This imperial examination case had a great impact on Tang Bohu. He gave a detailed analysis of himself in the "Book of Wen Zhengming" to his friend Wen Zhengming. He was originally "above the southeastern scribes", but due to the imperial examination case, he suddenly He has become a person who is "culpable for all evil" and "spit on".

This is just as Zhu Yunming said in the epitaph written for Tang Bohu: "There are extraordinary heroes, but they will be destroyed if they are not admired; there are great talents, but they will be discarded if they are not used in the world. How can this injustice be done?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorial in his hand, sighed softly, and then said to Zhu Youtang: "This is the memorial handed over by Jin Yiwei. It is said that it is the case of this vend, but there is no real evidence, but Xu Jing went to Beijing to see Cheng Minzheng. At that time, I gave him a meeting gift, and Tang Yin also used a gold coin to beg Cheng Minzheng for a letter and sent it to Liang Chu, the head of the rural examination."

This is the end of the memorial. There is nothing more left. Zhu Houzhao sighed. This Jin Yiwei commander Shi Moubin really knows how to do things.

There is no solid evidence in the investigation of the case. This matter was not said by Moubin. He was just a foreshadowing because the court had investigated this matter before. In fact, the whole matter has been hidden in the fog, making it difficult to distinguish. The truth is, the whole thing started when two people came to Beijing to take the exam.

Tang Bohu was a descendant of Hongzhi Wuwu Jieyuan, while Xu Jing was the 41st Juren of Hongzhi Yimao. Xu Jing was one subject earlier than Tang Bohu, and in the words of later generations, he was considered a senior.

Xu Jing had many contacts with scholars in Wu County, and he was the most irresistible with Tang Bohu. He wanted to attract attention with his talent and reputation. In the last year of Hongzhi's reign, the two of them made an appointment to go to Beijing on the same boat for a test. When they arrived in Beijing, they met at Alms House, "Six For example, if the literary reputation is so great, the minister who invites him will die in the alley. Xu Youyou, several young men, have been galloping around the city since the sixth day, and everyone has noticed them."

To put it bluntly, Xu Jing was very high-profile, like a wealthy second generation. He was good at dancing in the capital, made friends with officials, and was very high-spirited.

Because the actions of Xu and Tang in the capital attracted attention, after the three examinations were completed, rumors spread all over the city. It was widely spread that "Xu Jing, a rich man from Jiangyin, bribed money to get the test questions."

Hua Chang, the household department, hurriedly impeached Cheng Minzheng, the examiner, for writing the questions, which involved Xu Jing and Tang Bohu. Zhu Youtang ordered Cheng Minzheng not to read the questions. The papers he recorded were re-examined by Li Dongyang, a bachelor, together with other examiners, and the results proved that Xu , both Tang and Tang were not admitted.

To put it bluntly, neither Tang Bohu nor Xu Jing passed the exam, so the rest of them were in vain.

What kind of questions are nonsense? If you can get the test questions in advance, how can Tang Bohu fail the exam as Jieyuan in the Nanzhili Township Examination? The key problem is that this Jieyuan just didn't pass the exam. Logically speaking, he shouldn't! You must know that Nan Zhili was a place where the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were very fierce, similar to the major provinces of the college entrance examination in later generations.

This big province doesn't just compete within the province, it also wants to compete with the whole country outside. If a provincial champion like Tang Bohu didn't pass the exam, there might be something wrong here.

But this matter is not the key. The key point of this matter is money. Cheng Minzheng accepted Xu Jing's money. This is for sure, but according to Xu Jing's statement, he was seeking an epitaph for his grandfather who had been deceased for many years. No matter what Cheng Minzheng had no selfish intention after receiving the money, but Xu Jing's purpose was very clear, that is, to get close to Cheng Tao, and to build a relationship with Li Dongyang, and to seek an epitaph for his grandfather Xu Yi, who had been deceased for many years. "Does the text match the test questions?"

Xu Jing also said that when he came to Beijing, he admired Min Zheng's knowledge and sought to learn from it in exchange for money. He occasionally gave lectures and three questions that could be answered, and Jing Yin and Tang Yin planned to write a text, which was widely praised.

To put it bluntly, when Xu Jing came to the capital, he admired Cheng Minzheng and inquired about it. He took money to become an apprentice, and then talked about where the test questions for this subject might have come from. After Xu Jing and Tang Bohu returned, they made sample essays, but the sample essays were leaked.

This matter was known to others, and then the test questions were the same as the sample essays written by Xu Jing and Tang Bohu.

Zhu Houzhao looked through the entire case process, and there was something wrong no matter how he looked at it. You are an official who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Why did you go to the home of someone who was taking the imperial examination? You also gave money. Tang Bohu also followed and begged for his own exam.

Cheng Minzheng's article, this thing is simply killing people.

Seeing his father looking at the zhezi, Zhu Houzhao was not in the mood to continue reading the zhezi, but turned to look at his father.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to know how his father would deal with this matter. Jin Yiwei's memorial was very clear. There was no such thing as a vend title. This was the general direction, because neither Tang Bohu nor Xu Jing was successful. This made sense. However, Jin Yiwei also gave

If there are other inappropriate things, the emperor has a reason to deal with them.

To put it bluntly, the emperor can deal with it however he wants. Jin Yiwei has found the reasons and handled the matter very appropriately.

Historically, it was found that there was no evidence of the vend title, and Xu Jing was given a meeting gift when he came to Beijing to meet Cheng Minzheng. Tang Yin also used a gold coin to beg for Cheng Minzheng and sent him to Liang Chu, the seat of the rural examination. Both of them were expelled from official status and were sent to the county government.

He was a minor official. Cheng Minzheng was dismissed from office and returned home. Hua Chang was demoted due to untrue facts. He went to the examination hall and was jailed, and the case was settled by giving each of them fifty blackboards.

After Cheng Minzheng returned home, he became angry and died of gangrene. Tang Yin was disgraced and refused to serve as an official. After returning home, his husband and wife turned against each other, divorced his wife, and became negative and decadent.

After Xu Jing joined Wu Ching, he studied behind closed doors and wrote "Bi Gan Ji" to clarify his ambitions. After Zhu Youtang's death, Xu Jing wholeheartedly looked forward to the new emperor's pardon and hoped to return to the imperial examination career. The following year, he moved to Mu Sima Qian's Qi

, Lu, Yan, and Zhao Zhuang traveled north to the capital to inquire about the news. However, due to the failure in the examination, their physical condition worsened day by day, and they were tired from the journey. When they arrived in the capital, they fell ill in Yongfu Zen Temple and died in the capital in Zhengde Dingmao.

After a long time, Zhu Youtang put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked: "How do you think the emperor should do this?"

"Of course we need to find out!" Zhu Houzhao said from the side: "The ceremony of recruiting talents and selecting officials for the country must be fair, just and open, otherwise how can we calm the hearts of the people in the world? Investigate, get to the bottom of it, and never tolerate it.

"

Looking at his son's appearance, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but feel angry. When did this brat learn these stupid things?

However, one thing that Zhu Houzhao heard was that after King Ning learned about Tang Bohu's name, he sent someone to recruit Tang Bohu. Then Tang Bohu discovered that King Ning was rebellious, so Tang Bohu pretended to be crazy and was actually killed by King Ning.

Release it, this is the real thing.

It can be seen that Tang Bohu is not only an excellent poet and painter, but also a very talented person. First of all, he can sense that King Ning is going to rebel. Maybe King Ning told him, but it is unlikely, otherwise King Ning would not send him away.
