Yinzhen had no intention of listening to what he said next. He just closed his eyes and kept thinking about what he just said. Hongshi... it really had something to do with Hongshi. He actually colluded with Yingge and leaked the test questions. How brave he was!
Thinking of this, he suddenly opened his eyes and shot out endless coldness, "It is said that Yingge and Hongshi came to the palace to see me."
When Yingge saw Sixi in the Duke's Mansion, his hands holding the teacup shook and almost fell to the ground. Although he did not let go, both hands were splashed, and his skin suddenly turned red.
.
Si Xi saw this scene in his eyes, but said nothing. He just stepped forward and said, "I would like to pay my respects to you, sir."
Yingge forced out a smile and said: "My father-in-law, please get up. I wonder why my father-in-law is here?"
"I have been ordered by the emperor to ask you to go to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. I also ask you to leave with me immediately so as not to keep the emperor waiting for a long time." Facing Sixi's words, Yingge was in a daze. What was supposed to come finally came, and he couldn't help it.
avoid...
Under Sixi's gaze, he stood up unsteadily. This was the first time he stood up since returning from Prince Ding's Mansion. He absolutely didn't want to go on this trip, because if he went there, he might not be alive again.
But he had to go. Even though the Nala clan had an amazing background, even if there were secret guards, he still had no qualifications to resist, because he was facing the entire Qing Dynasty. In front of this huge country, no individual had any strength.
Unless he can pull out an army of more than ten or two hundred thousand to fight against it.
When Yingge came outside the Yangxin Palace, he saw Hongshi who had also been passed into the palace. After the two looked at each other, they stepped into the palace together.
After the two of them had saluted, Yinzhen did not rush to question sharply, but said in an unusually calm tone: "This autumn, I personally formulated the test questions, but it was still leaked, and now everyone in the capital knows about it.
, do you know who leaked it?"
Yingge stood there, trembling slightly, but Hongshi looked much calmer. He cupped his hands and said: "Returning to Huang Ama, I have also heard that some people are selling test questions in restaurants and teahouses, but the test questions were drawn up by Huang Ama himself.
, and only gave it to the fourth brother and the examiners from each province, how could it be leaked out, so I think this is just someone trying to fool the candidates who are about to take the exam and make a profit from it, so there is no need to worry at all."
Yinzhen's eyes were like a sharp sword, scraping across Hong Shi's calm face, "Hong Shi, do you really think so?"
Hongshi resisted the subconscious impulse to escape and said with a serious face: "This is natural. At least until I hear the news about any examiner's test questions being leaked, I dare to say that all the test questions circulating in the capital are fake.
.”
Yinzhen nodded, patted the handrail with the dragon's head carved on it, stood up and said, "I asked Sixi to inquire about it. The test question now circulated in the capital is: The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection.
Coincidentally, the question I asked was exactly this."
Hongshi pretended to be surprised and said: "This is impossible. How could Huang Ama's question be leaked? Could it be some examiner who did it?" As he said this, he turned his eyes to Hongli, and his meaning was not clear.
And metaphor.
Yinzhen shook his head, put his hands behind his back and sighed: "Hongshi, at this moment, do you still want to act in front of me? Pan Rongxuan and Xiayue have already said everything, and it was you and Yingge who were responsible for the leak of the test questions.
, you two are the culprits behind all this **!"
Hongshi looked panicked and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Emperor Ama Mingjian, how could I do such a thing? This... this is simply impossible."
Yinzhen did not speak, but kept shaking his head. After returning from Henan, in Yinzhen's heart, although Hongshi still could not be compared with Hongli, he was still highly regarded. Now that he suddenly learned everything, he was inevitably disappointed and annoyed.
But when his eyes fell on Yingge's face, he turned into complete resentment, "Yingge, why did you do this? How did I treat you so badly? You want to conspire with my son to plot this autumn."
Wei, plot against my other son?!"
While Yinzhen was still speaking, Yingge could no longer bear the pressure, fell to his knees on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I...damn it..."
Before he could continue, Yinzhen suddenly interrupted him and said: "I don't want to listen to this, I just want to hear the reason why you did this. I asked myself that I have never treated you poorly, so why are you dissatisfied?"
Yingge tried hard to control the trembling of his lips and teeth, and said: "I...I was confused for a moment, and I understand my guilt." After swallowing, he said again: "But there is one thing, I must say, this matter is related to the two
My brother has nothing to do with it, everything was my idea, and Pan Rongxuan was also sent by my men to find him."
From just now, Hongli felt a little strange, because Yingge had never denied it, but directly admitted that he had done it. This was really not like Yingge's style. Logically speaking, he should deny it with all his strength. After all, like that
Only then did he have the chance to live. To admit it would be to kill oneself and push oneself into the abyss. Until this moment, Hongli finally understood the reason why Yingge did this. He was not crazy or desperate, but making a choice and sacrificing himself.
, to protect Hongshi.
"It has nothing to do with Hongshi?" Yinzhen sneered and said this, stroking his forehead and saying: "Yingge, when can I let you fool me? If it really has nothing to do with Hongshi, why did Pan Rongxuan drag Hongshi into it?
If it has nothing to do with him, why did you harm Hongli?" After saying this, his voice was cold, as if a cold wind was blowing through everyone's bodies, causing the temperature in the early autumn to drop suddenly.
Yingge clasped his hands and tried hard to control the trembling of his body, but the result was that it only made him tremble more violently. "I admit that the reason why I did so much is to deal with the fourth elder brother, so as to assist the second elder brother in the future."
However, I have never mentioned all this to the second elder brother, because although the second elder brother is close to me, he values family ties more and will not disrupt the court situation or deal with his brothers just for these reasons."
"Uncle, did you really do all this?" Hongshi was very good at acting. He looked in disbelief, as if it was really the first time he heard about it. The next moment, he said loudly: "Uncle, are you crazy?
,How can you do such a thing?!"
Yingge also cooperated and said: "Second brother, I just knew you wouldn't agree, so I didn't tell you. But now, there is nothing to hide anymore."
Hongli said: "Second brother, if you and Lord Yingge are like this, does it mean that Pan Rongxuan is deceiving Emperor Ama?"
Before they could speak, Pan Rongxuan hurriedly said: "The common people did not lie. Every word that the common people said is true. Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother. It was really Lord Yingge and the second elder brother who asked the ordinary people to break the fire seal and take it out."
