Chapter 78 Thorough investigation of imperial examination fraud(1/2)
The opposing people arrested batch after batch, and in the end there was no place to settle them in the prison, but there was still a lot of opposition outside.
Sheng Qingyuan was so angry that he couldn't sleep well, so no matter how Chen Zhao comforted her, it was useless.
Sheng Qingyuan held a bottle of poison in his hand and asked Chen Zhao: "If I poison all the officials, can I release all the scholars? Can I replace them with a group of normal people again Go to be an official?"
This was the first time Chen Zhao saw Sheng Qingyuan so angry, and hurriedly said, "There will be results today. If you wait for another hour, you will be results at noon at the latest."
Sheng Qingyuan was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling, and asked Xuanyu: "How is the situation in each prison? Are there any torture?"
Xuan Yu said, "The first group of passive sentences that were imprisoned was too many people behind him to be beaten."
"Have you sent all the wounded medicine to them?" Sheng Qingyuan asked.
"It's already sent."
"Remember to observe their situation more and don't let them get sick inside." Sheng Qingyuan said.
When you think of the little unhappiness of the superiors, you can trample on the future and even your lives of the students who have worked hard for so many years.
After Xuan Yu left, Sheng Qingyuan said to Chen Zhao: "If you are in power in the future and there will be such a ridiculous thing happening, I will poison you to death."
Chen Zhao couldn't laugh or cry.
This is purely innocent anger.
"I will do my best to ensure that this will not happen." Chen Zhao solemnly promised.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish.
It is impossible to ensure that all the officials below are honest officials and good officials.
We can only ensure that what most officials do is worthy of the people.
This matter was so annoying that Chu Xuanjin was a big shot. He looked at the officials below and said, "What are you doing each of you doing?! It's been a few days, and you still don't have a solution! Those people are still Have you taken the imperial court seriously?!"
Everyone lowered their heads.
It is not difficult to fundamentally solve this problem, but it depends on whether you can make up your mind.
And many officials present are among the beneficiaries behind this incident, so how can they be willing to take the initiative to kill their own benefits for the sake of ordinary people?
"If you can't think of a solution, you'll cut off all the troublemakers!" Chu Xuanjin was so upset.
All the ministers knelt down one after another: "Please think twice."
The previous punishment was already very heavy, and now it has obviously aroused public anger. If they were killed, the capital would be filled with blood!
"Think twice, you think about it for me! There is no useful way, all waste is waste!!" Chu Xuanjin smashed all the things on the table.
Chu Xuanjin couldn't bear to smash Zuo Ye, and Cheng Yi was the first to be hit.
But Cheng Yi could only watch these things hit him.
I dare not move or speak.
An eunuch came and reported to Chu Xuanjin: "Report to your Majesty, Master Han is here outside the hall and said there is a solution."
"Gei Master Han?" Chu Xuanjin's eyes quickly flashed through his eyes.
His dislike is Han Shouli.
This person only knows how to hold all kinds of great principles every day. In Han Shouli's eyes, he seems to have never done the right thing.
If Han Shouli hadn't been conscious of his own mind, he would have driven him away one day sooner or later.
However, no matter how stupid Chu Xuanjin is, he knows Han Shouli's position in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Not to mention scholars all over the world, most of the civil servants in this hall can be called Han Shouli’s students.
"Let him come in." Chu Xuanjin waved his hand and said.
Then let's see what he can do.
"Master Han Ge, I heard that you have a way to calm the anger of the people outside. I wonder what you can do?" Chu Xuanjin asked.
Han Shouli said indifferently: "It's very simple, two
One step."
"Oh? It can be solved in two steps?" Chu Xuanjin sat upright.
Zuo Ye frowned and looked at Han Shouli.
Han Shouli said calmly: "First, thoroughly investigate those who participated in the imperial examination fraud and severely punish them; second, retake the exam."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Xuanjin stood up and said, "Gei Master Han, do you know what you said?"
Han Shouli looked at Chu Xuanjin calmly and asked, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, I wonder what I said wrong? The fraud in the imperial examination has always been a pain in the officialdom and the sadness of the people. Is it wrong to investigate and return the imperial examination hall to a bright future?"
Chu Xuanjin opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
Han Shouli looked at the ministers again: "What do you think? Should you investigate thoroughly?"
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Han Shouli raised his lips and smiled lightly, and said to Chu Xuanjin: "Your Majesty, all of you have agreed to this method."
Everyone subconsciously looked up at him and wanted to refute, but they didn't dare to say it when they were on their lips.
Zuo Ye asked Han Shouli, "I don't know what the cabinet master said, how should we punish severely?"
Han Shouli said, "That depends on how serious the impact this person has on the scientific research."
Zuo Ye once again questioned: "But according to the Ge Lao's intention, we need to conduct thorough investigations and re-examinations, which took too much time. Moreover, if this matter was spread to other countries, wouldn't our Great Zhou become
Other countries laugh at the laughing stock?”
When Chu Xuanjin heard this, his face became much more serious, and he also disagrees with Han Shouli more.
Han Shouli said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that since there is pain, I should be brave enough to expose the wounds so that I can cure them better. A thorough investigation of this matter can further prove our Great Zhou attaches importance to the imperial examination, to the people and scholars.
The importance of this can also prove the courage and determination of our Great Zhou court."
Han Shouli continued, "Your Majesty, water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. Now the public is full of grievances outside, and nothing more than the fairness of the court has been lost. What they want is very simple, it is just an opportunity to compete fairly."
Han Shouli looked at everyone and said, "Also, I believe that most of my colleagues should not be so confused. I will take the exam again. I believe that my grandfathers will not be able to defeat you. I may have a few extra days.
The review time can also make you perform better."
These words blocked everyone's mouths.
Why don’t you dare to make a thorough investigation? Is it because you have also participated in the fraud?
Why don’t you dare to ask for a retake? Do you think you are not strong enough?
If you are innocent and have enough strength, what's there to be afraid of?
Han Shouli asked Chu Xuanjin again: "I ask your Majesty again to agree to thoroughly investigate the fraud case of the imperial examination and hold a joint examination and re-examination at a date!"
"What about the scholars who insulted the court?" Chu Xuanjin asked.
Han Shouli asked, "You dare to ask your Majesty, what are they scolding?"
"They scolded..."
Cheng Yi, who has always acted as a transparent person, said: "They question the injustice of the imperial examination and have committed fraud."
Han Shouli nodded clearly, "If it is confirmed that there is indeed fraud in the imperial examination, they will only tell the truth. I think they are innocent and should give some compensation for their harshness against them these days."
"Do you have to compensate them?" Chu Xuanjin was so angry that he immediately wanted to refute.
But as soon as Han Shouli finished speaking, several ministers came out from behind and said, "I'm going to discuss it."
Han Shouli looked at Chu Xuanjin and said, "I believe that your Majesty's previous decision was just blinded by villains, and the truth was distorted. Your Majesty is always kind and generous. Most of the scholars are young and young, and how can they compare with Your Majesty's mind.
."
Chu Xuanjin's irritable heart slowly calmed down when he heard Han Shouli's words.
Well... he also thinks he, the emperor, is doing a good job.
Han Shouli continued, "Besides, your Majesty will make them more convinced of Your Majesty. They will definitely believe that Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and will definitely be more loyal to Your Majesty and to the Great Zhou in the future."
Chu Xuanjin was not very angry as he listened, "It's still the reason why Master Ge said it. Since that's the case, then do it according to Master Ge's wishes."
Cheng Yi said at this time: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the re-examination of the Communist Party of China is better than to let the cabinet be responsible. With the cabinet, it is believed that the students and the people will convince them."
"I'm going to discuss it."
Some ministers quickly echoed.
They also passed the exam in this way, so they naturally knew the hardships and the bitterness.
I have been wet with the rain, even if I don’t hold an umbrella for others, I can’t tear my umbrella.
"So as the Prime Minister said." Chu Xuanjin's Mao was comforted and agreed very happily.
"Does the Grand Master have any objections?" Finally, Chu Xuanjin asked Zuo Ye again.
Zuo Ye's eyes at Shang Cheng Yi and Han Shouli still swallowed all the words back.
"I think the case proposed by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister is very good, I have no objection."
"That's good, that's good." Chu Xuanjin said with satisfaction.
