Jinyi champion

The matter of Yang Dun was rumored by the government and the public, but it did not make a fuss in the court, and the impact was not great for the time being. Yang Dun was only angry at the malicious slander against him.

But in Daming, it is very common for officials to gossip about things. There are rumors among the people that it is very difficult not to be reported to the emperor. In addition, this matter itself has the emperor's power behind it.

Create public opinion.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, if you publicize it first, your reputation among ordinary scholars will be greatly reduced, and even bad reviews will be raging.

Who told your son to be impartial and pass the Jinshi exam just when you were in charge of the government?Besides, your son's public reputation in the past was not good. He is a dude who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, regardless of whether the public opinion is a fly or not, Yang Dun has too many seams.

At this time, all the people in the court were staring at Yang Tinghe.

Although Yang Tinghe didn't want to look like a powerful minister controlling the government, because he didn't use a high-handed stance to suppress his political opponents, this gave the political opponents a chance to fight back.

Relevant memorials were quickly passed from the Secretary of General Administration to the cabinet.

When the officials want to discuss this test, they will not start with Yang Tinghe and his father and son, but talk about the people who have great opinions on the results of this test, and they will target Yi Sun-sin, the leader of the test. Because of his great talent and reputation, he was recognized by the examiners, and because of his special style, he was named the number one in Nangong.

"Nonsense..."

Jiang Mian, as one of the chief examiners of this examination, was very angry when he saw such memorials.

In his view, this test is fair and just, and there is no cheating or private giving and receiving.

The other chief examiner for this exam is Shi Ping. Shi Ping was also the chief examiner for the previous exam. Shi Ping did the main work of writing the questions.

Jiang Mian is actually just a name.

Both Liu Chun and Fei Hong looked over with strange eyes.

That look seems to say, even if there is a problem in this test, you, Jiang Mian, as the chief examiner, will definitely not tell the truth as the person involved, and even if there is a problem, it will not be caused by you. Could it be that Yang Tinghe will directly discuss the meeting with you, the second assistant? How to try to cheat for personal gain?

Mao Jidao: "Among the scholars, Li Shunchen has the highest knowledge and the most famous reputation. He can be regarded as the representative of this generation of scholars. As for Yao Lai, who will be second in the exam, is he Yao Yingzhi's son?"

The No.1 will be Li Sunshin, and the No.2 will be Yao Lai.

Yao Lai is the son of Yao Mao, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry and the admiral of Yizhou Shanchang. Yao Mao has always been considered to have defected from Wang Qiong's faction to Yang Tinghe's faction. On the issue of the governor of the Xuanfu, Yang Tinghe also considered letting him go. After all, Yao Mao was the governor of the Xuanfu in the 15th year of Zhengde.

But later Yang Tinghe gave up the position of governor of Xuanfu to someone recommended by Sun Jiao, and only competed for the post of governor of Datong.

Jiang Mian frowned upon hearing this.

What do you mean by Mao Ji?
It is said that Yao Mao's son was selected as the No. 2 of the examination. Is it a private gift?
Jiang Mian couldn't help but glance at Fei Hong.

After all, the last session of the palace was to test flowers.Or Fei Hong's nephew!
The children of aristocratic families are much better educated than ordinary people, and they know how to cater to the examiner's psychology and write good test-taking essays. Is there anything surprising?

Besides, do I know this Yao Mao very well?
Liu Chun asked, "How should the statement be drafted?"

Yang Tinghe said: "Leave these matters to His Majesty, leave them alone."

This incident was obviously aimed at Yang Tinghe. Although Yang Tinghe hadn't said a word before, he also felt that the little emperor's people might be involved behind this incident.

Think about the discredit of the head and assistant of the dignified cabinet, whoever benefits the most.

Yang Tinghe was very aware of his current situation. Although the emperor respected him, he wished that he would leave the court early. There were many people below who wanted to replace him, and even the people in the cabinet had different ideas.

People are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!
……

……

The memorial was reported up.

But it didn't attract the emperor's attention, and Zhu Si didn't mention this matter at all during the court meeting the next day.

It is important to know that cheating in public examinations involving folk discussions must be time-sensitive, and the investigation must be dispatched as soon as possible, instead of delaying until the palace examination begins.

After the court meeting, Zhu Si called Yang Tinghe to Qianqing Palace alone.

"...Old Yang Ge, I have read the content above, and this matter is obviously aimed at you." Zhu Si returned the memorial that had not even been drafted to Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe was very surprised: "The old minister doesn't understand what he means."

Zhu Sidao: "In this memorandum, it seems that the folks are questioning whether there is any questioning and partiality in this meeting. The name of Mr. Yang Ge is not mentioned between the lines, but they are actually saying that this time they will try Mr. Yang Ge. It is easy to control whoever wants to win Gongshi."

"I've also heard that there is a lot of discussion among the people about your son... Zhonggongshi, much more than about Li Shunchen and Yao Lai."

Yang Tinghe thought to himself, do you still need to remind me?

Yang Tinghe said in an official tone: "Your Majesty, no matter how the outside world discusses it, if there is no conclusive evidence to lead in the wrong direction and favoritism, this matter should not be investigated."

"Um."

Zhu Si calmly accepted Yang Tinghe's suggestion.

It seems that Zhu Si himself has no intention of checking this matter to the end.

The doubts in Yang Tinghe's heart deepened.

This matter has nothing to do with your little emperor?

Why is it so evil?
Who else would be so eager to discredit me but you?

Zhu Si sighed: "I can't help but think of Mr. Tang. He was implicated in the case of inscriptions in the past, and now he is not even qualified to be a Jinshi. Entering the Xing Palace as an identity, the emperor will ask him to be the chief history of the palace when he is still alive, and it will not be like this now."

Yang Tinghe was confused when he heard this.

Why did it suddenly involve Tang Yin?

Or is it related to Tang Yin?
Zhu Sidao: "Now that there are so many people talking about it, I have to find a way to calm it down as much as possible, right? My original intention was that Mr. Yang Ge came out to preside over the situation, thoroughly investigate this matter, and give justice to the folk scholars..."

"His Majesty……"

Yang Tinghe felt that the little emperor was going to mess around.

"Mr. Yang Ge doesn't need to refuse in a hurry. After thinking about it carefully, I feel that Mr. Yang Ge is busy with affairs in the court. How could he have time to investigate the case? I couldn't help but let Mr. Yang come forward and name him. In name, Mr. Yang Ge Presiding over the thorough investigation, in fact let Tang Yin investigate, what do you think?"

Zhu Si asked with a smile.

Yang Tinghe thought to himself, the new emperor really tried every means to use Tang Yin again.

Yang Tinghe said: "But now Tang Yin has no official position..."

These words are not objections anymore, it is Chi Guoguo reminding the emperor, are you going to arrange an official position for Tang Yin again?
Zhu Sidao: "I promised earlier that Mr. Tang would not be involved in the court affairs, so I don't intend to assign him a specific role this time. I actually want to use him to be involved in the case of inscriptions and get implicated. Also, he is not an official now, which makes others feel that he will not favor anyone.”

"Um."

It was rare for Yang Tinghe not to object.

The emperor's words make sense.

Tang Yin is not one of Yang Tinghe's people, he is even a political enemy, he is oppressed by Yang Tinghe and even an official can't do it, so it is reasonable to say that he would not favor Yang Tinghe, and Tang Yin himself has a high prestige among the folk scholars, especially when he was involved in the inscription case, so You should hate this kind of thing deeply, and what you say can win the trust of scholars.

Yang Tinghe was afraid that Tang Yin would take the opportunity to find fault?

nonexistent!

The reason is that Tang Yin was originally Yang Tinghe's political enemy. If Tang Yin really got involved in order to check on Yang Tinghe, and Tang Yin, a person who is not even an official, attacked the dignified cabinet chief and assistant, who would not think it was an opportunity to retaliate?

Besides, you are not an official, and if you seek trouble, it will not have any effect!

"I'm just worried that Mr. Tang can't find a job to do, so let's do it like this...Oh, by the way, it's better for Mr. Yang Ge to recommend someone to cooperate with Mr. Tang to investigate...The so-called investigation is to give the people an explanation and let them do it within three days. Come up with the results of the investigation, what does Yang Ge think?"

It will not be checked for a long time, only three days, and Yang Tinghe is still hiding behind the scenes as the chief dispatcher.

On Tang Yin's side, Yang Tinghe can also send someone to supervise...

It could not be better.

"This matter started because of the rites, so it's better for the rites to cooperate with Zhu Mingyang in the matter."

Yang Tinghe made a suggestion.

"Okay, I agree."

Zhu Siyi waved his hand, "Let's do it like this."

……

……

What was not discussed in the court, the monarch and his ministers discussed in private, and decided that Tang Yin and Zhu Mingyang would come forward to investigate possible public opinion disturbances involved in the examination.

The goal is to calm down the turmoil as soon as possible.

Let folk scholars know that this meeting is very fair and just.

"What does this mean?"

When Tang Yin accepted this commission, he was in a daze.

Why did you suddenly ask me to come out to investigate the cheating case in the exam?
He also set a good tone, saying that he wanted to quell public opinion as soon as possible...

It seems that there is no actual evidence for this kind of thing, and it is not like Cheng Minzheng, who has a clear goal like the 12th Hongzhi Examination. Who should I check now?
Cha Jiang Mian or Cha Shi Pang?

If it is not for the investigation of these two people, what does it mean that the emperor appointed me to do this job?
Or to put it another way... What is Zhu Hao pretending to be in his head?
Zhang Zuo was in charge of passing on the message to Tang Yin, and he said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has spoken, you can go and investigate, and whatever step you find out counts as that step."

Tang Yin frowned: "Eunuch Zhang, let's not talk about it. I'm alone now, without an official body. What's the point of investigating the case like this? Besides, I have no clue about this matter. Could it be that Jingdao mentioned it to His Majesty again?" What, let His Majesty do this?"

"no."

Zhang Zuo smiled and shook his head.

"No? Or didn't you say it? Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Jing Dao?" Tang Yin asked.

Zhang Zuo continued to shake his head: "Our family doesn't know either. Your Majesty specifically told me to let you investigate this matter yourself. Don't bother Mr. Zhu. As for what Mr. Zhu told His Majesty, our family doesn't know, it seems... at all It was not mentioned.”

Tang Yin smiled wryly: "This is quite new. In the past, Jing Dao was behind the scenes. This time he set up a situation for Mr. Yang Ge, but he didn't make a plan in advance. It means, let me come here casually? If it doesn't suit his wishes ,Would not it be……"

Zhang Zuo tried to analyze: "Perhaps... Do you think this is the case? From your Majesty and Mr. Zhu's point of view, no matter what you do to check, it's fine. It's better not to check...don't ask for results, right?"

"Ha ha."

Tang Yin couldn't do anything but smile wryly.
