Chapter 181: The Case of Cheating in the Imperial Examination (3)
The third elder brother looked at the manuscript in front of him, and because of his excitement, he took a piece of Xue Tao's note from the case, and picked up the pen and wrote: Hire it, and see Mr. Meng's masterpiece, which is quite deafening. Reading the book // It's a pity that only a few people have the ...... to read this play. The whole sheet was written, Yinzhi read it carefully, and then he enveloped it, handed it to his personal companion Ge Shun, and instructed: "You quickly send this letter to Kong Shang, the head of the household department in the capital." After a pause, he still felt uneasy, and then ordered: "This letter can only be handed over to Shang Ren himself, and must not be handed over to others, remember to remember." Ge complied, carefully collected the letter in his arms, and then turned to leave. Looking at Ge Shun's back, a smile appeared at the corner of Yinzhi's mouth, and he said in a low voice: "Jingli Xu is too boring, younger brother, I will send a big drama to add some fun to the two elder brothers." After that, he got up and ordered his subordinates: "Wait for the master to get dressed, and the master will go to the palace to see the driver!"
In the Yuqing Palace in the capital, the lawsuit of Yin's head at this moment, Yin's really threw the case to himself, and the meaning of Yin's words is very clear, as the prince, if he can get the important ministers of the court as his help, everything can be done smoothly, according to Yin's original words is "to live up to the emperor's entrustment". But if you ignore the affairs of the science field, you will offend the world's scholars and offend everyone's leisurely mouth, which is also not beautiful. In short, the dilemma is lost to Yin?
Yin's heart is clear, this tribute, involving many scholars, ministries, local officials, they usually have the name of Qingliu in the court, very influential, and most of them were not originally in the prince's camp, plus their sons and nephews who will enter the officialdom after being selected, if the prince takes advantage of this matter to show favor and win over, this group of officials will be under the wings, the prince can sit in the position of the prince, and no longer have to worry about the big brother and his party. However, now the scholars who participated in the tribute were angry, and if they were not properly appeased, they would have a bad reputation among the scholars. Reading the book// The prince will ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, and the prince must not touch these things that offend officials and scholars. Now that Yin has been sent to the door, isn't he the best person to do this matter? The case has been handled properly, and that is because the prince is good at employing people. If it is not handled properly, Kangxi will be punished, and even take the title of Yin, so he can explain the past to everyone. The prince really has a good calculation.
When he left, the prince smiled and said, "Fourth brother, this case is entrusted to you." The second brother is among the brothers, besides you, who else can you count on? When this matter is understood, the second brother will be folded immediately, and you should have been the king of a county a long time ago!"
Yin smiled bitterly and said goodbye to the prince. How could this envoy of the crown prince be a good one? Mo said that he had not received a single piece of the prince's edict, and he did not even say a word of cheapness, and the left and right princes had the idea of not taking the slightest responsibility. Besides, the next hot potato can top the prince of the county? The prince is not the emperor yet, and he is not a three-year-old child!
Riding on a horse, Yin thought carefully about the case, and instructed his entourage: "Don't go back to the house first, go to the Soldiers and Horses!"
Suzhou, in the middle of the imperial boat, Kangxi looked at Li Xu with some amusement and said: "Okay, you slave, tell your master, how much silver did you receive from the dismissed man? He went to me and hit the wooden bell for him? He wanted to dedicate poems to me? I rarely made those few words?" Li Xu laughed with him and said: "No matter how poor the slave is, it is also trained by the master, and the slave is poor, and he must have a little ambition, and he will never lose his master." How could a slave covet a man's silver taels? Then although Wu Tingzhen said that he was a talented person. On his mother's birthday, Wu Tingzhen wrote a congratulatory couplet, and his mother was very happy to see it, and said: 'The peach has been knotted on Yaochi Road, and the jade tree is crossed with Langyuan incense'. If it weren't for the slaves, they would not dare to recommend it to the emperor today. Kangxi heard the name of Mrs. Wen, so he said: "Since I once dedicated a joint to Mama Wen, I will see him." Li Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Tingzhen is talented, but he did give himself 5,000 taels of silver, take people's money, and eliminate disasters for others. Now, in order to meet the driver, Li Xu has a lot of deficit, five thousand taels is not much, but it is a lot less, and he really wants to return the silver to Wu Tingzhen, Li Xu is really a little reluctant.
Kangxi was about to send a message to Wu Tingzhen to meet him, but after thinking about it, he said to Li Xu: "This time I have traveled to the south, although there is a purpose, and there are internal treasury expenditures along the way, but I see that you and Cao Yin have not spent less, and your Suzhou Weaving Mansion has a big deficit?" Li Xu was hesitant not to know how to answer, Kangxi said again: "I have thought about it, the deficit is not appropriate in the end, sooner or later, I will tell the truth, I will allocate 100,000 taels to you and Cao Yin, and you can make profits from the operation, and slowly make up for the shortfall." Li Xu was already in tears when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "How can a slave be virtuous, with the master's favor so much, the slave dares to do his best to serve the master!" Kangxi waved his hand to let Li Xu get up, and then said: "Mama Wen and Mama Sun are both old people in my family, Cao Yin and you are also single-handedly made by me, how can I bear to let you suffer poverty? As long as you wait to do a good job, you will repay your mother and me." That's it, don't talk about that, you go and bring Wu Tingzhen to see me. Li Xu responded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and brought Wu Tingzhen in.
Wu Dinh Ching was a talented son in Changzhou, but because his grandparents had been in Changzhou for less than 20 years, he could not participate in the local township examination, so he had no choice but to take the examination under false origin. Although Wu Tingzhen himself is not famous, his family and friends are very angry, and some classmates and friends thought about taking Li Xu's door, and pushed Wu Tingzhen to turn over on the occasion of Kangxi's southern tour. Wu Tingzhen didn't want to refute his friend's good intentions, so he reluctantly followed Li Xu to the palace.
Kangxi looked at Wu Tingzhen in front of him, and saw that he was dressed simply, but he was well cared for, and he dealt with it quite properly. With the theme of patrolling and the rhyme of the river, try to make one for me to see. A moment in time, can you?"
Wu Tingzhen was already in an open posture at this moment, and after only a little thought, he said generously: "The grass people don't need a moment, and a few sentences will be presented to the saint at this time." "After that, he picked up the pen and wrote on the case next to him: 'The green waves are rippling on the boat, and the Son of Heaven is from Yuebang. Kangxi looked at it and nodded secretly, and said in his heart that this son is worthy of being a bit of a swift talent. When it was time to write the last two sentences, Wu Tingzhen was a little hesitant, Kangxi knew that he was anxious, so he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's still early to a moment, I'm waiting for you." Only then did Wu Tingzhen settle down.
At this time, the cabin was very quiet, only the sound of the bell ticking around, Wu Tingzhen suddenly had an idea, looked sideways out of the window, and then added two sentences: "I heard the bell leaking, and the journey has now arrived in Wujiang." ’
Kangxi was very happy after reading it, and immediately said: "If you are a talented person, I will return your fame to you." You will return to Beijing with me and enter the Zhiwu Ying Palace!" Wu Tingzhen, who stepped into the green clouds, was a little stupid, and Li Xu hurriedly pulled him to thank him, so he did not lose his manners.
At this moment, Li Dequan entered the cabin and said to Kangxi: "Master, there is an urgent excerpt here, please take a look." There are also three elder brothers waiting on the shore, please see them. Li Xu knew each other very well, and when he saw that Kangxi's face began to become solemn after reading the title of the excerpt, he pulled Wu Tingzhen and retired.
Kangxi couldn't help frowning when he looked at the report entitled 'Chenjiang Nandao Yushi Luyou participated in the examination deputy examiners Li Pan and Jiang Chenying indulged in fraud'.
