Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 238 It seems that there are no bandits this year, right?

"Caomin complies with the decree." The thin and frail scholar cupped his hands, with a calm expression on his face, without any trace of nervousness.

Seeing this, all the ministers present couldn't help praising him, the performance of this scholar is much more calm and composed than that of Chen Feizhang.

However, Lu Zixiu didn't know what everyone was thinking, he just quietly reviewed the strategies and theories he had written during the exam, cleared his throat a little, and blurted out an article without haste.

He has been intelligent since he was a child, and although he does not have a photographic memory, he is also someone who can memorize a page or two of classics after reading it three or two times.

What's more, "Bing Ge Lun" was originally written by him, and all the strategies in the text are kept in his chest, now he just re-read it and recounted it paragraph by paragraph.

The young man's voice is steady and clean, without any sense of sloppiness, and the articles he recites are also brilliant in writing and exquisite in every sentence.

Except for three or two irrelevant words, which are not the same as the original text of "Bing Ge Lun" on the answer sheet, the rest are generally the same, and it is clear at a glance which is true and which is false.

"... black iron is used as a sword, especially with a heavy shield; the people's heart is used as a blade, and it is unstoppable. Therefore, the hearts of all people in the world should be used as weapons, and the people's aspirations can be broken even if there are mountains and rivers as obstacles. "

After Lu Zixiu recited the last sentence slowly, he was suddenly filled with emotion. When he first arrived in the capital two months ago, he never thought that he would appear in Qianyang Palace in such a posture.

Instead of being a Gongsheng who passed the examination, he was regarded as a person who "resurrected from the dead" and served as an indispensable witness for this time. He went to the hall to recite his own strategies and theories, and later he would have to identify the imperial order in court.

——This was much more exciting than he had imagined before.

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have finished memorizing." The scholar saluted, and after the salute, he tidied up his appearance slowly. After hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a moment, and then they couldn't hold back their discussions.

Mu Wenjing raised his eyes to see the expression on the face of the King of God, and shook his brows casually, with a voice that was not loud enough to be heard by the people present: "It seems that this Mr. Lu is the one who wrote this "On Wars" "The real original."

"It's just that Lu Zixiu's theory, why did it fall on Chen Gongsheng's head?"

"I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Chao about this." Wang Liang took the words coldly. He hated cheating the most in his life, and his dislike for Chao Ling had been accumulated for a long time.

It's just that he usually doesn't want to make troubles, and the functions of the Ministry of Households are far from those of the Ministry of Rites. He couldn't find any evidence and couldn't open his mouth, so he had to pretend to turn a blind eye.

Seeing that he is finally on the verge of falling, naturally I have to add a few sentences to hurt this kind of corrupt officials and courtiers: "After all, the test papers will be copied, and the ranking of the papers will be handled by the Ministry of Rites. He must be responsible for such a big mistake."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Wang Liang cupped his hands as he spoke, and lightly handed the words to the emperor's arms.

Mo Jingyao had a half-smile, and thought to himself that these ministers really learned from that brat, Ayan, and kicked all kinds of balls into his arms!

Fortunately, he was ready to speak this time, otherwise, wouldn't he be caught off guard by them?

Emperor Yun Jing slightly restrained his urge to roll his eyes again, turned his eyes to look at Chao Ling, his eyes were very indifferent: "Chao Shangshu, do you have anything to explain?"

"This...it may be that Si Wu and others copied the wrong name when transcribing the papers..." Chao Ling bit the bullet and said nonsense, "Hundreds of answer papers have to be transcribed in one day, and the Ministry of Rites has not many people. , it's not uncommon to make mistakes in the middle of a busy schedule."

"Oh? I made a mistake in my busy schedule." The old matriarch Fu's face darkened, "If it was really a mistake in his busy schedule, how could Chen Feizhang openly pretend to be it when His Majesty asked about the "On Wars"?"

"Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like he doesn't know anything about it."

Chao Ling resisted stubbornly: "...This may be the theory that Chen Gongsheng made that day, also called "Theory of War", so it may be wrong for your Majesty's meaning."

"He Shilang, is there such a thing?" The old lady Xiao Fu frowned, and turned to look at He Kangsheng who had the ability of photographic memory.

"Old Xiao, a total of 380 and seven answer sheets have been collected in this year's test, and there is no second "On Wars", He Kangsheng bowed his hands and exposed Chao Ling mercilessly. .”

"He Shilang remembers clearly." Hearing the words, Chao Ling gave He Kangsheng a vicious look, then turned around and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, it is indeed the negligence of my humble minister that I am willing to accept the punishment." .”

"But please believe that this minister has absolutely no intention of committing any crimes, let alone committing such acts of disorder and fraud."

After hearing this, Emperor Yunjing didn't make a sound. He just silently grabbed Chao Ling's hair and looked at it for a long while, until the latter was stared at by him covered in cold sweat, then he slowly looked away: "Teacher, you What do you think?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister dare not jump to conclusions, but the matter involves fraud, so we must not tolerate it lightly." The old man pondered, "Do you remember, the Fourth Highness once said that the public files of the two Gongsheng students were obtained from Mr. Chao? "

"Ah?" Mo Shucheng, who was suddenly called by someone's name, was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded his head in a hurry, "That's right, Mr. Xiao, that public document was brought by Xie Sinian from Mr. Chao." of!"

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, we might as well wait for a while until the young master and the prince come back with two evidences before making any plans." Taifu Xiao said.

The moment he closed his eyes, he subconsciously drifted towards the hall from the corner of his eye, always feeling that His Majesty and His Highness the Seventh Prince had wasted so much effort to bring Lu Zixiu to the hall, not just for such a small matter.

"That's fine." Emperor Yun Jing nodded slightly, counting the time, they were indeed coming back soon.

Of course, this kind of occasion is only lively when there are many people. Besides, later on, he has to ask these two children to take someone to search the Ministry of Rites.

The old god Mo Jingyao squinted his eyes halfway, and Jin King Mo Jingqi under the stage shook his pupils lightly when he saw this. He clenched his fists and pretended to cough: "Hey, but when it comes to the bandits in the suburbs of Beijing..."

"My lord, if my king remembers correctly, since the beginning of winter last year, there has been very little banditry in that forest, right?"

"That's right, that group of Bandits has rarely been seen since November last year," Mu Wenjing nodded, "Especially this year, apart from the murder case that I will try after the beginning of spring, I have never heard of any other murders." other misfortunes."

"Thinking about it this way...it's still unknown whether it was bandits who attacked Mr. Lu that day." Mo Jingqi raised his jaw meaningfully, "Mr. Lu, what kind of general situation was that day? still remember?"

"Return to the lord, Caomin remembers." Lu Zixiu cupped his hands, his face turned pale for no reason, he hesitated to speak, as if he was afraid of something, "It's just the key point... Caomin really dare not say it clearly."

"Don't panic, my lord, why dare you?" Jin Wang smiled, "Your Majesty is here, if you have any grievances in your stomach, just say it."

"As long as what you say is true, the Holy One will definitely decide for you."

"This..." The scholar pursed his lips and struggled for a long time with his white face, and finally took a step forward, as if he had made up his mind, "I want to report to Your Majesty, the grass people are indeed wronged."

Emperor Yun Jing raised his hand: "Speak."

"Here." Lu Zixiu responded, he took a breath, and was about to speak, when he heard footsteps outside the hall, and then an inner eunuch stepped forward to announce——

"Your Majesty, the young master and the son are back."

　These two periods of continuous high energy
　　Although Ah Ci did not appear on the stage, Ah Ci was playing chess in the Duke's mansion, and Mo Junli's people kept sending her news

　　Then the old emperor's special session is over, it's Ah Ci's personal solo

　　I'm waiting for her to talk about this hexagram! !

　　Try not to skip this paragraph, otherwise it is easy to understand later

　　Each of them deliberately left a little question in their speech, in order to make Liao Zhen and the others suspicious.

　　If you find a place that seems to be tighter, that's fine, otherwise it's a better place

　　That's the saying

　　However, I reckon you little bastards can read well

　　shouldn't see where the problem is

　　呔
