Extra Story 21(1/2)
The five scholars next to him heard Gu Jue call Wei Jingze the Secretary of Wei, and immediately guessed Wei Jingze's identity. One of them murmured: "Wei Jingze, Minister of Personnel."
The only ministers of the six ministries, Wei Jingze, was the only one with the surname Wei.
The students don’t know what’s going on. The Minister of Personnel is one of the six ministers, and his status is only the chief minister. Naturally, there are various channels to get the exam questions for the imperial examination.
In other words, it must be Wei Jingze who instructed his son to sell test questions behind his back.
The students could no longer contain their anger and said in a lingering manner:
"Shangshu Wei takes advantage of his power and breaks the law by knowing that the law must be severely punished!"
"I heard that the eldest son of Shangshu Wei also participated in the examination for the current exam. He had the same father as his son. This eldest son of Wei was not innocent."
"Report to the Yu's complaint! You must go to the Yu's complaint, even if you go to the Dengwen drum, you must also sue the Yu's complaint!"
“…”
These students were all filled with righteous indignation, their faces flushed and their chests fluttered.
Their eyes of Wei Jingze were full of anger, and they wanted him to commit suicide immediately.
Faced with these indignant students, Wei Jingze couldn't speak for a long time.
He wanted to use these students, but he didn't expect that Gu Jue also started with the students, which meant that he had shot himself in the foot this time.
What should I do next? Wei Jingze clenched his hands tightly into fists in his sleeves, and tried hard to think about countermeasures, secretly scolding Gu Jue for not playing according to common sense.
Even if an emperor investigates fraud cases, he will order the Jinyiwei to investigate in the imperial study room. Before announcing the world, he will take the suspect to the imperial study room and first examine it. After a general result, he will hand it over to the three departments for trial.
If this is the case, then he will have more operational space and will not fall into this dilemma at this moment.
Why can't Gu Jue be like other emperors!!!
The students in the court who were filled with righteous indignation became more and more noisy.
Logically speaking, Jingzhao Yin should have sounded a haunt at this time to calm the students, but now Gu Jue is here, Gu Jue doesn't express his opinion, and Jingzhao Yin dares not scold these students casually.
So Jingzhao Yin looked at Gu Jue, cleared his throat, and heard Gu Jue say, "Please go to the Three Departments to conduct a trial and thorough investigation of the fraud case!"
When he spoke, even the five students looked at him, curious in his heart who was qualified to speak to Wei Jingze, Jingzhaoyin and others so domineeringly on this occasion.
Jingzhao Yin felt relieved when he heard this.
He knew that Gu Jue's words meant that Wei Yuanzhi's selling of the exam papers ended here, and the sellers and buyers involved in the next fraud case were not under his control.
This is a great joy!
Jingzhaoyin quickly stood up, bowed respectfully to Gu Jue and said, "Yes, yourselves, I will hand over this case to the three departments."
It was not until this moment that the five students realized that this handsome young man was actually the dignified emperor and were shocked.
Then, they suddenly realized, and the expressions on their faces changed from shock to surprise, and they all were full of energy.
No wonder this fraud case was found so quickly!
No wonder the government moves so quickly this time!
No wonder Jingzhao Yin dared to find the minister of the Ministry of Personnel!
One of the middle-aged men took a step forward and bowed to Gu Jue solemnly: "Student, thank the emperor for making decisions for the students in the world!"
The other four students then reacted and bowed immediately.
Everyone's eyes are shining brightly, with respect, gratitude and excitement in their eyes.
They looked at Gu Jue as if they were looking up at their faith.
Learning literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families is the goal of every scholar, but who would want to meet a foolish and incompetent monarch, such as a foolish monarch who is obsessed with elixirs and has no intention of national affairs like the late emperor.
They studied hard in the hope that they could show their ambitions, keep their names in history, do some practical things for the people and the court. A emperor like Gu Jue is the wise ruler who deserves their loyalty!
They believe that under the leadership of Gu Jue, the Great Qi Ding can achieve a prosperous era that will be talked about by future generations.
Gu Jue stood up and said lightly: "When the three departments have decided to try, the case will be heard publicly, and there will be an explanation for the students all over the world!"
Gu Jue ignored Wei Jingze anymore, nor did he care about Wei Jingze's reaction, and left hand in hand with Chen Qianchen.
Yang Xuanshan and Jingzhao Yin in the rear quickly saluted again: "Give me a greeting to the emperor, Empress."
These disciples also quickly bowed and respectfully sent the emperor and empress to leave.
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 Sansi, he would be transferred to the Ministry of Justice. As for whether Wei Jingze was involved in the case, the Sansi would also conduct a thorough investigation. Regardless of whether Wei Jingze was taken into custody now, he would not be able to escape, and the new emperor would not allow him to leave Beijing at will.
Everyone knows that the Wei family is completely finished!
The next focus is nothing more than 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, and it is like a stone causing a thousand waves. The entire capital was in a rage that day.
There is no need to be specifically promoted. This case itself has enough attention. Even an ordinary citizen can be substituted. Just imagine that one day one can produce a seedling who can study, but those powerful and powerful people use fraud as a means to steal the quota of Jinshi. This is simply unbearable!
Immediately afterwards, the new emperor issued an edict, canceling the second and third sessions of the subsequent examinations. After a month, the examinations will be taken again in new papers. All candidates stranded in the capital can be led to the Imperial College for temporary residence by way of travel.
As soon as this edict was issued, all the students in the capital were even more excited.
I was angry before, but I was praise now.
"It is time to re-examination to show the fairness of the imperial examination!"
"That's right! Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether the buyer has leaked the questions to his relatives and friends, nor can he guarantee whether the suspect has attracted all the buyers. Instead of letting those who missed the net take advantage of the loophole, it is better to retake the exam!"
"I heard that this time it was a fraud that was personally arrested by the government. If it weren't for the government, those cheaters in Jinke would have benefited!"
“…”
Many students gathered spontaneously in a tavern, all of whom praised the new emperor.
No one thinks that re-examination is a mess. Even the last test student who performed well did not object to the re-examination. He thinks that the new emperor is wise and decisive.
The Li family tavern was full, and the drinkers were willing to sit down even if they were willing to play the table. The shopkeeper and waiter in the tavern smiled so much that their eyes narrowed into slits, and they warmly welcomed the drinkers.
The waiter said vividly about the scenes of the new emperor who asked someone to teach the old Yu and Wei Yuanzhi a lesson. When talking about the new emperor who asked someone to pay a silver in their tavern, he also pointed to one of the tables excitedly and said, "This is the seat that the emperor has sat!"
The little guy was dancing and full of energy, and felt that he had finally had something worth bragging about for the rest of his life!
"It's really different from the late emperor!" A middle-aged man in his early fifties and had a lot of silver threads in his hair stroked his beard in sighs, "Three years ago, there was a fraud case in Jizhou. At that time, the late emperor directly eliminated the qualification of my Jizhou candidate to participate in the spring exam the following year, which made me delayed for three years in vain."
"It's better to consider us candidates today!"
There was a fraud case in the imperial examination. Even if the emperor was angry, the candidates had nothing to say.
The other scholars present were also worried, nodded with emotion, and continued to praise the various achievements of today.
A thirty-year-old juren asked a thirty-year-old juren at the same table and said, "Brother Liu, I heard that in the edict today, he also said that after the date of the three departments' trial was decided, ten juren could be selected to be heard in court. Isn't that true?"
Before the gray-clothed Juzi answered, another Xuanyi Juzi took the lead and said, "You ask Brother Liu this question, you really ask the right person. Today he was in the Jingzhao Palace Court. He and the other four people listened to the trial of the case on the spot by Lord Hong of Jingzhao Yin. Lord Hong said that by then, the five of them could also go to Dali Temple for trial, and this would be considered as a beginning and an end."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone's envious eyes shot at Juren Liu in unison.
"Brother Liu, your luck is so good!"
"Brother Liu, then have you met the official family today?"
"You have to tell us about the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture Court!"
“…”
Everyone was talking around Juren Liu, and even the waiter came over to listen curiously. If the lobby hadn't been smashed at that time, he would have wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion to watch the fun.
The Li family's tavern was getting more and more lively, and some people even came to the gate to listen to the fun.
These comments in the capital were also passed on to Shen Qianchen. The eunuch who reported the words was a clever word, and he kept talking about various praises to Gu Jue, such as wise and wise martial arts, jade trees, unparalleled in the world, powerless without anger, killing and decisive, etc.
Shen Qianchen was overjoyed when she heard this. She liked someone to praise Gu Jue the most!
The eunuch said even more excitedly when he saw his master happy: "Empress, you didn't see it. The shopkeeper of that pub also set up a sign next to the table where you and the emperor had sat, saying 'The Holy Lord's visit', and also changed the name of the wine ordered by the emperor to 'Emperor'."
Shen Qianchen couldn't help laughing again, thinking that the shopkeeper would use his brain.
Shen Qianchen asked Amber to reward the eunuch, and lazily leaned on the beauty couch alone. Thinking about these things in the afternoon, he couldn't help laughing.
When Gu Jue came in, he saw Shen Qianchen rolling happily on the beauty couch with the black cat in his arms, while the cat held in her arms was not so pleasant. The cat twisted in her arms while "meowing meowing", but Shen Qianchen just didn't let go.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Jue's mood suddenly improved, and a light smile floated between his eyebrows.
For this fraud case, Gu Jue had just quickly summoned several ministers, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and the Zuodu Censor to the imperial study room and discussed it for nearly an hour.
The current Great Qi Dynasty seems to be stable, but in fact there are many hidden dangers. If you want to solve these hidden dangers, it cannot be achieved overnight. You must proceed step by step.
Gu Jue is just a person with an ordinary body. Whenever he faces these old problems, he feels tired and upset, but as soon as he sees his little girl, this fatigue will be wiped out.
"Jiuxia." Chen Qianchen smiled at Gu Jue.
As soon as her arms were loosened, the black cat squeezed out of her arms, kicked her back legs and ran away, leaving only a few tufts of black hair floating in the air.
Gu Jue couldn't help but chuckled.
The cat ran away, and Gu Jue sat next to Chen Qianchen instead.
The black cat jumped up to the window sill seemed to feel safe and squatted on the window sill. It licked its paws and gave Gu Jue a sympathetic look, thinking that Gu Jue was suffering on his behalf.
Chen Qianchen leaned over and approached Gu Jue and asked curiously: "Is the test pushed to a month later?"
"It's arranged after the Double Ninth Festival." Gu Jue nodded, "The examination room of the tribute school is too simple, and I also want to take advantage of this short time to quickly repair the tribute school..."
