Chapter five hundred and ninety second courtiers making a fuss
The friend walked away, but stopped involuntarily as soon as he reached the door.
The scholar smiled lightly and said nothing.
That's right, all the royal power in the world belongs to the aristocratic families, and the common people have been humbled since the beginning of this dynasty. The way to get ahead is to join the army or take scientific examinations, but it is often a single tree, how can anyone get up there, and what's more, the shady family has
Feng, how many official positions can be freed up in the imperial court for the Han people?
My friend secretly clenched his fists and made a mental note.
"Brother, there are several levels of confidence in this matter."
The scholar looked resolute, "If I didn't have full confidence, how could I bet on my career?"
The friend walked up to him and asked quietly, "Where did you get such forbidden things?"
The scholar pretended to be mysterious, "It's not important where I got the things. What's important is that these forbidden things are related to the prosperity and wealth of you and me for the rest of our lives. Now I will take out all my lifeblood to share it with my brother. Brother, I want more."
You can’t be suspicious of me.”
Zhao Jin is training his troops and horses at the moment.
Everyone said that the Qin State, with its brave soldiers and horses, would one day unify all countries and dominate the world, but Zhao State only used gunpowder to suppress the determination of the surrounding countries to unite to destroy Zhao.
Now they are all waiting and watching, and some of them can't hold it any longer, so they almost take out their hearts that are ready to move and hang them on the tower. They are really worried about internal and external troubles, and tigers and wolves are worried about them.
Fukang trotted over quickly and lowered his voice and said in Zhao Jin's ear, "Something happened in the palace. Your Highness should go back and take a look."
As soon as Zhao Jin entered the main hall, many people targeted him.
Wangge Lao was a hero of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the three dynasties, but he was also the most difficult type of person to conquer. He held a soul-cutting whip, covered the sky with one hand in the court, and even had the power to establish kings and depose emperors. He was also a strong enemy of the Zhao and Jin courts.
"May I ask, Your Highness, how can a scholar in the scientific examination have any questions in the scientific examination?"
On the way back to the court, Fukang had told Zhao Jin everything that happened here, so Zhao Jin already had a way to deal with them.
He smiled slightly, but the raised corners of his lips could not hide his stern face at all.
He raised his hand towards the people standing under the steps of the palace and made a quiet gesture. In an instant, there was silence inside and outside the court.
They were extremely unwilling to admit that Zhao Jin, a bastard, was in charge of the affairs of the government, but they had to surrender to his courage and wisdom. In fact, they had already surrendered in their hearts.
"Did the ministers discuss it today? Why are you waiting for the news that is better informed than my brave and invincible Heijia Lieutenant? Is it possible that the ministers of Zhao State are all keeping their lights on at night and worrying about government affairs?"
His question made the ministers feel ashamed.
Everyone knows that the prince is in command, the Han clan works hard, and the clan enjoys pleasure, but it is just because of class interests that they can be eradicated at once.
Wangge Lao said angrily, "Your Highness, this scientific examination has been under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs in all dynasties, but something like this that violates the world's taboo has happened. Wouldn't it destroy the prestige of our country and make other countries around the world laugh at it?"
Zhao Jin thought for a while and then said, "What the elder said is true, but what if he did it intentionally? Moreover, the minister of the Ministry of Households is also an official of our Zhao Kingdom. Could it be that the elder wants me to issue an edict immediately, and kill him without distinction between right and wrong?"
Exhausted?"
Mr. Wang Ge just made his own rude remarks. He bowed his hands and apologized, "Your Highness, I forgive you, I don't dare. I just feel chilled for the other actions."
"That being the case, Nagu will give Mr. Wang Ge an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, appease the other officials, and show that I, the scholar-bureaucrat of Zhao State, are not just talk talk and useless trash."
This pun not only scolded those scholar-bureaucrats who enjoyed the imperial salary but were accustomed to talking on paper, but also warned them not to act beyond their status.
Mr. Wang Ge was heartbroken. Everyone knew that the poor clans in this dynasty were incompatible with each other. If he hadn't received the edict today, he would never pay attention to those poor clans and would not look at them for their vulgarity.
The ministers saw that Mr. Wangge had been clearly arranged, and they did not dare to provoke Zhao Jin with any other troubles.
"At this time, I have come to investigate. Regardless of whether the test questions have been leaked or whether there is someone behind the scenes, I will definitely make a mistake. Those who should be innocent will naturally have no resentful souls, and those who deserve to be punished will naturally be good.
The fruit is waiting for you. If you have nothing else to do, just retreat from the court."
As soon as he returned to his bedroom, the eunuch from his father's side came.
This oral order ordered Zhao Jin and Prince Ning to investigate the matter thoroughly and make sure to get to the bottom of the truth.
Before he finished speaking, Prince Ning strode over angrily. He didn't even look at whose water glass was on the table, just picked up a glass and drank it.
"These people are really bullying. They didn't dare to make trouble with you, so they targeted me. How innocent I am. Could it be that I spread the test questions to others, or am I taking the scientific test?"
Zhao Jin just dropped all the crumbs into the water glass, but looking at Prince Ning's behavior, he probably didn't want to know about it.
"The Emperor ordered you to investigate this matter thoroughly with me."
Prince Ning complained, "Look, you can take the crown prince's seat and I will do all the hard work."
Zhao Jin has long been used to him being secretive, but he has to admit that if he needs help, Prince Ning is a good partner.
"What happened today is a bit strange. Hube has never been in the limelight. It would be a bit of a bluff to use this to suppress him. I am afraid that the people behind it have other intentions."
Prince Ning frowned and agreed, "What you said is true. I also think that this matter was not done by the Ministry of Revenue. If something happens, wouldn't they just shoot themselves in the foot? No matter how stupid they are, they will not be stupid enough to dig their own graves, right?
.”
Zhao Jin immediately ordered Fukang, "There may be something fishy about this matter. Bring the examiner and the candidates involved to see me immediately. Do not let outsiders know."
"The family is making a big fuss, so I'd better come to your place to hide."
Zhao Jin said frankly, "Since the founding of this dynasty, it is nothing new for the noble families to suppress the common people, but why are only a few poor people aware of the scientific examination questions? Wouldn't it be better if the children of the noble families knew about it."
Prince Ning agreed, "That's exactly what it is. Nowadays, all the families are acting together as if they have colluded. I don't know why the emperor dropped this hot potato on my head."
While he was talking, those people and their articles had been brought.
Prince Ning flipped through the words and praised, "If it weren't for the test questions, I would have thought that you and others were destined to be high-ranking officials in the government. Look at how good your writing is. I'm afraid even a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy may not be able to write it. Since you have
With regard to this knowledge, I would like to write a question for you now. If you can't write it down, I will behead you immediately and show it to the public. Why don't you tell the truth?"
The examiner shrunk and said with a stern look, "Although we are not among the best students, we are still literate people. We know that this matter is to punish the nine tribes, how dare we do anything arbitrarily, but if we are framed by someone with intentions,
