Abandoned daughter by a genius doctor: King Leng's favorite concubine

Chapter 2502 Let Him Go

The emperor didn't expect it either, but he felt that it was true. The emperor knew something about Mr. Zheng's situation.

"Master Zheng passed the exam at a young age. I had just ascended the throne at that time. I have read Master Zheng's exam paper. I remember that the reason why I reused him was because the content of the exam paper was to ask, how to do it well?" what you want to do."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember what happened so many years ago?"

"At that time, I also read other people's writings. I have forgotten how others wrote them. Only Mr. Zheng wrote them. I still remember some. Mr. Zheng said that he wanted to be an official since he was a child, and he wanted to be a good official. To be honest, since his family has a lot of money, there is no need to worry about him taking bribes, I thought it was quite interesting, so I let him come from behind."

"Come from behind?"

"Well, in that year, the top three had already been decided. At that time, there was no Mr. Zheng."

"That is to say, Mr. Zheng didn't pass the exam?"

"Yes, he has a good literary talent, but his writing is too realistic, so he didn't pass the exam. However, it was later found out that one of them was cheating, which means that another position was vacated. At that time, three candidates were sent to me. With only one examination paper, Mr. Zheng stood out and became a substitute."

Ye Lingxi understood: "So, this matter was actually manipulated by Mr. Chen secretly. The examinee who was found to be cheating may not have cheated, and Mr. Zheng was also a substitute because of his ability? But, Mr. Zheng Since you are talented, if you can’t do it this year, you can talk about it next year, as the emperor said just now, Master Zheng is still young.”

"Yes, Mr. Zheng has been conscientious and conscientious all these years. He has never made any mistakes, but he has never done anything outstanding. In short, he is just as I told you, he is too low-key."

"Your majesty, the courtiers think that there is something tricky about it. Ordinary people are young and vigorous. The emperor admired Mr. Zheng's examination paper at the beginning, naturally it was because the words on it touched the emperor, right?"

"That's right, because he said he wouldn't take bribes, that's why I chose him."

"That's right, I also think that what Mr. Zheng said at that time is credible, because he is innocent, has no intentions, and his thinking is relatively simple, but why do people who don't want to do this kind of thing end up as an official in the form of buying an official?" What about the official?"

"I can see clearly that the person on the roster is not Mr. Zheng himself, but a member of his family. I think that person should be his father."

Ye Lingxi pondered for a while and then understood.

"Your Majesty said just now that Mr. Zheng wrote on the examination paper that his family had silver, so is it possible that Mr. Zheng did not know about the matter of buying an official? Otherwise, he must have known the content of the examination paper in advance and wrote it according to the best way. , and then hand it in and wait to be selected.”

"You're right, I think so too, and that's why I have a headache. How should I deal with Mr. Zheng?"

"Your Majesty, if Mr. Zheng is a good official, why should you care about how he became an official in the first place? The Emperor also said that he has literary talents. The courtiers think that the roster is hateful, but the hateful thing is that those words are used as money. Shangguan, those who do not work for the common people are not those good people."

"Then what do you mean, let's forget about Mr. Zheng?"

"The emperor must not be reconciled."

"I'm not unwilling, but angry."

"Your majesty, my servant has a way. I don't know if the emperor is willing to test this Mr. Zheng. Is it worth it for you to let him go?"
