I repeatedly offered poisonous tactics, but Lao Zhu quickly advised me to calm down!

"Your Highness! These students worked hard to take the exams, but corrupt officials took away their glory."

"Your Highness, do you think we should kill them? Will all the students in the world give up and give up?"

……

Although the inn is bustling with activity on weekdays, since Enke released the list, the inn has become even busier than before.

On weekdays, the people who come and go are all traders and porters.

In recent days, all the people coming and going to the inn are students.

Some of these young scholars speak with southern accents, and some speak with northern accents.

Others speak in incomprehensible dialects that are neither south nor north.

However, it doesn’t matter where these students are from or what their accent is.

They were arguing about the same thing.

That is Enko fraud!

"I thought that the world governed by the Han emperor was different from that of the Yuan barbarians, but in the end they were all the same!"

"Such serious fraud occurred in Enke for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China. How can the Ming Dynasty be better?"

"Haha, the ten years of reading of the sages’ books by you and me has been in vain!"

"Enke of the Ming Dynasty did not care about knowledge, but money!"

The students were talking to each other, venting their dissatisfaction in a weird way.

These students had just turned over from the humiliating barbarian rule. Finally, they had the opportunity to show off their talents and find a candidate for admission.

As a result, the dynasty changed. However, the world has not changed.

We still use money to buy officials.

Enke released the rankings, and there were students from the south.

There were as many as thirteen students from the same high school in the same hometown.

Who can believe that there is no case of favoritism and malpractice? Who can be convinced?

In the inn, Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, frowned.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the complaints and complaints of the students.

He saw that these students' evaluation of Ming Dynasty was deteriorating.

He, The future emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very anxious.

On the other hand, Chen Mu, who was sitting opposite the prince, was drinking tea and drinking water, contentedly.

Not only was he not anxious at all, but he looked like an old man like Long Zhong, peaceful and comfortable.

It was like this was the first time the Ming Dynasty enke He didn't care about fraud at all and didn't pay attention to it.

Zhu Biao was anxious. He even had the urge to reveal his identity several times and wanted to personally vouch for the students as the prince.

But when the words came to his mouth, he was suppressed by reason. Go down.

If he comes forward to speak out now, not only will it not be able to soften the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, but it will also give people the feeling that there is no three hundred taels of silver here.

It can only add to the chaos.

He paces left and right, sighing constantly.

Prince Zhu Biao carries his back He kept walking back and forth in the private room.

Every time he passed Chen Mu, he would sigh.

Once or twice was acceptable, but it happened more than ten times and dozens of times. Even Chen Mu couldn't bear it.

He frowned. Wrinkling slightly, Chen Mu said:

"Your Highness, please calm down and consider the long term!"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was immediately furious.

He made a sword finger with his hand, pointed in the direction of Gongyuan, and shouted angrily in a low voice:

"calm? How do you tell me to calm down?"

"It was the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that Enke was in trouble. My father had expressed his importance to Enke more than once."

"But major cases of fraud still occurred!"

"Isn’t this putting the father and the Ming Dynasty on the fire?"

"Now that Ming Dynasty has completely lost its credibility among students, how...how can it still rule all the people in the world?"

The prince is really annoyed, really angry.

But his anger is not directed at Chen Mu, but at Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao, and the doctors from the Imperial College

"I said I wanted to join young blood, and Hu Weiyong recommended Bai Xintao for me!"

"I rejected all opinions in the court and recommended Bai Xintao to join the invigilation team"

"But this Bai Xintao treated me like this!"

"I...I really want to kill him with a thousand cuts!"

Listening to the prince's words, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth slightly raised.

Everything is proceeding according to his plan.

If this continues, Bai Xintao will definitely die!

However, the fire is not enough, he must let it burn more vigorously!

Chen Mu took a sip of hot tea and said in a calm voice:"What Your Highness has to consider now is not only Xu Da's defeat, but also whether the Ming Dynasty will change after the defeat!"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think carefully.

After thinking about it, Zhu Biao frowned even more tightly, and he asked doubtfully:

"Dr. Chen Mu, do you mean that there will be another mutiny in Yingtian?"

"Who dares to rebel in His Majesty’s capital?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a mutiny right under his nose. It was just because he had too many heads.

"Although there will be no mutiny, there will be no shortage of troubles."

"Even if Liu Sanwu and others did not engage in malpractice for personal gain, they still committed dereliction of duty!"

"Your Highness, how can you calm the students' anger?"

"Could it be that... we can only kill people!"

"Killing people can only appease public anger, but it cannot appease the grievances in the hearts of students."

Chen Mu took out a brochure bag from his sleeve pocket:

"Here are my suggestions for His Highness. If the matter is really beyond solution, it will not be too late for His Highness to open his bag of tips."

Zhu Biao thanked him profusely and left in a hurry.

……

Yingtian Palace.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely depressing, as if there was an endless black cloud shrouding the dome of the palace.

The darkness is so heavy that it presses on people's hearts and makes them breathless.

The maids and servants in the palace all knelt on the ground and buried their heads tightly in their chests.

His forehead was pressed against the floor tiles, heating up the cold floor tiles.

In the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had everyone horrified, was looking at his three ministers who took care of his life with a gloomy face.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon throne. Because he was too angry, his upper body leaned forward slightly.

A pair of eyes stared at Hu Weiyong.

For the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Enke ended up like this!

The original idea was to use this Enke to let scholars all over the world know what the Ming Dynasty was like.

It's all day longScholars worked hard for our Ming Dynasty.

But this first time, Enke didn’t even have a student from the north!

Such blatant fraud is not just a failure to take Daming seriously.

He didn't take Zhu Yuanzhang seriously even though he was holding a butcher's knife in his hand!

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be annoyed? How not to be angry?

How many years has it been since the founding of the country?

The cheating in scientific examinations is no longer hidden!

By showing it blatantly, you are challenging us!

Zhu Yuanzhang has never been so angry as now.

When he dealt with Chen Youliang, he was not angry.

When dealing with the remnants of Yuanting, he was not angry.

When dealing with the biological son of his adoptive father Guo Zixing, he was not angry.

But now, he is furious!

Because, these wolf-hearted wolf cubs want to use science and technology to kill them!

This is messing with our country!

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen remained silent.

Hu Weiyong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling.

Because it was he who decided on the candidates for the imperial examination proctoring team this time.

Enke had such a big mistake, let alone his head.

The heads of Hu Weiyong's nine clans are hanging on their heads right now!

Among the three, Li Shanchang has dealt with Zhu Yuanzhang the longest, and he understands Zhu Yuanzhang's temper best.

If this matter today cannot be explained clearly, all the officials responsible for Enke will have to move their heads without exception!

Li Shanchang was so anxious that he pushed Hu Weiyong who was kneeling on the ground with all his strength and urged anxiously:

"Hu Weiyong, don’t be dumb now!"

"Please tell me clearly what is going on!"

"How could it be that all those who were selected by Enke were students from the south?"

Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang's student, and Li Shanchang has the favor of recommending Hu Weiyong.

It can be said that in politics, the two people are like grasshoppers on the same rope, one will be prosperous and the other will suffer.

Li Shanchang originally thought that he would push Hu Weiyong to the position of prime minister. , you can sit back and relax from now on.

Who would have thought that this was the first important thing in the founding of the country, but it would be messed up by Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the performance of the two people condescendingly.

He is not in a hurry now.

Enke is out For such a big mistake, someone must die.

If the matter is unclear, then they all die!

What about the prime minister?

What about the founding fathers?

What about the gold medal for immunity from death?

We want you to die!

Hu Weiyong was so frightened that he burst into tears and he knelt down On the ground, he quickly climbed forward two steps with his hands on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Your Majesty has learned from it! Liu Sanwu is an upright man with a pure character. He is definitely not the kind of person who practices favoritism and malpractice!"

"This is Ming Dynasty's first encourage, how dare I have selfish motives!"

"This... there must be a misunderstanding!"

Li Shanchang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly knelt down on his knees and echoed:

"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong is right."[]

"Liu Sanwu's character is obvious to all. A few years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, with his qualifications, he was able to act as a tyrant and dominate."

"But he didn’t take a concubine, buy a lot of land, or form a party for personal gain."

"Liu Sanwu has been devoted to the study of Confucianism over the years."

"How could such a simple and honest person do such things as malpractice for personal gain?"

Li Shanchang said so sincerely that he almost said that Liu Sanwu was a living saint.

He and Hu Weiyong were both extremely anxious.

The two old faces were even redder, and the sweat on their foreheads had wet their hair into locks..

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to these words and did not express his position.

But the more he acted like this, the more uneasy Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong became. If the emperor didn't speak, he was thinking about when to use the knife.

The two of them were on tenterhooks. His heartbeat accelerated.

His neck felt like something was stuck in his throat.

Compared with these two people, Liu Bowen was calm and composed.

He neither participated in Enke's matter nor recommended the candidate.

It can be said that he had nothing to do with this incident. There is no connection at all, so he can just sit back and watch.

However, Liu Bowen has a benevolent heart.

He cannot see good people being wronged.

He knows Liu Sanwu. He is a good old man who is rare in a century.

He lives his life by observing the law and obeying the rules.

Not to mention breaking the law, he usually He didn't even kill a chicken or duck.

If there is any standard for a saint, then Liu Sanwu is this standard.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe in Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong,

Liu Bowen sighed.

He didn't want to get involved, but it concerned Liu Sanwu. He couldn't just watch like this.

Stepping forward, Liu Bowen saluted respectfully.

He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice:

Please give me flowers 0

"Your Majesty, what Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong said makes sense."

"Liu Sanwu is definitely not the kind of person who bends the law for personal gain."

"The thirteen students from the same hometown as him on Enke's list are just because there are saints in their hometown."

"I hope your Majesty will learn from this and never kill a good person by mistake. Seeing that

Liu Bowen actually defended himself, Li Shanchang took a deep look at him, then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said urgently:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use the head on my neck to guarantee Liu Sanwu's innocence!"

Hu Weiyong also immediately echoed:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use my head to vouch for Liu Sanwu!"

Seeing the unanimous voices of the three people in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry.

Why didn't he know Liu Sanwu's character?

But Liu Sanwu was not the only one in Enke's invigilation team! If

Liu Sanwu had no problem, would the others have no problem?

Zhu Yuanzhang was fierce He slapped the handrail and shouted angrily:

"Liu Sanwu is not a cheater! What about Bai Xintao!"

"Hu Weiyong, Bai Xintao often visits you at your house!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words scared Hu Weiyong's heart to a beat.

The boundless cold air rushed up from his lower body and swept through his whole body in an instant.

The cold cold air gave Hu Weiyong instant goosebumps.

Hu Weiyong's face turned pale, and his brain Zhu Yuanzhang's accusations have been echoing here

"It’s over! It’s over! It’s really over this time!"

Hu Weiyong was so frightened that his palms turned purple.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong who was already scared out of his mind.

He waved his hand and scolded impatiently:

"Get out of here, everyone!"

"Tomorrow morning, who of youDon't stop us"

"We have to find out the matter, find out!"

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen all know it.

Tomorrow, many people will die in Yingtian Mansion.……

……

Commander Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, walked into the hall resolutely and came to Zhu Yuanzhang to salute respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei intercepted a secret letter from Bai Xintao's subordinates."

Right now, the Enke exam is a sensitive case.

All officials related to this Enke are suspects.

At such a sensitive period, if a sensitive person sends a secret letter, there must be something fishy in it!

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, he He took the secret letter from Mao Xiang, opened the seal and read it carefully.

There were not many words in the secret letter, only a few sentences:

"Prime Minister Hu, please pay more attention to the Enke fraud case and clear my name as soon as possible!"

Seeing these few strokes, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the secret letter tightened, and the secret letter in his hand was turned into a ball of paper.

Mao Xiang and other Jin Yiwei did not know the contents of the secret letter.

But look at His Majesty Such an angry look must be closely related to the Enke fraud case.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and denounced in a low voice:

"Well, Bai Xintao, the prince went against all the odds to give you a chance to perform, and you let down Biao'er's good intentions like this."

"Then tomorrow, millions of students will line their pockets for you!"

"Should be killed!"

Mao Xiang knew that no matter what the outcome of others was,

Bai Xintao's three tribes were destined to not survive.

………………

The next day, morning.

Bai Xintao sat on the sedan with dark circles under his eyes.

He didn't sleep all night yesterday, waiting for a reply from his cronies.

I don’t know if the secret letter sent to Hu Weiyong was received or not.

Today's morning meeting may be an ultimatum.

The crony who was sent out didn't come back overnight. Where did he die?

Bai Xintao was frightened and anxious.

Along the way, he was restless in the sedan chair, and his right eyelid had been beating since he left the house.

Even if there is a piece of melon seed skin stuck on it, it still does not slow down the frequency of the jump.

Even, the first cup of hot tea served by the servant before going out.

When he just took the tea cup, a tooth was cracked in the mouth of the cup!

These successive signs further deepened Bai Xintao's uneasiness.

"God bless, Hu Weiyong must receive that secret letter!"

The reason why Bai Xintao is so sure that Hu Weiyong will help him is because he gave Hu Weiyong a lot of gifts.

If Hu Weiyong doesn't help him, he will definitely expose Hu Weiyong when His Majesty calls him to account!

He is just a small prince. Ji is the prince's attendant, and he, Hu Weiyong, is the second-rank prime minister of the dynasty.

When it comes to accountability, it is he, Hu Weiyong, who is more guilty!

No matter how he thinks, Hu Weiyong will protect himself

"Everyone, this is Bai Xintao's sedan! Smash it for me!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy shouts from the sedan platform.

Bai Xintao vaguely heard someone calling his name.

Immediately after the shouts, there were bursts of pattering sounds.

It seemed that something was clinging to the sedan. Same as above.

Bai Xintao frowned slightly. He curiously opened the curtain and opened it.

Unexpectedly, it would have been better not to lift the curtain. As soon as he opened the curtain, a rotten egg hit his face accurately.

The eggshell broke, and the smelly egg There was no waste of liquid, and it was all smeared on Bai Xintao's face.

The pungent smell lingered for a long time, and Bai Xintao almost fainted on the spot!

Looking outside, the sedan was surrounded by students from three floors inside and three outside.

They threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables at Bai Xintao's sedan...
