Chapter 185: The Case of Cheating in the Imperial Examination (7)

With Kangxi's strict order, even if Li Pan and Jiang Chenying were escorted to the Prison God Temple, Yin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Jiang Chenying was already a handful of age, and his temperament was too square, and now in this situation, I don't know how he will deal with himself. Reading//**

On the second day, Kangxi Sheng drove back to Beijing, and the rest of the elder brothers, except for the eighth elder brother Yin, who was ordered by the emperor to stay in Jiangnan for relief, also returned. With the crown prince and the eldest brother going out of the capital for twenty miles, as soon as the salute was over, they hurriedly gathered beside the thirteenth elder brother. At this time, Yinxiang had learned of his Eniang's illness, and his face, which used to be smiling, was already a haze, and Yinxiang was also very dazed when he looked at him, Yinxiang sighed lightly, and said: "The thirteenth brother has asked Huang Ama to serve at his mother's concubine?" Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to come back to his senses, nodded and said: "Huang Ama allowed me to go to Eniang's place to take care of me after entering the palace." Then, pulling Yin's arm, he prayed and said: "Fourth brother, my mother will be fine, she will be fine, right?" Yin? In fact, I went to the Tai Hospital to ask, Zhang Jia's time is short, but I am afraid that in these few days, I dare not tell Yinxiang at this time, let alone look at his eyes, so I have to say: "Mother Concubine Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the thirteenth brother is back, the mother concubine is happy in her heart, and the illness will naturally be better." Yinxiang muttered like a life-saving straw: "What the fourth brother said must be good, the fourth brother has never deceived me." Listening to this, I felt really sad in my heart, and I wanted to take the opportunity to comfort me again, but when I saw Li Dequan hurriedly walking towards me, I could only stop talking.

Li Dequan came to the side and said in a low voice: "Fourth master, the emperor announced that you will immediately follow the car into the palace to speak." Reading the book// "Before Yin? could answer, Li Dequan said again: "The fourth master should be careful, the emperor seems to be in a bad mood, so he just beat Lord Xiong to kneel in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace." Yin, said: "I will pay attention to the love of Father-in-law Li." Emperor Amarke also announced that the other brothers would see him?" Li Dequan waved his hand and said: "The fourth master is still polite to the slaves? The prince and the eldest brother also dare to go to the Qianqing Palace at this moment, and the fourth master should hurry up and leave with the slaves." ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, the prince originally saw that he could still have a seat, but today he was standing, and the eldest brother bowed down and stood half a step back, and the prince was obviously relieved when he saw Yin?

Yin asked Kangxi for peace, Kangxi motioned for him to get up, and then said to the prince: "Yin?, you should tell me, how to deal with this matter?" The prince was a little flustered, and said: "If you return to Huang Ama, the sons and daughters will also urge the three law divisions to hear the case according to the will of the emperor Ama, and the Ministry of Rites, the sons and daughters are also stepping up preparations for the palace examination of the emperor." Kangxi's face became even darker, and he snorted coldly, and said: "I didn't ask what you are doing, I asked what strategy you have? How to appease the scholars who are now in turmoil, how to deal with those courtiers who are on the list? Also, how did Li Pan and Jiang Chenying give birth?" The prince is in a dilemma at the moment, he doesn't know what kind of response Kangxi is waiting for, he just wants him, the prince, to show his heart, the imperial examination case has come to this step, and severely punishing cheating officials is the meaning of the question, but in this way, wouldn't it have lost the hearts of a lot of people, this price is inevitably too great, and when he was thinking about how to respond, the eldest brother glanced at the prince, stepped forward, and interjected: "Erchen thinks it's ......." "Why do you think?" Kangxi said: "Shut up for me, what kind of disease are you raising in the house? Do you think I really don't know anything? How many times have you called the troupe to do a church meeting during your recuperation? Do you want me to tell you?" Huang Ama forgave the sin, the son was not unwilling to share the work for the prince, but the son of the minister's proposal was refuted by the prince, the prince was sitting in prison of the country, the son of the minister, the son of the minister knew that he was just an auxiliary role, since the prince felt that the idea of the son was not available, the son of the minister, the son of the minister was a little offended, and felt that it was better to stay ......in the house in peace. ”

Yin?I know Kangxi's likes and dislikes, if I tell him frankly, Kangxi may be punished a little lightly, if I argue strongly, I am afraid that I will immediately bear Kangxi's thunderous anger. I only heard Kangxi's hand "snap" on the case, and said angrily: "What is this? When I was about to leave Beijing, I asked you to help the prince, how did you accept me? Are you angry with the prince or with me? With your stupidity, can I dare to hand over the heavy responsibility of the prison country to you?"

Kangxi looked at these two sons, one knelt in the present like a lamb of sin, and the other did not say a word and watched coldly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When do you understand what etiquette and shame are, and when will you come back to work on an errand? Although the words are very heavy, Yin? knows that this is Kangxi's punishment of him, and it is a great good not to cut the knight. In terms of the current situation, it seems that most of the people who want to handle the imperial examination case will offend people, and it is better to be at ease with the order to study, so he immediately thanked the emperor for his favor and retreated.

At this time, the prince made up his mind, bowed down and said: "The son asks the emperor Ama to calm his anger, after all, the dragon body is important." Thinking that Huang Ama had a long journey, the sons and eldest brother really shouldn't bother Huang Ama at this time. Erchen thought that the source of this public case was still on Li Pan and Jiang Chenying. If it weren't for the fact that these two people disregarded the grace of God and accepted bribes, they would never have caused the current turmoil, and these two people should really be punished seriously to appease the hearts of the world's scholars. With the two heads of the deputy examiner, perhaps the fame of a few carefully selected officials who are inconsequential and tributary can be exchanged for the peace of the court. It's just that the prince intentionally or unintentionally omitted one point, if the imperial court kills Li and Jiang, doesn't it mean that the results of the examination will be boring?

Kangxi really frowned when he heard this, and said, "The fraud has been verified?" The prince lowered his head and muttered: "It is still under investigation." But Erchen felt... Kangxi's tone became mean, and said: "Kill two people, what are you doing?" Kangxi snorted, turned his head to look at Yin, who had been silent on the side, deliberately softened his tone, and said, "Yin?, you can talk about it." ”

Yin bowed down and said, "Yes." Erchen's thoughts were: Huang Ama personally presided over the examination, if the children of the officials selected were mediocre, they would be thoroughly investigated, and Li and Jiang should be dealt with according to the law, and those who gave bribes should also be punished. On the contrary, if those scholars are really talented, then Li and Jiang are just virtuous and do not shy away from 'relatives', and the imperial court should award all the selected test papers to the public, and give them justice!"
