The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 430 Extra 21 Lingering

The five ministers nearby heard Gu Jue address Wei Jingze as Wei Shangshu, and they immediately guessed Wei Jingze's identity. One of them murmured: "Wei Jingze, Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel."

Among the six ministers, only Wei Jingze has the surname Wei.

The students still don't know what's going on. The Minister of Libu is one of the elders of the Six Ministries, and his status is second only to the chief minister. Naturally, there are various channels to get the examination questions.

In other words, Wei Jingze must have been behind the scenes instigating his son to sell exam questions.

The students could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts, and they all said:

"Wei Shangshu took advantage of his power and knew the law and broke the law. He must be severely punished!"

"I heard that Wei Shangshu's eldest son also took part in the Jinke Examination. Like father, like son. Even if you think about it, this eldest son Wei is not clear about it."

"Sue the imperial petition! You must go and file the imperial petition. Even if you go to beat the drum, you must file the imperial petition!"

“…”

These students were all filled with indignation, their faces were red with anger, and their chests were heaving.

They stared at Wei Jingze with their eyes full of anger, wanting him to be punished on the spot immediately.

Facing these angry students, Wei Jingze was speechless for a while.

He originally wanted to take advantage of these students, but he didn't expect that Gu Jue would also start with the students. It was like saying that he shot himself in the foot this time.

What should I do next? ! Wei Jingze clenched his hands tightly into fists in his sleeves, thinking hard about countermeasures, and secretly scolded Gu Jue for not playing according to common sense.

Even if an ordinary emperor investigates a fraud case, he will order the imperial guards to investigate it in the imperial study. Before announcing it to the world, he will first take the suspect to the imperial study for trial. After a rough result is obtained, he will hand it over to the three officials. Division will review.

If this is the case, then he will have more room for maneuver and will not be trapped in this dilemma.

Why can't this Gu Jue be like other emperors? !

The court became more and more noisy because of these indignant students.

Logically speaking, Jing Zhaoyin should have sounded the alarm at this time to silence the students, but now that Gu Jue was here, and Gu Jue didn't express his position, Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to rebuke these students casually.

So, Jing Zhaoyin looked at Gu Jue, cleared his throat, and heard Gu Jue say: "Let the three departments conduct a joint trial to thoroughly investigate the fraud case!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, even the five students looked towards him, wondering who was qualified to speak so arrogantly to Wei Jingze, Jing Zhaoyin and others on this occasion.

Jing Zhaoyin felt relieved when he heard this.

He knew that Gu Jue's words meant that Wei Yuanzhi's matter of selling examination papers stopped here, and that it was not up to him to control which sellers and buyers were involved in the subsequent fraud case.

What a great joy!

Jing Zhaoyin stood up quickly, bowed his head to Gu Jue respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will transfer this case to the Third Division now."

It was not until this moment that the five students knew that this handsome young man was actually the emperor, and they were shocked.

Then, it dawned on them, and the expressions on their faces changed from shock to surprise, and all of them were in high spirits.

No wonder this fraud case was discovered so quickly!

No wonder the government acted so quickly this time!

No wonder Jing Zhaoyin dared to find out who the official minister was!

One of the middle-aged men took a step forward and bowed solemnly to Gu Jue: "Student, thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for all the students in the world!"

Only then did the other four students react, and they followed suit and bowed.

Everyone's eyes were shining, with reverence, gratitude, and excitement in their eyes.

They looked at Gu Jue as if they were looking up to their faith.

It is the goal of every scholar to become a scholar in literature and martial arts, and to become an emperor. But who would want to meet a fatuous and incompetent monarch, such as the late emperor who was obsessed with elixirs and had no interest in state affairs.

They study hard in the cold window in the hope that they can show their ambitions, be remembered in history, and do some practical things for the people and the court. Emperors like Gu Jue are the wise masters worthy of their allegiance!

They believed that under the leadership of Gu Jue, Da Qi could achieve a prosperous and prosperous era that would be talked about by future generations.

Gu Jue stood up and said calmly: "When the date for the joint trial of the three divisions is set, the case will be heard publicly and an explanation will be given to students all over the world!"

Gu Jue ignored Wei Jingze and didn't care what Wei Jingze's reaction was, and left hand in hand with Shen Qianchen.

Yang Xuanshan and Jing Zhaoyin in the rear quickly saluted again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen."

These princes also hurriedly saluted and sent the emperor and empress off respectfully.

The next follow-up was handed over to Jingzhao Yin. Wei Yuanzhi was taken into custody by Jingzhao Mansion. After the case was handed over to the Third Division, he would be transferred to the Criminal Department. As for whether Wei Jingze is involved in the case, it will be thoroughly investigated by the Third Division. Regardless of whether Wei Jingze is currently in custody, he cannot escape, and the new emperor cannot let him leave the capital casually.

Everyone knows that the Wei family is completely finished!

The next focus is just how many people in Wei Jingze's party are involved in this fraud case.

The Jingzhao Mansion has temporarily closed the case, but the fraud case has just begun. It is like a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and the entire capital exploded over it that day.

There is no need to publicize this case in particular. This case itself has attracted enough attention. Even an ordinary citizen can take part in it. Just imagine that one day a child who can read will be born in his family, but he will be cheated by those with power. It is simply unbearable to take away the place of Jinshi for the sake of means!

Immediately afterwards, the new emperor issued an edict, canceling the second and third sessions of the subsequent examinations. One month later, the current examinations will be retaken with new papers. All candidates who are stranded in the capital can rely on the road guide. Go to the Imperial College to stay temporarily.

As soon as this edict was issued, all the students in the capital became even more excited.

It was anger before, now it is praise.

“It’s time to retake the exam to show the fairness of the examination!”

"That's right! Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether the person who bought the questions leaked the questions to relatives and friends, let alone whether the suspect recruited all the people who bought the questions. Instead of letting those who slipped through the net take advantage of the loophole, it is better to retake the exam!"

"I heard that the officials personally caught the fraud this time. If it hadn't been for the officials, the fraudsters in Jinke would have benefited!"

“…”

Many students gathered spontaneously in a tavern, and they all praised the new emperor.

No one thought that retaking the exam was a waste of time. Even those who had performed well in the previous game had no objections to the retake and felt that the new emperor was wise and decisive.

There were no empty seats in Li's Tavern, and the drinkers wanted to sit down even if they shared a table. The shopkeeper and the waiter smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed, and they warmly entertained the drinkers.

The waiter vividly talked about the scene where the new emperor asked the old Yu and Wei Yuanzhi to teach the old Yu and Wei Yuanzhi a lesson. He also talked about the new emperor who asked them to pay a silver coin in their tavern. He also excitedly pointed to one of the tables and said: "This is the seat where the emperor sat!"

The waiter's eyebrows were dancing and he was in high spirits. He felt that he finally had something worth bragging about for the rest of his life!

"The current emperor is really different from the late emperor!" A middle-aged scholar in his early fifties with a lot of silver threads in his hair sighed and stroked his beard. "Three years ago, there was also a provincial examination fraud in Jizhou. At that time, the late emperor directly canceled my qualification as a Jizhou candidate to participate in the Spring Festival the following year, causing me to waste three years. "

"You are still willing to consider us candidates today!"

There was a case of fraud in the general examination. Even if the emperor canceled the current general examination in anger, the candidates would have nothing to say.

The other scholars present also felt sad, nodded with emotion, and continued to praise the various achievements made today.

A 30-year-old Qingyi examiner asked a gray-clothed examiner at the same table: "Brother Liu, I heard that in today's edict, it was also said that after the date for the joint trial of the three divisions is set, ten people can be selected. Is it true that a person is heard in court?”

Before Huiyi Juzi could answer, another Xuanyi Juzi spoke first: "You really asked the right person this question to Brother Liu. He was in the Jingzhao Mansion court today, and he and the other four people all listened on the spot. Mr. Hong said that the five of them can also go to Dali Temple to hear the case, so that it can be considered a beginning and an end. "As soon as these words came out, everyone's envious eyes were directed at that person. Liu Juren.

"Brother Liu, you are so lucky!"

"Brother Liu, didn't you meet the official family today?"

"You have to tell us carefully about what happened in the Jingzhao Mansion Court!"

“…”

Everyone was chatting around Liu Juren, and even the waiter came over curiously to listen. If the lobby hadn't been smashed up at that time, he would have really wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion to watch the excitement.

The Li's Tavern became more and more lively, and some people even came outside the gate to listen to the excitement.

These discussions in the capital were also relayed to Shen Qianchen. The chamberlain who gave the talk was a clever man, and kept talking about various praises for Gu Jue, such as being wise and powerful, having jade trees in the wind, being unparalleled in the world, Don't be angry, be powerful, be bold in killing, etc.

Shen Qianchen was overjoyed when she heard this. She liked it best when someone praised Gu Jue!

Seeing that his master was happy, the waiter spoke more enthusiastically: "My Lady, you haven't seen that the shopkeeper of that tavern also put up a sign next to the table where you and the Emperor were sitting, saying, 'The Holy Emperor is here for a visit. ’, and also renamed the drink ordered by the Emperor to ‘Tianzi Niang’.”

Shen Qianchen couldn't help but burst into laughter again, feeling that this shopkeeper was really good at using his brains.

Shen Qianchen asked Amber to reward the chambermaid, and then lazily leaned on the beauty's couch alone. Thinking about the events of the afternoon, he couldn't help but laugh.

When Gu Jue came in, he saw Shen Qianchen holding the black cat and rolling happily on the beauty's couch. However, the cat held tightly in her arms was not so happy. The cat was twisting and turning in her arms. "Meow, meow, meow," cried out, but Shen Qianchen wouldn't let go.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gu Jue's mood suddenly improved, and a brisk smile floated between his eyebrows.

For this fraud case, Gu Jue had just quickly summoned several court elders, bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, ministers of Dali Temple, and censor of Zuodu to the imperial study room, and discussed it for nearly an hour.

The current Da Qi Dynasty seems to be stable, but in fact there are many hidden dangers. If you want to solve these hidden dangers, you cannot solve them overnight, you must do it step by step.

Gu Jue is just a human being with a mortal body. Whenever he faces these long-standing problems, he feels tired and upset, but as soon as he sees his little girl, this fatigue is swept away.

"Jiuxia." Shen Qianchen smiled brightly at Gu Jue.

As soon as her arms loosened slightly, the black cat struggled to squeeze out of her arms, kicked off its hind legs, and ran away, leaving only a few tufts of black hair floating in the air.

Gu Jue couldn't help but chuckle.

The cat ran away, and Gu Jue sat next to Shen Qianchen instead.

The black cat that jumped up on the window sill seemed to feel that it was safe and squatted on the window sill. It licked its paws and gave Gu Jue a sympathetic look, feeling that Gu Jue was suffering on its behalf.

Shen Qianchen leaned slightly in front of Gu Jue and asked curiously, "Has the trial been postponed to a month later?"

"It's arranged after the Double Ninth Festival." Gu Jue nodded, "The examination room in Gongyuan is really too shabby. I also want to use this short time to repair Gongyuan quickly..."

"Also, the rules for the examination must be changed." Shen Qianchen said seriously. When he looked at Gu Jue with a crooked face, his phoenix eyes shone with hope, "Why are people not allowed to hand in papers in advance? This rule is too much. Strange!"

Shen Qianchen felt that if it weren't for this rigid rule, Gu Jue would have finished the first test yesterday even if he only left the examination room today.

Gu Jue was stunned, staring at her pink face. Her flawless skin was like the finest mutton-fat white jade, without any blemishes.

He smiled, gently pressed his forehead against Shen Qianchen's forehead, and said with a smile: "Qianchen is the one who knows me."

After the first trial, Gu Jue had the same plan.

For example, the candidate who ate the Purple Snow Pill given by him in the examination room today had already finished writing the examination paper before fainting. However, according to the rules of the examination, if he was taken out of the examination room early due to illness, he would be disqualified from the examination.

This rule really makes no sense.

As if she had received such a big compliment, Shen Qianchen smiled broadly and leaned softly on his shoulder.

While she was playing with the jade pendant on his waist, she asked: "When the exam is taken again next month, do you still want to take the exam?"

Gu Jue stretched out his right hand, raised her little face slightly with his slender fingers, stared into the pair of clear eyes, and asked: "What do you think? How about I give you a royal title as a wife?"

There was a hint of joking in his tone, and his dark eyes reflected her face as clearly as a mirror, and his eyes were as gentle as water, making people unable to help but indulge in them.

Shen Qianchen bit her lower lip slightly and said delicately: "I don't care about Mrs. Gaoming! Didn't I say that if I want to be the first lady, I must be the first lady!"

"Okay! Then I'll go and earn you the title of No. 1 wife." Gu Jue looked like a husband and wife who respected each other. He gently held one of her hands and kissed her white and delicate fingertips.

Shen Qianchen felt a numbness coming from his fingertips. His fingers trembled, but he did not move away.

"Forget it." Shen Qianchen shook her head. She was just joking with Gu Jue, "I'm too tired. After three games in nine days, the remaining poison in you has just been cleared."

Maybe the fourteen-year-old Gu Jue still needs to take the imperial examination to prove that he is outstanding not just because he is a prince. Now that he is over the age of 10, Gu Jue no longer needs to take the imperial examination to prove himself.

Gu Jiuxia is unique!

Shen Qianchen raised his hand and touched Gu Jue's head, coaxing: "Be good!"

"It's all up to you." Gu Jue smiled. Under her long and thick eyelashes, undercurrents occasionally flashed through her pupils. His big hands covering her waist held her tightly, showing a sense of aggression. breath.

The tail of his words rose slightly, as if he was teasing, but also pampering, gentle and pampering.

"Do you really listen to me?" She also raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes. There was a bit of arrogance in her sweet voice, like a triumphant and proud cat gently using its soft flesh pads. He patted him, teased him, and lured him.

Gu Jue asked her in turn: "When did I not listen to you?"

"..." Shen Qianchen was speechless, always feeling as if she had turned into an unreasonable tigress, and said casually, "Okay, okay, you are the most obedient!"

"So, where's the reward?" he teased her.

Shen Qianchen reacted very quickly this time. She raised her head and kissed him perfunctorily on the forehead, then tilted her face and asked, "Are you satisfied, Mr. Lang?"

She deliberately prolonged her tone, her voice was soft and gentle, and the man's eyes suddenly became hot, as bright as the midsummer sun, so bright that Shen Qianchen couldn't look directly.

The scorching heat from his body penetrated through the thin clothes...

So hot!

Shen Qianchen felt that even his own body seemed to be warmed by him, and his cheeks became hot and slightly flushed. He thought to himself: His body is like a furnace now, and it is no longer as cold as it was a year ago. of.

A charming atmosphere lingered between the two, and even the surrounding air seemed to be heating up.

At this moment, a servant's respectful report came from outside: "Your Majesty, Queen, the King of Nanyang wants to see you!"
