Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 184 Fraud in the Imperial Examination
"Hehe, please sit down, Mr. Wang." Zhu Changyuan refilled a cup of tea for Wang Ranming himself, and said, "Mr. Muzhai is a senior I have admired for a long time, and he is also the leader of my Confucianism. As early as the Tianqi period, I was a child. I have heard many legends about Mr. Mu Zhai, but I don’t know how Mr. Mu Zhai was imprisoned?”

"Can you please explain to me, sir?"

Zhu Changyuan really didn't know how Qian Qianyi was sent to prison.

When Wang Ranming saw that there was something going on, his heart dropped to the ground, and he said, "Isn't it because I was framed by a traitor!"

Through Wang Ranming's description, Zhu Changyuan gradually understood that it turned out to be Qian Qianyi's fellow Changshu. Zhang Hanru, a teacher in Changshu County, reported to the court that Qian Qianyi lived in the village illegally, and was punished indiscriminately by the court.

According to Wang Ranming, Zhang Hanru accused Qian Qianyi of illegally living in his hometown, with a total of 58 serious crimes, including: corruption, bribery, smuggling, collaborating with enemies, playing power, and forming a party.

Hearing this, Zhu Changyuan laughed. This is no longer a matter of breaking the law or not, but someone wants to kill Qian Muzhai.

Listening to the name of the criminal evidence, you know what is corruption and bribery?What is forming a party to play power?

Everyone was forced to disarm and return to the farmland. An ordinary person with a flat head. Of course, Qian Muzhai is the kind of ordinary person with a relatively large head, but a large head is also an ordinary person. Ordinary people play power?The common people form a party?Ordinary people take bribes?
I bought a watch last year.

This is clearly the political enemy who wants to put him to death.

What happened later became clear. Zhang Hanru reported to the court, and the cabinet immediately arrested Qian Qianyi and convicted him.

Some time ago, Qian Qianyi kept writing letters to the emperor asking for help in prison, but there was no reply.

It wasn't until today that he heard that Wen Tiren was going to kill himself, so he decided to use his big weapon to fight Wen Tiren.

Don't forget, as Wen Tiren's deadly enemy, Qian Qianyi never gave up his attention to his old political enemy, and at the same time collected a lot of criminal evidence against him.

"My lord." Wang Ranming bowed and saluted, then groped for something from his bosom, handed it to Zhu Changyuan, and said, "Muzhai just wanted to ask you for a small favor to deliver a letter, and nothing else."

Zhu Changyuan took the wax-sealed envelope, nodded, and asked, "I don't know who to give it to?"

Wang Ranming said: "Mu Zhai ordered that only my lord can get close to Cao Gong in the palace. I hope my lord can send this letter and the epitaph to Cao Gong, and hope that Cao Gong can help."

After Zhu Changyuan heard this, he smiled inwardly, thinking to himself that eunuch Cao Daeun is right in front of him, you really don't know anyone, you deserve to be slaughtered by me, but he said in his mouth: "If you can save Qian Muzhai, I will naturally be willing."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Huachun and found that this guy's kung fu is quite good, as if he had never heard of anything, he continued to rub his hands and warmed himself by the fire, and said to Wang Ranming: "Mr. Wang, go back first, I will send it off tomorrow morning To Duke Cao."

"That's it, thank you very much." Wang Ranming bowed and retreated, leaving Zhu Changyuan a large box of rare copies of precious books.

When he was far away, Zhu Changyuan took out the envelope and handed it to Cao Huachun, saying, "Mr. Cao, don't you want to see it?"

Cao Huachun chuckled, and said, "Qian Muzhai, the leader of Donglin, the most dignified scholar in the world, actually came to beg me, an eunuch, how ironic."

He took the envelope and tore it open casually, smiled and said, "It's really a fate to repay the grievances, starting from the examination room and ending in the examination room, Qian Muzhai, Qian Muzhai, thanks to his effort."

Zhu Changyuan took out the epitaph to Cao Huachun and said, "I don't know what Qian Qianyi meant by giving this thing to the father-in-law? Could it be that he really has an old relationship with the father-in-law?"

"Our family has no relationship with him." Cao Huachun glanced at the epitaph, sighed, and asked Zhu Changyuan, "Do you know why Qian Qianyi showed the epitaph to our family?"

Zhu Changyuan shook his head.

"Hehe." Cao Huachun picked up the epitaph and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Because Qian Qianyi wrote this epitaph to an eunuch ten years ago."

"Eunuch?"

"Yes, Wang An, the eunuch of Li Bingbi during the Tianqi period."

Zhu Changyuan shook his head, really didn't know.

Cao Huachun explained: "Wang An belonged to Feng Bao at the time, and later became an eunuch of Si Li Bingbi. wrote this epitaph."

"But this epitaph?" Zhu Changyuan was puzzled. The epitaph of the great eunuch Wang An had half a dime relationship with Cao Huachun?

"You want to ask me, what does this have to do with me?" Cao Huachun interrupted Zhu Changyuan and asked back with a smile.

"Exactly. I also ask Mr. Cao to enlighten me."

"Because the prince's confidant eunuch back then was not only one, besides Wei Ni, there was another one!" Cao Huachun said here, the corners of his eyes were inexplicably moist.

It is said that eunuchs are ruthless, but who knows what kind of person Cao Huachun is?Who knows how his senior brother felt when his mentor was killed by Wei Zhongxian, a traitor?

"There is one more, could it be..."

"It's our house!"

Cao Huachun let out a breath, squinted his eyes, shook his head and sat on the seat for a long time without saying a word, drank a few sips of tea, and said, "So, anyway, I owe Qian Muzhai a favor, if I don't pay it back now He, when he dies, there will be no chance."

"Qian Muzhai, Qian Muzhai, hehe, the dignified leader of the Donglin Forest actually shows kindness to himself."

Cao Huachun sighed while unfolding the letter and handing it to Zhu Changyuan to read.

Zhu Changyuan glanced at it, didn't quite understand it, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Cao knows that I'm not educated, so he deliberately made a fool of me, didn't he?"

Cao Huachun laughed loudly and said: "So, after I read this letter, I said it was fate. Do you know what is written in it?"

Zhu Changyuan shook his head.

"This is the evidence of Wen Tiren's crime collected by Qian Muzhai. It said that our Wen Ge Department had cheated in the examination room. It said that the No. 3 gold list just released this year, Tanhualang Li Zhitian was well-educated and illiterate. The reason why he was able to be a high school Tanhualang It's all because the Ministry of Rites accepted bribes."

I'm so tired.

After Zhu Changyuan heard it, he was shocked at the time. You can play like this with a paralyzed Tanhua Lang?There is also Qian Qianyi, who broke the news that such a big news is to punish Wen Ge's department to death.

But, well done, I bought a watch last year, if Cao Huachun hadn't told me tonight, I wouldn't have known that Wen Tiren had framed me so many times.

In the following time, Cao Huachun told Zhu Changyuan a very comic story. It can be said that Qian Qianyi, scientific research and cheating were really companions for a lifetime.

In the 38th year of Wanli, Qian Qianyi, who was just 28 years old, bid farewell to his hometown Changshu, Jiangsu, and came all the way to the capital to participate in the examination. He was full of confidence and launched a charge towards the position of champion.

It's not because he has much confidence in his literary talent, but because of his family background.

It is said that Qian Qianyi spent 2 taels of silver to bribe officials in the capital, not only the Ministry of Rites, but also the eunuchs of the Ministry of Rites in the Imperial Palace, for the purpose of being the number one scholar in high school.

But in the end, even though he won the No. [-] prize, he was replaced by others before his name was announced.

Because there is another guy named Han Jing who paid a higher price than him, 4 taels of silver.

In the end, Han Jing's name was promoted, and he became the leader of the first class, the number one scholar in high school, and in the 38th year of Wanli's first class list, although Qian Qianyi was also famous, it was a pity that he was only third, and he won a Tanhualang.

It is exactly the same as Li Zhitian who is an undergraduate this year, even the way of cheating is not bad.

Then, Qian Muzhai, who wanted to be the number one scholar but failed, became ill-intentioned about Han Jing, who bid higher than himself, and kept suppressing him in his official career, finally cutting off Han Jing's career.

Han Jing's official career was cut off, and he wrote "Donglin Dianjianglu" at home, which was filled with the names of Donglin party members and enshrined to Wei Zhongxian for four years with Tianqi as a vote certificate.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to arrest and kill Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Huang Zunsu, Zhou Shunchang, Wei Dazhong, Gu Dazhang, Gao Panlong, Zhou Qiyuan, Miao Changsi, etc. according to the names recorded in the Donglin General Record, and destroyed the Donglin Academy. Knocked down.

It can be foreseen that the ending of this number one scholar is not optimistic, but this is a later story. Before that, this number one scholar Han opened a desperate hole in Qian Qianyi's life.

In the second year of Apocalypse, Qian Qianyi served as the chief examiner in Zhejiang. Unfortunately, Zhejiang is the hometown of this Han Zhuangyuan.What's more unfortunate is that a fraud case occurred in the Zhejiang examination room this year. Candidate Qian Qianqiu (who really has a relationship with Qian Qianyi) left a sentence at the end of each paragraph of the test paper with the words "Once the day is on the same footing". "Qingyun" was admitted.

Later, Han Jing reported, and later, Qian Qianyi lost his official position.

This is the second relationship between Qian Qianyi and cheating in scientific examinations.

Then the emperor changed, Tianqi became Chongzhen, and then Qian Qianyi returned to serve as Minister of Rites.And in the first year of Chongzhen, he was elected as one of the cabinet candidates.

Unfortunately, Qian Qianyi was the right servant of the Ministry of Rites at that time, that is, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, Qian Qianyi was not a good bird. During the selection process of the cabinet candidates, Wen Tiren, who was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was overshadowed by him. , Not even the candidates.

Wen Tiren began his revenge: he mentioned the imperial examination fraud case again, and said that Qian Qianyi was the mastermind back then.

Then, many first-rank and second-rank officials, including the bachelor, publicly defended Qian Qianyi.

Later, Qian Qianyi was fired and Wen Tiren won.

Cao Huachun said that Wen Tiren's victory was taken for granted, and this result was doomed when many ministers excused Qian Qianyi.Because one of the things His Majesty the Emperor dislikes the most is forming a party.

This is the third relationship between Qian Qianyi and fraud in the examination room.

If we add the materials he sent today, that is, the fact that Wen Tiren accepted bribes to promote Li Zhitian to No. 3 in Jinke No. [-], it can be regarded as his fourth relationship with fraud in the examination room.

After listening to Cao Huachun's story, Zhu Changyuan couldn't help sighing.
