"Don't! On the cusp of this, don't look for trouble! Zhu Pang thought that Gu Chengyu should not scatter his family wealth and bribe those officials, right?

Gu Chengyu put down his pen and glanced at him angrily, this thing forgot the purpose of his coming again.

"That's what you're here to ask about?" He washed his hands in a copper basin, returned to the bookcase, and looked at the words he had practiced early in the morning.

I saw that the font was slightly scattered than before, but it was a little more sharp. It seems that he is not exempt from vulgarity, his heart is easily affected, and if he wants to be honorable and disgraced, he still needs to hone it.

"I said, are you still in the mood to practice calligraphy at this point?" Zhu Pang really admired Gu Chengyu so much that he threw himself to the ground, and the knife was hanging above his head, but this person was not in a hurry.

"It's useless to be anxious, is this something you and I can control? Go ahead! What is the message for this visit? ”

Gu Chengyu is very grateful for Zhu Pang's concern for this matter, didn't Zhu Pang inquire about these things for him? In the past, he didn't care about that.

Zhu Pang frowned, with a sad face, "What's the news?" Dali Temple has not yet interrogated anything, and the evidence has been called to be verified. My father said that Wan Daren is afraid that they will not be able to escape this time, and the evidence is very sufficient, even the location of the bandit case, and the gold and silver intercepted each time are written in detail. ”

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, could it be that the eldest prince kicked his own account book over? Otherwise, why is it so detailed? Sometimes the truth and the false are mixed to make people believe that it is true, and most of the places may be true.

However, these own Hu Mao have a headache, and he only cares about the fraud case in the imperial examination.

"Is there any progress on the case of cheating that will try?" Gu Chengyu asked casually, he knew that Zhu Pang's father couldn't say everything in the mansion.

"I didn't listen to my father, I just said that I haven't confessed yet. However, my father said that in two or three days, I am afraid that there will be results. Those two couldn't survive for so long, after all, they were old. ”

Gu Chengyu nodded, he had already given most of the evidence to Hu Maoshen, and the rest only needed to be touched.

If he hasn't found out in two days, it will be too wasteful, and he won't be able to do the position of the left deputy capital Yushi, let alone be valued by the emperor.

Kuang Zhaoying went to the imperial study before the last dynasty, and he planned to put the top 100 candidates in prison and search the candidates' houses. However, he considered that some of them were from families, so he could not mention it at the court meeting, otherwise it would cause public outrage.

There are many children of families who participate in the examination, and there are also many children of official eunuchs, and some of them are descendants. If those colleagues knew that he had proposed it, they might have skinned him.

In fact, some candidates are caught in, but they just go through the motions, and after two hours, they will release them. Some will even rule out suspicion during the search, which depends on the background of the candidate.

Kuang Zhaoying no matter how much he wants political achievements, he can't offend those families. Besides, the son of the family is strict in teaching and will never cheat. Because once discovered, it is bound to affect the family, and the family will not allow them to do this.

"Your Majesty! Kuang-sama asks to see! De'an put on a bright yellow dragon robe for the emperor, and was about to tie the robe with a tie, when the voice of the little eunuch on duty came from outside.

The emperor frowned, he was about to go to the court early, what can't he say at the court meeting? I can't see it, but after thinking about it, I changed my mind again, could it be that there has been new progress in the fraud case and the bandit case?

"Xuan!" De'an hurriedly quickened up and sorted out the emperor's robes, and then stood aside respectfully.

"Minister Kuang Zhaoying respectfully invites the emperor to Sheng'an!" As soon as Kuang Zhaoying entered the imperial study, he fell to the ground.

"Get up! But has the case progressed? The emperor took a sip of tea and refreshed himself. Recently, my spirit has become more and more weak, and the elixir failed again last time, but this time, with the silver, those medicinal materials can be gathered.

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a little, and he was also kind to Kuang Zhaoying, who came to disturb him early in the morning.

"Your Majesty! Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing refused to admit their guilt, and Weichen wanted to start from other places. Since the fraud is not admitted, the person who bribed must be the candidate for this examination. ”

Kuang Zhaoying said, glancing at the emperor's reaction out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that the emperor nodded, he continued: "But if you want them to identify it, I don't know the Year of the Monkey." Therefore, Weichen asked the emperor to detain the top 100 candidates in the examination first, and then release the candidates after Weichen's verification, and ask the emperor for permission! ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned, "A hundred? Not! These are all my protégés, and I can't let them chill their hearts. ”

Although he is the emperor, he also has to consider the intricate family relations in the capital. There are many children of the family who participated in this trial, and if he is arrested and put in prison, then his Taihe Hall can be lifted by these ministers.

The official will not let him go, but those old stubborns dare to participate in him.

Kuang Zhaoying scolded his mother in his heart, he knew that the emperor was an old fox. The emperor said it nicely, but in fact, he was not afraid that those families would make trouble?

However, he also knew that there were too many people, and it was impossible for the emperor to agree. He thought about it, since he got the test question or cheated in the exam room, the ranking must be in the front.

"If the emperor thinks that a hundred is too much, then arrest the first twenty, maybe the bribes are among these people, there must be a lot of them! The other Weichen will investigate slowly, as long as they find a few, they are not afraid that the two adults will not confess. ”

If a few are found, it will be useless for them to carry it to death in the year of ten thousand snows, and the rest are not afraid that they will not recruit, just let those people live happily for a few more days!

The emperor hesitated, "De'an, bring me the list of rankings in this examination." ”

"Yes! The minion will go. "The list has already been submitted, in fact, the results of the previous year's examination do not need to be seen by the emperor at all. Only this time the situation is special, so the emperor will come to the list yesterday.

Yesterday was busy with government affairs, and I haven't had time to see it. The emperor took the list and looked at it from top to bottom.

The name of the first member is Gu Chengyu, and Min Feng ranks second. Well? The emperor looked intently, and only one of the top five was a son of a family.

The name of this first place is still a little familiar, and then look at the candidate's origin and resume, is he?

"Gu Chengyu was the one who assisted Jiang Shilang in carrying out the experimental field back then?" Seeing the place of origin, the emperor finally knew why this name was so familiar.

"Back to the emperor, it's this person." Dean hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

Although he can't read, he has a good memory! Gu Chengyu's name, a few years ago, the emperor recited it twice, and he remembered it deeply. If Dean has no merit, he will not be able to take the position of chief manager.

The emperor did not like the eunuchs around him to be literate, so as not to peek at the eunuchs and interfere in the government affairs.
