The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 222 Chuanlu Interception ([-])

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, princes, nobles, civil and military officials line up on both sides.The group of young people near the door are Xinkewu Jinshi.

Emperor Yuanheng entered the hall under the retinue of the great eunuch Dai Quan and others.

The officials knelt down and saluted, shouting long live.

"Get up."

Emperor Yuanheng spoke and sat down on the dragon chair, all the officials stood up one after another.

Jia Min stood in the last row, trying to hide himself as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by the emperor in his embarrassment.

Although it was the first time he came to the palace, he still knew a little about the crime of disrespect.

Losing manners means losing proper etiquette in front of the emperor.People like Jia Min are disheveled.There is another kind, that is to say nothing.

The last time the academician Ji Mingluan was demoted, it was because he drank too much, and when he talked to the emperor, he didn't know to follow the emperor's words, and he only talked nonsense to himself, which made the emperor angry and dragged him out to beat him.

"Li Yuan, tell me about your business."

Emperor Yuanheng spoke.

I singled out Li Yuan, of course because this time it was about the Jinshi of the new department. Li Yuan was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was considered the director of the martial arts examination. Let him explain the situation, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the princes, nobles and civil and military officials.

When the emperor hand-picked the top three and released the list, the martial arts competition was basically completed.

Li Yuan briefly introduced the situation, and then asked the emperor to appoint the top three.

It is said that the top three are hand-picked, but they are actually part of the first and second.From the overall list, the top ten are arranged by the emperor.After ten, the examiners and ministers have already arranged the list. Unless there are special circumstances, the emperor will generally give the ministers this face and will not interfere deliberately.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the emperor has already made up his mind on how to rank.Sometimes it is arranged in advance, and when the time comes, ask the eunuch to read it out, and then it is over, and then it is copied and posted.

Sometimes, the emperor draws a pen to check the boxes on the spot.However, it is also in the heart in advance.

Today is a bit strange, the eunuch didn't read it out, and the emperor didn't pick up a pen to check it.

Except for the Xinke Scholars, everyone present was old-fashioned. Seeing this scene, they all had a premonition that something unusual was about to happen.

"Li Yuan, what's new this morning?"

Seeing the emperor's question, everyone was a little confused, so they all looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan naturally understood at this time that the emperor knew about Jia Min.Apart from this matter, there is nothing else, that's why I asked this question.

However, how to say this matter is very famous.

Now that he is the first to speak out, he has expressed his views on this matter, which is to say that he has presupposed a position.

However, this is just my opinion.What does the emperor think?What do others think?
Jia Min was intercepted and killed all the way, and the facts are relatively clear now.The problem is how to characterize this matter.The key point is what is the motive for intercepting and killing Jia Min?
If Jia Min is dead, things will be easy to handle, the worst thing is to investigate the case and arrest the murderer afterwards.

However, now Jia Min has won, and killed all the way.Not only killed several people from the other party, but also captured a few alive.In the end, even Wulongshan's second bandit capital was involved.And there is also a person who used to be with Niu Jizong and Marchangde often.

This is likely to involve the Niu family and the Ma family.And Ma Shangde is also a new scholar, and is ranked in the top ten.

The tricky part of the matter is precisely here.If it is found to be related to Ma Shangde at this time, it will be a scandal in the current martial arts examination.

Regarding Jia Min, there was a case of false accusation in Shuntian Mansion before, and an assassination case in the examination later. These two cases are currently under investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Now there is another interception and killing case, which has been handed over to Wucheng Bingmasi to handle it.

So, the truth will eventually be found out.

Having made up his mind, Li Yuan said what he knew. Although he didn't express his clear position, the two facts he said attracted everyone's attention.

The first fact is that the old kite has been identified by the soldiers of Wucheng Bingma Division, and he is indeed the second head of Wulongshan.

The second fact is that the glove man asked Jia Min to wait in Dongdan for two hours.This reminds people that the purpose of blocking Jia Min is to prevent him from catching up with the Golden Palace Chuanhe.

Once he can't catch up with the Jindian Chuanlu, Jia Min's Jinshi background in the modern martial arts examination will be gone.

Connecting this conclusion with the previous false accusations and plots, the conclusion comes out: Some people don't want Jia Min to get a Jinshi.

So everyone began to discuss quietly.

Niu Shilang and Cheng Shilang stood together. Seeing this situation, they also quietly leaned together and muttered.

"Xiu Tonggui, about Jia Min's false accusation case in the township examination, you are the one handling it, tell me."

Emperor Yuanheng dragged out Yin Xiutonggui from Shuntian Mansion.

"Returning to the emperor, this case was indeed handled by Shuntian Prefecture. Although the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been found out, Jia Min's suspicion of cheating has been ruled out."

"How did you expel it?"

"At the beginning, the minister and others transferred Jia Min's examination papers for children in Wanping County. They inspected Jia Min's reciting and dictation, checked his belongings, and searched him all over. During the admission and examination process, He was monitored intensively, but he was not found to have any prohibited behavior. In the end, he was asked to compose a poem on the spot, and Jia Min did it in a short time, so the suspicion of cheating was ruled out."

Generally speaking, if this level is achieved, the suspicion can indeed be ruled out.The measures taken can be regarded as more cautious and thorough.

When Xiu Tonggui said this, he was merely stating the facts.In fact, even if Jia Min was still suspected, he would not say that Jia Min was suspected now.

As one of the chief examiners, if you are suspected of taking him, aren't you slapping yourself in the face?

"Ji Mingluan, tell me about the test."

The emperor is in the middle of the season again.

So, Ji Mingluan told the story of the meeting again.

"Hey, this Jia Min really bothers me. He even made such a big noise. I really want to see what kind of character he is? Lovers, don't you want to see?"

"I think, of course I do. I'm also very curious."

The one who spoke was Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong.

Shui Rong is only 25 or [-] years old, and he is now walking in the court.It is considered to be the most outstanding among the young people of the major aristocratic families.Among the four young masters of the imperial capital, they are also faintly ranked first.

For the reputation of Jia Min, the bastard son of the Jia family, he was also very familiar with it.It's just that I have been hearing his name but not seeing him.

He really wanted to see what kind of person this was.

Besides, even the Holy Majesty wants to see it, who dares to say that he doesn't want to see it?Don't want to mess around?

"Jia Min from Shuntian Prefecture is on duty."

Dai Quan shouted.

Jia Min had no choice but to come out, walked two steps, came to the center of the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

Then, everyone saw Jia Min's appearance. Naturally, his appearance was unflattering, but the blood on his body also showed the brutality of today's interception.

A 15-year-old boy was able to pass the test and kill many gangsters along the way, but it also shows that this boy is indeed extraordinary.

"Jia Min, are you guilty?"

Emperor Yuanheng saw Jia Min in such distress, and felt a little funny in his heart: "Just like this bear, and put my little Chang'an in a cage, little Chang'an is embarrassing to me."

"The minister is guilty."

"What's your guilt?"

"Returning to the emperor, I have three crimes."

"Well, it's good to know the crime. Tell me, what are the three crimes?"

"The first case is disrespect. The imperial examination is a major event for the court, and ministers should not tease opponents in the arena."

"The second case is disrespect. On such a solemn and solemn occasion, disheveled clothes are detrimental to the dignity of the court. It's just because of time constraints, I really don't want to bear the fame of Jinshi, so I came to have an audience before changing clothes. I wanted to hide behind. Just because of this, I didn't expect the emperor to be caught out because of his fiery eyes."

This sentence is better said.He not only admitted his mistake, but also talked about his urgency and fluke mentality to get fame, and also praised the emperor by the way.

For him, a 15-year-old boy, saying so, fits his identity.

"The third case is negligence. I failed to anticipate that there would be gangsters intercepting and killing me on the road. As a result, the maid was injured when the bandits attacked. Although I asked someone to report the crime at that time, I was greedy for fame and went alone. , I don’t want to miss the Golden Palace Biography.”

"Unexpectedly, there were two groups of bandits who came to intercept and kill them. In desperation, the minister had no choice but to stand up and resist. One was to protect himself, and the other was to fight for the people when he heard that they were bandits from Wulong Mountain. heart of……."

While Jia Min was talking, everyone felt something was wrong.

As far as the first two crimes are concerned, they can barely be counted, but this third crime, how can it be a confession?Isn't this just praising yourself?

I didn't know in advance that the gangsters were coming to intercept and kill me. Is this called negligence?Eliminating harm for the people can be called negligence?How do you listen, the third sin is to excuse the crime of indecency?

Before others started boasting, he started to praise himself. This kid is a bit shameless.

"Ahem, Jia Min, Xiu Aiqing said that you have some poetic feelings. I heard that you wrote a poem in the arena. None of the Aiqings have heard of it. They are very curious, so you give your poem to me. They read it aloud, and it opened their eyes."

When Emperor Yuanheng saw that Jia Min was boasting himself, he quickly stopped Jia Min from talking.

Heart said: I asked you to come out to embarrass me, and you actually took the opportunity to sing praises to yourself and take advantage of me.Tell you to go on like this, won't I become your babysitter?
"This, back to the emperor, this is really embarrassing, and I am sincere and terrified."

"Jia Min, do you want to resist the edict?"

"I dare not."

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Jia Min had no choice but to chant.

"One punch, two punches, three or four punches, five punches, six punches, seven or eight punches, nine punches, ten punches and eleven punches, flying into the crowd and not being seen."

Most of the people present already knew about Jia Min teasing Ma Shangde.I said it again on this occasion, and there was a lot of joy.Many people couldn't help but laughed.
