Chapter 163 Crazy Emperor Shows His Power

The news of the failure of the students causing trouble came soon after the news came, the memorials from the Ministry of Rites, Censorate, Personnel and other yamen flew over like snowflakes.

When Taichang saw the memorial handed over by the eunuch party, he couldn't help but sneer.

These corrupt officials are still playing this trick with me!

He originally planned to take action after the palace examination, but now it seems that the eunuchs can't wait to be reincarnated.

If a tiger does not show its power, you should be my sick cat!

Punishment and fraud, right?

OK!

He picked up his pen and wrote a list.

These are all eunuch party invigilators who committed favoritism and fraud in the examination, and they are also the marking officers who made Wu Kongjia and others pass the preliminary examination.

Whichever reviewer asked which number of transcripts passed the preliminary selection, there was a record. The number of the transcripts was compared with the answers of Wu Kongjia and others. That was the ironclad evidence!

It’s so proof that it’s not easy to deal with your stuff!

He finished writing the list and immediately said loudly: "Transfer to Luo Yangxing."

Luo Yangxing has also become a little capable after this period of cultivation.

So, this time, he was going to let Luo Yangxing go to the forensics and deal with these eunuchs’ invigilators.

Luo Yangxing didn't know that the emperor prepared a big meal for him, so he just thought it was the emperor and he was planning to accompany him to a private visit.

Although it was a bit dangerous for a private visit on a mini-server, it was actually quite fun. Last time his father followed the emperor, he still had a little regret.

This time the emperor actually came to him again, and he was so happy.

He came to the imperial study room happily, and after he respectfully saluted, he waited for the emperor to summon people and prepare to set off.

Unexpectedly, Taichang picked up a list directly and said coldly: "Turn all these people into the imperial prison, torture them severely, and let them honestly explain how they cheated in the imperial examination, and who were the candidates who cheated with them!"

ah?

Test fraud case!

This is a big case.

What a big case, let him handle it?

He really felt like he was driven to the shelves.

To be honest, he used to be a second-generation ancestor, specializing in naughty and naughty.

His father even looked at him with a headache, and Zhang Miaoling, the eldest sister among the noble children, caught him and scolded him many times.

During this period, he took on errands from the Beizhen Fushi Department and became much more mature. At least, he was no longer naughty and mischievous.

However, he was really unsure of asking him to handle such a big case.

He thought for a while, then he asked carefully: "Master, can I torture it directly when I catch it? What should I do if they don't help me or they are randomly crawling and biting me?"

This kid still has a brain, but he is used to being a second-generation ancestor and is too lazy.

Taichang taught seriously: "How did they cheat? What are the candidates who cheat with them? These are all evidence. Bi Maokang has sorted out the evidence. You can just ask him to get it."

Well, there is evidence and torture!

Does this mean to catch people and punish them to death?

Luo Yangxing asked carefully: "Your Majesty, are you going to fight until they are attacked? What if someone can't die if he can't bear the torture?"

Taichang said coldly: "This is not the point. After all these people are tortured, you can take out the evidence of cheating to make them sober. Next, we will continue to ask them all about the activities of the eunuch party. If they don't take action, they will beat them to death. If they are beaten to death, they will beat them to death. If you beat them to death, you will beat them to see what happened to the death of the eunuch prison in front of them?"

Well, the emperor means he is going to attack the eunuch party!

Luo Yangxing quickly took the list and bowed and said, "I understand, I will do it now."

After saying that, he respectfully stepped out.

These officials who are promiscuous and fraud can be arrested and punished to death, but the candidates who participated in the examination cannot be punished like this. If they may be aggravated by all scholars in the world, it will be a big trouble. Emperor Hongwu dare not do this!

Taichang thought about it carefully again before saying aloud to the door: "Go, go and enter the palace in the first five exams, and accompany me to have lunch."

It is not surprising that the emperor invites candidates on the list, but the Qionglin banquet is usually held after the palace examination.

It is really strange to invite candidates after the exam.

Wen Zhenmeng, Ni Yuanlu, Huang Daozhou, Liu Lishun, and Wang Duo entered the palace for no reason and came to the lobby where the emperor had a meal.

What unexpectedly surprised them was that the emperor had been sitting there waiting for them!

This face was a bit too great, and the five of them hurriedly kowtowed respectfully on the ground and said, "Students pay homage to the emperor."

Seeing this, Taichang hurriedly stood up, walked up to them, bent down, grabbed Wen Zhenmeng's arm, and said kindly: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, this is the place to eat, not in the court, there is no need to give this great gift."

The five people are inexplicably confused. What exactly is the emperor trying to do?

They were pulled up by Taichang and sat down one by one around the big round table, until the emperor ordered the food to be served, and they were still confused.

What is the emperor's imperial banquet like?

Six people, six dishes, chicken, duck, fish soup, and a side dish, just like folk entertainment customers!

Seeing this, the five people were shocked.

Seeing this, Taichang smiled and said, "Why, do you want to eat delicacies? Those things are not cheap. Now the court needs money everywhere, but I don't have the money to buy them. Besides, I can't get used to those, so you just do it."

Uh, that's what it said.

Wen Zhenmeng quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, the students don't want to eat some delicacies, but the students just didn't expect the emperor to live so poorly."

The other four people also nodded repeatedly to show their agreement.

Taichang waved his hand, asked Wen Zhenmeng to sit down, and continued to smile and said, "You may think I am pretending to show you, right? To be honest, I am not pretending. When I led my troops to Liaodong to fight, each meal was only a portion of stewed meat, and it wasn't as good as this."

When the five people heard this, they looked extremely respectful and did not dare to do anything.

The emperor personally conquered Liaodong and everyone in the world knew that on the battlefield, it was naturally impossible to have delicacies every time, and the emperor did not need to deceive them with this.

Taichang ordered someone to drink wine again, and then introduced: "This wine is a good tribute wine, which is very valuable outside. However, don't worry, this wine is tributed by the local government, and there is no need for the court to spend money. You can drink whatever you want."

He is creating his own frugal image. As for why, he naturally wouldn't tell the five people.

Immediately afterwards, he poured himself a glass of wine, then stood up and raised his glass, "Five talents are so talented that I have only seen you in my life. Come on, I wish you a cup."

The five people quickly got up and raised their glasses, saying repeatedly, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it."

Taichang toasted this glass of wine, greeted everyone with a few more bites of food, and then raised his glass and said, "The five people are full of their hearts to serve the country, and I feel very relieved. Come on, I wish you another cup."

I can't say I dare not take this.

The emperor could see that their sincere desire to serve the country really touched them, so they quickly stood up and raised their glasses to thank them.

Taichang toasted this glass of wine, greeted everyone with a few bites of food, then raised his glass and said, "Come on, I wish you another cup, I hope you can become a wise minister who truly serves the country and the people."

The emperor clearly saw their talents and was ready to cultivate and reuse them!

It's time to show loyalty.

The five people quickly got up and raised their glasses, showing their loyalty sincerely.

After three cups of good tribute wine, I was a little bit overwhelmed. After the five of them showed their loyalty, they really regarded themselves as loyal ministers and virtuous people.

Taichang then picked up the chopsticks and greeted earnestly: "Come on, after drinking three glasses of wine, everyone can eat as much as you want."

After three glasses of wine, the five people felt that the emperor had become much closer. They were not so restrained, so they all picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing this, Taichang said kindly to Ni Yuanlu: "Ru Yu, your name is the same as Ni Yuangong, the governor of Suzhou, right?"

Ni Yuanlu nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Ni is the student's cousin. He often mentions your kindness to the people of Suzhou in front of the students."

Taichang couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, those mine tax envoys and corrupt officials are really brave. Not only do they catch the common people and even dare to kill me! You don't know that that time was really dangerous!"

Immediately afterwards, he actually told in detail about the experience of Suzhou Prefecture.

The five people didn't follow him, so naturally they didn't know the danger, and Ni Yuanlu didn't know it either, because Ni Yuangong took office after the danger.

When Taichang said this in person, the five of them were stunned.

These guys are so brave that they actually blatantly chased the emperor!

Taichang told the five people his own stories like a family, and then asked them about their views on corrupt officials and eunuchs. They had invisibly classified these five people into their own side, and their enemy was naturally eunuchs!

The wine was almost done, and the five of them could no longer help but scold the corrupt officials and eunuchs, and the temperature was almost the same.

Taichang suddenly put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Wu Kongjia, Li Jiantai, Zhang Douyao and others are causing trouble with the students who failed the exam. Do you know?"

These five people naturally knew that, but they were on the tribute list and ranked in the top five. They were not familiar with the students who failed the exam, so they didn't care much.

Immediately afterwards, Taichang said coldly: "In fact, those leaders have long been secretly worshipping Wei Zhongxian's disciples and become Wei Zhongxian's followers. Moreover, there were eunuch party officials who helped them cheat during the examination. I naturally would not let them on the list of such scumbags!"

Damn, it turns out that these people are all eunuchs and they cheated in the imperial examination!

Huang Daozhou couldn't help but curse, "The thief called to catch the thief, it's shameless! The emperor, the students are not talented, but they can't see such shameless people. The students will expose their true faces."

After saying that, he actually got up and wanted to leave. The other four hurriedly stood up and bowed to leave.
