Father can be an enemy to the country

In the square, the northern officials also showed angry expressions. The southerners did not treat their northerners as human beings. It was not just a day or two. But they were alone and came from the north, which had been occupied by foreigners for many years. They had a low self-esteem, so they kept swallowing their anger.

However, not having an attack does not mean that you are not angry. At least, it is impossible for southern officials to want them to share the same hatred and fight against each other.

"Conjecture, these are all conspiracy theories!" Of course the southern officials refused to acknowledge any of them and tried desperately to turn the blame back on Lao Liu:

"Create things out of nothing and sow discord!"

"And you said you didn't mean to take revenge?!"

"You have to talk about evidence!" Zhu Zhen smiled coldly. A certain princess who did not want to be named told him that there are three tips for quarrels. One is to stay calm and don't get in the way. It's easy to say the wrong thing if you get in the way. The other is to don't be led by the other party. The best way is to have sex with each other. Ducks talk, everyone says their own thing; thirdly, the voice must be loud. Whoever speaks louder will have the upper hand. If you speak softly, you won't be able to quarrel.

Today he perfectly implemented these three principles. His anger dropped from his Dantian and his voice was as loud as a bell: "I have evidence in my hand, what do you have? Who is it that makes such empty talk?!"

"..." A group of officials were so shocked by him that their heads were buzzing, and they were stunned for a moment.

"Oh? Lao Liu, you said you have evidence, then show it." Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, the decree has been issued and the auspicious time has arrived. We cannot delay the palace examination." Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly went out to dissuade him and said: "The world is big and the earth is big. The palace examination is the most important thing. Let's put other things later."

"It is precisely because the palace examination is the biggest one that we cannot allow a group of suspects to participate!" Zhu Zhen said tit for tat: "Otherwise it will be the biggest scandal, and it will be laughed at for thousands of years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two people with cross-eyed eyes, but remained silent for a long time.

~~

A pin drop could be heard in the square in front of Fengtian Palace. Thousands of people were breathless, waiting for the emperor to make a decision.

Fortunately, Boss Zhu didn't keep them waiting for too long. After a while, he said calmly: "Let's take a look at the evidence of Lao Liu first."

"Yes..." Zhao Hao had no choice but to retreat.

"You said there was large-scale fraud in the general examination. What evidence do you have?" The officials heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask the King of Chu.

"Back to my father, I learned at the Jinyiwei Office yesterday that many candidates got the exam questions for this subject before the exam!" Zhu Zhen replied in a deep voice:

"Then the Jin Yiwei arrested several candidates involved in the incident overnight, and during a sudden interrogation, they learned that their test questions came from the candidates Peng Kui, Yao Chuan, Gao Cheng, Yang Demei, and Dai Yun who were also waiting for the exam in the guild hall!"

When their names were called, all the Chinese people fainted on the spot...

Zhu Zhen raised his voice and said: "These five candidates are from Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, and Huguang. They secretly spread the test questions to the candidates in the same hall and worked with them to study the correct answers."

At this time, the other moves were also scared to death.

Zhu Zhen continued to sneer mercilessly: "The funny thing is that even if they work together, there are still a few questions they can't solve. So they asked several famous mathematicians to ask these questions, and finally got all the answers. correct answer."

As he spoke, he raised the thick case file bag in his hand and said loudly: "These are the confessions of the suspects involved and the famous mathematicians, as well as relevant physical evidence. Please give me a clear review!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and Eunuch Wu hurried down from the golden platform, took the file from the Sixth Prince, and handed it over.

~~

When Boss Zhu was looking through the files, one could hear needles dropping in the Fengtian Palace Square.

Liu Sanwu and others were almost suffocating. They exchanged glances quickly and racked their brains to think of countermeasures. You can't just sit there and wait for death, right?

Years of intense review of memorials have made Boss Zhu’s browsing speed much faster than ordinary people. He quickly finished reading the file, raised his head and looked at the living beings under the golden stage with a sneer, his voice seemed to come from under the Nine Netherworld.

"Okay, back then we felt that the imperial examination was a mess and it was impossible to select talents for the court, so we stopped it. Then you tried every means and begged us for twelve years, saying that only the imperial examination can fairly select talents. , give the world's heroes a step forward, and let the Ming Dynasty enjoy long-term peace and stability." As he said that, he threw the files in his hands heavily on the golden platform and said with excitement:

"I can't help but you are trying to persuade me. Twelve years later, we finally reopened the imperial examination for you. As a result, this is how you select talents fairly? Who can enter the imperial examination through the imperial examination?!"

"Your Majesty Rong Bing!" Seeing that another bloody storm was about to start, Ru Taisu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had no choice but to go out and shout: "This is a serious matter. It must be investigated comprehensively and carefully, and with conclusive evidence, we can Come to a conclusion. Instead of just relying on the confessions of a few people like this, we have to overthrow the examiners and examiners of an entire subject!"

After the prime minister was abolished, the Minister of Civil Affairs became the head of the civil service. If he doesn't take the lead, who will?

"Ru Taisu, don't pretend to understand. The confession depends on the value, not the amount." Zhu Zhen sneered: "For example, those mathematicians have never seen the exam papers, but each of them wrote silently Among the questions that came out, there was exactly one question that was exactly the same as the big question on the exam paper, without even changing the number."

"And these questions, as well as the solutions they gave, happened to appear on the cheat sheets hidden by the candidates involved. Could it be a coincidence?!" Zhu Zhen asked Ru Taisu coldly: "I have always respected your integrity. , Upright, please answer me with your conscience, after hearing this, do you still think they did not cheat?"

"This..." Ru Taisu was stunned for a while and then said: "It sounds serious, but you can't convict based on this indirect evidence! Again, this is a big matter, so we must be cautious."

"Rubu Tang is right!" At this time, Zhan Hui, the censor of Zuodu, also came out to support: "According to the principle of avoidance of lawsuits in this dynasty, His Royal Highness the Dian King of Chu Hai is both the author of the question and the priest of Guozi University. Liquor, he should avoid this case! Therefore, all the confession evidence obtained from his interrogation must be doubtful and cannot be trusted directly. "

"..." Lao Liu did not refute this, but instead agreed deeply: "Of course a thorough investigation is still needed, but you can't just do it yourself. I can't trust you either, as well as Duke Han, Duke Xin, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. The government will all come together. It’s best if my eldest brother takes the lead and has a joint trial of ten halls. What do you think, is this enough time?”

"Of course it's good." Zhan Hui naturally couldn't refute Lao Liu.

"Then what should we do now?" Tang He, who was in charge of presiding over the palace examination, saw that the sun was already high and asked bravely: "Your Majesty, are you still taking the palace examination?"

"The exam is a waste!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "First, put these examiners and the examiners into prison."
