Chapter 205: King Yan who leaked the exam questions
At noon, the Prince's Mansion.
Guo Jia came to the courtyard where Qin Lang lived and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"Fengxiao doesn't have to be polite, come and sit." Qin Lang responded with a smile on his face.
"No!"
In response, Guo Jia stepped forward and sat down.
Qin Lang said: "Fengxiao, you came to find Lone, but what's the matter?" β
Guo Jia said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, you asked Zai Xia to investigate the matter of Yan King Qin Ming before, and Zai Xia has already investigated it clearly. β
"Hmm...... Let's take it into account. Qin Lang's face changed slightly, and then he became serious.
"No!" In response, Guo Jia said: "According to the secret investigation of the Jinyi Guard sent out by the subordinates, Qin Ming, the king of Yan, did sell exam questions, and the number of people who bought exam questions reached 100,000, and the amount involved reached 100 million gold. β
"What?" Qin Lang's face changed drastically, and a wave of anger immediately poured out.
The leak of the exam questions was only something he knew about two months ago, and it was also inadvertently touched by "Jinyiwei".
After learning about this incident, he immediately arranged for Guo Jia to investigate to see who was leaking the exam questions.
What people didn't expect was that the person who leaked the exam questions was actually Yan Wang Qin Ming.
However, because he was not sure whether it was the other party, he asked Guo Jia to continue to investigate. But I never expected that the person who leaked the exam questions was really Qin Ming.
The amount involved has reached 100 million gold!
Qin Lang asked with a gloomy face: "Are those candidates who have obtained the exam questions among those who passed the imperial examination last year?" β
Guo Jia said: "The exam questions leaked by King Yan are all exam questions that he knows, and the exam questions known to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and other princes are not involved, so none of those candidates passed the imperial examination, but the scores they got were unusually high." β
The people who know the exam questions, in addition to the emperor and the crown prince, there are a total of three people who know, and they are all princes, they are Qin Ming, the king of Yan, Qin Chen, the king of Chen, and Qin Yang, the king of Lu.
Except for the emperor, although some of the crown princes knew the exam questions, the considerations they each knew added up to only one-third, which was also intentional by the emperor.
Hearing this answer, Qin Lang was somewhat relieved, and it was these people who were involved in the examination questions, and if someone passed the imperial examination, the consequences would be very serious.
Even if it is just one person, the consequences are enough to shake the next imperial examination, and it is not even possible to let it go on.
"Have all the people who bought the exam questions written it down?" Qin Lang's face was slightly gloomy and he asked.
"It's all written in here." As he spoke, Guo Jia took out ten rosters and placed them on the table.
Reaching out and taking a roster, Qin Lang looked at it carefully, and then his face sank again and again, and the anger on his face was difficult to hide.
After reading a roster, his face became more and more cold, but he didn't get angry, but said with a gloomy face: "Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter." β
Guo Jia said: "If His Royal Highness is not the crown prince, this matter can be handled by others, but His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, categorically cannot let such a mistake occur." Therefore, tomorrow's early dynasty, the crown prince needs to inform the emperor of this matter, and give the candidates in the world a peace of mind. β
"The meaning of filial piety is what Lone thinks in his heart, and tomorrow morning, Lone will tell this story on the grass." Qin Lang agreed with the other party's proposal.
β¦β¦
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the next day.
Xuanxing Temple.
Emperor Qin Tianlong sat on the dragon chair, and Qin Lang and his party stood on both sides below.
At this time, Wang Wei stepped forward and shouted: "If there is something to do, it will be played, and if there is nothing to retreat from." β
Qin Chen, who was in the ranks of civil officials, was about to stand up, when Qin Lang in the ranks of military attachΓ©s took the lead in standing up from the ranks and said, "Your Majesty, your son has something to do." β
"Quasi-play!" Regarding what the prince was going to play, Qin Tianlong was quite curious in his heart.
After all, every time he went to the court, the crown prince Qin Lang almost didn't say anything, only occasionally interjected a mouthful or two, and now he had something to play, which made him quite curious.
"Back to Your Majesty, Erchen received a secret report a month ago, saying that Yan Wang Qin Ming sold exam questions, involving 100,000 candidates, and the amount reached 100 million taels of gold, Erchen didn't believe it, but after investigation, Yan Wang Qin clearly sold exam questions."
As soon as Qin Lang's words came out, the silence in the hall was terrifying, and Qin Ming, the king of Yan, was already shocked into a cold sweat, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.
He hurriedly stood up from the queue, knelt on the ground, and said: "Father, the son is wronged, the son has not done such a thing, all this is the prince slandering the son of the son." β
Qin Tianlong, whose face was cold, didn't pay attention to Qin Ming, but asked the crown prince Qin Lang, "Do you have any evidence?" β
"Yes!" After replying to such a sentence, Qin Lang immediately took out the roster.
Wang Wei left Qin Tianlong's side, came to Qin Lang, and took the things in his hand and handed them to the emperor.
After taking a roster and watching it, Qin Tianlong's face became more and more ugly.
Qin Ming's whole face was already pale with fright, and sweat kept flowing down his cheeks.
At the same time, I was very puzzled.
I have obviously dealt with everything, why can Tai Chi still investigate? Could it be that someone betrayed him?
As soon as he thought that there was already a traitor beside him, Qin Ming felt a surge of anger in his heart.
When Qin Tianlong looked at the roster, Qin Lang said: "The names of the people recorded on the roster in Your Majesty's hands are all candidates this time, and they have obtained very high scores in the imperial examination, if Your Majesty has any doubts, you can send someone to check their examination papers......"
Qin Tianlong did not respond to Qin Lang, but kept looking at the roster in his hand, and then asked Wang Wei next to him to investigate clearly, especially to check the candidate's exam papers this time.
"How could this Qin Lang start so quickly?" Qin Chen's face was a little displeased.
He also investigated Qin Ming's sale of exam papers, and was about to inform the emperor today, but he never expected that Qin Lang would actually take a step ahead of him, which made him feel very unhappy.
The rest of the officials had already been so shocked that they couldn't speak, and at the same time, they were even more greedy for the 100 million taels of gold that Qin Ming had obtained.
100,000,000 people will get 100,000,000 taels of gold, which is also a few more people, and the hands and feet that will not be able to earn will be numb, and the hands will cramp when they count the money......
After a long time, Wang Wei returned and whispered in Qin Tianlong's ear.
After listening to Wang Wei's story, Qin Tianlong suddenly became angry, threw the roster in his hand directly at Qin Ming, and roared angrily: "King Yan, you are so bold, you dare to take my words as the wind in your ears? β
The roster that was thrown out was accurately slapped into Qin Ming's face, and it immediately turned red for a while.
"Father, son-in-law doesn't, son-in-law really doesn't sell exam questions, and ask my father to check clearly." Qin Ming refused to admit what he had done.
"You didn't? If you don't, then why are the test questions I gave you leaking out, and so many people getting a lot of marks on the questions you know? Don't you think I'm a fool? General Qin Ming refused to admit it, and Qin Tianlong's face became more and more pale.
"Father, the son is really wronged! If Erchen leaked the exam questions, then the prince and King Chen also leaked the exam questions, otherwise how could the ministers under their command get such a high score in the pattern? Qin Ming directly threw the topic to Qin Lang and Qin Chen.
Qin Chen, who didn't want to take care of this matter, couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard that Qin Ming threw the problem to himself, and all the officials also discussed it here.
In this year's imperial examination, the prince and King Chen's advisers almost occupied all the quotas, which inevitably made people suspect that they leaked the exam questions.
"King Yan, I didn't see it, before you died, you actually wanted to bite someone back." Qin Lang looked at Qin Ming with a smile.
"Humph!" Qin Ming snorted coldly and said, "Prince, you can actually rebel, so it is naturally not impossible to leak the exam questions." β
As soon as the words fell, he turned to Qin Chen and said, "King Chen, since you can betray the prince, it is naturally possible to leak the exam questions to the outside world." β
Qin Chen's face became more and more ugly.
Before he could open his mind, Qin Ming began to bite people indiscriminately, which really made him feel a little speechless.
Just as Qin Lang was about to reply, Qin Tianlong said with a cold face: "King Yan, I am giving you a chance, do you admit that you leaked the exam questions." β
Qin Ming's dead duck had a hard mouth and kept his mouth shut.
Seeing this, Qin Tianlong said in a deep voice: "Prince, King Chen, the two of you tell him how many exam questions there are given to you. β
Qin Lang said: "Two." β
Qin Chen said: "Two ways." β
The answer of the two was like a terrifying thunderbolt, directly slamming on Qin Ming's head, making his face pale as paper in an instant.
He originally thought that the two of them got the same exam questions as him, a total of eight, but he never expected that they only got two exam questions.
In this way, it was definitely him who leaked the exam questions, and the advisers of the two of them were completely crushed by strength.
Qin Tianlong said: "King Lu, you tell him that I gave you a few exam questions. β
"Four questions." King Lu Qin Yang immediately stood out of the queue and responded.
At this moment, he had a burst of confidence in his heart, fortunately, he had restrained himself in his heart, otherwise, he would have to end up with the Yan King in front of him.
Qin Ming's whole person was completely stunned.
He knew that each of them had obtained exam questions, but he didn't expect that he was the one who got the most exam questions, and the three of them had obtained enough exam questions to add up.
"I thought you wouldn't follow your mother's character, but now it seems that I was wrong, you, like your mother, are people who love as much as their lives." Qin Tianlong looked at Qin Ming with a look of hatred for iron.
Then he ordered with a cold face: "Spread my will, from now on, abolish the title of King Yan, demote him to a concubine, confiscate his assets, and imprison him in a prison. β
"It's over! It's all over. Qin Ming's face was immediately like lime, and the whole person sat on the ground weakly.
At this time, two soldiers walked in from outside the door, and then dragged Qin Ming out of here.
"Shangguan Wu." Seeing Qin Ming away, Qin Tianlong tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and then spoke.
"The end will be."
Shangguan Wu immediately stood out of the queue.
Qin Tianlong said: "I want you to arrange for someone to arrest all the people on the roster and torture them, once it is verified that they have purchased exam questions, all of them will be given heavy punishments, and no one can be left behind." β
He doesn't care who these people are who are buying test questions? Since they have touched their own bottom line, they must be severely punished.
Even if it is his own son, he will not hesitate to punish them, letting them know what will happen if they touch their bottom line.
As soon as he thought that his son Qin Ming didn't pay attention to his words, but used the exam questions to collect money, he was very angry in his heart, and he wanted to slap him to death......
When the time came to noon, the court meeting ended, and the officials left the palace one after another and returned to their respective residences.
Qin Lang also returned to the East Palace.
Qin Tianlong, who left the court, did not return to the harem, but went to the imperial study.
As soon as he stepped into the study, Qin Tianlong scolded: "Idiot! Eater! Idiot! I thought that by giving him a good education, I would be able to get rid of his penchant for accumulating money with his mother, but he was better enough to make money by leaking the exam questions at the first imperial examination I held. β
Seeing this, Wang Wei had a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
He himself felt a little shocked and surprised by the occurrence of this incident.
At the same time, there are some doubts, how could their people not investigate this matter? Not even aware of it.
Could it be that some of them took refuge in Qin Ming and laid a good eyeliner for him.
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Wei's face immediately became not very good-looking, and he secretly decided in his heart that he must find out this person.
Roaring out the anger in his heart, Qin Tianlong ordered: "Princess, you go and investigate the inside of Eagle Eye to see who has colluded with King Yan, once the investigation is out, you don't need to report it to me, just cut it with a thousand knives." β
This matter didn't even know about "Eagle Eye", which can only show that someone in "Eagle Eye" cooperated with Qin Ming, otherwise it would not have been possible for the news to reach his ears.
He must find this man, and then cut him with a thousand knives, and then crush his bones and scatter ashes, so that he will die without a place to bury.
"Slave and maid, let's do it." After saying this, Wang Wei immediately turned around and left.
This matter is too serious, and it must be investigated as soon as possible to see which bastard is cooperating with King Yan.
Also, do it ahead of time to prevent them from escaping.
When he came to his position and sat down, Qin Tianlong still had an angry expression.
This matter is too bad to be handled well, and it is very likely to affect the next imperial examination.
And he also regretted a little at the moment, he shouldn't have shown the exam questions to his sons in the first place, otherwise there would be no questions leaked.
Although the number of these leaked exam questions is not large, he feels very annoyed by such a bad phenomenon......
Back in the East Palace, Qin Lang only felt happy.
Now that God has unknowingly killed a prince, and then, as long as the rest of the people are pushed from power, then no one will stop him from becoming emperor.
"Having said that, Qin Chen, you kid, what are you going to play today? Could it be something to do with loneliness? Qin Lang muttered to himself in his heart, and there was curiosity in his eyes.
Su Mucheng, who walked to the pavilion, asked with some curiosity: "Your Highness, you are so happy, could it be that there is something happy?" β
Murong Yao was also curious.
Qin Lang said: "It's not a happy event!" But if you want to know, then it doesn't hurt to tell you, anyway, it won't be long before this matter spreads throughout the Great Qin Dynasty. β
