Work overtime

Chapter 262 The Road to the Imperial Examination
Before the early dynasty, officials of the fourth rank and above gathered outside the Meridian Gate as usual.

Last night, the sky prison in Dali Temple was on fire, and the story of someone robbing the prison was quickly spread.

There was a lot of discussion.Everyone guessed who the person who robbed the prison was.

When the vacancy of Dali Siqing's full-time job came out, everyone secretly pondered in their hearts who should be nominated to fill the vacancy in the morning.

Everyone guessed that the Holy Majesty might be in a bad mood today, it is better to be modest and cautious.

In fact, Li Beichen was indeed furious.

How dare someone rob the sky prison, there is no law in sight, and a thorough investigation is needed.

Han Zhongzai was commended.

Han Zhongzai wiped out the bandit dens outside the Thirty-mile Mountains, and fought bravely against the prison robbers in the middle of the night. He was seriously injured, and after emergency rescue, he died heroically to appease his family and relatives.

Doing the opposite, firstly, to paralyze the opponent, secondly, to bring hatred to him, and thirdly, to test public opinion and the reaction of subordinates.

Wang Jinbaoxiao, the leader of the bandit and murder organization, was first shown to the public, and his head was hung outside the city gate.According to the hiding place of the banknotes he re-accounted for, look for the banknotes.

During the continued investigation of Mrs. Liang, a distribution record book of middle-aged and elderly drugs was found in a secret institution of the house.It turned out that many ministers in the imperial court were his clients.One of the largest customers is Tianxiang Building.

It turned out that his relationship with Tianxianglou belonged to a team of external experts.He provided such stimulant pills to Tianxianglou, and Tianxianglou used the services of the young lady to pay for the pills.

So there is no such thing as Imperial Physician Liang needing a lot of silver to play with young ladies.

Dali Temple did not disclose the specific content of the account book, but Li Beichen got the account book, and the second customer was Meng Zi, the youngest son of Meng Xiang's family.The third largest customer is Chen Zhanghan, the only son of Chen Xiang's family.Both of them are regular customers of Tianxianglou.

Further investigation found that both Chen Xiang and Meng Xiang had been to Tianxianglou.They have slept with Mo Niang, but that doesn't mean anything.

At most, men are lustful?
It sounds like Tianxianglou is a place where various parties communicate and collude, rather than being as glamorous as it appears on the surface.What secret is hidden in Tianxiang Tower?

It is still impossible to explain why Physician Liang concealed the fact that Xi Ronghua was pregnant.

This line is a dead end.

That strange boy who weighed heavily and was bleeding from the mouth and nose never appeared again.This line also seems to hit a dead end.

The Imperial Physician quickly found a successor from the Imperial Physician's family at the Imperial Hospital, and assembled a set of replicas, including two female imperial physicians.The Affiliated Research Institute of Taiyuan Hospital led by Jiang Xian also quickly formed a team of members.

Fifty medical students have been trained and allocated places according to the population, and they have already gone directly.The notice to collect detoxification prescriptions from all over the country was also issued.More than a dozen prescriptions have been collected.Jiang Xian is leading the team and is examining its effectiveness and side effects.

The post of Minister of Dali Temple is vacant and temporarily idle.One month later, he was succeeded by the winner of the two young ministers.

The Chunwei Examination has ended at this time, and the number of admissions has been increased from [-] to [-], increasing the scale of talent recruitment.The "president" of the chief examiner is Murong Chi, and [-] officials from the Imperial Academy will serve as room officials to review the papers. The list is to be determined.

Meng Xiang submitted the list of members of the Southern Disaster Relief, Plague Control, and Production Protection Comprehensive Working Group, a total of six members.Li Beichen, on the grounds of being familiar with the business and caring for the people, arranged his cousin Li Keqin, who was a member of the household department, Wai Lang, Zhang Feiyue, the servant of the Ministry of Industry of Chen Xiangyi's party, and Youqian Governor Shi of the Inspectorate, into the working group.

It is equivalent to replacing half.

In fact, this is also the tacit understanding between Meng Xiang and the emperor.Definitely have to replace half of it.

It is uncomfortable for the leader not to move the knife, and he always feels that there is something tricky in the plan.

Then Li Beichen announced that referring to the model of the Southern Disaster Relief Working Group, Chen Xiang organized the establishment of the Western Drought and Locust Disaster Relief Working Group, and led the team to Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi and other places for disaster relief.

Just when everything seemed to be running in order, a young eunuch came to report that outside the Meridian Gate of the palace, a commoner dressed as a scholar was about to ring the Qinglong Bell.

Thirty boards are being paid in advance at this time.

This is Taizu's time, in order to prevent the rich and powerful from deceiving the upper and lower, and the common people cannot appeal for grievances, and encourage honest and honest reporting.

Both officials and common people can ring the bell to pray for injustice.But you have to go through the [-] boards first to show your ambition, and avoid ringing the bell blindly, which means that there is a huge injustice for ringing the bell.

Almost everyone in the hall looked at each other in panic.

Li Beichen patted the armrest of the dragon chair and sighed, "I didn't expect someone to ring the Azure Dragon Bell in my hands. Do you have anything to say?"

This Azure Dragon Bell has only been struck once since its establishment, and this is the second time.

The last time it was Taizu, the son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials and other aristocratic children raped the women in the wild, raped them to death in turn, threw their bodies in the wilderness, and forced the family to accept money for personal gain.

In order to seek justice, his father rang the green dragon bell.But after the grievances were redressed, the father passed away a few days later due to his severe injuries and excessive grief.

After Li Beichen's questioning, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak, and they didn't know where their mistakes were exposed.

When the young man who looked like a scholar was brought up with his back covered in blood, Minister of Rites' eyes jumped.

It is very likely that something happened in the Chunwei test.

Terrible.

"See the emperor. Luo Minxing, the official of Dali Temple, sued for fraud in this year's examination."

"Do you have evidence?"

"Yes. During the investigation of a fight in Tianxiang Building last month, we found a cheat sheet full of answers to the exam questions from Ye Zhuqing, the son of the suspected minister of labor, Ye Ming.

When reporting to the temple secretary Mr. Han, Mr. Han said that he might have written it silently after the exam for his father, Mr. Ye, to comment on.And it is not within the scope of the case acceptance content.

Weichen believes that whether leaking questions before the exam or marking them after the exam is extremely serious corruption in the imperial examination, which affects the fairness and sanctity of the imperial examination.Weichen thinks that this matter should be thoroughly investigated.If Ye Zhuqing didn't plagiarize, give him justice.If Ye Zhuqing plagiarized, it would be fair to all the students in the world! "

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

The three-year imperial examination is the basic system for the imperial court to recruit talents from the whole society, and it is almost the only way for all poor children to counterattack.

If there is fraud in the imperial examination, it will not only affect the selection of talents by the imperial court, but also arouse public anger and affect the trust in the imperial court.

Li Beichen was puzzled, it was Tianxiang Tower again, why the accident was always related to Tianxiang Tower.

Ye Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, changed his face and went out to kneel: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! The child Ye Zhuqing is a bit playful, but he has studied under Han Chunfu, a scholar of the Hanlin University since he was a child. He is smart and well-read poetry. There is no need for favoritism. Please enlighten the emperor!"

Ye Zhuqing was really smart since she was a child, and famous in the capital, she is not that kind of smug dandy.

All of a sudden, everyone's expressions were colorful and different.At least half of the people were relieved that they didn't eat melon.

Many people think this is quite strange.

Li Beichen looked gloomy: "Show me Ye Zhuqing's cheat sheet."

Spread out the cheat sheet to see that the handwriting is neat, the scroll surface is beautiful, the insight is deep, the organization is clear, and the writing is brilliant, it is really a masterpiece.

If Ye Zhuqing did it by herself, she would have been admitted without cheating at all.

Li Beichen was also full of doubts after reading it.

He didn't expect that after the news of Han Zhongzai's "death" spread, the first major case to surface turned out to be the imperial examination fraud case.

"No reason!"

Li Beichen pinched the cheat sheet and his expression sank.

"The Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs listen to the order. Now go with the imperial guards and arrest Ye Zhuqing. The Imperial Academy will seal the test paper and conduct a thorough investigation overnight! During this period, no one is allowed to visit Ye Zhuqing, otherwise they will be regarded as accomplices. .I must investigate and find out the truth within three days! Give an explanation to all the students in the world!"

The left and right ministers in front of the palace lowered their eyes, dressed in crimson robes, embroidered with large groups of flowers and cranes, respectfully performed the ceremony of the emperor and ministers, and their silent posture prevented the sight of other ministers, and those unknown speculations and peeps .

In the hall that was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling to the ground, Li Beichen remained silent, as if he was adjusting his breathing.

The majesty of the emperor was terrifying, and the hearts of all the ministers felt like a huge boulder weighed on their hearts, and they dared not breathe.

After all, if someone rang the Azure Dragon Bell today, the whole city knew about it.If there is one, there are two.

Will tomorrow's melon be late to my home? !
