Chapter 153 Confession

$Ye Ningyu didn't keep it in a silence and directly told the news about them. Guard Xiao also looked helpless. Who knew that when he went out to find out the news, he could find out the same one. "You all went back and continued to keep watching, and report it if there was a new situation."

After receiving this news, Ye Ningyu had a clear idea of ​​this year's fraud case. What she had to do next was wait. After all, the matter had to be investigated by the palace. Sure enough, the news of the troubled students in the capital that night reached the emperor, and the emperor was furious at Zhenghe Palace again. However, Emperor Yu was not overwhelmed by anger. He did not summon the officials of the court, but simply announced King Cheng to enter the palace. After giving some advice to King Cheng, King Cheng received the order and retreated. It was still there

The Yong Prince, who was waiting for the emperor to summon the emperor, could not sit still after learning that King Cheng was Xuan had entered the palace. After such a thing happened, he thought that his father would be the first to summon him and hand it over to himself for investigation. He was even ready to offend a group of court officials. Who knew that everything was not as he planned. "Tell me, what does the father mean? Just don't let me investigate the case, what can he call King Cheng? What can he find out?"

Thinking of this, King Yong couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious. "Can my father use this to test his ability to become a king? If he does it well this time, he will definitely be valued in the future!"

The more you think, the more scared you were, and what you were going to do. Wu Wenmao shook his head and did not agree with King Yong's words. "The crime fraud in history has been a large case that involves a lot. Once the truth is found, some loyal ministers in the court will be dismissed. Your Highness will inherit the throne in the future. If the palace is asked to investigate, it will not be conducive to your highness to win people's hearts in the future. However, King Cheng has never made friends with ministers, so he will investigate and deal with it impartially. In this way, His Highness was removed from this matter and also handled the case. Your Majesty's move is for His Highness to consider, and it is of great intention."

When King Yong heard this, he felt that Wu Wenmao's words were very reasonable, and he immediately felt better. He decided to secretly help King Cheng secretly if necessary. After all, he was just a pawn for the father to protect himself. Although King Cheng did not stay in Dadu often, he was not vague in his work. The emperor asked him to investigate secretly and not to startle the snake, so his actions were very secretive. The officials all thought that the emperor was still holding his breath and thought about who to investigate the case, King Cheng had already found a clue. The emperor listened to King Cheng's report and had a dark face. "Lu Tu? It turns out that the trick was caused by the examiner."

"Father, do you want to arrest Lu Tu and ask for guilt?"

Emperor Yu pondered, "It will be a matter of time sooner or later to ask Lu Tu, but I still have to figure out something."

Until this case was thoroughly found out how many court officials had been implicated in this case, Emperor Yu would not easily capture Lu Tu. Since there was a problem with the Minister of Rites, did the Minister of Rites have a problem? Who else was involved in the other six officials? Looking at the list handed over by King Cheng again, Emperor Yu boldly guessed that among the students who were on the list, how many of the other students were the sons, relatives, and disciples of the important officials in the court. Although the scientific examination was an examination to select talents, the water in it was so deep that it was not a little deep. Emperor Yu knew this truth well, so this time, he wanted to take these thoughts.

The people of the guild were uprooted. He could not tolerate someone plotting on these students. In his opinion, the students in the world were all their own people, and they could only be loyal to themselves in the future, so they naturally had to be loyal and virtuous. Now, these court officials tried to cheat and get to power and put their own people in the court. Emperor Yu would never let it go easily. "Father, my son is not very familiar with the situation in Dadu. If the father had not sent someone to his son yesterday, the son would probably not have found clues about Lu Tu. So..." King Cheng looked up at Emperor Yu, "The son asked his father to hand over the follow-up matters to the third brother for investigation."

Emperor Yu frowned, "I didn't ask the court officials to investigate this matter, nor did you ask your third brother to interfere, because I don't know who is involved in this. If they ask them to investigate, I'm afraid that the clues will not come out, some people will get the news. Your third brother has some contacts with these ministers in the court, and I only believe in you!"

Seeing Emperor Yu’s face full of sincerity, King Cheng stopped saying anything. “Come here.”

The emperor turned around and saw Eunuch Liu serving next to him. Eunuch Liu respectfully walked to the emperor. "You secretly assisted the fourth brother, but he didn't know something, so you remind me one or two more."

Eunuch Liu has been with the emperor for many years. To some extent, the emperor trusts him far more than those court officials and princes. In this matter, the emperor would rather let a palace servant help Cheng Wang than consider others. Among them, Eunuch Liu and King Cheng knew the order clearly. Eunuch Liu accepted the order and responded respectfully. King Cheng knew the truth when he heard this, and had no intention of ruling. King Cheng first discussed with Eunuch Liu in the palace, and then returned to the house to arrange for a thorough investigation. As soon as King Cheng left, Emperor Yu asked someone to summon Cui Jingzhong to the palace. Cui Jingzhong has always been calm, but today he is nervous. Nothing else, it is because this year's candidates have his nephew Xu Wenxing. In fact, Xu Wenxing has a solid academic performance and is quite talented. Previously, Cui Jingzhong was not worried about his nephew's scientific examination, because he could enter the palace examination no matter how bad he was. But this time... the list

After posting, Xu Wenxing actually ranked 12th. Although Cui Jingzhong is sometimes arrogant and not a good person, he is the key to being able to judge the situation and being self-aware. His nephew is good, but if he can get the 12th place, Cui Jingzhong was still a little upset. On that day, students in Dadu were making trouble in the city. Cui Jingzhong keenly smelled a trace of something wrong and hurriedly called his nephew to ask about the situation of this exam. Originally, Xu Wenxing gritted his teeth and said nothing, but later Cui Jingzhong made a big fire and hungry for him for two days. Xu Wenxing then told Cui Jingzhong. Two days before the scientific examination, someone came to him and said that he had obtained the test questions in advance and could be sold to him for 8,000 taels. Cui Jingzhong was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot when he heard the news, pointing at Xu Wenxing's nose and scolded. "My lifetime reputation will be ruined by you!"

No, no, it's not just a lifetime of heroic reputation, but it's possible that he has his own head. Cui Jingzhong went to inquire about other important officials in the court, including the left prime minister Sun Ce, the Hanlin Grand Secretary Pei Qing, the Minister of Works Xie Zhiyuan, the Censor Luo Guan, all children in the family of the Censor Luo Guan, and the Ye family in the Duke's Mansion. He didn't know whether only his nephew bought the test questions in advance, or whether these children had them. If only his nephew had them, Cui Jingzhong was deeply rooted.

I thought that this time was not for fraud in the scientific examination, but purely to deal with him, the right prime minister. As I thought about it, Cui Jingzhong's conspiracy theory became stronger and stronger. The carriage swayed and came to the palace gate. Although the clues were very messy, Cui Jingzhong had already made a decision in his heart about how to deal with this matter. Emperor Yu sat high on the imperial throne in Zhenghe Palace, and there was no expression on his face. Cui Jingzhong bent and walked under the imperial throne to kowtow. "Your Majesty."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Jingzhong, "Get up."
