Chapter 610 I have never seen such an arrogant rebel
"The censor searched a large number of evidence of bribery in the residence and locked in thirteen Imperial College officials and hundreds of imperial students?"
"It's too little. Let them check more. The Imperial City Department will cooperate well. Do you understand?"
At the gate of Taixue, Gao Qiu looked at the lively search scene inside and stroked his beard, feeling very pleased.
At this time, he had already figured out the official's intentions and knew that the bigger this scandal became, the more likely it would be to stop those rumors that fooled the people.
So let alone the censor gearing up, even if the opponent dies, he will still find ways to cause trouble.
At this moment, a soldier from Luoluo reported: "Zhu Wu was born outside the house, and he used both soft and hard tactics. He has not yet given an explanation. Should he be brought into the Imperial City Division next?"
Gao Qiu waved his hand and said: "Keep it for Judge Ding, just as a favor. The murder of the imperial student has caused the Kaifeng government office to break up, and everyone is happy."
The soldier took the order: "Yes!"
Gao Qiu was not interested in the truth of the affair, but thinking of the previous attitude of the officials, he suddenly asked: "When did Lin Chong leave?"
The subordinate reported: "That Mr. Lin left very early."
Gao Qiu chuckled and said, "Sure enough, he is someone who doesn't seek to make progress..."
His expression became relaxed, but he made up his mind that no matter how useful this person was, he would deal with it as soon as he entered the officialdom.
There is no other reason than that the favor of officials is limited and competitors must be eliminated in advance.
At the same time, I also have to practice calligraphy and painting hard. Officials like wrestling, so I have to practice sumo wrestling and hire some famous sumo wrestlers...
Of course, there is also the work of the Imperial City Department. After the rumors stop, the next step is to catch "Zuo Ming" and find secret edicts.
According to the palace, the Queen Mother was in a coma on her deathbed and was deceived by the traitor Guo Kai around her into writing a secret edict. Later, she disappeared and probably fell into the hands of the rebel "Zuo Ming".
Where is that person hiding?
Gao Qiu twirled his beard and thought.
A figure in a broad robe suddenly passed by behind him, and the eyes under the mask glanced here.
Li Yan crossed the Imperial City Division and came to the Imperial Academy at night.
The noise is as loud as the day.
The faint crying represents the arrival of the real night.
When he discovered that a group of people from the Imperial City had come here to stand guard at night, Li Yan knew that Zhao Ji in the palace was in trouble again.
The Imperial College fraud was a very sensitive matter. It took nearly a year from beginning to end. A bribe that was not considered a big deal in the Song Dynasty shocked the entire officialdom.
All brought a huge shock.
Why is this so?
Because it involves the credibility of the imperial examination!
When a country advocates the rule of law and the emperor tells the people all over the world that there are beautiful women in books and houses of gold in books, then the people must feel that the imperial examination is fair, and then everyone will sharpen their heads and go for it.
It was crowded inside and supported such imperial rule.
This is really not a lie.
For children from poor families before the Song Dynasty, the focus was on "family". Even if those who could claim family status declined, they only lost their deep political resources and still had a huge family fortune, which had nothing to do with ordinary people.
But starting from the Song Dynasty, children from poor families have become real ordinary people in the understanding of later generations. No matter how humble their origins, bookboys, orphans and even beggars can obtain fame and fame by relying on their own abilities, which is to create noble sons for poor families.
For example, Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was two years old. His mother remarried someone else and he was living in poverty. In order to study, he lived in a temple, studied hard day and night, lived on porridge, and finally became a high school scholar.
Ouyang Xiu lost his father when he was four years old, and his mother had no choice but to take him to live with his uncle. The living conditions of his uncle's family were also very poor, so he used straw to learn calligraphy in the sand.
There is even the first Jinshi in the millennium mentioned before. There is one who was born as a scholar. He was immersed in it while waiting for his master to study, studied hard and studied hard, and finally passed the Jinshi examination together with his master, and his ranking was still higher than Zeng Gong and Su Shi.
There are also many Jinshi who were born as beggars. I cannot give examples one by one. These people really climbed up from the bottom of society.
Therefore, the privileges enjoyed by scholar-officials are natural, because anyone can become a scholar-official through studying.
Under such circumstances, it is normal and necessary for the people to care about Imperial College. Here they can listen to lectures given by Jinshi scholars, and receive direct lectures from many Imperial scholars who were born in the imperial examinations. They also have three free meals, including food and accommodation.
If you give birth to a child who is talented and eager to learn, he can change the fate of the whole family by entering the imperial examination first and then the Jinshi examination.
If bribery and fraud occur in such a place, it will naturally arouse public excitement. In order to maintain its rule, the court must give an explanation to the people.
However, it is difficult to guarantee whether innocent people will be implicated in this process.
"If the censor goes to war, how many innocent students will suffer..."
At this time, Zhu Wu was standing by the window with his hands behind his back. His eyes showed concern and anger: "If that person hadn't looked through the diary, with the ability of the big-headed judge in Kaifeng Prefecture, he would have never noticed the bribery.
If I know the truth, I can kill those doctors slowly and the trouble will not get to this point!"
While he was murmuring, a voice came from behind him: "Is the person who reveals the truth worthy of your hatred? If you kill all the Doctors of Taixue at this time, will anything change?"
Zhu Wu turned around, then froze suddenly, almost rubbing his eyes: "You... you are 'Zuo Ming'..."
Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his aura completely overwhelming: "Apart from you who dares to pretend to be me, no one else has such courage!"
Zhu Wu's hands subconsciously grasped the double swords hidden at his waist.
His martial arts are not first-class, but he is quick-witted and decisive, and can often strike at the most appropriate time, so even when facing the most powerful people in the world, he can still deal with them.
But at this moment, facing the person in front of him, he had no confidence at all and could only whisper: "Aren't you afraid of me shouting?"
I have never seen such an arrogant rebel!
Cha Yu's censor was only a hundred steps away from here, and the Imperial City Secretary had been guarding him just now. How could this most important criminal in the imperial court dare to appear in front of him in such a grand manner?
Li Yandan glanced at him.
Zhu Wu realized that he had said something stupid.
From that abyss-like aura, as long as he dared to have such thoughts, he would die on the spot in the next breath.
He calmed down and took his hands away from the weapon. It seemed casual, but in fact he said carefully and carefully: "I pretended to be your culprit, and I do have malicious intentions. If you want to take my life when you enter the Imperial Academy, just come and do it!"
Appreciation flashed in Li Yan's eyes: "There is no need to retreat in order to advance. I have a few questions to ask you here. When you were promoted from Zhouxue to Taixue, where did you get in the make-up test?"
There are two ways to enter Taixue. One is to advance from a state school to Taixue, and the other is a commoner with a household registration in the capital who directly applies to be admitted to Taixue. No matter which one you choose, you must take the "make-up exam" for admission. Zhu Wu
It was unclear, but he still answered: "Second."
Li Yan said: "Is Chen Yu the first?"
Zhu Wu's expression changed completely: "How do you know about Chen Weiguo?"
There was regret in Li Yan's voice: "Chen Yu, courtesy name Weiguo, is a very brave student from Chuzhou who dared to expose the shady secrets of Taixue. Unfortunately, he ended up like that..."
Zhu Wu's lips trembled: "You actually know all about this?"
Li Yandao: "I know a lot more things than you think, such as your special way of revenge, concealing the fact of Taixue's fraud, and your idea of killing teachers and students who give and take bribes one by one."
"The reason why you did this is that other children from poor families in Taixue will be implicated in fraud. After all, for children from rich families, they have many choices for education. There are famous Confucian scholars in academies everywhere, but for children from poor families,
For young people, the cost of academies is too high, so Taixue is the best choice."
"So you would rather assassinate and let those dead die with a good reputation than expose the truth and let those people be punished openly."
Zhu Wu calmed down and said slowly: "That's right! Because I exposed the truth about the fraud, I can't let those rich families be punished. The ones who really lose their future are the students like Wei Guo who have worked hard for ten years...
…”
"What's more, even if the truth is revealed, will the imperial court execute those Imperial College officials? No, they will just be demoted and released. They can still be recalled after the amnesty. Since the imperial court will not impose punishments, I will execute them and let those greedy officials take over.
The doctor is in panic all day long and lives in fear..."
Li Yan commented: "A very rational revenge. You can not only risk your life for your friends, but also be so calm. You are very good!"
Zhu Wu thought he understood: "Your Majesty, you want to come and pull me to rebel together?"
There was a hint of wavering in his tone, but more of it was still resistance.
However, Li Yan shook his head directly: "I never force others, let alone use some underhanded means to recruit people into the gang. I am only here because of the conspiracy of the Ming Zun Cult and they want to use this to lure me out."
Zhu Wu was startled: "Ming Zunjiao?"
Li Yandao: "Chen Yu's classmate, Lu Shinang, a student who was expelled from Taixue together with him, is a member of the Mingzun sect."
There is no need to explain too much. After Zhu Wu thought for a moment, his expression quickly changed: "Could it be that..."
Li Yandao: "Everything has traces. I believe you also had doubts in the past. It was just that you didn't know Lu Shinang's true identity, so you couldn't see the mountain. Can you now understand the cause and effect?"
Zhu Wu said in a deep voice: "I understand, no wonder they asked me to pretend to be 'Zuo Ming'. It turned out that Xiang Zhuang danced the sword with the intention of Pei Gong... But they were wrong, very wrong! Your Excellency is too terrible, it is simply useless
I don’t know, is there no secret in everything in front of you?”
Li Yan said: "Of course I can't know everything. Mingzun taught the cunning rabbit three caves. I don't know where they are hiding now, so I came to see you."
If it were anyone else, this question would most likely not get a response, but the person in front of you is Zhu Wu, the future divine machine strategist, Wen Tao Wulue, Di Kuixing, the number one ranked among the seventy-two evils, and there are many more.
People feel that his ranking is too low, and they even think that he is much more useful than the real military advisor Wu Yong.
Not to mention who is better in the future, Wu Yong or Zhu Wu, at least at this moment, after Zhu Wu thought about it again, a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "I know where Mingzunjiao is hiding!"
