Chapter 493 Major Fraud Case
Emperor Tianfeng's attitude made many people puzzled, what result did he want?
And as the matter was spread, shocking waves were set off among the candidates.

Someone said before that they would expose those who cheated, but everyone just took it as a joke. After several examiners were taken away, as soon as the news came out, everyone understood that this time the matter was really big.

Then at the court ceremony, the censor stood up and criticized the Ministry of Rites for its poor handling of affairs. In such an important talent promotion ceremony, there was such a serious loophole, which is simply unforgivable.

Later, there was another matter, and even the Ducha Yushi came out to criticize the matter. Only then did the officials in the court understand what forces were fighting behind it.

It is still the contention and strife between the new party and the old party, but this time the goals of both parties are placed on this spring.

Chen Xianyu, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, is secretly a member of the old party faction, but it is not so obvious.

This time he was one of the chief examiners, so he naturally knew the questions, and people from the old party thought of manipulating the imperial examinations to screen out the candidates they wanted.

Therefore, the rumor that someone is cheating is not groundless, but someone who really discovered this situation will add fuel to the flames.

And this person is none other than Gao Pan!

This is also due to the fact that the intelligence office has become more and more standardized. Gao Pan heard the news early on, so he informed Dong Pingzhang of the matter and gave his own suggestions.

People from the old party have no scruples, and that is the best time for their new party to sway. Gao Pan suggested that they should not rush to attack, wait until they are confirmed to be cheating, and then propose it, and naturally they can achieve their desired goals.

This is why Gao Pan gave Gao Qibai a 'shortcut', because he knew that someone cheated in Chunwei this time, and as long as he did it properly, Gao Qibai would be admitted by the old party as his own. In fact, Gao Qibai was not what they wanted at all. people.

As long as the incident happened, not only would Gao Qibai not be punished, because he had not received any reminder at all, and no one would suspect him.

On the contrary, because of this incident, he will become a "default" Jinshi.

Gao Pan's plan was not shrewd. As the case surfaced, more and more candidates came forward.

Without exception, all these candidates had visited Chen Xianyu, Minister of Rites, and one of them was Guan Shizhao who Gao Pan expected!
Gao Pan had known for a long time that Guan Shizhao was dissatisfied, and now that he was in the ascendant, he had met Lord Shang Shu and princes like Liang Wang.

Guan Shizhao urgently needs something that can prove his ability, and it is naturally the best thing to be named on the gold list in Chunwei.

This time he doesn't intend to rely on his own strength, but wants to be on the list steadily. Only in this way can his 'value' be enhanced!
It just so happened that some people in the old party wanted to take this opportunity of Chunwei to recruit some people they wanted. After all, more than 200 officials entered the venue at a time of Chunwei.

As long as these new scholars can be controlled to become members of the old party, then the new party will not have so many fresh blood to join.

And if there is one, there will be two. This time it succeeded, and it can still be the same next time. For the people of the old party, this is undoubtedly a very good method.

The most important thing is that they want to cheat, so they can be 'seamless' and will not be easily discovered.

It's just that they never expected that Gao Pan had cultivated an intelligence agency, and Gao Pan had seen through the behavior of the old party long ago.

After the incident happened, it was a matter of course, and they couldn't quibble at all.

At the end of February, because the fraud detected was only a marked test paper, there was no need to retake the test.

It is enough to eliminate those candidates with solid evidence, and the rest will be advanced one by one according to the previous ranking.

In this way, Gao Qibai, who was already in his thirties and almost 40 years old, was finally in the top [-] in the high school examination list in Chunwei this year. In the next palace examination, he had the opportunity to hit the top three, that is, the status of Jinshi and rank.

The Gao family threw a big banquet for this, and invited relatives and friends around to come to celebrate. Even Mrs. Gao seemed particularly happy and radiant.

After all, this is the Gao family's first high school Jinshi, a person who came out of a serious course, and his official career will naturally be much better than that of Gao Pan.

Some people are happy, but others are worried. Lou Hui thinks that this time, if he doesn't say he won the first prize, the second place, or the third prize, he can at least be a high school Jinshi.

After all, he is Ying Tianfu's Xie Yuan, so he can win no matter what.

But because he had a drink with Guan Shizhao, he was included in the ranks of cheaters. Not only was the exam all invalidated, after that, no more imperial exams were allowed.

For Lou Hui, this result was like a bolt from the blue, and the whole person seemed to lose his soul.

Sitting blankly in the west courtyard of Gao's house, not eating or drinking, both Mrs. Du and Gao Ruoning were worried.

Seeing that Lou Hui couldn't cheer up no matter how much she tried to persuade her, Mrs. Du cried and invited Mrs. Gao and others to persuade her.

This made Lou Hui sober up a bit, and after he woke up, he remembered that Gao Pan reminded him not to get too close to Guan Shizhao, but he didn't listen, but now he suffered a terrible result.

Lou Hui, who felt ashamed to face others, took Gao Ruoning back to Jiangnan in a hurry the day after the exam list came out.

Before leaving, Lou Hui realized that he was blind and didn't know the danger. He wanted to see Gao Pan, but he didn't have the face to do so. In the end, he didn't see him, so he took Gao Ruoning and left Gao's house.

After Gao Pan heard the news, he didn't take it seriously. He had reminded him a long time ago, but Lou Hui wanted to lean on Guan Shizhao by himself, so there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, Gao Pan's succession of happy events made Gao Pan completely forget about this trivial matter.

One day at the end of February, Gao Ruoqian got married, and Gao Pan, as the head of the fifth room, naturally had to come forward to support the situation.

The Gao family also became beaming again, with a very prosperous appearance, which attracted the attention of many people.

At the beginning of March, Gao Qiyin and his son and Gao Guangcheng finally came back, and the Gao family became extremely lively again.

With Gao Guanglu's return home, his marriage was also put on the agenda, and finally the wedding day was set on March [-]th.

During Gao Pan's period of time, he also spent the time lying in harmony with his brothers, with a happy face and a complacent atmosphere.

And Deng Wenshan and Xie Yujun also waited for the appointment documents from the Ministry of Officials. Deng Wenshan finally became the magistrate of Dantang County, and Xie Yujun became the magistrate of Shangning Mansion. Both of them were promoted one after another. I have to be a little envious.

At the beginning of March, Gao Pan sent the two of them away outside the city. Xie Yujun had just got married, but he had to go to other places to be an official. Gao Pan only felt sorry for Gao Ruoqian.
