Make a fuss?Yu Wenji's face darkened, who would dare to make trouble under his nose?
"What happened?"

The little eunuch, prostrate on the ground, spoke very fast: "His Royal Highness, there is a scholar outside the Xuanwu Gate, who gathered the people to gather a crowd to make trouble. He said that it was Mr. Gu from the Imperial Academy who accepted bribes to pass the examination and cheated. If you don’t do anything after getting the money, you will leave the money behind.”

Yu Wenji naturally knew about the cheating in the test, after all, this matter was also ordered by him.

He could tolerate Gu Hanlin filling his own pockets, after all, the people below also had to eat, but what he couldn't accept was that Gu Hanlin ate the food without telling him, and didn't give himself a share of the pie.

"Gu Aiqing, you are a veteran of the two dynasties, what do you have to say about this matter?"

Gu Hanlin was originally angry, and was thinking about how to kill Zhao Shun, when such a big matter suddenly brought up the court, he couldn't hold back his face anymore.

"Uh...Your Highness the Regent, this incident is simply non-existent."

"Really?" There was a little chill in the regent's eyes, he looked like a little eunuch, "Does the scholar have evidence?"

The little eunuch nodded, "He has the voucher and receipt written by Gu Hanlin himself. He said that he had reported this case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, but in the end it was nothing."

Gu Hanlin was chilled when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Yu Wenji would really get entangled in this matter.

This shows that the regent is angry now and is very dissatisfied with him, otherwise he would have sent troops to suppress the farce outside the city at this moment.

"Department of punishment?"

Yu Wenji's eyes swept over the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, this fat headed minister, who hadn't been to the Ministry of Justice for half a year, how could he know about this?

But after so many years of struggling in the officialdom, he is still very tactful if he can't do it.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know about this matter, and most of the people below stopped me."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked at Zhao Shun meaningfully, implying that Yu Wenji, Zhao Shun and Gu Hanlin were related.

What Yu Wenji likes most in his daily life is to test people's hearts and see how loyal his subordinates are to him.

And the best way to test people's hearts is to use family affection as a comparison to see what the courtiers can do for themselves.

Right now, Zhao Shun is Gu Hanlin's grandson-in-law, and he is cultivating a sharp sword. Whether this sword is willing to sever family affection for its master depends on this moment.

"Where is Zhao Tieshu, the minister of punishment?" the regent shouted.

"My humble minister is here." Zhao Shun took a step forward.

When Gu Hanlin saw that Zhao Shun was asked about the matter, he secretly thought that it was not good, this brat with evil intentions would definitely kill him.

"Your Highness, he is just a rookie, but he may not know it. Your Highness, why don't you ask other people."

Gu Hanlin tried his best to find a way to exonerate himself, but in the ears of the regent, these words became what Gu Hanlin wanted to say to protect Zhao Shun.

Yu Wenji sneered and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Gu Hanlin knew how cruel and ruthless the people in the Golden Luan Hall were. Seeing that Yuwen was very angry, he was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

Zhao Shun's face was as usual, and he replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness, I have indeed discovered this matter in the case of the Ministry of Punishment."

Yu Wenji looked at him with half-closed eyes, and asked: "That means, this matter is true."

Zhao Shun glanced at Gu Hanlin, showing a look of intolerance, as if he had engaged in a great ideological struggle.

"His Royal Highness, this matter is probably true."

Yu Wenji is very satisfied with Zhao Shun's performance, this is a qualified loyal dog, who betrayed his relatives for himself without hesitation.

Yu Wenji, who was sitting high on the Golden Luan Hall, looked at Gu Hanlin coldly, "Being a pillar of the imperial court, and doing this for these petty profits, really embarrasses the imperial court. What's even more ridiculous is that you actually tried to Qualified."

Gu Hanlin's heart plummeted, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, feeling that his life was over.

Yu Wenji waved his sleeve robe, and said loudly: "My king thinks that you are a minister of the humerus of the court, and you will inevitably lose your head at an advanced age. Why don't you just resign from the official position and go home to take care of yourself."

Hearing Yu Wenji's words, Gu Hanlin felt as if he had been slapped on the head with a stick. Not only did he fail to join the cabinet today, he even lost his official position.

"The Regent..." Gu Hanlin looked at the officials pleadingly like a helpless child, "Colleagues, please speak up for me."

As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and the drum breaks it, and everyone hammers it.

At this moment, no one stood up to help Gu Hanlin. In addition to being indifferent, it also showed that Gu Hanlin had no popularity at all.

Yu Wenji sneered, "It's settled like this, someone came and took off his official robe."

The matter of Gu Hanlin was a foregone conclusion, he was taken off his court uniform in a daze.

The little eunuch bowed his head and cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness, did that slave go to dismiss the people outside?"

"Hmph, these people dare to gather crowds to make trouble in front of the imperial palace. If everyone follows suit in the future, will the imperial court still be clean?" Yu Wenji's face turned frosty, "Go ask the people in Gyeonggi Province to take them away!"

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly left after taking the order.

Yu Wenji glanced over the crowd, and then said in a deep voice, "Retire!"

Gu Hanlin was escorted out by the forbidden army, and Zhao Shun never looked at him again.

Hubu Shangshu Meng Jin came to Zhao Shun's side unhurriedly, lowered his voice and asked, "You also prepared that person outside the palace gate?"

"Master Meng has noticed all of this." Zhao Shun admitted generously.

Meng Jin looked at him suspiciously, "Most people in Gyeonggi Province are going to arrest people now, why don't you come forward to protect your own people?"

Zhao Shun stood with his hands behind his back and smiled leisurely.

"Master Meng, how do you know that I haven't shown up?"

Meng Jin knew in his heart that Zhao Shun had been in the officialdom for less than a month, not only did he play tricks on Gu Hanlin, an old minister, but he was also able to drive Gao Sheng in Gyeonggi Prefecture at will.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate.

The guards at the gate of the imperial city blocked the rioting people headed by Wang Pingan from outside.

There were hundreds of people who came to make trouble, not only those who watched the fun, but also those invited by Yan Chongluan.

Although Zhao Shun didn't ask Yan Chongluan for help, Hongye agreed to be responsible for Wang Ping'an's safety.

There is a saying that the law does not blame the crowd, Yan Chongluan felt that the more people came, the more afraid the guards at the gate of the palace would be to do anything.

At the scene, the guards came forward to drive them away, and the guards formed a human wall to keep people out.

Wang Ping'an stood on the high platform built of wood, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Folks, the test is all shady, the court is unfair."

Hongye stood not far from him to prevent any guards from attacking him.

"Take away all the troublemakers here!"

After a loud shout, the policemen from Gyeonggi Prefecture rushed over.
