Prosperous advisors

Chapter 630 Unforgivable crime (2)
The Minister of Rites frowned displeasedly and said, "You're rude, I haven't seen Mu Xiang yet."

Only then did everyone realize that there was a beautiful and elegant woman in white sitting in the chair beside her.But at this time, no one was in the mood to appreciate the picturesque beauty in front of them, they just rushed forward to salute, "I've seen Mu Xiang."

Mu Qingyi smiled warmly, "My lords, you don't need to be too polite. Since you all have something to report, I will take my leave first."

Zuo Shilang took a step forward and said: "Mu Xiang, please stop. This matter has something to do with Mu Xiang." Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, but sat back again.

The Minister of Rites frowned and said, "Why are you so impatient?"

The right servant said: "My lord, why were all the examination questions sent just now changed by Gu Xiang, but the officials and others didn't know at all?"

Minister of Rites frowned, and gave Mu Qingyi a puzzled look, apparently he didn't know about it either.After thinking about it, he calmed down and said, "Mu Xiang is the chief examiner of Enke this year. Besides, the exam has not yet started. Even if the exam questions are changed, it doesn't matter. Or is there something wrong with the exam questions?"

The left and right servants are at a loss for words.It is because it is not irrelevant that they are in a hurry.As for the exam questions... They just took a look at the exam questions being changed and hurried out to ask the minister. Where is the time to think about the exam questions?
Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "It's true that the truth has changed the exam questions. As for what's wrong... I have personally consulted Jiang Taifu. Jiang Taifu has also been the chief examiner for several terms. According to what the Taifu said, there is nothing wrong, my lord. Don't worry though."

"That's good." Minister of Rites heaved a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this matter was nothing more than Mu Qingyi's new official was eager for success and wanted to make some achievements.As long as there are no problems with the exam questions, he doesn't mind selling the Prime Minister's face.What's more, although the prime minister is young, he is thoughtful and not arbitrary. He knows that he has no experience in imperial examinations and knows to ask his seniors for advice.Glancing at the officials under him, the Minister of Rites said displeasedly: "Since this is the case, what else could be wrong? It is not without precedent to change the exam questions before the exam starts. The Enke exam will officially start tomorrow. Doesn't this concern the world The future of the students is also related to the future of Xiyue, so hurry up and prepare."

The faces of the left and right servants were ashen, but they couldn't think about it.No matter how you say it, if you want to see the exam questions in exchange, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.And it is too late to change the exam questions that were sold before.Most importantly, Mu Xiang's sudden change of exam questions made them have a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"If you don't go down to prepare, why are you dawdling?" Looking at the hesitation of his subordinates, the Minister of Rites said displeasedly.Turning his head to look at Mu Qingyi with some shame, he said, "It's okay to drive me down, I'll make Mu Xiang laugh."

Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "The minister is too modest. As for these few...don't rush to leave. In fact, when I came here today, I also wanted to talk to the left and right servants."

Next to him, the left and right servants and several officials couldn't help turning pale.

Mu Qingyi turned her head and whispered a few words to the attendant behind her, who immediately nodded respectfully and turned around to leave.After a while, Bu Yutang and Nangong Yi walked in, "I've met Mu Xiang, and I've seen your lord."

"Mu Xiang, this is..." Minister of Rites said in a daze.

Mu Qingyi looked at the gray-bearded old man in front of him, and sighed secretly.Although this incident has nothing to do with the old man, I have to say that this unlucky Shangshu who managed to survive the death of Emperor Xiyue, Rong Jin's ascension to the throne and Rong Jin's wedding was finally brought down by his subordinates up.Even if this incident has nothing to do with him, it is impossible for him to escape unscathed if something like this happens to his subordinates.

"Master Nangong, please tell me," Mu Qingyi said.

"Yes, Mu Xiang." Nangong Yichao, Minister of Rites, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, someone found out a few days ago that someone was selling Enke exam test questions in various inns and restaurants in the capital. Your Majesty is following the orders of His Majesty and Prime Minister Mu to thoroughly investigate this matter. This is evidence, please take a look at it." Nangong Yi took a stack of thick dossiers from the attendant behind him and sent them to the Minister of Rites.

After listening to Nangong Yi's words, the face of Minister of Rites was as pale as his subordinates.The first time the new emperor came to the throne, the Enke exam had such a mess. Regardless of whether it had anything to do with him, a charge of lax governance would never escape.

Flipping through the files on the table with trembling hands, the Minister of Rites glared at the few people below, wishing to give these people to Ling Chi.

Raising his hand, he slammed these booklets on the left and right servants, "A bunch of bastards! Take a look for yourself!"

Where did the officials dare to look? They caught the folder in a panic and fell to their knees on the ground with their legs limp on the spot.

"Your Excellency... my lord, wait... my lord is wronged..." Some people were lucky and wanted to evade it.Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites snorted coldly and did not speak.Mu Qingyi smiled faintly: "If you feel wronged, why don't you argue after reading these things?"

"Didn't hear what Mu Xiang said?! Still don't read it!" The Minister of Rites gritted his teeth. Now that he hated these subordinates who had hurt him, how could he plead for them.Reluctantly, several officials could only carefully open the folder in their hands, but the content on it made their already pale faces lose the last trace of blood.It not only states how they sold the test questions, but also how much they bought, where the money went, and who they sold to.

In fact, these things are just taking out the exam questions, and the things are done for the people below, even they themselves don't know it very well.It is precisely because of this that it is even more frightening.

Looking at the subordinates shaking like a sieve in front of him, Shangshu Ribu's face became even more ugly.Looking at Mu Qingyi weakly, he said, "President Mu...this matter..." Mu Qingyi raised her hand, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, your lord has nothing to do with this matter, your majesty already knows about it." The Minister of Rites was grateful He nodded, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.I'm afraid it's unavoidable to be demoted by bad luck, but he is satisfied if he doesn't have more bad luck.

"My lords, do you have anything else to say?" Mu Qingyi asked lightly.

"Mu Xiang, have mercy!" All the officials in the Ministry of Rites were ashamed.

"Forgive me!" Mu Qingyi sneered, "When the new emperor ascends the throne, Enke intends to select talented people to serve as officials in the court. It's good for you, most of the Ministry of Rituals is lying and selling Enke exam questions on the street, His Majesty's face After being thrown away by you, how dare you ask for mercy?!" Mu Qingyi glanced coldly at the kneeling official, and looked at Nangong Yi, "How should we deal with this kind of thing?"
