"Speak first." Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, when I was in custody yesterday, I discovered that the test questions given by Chief Liang were exactly the same as the words contained in the Jin Yiwei spies who turned into inspection soldiers." Ji Gang said calmly: "This means that the test questions were leaked in advance. In order to
In order to maintain the dignity of the imperial talent promotion ceremony, the minister had to seal off the examination room and conduct a new inspection. However, during the inspection process, his subordinates were blocked by the examiners led by Chief Examiner Liang. For unknown reasons, they did not allow the minister to
After conducting an inspection, Liang Qian ignored the strict examination discipline and sent Wang Xian to the Gongyuan, recruited reinforcements from Marquis Yangwu and others, attacked the Gongyuan, and turned the imperial examination center into a mess.
I don’t know how many people were injured in the conflict.”
"But I did not give in to them, and my subordinates withstood the pressure and persisted in completing the search," Ji Gang said righteously: "Sure enough, fifty-four candidates with hidden writings were found, and the cheat sheets contained three sentences.
Gun articles with the same title"
"Liang Qian, that bastard!" Zhu Di was furious and shouted angrily: "I'm going to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives." After a while, he said to Ji Gang: "Keep talking."
"Yes." Ji Gang said: "Then during the subsequent interrogation, I obtained such a confession from an examinee named Hu Zhong." He took out a confession from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor.
: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Huang took it, bowed and presented it to the emperor. Zhu Di read it quickly, his face several times uglier than before, he threw the confession at Hu Guang and cursed angrily: "It's true that a tiger father has no dog son."
Hu Guang's face turned pale with fright. He quickly picked up the confession and took a look at it. He was so stunned that he was speechless for a long time.
"You are inferior to a pig or a dog, and this is how you repay my trust?" Zhu Di angrily walked down the imperial steps and stared at Hu Guang, "You are so heartbroken that you will never be able to redeem yourself even if you die."
"Your Majesty..." After all, Mr. Hu Ge was an old fighter from the Jianwen Dynasty. He had rich combat experience. He was just shocked by his son's confession... He never expected that Hu Zhong would betray the test questions without telling him.
I have actually read through history books and never seen such deceptive stuff.
But at the moment of life and death, there was no room for any weakness in him. Mr. Hu Ge knew very well that there should be leniency for those who confess, jail time, and strictness for those who resist, and go home to celebrate the New Year. Of course, with an emperor like Zhu Di, he would not necessarily refuse to explain.
He can survive, but in order not to implicate more fellow Gan Party members, he must fight to the end
After gritting his teeth and biting the tip of his tongue, Hu Guang finally regained his consciousness and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it is clear that I am not strict in educating my children, but I have never allowed him to commit adultery, let alone reveal the test questions to him, not to mention that I am not
Examiner, I still don’t know what the exam questions for this subject are like.”
Zhu Di thought about it. Hu Guang didn't participate in the examination, so how could he know the test questions in advance? His face softened slightly and he said: "Then does your son have a deep hatred against you? Why did he frame you up?"
"Quuzi should have been forced." Hu Guang said hurriedly: "I just heard from Wang Zhenfu that he was brutally tortured in the Gongyuan to extract a confession. How could a weak scholar like Quanzi, who had no power to restrain a chicken, endure this?
live?
"Oh, really?" Zhu Di frowned, looked at Ji Gang and said, "Hu Zhong is also a civil servant, so how can he be tortured?"
"Based on what I saw, there should be no punishment. If I don't believe it, the emperor can order someone to examine the injuries." Ji Gang said calmly.
"Is that Wang Xian's nonsense?" Zhu Di looked at Wang Xian again and said.
"How dare you, a humble minister?" Wang Xian hurriedly straightened up and said, "At that time, Mr. Hu's screams spread throughout the Gongyuan, which was heard by everyone present." He paused and said, "As for what Governor Ji said about him.
The fact that he has no injuries does not mean that he was not tortured. At least I know that there are more than a dozen cruel punishment methods that will not cause trauma to the victim."
"Hmph, let's not talk about the bastards, let's talk about yourself first." Zhu Di snorted and said, "Why are you so crazy that you went to Yangwuhou's house to ask for help? Why don't you go back to the Zhenfu Division to deploy your own troops?
"
When Wang Xian heard what the emperor said, he knew that he had done the right thing... He was very satisfied with the fact that he did not mobilize the troops to suppress Fusi last night. Naturally, he rudely slapped his face on his face and said: "I ask the emperor to take back this
In a word, Beizhen Fusi and even Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are definitely not the private soldiers of any minister. Since I have been trusted by the emperor and is in charge of Beizhen Fusi, I can't live up to the emperor's trust. No matter what happens, no matter what happens,
I will never mobilize a single soldier when called upon to do so.”
These words naturally sounded harsh to Ji Gang, because he had long regarded Jinyiwei as his private property, so he hated Wang Xian so much for taking away Beizhen Fusi. But when the same words fell in Zhu Di's ears, he felt
It's like eating iced watermelon in the summer. It feels so refreshing. However, one of the basic requirements of being an emperor is to be indifferent to emotions and anger. Zhu Di still said with a cold face: "Wolves in the East Mountain eat people, and wolves in the West Mountain eat people.
If you go to Xue Lu's house to mobilize troops, you will be punished by death."
"Your Majesty." Wang Xian and Xue Lu had already discussed the words yesterday, and the responsibility for this time will be entirely borne by Mr.
But he was afraid that beating the drum would make the emperor passive, and he was at a loss for a while, so he walked to the door of Mr. Xue's house without realizing it. Thinking that this old man was well-informed, he wanted to ask him for advice. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xue suddenly
After listening to the discipline, the governor was trying to frame up the Gongyuan by taking advantage of the power. He immediately became furious and immediately gathered several servants and asked them to go to the Gongyuan with him to put out the fire... Time was tight at that time, so I didn’t think too much, so I rushed back to the Gongyuan so recklessly. Wei Chen
Knowing the crime, I beg the emperor to punish...
This rhetoric was not unfamiliar to the emperor, Xue Lu had already said it once before when he saw the emperor. Although transferring servants to the Gongyuan was a bit of a joke, it was not as taboo as mobilizing regular troops, and the emperor had already scolded Xue Lu before.
The emperor did not dwell on the matter anymore, but said with a dark face: "How to punish you will be discussed by the ministry. You just said that the reason why you went to the Gongyuan to ask for reinforcements was because Ji Gang used power to frame you and extorted a confession through torture? You don't
Don’t you know that if you frame Shangguan, your crime will be increased to third degree?”
"I will never dare to make false accusations. What I say is well-founded." Wang Xian hurriedly said loudly: "First of all, the appointment of the prosecutor is very strange. The conflict between me and Governor Ji is already known to everyone.
The governor is not a broad-minded person, but he strongly recommends me to take this good job, which makes people doubt his motives."
"It's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin. He doesn't know a good heart." Ji Gang said angrily: "I just want to ease the relationship with you, so I let you serve as the prosecutor. I wanted to have a good talk with you during the interview."
For example: "Have you forgotten that when you were being searched, Chief Liang wanted to expel you from Gongyuan? Who helped you get out of the siege?"
"Of course Mr. Ji, I have not forgotten it." Wang Xian said expressionlessly: "This is also the second point of doubt. Mr. Ji should have seen clearly how the officer conducted the inspection at that time. All the candidates were ordered to take off their clothes.
After taking off their belts, even their underwear and underwear were not allowed to be left behind. Moreover, the examination tools and items they carried were also dismantled and inspected. Although I dare not say that all the belongings were found, anyone who has seen the inspection process will
Then you will believe that the search has been too sufficient and there will never be any major omissions." He raised his voice and said: "However, Master Ji's men only took two sticks of incense to search five thousand candidates, and from them
Fifty smuggled candidates were found.”
"And the things that those candidates carry are not so hidden, but pocket books, waistcoats full of words, and paper balls hidden in the examination basket... These things are so conspicuous, I never believe that the inspection soldiers can't see them.
Because I personally put a reward on them, and I will reward them with five taels of silver if they find an entrapment. I believe that they will definitely stare at them, and there is no way they will miss such a conspicuous thing."
Zhu Di felt that what Wang Xian said was quite reasonable, so he turned to look at Ji Gang. Governor Ji sneered: "That's because you treat them differently. My informant in the inspection team said that for those from other provinces,
Candidates, it is true that you ordered people to carry out strict inspections, but you gave a little leniency to the cases in Zhejiang and Jiangxi." He gave Wang Xian a helpless look, and sneered: "Now Wang Zhenfu
Do you know why I was able to quickly find fifty candidates from five thousand exams? Because I searched for candidates based on their place of origin."
"Master Ji has made something out of nothing again. He dares to talk nonsense in front of the emperor all day long. Master Ji is not said to be unprecedented, but he is also unparalleled in the world." Wang Xian also sneered and said: "You might as well invite your informant out and ask him where I am.
When did you say such a thing to him? I dare to swear in front of the emperor that if I say it, I will be cut into pieces with a thousand knives, and my descendants will be slaves and prostitutes. How dare you, the governor?"
People in this era still attach great importance to oaths. Ji Gang couldn't help but change his face when he saw that this boy forced him to swear such a poisonous oath. However, in front of the emperor, he did not dare to hesitate, so he could only say in a low voice: "
I have a clear conscience, why don’t I dare?”
"Lord Ji, you are so brave, but I remind you, God is watching what you do. If you break your oath, God will punish you." Wang Xian laughed evilly, ignored the pale Ji Gang, and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, I definitely didn't say that.
If you ask your subordinates to be open to Zhejiang Jiangxi Juzi, not to mention that the day before he entered the Gongyuan, I had just had a conflict with Jiangxi Juzi, beat him up in the restaurant, and sent him to Yingtian Mansion Prison. If it weren't for
Governor Ji’s frame-up has sealed the relationship between me and Mr. Hu Ge. Why should I go easy on them? If I didn’t drive them all out of Gongyuan, I would have enforced the law impartially.”
"You were just putting on an act to cover up the secret relationship between the two of you," Ji Gang protested.
"That's just superfluous," Wang Xian glanced at Ji Gang coldly and said disdainfully, "I'm not that mentally retarded."
