Chapter 144:

With the passage of time, one minute and one second, Qianqing Palace was quiet and scary.
Emperor Jiacheng seemed to be in a good mood. He called Nei Shi to change his tea. After drinking a cup of tea, he bet his eyes on Xue Tingyan, who had always been quiet.
Yes, very quiet.
People hardly feel his presence, but people are very surprised. Ming is not very young next year. Why is it like the old monk who has been in for many years?
Emperor Jiacheng knew that the veterans standing underneath, all of them had been trained as a calendar for more than a few decades, but this young man in front of him may not have twenty?
"I don't know where Xue Juren is?"
Emperor Jiacheng's speech made everyone's eyes condensed. Xue Tingyan didn't seem to notice these opportunities, and replied: "If you return to your majesty, the students are people from Xia County, Pingyang, Shanxi."
"Xia County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi? If I remember correctly, Shen Aiqing is a person from Xia County?"
After being named by your majesty, Shen Xue can no longer continue to pretend to die, pressing on his full heart and stepping forward: "His Majesty, Weichen is indeed from Xia County of Pingyang, but he has been away from home for many years. 'S memory has been blurred. "
Hearing his sigh, it seemed that some of the words meant something wrong, and the people present knew what Shen Xue said.
After many years of leaving home, even the memory of my hometown is blurred, and naturally there will not be any involvement with Xue Tingyan. But you Shen Xue left the house, but the Shen family is still in Pingyang, Xue Tingyan can pass through the customs and win four first names. Isn't it related to your Shen family?
Perhaps it was not only the voice of Wu Ge's old man, but also everyone present. As a result, no one talked, and Emperor Jiacheng also laughed away.
"It seems that seeing Xue Juren's age is not old?" Today's Jiacheng Emperor is deliberately strange. It is always cold-faced, but today it seems like a city woman who is questioning endlessly.
"If you go back to your majesty, the student will be nineteen."
"Nineteen, it's a young talent."
"Your Majesty praised it."
"But do you have a wife? I think you have a good-looking and deserving reputation, and there must be many women I admire?"
How do you say this? Fortunately, Xue Tingyan also experienced, natural soldiers came to cover the water.
"The student is married and has a son of two years old."
"They are all dads!" Emperor Jiacheng sighed and asked, "You will lift people up in the exam at such an age, but you don't know who you are following?"
The highlight is here.
In fact, long before Xue Tingyan entered the palace, his family background was investigated. Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say this, but at least Xue Tingyan is a teacher who studied under Lin Miao, who was a student of Zhongshushe, but is known to everyone.
This is also the main reason why many people have remained silent, but there is no easy thing when they are involved. Black and white is not clear, no one will take the initiative to mix into the muddy water, without this consciousness, they will not stand here today.
So when Emperor Jiacheng asked about this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but bet on it, with either a play, a scrutiny, or a malicious light.
Wu Ge Lao Ke has been waiting for this, which is one of the reasons why he has been unable to move like a mountain. Since he can sit in this position, he naturally has some speculations about the nature of today.
Emperor Jiacheng hated people playing tricks in front of him, so Xue Juren, who hit Deng Wengu, should answer this question.
"Her Majesty, the student teacher is a former editor of the Hanlin Academy and is currently in Lin Miao." To everyone's surprise, Xue Tingyan was a little frank.
"Lin Miao? Lin Sheren?" Emperor Jiacheng thought with some unclear attitude.
"Exactly."
This conversation between you and me is a bit tricky. Shouldn't it be the right way to deny it, or to deceive one or two, is this the right way? Does this person do not know what kind of identity Lin Miao is?
As for the misunderstanding? Who does n’t know how Lin Miao, a Chinese scholar, rose up? The crown prince was in trouble and Fu Youde was rejected. Before suppressing the Beilu line, none of these people present had ever done it.
In fact, some are not deliberately suppressed, but some positions should be occupied by virtuous people.
What is virtue? Naturally, there is a lot of good positions occupied by Beilu. No one has moved before, because Beilu is neutral, because Fu Youde is the Prince's teacher. But the crown prince was not good, Fu Youde fell, and apart from Fu Youde, there was really nothing to fear in Beilu, so when the person left, the tea should be cold.
But no one expected that His Majesty would actually mention Lin Miao. This is a signal that His Majesty still has an old sentiment towards the North Foot. As for this old sentiment, it's worth considering. But if Beilu does not give up, and wants to take the opportunity to stir the muddy water, this is the provocation to His Majesty, with his stubborn character, the result still need to say.
These thoughts flashed through the minds of many people present, including Xue Tingyan.
"Lin Miao? Lin Sheren are close ministers, often with me, why haven't he heard this?"
Emperor Jiacheng's voice was so soft that everyone couldn't help but hold his breath.
"The students do not know about this matter. If your majesty is curious, you should have asked the teacher."
This was a little disrespectful, but it made Emperor Jiacheng laugh: "I listen to what you said, and seem to have a grudge against your teacher?"
Xue Tingyan's face was almost stiff, and he was still young, how could he hide in front of these old-sighted people.
"Students don't dare to complain, the teacher is the student's professional teacher, and what they say and do is naturally for the good of the students."
There are too many meanings revealed in this remark. What Lin Miao said and done in the end will only make this small crowd so angry.
Yes, this person must have informed Lin Miao that his exam paper was replaced. As the successor of Fu Youde, Lin Miao had just been promoted. Now it is time for Tao Guang to keep a low profile. Naturally, he will not come forward for a student.
This matter is too big, one accident is to attack it in groups, the current situation in the north foot of the north foot can not afford to gamble. And this child is too young, and the young man got his ambition. It was at the time when his enthusiasm was so intense that he suddenly suffered so much. Naturally he felt resentful and he stabbed himself.
As for what consequences it may cause, it is not within the scope of his consideration. Juvenile Lang is not so natural, so he cannot live forever.
Emperor Jiacheng's eyes flashed, and said: "This Lin Miao is so timid and afraid that I didn't see it ..."
At this moment, Zheng Ancheng hurried in, holding several copies of the paper in his hand, without actually passing the hands of outsiders.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is not fortunate."
"Take it up."
The test paper was quickly put in front of Jiacheng Emperor, and Zheng Ancheng personally opened the seal on it. This seal was placed by the courtesy department, and the general examination papers will be sent back to the courtesy department after the inspection period has passed. After the etiquette verifies that it is correct, it will be sealed and archived.
The four examination papers were lined up, spread out in front of the Emperor Jiacheng, and beside them were the Zhujuan papers presented by Xue Tingyan. After seeing it, Emperor Jiacheng ordered people to prepare pens and ink for Xue Tingyan to write and inspect the handwriting on the spot.
Xue Tingyan took the pen handed over by the and wrote it on the tray held by another eunuch. It ’s just a blink of an eye, and a fine line is left on the good rice paper.
The held it up and showed it to Emperor Jiacheng. Emperor Jiacheng only glanced, and his face suddenly sank.
There was no warning, and he didn't know what he saw, so he would react so.
"Take it for Xue Juren to see." Emperor Jiacheng's tone was unpredictable, and people could not hear what he meant, but displeasure was obvious.
Several eunuchs came to Xue Tingyan with a copy of each.
Xue Tingyan was the first to see his own paper. Zhu Mo was present in both books. The home page was indeed his name, birthplace and other information, but he could stunned him by turning it over.
This handwriting is actually his handwriting!
He scanned the ink roll with great speed, and then went to see the Zhu Juan.
There is nothing abnormal on the roll surface, and the content on the Zhu roll is consistent with the ink roll. He reached up and picked up the Zhu Juan, and turned it back, with two points and three forks on it, the same as what he saw last time.
By this time, Xue Tingyan almost didn't need to read Wu Wenxuan's examination papers to know what was going on.
Someone forged the two-point paper.
The paper that was cut to Wu Wenxuan should have been his handwriting, but now he has changed a handwriting. Don't think that it is Wu Wenxuan's handwriting. Wu Wenxuan, who was supposed to have been exchanged for his exam papers today, clearly stated that the content was not written by him, but the handwriting was his.
Good means! No wonder Wu Ge was so calm, it turned out that he had prepared a few hands!
It is worthy of being an old Wu Ge who has been dying for many years, and he dare not move easily even today!
"Impossible! How is it possible!" Xue Tingyan couldn't believe it.
Yang Chonghua and others glanced at each other. The emperor Jiacheng didn't look well. Xu Shoufu had always sat down like an old monk. His whole eyes were half-dulled, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or what.
Old Wu Ge beckoned actively, and let the people bring the examination papers over to show him.
Emperor Jiacheng nodded, and the eunuchs holding the examination papers walked over. Old Wu Ge also called Feng Chengbao, Fei Qian and others to come to see them, and several people gathered around.
Feng Chengbao said: "From these two test papers and this handwriting, I can't see any clues. I don't know what Xue Juren explained?"
Fei Qian also smiled and said: "Xue Juren is playing with me?"
This hat is a little too big. Xue Tingyan is just a small lifter. These big officers are just one of them, they can be pressed to death by sticking their fingers, who dare to play tricks?
But the fact is that no clues can be distinguished from the scroll surface, and even if Xue Tingyan was asked to check his handwriting, he could not prove anything.
"Xue Tingyan, I wonder what else do you want to say?"
Under the eyes of everyone, Xue Tingyan's face was like a dyeing workshop, colorful and wonderful.
After a few moments, Xue Tingyan fell to his knees and said: "Your Majesty, what the students said is true. If the students deliberately lie, what explanation will the student ’s Zhujuan have. As for why this is the case now, the students do not know , Also look forward to His Majesty's Mingjian. "
"It's your handwriting on this scroll. It doesn't seem to be difficult to falsify."
Wu Gelao finally made a sound, but it was a fatal death. If this crime falls, as Xue Tingyan, he first denounced Deng Wengu and committed a taboo, and gathered people to make trouble, and also tried to deceive the monarch to come to the crowd for favor, how could it all end in a dead place.
"Your Majesty can be a student of the school, and the essays made by the students themselves can be reversed." Xue Tingyan was ashamed and still struggling in the end.
"Xue Juren said that it was a bit ridiculous. Who wouldn't know that after the test, Li Mo would post it. Can you recite the article and prove what?"
Yeah, nothing can be proved, it can be said that after reading the ink, it was deliberately memorized.
All eyes were fixed on Xue Tingyan, and he saw all kinds of colors flashing on his face, despair, horror, frustration, etc. In the end, everything fell into silence, and from the beginning to the end did not show who wanted to turn to anyone.
A bit of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Emperor Jiacheng, who was just about to say something, and suddenly Xue Tingyan spoke again.
"Students still have evidence."
"What evidence?"
"The student didn't want to say, after all, it's about the future of the student's friends, but now--" He paused and said hardly: "Someone deliberately set up a frame to go to the examinee, let him be coerced, and deliberately fall. To achieve the purpose of obtaining huge benefits. "
"Xue Juren, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Your Majesty, the student ’s sentence is true. If there is any falsehood, it will be a thunderstorm. And this matter has long been spread in private, but the students dare not say it and have nowhere to say it. The reason why the students dare to be so sure is because The person suffering this is a friend of the student ...
Xue Tingyan erased his deliberate follow-up and turned into an inadvertent encounter with Wang Xiu, who learned the specifics from Wang Xiukou. And because Wang Xiu is now a cross-street rat shouting, he took the other party's affairs.
"... Wang Xiu Ben had no intention of exposing this matter. After all, there is also a great reason why this matter is not correct enough for him, plus he knows that the other party's power is too great, lest he lose his life, he can only swallow the bitter water he has brewed. Your Majesty, Mo wants to punish Wang Xiu, he is also not familiar with world affairs, and this is the case if he is framed. "
After finishing his speech, Xue Tingyan fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"good very good!"
At this point, Jiacheng Emperor, who had always seemed a little careless, finally looked squarely.
Maybe he is not like the surface itself, but only to catch some fish, so deliberately. It's just obvious that what he said at this time was beyond his imagination.
I thought it was just someone interested in favoritism, but I didn't expect there was such a horrible thing.
It was spread in private, but no one dared to say it. Why? ! Naturally, because the other party showed too much power, everyone dare not say it. And this private gambling surname is not a matter of one day or two, otherwise why even ordinary people are involved.
Perhaps Xue Tingyan did not speak in such detail, but the words and phrases he said were enough to remind Jiacheng Emperor.
"This is a terrifying thing, Your Majesty must thoroughly investigate!" Xu Shoufu, who remained silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"The imperial court imperial court was used for favoritism and fraud, and it was also used for profit! Your majesty, the veteran minister was responsible for oversight, and he was responsible for oversight, and he hoped that his majesty would fall."
Xu Shoufu sighed to the Emperor Jiacheng: "I still look forward to His Majesty's Mingjian, who doesn't know that Tan Shangshu is dedicated to the court and has done his best. Because of the limited energy in these years, the affairs of the bureau have long been gone."
"This matter must not be tolerated." March said.
"It must be thoroughly investigated."
Several old patriarchs who had not spoken stood up one after another, including Yin Shun from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Wang Chongyao from Dali Temple, and Jiang Cheng, a general manager.
Except Wu Ge and Shen Xue.
Shen Xue was stunned for a moment, and then stood up too busy. Wu Ge's old face followed the embarrassing step.
With the order, Jiacheng Emperor's guards were dispatched one after another to bring back Wang Xiu, and several other routes went to the dark gambling nest in the Yaowang Temple respectively, and the main and deputy examiners and those same examiners will be tried. Mansion.
For a time, the city was turbulent, and the situation was unclear. It made everyone, big and small, in danger.
