The music is in full swing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe recent political focus in the capital has revolved around a possible case of fraud in the imperial examinations. Kedao, Jingguan, Shilang, etc. all wrote to demand a strict investigation of the matter, and the crowd was surging: if it is verified, it must be severely punished, so as to set an example and ensure the fairness of the country's selection of scholars; If there is no evidence, Fang Shangshu and Jia Huiyuan will be returned to innocence.

Strict investigation, strict investigation, strict investigation...

The situation in the capital has evolved from a subtle and inconspicuous undercurrent to a torrent like a surging river, and public opinion has been one-sided.

On the 21st, after the four scholars in the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Military Aircraft Department: Xie Xuan, He Shuo, Liu Feibai, and Han Mian gathered for discussion, based on the opinions of the scholars of Xie University, they drafted a vote on the concert of Peng Shi'e, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites: It is advisable to strictly investigate, clearly indicate the inside and outside, and explain the feelings of the people.

After the chapter was sent to the palace, in the afternoon of the same day, Xu Yan, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yongzhi, returned the chapter, and the son of heaven Zhu Bi personally approved a word: quasi.

All the emotions in the court finally broke out after this news came out. The fraud case has reached a high tide. The situation has become out of control because of this!

…

…

The three legal divisions are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Approaching the time of dispersal, Yin Peng, the imperial history of the left capital, received an edict from the imperial court, and said slowly to the three people who came to the public house: "Fang Wangxi, the sect of the world, is always hoped. Jia Ziyu, although young, is a famous poet of this dynasty. This hospital decided to issue a driving post, and it was rumored that Fang Wangxi and Jia Ziyu would come to the hospital tomorrow to inquire about the matter. ”

This afternoon, the Son of Heaven replied, ordering the Metropolitan Procuratorate to interrogate Fang Wang and Jia Huan, and thoroughly investigate whether there was any fraud.

Yin Dazhongcheng and Jia Huan had a relationship in the capital, and they appreciated Jia Huan's talent of "exchanging poetry for wine" a few years ago and making ten poems in an instant. At that time, all ten bottles of wine he treasured were given to Jia Huan. And Jia Huan's several masterpieces from Jinling to the capital, he also appreciates them very much.

Things have developed to the current situation, and he can see it very clearly at such a height. Manchu officials were in turmoil. Imperial history, to the matter of the book one after another. But this does not mean that Jia Huan is really cheating. In officialdom, every official's move has its profound political logic behind it.

In politics, there are often some very ridiculous things, seemingly incredible things. It was only when the water came out that it dawned on people that it turned out to be like this.

For example, in this matter, there may not be no scholar Xie behind it. Is it not easy to encourage hundreds of officials to write on the basis of the scholar of Isha University? Don't forget, there is the big momentum made by Zhao Junbo and Peng Shi'e before.

Do you really think that there are so many righteous and brainless officials in the imperial court? It's just that the struggle needs momentum. Flags and slogans are all typed out for others to see and hear, and this is not really the case.

Therefore, within a reasonable range, he will still give convenience to Fang Wang and Jia Huan. One night is enough time for the two of them to arrange the "aftermath".

In the Imperial Palace, the Imperial History of the Left Capital is respected, and it is called Dazhongcheng. One of the Seven Secretaries of the Outer Dynasty. bit high weight. The business of the Imperial Court is not a vertical relationship with each other, and each imperial history is an independent individual. However, the right capital Yushi is now the title of Qi Chi, the governor of Yungui, and he is not in the Imperial Court. The right deputy capital imperial history is also a title.

In terms of influence, Zuodu Yushi Yin Peng is still able to hold down the field on his own territory.

The left deputy capital Yushi, and the left and right all three of them agreed: "I am based on Dazhongcheng." ”

The Son of Heaven ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to thoroughly investigate the fraud case of the Yimao Imperial Examination, and the normal process was, of course, for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to write a document and send someone to arrest Fang Wang and Jia Huan to be locked up in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial. And now Yin Dazhongcheng means: send a post and ask Fang Wang and Jia Huan to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow to "report".

Being arrested and being asked for questioning are two completely different treatments. This is quite a face-saving approach.

…

…

When Jia Huan received Du Yushi's driving post at home, it was already night. He was staying in Jia Zheng's study.

Jia Zheng's purgeants were naturally sent away at this time. Only one confidant, Master Bai, was left.

In the elegant and transparent study, looking at the driving stickers of Yin Peng, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, on the desk stacked with books, Jia Zheng's scalp was a little numb.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, polite is polite, but he knows the bottom of the matter in the General Administration Department today. The Son of Heaven issued an order to strictly investigate fraud. This incident has attracted attention from China and abroad.

Jia Huan sat on the chair, drinking tea calmly, silent.

Master Bai looked at the calm Jia Huan, and then at the anxious, gray-faced Jia Zheng, and sighed in his heart. Obviously, it's time to use Jia Guifei's hole card. But he was a newcomer to the city, and it was hard to make such a suggestion. But he believed that with Jia Huan's brain, it was impossible to think of it.

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "Aren't you going to see Fang Wangxi secretly tonight?" "If he's a concubine who doesn't cheat, then such a turmoil is obviously aimed at Fang Wang. As long as Fang Wang doesn't fall, Jia Huan will be fine.

Jia Huan shook his head, "Don't go." So as not to tell the truth. "Don't talk about it in secret. Jia Mansion and Fang Mansion are only afraid that they have been stared at by Jinyi Guards for a long time.

The leader of the literary world, if he encounters the edict of the Son of Heaven, it is estimated that few people will come forward to speak for Mr. Fang!

Jia Huan replied too simply, Jia Zheng pointed at Jia Huan angrily and said, "You..." sighed depressedly, waved his hand, and said, "You go back first." I'll see your uncle in a moment. ”

Jia Zheng was a little unsure of Jia Huan's situation. Seeing that he is so calm, it is possible to say that he is confident. But he doesn't say to himself, "It's okay."

On second thought, maybe it's pretended. This is a big thing, what means can he do by lifting people in a small way? His teacher, only Fang Wang was left in the capital. And now it looks like it's hard to protect itself.

Anyway, Jia Zheng still wants to keep Jia Huan, the Huiyuan. After all, it is the hope of Jiafu's future! And it's the kind that you can see and realize some of your potential right away.

Jia Huan nodded, and left to return to Mochizuki Residence.

Master Bai persuaded Jia Zheng before leaving, saying, "Dong Weng doesn't have to be anxious. Brother Shi is extremely intelligent, and there must be a way to break the game. ”

Jia Zheng let out a long sigh, "Alas..., I hope so." After sending off his confidant and staff member Master Bai, he went out in a carriage and went to the prince's mansion.

…

…

In late spring, the evening breeze is gentle. The pond in the courtyard is full of insects chirping like a tune.

Wang Ziteng took his brother-in-law Jia Zheng to take advantage of the bright moonlight to take a walk on the road in the garden. The little guys followed from a distance and didn't disturb the conversation between the two.

"Brother-in-law, this matter.... I have already asked that son of a crime, and he did not collude with Fang Wangxi to cheat. In this matter, he was completely implicated by Fang Wangxi. The heart of Peng Shilang in the Ministry of Rites is well known to passers-by. ”

"Cun Zhou, the case of fraud in the imperial examination, suddenly broke out in three or two days, and now the situation has reached an uncontrollable situation. I am a military aircraft Zhangjing, and the nine provinces are under control, and we have no ability to redeem it. It's not that simple! ”

The prince looked at the bright moon in the sky and said with emotion. Now standing on the table is only Peng Shi'e, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. But, his instinct, it's not that simple. Because, Peng Shilang couldn't make such a big scene alone.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng have different ideas.

Jia Zheng wants to protect Jia Huan. For Wang Ziteng, it was just a matter of face - the Manchu officials knew that Jia Huan was his nephew. As a qualified political animal, face, measured in front of interests, is not valuable.

In the current situation, he has to consume too many benefits to protect Jia Huan. It's not worth it.

About half an hour later, Jia Zheng left the palace with a sigh of loss.
