On the square, those northern officials also showed angry expressions, and it was not a day or two that southerners did not treat them northerners as human beings. But they are lonely, and they come from the north that has been occupied by foreign races for many years, and they are already a little inferior, so they have been swallowing their anger.

However, just because you don't have a seizure doesn't mean you don't get angry. At least, if the southern officials want them to share the same hatred and fight the sixth together, it is impossible.

"Speculation, you're all a conspiracy theory!" Of course, the officials in the south didn't admit it, and desperately wanted to turn the spearhead back to the sixth child:

"Make something out of nothing and sow discord!"

"And said that he didn't mean revenge?!"

"To speak is to speak of evidence!" Zhu Zhen smiled coldly. A princess, who did not want to be named, told him that there are three tricks to quarreling: one is to stay calm and not to go up, because it is easy to say the wrong thing when you get up; The second is not to be led by the other party, then the best way is to talk to the chicken and the duck, each saying its own thing; The third is that the volume must be loud, whoever has the loudest voice will have the upper hand, and there is no quarrel in a small voice.

Today, he perfectly practiced these three principles, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao: "This king has evidence in his hands, what do you have?" Who the hell is the empty talk?! ”

"......" A group of speech officials were so shocked by him that their brains were buzzing, and they were stunned for a while.

"Oh? Sixth, you said that there is evidence, so show it. Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, the will has been issued, the auspicious time has come, and we can't delay the palace test." Hearing this, Zhao Mao hurriedly went out of work to dissuade him: "The sky and the earth are big, the palace test is the biggest, and other things should be put later." ”

"It's because the temple test is the biggest that a group of suspects can't be allowed to participate!" Zhu Zhen said-for-tat: "Otherwise, it will be the biggest scandal, and it will be laughed at for 10,000 years!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them who looked like they were fighting, but they were silent for a long time.

~~

The pin drop could be heard in the square in front of the Fengtian Palace, and thousands of people did not dare to breathe, waiting for the emperor to make a decision.

Fortunately, Boss Zhu didn't let them wait too long, so Shaoqing said lightly: "Let's take a look at the evidence of the sixth child first." ”

"Yes......" Zhao Mao had no choice but to retreat.

"You said that there was large-scale fraud, what evidence is there?" The ministers listened to Zhu Yuanzhang ask the king of Chu.

"Back to my father, my son learned from Jinyi Wei yesterday that many people got the exam questions of this subject before the exam!" Zhu Zhen replied in a deep voice:

"Then Jin Yiwei arrested several of the people involved overnight, and learned from their surprise interrogation that their exam questions came from Peng Kui, Yao Chuan, Gao Cheng, Yang Demei, and Dai Yun, who were also waiting for the exam in the guild hall!"

The Chinese-style lifters who were named fainted on the spot......

Zhu Zhen raised his voice again and said: "These five lifters are from Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, and Huguang, and they secretly spread the exam questions to the movers of the same guild hall, and also studied the correct answers with them. ”

Now the rest of the moves were also scared.

Zhu Zhen continued to ridicule mercilessly: "The funny thing is that even if they work together, there are still a few questions that they can't do." So they consulted several arithmetic experts on these questions, and only then did they get all the correct answers. ”

Saying that, he raised the thick case file bag in his hand and said loudly: "This is the confession of the person involved and those famous arithmeticists, as well as relevant physical evidence, please Father Mingjian!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and Eunuch Wu hurriedly stepped down from the golden platform, took the file in the hands of the six princes, and forwarded it.

~~

When Boss Zhu looked through the file, the pins fell on the Fengtian Temple Square.

Liu Sanwu and the others were about to suffocate, they quickly exchanged glances, racking their brains to think of countermeasures. You can't sit still, can you?

Years of high-intensity criticism have made Boss Zhu's browsing speed far beyond ordinary people. He quickly finished reading the dossier, raised his head and looked at the faces of the beings under the golden platform with a sneer, and his voice seemed to come from under the Nine Shadows.

"Okay, back then, we thought that the imperial examination was reborn in chaos, and we couldn't select talents for the imperial court at all, so we stopped it. Then you tried your best to beg us for 12 years, saying that only the imperial examination can select talents fairly, give the heroes of the world a step forward, and let the Ming Dynasty have a long and stable life. As he spoke, he threw the file in his hand heavily on the golden platform, and said angrily:

"I can't help but grind hard and hard, after 12 years, we will finally reopen the imperial examination for you, and this is how you choose talents fairly? Whose rank is the imperial examination?! ”

"Emperor Rong Bing!" Seeing that there was about to set off a bloody storm again, the official Shangshu Ru Taisu had no choice but to go out of class and say loudly: "The matter is serious, and it must go through a comprehensive and prudent investigation, and only with conclusive evidence can we draw conclusions." Instead of just relying on the confessions of a few people, you will knock over the examiners and lifters of an entire subject to the ground! ”

After the abolition of the prime minister, the official department Shangshu became the head of the civil officials, who will come out if he doesn't come out?

"Ru Taisu don't pretend to understand, the confession depends on the value, not the amount." Zhu Zhen sneered and said: "For example, those arithmetic scholars have never seen the exam papers, but among the questions that each of them wrote silently, there is no more, no less, and there is exactly one, which is exactly the same as the big question on the exam paper, and even the number does not change." ”

"And these questions, as well as the solutions they gave, happen to appear on the cheat sheets hidden by the candidates involved, is it a coincidence?!" Zhu Zhen asked Ru Taisu in a cold voice: "I have always respected your upright character and uprightness, please answer this king with your conscience, do you think they are not cheating after hearing this?" ”

"This ......" Ru Taisu was dumbfounded for a while before saying, "It sounds like a serious matter, but you can't be convicted just by relying on this circumstantial evidence!" Again, the stakes are high, and we must be cautious. ”

"Ru Butang is right!" At this time, Zhan Hui, the imperial historian of Zuodu, also came out to support: "According to the principle of litigation avoidance in this dynasty, His Royal Highness King Chu Haidian is not only the person who wrote the question, but also the sacrificial wine of Guozi University, so he should avoid this case!" Therefore, the confession evidence obtained from his interrogation must be doubtful and cannot be directly trusted. ”

"......" Lao Liu did not refute this, but agreed deeply: "Of course, it must be thoroughly investigated, but you can't only check it yourself, this king can't trust you either, and the Duke of Korea, the Duke of Xinguo, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies must come together." It's better for my eldest brother to lead the way and have a ten-class trial. How's that, that's enough, right? ”

"This ...... Absolutely. Zhan Hui naturally couldn't refute the sixth child.

"So what now?" Tang He, who was in charge of presiding over the palace examination, saw that the sun was already tall, and asked stubbornly: "Your Majesty, is this palace examination still examined?" ”

"It's a fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Let's take these lifts first, as well as those examiners, and put them all in prison." ”
