fake prince

Chapter 320

In the eighth year of Yuanheng in the former dynasty, there was a fraud case in the examination room, and 17 people including the chief examiner were executed. Who is Xiao Congbo, a university scholar?

Not only was he from a great family, but he also had a half teacher's kindness with the emperor, but because he was involved in it, he was also taken to the execution ground and beheaded on the spot.

Compared with Xiao Congbo, although the three of them can be regarded as important ministers, they are far inferior in terms of power and influence.

People like that are implicated in a fraud case, and they can't die anymore. If they catch up with this matter, are they afraid that the whole family will be exiled thousands of miles away?

The three of them felt a chill in their hearts, and they quickly kowtowed: "The country pays attention to its talents, how dare the ministers forget righteousness for profit and play with their lives?"

"We must live up to the trust of the emperor, so that this test will go smoothly, and there will be no fraud."

The emperor nodded after hearing this: "My exhortations are for the righteousness of the whole monarch and ministers. When you are ruthless, it is called unpredictable!"

With a wave of his hand, there was a letter on the silver plate of the eunuch, which was sealed by a cover, and the jade seal on the seal could be seen on the seal. Looking at this, the examiner took it with both hands, and after he quit, he dared to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. They looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Although being able to preside over the examination means that his academic prestige has reached a certain level, it can also prove that he is a noble civil servant, and at the end of the day, he can even form a good relationship with a Jinshi of one subject.

But the risks involved are not small.

"It's our time." Yu Qianzhi and the three of them knew each other, and nodded to each other outside the hall, but no one spoke. Say.

Liu Tan also sighed, what can I do, let's go in and admit my mistake, when the little eunuch came out and invited them in.

Both of them were slightly troubled in their hearts. After entering, they immediately apologized.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

"The minister is guilty."

"What crime are you waiting for?" The emperor sat behind the case and asked calmly, neither happy nor angry.

Hearing this tone, Yu Qian knew that the emperor was probably busy with the examination just now and didn't know about the appearance of the demon.

It's just that they failed once before, and after that time, the emperor was a little dissatisfied with them.

But this time, he still didn't dare to hide it, so he could only lower his head and tell the emperor about the monster appearing again and using a medium to cast spells.

"...Although I kept the monster's aura firmly in mind, I searched for it several times, but I still haven't caught it..."

"inability!"

The emperor's face turned red, and he was suddenly furious. He swept off the papers on the case in front of him with one sleeve, and raised his voice: "The demon has disappeared, so it's fine if you can't find it. Now it shows up repeatedly in the capital, but you haven't caught it yet!"

The booklets were scattered all over the place, the emperor stood up abruptly, wandered back and forth in a panic, and glared at the two of them, so angry that he lost his composure, and roared: "Everyone is usually a master, I see you are being played around by a monster!"

"How can you repay me for the emperor's favor?"

"Other things can be let go, this matter must be caught, this is the chief culprit who framed the prince!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor gasped for breath, and slapped the table hard again: "Never be lighthearted!"

It can be seen that he hates it ruthlessly.

When the emperor roared, although the two people below were all righteous men, their faces were white and their hearts trembled, they lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and did not speak.

When the emperor woke up from the rage, he suddenly felt his body go limp, and he slumped down on the chair, moaning: "My head hurts so much."

"Your Majesty!" All the eunuchs surrounded him with a "huh" in shock, only Eunuch Zhao immediately took out the crystal bottle from his arms, took a sip of the medicinal wine, and fed it to the emperor.

The emperor took a sip, and after about a moment, he gradually regained his composure, took a heavy breath, looked haggard and tired, as if he had aged ten years, and said: "I am old... old..."

Looking at the two of them again, he asked: "Leave aside the matter just now, you can all look at the photos, come on, raise your heads and see how many days I have left."

"You have to tell the truth, I don't blame you."

Both Liu Zhan and Yu Qianzhi were ordered to raise their heads, and their gazes fell on the emperor's face. Liu Zhan was serious and said, "Your Majesty is ordered by the heavens. How can I spy on you?"

Yu Qianzhi also agreed: "What Master Liu said is true. Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven, not an ordinary man. How can you use the physiognomy of ordinary people to observe your majesty's fate? This real dragon spirit can not only deter evil spirits, but also Disturbing the calculation of physiognomy, it is not that the ministers dare not, but the ministers cannot."

"You... cowardly and fearful..." The emperor waved his hands in disappointment: "Forget it, since you can't see it, then forget it, you guys just step back first."

"I'm waiting to leave." The two said in unison.

Seeing that the two had retreated, the hall was quiet, even though there were court ladies and eunuchs, they stood silently in the dark as if they didn't exist.

The emperor couldn't help but sighed: "If Huaihui was here, he wouldn't be perfunctory to me."

So he died, and you personally bestowed him with death.

Liu Zhan and Yu Qianzhi, who had excellent ears, heard this sound outside the main hall. They looked at each other and saw sarcasm in their eyes, and then left without looking back.

Huaihui, calling her so close, was she given to death by a cup of poisoned wine?

And this Master Xiao Huaihui knew that the wine given to him was poisonous wine, but he had no choice but to drink it.

This is really sad!

Even Liu Zhan, who is usually loyal, does not want to be the second Xiao Huaihui. Xiao Huaihui was born in Tongshan Temple, and actually has some connections with Liu Zhan.

In terms of talent for insight into the secrets of heaven, Liu Zhan is far inferior to this Taoist brother.

Also because of Xiao Huaihui's sudden death, the Tongshan Temple lineage has been severely hit. 17 years have passed, and Tongshan Temple has not relieved this tone until now. Begging to be a slave is not available.

Now the emperor sighs like this!

It wasn't until they left the palace gate that the two breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the palace gate, and met their eyes.

Yu Qianzhi stretched out a hand and shook it lightly.

Liu Zhan made a comparison of six.

Come on, it's not five years, it's six years, and this is the last time.

The two of them are like students who have checked the answers after an exam and found that they are not too different from what they calculated, and each has a lot of preoccupations.

"Hey, once you enter the Hou's gate, it's as deep as the sea, it's not suitable for you and me, but it's just right for you to enter the palace gate as deep as the sea."

"Tell me, inside, if the emperor orders you and me to be taken down, how many guards will you need?"

"Guards? Hmph, if you're inside, I think the eunuchs present might be able to take down you and me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, turned and left separately, and in the hall, Eunuch Zhao came out again quietly, without making a sound, just standing on one side with his head bowed.

The emperor on the dragon chair, at the moment, looked as if his face was sinking like water, he was not furious, and even faintly depressed, but Eunuch Zhao was familiar with the emperor, so he couldn't tell that at this moment, the emperor was in no worse mood than just now. how much better.
