Not long after, Gao Demao jogged in while using a veil to wipe his cold sweat and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the one who beats the drums outside the Wude Gate is the candidates who failed the exam. The candidates said that this imperial examination was
Fraud, please ask Your Majesty to return them justice."
The emperor's body stopped slightly, his irritability dissipated, and his expression became solemn: "Can you guys have any evidence?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, there is no evidence, but the leader shouted loudly outside... Seven of the top ten are already children of noble eunuchs, including Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao, Wu'anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, and Wang Chengyu
, Chen Zhaolu and the seven people were determined to be among the top ten, Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao and Chen Zhaolu did not dare to question, but Wu'anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, Wang Chengyu and others could enter the top ten, and it was definitely impossible!”
Gao Demao looked up at the emperor's increasingly gloomy facial features, and then said, "The one who took the lead said that before the list of the examination was released, Wang Chengyu, Lin Chaodong, and his grandfather who bought a house in the capital.
In Wu'anbang, each of their families bought a large amount of celebration supplies and prepared to use rice to distribute porridge and spend money."
The seven people, Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao, Wu'anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, Wang Chengyu, and Chen Zhaolu, aren't they the seven of the top ten just now!
The emperor gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are Wen Zhenkang and other deputy examiners? Let the imperial guards arrest them and not leave the palace!"
"Yes!" Gao Demao hurriedly got up and ran out.
As the eunuch around the emperor, Gao Demao was not unaware of the fraud in the imperial examinations in previous years. The nobles gave silver to the chief examiner, and there were many people who asked him to go in for the examination.
During the last imperial examination, Gao Demao felt that the noble and noble families would not restrain themselves, and they were afraid that they would alarm the emperor, so they did not expect that... This time it was indeed alarmed.
The emperor pressed the fire, and his voice was so cold that it made people feel cold: "Crown Prince, go... and bring all the test papers in this palace examination to me! Send people to teach the Imperial College Priest's Priest, Siye... all the doctors in each academic
Come, you stare at them in person... I will pass each test paper for me!"
"My son accepts the order!" The prince hurriedly took the order to do business.
The emperor was so angry that his fingers were trembling. If the fraud in the imperial examination was true, Wen Zhenkang should have died!
The Yan King of Xiliang has not left yet, and Emperor Yan is preparing to return tomorrow. Wen Zhenkang created a fraud case for him to embarrass him.
Moreover, the imperial examinations in the past were to select governance talents for the court? Although he liked treacherous ministers... he didn't like ministers who were too capable and highly meritorious and conscientious. But he also knew that there were no talented people in this court, if few were really
A capable minister does the facts? Jin State is in danger.
"Talking about the Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin!" The emperor opened his eyes? The eyes were filled with murderous expressions.
Outside the Wude Gate, more and more failed candidates knelt outside the gate and shouted that they had cheated? Please give them justice. This sudden excitement alarmed almost all the people in the capital.
The several companies that were named were anxious? They wanted to deal with the congratulatory items they purchased in advance? They were afraid that there would be movements that would make people seize the handle, and they were restless and didn't know how to show goodwill.
Even Lu Xiang couldn't sit still, so he called his son and daughter-in-law over? Ask him about his two sons and daughter-in-law? Has he ever given gifts to the chief examiner? Have he purchased congratulatory supplies in advance? Have he purchased rice in advance to prepare for porridge?
Lu Yuanpeng, who had just been released from the ancestral hall, had just had a leisurely drink of tea when he heard his parents being called by his grandfather.
Lu Yuanpeng was worried that his grandfather would come up with some idea to discipline him. He turned his eyes and put down the teacup and followed him, looking in through the crack in the study window.
"Bastard!" Lu Xiang was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand? "You four are crazy! Yuan Qing, Yuanbao's two children are top-notch in their studies, and even if they don't give gifts, they will definitely be in the second grade.
!What is Wen Zhenkang? My dignified prime minister’s mansion wants to give gifts to those lackeys?!”
"Father, can't you say that? Others have given gifts, so we won't give them... Originally, they were in the second grade? Maybe they were squeezed into the third grade! Maybe the one named Wen will make a secret trick? Let our family
The two children can't even pass the exam? This has happened in previous years!" Lu Xiangchang's daughter-in-law spoke quietly.
"Women's opinion!" Lu Xiang was so angry that his mind hurt Ren'er, "I am a dignified right prime minister, can he dare to have his surname Wen?!"
Lu Xiang's third son, Lu Yuanpeng's father frowned and said, "Who is Wen Zhenkang... Others don't know, father, don't you know? The saint Yun Ning offended a gentleman, don't offend villains. Now Your Majesty favors Wen Zhenkang
My elder brother and I are just following the wind, not asking Wen Zhenkang to really help, but asking him not to stumbling for the two children!"
"Yes, father, let alone you said that the two children must be within the second grade. It is precisely because of this that the daughter-in-law discussed with the third brother and sister and sent someone out of the house to buy it! After all, two tribute students in the family are already there.
A great joy!” said Lu Xiangzang's wife again.
Lu Yuanpeng's mother rolled her eyes at her sister-in-law. She... has always been a good thing, but she must drag her into the water for bad things.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law thinks so, so when my sister-in-law mentioned it, my daughter-in-law agreed with her sister-in-law's idea. Unexpectedly, she caused a big disaster and asked her father to give me some advice on how to remedy it." Lu Yuanpeng's mother gave Lu Xiangfu the mother
He saluted and said with a guilty look on his face.
The character of Lu Xianghuo's adult spirit cannot tell what the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law mean, and he is even more angry.
"If something happens, I don't think of a solution, but instead shirking each other's blame. What can I do? You are really good wives of our Lu family!" Lu Xiang's face darkened, "This matter can only be my own.
Go to the palace and tell the emperor the truth sooner!"
"But...what should I do with the fame of the two children?" Lu Yuanpeng's father was shocked.
"I'm going, you two children have the chance to retake the exam, but if you don't go... The future of the two children might be over!" Lu Xiang held the armrest of the seat tightly and gritted his teeth, "The emperor will definitely do this matter.
Let Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin be the judge, you two... go to Dali Temple to find Lu Jin and confess the bribery of the examiner! The faster our family moves, the more the emperor will be lenient."
"But, father, so... our family offended other noble families who bribed Wen Zhenkang!" Lv Xiang's eldest son frowned, "Besides, those scholars have already said that if our family Yuan Qinghe was
They are convinced that Yuanbao is within ten!”
"It is precisely because these candidates are convinced that we have done bribery by ourselves that our Lu family has to confess with the emperor and Dali Temple!"
