After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 359
The first fraud case in the implementation of the imperial examination involved not only this batch of examinees, but also the previous batch of officials who were already officials. Seeing that the investigation continues like this, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court and everyone is in danger .

Some people even took the opportunity to be a demon, in order to get rid of the crime and make a profit, and made the water more and more muddy. Emperor Youning had no choice but to stop and no longer investigate. There are five prefects, more than ten local officials, more than ten officials in the middle of Beijing, and hundreds of famous people!

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

At this court meeting, Emperor Youning was so angry that he couldn't sit still. He walked back and forth on the Danji, scolding the courtiers, so that the ministers fell to the ground and dared not get up. On the chair, holding the armrest with one hand, with a cold expression.

First there was the tomb robbery case, and now there is the fraud case. The gap between the two is less than half a year, and they are undoubtedly questioning his ignorance.

When everyone was silent, Xue Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up: "Your Majesty, the case of fraud in the imperial examination dates back to three years ago. I searched the files last night and found that most of these people are students of Mr. Gu."

Xue Yu's words were very tactful, but everyone present understood his intention to pour dirty water on the dead.

It has only been less than a year since the Gu family fell. Before that, everyone knew how powerful the Gu family was.When the Gu family was at its most prosperous, the three provinces directly emptied the imperial power, and there were indeed many people involved in the case who had contacts with the Gu family, so it was most suitable to find Gu Zhao as a substitute.

As soon as Xue Yu's words fell, Xiao Changqing, who had an indifferent expression on his face, looked over quickly, his dark and deep pupils seemed to be shining with a sharp edge that pierced people's hearts.

The Shangshu ordered Cui Zheng not to comment on this, and the Zhongshu ordered Xue Heng to be very disappointed with this nephew. He wanted to follow the path of Wangzheng and gain His Majesty's reliance, but he thought that His Majesty only wanted to flatter his ministers, and Wang Zheng's flattery was unremarkable and he had extraordinary skills. But Xue Yu never takes a selfie in the mirror, sees her own ugliness, and never weighs how much she weighs.

Why is the imperial examination so popular? Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, that is, His Majesty is using it to deal with Gu Zhao.
At this time, the imperial examination made a mistake, and it would be too ugly to push it on the person whose family was ruined by the great prosperity of the imperial examination system.

People who know the truth will naturally find it ugly, and those who don't know the truth will naturally have ways to fool the past. At this time, someone stood up and echoed Xue Yu: "Your Majesty, what Xue Shangshu said made me think that in the past, Mr. Gu repeatedly enforced the imperial examination. After more obstructions, they often made things difficult for the poor children who came from the imperial examinations. Gu Gong always disapproved of the origin of the imperial examinations. Now that the imperial examinations are being investigated for fraud, the bad habits have been going on for six years or even longer. Half of the fraudsters have close contacts with Gu Gong. Perhaps Mr. Gu has already made arrangements to sabotage and curb the imperial examinations."

One can think about it, if Gu Zhao is not dead today, and such a big case breaks out, I am afraid that he will forcefully stop the imperial examination and once again let the aristocratic family cut off the court.

With a straight temper, the courtiers who were loyal to His Majesty because of their poor background and had many disagreements with the children of the aristocratic family immediately agreed.

There was a lot of chatter, and according to Xue Yu's suggestion, it was directly concluded that this might be a long-planned conspiracy by Gu Zhao before his death. If His Majesty hadn't been wise enough to subdue the Gu family early, otherwise the court would be in danger today.

No one stood up to speak for Gu Zhao. It wasn't that they didn't know clearly, or that they hadn't received Gu Zhao's favor, but that someone had to bear the greatest responsibility for this matter, either Gu Zhao or His Majesty.

Your Majesty is their monarch, and it is the fault of their courtiers that your Majesty is not honorable.On the other hand, they don't know His Majesty's attitude, if they act rashly and offend Longyan, it will be their own family who will be unlucky.

"Your Majesty." Just when the situation was overwhelming, Xiao Changqing, the letter king who hadn't voluntarily spoken at the court meeting for a long time, stood up, "Your Majesty's words are so convincing, as if they participated in person, it really makes my heart startled.

Selecting officials through imperial examinations to serve the imperial court and creating an atmosphere of emphasizing learning is actually a good measure to benefit the country and the people.A son with little talent and little learning, can't compare with your father, who has been poor for ten years and rich in learning, but he also knows that an official should cultivate virtue. How can he not know that 'the dead are the greatest'?
All accusations and culpable crimes must be based on evidence. Today, all the ministers are talking empty teeth and humiliating the dead. I am ashamed to be in the company of such people. "

After talking about the courtiers one by one so that they couldn't lift their heads, everyone suddenly remembered that this His Royal Highness Xinwang who had been silent for almost a year, was the one who won the war with the Imperial Confucianism at the age of 15.

Glancing at the person who had just slandered Gu Zhao, Xiao Changqing turned around and bowed to Emperor Youning, "Your Majesty, the Gu family was framed to death in vain, and they have been wronged once. Do they want to repeat the same mistakes? Gu’s son-in-law, someone humiliated the immortal and passed away on Mount Tai, I implore Your Majesty to be the master of Gu’s, and give me justice.”

The sentence of Gu's son-in-law made everyone gasp. His Majesty and Gu Zhao's muddled account is unclear.

Without His Majesty Gu Zhao, he might not be an emperor, and without His Majesty Gu Zhao, he would not be a puppet king for more than ten years.

No one can figure out what His Majesty's thoughts are about Gu Zhao. This is the emperor's taboo.Whether or not the Gu family died in vain and was murdered can only be understood but cannot be explained in words. Everyone is clear in their hearts, and they are not wronged if they say they are wronged, and they are wronged if they say they are not wronged.

Your Majesty was able to vindicate the Gu family, did he really have to compromise because of the situation?Still thinking about the old love in my heart, no one can break it.However, Xiao Changqing openly mentioned that the Gu family was murdered earlier, which undoubtedly trampled His Majesty's face.

Some things are just concessions from the king with a little benevolence and righteousness. Turning them out is tantamount to destroying the affection and gaining an inch.

Emperor Youning was expressionless, looking at Xiao Changqing who was bowing his head and standing in the hall without distinguishing between joy and anger.

Everyone was silent, Xiao Changying wanted to speak up, but Xiao Changqing stopped him with a look.

Emperor Youning was silent for a long time before he said: "I have been doing my best to carry out the imperial examination. The purpose is to make people available in the country and to make the people know how to behave. This case of fraud is due to my negligence. The imperial examination was established by the previous court. , This dynasty implements it, and the omissions must be implemented before they can be observed.

The three provinces and six ministries negotiated how to strictly enforce the scientific examination and avoid fraud. A charter was drawn up and played to me.Today's court meeting, if you don't have a report, you can leave the court. "

Everyone looked at each other and immediately sent off to His Majesty.

After the court meeting ended, Shen Xihe heard about the incident in the court hall. Shen Xihe was very angry that Xue Yu took the lead in pouring the dirty water of the fraud case on the deceased Gu Zhao.

That day when she fell into the river, if it hadn't been for the chance of Gu Qingzhi, who is so powerful and chaotic, she would have disappeared.
