Chapter 1534 Well written!

After drawing up a report on the investigation results and preparing various auxiliary materials, including the testimonies signed and pledged by Wu Jichuan, Xu Shilian, and a group of invigilators and examiners, Liu Yang went to the The face of Chongzheng Hall.

It was getting late, twilight was falling, and the gentle breeze blew away the traces of inflammation already permeating the capital, but it couldn't blow away the lingering melancholy in Liu Yang's heart.

He is still pondering, although the matter has been clarified, there are no obstacles and twists and turns, and the result is favorable, but there is always a shadow in his heart.

Even if it can prove Li Fang's innocence and the court's fairness in selecting scholars, the impact that has already been caused cannot be easily eliminated.Even the faster the investigation, it will give people a sense of haste and deepen the most instinctive doubts of human nature.

Being involved in this turmoil and getting involved in this layer of trouble, no matter what the facts are, Li Fang has been deeply affected and his reputation has been damaged. I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of it in a short time in the future, and he will be questioned and criticized by others for a long time.

This is also the reason why Liu Yang's heart is still heavy after finding out the facts. Sometimes, the facts and the truth are really unimportant, or even meaningless. There are too many people who are only willing to believe the truth they expect.

Of course, what really made Liu Yang feel unhappy was that there was a vague fog surrounding the incident, and it had to be the suspicion that floated in his mind from the very beginning, and who was behind it.

After learning about Xu Shilian's situation, Liu Yang thought about it. This turmoil was just an accident and coincidence, and no one interfered with it.

However, when I was writing the report, I thought about it, maybe it was Xu Shilian's temperament that was easy to use, easy to provoke, and the possibility of showing his feet was still small.Starting from this line of thought, everything still makes sense.

Although he was biased in thinking about the matter, and wanted to explore it clearly, Liu Yang also knew that this matter should stop here, at least on the surface.The longer it drags on, the more bad influence it will have on Li Fang, the imperial examination, and the court will only spread.

Inside the Chongzheng Hall, the bright lights and rustic decoration together create a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.After returning from Mount Tai, Emperor Liu issued an order to remove all the luxurious and flashy decorations around him.

In addition, Daozhou, the locality of the Ming Dynasty, prohibited the collection of tributes except salt, tea, sugar, wine, porcelain and other daily imperial items, and asked the Shaofu to draw up a list of tributes, delineating a scope and standards.

After a period of confusion, Emperor Liu may still have not found the goal and pursuit that allowed him to reappear his passion, but he still tried to move closer to the past in terms of life style, and retrieve the things that he insisted on for many years but gradually forgotten in the past ten years. .

Moreover, it was truly achieved, even Yu Ruyi, which was often used to tickle itches, was replaced with wooden ones, although it was not ordinary wood.

Now, besides the robes on Emperor Liu's body, they are made of silk, and the jade ring on his thumb and the jade ornaments on his waist look more expensive.

When Liu Yang arrived, Emperor Liu had just finished his meal, and was leisurely listening to Xiao Zhou's singing and sipping fine wine.This is the royal brew contributed by Zhang Ji, the transshipment envoy of Hedong. It is said that it is a batch of Fen wine that was brewed and sealed up during the founding of the country.

Coincidentally or not, Emperor Liu still didn't say much just because of the implication.Even the name Zhang Ji entered his field of vision again, and the somewhat vague impression became clear.

As Tanhua back then, he also had a chance encounter with Emperor Liu among the people. Zhang Ji's official career went relatively smoothly.After working as Emperor Liu's secretary for a while, after Qianyou's Northern Expedition, he was sent to Yunzhong County to rebuild Yunzhong under Song Qi's leadership.

Later, Song Qi was transferred to the central hub to pay homage to the prime minister, and Zhang Ji also made him know Yunzhou from Yunzhong.The establishment of the transshipment envoys of the Han Dynasty did not follow the principle of setting up one area, for example, the Jiannan transshipment envoy, at the beginning of its establishment, the scope of authority was in the three provinces of Sichuan and Shu, and now, it includes the entire five southwestern provinces.

The Hedong Transshipment Envoy is also similar, in charge of Hedong and Shanyang, and manages the most important economic exchange channel between the capital and Monan.

In the power setting of the Han Dynasty today, the authority of the transfer envoy is getting heavier and heavier, which represents the imperial court's influence and control over local financial power, and is also one of the prominent measures of centralization.

As far as Zhang Ji is concerned, the Taoist official who is less than 40 years old is very extraordinary, and there is a lot of room for improvement.And when he reached this position, Zhang Ji's instinct to pursue his own interests began to take hold. Of course, he didn't easily move closer to power in the court. After all, he was a person who went out from Emperor Liu's side, and filial piety to please Emperor Liu was the most important thing.

After all, the transfer and promotion of Daosi-level ministers, although the dignitaries in the court (mainly Zhao Pu) have a certain right to speak, they all have to go through Emperor Liu in the end.

Xiao Zhou is not as talented and versatile as her sister, but Zhou Zong cultivated a daughter with high basic qualities, and Xiao Zhou's advantage is that she is young and she is more able to please Emperor Liu.

After being notified, Liu Yang entered the room, and the melodious voice between the beams of the palace stopped. Facing the prince, Xiao Zhou Yingying saluted, and retreated gracefully after receiving Emperor Liu's approval.

Liu Yang looked at Xiao Zhou one more time, and sighed in his heart, the most favored person in the harem now is probably Concubine Zhou Yi.You can get a glimpse of it from the frequency of driving with the king's companion recently.

Emperor Liu still had a calm face, and the "Dengwen case" that caused a sensation in the government and the public these two days didn't seem to affect his leisure at all.

Liu Yang calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "About Lu Shilian's report, Erhui's colleagues have come to a conclusion after careful investigation!"

"Sit down!" Emperor Liu said softly, took the stack of memorial papers presented by Liu Yang without looking at them, asked Yan Tuo to pour him wine, and said, "Have a drink with me!"

This really refers to two sips, the aroma of the wine is overflowing, and the smell can be intoxicating, not to mention that after entering the mouth, Emperor Liu dared to lick it with his tongue, the one or two liang in the cup is still more than half full.

"When this wine was brewed and sealed, you hadn't been born yet, and your mother hadn't even married me! Try it, this Fen wine, which is the same age as the big man, is the taste of my hometown to me!" Liu said. The emperor's eyes were full of reminiscence.

"Yes!" Emperor Liu invited, Liu Yang dared not refuse, respectfully.He took a small sip, and almost coughed up his throat, but in order not to lose his manners, he forcibly held back, his face flushed red.

"Don't hold it back, it's so hard, it's not worth it if you damage your body!" Seeing this, Emperor Liu smiled and expressed his concern.

Liu Yang just coughed out, coughed a few times, and sprayed a mouthful of foam. Instead of reducing the rosiness on his face, it became more intense, and the sweat oozes out. Slow down.

"I'm so disrespectful! This nearly 30 years old wine is amazing!" Liu Yang said awkwardly.

"It's because you drank too fast!" Emperor Liu shook his head.

After all, the attention was not on the wine, and he picked up Liu Yang's memorial and read it. Emperor Liu asked casually: "What is the result of the investigation? What conclusions have you drawn?"

Quickly stabilized his mind, Liu Yang stood up, and solemnly said with a cautious attitude: "The examination process of this subject is all in accordance with the rules and regulations, and there is no violation of rules and regulations. We are fair, and Mr. Li has not cheated!"

"Oh?" Emperor Liu seemed surprised: "If that's the case, then why is Xu Shilian so passionate?"

Liu Yang: "According to my observations, Xu Shilian is conceited of his talents and proud of his talents. His articles were not taken by the examiners, and he feels dissatisfied. It is due to Wu Jichuan's relationship with Li Gong from his hometown. Let him criticize him!"

Glancing at Liu Yang, Emperor Liu said leisurely: "I thought it would take some time to get the results of the investigation, but I never thought it would be so fast, it's very efficient!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang's expression became extraordinarily serious, and he bowed and said, "At the beginning, I also thought this matter was complicated, but the truth is really simple and clear!"

Emperor Liu remained silent, and immersed himself in reading the memorials.

"There are similarities and differences in the results of the second review, which is normal!" Liu Yang simply explained the results of the second review: "After the review by the two groups of officials, Xu Shilian was not among the candidates. It can be seen from this that his so-called injustice and fraud do not exist, but are just too frustrated and angry!"

Emperor Liu finally nodded and raised his eyes: "However, I also received this Xu Shilian, judging from his performance, there are also remarkable points, but on paper, it is so unbearable, it is difficult to get into the eyes of the examiners? "

Liu Yang: "My son also personally asked Xu Shilian. He is indeed quite eloquent and knowledgeable. It's just that he is too arrogant, and there are no omissions in his answers to the various examination questions of Jinshi. Extremist, narrow-minded, rejected by the reviewers! On the contrary, Wu Jichuan, who was questioned by him, his article knowledge is pertinent and down-to-earth, and there are no strange theories!"

"Heh!" Emperor Liu smiled: "Xu Shilian's strategy is among them, I want to see it!"

"Here!" Liu Yang stepped forward to help Emperor Liu pick out the policy paper that had been read and wrinkled from the pile of newspapers.

"It's well written!" When I first read it, Emperor Liu's evaluation was just like Liu Yang's.
