Chapter 200: Misfortune Leads to the East
The next day, inside the Qilin Palace.
A group of officials led by Li Si knelt neatly in the center of the hall, and no one dared to raise their heads to look at Ying Zheng's expression at this moment.
On the high platform, Yingzheng's face was deep, as if he could drip ink.
He looked at the officials in the audience, Long Wei suppressed everyone, and they all knelt on the ground tremblingly, for fear that one of them would be accidentally executed by Yingzheng.
In this silent hall, only the sound of someone swallowing saliva can be heard.
I don't know how long it has been, and some officials have already faltered, but they don't dare to make a sound.
"Wang Juan, come on!"
"Why did the scientific expedition come to this point?!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's voice, the eyes of the officials in the middle of the hall fell on Wang Juan at the front.
Some officials know the results of today's scientific expeditions, but they don't know what is happening.
Now that they hear Ying Zheng ask, they also want to know what the problem is?
On the other hand, Wang Juan did not have the slightest panic on his face.
His body straightened up lying on the ground, although there were some beads of sweat on his nose, his expression was still calm.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about this matter."
"Those who live in Hanmo Villa were all selected by Fusu Gongzi and Lian Liangcai, and who participated in the scientific expedition was also selected after they registered."
"Every step of the minister's journey is to enter the palace and discuss with His Majesty before continuing to do it."
"Now the people in the city are not happy in their hearts, and the ministers think that it is not a big deal, but the expectations in some people's hearts have disappeared, and they deliberately belittle the court."
"If you want this matter to be completely resolved, it is better to arrest those nonsensical and demagogic Qiantou into Xianyang Prison, and teach them a lesson that there will definitely be no such words."
In a few simple words, Wang Juan took himself out, and dragged Ran Fang, Fusu and Lian Liangcai into the water.
What he meant was that if this matter was investigated, he would punish Ran Fang first, after all, he provoked it.
Therefore, the troublemakers were also sent to Xianyang Prison, and all the things were left to Ran Fang to deal with.
He didn't worry about implicating himself at all, after all, those who were "talking nonsense" outside had no chance to speak.
Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, a nameless fire suddenly surged in Ying Zheng's heart.
Ever since he had Ran Fang to make comparisons and give some good opinions on everything, his heart was unconsciously biased towards Ran Fang.
Coupled with the fact that the ministers of the court always ask questions to try to get him to solve them, he is even more angry.
This time, Ran Fang first told Zhang Han, and before Zhang Han could investigate everything clearly, it had already spread in the city, and they were still thinking about shirking responsibility!
"You are responsible for the scientific expedition, and the people who pass this scientific expedition are also selected by you, so you haven't found a clue?"
"And the person who repaired the book was also chosen by you, could it be that you didn't know anything about it?"
Ying Zheng rarely said so much in one breath except in front of Ran, and now that he has been talking for so long, he is obviously angry.
The officials in the main hall were trembling at the moment, for fear that this matter would implicate them.
Wang Juan, who was kneeling there straight, finally had a slight change on his calm face, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
His gaze swept over Li Si, and he saluted Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter that the minister has not thought through. ”
"But the people of the hundred families are always better."
"The scientific examination is to select officials for the DPRK, so it is natural to choose the people who are competent for the affairs of the DPRK and the DPRK, and in the eyes of the ministers, they are enough."
"Kechen didn't expect that it would cause such a big reaction in Xianyang City, and the minister was stupid."
"Your Majesty, please punish you."
This attitude is not bad, but this answer still does not satisfy Ying Zheng.
After Wang Juan finished speaking, Li Si also got up, looked at Yingzheng and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”
Ying Zheng didn't have any mood at the moment, he just nodded slightly, motioning for him to say directly.
Seeing this, Li Si gave a salute before he spoke: "The minister thinks that this matter is a little strange. ”
"It's been a long time since this expedition, and if someone in the city thinks it's unfair, they should have spoken out at that time."
"But after so much time, it suddenly caused a discussion in the city, and the minister felt that someone was behind it."
"As for their purpose, it must be unfavorable to Great Qin, if Your Majesty compromises this matter, what should they do if they feel that the scientific examination is unfair?"
"This scientific examination is originally for the selection of officials, if it continues like this, then what is the point of this scientific examination?"
"So, Chen Dou, this matter is just a ploy, it's better to continue like this."
"The person behind it saw that there was no room for turning back, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more."
This is not entirely true, but some of it is true.
After all, this incident happened so strangely, and it suddenly spread in the city in just a few days, and it was hard not to suspect that someone did it on purpose.
Ying Zheng also understands this truth, this scientific examination should be carried out as scheduled, but the answers that these Qiantou want to get always have a result.
"Hmm."
"How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
According to the previous early dynasties, now it is Yingzheng who proposes a solution, and the ministers each choose their own part, and the matter can be dealt with.
Now Yingzheng has handed over the matter to the ministers to mention and solve the matter, which has surprised them a little.
Even Li Si and Wang Xuan, who were arguing with reason just now, were a little stumped by Yingzheng's question.
It was Li Si who was the first to speak, he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that those who spread rumors and cause trouble in the city, as Wang Yushi said, are all imprisoned in Xianyang Prison. ”
"As for the scientific expedition, it will be carried out as scheduled, and by then the matter will be a foregone conclusion, and presumably those people will not have any more trouble."
"In this way, both of these things are solved."
I have to say that Li Si does speak more tactfully.
Don't look at what he said so much, but in fact it's still those practices, it's just a change of rhetoric.
In this way, even if something happens at that time, people will not blame him.
Ying Zheng didn't speak, but he also had his own thoughts in his heart.
Now Wang Juan and Li Si both want to push the matter on Ran Fang, which is also a good idea, after all, he still recognizes Ran Fang's ability to do things.
But there is one thing, after Ran Fang proposed the scientific examination system at that time, it is most appropriate for him to be responsible for the scientific examination.
As a result, he was worried that Ran Fang would make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China, so he handed the matter into the hands of Wang Juan, which caused this situation.
Later, Ran Fang told Zhang Han about the hidden dangers, but he did not get timely treatment, so he reached the point where he is in a dilemma.
Now I want Ran Fang to deal with this matter, I'm afraid he won't agree so easily, even if he uses his identity to suppress Ran Fang, it is inevitable that there will be emotions in the matter, and things will not be easy to do in the future.
"Wang Juan, you are still responsible for this matter, and there will be a result!"
"As for the matter of Xianyang Prison, it's up to you to tell."
