Yi Song

Chapter 186 The wonderful performance of Huixian Palace

Don't be angry, don't be angry with these bastards.

My body is my own. If I get angry, I can’t touch mahjong or pamper the beauty!

You must not be angry with them!

Zhao Ji secretly worked on himself mentally. After half a quarter of an hour, he finally relaxed his breath and calmed down his mood.

"Tell me, how did you six do such a shameful thing?" Zhao Ji asked lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Kai answered first.

"Your Majesty, it's Mo Chou who knows the Tribute Examination. Not only does he have the highest official rank and the most famous reputation, he is also the chief Tribute Examination appointed by the officials. He was the one who took the initiative to formulate the title and it was drafted a month ago.

Then at every literary meeting, he would tell others without shame that I would probably take the test for this exam, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know. The day before yesterday, I and others went into retreat at the Tribute Academy to discuss and formulate examination questions. I strongly suggest that other questions be drafted to be fair.

Mo Chou just refused to listen. He relied on his official position and reputation to suppress his ministers. He refused to listen to his ministers and insisted on taking the exam questions that had been drawn up a month ago as the official exam questions. The result was such a disaster. "

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

As long as I can get away, the friendship that I have had for many years is just paper.

The four colleagues, Gongju, looked at Wu Kai with wide eyes.

There is currently no evidence of leakage of the Tiemo title.

Mo Chang stared at Wu Kai fiercely, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and said loudly: "I know that I am guilty. I leaked the test questions. I am willing to be severely punished by the laws of the country and the king.

What is the priority between 'making up flattery to please' and 'choosing talents and virtues'? 'Both have the meaning of yin and yang officials, but 'making up sycophants to please' refers directly to the reviled Zhu Meng and Cai Jing, and slaps the officials in the face.

Leaving the drafting of the title of Tie Mo to four fellow intellectuals was an attempt to gain allies.

"Your Majesty, the five of them secretly colluded to exclude and oppress me. I have no right to ask questions, and they will not even let me ask questions. I am innocent in this matter, and I am unjustly accused."

Zhao Ji, however, was so angry that he went to his forehead.

I only told Zhao Sifu, the governor of Gaomi County Prince's Mansion, about the topic and did not tell anyone else. I do know that Wu Kai told Yang Jian, Yang Sancai, Yang Sancai, Cai You, Wang Shiyong, Huang Qianshan, Wu Min and others. "

Besides, given its importance, it would be leaked if it were leaked. The four fellow magistrates Gongju could not bear many charges.

Then he dragged Zhao Kai, and asked Wu Kai to drag Yang Jian and many ministers, which was the second attack.

Wu Kai knew that the situation was critical, so Mo Chou and four fellow magistrates, Gongju, poured the dirtiest and smelliest sewage on his head and immediately complained.

Everything you say is our word!

You can at least leave one or two excuses so that we can get by. Why did he put all the excuses on his head in one breath, leaving no way for us to survive?

This stabbing was so subtle that only Liu Guozhang could fully appreciate it. I couldn't help but admire that this No. 1 scholar was really so astute and smart.

The four colleagues who knew Gongju were all smart people and immediately echoed: "Replying to your majesty, what Mo Xueshi said is true. We have drawn up the topic of the ink, the topic of the thesis was drawn up by Wu Guanren, and the topic of the policy paper was drawn by Mo Xueshi. It was drafted, and we only found out about the title after entering the Gongyuan Courthouse the day before yesterday."

Mo Chuan dumped the former to Wu Kai, which was equivalent to the first stab in the arm.

The six people were divided into two groups, and they exposed each other's background and fought fiercely.

Wu Kai is following his plan. Aren't you guys working together to deceive me? Okay, let me just say that you are secretly colluding to hurt each other! Who is afraid of whom!

But I need to clarify that the title of the ink was drafted by four colleagues, Gong Ju, the title of the essay "Making sycophants to please" was drafted by Wu Kai, and the title of the policy essay was "What is the priority in selecting talents and virtues?" 'It was the minister who made the decision.

Mo Chou's move was tantamount to telling his four colleagues, Gongju, that if you want to escape, just agree with me and help crucify Wu Kai together. Otherwise, you have a share in formulating the policy and discussion topic, you have a share in the leakage, and everyone is finished together.

Wang Fu, Zheng Juzhong, Bai Shizhong and Liu Guozhang looked at each other coldly, as if they were watching a sideshow of monkeys fighting each other.

These pretentious speeches to please the king's treacherous ministers were all promoted by you as an official!

'What is the first priority in selecting talents and virtues? 'Although it has the meaning of yin and yang official family, the meaning is vague, and it seizes the commanding heights of justice and morality, so it can be fooled.

The No. 1 scholar is the No. 1 scholar, his magnanimity is extraordinary, and he is also thoughtful and astute. He does not shirk responsibility when he speaks out, but acknowledges it first, and then flies towards Wu Kai, who betrayed and betrayed him, like a sword.

First the third brother Zhao Kai, and then Yang Jian, are you just happy to drag everyone around me down?

"Your Majesty, Cai You is bowing down at the palace gate, saying that the provincial examination questions have been leaked, and he has come to speak out."

A servant reported outside the palace gate.

What! What is Cai You here for? Don’t you think this place is chaotic enough?

Mo Chuan, Wu Kai and four colleagues, Gongju, looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Cai Dalang meant by coming here at this time.

The examination questions were only related to Cai Laosan and Cai Laowu, and had nothing to do with him. Zheng Juzhong and Bai Shizhong glanced at Wang Fu and continued to remain silent.

Yang Jian's heart moved, remembering the secret letter that Cai You had sent to him the night before.

What he said implicitly was that he was following his lead and was a little tempted.

Cai You knows how to be a good person, and he also knows how to do things.

During this period, I found various excuses not to go to Hongzhou, Jiangxi to take up my post, and went around to camp. As a result, Empress Zheng, the prince, Zheng Juzhong, Bai Shizhong, Huang Jingchen, Yang Ruoshui, Liang Fangping, and everyone around the official family were arrested one by one. Next, only the last threshold remains.

Now that he has come forward, he must be launching the final blow to make the officials forgive him completely.

His biological father, Cai Jing, was the backbone of the Yuanfeng Party. He had been in high and low officialdom for decades, and had been in power for more than ten years. He had countless party members in the DPRK and China, so he always had to have a place to rely on.

Taking the opportunity to recruit some of the remaining members, wouldn't his wings be strengthened again?

This boy has "hate to destroy his family" and "hate to kill his father" with Liu Erlang. In the future, he will fight with Liu Erlang, and he can definitely become his general to protect the law.

good! Take it upon yourself to help.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination and the provincial examination are a major event in the world, so we should not be careless. If you listen to one more person's statement, you can have a clearer understanding of the whole story. Your Majesty is impartial and impartial in dealing with matters, and he will surely convince both the government and the public.

I have been accused of being involved, and I dare not comment further. I only ask that Your Majesty listen to more kind words and restore the truth. "

Yang Jian's words touched Zhao Ji's mind. It concerned his third brother, Yang Jian and other people around him, as well as several trusted ministers. Of course he wanted to distance them in an "impartial and impartial" manner.

It’s hard to tell clearly just by listening to the dog-eating-dog talk of six people including Mo Chuan and Wu Kai. Listening to Cai You’s words, you might be able to discover the “truth” you expect.

This guy has always been very smart and understands my thoughts very well.

"Call in!" Zhao Ji said calmly.

Soon, Cai You, dressed in green robe, followed Xiao Huangmen with his head lowered, following suit, appearing extra cautious.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Cai You!" Cai You saluted in a serious manner.

It's like a completely different person.

Before, when he entered Baozhuan Palace, he felt as comfortable as entering his own home. But now, he was afraid of falling leaves and hitting his head.

Zhao Ji sighed deeply in his heart and said involuntarily: "No courtesy. Cai Dalang, long time no see."

Cai You raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, his lips trembling, as if he was going to cry in the next breath. He tried his best to suppress his excited emotions and kept all his grievances in his stomach.

"Guanjia, I haven't seen you for forty-nine days. You've lost some weight. It's really heartbreaking to call me a minister."

He said these words tremblingly and hoarsely, and the grievances in his belly finally overflowed, spinning in his eyes a few times, turning into two lines of hot tears, flowing silently on both sides of his face.

What a good actor!

Much stronger than Cai Laosan who is still holding it now.

Liu Guozhang and everyone quietly watched Cai You's wonderful performance in the Huixian Palace.

The emotional Zhao Ji was moved.

Looking at Cai You, he sighed, "Cai Qing, I have wronged you!"

Cai Dalang's carefully prepared performance finally achieved results, and he continued to work hard.

"Your Majesty, I am not aggrieved. I have brought it upon myself. The provincial examination questions were leaked this time. I knew the inside story but did not report it to Your Majesty in time. I deserve death!"

"You know the inside story, so let's talk about it." Zhao Ji said kindly.

"Yes. The leak of the test questions started as early as August or September last year. It was originally proposed by my fifth brother and organized together with the third brother. The purpose was to help the three kings win the first prize in this year's Chunwei High School and win the favor of the officials."

Cai You's words made Yang Jian raise his eyebrows. Well, why did it last year? It’s completely different from what I thought!
