Chapter 291 Fraud?
"Maybe I really heard it wrong." Gu Qing also nodded.
After a fierce beating, Cheng Chumo walked over with a bruised face and said, "You two! You are so unfaithful."
"Has the matter been done?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's done." Cheng Chu said this and said with confidence, "Fortunately, I applied your master's medicinal wine in advance."
"Thank you..." Gu Qing looked at Cheng Chumo with a surprised look, "In advance?"
Cheng Chu nodded by default, "What's wrong?"
"Not what?" Gu Qing nodded melancholy.
A few days later, Fang Xuanling and a group of officials selected several better papers and sent them to Li Er. Li Er looked at the papers one by one, nodding and complimenting. When he saw a paper with very good handwriting, his handwriting was well written and answered well. After reading it, he saw that the last title was Pei Xingjian.
"This Pei Xingjian is good." Li Er nodded.
"This Pei Xingjian is a student of the academy." Fang Xuanling said.
"Let the Ministry of Personnel register the case, and let Pei Xingjian be the magistrate of Chang'an County." Li Er said with a smile.
?Die Renjie is very young. His Majesty made Di Renjie the young minister of Dali Temple. Pei Xingjian was also the magistrate of Chang'an County at the age of 11. Chang'an County Magistrate! Chang'an County Magistrate, which is an unusual county magistrate, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Magistrate, Pei Xingjian is only eleven years old now and is probably inappropriate to be Chang'an Order."
"If the house looks inappropriate, there will naturally be others who think it is inappropriate." Li Eryouyou said, "If Pei Xingjian can sit firmly by Chang'an Order and ask him to do Chang'an Order, if he can't sit firmly, then let him leave Chang'an and go to another place to be a county magistrate. Pei Xingjian is also the best-achieved in the academy. I want to see how capable the young talented man from this academy is. It is good to have knowledge, but whether he has the ability is another matter."
"Your Majesty regards Pei Xingjian as the touchstone of the academy?" Fang Xuanling was puzzled.
"Of course I mean that." Li Er nodded.
Fang Xuanling sighed.
The imperial examination was over and some people failed, some passed the imperial examination and became officials, officials from the Ministry of Personnel began to arrange students, some became officials in one fell swoop, some had to leave the stage silently, some were happy and some were sad.
Shangguan Yi, who was sweeping the floor in the academy, saw two teams of officials walking towards him and bowing.
One of the officials from the Ministry of Personnel came to Shangguan Yi and looked at him and said, "Are you Shangguan Yi?"
"It's just below." Shangguan Yi bowed and replied.
"Very good." The official of the Ministry of Personnel took out a set of official uniforms and said, "Congratulations, from now on, you will be a bachelor of Hongwenguan and a grandson of Shangguanyi."
Shangguan Yi looked at the official uniform with a hot look.
On the other side, there was also a team of officials standing in front of Pei Xingjian who was reading a book. Someone came and asked, "Do you dare to ask if it is Pei Xingjian?"
"It's the boy." Pei Xingjian replied.
Officials from the Ministry of Personnel handed over the official uniform, "Your Majesty is very fond of your literary talent and has written a good article. Your Majesty has ordered the Chang'an Order!"
Pei Xingjian couldn't speak for a long time.
After the imperial examination was over, Gu Qing also received news that Shangguan Yi became a bachelor of Hongwenguan and Pei Xingjian became the Chang'an Order.
Before Pei Xingjian took office, the court meeting was in trouble. Pei Xingjian took the Chang'an Order at a young age, which was really inappropriate! Regarding Li Er's decision, the censors in the court advised Li Er to take back Cheng's life, but Li Er did not make a clear statement.
This incident caused a stir in the court, and some even said that Pei Xingjian cheated! The invigilator for the imperial examination this time was Xu Jingzong, who was also from the academy. The editors of the academy and the academy students cheated on each other, and the storm spread over and over again.
Gu Qing, who heard the news, didn't care at all and said to the short man, "Tell the monk, tell him not to do anything."
The dwarf said puzzled again, "Just do nothing?"
"That's right!" Gu Qing nodded, "Xu Jingzong couldn't touch the imperial examination questions at all, so anyone with discerning eyes knew that this fraud was just groundless. Those who are clear will be clear and pretend that nothing had happened."
"But this is the first imperial examination since the palace took over the throne." The dwarf said again, "Now that the storm is so loud, I am afraid that the one in the palace will dismiss Pei Xingjian's official position and then detain him. Let's listen to it."
"What do you think the one in the palace will do now?" Gu Qing said with a smile.
"Investigate!" the dwarf replied, "Investigate thoroughly! Find out the truth and give an explanation."
"That's natural." Gu Qing said again, "Who will His Majesty ask to investigate?"
"Dali Temple..." The dwarf immediately understood, "Gu Too, tall!"
"So relax, eat and drink." Gu Qing stretched his arms and walked back home. "The monk is impatient. You have to tell him not to act rashly, otherwise the more he drew, the darker he got."
"I understand!" the short man nodded vigorously.
In the palace, Li Er had to look at the test papers that Pei Xingjian had written over and over again. Li Er knew whether there was any fraud. Both the Ministry of Personnel and the Secretariat understood that the test questions had been written and had not been out of the Ministry of Personnel and no one could have contacted them. He said that Xu Jingzong, a small editor, could not get the test questions. The fraud was groundless. Li Er was very interested in knowing where the gust of wind blew.
Pei Xingjian was the best in the imperial examination and the best in the academy. Some people wanted to ruin Pei Xingjian's future and even smear the academy.
Di Renjie from Dali Temple also learned the news. His Majesty ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter. The Minister of Dali Temple discussed with Di Renjie how to deal with this matter. No one in Dali Temple would treat Di Renjie as a child. Di Renjie was very talented in the case-breaking move.
There was a lot of discussion in the court and the public, and no one stood up to speak for Pei Xingjian and Xu Jingzong.
"Get the person." Di Renjie hesitated, "Go to the academy to get people, and take down Xu Jingzong and Pei Xingjian first."
"Didn't that confirm their crime?" said the Dali Temple Minister again, "I thought I would investigate first and then take people."
"The officials thought they would take the people first." Di Renjie said again, "If you take down the people, we will calm the storm first, and then thoroughly investigate it. As for whether the crime is confirmed, it is our opinion. If Pei Xingjian and Xu Jingzong are still outside, the storm will definitely become more and more intense. Dali Temple must have an action. This imperial examination is the top priority for Your Majesty."
"You mean to take people first and block their verbal words?" The Dali Temple Minister looked at Di Renjie.
"That's right!" Di Renjie also replied, "Get the person first, then check it! Start with the Ministry of Personnel."
This is a headache case. The Dali Temple Minister knew that if the case is not handled well, even the Dali Temple would be implicated and even the academy would be gained reputation.
