The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 22
Wei Chenrui was afraid of forgetting, so after returning to the palace, he worked overtime to complete the anti-cheating plan before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, it was inevitable that someone would report on the imperial examination fraud.

"I know about this matter. Yesterday I called Pei Shangshu, who was in charge, into the palace and scolded him."

"Although there is no evidence to prove who leaked the exam questions, there is no doubt that Pei Shangshu's lax governance led to the leak of the exam questions."

"As for the others, it still needs to be verified. Is there any adult who is willing to take over and thoroughly investigate this case of imperial examination fraud?"

The entire court was suddenly silent, and no one was willing to stand up and take over.

There is no stupid minister who can stand here.

The emperor said that he scolded Pei Qianhuo yesterday, and the person behind the scenes is very likely to be Pei Qianhuo.

Even if it wasn't him, it was someone under him.

Pei Qianhuo knew that the matter had been revealed, which meant that the people behind the scenes knew about it, so he naturally knew that his superiors would investigate the matter, so how could he not destroy the evidence.

It's been one night now, I'm afraid the evidence has been almost destroyed.

Looking for evidence at this time, basically can't find it, that is to say, there is no way to investigate this case, and it is thankless.

Naturally, no one wants to investigate such a case.

After waiting for a long time, no one responded. The emperor, who had calmed down by scolding Pei Qian and Huo Yitong, became angry again.

He roared angrily: "What? Is there no one in the court? No one will answer this matter!"

Now, no one dared to take over the investigation of this case, for fear of becoming the emperor's punching bag.

"Father, leave this matter to my son!"

Wei Chenrui sighed, and accepted the job.

There's no way, I can't let my father get down, let's get angry!
"Then I will leave this matter to you!"

For his own daughters, the emperor naturally couldn't lose his temper like he did to his courtiers.

Not only did he get angry, but he didn't ask her to investigate clearly.

"Yes!"

Wei Chenrui has always disliked twists and turns, he always speaks outright, and often almost chokes people to death because of this, and today is no exception.

"Father, my son still has something to say."

The emperor thought that Wei Chenrui was going to talk about the aftermath, so he agreed to it out of anger before: "Say it!"

"Father, since you called Pei Shangshu into the palace yesterday and yelled at him, the mastermind behind the scenes must also know that the matter has been revealed."

"After a whole night of preparation, I'm afraid that there is no useful news to be found at this time. You must be prepared."

Unexpectedly, Wei Chenrui was talking about such a thing, so he immediately blew his beard and stared, cursing Wei Chenrui secretly in his heart.

After all, it was Wei Chenrui who brought up the scolding of Pei Qianhuo, and at this time he said that it was wrong to scold Pei Qianhuo.

It's just that, after all, she is her own daughter, so she still has to give her face, so she can only scold inwardly, and she doesn't scold in public.

Wei Chenrui couldn't fail to see such obvious anger, and he also knew that the emperor must be scolding him in his heart, but he didn't really care.

Seeing that the emperor was only angry and didn't speak, Wei Chenrui continued: "I believe that no matter how much we pursue responsibility for this matter at this time, it will not help the matter. The most urgent thing is to appease the good students."

"Er Chen suggested that the results of the imperial examination should be cancelled, the exam questions should be reissued, and the exam should be retaken at another date."

To be honest, this is indeed the top priority now, and anyone with a discerning eye knows it, and the emperor is no exception.

However, in order to show that he was not dictatorial, the emperor still asked the ministers for their opinions: "My lords, what do you think of what the Empress Dowager said?"

Unexpectedly, there were still people who objected.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed in the long run."

It was Chen Qingyu, the Minister of Rites who spoke.

This person, Wei Chenrui, knew that he was a neutral faction, and he was not in the same league as Pei Qianhuo, so he probably wouldn't be involved in fraudulent imperial examinations.

Before Wei Chenrui could speak, Chen Qingyu continued: "I just went through an imperial examination, which was very exhausting for the students, and it took me a while to recover. This is one of them."

"The emperor's list has already been posted. Saying that it is invalid at this time will damage the prestige of the imperial court. This is the second."

"The examiner will naturally have to re-select the topic and make a new one. This is a big project, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. This is the third."

Chen Qingyu's consideration was not unreasonable, he was seeking truth from facts.

Of course, Wei Chenrui naturally thought of these things, and there is naturally a solution, otherwise she wouldn't have said this.

"Master Chen's consideration is not unreasonable, but none of these are problems for this hall."

There was an uproar in the court, no one wanted to believe that Wei Chenrui could solve this problem, and they all started talking, and the more they talked, the more they went too far.

Can the emperor let people talk about his daughter? Of course he can't!

He slapped the dragon chair suddenly: "Is Dangchao Hall a vegetable market?"

"So you can say it, why did you become dumb when I asked you just now?"

Now, no one dared to speak anymore, very honestly.

Only now did Wei Chenrui have the opportunity to continue: "My Highness has naturally considered the problems Mr. Chen mentioned, and he has also come up with corresponding solutions."

"As Mr. Chen said, the issue of damaging the prestige of the imperial court, this palace holds a negative attitude."

"Knowing that there are problems in the imperial examination and not canceling the test results, it will be a fatal blow to the students."

"Physically tired, rest for a few days, eat something good, and take care of yourself, and you will be able to recover."

"However, the fatigue in my heart is not so easy to recover."

"Ten years of hard study, but you can't pay for other people's money to pave the way. If it were you, what would you think?"

"To put it bluntly, if someone has the strength, it is even possible to oppose the imperial court."

"Therefore, canceling the test results will not only not damage the prestige of the imperial court, but will also enhance the prestige of the imperial court."

"Who can avoid making mistakes, know the mistakes and correct them, and there is nothing good about it!"

"As for the time-consuming, labor-intensive and money-consuming problems, it's easy to handle."

"My hall is not talented, but I still have a small amount of assets. The cost of the imperial examination is paid by this hall itself, and the court does not need to pay a copper coin."

"As for the question, this hall believes that all the adults at the station can participate, including the military officer!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar.

This is an unprecedented move, just like Wei Chenrui becoming a princess, unprecedented.

Knowing that the ministers would object, Wei Chenrui was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "The unprecedented princesses have already appeared, what else can't be done? You have to try, don't you?"

That's right, the empress dowager accepted it, it's just a question, it doesn't seem to be unacceptable.

After a while, all the civil servants accepted Wei Chenrui's proposal.

However, the military officer disagreed. I was sleepy while reading, so how could I come up with a topic? Isn’t this embarrassing? I disagree with life and death.
