Liu Fengquanxian also didn't expect that Zhang Yu had just become a scholar of the Xia Dynasty and came up to offer advice. He was also a little surprised. When he heard the words "Xiuwenyuan Case", he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He had heard about this matter, and he vaguely knew that it seemed to be involved in something, so he did not continue to investigate further.
He looked at Mr. Kuang, but the latter looked straight at him with extremely determined eyes.
After Zhang Yu spoke, Duke Kuang and all the Xia scholars realized that no matter what, they must support Zhang Yu this time.
Because Xia Shi pays attention to the overall interests, this is not only the first time Zhang Yu has put forward scholar advice, but also the first formal suggestion at this scholar meeting, and they will definitely support it.
Liu Fengquan looked around and saw that all the Xia Shi were looking at him at the moment, and immediately understood the meaning they conveyed.
In fact, he had never cared about "little things" such as the fire in the Liberal Arts Academy. What he cared about was how to maintain the order of the Protectorate, how to stabilize the capital, how to balance all parties, and how to make his own
Willing to be carried out,
But if Zhang Yu brought it up on the spot during the scholar's discussion, then the capital must give an explanation, or give a characterization of the matter, and it would never be as vague as before.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Shijun, please wait a moment, I will ask you about this matter first."
Zhang Yu clasped his hands together, returned to his seat, and sat down again.
He knew very well that the Xiuwen Academy matter involved a lot. If he had discussed it among the scholars first, then due to various constraints and concerns, even if he could put forward suggestions, it would not be settled.
Maybe it will be postponed until next year or even later.
In this case, it is better to raise it directly on the first remonstrance. On the one hand, there are not so many scruples, and on the other hand, most of the Xia scholars will choose to support him.
Although Kuang Gong and others chose to support Zhang Yu, they must first figure out what happened. After all, many of them had not been to Ruiguang for a long time, and even the Xiuwen Academy was burned down.
Never heard of anything.
Several people tried to ask, and naturally a civil servant nearby came to answer, saying that the matter was caused by a fire in the Xiuwen Academy four years ago, which burned everything inside.
Yu Gong frowned and said: "I remember, Shiyi and all the ritual and music instruments of the Protectorate in the past were placed in Xiuwen Yuan, right?"
The civil servant did not dare to hide anything and whispered: "Back to Mr. Yu, those ritual and musical instruments...were all burned in that fire."
Mr. Yu's brows deepened and he said, "But what happened to those ritual and musical instruments I saw in Zhaotang when I came last month?"
The clerk lowered his head and said with some embarrassment: "That was copied later."
In fact, these ritual and musical instruments are used to deal with the traditional Tianxia people who value them very much. And they are said to be imitations, but in fact they are very similar in appearance and cannot produce the original sound at all. However, no one can play these instruments for a long time.
, so I’m not afraid of any flaws being discovered.
Yu Gong snorted and asked: "Then where does the fire come from? Is it caused by humans, or is it self-generated by heavenly fire? How is the result dealt with?"
The clerk hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said: "This matter has no result, because we can't find out the reason, so there is no conclusion..."
An angry look appeared on Mr. Yu's face, and he said: "There is no result? How can there be no result? Where is the Wenxiu Academy? It is the place where documents are recorded, how can it be ignored? No wonder Zhang Jun raised this matter, it must be something to do
Thoroughly investigated!”
At this time, Liu Fengquan had called the chief divination officer of the Sikou Yamen Office to him and inquired about the matter in detail.
The chief fortune teller had chubby cheeks, a bloated body, and thin skin and tender flesh. He did not look like the majesty of a government official at all. He said with a bitter face: "My lord, I was still engaged in this job four years ago. This matter has nothing to do with me...
…”
Liu Fengquan didn't want to hear this at all. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bu, you don't need to tell me about the internal affairs of the Kou Yamen Office. You only need to tell me whether this matter can be investigated?"
Chief Bu took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around, and whispered: "It's better not to check..."
Liu Fengquan frowned and said, "Why?"
Director Bu hesitated for a moment and then said: "This matter is related to the Shenwei Army. After Director Mei learned about it at that time, he did not dare to investigate further and ordered people to seal up and archive everything found."
"The Divine Lieutenant Army?"
Liu Fengquan snorted and said, "Then do you know why they burned down the Wenxiu Monastery?"
This was the thing that puzzled him the most. The Shenwei Army was a pure force organization and had nothing to do with civil affairs. Why did it burn down the literary monastery when it had nothing to do with it?
Although Mr. Bu looks mediocre, he has been in the office for a very long time and is nicknamed "The Master of Matters". He has no unclear knowledge of what has happened in the past few decades.
He lowered his voice and said: "From the clues that were later verified, the Shenwei Army should have wanted to take something important from the Literary Academy, and the subsequent arson was to cover up their own traces."
Liu Fengquan thought for a while. He didn't know what the Shenwei Army wanted, but he thought it wouldn't be something simple.
He then looked at the chiefs of various government agencies around him and said, "Chiefs, please tell me how to deal with this matter."
Song, the head of the Department of Goods, said slowly: "Gongfu, I think we need to understand clearly how involved the Shenwei Army is in this matter, which faction of the four military commanders did this, and why Zhang Shijun asked
Investigate this matter thoroughly? What does he know? Does he have some evidence, and what step does he want to get to? "
Liu Fengquan nodded and said: "Speaking of experience."
The reexamination of the fire case in the Liberal Arts Academy was a clear remonstration from the scholar's meeting. On the surface, it was a reasonable request. As the director, he had no reason to shirk it. It would be impossible not to investigate.
But it is obviously not feasible to push the Shenwei Army into a hurry, so even if this matter needs to be investigated, it is necessary to know in advance at which step it can stop, so as not to expand to the point where it is beyond control.
Jiang Dingyi said nothing. Although he gave Zhang Yu a push, when it came to matters involving the capital, as a neutral faction, he would not make a fuss.
The few people discussed it for a while and finally came to a consensus.
After Liu Fengquan asked everyone to return to their seats, he said to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Shijun, I have a general understanding of this matter from the chief divination officer. This is an old case with no results. You asked for a thorough investigation, then
Have you got any clues and reasons? I hope you can tell me so that the authorities can investigate."
Zhang Yu did not stand up again this time, but cupped his hands on his seat and said: "Everyone must have heard that when I came to Taiyang Academy, I was not following the right path, but recommended myself to enroll.
However, I had already passed the academy selection when I was twelve years old. However, I was still young at that time and my adoptive father was worried that I would not be able to take care of myself, so I was not allowed to enter the school.
However, after five years, Yu came to Ruiguang City to get back his manuscripts. When he entered the Admission Palace, he heard that the manuscripts he had sent to the Literary Academy had been destroyed by a fire three years ago, so he
Yu can only enroll by self-recommendation."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized why, despite Zhang Yu's demonstrated knowledge, he did not pursue a "proper career" but chose a self-recommended path. It turned out to be such a reason.
Xu Wenyue and the other three people also expressed sympathy for him, but at the same time, they felt a sense of admiration in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Yu was able to suppress his emotions and apply for admission by self-recommendation. This shows how strong his heart and will are. If it were them, they would have been shattered by such news.
.
At this moment, they felt convinced that they had lost.
Zhang Yu continued: "When Yu entered the academy, he felt that this matter was fishy or that there might be some inside story, so he spent a lot of time in private to collect a lot of useful evidence."
Yu Gong said: "Zhang Jun, where are those evidences now?"
Zhang Yu said: "Now where the emperor lives, you can call someone to fetch it immediately."
Yu Gongdao: "Okay, then please ask Mr. Zhang to bring those evidences to the court!"
Zhang Yu nodded, asked someone to come over and explained, and someone went down to get it for him.
He is not afraid that this thing will be destroyed halfway, because he still has an identical document in the bank office. If someone does it, it will prove that the matter is not that simple.
While waiting, someone on the seat raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I don't understand something and I want to ask for advice."
Zhang Yu looked over and saw a young official with clear eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
The young official asked: "In the past, in the Taiyang Academy selection examination, in order to avoid mistakes and omissions, every student must have a guarantor. There is no document left. Why didn't Mr. Zhang go find a guarantor to appeal?"
Zhang Yudao: "This is another thing that the emperor wants to say. The name of the emperor's protector is Shu Tong, who is an old friend of his adoptive father. After the Wenxiu Academy was burned down, four members of the Shu family were also killed at home. Later,
"Destroyed by a fire, the two methods are exactly the same."
Many people present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. What kind of deep grudge is this? To be so ruthless?
Kuang Gong said coldly: "It's cruel and vicious, it's outrageous!"
Zhang Yu looked up at this time and said: "There are still many questions about the Wenxiu Academy, but it has been clearly verified who took the imperial books and who harmed the four members of Shu Tong's family.
!”
Yu Gong immediately asked: "Who did it?"
Zhang Yu said slowly: "The Imperial Documents were obtained by Yan Zhu, the son of Yan Xulun, the deputy captain of the Shenwei Army, and the one who killed Shu Tong's family was Ning Kunlun, the Hou of the Left Army of the Shenwei Army!"
As soon as he said this, Liu Fengquan's expression changed.
He had never thought before that this matter not only involved a former military commander of the Shenwei Army, but also the deputy chief of the Shenwei Army. At this time, he couldn't sit still anymore, couldn't help but stood up, and asked in a deep voice: "
Zhang Jun, how can you prove this?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Ning Kunlun confessed this to me personally."
Liu Feng looked slightly surprised and said: "I heard that Ning Kunlun, the Houjun of the Shenwei Army's Left Army, has been missing for several months. Does Zhang Jun know his whereabouts?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Not bad."
Liu Fengquan asked: "Then...where are they? Are they alive or dead?"
Zhang Yu took out an object from his sleeve, tossed it casually, and let it fall on the aisle of the great assembly hall. With a crisp sound, everyone saw a blood-colored gem rolling there, and then
His calm voice sounded in the lobby, "This man has been killed by me myself."
