"Since I ascended the throne, although I am not as good as Taizu, Emperor Chengzu worked hard and diligent in government affairs. He could not be considered a lazy king if he asked himself."

While speaking, Zhu Youxiao looked around at the officials under Dan, and continued slowly:

"I always worry and think about it. Every period of time, I will show my ancestors' merits, calm down in the morning, and overcome the mind of the day, so as to nourish the people's affairs. Nowadays, floods and droughts are frequent, the administration is defiled, and the people's livelihood is haggard. I should study and recuperate myself."

In fact, at this point, Zhu Youxiao's tone was very plain and he did not turn his back on it. At least it sounded kind and reasonable.

All officials were calm, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao changed his tone:

"The court's command to recruit scholars is my grace. There are rumors inside and outside the capital that the examiners are competing with the powerful and engaging in private fraud, and fanning each other's behavior."

All the officials' hearts trembled, they all knew that the emperor had gone around and finally got around.

"Who are you? You are my ministers!"

"I just regarded these words as rumors. Even if the matter of Zheng I-Pu was reported by Wei Zhongxian, I still have high hopes for you in my heart!"

Hearing this, all officials were surprised.

After all, although the incident of Zheng Wo Pu has been spread far, it has been limited to folk interesting stories. Apart from the tongue that Wei Zhongxian chewed, the emperor could not pay attention to it.

For a time, officials who claimed to be clear-headed were even more jealous of Wei Zhongxian and his subordinate eunuchs.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at everyone and said lightly:

"But how did Zheng I-Pu repay the court's grace? He formed a clique for personal gain and committed fraud in the imperial court. He did everything, and the cash silver seized was more than one million taels. Should this be the silver that he, a minister, should have?"

"So, I'm thinking now that some of the other rumors are based on practical reasons."

Zhu Youxiao sighed, leaned on the chair, and said slowly:

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that these rumors are true, I'm afraid that this test will be the court that deceives itself, and I believe you wrongly..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao stopped talking and stopped exercising his work. Instead, he looked at the officials under the Dan Pai.

All the officials looked at me and looked at you, and they were nervous and silent, because no matter who they were, there was something hidden in their hearts.

Even if it is not related to this matter, it is always bad to go out and show up in public.

"Gu Dazhang, are you waiting for me to call you in person?" When he said this, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his body was filled with a strong murderous aura.

"As the chief examiner of this examination, have you not noticed that the tribute students accounted for half of the quota on this gold list?"

All officials were silent and did not dare to say anything. At this time, they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it. How could anyone come up and get caught in the fishy body?

Gu Dazhang originally wanted to hide, but when he heard the emperor's call, he still felt sank. Then he stood up tremblingly, saluted, and said:

"Your Majesty, I have repeatedly verified the exam with twenty of you, and there is no omission!"

Seeing his confused look on his face, those who didn't know thought it was really rumored to blame him.

Before Zhu Youxiao said anything, the remaining examiners were shocked. You Gu Dazhang, you thought you were not dying fast enough, so you even pulled us up.

Just as their eyes were circling in their sockets and thinking about countermeasures, Zhu Youxiao looked over, laughed and said:

"You are right. I forgot that all the examiners, except Wei Guangwei, Zuo Guangdou, Liu Zongzhou, and Cui Chengxiu, all the other sixteen were unveiling their posts and leaving their names."

"Yuan Huazhong, Li Yuanjian, when will you two come out to explain? What are the rumors in Beijing now?"

Yuan Huazhong was one of the six gentlemen of Donglin. He had a high reputation among the people. Although he was only the deputy censor of the Censorate in the court, his status was also extremely prominent.

He immediately stood up and said righteously:

"I heard from Your Majesty, this is a rumor. Everyone knows how I am and how I am an official. I don't need to say much!"

"Those younger generations who write and reveal posts are just not good at learning skills, and they are indignant after failing the exam. I suggest that those who spread rumors and cause troubles are severely punished!"

Yuan Huazhong led the way, all the people involved in the case were in panic, and their courage also grew stronger. Li Yuanjian then said:

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"I have a family member who comes to Beijing and take the exam, but I have always placed him in the home of his relatives and cut off contact with him in order to avoid trouble and bring influence to Your Majesty and the court!"

"I ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this case. Do not easily believe the rumors. I will wait for justice!"

When he heard him say this, Zhu Youxiao's face became extremely exciting.

What a good guy, seeing this guy looking wronged and angry, he pretended to be like him!

If I hadn't received the news from Xu Xianchun and Huang Huatang early that Li Zhiling would be selling test questions with the tribute student in the Li Mansion, I wouldn't be able to tell at this time!

"Severe communication? What a severe communication!" Zhu Youxiao sneered, threw out a secret comment, and said, "The dignified third-rank official, a famous Donglin scholar, betrayed the emperor under my nose, and his face was not blushing or breathing!"

"I follow you, I will give justice to the poor people in the world who failed the exam!"

The secret memorial fell to the ground, and was circulated by Han Du, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wei Guangwei, and the military computer room.

Some of the people who saw them had pale faces, some were holding back their anger, and some were trembling all over, sweating profusely, fearing that the next one would be themselves.

When Li Yuanjian saw the secret song, his heart buzzed.

This memorial was originally written by Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and was verified by the confession of the merchant Huang Huatang and the test questions obtained in advance by Li Zhiling.

The secret report stated that the Beizhen Fufu Department secretly investigated Li Yuanjian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, used the power of the same examiner to collude with the other thirteen examiners, and ordered his clan Li Zhiling and tribute students Wang Ping'an, Zheng Jianluo and others to conspire to sell evidence of the test questions.

The ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain, and the certification of physical evidence is all there, and nothing to say is useless.

It's over, it's all over...!

The secret memo in Li Yuanjian's hand fell to the ground unconsciously. He also felt as if he heard the thunder and collapsed on the hall, under the Dan Pai.

"Your Majesty, I would like to behead Li Yuanjian!"

"What this villa does is rare in a thousand years and has never happened in history! If you do not punish severely, how can you show the people's power and how can you help poor people with virtue!"

"Your Majesty, Li Yuanjian must die!"

"Shame, this is a great humiliation!"

Under such a wave, Han Yu spoke out later. He stood up tremblingly and said with tears: "As the chief minister of the cabinet, I commanded all officials, and I am unclear in politics and cannot help you solve your problems, but this happened."

"I didn't know about the fraud in the test beforehand... Your Majesty, this matter shows that I am old and stupid. Please ask Your Majesty to let me resign and return to live my life."

As soon as the evidence came out, the civil and military officials in the court seemed to have a sudden realization. Whether they had a grudge against Li Yuanjian or their fellow party members who had visited the poetry club, they all spoke out and scolded.

It was not until I heard Han Yu's resignation that the palace was silent.

Zhu Youxiao turned his gaze and stared at Han Dong who was kneeling on the ground. This time, he did not directly allow him to get up as before.
