Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 223 Deploy troops to seal off the Gongyuan!Hurry up and invite my uncle!

A word fell, and there was a loud sound.

Not to mention Song Qiaonian, even the censors were dumbfounded and stared at Zheng Guan dumbfounded.

Why is this guy so gutsy?
These censors didn't make too much trouble with Song Qiaonian, but who would have thought that this examinee would have such courage.

You are a good candidate!Where did he have the courage to go against the dignified deputy Zhi Gongju and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites?

Have you thought about the consequences?

To put it lightly, the test will be useless, but to put it seriously, Juren's fame may not be preserved, and even if you are given a reputation for cheating, it is possible to send you to the army...

Song Qiaonian glared, with a dangerous look on his face, and he spotted the speaker in the crowd at a glance.

It turned out to be him!

Song Qiaonian narrowed his eyes.

Zheng Guan raised his head without fear, and looked at him.

"Come on! Grab it!"

Song Qiaonian is merciless, let alone an uncle at this time, even if grandpa is making trouble here, he will not show any mercy!
This is not only related to him alone, but to the entire Tsai Party.

Although the Zheng family has some reputations, it is not enough to put it here.

"Disturb the test, take it into custody first, and send it to the Criminal Department for interrogation after the test is over!"

As soon as Song Qiaonian finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers surrounded him with a huff.

The faces of the irrelevant disciples around were pale, and they subconsciously gave way to allow the soldiers to come directly to Zheng Guan's side.

Zheng Guan showed no fear, still staring straight at Song Qiaonian, and asked loudly: "Master Song, why do you avoid talking about it? The examination is a grand ceremony for the imperial court. It should be upright and frank. Is there anything else that can't be done?" Did you say that?"

A cold look flashed in Song Qiaonian's eyes, and he ignored him at all.

"stop!"

Yao Ziang came to Zheng Guan's side at some point, and looked up at Song Qiaonian: "Master Song, it would be too arbitrary to arrest and convict a candidate based on this alone."

It was Zheng Guan who told him about his exam questions just now, and now Yao Ziang is also reciprocating, and will help him as much as he can.

If this candidate really fell into Song Qiaonian's hands, the rest of a Juren's life would be completely ruined.

"The officer never said that he would be convicted, but he was taken first and left for interrogation."

Song Qiaonian left enough leeway in his words, one is to shut Yao Ziang's mouth at this moment, and the other is to negotiate with the Zheng family in Xingyang, what if they are willing to make some concessions for Zheng Guan?

However, in Yao Ziang's view, this is just perfunctory.

Don't convict him now, and convict him later, no one can say anything about him.

It was also sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation. Who doesn't know that the Ministry of Criminal Justice wears a pair of pants with you?
But before he could open his mouth, Zheng Guan continued to shout loudly: "Master Song, why did you avoid speaking? Are you going to arrest me? Is there really something ulterior about leaking this question?"

Now that he had achieved his goal, the turmoil in the field gradually subsided. Almost everyone looked at Song Qiaonian, the Deputy Chief Gongju, and some even started whispering. Their eyes made Song Qiaonian's complexion even more livid.

"Grab it!"

Song Qiaonian pointed at the soldiers and shouted angrily, "What are you doing standing still!!"

"The imperial court has its own conclusions about right and wrong, how can you allow a yellow-mouthed child to bark here!"

The soldiers rushed over immediately, Zheng Guan was tall and strong, and subconsciously wanted to fight back, but he held back when the situation came to an end, even though the soldiers restrained him, they kept shouting:

"Master Song, do you not know, or are you unwilling to tell? Why do you want to keep your mouth shut?"

Song Qiaonian's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, deliberately not looking at Zheng Guan, but looking at the other Juren present with cold eyes.

"Leave quickly after the exam, don't stay any longer!"

He originally thought that Zheng Guan's end would scare the others, but he didn't expect it to be the opposite.

Yan Zhenqing took a deep breath, and was about to speak when a deep voice came from the side.

"Master Song, although the imperial court has its own conclusions, we are just participating in the examination, so why can't we say this is the examination?"

Everyone looked over in astonishment, and found that it was the black-faced Bao Zheng who spoke.

Yan Zhenqing also hurriedly followed, raised her head and said to Song Qiaonian: "Master Song, we are the candidates for the exam. If we really leak the questions in the exam, wouldn't it be unfair to us?"

"What's the harm in asking the court?"

Although the other candidates did not speak, they had already expressed their attitudes without turning around and leaving.

The censors around secretly lamented that this year's candidates were really reckless.

Even the vice magistrate Gongju dared to be tough, which was unimaginable in previous years.

"Now is the time for the trial, no matter what you have to do, you have to wait until the trial is over!"

Song Qiaonian's face turned livid and black: "If you really plan to join forces with him, then stay here!"

He had scruples in his heart, and he didn't let the soldiers arrest all these people directly.

It's normal to catch one, but if you catch seven, eight, or a dozen at a time, the matter will not end.

What's more, the juren here seem to be well-known. If they are really arrested, it is inevitable that other juren will complain about them and go to Jingzhao Mansion or other yamen to make trouble.

What Song Qiaonian is most afraid of now is that things will go wrong.

It's just that the development of the matter was not as he wished, these people were still standing here straight, the black silk robes with round necks on their bodies fluttering with the cold wind, and there was no intention of moving at all.

"Arrest them all! Detain them! Send them to the prison of the Criminal Ministry!"

Song Qiaonian also became ruthless, now that the situation is urgent, there must be a choice!

He gritted his teeth in hatred today, if eyes could hurt people, Zheng Guan and the others would have died a hundred times already.

Song Qiaonian has secretly decided that these people must not make things easier.

Don't look at them as Juren and cannot use torture, but the Ministry of Punishment has many ways to punish people.

Not to mention anything else, as long as these people are put together with those vicious prisoners, locked up for half a day, they can lose their skin!
With Zheng Guan and Yan Zhenqing's demonstration, several examinees did not resist, but let the soldiers arrest them, but they were still talking and questioning Song Qiaonian loudly.

"Wait a minute!"

Yao Ziang shouted loudly, causing the soldiers to pause again.

"Take them all away!"

Song Qiaonian yelled coldly, and now he didn't want the candidates to stay any longer.

"Master Song, the censor has rushed to the imperial city just now to report on this matter!"

Yao Ziang stared at him straightly: "Presumably His Majesty and all the adults in the court have already known about this, and the people from the court are already on their way!"

"Don't Master Song wait for the people from the court to come before making a decision?"

"This pass is Zhi Gong Ju, who has the right to handle this matter!"

Song Qiaonian looked at him coldly: "The matter is urgent, I must quell the commotion now, lest anyone interfere with the exam in the Tribute Court."

"What the people from the imperial court will do afterward is an afterthought!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Take me away!!"

The soldiers immediately stopped hesitating and escorted the group of Juren to leave.

"you……"

Yao Zi's face turned red with anger, but what Song Qiaonian said made sense.

Moreover, the matter of the examination room of the Gongyuan is respected by the Zhigong Ju, and they, the censors, can only supervise the Shangzuo, and have no right to comment on it.

Seeing these thorns being escorted to the sidelines, Song Qiaonian's gloomy face did not ease, because these people were still chattering non-stop, talking about leaking things.

But Song Qiaonian couldn't keep their mouths shut. If he really wanted to do this, it would appear that he was too guilty, and he would also give these censors a bad tongue...

Song Chaonian was trying his best to endure, but he still didn't expect that an accident would happen before the Juren took a few steps.

"Surround them all! No one is allowed to escape!"

I don't know when, teams of imperial guards with bright swords and armor have surrounded the entire Xiuzhengfang!
Then the family members of the candidates here were in an instant chaos, screaming and about to run out.

"I don't know what's going to leak the test, I want to go home!"

"Masters, I'm here to pick up our master, I really don't know what to try!"

"Our master suddenly fell ill, I beg all the military masters to give him a way to survive and let him go out to see a doctor..."

There were screams and cries, and the whole street became chaotic in an instant.

Huben Guard!
Song Qiaonian looked at the well-equipped imperial guards from afar, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't show any panic.

Everyone in the court knows that Hubenwei is now under the orders of Tang Guogong.

And a few of them in the Cai party know that the relationship between Tang Guogong and Cai Jing is very good...

"Go back all of them, or shoot and kill!"

None of those who tried to run out succeeded, and they were all forced back by the shining spears of the imperial guards.

A general dressed in mountain armor, with a Chinese character face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, rode a tall red horse and led a group of cavalry slowly through the crowd. Those who stood in front of them screamed and gave way.

Seemingly slow, but actually fast, these cavalrymen soon arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Zheng Guan's eyes lit up when he saw the leading general.

But this person ignored Zheng Guan, and looked coldly at Song Qiaonian at the gate of the Gongyuan.

"The adults in the court and His Majesty have already known about the matter of leaking the test questions. Now His Majesty has ordered Tang Guogong to deal with this matter, and he will arrive later!"

~~
A few minutes ago.

The spies returned to the imperial city one by one, and rushed to the various yamen in the imperial city and the palace city. After a while, the censors who had returned from Xiufang came back and ran to the censor platform.

Only a moment later, Wei Zheng and Qin Hui led a large group of officials out of the Yamen, and headed for Ziwei Hall in a mighty manner.

Li Gan didn't go outside the Gongyuan to watch the excitement today, in fact he had expected that someone would come to him.

"Your Majesty, they are here."

The old eunuch hurried into Dongnuan Pavilion: "President Qin, Doctor Wei, Chief Sima of the Ministry of War..."

Li Gan took a long breath when he heard the words, calmed down a little, and then said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch responded and ran out quickly.

After a while, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

A large number of civil servants headed by Qin Hui and Wei Zheng poured into the study.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

Li Qian looked at them in puzzlement: "Why do you and your family come here hand in hand today? Is there something wrong?"

A group of ministers hastily saluted, Wei Zheng raised his head first, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, there is a report from the censor, and we will try to vent the questions!"

"what?"

Li Gan was taken aback for a moment, as if shocked by the news.

Qin Hui took a deep breath, and added from the side: "Your Majesty, the exam questions have been leaked ahead of time, and the candidates who have left the Tribute Academy have already made a fuss outside the Tribute Academy."

"Leak the question?"

Li Gan stood up subconsciously, walked around the table and walked forward, looking at the ministers in disbelief: "What's going on? Explain clearly!"

Wei Zheng and Qin Hui looked at each other, and it was the former who said: "Your Majesty, there have been people in the capital buying and selling test questions in the past years. It's not worth the court's big fight."

"This year, some people also bought and sold test questions, but after investigation, it was found that the test questions sold by these people were the same as the first four books in the examination room of Jinke!"

"Now that the news has spread, there has already been quite a commotion outside the Gong Yuan."

Listening to his words, Li Qian's face became increasingly ugly, and finally he suddenly turned to look at Qin Hui.

"What Doctor Wei said is true?"

Qin Hui hurriedly replied: "The fact is indeed so."

Li Gan took a deep breath, as if suppressing the anger in his heart, he stared coldly at the group of civil servants in front of him: "Who vented the question?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know yet."

Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "However, there are only a limited number of people who can handle the exam questions. As long as we do a detailed screening, we will definitely be able to find out who did it!"

"Check! Be sure to check!"

Li Qian couldn't hold back his anger anymore, he slammed the table, and said angrily: "I just took the first trial when I was enthroned, and someone is so presumptuous, what do they think of me!!"

"If this person is found, he must be severely punished and beheaded Ling Chi!"

The heads of the civil servants were lowered a little bit, and none of them said a word.

Only Wei Zheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to control the situation."

"Today's first test is over. A large number of people have gathered outside the Tribute Court. There are also candidates from the Tribute Court leaving the exam room. The Xiuzheng Square is overcrowded! If there is a conflict there, there will be countless casualties!"

Li Qian was furious and wanted to say something more.

But Qin Hui cupped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are many innocent people outside the tribute courtyard! Please also put the lives of scholars and common people above all else! Put down the chaos!"

The civil servants also shouted: "I hope that Your Majesty will put the lives of the people and scholars first!"

After being persuaded by them, Li Qian seemed to have calmed down. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the old eunuch standing beside him.

"Partner!"

"You ride on a fast horse and go to Tang Guogong's mansion quickly, and ask my emperor's uncle to lead troops to blockade the Gongyuan! And investigate this matter to the bottom!"

The civil servants felt tense at first, and then quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone thought that the emperor wanted to send the eunuchs around him to work in a hurry, that's too absurd!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch ran quickly to the outside of the hall, and no official objected during the whole process.

The reason is that Tang Guogong has a good reputation among civil servants.

But there are also many people who have seen clues from it. It turns out that in a critical moment, His Majesty the Emperor trusts his Duke and Uncle the most...

"Your Majesty, act urgently!"

The old lady had already run away, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly said: "If you go to the Duke's mansion to ask the Duke to transfer troops now, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

"It's better to shill the Ministry of War to dispatch troops, and send the Huben Guards in the imperial city to the Gongyuan to calm the situation. After Tang Guogong has gone, he will take over the Gongyuan and start investigating!"

After Li Jing's voice fell, the small study immediately fell into silence, and a needle could be heard.

None of the civil servants spoke, but everyone knew one thing.

The Huben Guards shoulder the important task of protecting the imperial city, if they are transferred out, the defense of the imperial city will fall into emptiness...
