Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies

The emperor did not want to make this matter a big deal. The second prince was not as popular as Jing Yu. If he was involved in imperial examination fraud, it would be even more impossible to compete with Jing Yu.

The emperor personally helped the second prince up and sighed in front of all the officials: "My son is innocent and will inevitably be deceived by others. It is just a trivial matter. There is no need for my son to blame himself. He will have to share more of my worries in the future."

Zhao Shangshu didn't understand why a major case of imperial examination fraud could be uncovered so easily and skillfully. Examiner He was just a fellow examiner, how could he have such great ability? It was clearly Pei Cifu who was behind the scenes.

The second prince made it clear that he and Pei Cifu were in the same group. Otherwise, if Liang Wanzhou blatantly accepted bribes at the gate of the Gongyuan, why didn't the second prince report it?

Liang Wanzhou was just a target, a scapegoat, while the second prince and Pei Cifu were the masterminds!

Zhao Shangshu knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The concubine Xin Na in the second prince's mansion is the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family. Pei Cifu's daughter is also going to marry into the Zheng family. Pei Cifu is avoiding the important and taking the easy. What kind of oversight is it? ...Ji Shouxu, why are you pulling me?"

Ji Shoufu could see that the emperor was already very unhappy. The emperor didn't care whether Marquis Xuanwu died or not, but he definitely wanted to keep the second prince. If the trouble continued, Zhao Shangshu would not only have no merit, but might also be charged.

He pulled Zhao Shangshu up and told the waiter on the side, "Zhao Shangshu is tired. Please help me, please take Zhao Shangshu down to rest."

Zhao Shangshu was pulled down by the waiter, and the Jinluan Hall fell silent instantly.

Kong Liang knelt on the ground, as if everything had nothing to do with him. He suddenly felt that Huiyuan's name was not important. Penglai Restaurant had always had a good reputation of His Majesty being diligent and caring for the people, but when he saw it today, it was nothing more than that.

That case of dealing with corrupt officials that made people happy many years ago, was it really that His Majesty loved the people as his own children? Does your Majesty really care about the lives of the people?

Ji Shoufu cupped his hands towards the emperor and said after careful consideration: "Zhao Shangshu is brave and careful, uncovering the conspiracy of the general examination, and bringing justice to all the students in the world. Zhao Shangshu was so anxious that he behaved inappropriately in front of the palace. Please don't blame your majesty."

"Although Marquis Xuanwu is my son-in-law, the whole capital knows that my daughter is quarreling with Marquis Xuanwu. I will never violate the laws of the country for personal reasons. Except for Marquis Xuanwu and Examiner He, all the people brought into the examination room should be together." Put him in jail and hand the case over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.”

"The test papers of the remaining candidates will be re-evaluated and the apricot list will be posted again. After that, His Majesty will still be able to preside over the palace examinations, select talents for the country, and the new scholars will ride horses and parade through the streets. It will still be a grand scene in spring."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Ji Aiqing has thought carefully and just followed what Ji Aiqing said."

Ji Shouxu knew that the emperor just wanted to whitewash peace. The emperor would not even deal with Pei Cifu, and he could not involve Pei Cifu. This would only make the emperor feel that there was a fight between two factions. Pei Cifu must stay in the position of the second assistant to balance his power. , the emperor will feel at ease.

The emperor left with the second prince, and the court meeting also broke up.

As soon as Ji Shoufu came out of the palace, he saw the livid-faced Zhao Shangshu.

Zhao Shangshu was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was famous for his tough temper and his inability to adapt. Everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs followed his temper, sometimes not even giving him the emperor's face.

Zhao Shangshu stopped Ji Shoufu and said forcefully: "Shou Fu is really good at dancing and double-dealing. He made your majesty smile. By the way, he also sold a favor to the second prince. What a good plan!"

"Shoufu Ji, please don't leave! Are you feeling guilty? His Majesty has left this matter to you, and you will definitely not get to the bottom of it. Let me tell you, I will not let the second prince go..."

Ji Shoufu originally placed Zhao Shangshu in this position because he had a temper that could bring a new look to the messy household department. Now that the hammer was hitting him, it gave him quite a headache.

He was entangled by Zhao Shangshu and couldn't get into the carriage. Fortunately, Kong Liang came and persuaded Zhao Shangshu, and he was able to escape.

In early March, the imperial examination fraud case that caused a sensation in the capital came to an end quickly.

In addition to Examiner He, two deputy examiners were also implicated and were imprisoned for questioning.

Pei Cifu was scolded by the emperor for a few words and passed away without any pain.

The second prince was not affected at all. The emperor listened to the good concubine's whispers. In order to enhance the second prince's status, he also transferred people from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel was in charge of the assessment of officials and promotion and dismissal. The second prince finally had something in his hands. gain real power.

Jing Yu is still an empty-headed prince, he doesn't even know which way the door of the Sixth Department opens.

Liang Wanzhou was bound to die, but the old marquis had the iron book of alchemy given by the late emperor. The emperor could not violate the late emperor's will and could only spare Liang Wanzhou's life.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The emperor took away the title of Xuanwuhou, and the Xuanwuhou Mansion completely disappeared from the capital.

Without the title of Marquis, Liang Wanzhou could not rely on Yin En to enter the court as an official, and the Liang family was completely finished.

All the members of the Liang family who had defected changed their expressions. They no longer supported Liang Wanzhou, and even came to the Hou Mansion to cause trouble, asking Liang Wanzhou to return the sacrificial fields.

Liang Wanzhou's followers were originally street gangsters. A group of them were caught for cheating in the imperial examination, and the rest ran away. No one wanted to follow Liang Wanzhou, who had no title.

Xuanwuhou's mansion was empty, and anything of value had been used by the wealthy gambling house to pay off debts.

With a bang, the plaque of Xuanwuhou Mansion was taken down, smashed to the ground and broken into several pieces.

Before Liang Wanzhou had time to change out of his prison uniform, his clothes were sore. He had sunken eye sockets, a haggard face, disheveled hair, and ran out like a madman, shouting:

"Who asked you to smash the marquis's plaque? Do you believe that I will kill you? Get out! Get out!"

The government also acted according to the rules. The title of the Marquis was gone, so naturally the plaque could not be kept.

The servant took a strong sip and said in disgust: "You still think you are the Marquis? Why are you putting on the airs of the Marquis? You are delaying your errands. I can arrest you now."

Liang Wanzhou flinched. He was so scared in prison that he didn't even dare to fart when he heard this.

The officer laughed and left. Liang Wanzhou pretended to be crazy and sent away the Liang family members. Before he could enter the house, the people from Fugui Gambling House came again.

Brother Fei stepped on the plaque of the Hou Mansion and made a click, which startled Liang Wanzhou.

Liang Wanzhou showed a flattering smile at Brother Fei, "Brother Fei will wait for me for two days, and Ji Yunhuan will be at Fuguang Temple. She will still be my wife, and Ji Shoufu will still be my father-in-law. They will not ignore me. "

"Ji Yunhuan's dowry is so large. It wasn't her dowry that you were interested in at the beginning. As long as I dismiss the concubines and treat her wholeheartedly, women are the softest and will definitely change their minds. I can afford to pay off any gambling debt by then."

Brother Fei arrogantly patted Liang Wanzhou's face and said sarcastically: "Master Hou has become a freeloader. I'll give you two more days. If you still can't do it, I will take over the Hou Mansion." Now, and those beautiful concubines of yours, I will use them to pay off my debts."

Liang Wanzhou nodded and bowed, feeling grateful, "Brother Fei, don't worry, this gambling debt is nothing. Ji Shou's auxiliary power has invaded the government and the public. With the Ji family here, I will definitely be able to make a comeback."
