Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 309
And what's interesting is that when Chen Shangshu came out to ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case, several people in the ranks of civil servants were obviously dissatisfied.

"What Aiqing said is very true, I have handed over this matter to the six sects last night, I believe they will give Zhou Langzhong an explanation.

Mr. Zhuge, Liu Aiqing, and Consultant Guo, as the main leaders of the Six Doors, do you want to give Chen Aiqing a guarantee, and let him know. "

The emperor replied with a smile, he didn't think about why Chen Shangshu didn't mention those officials anymore, but directly finalized the matter.

"Uh~, as the so-called art industry has specialization, we still believe in the methods of the three adults."

After listening to the emperor's order, Chen Shangshu pondered for a moment, then quickly answered.

"We will live up to Your Majesty's trust and bring to justice the murderer who killed Zhou Langzhong's family."

The three hurriedly came out and replied, the emperor had already spoken, and the case was related to Jianghu, how could they not come down.

Secondly, Zhang Chen also discussed the case with them yesterday, and they knew the hidden story, especially the emperor's attitude in it.

"I have one more thing to announce. I would like to ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of leaking questions in the imperial examination."

Then, Chen Shangshu raised another matter.

As soon as Chen Shangshu's words came out, there was a continuous uproar in the court, and the civil and military officials below lost their composure and began to whisper to each other.

Zhang Chen was taken aback by this situation, because from his point of view, these people's acting skills were really bad. They got the news early in the morning, but they still had to pretend to be shocked.

"They are too fake!"

Zhang Chen pointed Liu Ruoxin with his eyes, there are many masters in the hall, but Zhang Chen dare not transmit voice at will.

"Hmph~ This is politics."

Liu Ruoxin cast a glance and replied.

"Oh~ I don't know how Aiqing learned about it?"

The emperor also began to act, pretending to be ignorant.

"Your Majesty, many officials from the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of this spring were arrested last night. Isn't this because the exam questions were leaked?"

Chen Shangshu said bluntly, he didn't beat around the bush to remind, but directly put the facts in the court.

"Hmph, Chen Shangshu is well informed. We haven't arrested anyone here. Where did you get the news from?"

When Cao Zhengchun saw Chen Shangshu take a look at him, Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly, this matter was not done by their Dongchang, don't blame him for everything.

"Chunwei is a major event in the country. If the exam questions are really leaked, please His Majesty investigate thoroughly and give an explanation to the candidates who took the exam."

Chen Shangshu bowed again and said.

Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly! "

At this time, a tsunami-like shout sounded, and most of His Highness's officials shouted in unison.

This is the real purpose of their civil officials. They want to thoroughly investigate the case of leaking questions in the imperial examination. This is related to their reputation as officials. If they do not act, they will definitely be shamed by scholars.

They rely on the imperial examinations to enter the officialdom, and their base is on those scholars. Of course, the civil officials know how to make those scholars praise them. earn a good name.

Zhang Chen shook his head secretly, because he knew that these people were not really pushing for the court, but for their own fame and fortune. Chen Shangshu was just a representative.

"Your Majesty, we have also received news that this matter cannot be concealed, so please Your Majesty can send more people to find out the officials who were taken away in the shortest possible time. I would like to ask Your Majesty to hand them over to Dali Temple .”

The other great scholar said.

"Oh, why is it Dali Temple? Could it be that the six gates can't check this matter?"

The emperor looked at His Highness with a playful expression. He was very clear about the thoughts of the Grand Scholars. If these people went to Dali Temple, I am afraid that in the best case, they would hang themselves to death.

"I don't dare, it's just that the people involved in the case are all officials of the imperial court, and the matter of the six-door album is really inconsistent with their powers."

The Grand Maester quickly explained that on the bright side this explanation was impeccable, but everyone present understood what the Grand Maester meant.

Zhuge Shenhou and the others did not speak, but continued to remain silent. They should not get involved in this occasion.

"What you said seems to make sense, but what do you think of Cao Zhengchun?"

The emperor touched his chin, and then turned his gaze to Cao Zhengchun.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the Grand Scholar said that Six Doors has no authority to handle this case, then I don't know if my Dongchang has the right to handle it."

Cao Zhengchun looked at the Grand Scholar and replied.

The bachelor's face turned blue when he heard this.

"Alright, since Cao Aiqing has taken over this matter, I'll leave it up to you."

As soon as the emperor clapped his hands, he handed over the fate of those officials to Cao Zhengchun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Cao Zhengchun replied with a salute.

Do you have any objections? "

After Cao Zhengchun replied, the emperor glanced at the remaining officials in the hall and asked.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection!"

At this time, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone in the hall saluted again and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise." The deterrent power of Dongchang is much stronger than that of the six doors.

"How about you, a bachelor?"

The emperor looked at the grand maester again.

"The old minister has no objection."

The Grand Maester shook his head, then returned to the queue with a sigh.

...............

In this way, Chen Shangshu started the rhythm of the Great Court Meeting, and in the following time, the ministers began to play one after another.

And Zhang Chen yawned boredly. He imagined that the courtiers had no verbal confrontation. For such a long time, only the first one was related to the case of the bureau leaking the questions, and the rest were all about other things. National affairs.

Time passed like this, and when he came back to his senses, the sun slowly climbed to the center of the sky, and it was already time for lunch.

But the officials in the hall didn't seem to know, how many people handed over the papers, and there seemed to be many people behind them.

The emperor was also a little impatient. After solving a memorial, taking advantage of the chance that no one came forward again, he gave the little eunuch a look. Near noon, His Majesty has already prepared a luncheon for you adults, and please move to the side hall to enjoy it."

Hearing the little eunuch's words, the officials saluted the emperor respectfully, and then they all started to leave. They bowed their heads and walked through the gate of the main hall, step by step, without any impatience.

The emperor looked at these departing officials, and his mood gradually calmed down. He also began to step down from the throne, and turned to walk towards the inner palace.

After the two parties left, Zhang Chen and Liu Ruoxin slowly walked out of the hall, and they stood at the door of the store looking into the distance.

"It's really disappointing."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said.

"The people who can achieve this position are all very deep in the city. It is not easy to make them fight with each other. A small case of imperial examination fraud can't break their defenses."

Liu Ruoxin then replied that she had followed Wang Zhi several times in this hall, and she had a general understanding of those important figures in the court.

　Thanks for the support!
