Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 26: Beheading in public to shock the officials!

In the magnificent hall, Zhu Yuanzhang sat calmly on the domineering dragon chair made of golden nanmu.

Below stood anxious officials and extremely anxious scholars.

Ye Xuan is quite calm.

It was as if he had not started this bloody storm.

A guard in Jinyi hurriedly came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, bent down, and whispered something.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually darkened.

The clear black and white eyes stared at the officials below, surging with murderous intent.

"Is this the famous Jinyiwei?"

Ye Xuan secretly looked at the Jin Yiwei.

Wearing a flying fish suit, an embroidered spring knife hangs from his waist.

His feet are powerful, his body is majestic, and he is full of evil spirit.

The appearance is ordinary.

It's the kind that can't be found if thrown into the crowd.

Ye Xuan knew about Jinyiwei from history. Jinyiwei was originally the "Gongwei Division" and was later renamed Jinyiwei. It was responsible for reconnaissance, interrogation, arrests, collecting military information, and instigating rebellion against enemy generals.

They were under the emperor's charge.

Very powerful.

On an equal footing with Liubu.

Anyone can be arrested.

Even if they are relatives of the emperor.

The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of this organization was to strengthen centralization of power and control lawless ministers.

His purpose was indeed achieved.

All officials are afraid of Jin Yiwei.

And Jin Yiwei's energy is also very terrifying.

Even when the officials hosted a banquet, they could find out clearly whether they ate or drank, who they ate with, and what they said.

Jinyiwei is like Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears.

Help him supervise the officials.

Patrol the world.

So that his eyes and ears are not trapped in the palace.

Jin Yiwei quietly retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the officials below, with murderous intent brewing in his eyes.

He closed his eyes.

Then open it again.

The murderous intent in his eyes dimmed a bit.

"Yang Xian!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat.

Stand up quickly.

"I'm here!"

"The weather in Yangzhou is good, the food is abundant, and the grains are full. This means that you are governing Yangzhou well!"

"We have clear rewards and punishments."

"You did well."

"Then there will be a reward!"

"We will promote you to the position of Zhongshu and to participate in political affairs."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Yang Xian was so excited that his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

Shenzhizhengshi is a senior official under Zhongshu Cheng.

Has the power of deputy prime minister to exercise his powers.

Historically, Hu Weiyong and Wang Haiyang were first appointed as counselors for political affairs, then promoted to Zhongshu Cheng, and finally to prime minister.

"The emperor has promoted me to be the counselor of political affairs. Is that far away from being the Prime Minister of Zhongshu?"

Yang Xian thought with great excitement.

He lifted up the hem of his official robe, knelt down, kowtowed and thanked him, and said loudly and excitedly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's great trust, serve Your Majesty, the country, and the people, and die with all my heart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"I hope you will remember what you said in the court today and be a good official who serves the country and the people with integrity and integrity."

"yes!"

"I will definitely keep it in mind!"

Yang Xian said respectfully.

Liu Bowen stood aside, stroking his beard and nodding, his face full of relief.

Yang Xian was his student. Yang Xian was praised and promoted by the emperor, and his face was bright.

"Xiwu has lived up to my teachings."

Liu Bowen sighed in his heart.

Xiwu is Yang Xian's character.

All the officials looked at Yang Xian with envy or jealousy.

Unexpectedly, it was just a palace examination.

Yang Xian was able to get such a great opportunity.

Why don't you have such good luck?

Li Shanchang's heart sank slightly.

Hu Weiyong's face was not pretty.

The East Zhejiang Group of Liu Bowen, Yang Xian and others and the Huaixi Xungui Group where they belong are not to be dealt with.

Yang Xian gained the upper hand.

This is equivalent to the Zhedong Group gaining power.

This is not a good thing for Li Shanchang and others.

"That boy..."

"It was just a palace examination, and he actually made so many troubles that he was promoted to Yang Xian's official position... Now that boy is just a fifth-grade official, and he can do this, that boy I’m afraid it shouldn’t be underestimated.”

Li Shanchang squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Xuan, who was standing not far away in front of the scholar.

Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian have never dealt with them.

He didn't expect Yang Xian to be promoted.

Feeling unwilling.

Zhu Yuanzhang took in the faces of the officials, and then said to the eunuch beside him:

"Bring people up!"

"Here!"

The eunuch took the order, and then he hurriedly left the hall. When he returned to the hall, he was followed by several sergeants. This group of sergeants detained two disheveled men.

Liu Bowen and others looked over.

The pupils suddenly shrank.

Li Zhongzu, the governor of Taicang, and Lu Jinxiong, treasurer of the Chinese army.

The two men fell to their knees with bruises all over their bodies, begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"I know I made a mistake. I will definitely change my ways and won't do it again..."

The two confessed sincerely.

Cried until tears and snot ran from my nose.

Crying extremely miserably.

It can be said that the listener is sad and the listener sheds tears.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved.

Now you know it was wrong?

What were you doing before?

Zhu Yuanzhang judged these two people expressionlessly.

"Li Zhongzu, the governor of Taicang, mismanaged Taicang and caused the grain to become moldy. He was a mediocre minister. He was deprived of his position as governor of Taicang and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment!"

Li Zhongzu's face was ashen and he collapsed on the ground.

"Lu Jinxiong, the treasurer of the Chinese army, deducted military pay and filled the army warehouse with chaff and straw. He is a sycophant."

"Behead in public display!"

Lu Jinxiong was horrified when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's trial against him.

The sergeant dragged the two men down.

Give one to the Ministry of Punishment.

One was beheaded outside the main hall.

A shrill scream came in, and the smell of blood filled the air.

All the officials were trembling.

His face was bloodless.

The faces of the scholars were not much better. They stood with their hands down, trembling all over.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down and understood the meaning of Ye Xuan's question.

Officials must do things for the people and the country.

Rather than just writing articles and policy discussions.

If you have only theoretical knowledge and can only write articles and make policies, you will not be able to govern the country and the people.

Also choose this test question.

There are several benefits.

Shock all officials and scholars.

Let them not dare to be greedy.

Don't be greedy.

In addition, the bloody example is clearly placed in front of this group of scholars. I am afraid that this will be a shadow for their lives. Whenever they think of corruption and bribery, they will inevitably recall this incident, and thus they will not dare to commit corruption or bribery.

"Everyone, lift your heads!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

All the officials and scholars were shocked.

They could only raise their heads bravely.

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

"The truth is so tragic!"

"I hope you will always remember what happened to these people!"

"If it's corruption and bribery."

"Kill without mercy!"

"Never forgive!!"

Everyone was trembling with fear.

Liu Bowen was thoughtful.

Although the questions in this boy's palace examination were weird, the results were outstanding.

Corrupt officials were rectified.

It shocked hundreds of officials and scholars.

This boy's imperial examination questions were answered with many successes.

It's really wonderful.

Other officials also marveled at Ye Xuan's unusual strategy.

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and other officials looked solemn.

With just one test question, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to Yang Xian's official position, chopped off Lu Jinxiong's head, and sent Li Zhongzu to the Ministry of Punishment.

Give the scholars a bloody lesson.

So clever.

This guy is a troublesome person.

Better to be friendly with it.
