said that the prince Zhu and Yu were overjoyed when they saw that Zhao Junchen should make a gambling contract. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)

200,000 taels of silver, although it is not much, it is by no means a small amount, and it is not something that Zhao Junchen can conjure up out of thin air within a month.

In this way, a month later, it can not only stop Emperor Deqing's southern tour, but also take the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Junchen, a corrupt official and traitor, in Zhu Heyu's view, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, benefiting the country and the people.

It's just that seeing Zhao Junchen's calm look, Zhu Heyu couldn't help but have some doubts, could this Zhao Junchen really be able to do it?

On the other side, Zhou Shangjing, the head of the cabinet, who had been silent, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he looked at Zhu Heyu's appearance of gains and losses.

This Zhu Heyu was secretly calculated by Zhao Junchen, and he didn't know it...... However, Zhou Shangjing will never remind Zhu Heyu that it is, after all, the existence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also disadvantageous to a powerful minister like Zhou Shangjing.

Zhou Shangjing didn't know if Zhao Junchen could increase his income by 200,000 taels of silver for the household department within a month, after all, Zhu Heyu's restrictions were equivalent to blocking all the back roads of Zhao Junchen.

However, Zhou Shangjing knows very well that there are some questions that must not be answered!

For example, Zhao Junchen's question just now - "His Royal Highness the Prince, if the minister can come up with 200,000 taels of silver when he arrives, and the silver is also from a legitimate source, if His Majesty wants to tour the south again, there will be no problem, right?" ”

This question seems to be Zhao Junchen thinking wholeheartedly for Emperor Deqing, but in fact, he put the crown prince Zhu Heyu above Emperor Deqing.

Emperor Deqing's southern tour still needs the consent of the prince, so who is the emperor and the prince? Who are the ministers?

For the Southern Tour, as a courtier, opposition is opposition, but the question of the priority of the monarch and the minister must not be confused.

However, for such a malicious question, Zhu Heyu didn't even think about it, so he agreed as a matter of course!

Zhou Shangjing looked up, and sure enough, Emperor Deqing was moved by Zhao Junchen's loyalty, but also looked back at this time, and looked at Zhu Heyu's eyes, which were quite meaningful.

While secretly sighing for the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhou Shangjing was also a little more vigilant about Zhao Junchen's appearance.

This Zhao Junchen, why did he go to Lu'an Mansion once, and after coming back, he became so scheming?

………

On the other side, above the early dynasty, after discussing the matter of the southern tour, Emperor Deqing also lost his spirit, and was just about to announce the next dynasty, when he saw Bao Wenjie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." ”

This Bao Wenjie is an important figure in the prince's party, after what happened just now, Emperor Deqing always felt a little unpleasant when he looked at him, but he still said: "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

Bao Wenjie's face was stern, and he said slowly: "In August this year, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places of the township test Qiuqiu, one after another fraud cases, according to the minister's secret investigation, these provinces of the township test Xie Yuan, Yayuan, most of them are wealthy, but do not learn and do not know, because of their move, the northern provinces are now angry, the impact is very great, please also ask Your Majesty Xià Holy Judge!" ”

After hearing Bao Wenjie's words, everyone was shocked!

At the same time, Zhao Junchen found that Zhan Shanchang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites who he had just met, suddenly trembled, and his face was terrifyingly pale.

In order to ensure justice, not only are all the rules rigorous and meticulous, but also the central officials will be sent to inspect and supervise during the township examination, and once there is a fraud case, it will be severely punished.

Emperor Deqing reigned for more than 30 years, during which there were also two cases of fraud in the imperial examination, and Emperor Deqing never showed mercy on this, and they were all strictly investigated to the end.

And today, there is another case of fraud in the imperial examination, and the scope is so wide and the impact is far greater than the previous two times, which makes the ministers extremely shocked.

After hearing Bao Wenjie's report, Emperor Deqing's face was also stern, and his eyes were even more murderous.

Although Emperor Deqing claimed to be the Holy Lord Mingjun, he also knew very well that the prestige of an emperor in later generations depended greatly on the pen in the hands of the scholars, so he had always been lenient towards the literati, and the imperial examination system was an important means for the imperial court to attract scholars, and he attached great importance to it.

However, the sudden case of fraud in the imperial examination will undoubtedly greatly damage the image of Emperor Deqing in the minds of scholars, and Emperor Deqing is naturally extremely angry about this.

On the other side, Zhan Shanchang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, after seeing Emperor Deqing's expression, his face changed even more, looking left and right, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhao Junchen.

Then, Zhan Shanchang came out of the ranks, and when he passed by Zhao Junchen's side, he quickly whispered: "Lord Zhao, please help me avoid today's catastrophe, within three days, there will be a good reward!" ”

Then, Zhan Shanchang knelt in front of Emperor Deqing and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the townships in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places have always been stable in the past. ”

After Bao Wenjie saw Zhan Shanchang coming out, he suddenly sneered and said to Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the township test in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places are all inspection officials arranged by Zhan Shilang. ”

As Bao Wenjie's words fell, the princelings came out one after another to express their support.

And from top to bottom, there is not a single one who supports Zhan Shanchang's opinion.

Facing Zhan Shanchang's eyes for help, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, he decided to help Zhan Shanchang first, at least let him get through today's crisis, as for what to do in the future, we have to see what Zhan Shanchang said "Within three days, there will be a good reward".

Moreover, in connection with Zhan Shanchang's previous cousin, Zhao Junchen always felt that there was a lot of article in this imperial examination fraud case.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen suddenly came out of the queue and said to Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty, although the case of fraud in the imperial examination is a serious matter, the minister still agrees with Zhan Shilang's statement, and cannot be presumptuous. It is precisely because it is a matter of importance, so it is not enough to just listen to one side of the story, if in the end it is just a misunderstanding, and the court is in chaos, won't it become the laughing stock of the world? ”

Bao Wenjie said angrily: "Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places have different township tests, the land of the three provinces has long been panicked, and the candidates from the three provinces have been rushing to the capital to complain these days, just I have seen several of them, how can I fake?" ”

Zhao Junchen's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Evidence, if there is no evidence, just based on the words of a few candidates, it is said that there is a case of fraud in the imperial examination, how can it be taken seriously?" In which year's township examination, there are few unsuccessful candidates who feel that they should not be on the list? If as long as there are candidates who fail to make the list, they feel that they are innocent on the list, and they think that there is a case of fraud, and we and other court officials also believe it, then isn't there a case of fraud in the imperial examination every year? In Yichen's view, no matter whether there is a case of fraud in the imperial examination, before it is confirmed, the center of the imperial court must not mess with its own hands and feet, and should first investigate carefully before drawing conclusions. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhan Shanchang should be again and again.

Seeing that the two parties had their own reasons, Emperor Deqing pondered for a while, and then said solemnly: "In the end of the three provinces, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials will jointly investigate carefully, if there is really a fraud case, it must be investigated to the end, and severe punishment will not be killed!" ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Deqing felt a little disappointed, and he didn't delay any longer, and said: "If there is nothing else to do, go down!" ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Deqing left first, this time the early dynasty not only failed to determine the matter of the southern tour, but also rumors of fraud in the imperial examination, Emperor Deqing naturally could not be happy.

With the departure of Emperor Deqing, all the ministers in the Taihe Palace also turned around and left.

Among them, a group of princes. When the party members passed by Zhao Junchen's side, most of them were angry.

In their opinion, Zhao Junchen can't even protect himself, and he is still protecting other corrupt officials, which is really a heinous crime!

On the other side, Zhan Shanchang walked to Zhao Junchen's side, bowed and saluted again and again, and said softly: "Thank you Lord Zhao for speaking up today, I have something to tell you below, I don't know if I can talk about it in detail?" ”

However, before Zhao Junchen could reply, he saw Zhang De, a eunuch who was following Emperor Deqing, come to the two of them and said to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, Your Majesty has sent you to the imperial study to speak. ”
