Chapter 358: Fraud Case (Fifth Update)
Liu Jin was slapped by Zhu Houzhao, and the tea cup in his hand suddenly trembled, and the hot tea in it splashed out, making Liu Jin teary-eyed, but Zhu Houzhao said with great interest: "Liu Companion, do you know that Ye Chunqiu is coming to Beijing, um...... At this time, he was only afraid that he would have to worship the saint Confucius in Nanjing, oh, and the banquet of Wei Guogong, and then ...... Most of the time it will be delayed for a few days, but presumably he will leave soon, Liu Banban, this kid is finally coming. β
Liu Jin was busy putting the tea cup on the imperial case, with a smile on his face, well, the tears of laughter came out: "Your Majesty's Hongfu Qitian, no, it is Ye Chunqiu who has stained His Majesty's Hongfu, otherwise, how can it be named on the gold list." β
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "You don't know, this Ye Chunqiu, the middle is Huiyuan, it's amazing, I think it's strange, obviously he is the same as me, he is a general's material, he has to go to the imperial examination, but this kid is even very powerful in the imperial examination, do you know Huiyuan?" Very powerful, I first taught me literacy in the Zhan Mansion among the masters, one of them was Huiyuan, my father also said at that time, saying that this person is very knowledgeable, let me learn from him, it is considered enlightenment, and then he said, this person is the Huiyuan of the Xin Chouke in the twelfth year of Chenghua, when my father said this, he was very respectful, of course...... He is a little worse than Master Wang. Ay...... I told you that you don't understand, you haven't read anything, you've only learned words in the inner study hall for a year, right, you won't understand. β
Liu Jin was about to burst into tears, in his heart, his education level was much higher than Zhu Houzhao's.
saw Zhu Houzhao with his hands behind his back and continued: "So...... The most important thing in this study is to find a good teacher, naturally, what about your inner study hall, and the one who teaches your homework is also Hanlin, but my teacher is Master Wang, and I just said that famous teachers produce high apprentices, and this is the truth. β
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is only nine buckets, full ......of righteousness," Liu Jin said sourly.
Zhu Houzhao cheered up, sat back on the case, and began to bury his head in looking at the recital on the case, although he likes to play, but some important recitals dare not look at it, a few days ago he was always fascinated, but now he calmed down: "Liu Companion, you go to the celebrant supervisor, I will take a look at the recital." Spring and Autumn is about to come to Beijing, and my heart has been settled. β
Liu Jin said with a smile: "The slave is gone." β
Liu Jin walked out of the warm pavilion slowly, but saw the dark clouds rolling outside, as if there was a spring rain about to fall, suddenly lightning flashed in the distance, and a thunder sounded on the ground, the smile on Liu Jin's face had not yet dispersed, but he muttered to himself: "Oh, Ye Chunqiu has entered Beijing?" Your Majesty, he can't enter Beijing. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the city of Beijing, many candidates who rushed to take the exam have not dispersed, but at this time, someone arrived at the Yatang of the Ministry of Officials, which is where the officials are located, and is the head of the six departments, and the status is the most noble.
The man was pacing back and forth outside, looking a little hesitant, and was immediately noticed by the officer outside, who stepped forward with a knife and said sharply, "Who are you, and why do you stop here?" β
This person was wearing a scarf on his head, and at first glance he was a scholar, and when he saw the interrogation of the officer, he finally seemed to have made up his mind, and he actually knelt down: "Yao Zheng, a person from Beizhili, came from Nanjing in the starry night, and came to expose the Nanbang fraud case. β
The officer's face had changed.
They suddenly thought of the past of the twelfth year of Hongzhi, that year, it was also the year that Nanbang was exposed to the cheating case, for a time the government and the opposition were shaken, the Son of Heaven was furious, the cabinet and the six ministries urged the investigation day and night, and finally connected countless people.
And now......
He didn't dare to slack off, the imperial examination was a great ceremony for talents, and it was likened to the most important thing in the imperial court, and if there was any possible exposure, even if it was just a crazy person, no one would dare to wait.
He immediately said, "You are waiting here, and I will report it immediately." β
After a short time, this person was escorted to the public hall of Zhang Cai, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, and dozens of officials and officials of the Ministry of Officials were witnessing, and they saw that this Ministry of Justice had a gloomy face, staring at the person who came, and the other officials of the Ministry were all silent.
Everybody knows it...... Something is wrong!
The voice of the visitor resounded in the lobby: "The student is Yao Zheng, who is the head examiner of the South List, Yao Zheng, and is the friend of He Mao, the chief examiner of the South List, the student is a big matter, and he does not dare to hide it, because he noticed something strange, and after the list was released, he rushed to the Beijing ...... in the starry night."
The scribe in charge of SHU was recording Yao Zhengdi's words with a pen at this moment, and his palms were already full of sweat.
Eventful, anyone knows what a cheating case means, how many people will be involved, the examiner, the invigilator, the marking officer, the candidates who are connected, their relatives and friends, and their various interpersonal relationships in the past......
His hand holding the pen trembled a little, so he continued to write it down: "What the student said, every sentence is true, dare to take the head as a guarantee, when the examiner He Mao came to Nanjing in advance, there was nothing abnormal, but since then, there are many clues, for example, he always tells the student that this meeting must be Ye Chunqiu, no one in the world knows, that Ye Chunqiu is his protΓ©gΓ©...... The most strange thing is that when the paper is marked, the student takes a test paper and goes to it...... It was the test paper that won Huiyuan, and the name of the test paper was clearly confused, but when He Mao saw the article, he said to people that this must be Ye Chunqiu's test paper, and it must be among the best. Adults, students never dare to hide from each other, these things, many graders and friends have heard it, because the stakes are so important, students really dare not hide it, and when they saw that He Mao ordered Ye Chunqiu's volume as the first, the students were suddenly frightened, and then they knew that all this must have an inside story......
Zhang Cai's face didn't show any joy or anger, just listened to He Mao's complaint with a smile.
The other officials were already starting to feel a little uneasy.
This is a complaint to catch the wind and shadows, and there is not much evidence, if it is something else that is exposed, it is okay, but what is exposed is the case of fraud in the imperial examination, any bigwig in the DPRK and China wants to suppress it, it may attract strong doubts and backlash, and may even lead to burning, even in the palace, if you know that something happened to the ceremony, you have to investigate it, and it is also wishful thinking if the king of heaven wants to cover the lid.
Waiting for Yao Zheng to say that his mouth was dry.
Zhang Caicai slowly picked up the tea cup on the case and took a sip, he said expressionlessly: "Report to the cabinet, in addition, copy a copy to the palace, the matter is big, the officials dare not be good at it, I will wait...... Listen to the will of God. β
