I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 360 You asked for it yourself

"Yan Song, what are you doing looking for me at this time, shouldn't you be grading papers?"

I saw Jiajing sitting on the dragon chair, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and asked with great interest.

Hearing this, a look of sincerity and fear appeared on Yan Song's face at the right time, and he immediately knelt down on the ground and reported to Jiajing.

"Report to Your Majesty, during the process of reviewing the test papers, I accidentally found this test paper!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he motioned for the subordinate staff to take a step forward, and then continued.

"This examinee, on the answer sheet, talked about government affairs indiscriminately, and also... also..."

Yan Song hesitated and didn't dare to continue talking anymore.

Hearing this, Jiajing's complexion turned stern, and he immediately gave such instructions to the eunuch beside him.

"Go, bring me that test paper!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's order, the eunuch immediately took a step forward, took the test paper from the subordinate staff, and unfolded it respectfully in front of Jiajing.

Jiajing shifted his gaze to the test paper, and when he saw the contents clearly, he couldn't help but sneered and said.

"Okay, it's really not advisable to integrate the government and gentry to pay food, and it doesn't make sense to quote scriptures!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned the test paper over, and when he saw the signature on it, he said coldly.

"This Xu Zhengping is really courageous!"

"Who gave him the courage to answer indiscriminately on this?"

Seeing this situation, Yan Song could only groan secretly, and after thinking for a moment, he cautiously gave his suggestion.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, do you need me to arrest those candidates and question them one by one?"

Jiajing heard the words, turned his eyes to Yan Song, nodded, and ordered.

"Well, Yan Song, I will leave this matter to you!"

"Check it out for me, who is behind the scenes?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he immediately added another sentence.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he immediately stood up slowly from the ground with a firm look on his face.

In fact, Yan Song can also roughly guess Jiajing's intentions. First of all, as the chief examiner in charge of this palace examination, he has an inescapable responsibility for this kind of thing to happen in the palace examination!

Now His Majesty entrusts this matter to himself, which is justified on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also has the intention of letting himself take the blame and make meritorious deeds.

Secondly, it is best for officials to solve this matter. If people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei take action, they will definitely use all means to make these candidates speak. The casualties were heavy.

In this way, where will the imperial court lose face, and as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he is the most suitable candidate.

Finally, and most importantly, His Majesty needs to see if he is in the same camp as him!

After thinking about all this, Yan Song also had a rough plan for what action he should take next.

Immediately afterwards, after Yan Song bowed to Jiajing, he turned and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Yan Song walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looking at the surrounding scenery, he could not help but clenched his fists and said to himself silently.

"Let me be the villain!
"Who told you not to have good eyesight, and insisted on offending His Majesty at this time, all of this is what you asked for!"

……

After Yan Song received Jiajing's order, he quickly launched an operation.

In order to prevent accidents, Yan Song also asked Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Prefecture to transfer the people from Wucheng Bingma Division.

When Ding Shichang received this order at the beginning, his face was full of disbelief.

In his opinion, there must be something wrong. All the students who are qualified to take part in the palace examination are the proud ones who have a promising future and are about to leap into the Dragon Gate!

But after he inquired about what happened in the palace examination through various channels, he obediently kept his mouth shut and strictly prohibited anyone from talking about it.

Soon, all the candidates who participated in this palace examination were controlled. Until now, they still don't know what happened.

It wasn't until the officials in charge of the matter explained the ins and outs behind it to everyone that these students realized that they couldn't stop crying for their own grievances.

As the instigator of this case, Xu Zhengping was also imprisoned in prison. His hands and feet were put in heavy shackles, and his movements were greatly restricted because of this.

But on his face, not only could he not see any sluggish look, on the contrary, he looked deathly at home.

I don't know how much time has passed, just heard a "squeak", the door of the cell was pushed open, Zhang Runde, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, walked in with the subordinate staff who were in charge of recording the confession.

Xu Zhengping saw Zhang Runde enter the cell, but he didn't show any sign, his expression was extremely indifferent, he didn't say a word, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Runde sat down opposite Xu Zhengping calmly, coughed twice, and asked.

"Who is behind your back?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhengping shook his head, his face was full of determination, and he replied in a deep voice.

"No one instructed me, this is all my own idea!"

Hearing this, Zhang Runde shook his head and interrupted impatiently.

"Hmph, nonsense, do you think you are noble? Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"

"Because of your actions, all the students who participated in this palace examination have suffered an unreasonable disaster!"

"Right now, they are being locked in cells and being interrogated!"

"You selfish bastard!"

After Zhang Runde finished speaking, a look of contempt appeared on his face at the right time.

After being reprimanded by Zhang Runde, Xu Zhengping's aura suddenly disappeared.

What he didn't expect was that because of his own fault, so many people were involved and their futures were ruined, which made him fall into deep self-blame.

On the other hand, Zhang Runde had a panoramic view of the struggling and uneasy expression on Xu Zhengping's face, and said to himself.

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth!"

"It seems that the strategy adopted by the official has worked. Students like these who have not stepped into the officialdom are the easiest to handle. They should be able to complete the task assigned by the elder soon!"

Afterwards, Xu Zhengping gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, this is all my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Hearing this, Zhang Runde knew that it was time for fire, and immediately slammed the table and said in a deep voice.

"Since you say that this matter is your fault alone, then you should explain the whole story."

"In this way, they can also suffer less!"

After Zhang Runde finished speaking, he immediately added another sentence.

After listening to Zhang Runde's exhortation, Xu Zhengping also fell into a tangle. One was a classmate who suffered innocent disasters due to his own fault, while the other was a teacher who preached and received karma for himself.

At this moment, Xu Zhengping's conscience was suffering unprecedentedly, so that he was unable to make a choice for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhang Runde didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately prepared to give Xu Zhengping the final blow, he took a piece of paper from the hand of the subordinate staff at the side, and read the content on it.

"Xu Zhengping, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, whose father's name is..."

Seeing this situation, Xu Zhengping panicked for an instant, his face turned pale, and there was already a bit of crying in his words.

"You... what you want to do, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with my family!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Runde just glanced at him and said coldly.

"In this case, why didn't you think about your family before you acted?"

"You should explain quickly, otherwise, your family members will be implicated by you and end up in an extremely miserable end!"

When Zhang Runde said this, he suddenly increased his tone, and the meaning in his words was self-evident.

At this moment, Xu Zhengping's psychological defense line has been completely broken by Zhang Runde, and his eyes have lost their brilliance. He is like a walking dead, and he begins to explain the whole story.

"It's like this..."
