Liu Sanwu's 'high theory', the corners of Kaiji's mouth twitched when he heard it. Bisheng Kaiji also served as an official of the Yuan Dynasty, so he can't refute it. He had no choice but to sneer, and made up his mind to handle the case impartially, and he would never sympathize with these southern barbarians.

Tang He didn't feel anything, firstly, Huaixi was at the junction of the north and south, and he could be regarded as both northerners and southerners, and secondly, without their gang of founding heroes to expel the Tartars, how could there be a place for these scholars to jump? Therefore, Huaixi Xungui is full of superiority in front of anyone.

"It's the first time I've heard people talk about using power for personal gain and deception, and it's so noble!" He slapped the table and scolded loudly: "Fraud in the science field, which dynasty is a scandal that has topped the sky, and a big case has been solved!" You also broke the king's law, you know?! ”

"I know, but just like in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, helping the righteous army also violated the royal law, we still have no hesitation," Liu Sanwu said with a divine expression on his face:

"There is always something that is more important than the royal law of one dynasty and one generation."

"What's that?" Tang He asked.

"For example, faith and morality ......" Liu Sanwu replied slowly: "If you talk too much, your grandfather doesn't understand, as long as you know, we don't seek personal gain, and we have a clear conscience." ”

"So what are you trying to do?" Tang He really doesn't understand the brain circuits of these people.

"Of course, it's for my sect to fight for a glimmer of life......" Liu Sanwu said, and a look of regret finally appeared on his face: "It's just that after this failure, I'm afraid that it will be replaced by the evil sect for twenty years." ”

"The evil sect you said refers to the Guozi University of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, right?" Tang He no longer blew his beard and stared, he knew that with a religious madman like Liu Sanwu, it was useless to bluff. Let's communicate calmly.

"So to speak."

"But as far as the old man knows, he also studied the Four Books and the Five Classics in Guozi University, and he also put the study of the Raushzi scriptures in the most important position." Tang He asked puzzledly: "Mr. Song's old man was ordered to see him before he died, and he also told the old man that Guozi University is the future of Confucianism. Don't you regard Mr. Song as the leader of the alliance? Why don't you believe him? ”

"That is Song Taishi's words against his will for the sake of his descendants and under the coercion of the sixth child!" Liu Sanwu, who had been calm, broke his defense when he heard this, the muscles on his face were twitching, and he said with resentment: "The sixth prince is too pressing, Song Taishi is not guaranteed in the evening, we don't believe what he said at Guozi University!" ”

"Good guy, what people say doesn't count, and you have to approve it." Tang He was amused: "This is even more powerful than the emperor." ”

"It's not us who are powerful, it's me who teaches." Liu Sanwu regained his painful calm and said: "Guozi University is under the banner of 'eclecticism and application of learning'. Raise those miscellaneous studies to the point where they go hand in hand with scripture. The king of Chu used the power in his hands to introduce those miscellaneous studies into the imperial examination, and his Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by. If you don't put things right in time, the one who will kill my holy sect will be the king of Chu! ”

He finally emphasized: "Whoever can't see this is blind, and if he doesn't admit it, he's a traitor." Song Lian is no exception! ”

"I think you're a madman!" After Tang and the questions were finished, he waved his hand and asked the Jinyi Guard to take him down.

~~

The rest of the officials involved in the case, although not as fanatical as Liu Sanwu, also held the same view - I broke the law, but I was not wrong. You can punish me with the royal law, but you can't condemn me morally.

They even went so far as to criticize the officials who interrogated them in the court, and their stance was too unfirm to be pure disciples of Confucius and Mencius. It is only right that they should immediately repent and join them in the struggle for the survival of the Holy Religion.

These fellows really felt that their actions were not only disgraceful, but rather glorious, so they all confessed to their deeds, and did not hide them for their comrades, for fear that their glorious deeds would be buried.

Therefore, not only did none of the nearly 100 officials involved in the case slip through the net, but there were also many officials who were like-minded with them on weekdays, but did not participate in the fraud in the imperial examination this time, and they were also dragged into the water.

So in the end, the list of criminals in front of Boss Zhu was as many as 250 people......

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, repeatedly looked at these dense names, and asked the prince: "Are you sure there is no torture to extract confessions?" Forcing them to bite their comrades? ”

"It's a punishment. But it was only after they confessed that the presiding judge felt that they were too easy to recruit, so he would use torture to see if there was any fraud. The prince was also speechless and said: "But after the torture, the confession is still the same......

"That's right." But Zhu Yuanzhang was still puzzled: "But is it necessary to have so many people involved?" The inner curtain officials, outer curtain officials, and invigilators of the entire Gongyuan combined, there are not so many people, right? ”

"Not really." The prince said helplessly: "But those criminals say that those people are his comrades, and the law department can only list the names of those people." ”

"Is that okay?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Is this a grudge against them?" ”

"No, they are all old friends and fellow villagers of those convicts, and those who are far away are not involved." The prince spread his hands.

"Isn't this pure and sick?" Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the idea of exploring the psychology of these prisoners. He was only in charge of sending them to the western heavens.

"Looks like we're going to have to kill again. It's only been a few years, huh? But he was still very depressed, lifted the red pen, and sneered while drawing a tick on the list:

"We thought that by killing Hu Weiyong, abolishing the prime minister, and withdrawing Zhongshu Province, these civil officials would be honest, at least they would not be as unscrupulous as before. But now it seems that we were wrong. They are still the same, and they die unrepentant! And even more rampant and stupid! ”

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became, and he even missed Hu Weiyong:

"It's really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away. At least Hu Weiyong has always been well-behaved on face, and they are so crazy that they don't even talk about the rules, and they are so stupid that they can't even do superficial kung fu! ”

"Father's anger is at ease." The prince persuaded from the side: "This is also because of the frequent turnover of court officials in recent years, except for a few departments, the chiefs of the yamen have generally been in office for less than a year, and they have not learned how to be a minister, so they are dismissed from their posts, dismissed from office, and killed at worst." The same is true for the new officials...... The more novice you are, the more incompetent you are, and the more incompetent you are, the easier it is to be condemned, and the vicious circle belongs to yes. ”

"That's because these Wenchen are not as good as a stubble, what can we do?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a sullen voice: "They have all become Shangshu waiters, do you still need us to teach them how to be officials?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the prince and said, "You have to intercede for them again, right?" ”
