Chapter 407: The Battle of the Guihai Gold List
"Please give yourself your own benefit!"
Looking at Liu Zongzhou who left in disappointment, Han Yu looked extremely ugly.
At this time, the housekeeper came hurriedly, looking panicked: "The second master is here, I'm afraid something big happened in the court, so I can't even care about going to the Ministry of Justice."
Han Du sighed when he heard this: "I still can't escape..."
Liu Zongzhou came to form a clan in Donglin and sold imperial examination questions. His clan brother Han Huan was able to become the head of the Ministry of Justice by gaining the blessing of his Donglin leader back then, so he could not avoid the common people.
He sighed and thought for a while. After all, the brothers could not be too heartless. Han Yu knew in his heart that he must have come to find a way to avoid disaster from him.
But since they had done this kind of thing without hiding it, it was a disaster for the entire Donglin. How could Han Du have the ability to avoid it?
Sighing, he said:
"I'll go to change my clothes and ask him to wait for me in the side room..."
After walking a few steps, Han Yu suddenly turned around and smiled, "By the way, I'll put together all the wine and food and go to the vegetable market to buy a big fish. I haven't said anything to this clan brother for a long time."
The news came out that the ministers of Donglin in the court and the scholars of Donglin in the court were now in chaos, like headless flies.
When Wei Zhongxian’s East Factory received news that the Jinyiwei frequently dispatched to arrest tribute students, the monk Zhang Er was confused.
"uncle!"
On the afternoon of the third day after Xu Xianchun arrested the person, Fu Yingxing rushed over and said to Wei Zhongxian: "The Beizhen Fushi has been doing things for several days, and I am afraid something big will happen."
Wei Zhongxian looked calm and said:
"What big move can you do? The Zhongyuan Festival Lantern Festival has just ended. I'm catching a few people at this critical moment. It's just that the Beizhen Fushi wants to expand its influence."
"Xu Xianchun wants to fight with me, but he is still a little tender."
In fact, Wei Zhongxian was right. Xu Xianchun was more capable than Liu Qiao, but he was still suppressed by Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian not only had Dongchang, but also the "eunuch party" that Zhu Youxiao relied on to check and balance the government, while Xu Xianchun only had the Jinyiwei. Although the emperor gave him flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring swords, his influence was still far from enough.
Fu Yingxing calmed down and said:
"Uncle, my eyes and ears in Suzhou said that Donglin tribute student Zhang Xiu has had close contact with fellow examiner Jiang Zhenye recently. It is said that he is holding some handle!"
"There's still this?"
Wei Zhongxian's expression changed, signaling Fu Yingxing to sit down, muttering: "The autumn examination of the second year of Tianqi was a big deal. From this point of view, the two things seemed to be related..."
Fu Yingxing also remembered it and quickly said: "Last year, a student from Jiashan named Zhang Zhuo, who wrote a post to mock the chief examiner of the Qiu Examination, Liu Zongzhou, for committing personal fraud, which caused a stir in the local area."
"Just..." Wei Zhongxian suddenly sneered, "It's just that His Majesty was still on the southern tour at that time and didn't care about this matter. He has been forgotten until now."
"Last autumn examination was indeed full of disadvantages. Since Donglin was expelled from the government, he was angry and used such despicable tricks to try to return Donglin to the court. It was really easy to plot!"
As for this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately made a decision, stood up and said:
"Send someone to Suzhou to bring back this lock named Zhang Xiu, and arrange a random title, and this governor will interrogate it in person!"
Fu Yingxing turned around and left, saying:
"Okay! I'll go to Suzhou in person!"
......
Within a few days, not only the Beizhen Fushi frequently dispatched people to arrest people, but even the East Factory got involved, and the Tiqi left Beijing and headed straight to Suzhou.
A few days later, Fu Yingxing rushed back excitedly with a happy look on his face: "Uncle, happy event, happy event! Zhang Xiu has been locked and taken back to Beijing. Before I could torture him, he was so scared that he peed his pants."
"According to him, the evidence of the same examiner Jiang Zhenye's corruption and bribery was obtained by him, and he went to blackmail him more than 10,000 taels of silver!"
"The East Factory has always had evidence of corruption and bribery, but these are all small fish and shrimps, so I am too lazy to take action."
Wei Zhongxian didn't believe it was just such a small matter. In the past few days, he also ordered people to find out the news about the incident after the autumn examination last year. Combined with it, he felt that the Donglin Party was plotting something big.
How could I easily let go of this good opportunity to seek credit from Emperor Tianqi?
"Come on, come and see..." Wei Zhongxian waved at Fu Yingxing and sneered:
"Last year's autumn examination list was released, and the local scholars did make a fuss. Only then did this governor realize that the Donglin scholars on the autumn examination list last year were seven of them."
"Since this way, the scholars from all over the country who failed the exam naturally disagreed. This led to these revelations of the chief examiner Liu Zongzhou taking care of his disciples and using personal gain."
Even Fu Yingxing saw that things were not simple. After Wei Zhongxian's guidance, he understood it all at once and said with a smile:
"Uncle, it seems like this is a good show!"
"Do we want to do it?"
Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty still has to wait for what His Majesty means. Your Majesty must have known this a long time ago."
Fu Yingxing was a little strange.
"What is Your Majesty waiting for?"
Wei Zhongxian shook his head, then laughed loudly, without answering.
......
Two months later, the third-year Apocalypse Examination was successfully concluded and the list of the Golden List was released all over the world.
But this exam did not have the same festive celebration as in previous years as the festivals. Instead, it caused an uproar and the discussions were booming. The scholars from all over the country who failed the exam again could not bear it, and snowflakes came one after another.
All subjects in the court come every day, and these things are accused of the chief examiner Gu Dazhang and fellow examiners Li Yuanjian, Jiang Zhenye and others of forming cliques to provide convenience for Donglin tribute students.
Even anonymous tribute students revealed shocking information, saying that Liu Zongzhou, the left censor of the Censorate, was also involved in the matter, and the list of high-ranking officials in the court was listed!
For a time, life inside and outside the capital was full of energy.
Qian Han, a Sichuan supervisor, arrived in Beijing one year in advance to prepare for the three-year examination of the Tianqi period, but when this matter failed, he was indignant and attacked the first.
The student named Qian Han sent the letter to the Shuntian Prefecture Office, exposing the fraud of the same examiner Li Yuanjian, and made his high school gold list such as Li Zhiling, a son in his clan, despised.
Then, there was news that three juren from Hangzhou were drunk and beaten to death by a high school Jinshi Donglingong to death on the street.
News came out one after another, and all the officials in the court were frightened. The incident was so troubled that no one expected it in advance.
Now the situation of scholars from all over the country being angry and unsuccessful has long been unable to stop. The Jinshi, who used to be the Golden List of High Schools, has now become rats crossing the street, and everyone is calling for a fight.
The emotions of the people in various places were also stirred up by these situations and became increasingly fierce. Even the street talks were used as topics of discussion and talked about them with relish.
In addition, some people are fueling the fire and making a big fuss, fearing that the world will not be in chaos, and spreading rumors everywhere, and the government and the public are also talking about the sound of the waves higher and higher, without any intention of calming down.
Almost everyone was waiting enthusiastically, waiting to see what this matter would develop in the future and what good shows there were.
......
The weather in September is pleasant and the scenery is as green as the sea.
Undercurrents in the court, and local controversies were boiling, but Zhu Youxiao ignored them and led the guards to patronize Nanhaizi again. Looking at the surrounding green, he smiled:
"This is a good time to hunt!"
