The strongest Marquis in history

Wang Qi's eyes fell on Zhou Guan, he smiled coldly, and said, "Zhou Guan, is it really an exam?"

Zhou Guan's heart skipped a beat.

A bad premonition arose in his heart, because what happened at the moment was completely out of his control.It's just that Zhou Guan is at the moment, and he can't plead guilty to arresting Duanmubai.

Zhou Guan knocked his head on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the minister who arranged for someone to take the exam, please forgive me. This Duanmubai is from the minister's family, so I arranged for him to take the exam."

Wang Qi said lightly: "Since it's a proxy test, why don't you write Wufu's name, it's easier and simpler, and you don't need to forge anything. Now that you write Duanmu Bai's name, then Wufu will have to remain anonymous for the rest of your life, and you can only become Duanmu. Bai. If Duanmu Bai is asked to write the name of last Friday's blessing, there will be no omissions."

Zhou Guan was even more nervous. He hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I was worried about making too much publicity, and even being found out about Wufu's situation, so I wrote Duanmubai's name. After all, no one knows Duanmubai's name."

Wang Qi said: "Why is there no one to let me know, I just know it!"

brush!

Zhou Guan's complexion changed again.

Wang Qi actually knew Duanmu Bai?

At this moment, Zhou Guan understood the reason.

Because Wang Qi knew Duanmubai, he asked Wu Wufu to pretend to be Duanmubai, and he was immediately cheated.Zhou Guan knelt on the ground with a terrified expression on his face, and there were bead-sized beads of sweat on his forehead, which continued to flow out.

Even though the weather is cold today, at the moment, Zhou Guan's back is in a cold sweat, and he is already panicking.

Wang Qi continued: "I also know that in the small forest far away from the military camp, people from your Zhou family coerced Duanmubai to leave by himself, so that Wu Fu could replace him. But Duanmubai was unwilling and did not cooperate, so he sent Duanmubai was arrested, and then controlled in the mountain. It is said that he will deal with Duanmubai after the wind has passed, and also deal with Duanmubai's younger brother."

boom! !

Zhou Guan's mind exploded.

Finished!

Wang Qi knew all the situation, and there was no chance to hide it.

This situation is too bad.

Zhou Guandao: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty. It was planned and arranged by him alone. The minister is willing to accept the crime. My son Wu Fu is innocent. He was arranged by me."

He never had any luck again.

Everything has been discovered, and what needs to be concealed cannot be concealed at all.

The ministers in the court are all human beings.

Everyone understood what Wang Qi said.Zhou Guan didn't arrange for someone to take the exam, but because he knew about his grades, he wanted to replace him, and even arrested him for the purpose of murdering him.

This is extremely bad behavior.

All the officials in the court looked at each other and shook their heads.Zhou Guan's approach was simply daring. For the sake of his son's future, he even thought that this was the first scientific examination and there were many loopholes, so he took the risk, it was really daring.

This is trampling on the law of the country.

Wang Qi slapped the table with a slap, staring sharply at Zhou Guan in front of him, and said coldly: "Getting a scholar is the most important thing in my country of Qi, and you dare to take risks. Of course you, damn it, change thousands of dollars." Cut to pieces."

In a word, the whole court was shocked.

Everyone was more afraid, and Wang Qi's words were already extremely severe.

"Your Majesty, I have the original performance!"

At this time, Zhu Shanchang stood up.

Wang Qi said: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "I think that Zhou Guan deserves to die, and Wu Fu is also a person who participated, so he should be punished. Even Zhou's family should be dealt with. This is to kill chickens and monkeys. We must let the officials in the court know that this is a red line that must not be trampled on." of."

"However, this time the imperial examination is the first time in the world, so I suggest that this matter does not need to be announced to the outside world, it only needs to be dealt with internally. If it is spread out, the impact will be too great."

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

At this time, Mi Huang stood up again.

He also had an expression of approval. After all, the imperial court is now trying so hard to gather people's hearts and make everyone in the world stand by Wang Qi's side. Once the incident of Zhou Guan's kidnapping of Duanmu Bai broke out, the people's impression of the officials would plummet.

This has huge implications.

"Your Majesty, I object to this!"

Lin Yuanchong stood up. Although he was old, he was full of confidence and his voice was thick.

Lin Yuanchong said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is no impermeable wall for this matter, and it is easy to expose the news. Therefore, I suggest that you must be punished severely, otherwise how will you explain to the people of the world?"

"The minister also agrees!"

But Longying stood up.

The Supervision Department he is in charge of is now a little free, but there are still many things to do.After all, it is not a simple matter to monitor officials all over the world.

Because of Long Ying's successive disposals, the officials of Qi State were extremely afraid of Long Ying.

This is the natural advantage of the Lord of the Dragon Eagle Supervision Department.

Long Ying looked sharp, and said: "Your Majesty, if this matter is not dealt with, after the news spreads, all the efforts of our supervisory department in these years will be wiped out. I implore your majesty to take it seriously, otherwise, it will be difficult to give an explanation to the people of the world. .”

Zhou Guan was already extremely regretful in his heart, and he arranged the matter with a fluke in his heart.Originally, he wanted to plan a great future for his son.

Unexpectedly, it eventually led to the current situation.

Zhou Guan shouted: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, please give me death. It's just that all of this was arranged by me, and my son followed my arrangement. Please forgive me for the sake of my little merit in the past. My son is dead. Veteran, I am willing to suffer any punishment."

"To shut up!"

Wang Qi looked sharp, and scolded: "You still have the nerve to say, you deserve to die."

"Cui Dongshan!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

"Chen is here!"

Cui Dongshan replied immediately.

Wang Qidao: "Immediately put Zhou Guan and Wu Fu in prison. At noon tomorrow, they will be punished outside the city and beheaded directly. The whole family of Zhou's family will be exiled to Lingnan. All the money of Zhou's family will be confiscated."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Cui Dongshan agreed.

He is satisfied with Wang Qi's handling. It is difficult to explain to the common people if such a serious matter is involved.In fact, it was Wang Qi's kindness that no one from the Zhou family was executed.

Wang Qi ordered: "Xiahouhu!"

"Chen is here!"

Xia Houhu entered in armor.

He is now the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, so he is naturally wearing armor at all times.

Wang Qi ordered: "You lead people immediately and seal the Zhou family. Then, go outside the city to rescue Duanmu Bai, and then send him to the palace immediately."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xia Houhu also answered immediately.

He turned and left.

After the soldiers dragged Zhou Guan and Wu Fu down, Wang Qi's eyes fell on Zhou Zishan, and he said, "Zhou Zishan, although this is the first imperial examination, and although it is justifiable, this happened. You cannot escape guilt."

Zhou Zishan still knelt on the ground and said: "I am willing to be punished."

When he thought of such a big mistake due to his own negligence, he felt guilty in his heart.If Wang Qi hadn't discovered it, then not only would the court have missed a talent, but it would have missed a fresh life, and it would have died at the hands of the Zhou family.

Wang Qi said: "I will punish you with three months' salary, reflect on your own mistakes."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhou Zishan kowtowed again to thank him.

He knew very well that Wang Qi's punishment, which seemed to be a punishment, was actually a love for him.When such a situation happened, it was only a three-month salary penalty, which was the same as not leaving.

Wang Qi waved his hand, and Zhou Zishan stood up. Wang Qi said: "This time, I have to think about the shortcomings. Then, I will think about other things."

Zhou Zishan bowed down again.

Only then did Wang Qi withdraw his gaze, and looked at Xu Mingwei and Qian Song. He also had a good impression of them.Wang Qi also briefly read the test papers of the two of them.

Chapter 796 The Rules

Wang Qidao: "Xu Mingwei, where are you from?"

Xu Ming said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is from Jizhou and Weijun."

Wang Qi said: "How many people are there in the family?"

Xu Ming said: "There are only Caomin and his son in the family. The family members were slaughtered when the Huns invaded Jizhou. I took my son out to play and escaped the disaster."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "You are very good, work hard in the future."

Xu Ming said that he bowed down to answer.

Wang Qi learned about Qian Song and all the other scholars one by one.He inquired one by one, unaware of the passage of time, and after everyone inquired, Wang Qi had a clear understanding of everyone's situation.

Outside the hall, there was a sound of footsteps.

Xiahouhu had brought Duanmubai in, and Duanmubai had been detained in the forest outside the city, quite embarrassed.Even these two days, he didn't even eat any food, and he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

Fortunately, when Xia Houhu came with Duanmubai, he simply asked Duanmubai to tidy up and eat some food, so that he would not look more embarrassed.

Duanmubai entered the hall, and when he saw Wang Qi, his eyes widened.

Isn't this the examiner who watched his exam that day?

Unexpectedly, it was His Majesty the Emperor.

In Duanmubai's heart, he was even more grateful to Wang Qi.Because of Wang Qi's brilliance and martial arts, he is what he is now.If it wasn't for Wang Qi's discernment, he would definitely be dead.

After standing still, Duanmubai knelt down like a jade pillar pushed upside down on a golden mountain, and shouted: "Caomin Duanmubai, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Wang Qi said: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Duanmubai stood up and thanked him respectfully.

Wang Qi said: "These two days, you have suffered."

Duanmu Bai said: "The grass people are not bitter, if His Majesty personally takes down those who harm the grass people, the grass people are not bitter."

Wang Qi looked soft, and said slowly: "You, Duanmubai, are at the top of the list, the No.1 person. You and all the other 30 people are the talents selected by this scientific examination."

"This time you are all very good. As I said before, you will be placed by the court. So all of you will be released as officials according to your own ranking."

"The people among you, the biggest officials, will serve as county magistrates at the local level and preside over the government affairs of a locality. Those who rank lower will serve as the county magistrates at the local level, and will be responsible for assisting the county magistrate in handling government affairs."

Wang Qi said: "Everyone, put them outside."

Whoa! !

In the main hall, there was a discussion.

The scholar was a little surprised, but no one dared to speak on this occasion.

There was a lot of discussion among the officials. Talents selected by the imperial examination were crucial. In the eyes of all officials, they should be the ones who ranked first. They wanted to enter the court as officials and hold important positions in the court.

Even a person like Duanmubai should have made steady progress in the imperial court and made his way straight up.

Now he has to be released as an official, and it is only the magistrate of a county, which surprised everyone.

Even more incredible.

Wang Qi looked as usual, without the slightest bit of surprise, he let all the officials discuss, after a long while, all the officials fell silent, and all eyes fell on Wang Qi again.

Wang Qicai said slowly: "As for the talents selected by the imperial examination, the first step is to release them as officials, and I have carefully considered the matter of sending them to local officials."

"Officials in the imperial court, if they have never experienced local governance and have no concept of local governance, how can they talk about governing the entire Daqi State?"

"If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world!"

"If even one county can't be governed well, how can we talk about governing a larger area. Therefore, in the future, when opening a course to recruit scholars, the selected talents must be sent out as officials to serve in local areas."

"Then, move up step by step."
