Chapter 917 Important matters must be reported secretly
"The city gate is on fire, which affects the fish in the pond!"
Su Ziji looked at the suicide note for a long time and sighed.
Xing Ye said in this letter that he had been living in poverty for ten years, and his family had endured hardships. Even his travel expenses were paid for by selling his land. However, due to a sudden change of thought, he not only spent all his money, but was also labeled as a fraud in the imperial examination and was cut off.
gained fame.
Not only was all the efforts of the family members in vain, but also everyone related to him was cheated.
In this case, how could he have the dignity to go back?
Go back, can't go back.
Stay, but you can’t stay at all.
The future is hopeless and gloomy.
Instead of continuing to linger, it is better to commit suicide so as not to become a shame and burden to the family after returning.
Every word is really tearful, and there are still some wrinkles on the letter paper, as if tears were shed while writing and the letter paper was wet.
After Su Ziji read this suicide note, he couldn't help but fell into silence.
Is Xing Ye unjustly accused?
To be honest, Xing Ye's fate was not unjust. After all, this was what the imperial law stipulated.
It is about the imperial examination and the fate of many people. If you want to get ahead, you have to squeeze out many people and walk on the single-plank bridge.
Those who have only seen the bridge have infinite scenery, but how many people have fallen off the bridge?
countless!
Under such circumstances, anyone who tries to cheat in the imperial examination will be severely punished. Even the person who cheated will have to be found out, and the examiner will be implicated. Only then can the candidates in the world accept their failure.
, accepting that he was deposed simply because of insufficient level, but questioning the court and justice.
This question is a denial of the imperial court.
Use important codes for important things!
Xing Ye was deprived of his fame due to fraud, and Wu Yan returned home to face his elders in his hometown, but who told him to cheat on the exam in the first place?
If I hadn't done this in the first place, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
But then again, if no one was so arrogant about selling test questions, and no one came up with real test questions to lure these candidates on a large scale, so many candidates would not be involved.
This thing itself shouldn't happen, it's not normal.
In the past, even if Xing Ye was not 100% sure about the imperial examination, he would never dare to hide something and bring it in.
Because people like Xing Ye have memorized everything in the books that they need to learn. It is not an exaggeration to say that it took ten years of hard study.
For many people who have reached the level of being elected, entrainment is basically useless. What they have to do is to "predict the questions" in advance and the examiner's preferences. They rush to read the examiner's previous articles to figure out the imperial court's meaning. They have to write some articles in advance. If they have enough
Give it time to polish it, and then gamble on the possibility of using these articles.
Most of the preparations that Juren makes are preparations like this.
Therefore, if no one leaks the questions, even if someone lies about some test questions, as long as it is not true and there is no real cheating, this matter will not have any negative impact.
Even if Xingye's happiness was all in vain, he could at least go back to his hometown and continue his work as a civil servant.
"It's really a disaster for Chi Yu." Su Ziji murmured, this was just a little aftermath of a confrontation between himself and the emperor.
One aftermath can change the fate of so many people.
As a person in a superior position, every move, or even just a moment's preference, may have a great impact if others figure it out.
It’s not like there’s a saying that goes up and works down.
Su Ziji thought again, Xing Ye is dead, but where are the others? Many candidates have been deprived of their honors. I don't know whether they went back in embarrassment or chose the same path as Xing Ye.
Even among the rich and powerful, there are some who are not immune, like Zhen Nan Bo, who is obviously a victim. The big demon replaced Zhen Nan Bo's crown prince and used the real crown prince as a servant. Zhen An Bo's family is really an innocent victim.
.
How can an ordinary person see through the demon's spell?
Moreover, the dignitaries in the capital also know to some extent that there are restrictions on big demons here, and it is impossible to think about it in this regard.
But the good title was still cut off due to the emperor's anger.
It can be seen that even the powerful cannot escape being a fish in the pond.
Su Ziji was just thinking deeply when suddenly there was a commotion outside. Then he came back to his senses and asked: "What's going on outside?"
The wild Taoist also looked outside, and a guard hurried in and reported to Su Ziji: "Your Highness, a man covered in blood came outside the inn, claiming to be Zhennan Bo's real heir apparent, and asking to see you!"
Su Ziji frowned slightly: "The real heir apparent of Zhennan Bo wants to see me?"
I just thought about Zhen Nanbo's family, but the real son of Zhen Nanbo suddenly came to find me, still like this. Is this another trick of the emperor?
Or is there a monster waiting for an opportunity to attack you?
Su Ziji let go of his consciousness and scanned it, frowned slightly, subconsciously touched his waist, and suddenly a trace of murderous intent rushed up from his eyebrows.
"There is evil spirit, but there are more than a dozen monsters lurking near the inn, but they have not come close yet."
"The majestic capital, the Dragon Qi Center, is actually a group of monsters dancing wildly!"
Although Su Ziji didn't know whether these monsters came after the person who claimed to be Zhen Anbo's real prince, or whether they came with the monsters to wait for an opportunity to attack him, he wanted to see this side.
Su Ziji sneered. In one thought, he recited the curse, then waved his hand and said, "Let him come over."
He did not leave the room. Although there was a dead man hanging next to him, it was quiet here. No one came to see the dead body and bring bad luck to it, so it was a good time to talk.
Soon, with the sound of footsteps, a person stumbled in from outside, indeed with blood stains. As soon as he saw Su Ziji, he took a look first, as if to confirm something, and then said with a sigh and knelt down: "Your Highness.
, the villain Xie Hongdao, I have something important to report to you in secret."
"Villain?" Su Ziji is a bit ridiculous. The dignified prince actually calls himself a villain?
However, this was a request to speak in secret. Seeing Yu Lu and Fang Xi trying to avoid him, Su Ziji stopped him and said, "Then go out and talk to Gu's carriage."
Since this person said this, he probably didn't want to discuss the matter in the inn.
Xie Hongdao in front of him nodded and followed Su Ziji out.
On the way out, Su Ziji attracted more attention than when he came in.
Su Ziji was wearing casual clothes. Many people did not know that this person was the grandson. However, those who followed Su Ziji and walked out had blood stains on their faces, hands and clothes. Whether it was a first glance or a closer look, it was clear that he was the grandson.
Enough to scare many people.
Another person had died, but now, everyone was running away in a hurry, fearful like a tiger or a leopard.
Su Ziji's eyes flashed, and he felt the monster staring at him and Xie Hongdao. His heart moved, and he began to believe it.
The monster's malicious eyes cannot hide itself.
"Are you being chased by monsters?"
Su Ziji couldn't help but look forward to it. Maybe this Xie Hongdao really had something useful for him?
