Chapter 1816: Favoritism and fraud

"Did anyone answer the exam room?" Mao Xiang's face darkened and he suddenly shouted coldly.

Yang Xi said weakly: "Yes!"

Mao Xiang shouted: "Who is it, what is it?"

Yang Xi said: "Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat, Yang Xian!"

"Oh, the left Prime Minister of the Secretariat, you are not slandering people, are you?" Mao Xiang said with a smile.

Yang Xi and Liu Wu were really scared at Mao Xiang's smile and said tremblingly: "It was Yang Xian who told us that he bribed the two scholars and made an exact same test paper. When we entered the tribute school, we could copy one according to the article sent by his carrier pigeon?"

Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had asked the emperor for the confession. He nodded to a Jinyiwei beside him and said, "Take them to write down the details and record what he said just now. If there is a half-point difference, I'll ask for you!"

"yes!"

In the Secretariat, Yang Xian seemed a little restless. When he left the examination room yesterday, he knew that the two people arrested by the emperor were his nephews and Liu Bing's younger brother. When they were copying the questions, they were arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang on the spot and were thrown into the prison of the Jinyiwei. Many signs showed that all this was extremely unfavorable to him. He knew exactly where the Jinyiwei was, even if he did not die, he would have to take off his skin. Now the only thing he could rely on was that these two people could withstand the punishment of the Jinyiwei and not confess themselves. Only by hugging himself could they save them. He believed that Zhu Yuanzhang would not blame him for his achievements in following Zhu Yuanzhang for many years.

Unfortunately, this was his wishful thinking. Early this morning, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites, Hanlin Court, Censorate and Imperial College to discuss matters, but he was not the left prime minister of the Secretariat, Yang Xian, which made him feel that things were a little bad. He wanted to inquire about the results of the discussion, but now he asked someone to help, it was difficult to reach the top. Everyone could see that Yang Xian might not be able to pass this hurdle. He was either others or himself, and he couldn't help asking himself whether he could pass this time.

Liu Bing is his confidant. It was him who instigated him to make such a bold move. But unexpectedly, this guy became very fast. Last night, when he heard that his brother had been in the prison of the Jinyiwei, this guy drew a clear line with his brother despite his father's hard persuasion and lifted his brotherhood. This morning, this guy had never even seen him. The only thing in the Secretariat was Hu Weiyong walking around with a smile, looking at him.

God looked gloating, which made him feel so angry that he wanted to come forward and beat this hateful guy up in person. Unfortunately, in the current situation, he was indeed making some noise. And other officials, who are usually long and short, look weird when they see him today, and don’t talk much to him. Some of them even called brothers yesterday, said seriously today that they didn’t know him.

Since he learned yesterday that his nephew was arrested, although he had already expected this result, he did not expect it to be so cruel. Seeing the entire Secretariat look strange to him, he was upset and wanted to go out for a walk, but he was afraid of causing misunderstandings from His Majesty, so he could only sit in Secretariat patiently.

Yang Xian didn't know what the emperor meant, and he was very anxious. At this moment, he suddenly saw a little eunuch hurriedly walking forward, holding a plate of memorials in his arms, and hurriedly walked in.

Yang Xian sat down quickly and was about to take over the memorials. But what was strange was that the eunuch glanced at the Secretariat and didn't even look at Yang Xian. He held the memorials and walked straight towards Hu Weiyong, put the memorials on the Hu Weiyong's disc and said respectfully: "The emperor said that these are memorials that have been reviewed. From today on, if these memorials are issued, they will be handed over to Lord Hu?"

Hu Weiyong was flattered and smiled, saying, "My father-in-law, please tell Your Majesty that I must do all this carefully and will never disappoint Your Majesty!"

The eunuch nodded and said, "That's the best?" After saying that, he didn't even look at Yang Xian coming out of the Secretariat.

Yang Xian gritted his teeth and suddenly loosened, and half of his teeth were bitten off, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Emperor, I no longer trust me-?" Yang Xian sighed decadently, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

More than 20,000 test papers were proofread by the reader and the ink scrolls, and they were sealed separately. The ink scrolls were stored on the outer curtains, and the red scrolls were handed over to the inner curtains to review the rolls. The chief and deputy examiners reviewed the recommended papers in each room, mainly in the first field. After reading the situation in the second and third field, they reviewed each other and discussed the price. On the day of the release of the ranking, the ink scrolls were retrieved according to the Chinese red scroll red number, opened in public, filled in the rankings, and the rankings were announced. After the provincial examination, the examination papers were transferred and rituals for review, which was called the grinding survey. The papers that the house officials did not recommend and the papers that the main examination did not take were both said to be fallen, and they must be slightly criticized and sent to the candidates after the examination. After several days, the rankings can be issued.

There are not many days of publication in all dynasties, but most of them are selected. Chen belongs to the dragon and Yin belongs to the tiger. It means that the dragon and tiger list is the autumn, and the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, so it is also called the osmanthus flowers list. When the rankings are released, the chief and deputy chief examiner, supervisor, official, supervisor, supervisor, supervisor, supervisor, etc. gather together in the court, and the ink scroll is broken and sealed to verify the name and origin of the Chinese style; after verification, the clerk has handed over the title of the clerk, fill in the main list after singing. The list starts from the sixth place and the last name is

After writing, the top five are mentioned, from fifth to first place, which is called the "Five Classics Kui". At this point, it was already night, and a huge red candle was lit up from the court. The official of Jingkui came out of which room official put the red candles in front of the official's case to show honor. Jingkui's singing voice was very high, saying that Wu Kui was making the five Classics Kui. After filling out the Wu Kui's sub-list. After filling out the entire list, the list text was stamped with the official text and sent it to the court for the public to release the results.

As soon as the news spread, all the students who took the scientific examination rushed to the tribute school. When they saw that the person with their own name was naturally happy, they did not have their own lives. They shook their heads and sighed. Tens of thousands of scholars would accumulate around the tribute school, which was really lively.

A few days ago, Yang Xian cheated on his nephew, and naturally spread it in the Gongyuan after being spread by someone who was interested. As a result, students from all over the country were unfair, especially those who did not have high school, were cursing one by one. Soon, tens of thousands of students learned about the news. After all, there were a few people who passed the imperial examination, and tens of thousands of students who had landed. When they learned that the prime minister of the dynasty was frantically engaging in favoritism and fraud, they could not bear it. Everyone rushed to the Secretariat to ask for an explanation from the prime minister of the dynasty.

The angry student, led by a thoughtful person, soon came outside the Secretariat and shouted wildly outside the door.
