Of course, a large part of the reason why Gu Qiancheng dared to bet was because of Qin Jiyan's existence.
She believed that if the old emperor really wanted to take her life, Qin Jiyan would definitely stop him. No matter what, her life would not be in danger.
Just because she knew she couldn't die, Gu Qiancheng had no scruples. Besides, it could be said that it was an accident or a coincidence for her to expose this kind of thing, but for Qin Jiyan to expose it, it would be against the fifth prince and the old emperor.
dissatisfied with the decision.
However, there was no need for her to tell Jing Yan these things, "If you come to me just for this matter, I don't think we have anything to talk about."
After saying that, she stood up and was about to walk out, but as she took a step forward, she heard Jing Yan suddenly say: "Are you interested in the maritime business?" Maritime business can make huge profits, so of course she is interested.
She is not short of money, but the King of Qin is. Gold beads and gold sand also have a hollowed out line. If you cannot cut off the source, you must open up the flow.
"Do you have a way?" Gu Qiancheng sat back again.
This was going to be a long conversation. Jing Yan's face lit up and he said with a smile: "Jingzhuang has a shipping business."
"Aren't you looking for me to cooperate with Jingzhuang's business?" If that was the case, she would just pretend that she didn't hear it.
Jingzhuang does not have a large share in shipping, and Jingzhuang has always done well, so there is no need to find anyone to cooperate.
What she wants is cooperation, not charity.
"Of course not, why do you think so highly of Jingzhuang's small business?" In other words, King Qin didn't like it.
"If it's not Jingzhuang, where else can you go?" Gu Qiancheng vaguely guessed.
Jing Yan looked at Gu Qiancheng and said inscrutably: "There is no way, we can rob."
Sure enough, it was as she thought. Gu Qiancheng chuckled and asked, "Is your appetite too big?" To snatch things, the King of Qin really needs to come forward. No matter how great Jingzhuang's reputation is, it can only be limited to the world, and the shipping business wants to
To grow bigger, there will be a lot of influence in the world, but the power of the imperial court is indispensable.
Jing Yan did not answer, but asked: "Will it?"
Of course!
The lion's share of shipping has always been in the hands of the King of Zhou, so Jing Yan's move was undoubtedly to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
However, the struggle for the throne is like this. The Qin Dynasty is so big. If Qin Jiyan wants to expand his power, he must threaten the interests of others. King Zhou is not the first, and he will not be the last.
Gu Qiancheng thought for a while and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will give you an answer in three days."
"Okay, it's still early, I'm not in a hurry." After finishing the business, Jing Yan stood up to see the guests off without any further entanglement.
Gu Qiancheng smiled, said goodbye and left...
After the scientific examination fraud case broke out, the capital was in chaos. On the surface, nothing could be seen, but secretly, all directions were moving together, and people of all kinds were constantly operating in secret.
King Zhao and King Zhou didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing that the opportunity was rare, they couldn't help but stretched out their black hands, trying to throw black water on Qin Jiyan, and at the same time, they also wanted to beat the fifth prince to death completely.
Although the old emperor gave the case to Lord Feng with full authority, he kept a close eye on it in private. After several rounds of verification, the old emperor finally believed that everything was an accident.
The gathering of candidates outside Gongyuan had nothing to do with Gu Qiancheng, nor did she spread the news of fraud. The only thing Gu Qiancheng did in the scientific examination fraud case was to leak the news that many people in Qi Mao were stupid.
Let a few Xiaoxiao know about it and induce them to steal Qi Mao's things.
What happened next was really a coincidence. The person who knocked down the thief was the waiter of the inn. He said that there was oil on the ground, so he slipped and accidentally caught the thief's baggage when he fell, which triggered what happened next.
.
As for taking the exam?
That was what a few military generals did. They pretended to be robbers and robbed the household registrations of several lone people, and used their identities to apply for exams. They bribed the invigilators and wrote the names of several young men in the family on the papers, so that they
You can be on the list.
They originally planned to kill all those people, but they didn't expect those people to be killed. They jumped into the river and survived, and managed to make it to the capital.
The old emperor knew everything about what happened after arriving in the capital. Speaking of which, it was really unexpected that Qin Jiyan encountered those few tricks, and what Qin Jiyan did later was right.
After Qin Jiyan learned the identities of those people, he immediately locked them up and sent people to check, but...
Before the results came out, King Zhao and King Zhou heard the news. These two people actually took advantage of the chaos and let these candidates escape, adding another fire to the scientific examination fraud case.
This is called the wall being pushed down by everyone, and the old emperor can't even get angry.
Does he want to blame Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan for being too aggressive, or blame the fifth prince for being too stupid?
Seeing what Lord Feng had presented, he had no choice but to say that the fifth prince was innocent in this matter.
Although Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were also targeting the fifth prince, they did not deliberately do anything to harm the fifth prince. Everything was done by the fifth prince himself.
As for King Zhao and King Zhou?
In the eyes of the old emperor, these two people were just causing trouble.
Seeing that King Zhao and King Zhou were eager to throw dirty water on the fifth prince and Qin Jiyan, the old emperor's dissatisfaction with Gu Qiancheng was transferred to them.
"Go and send someone to tell them that I am very unhappy."
If the emperor is unhappy, the consequences will be serious.
This shows how important it is to have your own people in key departments. If the leader of Jinyiwei hadn't been covering Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng all the way, based on what they did, they would have ended up worse than King Zhou and King Zhao.
It's going to be miserable.
After receiving the warning from the old emperor, King Zhao and King Zhou immediately calmed down and did not dare to mess up again.
Apart from pushing at the beginning, Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng made no other moves. They were completely letting things go and didn't care at all how things would turn out.
Without the people causing trouble, Master Feng handled the matter smoothly. The students did not dare to challenge the imperial court at all. They just wanted justice and a relatively fair examination environment. As long as the imperial court gave them a little bit, they would be satisfied.
Master Feng quickly calmed the students down. Then he dealt with those involved in the fraud case vigorously and resolutely. Master Kang was sentenced to beheading, and the officials who invigilated the exams also had their homes confiscated and exiled. All the students suspected of fraud were deprived of their status as examiners and were banned for three generations.
Participate in the imperial examination.
This kind of treatment is not unkind, but without being ruthless, it will be difficult to quell the resentment in the hearts of the people, and it will not make them feel grateful to the emperor.
Although the outbreak of the imperial examination fraud case made many students suspicious of the imperial court, because Master Feng handled it properly, many people were grateful for the imperial court's kindness and said that the emperor was a wise king but was deceived by treacherous ministers.
Seeing that the wind had turned, the old emperor couldn't help but feel a little better. Master Feng took the opportunity to ask the Holy One to invalidate the results of the scientific examination and reschedule the scientific examination.
More than half of the results of this scientific examination are fake. A re-examination is inevitable, but it is difficult to choose the examiner.
In the weight-lifting examination, if you don't choose an examiner who can convince all the students, you might cause trouble again, but...
