After Xiong Yushi finished reading, Wang Xiancai said in a deep voice: "You may only know that my surname is Wang. Let me introduce myself. I am Wang Xian, and I will be the governor of Fusi Town in Beizhen."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who were a little restless due to excitement fell into silence. They never expected that this young man was actually the boss of Beizhen Fusi. No wonder he was so cunning and ruthless. The soldiers were awe-inspiring.
, the look in Wang Xian’s eyes became full of fear.
"So you don't have to worry about my determination. The purpose of the emperor's admission of scholars is to select people with real talents and practical knowledge for the imperial court. It is definitely not to open the door for fraudsters." Wang Xian continued in a serious tone: "So you
Don’t neglect your duties and detect a few cheating candidates. I will reward you with a certain amount of money. Don’t worry about defaulting. If you neglect your duties and do not find the cheaters, once they are discovered by the people behind the inspection, you will be punished.
Wait until you leave the Gongyuan at 20, and then go to Beizhen Fusi to receive your sentence."
"Here..." everyone responded in fear.
"Don't blame me for being too strict," Wang Xian sighed: "According to regulations, if a candidate is found to have entered the examination room with a written document, then the officials and soldiers responsible for the inspection will be punished." As he said,
His eyes ruthlessly swept through the crowd, and a few cold words came out from between his teeth: "If anyone harms me, I will kill him, do you understand?"
"I understand..." the soldiers said in fear.
"I didn't hear it" Wang Xian shouted violently.
"I understand," the soldiers hurriedly raised their voices and shouted hoarsely.
"Go ahead." Wang Xian then waved his hand and asked them to go down and follow Chen Laoliu to learn how to search and find out the entrapments hidden in various items.
After all the soldiers left, Wang Xian looked at the somewhat dull Xiong Yushi next to him, and said with a slightly calm expression: "I'm sorry, you have to talk to this bunch of Qiu Ba like this, and it has ruined Brother Yuanjie's hearing and hearing."
"What the hell." The Xiong Yushi hurriedly waved his hands and gulped, "I just really didn't expect that your Excellency would have to tighten things up this time..."
"Haha, Brother Yuanjie, are you blaming me for not looking at him to say hello?" Wang Xian smiled, his candid eyes looking straight into Xiong Gai's heart.
"Where is it?" Xiong Gai felt that he had nowhere to escape under Wang Xian's gaze. "My lord is also kind-hearted."
"That's true." Wang Xian nodded and said with a smile, "One person is responsible for the work, so don't get involved in this matter."
"Since I am your lieutenant, I will naturally shoulder the responsibility together." Xiong Gai is the Yushi Yanguan. Seeing Wang Xian say this, he couldn't help but blush and said, "I just didn't know what your lord would do, so I would inform the examiner in advance."
Are you an adult?" The examiner for this year's examination is Liang Qian, a native of Taihe, Jiangxi, and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. After Xie Jin's accident, he took over as the president of "Yongle Dadian" and was regarded as the second-largest figure in the Jiangxi Party after Hu Guang.
Xiong Gai was from Jishui, Jiangxi. Although he was an upright official, he was not exempt from vulgarity. As a member of the Jiangxi Gang, he naturally could not refuse to report what he knew. However, he was still very kind and did not want to report Wang Xian without telling Wang Xian.
"We haven't." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Brother Yuanjie can go and report on your behalf."
"It's better for you, sir, to report it yourself." Xiong Gai said softly, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me in person."
"That's fine." Wang Xian nodded and went to the court.
"I'm afraid what Mr. Wang said is inconsistent with Taizu's motto of being kind to his sons." Wang Xian knew that if Xiong Gaifan said that, he would not be able to kill Xiong Gaifan first and then report it. It would be difficult for Xiong Yushi to be caught in the middle.
As a human being, it is better to explain things clearly to the examiner yourself. As expected, the examiner was not interested in Wang Xian's rules, but he still gave him some face and was polite.
"The reason why Emperor Taizu said he should treat his sons leniently is because they are well-informed, sensible and honest, and will not cheat," Wang Xian replied: "However, times have changed, and the world has declined, and the lower officials have long heard about it.
The current move is quite taking advantage of the opportunity, which betrays Emperor Taizu's good intentions." He said with a straight face: "I think that in order to set the record straight and convince people's hearts, we should seriously examine the discipline and conduct a thorough investigation. If
Sure enough, no one was involved, so it means that my Ming Dynasty's move really lived up to Emperor Taizu's expectations." He paused again and said: "Besides, before the exam came, the Holy Father reminded us that our invigilation officials must not only not bend the law themselves, but also
A sharp eye will not let those who engage in corruption for personal gain get away with it. The lower officials also believe that when the state recruits scholars, it is actually to select officials who are the emperor's herdsmen. To be an official, you must first be moral. The greater the ability of an official with bad morals, the greater the harm.
When we crack down on cheaters, isn't it just to keep those with bad morals out of the examination room and to allow upright and innocent candidates to have a fair chance of success?"
Wang Xianhao had a long speech, not to mention how Mr. Liang was doing in the examination, he himself was blushing, God, wasn't I just doing something wrong? Wasn't he scolding himself? And he scolded him so righteously?
Fortunately, Chief Liang thought that his blushing face was caused by excitement, so he did not think about it that way. Instead, he was secretly ashamed. He knew that what Wang Xian said was true. Ever since Emperor Taizu said that he should be lenient to the candidates, the imperial examinations have been very troublesome in the past years.
Opening the door of convenience can be said to be a mixed bag of mud and sand. Every time, I don’t know how many cheaters sneak into the examination room, and how many upright people with real talents and learning are squeezed out of the gold list by cheaters. This imperial examination really needs to be rectified.
when
However, Liang Qian did not want to be reorganized in this term, which would make him the target of public criticism. Moreover, as the protective umbrella of the Gan Party in this imperial examination, he had to support as many as fifty fellow villagers, although these people did not need to bring writings into the examination.
However, if you fail to protect yourself and become the target of public criticism, others will find fault with you.
The so-called righteous people should rectify themselves first. If you are not upright yourself, you naturally have no face to care about others. Since the late Hongwu period, when Jiangxi people took control of the imperial examination, they have been monopolizing resources. They have taken all the best rankings, so naturally they cannot care about others.
Others are doing small things. So speaking of it, these Jiangxi bosses cannot escape responsibility for the bad atmosphere in the examination hall. But then again, if it weren’t for the bad atmosphere in the examination hall and the cherished reputation of Jin Wen and others, they wouldn’t be able to escape the responsibility.
I will help Wang Xian run the rural examination. In fact, the imperial examination fraud is too common and sparse... Therefore, if Wang Xian wants to rectify the situation, he will definitely offend a large number of people.
Liang Qian is old and has witnessed what happened to his old boss Xie Jin. He has long been heartbroken about the emperor. Now he just wants to stand up for his job and send those Jiangxi graduates a ride.
He has completed his mission. After the imperial examination, he can return to the Hanlin Academy to compile books and compile history without worrying about his descendants... Because he is not fighting alone, he is a member of the Gan Party, and he has done his best
Obligation, his descendants will naturally have others to fulfill their obligations in the future...
So although he emotionally agreed with Wang Xian's statement, Liang Qian could not allow Wang Xian to act recklessly. After thinking about his words, he said to Wang Xian seriously: "What you said makes some sense, but have you thought about the consequences of doing so?"
"It's nothing more than a heinous reputation." Wang Xian said calmly. "The examiner is a famous official in the Qing Dynasty, so he naturally needs to estimate his reputation. But Xiaguan, the governor of Fusi, Beizhen, doesn't care about his reputation."
"This..." Liang Qian then remembered that this young prosecutor was also the emperor's trusted spy chief. Seeing Wang Xian's white teeth when he smiled, the examiner couldn't help but shudder. He suddenly thought, Wang Xian
Xian suddenly had a convulsion and insisted on investigating. Is he following the emperor's secret order? Even if he was not following the order, he could still make a drink for himself by reporting to the emperor from time to time. But after all, Chief Liang is weathered.
, calmed down and said: "This is not a matter of cherishing one's life, but no matter what you do, it is wrong. Do you think, if the results of the search show that there are only a very small number of people who carry writings, then you, the prosecutor, will be in trouble
You can’t afford the crime. To put it more seriously, you are despising Taizu and disobeying his instructions.”
Wang Xian knew what he was talking about, but unfortunately he was not scared. He sneered and said, "Do you think this is possible?"
"There may still be some." Liang Qian's confidence was seriously lacking.
"Well, as long as the chief examiner makes a written statement and says that if the cheat sheet text is found in the examination room, it will not be the responsibility of the inspection officials and soldiers. I will follow your instructions." Wang Xian also got a little angry. He started from the beginning.
I have been patiently explaining, but the man named Liang dared to tell lies with his eyes open. He was really drinking as a penalty if he refused to eat.
"How can you talk like that?" Liang Qian was also a little angry. "Has something happened? Can I, the examiner, escape responsibility?"
"I only care about myself and my subordinates, whether they will be held accountable." Wang Xian said expressionlessly. The implication was very hurtful, that is, how you, the examiner, are not in my consideration.
If he had been an ordinary prosecutor, Liang Qian would have had no choice but to show off his prestige as an examiner, scold him severely, and then tell him to get out of here as far as he could. But Wang Xian was the boss of Beizhen Fusi, and even more so
He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's number one confidant, so naturally he is not someone he can scold at will.
"Okay," Liang Qian secretly recited a piece of the Fudou Heart Sutra, calmed down the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "What if, I mean what if, a large number of cheats were found to be guilty of writing?"
"According to the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", go out of the field and inform the Ministry of Rites to cancel the qualifications of candidates." Wang Xian said calmly. Because those who are taking the exam are all candidates, they are already officials. Naturally, they cannot do it at will until the Ministry of Rites cancels their qualifications.
Punishment. But they were kicked out of Gongyuan for cheating, and no one could protect them. The Ministry of Rites would definitely cancel their qualifications, which meant that they would never have a chance to attend the imperial examination. For scholars who regard fame as their life, this is really worse than killing them.
They are also cruel.
"What if there are too many crimes?" Liang Qian asked.
"Find one, take out one" Wang Xian said with murderous intent: "Find one thousand, take out one thousand"
"What if the exam is delayed because of this?"
"One day is enough and it won't delay the start of the exam."
"What if there are not enough people to hold the exam?"
"If such a scandal really happens," Wang Xian sneered, "What else is there to take? Just report it directly to the emperor."
"This..." Seeing that Wang Xian was not someone he could deal with, he hit Tai Chi and said, "Since you insist, I, the examiner, can't say anything, but I still have to ask the chief supervisor for instructions on this matter."
"It's natural." Wang Xian responded softly, but sneered in his heart. How could he not see that the examiner was playing football, but he was also perfunctory. Anyway, he had already made up his mind, so he didn't
I will go to Ji Gang's place to find out if I am unhappy. After all, I will be the one to decide tomorrow's inspection. It would be best if someone comes to mess up the situation. It will mess up the job and I don't have to be in a dilemma.
