When Bai Xintao pretended to be crazy.

The stick hit him directly in the face.

Bai Xintao quickly raised his hand to stop him, but still took a solid bite.

"Get in! If you dare to do this again, I will not forgive you lightly!"

Lao Jiu stood in front of Bai Xintao with a stick, his face gloomy.

Bai Xintao was hit by a stick on the arm, and he was sweating all over in pain. How could he dare to act so aggressively, and quickly retreated inside.

Seeing him in such a mess, Chen Mu sneered.

"Catch the culprit?"

"Are you talking about me?"

"What am I guilty of?"

"Whose bribe did I take?"

"Who did I let into Jinshi?"

"You should tell me about it."

Chen Mu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Bai Xintao's defenses hard every time, stripping him of his sanity bit by bit.

Bai Xintao gritted his teeth and his face was distorted.

"I will definitely impeach you to Your Majesty!"

"Chen Mu! I want you to never stand up again!"

He is still tough-talking.

"I am a commoner, why are you impeaching me?"

Chen Mu looked leisurely and had a playful look in his eyes.

His current status has become the greatest security guarantee.

Lao Zhu never showed mercy when killing officials.

But he was still relatively gentle towards his own people.

"We will report to His Majesty and tell him that you are the culprit! This imperial examination fraud was all led by you."

Bai Xintao's pale face was sickly red.

Looking at him, Chen Mu came

"Just do it and see if the emperor will believe you or me."

"But before that, you should consider your own situation first."

"The best outcome for you is Lingchi! After saying that

, Chen Mu turned and left.

Bai Xintao was stunned by the news, but Liu Sanwu, who was sitting in the corner, reacted first.

"I want to see the emperor! I was wronged!"

"I am the Supervisor of the Imperial College!"

"I am highly respected and knowledgeable!"

"I have contributed to the Ming Dynasty!"

"I shouldn't be punished!"

Liu Sanwu shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xintao also shouted, heartbreaking.

At the same time, Chen Mu had already reached the gate of the prison.

He listened to the shouts in the distance, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

You two My head is just interest.

Killing you is not enough to relieve your anger!

I will make the backers behind you take off a layer of skin!

Lan Yu! Hu Weiyong! No one of you can have an easy time!

……

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang has not sat down since he threw Yugui angrily just now.

He pointed at the civil and military officials and cursed

"Northern students are making trouble in Yingtian Mansion right now!"

"The people marched with them!"

"Maybe they will make trouble at the gate of the imperial city in a while!"

"You bunch of losers! Now give me a solution!"

"Weren’t you quite capable just now? talk!"

He glared at everyone, but no one dared to look at him.

A trace of anger flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes.

"You don’t even say that, right?"

"good! Then I’ll roll your name!"

"Hu Weiyong, tell me, how to calm the anger of northern students!"

Lao Zhu put his hands on his hips and shouted by name.

Hu Weiyong's heart tightened.

He was asked to express his position!

He was involved in this matter, and it was impossible to escape.

Now there was only one plan! Abandon the soldiers to save the commander!

He hurriedly stepped forward. bow and salute

"Reporting back to the Emperor, I believe that it is necessary to thoroughly investigate Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others for their dereliction of duty!"

"Once evidence of guilt is discovered, he will be severely punished!"

When he said this, Hu Weiyong's face tightened.

Bai Xintao had many contacts with him, and a thorough investigation would definitely lead to him being implicated.

But he was also fortunate that he had always only accepted calligraphy and paintings. This would at most mean he was dismissed from office.

As long as he There are still people in the court, and there will naturally be a chance to come back in the future.

However, Lao Zhu's answer made him sweat.

"not enough!"

If the investigation of Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others can make the people angry, why should he be angry?

Can't he just throw these people to the people?

The problem now is not just the fraud in the imperial examination!

This is the support of the people!

Finally the north and the south are unified , but the imperial court does not give appointments to northern students. What does this mean?

From now on, the world will belong to the southerners? Then why do we need to do scientific examinations? Let’s just rebel!

Anyway, there is no place for northern students in the Ming Dynasty!

Lao Zhu thought very far, he would never let this situation happen!

He wanted to be a wise king for all generations, and he wanted to create a prosperous age for the Ming Dynasty!

Hu Weiyong panicked.

Isn't it enough to check Liu Sanwu?

The emperor is going to kill him. Want to catch up too?

When he thought of this, Hu Weiyong felt that his legs were weak.

He froze in place, maintaining a bowed posture, and did not dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu snorted coldly.

He did not let it go Hu Weiyong stood up and just stood there.

He turned to look at Li Shanchang

"you say!"

Hearing this, Li Shanchang secretly sighed. He was still implicated.

He knew that the turmoil this time was big, but he didn't expect that the emperor would add fuel to the fire. Now it should be impossible for all the courtiers to escape.

Everyone must endure the emperor's turmoil. of anger.

Li Shanchang took a step forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea"

"This imperial examination is invalid, let’s take it again"

"If these fifty-one people are still on the list in the end, it will be clear whether there was fraud, and the rumors will be self-defeating by then."

There was no other way. He could only give his own suggestions.

As for the face of the Ming Dynasty, it was no longer something he could consider.

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials started talking about it.

"yes! Let’s take another exam. This time we change the questions and the examiner!"

"Not bad! If those northern students still fail the exam, won't they have nothing to say?"

"How is this possible! Those fifty-one people are all Jinshi appointed by the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! With this precedent, the consequences will be endless!"

Listening to the discussion of the courtiers, Lao Zhu looked up and laughed.

He was not happy, but angry!

When he asked these people to come up with ideas, they couldn't beat them with three sticks.

But when it came to the dignity of the country, , when it comes to profit distribution, each one is like a chicken blood! Are these the ministers of Ming Dynasty?

Are these the subordinates of Zhu Yuanzhang?

Lao Zhu was so angry that his eyes were red and his blood pressure was high.

"Self-destruction without attack? What a self-defeating one!"

"In the eyes of the people, this is like covering the sky with one hand! Their anger will only get stronger!"

"In the eyes of northern students, that is where our Ming Dynasty has no place where they can stand!"

"You are destroying the foundation of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Think about it all!"

"If we can't come up with a suitable plan, no one should leave today!"

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to say anything.

No one wanted to get into trouble with Lao Zhu at this time.

He might be beheaded!

All the officials were very nervous, but one person was very calm, and that was Prince Zhu Biao.

In fact, Zhu Biao was also very nervous at the beginning.

He could see the trouble behind the fraud in the imperial examination.

It is a good thing for Enke to get an official position.

However, there is a huge gap in knowledge between students from the north and the south. Regardless of whether there is fraud or not, students from the north are It will be difficult to get on the list.

This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among northern students.

He believes that his father must have thought about this possibility before and must have given instructions to the examiner.

However, the examiner is a stubborn Liu Sanwu. It is very likely that he did not In line with the father's policy, judging solely by the quality of articles. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Coupled with the fraud committed by Bai Xintao and others, this completely changed the nature of the matter.

No one cared. Whether the northern scholars could pass the exam, they only saw that the list was full of southerners.

They thought that the southern scholars bribed the examiners and replaced the northern scholars.

This may very well lead to the disintegration of the newly unified Ming Dynasty.

Such a result, no one can Can't afford it, even if he is the prince[]

But when Zhu Biao opened the bag of tips given by his husband, he didn't panic at all.

Now, he was only amazed by his master's miraculous calculation.

Zhu Biao unfolded the paper and saw what was written on it: The road is far away and there are many students from the north who have not arrived yet. Please open Enke North Field!

This was exactly the trick Chen Mu gave him.

Leave the Northern scholars alone before opening Enke! preferred selection!

In this way, the anger of the northern scholars will naturally subside.

If the northern scholars stop causing trouble, the people will definitely not be angry anymore.

As for the southern scholars, it is natural that they need to continue a thorough investigation. Those who pass the exam on their own merit will be kept, and those suspected of bribery will be arrested.

Let’s take a look at all the forces on the way, killing two birds with one stone.

Whenever Zhu Biao saw this clever plan, he would always praise in his heart"Mr.'s wonderful plan."

Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Zhu Biao put away his brocade bag, straightened his clothes, walked out of the queue and came to the front of the palace.

"Father, I have a way to solve this problem."

He bowed and saluted and said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with surprise.

He did not expect that his boss would come forward.

But when Lao Zhu thought of his boss's whereabouts in the past few days, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Boss Standing up at this time, I am sure I have something to do with Chen Mu!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, and he waved to Zhu Biao

"Please tell me what method you can use!"

……

Zhu Biao's sudden appearance made all civil and military officials very confused.

"What's happening here? What is the prince doing? Is there something he can do?"

"Not necessarily. Although the prince is calm, he is not quick-witted."

"I guess the prince wants to step in to protect the people."

"It's possible. I heard before that the choice of examiner was suggested by the prince."

"Not only that, there is also Prince Chronicle Bai Xintao among the invigilators this time!"

"That being said, it is indeed possible! These people are all closely involved with the prince!"

"But this is fine. With the prince intervening, the emperor will definitely be more sensible."

"Hey, why did such a big thing happen?"

Everyone was talking about it with emotion and suspicion.

However, no one thought that Zhu Biao could really give a solution.

The best outcome for this matter is to kill. As long as enough people are killed, the anger of the northern students will eventually rise. It 's just that it's hard for anyone to say this.

After all, Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others were officials in the same dynasty. At this time, they suggested a mass killing, which was more or less looking for someone to hold a grudge.

On the other side, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao They were full of curiosity.

What strategy could calm the angry northern scholars?

How could the mutinous people regain their confidence in the prestige of the imperial court?

How did the prince gain the confidence to go up ?

Unlike other officials, they did not think that Zhu Biao was there to protect people.

It was not because they knew Zhu Biao.

It was just that they knew Lao Zhu better.

Who is Lao Zhu?

He is a cold emperor!

Where is this?

This It's above the court!

There are no fathers and sons here, only monarchs and ministers!

It is absolutely impossible for him to tolerate Zhu Biao destroying his prestige here.

Yes, Zhu Biao is the prince.

But after all, he is still the prince, not sitting on the dragon The one on the chair!

Correspondingly, if Zhu Biao dares to ignore Liu Sanwu and others at this time, it will only make him completely far away from the center of power!

Killing his son Lao Zhu cannot be done, but deposing him and demoting him is still the way to go. Got it!

Lao Zhu has such courage!

The two couldn't help but look at Zhu Biao, expecting him to give everyone an answer.

Zhu Biao didn't notice everyone's gaze at all.

He walked up the steps from the west side to his father, and whispered After whispering a few words, the civil and military officials saw a smile on Lao Zhu's face!

This shocked everyone!

The emperor's face was so gloomy just now that it was almost dripping with water. Now, Why did he change his face all of a sudden?

What did the prince say?

Is it possible that there is some inside story that he and others don't know?

Or is there any new development outside?

Just as everyone was guessing, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke. Got it

".They're all a bunch of sticks! I couldn't even imagine this!"

He pointed at the ministers and cursed again, and then announced with a smile

"This imperial examination is not over yet!"

"Students from the north have a long way to go, and there are many who have not yet arrived!"

"Hence the opening of Enko North Field!"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials were stunned.

They finally knew what Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu said.

But they never expected that it would be such a solution!

The emperor actually wanted to open Enke again!

Although this is what he said That's right, but anyone with any brain knows that this is just an excuse.

By doing this, the emperor actually separated the north and the south! In this way, it not only gave the northern scholars the opportunity to re-take the scientific examination and obtain official positions, but also gave Those southern students with real talents and knowledge will give an explanation.

The only problem is that from now on, the North-South ranking may become a permanent rule.

This will have a certain impact on the existing imperial power.

But at this moment, neither Li Shanchang nor Liu Bowen Come forward to oppose.

It’s not that they don’t want to oppose, but if they want to oppose at this time, they must come up with a better plan.

They can’t come up with it!

This time they must allocate the resources in their hands to redress their anger!

This is very important to Zhejiang It was a major blow to both the Eastern Faction and the Huaixi Faction.

But everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

In any case, the immediate trouble is over.

In the future, there will be one more force in the court, so let’s be more , they can only do this now.

Seeing that the civil and military officials had no objections, Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction

"OK, then draft an edict and inform the world."

Hearing this, the officials in charge of relevant matters hurriedly obeyed the order.

They did not dare to delay the matter any longer. If it was delayed any longer and the northern scholars did something outrageous, it would be troublesome.

Maybe they will be included in the beheading list.

With his serious problem solved, Lao Zhu had a smile on his face.

He looked at his boss and asked in a low voice:"Whose plot is it?"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"I was about to tell my father."

He bowed and saluted, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Needless to say! I already know who it is."

Lao Zhu looked like he understood the world, and his eyes were full of emotion.

He is indeed the talent that I, Lao Zhu, have chosen. The incident has just broken out and he already has countermeasures.

If there are such capable people to help, the Ming Dynasty will be better. What are you worried about?

Suddenly, Lao Zhu remembered the war in the north.

Xu Da and others had been setting off for a while, but no news came back, and he was very worried.

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that Xu Da and others had not yet arrived. Chen Mu's strategy was not adopted!

Such a group of idiots turned away the strategy given by such a talented person without even looking at it!

If this battle goes well, that's okay.

But if something goes wrong in this battle, he must These guys with high eyesight paid the price with blood!

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao again

"Do you want him to enter the Prince's East Palace?"

He asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.

"Father, I have this intention!"

Lao Zhu was very satisfied with his son's reaction. To be an emperor, one must learn to recognize and employ people!

"good! Then you decide, except for the three divisions and three orphans, you can choose any other official positions!"

"The post of Young Master Zhan of the East Palace Zhanshi Mansion is still vacant, and I think your husband is qualified to take it."

Zhu Biao answered respectfully.

The three masters and three orphans are Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Young Master, Young Master and Shaobao. These are all first and second-grade official positions.

Chen Mu is about to reach the sky in one step!.
