Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 235

As soon as Haifeng opened his mouth, the people present were shocked.

Xin Zhao said in a cold sweat, "Don't bother Master Hai with this matter?"

"This is originally a matter within the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Haifeng said indifferently: "I will ask your majesty to order me to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Wang Mang didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Daodao: "You still insist that leaking questions is a small problem, and the list is a small problem?"

Xin Zhao quickly shook his head and said, "I don't dare!"

Wang Mang snorted coldly, and said coldly: "Xin Zhao, is there any problem with the list? It is no longer a simple small problem or a big problem. Now it has risen to a political problem. If it is not resolved, there will be big troubles. Xin Zhao, you I also said that this time the examiner is unmatched in the past and the present, and must be famous through the ages, what should I do, don't you understand?"

"I...understood." Zhao Xin sighed in confidence, knowing that the emperor was going to make use of the problem, but how to do it, Zhao Xin still couldn't make up his mind.

Wang Mang's voice fell again at this time: "Haifeng, go and investigate thoroughly. Whether it is a small problem or a big problem, you must find out the problem for me. As long as you find out the problem, I don't care if it makes a big deal."

"I obey the order." Haifeng kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I already have a clue here."

"Say." Wang Mang said.

"There is a person named Wu Li in the list of the top two candidates for this time." Haifeng said.

Hearing Wu Li's name, Zhao Xin immediately said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, both I and Mr. Hai have read Wu Li's test paper, but he is very talented in writing, and he has won the title of second-class."

"But like this?" Wang Mang looked at Haifeng. Haifeng was never a targetless person. Since Haifeng has his eyes on Wu Li, it means that there must be something wrong with him.

"Indeed, this Wu Li scholar's test paper is really brilliant. He is considered an outstanding figure among all the scholars. It is not a big problem to evaluate a second-class scholar." Haifeng changed the subject and said: "However, my minister The above is only for Wu Li's test paper, and I have other opinions about Wu Li himself."

Haifeng has already talked to this point, Xin Zhao didn't dare to talk any more, he was already afraid of Wang Mang, he was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would be sent home to reflect on himself, and it would be too late for him to cry.

Under Wang Mang's signal, Haifeng continued: "Regarding Wu Li's ranking, the scholars in Beijing reacted greatly. Many scholars said that if Wu Li could get the second class, then it would be no problem for them to get the first class." Most of the people who say these words are scholars who have failed the rankings."

Haifeng continued: "When I heard these rumors, I was very surprised, so I asked someone to inquire about it, and the result surprised me. This Wu Li is also a very famous figure among scholars, but he is different. In terms of other people's titles of geniuses, Wu Li is famous for being a drunkard, and to say that a drunkard is a bit harsh, but this person is indeed a mediocre person, and his biggest reputation is lust."

"The sage said, those who eat sex have their own nature, and lust is the nature of human beings, so it's nothing." Li Lan said with a smile.

"Eunuch Li doesn't know something. This Wu Li is not only lustful, he is almost crazy for female sex." Haifeng said expressionlessly: "This man once planted flowers and willows in the largest field of flowers and willows in the capital a month ago. A lot of money to woo a woman from a brothel, this incident caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an scholar circle at that time, and also made him a little famous."

"And then? What's wrong with him?" Wang Mang asked with a frown.

"In addition to being a scholar, Wu Li has another identity. He is the beloved son of Wu Yong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites." Haifeng said indifferently: "The test questions for the examinees this time were written by Wu Yong. By the way, for examiners in normal years, the examination questions are written by the Minister of Rites, but this year, when Zhao Shangshu was resting at home due to illness, Zuo Shilang Wu Yong wrote the questions for him."

When Haifeng said this, he kept silent, while Wang Mang's face turned pale instantly, staring at Xin Zhao and said coldly: "Xin Zhao, is what Haifeng said true?"

"Yes." Xin Zhao fell to his knees with a thud.

"Did you know about this a long time ago?" Wang Mang asked again.

"Yes." Xin Zhao explained with a pale face, "I really don't know what's going on here, and besides, although Mr. Wu has no talent, he is timid and fearful by nature, so he should not have the guts to do such a thing."

"No guts?" Wang Mang asked, "Do you think you can explain things to someone who has no guts? Do you, Xin Zhao, dare to vouch for Wu Yong?"

"Weichen..." Zhao Xin knelt down deeply on the ground, he did not dare to say a word, he had already seen that there was something wrong with Wu Li's ranking, but Wu Yong was the left servant of the Ministry of Rites after all, and his family ugliness should not be publicized, so Xin Zhao had no words , I didn't expect that Haifeng would expose it. Thinking of this, Xin Zhao felt a little regretful. It's not that he doesn't know who Haifeng is, so it's okay to hide something from him.

snort!
Wang Mang snorted coldly, and said: "I don't bully anyone, no matter whether they are on the list or not, all scholars who are reported to have problems with their rankings will be called into the palace. Then call Wang Qinian over to keep an eye on the scholars, I want to see the real talents of these people."

Zhao Xin, Haifeng and others looked at each other, knowing that the emperor was really angry. If some scholars were admitted with low talents or high talents but not admitted, the emperor might beheaded, otherwise Wang Qinian would be killed. What is this killer calling for?

After Wang Qinian cut off the heads of hundreds of scholars in the Scholars Garden, he has been staying at home, court hall, military and horse office, three points and one line, low-key, don't be low-key, but almost all scholars can't help but feel uncomfortable when they see Wang Qinian He was three points short, so he was really afraid of being killed, and Wang Qinian was also nicknamed "Old Killer!"
There has been no secret in the imperial palace since ancient times. What happened here in Wang Mang spread throughout Chang'an City almost quickly. The office is dedicated to accepting letters and visits from scholars.

And Wu Yong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, almost fainted from fright, and immediately found his beloved son Wu Li, and immediately started to swear, "You cheating thing, say, did you know the test questions in advance?" gone?"

Wu Li came out of the list and got a second-class exam, and he was so proud of himself all day long, until now he didn't know the emperor's anger and asked Haifeng to investigate thoroughly. Then he got a little angry, and when he heard his father scolding him, he said with an unhappy face: "Father, it's not that you don't know your son's ability. Do you think I can pass the second-class exam if I don't know the exam questions?"

"You..." Wu Yong's face turned pale, and he wanted to slap Wu Li again, but Wu Li saw the opportunity quickly and dodged it. Wu Yong collapsed on the chair, pointed at Wu Li and said angrily: " You rebellious son, the disaster of my Wu family's destruction is just around the corner!"
