Biography of Ilha in Qing Chuan

Chapter 53

A few days later, the emperor saw the Jiangning mansion's booklet, and immediately summoned several ministers including Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Tingyu, and Xiong Cilu.Several people came outside Qianqing Palace, but the eunuch on duty only pouted quietly, but did not dare to pass the word inside.Suddenly there was a crisp sound of "pop" inside, and I knew in my heart that it was the emperor who dropped the teacup.A few people waited outside the hall, pretending not to hear anything but looking down at the floor tiles under their feet.

The little eunuch in the main hall bowed his back and carefully tidied up.Kangxi was in a rage at this time, loudly scolded him to get out, the little eunuch quickly picked up the pieces of the teacup on the ground, and bowed to leave.

Li Dequan played boldly: "Your Majesty, Mingzhu, Suo'etu and other adults are waiting outside the hall."

Kangxi calmed down and said coldly, "Let them come in and talk."

Li Dequan gave the little eunuch a wink, and the little eunuch immediately went out to deliver a message.

After several people entered the hall, they greeted Kangxi's luggage one after another, but at this time, Kangxi kept his mouth shut and did not say a word. They probably knelt for a cup of tea before they heard Kangxi say: "Tell me the day before yesterday that there is an accident in the Shandong Science and Technology Center. After the incident, the scholars made a big fuss in the government schools, and today they told me that the candidates in the south of the Yangtze River actually let the statue of Kong Sheng wear the clothes of the God of Wealth to parade through the streets, and now they want to tell me what happened."

None of them dared to say that they were summoned by the emperor. Xiong Cilu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Tingyu, seeing that the old fox kept his head down and did not speak. Bite the bullet and said: "The ministers are here to ask for an order, how to deal with the case in the Jiangnan examination room."

"You are receiving the royal salary every year. Is it true that I support you for nothing?" Kangxi finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He picked up the jade-made longevity turtle paperweight on the table and threw it out. He kept his head down and didn't dare to avoid it.

After a while, seeing that everyone was silent, Kangxi calmed down a little and said, "You all tell me what happened to the Jiangnan Examination Center."

Suo'etu will speak out now: "The ministers thought that Wu Zhaozhi and others were ordered to pick up scholars, and they should not have accepted bribes. Those candidates who failed the exam were probably seriously injured because of dissatisfaction."

"Hmph! If you didn't accept bribes, then you, Suo'etu, will tell me how that Chen Gui, who even wrote his own name wrong, got Zhongjieyuan. The people of the world know that my court of the Qing Dynasty will be a joke at that time, so you dare to say that those candidates are maliciously slandering." After Suo Etu heard this, he knew that the emperor might have the bottom line in his mind, so he didn't dare to say more Just shut up and say nothing.

Zhang Tingyu saw that the emperor was already very angry, and knew in his heart that this was not the time to protect himself, so he said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is how to deal with those candidates who are detained. If the situation is not controlled in time, I will be afraid of candidates from other places." And gather a crowd to make trouble."

Kangxi didn't know this truth. Jiangnan has been famous officials since ancient times, and there are not a few scholars. Otherwise, the previous dynasty would not have separated the north and south lists to balance the situation in the court. Caused turmoil in the court.

Kangxi finally calmed down at this moment, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table and said, "You can answer the case later."

Xiong Cilu, as the examiner of the Fourth National Examination, naturally has more experience than the others, so Kangxi turned his attention to him. "I think that the most important thing now is to appease the examinees. The emperor should send imperial envoys to Jiangnan to find out the matter. If Wu Zhizhao and others really accepted bribes and bent the law for personal gain, they would naturally be severely punished, and the examination papers in Jiangnan would also be severely punished." It should be resented.”

"The minister reconsidered." Mingzhu arrived.Xiong Cilu has always been at odds with Suo'etu, Mingzhu is of course on Xiong's side, and Suo'etu's party has been operating in Jiangnan for so long, so he doesn't believe that he has nothing to do with it.

A few days later, Yinzhen, who was entrusted with the imperial edict of Kangxi, arrived at Jiangning Mansion together with the imperial envoy.The primary purpose of Yinzhen's trip to Jiangning is not the examination case. Xiong Cilu is the prince's teacher, and he also taught himself at the beginning. In any case, even if he is a prince, it still depends on his opinion on this matter. Besides, he doesn't quite understand Huang Ama's intentions. He hasn't gotten married yet, so he shouldn't be allowed to do such a big event. Let him have some doubts.But I still have to find that person first, so that I will be more confident in the future.

Thinking of things in the capital, I thought of Yi Erha who was far away in the capital. Now she should already know that she was pointed at herself.Thinking of the little woman who was so angry in front of him, he couldn't help laughing. He really hoped that the things here would end quickly so that he could go back to the capital to prepare for the big wedding.
