Chapter 579 Chief Governor Ji Finally Comes Out
"Hanwang and Zhaowang's series of plots against the prince last year were based on Ji Gang's experience in the previous year. It was under the demonstration of Ji Dudu that they realized that they could use the emperor's fear of being challenged to bring down the prince." Yan Yan Qingdao: "If it wasn't for all the ministers desperately protecting each other, and the adults who made the final decision in Shanxi, the crown prince might really fall."

Wang Xian listened silently, as if he had eaten honey in his heart.Originally, he only regarded Yan Qing as a master at solving crimes, but he never thought that this person could give advice to the world. It is really a treasure.

"The emperor calms down afterwards, and he will understand that he is not a winner at all. For the sake of the so-called face, destroying the court's laws with one hand, what is the action of a wise king?" Yan Qing said slowly: "The emperor wants to be the emperor through the ages, what? Is it an emperor through the ages? You can be cruel and usurp the throne, but you must not be fooled! So after thinking about it, the emperor must feel more uncomfortable? Moreover, Liu Shangshu and Wang Zongxian are important ministers of the country with noble character, but because of this It is impossible for the emperor not to regret being demoted from the imperial court. Therefore, the reason why the emperor agreed to a retrial as soon as the cheap nephew filed a complaint is because the emperor wanted to retry the case!"

"En." Wang Xian nodded, admitting that what Yan Qing said made sense.

"But the emperor will definitely be worried that the trial of the case will not be controlled. What if there is something that will damage the reputation?" Yan Qingyu said with a touch of sarcasm: "So the emperor's concern for this case far exceeds his performance. Come out, this time we are going to open the Hades Hall to interrogate Li Chun at night, and your lord said that the emperor can bear it?"

"I really can't help it." Wang Xian couldn't help nodding and said: "It seems that if those nobles are not allowed to come together, the emperor has already foreseen the possibility of losing face..."

"So you don't have to worry about it at all, we are actually following the emperor's will," Yan Qing said slowly: "Even if the emperor loses face for a while, when the anger subsides, he will only think that the emperor is loyal and capable, and will not think You made him look bad on purpose."

"Haha, let you say this, I can finally sleep peacefully." Wang Xian said with a smile: "In any case, I still want to congratulate Brother Yan for clearing his grievances and regaining his freedom!"

"Hehe..." Yan Qing smiled and touched his thigh with his hands, obviously not much excited.Even if the emperor rehabilitated him, his legs would never heal, and he would no longer be able to serve as an official. He would still be an out-and-out... useless person.

Wang Xian knew what Yan Qing was depressed about, but he couldn't persuade him about this kind of thing, so he could only divert Yan Qing's attention and said, "Tell me, how big is the blow to Ji Gang this time?"

"Ji Gang..." Yan Qing thought about it and said softly, "It must have dealt a heavy blow to him, but it wasn't fatal."

"Yes, as we said that time, as long as he is not charged with that crime, it will be difficult for the emperor to make up his mind to get rid of him." Wang Xian nodded.

"What your lord said is very true," Yan Qing frowned and said, "And the emperor will go to Beijing soon, and this trip will last for a year and a half. At this time, Ji Gang will not be touched."

"That's right, the emperor still needs this watchdog to watch over his house." Wang Xian nodded.

"So for adults, hard days are still ahead," Yan Qing said solemnly: "And Ji Gang must have realized that he has become a yellow flower in the future, and that will be his last chance. Beware of him jumping over the wall in a hurry!"

"Yes." Wang Xian said deeply: "Next, it will be the decisive moment." He held Yan Qing's shoulder and said: "Brother Zilian, please help me!"

"Don't worry, my lord," Yan Qing said with a concentrated gaze, "Ji Gang is my real enemy!"

Wang Xian was both happy and worried when he heard the words, because the subtext of Yan Qing's words was that he would not leave before killing Ji Gang, but after killing Ji Gang, he would have no reason to stay here anymore...

Of course, Wang Xian would not let the cooked duck fly away, but fortunately, it will not take a year or so to kill Ji Gang, and he still has time to influence this guy a little bit...

.

The ninth day of March is the day when the examination results will be released. As soon as the auspicious time comes, three cannons are fired, and the Gongyuan, which has been closed for more than ten days, is finally opened. Two teams of brocade guards in red official robes, guarding the examiners holding the examinations, come Go to the vermilion wall on the east side of the Gongyuan.

In front of that vermilion wall, a ladder has been set up long ago, and in front of the ladder, there are ten floors inside and outside surrounded by the candidates and their family members who came to see the list. As long as the officials post the imperial list on it, they will rush up and rush to see it. Whether he is the title of the gold list!

"Hey, I won!" From time to time, there was a sound of ecstasy, and the examinee squeezed out the crowd to celebrate amidst the compliments of the crowd.Of course, the winners have reason to congratulate, because although there will be a palace test after the general test, the palace test will not fail the ranking, that is to say, as long as you are on the list today, as long as you don't make any big mistakes in the palace test, you will be a Jinshi!

Ten years and 20 years of hard work have finally come to a result at this moment. If you don't lose your temper, don't be arrogant, and don't shed tears, it is called inhumane.

On the contrary, most of the unknown candidates on the list just sighed sadly and congratulated Qi Xianda's same year calmly, few of them were too disappointed.This is not difficult to understand, after all, they are already Juren, even if they do not make further progress in their lives, their status and status are far higher than those of the same age who were underdeveloped, and they can still enjoy a good life.What's more, you can take the test again after three years, and the difficulty is much less than the rural test.

The so-called elegance has always been based on the premise of being calm.

Therefore, the atmosphere outside the Gongyuan is generally joyful and harmonious.At this time, the examiners who had been imprisoned in the Gongyuan for more than 20 days could finally regain their freedom.When the gate of the tribute courtyard was opened, the examiners saw dozens of brocade guards wearing red official uniforms, guarding a large sedan chair with eight carriages. Naturally, they were waiting for Ji Gang.

When Ji Gang's figure appeared at the gate of the Gongyuan, Yuan Jiang and Wang Qian, the team leaders, rushed up, knelt down in front of him, and kowtowed: "Welcome the ancestor to leave the customs!"

"Welcome the ancestors to leave the customs!" All the guards in Jinyi also knelt down in unison, full of momentum.

"Hmm." Ji Gang nodded, and took a deep breath of the air outside the Gongyuan. Although it was only separated by a wall, it made his heart feel hot.The test discipline for this re-examination is extremely strict, and no one dares to make a mistake. As a result, he is supervised in the Gongyuan, just like being in prison, without knowing anything about the outside world...

Although he was eager to know what happened during his absence, Ji Gang still maintained the composure of a first-rank official. He nodded to his disciples and grandchildren, and sat firmly in the sedan chair.

"Get up the sedan chair!" Accompanied by Yuan Jiang's call, the eight-carried sedan chair was lifted up steadily, and slowly headed towards the Jinyiwei Yamen.

When the sedan chair landed in the Jinyiwei Yamen, what Ji Gang saw was another scene. As soon as the sedan chair curtain was lifted, he saw a group of disciples and grandchildren crying and saying: "Old ancestor, you are back..."

"Why, what happened?" Ji Gang's heart tightened, and he stepped into the signing room, and the servants quickly took off the cloak, official robe, and boots for him, and Ji Gang took the soaked and wrung out by himself. Clean face with white towel.

"Then Wang Xian really made trouble while the governor was away," Zhuang Jing reported softly from the side: "He first cleaned up Pang Ying, and then pried Li Chun's mouth open..."

Ji Gang wasn't interested in the former, but when he heard the latter's move, the movements of his hands stopped immediately, and asked in a dark voice: "Li Chun made a move?"

"Recruited." Zhuang Jing nodded and said bitterly.

"How is it possible? Even if he's tired of working, doesn't he care about the lives of his family of a hundred?" Ji Gang's face dripped sullenly: "You too, didn't I authorize you to prevent him from opening the hall during this period of time! "

"Dong Weng doesn't know something..." Zhuang Jing sighed and said, "Wang Xian invited Yan Qing, the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, back, and Yan Qing gave him an idea—to learn from Bao Zheng's night trial of Guo Huai and let Li Chun mistakenly thought that he had gone to the underworld, so he would give up everything in front of the King of Hades..."

"Ridiculous!" Ji Gang said angrily, "Did Li Chun lose his mind after eating lard? He can even believe such indecent tricks!"

"In any case, he has already recruited..." Zhuang Jing looked at Ji Gang timidly, and whispered: "And the emperor was there at that time..."

"The emperor is also there?" Ji Gang was originally annoyed, but when he heard the words, his hairs stood on end, and his calm face suddenly said: "What did Li Chun say?"

"I've said it all..." Zhuang Jing said dejectedly, although the emperor strictly ordered everyone not to leak it, there were not a few people who knew about it that day, so how could they hide it from the powerful Jin Yiwei?
"What did you say?" Ji Gang grabbed Zhuang Jing's wrist and asked in a dark voice.

"What should be said... what should not be said..." Zhuang Jing said timidly.

"I killed him!" An abnormal blush flashed across Ji Gang's face, and he said in a hateful voice.His hands were like iron tongs, and Zhuang Jing was in severe pain, his face was sweating, but he didn't dare to struggle.

Fortunately, before Zhuang Jing's bone fractured, Ji Gang let go of his hand, because he finally thought of that terrible question, and suddenly he was powerless and said: "The emperor... how to say?"

"Beizhen Fusi has closed the case for three days." Zhuang Jingsi gasped and said, "Aside from ordering Li Chun to be killed on the spot, the emperor has no orders."

"Kill Li Chun on the spot?" Ji Gang stroked his stiff beard and said, "It seems that the emperor doesn't want this case to be leaked..."

"Yes, the case is in broad daylight, and the emperor's face is not good-looking, so the case is very likely, and it's better to let it go." Zhuang Jing secretly moved his wrist and said: "But Dong Weng can't be careless at all, because what the emperor does now is not important. .What matters is what's on his mind."

"Yes..." Ji Gang's bloody face turned pale again, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, he said, "The emperor is probably going to make up his mind to cook like a rabbit..."

"Don't be discouraged, Dong Weng," Zhuang Jing hurriedly cheered Ji Gang up: "Even if the Emperor doesn't like Dong Weng now, he still has to rely on Dong Weng, because there must be someone who makes him feel more worried!"

"Aha..." Ji Gang slapped his forehead, and said with a strange laugh: "Why did I forget that once the emperor makes his northern tour, the crown prince will be in charge of the country."

"That's right, and there are people who are more anxious than us..." Zhuang Jing said with a sinister laugh, "It's still unknown who will win the battle!"
