Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 205 The Imperial Examination Situation (23)

The first day of the exam is the mock exam. This exam will not be included in the official examination results. The name is to let the students get used to this imperial examination.

It made this time a bit like Enke, Tian San stood outside the examination room and waited for the security of this test.

On the other side of the examination room, the policemen of the six gates were also waiting for the guards in full battle. For some reason, the two parties just stood here quietly, and there was a sense of confrontation between the two armies.

The sound of dense footsteps came, and Tian San squinted his eyes under the sun to see a group of people from the East Factory coming.
In a teahouse in front of the examination room, Tang Bohu and Yang Sheng were drinking tea, while He Ding went upstairs and moved a chair and sat in front of them.

"Long time no see, Eunuch He." Tang Bohu said.

"Master Tang, stay safe and sound." He Ding leaned on the balcony and looked at Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the six doors that would firmly protect the examination room.

As soon as He Ding took his seat, Yang Sheng became nervous. The person in front of him was the admiral of Dongchang!But looking at the eyes between Tang Bohu and him, Yang Sheng immediately felt that something was wrong!It was rumored that there was a conflict between Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and just before the imperial examination, Jinyiwei almost demolished Dongchang.

"Tang Bohu." Yang Sheng said quietly, "He is the admiral of the East Factory."

"Yes! He is the admiral of the East Factory," Tang Bohu raised his eyebrows and introduced to He Ding: "My new younger brother, Yang Sheng, is a fool with a lot of money... No! He is a rich guy."

"How did the people from the Sanfa Division come here?" He Ding stared at the group of people at the six doors and said, "I don't see them on weekdays, so why are they popping up now?"

"Isn't it normal that they came to help us protect the examination room?" Tang Bohu said, "Six doors are also responsible for public security and stability in central Beijing."

"It's not normal! It's too abnormal." He Ding said: "Tang Bohu, you haven't been in the capital for long, and there are some things you don't understand! Your Majesty has never ordered anyone to use the six doors, and the imperial examinations over the years are regarded as officials. Ministry, but the six gates, the three courts of law, are not within the scope of the Ministry of Officials' management."

"What do you mean?" Tang Bohu said suspiciously: "The six doors have other plans."

He Ding nodded solemnly, "Six Doors has always been a place where no rabbits are seen and no eagles are scattered, and they don't know how to hear about it, but Six Doors is also a hungry wolf with a very sensitive sense of smell, as long as they feel that the smell is not right , I will definitely bite on it and not let go until I gnaw a piece of meat from you."

Tang Bohu wanted to kill this year's imperial examination fraud case at the source, thinking that it would be enough if he took down Xu Jing!But now when I think about it, it seems that things are not under his control. Xu Jing was inexplicably silenced, and Xu Zhenqing was eccentric and wanted to control the changes in the situation, but right now Tang Bohu just felt that things were not under his control.

The imperial examination this time is not that simple, and the people from the six gates are not here to help stand guard.

"Have you received any news from East Factory?" Tang Bohu asked.

He Ding replied: "Master Cheng Minzheng is about to be dismissed from office. Your Majesty did not explain why Cheng Minzheng was dismissed from office, but Lin Jiang didn't want to compromise on this. He wanted to find out the reason of the matter. Your Majesty cannot dismiss someone for no reason." man's office."

"Lin Jiang?" Tang Bohu asked, "It's Lin Jiang, Minister of the Household Department. I have met this guy once."

"Actually, this matter is a long story." He Ding explained: "This Cheng Minzheng's wife is the daughter of the former right deputy capital imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His wife was naturally not happy when he went to an official position, and Lin Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, had a good relationship with Cheng Minzheng, Lin Jiang used his Minister of the Household Department to exert pressure, and then contacted Cheng Minzheng's wife from top to bottom."

"You mean that the six doors were sent by these?" Tang Bohu asked.

"I'm not sure either." He Ding continued: "Tang Bohu, you discovered the leakage of imperial examination questions! When Li Dongyang suggested that His Majesty set a precedent for mock exams, some people will notice the difference. It seems that things can't be hidden. Living."

Yang Sheng also said: "Cheng Minzheng has just taken the position of the chief examiner of the imperial examination. Seeing that the future is bright, who expects to be expelled from the imperial examination? Obviously, some people will not agree! His wife is anxious about this?"

He Ding nodded, "Tang Bohu, you are not above the imperial court. You don't know how much pressure His Majesty is under to remove Cheng Minzheng from his official position. Your Majesty is a person who cherishes talents. Cheng Minzheng has always been conscientious! But it was leaked by the little book boy in his family. If this matter is tracked down and everyone knows about it, then Cheng Minzheng's fate will not be so simple."

Tang Bohu: "What will happen?"

"This matter can range from being sent to jail to being punished!" He Ding heaved a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty is here to protect Cheng Minzheng, but these people are really trying to push Cheng Minzheng to death. They are all ignorant." Well-behaved women caused trouble, our family will have to see how it will end after Six Doors finds out the truth of the matter."

"It's not so easy for them to find out the truth." Tang Bohu said calmly, "Xu Jing and that little book boy have been silenced."

He Ding stopped holding the teacup, looked at Tang Bohu and said, "Have you been silenced?"

"I don't know who did it." Tang Bohu continued: "In my Tangzhuang territory, under the supervision of my Jin Yiwei, I can kill people quietly, which is amazing!"

"Tang Bohu, you have to be careful." He Ding said.

"I know." Tang Bohu nodded.

"Wait, wait..." Yang Sheng supported his temple in pain and said, "The amount of information is a bit big, let me sort it out."

"At the beginning, I also thought that this matter was just that the little book boy in Cheng Minzheng's family lost his mind and wanted to sell test questions to Xu Jing." He Ding continued, "The whole matter seems to have nothing to do with you, Tang Bohu. You Tang Bohu took over the matter, but Xu Jing and that guy were silenced again."

"If Xu Jing is assassinated, then this matter is not aimed at Cheng Minzheng, but at you, Tang Bohu." He Ding said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Households will test the pressure, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will follow closely. There is a head of the Household Department Shangshu, it is difficult to deal with!"

"Why do you say this matter is aimed at Tang Bohu?" Yang Sheng asked.

He Ding replied: "Because Xu Jing said that he was Tang Bohu's childhood friend, and this person met Tang Bohu again when he came to the capital. This is where the bad thing happened."
