Zhao Ji was on the general stage, leading more than 20 court officials, who all used binoculars to watch the riding and shooting competition on the school military field.

In the martial arts examination below, someone noticed that Zhao Guanjia and his ministers all held a bamboo tube, and what were they looking at in the direction of the cavalry shooting range?

They were extremely confused, but they didn't dare to ask questions!

At this time, Wu Jie stood on the sidelines and looked at his younger brother Wu Lin, riding a horse into the field...

…

Zhao Ji watched the riding and archery competition all morning on the general stand. The only ones who scored full points were Yue Fei and Wu Jie, the ones who scored nine points were Wu Lin and Yang Zaixing, and the ones who scored eight points were Niu Gao, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian.

, there are nearly a hundred people who scored seven points, and those who scored at least five points can reach five points.

Zhao Ji was quite satisfied with the riding and shooting performance of Zhongwujuzi.

After all, it is really difficult to ride on a running horse, bend a bow and set an arrow, and shoot at a deer target that is five inches wide and three inches high and is dozens to hundreds of steps away in different directions.

Zhao Ji watched the horseback and archery competition all morning, and he found that the martial arts contestants from all over the country in this year's Wuju Enke test had very solid basic skills in horseback and archery.

You must know that on the battlefield, the hit rate of mounted archery cannot reach 50%.

Noon is here and it’s time for lunch.

Because the Zhao official family issued an order yesterday that Lu Yundi, the examiner of the Ministry of War, must provide good free meals to the military examinees according to the expenses allocated by the court.

Today, when it was time for lunch break, the military officers received the food boxes distributed to them by the officers of the Ministry of War.

When they opened the lid of the food box, the aroma was overwhelming.

When they saw it, today's lunch was really a hundred times better than yesterday's lunch.

Today’s food box contains four dishes and one soup. The dishes are three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish. The soup is leek and egg drop. The staple food is rice and white flour steamed buns. Whether it is the staple food, vegetables or soup, you can refill it as long as you run out.

When Yue Fei, the martial arts master, opened the food box, he was quite surprised. He never expected that the meat dishes for lunch today included mutton, chicken, and fried fish. This was better than what he had eaten during the Chinese New Year at home.

!

Yue Fei is definitely not a foodie. Even in history, Yue Fei was frugal with himself and even his family members in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

He was holding the food box without moving his chopsticks for a long time, but he had something to think about: "I heard that the officials had long issued a decree to treat the martial arts examiners favorably, and asked the imperial treasury to allocate funds to the martial arts examination committee, and those who came to Beijing

Room and board are free for Wuju children.

However, yesterday the examiners from the Ministry of War distributed food boxes to Wu Juzi, and the food was very poor. Why is this? Is there any corrupt official who is profiting from it? "

Although Yue Fei has a loyal character, he is definitely not stupid. If he has no evidence and only has suspicions, he will never expose anything.

…

At this time, Zhao Guan's family was sitting in a shed on the general stage at the school military field, listening to the report of the Imperial City Secret Service squad...

Since the spy leader received the secret order from Zhao Guan's family yesterday, he has used all his secret agents to conduct investigations from the time Lu Yundi took part in the imperial examination until he became an official.

He finally collected some dirt on Lu Yundi since he became an official, and this time Lu Yundi took advantage of his position as the examiner of the martial arts examination to embezzle part of the money allocated by the court...

Zhao Ji listened to the secret agent's report and looked at the evidence collected by the secret agent, and said angrily:

"Pass the road for Yun Di to meet me."

"Old slave obeys the order."

"Zhaolu Yundi faces the Holy Spirit!"

After Liang Shicheng shouted loudly, naturally a young eunuch ran to the examiner's shed below to summon him.

At this time, the examiner Lu Yundi was extremely excited after hearing the order. He bent down and did not dare to raise his head. He carefully followed the young eunuch and climbed onto the judging platform.

This is the first time in the past two days that Lu Yundi has been put on the general stage by the Zhao Guan family!

He reviewed his performance in the martial arts examinations in the past two days, which was quite satisfactory. However, in the martial arts examinations he presided over, he actually appeared in the rifle shooting yesterday and the riding shooting this morning.

The two perfect scorers are Yue Fei and Wu Jie...

Lu Yundi thought to himself: "The Zhao Guan family sent a young eunuch to summon me to the general stage. Is it because the Zhao Guan family wants to reward me, the examiner, because of the large number of talents in this martial arts examination?"

However, when Mr. Lu, the minister in the rear, stepped onto the general stage and knelt down to pay homage to the saint, he saw the furious Zhao Guan family.

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Can Lu Yundi be convicted?"

Lu Yundi was so frightened that he trembled all over, but he forced himself to calm down and answered for no reason:

"I don't know what crime I am guilty of?"

"Huh?!" Zhao Ji didn't want to waste any more time with Lu Yundi, who was known for investing money in cities in history.

He threw the information about Lu Yundi's corruption collected and written by the Imperial City Secret Agents in front of Lu Yundi.

Zhao Ji said coldly: "Oh! Lu Yundi, it's in vain that I value you so much! I made you the examiner of this year's martial arts examination, but you even paid for the food of more than 600 martial arts examinees who came to Beijing.

It's all about exploitation and corruption.

Now, the evidence is conclusive, what else can you say?!"

With trembling hands, Lu Yundi picked up the memorial that Zhao Guanjia had thrown in front of him. He opened it and looked at it, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He couldn't believe the Imperial City Secret Agent's ability to collect evidence of his crime.

However, Lu Yundi really defended himself to absolve himself of his guilt.

He kowtowed to Zhao Guan's family again and cried: "Wei Chen Yundi, you are wronged! Regarding the provision of free meals to the candidates who entered the capital, it is all the responsibility of Wei Chen's junior officials!"

If there is anyone who embezzles money or food, it is also done by officials, and the humble ministers will never know it!

Weak ministers are only responsible for negligence.

However, this memorial to impeach a low-ranking minister for being the mastermind of this matter is actually an unjust death of the low-ranking minister Yun Di!"

"Haha!" Zhao Ji listened to Lu Yundi's weak defense, sneered, and then said seriously:

"Oh! Gongbi, you are so confused!"

Lu Yundi, who knelt in front of Zhao Guan's house, felt happy.

He heard Zhao Guan's family calling him "Gongbi" affectionately.

Lu Yundi thought to himself: It seems that there is still a turning point in this matter!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, since I became an official, I have been a capable minister. I am less than forty years old this year, and I have become the minister of the Ministry of War.

In the Ministry of War, apart from the Minister of War, I hold the highest official position. In this year's martial arts examination, the Zhao family asked me to be the examiner.

If I follow the normal promotion rate, within ten years, I will be promoted to Minister of War, and within fifteen years, I will be able to sign a letter to the Privy Council.

Moreover, the matter of providing food and accommodation for the martial arts candidates who enter the capital for this martial arts examination is really the responsibility of my subordinates. Even if there is corruption, as long as the Zhao official family is willing to protect me, then the big problem can be reduced to a trivial matter.

, small things turn into nothing.

Thinking of this, Lu Yundi kowtowed repeatedly. He blamed Zhao Guan's family for calling him "confused" and blamed himself:

"Wei Chen, Yun Di, is really confused! The small officials appointed by Wei Chen embezzled the food expenses of the military officers. Wei Chen has the responsibility of supervising and unfavorable affairs.

I also hope that the officials will let the humble ministers take the blame and perform meritorious service.

I will strictly investigate the illegal activities of my subordinates!"

Zhao Ji thought for a moment.

This made Lu Yundi, who was kneeling on the general stage, feel that the few seconds he spent waiting for Zhao Guanjia to speak seemed like decades.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said: "Gong Bi! Do you know that I will not send spies from the Imperial City to investigate this matter?"

Lu Yundi shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't know."

Zhao Ji lied to him and said: "I heard that the martial arts disciples who came to Beijing complained that the free food provided to them by the imperial court was not good, so I sent someone to investigate the matter."

After Lu Yundi heard what Zhao Guanjia said, his heart was in his throat and he relaxed a little.

He thought to himself: "As long as the Zhao family does not target me specifically, then just because my subordinates are corrupt in this matter, and as long as I operate properly and let my subordinates bite me, then this matter will not matter to me."

What's the matter?"

Zhao Ji added: "This investigation revealed that officials under Gongbi were lining their own pockets when purchasing food for the military officials who came to Beijing!"

Lu Yundi blamed himself again and again: "The subordinates of the military department committed crimes, and the minor officials neglected their duties!"

Zhao Jidao: "For the past few days, the martial arts candidates who came to Beijing have been complaining about the free meals provided by the imperial court. Therefore, I went to the outside area of ​​the martial arts exam yesterday and saw that the lunch was really bad!

I have opened this martial arts examination to select many generals who can protect the country and the people. But we have made them dissatisfied with the imperial court early. What should we do?"

When Zhao Guanjia asked this question, Lu Yundi was frightened almost to death. For a moment, he didn't know what to say about Zhao Guanjia's question.

Zhao Ji continued: "I have thought of a strategy. Only Gongbi can come forward to explain to the military officials why they withheld their room and board expenses, can we calm down the anger of the military officials. I wonder if Gongbi is willing to go?"

"Huh?!" Lu Yundi was a little confused. He absolutely did not want himself, the examiner, to admit the corruption of his subordinates in front of all the military examiners, and he also did not want to admit that he had useful people in front of all the military examiners.

Responsibility for oversight.

However, when he listened to Zhao Guanjia's calm words, he actually understood that he had to go even if he didn't want to go, and he had to go even if he didn't want to go.

This was a good opportunity given by Zhao Guan's family to him, the Minister of War and the examiner of the martial arts examination, to change his ways.

Lu Yundi felt that he would never give face, but he was shameless!

"We are willing to obey the imperial edict and go to the military field to tell the whole story of this matter to all the military commanders in order to calm down the public anger!"
