"The series of plots against the crown prince by the king of Han and the king of Zhao last year were all borrowed from the experience of Ji Gang the year before, and it was under the example of the governor of Ji that they realized that they could take advantage of the emperor's fear that his authority would be challenged to bring down the crown prince." Yan Qingdao: "If it weren't for the ministers desperately protecting each other, and the adults in Shanxi, the prince might have really been planted." ”

Wang Xian listened silently, as if he had eaten honey in his heart. Originally, he only regarded Yan Qing as a master of solving crimes, but he didn't expect that this person would be able to guide the country, and he really picked up a treasure.

"If the emperor calms down afterwards, he will also understand that he is not a winner at all, and for the sake of the so-called face, he single-handedly destroyed the law of the imperial court, what kind of Ming Jun did?" Yan Qing said slowly: "The emperor wants to be the first emperor of the ages, what is the first emperor of the ages?" You can be brutal, you can usurp the throne, but you must not be fooled! So after the emperor came back to his senses, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became? Moreover, Liu Shangshu and Wang Zongxian are both important ministers of the country with noble character, but they were demoted from the court because of this, and it is impossible for the emperor not to regret it. Therefore, the reason why the emperor agreed to retry the case as soon as he filed a complaint was that the emperor wanted to retry the case! ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, admitting that Yan Qing made a lot of sense.

"But the emperor will definitely be worried that the trial of the case will not be controlled, what if something detrimental to the reputation of the first trial is revealed?" Yan Qingyu said with a faint mockery: "So the emperor's concern for this case is far beyond what he showed, this time we are going to open the Hades Palace to interrogate Li Chun at night, and the lord said that the emperor can bear to come and see?" ”

"I really can't help it." Wang Xian couldn't help but nod and said, "It seems that if you don't let those nobles come together, the emperor has already foreseen that he may lose face......"

"So adults don't have to worry at all, we are actually following the emperor's heart," Yan Qing said slowly: "Even if the emperor can't get over his face for a while, when this anger is gone, he will only think that the adult is loyal and capable, and he will not think that you deliberately made him make a fool of himself." ”

"Ha Luha, let you say that, I can finally sleep peacefully." Wang Xian smiled and said, "No matter what, I still want to congratulate Brother Yan on clearing his grievances and regaining his freedom!" ”

"Hehe......" Yan Qing smiled and touched his thigh with his hand, obviously not much excited. Even if the emperor rehabilitates him, his leg will not be better, and he will no longer be able to become an official, which is still an out-and-out ...... Wreck.

Wang Xian knew what Yan Qing was depressed about, but he couldn't persuade him to do this kind of thing, so he had to divert Yan Qing's attention and said, "You say, how big is the blow to Ji Gang this time?" ”

"Ji Gang...... Yan Qing thought for a moment and said softly: "The blow to him must be very big, but it is not fatal." ”

"Yes, as we said that time, as long as he is not charged with that crime, it will be difficult for the emperor to make up his mind to get rid of him." Wang Xian nodded.

"What my lord said is very true," Yan Qing frowned and said: "And the emperor is going to Beijing soon, and this will be a year and a half, and at this time, he will not move the discipline outline." ”

"Yes, the emperor still needs this watchdog to show him his home." Wang Xian nodded.

"So for adults, the hard days are still ahead," Yan Qing said solemnly: "And Ji Gang must have realized that he has become a yellow flower of tomorrow, that will be his last chance, beware of him jumping off the wall in a hurry!" ”

"Yes." Wang Xianshen thought and said: "Next, it will be the decisive moment. As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Qing's shoulder and said, "Brother Zilian, be sure to help me!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord," Yan Qing stared at him and said, "Ji Gang is my real enemy!" ”

Wang Xian was both happy and worried when he heard this, because the subtext of Yan Qing's words was that he would not leave until he killed Ji Gang, but after killing Ji Gang, he had no reason to stay here anymore......

Of course, Wang Xian won't let the boiled duck fly away, but fortunately, it won't take a year and a half to kill Ji Gang, and he still has time to influence this guy a little bit .......

On the ninth day of the first month of March, it is the day of the trial list, as soon as the auspicious time arrives, three cannons sound, and the tribute courtyard that has been closed for more than ten days is finally opened, and the two teams of brocade guards wearing red official robes protect the examiner who holds the list, and come to the east side of the tribute courtyard in front of the vermilion wall.

In front of the vermilion wall, a ladder has already been erected, and in front of the ladder, there are ten floors of people and their families who come to see the list.

"Oh, I'm hit!" From time to time, there were sounds of ecstasy, and the examinees squeezed out of the crowd to celebrate in the compliments of everyone. Of course, those who win the test have reason to celebrate, because although there is still a palace test after the examination, the palace examination is not the second ranking, that is, as long as it is on the list today, as long as the palace examination does not make a big mistake, they will be in the jinshi!

Ten or twenty years of hard work, finally at this moment, there is a result, if you don't lose your posture, don't be arrogant, don't cry, it's called unkind.

On the contrary, most of the nameless people on the list just sighed gloomily and calmly congratulated Xianda in the same year, and few were too disappointed. This is not difficult to understand, after all, they are already lifters, even if they do not go further in their lives, their status is far beyond those underdeveloped in the same year, and they can enjoy a good life. What's more, you can take the test again after three years, but the difficulty is much smaller than that of the township test.

The so-called elegance has always been based on the premise of calmness.

Therefore, the atmosphere outside the Gongyuan is generally joyful and harmonious. At this time, the examiners who had been locked up in the Gongyuan for more than 20 days could finally regain their freedom. When the door of the Gongyuan was opened, the examiners saw dozens of brocade guards wearing red official uniforms, guarding an eight-lift sedan chair, which was naturally waiting for Ji Gang.

When Ji Gang's figure appeared at the gate of the Gongyuan, Yuan Jiang and Wang Qian, the leaders of the team, hurriedly rushed up, knelt in front of him, and kowtowed: "Welcome the old ancestor out of the customs!" ”

"Welcome to the ancestors!" A group of brocade guards also knelt down with brushes, full of momentum.

"Hmm." Ji Gang nodded, and took a deep breath of the air outside the Tribute Courtyard, although it was only a wall, it made his heart iron for a while. The discipline of this re-examination is extremely strict, and no one dares to make any more leaks, and the result is that he is in charge in the Gongyuan, just like going to prison, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world......

Although he was eager to know what happened during his absence, Ji Gang still maintained the composure of the first grade, he nodded to the disciples and grandchildren, and sat down in the sedan chair steadily.

"Get up!" With Yuan Jiang's call, the eight-lift sedan chair was lifted steadily and slowly went to the Jinyi Guard's yamen.

When the sedan chair fell in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, Ji Gang saw a different situation, as soon as the sedan curtain was opened, he saw a group of disciples and grandchildren crying and mourning: "Ancestor, you can count it back......"

"What, what's going on?" Ji Gang's heart tightened, and he stepped into the signing room, and his subordinates hurriedly took off his cloak, took off his official robe, and took off his boots, while Ji Gang himself took the soaked and wrung out white towel to clean his face.

"Then Wang Xian took advantage of the absence of the governor to really make waves," Zhuang Jing reported softly on the side: "He cleaned up Pang Ying first, and then pried Li Chun's mouth open......"

Ji Gang was not interested in the former, but when he heard the latter move, the movements in his hands stopped for a moment, and asked in a dark voice: "Li Chun recruited?" ”

"Recruited." Zhuang Jing nodded and said bitterly.

"How is that possible? Even if he is tired of living, does he care about the lives of his family of 100 people? Ji Gang's face was gloomy and dripped: "You too, didn't the official authorize you to stop him from opening the court during this time!" ”

"Dong Weng doesn't know anything...... Zhuang Jing sighed: "Wang Xian invited that Yan Qing back from the criminal department, and Yan Qing gave him an idea - to learn from that Bao Zheng to interrogate Guo Huai at night, so that Li Chun mistakenly thought that he had arrived in the underworld, and he didn't leave anything in front of the king of Hades......"

"Ridiculous!" Ji Gang said angrily: "Did Li Chun eat lard and be blinded? You can even believe this kind of indiscriminate trick! ”

"In any case, he has already recruited ......" Zhuang Jing looked at Ji Gang a little timidly, and whispered: "And the emperor was also present at that time......

"The emperor is also there?" Ji Gang was originally just annoyed, but when he heard this, his hair stood up in shock, and the face of the ancient well was not wavering, and he suddenly said in a white voice: "What did Li Chundu say?" ”

"It's all said......" Zhuang Jing said dejectedly, although the emperor strictly ordered everyone not to leak it, but there were not a few people who knew about it that day, how could they hide it from the powerful Jinyi Guard?

"What did you say?" Ji Gang grabbed Zhuang Jing's wrist and asked in a dark voice.

"What should I say...... I said everything that shouldn't be said......" Zhuang Jing said timidly.

"Lao Tzu killed him!" An abnormal flush flashed on Ji Gang's face, and he said hatefully. His hands were like iron tongs, and the clamps were in severe pain, and his head was covered with sweat, but he didn't dare to struggle.

Fortunately, before Zhuang Jing's bones were cracked, Ji Gang let go of his hand, because he finally thought of that terrible question, and said weakly: "Your Majesty's side...... How so? ”

"It's been three days since the North Town Fusi closed the case." Zhuang Jing gasped and said, "Except for killing Li Chun on the spot, the emperor has no will." ”

"Kill Li Chun on the spot?" Ji Gang touched his stiff beard and said, "It seems that the emperor doesn't want this case to leak out......"

"Yes, the case is in broad daylight, and the emperor's face is not good-looking, so this case is very likely, or it will not be resolved." Zhuang Jing secretly moved his wrist and said, "But Dong Weng can't be careless at all, because it doesn't matter what the emperor does now." What matters is what he thinks in his heart. ”

"Yes......" Ji Ganggang's face was a little bloody, and he turned pale again, and sweat beads were soaked on his forehead and said: "Now the emperor is afraid that he will make up his mind to cook the rabbit and the dog......"

"Dong Weng doesn't have to be discouraged," Zhuang Jing hurriedly cheered Ji Gang up: "Even if the emperor doesn't like Dong Weng now, he must rely on Dong Weng, because there is someone who will definitely make him more at ease!" ”

"Aha......" Ji Gang slapped his forehead and laughed strangely: "How did I forget that as soon as the emperor made a northern tour, the prince was going to supervise the country." ”

"Yes, and someone is more anxious than us......" Zhuang Jingyin laughed: "It is not yet known who killed the deer!" ”
