The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 513
There are still six days before Tongshi will be released on the list. In the early morning, the envoy impeaching Tongshi in Jiuzhou Thirteen Houses is suspected of malpractice for personal gain.

Jing Hedi, who was originally lazy, suddenly became sober.

Although the rural examination is the first examination of the imperial examination, the children's examination, as the qualification examination of the imperial examination, faces a wide range of candidates and cannot be ignored.

He Benchu, Minister of Rites who was dozing off with downcast eyes, was no longer sleepy.

You know, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the tributes and schools. If there is a large-scale fraud in Da Chu, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, will be guilty of ignoring it!

He Benchu ​​is a bit overwhelmed, he knew he would listen to advice more, and asked the Holy One to regulate the time of the children's examination.

That's right, at this time, the time of the children's exams in various places in Dachu is different. For example, the ones in Kyoto are usually later than those outside Beijing.

After staying in the cabinet for a long time, it is unavoidable that he is used to the time of the Shuntian Mansion Court Examination, otherwise he would not have caught the envoy by surprise.

"Your Majesty, my Majesty, Your Majesty, please investigate!" He Benchu, as an experienced contestant in the early court, did not rashly attack the general envoy, but stood up with a serious face, and once verified, he would immediately kill his subordinates with tears.

Jing Hedi ignored the old man, waved his hand, and looked at the Tongzheng envoy seriously: "Aiqing, please speak carefully."

The Tongzheng envoy raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, since the day before yesterday, I have received 93 complaints of appealing for grievances. Feng Feng reprimanded the chief examiners of each government for not ranking according to the merits and demerits, and changing the ranking without authorization. What's more, excellent candidates are dismissed."

When Emperor Jing He heard the words, he motioned for the servant to take the memorandum, and squinted his eyes to read it word by word.

Above the court hall, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

The ministers couldn't help but look up at the emperor on the throne.

Jing Hedi saw the last ten lines at a glance, but his anger rose slowly.

Seeing the end, he simply closed it vigorously.

"Aiqing, most of the candidates you mentioned are girls!"

Emperor Jinghe suddenly asked with a smile, and immediately raised the hearts of the courtiers.

In the early morning, the ministers were not afraid of the emperor's anger, but were afraid that the emperor would smile when he should lose his temper.

The Tongzheng envoy raised his voice: "The emperor is wise!"

"I don't think I'm holy!" Emperor Jing He threw the notebook on the ground vigorously, suddenly changed his face, and roared, "If not, how could so many ministers dare to wrestle with me openly! The country's selection of materials is a matter of great importance Jiye, how dare you dare to fight like this!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" All the officials immediately bowed their heads and said in unison.

"Calm down! Calm down! Before I get angry, you want me to calm down! Why, I have to hold my breath and pass out, so you can be happy! How intentional you are!" Jing Hedi was so angry that he stood up and crossed his arms. Back and forth pacing and cursing.

The corners of the mouths of Yan Yuan and the others trembled.

No way, the emperor's intentions are too obvious.

It seems that they are going to play tricks, what should they do as courtiers? !

"Your Majesty." Yan Yuan looked at his position. Although he was not happy, the guy standing in front of him these years was either begging to retire or relegated. Unknowingly, he was standing in the first row. As the leader of all officials, he If you don't open your mouth, you can't explain it!

Although he was not happy, he still found a gap and took advantage of Jing Hedi's luck to report: "You must not slack off what the Tongzheng envoy has played. The minister must make an order from the thirteen censors, and each of them will make a statement. The magistrate defends himself."

"..." Jing Hedi, who still wanted to continue speaking, paused, "The two censors are here!"

After hearing the words, Zuodu Yushi and Youdu Yushi hurriedly stood up.

"Is there such a memorial for Thirteen Ways?"

The two censors looked at each other and said: "I have not received such a petition yet."

"Huh!" Emperor Jing He waved his hand, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Rites, and the Internal Guards will investigate this matter together, and order the prime ministers of all the prefectures to make a statement!"

With the imperial decree, all officials are busy.

After two days like this, in the early court, the matter was discussed again.

Luo Feifei, the censor of Zuodu, came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate contacted the thirteen censors to find out about this matter, and received 130 nine copies of urgent memorials yesterday, and the ministers will collect them. It is indeed true, however, it has its own inside story, please Your Majesty look into it clearly."

Emperor Jing He motioned to the servant to take the memorial from him, and flipped through it casually: "Oh? Insider information? How could I not know that the performance outside the examination room can also affect the candidates' test scores? This is the same way to judge the candidates' rankings in previous years?"

"Here, the Metropolitan Procuratorate...has not received various impeachments in previous years, so I don't know about it."

Luo Feifei, who knew that this was not easy to answer, hesitated for a moment, and happily threw the question like a hydrangea. As for who will follow up later, it has nothing to do with him.

"Okay, where is the Minister of Rites?" Emperor Jing He waved his hand to let Luo Feifei go down, and looked at He Benchu.

He Benchu ​​never expected that Yin Xuezheng from all over the country had such a tacit understanding. Not only did they agree to make their own opinions, but they also made completely consistent opinions. If there is no commander-in-chief, he, the head of the Ministry of Rites, would not believe it!
But the problem is that he really doesn't know!

He Shangshu, who was inexplicably scapegoated, is not easy to mess with!
Hehe, why did he come from the Minister of Rites, not the Minister of Officials? What does it have to do with him if officials from all over the country make their own claims?

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has never set more admission standards, and still continues the old rules. The governments have added and changed the admission rules without authorization. I want to impeach them for ignoring the court and contempt for the imperial examination!"

He Ben threw the pot back with his left hand, and set a few more for them with his right hand.

"You stand back!" Emperor Jing He nodded, and called the commander of the inner guard to present the playbook.

After looking carefully for a while, Emperor Jinghe asked his servant to call over Fu Yin Xuezheng who had defended himself.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" These people rushed to the ground and saluted as soon as they came up, kneeling down and complaining of their grievances.

They were sorry, and Jing and Di didn't bother to call them up.

Today is also a day when the emperor doesn't want to give face!

"Since you keep saying that you are wronged, then you should defend yourself one by one."

Hearing what the emperor said, the governors Xuezheng looked at each other and pushed the most experienced Xuezheng out.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true that the general government envoy impeached the minister to change his rank. However, the student whose rank was changed by the minister is not virtuous and has a wrong character. The minister has not deposed him because he cherishes his talent and loves his talent. Correct him. This is the kindness of the minister, how can it be called a crime!"

"Oh?! Give me an example." Emperor Jing He didn't seem to realize that the students were male or female because of the ambiguity of the school and politics, and he also interestedly indicated to him to talk about the faults of those students in detail.

"There are students who beat old women in the street under the bright sky! Some students demand debts to force clan elders to go on hunger strike! Some students beat merchants with sticks..." Xuezheng, who was prepared, talked about the students' faults with eloquence.

Emperor Jing He nodded when he heard it, and after he finished speaking, he let the others continue, and when he had finished speaking, he asked with a smile: "Have you finished speaking?"
