royal palace.

Hall of Wende.

As long as Huangfu did not go to court in the morning, he would come to Wende Hall on time every day to review the memorials, regardless of rain or shine in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

On this day, Huangfu Gongcheng was reviewing memorials as usual. Zhang Hao, the eunuch at the gate, hurriedly walked into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, Bachelor Gu of the Hanlin Academy is outside the hall asking for an audience."

"Xuan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Gu Zhang hurriedly walked into the hall, "My lord, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Gu Aiqing gets free without any courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Gongcheng put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Gu Zhang, "Gu Aiqing came to the palace to see me, but what's the matter?"

Gu Zhang casually took out a memorial and raised his hands high above his head, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Yang Fan, the second-ranked scholar in the Hanlin Academy."

"Yang Fan? Gu Aiqing, if I remember correctly, this Yang Fan was able to enter the Hanlin Academy precisely because of your recommendation. It only took a few days for the recommendation to be impeached. Your attitude changed too quickly. Come on!"

At this moment, Sun He presented Gu Zhang's memorial to Huangfu Gongcheng. Huangfu Gongcheng opened the memorial and took a closer look, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Gu Aiqing, how do you know so clearly about Yang Fan and Zhang Qing'er's private life-long commitment?"

"Your Majesty, this is what happened. The Marquis of Jiangling suddenly came to my home last night..."

Next, Gu Zhang described in detail Zhang Song's request for Lin Feng's help and Lin Feng's request for the Jingjian Division to investigate Yang Fan.

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "I see, just when Gu Aiqing wanted to marry her daughter to Yang Fan, Yang Fan immediately abandoned Zhang Qing'er. So this Yang Fan's character is very questionable!"

"What your Majesty said is true. The Hanlin Academy is a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world. People with such deficient moral character as Yang Fan are not qualified to become Hanlin Academy. I have made an oversight, and I ask your Majesty to punish me."

"As the saying goes, you know the person but not the heart. When Gu Aiqing recommended Yang Fan, he didn't know what kind of person he was, so he should be exempted from punishment!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Since Yang Fan's moral character is lacking, then he is really not suitable to stay in the Hanlin Academy. Let's do this. I will ask the Ministry of Personnel to re-arrange an official position for him."

"Your Majesty, I feel that people like Yang Fan are not worthy of being an official in Dayan, so I would like to ask your Majesty to depose him as a Jinshi and demote him to a commoner, in order to correct the official atmosphere of Dayan."

"This……"

"Gu Aiqing, Yang Fan and Zhang Qing'er are not married. Although what he did is shameful, it is only a matter of morality. It did not violate the laws of Dayan. I have no reason to do this!"

"Your Majesty, although Yang Fan has not committed any crime, if the incident between him and Zhang Qing'er spreads, it will definitely damage the court's face."

"I think Yang Fan must be dealt with severely and severely to set an example for others. Otherwise, if the scholars follow his example, how will the people of Dayan treat the officials of the imperial court in the long run?"

"Your Majesty, I would rather have fewer officials than too many. I have to have both virtue and talent. Once officials without virtue are delegated to the local government, they will not be able to withstand the temptation of money. Corrupt officials will harm the foundation of our country. "

"For the long-term stability of Dayan and the continuity of the country, this Yang Fan must not be an official. I sincerely ask your Majesty to think twice."

Gu Zhang's words are indeed very reasonable. Huangfu Gongcheng realized the seriousness of the matter from the beginning.

No matter what it is, as long as it has something to do with the country and the country, Huangfu's achievements must be treated with caution. After thinking about it, he immediately said: "Sun Ban!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Xuan, Meng Xianli, the great scholar of the cabinet, and Dai Qian, the imperial censor, have an audience at the Wende Hall!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Sun He cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

After a while, Meng Xianli and Dai Qian walked into the hall together, "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Gongcheng immediately stood up and walked towards the two of them, "You two dear ladies, there is no need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Huangfu Gongcheng and the two pavilion elders sat across from each other. Sun He immediately poured tea for the three of them, while Gu Zhang waited respectfully aside.

"Gu Aiqing, tell the two elders about Yang Fan in detail."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Next, Gu Zhang recounted everything about Yang Fan and Zhang Qing'er.

"Gu Aiqing means to deal with it sternly and demote Yang Fan to a commoner. I wonder what the two elders think?"

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng finished speaking, Dai Qian, the imperial censor, immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I agree with Gu Xueshi's decision to demote Yang Fan to a commoner. I, the officials of Dayan, represent your Majesty's face and the imperial court." To be dignified, one must possess both ability and political integrity. Yang Fan’s moral integrity is lacking and he is indeed unfit to be an official.”

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, and then looked at University Scholar Meng Xianli, "Meng Aiqing, what do you think?"

Meng Xianli immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, Yang Fan and Zhang Qing'er have only decided to live privately for life. There is no order from their parents or any words of matchmaking. Is it too harsh to demote them to common people?"

"Yang Fan lived in poverty for ten years before he achieved the status of Jinshi. Although what he did is despised by others, it is only a matter of personal emotions."

"No one is a sage. He can never make mistakes. He can correct his mistakes and do good. There are many people who divorce their wives in the world today. I think we should give Yang Fan another chance."

As soon as Meng Xianli said these words, Dai Qian immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Meng Ge's words are wrong. Zhang Qing'er helped Yang Fan pay off his gambling debts when he was in the most difficult time, and also used his own money to help him study and enter the university. The two of them had been privately engaged for life before they met in Beijing, and Zhang Qing'er truly has a deep love for Yang Fan."

"But what about Yang Fan? After he was ranked second in high school, he abandoned Zhang Qing'er for his own career, causing Zhang Qing'er to almost commit suicide. This is no longer a matter of personal feelings. Yang Fan is committing a crime. If even such an ungrateful little person Everyone can be an official, so how should the people of the world view us?"

Dai Qian became more and more excited as he spoke. Huangfu Gongcheng quickly pressed his hand and said, "Dai Aiqing, aren't we discussing? Please sit down and have a sip of tea to calm down."

At this time, Dai Qian also realized that the tone of his words just now was a bit inappropriate, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I just lost my composure."

Huangfu Gongcheng waved his hand casually, "Dai Aiqing has no room for disdain in her eyes. I feel so relieved!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu nodded, "Meng Aiqing, tell me your opinion on how to deal with it!"

Meng Xianli cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Dai Ge said just now makes sense. Yang Fan is indeed not suitable to be an official. I think that I will retain his title of Jinshi and repatriate him to his hometown to see the consequences."

Huangfu Gongcheng looked at Dai Qian and said, "Dai Aiqing, do you have any objections to Meng Aiqing's handling?"

Dai Qian quickly raised his hand and said, "As long as Yang Fan is not allowed to be an official, I have no objection."

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Gu Aiqing, since the Marquis of Jiangling knows about Yang Fan, does he have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Jiangling means to publish the affairs of Yang Fan and Zhang Qing'er in Fengyang Daily so that the people of Dayan can comment."

Huangfu Gongcheng's eyes lit up, "What a good idea. This matter will be handled according to the wishes of the Marquis of Jiangling. I will listen to the opinions of the people first, and then decide how to deal with Yang Fan."

Meng Xianli, Dai Qian, and Gu Zhang all raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
