Chapter 308

Not long after, Gao Demao wiped his cold sweat with his kerchief while jogging in and knelt in. "Return to your Majesty, the one who knocked on the Deng Wen drum outside Wu De's door is the candidates who will fail the list this time. They call this the imperial examination. Fraud, I beg your Majesty to give them justice."

  The emperor's body stopped slightly, the irritability in his heart dissipated, and his expression became solemn: "Do you have evidence?"

"My Majesty, there is no evidence, but the leader shouted outside... Seven of the top ten are already the children of the family of honorable eunuchs, including Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao, Wu Anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, and Wang Chengyu. The seven Chen Zhaolu were scheduled to be among the top ten. Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao, and Chen Zhaolu did not dare to question, but Wu Anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, and Wang Chengyu were in the top ten. It is absolutely impossible!"

Gao Demao looked up at the emperor’s increasingly gloomy facial features, and then said, “The one who took the lead said that before the test was over and the list was not released, Wang Chengyu and Lin Chaodong, who had bought houses in the metropolis, and his maternal ancestors In Wu Anbang, their families have bought a lot of celebration supplies, and they are preparing to spread the porridge and disperse the money."

  Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao, Wu Anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, Wang Chengyu, and Chen Zhaolu are seven of the top ten just now!

The emperor gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are Wen Zhenkang and the other deputy chief examiners, let the imperial army detain them and not leave the palace!"

   "Yes!" Gao Demao hurriedly got up and ran out.

Gao Demao, as the **** by the emperor's side, was not unaware of the cheating in the imperial halls in previous years. The noble family had stuffed the chief examiner with money, so many people were allowed to go in for the examination.

  In the last imperial examination, Gao Demao felt that the noble officials and eunuchs would not constrain anymore. He was afraid that he would alarm the emperor, but he didn't expect it... This time he was still alarmed.

The emperor pressed on the fire, and his voice was so cold that his bones were chilling: "Prince, you go...seal all the test papers for this palace exam to me! Send people to pass the Imperial Prisons to Jijiu, Siye...all the doctors of all studies. Here, you stare at them... Give me one copy of the paper!"

   "My son, take the order!" The prince hurriedly took the order and went to work.

  The emperor was so angry that his fingers were shaking. If the cheating in the examination was true, Wen Zhenkang would be damned!

  The Yan King of Xiliang hadn’t left yet, and Emperor Yan was about to return tomorrow. Wen Zhenkang would embarrass him by bringing out an imperial fraud case for him.

Moreover, the imperial examinations over the years were used to select management talents for the court. Although he liked treacherous ministers... he didn't like courtiers who were too capable and powerful, like Bai Weiting, but he also knew that there could be no capable people in this court. There are capable officials who do practical things, and Jin is in danger.

  "Pass the Dali Temple Qing Lv Jin!" The emperor opened his eyes, his eyes filled with horror.

Outside the Wude Gate, more and more failed candidates knelt outside the gate and shouted the imperial fraud, begging the emperor to give them justice. This sudden excitement shocked almost all the people in the metropolis.

  The few named were anxious and wanted to dispose of the celebration items purchased in advance, but they were afraid that there would be some movement that would cause people to grab the handle and fidget. I don’t know what to do.

  Even Lu Xiang couldn’t sit still, and called his son and daughter-in-law over, and asked the two sons and daughter-in-law if they had given gifts to the examiner? Have you bought any celebration supplies in advance? Did you buy rice in advance and prepare to serve porridge?

  Lv Yuanpeng, who was just released from the ancestral hall, drank a cup of tea leisurely, and heard that his parents were called by his grandfather.

  Lv Yuanpeng worried that it was his grandfather's idea to discipline him, his eyes rolled and he put down the teacup to keep up, and looked in through the window of the study.

"Bastard!" Lu Xiang was so angry that he smashed the tea cup in his hand. "The four of you are crazy! Yuan Qing and Yuan Bao are both top-notch students. Even if they don't give gifts, they will definitely be in the top two. What kind of thing is Wen Zhenkang, do I want to give gifts to that kind of running dog?!"

"Father, you can’t say that. Others are giving gifts. We don’t give them... I could have been in the second class, maybe they will be squeezed to the top three! Maybe the man with the surname Wen will secretly make a ghost and let our family The two children couldn't even pass the trial, and it's not like this happened in previous years!" Ms. Lu's daughter-in-law said quietly.

  "Women's opinion!" Lu Xiang was so angry that his brain hurts, "I am dignified, can he dare to have his surname Wen?!"

Lu Xiang’s third son, Lu Yuanpeng’s father frowned and said, "Who is Wen Zhenkang... Others don’t know, father, don’t you know? The saint Yuning offends the gentleman, don’t offend the villain, now your majesty favors Wen Zhenkang. , My eldest brother and I just acted in the direction of the wind, not asking Wen Zhenkang to really help, but asking him not to stumble the two children!"

"Yes, father, and you also said that the two children must be in the second class. It is precisely because of this that the daughter-in-law discussed with the three younger siblings and sent someone out of the house to buy! After all, the two tributes from the family are already It's a big happy event!" Ms. Lu said again.

  Lv Yuanpeng’s mother rolled her eyes at her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law... has never thought of her for good things, and bad things must drag her into the water.

"Yes, father and daughter-in-law think so, so when the sister-in-law mentioned it, the daughter-in-law agreed with the sister-in-law's idea. Unexpectedly, she got into a catastrophe, and asked his father for advice on how to remedy it." Lu Yuanpeng's mother told Lu Xiangfu He saluted and said with a look of guilt.

  Lv Xianghuo's adult-like characters can't see what the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law mean, and they are even more angry.

"If something goes wrong, if you don't twist it into a rope and try to find a way, what can you do? You are really good daughters-in-law of our Lu family!" Lu Xiang's face sank, "This matter can only be me personally. Go into the palace and tell the emperor to tell the truth early!"

   "But...what about the fame of the two children?" Lu Yuanpeng's father was shocked.

"I'm going, I'm going, the two children still have a chance to retake the exam, don't go... the two children's future may be over!" Lu Xiang clasped his hand on the armrest of the seat and gritted his teeth. "The emperor is bound to do this. Let Dali Temple Qing Lu Jin lead the trial, you two... now go to Dali Temple to find Lu Jin and confess the bribery of the chief exam! The faster our family moves, the more light the emperor will be."

"But father, so... our family has offended other noble officials and eunuchs who bribed Wen Zhenkang!" Lu Xiang's eldest son frowned, "Besides, those elders have already said that if it is our family Yuan Qinghe Yuan Bao is among the ten, they are convinced!"

   "It is precisely because of these actions that we are convinced, but we ourselves have committed bribery, our Lu family is going to confess with the emperor and Dali Temple!"

   Please ask, ask, ask for monthly pass...
