Daqin: This prince always wants to rebel

Noon, Prince's Mansion.

Guo Jia came to the courtyard where Qin Lang lived and saluted: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You don't have to be polite to show your filial piety, come and sit." Qin Lang responded with a smile on his face.

"promise!"

In response, Guo Jia stepped forward and sat down.

Qin Lang said: "Fengxiao, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Guo Jiadao: "Back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, you asked me to investigate the matter of King Yan Qin Ming before, and I have already investigated it clearly."

"Well... tell me carefully." Qin Lang's expression changed slightly, and then he became serious.

"No!" Guo Jiada said in response: "According to the secret investigation by the Jin Yiwei sent out by me, King Qin Ming of Yan did sell examination questions. The number of people who bought the examination questions reached 100,000, and the amount involved reached 100 million gold."

"What?" Qin Lang's face changed drastically, and a surge of anger immediately emerged.

The leak of the test questions was only something he knew two months ago, and it was something that the "Jinyiwei" came into contact with accidentally.

After learning about this incident, he immediately arranged for Guo Jia to conduct an investigation to find out who was leaking the test questions.

What people didn't expect was that the person who leaked the test questions was actually King Qin Ming of Yan.

However, since he was not sure whether it was the other party, he asked Guo Jia to continue investigating. But he never expected that the person who leaked the test questions was actually Qin Ming.

The amount of gold involved has reached 100 million!

Qin Lang asked with a gloomy face: "Are any of the candidates who obtained the test questions among those who passed the imperial examination last year?"

Guo Jiadao: "The test questions leaked by King Yan were all test questions he knew. The test questions known to His Royal Highness the Prince and other princes were not involved. Therefore, none of those candidates passed the imperial examination, but the scores they obtained were abnormal.

height of."

In addition to the emperor and the prince, there are three people who know the test questions, and they are all princes. They are King Qin Ming of Yan, King Qin Chen of Chen, and King Qin Yang of Lu.

Except for the emperor, although some of the princes knew the test questions, the sum of the considerations they each knew was only one-third. This was also the emperor's intention.

Hearing this answer, Qin Lang felt somewhat relieved. Among these people involved in the examination questions, if someone passed the imperial examination, the consequences would be very serious.

Even if it is just one person, the consequences will be enough to shake up the next imperial examination and even prevent it from proceeding.

"Did everyone who bought the test questions remember it?" Qin Lang asked with a slightly gloomy face.

"Everything has been recorded here." As he said that, Guo Jia took out ten rosters and placed them on the table.

Reaching out for a roster, Qin Lang looked at it carefully, and then his face darkened again and again, and there was an anger on his face that could not be concealed.

After reading a roster, his face became colder and colder, but he did not get angry, but said with a sullen face: "Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter?"

Guo Jiadao: "If His Highness is not the Crown Prince, you can leave this matter to others. However, as the Crown Prince, His Highness cannot allow such a mistake to happen. Therefore, in the morning tomorrow, the Crown Prince needs to inform the Emperor of this matter, and give it to all the candidates in the world."

Peace of mind.”

"The idea of ​​filial piety is what Gu has in mind. Tomorrow morning, Gu will tell the story on the grass." Qin Lang agreed with the other party's proposal.

…

Time flew by and it was already the next day.

Xuanxing Palace.

Emperor Qin Tianlong sat high on the dragon chair, while Qin Lang and his party stood on both sides below.

At this time, Wang Wei took a step forward and shouted: "If anything happens, just report it, if nothing happens, withdraw from the court."

When Qin Chen, who was in the civil service team, was about to stand up, Qin Lang, who was in the military attache team, took the lead in standing up from the team and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Accurately!" Qin Tianlong was quite curious about what the prince wanted to play.

After all, every time he went to court, Prince Qin Lang hardly said anything, only occasionally interjecting one or two words. Now that he had something to report, this made him quite curious.

"Back to Your Majesty, I received a secret report a month ago that King Qin Ming of Yan was selling examination questions, involving up to 100,000 candidates and a total amount of 100 million taels of gold. I didn't believe it at first, but after investigation, it was clear that King Qin of Yan was actually selling examination questions.

"

As soon as Qin Lang said these words, the hall became eerily silent. Prince Qin Ming of Yan was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

He quickly stood up from the queue, knelt on the ground, and said: "Father, I have been wronged. I have never done such a thing. All of this is the prince slandering me."

Qin Tianlong, who had a cold face, ignored Qin Ming and asked Prince Qin Lang: "Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes!" After replying, Qin Lang immediately took out the roster.

Wang Wei left Qin Tianlong's side, came to Qin Lang, took the things in his hand and handed them to the emperor.

Taking a roster and looking at it, Qin Tianlong's face became even more ugly.

Qin Ming was so frightened that his face turned pale, and sweat kept flowing down his face.

At the same time, I was very confused.

He has clearly dealt with everything, so why can Tai Chi still investigate? Could it be that someone betrayed him?

Qin Ming felt a surge of anger in his heart when he thought that there was a traitor around him.

When Qin Tianlong looked at the roster, Qin Lang said: "The names recorded on the roster in your Majesty's hand are all candidates this time, and they have obtained high scores in the imperial examination. If your Majesty has any doubts, you can send someone to

Check out their exam papers..."

Qin Tianlong did not respond to Qin Lang, but kept looking at the roster in his hand, and then asked Wang Wei next to him to investigate clearly, especially to check the test papers of this time's candidates.

"How could Qin Lang attack so quickly?" Qin Chen looked a little unhappy.

He also investigated Qin Ming's selling of examination papers and planned to inform the emperor today. He never expected that Qin Lang would beat him to it, which made him feel very unhappy.

The other officials were already so shocked that they could not speak. At the same time, they were even more envious of the 100 million taels of gold that Qin Ming had obtained.

One hundred thousand people will get 100 million taels of gold. Even if you sell a few more people, you still won't make enough money. Your hands and feet will go numb, and your hands will cramp when you count the money...

After a long time, Wang Wei returned and whispered in Qin Tianlong's ear.

After listening to Wang Wei's story, Qin Tianlong suddenly felt angry, threw the roster in his hand directly at Qin Ming, and roared: "King Yan, you are so brave, how dare you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

The roster that was thrown out hit Qin Ming's face with precision, and he immediately turned red.

"Father, I don't think so. I really didn't sell the test questions. Please investigate." Qin Ming refused to admit what he had done.

"You didn't? If you didn't, then why were the test questions I gave you leaked and so many people got a lot of marks on the test questions you knew? Don't you think I'm a fool?" Qin Ming refused to admit it.

, Qin Tianlong's face became increasingly livid.

"Father, my son is really wronged! If my son leaks the test questions, then the prince and Prince Chen will also leak the test questions. Otherwise, how could their counselors get such high scores in the pattern?" Qin Ming directly said

The topic was thrown to Qin Lang and Qin Chen.

Qin Chen, who didn't want to care about this matter, couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard that Qin Ming had thrown the problem to him, and the officials also started talking about it.

In this year's imperial examination, the prince and the advisers of King Chen occupied almost all the quotas. It is inevitable that people will suspect that they leaked the examination questions.

"King Yan, I didn't realize that before you died, you actually wanted to bite others." Qin Lang looked at Qin Ming with a half-smile.

"Hmph!" Qin Ming snorted coldly and said, "Prince, you can actually rebel. It is certainly not impossible to leak the test questions."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Qin Chen and said: "King Chen, since you can betray the prince, it is naturally possible for you to leak the test questions to the outside world."

Qin Chen's face became even more ugly.

He didn't even say anything, but Qin Ming started biting people randomly, which really made him feel speechless.

Just when Qin Lang was about to reply, Qin Tianlong said with a cold face: "King Yan, I am giving you a chance. Do you admit that you leaked the test questions?"

Qin Ming is a stubborn duck and keeps his mouth shut.

Seeing this, Qin Tianlong said in a deep voice: "Prince, Prince Chen, you two tell him how many exam questions are given to you."

Qin Lang said: "Two ways."

Qin Chen said: "Two ways."

The two people's answers were like a terrifying thunder, hitting Qin Ming directly on the head, making his face turn as pale as paper in an instant.

He originally thought that the two of them would get the same test questions as him, a total of eight questions, but he never expected that they would only get two test questions.

In this case, it was definitely him who leaked the test questions, and their two advisers were able to defeat them purely by their strength.

Qin Tianlong said: "King Lu, tell him that I gave you some test questions."

"Four exam questions." King Qin Yang of Lu immediately stood up from the queue and responded with his hands raised.

At this moment, he felt confident in his heart. Fortunately, he had restrained himself, otherwise, he would have ended up like the King Yan in front of him.

Qin Ming was completely stunned.

He knew that each of them got test questions, but he didn't expect that he was the one who got the most test questions. The three of them got enough test questions combined.

"I originally thought that you would not follow your mother and concubine's character, but now it seems that I was wrong. Just like your mother and concubine, you are both people who love their talents as much as their fate." Qin Tianlong looked at him with a look of hatred for iron.

Qin Ming.

Then he ordered with a cold face: "Publish my decree, and from now on, the title of King Yan will be abolished, demoted to a commoner, assets confiscated, imprisoned in a prison, and he will be punished at any time."

"It's over! Everything is over." Qin Ming's face suddenly turned pale, and he sat helplessly on the ground.

At this time, two marching soldiers walked in from outside the door, and then dragged Qin Ming away from here.

"Shangguan Wu." After seeing off Qin Ming, Qin Tianlong tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and then said.

"The end will be here."

Shangguan Wu immediately stood up from the queue.

Qin Tianlong said: "I want you to arrange for people to arrest all the people on the roster and torture them severely. Once it is found that they bought the test questions, they will all be severely punished. No one will be left behind."

He doesn't care who these people who buy test questions are? Since they have touched their bottom line, they must be severely punished.

Even if it is his own son, he will punish them without hesitation and let them know what will happen if they touch his bottom line.

When he thought that his son Qin Ming ignored his words and used test questions to make money, he felt very angry and wanted to slap him to death...

Time came to noon, the court meeting ended, and all the officials left the palace one after another and returned to their respective mansions.

Qin Lang also returned to the East Palace.

After leaving the court, Qin Tianlong did not return to the harem, but went to the imperial study.

As soon as he stepped into the study room, Qin Tianlong cursed: "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I thought that by letting him receive a good education, I could get rid of his and his mother's hobby of making money, but it was better for him to directly participate in the first class I held.

He leaked test questions in the next imperial examination to earn money."

Seeing this, Wang Wei had a wry smile on his lips.

He himself felt a little shocked and surprised by the occurrence of this incident.

At the same time, there were some doubts. How could their people not investigate this matter? They didn't even notice it.

Could it be that some of them took refuge in Qin Ming and set up good informants for him.

Thinking of this possibility, Wang Wei's face immediately became unsightly, and he secretly decided to find this person out.

Roaring out the anger in his heart, Qin Tianlong ordered: "Eunuch Wang, go and investigate the inside of Eagle Eye to see who has colluded with King Yan. Once you find out, you don't have to report it to me.

Just chop it."

Even "Eagle Eye" didn't know about this matter. It only means that someone among "Eagle Eye" cooperated with Qin Ming, otherwise the news would not have reached his ears.

He must find this man out, then cut him into pieces with thousands of knives, crush his bones and scatter his ashes, leaving him dead without a burial place.

"Slave, I'll do it now." After saying this, Wang Wei immediately turned around and left.

This matter is too serious and must be investigated as soon as possible to find out which bastard is cooperating with King Yan.

In addition, doing it in advance can prevent them from escaping.

When he came to his seat and sat down, Qin Tianlong still had an angry look on his face.

This matter is too egregious and if not handled properly, it is likely to affect the next imperial examination.

And he felt a little regretful at this moment. He should not have shown the test questions to his sons in the first place, otherwise the questions would not have been leaked.

Although the number of these leaked test questions was not large, such a bad phenomenon made him feel very annoyed...

Back in the East Palace, Qin Lang felt happy.

Now he can kill a prince without anyone noticing, and then as long as he pushes down the rest, no one can stop him from becoming the emperor.

"Speaking of which, Qin Chen, what on earth are you going to report today? Could it be something related to Gu?" Qin Lang murmured in his heart, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

Su Mucheng walked under the pavilion and asked curiously: "Your Highness, you are so happy, is there some happy event?"

Murong Yao also looked curious.

Qin Lang said: "It's not a happy event! But if you want to know, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, it won't take long for this matter to spread throughout the Qin Dynasty."
