After having enough spiritual jade, Li Mu used the three days of rest he had saved to practice in seclusion at home.
At a certain moment, Li Mu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed to absorb the spiritual jade, suddenly opened his eyes.
He felt some subtle fluctuations in the formation outside.
Li Mu opened the door and saw Master Mei standing outside.
He asked in surprise: "Sister Mei, why are you here?"
Lord Mei asked straight to the point: "Are you behind the Baichuan Academy incident and adding fuel to the flames?"
Li Mu had been in seclusion for the past three days and still didn't know anything. He asked, "What happened at Baichuan Academy?"
Master Mei asked doubtfully: "It's really not you?"
Li Mudao: "Tell me first what happened."
Master Mei looked at him in surprise, and finally said: "After Jiang Zhe's case, in just three days, Baichuan Academy's reputation among the people plummeted. After the internal security investigation, it was discovered that someone was behind it to fan the flames and add fuel to the flames.
, isn’t it you?”
Li Mudao: "I have been in seclusion for the past three days, and this is the first time I have heard of this matter. Could it be that His Majesty sent someone to do it?"
Master Mei shook her head and said, "No."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who could that be?"
The entrance to Baichuan Academy is not on a busy main street, and not many people pass by on weekdays.
Since three days ago, there have been more passers-by passing by the entrance of the academy.
When the common people walked past the gate of Baichuan Academy, they all looked at the academy with disdain. Some even spat secretly while no one was paying attention, and then left quickly.
Li Mu and Master Mei stood in the distance, watching this scene from a distance.
The development of things was far beyond Li Mu's expectation.
The case committed by Jiang Zhe did not have any serious consequences. It should not have fermented so quickly. For it to develop into the current scene within three days, someone must be fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Under normal circumstances, the popularity of this kind of thing should decrease day by day. If this happens, someone must have bought the hot search.
Li Mu thought for a while and asked: "Could it be done by other academies or the New Party?"
Although Baichuan Academy did not explicitly support the old party, the students in the academy, most of whom were powerful people in the Zhou Dynasty, were inseparable from the old party.
The four major academies, with the exception of White Deer Academy, are all in a competitive relationship. After all, the number of vacant official positions in the imperial court is limited. If a certain academy has more places, other academies have fewer places. No one wants to be short of the one.
Own.
Baichuan Academy is close to the old party, and people from the Zhou family and other new parties are eager to catch them, and they have the most obvious motive for committing the crime.
Master Mei shook his head and said: "The people behind the scenes are very cautious. The internal guards cannot find the root cause. Even His Majesty's calculations with great supernatural powers cannot calculate the result."
She continued: "Baichuan Academy's act of protecting Jiang Zhe has aroused public resentment in the capital city. Today's morning meeting, several censors joined many courtiers to impeach the Ministry of Justice and the Academy. Your Majesty has ordered the Censor's Office to investigate the case again.
"
No matter who is behind it, Li Mu will give him a thumbs up.
It seems that someone has thought of going with him. Instead of doing it secretly, it is better to let them bite the dog, which will save Her Majesty the Queen a lot of things.
Master Mei shook her head and said, "I almost forgot, I'm looking for you today because there is another important thing."
She took out a silver waist badge from her arms, handed it to him, and said, "From today on, you will be a member of the inner guard."
Li Mu looked at the waistband with his name engraved on it and was overjoyed.
After being here for so long and worrying so much about the Queen, he finally managed to sneak into the inner guard. The inner guard is the Queen's direct guard and is only responsible to the Queen. This means that he is closer to that thigh.
step.
Master Mei continued: "Besides the internal guard, you also have a new job."
Li Mu asked: "What's the errand?"
Master Mei said: "His Majesty has asked you to serve as the imperial censor in the palace, and to inspect all the officials during the morning dynasty."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't you need to be from an academy to be an official?"
Master Mei explained: "Officials of the Yushitai are selected by the imperial court from various counties who are not afraid of power and are upright and upright. In order to prevent the Yushitai from forming cliques for personal gain, no officials of the Yushitai can come from academies."
Compared with the ability to govern the country, the court valued more the character of the censor. The cleaner the family background, the more upright temperament, those who dare to speak that other officials dare not speak, and those who dare to scold other officials who dare not scold, the more suitable they are.
Censor.
The imperial censor in the palace, as the name suggests, is the censor who works on errands in the golden palace.
Their job is to observe whether the officials are disheveled, lazy, sleepy or other rude behaviors during the morning court. In addition, they also have the right to express some of their own opinions on court affairs, as long as they can be ranked in the court
Officials, regardless of their rank, have the right to discuss court affairs.
Becoming a royal censor in the palace had minimal impact on Li Mu's current life.
He was also the chief catcher of Shendu Yamen, but every time he went to court, he had to appear in the hall and stand in the corner of the hall to observe secretly.
Li Mu was a little confused and asked: "How come your Majesty suddenly asked me to be the censor?"
Master Mei said: "Because you are not afraid of the powerful, nor the academy, and dare to speak out and give advice. His Majesty needs you to speak out in court."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Understood."
Baichuan Academy.
An old man pointed at Vice President Chen and said angrily: "You are confused. In order to protect a guilty student and ruin the academy's century-old reputation, you have to apologize to all the sages of the academy..."
Vice President Chen also lowered his face and said: "This was just a small matter originally. It could not have developed to the point it is now. Someone must be behind it to add fuel to the fire."
The old man said angrily: "If you can do things impartially, how can you be caught?"
Vice President Chen said: "I want to know who is plotting against us. This matter was caused by Zhang Chun, the God of Gods. I have already investigated. Zhang Chun was a student of Wanjuan Academy. Could it be that this is Wanjuan Academy?"
A trap set for us?"
The old man said: "This matter is not important. For now, what is important is how to restore the reputation of the academy. Even the dean in seclusion was alarmed by this matter. The dean has already ordered Jiang Zhe to be expelled from the academy and cancel the
Fang Bo’s teaching qualifications are above those of the court, and no one is allowed to intercede for them..."
A look of regret appeared on Vice President Chen's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."
Ziwei Palace.
Three days ago, the imperial censor was ordered by the Queen to investigate Jiang Zhe's case.
After three days of inquiry and investigation by the Yushitai, the origin of the case was finally found out.
When Jiang Zhe was listening to music at Miaoyinfang, he became lustful towards the beautiful musician in the Accord and wanted to violate her.
The musician from Miaoyinfang couldn't bear the humiliation and shouted for help. Finally, he alerted the other musicians, broke into the room, and stopped Jiang Zhe. It was not as Jiang Zhe said that he repented on his own in the process of violating the musician.
The reason why the Ministry of Punishment misjudged Jiang Zhe was that when Jiang Zhe was being tried by the Ministry of Punishment, he was carrying a magic weapon given to him by his master Fang Bo. This magic weapon could keep him awake while being possessed, thus misleading the officials of the Ministry of Punishment in judging the case.
.
In view of the fact that after Jiang Zhe committed the crime, he refused to confess and misled the Ministry of Punishment, which resulted in a wrongful conviction of the case and had an extremely bad impact in Shendu. Jiang Zhe was severely punished in accordance with the law and was sentenced to ten years in prison, with all his abilities revoked.
Also, never hire.
Behind the curtain, the empress asked Vice President Chen coldly: "Does Baichuan Academy have any objections to this?"
Vice President Chen lowered his head and said: "Fang Bo and Jiang Zhe's masters and apprentices deceived the court and deceived the academy. Baichuan Academy has expelled Jiang Zhe from the academy and canceled Fang Bo's qualification to teach in the academy. Yushitai has sentenced him in accordance with the law, and the academy has no objection.
"
The Queen said in a majestic voice: "The Jiang Zhe incident has had a bad impact, and the academy cannot escape the blame. This year, the quota for Baichuan Academy students to become officials has been reduced by half."
Vice President Chen's lips moved, but in the end he did not speak.
Such a scandal happened in the academy, and he didn't have the face to refute it at this moment.
