[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

"Your Majesty, the old minister is dull, why is Your Majesty so angry?" Jia Daishan asked pretending not to know.

Emperor Jianming waved his sleeve, and the folded newspaper fell down, floating into the hall.

Everyone understands.

His Majesty is really angry about this matter.

They are very well-informed, and they know what happened today before entering the palace.

At this moment, some people looked at Jia Daishan and his son with sarcasm, while others hated that iron could not be made into steel. They looked at Jia She with both sympathy and sighs.

"Look for yourself, what is said here." Emperor Jianming said angrily.

Jia Daishan picked up the newspapers and read them one by one, his expression changed again and again, from shock to anger, he turned around and looked at Jia She with an unbelievable look, "Enhou, you really wrote this?"

Xu Chengsong and Tu Lu sneered in their hearts.

Jia Daishan is an old man who is used to putting on airs, so it's too late to deny it now.

The others also had expressions of gloating.

"Mr. Rong, this 'full of nonsense' is about your son Jia Enhou, but all civil and military officials in the court know about it. Do you want to deny it?" Xu Chengsong showed an indignant expression.

Jia She said with a sneer, "Why did my father want to deny it, besides, I did not deny that I wrote it."

"Marquis Jia En, do you know what you mean? It is a capital crime to frame a court official!" Emperor Jianming looked at Jia Amnesty with deep eyes, like a bottomless abyss.

Regal is unpredictable.

"Return to Your Majesty, the student knows what the student said, but the student definitely did not frame Mr. Xu." Jia She was calm, neither humble nor overbearing. Back off with arrogance.

Xu Chengsong sneered, turned to Jia Amnesty, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at him with contemptuous eyes, as if he had already won, "Then you mean that this official once helped students take the imperial examinations in the year of Jiazi?" Cheating?"

"Yes!" Jia She said without giving an inch, looking directly into Xu Chengsong's eyes.

Xu Chengsong laughed back angrily, and said hello several times, "What a marquis of Jia En, you are really as sharp as Yan Shenggong said."

"Don't dare. Master Xu praised you absurdly." Jia She replied.

The verbal battle between the two almost burst into flames, you come and go, no one is willing to give in.

Xu Chengsong smiled, with anger in his eyes.

But there was an unbearable smile in my heart.

Marquis Jia Enhou, Marquis Jia Enhou, after all, you are still too young to stand a shock. Now that you say such things in front of His Majesty, civil and military officials, even if His Majesty wanted to forgive you, You can't spare your life now.

"Shut up!" Emperor Jianming was really furious, and he slapped the dragon chair angrily, "Above the court, is this a place for you to act arbitrarily? Jia Enhou, you keep saying that Xu Shangshu cheated in the imperial examination, do you have evidence? ?”

An imperceptible sneer flickered across the corner of Xu Chengsong's lips.

Where does Jia She have evidence? If he had evidence, how could he...

"Students do have evidence." Jia She's words interrupted Xu Chengsong's mind.

Xu Chengsong turned his head abruptly and looked at Jia She in shock. He happened to meet Jia She's calm eyes, which were somewhat ridiculed, contemptuous, and calm.

Oops!This is Jia She's trap! !

Not only Xu Chengsong was shocked, but all the civil and military ministers in the hall were also shocked.

Emperor Jianming was stunned for a moment, and he came back to his senses after a while.

If this is true, then things will be completely different. The emperors of all dynasties would not tolerate such things as fraudulent imperial examinations, and Emperor Jianming would not tolerate ministers meddling in the selection of talents in the imperial examinations.

"Where's the evidence?" Emperor Jianming asked in a cold voice, his eyes coldly brushed past Xu Chengsong, as if he wanted to see through Xu Chengsong's thoughts.

Tu Lu panicked, and even lost his head for a moment, he came out and said, "Father, don't believe this man's nonsense. Mr. Xu has devoted himself to the country and the court for many years. How can he be such a cunning villain?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is innocent, how can you believe what he said casually by Marquis Jia En?" The officials from the Seventh Prince's faction also defended Xu Chengsong one after another.

Song Yuanqing was silent.

It is not without reason that Song Yuanqing became the prime minister of the left. He has always been cautious, or called a fool, and once something goes wrong, he immediately pretends to be deaf and dumb.

Therefore, people at that time called him Dumb Master in private.

A slight smile flickered across the corner of Zhang Heng's lips.

Confused!Confused!Tu Lu's move was really stinky, if he didn't speak, the matter would at most implicate Xu Chengsong, but when he opened his mouth, he burned the fire on himself.

"Shut up, Marquis Jia En, where is the evidence for what you said?" Emperor Jianming asked.

Jia Amnesty cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to send the two of you to the hall."

"Who is it?" Emperor Jianming frowned and asked.

"The innocent victims in this case are Chen Yangran and Master Bai Yongen Bai." Jia She stared at Xu Chengsong, "I wonder if Master Xu still remembers them?"

Xu Chengsong stared at Jia She, his bloodshot eyes were almost like a ghost.

Chen Yangran, Xu Chengsong can't remember this person, but he does remember Bai Yongen. Over the years, Bai Yongen has climbed to a very high position and is already a fourth-rank minister.

"Bai Yongen?" Someone also recognized this person, "Isn't that Mr. Bai? By the way, he happened to be a Jinshi in the Jiazi year."

"So, is this true?" Someone said in a low voice.

Many people who were sure that Xu Chengsong would not do anything were shaken.

What Jia She said was so swearing, and that Bai Yongen and Chen Yangran would come to the palace again, it seems that [-]% of it is true.

"Okay, go and call those two people to the palace, I want to see if this is true or not?" Emperor Jianming sternly said.

Xu Chengsong's hands were already covered with cold sweat, he still supported his body and remained calm, Bai Yongen was nothing to be afraid of, he would not be so stupid as to tell the truth in order to protect himself, Chen Yangran, he was just an unknown person People, why be afraid!

After thinking about it, he gradually calmed down, and he returned to the flattered Xu Chengsong.

Jia Amnesty saw it, even if he hated Xu Chengsong, he had to admit that Xu Chengsong had the ability to become Minister of Rites.

At this moment, many people were so frightened that they cried and cried, but not many were able to keep calm.

Chen Yangran and Bai Yongen were summoned to the hall.

On Chen Yangran's side, Jia Amnesty had already explained the situation to him and told him of the many situations he might face, so when he came to the hall at this time, although he was nervous, he would not make fun of it.

On the contrary, Bai Yongen, who has been going smoothly for many years and has never experienced any major events, was suddenly summoned by an angel to come to the palace, and his face turned pale with fright.

All the civil and military officials in the palace and Emperor Jianming had read the story in the newspaper.

At this time, I can't help but compare the two secretly in my heart.

As a minister of the imperial court, Bai Yongen has no demeanor, even worse than an ordinary commoner. It really makes people doubt the truth of Jia Amnesty's words.
