Chapter 714: The case must be investigated thoroughly
"No matter what, Qian Shangshu has become the current target. When we make arrangements, we absolutely cannot allow such people to continue."
"We must investigate to find out the truth. Those students can't take any credit, and watch them die in vain like this."
"When the Ming Dynasty was taking part in the imperial examinations, there were many students everywhere. If they just ignored them, wouldn't their deaths have been in vain?"
"Who will dare to take part in the imperial examination in the future? This is not only for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but also for the sake of the imperial court."
Zhu Yuanzhang has been emperor for so many years, and what he hates most is that someone is so arrogant under his nose.
In fact, all his actions have already been revealed to the officials in the DPRK and China.
As long as they can understand all the plans of the imperial court as soon as possible, they will be able to make various arrangements.
There are more and more people practicing favoritism and malpractice, and there are naturally not a few people who are taking bribes and bending the law. There are still people who dare to do such big tricks in the imperial examination.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are absolutely impossible to tolerate. Officials all know Zhu Yuanzhang's temper.
Now that something like this has happened, everyone knows the seriousness. As long as they can investigate clearly, they will naturally not let this situation develop any further.
Seeing that Zhu Han was silent, everyone looked at Zhu Han in confusion.
"My lord, in your opinion, how should we investigate this matter clearly now? Is it possible that we can turn a blind eye and watch these scholars being implicated?"
Zhu Han shook his head. He had already made various preparations for these students, and they had already reached this point.
Naturally, they will not be allowed to be unjustly accused again.
But if you want to investigate the truth, you have to start with Qian Shangshu.
This person is insidious and cunning. No evidence has been leaked and it can be directly linked to him.
This made it impossible to find any clues about him in the next period of time.
Zhu Han was a little annoyed.
"Since cases of imperial examination fraud have appeared, they must be investigated clearly, and these people must not be allowed to continue to escape justice."
"This is also something that our court must solve, but the safety of the students must also be guaranteed."
The situation of the students actually seemed more and more calm in Zhu Han's eyes.
The reason why he was able to solve all these problems was not just because he wanted to see the success of his students.
In fact, my own plans have already seen more and more bottlenecks.
When making arrangements, he was able to find clues as quickly as possible at every step the students took.
Everyone nodded after hearing Zhu Han's words.
"What the prince said is indeed correct, but if we want to investigate the truth now, we must let Dali Temple come forward."
"We don't know anyone from Dali Temple either. I heard that the young minister of Dali Temple is now extremely powerful. This is just a sweet and selfless thing."
He Fengyu hurriedly stepped forward. He and Chen Wenhui had some friendship.
This time, Zhu Han was able to find the person from Dali Temple without actually wasting much effort.
If Chen Wenhui has many connections with Qian Shangshu, then he will definitely be severely punished.
Since Zhu Han has made preparations, it is absolutely impossible for them to cause trouble for these students.
Therefore, during the discussion, Zhu Han also told everyone about the matter between himself and Chen Wenhui.
Let them have some peace of mind.
"Chen Wenhui was deeply promoted by Qian Shangshu before. If he really brings this matter to Qian Shangshu now, he probably won't be prepared for us."
"This kind of people are really cruel and ruthless, and we must never let them succeed."
The opportunity is close at hand, if something goes wrong in it.
Naturally, there won’t be too many worries at all.
When Zhu Han made arrangements, he hit the mark every time.
After listening to everyone's words, Zhu Han stood up slowly and glanced at Zhu Biao.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in Yingtian Mansion for such a long time, so he must know who the person behind the money is."
"Now these officials have a good relationship with me. You can speak out boldly. As long as you have questions about Minister Qian, we are willing to listen to your opinions."
Zhu Han's words stunned Zhu Biao.
He looked at Zhu Han with complicated eyes. He originally thought that this matter could continue to be concealed.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Han had already discovered many clues.
Now that we have reached this stage, if he continues to conceal it, he may get into Zhu Yuanzhang's ears in the future, and he will also be implicated.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhu Han told Zhu Biao the truth of the matter.
"If His Highness the Crown Prince continues to hesitate, more people will be implicated. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince just watches so many students die one by one?"
Zhu Han's words instantly dispelled Zhu Biao's hesitation.
At this time, several officials were whispering in low voices, and they understood the underlying meaning of Zhu Han's words.
Ying Tianfu can give money to the minister, but there are not many people as backers.
His status must be similar to that of Zhu Biao. Otherwise, it will be difficult to walk sideways in Yingtian Mansion.
"Who has been supporting Qian Shangshu all this time? Although he does have some strength."
"Nowadays, human lives must be at stake, and we must not allow people like this to continue to get away with it."
"Many officials have searched, but there are no clues. Could it be that this person is also a relative of the emperor."
"Is it possible that the person who is favored by His Majesty along with His Royal Highness is..."
Officials suddenly did not dare to discuss it further.
This is likely to suffer a lot of impacts, and they have clearly planned it before.
But I didn't expect that now, I would suddenly suspect the same person.
Seeing that they have almost guessed it now.
Zhu Biao also knew that if he kept hiding it, no one would be able to prove it for him.
So, Zhu Biao stood up slowly and lowered his head in front of several courtiers.
"As you may think, Qian Shangshu has a close relationship with my fourth brother. One of his daughters is now his concubine."
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to explode.
Only Zhu Han remained calm.
He Fengyu heard about this for the first time, and he looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief.
"No wonder Qian Shangshu was so brazen in Yingtian Mansion, and even Haiyang said that his official position would definitely rise steadily in the future. Unexpectedly
He actually has this kind of relationship with His Highness King Yan.
"But now that King Yan has been banned, he can still be so confident."
The matter of grain and yellow leaves caused an uproar in Yingtian Mansion, and Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the truth of the matter.
Zhu Di was grounded in the first place just to avoid these disputes.
But I didn't expect that my blind protection of him would lead to such a disaster.
Zhu Biao was also a little helpless. He had already inquired about a lot of information before.
But now the relationship between Qian Shangshu and Zhu Di is just there, without Zhu Di as his backer.
Naturally, Qian Shangshu did not dare to do this, he was arrogant and arrogant.
"I really didn't expect that so many things would happen to a small Yingtian Mansion."
"My father must not have any hesitation when making arrangements before. It seems that there are indeed traces of all this."
Zhu Biao had thought about it before.
If Zhu Di did something wrong, he would definitely let him suffer the consequences.
But when the incident broke out, there was still a trace of luck left in his heart.
After all, he is his younger brother, and he must not be affected like this.
"Perhaps there will be another turning point in this matter. It's better to investigate. Maybe it's Qian Shangshu who wants King Yan to protect him for what he did."
"That's right. King Yan is now extremely powerful, and he has a lot of strength in Yintian Kingdom."
"All the efforts he is making now will never let others create any trouble for him again."
Zhu Han could hear their discussion clearly, but Zhu Han's ideas were very different from theirs.
"Do you think that King Yan has reached this point because of his own doing?"
"Actually, someone else did this intentionally with the help of others, including Huang Ye."
As soon as Zhu Han said this, everyone looked at Zhu Han in shock, hoping to know the truth as soon as possible.
Zhu Han didn't hesitate at all.
He told everyone that a lot of information that Zhu Yuanzhang and he investigated during the private visit in Weibo actually had little to do with King Yan.
All of this was done deliberately by his subordinates, which led to King Yan being implicated.
Now he has been confined for almost a month, during which Qian Shangshu did not go to see King Yan.
"Qian Shangshu thought that by sending his daughter away, he would be protected by King Yan, but in fact King Yan never paid attention to him from beginning to end."
"This case of imperial examination fraud is making a big fuss, so we can just take this opportunity to completely pour all this dirty water on King Yan."
"If my guess is correct, the next step he will definitely say is that it is related to King Yan."
Zhu Han's words shocked everyone present.
Zhu Biao was even more shocked.
He never thought that someone would do such a heinous thing.
Zhu Di has a very broad mind. When he was in the court, he would put all his goals on those important officials in the court.
The generals in the army have many connections, but they do not have many private contacts with the court officials.
But now Huang Ye's incident has had a huge impact. Even if he is given a few more courages, I am afraid Zhu Di will not touch it again.
All matters concerning the imperial examination were arranged by Zhu Biao. Now that something like this happens, people will definitely not think of Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? If Minister Qian is framed like this."
"If His Highness Prince Yan takes his daughter's face into consideration, he might actually be open to Qian Shangshu.com."
"There is no evidence now. This is nothing more than speculation. If it is true, then it would be like throwing yourself into a trap."
Zhu Han heard everyone's speculations clearly.
He also has different opinions.
This time, Qian Shangshu was the direct murderer of the imperial examination fraud case, causing the deaths of the students.
I'm afraid he didn't even think of it, but since the imperial court wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, it would definitely have to let Qian Shangshu peel off the skin.
Zhu Han would not let such a person go unpunished, nor would he wrongly accuse a good person.
"When the students' affairs are in such a big mess, it's hard to explain things underground."
"I have arranged for people to conduct a secret investigation. What you know today must be kept secret after you return. You must not let anyone know."
Everyone nodded after hearing Zhu Han's words.
After sending them all away, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao remained silent in the study for a long time.
Zhu Biao could not calm down for a long time.
"This matter is really related to the fourth brother. Wouldn't it make Qian Shangshu jump over the wall in a hurry?"
"He will really blame all the mistakes on others and not take responsibility himself. This kind of person is really hateful."
Zhu Di has always been eyeing the throne.
It's just that Zhu Biao doesn't know it. He has always regarded his fourth brother as important. Brothers, friends, respect and harmony between brothers is what Zhu Biao has always upheld the most.
Zhu Yuanzhang valued him most.
But now that something like this has happened, it seems pointless to continue to defend Zhu Di.
Zhu Han glanced at Zhu Biao meaningfully, and he suddenly recalled that the brotherhood between Zhu Biao and Zhu Di in history was indeed very strong.
After Zhu Biao fell ill, Zhu Di continued to seek medicine for him everywhere, even wearing armor and fighting in all directions.
Just to alleviate the crisis of Ming Dynasty.
But in the end, Zhu Biao died, and Zhu Di would not raise an army to rebel.
But now, everything seems to have changed.
Zhu Di's ambition for the throne has slowly become apparent.
He also holds a certain amount of military power.
It is precisely because of this that his ambition gradually began to expand.
Zhu Han looked at the current situation and considered it carefully. Someone must be operating secretly.
This incident made Zhu Di and Zhu Biao start to do such treacherous and unethical things.
"The King of Yan may have established these days, and he has gained the support of many courtiers in the court."
"I was worried that I might not be able to win His Majesty's favor in the future, so I took the risk."
"There is no point in cultivating your own talents in the imperial examination. If you think of stealing the chicken but losing the rice, you will throw a stone and drop it on your own foot."
The meaning of Zhu Han's words is self-evident.
Zhu Biao suddenly looked at Zhu Han in shock, and he came up with a more shocking idea in his heart.
Things were never as they seemed.
"It's true to say so. My fourth brother wanted to cultivate his own talents and left this matter to Qian Shangshu, but he didn't expect Qian Shangshu to actually..."
In order to gain the appreciation of his younger brother, he directly leaked the test questions.
As a result, the current situation was created. He thought that the students would never discover the cases of fraud in the imperial examinations.
But I didn't expect that this time I would hit a hard wall.
Zhu Han admired Zhu Biao more and more. It was really good that he could think of this.
"Not only Ge Rong but also Tao An and others, these northern students have always been very strong, which is in sharp contrast to the indecisive character of the southern students."
