83 Calamity

"It's really not true, let's not talk about it, if she is really Pang Ruoyun's daughter, something will happen with such fanfare. Qingya looked at the little corner raised by Li Zhao, Li Qingyue was going to leave with Shen Changqing, and she didn't know what was going on in her mind.

"Does Pang Ruoyun have any other identity background?" Hearing Qingya say this, Li Zhao was even more curious.

Qingya narrowed his eyes, put his hand on the shoulder of the red ridge, and said slowly: "Pang Ruoyun's father, Pang Mengen, is the secretary of the country appointed by the first emperor Kaiyuan Shengwen Emperor. He could have risen steadily, or he could have been in charge of sacrificial wine in the country, but in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, he was involved in a scientific examination fraud case, so he was stripped of his official position and sentenced to exile in Lingnan. ”

"Pang Ruoyun was kept because he had a marriage contract with Li Chengyi, but he was ......," Qingya said and stopped.

Li Zhao asked puzzledly, "Just what?"

"It's just that inside and outside the court, there are many people who want Pang Ruoyun's life. Qingya sighed and said with a look of pity.

"Because of that scientific research fraud case?" Li Zhao made it clear at one point.

Chiji nodded on the side, he took Qingya's words, and continued: "In the imperial examination in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, a total of one hundred and twenty-nine Jinshi entered the palace and were entitled, and how many people's hopes in their lives were all buried because of Pang Mengen's thoughts. ”

"Emperor Xian canceled those people's scientific examination results?" Li Zhao asked with a frown.

"Yes, therefore, there was no champion in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, and there was no float parade in that year. Qingya replied, "Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi." It was a gate that many people couldn't get into in their entire lives, but they lost their efforts because of an unwarranted disaster. Dozens of people who were old and were stripped of their names as scholars hanged themselves at the gate of the Pang family's mansion, just because there was no hope for the rest of their lives. ”

The atmosphere in the carriage was so low that it was unspeakable.

Although Li Zhao has never experienced such a thing as the Jinshi exam, he is quite aware of the pain of canceling his grades. Decades, or even decades of hard work, turn into an illusory bubble when they see that they are about to rise to the top.

How sad.

Qingya cleared his throat and said: "Actually, the fraud case involved only a small person in the last position, but it was this small person who bribed Pang Mengen, who was one of the chief examiners, to get the exam papers of that year. After the incident, he insisted that the exam papers had been circulated to other lifters. ”

"In this way, the others will not be able to argue......" Li Zhao muttered.

"The champion of the year was the most famous Liu Taifu Liu Fuyi student in the court today, Gao Jian. Qingya snorted and continued: "Gao Jian is arrogant, naturally he can't stand this kind of frame-up, so he turned back on that person in court, although he got a good reputation among scholars because of this, but at the same time he also annoyed Emperor Kaiyuan Shengwen, and finally brought the whole thing to the irreparable abyss. ”

"Yes, all the jinshi were discredited that year. And, not only that, but they will not be able to take the entrance examination again for five years. Five years is enough to destroy everything for an ordinary student, and many people can't afford it at all. After Qingya finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and glanced out.

Outside, Li Qingyue didn't know what to say to Shen Changqing, and followed him with a happy face.

When Ruan Susu saw Qingya come out, she helplessly glanced at the figures of the two leaving, turned her head to Qingya and said, "Let her go, the road is all chosen by herself." ”

"It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die. In the carriage, Chiji shouted in a hanging voice.
