After the Yinghe incident, Lu Yinpu gradually became convinced of Tuo Jin. Then another accident happened in Guangxing and he lost his life. It seems that what Tuo Jin said was true. Thinking of this, Lu Yin Pu also firmly believed in Tuo Jin's words.

Doubtful, he just felt that if he had been working with Tuojin, he would definitely be able to accumulate merit and gradually be promoted. But even so, Lu Yinpu felt that this time he went south to Hangzhou, it was too smooth. The imperial envoy had just passed Tangqi Town by boat.

There were a few people dressed as servants on the shore who took the initiative to see the imperial envoy. Not only that, they also brought a few letters. After these servants left, Tuojin looked at the letters they presented and said with a smile: "Haha, I have it.

Liu Fenggao cannot escape these letters of accusation this time. Lu Shaoqing, if what is said in this letter is true, Liu Fenggao will never have a chance to recover in the court in the future! If he falls like this,

Lu Shaoqing, I have to congratulate you. If there is a vacancy in the Military Aircraft Department, you will most likely be the one to fill it."

"This... I'm so polite, Sir." Listening to Tuojin's words, Lu Yinpu felt a layer of joy in his heart, but he still restrained himself and asked Tuojin: "I don't know what it says.

What happened?"

"Liu Fenggao has the disadvantage of having consecutive numbers!" Tuojin looked at the letter and said to Lu Yinpu: "The person who sent us the letter is named Yuan. It seems that someone in the family participated in the autumn examination this year, but the seat he is sitting in is right there.

Opposite Xu Buao! This man said in his letter that when he entered the examination room, he saw that the examination booth opposite him was already full of people. But for some reason, in the evening of that day, several government officials entered the room, so that the people who were sitting opposite him were

The candidates changed their seats, and then the person opposite him was replaced by Xu Buyao. And the strange thing was that the examination booth to the left of Xu Buyao was always empty! The candidates were deliberately changed seats, and an empty seat was placed in front of him.

, according to the common criminal laws of the country and dynasty, it is already a consecutive number! Moreover, this candidate, like the previous one, said that there were many officials in the examination room walking around in front of Xu Buao. Later, when he came out, he asked the candidates in other positions, and they all unanimously claimed that

Ordinary officials would never be like this! And because he was directly opposite Xu Bu'ao, he could clearly see Xu Bu'ao's behavior. Xu Bu'ao's eyes often wandered, as if there was something else in the examination room to let him pass.

God. If this is the case, he must have bribed the examination room officials and asked someone to bring in the cheating article! Liu Fenggao was a prisoner, and under his nose, someone not only plagiarized, but also serialized the number. Then Lu Shaoqing, tell me, he Liu Fenggao

If you don’t say much, you will be sentenced to three thousand miles of exile, right?”

Listening to Tuojin's words, Lu Yinpu felt cold sweat break out, because the so-called "consecutive number" was the most serious case of imperial examination fraud in the Qing Dynasty, which meant that not only candidates were cheating, but even officials were actively promoting cheating on candidates.

Once Liu Fenggao's serial charges are confirmed, even if Jiaqing uses the law to be lenient and exiles Qiqihar or Yili, it will be the best result for him.

"Speaking of it this way... Sir, I also feel that if Liu Gongbao comes to prison this time, he will not be able to escape the culpability, but for the serial number... Mr. Liu Gongbao has been an official for many years, how could he do this?

What's going on? Could it be that... there's something hidden behind the serial numbers?" Lu Yinpu also asked Tuojin.

"Hidden story? You mean, maybe Liu Fenggao doesn't have a serial number?" Tuojin asked.

"This official can't believe it," Lu Yinpu said.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. This time, since someone has reported Liu Fenggao's serial number, then his crime should be the serial number!" Tuojin changed the subject, and Lu Yinpu's expression gradually changed as he listened. "Why, he Liu Fenggao

Over there, wouldn't it be true that the more serious the crime, the more beneficial it is to you? Also, don't forget that behind Liu Fenggao, there is another person, Lu Shaoqing. If this person returns to the capital, he will compete with you for the position of military aircraft officer.

, I think this military aircraft position belongs to him."

"Your Excellency, are you talking about... Ruan Zhongcheng?" After listening to Tuojin's words, Lu Yinpu finally understood the intention behind him. It seemed that this time Tuojin was targeting more than just Liu Fenggao. Once this matter got bigger, he would be in trouble.

Ruan Yuan, who was the governor, was naturally to blame.

"Yes, it's Ruan Yuan!" Tuojin revealed his other purpose as expected: "Don't Lu Shaoqing know it yet? When the emperor first heard about Liu Fenggao last year, he immediately issued an order asking Ruan Yuan to investigate the inside story. But what did Ruan Yuan say?

? All the rumors about Liu Fenggao's fraud are all rumors and there is no solid evidence! But now, if you look at the evidence provided by Lu Yan, only a fool will say that there is no problem! Add this letter

Liu Fenggao was convicted of the crime of serial prosecution in the letter of accusation! Then what do you think Ruan Yuan did? Isn’t it just connivance and cover-up? Ruan Yuan has this attitude in the provincial and provincial examinations and the national talent promotion ceremony, so what do you think of Ruan Yuan in Zhejiang?

Governor, can you still do it?"

"My lord, this... Ruan Zhongcheng can be considered an old friend of mine. Moreover, I have no grudges with him. Although Ruan Zhongcheng was a young man and was promoted before me, I know that Ruan Zhongcheng's ability in both literary and practical work is mine.

Above! For him to be in the position he is today, I... I, Lu Yinpu, am sincerely convinced! My Lord, if it is true that Liu Fenggao cannot escape the blame when he comes to prison this time, and it is his own fault, then Ruan Zhongcheng, he... what is his fault? "

In panic, Lu Yinpu immediately thought of his old relationship with Ruan Yuan. He couldn't do anything about pushing Ruan Yuan down from the position of governor.

"Young man is born early, and is talented and hard-working? Lu Shaoqing, do you think too highly of Ruan Yuan?" He didn't want to ask Tuojin, but said: "Shaoqing, you are really an honest person. I understand now, if not

I'll give you a hand, and you can stay in the position of the six-department officer for the rest of your life! Can't you see clearly the overt and secret fighting in the court? This Ruan Yuan looks like a wise man, but in fact he is a traitor! As ministers, let's talk about it

What about Ruan Yuan? As long as he has the slightest chance, he will cause trouble everywhere. Seemingly diligent in common government, it is really flattering! Before I became the Minister of Military and Aircraft, I was always Zhang Jing. His tricks,

I know it better than anyone else! He just took office as governor, and only two or three days later, he asked the emperor to change the old system of Baojia and shotguns. After that, every time there was a naval battle, he was a civil servant who had never been on a battlefield, and he made more mistakes than anyone else! What kind of Fujian-Zhejiang Association?

Suppression, what kind of president is this? He dares to give such discounts to the emperor again and again. Isn’t it because he is favored? Xiaoshan pastureland has an old customization, he insists on changing it. The canal system has not changed for five hundred years. He insists on it.

Let’s talk about the many benefits of shipping. Why is he causing trouble in front of the emperor like this? Or is it to make the emperor think that he is a capable minister and use him more favorably from now on? He was really a good student of Heshen back then, Heshen was like that

He has learned the art of flattering and pleasing very well, and he can also make many scholars applaud him. Hehe, a traitor is like a loyal person. Do the ancients sincerely deceive me? Lu Shaoqing, you have been Zhang Jing before, I

At that time, I knew that you were diligent, down-to-earth, and worked hard without complaining. But why don’t you think about it. For ten years, the emperor was unwilling to take another look at you, an honest man, but what about Ruan Yuan? The emperor approved the governor Zhezi,

Most of them are called 'Yi' and 'Er'. Only in Ruan Yuan's book, I saw the word 'Qing' more than once! 'Specially to inform you that Sichuan Province has won great victories in recent days', 'I have granted you the old post.

Yimian Xinyou', Lu Shaoqing, why is the emperor never so polite when he speaks to you?"

"This... Sir, Ruan Zhongcheng..." Lu Yinpu listened to Tuo Jin's words and recalled what he knew about Ruan Yuan. Unknowingly, he felt a little more resentful. He had always been diligent and even asked himself,

His literary talents are among the best among Beijing officials, but the difference between Jiaqing's treatment of himself and Ruan Yuan is just as Tuojin said. How can he convince himself of such different treatment? But even so, looking back on Ruan Yuan's emigration that year,

However, Lu Yinpu still wanted to save some favor for him and said to Tuo Jin: "But Lord Tuo, Ruan Yuan was able to reach early adulthood because Emperor Gaozong favored him. Emperor Gaozong gave Ruan Yuan the first place in the exam.

Within a year, he was promoted to Zhan Shi. Ruan Yuan was only a new scholar at that time, and it was impossible to please Emperor Gaozong with just flattery. Could it be that Emperor Gaozong's judgment at that time was also wrong?

"

"Emperor Gaozong? Haha, Lu Shaoqing, have you forgotten that in the last few years of Emperor Gaozong's reign, He Shen deceived Emperor Gaozong and did many things to recruit power and accept bribes behind Emperor Gaozong's back? Yes, what about Ruan Yuan back then?

He was promoted because he fawned over He Shen! Master and disciple? They conspired together to create a talented man in front of Emperor Gaozong. Do you still take it seriously? I have long heard that Ruan Yuan was respectful to He Shen back then, and He Shen was

On his birthday, only the most shameless people in the Hanlin gave Heshen gifts, and Ruan Yuan was one of them. In order to repay Ruan Yuan for his support in the Hanlin, Heshen also repaid him. Before the Hanlin exam,

, he had already leaked Emperor Gaozong’s exam questions to Ruan Yuan! Moreover, he also specifically told Ruan Yuan that Emperor Gaozong never used glasses. This section must be seen by Emperor Gaozong when composing the poem. Lu Shaoqing, you also

I took part in that big exam. How is this exam question? You should know better than me? Sure enough, Ruan Yuan made Emperor Gaozong Long Yan so happy with his glasses poem that he got the first place on the spot! Lu Shaoqing, Ruan Yuan used to use

Such unscrupulous means were used to replace Lan Dingzi. Over the years, I have seen him flatter and seek credit ten times more than He Shen did in the past! In all this, only you and those naive and uninformed literati have been deceived.

Are you in the dark?"

Of course Lu Yinpu would not know that before Ruan Yuan took the exam, he had been studying at Liu Yong's house and diligently practicing his calligraphy skills. Even Wang Jie, who was familiar with him, did not recognize Ruan Yuan's handwriting when he first saw it. Qianlong also told Ruan Yuan,

He ranked first in the major examination, mainly because the expression "Three Differences" suited him better. In addition, Ruan Yuan's "Ode to Tianxiang" was able to use the language of astronomical calculations with ease, and it was undoubtedly the top of the list.

The glasses poem is at the end of the story. But now that Qianlong has passed away, it is even more impossible for me to find Ruan Yuan to find out the truth. How can I know the truth about the old things? But I always have a vague idea, even if Ruan Yuanwen is no longer there.

Gao, no matter how knowledgeable he is, Ruan Yuan should not have reached a higher level in one leap and ended up being a subordinate for more than ten years. Therefore, although there was no solid evidence for Tuo Jin's words, at this time, he had already believed 70% to 80% of it.

Since Ruan Yuan can use such means to step on his own group of Hanlin scholars to reach high positions, then why can't he...why can't he do the same and let Ruan Yuan and Liu Fenggao become his stepping stones? Under the resentment and jealousy, Lu Yinpu's mind
