The prisoners of this era have no human rights. The prison cells in Kaifeng Mansion are really not a place for people to stay.
Fortunately, not long after he came in, the old acquaintance Zhou Qing arrived in a hurry and hurriedly arranged to change Jian Chuan's clean and refreshing cell. He was afraid that Jian Chuan would disturb him, so he moved all the prisoners around him away.
During this time, I enthusiastically brought some wine and food.
Zhou Qing is a man who is greedy, but his eyesight is still surplus. Jian Chuan's reputation is obvious. His three mentors are the peak of the power of the dynasty. Not to mention that what Jian Chuan committed is only insignificant.
If there is a small matter, it is really a serious crime, and it may not be possible to be punished. Therefore, now taking advantage of Jian Chuan's injustice, Zhou Qing must of course be flattered to make up for the gap at that time.
As the saying goes, it is said that if you don’t hit someone with a smile, and there are still many things to do next, so Jian Chuan invited Zhou Qing to sit down and have two drinks with a smile.
Zhou Qing couldn't ask for it, so he immediately sat opposite Jian Chuan and poured wine for Jian Chuan attentively.
When chatting, Zhou Qing stood up for Jian Chuan: "The right prince is really a big deal. Isn't it just a mistake to burn the paper? Isn't it enough to get another copy and rewrite it? As for the hard work of locking my brother in and suffering?"
Jian Chuan sighed and said, "Isn't that?"
Seeing that Jian Chuan agreed, Zhou Qing certainly wanted to continue this topic: "Hey, I said that this is also a disaster. Who made me a disciple of the left prime minister?"
After hearing what Zhou Qing said, Jian Chuan became interested and asked, "What does it mean?"
Zhou Qing whispered: "Don't you know, brother? This spring, the left prime minister intends to retire and return to his post. There have been rumors in the court that after the left prime minister retires, the right prime minister will step up and become the leader of all officials.
Who would have thought that the left prime minister suddenly changed his mind? Now, the right prime minister is angry but cannot do anything to the left prime minister. Can you make a big fuss when you take a chance?"
Hearing this, Jian Chuan smiled and knew in his heart that Lu Gongzhu was not such a person, but Zhou Qing judged the gentleman by his villain's heart, but did not refute it. He said it and talked about other things, but in his heart
In meditating: "In history, Sima Guang did retire this year and would die soon. Now, not only Sima Guang will not die this year, but also Wang Anshi will not. It seems that my appearance has changed history.
The direction is, I just don’t know where to develop.”
While chatting, I heard the whistle and whistle of Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu: "Why haven't you arrived yet? How are my brother doing? Have you suffered any hardships?"
Before he finished speaking, Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu had already appeared in front of the prison gate and came in directly.
Seeing the two, Jian Chuan was so angry that he thought that it was not that you two had nothing to do to find trouble, so why did I do this? But Zhou Qing was by the side, and these words could not be said, so he asked casually: "Why are you?
Come in."
Ge Chunzhu raised her fat face and said, "Princess Qingning brought us here in person. Who dares to stop us? It's just that this is a men's prison, so she didn't let her come in together."
Qiu Lanxi complained: "Why are you so careless? It's nothing to be in prison for one month, but it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity in vain."
Seeing that the two were still complacent, Jian Chuan felt that it was necessary to mention them, so he said to Zhou Qing: "Brother Zhou, I have some private matters to explain, you see..."
Zhou Qing immediately understood and hurriedly went out. Shang Huan closed the prison door carefully. Then he realized that this was the prison cell, so he quickly pushed it open again.
Seeing Zhou Qing go away with a smile, Jian Chuan's face immediately became gloomy and he shouted in a low voice: "Say, where can I buy the paper that has been corrected?"
Seeing Jian Chuan's expression of caution, Qiu Lanxi said in surprise: "What's wrong? These students gather in the city are sold in places where students gather. We have bought so many copies, but who knows where to buy them."
Jian Chuan said angrily: "Think carefully, think about it quickly."
"Oh, I remembered that it must have been bought by Sanyuan Inn." Ge Chunzhu said with a gaze, and then asked: "What's wrong? How many students were there when I bought it with us."
Jian Chuan said, "Go and find him immediately and ask clearly, how many copies he sold?"
"What the hell is wrong?"
Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu finally became nervous, and then heard Jian Chuan sigh and said, "You are confused, why don't you think about it? Once the court finds that someone has taken the right question, will you suspect fraud in the imperial examination? If those who have not taken the bet
If the candidates who asked the questions found out about this, will they question the injustice of the imperial examination? At that time, the court will definitely give an explanation."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu finally changed their color. Qiu Lanxi stammered and said, "I'm betting the right treasure, just have fun secretly, who will tell me about death?"
Jian Chuan looked at him with his eyes slanted and asked, "Are you sure?"
Of course, I cannot be sure, and I am afraid because I cannot be sure.
"So, did you deliberately burn the test paper?"
Jian Chuan nodded, and did not say anything more about it, but urged: "Find the person selling test questions as soon as possible. If possible, give him more money and let him go away. In the worst case, you must also ask him what he sells.
How much did you sell to someone, so you can know what you know."
He also reminded him: "As for me, don't worry, I have successfully removed myself. It's best not to have any trouble. It's great that I will come back in three years. If something happens, I have to leave myself out of the matter for the sake of dealing with it."
In this way, Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu left in a hurry. Jian Chuan sighed, but at this moment he could not do anything. He could only pray in his heart and hope that he would be safe. But there is a famous saying in his later generations, what are you most afraid of?
It will inevitably come.
Within two days, Qiu Lanxifu came here again and told Jian Chuan a very bad news, that was, the dealer actually sold dozens of test questions, and now there are rumors about this matter, and it is gradually
It is almost inevitable that this matter will be revealed when the date of the list is released.
Upon hearing this, Jian Chuan frowned and said to Qiu Lanxi: "Two things. First, you go to Sima Mentor, without saying much, just tell the truth, and do not hide it. The second thing,
Let Cha'er enter the palace today and inform the Queen Mother of this and let them be prepared early.”
Qiu Lanxi said: "Is it possible for me to wait for dozens of people to fail the exam?"
Jian Chuan shook his head. Jian Chuan thought about this method and could indeed do it, but it could not solve the problem. Because as long as the public opinion began to ferment, those who failed the exam would naturally think that all high school students bought the test questions, as long as this one
If things are true, then everyone will not be able to stop them. The voices of questioning the injustice of the imperial court will only increase and become louder, and the credibility of the court will be greatly reduced.
After briefly analyzing the joints for Qiu Lanxi, Qiu Lanxi said anxiously: "According to what you said, it would be useless to arrest all of us who bought the dozens of papers?"
Jian Chuan nodded but shook his head and said, "Catching all of you is also a way. In this way, the court showed its iron-blooded skills. Even if the students were unwilling to accept it, they would not dare to cause trouble again. But in this way
, Do you know what you are going to face? In order to show your iron-blooded skills, the court will punish you severely and severely. The lifelong ban on exams is probably clean, and exile is possible."
Qiu Lanxi knew that Jian Chuan was not exaggerating, but showed fear on his face, and eventually turned into a long sigh: "It's a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster. Fortunately, you noticed it in time and did not involve you."
Jian Chuan also sighed and said, "It's not too much. In fact, there are still solutions once and for all, it depends on whether they have the courage to do it."
"What's the solution?" Qiu Lanxi asked anxiously.
Jian Chuan wanted to speak but stopped and said cautiously: "Actually, I have given this method, and they will definitely understand it. As for whether to do it or not, I am not sure."
Qiu Lanxi was also very smart. After hearing Jian Chuan say this, he guessed Jian Chuan's secretive method after thinking for a moment. Then he looked at Jian Chuan with an incredible look and said in shock: "It's something that has never happened."
Jian Chuan sighed, "So, I'm not sure, but I still have to have a backhand. After you go out, tell Lao Huang, let him find Lu Haitang and sneak in to see me secretly."
"What? You want..."
"Silence."
"No, this is a disaster for raiding a family and extermination."
"Can you watch you die? Stop talking, go and do it quickly. I think about it again. Maybe there is another way out."
There is no other way out.
...
In front of Kunning Palace, Su Cha'er was waiting anxiously. He was stopped by the eunuch today when he could enter and exit the place where he used to be.
But I didn't know that in the palace, Empress Dowager Gao was listening to Pan Yuan's report with a gloomy expression. When she heard Pan Yuan's report that she had found two completely identical policies, she could no longer hold back her anger and slapped the memorial in her hand on the table.
He growled, "Have you found out clearly? What's going on?"
Pan Yuan lowered his head and said in panic: "Bizhi has secretly captured the seller and the questioner, and investigated their whereabouts in the past three months in detail. The conclusion was that it was indeed a coincidence."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao was even more angry: "There is no such coincidence in this world. The Ai family doesn't believe it. Continue to investigate it for the Ai family. You must find it out."
"yes."
After Pan Yuan retreated, the Empress Dowager was silent for a long time before calming down. Then she ordered Eunuch Li next to her: "Let her come in."
When Su Cha'er came in, Empress Dowager Gao's first words were: "You man, you are so shocked."
Rushi Su Chaer understood that her mother had already understood the overall situation, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
