Zhang E, the imperial censor of Hokkaido; reported that he had heard about Beihai's false citizenship:
"His Majesty's Holy Grace has opened a new school in northern Xinjiang to recruit scholars. In the autumn of the four provinces, he was listed as a middle-ranking scholar. One out of ten scholars was selected. This is a prosperous teaching! Many students are grateful and virtuous; in the vast ice fields, the ice disappears and the snow melts.
After ten years of hard work, I finally got something, culture, military strategy, goods and an emperor. This is the way to rejuvenate the country and ensure long-term peace and stability!
I was ordered by the emperor to inspect Beihai Qiuwei. I heard that there were unscrupulous officials who, in order to pursue their own selfish desires, privately accepted bribes from scholars from other places, changed their household registration, and even changed the names of their parents, abandoning all human relations, just to get on the list. Those who are on the list,
There are so many!
Although it is only anecdotal, it is true that the school inspector He Zixiang bribed the minister 20,000 taels. If there was no connection, why did he bribe the minister? In order to avoid his suspicion, he accepted it falsely.
Your Majesty is now requested to dispatch a specialist to examine the students’ academic status in detail. Right and wrong can be seen clearly at a glance. With a little knowledge, we are waiting for the Holy Judgment."
After seeing Zhang E's secret, Zhu Hengjia was furious.
If Li Yindu's article "Strange Beihai, the literary style is at its peak or Brother Kong Fang is rampant" is just speculation without actual evidence. Then, Zhang E's book mentioned a detail: He Zixiang, the admiral of Beihai, bribed Zhang
20,000 taels of silver. How could He Zixiang, a poor Taoist official, get so much money? A gift of 20,000 taels of silver? In addition, the number of people who passed the examination in Beihai Province was unexpectedly high. If there is no hidden secret, it would be really obvious
What a ghost!
In fact, ever since Li Yindu shouted in the newspaper that someone was taking the exam in Beihai, Zhu Hengjia had decided to pursue the matter. First, the pressure from public opinion was too great, and he had to make a gesture to inflate the anger of the people; second,
The imperial examination represents imperial power. If someone cheats in the examination, it means disrespecting the imperial power. This is something the old emperor cannot tolerate at any cost!
An order was immediately issued: Guo Zhiqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Cai Yingchang, the imperial censor of Zuodu, and Zhang Tiaoding, the minister of Dali Temple, were jointly tried by the three legal departments to review the case; He Zixiang, the governor of Beihai, was brought to Beijing.
??
It was already dusk, Nanjing was closed, and Sun Jinding, the second assistant, was sitting in his study, reading a letter and meditating.
The letter was written by his confidant Ye Shimao, the governor of Shanbei Province. In addition to the usual greetings, the letter specifically mentioned that this autumn, an unusually large number of people passed the imperial examination in Beihai Province, and vaguely revealed that he was worried about the governor of Beihai.
What does it mean that something happened to Si Tong?
Ye Shimao and Jin Bao are Sun Jinding's two great think tanks. Sun Jinding has no doubts about Ye Shimao's ability. Since he is worried that something will happen to Wan Sitong, it will definitely not be a trivial matter!
However, Wan Sitong has been with me for some years and is considered a backbone of the Sun Party. If he really commits fraud, he will inevitably be involved. Grand Master Sun knows this person well and he is courageous in doing things, but he is too courageous!
If he really took bribes privately and tampered with the student status of candidates, Grand Master Sun would be the first to believe it.
Wan Sitong, Wan Sitong, you are so brave! If you accept some bribes for other things, I can still protect you; but if you commit cheating in the examination room, something that offends the dragon scale, I can't save you.
!
Sun Jinding was thinking about how to cut off from Wan Sitong in order to protect himself, when his youngest son Sun Yingwen burst in and said, "Father, I'm sorry, look at what is written in this newspaper."
"Go out and come in again after getting permission."
Sun Jinding shouted sharply: "How many times have I told you that you should be calm when dealing with big things, but you always don't listen. Alas! I have been growing cabbage with my father for so long, but the true meaning of growing vegetables has not changed at all.
I didn’t realize it!”
"Yes, father."
Sun Yingwen bowed and exited, straightened her clothes, and said unhurriedly: "Father, I have something to report."
"Come in."
Sun Yingwen entered and handed over a copy of "Fushe Daily".
Sun Jinding took a look at the title: "Strange Beihai, the literary style is at its peak or Brother Kong Fang is rampant", and then looked at the signature: Mr. Tiansheng. He couldn't help but be stunned, "This was written by Li Yindu, the madman from Guanzhong? He said that there was fraud in the imperial examination in Beihai
?"
"Exactly. Father, although Li Yindu has no official position, he has been cheering for the King of Ji. This time he attacked someone in Beihai who pretended to be a nationality to take the exam. Could it be the order of the King of Ji?" Sun Ying said classically. p>
"King Ji?"
Sun Jinding thought about it, he had never offended King Ji, so why did he want people to attack his confidants? This matter is strange.
He said in a deep voice: "I heard that Li Yindu is aloof and arrogant, and likes to fight against injustice. This may not be the instigation of King Ji. Maybe he wants to be a lone hero. Just wait, the imaginary will be real, and the real will be imaginary. If Ji
The king sent someone to explain that this matter was most likely his fault. If he had not sent someone, but had been selfless and magnanimous, it must have been Li Kuangsheng and Er Lengzi who committed the crime, and it had nothing to do with His Highness King Ji."
"Master, Jin Yushi wants to see you." The father and son were analyzing, and the housekeeper came to report.
"Let him in," Sun Jinding sighed, "It seems that Ye Shimao's worries are about to come true!"
"Your Majesty, please see Mr. Ge", Jinbao, the censor of Youqiandu, saluted calmly.
Sun Jinding admired this aspect of him the most, even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his expression remained unchanged, "Duke Wei came here at night, could there be a change?"
"Mr. Zhang E, the imperial censor of Hokkaido, returned to Beijing yesterday and went to the Supreme Court overnight to impeach the governor of Beihai. He Zixiang bribed him with 20,000 taels, and also suspected that a scholar was falsely studying in Beihai for scientific research. Today at the Supervisory Council
, Zhang E reported the matter to Zhang Tiaoding, the minister of Dali Temple, and asked him to raise a censor to attack it. The lower official thought, how dare he have the courage to cheat in the examination room when he just mentions learning Taoism? I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will be sent to the inspection.
Sitong can't escape his involvement. Wan Sitong is your man, you have to make an idea!"
Sun Jinding sighed, "Gong Wei, if Wan Sitong had committed other crimes, I would have saved him from death. But what he committed was examination fraud, which is second only to treason in our court. Even if I want to
Guaranteed, the Holy Spirit will never spare him. In this matter, we can only leave it to fate!"
After hearing this, Jin Bao felt a chill in his heart. Mr. Ge regarded Wan Sitong as an abandoned son! He asked without giving up: "Mr. Ge, do you want to say hello to Wan Sitong?"
"No!"
Sun Jinding shouted sharply: "If you say hello to him, you and I will become accomplices. However, you don't have to worry too much. The "Fushe Daily" has already spread the news about Beihai's fake citizenship. Wan Sitong has always been decisive. He
You will know how to do it."
??
Zhu Ruodeng, the Ji Wang of the Ming Dynasty, couldn't sit still. As Sun Jinding said, "Fushe Daily" had already spread the news about Beihai's fake citizenship. Naturally, he also saw Li Yindu's article.
Everyone thinks that Li Yindu is an isolated person, while Beihai Inspector Wan Sitong and Admiral He Zixiang are all members of Mr. Sun Ge. Will Li Yindu offend Mr. Sun Ge by attacking them for fraud? Damn it, Sun Ge
Mr. Ge won’t think it means being alone, right?
In desperation, he invited Lu Shiyi, "Master Lu, what should we do about this matter? Do you want to explain it to Mr. Sun Ge in person?"
"Your Highness only needs to calm down. The more you explain this kind of thing, the more guilty you will appear." Lu Shiyi said with a smile: "Sometimes, not doing anything is just doing something."
??
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
After Guan Shouzhen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, learned about Zhang Dai's plan to use Li Yindu to sow discord between the Sun Party and the Ji Wang Party, he couldn't help but praise the case. He is worthy of being a senior scholar and a hero of party struggle! This trick kills two birds with one stone and kills with a borrowed knife, making him a master!
