Chapter 399: The Assassination Case of No. 25 House Thirty-four
In the early court today, Father-in-law Bian, who was beside the newly promoted companion, raised his voice with a fox and a fake tiger, and kept shouting at the courtiers below in a harsh voice, who committed this bold thing of raiding the family and exterminating the clan?
Shocked that a group of courtiers shouted loudly, making the early court like a flock of ducks breaking into the pigsty, not to mention how chaotic it was.
Yu Runsheng, the Qing of Honglu Temple, has heard of it, and he has been depressed when he heard that he was working under the Hanlin Academy of the Ministry of Rites. Even when the Enke exam was released this year, he failed to participate.
Now that he broke the news of such a thing, people can't help but speculate that he intended to target the Hanlin Academy.
And last night, from the mouth of Ruicao, who turned into a and entered the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion to listen, Mu Yirong already knew that the eldest prince wanted to promote this matter behind his back.
It seems that Yu Runsheng, who has been depressed all the year round, is the promoter selected by the eldest prince.
Yu Runsheng's report on the leakage of Enke's examination papers ignited a cannonball, which caused the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, the cabinet scholars, and the Guozi priest to all jump out and accuse him of nonsense.
Before the start of the exam this year, the test papers were locked in the "test paper pavilion" together, the gatehouse was locked, and there were guards guarding them, how could they be stolen and leaked out.
The scholars of the Hanlin Academy have a great friendship with the maternal grandfather of the second prince, and those who support the eldest prince and the third prince will naturally not miss such an opportunity. The questions of the test papers are not necessarily leaked out of the test paper cabinet, but they may also be leaked by the person who wrote the questions.
The questions of the Enke exam are all handled by the Hanlin Academy, and as soon as this remark came out, it was naturally aimed directly at the Hanlin Academy.
The scholars of the Hanlin Academy and others resolutely denied it, saying that this matter was purely a rumor, and there was absolutely no leakage, so that everyone should not make trouble and spread rumors.
Whether it is rumors or not, you will know by comparing the questions circulating outside with the test papers.
Yu Runsheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple, took out a few test papers from his arms and presented them with both hands.
Gonggong Bian looked at Emperor Xuanyuan, and when he saw his signal, he stepped down from His Majesty Dan and took the scroll from the hand of Yu Runsheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple.
Every year, when the Hanlin Academy issues test questions, Emperor Xuanyuan will be seen in advance, and only when Emperor Xuanyuan nods and approves can they officially set the questions.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who had read the questions of this year's Enke exam, only flipped two or three pages, and then slammed the test paper on the ground.
It is true that the question of this year's Enke exam is not wrong, Emperor Xuanyuan was so angry that his beard trembled, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.
"Do you secretly leak the topic, do you want this Manchu Dynasty to become a member of your Hanlin Academy?
The original purpose of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy was to make money, and if they could train a few students from their own camp by the way, it would naturally be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, but they definitely had no intention of rebelling.
Seeing that the evidence was conclusive, Emperor Xuanyuan was furious, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, the cabinet scholars, and the priests of the country knelt down in a large area, and shouted three times to calm the anger.
The old fritters of the officialdom are Yan Gao, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, spitting at the sky, swearing that it is definitely not the people of the Hanlin Academy who leak the topic.
It is very likely that the guards on the side of the test paper pavilion are not strictly supervised, which makes people take advantage of the loopholes, steal the test papers, and leak them out.
There was indeed such a possibility, and the angry Emperor Xuanyuan immediately ordered the guards guarding the examination paper pavilion and the master of the Tribute Academy to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department and interrogated him strictly to see who was so bold and reckless that he dared to shake the foundation of his country.
The Hanlin Academy, which was led to the east of the disaster, escaped, and the academicians were only fined and severely punished by the saints.
Such a punishment as a fine is nothing for several adults in the Hanlin Academy, and it is already a blessing in misfortune that things have developed to this point.
However, after this incident, several scholars of the Hanlin Academy hated Yu Runsheng of Honglu Temple, and waited for the next dynasty to clean him up immediately.
Enke exam questions were leaked, and the eldest prince advocated that this year's Enke exam should not be counted and should be re-assessed. In order not to ask for the title of the gold list, all the candidates in the middle of the examination are some wine bags and rice bags that have bought the test papers in advance.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who was very angry about this matter, waved his hand weakly and handed over this matter to the eldest prince and the Ministry of Rites.
The eldest prince immediately thanked him, and recommended Yu Runsheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple, saying that he was honest and loyal to the monarch and dared to expose the leaking incident, so it was better for him to draw up the exam questions from scratch.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who only cared about who dared to make small moves behind his back, was too lazy to deal with the follow-up matters, nodded again, and agreed to the plea of the eldest prince.
Yu Runsheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple, immediately stepped forward to thank him, and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
The turmoil of the leaking case is over, but the murderer of the scholar Zhongju has not yet been caught, and Mu Jingzhong, who has a serious face, frowned, he feels that the case of the scholar Zhongju may not be so simple and end easily.
Mu Yirong told Mu Jingzhong that they had locked the murderer as Hanlin Academy, but so far, they have not found any useful clues.
Several bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, after this morning, all thought about it behind closed doors at home, and their hearts were depressed and annoyed, if Mu Yirong and Ruicao went to visit at this time, I am afraid they would be closed.
It's just that Mu Jingzhong is not worried about this matter, he feels that if the death of scholar Zhongju is really the work of the Hanlin Academy, if the scholars of the Hanlin Academy step down, the court may have a great shock.
Seocho, who had been listening silently, remembered what the mountain god of Qilin Mountain had said to her before, that there would be a renewal of the human imperial power.
It is inevitable that the country will change hands!
She just hoped that in the midst of the shaking waves of this field, Mufu would not be affected in any way.
Mu Yirong, who is also in the officialdom, has already smelled the smell of wind and rain.
But no matter what kind of turmoil happens, he will do his best to protect Mufu and Seocho from safety!
In front of the vermilion gate of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Mu Yirong buttoned the door knocker, and the janitor boy quickly opened the door and stepped out to ask.
Mu Yirong reported to his home, and the little boy turned around and hurriedly ran to tell him, and after a while, he ran back, saying that his old man and scholar complained and refused to see guests.
Mu Yirong, who had already been mentally prepared, asked the janitor boy to pass a word to him again.
This time, the janitor boy who went and returned welcomed Mu Yirong and Seocho in.
The curious Seocho approached Mu Yirong and asked him what he had said to the scholar of the Hallym Academy?
Mu Yirong, who was smiling, only replied with four words, "Scholar Zhongju".
The courtyard of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy is decorated very elegantly and quietly, in the huge hall, there are hanging calligraphy and paintings of celebrities everywhere, and the tea sets on the table are all plain and elegant celadons, and the whole room gives people the feeling that it is one word, "elegant".
