I'm really not the carpenter emperor

It seems that this matter was considered simple before, but now that Jin Yiwei has been informed, Xu Xianchun is eyeing him fiercely, it is too late for him to ride a tiger!

Chapter 4 and Seven

Just as he was thinking about advancing and retreating, a woman's voice came from behind him.

"My boss has arrived, why don't you go in?"

Huang Huatang was startled into a cold sweat, turned around quickly, too timid to look at each other, bowed and bowed and said, "Forgive me, Ma'am, I suddenly remembered about the chamber of commerce, this... just lost my mind for a while."

"It's already here?"

At this time, the door of the room opened with a 'squeak', and Li Zhiling's words came into my ears: "Fen'er was originally a prostitute in the capital. She was redeemed by my uncle as a concubine, and she has been with her for more than two years."

Li Yuanjian, a famous scholar in Donglin, actually has such romantic and elegant things.

After this time, Huang Huatang could see clearly the true face of these so-called celebrities Qingliu, so he stood up, resisting the chill in his heart, and hurriedly said to Fen'er:

"Disrespect, disrespect..."

The woman named Fen'er also bowed slightly, smiled politely at Huang Huatang, then handed a basket of freshly washed fruits to the Gongsheng students in the room, and walked away with graceful steps.

Li Zhiling saw that he was still unwilling to enter the door, so he smiled softly and said threateningly: "Could it be that this is a step in the door, Huang Dong's family is afraid? Don't forget, if you enter this door, you will be found sooner or later." superior."

Seeing that Huang Huatang was silent, Li Zhiling immediately laughed and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, I've been planning for a long time, and there won't be any mistakes."

"Important ministers in the court, famous scholars in Donglin, and even ministers in the cabinet all participated in it. The relationship is very important. Even if His Majesty knows about it, he will not deal with it lightly."

"What's more, the scholars of my generation are all loyal and righteous. They are not the eunuchs who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They will never reveal a single word. You can sit at home and make huge profits for yourself."

Huang Huatang was stunned in his heart, saying that it is not as good as a tiger's den, how can a tiger cub be found, his expression returned to normal, and he sat among the tribute students and asked:

"Mr. Li said as if all the profits from this matter belonged to me. Ming people don't say dark words. How much profit does Mr. Li want from selling the test questions this time?"

When Li Zhiling heard this, he felt relieved.

If the merchant was still the same as before, he wouldn't feel at ease telling him that in such a bargain, he would treat them as his own.

Besides, as a businessman, who would believe what he said?

Sitting next to him, Li Zhiling sneered: "I don't want any commission from you, and you have all the money you get from reselling the test questions, just in the name of eunuchs."

"It's more convincing for such things to be done by eunuchs."

Huang Huatang's heart is sure.

This group of Donglin scholars wanted to gain fame and profit, and in the end they didn't forget to put the crime on the eunuchs, and they stood up with righteous words, turning black and white, and telling justice.

It's no wonder that when the court was full of prosperity, the government and frontiers were not as good as each day. When Donglin fell and the eunuch party came to power, they won consecutive victories and the political situation was stable.

If this group of tribute students who are good at using joints are allowed to become officials, the court will be dark!

Huang Huatang smiled slightly, and flattered him: "It's easy to handle, but I'm a businessman, and I believe in equal transactions. I'll let the young master take [-]% of the profit, just for peace of mind. How about it?"

Li Zhiling was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly:

"Why not? There are still businessmen in this world who don't make money. It's rare——, it's really rare!"

……

The next morning, Liu Mansion.

Zuodu Censor Liu Zongzhou was about to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for his duty. He had just dressed up in the third-rank official residence, and before he stepped out of the main hall, he saw his son Liu Bian running towards him.

"Why are you so flustered, what a shame!"

Liu Zongzhou had always taught his son not to be alarmed, seeing his hasty expression, he couldn't help but reprimand him with anger.

As if something serious had happened, Liu Bian didn't even care about saluting to his father, holding a notice in his hand, and said:

"Father, something has happened."

Liu Zongzhou also knew that his son was always cautious, but this time he didn't even pay attention to salute in such a reckless collision, obviously something serious happened.

He immediately sat down and said, "Let's talk about it in detail with my father."

"Do you still remember the same examiner Li Yuanjian two months ago?" Liu Bi asked, looking anxious, as if the fire was on fire.

Liu Zongzhou was silent for a while, nodded and said: "This time, my father told you about the leak of the exam questions. If you don't leak the exam questions, I, Donglin scholar, will come to the court again. It will be easy to talk about it!"

"Father, I'm not here to argue with you this time!" Liu Bian also slightly raised his voice, "The matter has been exposed. Last night, Beizhen Fusi suddenly dispatched and arrested a few tribute students!"

Liu Zongzhou had nothing to worry about. He just sneered and said, "It's just the arrest of a few Gongsheng students. What a big deal it can be. Over the years, Dongchang has arrested a lot of people!"

"Father, why don't you think about it. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival, and dignitaries from all over the world are gathered in Beijing. At this juncture, the factory guards have always been law-abiding. This is the first time they have arrested people like last night. I am afraid they have heard What's wrong with it."

"Father, stop before you make a big fuss!"

Liu Bang said, and knelt down.

Liu Zongzhou's forehead buzzed, and he leaned directly on the chair, his expression froze, but his eyes flickered sharply.

……

"Ge Lao, save me!"

Not long after, Liu Zongzhou didn't even bother to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and went straight to Han Yu's mansion, blocking the chief assistant who hadn't left for the cabinet.

Hearing what happened, Han Yu was so angry that his hair stood on end, he asked in a deep voice:

"Who else is participating this time besides you?"

Liu Zongzhou was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Han Yu got up and wanted to leave, he gritted his teeth and confessed:

"There are also Yuan Huazhong, the censor of the vice capital, Gu Dazhang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuanjian, the servant of the Ministry of Households, and Liu Yixiu, the former cabinet minister who has resigned and returned home.

"That's all -!"

Seeing Liu Zongzhou's eloquence and wanting to talk again, Han Yu was shocked to hear that each one of them was a court official, a celebrity, Qingliu, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Han Yu stood up, pointed at Liu Zongzhou tremblingly, and angrily said: "Niantai, ah, I told you that His Majesty is not the kid before Yigong took the throne. I told you not to wade into these muddy waters!"

"I told you not to let Donglin Shizi enter the court as an official, just let it be, you, why don't you listen!"

"I'm going to be killed by you, and Dong Lin in the world will be killed by you!"

"I will protect you, I am the chief minister of the cabinet with no real power, how can I protect you? Can't you see that His Majesty is taking the power of the cabinet back to the military computer room!"

"I'm just an empty shell put on top for others to see now. The reason why the imperial decree has been returned to the cabinet is that His Majesty left half of the thin face for me, an old bone!"

Having said that, Han Yu slapped himself twice, and then cursed: "You too, if His Majesty wants to fuck, he can fuck us to the end at any time!"

"Why is it at this time, you are still thinking about controlling the government, still thinking about forming a party and fighting..."

Han Yu was old after all, so tired of scolding that he slumped on the chair, gasping for breath, and seemed almost unable to breathe and died of anger.

Han Yu has always been mature and steady, this is the first time he has seen him so angry, and Liu Zongzhou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his intestines were green with regret, and he didn't dare to refute.

Liu Zongzhou hurriedly stepped forward to support Han Yu, and said in a low voice:

"When I know I've made a mistake, I'll ask Mr. Ge to show me the way. Xu Xianchun has already set his sights on those Gongsheng students and arrested several of them."

"If you don't move, wait for them to recruit, I'm afraid there will be a big trouble and it won't end well!"

Chapter 4 Controversy of the Guihai Gold List

"You can do what you want!"

Looking at Liu Zongzhou who left angrily, Han Yu's face looked extremely ugly.

At this time, the butler came in a hurry, with a panicked expression: "The second master is here, I'm afraid something big happened in the court, and I don't even care about going to the Ministry of punishment."

Han Yu sighed when he heard the words: "I still can't hide..."

Liu Zongzhou came here to say that Donglin formed a clique and peddled the imperial examination questions from top to bottom. His brother Han Huan also got the blessing of the leader of Donglin back then to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment, so he couldn't be exempt.

He sighed and thought for a while, after all, brothers should not be too unfeeling, Han Yu knew in his heart that he must have come to him to find a way to avoid disaster.

But since they have done this kind of thing without telling themselves, it will be a disaster for the whole Donglin, and he, Han Yu, has no ability to avoid the disaster.

Sighing, he said:

"I'm going to change clothes, tell him to wait for me in the side room..."

After walking a few steps, Han Yu suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "By the way, set up the food and drink, and go to the vegetable market to buy a big fish. This old man hasn't spoken to this clan brother for a long time."

As the news spread, the ministers of Donglin who were going up and the scholars of Donglin who were going down were all in a mess, like headless chickens.

As for Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang, Monk Zhang Er was also puzzled by the news that Jin Yiwei frequently dispatched to arrest Gongsheng.

"uncle!"

On the afternoon of the third day after Xu Xianchun's arrest, Fu Yingxing rushed over and said to Wei Zhongxian, "Beizhen Fusi has been acting for several days in a row. I'm afraid something serious will happen."

Wei Zhongxian looked indifferent, said:

"Can there be any big moves? The Lantern Festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival has just ended. To arrest a few people at this juncture is just that Beizhen Fusi wants to expand his influence."

"Xu Xianchun wants to fight Ben Du, but he is still a little tender."

In fact, what Wei Zhongxian thought was right, Xu Xianchun was better than his predecessor Liu Qiao, although he had means, he was still overwhelmed by Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian not only has Dongchang, but also the "eunuch party" that Zhu Youxiao relies on to check and balance the government. Xu Xianchun only has Jinyiwei.

Fu Yingxing collected himself and said:

"Uncle, my eyes and ears in Suzhou say that Donglin Gongsheng Zhang Xiu has been in close contact with fellow examiner Jiang Zhenye recently, and it is said that he has some kind of clue!"

"And this thing?"

Wei Zhongxian's expression changed, he motioned for Fu Yingxing to sit down, and muttered, "There was an incident in the autumn of the second year of Tianqi. From this point of view, there seems to be some connection between the two incidents..."

Fu Yingxing also remembered, and quickly said: "Last year, a Jiashan student named Zhang Zhuo wrote a post to mock Qiuwei chief examiner Liu Zongzhou's favoritism and fraud, which indeed caused a wave of disturbance in the local area."

"It's just..." Wei Zhongxian suddenly sneered, "It's just that His Majesty was still patrolling the South at that time, so he didn't pay attention to this matter, and it has been forgotten by people even now."

"Last year, Qiu Wei was indeed full of disadvantages. Since Donglin was expelled from the government, he was resentful, so he resorted to such indecent tricks, trying to get Donglin to return to the court. It's really a good plan!"

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes moved slightly, and he made a quick decision, got up and said:

"Send someone to Suzhou and bring back this lock named Zhang Xiu. Make up a name at will. The governor will interrogate himself!"

Fu Yingxing turned around and left, saying:

"Okay! I'll go to Suzhou myself!"

……

Within a few days, not only Beizhen Fusi frequently dispatched to arrest people, but even Dongchang got involved. Tiqi left Beijing and went straight to Suzhou.

A few days later, Fu Yingxing came back excitedly, with a happy expression on his face: "Uncle, happy event, happy event! Zhang Xiu has been locked up and taken back to Beijing. Before I can torture him, he was so scared that he peed on his pants."

"According to him, he obtained the evidence of corruption and bribery from fellow examiner Jiang Zhenye, who went to extort more than 1 taels of silver from him!"

"Evidence of corruption and bribery has always existed in Dongchang, but these are small fish and shrimp, and the governor is too lazy to do it."

Wei Zhongxian didn't believe that it was just such a trivial matter. In the past few days, he also ordered people to find out the relevant news after the fall of last year. Combined, he felt more and more that the Donglin Party was plotting something big.

How could such a good opportunity to ask the Emperor Tianqi for credit and reward be easily let go.

"Come and see..." Wei Zhongxian waved at Fu Yingxing and sneered:

"Last year when the autumn list was published, there was indeed a commotion among the scholars in the local area. Only then did the governor find out that Donglin scholars accounted for seven of the names on the autumn list last year."

"In this way, the scholars from all over the world who failed the rankings naturally refused to accept it, so there were these posts accusing the examiner Liu Zongzhou of taking care of his students and bending the law for personal gain."

Even Fu Yingxing could see that the matter was not simple, and after being instructed by Wei Zhongxian, he suddenly understood, and smiled fiercely:

"Uncle, it looks like this is a good show!"

"Shall we do it?"

Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "This has to wait for His Majesty's opinion, I'm afraid His Majesty already knew about it."

Fu Yingxing was a little strange.

"Then what are you waiting for, Your Majesty?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head, then laughed ho ho, without answering.

……

Two months later, the Tianqi Three-Year Examination successfully ended, and the list of the gold list was released to the world.
