Chapter 612 Never seen such an arrogant rebel

"The censor searched for a large amount of evidence of bribery in the Zhai, and locked thirteen officials of the Imperial College and hundreds of imperial students?"

"Too few, let them investigate more, the Imperial City Secretary will cooperate well, understand?"

At the gate of Taixue, Gao Qiu looked at the hot search scene inside, stroked his beard, and was very pleased.

At this time, he had already figured out the official's intentions, knowing that the bigger the case, the more he could stop those foolish rumors.

So don't say that Yushi is gearing up, even if the opponent dies, he will try to make a fuss.

At this moment, a soldier reported: "Zhu Wu, a student from the foreign house, has played both soft and hard ways. I haven't explained it yet. Are you going to bring him to the Imperial City Division next?"

Gao Qiu waved his hand and said, "Keep it for Judge Ding, just as a favor, the case of the Tai student's murder has broken the Kaifeng government office, and everyone is happy."

The soldier took the order: "Yes!"

Gao Qiu was not interested in the truth of the case, but thinking of the previous official's attitude, he suddenly asked, "When did Lin Chong leave?"

The subordinates reported: "That Mr. Lin left very early."

Gao Qiu said with a low smile: "Sure enough, he is not seeking to make progress..."

His face became relaxed, but he made up his mind that no matter how useful this person is, as long as he enters the officialdom, he will clean up immediately.

There is no other reason, but because the favor of officials is limited, competitors must be cut off in advance.

At the same time, I have to practice calligraphy and painting hard. Officials like wrestling, so I have to practice sumo. I have to hire some famous sumo wrestlers...

Of course, there is also the work of the Imperial City Division. After the rumors subside, the next step is to catch "Zuo Ming" and find the secret edict.

According to what the palace said, the empress dowager was in a daze at the end of her life, and was tricked by the traitor Guo Kai to write a secret edict, which later disappeared and probably fell into the hands of the rebel "Zuo Ming".

Where is that man hiding?

Gao Qiu twirled his beard thinking.

A figure in a toga flashed past behind him, and the eyes under the mask glanced here.

Li Yan crossed the Imperial City Division and came to Taixue at night.

The noisy sound is like daytime.

The faint crying represented the arrival of the real night.

After discovering that Gao Qi and other members of the Imperial City Department came here to stand guard at night, Li Yan knew that Zhao Ji in the palace was in trouble again.

Taixue fraud is a very sensitive case. It took nearly a year from the beginning to the end of the big case back then. A bribery case that was not considered a big deal in the Song Dynasty environment stunned the entire officialdom. There was a huge shock.

Why is this so?

Because it involves the credibility of the imperial examination!
When a country advocates governing the country with literature, and the emperor tells the people all over the world that there is Yan Ruyu in the book and a golden house in the book, the people must feel that the imperial examination is fair, and then everyone will sharpen their heads and go to the imperial examination. It is crowded inside and supports such court rule.

This is really not a lie.

The children from poor families before the Song Dynasty focused on the "family". Even if they could be called family status, even if they fell, they just lost deep political resources and still had tens of thousands of wealth, which had nothing to do with ordinary people.

But since the Song Dynasty, children from poor families have become real ordinary people in the understanding of later generations. No matter how humble their backgrounds, schoolchildren, orphans and even beggars, can rely on their own abilities to obtain fame and fame.

For example, Fan Zhongyan lost his father at the age of two, his mother remarried to someone else, and his life was poor. In order to study, he lived in a temple, studied hard day and night, and lived on porridge, and finally became a high school scholar.

Ouyang Xiu lost his father at the age of four, and his mother had no choice but to take him to his uncle, whose living conditions were also poor, so he used straw to learn calligraphy on the sand.

There is even the No. [-] Jinshi Department in the millennium mentioned above. One of them was born as a book boy.

There are also many Jinshi who were born as beggars, and it is impossible to give examples one by one. These people really climbed up from the bottom of society.

Therefore, the privileges enjoyed by scholar-bureaucrats are justified, because anyone can become a scholar-bureaucrat by studying.

Under such circumstances, it is normal and necessary for the common people to care about Taixue. Here you can listen to the lectures of Jinshi, and get direct lectures from many champions from the Imperial College, and three meals are free, including food and lodging, If you give birth to a gifted and studious child, you can enter the Taixue first, and then take the Jinshi exam, which can change the fate of the whole family.

And when a bribery and fraud case occurs in such a place, it will naturally arouse the enthusiasm of the public. In order to maintain the rule, the imperial court must also give an explanation to the people.

It's just that it's hard to guarantee whether the innocent will be involved in the process.

"If the censor goes to war, how many innocent students will suffer..."

At this time, Zhu Wu was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes showed worry and resentment: "If that person hadn't read the diary, with the ability of that big-headed judge in the Kaifeng government office, he would definitely not have noticed the bribery." I can kill those doctors slowly, and it won’t cause trouble like this!”

Just muttering, a voice came from behind: "Is the person who revealed the truth worthy of your hatred? Killing all the doctors of Taixue at this time will change anything?"

Zhu Wu turned around, then froze suddenly, almost rubbing his eyes: "You...you are 'Zuo Ming'..."

Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his momentum completely crushing: "Except for you who dare to pretend to be me, no one else has such courage!"

Zhu Wu's hands subconsciously grasped the double knives hidden in his waist.

His martial arts are not top-notch, but he is quick-witted and decisive, and he can often strike at the most suitable time, so even facing the world's first-class figures, he thinks he can do one or two tricks.

But at this moment, facing the person in front of him, he has no confidence at all, so he can only whisper: "Aren't you afraid of me shouting?"

Never seen such an arrogant rebel!
The censor who is investigating the case is only a hundred steps away from here, and there was the Imperial City Secretary guarding him just now. How dare this number one criminal in the imperial court appear in front of him in a big way?
Li Yan glanced at him lightly.

Zhu Wu realized that he had said something stupid.

From the aura like abyss and prison, as long as he dared to have such thoughts, he would die on the spot in the next breath.

He collected his mind and left the weapon with both hands, seemingly casually, but in fact he said carefully: "I pretended that you committed the crime, and I really have malicious intentions. If you want to take my life when you enter the Imperial Academy, just come!"

Appreciation flashed in Li Yan's eyes: "You don't need to retreat to make progress. I have a few questions to ask you here. When you entered Taixue from the state school, what was your score in the make-up exam?"

There are two ways to enter the Taixue, one is to enter the Taixue from the prefectural school, and the other is to apply directly for admission to the Taixue from the people with household registration in the capital. I don't know, but I still replied: "Second."

Li Yandao: "Is the first place Chen Yu?"

Zhu Wu's complexion changed completely: "How did you know about Chen Weiguo?"

There was regret in Li Yan's voice: "Chen Yu, whose name is Weiguo, is a brave student from Chuzhou who dared to expose the shady scenes of the Taixue, but it's a pity that he ended up like that..."

Zhu Wu's lips trembled: "You actually know all about this?"

Li Yandao: "I know a lot more than you imagined, such as your special way of revenge, concealing the fact that Taixue cheated, and the idea of ​​killing teachers and students who gave bribes and accepted bribes one by one."

"The reason why you do this is that other poor students in the Taixue will be implicated in the fraud case. After all, for the rich children, they have many choices of education. There are famous Confucian scholars in various academies, but for the poor For my disciples, the cost of the academy is too high, and Taixue is the best choice."

"So you would rather assassinate and let those dead die with a good reputation than expose the truth and let those people be punished openly."

Zhu Wu calmed down, and said slowly: "That's right! Because I revealed the truth about the fraud, those rich kids can't be punished, and the ones who really cut off their future are the students like Wei Guo who have worked hard for ten years... ..."

"What's more, even if the truth is revealed, will the imperial court execute those Guozijian officials? No, it's just demoted and released. After the amnesty, they can still be recalled. Since the imperial court will not carry out the punishment, I will carry out the execution and let those greedy. The doctor is in constant fear, living in fear..."

Li Yan commented: "Very sensible revenge, you can risk your life for your friends, and you can have such calmness, you are very good!"

Zhu Wu felt that he understood: "Your Excellency, you want to pull me to rebel?"

There was a hint of wavering in his tone, but more of a resistance.

However, Li Yan shook his head directly: "I never force others, let alone use some insidious means to lure people into the gang. I am here only because of the conspiracy of Mingzun's disciples, and they want to use this case to lure me out."

Zhu Wu was startled: "Ming Zun teaches?"

Li Yandao: "Chen Yu's classmate, Lu Shinang, a student who was kicked out of the Taixue together with him, is a member of Mingzun's teaching."

No need to explain too much, after Zhu Wu thought for a while, his face changed drastically: "Could it be that..."

Li Yandao: "There are traces of everything. I believe you have doubts in the past. It's just that you don't know Lu Shinang's real identity, so you can't see Mount Tai. Now you can understand the cause and effect?"

Zhu Wu said in a deep voice: "Understood, no wonder they asked me to pretend to be 'Zuo Ming', it turned out that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong...but they were wrong, very wrong! Your Excellency is too scary, it is impossible I don't know, is there no secret in front of you?"

Li Yandao: "Of course I can't know everything. Mingzun teaches the three caves of the cunning rabbit. I don't know where they are hiding now, so I came to see you."

If it were someone else, this question would probably not be answered, but the person in front of him is Zhu Wu, the future miraculous military strategist, Wen Tao Wu Lue, the number one Di Kui Xing of the Seventy-two Earth Demons, and there are many more Everyone thinks that the ranking is too low, and even thinks that he is more useful than the official military adviser Wu Yong.

Not to mention who will be better Wu Yong or Zhu Wu in the future, at least at this moment, after thinking about it again, Zhu Wu's eyes flashed fiercely: "I know where Ming Zunjiao is hiding!"
