Chapter 99 Resignation
Now that the leak of the exam questions has become public, it is understandable to conduct a thorough investigation, but what really makes people hesitate is the candidate for the thorough investigation.

"My minister thinks that this matter involves the foundation of the country and should not be underestimated. We should order the third division to thoroughly investigate this matter, so as to rectify the court's policy." Wu Wangjin said.

"Your Majesty, I think it is impossible." Zheng Hong immediately came out to refute, and he seemed to mean something: "Among the deputy examiners of this scientific examination, the Dali Temple Minister and the son of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are among the candidates for the scientific examination. Song Shilang from Dali Temple and Duan Shaoqing from Dali Temple are also one of the chief examiners. Even if you don’t avoid your relatives in the selection of talents, the imperial examination is a matter of national origin, and it is a big matter, so there must be no risk."

Su Changtai also agreed, "Yes, General Zheng's words are reasonable. Now, among the three divisions, senior officials of two divisions have been involved, and it is inappropriate to ask them to investigate the case. The officials of these two divisions should avoid suspicion. Yes."

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple refused to accept it, but they could not refute the other party because they were suspected of melons and plums.

Even Meng Songyan couldn't refute this point.

And what he said meant something, the officials under Li Xia in Guatian were actually more than just high-ranking officials of the two divisions. You must know that the candidate for the deputy examiner this time was personally drawn up by Meng Taifu and Wu Wang.It's just that with Su Changtai's qualifications, he didn't dare to challenge these two people openly.

Guan Zhi suppressed the pride in his eyes, and took another look at Rong Zhi.

Rong Zhi pursed his lips, he knew what it meant, it was a signal for him to speak.Having said that, the officials of the third division have no power to compete with him. As long as he fights a little bit, he can take charge of this case.

As long as the investigation is carried out according to Guan Zhi's request, he will be able to rise to the top smoothly.

How did things come to this point? Even though we knew that the Shence Army would never let Zhan Qirui go, but according to Guan Zhi's character, he should be able to win the imperial examination by taking advantage of the stolen goods, not so early the shot ah.

There must be someone pushing it forward.

Zhao Yu...

Rong Zhi suddenly remembered.In this Wangjing city, there are not only eunuchs who are doing evil, but also countless spies.They hibernate in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to nibble away at Northern Qi step by step.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Rong Zhi finally stood up, his face was full of sternness, but his words seemed so incompatible with his righteousness, "Actually, a few days ago, this minister, through When I was in a restaurant, I saw someone suspected of selling exam questions. It’s just that I’m not an examiner after all, I don’t know the exam questions, and the matter of the imperial examination involves two high-ranking officials and the face of the royal family. I dare not play it easily, for fear of disturbing the audience So I went overboard and investigated without authorization. I had just investigated some clues today, but I never thought that General Zheng would take the first step before he had time to play."

His words are flattering and biting.It is indeed like a eunuch's henchman.

When the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple heard what he said, they wished they could tear him to pieces. He kept saying "don't dare to play lightly", which seemed to be how vicious they were.However, he stepped on them to ascend to the throne and became a pure and upright minister.

Yushitai is also one of the three divisions, when Rong Zhi opened his mouth at this time, his intentions were clearly revealed, he not only wanted to grab the job to Yushitai, but also wanted to monopolize the matter.

Emperor Yuan Jia looked surprised.

Guan Zhi also seemed quite surprised, he said: "Is that so? Your Majesty, Yushitai is also one of the three divisions. Since Rong Yushi is already investigating, why don't you hand over this matter to Rong Yushi, and Rong Yushi will take care of you?" It is perfectly appropriate that Yushi is not involved in the sale of exam questions."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not." King Wu said quickly, he deeply hated eunuchs and their party members, and for a moment he didn't care that he was still suspected, he said quickly: "Your Majesty, there are many things involved in this case. How can it be done by one person? And it involves six high-ranking officials, Rong Yushi is still young, how can he convince the crowd?"

"Would King Wu have a better candidate?" Guan Zhi asked with a smile.

"Meng Taifu is old enough to seek the country, isn't it enough to investigate this matter?" Song Yunyan spoke first.

Rong Zhi frowned, both the King of Wu and Meng Songyan secretly had bad ideas.It's good that Song Yunyan didn't mention this matter, if it were mentioned, wouldn't it give Guan Zhi a reason to make use of the topic.

But Guan Zhi's complacency almost overflowed, and he said hesitantly: "The Taifu is for the country and the people, and he is loyal to the emperor and the country. There is no doubt about it. It's just that only the emperor and the Taifu knew about the imperial examination questions before that, and after that Seal it with a seal. It is impossible for the Holy Majesty to reveal it. Although the servants trust the Taifu, it is a pity that this is a big matter, so how can they be careless? Anyone involved in it must be investigated, how can they let Where is the Tai Tuo as the person who investigates the case?"

In other words, Meng Songyan is the most suspected of this matter, so why should he be called to investigate this matter?

The reason why they don't mention Meng Songyan's matter is that Meng Songyan is highly respected, but you, Meng Songyan, should have self-knowledge.If they don't mention this matter, it would be too shameless for you to bump into it yourself.

And there is another meaning to these words, Meng Songyan is highly respected and respected by the emperor and teacher, who would dare to investigate him?But if you don't check, how can you convince the public?

Having said that, almost everyone's eyes were on Meng Songyan, and he had no choice but to stand up and express his opinion.

"Before the exam questions were sealed, only the minister and the Holy One knew the content of the exam questions. Up to now, the minister is actually the most suspected, but the minister is confident and upright, frank and frank, and is not afraid of any investigation." At this point, he paused After a while, he slowly took off his official hat, and solemnly put his official hat and jade wat on the ground, "I am willing to temporarily relinquish my official position, and I hope the Holy One will agree."

Emperor Yuan Jia was startled, he himself didn't expect things to happen to this point, looking at the old figure in front of the palace, he suddenly felt a little unbearable, "Why is this so? Telling me about the matter shows that the Taifu is magnanimous."

"My lord..." Meng Songyan pursed his lips.

Even though he knew it was not good to say it in secret, he immediately understood Emperor Yuan Jia's intolerance and hesitation, and he quickly said: "The sage has learned that slaves and servants will never coerce the resignation of the Tai Tuo, it's just a matter of the country and the face of the emperor. Only the servants said this. Now that the Taifu is stepping down, the servants really must die!"

Meng Songyan looked at Guan Zhi suddenly, his eyes that had experienced years and vicissitudes were like a sharp knife, cutting straight into Guan Zhi's heart in broad daylight.

Guan Zhi was startled, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Emperor Yuan Jia also frowned when he heard the words, the original can't bear to fade away.

"The supervisor has something to say. This matter involves the country, and the humble minister must avoid suspicion." Meng Songyan said persistently.
