In front of the white jade steps of the hall, Li Gang read the admission statement of the martial arts aloud.
"This martial arts ceremony adheres to the will of the holy, and has admitted a total of 500 military generals and talents through open and fair examinations. It is divided into two lists, including 300 people in the list A and 200 people in the list B."
Li Gang spoke in a hoarse tone and long content. He heard the civil and military officials in the court drowsy. Even Yang Guang didn't listen. He slowly unfolded the admission list he had just handed over, and looked at the names with cold eyes.
He was not interested in List A, his eyes fell on List B, with only one name, and the latter marked them that they were outstanding in riding and skillful in weapons. As for whether it was true or not, he could not verify.
But Yang Guang had already installed an evidence, and gradually, his eyes became sharp. He saw that "Sui Guangyang" ranked eighth. This was a name he made up casually, that is, himself, Guangyang,
It is the homonym of his name, and the surname of the Sui Dynasty was added, and he was actually admitted as the eighth place. Yang Guang couldn't help but burst into murderous intent in his heart.
At this time, Li Gang finished reading and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this martial arts ceremony is completely in line with the rules. The examiners are diligent and meticulous. Five hundred outstanding people have been admitted. Please approve the results."
Yuwen Shu was also a little nervous. He didn't expect that this matter was actually taken to the court meeting and said that there were a little more variables. For example, Yang Yuanqing just said that he had cheated in front of King Yong, but based on his decades of hard work.
He knew that even if everyone knew in their hearts, no one would say it. This matter involved many powerful families. Without evidence, no one would easily offend people.
He saw that the emperor had already picked up the pen and was about to approve it. He was so happy that he immediately put down the imperial pen. Yang Guang glanced at the ministers and said with a smile: "I cannot be too arbitrary. It's time to ask everyone's opinions, dear friends, all of you
, have different opinions on the martial arts!”
"Your Majesty, I have different opinions!"
Everyone looked out of the hall with their eyes, and saw a man standing in the queue of judges, holding his hands high and walking out quickly.
A sudden discussion sounded in the hall. It was actually an audience officer who raised objections. He was a very young official. Judging from his movements and postures, he should be a soldier. This was surprising. People like Pei Ju, Changsun Sheng and others recognized Yang Yuanqing.
His heart was hanging. How could Yuan Qing go to court? And he actually raised his head for martial arts, which is easy to offend people!
Yang Xuangan stood in the third row. His martial arts skills were also good, his eyes were sharp, and his heart sank at first glance. What's going on? Yuan Qing actually wanted to raise his head for martial arts? Yang Xuangan also guessed that martial arts was
There must be tricks in it, but this is the unspoken rule of the officialdom, everyone knows it. But no one will say it because it is difficult to have evidence. If you offend others, you will also humiliate yourself. The so-called deliberation means turning a blind eye to it.
If you close your eyes and go over, it is not a big deal like a scholar or an imperial examination.
However, Yang Xuangan did not expect that his son would come out to report, which made him feel extremely nervous. His face turned pale and sweat had already come out on his forehead.
Yuwen Shu's pupils shrank violently and he stared at Yang Yuanqing fiercely. He didn't expect that this person really dared to stand up. A small general from the border town dared to offend important officials in the court. He was really tired of living.
A hint of undetectable praise flashed in Yang Guang's eyes. It was not because Yang Yuanqing came forward to report the matter. It was because he did not ask Yuanqing to report it in advance, but Yuanqing thought of it, which showed that Yuanqing knew him very well.
Thoughts, knowing that I want to make a fuss about this.
This made Yang Guang feel a sense of joy of cooperation and tacit understanding. Neither of the parties said it, but they understood each other. Yang Guang quickly glanced at Yang Su's position and found that Yang Su had not gone to court. He changed his mind, was this Yang?
Su's arrangement, but in just a moment, he knew it was not. Yang Su would not have such deliberate traces. If it were his arrangement, he would go to court to show that it had nothing to do with him and this matter. This should be Yuan Qing.
Your own arrangement.
"General Yang, what are your differences?"
Yang Yuanqing raised a memorial high, "I impeached the General of the Right Martial Guard, Yu Wen Shu, to carry out the military exercises, and to commit fraud!"
As soon as Yang Yuanqing said this, the court was in an uproar, and the voices of discussion resounded throughout the hall. No one expected that Yang Yuanqing would point the finger directly at Yuwen Shu. The inner historian standing in the front row, Yang Yue shook his head gently, this is what the elder brother likes.
Is the Yang family a good talent? It is a great blessing for the Yang family to be reckless, ignorant, to destroy him and expel him from the Yang family, otherwise this person would kill the Yang family.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is not convinced!"
Yuwen Shu shouted loudly and squeezed out of the squad. He was so angry that he trembled all over, his face seemed to be burning, and his fists were clattering, and he wanted to kill Yang Yuanqing with one punch.
He pointed at Yang Yuanqing and shouted: "You are slandering, I'm not finished with you today!"
An instinctive man had already taken Yang Yuanqing's impeachment memorial and handed it to Yang Guang, but Yang Guang didn't look at it and asked Yang Yuanqing with a smile, "General Yang, why do you say that General Yuwen is a martial arts master?"
Yang Yuanqing ignored Yuwen Shu and said loudly: "Yuwen Shu cao, the 200 people admitted to the B list, at least 100 of them were decided by him. He each received bribes of 1,000 to 2,000 bribes, so that the B list
The admission was unfair, and he ruined the martial arts exercise."
Yuwen Shu was extremely angry and pointed at Yang Yuanqing and shouted, "Yang Yuanqing, you said I was taking bribes, and you were chasing martial arts. What evidence do you have?"
"I saw your son Yuwen Zhihe accept bribes in the restaurant, and many children from aristocratic families who participated in the martial arts ceremony bribes him!"
Yuwen Shu laughed furiously and pointed at Yang Yuanqing to Yang Guang and the civil and military officials of the court: "Your Majesty, all ministers and colleagues, listen, this is his evidence. When he saw my son collecting money, he said ** to the martial arts.
What evidence does he have to say that my son collects money? If he takes ten thousand steps back, is it related to martial arts? He lends money to others and returns it to him, so what do you say?"
There was a burst of laughter in the court. This Yang Yuanqing was just a brave man. He was too naive in the officialdom. He actually came to report when he saw Yu Wen Zhi and collected money. Is this also called evidence?
The General of Zuo Xiaogu Guard also shook his head slightly. He thought that Yang Yuanqing was very powerful and could make He Ruobi die and severely damage the Dugu family and the Yuan family. He did not expect that he was so unbearable, but he did not expect that Yuwen Shu had installed one.
More than a hundred people. This is too much, and he has only arranged twelve favors himself.
Only Pei Ju had a solemn expression and no ridicule on his face. He knew Yang Yuanqing. He would never be so naive. He was trying to capture the pretext of being weak, deliberately showing weakness, and gradually leading Yuwen Shu to take the bait.
Yang Guang asked again without saying a word: "General Yang, do you have any other evidence?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Your Majesty. I have a clan brother. He took the B List exam and bribed Yuwen Zhiji for 2,000 yuan. His riding she was not good, but he scored nine points. He knew that he was not doing well, so he
Withdraw from the Martial Arts. Your Majesty can ask him to testify. He is now outside the Suzaku Gate and his name is Yang Wei."
Yang Yue was stunned. Why did Jishan's son get along with Yang Yuanqing? He was very unhappy.
Yang Guang nodded, "The successor witnessed Yang Wei!"
"His Majesty!"
Yuwen Shu refuted again, "He is Yang Yuanqing's clan brother, how can he testify? He can completely help Yang Yuanqing to make perjury, Your Majesty. This is unacceptable."
Yang Guang waved his hand, "General Yuwen, don't worry, wait for someone to come."
Yuwen Shu gritted her teeth with hatred. She felt extremely depressed. The emperor didn't help him at all. Did he really doubt that he had accepted bribes? He also felt a little uneasy.
Pei Ju was shocked. He had already seen a clue. Yuwen Shu was the in-laws of the emperor. Yang Yuanqing said that these unreliable evidences would give the in-laws a face. Abort this matter, let alone Yuwen
Shu is still an important official, and the emperor should have spoken for him, but now the emperor seems to be helping Yang Yuanqing argue. Has the emperor already known about it?
After a moment, Yang Wei was led into the hall by the guards. He was only a commoner. He was not allowed to enter the hall in white, so he was not qualified to enter the hall, so the guards gave him another seventh-grade official uniform.
Yang Wei was very nervous and knelt down in the hall, "Little Minor Yang Wei met His Majesty the Emperor."
"You are also the grandson of Yang Taipu!"
Yang Guang smiled and asked, "Have you participated in this martial arts competition?"
"Yes, Xiaomin participated in the martial arts competition, but withdrew halfway."
"Why are you quitting?"
"Because Xiaomin rides a poor she, I found Yuwen Zhiji's relationship and hopes that he can help. He asked Xiaomin for two thousand yuan to hang money, but Xiaomin only had four points, but was mentioned nine points. Xiaomin's heart
I was afraid, so I quit."
Yuwen Shu was anxious and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to what the old minister said. The old minister may also say that he is humble and then gets nine points in the bribe. The old minister can also act very humble. Your Majesty believes
Don't believe it?"
At this time, Yang Guang's patience was gradually gone. He ignored Yuwen Shu and asked Li Gang, "Li Shilang, how many points did Yang Wei get?"
Li Gang shook his head, "I don't know how to take the exam, but I can ask the doctor He Qing, who is the direct chief examiner of the B list."
"You are the chief examiner, but you don't know, but you told me that the martial arts practices are completely in line with the rules."
Yang Guang sneered and immediately shouted: "Where is the doctor He Xu?"
He Qing was in the hall. When he saw Yang Wei appear, he became frightened. Yang Wei withdrew halfway through, his name had been erased and changed to Sui Guangyang. What did he say?
He walked out of the line tremblingly and bowed, "I don't know about this matter if I ask the specific examiner!"
'Bang!' Yang Guang slapped the case heavily and shouted angrily: "One is the chief examiner and the other is the deputy chief examiner. I don't know anything. Then come the examination list, I will see it myself."
He Hutui knelt down on the ground with a soft heart. He didn't dare to hide it anymore and whispered: "Report to Your Majesty, Yang Wei has abandoned the exam, and his name and grades are no longer in the roster."
"Dr. He, no!"
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "There are 2,083 candidates in total. As far as I know, in addition to Yang Wei, there are two other two who have also abandoned the exam. Deng Di from Youzhou and Zhao Yi from Xiangzhou, that should be 2,000.
There are 080 candidates, but your last roster is 2,081 candidates, one more person, who is the one more person?"
There was a lot of silence in the hall, and everyone gradually realized that Yang Yuanqing was not really naive. He was prepared and led to fraud in the Ministry of War step by step. Many people realized that the fraud in the Ministry of War may be defeated this time.
He Qing couldn't answer, and his extreme fear made his mind blank. He didn't know how to answer. Yu Wen Shu next to him became anxious and reminded him: "Doctor He, is there no special situation?"
Yang Yuanqing also smiled and said, "Yes! Special circumstances, such as if this person didn't come, but you arranged the exam for him in advance. Isn't it just one more person?"
There was an uproar in the hall again. At this time, everyone knew that the Ministry of War was caught and someone did not come, but passed the exam for him.
Yuwen Shu was like stepping on the air, he was stunned, and he felt extremely bad in his heart. Could it be that Sui Guangyang
Yang Yuanqing stared at him and his eyes became sharp, "General Yuwen, what happened to Sui Guangyang, you won't know!"
Yang Yuanqing whispered to Yang Guang again: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Shu is corrupt and abused the law. A candidate named Sui Guangyang did not come at all. However, Yuwen Shu accepted five hundred taels of gold from the other party and arranged a fake exam for Sui Guangyang, and finally passed the exam.
The eighth place, Your Majesty, this person is iron evidence.”
The discussion in the hall was about to boil, and it was getting more and more colorful. Yuwen Shu's old eyes were quick to see, some were happy, some were worried, and more people were looking at Yang Yuanqing with admiration. This person went from showing weakness to being tough, and forced Yuwen Shu step by step
Arrived at the corner.
Yuwen Shu shouted, "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know anything about Sui Guangyang. Yang Yuanqing is slandering me. Your Majesty is making the decision for the old minister!"
Yang Guang sighed secretly. In order to establish his authority in the imperial examination in the future, Yuwen Shu must be used as a sacrifice for him. He took a note from the imperial case and handed it to the eunuch, "Give this to Yuwen."
General, take a look.”
The eunuch took the hand to Yuwen Shu. Yuwen Shu glanced at him. He was shocked and collapsed to the ground. He turned over and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "The old minister knows his crime! The old minister knows his crime! This Sui Guangyang is indeed arranged by the old minister.
I am willing to accept all punishment from Your Majesty!”
A dramatic change caused a sensation among the civil and military officials in the court. What did the emperor see for Yuwen Shu? Yuwen Shu, who had just swear to refuse to admit it, immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty. The court officials behind him rushed forward one after another, trying to see the note clearly
Content on.
At this time, almost all the civil and military officials in the court understood one thing. Yang Yuanqing impeached Yuwen Shu, and the emperor knew about it in advance.
At this moment, a guard reported at the entrance of the hall, "Your Majesty, there are more than a thousand martial arts candidates sitting quietly outside the Suzaku Gate to petition."
"Why is it a petition?" Yang Guang said angrily.
"Report to Your Majesty, they reported that the Yuwen family had accepted bribes, and were willing to practice martial arts, asking Your Majesty to severely punish fraudsters and give warriors all over the world a fair explanation."
More than a thousand candidates petitioned like a scoop of oil poured from the fire, igniting Yang Guang's anger. He slapped the imperial case and shouted angrily: "Transfer my will to remove the post of Li Gang, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, He Xu, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple will form the Grand Third Department to conduct a meeting to conduct a strict review of the cheating cases of martial arts. I will not forgive anyone who participates in the cheating of martial arts."
Yang Guang looked at Yuwen Shu again and said coldly: "General Yuwen, you disappointed me so much. Sui Guangyang, can't you think of who it is? How can you trust you in the future if you ask me to?"
Yuwen Shu's face turned pale, and he suddenly understood that Sui Guangyang was Sui Yangguang, and he was fooled. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Cao was about to be elected officials in two months, which made him so shocked that he sat on the ground.
, He has no chance.
"Transfer my will to remove Yuwen Shu from his post as the General of the Right Martial Guard."
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction to Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing was extremely courageous, outstanding in this matter, and good at understanding the will of the saints, which made him look at him with admiration.
