Diary of the Prince Regent's Favorite Wife

Chapter 111 Give an explanation to the scholars in the world

It is rare for the Dengwen Drum to sound once every five years, and only now when it sounds, people realize that it turns out that the Yan Dynasty's imperial complaint is not in name only.

The distant sound of the drum hit the eerily quiet Golden Luan Hall, and it seemed absurd to match the appearance of several veterans with a state of prosperity and peace for the people.

The sudden change suddenly interrupted the emperor's words, he could not see the annoyance of being interrupted in his expression, but calmly changed his posture and put down the booklet in his hand.

"Those who ring the Dengwen drum in the palace, if the words are not true, they will be sent to the frontier. Have you thought about it?"

The unhurried tone was extremely oppressive, and the little eunuch lowered his head, "Return to Your Majesty, this person swears that what he said is true."

"Then bring it in."

Many people couldn't help feeling sorry for Xie Chengyun when they heard the emperor's words. They didn't receive the reward when the emperor was in the right mood. Who knows if the emperor will change his mind and not let Xie Chengyun be promoted?

It was difficult to be ignored in such a stalemate atmosphere, Nan Gongchen straightened his back silently, looking forward to a good show that he carefully prepared.

Two guards dragged Xie Dazhuang like a prisoner and threw him to the center of the arena.

Looking up, there were many people in the dark, especially the man in yellow clothes at the top, Xie Dazhuang swallowed his saliva, and searched for Xie Chengyun uneasily.

After finally finding Xie Chengyun, seeing how chic the other party's official uniform is, enjoying the honor that should belong to him, Xie Dazhuang immediately became emboldened.

"Caomin wants to sue Xie Chengyun. He not only cheated, but also framed me!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the venue.

Who doesn't know that Xie Chengyun is the first three-yuan and number one scholar in the Yan Dynasty, how many students regard him as a role model in their hearts, and now he is involved in fraud, how can it not make people wonder?
Countless suspicious and malicious eyes poked Xie Chengyun, but the people in the center of the storm remained unmoved.

The emperor did not stop everyone from whispering, but looked at Xie Dazhuang who was dressed out of place, "Is there any evidence?"

"Yes! Cao Min kept Xie Chengyun's own answer sheet, which Cao Min obtained from Xie Chengyun's study."

Without waiting for the emperor's order, someone immediately presented the things to Ge Lao.

Mr. Li Ge carefully looked at the paper over and over again, his face became darker the more he looked at it, it seemed that it was really Xie Chengyun's handwriting, and the content of the paper was no different from the test questions.

"Caomin left Xie's mansion before the palace examination, so this paper can only be obtained by Caomin before the palace examination, which is enough to show that Xie Chengyun was exposed to the test questions before the palace examination." Xie Dazhuang finished according to the designed words, gritting his teeth.

Their plan is very simple, forge a handwritten paper by Xie Chengyun and bribe the examiner in advance, then it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, what matters is that Xie Chengyun's status in the suspicious emperor's heart will plummet.

Several pavilion elders exchanged glances at the paper, and finally looked at Xie Chengyun.

"Just a test paper can't explain anything. I suggest you start with the examiner." Zhao Ge said in a deep voice, he was still willing to believe in Xie Chengyun's character.

The corners of Nangongchen's lips in the crowd couldn't help but rise up. Quickly check, everyone will find that Xie Chengyun has indeed bribed the examiner. See how Xie Chengyun will explain it. Xie Chengyun must pay the price today.

The paper is just an introduction, the next confession of the examiner is the real trump card, it will put Xie Chengyun on the fire.

The chief examiner and several adults in charge of taking care of the papers were hanging their heads and pretending to be dumb. When they first heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted that they were wronged.

"Father, in my opinion, it's better to search the mansions of several adults to see if I can find any evidence." Nan Gongchen frowned and said with a look of contempt for the fraud.

The look of wanting to fight against injustices is as upright as a stern and selfless yamen servant.

"Not long ago, many officials' homes were ransacked, and now it is inappropriate to search the houses rashly, which may cause panic among the people."

From the beginning to the present, Xie Chengyun's thin lips parted slightly, and finally said the first sentence.

Nangong Chen was very comfortable listening, he was really scared!

What did you do long ago, now that you know that offending yourself has no good fruit?

"Could it be that you can't investigate what you did?" Nangong Chen snorted coldly, cupped his fists and saluted the emperor deeply, "Father, if you don't investigate this matter, won't the hearts of the students all over the world be chilled?"

He not only wanted the emperor to investigate, but also put Xie Chengyun, a hypocrite, into prison and severely punished him.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to investigate, it's just that I have brought evidence."

Xie Chengyun's cold phoenix eyes looked at Nan Gongchen and Xie Dazhuang without warmth, like looking at two clowns.

Then he stepped forward in a crimson gown, and handed over a roll of evidence amidst tens of thousands of suspicions.

The thin paper seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and Nangong Chen was smashed. Why did he feel that it looked like something he bought the examiner? No, it must be an illusion.

Eunuch Su took the things over and handed them over to the emperor after confirming that there were no hidden weapons.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the things at a glance. He didn't speak in a hurry, but tapped the dragon chair with his fingers one after another.

This voice hit the hearts of everyone in the hall again and again.

Nangongchen didn't care about acting anymore, and knelt down and shouted, "I beg my father to give an explanation to all the students in the world."

Xie Dazhuang saw Nangong Chen kneeling, so he dared not do anything, he kowtowed his head and swollen his forehead with all his strength.

"Then explain to me what this thing is?" The emperor threw the thing in front of Nan Gongchen with great interest, with a faint smile on his face.

Nan Gongchen didn't know why, so he crawled to pick up the things, and after seeing the top bank note clearly, his heartbeat was wrong, and he watched it with fear, and then froze in place as if he had seen a ghost.

This is all evidence that I bought the examiner, but why can Xie Chengyun get it?
Some people dare to betray the water, is it possible that Xie Dazhuang is lying to himself?
Seeing this, Xie Dazhuang was in a panic, and didn't know how to react for a while.

Thinking that he still has Jiang Sesur as a hostage, Nangongchen lowered his voice and didn't care about the disrespect in front of the palace. He gestured at Xie Chengyun, "Jiang Sesur is in my hand".

Fortunately, I am smart and know how to grasp Xie Chengyun's weakness, otherwise I would really be killed by Xie Chengyun today.Xie Chengyun is cunning and can see through his own schemes, but Jiang Sesu has always been simple-minded, so I'm afraid he is still sitting in the Huxin Pavilion and waiting for rescuers at this moment?

Unexpectedly, instead of seeing the panic on Xie Chengyun's face, he saw that Xie Chengyun bowed his hands to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not. The third prince seems to have been practicing bodyguards in the Huxin Pavilion in the suburbs recently. I don't know why a prince is practicing so much?"

The indifference and contempt in Xie Chengyun's eyes were clearly transmitted to Nangong Chen's eyes, and Nangong Chen's heart was trembling for a moment.
