Of course, he seeks Wang Ao's help and asks him to help him control the Hanlin Academy!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan suddenly became enlightened.

What Chen Xun really wants is not to be an insignificant person at all, but to target Wang Ao, the chief minister of the cabinet!

Only people like this are worthy of Chen Xun spending so long planning and waiting for opportunities.

Jiang Yuan...is not qualified yet!

For Jiang Yuan himself, only by moving out of Wang Ao can he reduce his guilt.

His biggest mistake was to manipulate the imperial examination. This point is already indisputable, but who is the person behind the scenes can be discussed again.

If he can succeed, then, although he still cannot escape the guilt, he will be nothing more than a puppet on strings at most. At least, he can save his life, and if he is lucky, he can retire and return to his hometown safely.

This is enough for Jiang Yuan to fight for!

Seeing Wang Ao's face so gloomy that it was about to drip with tears, Jiang Yuan simply calmed down and spoke straightforwardly, saying.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Long before the palace examination began, the Chief Assistant had secretly discussed with me, saying that Xiao Tan was not talented and morally worthy, and was cowardly and unfit for a big job. The Hanlin Academy is a top-ranked candidate, so how could it be left in the hands of this person?

"

"At that time, the Chief Assistant also said that the imperial examination was led by the Hanlin Academy and there was a risk of mistakes, so he would recommend ministers, Zhang Ge Lao, and Zhu Ge Lao to participate together. He also said that after the palace examination is over, he will

I advise Your Majesty to transfer Academician Xiao to another place, recommend ministers and take charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy."

quiet!

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop in the courtroom!

No one expected that Jiang Yuan would start to accuse Wang Ao so directly and unabashedly.

Although these words did not reveal anything, to the ministers present, there was no difference between them.

Especially, after Jiang Yuan finished speaking, many ministers recalled that when the imperial examination case first came out, everyone pointed their finger at Xiao Tan.

It seems, seems, probably, that the chief minister once wrote a memorandum saying that there should be no delay in selecting common people, so he recommended Jiang Yuan to temporarily take charge of the Hanlin Academy?

Moreover, when Zhu Jian and Jiang Yuan jointly targeted Yu Shiyue, but failed, Jiang Yuan turned to please Yu Shiyue. As a result, he was humiliated in public. After being angry, he switched to Wang Ao's sect. This incident is widely circulated.

Many ministers know very well that in the cabinet, Jiang Yuan and Wang Ao are very close. During this period of time, Jiang Yuan has almost followed Wang Ao's steps.

Is what Jiang Yuan said at this time really groundless?

As a result, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became weird.

Wang Ao's status is different from Jiang Yuan's. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he also contributed to Liaodong. Although his status is not as powerful as the Qi Qing, it is not far behind.

And more importantly, these words were obviously a private discussion, but Jiang Yuan said it like this, which shows that he can no longer control the rules of the court, nor the world, and he just wants to bite Wang Ao to the death.

.

Looking at the chief minister again, as expected, his face was extremely ugly at this moment.

Everyone looked at Wang Ao, but Wang Ao's eyes fell on Chen Xun!

After the imperial examination case broke out, he had been very uneasy and was afraid of this situation.

The plan against Xiao Tan was not proposed by him, but by Jiang Yuan. However, it also got his acquiescence and cooperation.

At that time, he considered that it was Jiang Yuan who took action, and once it was done, Jiang Yuan would control the Hanlin Academy, which would be of great benefit to him in stabilizing his position in the cabinet.

But who could have expected that due to a combination of circumstances, Jiang Yuan would end up in a quagmire, and the affairs of the Hanlin Academy would fall into his hands.

At that time, there were discussions in the court, but there was no follow-up, so gradually, Wang Ao didn't take it too seriously.

But as Du Ning tried again and again to report this matter in front of the emperor, Wang Ao became more and more uneasy.

Until now, his hunch has finally been proven.
