Zhu Youtang looked at his son, staring, and said nothing for a long time. Zhu Houzhao also looked at his father, but he just blinked his big eyes and pretended to be innocent.

For a long time, Zhu Youtang glared at his son fiercely, and then said: "We have been investigated and confronted. The public is right and the mother-in-law is right. No one admits guilt. It is very difficult to find out the truth.

Coupled with the turbulent public opinion outside, if this matter is not handled well, something will happen."

Zhu Houzhao pouted, something happened? In Zhu Houzhao's view, this was more like a case of persecution by public opinion. Xu Jing and Tang Bohu were obviously tricked.

Although what these two idiots did was really unreliable, they were definitely not the only ones who did it. Who allowed these two guys to be so high-profile? Zhu Houzhao didn't even dare to think about it, why did everything leak out? This

In this era, these people were better than the paparazzi in later generations. How come they could find out everything?

Why should such a controversial matter be done quietly? Why has it become so inexplicable that the whole city is in trouble?

If Zhu Houzhao knew about the college entrance examination questions in his previous life, he would definitely not tell anyone. How come everyone knows about it?

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father and said directly: "Then we need to find out more clearly, otherwise it will not be enough to make the people angry, otherwise it will not be enough to reassure people, otherwise it will not be enough to explain to the world."

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao is just talking and doesn't go to the point at all. After experiencing the Ye Qi incident, Zhu Houzhao has discovered the changes in his father. He no longer believes what those scholars say. These people talk about being arrogant, but in fact

There is no lower limit at all and we cannot be fooled by them.

The father and son stared at each other for a long time, before Zhu Youtang laughed and cursed: "Little slippery man, that's all. Tell me, what do you think?"

"Father, in fact, this matter is very simple. The general examination has just finished, and there has been word on the street that 'Jiangyin rich man Xu Jing bribed money to get the test questions'. What does this mean? It means that someone has seen the article written by Xu Jing. This

The article is the same as the exam question, and this is also the difficulty of this question. If there is no question, then why is there such a thing? "

"Secondly, I looked at the file submitted together with Jin Yiwei Zhezi. How did this matter involve Cheng Minzheng? First, Xu Jing and Tang Yin both visited Cheng Minzheng."

"One said that he admired Cheng Minzheng's talent and learning and wanted to become a disciple, and the other said that Cheng Minzheng was begging for essays and was busy with melons and plums! The son also discovered one thing, that is, the imperial examination questions were very uncommon this time, so there were not many good essays, but after marking

At that time, Cheng Minzheng saw two wonderful articles and praised that these two articles must be written by Xu Jing and Tang Yin."

"Judging from the above things, the title seems to be true, but it doesn't seem to be true. If it were true, how could Tang Yin and Xu Jing let others see the sample essay he wrote? He would definitely memorize it after he finished it.

In the heart, and then burned it, Tang Yin is the Jieyuan of Yingtian Mansion, there is no need to ask outsiders to do sample essays."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang nodded and looked at his son with admiration. He didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but his son's suspicions were reasonable.

"The second is Cheng Minzheng. If he really leaked the questions to Xu Jing and Tang Yin, then he shouldn't alienate them? Or even pretend to be unfamiliar with them? Why should he praise the two excellent papers as the work of Xu Jing and Tang Yin during the marking process?

?Isn’t it true that there is no three hundred taels of silver here? This is also inconsistent with common sense.”

"The whole thing is hidden behind the fog. It will be difficult to find out the truth!" Zhu Houzhao sighed helplessly as he spoke. As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at his father.

In fact, now Zhu Houzhao somewhat understands why his father directly punished Xu Jing and Tang Bohu in history. Partly because he wanted to give an explanation to public opinion, and partly because he was really angry. He cut off the official status of Tang Yin and Xu Jing.

, and were promoted to officials at the same time. You must know that scholars look down on officials. This approach is tantamount to stepping on the dignity of the two people into the mud.

But why is this happening? Why would an emperor like Zhu Youtang do this to these two people? It probably has something to do with Xu Jing not telling the truth until the end, or perhaps it is to intimidate.

For those officials who come to Beijing to take the exam, let’s not talk about anything else. You go to the examiner’s house to ask for papers and give money. This kind of behavior makes it difficult for people to think that you are okay. What kind of official should such a person do?

What Youtang was even more angry about was Cheng Minzheng, how incompetent are you? You actually did such an unreliable thing.

Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao and smiled slightly, but he still said: "Sometimes, the truth is not that important. If you work hard and come to the examiner before the exam, even if there is no question, it shows that your mind is not right. Cheng Minzheng

, as the chief examiner of the examination, he should stand upright, doesn’t he know how to avoid suspicion?”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao still thinks that this vend question does not exist. There are such people in this era. They think that a gentleman does not need to do such things and is open-minded in everything he does. Why should he hide it from others? Why should he avoid suspicion? That is not the case.

His own style is not that of a gentleman. Zhu Houzhao knew very well that there were many such people in this era.

When Cheng Minzheng was ten years old, he was recommended to the court as a "child prodigy" and was ordered by the emperor to study in the Hanlin Academy. At the age of nineteen, he was the first person in the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination in "Shangshu". At the age of twenty-three, he was elected in the second year of Chenghua

The first and second Jinshi, the least among the more than 350 people on the same list. The official Zuo Yude, direct lectures on Donggong, profound knowledge, and the highest ranking for a while. He was the heir of Xiaozong, promoted Shao Zhanshi, and was appointed Minister of Rites by Jingyan.

.

If you look at Cheng Minzheng's resume, you will know that this man has been reading books about sages all his life. Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all when he did such a thing.

It's not surprising that Xu Jing and Tang Bohu went to find him, because who is this person? A senior in the imperial examination, a top academic figure. Zhu Houzhao didn't know what happened to Xu Jing, but Zhu Houzhao felt that it was possible that Tang Bohu went to get the test questions

No, Tang Bohu is the candidate for the Nanzhili Provincial Examination. He may not necessarily be talented, but he must be dissolute and arrogant. Would he go and do the questions?

"Tell me, if you are asked to deal with this matter, what are you going to do?" Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked again.

This time Zhu Houzhao was indifferent. In fact, this matter is easy to handle. Just deal with it directly. First of all, Cheng Minzheng, you are the one who can take the exam. You should avoid suspicion before the exam. Needless to say, right? But what about you? Not only did you go too far, but you even

Secret, you still collect money and write articles for them, where is your brain? Even if there is no title, such a brainless official will go home as soon as possible. Qingliu officials are okay, they may not be able to do anything if they have real power. Like this
