Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 226 Li Yuan's Dissatisfaction!Search the examiner!

"My lord."

Zheng Rentai immediately rode up to meet him.

Li Yuan looked at the soldiers of the Huben Guards around him, his expression darkened: "How could the Tiger Guards guarding the imperial city leave their posts at will, leaving the imperial city's defenses empty!"

Zheng Rentai understood that this was not asking how he could leave his post at will, but how he dared to leave his post without my order.

"My lord, this transfer order was issued by Li Sima from the Ministry of War. He said that my lord will come to the Tribute Court and let the last general come to stabilize the situation first, lest..."

Zheng Rentai knew that the relationship between Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, and his own Duke had always been relatively close.

Li Yuan nodded after listening to his words, and warned:

"Forget it this time, but you are in Hubenwei, you have to remember one thing, the safety of the imperial city is always the top priority."

"I will understand at the end."

Zheng Rentai bowed his head slightly, knowing that this time there is no problem.

"Walk."

Li Yuan led a group of generals to ride their horses forward, all the way to the gate of the Gongyuan, then got off the horse, and bowed their hands to the censors in front of them.

"Yao Yushi, Liu Yushi..."

The dignified Duke can call out the names of every censor and small official, which undoubtedly flatters everyone.

Even Yao Ziang greeted Li Yuan with a slight smile.

"The lower official has seen the Duke."

"No need to be polite."

Li Yuan just waved his hand, and immediately asked the censors about the exam questions.

Speaking of business, Yao Ziang looked serious, and took out a note from his sleeve: "My lord, please read it."

Li Yuan took it solemnly, unfolded it, and found that it was a sentence.

"Could it be that..."

"Such notes have been circulating in the capital since more than half a month ago."

Yao Ziang's face was extremely solemn: "Sell it to the candidates participating in the general examination at a price of one 200 taels of silver, or as many as thousands of taels of silver!"

A look of resentment appeared on his face: "And after the first exam today, the officer and his colleagues discovered that the first big question of this exam is actually the sentence written on this note!"

"The person behind the scenes, who sabotaged the examination, where did he put the court regulations and laws?"

The public examination is the only channel to supply fresh blood to the civil official group, so as long as the civil official has not been completely overwhelmed by greed, he hates this kind of thing very much.

Usually there is no cheating in the test, but all of them are controlled within a very small range.

It's just opening the back door to a few or a dozen related accounts, which is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for thousands of Jinshi in one subject.

Most of the people in the pilot test have real talents and real learning.

But the impact of the sales test questions this time is too great, even affecting thousands of candidates who participated in the examination!

I can't afford it alone, can't I still put together the bill?Who said that I can only watch it when I buy it?
With such a thought, there are now thousands of people who know the exam questions in advance!

This thing is not easy, it is impossible to split a sentence into several sentences and sell it in several parts.

Because it is not allowed to cut and match questions in the big questions of the test, all the questions must be coherent sentences in the scriptures. As long as you give half a sentence, people will practice all the sentences before and after, and there will be no problem.

So there are a lot of Juren who got the exam questions this year!

In previous years, more than 1000 people were taken in a general test, and now there are more people who know the questions than the pilot test!How can I take this test?
If this matter is really exposed so unclearly, what will the court face?
Several censors and officials behind Yao Ziang also showed resentment on their faces, secretly scolding the people behind the scenes for their ugly eating.

The person who can get the test questions so many days in advance will not be a simple character.

But he actually took this thing out and sold it for money. Are you really so short of money?
"The people behind this scene are really daring!"

Li Yuan's face was also extremely livid, and he secretly clenched his fists as he thought of something.

Seeing his reaction like this, all the officials calmed down their anger a little bit, and all secretly praised Duke Tang Guo for his sincerity and justice.

"Your Excellency came to the Tribute Academy, presumably to deal with this matter, and give the candidates some justice, right?"

Yao Ziang looked at him expectantly: "I am not a talented person, I hope to help the Duke find out this matter, and I will definitely not let a culprit behind the scenes go!"

Several other censors also responded one after another, everyone's old line of business is this, and today they ran to the gate of the Gongyuan to enjoy the cool breeze in the cold weather. Apart from upholding justice, no one has any intention of earning some performance up?

Facing the expectant gazes of these censors and officials, the curious eyes of people on the sidelines...

Li Yuan opened his mouth, and then said with a hearty smile: "With the help of all the adults, we will definitely be able to find out the truth of this matter!"

The censors were overjoyed and thanked hurriedly.

It's just that before he could finish his thank you, Li Yuan changed his voice again and frowned slightly.

"It's just that in the imperial decree that my country's official received just now, it only said that my country's official should investigate the matter of leaking the test, but no one else was mentioned."

"So it's not easy for the Duke of the country to bring you to the Tribute Academy for a while."

The censors were startled when they heard the words, and a bit of disappointment inevitably appeared on their faces.

"But they are all experienced censors. If there is no help from you, I'm afraid I can't find anything with my country's public."

Li Yuan said to the censors again: "So I will wrong you for a moment first, please wait for me in the Gong Yuan first, and wait for my country's officials to go inside to investigate clearly, and then pass on the information found to you adults."

"At that time, I will trouble you all and help my country to analyze whether there are any omissions..."

Hearing the words of being needed by the Duke and not being able to investigate the case by themselves, the censors seemed to have eaten two catties of cotton candy, and their whole bodies were about to float. How could they care about other things?

If you just told them that you can't go to the Tribute Court to investigate the case, even if it was Li Yuan who said it, there must be some people who would not like it.

But now it's just another way of saying it, and the effect is suddenly different.

Even Yao Ziang's face turned red, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "It's the duty of the lower officials to investigate this matter, now you dare to do your best for the Duke!"

Li Yuan smiled in satisfaction, nodded slightly, and was about to walk into the tribute courtyard.

But at this time, there was suddenly the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the street.

As soon as the group of people at the gate of the Gongyuan looked over, they saw a group of civil servants in scarlet robes galloping in on horseback.

"My lord."

Wei Zheng came to the front and dismounted, bowed his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty has a decree, let me and Yushitai assist the Duke and Lord, and together investigate the matter of leaking the test questions."

Li Yuan's face froze slightly, and then he smiled and bowed his hands in return: "With Doctor Wei's help, this matter is no problem."

The censors behind almost cheered even more.

Now with His Majesty's will, they can justifiably go to the Gongyuan to investigate the case!

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he stopped talking, but quietly waited for Li Yuan to make a decision on what to do first.

After all, the order he received was to help Tang Guogong investigate, not to investigate by himself.

Several censors following behind Wei Zheng looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan paused on the spot for a moment, then raised his head with a solemn expression on his face: "Since this is the case, there is no need to delay, and immediately enter the Gongyuan!"

The civil servants and generals surrounding him responded in unison, and then Zheng Rentai led several teams of tiger guards to the Gongyuan.

"From now on, the Tribute Academy will be taken over by Tiger Benwei!"

Zheng Rentai shouted loudly, and the tiger guards behind him all stepped forward.

Under the command of an adjutant, the soldiers of Dongcheng Bingma Division hastily vacated key positions around the tribute courtyard and retreated back into the tribute courtyard.

Now they are also suspected of leaking the exam questions, and have to go back to the Tribute Court to wait for review.

The Ju people who had finished the exam were still walking out. Seeing this situation, some turned pale, some were full of curiosity, and they all gave way to these people who seemed to have high official positions.

Li Yuan and his party passed through Longmen and Ermen all the way, and came directly to the vicinity of the examination room.

All relevant officials who passed along the way were controlled by Hubenwei.

With a creak, the door of the Gongyuan was opened.

Wang Mang, who was sitting quietly in front of him, immediately turned his head and looked over.

Beside him, Song Qiaonian, who had been fidgeting since hearing the movement outside, turned his head and looked over as if he had been electrocuted.

When they saw Li Yuan and the censors headed by Wei Zheng, everyone was startled.

"My lord? Doctor Wei?"

Wang Mang stood up, frowned and walked up quickly: "Now the Tribute Court is still holding the test, how did you get in?"

The candidates below also noticed the strange situation outside, and seemed to know that there was an accident in the examination room.

But they were in the cell and could not see what was going on outside at all, so they had to prick up their ears to listen.

Li Yuan looked around the examination room, and waved his hand instead of answering Wang Mang's words first.

Zheng Rentai immediately understood, and with an order, the tiger guards stepped forward one by one, guarding all the exits of the examination room.

Watching these people's actions, Wang Mang's complexion changed slightly, but he didn't make a sound to stop them.

Li Yuan is the uncle of the Duke and the Emperor, and Wei Zheng is the first rank of the dynasty, so the actions of these two people must not be aimless.

It wasn't until the tiger guards everywhere were in place that Li Yuan turned his head to look at Wang Mang, and explained, "Uncle Da Zong, forgive me, the Duke of this country received the imperial decree to find out the mastermind behind the leak of the exam questions, so he had to make a bad move."

Exam questions leaked?

Wang Mang was stunned, Song Qiaonian was stunned, the outer curtain officials in the examination room, and the candidates who heard this were all stunned.

"Duke..."

Wang Mang wanted to ask something else, but was stopped by Li Yuan.

"Don't need to say too much, Uncle Dazong. Now that His Majesty and all the lords in the court have discovered this matter, Dr. Wei has come here specially to assist the country's public in investigating the case."

Wang Mang swallowed the words back into his stomach, nodded silently: "I understand."

After speaking, he walked back to his seat and sat down.

Li Yuan's words were clear, since His Majesty and most people in the court have reached a consensus, and this matter has spread, then it is firmly established.

If there is nothing, it must become something, otherwise where will the face of the court be put?

What's more, this thing was not so clean in the first place.

Song Qiaonian originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Mang sitting back, he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say what was in his heart.

Now, both the outer curtain officials and the candidates knew that this exam could not go on.

Many candidates who didn't know how to leak the questions stared blankly at the examination paper in front of them.

After tossing and tossing for three days and three nights, it was useless in the end?

Outside, Li Yuan looked around the rows of rooms with cold eyes, hesitating in his eyes which is rare.

Until he left here, he didn't say anything about searching the candidates on the spot.

Up to now, although the matter has become serious, there is still room for it. As long as a few culprits are found out and the responsibility is shifted to them, then the others will be innocent and the court will be fine.

But if such a search is really carried out and thousands of candidates with cheat sheets are found, it will be very difficult to end.

If outsiders were to know that these quasi-jinshi, who are normally high-ranking Juren, are so shameless and dignified behind their backs, what would others think?
What would the common people think of the officials who had passed the examination?Will they find that those high-ranking officials standing in the temple are all shameless people...

With a lot of thoughts, Li Yuan still didn't let people search the Juren here, but directly took his soldiers and horses to the north of Feihong Bridge.

That's where the big game is.

The exam questions were circulated half a month ago. At that time, there was still a lot of dust and mud on the side of the exam room. On the contrary, there were already many examiners living in the north of the Gongyuan.

The questions were given by the chief examiner and deputy examiner, and after being confirmed by His Majesty the emperor, they were also stored in the northern part of the Gongyuan, so the most likely place to leak the questions is there.

The soldiers guarding in front of the Feihong Bridge had already received the news, and they were waiting for Li Yuan under the Feihong Bridge.

"At the end of the day, I will see my lord."

"No need to be polite."

Li Yuan waved his hand, and at the same time let Hubenwei's people take over the defense here again.

Then Hubenwei entered the north of Feihong Bridge, and invited the inner curtain officials to the square here.

"My lord."

Cai Jing led Han Mulu and a group of inner curtain officials to come, and he bowed his hands to Li Yuan from a long distance away: "It's so mobilizing the teachers and mobilizing the crowd, I wonder what happened in the Gong Yuan?"

Standing on the bridge, Li Yuan also bowed his hands to him: "Lord Cai, my country's Duke also did it according to his orders, so please forgive me for offending you adults."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the general Hubenwei behind him: "Search!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Pairs of heavily armed tiger guards rushed out like a pack of wolves, towards the official residence where the examiners lived.

Then Bao Xuan, the royal censor in a scarlet robe, took a deep look at the examiners, followed in the footsteps of Hu Benwei, and went to search.

"What is this going to do..."

"My lord, what does this mean?"

"We are examiners of the imperial court, not prisoners..."

Some people became angry from embarrassment, some were thoughtful, Han Mulu's complexion was a little pale, but he still pretended to be calm.

Cai Jing's complexion was a bit ugly: "My lord, may I ask what happened?"

Li Yuan shook his head, but Wei Zheng stood up, stared at Cai Jing closely, and explained, "Don't Master Cai know?"

"The exam questions were leaked. This meeting has been interrupted. Now the court wants to find out. Who did this?"

Exam questions leaked?

Cai Jing looked at Wei Zheng in disbelief, as if he was greatly shocked by the news.

The other examiners were also dumbfounded.

The test was interrupted, how many years has this happened?
