Monument Yangmen

Chapter 897
Cold sweat broke out from Guo Shilang's forehead all of a sudden, he glanced at Jiang Chao with wild wolf eyes, looked at Yang Qi trembling, and squeezed a smile uglier than crying on his face.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Chaoxu was intimidated by His Majesty's Longwei..."

"Deterred by my dragon power?"

Yang Qi forcefully interrupted Guo Shilang's words, sneered at him, looked down at Jiang Chao who was kowtowing, and jokingly said: "Jiang Chao, tell yourself, are you intimidated by your own dragon power?"

Hearing Yang Qi's inquiry, Jiang Chao trembled all over and said: "The grassroots are guilty, and the grassroots deserve death..."

"Did you hear that? He pleaded guilty."

"Maybe it's because of the disrespect in front of the palace..."

Guo Shilang had a bitter face, still defending forcefully.

"enough!"

Yang Qi yelled angrily, interrupted his words, looked at him coldly and said: "Up to now, you are still arguing in front of me. As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Do you really not know why Jiang Chao is like this? !

Do you really want me to lift this last fig leaf? "

Guo Shilang's face changed, no matter how stupid he was, he understood why Jiang Chao lost his composure in front of the palace.

Eighty percent of it is Jiang Chao's bribery, which has already been known by His Majesty.

Guo Shilang's thoughts changed sharply, but he was not in a hurry to confess his guilt. He still had a little luck in his heart.

"I don't know what His Majesty is talking about..."

Guo Shilang gritted his teeth and said such a sentence.

Yang Qijian raised his eyebrows horizontally, and stared blankly, "Okay, very good, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin. If I don't take off your hypocritical mask and expose this last fig leaf, you will really die to the end .”

"Jiang Chao, tell Mr. Guo, how did you get here as Yayuan!"

Under Yang Qi's sharp questioning, under Guo Shilang's hopeful gaze.

Jiang Chao was trembling, and said hesitantly: "I bought... I bought it..."

"How much money did you spend in total?"

"11 money..."

"To whom?"

"Guo...Master Guo..."

"..."

Yang Qi's cold eyes fell on Guo Shilang.

Jiang Chao's confession in court wiped out all hope in Guo Shilang's heart at once, and even dragged him into the bottomless abyss.

"Bullshit! You lie!"

Guo Shilang yelled at Jiang Chao hysterically.

He tremblingly said to Yang Qi: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I will never do anything wrong to Your Majesty..."

"Stubborn!"

Yang Qi snorted coldly, and ordered Peng Pai in a cold voice, "Take off his official hat, pull off his official uniform, seal his mouth, and let him kneel down first."

Peng Pai nodded, and led three hulking bodyguards towards Guo Shilang.

Guo Shilang wanted to yell, but Peng Pai kicked him in the stomach, kicking all the words out of his mouth back into his stomach.

Yang Qi sat on the dragon chair with a stern face, and said in a deep voice: "I will pass on my order to call all the officials to the Qianyuan Hall. I will have a good trial in front of them. I will let everyone know that this In the imperial examination, how many flies are there.

In addition, people were sent to block the bottom of all the officials and petty officials who participated in the imperial examination, and control their families.

I want to find out how many people made money in it and how much money they made. "

As someone close to Yang Qi, Chen Lin naturally knew that Yang Qi had been planning this matter for a long time, and now that it was time to collect the net, he naturally did not dare to lose the chain.

Immediately, after Chen Lin saluted Yang Qi, she led the imperial guards to pass the decree to seal the mansion.

But the hundreds of candidates in the Qianyuan Hall were a little embarrassed.

Since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, the first imperial examination has turned into this. They are completely bewildered and don't know how to deal with it.

Some of the candidates who, like Jiang Chao, passed the imperial examination by paying bribes were so panicked that they were dying of panic at the moment, and some even peed in fright.

Yang Qi looked at them and glanced around, and said calmly: "I am not a bloodthirsty person, this time I cheated in the imperial examination, I only implicated the officials, and I will not convict you.

Of course, this is only based on your confession.

If anyone is lucky, don't blame me for killing people without blinking an eye. "

The disciples were taken aback.

Immediately, they didn't care too much. In order to survive, they all jumped out and told the brief process of their bribery.

Yang Qi asked them to write down the detailed bribery process on the paper on the table.

Afterwards, Yang Qi didn't make things difficult for them, and let Zamahe Aoki throw them out of the palace.

However, to Yang Qi's surprise, after blasting away more than half of the candidates, there were still more than 70 candidates left in the Qianyuan Hall.

Yang Qihu glanced around them again, "Did you take part in bribery?"

Someone got up slowly, and after saluting Yang Qi with cupped hands, he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Returning to Your Majesty, we are all candidates based on real talents and learning. It's not like those gangs of wine bags and rice bags who won fame by bribery."

Yang Qi nodded slowly, "I hope what you said is true, and I also hope that what you are doing are all honest people. I will send someone to investigate later, if it is found out that someone has bribed, but concealed it. No mercy."

"But check with His Majesty."

Yang Qi nodded again, "I will send someone to investigate, but before that, I want to talk about the treatment of you. Unfortunately, you have been involved in this fraud case in the examination room, so I will not take you.

I give you two choices.

Those who want to wait for the next imperial examination can leave.

Those who are unwilling to wait for the next imperial examination, and are willing to pass my assessment and enter Yenching University for further study, can continue to sit for the exam. "

More than 70 times, he hesitated for a moment.

After a short thought, someone stood up, bowed to Yang Qi, and exited the Qianyuan Hall.

Then one after another people quit.

In the end, there were more than 70 cases, and there were less than ten people left.

Yang Qi just watched them leave calmly.

Yang Qi gave them the opportunity, and even gave them more than one chance, but they wanted to go all the way to the dark, and insisted on fighting the imperial examination to the end, what could Yang Qi do.

He is just a person, not a god, and cannot change people's hearts.

The remaining ten people, after a short period of recovery, began to calm down and continue to participate in this special assessment.

Although there were hundreds of people in the main hall, it was quiet.

Guo Shilang was tied up like a zongzi, and he didn't know whose stinky socks were stuffed in his mouth, and was thrown in a corner of the hall. He struggled repeatedly, but in vain.

The rustling sound of the examiners picking up their pens and swiping their brushes is very pleasant.

After two sticks of incense.

The first batch of officials who received the order of summoning entered the Qianyuan Hall, and they were also taken aback after seeing the wonderful scene on the Qianyuan Hall.

But they didn't say much, and silently divided into two rows, standing on both sides of the hall.

Then the second batch, the third batch...

Hundreds of officials came slowly and slowly filled up the Qianyuan Hall.

When all officials arrive.

Yang Qi coughed lightly and broke the silence, he said with a smile: "My dear friends, you can walk around and help me see how the candidates in the imperial examination are selected this time."

After a pause, Yang Qi emphasized: "Especially those with empty tables."

All the officials didn't understand Yang Qi's intention, and after a little hesitation, they all bowed to salute.

"Hey~"

The officials began to walk around the hall, frequently looking at the confessions placed on the empty tables.

Someone saw it and felt terrified.

Someone sensed that something big was going to happen.

Someone was gloating and laughing.

Some people hid back to the train after reading it.

Yang Qi continued to smile after all the officials had finished understanding, "You should have seen it all. Before, you tried to persuade me to open the imperial examination, but I didn't agree. Now it seems that it's my fault.

If I had known that the imperial examinations could make a lot of money, I should have started the imperial examinations earlier, and maybe I could use this to relieve the pressure on the national treasury. "

The officials were not stupid, so they could naturally understand Yang Qiming's sarcasm. They subconsciously lowered their heads and said nothing.

Yang Qi got up slowly, his voice became a little more serious, and said: "All of you keep saying that you want to promote talents for the country, and all of you are upright and upright than Wei Zheng, who are more like a mirror of the ages.

Feelings, you are so upright, so talented for the country.

If things go on like this, why should I worry that the big swallow will not perish! "

"Your servant deserves death!"

"No, no, no, you don't deserve to die. It's me who deserves to die. It's me who was blind and used a bunch of stuff like you."

The smile finally disappeared on Yang Qi's face, and he roared with a stern expression: "The state's public property, in your hands, has actually become a tool for making money. And it's so blatant.

Is this the purpose of you forcing me to reopen the imperial examination? "

"The ministers are terrified...the ministers deserve death..."

Baiguan's face was slapped.

But no one dared to answer.

After Yang Qi roared, someone came out slowly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the imperial examination itself. The reason why the imperial examination has caused this situation this time is purely Guo Shilang's greed.

The minister thought that His Majesty should depose Guo Shilang as an official, lose his family wealth, demote him to a commoner, announce it to the world, so as to imitate others, and then re-open the imperial examination. "

"Hehe~"

Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled sarcastically, "The Great Hall of Discussion of Talents in the National Dynasty was turned into a grand ceremony for money collection by the surname Guo. You want me to depose him as an official and demote him to be a commoner? Is it that simple?"

The official raised his head and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, the capital of embellishing the pen has existed since ancient times. Guo Shilang is just a little greedy, and he is not guilty of death. Moreover, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Your Majesty is so strong. If you don't let it go at all, I'm afraid it will arouse the resentment of Shilin, and in the end it will not be worth the loss."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Qi laughed loudly when he heard the words, but the laughter was particularly penetrating.

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. I feel that I will give the common people a bright and clear world. Is there something wrong? This is the first time I have seen someone take corruption and take bribes, and they say it so purely."

The official forced a smile out of embarrassment, and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

Yang Qi laughed angrily at this idiot, "I have to be blind to let people like you appear in court."

Yang Qi looked at the other officials and said with a ferocious smile, "You also have the same idea as him?"

The other officials shook their heads and subconsciously distanced themselves from that idiot.

Yang Qi sneered, and ordered Peng Pai: "Pull this idiot down, copy what he wrote in large characters, hang it around his neck, escort him around the city of Yanjing, and then send him to Caishikou .

Be decisive! "

"Your Majesty, the minister is right! Your Majesty!"

"..."

Amid the frequent exclamations of the official, he was pulled out of the Qianyuan Hall.

Although the other officials thought that guy was too stupid, no one refuted what he said.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

In the previous Song Dynasty, it was even an iron law that no one could shake.

however.

He ignored two things.

First, there is no way to bring this kind of unspoken rules to the table.There are many unspoken rules, when there is no light, they run amok, but when they see the light, they must die.

Second, this is Dayan, not Song.

Deal with this idiot.

Yang Qi looked at Baiguan again, and those who wanted to intercede for Guo Shilang immediately waved their flags.

What Guo Shilang did was indeed a little too much. Of the hundreds of exams, less than 70 people passed the exam with real materials, and the rest were all passed by bribery.

The amount exceeded [-]% to [-]%, and now Yang Qi has uncovered the imperial examination fraud case in court, and there is almost no way out.

Seeing the reactions of all the officials, Yang Qi still had a straight face, but his heart was full of joy.

Now, he can justifiably deal with Guo Shilang and his group, and no one will come forward to speak out against them.

Yan Guo will not cause any turmoil because of his handling of Guo Shilang.

Yang Qi slowly sat on the dragon chair, and said in a cold voice: "Guo Shilang, as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, accepting bribes and disrupting the court's ceremony of discussing talents is an unforgivable crime. His subordinate officials cooperated with him to deceive his superiors and subordinates. Giving and accepting bribes is equally unforgivable."

"Zamahe Aoki?"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Chuan Yulin guards dispatched to arrest all these corrupt officials who gave bribes and brought them to justice, and none of them will be let go."

"Hey~"

"After catching people, they were all escorted to Caishikou, and executed as a whole, as an example to others. His family property was confiscated and confiscated."

"..."

After Zamahe Aoki took the order, he immediately left the Qianyuan Hall and led 5000 Habayashi guards to go out together to arrest people.

Taking advantage of this imperial examination fraud case, Yang Qi slapped the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty bitterly, and then quickly attacked and arrested and killed people when they were covering their faces in pain.

All in one go.

The first shot to wipe out the influence of Confucianism was officially fired.

Following Habayashi Wei's frequent attacks.

One after another officials involved in the imperial examination fraud case were arrested and brought to justice.

From top to bottom, no one who participated in the fraud case was spared.

Wait until Habayashi Wei catches everyone.

Looking at the huge number of people, Yang Qi also took a deep breath.

shocking!

Horror!
Up to the officials, down to the servants in the officials' homes, and even the servants in the servants' homes, all involved in it.

As many as 680 people were involved in the case.

Looking at the huge number, Yang Qi sighed inwardly.

It is not unjust to die in the Song Dynasty, and it is not injustice to die in the Ming Dynasty.

There are moths like this, no matter how powerful the country is, it will be corroded for you, and the country will not perish.

Yang Qi wrote down this number with a vermilion pen and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the study, reminding himself all the time.

He became more determined to suppress Confucianism.
