that a Confucianism is still useful, so if Master Yao is not troublesome, I don't know if the old man can be allowed to enter the Jiazhou University Hall to teach and study?" Let's see if we can find a new way. ”

"Confucianism has its own reason for stretching for thousands of years, and Lord Taiwei does not want to completely eradicate Confucianism, but just wants to get rid of the dross accumulated in the previous thousand years. Yao Guangxiao explained first, which was also the result of his discussions with Li You and others.

"In that case, the old man has nothing else to ask for." Qi Huizhi thanked him, "Then the old man will stay in Jiazhou City and wait for the day when Lord Taiwei recovers the capital, and by the way, cultivate a group of talents for Lord Taiwei." ”

"There's Mr. Lauzzi." Yao Guangxiao thanked each other, the two looked at each other and smiled, and refocused on the game in progress, Yao Guangxiao reached out and picked up a chess piece, which landed on the southeast of the lacquer plate. (To be continued.) )
