Chapter 101
Instead of the Ministry of Punishment, I will not dare to risk myself in the future.It's not that I'm boasting, the torture at the minister's place is much more tricky than that of the Ministry of Punishment. "
"Sijun..." Zhou Yu frowned at the end when he heard that, Qi Dai's face was covered with a layer of hostility at some point, it was the sharpness that only those who are always in the dark can have, like a jackdaw in the dark claws.Zhou Yu suddenly felt very distressed, the first time he saw Qi Dai floated in front of his eyes, it was a smiling face full of the world, who made him become what he is now?Is it yourself?
Qi Dai seemed to have seen through Zhou Yu's mind, approached him and said in a low voice: "I said before, I have done enough for good people. Many things in this world cannot be done by good people. Since those people dare to cheat, don't cheat." Blame Si Jiange for staring at them, no one can survive under the torture tools, and when the time comes to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, I also want to see how unclean the court left by Zhou Yan is."
"Sijun!" Zhou Yu grabbed Qi Dai's arm, his chest heaving, he wanted to blurt out "Don't do this", but after thinking about it carefully, what position does he have to say such a thing to him?He killed Xie Kun for himself during the Renzi Change, and lost his status as a courtier. He also became his private minister with his own consent, supervised all the officials for him, and did things that these courtiers despised.And what can I give him?He doesn't even have the qualifications to give him a hug in Luoyang Palace, so what position does he have to stop him from doing that, and return to that beautiful Qi Sijun?
Qi Dai put down Zhou Yu's hand and said: "It's getting late, I will leave."
"Wait." Zhou Yu said, "Stay here tonight, I... I..." Zhou Yu's brain was racing fast, trying desperately to grasp a reason to keep Qi Dai, and finally said, "I still want to discuss with you about going to the official tomorrow." Ministry review."
Qi Dai stopped at the same place, he had been staying in the side hall for three days, Qi Dai felt that the servants serving in the Mingzheng Hall looked at him with a complicated meaning, and he shouldn't stay here tonight because of emotion and reason. But Zhou Yu's voice was like the only light he had walking alone in the dark night, he couldn't refuse it.
At this time, the servant who had been on duty at the entrance of the palace said: "Your Majesty, today is Wangri, and you should stay in the queen's palace as usual."
The ups and downs of Zhou Yu's chest became more intense, and after a long time, his voice came out, as always kind and calm: "Got it."
At the same time, Qi Dai left the Mingzheng Palace without looking back, and hid in the night dressed in black.
95, 95.
It was night, Zhou Yusu was in the Queen's Palace, although he still had a smile on his face, he seemed a little absent-minded.The queen thought he was busy with government affairs and didn't care, so she settled him early.Unexpectedly, just after Yinshi, a servant came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, the official department is out of order."
Zhou Yushang was sleeping soundly, and suddenly woke up when he heard the word "Officials". He put on his clothes and got up, and said sharply, "Prepare the horse!" It was still dark before dawn in Luoyang Palace. All the way to the south, it reaches Yingtianmen of Luoyang Palace, and after Yingtianmen is the imperial city where hundreds of officials work.
In the distance, a corner of the imperial city was already lit with flames, where the Ministry of Officials was located.Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, burning with anger. Thinking of the conversation he had with Zheng Yong in the daytime, he thought that although he made excuses, he would not go too far. Is it because the head doesn't want it?When Zhou Yu thought about this, his heart suddenly "thumped", and the official department was on fire. Whether it was intentional or not, Zheng Yong, the minister of the official department, had done his best. He would rather ruin his official career than burn the papers of Wenju!
Zhou Yu ordered while riding his horse: "Quickly send Qi Sijian to Zheng Shangshu's residence!"
By the time Zhou Yu rode his horse to the official department, many servants were already fighting the fire. The main building of the official department was still intact, but a row of low side rooms was raging, and buckets of water were poured into several rooms that were on fire. , emitting a large amount of smoke.Several officials from the official department had already heard the news, scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously in front of the fire, sweating profusely.Seeing Zhou Yu's arrival, a row of official officials knelt down and said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, please avoid it."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, without any intention of moving.He looked around coldly, there was no sign of Zheng Yong, and the fire was burning in his black pupils.He said sharply, "Where is Zheng Shangshu?"
Frightened by Zhou Yu's power, several officials from the Ministry of Officials looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak, but heard a voice say: "Yesterday, Zheng Shangshu ordered the ministers to organize the failed examination papers in one place, and wait for His Majesty to read them. So The ministers were busy last night until late at night, and Zheng Shangshu was the last one to leave, and the ministers don't know where Zheng Shangshu went."
The man's tone was calm and calm.Zhou Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him, it was Chen Sui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
"Hmph, it can't be such a coincidence, the burning pennies are where the test papers are stored?" Zhou Yu sneered.
The officials of the official department who had already knelt down looked ashen, and kowtowed like garlic: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I really don't know why the pennies where the test papers are stored have leaked."
Zhou Yu let out another sneer from his nose, and turned away from looking at the officials on the ground.He stood where he was, with his back straight and his hands behind his back. He watched as the fire in the ear room was extinguished little by little, and finally returned to calm, and the night in the sky had dissipated little by little, revealing the light of the sky.The servants took out the unburned scrolls and piled them in one place.The test papers were covered with black ash and soaked in water. Zhou Yu flipped through them casually. Even if they were not burned, the ink stains were also stained, making it impossible to distinguish them.
These [-] test papers have become a complete headless case.Whether these so-called unselected articles are really incomprehensible, crazy, or have hidden secrets has become an eternal secret.Zhou Yu tightly clenched his fist behind his back, his face was ice-cold.
Qi Dai rushed over at some point, wearing a black cloak, he appeared behind Zhou Yu like a ghost, and said softly: "Your Majesty."
Zhou Yu nodded his chin, Qi Dai approached him, and whispered in his ear: "I have gone to Zheng Yong's residence."
"how?"
"Zheng Shangshu hanged himself, and I have sent the body to Sijian Pavilion for further investigation." Zhou Yu frowned, but he was not too surprised. Since seeing the fire in the bureaucracy, more than 800 failed test papers were burned. Yu had already guessed that Zheng Yong probably already had the will to die.
"Is there something wrong with the corpse?"
"It is indeed suicide." Qi Dai said.
Seeing Qi Dai whispering to Zhou Yu, the kneeling official from the official department, his face was pale in the night, like the cold light shining from the torture tools in Sijian Pavilion in the rumors, and his heart became more panicked.Just when they thought that they could not escape the fate of being sent to Sijian Pavilion today, they suddenly saw Zhou Yu's complexion changed drastically, and they were uncertain.Zhou Yu threw down a sentence: "Officials of the Ministry of Officials, introspect on the spot, and are not allowed to leave the Ministry of Officials without purpose." Then he took Qi Dai and left in a hurry.
Back at the Mingzheng Palace, Zhou Yu was startled and said, "Zheng Yong really left a suicide note?"
"Exactly." Qi Dai said, "Zheng Yong's suicide note was placed on the table in the study where he committed suicide. The ink was still dry when the minister left. Zheng Yong confessed in the suicide note that he disclosed the imperial examination questions to 26 candidates in advance, so as to Seeking personal gain. The matter involved fraud, and he was ashamed, so he committed suicide and apologized. Before committing suicide, he sent someone to send the list of 26 candidates suspected of fraud to Dali Temple, and I copied a copy, all of which are here, Your Majesty, please have a look."
"Dali Temple already has this list?"
"Yes, this list was quietly sent to Dali Temple last night. The list was filed when I went to Dali Temple just now. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is still here to ask for His Majesty's will. How should this matter be handled?"
Zhou Yu took the list submitted by Qi Dai and scanned them one by one. Most of them were candidates from Bingzhou, including He Pin who was sued by the candidates. But at the end of the list, there was a name: Bingzhou Jinyang, Da Sima Mansion, Wen Tao.
Zhou Yu stared at the two names "Da Sima" and "Wen Tao", and finally said after a long while, "How could there be the name Wen Tao?"
Qi Dai said: "If it hadn't been for the involvement of Da Sima and Wen Tao, I would have planned to imprison all the people on this list in Sijian Pavilion just now."
Zhou Yu took a few steps: "Sijun, how credible do you think this suicide note is?"
Qi Dai's eyes were indistinguishable: "Your Majesty, I and Wen Tao are old acquaintances, so it is inevitable that my words are biased. Besides, Da Sima is an important minister, and the friendship with His Majesty is extraordinary. Wen Tao comes from Da Sima's mansion, so I dare not speak falsely." .”
Zhou Yu encouraged with his eyes: "Just say it, I forgive you for your innocence."
Qi Dai took a deep breath and said, "This matter is strange. Since Zheng Yong has decided to apologise, why did he burn the failed test papers? According to my guess, he only admitted to leaking the test questions, and he didn't want His Majesty to see the failed one-thousand More than a hundred test papers show that the bureaucratic fraud is far more than leaking questions to these 26 candidates. The so-called layer-by-layer screening of the first two thousand test papers is just to ensure that the final candidates who get the test questions in advance can be recorded. Election. He has no control over His Majesty's final selection step, and can only mix water into the two hundred so-called best-of-the-best test papers selected so that His Majesty can choose those fraudulent test papers by himself."
Zhou Yu suddenly said: "No wonder I feel that the poor students in the test papers submitted this time did not write well. When I selected the papers, I deliberately favored the poor and could not select a few really good articles. Could it be that those who are really outstanding All the articles written by the poor families were deliberately screened out by the officials?"
"The test papers are now destroyed, so there is no way to find them."
"In this way, Zheng Yong's suicide note did not explain all his crimes, and he intends to stop the fraud of officials by himself." Zhou Yudao.
"Zheng Yong's confession was not sincere, so the dance
