Chapter 16 Fraud in the Imperial Examination
Those who are loyal to Jiang Muli are tortured people who have no self and no feelings.

It took Wei Chenrui a lot of effort to finally awaken their emotions and completely convince them to join.

When Wei Chenrui was trying his best to turn against the blood and kill the Gu killer, the three-yearly imperial examination began.

As the main person in charge of the imperial examination, Pei Qianhuo is also very busy.

Of course, he is not responsible, but busy selling exam questions and covering up.

Pei Qianhuo's money was not brought by strong winds. With those salaries, how could he be able to spend it? He is not a nobleman. If he didn't want to push the third prince to the throne, he would be too extravagant to live.

I'm afraid that his young life is more comfortable than the emperor's.

By the time Wei Chenrui convinced those killers, the imperial examination had already ended.

As Yunmeng's Xie Yuan, Deng Huawu started looking for clues everywhere as soon as he left the examination room.

Because, before the exam started, someone took the same topic and asked him to help write the article.

Deng Huawu's family was not rich, and it cost him all his money to go to Beijing for the exam. The man gave him a lot of money, and Deng Huawu wanted to earn this money to reduce the burden on his family, so he helped write.

After the exam, he knew there was something tricky.

It is not uncommon to see cheating in imperial examinations. Deng Huawu only heard about it, and never wanted to meet him.

He knew that the Skynet was well-established and never leaked, and fraud in the imperial examination would always be exposed.

At that time, as an "accomplice", I'm afraid I won't get any good.

The only thing that can be done is to find clues to their fraudulent imperial examinations and make meritorious deeds.

Deng Huawu first contacted the person who asked him to help write the article, hoping to find some clues from him.

It's a pity that that person went to banquets everywhere every day and never met Deng Huawu at all.

As time passed, it was not so easy for Deng Huawu, a candidate with no foundation or connections, to find clues.

Until the list was released, nothing of value was found.

As Yunmeng's Xieyuan, Deng Huawu thought he had some talent, even if he didn't pass the top three exams, he would have to be top ten.

Unfortunately, it turned out that he was out of the top [-], which made Deng Huawu very unacceptable.

Looking at the top ten again, May Day is not from rich, powerful and well-connected families, not to mention children from poor families, not even people from outside the capital.

This result made Deng Huawu very unacceptable. He knew that this case of fraud in the imperial examination was no longer as simple as selling exam questions.

Before the students could make a fuss, the emperor got angry first.

The emperor still attached great importance to the imperial examinations. As soon as the rankings were released, the emperor sent someone to copy the rankings, and was going to discuss with Wei Chenrui about the imperial examination.

Looking at the list, the top ten are not only unknown people, but also people from Kyoto, which has never happened before.

Looking at it again, there is actually Shang Qisong, the ignorant second-generation ancestor of the Rongguo family.

The emperor didn't know whether others passed the exam based on their own abilities, but the emperor knew that with Shang Qisong's ability, he would definitely not pass the exam.

Seeing the emperor's pale face, Wei Chenrui moved up to look curiously.

"Pfft! This Pei Shangshu is too stupid, he treats everyone as fools."

"It's so obvious. I'm afraid no one in the whole court can't see that there is something wrong with this list."

The emperor, who was already angry, became even angrier now. His daughter, who had high hopes, saw the joke, and couldn't hold back her face!
"bump!"

The emperor slammed the table angrily: "It's really unreasonable, come here, and declare Peiqian Huo Jingong for me."

"Father, I think it's better to forget it!"

Wei Chenrui didn't care much about the emperor's anger.

"So what if you just call him here? It's nothing more than a scolding, a fine, and a demotion at most. Can you kill him?"

"you can not!"

"Then if you call him over and make yourself angry, what's the use if you can't solve the problem, and you can't give the students an explanation?"

"Students have worked hard for more than ten years, or even decades, and this result, no one can bear it!"

"The top priority is to appease the students and prevent them from making trouble."

"After the student's matter is resolved, it's not too late to clean up Pei Shangshu."

The emperor knew that Wei Chenrui was telling the truth, so he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Do you have a solution?"

Wei Chenrui nodded: "Of course there is a way, but it needs the cooperation of the emperor and all the ministers."

"How to cooperate?"

"Naturally, they will do what the son-in-law says."

The emperor hesitated, but he couldn't guarantee that the ministers would be so obedient, and they would do whatever they were asked to do.

After all, the court is not the emperor's word hall, and ministers often oppose the emperor's decision.

"This, I can cooperate with you, those ministers, I."

Wei Chenrui waved his hand: "Understand, understand!"

"Not only, I have a way to make them obey."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you going to do?"

Wei Chenrui blinked mischievously: "Secret, you will know tomorrow morning, remember to support Erchen when the time comes!"

Normally, with Wei Chenrui's performance, the emperor must have laughed, but today the emperor is so angry that he can't laugh at all.

Seeing that the emperor wasn't making fun of him, Wei Chenrui rolled his eyes, thinking from his heart: "Father, you should call Pei Shangshu over and scold him."

"Although it can't solve the problem, it can make him a punching bag, allowing you to vent your anger, which is also considered waste utilization."

As he spoke, Wei Chenrui blinked at Liu Xi, the eunuch next to the emperor.

Liu Xi understood, and bowed forward: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body. Your Highness the Empress Dowager is right. Please scold and vent your anger, so as not to suffocate your body."

Wei Chenrui followed up and said, "That's right, if you still don't feel relieved after scolding, you can smash things."

"Let Eunuch Liu find you some shoddy cups, let you smash them on Pei Shangshu."

"Those things are worthless, and they are worth the money if they can relieve the father."

Being left by the two of them, the emperor thought it was a good idea: "Okay, Liu Xi, let's do it like this."

Liu Xi and Wei Chenrui looked at each other with a smile, and quickly knelt down: "Yes, my servant obeys the order."

Then, with the emperor's nod of agreement, Liu Xi got up and left, and went out to let the little eunuch go to Pei Shangshu's mansion to deliver the decree, and went to the warehouse to find cheap cups.

Seeing Liu Xi leave, Wei Chenrui said, "I'm going down to prepare things for tomorrow morning, so I'll take my leave first."

Preparing things is all an excuse, Wei Chenrui just didn't want to see the emperor smashing and venting his anger here, so he made excuses.

The emperor didn't want his daughter to see his imageless side, so he waved her away.
