Chapter 179: The Case of Cheating in the Imperial Examination (1)
Yin was ordered to take Gelfin back to Beijing, but he was a little embarrassed along the way. Reading the book// Because Kangxi did not take the position of Gelfinn, it was not good to restrain him too much, and only let a few guards follow him closely. As for the reason why Kangxi handed over Gelfin to the prince and Suo Etu for discipline, it was inconvenient for Yin to ask. Gelfin was also stunned, as if he didn't care about Kangxi's anger, so he only wrapped himself around Yin? all day long, talking about how the prince was. Yin? At first, he said a few perfunctory words, but then he had to put on a straight face and reprimanded: "Ridiculous, the prince's affairs are also something you can say casually? You are close to the prince, and you can earn a little face for the prince by doing things? It's really strange, how did Suo Etu teach you such an unsuccessful son?"
After arriving in Beijing, Yin took Gelfin to Suo Etu's mansion, Suo Etu had already received the letter, knelt down to listen to Kangxi's dictation, and Suo Etu kicked Gelfin with him, and scolded: "You beast, it's okay to cause trouble at home, and you dare to be presumptuous where the holy car is!
When Gelfin saw Suo Etu, he was kicked to the ground like a mouse seeing a cat, but he didn't dare to hide, but he just blindly protected his head.
Yin watched this play with a tense face, but said nothing. He knew that Suo Etu was nothing more than for himself to see, but he wanted to see how Suo Etu ended. Suo Etu really couldn't get up and down, so he had to start a little heavier. Reading a book// Gelfin was beaten and screamed, and at this moment, a woman rushed out of the inner courtyard, very fat, full of beads and jade, and jingled with her steps. This person also knows that Suo Etu's wife, Guarjia, the duchess of the first class, often walks around in front of the Queen Mother.
Guerjia didn't pay attention to Yin, and blindly ran to Suo Etu, his face was like frost, and he said coldly: "Grandpa is so majestic, have you fought enough?" Suo Etu looked at Yin?, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't open his mouth after all, looking at Guerjia's forced gaze, Suo Etu seemed to be a little timid, and whispered: "Madam, I'm here... , you see, the fourth master... "Ahem, why did you alarm Madame?" Guarjia turned to Yin? and made a half-squatting salute, and said, "Please four Belle Jin'an." Standing up, he glared at Suo Etu fiercely, and said, "Even if the emperor asked him to discipline Gelfin, I, as a mother-in-law, can't get rid of it." Grandpa, did you even kill me together?" Then, he smiled lightly at Yin? and said, "My family's idea of a bad thing made the fourth master laugh." ”
I have heard that Suo Etu is afraid of guilt, but now I have seen it, and it is really not a trivial problem. Seeing that the wind and rain were coming, Yin was also a little uncomfortable in the face of this female tiger who turned his hands and covered his hands with rain, cleared his throat, and said: "Since I handed over the emperor's order, Gelfin will hand it over to Duke Suo and his wife." I still want to enter the palace to see the prince's driver, so I will stay soon. Leave. ”
When Suo Etu saw that Yin was leaving, he thought of the Guerjia clan's imminent prestige, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly greeted Yin, and said, "Fourth master, the slave will send you!"
Following Yin's side all the way out of Suofu, Suo Etu still refused to turn back, looking uneasy, but Yin's couldn't help laughing, and said: "Suo Gong, but you can't send me to Yuqing Palace?" Suo Etu said with a bitter face: "The fourth master said that he laughed, I wanted to find a yamen to hide, so that my ears could not be quiet." To say that I am not afraid of the fourth master's laughter, in my house, it is difficult for the husband to cheer up. Gelfin has become like this, which must have something to do with the spoiling of his mother. ”
Yin was noncommittal, and said: "This time the emperor seems to be angry, if he doesn't strictly discipline Gelving, I'm afraid that Suo Gong will really eat some hanging." There was no mention of the prince in his words, and Suo Etu also understood it, and said busily: "The fourth master taught a lesson." ”
The two walked silently for a short time on the horse, and Suo Etu said abruptly: "The slave received the imperial approval and ordered the fourth master to prepare for the palace test together with the prince and the eldest brother?" Yin nodded and said, "Exactly, what advice does Suo Gong have?" I am afraid that the period of the palace examination will drag on for several months. "What?" Yin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What did Suo Gong hear?" Suo Etu pointed behind him and said, "The fourth master just passed by the wine shop, did you see the scholars gathering together and talking loudly?" Suo Etu smiled bitterly and said, "If it is as the fourth master thinks, then the pavilion minister who is staying in Beijing will not scratch his head." Recently, there has been a ballad in the capital, and the fourth master will know the clue as soon as he hears it. The song says: 'Old ginger has no spicy taste, and Xiao Li has a lot of sweetness'. "Yin?" was taken aback again, and said: "Can it be said that it is Li Pan and Jiang Chenying?" Suo Etu said: "Isn't it them, who else?" Although Xiaogan (Xiong Cixu) is the main exam, it is just a name, and his brother is buried in the history of the Ming Dynasty, where can he still be busy. The emperor also knew this, so he ordered Li Pan and Jiang Chenying, one old and one young, two deputy examiners. Suo Etu had a good personal relationship with Xiong Cixu, so he took the opportunity to excuse him a few words.
Yin?'s brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "If you say that these two people cheated, I don't believe it." These two thirty-five-year-old Dingjia of the same subject, if they were not the emperor's blue eyes, how could they be the main test with the revision and editing of the Hanlin Academy. Now the two of them will not want to repay the grace of the saint and abolish the law of the country?" Suo Etu stroked his forehead and said: "The fourth master is extremely right. Jiang Ximing used to repair the history of the Ming Dynasty with cloth clothes, learned profoundly, erudite and knowledgeable, and was well versed in the study of scriptures and history, if it were not for his upright character and refusal to climb the examiner and magnates, how could he be old and rare to get the middle of the flowers? Li Xian Li is even more good, a year ago Siam came to the dynasty, the emperor gave him a product of clothing, life as a museum companion. During this period, Li Pan preached morality, and the sound was like a Hong Zhong, so that the Siamese envoys celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and got to know the first person in the Celestial Empire. These two people are deeply favored, how can they destroy their future and do stupid things?"
Yin muttered: "What do the people say about this matter?" Suo Etu said: "Because there are some ministers in the middle of the test, the people accuse these two of taking bribes for personal gain, and they are all nonsense in my opinion. Yin's heart moved, and said: "Which are the children of the ministers among the tribute students?" Suo Etu hesitated for a moment before saying: "University scholar Wang Xisun Wang Jinghui, university scholar Li Tianfuzi Li Fuqing, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Xiong Yixiaozi Kumamoto, Ministry of Rites Shangshu Han Xiaoji, left deputy capital imperial history Jiang Hongdaozi Jiang Jiuxiao, Zongren Mansion Cheng Li Du Ne's son Li Tingyi, Zhejiang Township Examination Chief Examination Shi Kuizi Shi Yizhi, Fujian Chief Examiner Pan Yunpeng Zi Pan Weizhen, and a few more are the children of the banner people, such as Xilin Jue Luo's Ortai, and.... Suo Etu paused for a moment and said, "There is also Hu Fu Nian and Nian Qianyao." ”
