Chapter 273: The scholar rebuked his ears
Since the funeral in the second prince's mansion a few months ago, several princes in the capital have somehow stopped for a long time, in a blink of an eye, these are a few months of effort, and there is really no more staggering event in the capital! Maybe it has been too long to see that the capital has been calm, no, there is a strong wind blowing in the court today, blowing the entire capital!
This matter has to start with the imperial examination yesterday, originally this holy opening of Enke is also a good thing for those scholars, who would have thought that in today's court, His Royal Highness the crown prince told a big secret in this imperial examination!
"Father, the son has a book to play!" Just after the eunuch Cao Ji shouted through the court in his sharp voice, the prince held the wat board in his hand, stepped forward, walked out of the crowd, bowed to his father above him, bowed his head, and spoke!
Seeing that it was his own prince who could speak, Jiang Lie's face was also a little surprised, his own child knew that his prince's temperament had always been a little steady, if there was no major event, with his character of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, he would definitely not have said anything!
Thinking of this, today's early dynasty was the first to speak, and I don't know what happened! So, after Jiang Lie glanced at it, he also opened his mouth and said: "If there is anything, the emperor will say it directly!" Then, with a wave of his hand, he signaled to the great eunuch Cao Ji beside him!
Cao Ji knew the etiquette above the court, and even more so he knew the meaning of his master, bent over, quickly moved his small steps, and came to the front of the prince Jiang Boyo!
Seeing this, Jiang Boyao did not hesitate for a moment, reached into his arms, took out a copy and walked it, handed it to Cao Ji's hand, and waited for Cao Ji to go back and hand it to his father, this prince Jiang Boyao spoke again!
"Erchen just learned about this matter yesterday, I never thought that the Enke opened by my father would become a matter of those individuals who cheat and seek profit to accumulate money, father, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end, otherwise, wouldn't it make the world's scholars cold!"
Jiang Lie looked down at the letter, his face was full of gloom, and he pressed his hands to close the fold, but this Jiang Lie also had a body of cultivation, and he couldn't eat the strength on Jiang Lie's hands, and in an instant, all of them turned into powder!
The courtiers below, after seeing such a situation, looked surprised on their faces, this Great Qi has been unified for seventeen years, and I have seen this majesty have such a great anger there!
On the other hand, the second prince who is the chief examiner of the scientific examination is also indispensable in his heart, but he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his kung fu can still be taken on the stage, even if his heart is turbulent, but his face is still very calm, and after glancing at the prince on the side, the two princes also took a step, walked out of the crowd, and came to the side of the prince!
The two princes also held the wat board in their hands, and bowed their hands to their father, and the two princes bowed their heads and said: "Father Mingjian, this scientific examination was personally arranged by the sons, as the chief examiner, the sons and daughters have never known such a major event, how could the emperor know first!"
In these efforts, the agitation in Jiang Lie's heart also calmed down, and after hearing the words of the second prince this time, there was no joy or anger on his face, but after a little thought, he turned to look at the prince, and then spoke: "Yes, how did the prince know about this!"
As if he had expected such a thing early, the prince still drooped his head and opened his mouth to Jiang Lie above: "Speaking of which, this matter is really not discovered by Erchen, but this year's Hanzhou Xie Yuan Fang Bai knew about such things, and when he went out of the examination room, he happened to meet Erchen, and he felt unfair in his heart, so he told Erchen about such things, and asked those scholars of Erchen to seek justice!"
"Hanzhou Xie Yuan, how did he know about such a missing question?" Jiang Lie's brows tightened slightly, his eyes still fell on the prince's body, and he spoke softly!
"It's just because Fang Jieyuan's wife also bought a copy of the leaked exam questions!" This Jiang Boyu had already thought about these words, and the answers were fluent, and when he said this, this prince didn't forget to praise that Fang Jieyuan, "Speaking of this, I have to talk about the personality of Hanzhou Xie Yuan, which is really admirable!"
"I can never forget it, even if I know those exam questions in advance, I have never done such dirty things as cheating in the field, but I just handed in a blank paper!"
After the second prince on that side heard these words, he couldn't help it anymore, and the whole thing collapsed, not for anything else, the name of Hanzhou Xie Yuan Fangbai, even as the second prince, he had heard of it in the capital, and those great Confucians in the capital favored him well, and even more, before the exam started, he had already made an assertion that the top three on the gold list would definitely have this person's name!
This time, the prince told this person's name, and this thing is also true! Thinking that under his own arrangement, Enke actually gave birth to such a major event of missing the topic and cheating, how can the mood of these two princes be better! Even if he does not say that the father and emperor above are dissatisfied with himself, even if he is also a Confucian student, he can't see such things happen!
"Hanzhou Xie Yuan?" After listening to the prince's words, the Great Qi Weilie Emperor muttered softly, and some doubts flashed on his face,
Even if His Majesty is not a Confucian student, but as the lord of a country, he also knows the reputation of the poor mountains and bad waters of Hanzhou, how many years have passed, and there has never been a single third-class jinshi in the entire state capital, and it seems that a good talent has been born this time!
"This is the Enke opened by me, if you want to say that someone has the courage to dare to use other means in this imperial examination, I also have a little bit of disbelief! But what the prince said is so clear-sighted, I can't allow me not to believe it! Qin Xiang, who should you listen to about this matter!"
Qin Huizhi, who was standing on the side, heard that His Majesty had called his name, and hurriedly stepped forward, and also came to the side of the two princes, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing that this Chao Zuo Xiang actually appeared like this, Jiang Lie was so angry that he couldn't hold back anymore, a little smile appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth and scolded with a smile: "It is said that you Qin Huizhi is an old fox, and today is like this, those words really did not wronged you! What did I say, you said that I am wise?"
Qin Huizhi also had a smile on his face, looked up at this His Majesty and said: "Didn't Your Majesty already make a decision? Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's mission!"
Jiang Lie's face froze, and then, looking at Qin Huizhi below, he didn't know whether to scold him or praise him, he thought for a moment, and didn't say anything more, just waved his hand lightly, and said: "Since Qin Xiang wants to take over such a thing, I am naturally happy, but Qin Xiang is old after all, and his energy will inevitably be a little insufficient, so let the prince and Qin Xiang investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Son's Command!"
"Command!"
......
Above the court, after the early dynasty dispersed, the courtiers above the court also dispersed, and even the prince and the second prince did not stay here for more, and each returned to his own mansion to discuss these things!
I got the answer I wanted, the prince's heart was full of joy, all these years, he finally relied on his own ability to really overpower the second prince in the court, this time he raised his eyebrows, and let the courtiers who stood on the side of the second prince early take a good look at who is the prince of this great qi!
After waiting for the prince Jiang Boyao to return to his house, he saw that there was a carriage in front of his house, looking at the familiar sign on the carriage, Jiang Boyao was a little excited in his heart, and the speed under his feet accelerated a little, and he came to his own mansion and saw the people in the courtyard, this prince spoke!
"But Mr. Guo arrived at the house?"
The subordinate glanced at the prince, raised his eyes, nodded lightly, and whispered: "Yes, this morning, after His Royal Highness just went to the Morning Dynasty, Mr. Guo came to the mansion, saying that he had something to discuss with His Highness, and he has not left until now!"
These words have not been heard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can no longer hold back the eagerness in his heart, raised his feet, trotted all the way to the hall of his house, sure enough, Mr. Guo is sitting in his own hall, sipping tea!
That Mr. Guo saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come here, so he quickly stood up and bowed to the Prince over there, and then, Mr. Guo said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Xia, but His Royal Highness has asked me to wait!"
"Haha, I just had some things in the court, so I delayed it, and I will make amends to Mr. here first!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said softly, and while speaking, he also paced the hall, raised his hand, and said, "Sir, please take a seat!"
Mr. Guo sat down, and said softly: "Sit all the time!" After waiting for Mr. Guo to sit back in his seat completely, Mr. Guo then opened his mouth and said to the prince: "Your Highness has been angry in the court this time?"
After hearing these words, the expressions of the prince's palace suddenly froze, and there was a little embarrassment on their faces. Indeed, this matter was the idea of himself and this Mr. Guo before, but yesterday Fang Xie Yuan came to find him, he did not tell Mr. Guo, let alone did not discuss with Mr. Guo, so he decided on today's matter, speaking of which, it is indeed a bit rude!
Thinking of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got up, bowed to Mr. Guo over there, and said: "This matter is a rude affair, and I have made amends to Mr. Guo this time, and I hope Mr. Guo will not take it to heart!"
Seeing this, Mr. Guo's face was quite calm, but he quickly stood up, pretending to be flattered, and said: "What is Your Highness doing, this time, it's really tormented!" As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to hold the prince's two arms!
The prince was not persistent, and then Mr. Guo's strength, straightened up, and continued: "Seeing Mr. Guo coming this time, I thought he was blaming Boyo for acting recklessly, and he came to blame!"
Mr. Guo waved his hand, "As a strategist, don't you dare to pick the master?" As he spoke, Mr. Guo sat back again, raised his hand, held up the cup of tea on his table, skimmed the hot air on it with a lid, and took a sip of tea!
After drinking these teas, he carefully put the teacup back on the table beside him
, then raised his eyes and said to the prince: "It's just that the prince's actions are indeed a little reckless, if you wait for the day when you take the list and then poke out such things, this time it will be a different situation!"
After listening to these words, even the prince Jiang Boyo's face was also confused, I really didn't understand the calculations of these scholars, anyway, they all wanted to poke out, and they all wanted to use this matter to kick the second prince, when did it matter?
It's just that even if he didn't have much understanding in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never said it, after all, he was also a master, and if he didn't understand, he had to pretend to understand!
What a character Mr. Guo is, he has such a delicate mind, he can naturally see the doubts on the prince's face, but he also knows his duty as a strategist, so he didn't say more words, but then he said again: "I've heard those eyeliners say before, the prince told the matter of that Fang Xie Yuan in the Jinluan Palace, and compared to that Fang Xie Yuan, there will definitely be some troubles this time!"
......
I was really sure by that Mr. Guo, this Fang Jieyuan did have a lot of trouble this morning! These troubles did not come from other places, but in this Dengke Building, those scholars, looking at this Fang Jieyuan's face, were very bad!
It's just that if you think about it carefully, anyway, the cheating scholars have spent money, and there are a few kind-hearted people, and they once thought about showing this exam question in their hands to that Fang Jieyuan, who would have thought that it was the Fang Jieyuan who wanted to make friends with them before who exposed the fraud in this field!
This matter was stabbed out by this Fang Jieyuan, Mo said that the silver taels that he had spent before were accused of such fraud in the field, as long as the court did not blame it, it would be good!
But this Fang Xie Yuan had thought of such things there, in this Fang Xie Yuan's heart, aren't all scholars law-abiding and self-denying? It is because of this that this Fang Xie Yuan did not have the slightest defense, or as usual, this Fang Xie Yuan stayed in his room to study, and when he felt that he had nothing in his stomach, this Fang Xie Yuan went downstairs, planning to ask the shopkeeper for something!
Just when Fang Xie Yuan went downstairs, he walked down the stairs step by step, and he also found that there was something wrong with the eyes of those scholars looking at him, but he didn't think much about it, and he raised his feet and came to the cabinet of the Dengke Building, and was just about to speak, when he saw that the shopkeeper raised his eyes to look at him, and there was a little strange in his eyes!
"Fang Xie Yuan is down!" The shopkeeper was the first to speak, and he didn't know what was wrong today, so he didn't call his abacus!
"Yes, I'm hungry, come down and call for something!" Fang Bai said as he raised his eyes and looked behind the shopkeeper, his eyes were looking at the price of this Dengke Building, and he was also thinking in his heart, what would he eat today?
Who would have thought that as soon as Fang Bai's words fell, he saw that the shopkeeper took a few ingots of silver from the counter, put them in front of Fang Bai, and said, "Fang Xie Yuan will wait for the villain to finish these words!"
Hearing these words, this white face was stunned, and he was also confused, looking at the opening of the shopkeeper over there, and whispered: "The shopkeeper said that's it!"
"In these days, Fang Xie Yuan has spent a total of thirteen taels of silver in this store, and this is twenty taels of silver in front of him, Fang Xie Yuan accepted these silver taels first, and at that time, the store compensated you, so let's go to another store!"
"That's it, let's go, you're not welcome here!"
"Hmph, such a snitch villain, I still have read the books of sages for many years, and it is a shame for us to be in the company of such people!"
"That's it, don't stay in this Shangjing City, hurry back to your Hanzhou! You Hanzhou people have done such things, no wonder it's such a New Year, there is not even a third-class jinshi!"
As the shopkeeper's words fell, those scholars couldn't help the grievances in their hearts, and they all opened their mouths to insult Fang Bai!
After Fang Bai saw these scenes, he still couldn't figure out in his heart, it must be his own affairs that were known by these scholars, and these scholars held a grudge against themselves, so they threatened the shopkeeper to do such a thing! This shopkeeper knew the truth of such anger and injustice, and between the weight and the weight, he naturally knew how to choose!
As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there are no fish! This Fang Bai had also thought about the consequences of such a thing before, but he really never thought that these scholars would react like this, not ashamed of their cheating, but pointed the finger at themselves, and there was a little bit of fire in his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, this most brilliant Xie Yuanjing in Hanzhou took a step forward, pinned one hand behind him, and the other hung in front of him, looking at those excited scholars, he said loudly!
"Why do we and other scholars study? Are we glorifying our ancestors, fighting for power and profit, or greedy for fame? No, we are reading in vain, but we are just four characters, and we are determined to set our hearts and lives, to establish our hearts and minds, to establish our hearts and minds, and to establish our people's lives! You and others have cheated in the field, and you have already made mistakes in the first place, how can you still blame our Bai this time, don't we say that this incident has never happened? What is the difference between this and the Song people covering their ears and stealing the bell?"
......
Determined to die, the scholar rebuked his ears!
