Although Bai Xiaoshan is young and will not be able to be an official for a while, it is beneficial to him to know some things in the officialdom in advance, and he also knows how to avoid trouble.
Mr. Bai Xiaoshan is very fond of him and hopes that he will get better and better.
Bai Ling nodded lightly, it was good for Bai Xiaoshan to have his own opinions.
In fact, Bai Ling is also a bit conflicted. Although public confession has certain benefits for Bai Xiaoshan, it will also offend many people and give him a reputation for not being flexible.
"Xiaoshan, don't you think about it again?" Liu Zhenyou asked while feeling pleased.
"Grandpa, I know what I am doing. Any fraud in the imperial examination will be implicated in a wide range of things. If I come forward, at least I will have the reputation of being a son of an official family, and the Bai family has a good reputation in Zixiao City and even the Eastern Han Dynasty, sister.
My status as princess can also protect me.
But if you go to sue the official, it means that your sister wants to protect you, but after all, you are a maternal family, so there will be less scruples after all. And if I do this in private, the examiner will only think that I value brotherhood.
I still know the general outline, maybe my good reputation can be spread to the imperial court, which is a good thing for me."
Bai Xiaoshan analyzed calmly without any fear.
Except for Liu Zhenyou, an old scholar who had been exposed to some matters related to the official family, others had only heard about it in plays and did not understand the pros and cons.
But both Liu Zhenyou and Bai Xiaoshan said so, and Bai Ling also suggested it first, which shows that it is feasible.
So the next day, Bai Xiaoshan went to the college, picked up Liu Xusheng, who was completely unaware, and went to the examiner to express his love.
Haitang has already investigated and has evidence in hand that can be presented at any time.
Before the matter on Liu Xusheng's side could come to an end, the people from the capital who came to deliver the message quickly arrived.
Because he knew that the Bai family had a house in Fucheng, and had the lesson of the person who announced the order, the general who announced the order first went to Fucheng to see if Bai Ling was there, so as not to make a mistake and delay the treatment of the princess.
When the porter replied that Bai Ling was at the house, the general didn't even get off his horse and shouted loudly: "Please hurry up, Princess Jixiang, and follow me on your journey. Your Majesty has ordered that Princess Jixiang come to Beijing immediately!"
The concierge was so frightened that his jaw dropped. He glanced at the imperial guard's token in the opponent's hand and hurriedly sent someone in to report the news.
Bai Ling had just received Shangguan Yu's letter not long ago, and was just waiting for Liu Xusheng's matter to come to an end before telling his family.
But Bai Xiaoshan and the others haven't come back yet, and people from the capital have already arrived, which shows how anxious they are.
After shooing away the servants, Bai Ling said: "The princess is unconscious. The emperor asked me to go to the palace for diagnosis and treatment. I won't stay too long in the capital this time.
If my younger brother decides to go to Beijing to take the exam, and my parents ask someone to send me a message first, I will wait for my younger brother in the capital and accompany him until the end of spring. I will come back within a month at most if I don't receive a letter from home."
Bai Ling knew about Princess Yayang's situation, so he was not in a hurry, but it made the whole family nervous.
"Treat the princess? What if the treatment cannot be cured? In the play, it is..." Before Bai Liu could finish her words, Mrs. Liu covered her mouth.
"The child hasn't even gone out yet, and you are saying such unlucky things. Are you such a mother-in-law?" Mrs. Liu glared at Mrs. Bai Liu, feeling equally worried.
"Mom, don't be afraid. My second sister is very powerful. It's not the first time I've treated a princess. It'll be fine." Bai Wei was so worried that she spilled the beans.
He glared at Bai Wei fiercely, and when he saw her cover her mouth after realizing it, she had no choice but to do so.
"Don't spread the news about the royal family. Everyone will think that I am just going to the capital to do business. You must not tell others. Otherwise, even if I save the princess, I will not be able to pay for our family's sins."
Bai Ling warned his family, and after getting their approval, he got up and packed his bags.
There is everything in space, but if you are born alone, you have to do some superficial work.
Because she had to hurry, even if Bai Liu wanted to bring more things to Bai Ling, she could only give up.
In the end, I saw Bai Ling carrying a simple bag and not even being able to ride in the carriage, so he went on the road with the Imperial Guards. I was so distressed that I wiped away tears.
"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let the second girl learn medical skills in the first place. Not to mention the suffering she suffered every day, she was still worried." Mrs. Bai Liu kept Bai Ling's words in mind and did not dare to mention the royal family.
"Girl will not do anything that you are not sure about, so you should be at ease. It is a good thing that Xu Sheng can get his fame back. You should also be happy. We have to hold a flowing banquet when we return to the village. Don't make your parents feel uncomfortable following us.
." Bai Sanshu comforted in a low voice.
"Well, don't I feel sorry for my daughter?" Bai Liu said, sniffing and said: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten that the boy in the family has become successful, so it is time to have a good banquet. This time we are going to the big house.
Well done, I’m finally proud of myself.”
"I see that Xiaoshan is paying attention. Most likely he is going to Beijing, so he needs to prepare things quickly. It will save him trouble on the road. You also need to go to the escort agency to inquire, but you can't let Xiaoshan go out alone.
We can’t follow you as far away as you want.”
"I still need to pack some things for the second girl. Everything is fine over there in the capital, but this girl knows how to take care of her family. I'm afraid she won't remember to buy something for herself. She's such a troublesome girl."
"Oh, by the way, if Xu Sheng gets his honor back, he can go to Beijing, right? I'll ask my parents later what they mean. If we just prepare together for going to Beijing..."
Bai Liushi talked nonchalantly, but she didn't have time to feel sorry for Bai Ling.
Bai Wei stood at the gate, even the dust from the horses had settled, but she kept looking in the direction Bai Ling left.
He was there in the capital, but she couldn't go there...
Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng stayed with the examiner for three days. During this period, they did not send any letters to their families, which made their families worried.
However, with Haitang here, she could come back every day to report on the situation of the two of them, so the family could stay stable.
Because of the fraud, the original banquet was also postponed, but there was no news about it.
This time, the examiner not only wanted to conduct a thorough investigation, but also rushed to deliver the memorial to Beijing.
It concerns the future disciples of the emperor. The examiner dare not neglect it, and the prefect is even more concerned about the lawsuit.
His previous political performance was good, but once the fraud case came out, no matter how well he solved it, he would not be able to get promoted this time. It would be better if he would not be demoted.
Therefore, the prefect also paid special attention to this matter. Not only did he strictly investigate the case of Liu Xusheng being impostered, he also investigated other students, for fear that there might be something fishy.
As for the deputy examiner who was the cashier, he was immediately thrown into prison, and he was found guilty of many things that the prefect did not dare to try again.
For a time, people in the city were panicked, especially the students, who were afraid that they would be implicated.
And people who have a guilty conscience are even more afraid that they will be the next unlucky ones.
When the emperor saw the memorial, he was so angry that he overturned all the imperial papers.
"Let me investigate thoroughly. If the prefect cannot investigate, he will send an imperial envoy! You dare to cheat in the imperial examination. Do you think I am old and easy to fool? If the decree continues, this imperial examination will be invalidated nationwide. Every place will strictly investigate and deal with it. Once found out,
If there is any problem, I will deal with it strictly! The scholar who was replaced will retain his scholar quota according to the original ranking, and the rest will all take the exam again!"
The emperor was so angry that he could not speak coherently.
But the emperor was so angry that his corpse was thrown away thousands of miles away, let alone a major matter such as fraud in the imperial examination, this matter must not be rectified. (To be continued)
