Chapter 54: Modify the imperial examination
Chapter 54 Amending the Imperial Examinations
Jun Li raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, Mr. Yang, it really is the right time to come!
When Mr. Li and his group heard that voice, they were completely astonished, as if they didn't expect to say Cao Cao Cao Cao.
Especially Mrs. Li, the whole person is already stupid. He originally wanted to pull Yang Qing down, but he didn't expect Yang Qing to come before she could make a move.
Prime Minister Meng and Lord Ye and a group of people, on the other hand, looked at the astonishment of Lord Li and the others, but surprise loomed in their eyes.
Didn't pay attention to the various gazes in the main hall, but came to the center of the main hall, lifted the court clothes, and knelt down in front of Jun Li, "Your Majesty, Yang Qing, long live, long live, long live!"
"Ai Qing doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Jun Li stood up from the dragon chair, and helped Yang Qingxu.
She has been waiting for her for a long time. The Zhangbu case must be overturned today. As for the revision of the imperial examination, it is imperative. These two things cannot be done without her, Master Yang!
Jun Li's actions are just pure joy, but in the eyes of other people, it has another meaning.
Minister A: It seems that His Majesty values Lord Yang very much. I can't fight against her in the future, and offend her. It seems that I have to find a chance to please Lord Yang.
Minister B: Next time we can’t stand on the side of Master Li and the others. It’s not bad to stand in line with Master Yang.
Minister C: His Majesty attaches great importance to Lord Yang, and he will not be able to help Lord Li next time.
Minister Ding: Follow Mr. Yang and have meat to eat.
…
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Not knowing what everyone was thinking, Yang Qing went straight to salute, stood up, nodded slightly to Junli, and then cupped his hands.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something important to announce."
Jun Li raised his hand, "Quick!"
Lord Yang glanced sharply at the group of Lord Li and the others in the hall, until he looked at them until they were all hairy, and then said, "Your Majesty, the investigation of the corruption case of Zhangbu, the prefect of Yuezhou, has come to light."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar, but in only two days, Master Yang had already found out the case. The speed of Master Yang's handling of the case is really getting more and more terrifying. It seems that this person must not be offended in the future.
Everyone present, except Junli and Prime Minister Meng, of course didn't know that it was because Junli had handed over all the evidence of Zhang Bu's case to Yang Qing, so the investigation was done so quickly.
"Oh, say!"
"Yes." Yang Qing cupped his hands, and took out a few envelopes from his sleeves, "This is a correspondence between General Wei and Governor Li Luo of Yuezhou."
As soon as these words came out, the whole court erupted instantly. The correspondence between an official in the court and an official in Yuezhou has more meanings, especially in Yuezhou, which is more sensitive now.
Thinking that the two people mentioned by Mr. Yang are inextricably related to someone in the court, everyone's eyes can't help but become complicated.
Among these two people, one is Master Li's younger sister, and the other often goes out to drink flower wine with Master Li. If it is said that Zhang Bu's case was really done by these two people, and if it has nothing to do with Mr. Li, they would not believe it even if they were killed.
Presented the letter in his hand to the attendant at the side, and the attendant presented it to Junli. Junli glanced at it lightly, with an angry expression on his face, which made some ministers below uneasy.
Waved his hand, let the attendants pass these letters to the ministers below to read them in turn, but after a while, nearly half of the people in the court were sweating and looked panicked.
Several old ministers in the court, the mainstay, couldn't help being furious after reading these letters, and said to Master Li angrily, "Master Li, I don't know how you explain this?"
"Master Li, if you don't tell the reason today, don't blame me for arresting you for corruption."
"Master Li, I hope you will recruit truthfully, otherwise all kinds of punishments in the prison will be waiting for you!"
…
Facing the questioning of nearly half of the people in the court, Lord Li couldn't help but panic, and shouted, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I don't know what your lords are talking about!"
In Master Li's view, the only way to survive is to grit his teeth and refuse to admit it.
"Hmph, if you don't know, let's see what this is!" A veteran of the Three Dynasties threw the letter in Master Li's face fiercely, trembling with anger.
Being thrown on the face by a stack of envelopes, Mrs. Li's face trembled, only feeling that the whole face was in pain, but at this moment, she no longer cared about the pain on her face, and tremblingly picked up the envelope that fell on the ground. The envelopes were slowly opened.
Just looking at one, Master Li turned pale, and the letter in his hand slipped instantly, falling to the ground in the hall.
"Hmph, Master Li, I don't know what else you want to say?" Master Wang said angrily, the moths of the court, the whole court became so corrupt because of them!
Master Li lowered his head and closed his eyes, but within a few breaths, he opened them again, but there was a trace of sternness, coldness and guilt in those eyes.
"Your Majesty, these are all in collusion between the governor of Yuezhou and General Wei. I don't know about it. I am innocent. I hope your Majesty will find out." Master Li kowtowed fiercely at Junli as he spoke.
All the people in the palace looked at Master Li with contempt. For their own safety, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their own sister, and even drew a clear line with her. This can't help but make the ministers who stood with Mr. Li feel cold.
Even my own sister can be abandoned and used at any time, let alone those who have no blood relationship with them. I am afraid that whenever something happens to them in the future, they will be the first to be pulled out to take the place of the dead ghost!
Thinking of this, all the ministers were chilled, and they secretly made up their minds that they must draw a clear line with Mr. Li!
"Oh, it doesn't matter?" Jun Li chuckled, but there was something mysterious and unpredictable in that smile.
Before Master Li could speak, Junli said, "If that's the case, put Li Luo, governor of Yuezhou, and General Wei into prison, and behead them in three days!"
"As for Mr. Li, since he was wronged, he should be fined half a year's salary."
When those words came out, everyone was astonished, as if he didn't expect Junli to let Master Li off so easily. After all, anyone with eyes can tell that this matter is definitely related to Master Li!
Master Li was full of surprise, and kowtowed to Jun Lilian a few times, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being able to see clearly, and to return my innocence."
There is so much flattering in these words that the people in the hall couldn't help curling their lips.
"Since it's all right, then the emperor will announce something today."
Hearing this, the ministers were all at a loss, but Prime Minister Meng and Lord Yang showed joy.
Junli winked at Eunuch Duan behind him, Eunuch Duan nodded, took two steps forward, and said loudly,
"From this year onwards, no matter whether you are a poor person, a rich businessman, or the son of aristocrat, you can take part in the scientific examination. As long as you pass the examination with real skills, regardless of your status, you can enter the court as an official. Even if the one who passed the examination is just a beggar, As long as you are talented, you can be an official in the court. In addition, from now on, the hereditary throne and official position succession will be cancelled. Be a commoner!"
When the words of this weight level came out, there was an uproar!
