This crime was too big, and it came out of nowhere, so it was naturally impossible for Xie Xiuwen to bear it.

"My lord Qin, the humble job is just discussing the matter as it stands, and has no intention of seeking benefits for myself. Besides, this matter happened in Xiangzhou Prefecture. Firstly, I have never been to Xiangzhou Prefecture. Secondly, I have no friends and colleagues working in Xiangzhou Prefecture. I don't know what you said. What are the benefits, exactly?"

Xie Xiuwen confessed his situation directly without any delay.

He is not familiar with Xiangzhou Prefecture, and he has no friends from the same department as officials there, so what benefits can he seek?

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Emperor Wen Jing's face relaxed a lot, while Elder Qin Ge frowned slightly, apparently offended.

In Qin Ge's opinion, Xie Xiuwen is only a small fifth rank, a petty official who doesn't even have the qualifications to go to his house to pay homage to his birthday, and dare to question him face to face, it's audacious!

"Hmph, at such a young age, you can fight for the advantage of tongue!"

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, and he didn't dare to admit these words.

If you didn't question me, why should I refute?

Co-author, you question me, you can put any hat on me, but if I justify myself, will I become a villain who only fights for the benefits of words?

This principle belongs to your family, how can you make it happen?
Xie Xiuwen's obviously unconvinced and unwillingness to compete with an elder was vividly expressed on his face, which amused even the superior Emperor Wen Jing.

"cough!"

Emperor Wen Jing still had to take care of his majesty, so he had to cough to hide his smile.

"Xie Aiqing, tell me carefully. If it is a thorough investigation, what is the reason and how should it be thoroughly investigated!"

"Yes, I thought that this time it seemed that many students lost their reputation as a scholar because of the unfairness of the college examination, but in fact, it was a small matter. Forgive me, I thought that the incident of the college exam broke out. , not only harmless, but beneficial to the imperial court."

The ministers present at the scene were a little puzzled by what he said, and Emperor Wen Jing couldn't help leaning forward: "Let's talk about it in detail."

"Weichen thought that the reason why the court examination was unfair was nothing more than the matter of 'false identity'. As for the impersonation of identity, it actually existed in the previous dynasty. on the household registration.

However, there were no district quotas in the previous dynasty, and the purpose of the scholars' fake nationality was relatively simple. Usually, they changed their father's and grandparents' names to noble family names, or spent money to buy other people's family status, so as to raise their family status. Increase the probability of the first place.

In the years of the former Tianshou years, some courtiers reported the phenomenon of electoral fraud, bluntly saying that some scholars "may pretend to be registered in order to steal money".Therefore, the official thought that this fraudulent identity has existed since ancient times, and since this is the case, the imperial court should take this opportunity to make up for all the loopholes.

Wei Chen noticed that the petition not only had the signatures of many scholars and students, but also the signatures of some famous local jurenggong. It can be seen that if the issue of fake citizenship cannot be resolved, the fairness of the provincial examination and the The fairness of the examination will be questioned. "

Wang Qinshan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also stood up and reported: "My lord, I think that what Xie Ge said in the matter is very true, from the small to the big, if the imperial court can't handle this small matter that some people think of properly, the subsequent provincial and general examinations , will be questioned by others, and if things go on like this, my Dazhi will surely lose the hearts of scholars all over the world."

One person stands up and agrees, and there will be others who agree later.

Elder Qin Ge's face was gloomy, he glanced at these courtiers with glaring eyes, and secretly remembered their names, only thinking that he would find an opportunity to strike one or two in the future, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart today.

Emperor Wen Jing waved his hand: "What Aiqing and others said is very true. The matter of the Xiangzhou court's trial of fake citizenship must be thoroughly investigated. This matter will be discussed later. Xie Aiqing, I need you to come up with a specific charter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the dynasty was over, Xie Xiuwen was still standing there because of his low rank, waiting for those high-ranking adults to move first, while he was whispering something to his colleagues next to him.

Just as they were chatting, a pair of black boots stopped in front of him. Xie Xiuwen raised his eyes. It was Mr. Qin Ge. He snorted heavily towards him, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, and said in a daze, "Am I offending Mr. Qin?"

Xie Lin on the side suppressed a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think?"

They are all facing each other in court, isn't it an offense?

Xie Xiuwen tilted his head slightly and said: "I thought it was just a difference of political opinion, besides, I did not disrespect Master Qin, I really don't know where to offend him."

But Xie Lin couldn't hold back anymore, anyway, there were not many colleagues in the palace at this time: "Let's go, the Holy Majesty is still waiting for your more detailed regulations."

Xie Xiuwen put away his innocent expression and thought about having to work hard again, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

The Dazhi Dynasty is a small meeting every three days, and a big meeting once every ten days, so even if Xie Xiuwen is a fifth-rank official, his usual rest time is still enough, at least he doesn't get up in the middle of the night every day.

After Emperor Wen Jing retired from the court, he went back to the imperial study. After taking a nap in the afternoon, his heart became more and more anxious. He was eager to know what Xie Xiuwen was thinking, and what method could be used to completely put an end to the impostor.

Xie Xiuwen, who had just been lying in the duty room for a while, had just washed his face, and he hadn't written half of the notebook yet, when a servant came to summon him.

Xie Xiuwen looked at the half-written notebook, but had no choice but to stop writing for the time being and put the unfinished notebook in his sleeve.

"Thank you, Aiqing. Please tell me what method can be used to completely eradicate this false identity."

"My lord, if you want to solve this shortcoming, you must first figure out the origin of this fake identity and its related benefits."

Emperor Wen Jing didn't know much about the fake nationality, but the elder Zheng Ge urged him: "Quickly tell me, don't make a fool of yourself."

"Yes, when Weichen heard about the fraud a few days ago, he read a lot of old books. Among them, the most serious time was the year of the previous imperial court. Because the dates of the provincial examinations were inconsistent, scholars could read more books. Some people even take the local exam three times at a time. There is a note on the old book: "There are many divisions that prohibit, and the rate cannot be changed."

Not only that, but some people will pretend to be their brother's name in the exam because they can't get a household registration in other places. Of course, if they win, it means that the two brothers have completely changed their identities, and some people will directly pass the exam without reference. The brother who made a name for himself went directly to Beijing to take part in the examination. "

Emperor Wen Jing looked cold and serious: "It's just nonsense!"

Xie Xiuwen naturally thought it was nonsense.

"In the final analysis, as far as the students are concerned, some of them want to obtain fame earlier and gain some benefits for themselves and their families. Therefore, since the scientific examination, this matter of impersonation has been repeatedly banned. It's just that It's really puzzling that the Xiangzhou prefectural examination was also infiltrated by counterfeiting."
