For Huang

After the Spring Festival, the candidates for Chunwei's chief examiner should be decided.

Originally, Mr. Chen Ge and Mr. Cao Ge had similar qualifications, and the chances of the two being the examiners were [-]/[-].However, Chen Ge's old age is not good, and he is always held back by his own clan and relatives. Although he is quite upright and reliable, he has a bad reputation among scholars nowadays.

Under such circumstances, who will be the chief examiner of Chunwei this time?The answer seems to be obvious!

Su Yunzhi said confidently: "Of course it's Mr. Chen Ge!"

To be honest, HP has never figured out where Su Yunzhi's confidence comes from.All those who have never really participated in Su Yunzhi's overall plan, in fact, they don't know where Su Yunzhi's confidence comes from.However, Su Yunzhi's plan has been going smoothly.

Xuebi had a mysterious trust in Su Yunzhi, so she took the result and pushed it back. Since the master and empress finally wanted to push Mr. Chen Ge to the top, but now she has been dragging Mr. Chen Ge's hind legs, Xuebi took it from it. I came to a conclusion: "Could it be that... wanting to promote before suppressing?"

Su Yunzhi tapped Sprite's nose: "You're so smart!"

Xuebi immediately felt that her nose was the most beautiful among her facial features, and it looked like the nose of a smart person!

"However, you're only half right." Su Yunzhi smiled meaningfully, "I'm clearly trying to deceive the world and make a fool of myself."

The elders Chen and Cao have similar qualifications, but in fact the power behind elder Cao is greater.The aristocratic family does not want the poor family to have more voice, so before the poor family has fully risen, the family will frantically suppress them.Therefore, Mr. Cao Ge, who has the help of his family, is actually very difficult to deal with.If Su Yunzhi had confronted Mr. Cao Ge directly from the beginning, what would have happened to her?

Quite simply, she will be attacked head-on.This is not good for her.Because Chen Gelao's power is several points weaker.

If Su Yunzhi asks someone to speak harshly to Mr. Cao Ge, then Mr. Cao Ge can double speak harshly to Mr. Chen Ge; if Su Yunzhi discredits Mr. Cao Ge, then Mr. Cao Ge can do the same If Su Yunzhi cut off part of Cao Ge's power, then Cao Ge's side can also reap the power of Chen Ge's faction... They will lose both sides in the fight, and Chen Ge will probably lose even more awful.

However, what did Su Yunzhi actually do?She has been causing trouble for Mr. Chen, creating the illusion that someone is always dealing with Mr. Chen. She is using this method to confuse and deceive Mr. Cao, making them relax their guard, thinking that Mr. Chen is not enough Considered.

In this process, because of Cao Fang's contempt for Chen, Chen was able to preserve all his strength.

Now, everyone felt that Mr. Chen Ge's reputation was not as good as Mr. Cao Ge's, and they all felt that Mr. Cao Ge was bound to become the chief examiner.Then Su Yunzhi's strategy of deceiving the sky and crossing the sea and making a fool of himself has succeeded.Next, she will make a sudden fast break to achieve the goal of winning.

The so-called fast attack is to make one's own attack appear like a spark before others have reacted.

The taste of the new year is still strong, and the winter cold has not dissipated. A few days after Emperor Qianqing started writing, an amazing news spread in the capital.When Mr. Cao Ge was still an examinee, he actually cheated!At that time, his servant gave a thousand taels of silver to some two examiners at that time!

When this rumor was first exposed, no one believed it to be true, but the subsequent rumors quickly caught up.

Let me first talk about the two years before the year of Cao Ge's old imperial examination, Cao's father actually carried a business woman to be a concubine.This matter is true, so the question is, Cao's father already had a son and a daughter at that time, and the life of the Cao family was not difficult at that time, why did Cao's father still willingly degenerate and accept a merchant woman as his concubine?The answer is very simple, the Cao family must have taken a fancy to the money from that merchant, and that merchant wanted to use the power of the Cao family, so they hit it off.

So, here comes the problem again.Why does the Cao family need money urgently?Was it intended to be used to bribe the examiners when Elder Cao Ge took the imperial examination?

Besides, after Mr. Cao Ge won the champion and entered the court, as he continued to climb up, the luck of the two examiners who had been bribed by him in the rumors became more and more unlucky. The implicated family has been copied and executed, and there is another examiner, Ding You, who has never recovered.

So, here comes the problem.Why are these two examiners so unlucky?Could it be that Mr. Cao Ge wanted to silence him with a guilty conscience?

……

In short, there is no evidence for Mr. Cao Ge's bribery of the examiner, but the rumors have been evolving in a direction that is not good for Mr. Cao Ge.The "evidence" that appeared in the rumors was actually not evidence at all, but it made Cao Ge feel ashamed all over his body.

"This trick is called creating something out of nothing?" Sprite asked respectfully.

Su Yunzhi shook her head: "No, this trick is to embezzle new things." Among the rumors she ordered people to spread, the basic rumors were true, and the most important rumors were false.But because of those real basic rumors, all the rumors seem to have added some credibility.

People's words are scary, and gossip can kill people.

When Cao Ge's old side wanted to take action, it was already too late.If they don't deal with the rumors, then everyone will regard him as the default, so they have nothing to say; if they deal with the spreaders of the rumors, everyone will think that they are guilty and want to cover up the truth.In short, no matter what they are going to do, they have already fallen behind.Moreover, their time is running out, and Su Yunzhi's new round of actions has started again.

Chen Gelao was quickly wiped out.Although the whole process is very short, in fact, whitewashing is also gradual.

Su Yunzhi was very measured before, so the black spots on Mr. Chen Gel's body were not fatal black spots.Whether it's the slavery and murder of his clansmen, or his nephew's fighting with prostitutes, even though it can be said that it is not good for him to control the clansman, but strictly speaking, these things have nothing to do with him!

Spiritual scholars can discuss the affairs of the world.Su Yunzhi has been ordering people to guide the rumors in the capital.

"Old man Chen Ge really can't be blamed for the fact that the clansman indulged slaves and committed murder. Don't you know that old Chen Ge was originally a concubine in the family. After his father passed away, his aunt directly kicked him out of the house, and the clan didn't even say a word to help him. I’ve said it before. Chen Ge always relied on the support from his uncle’s family to continue his studies. At that time, his uncle’s family was not in a good position, and his aunt actually pawned her own dowry in order to arrange for him to go to Beijing for the exam.”

"When Mr. Chen Ge became famous, the clansmen who abandoned him back then came to him face-to-face! On the one hand, they wanted to cling to Mr. Chen Ge, but on the other hand they continued to look down on his status as a bastard. Mr. Chen Ge repeatedly sent letters to persuade him Clansmen, who knows that they didn't listen at all!"

"Who doesn't know the things you said? Let me tell you, the uncle's family who gave old Chen Ge his food, clothing, and tiles when he was in distress is his real relative! What is the Chen family? If Chen Ge doesn't recognize the people of his father's family, some people will say that he is unfilial and unrighteous."

"Compared to... this one, Mr. Chen Ge can be regarded as honest and upright!" The speaking scholar dipped his finger in the tea and wrote the word "Cao".

……

"Mr. Chen Ge is upright. It is inevitable that he is in the way of some people, so people keep pouring dirty water on him!"

"The man who went to Beijing to sue the old clansman of Chen Ge for slavery and murder, there is nothing wrong with him, but his father died a few years ago, why didn't he come to Beijing at that time, just in the time of autumn and spring Did you go to Beijing to sue? The students are not talented, I just feel that there is something strange here!"

"Chen Ge's old and young people are miserable, so they naturally understand the difficulty of many of our students. If he is the chief examiner, there will be no fraud in the examination room."

"I just learned a very infuriating thing. There are many beggars in Beijing. Last year, someone gave these beggars some money and told them to spread those words that slandered Mr. Chen Ge in Beijing... Sigh , beggars are ignorant, but they are just asking for food and clothing, and they have been used by others."

……

Mr. Cao Ge is also a smart person, and the matter turned out like this in just a few days, he made a decisive decision, removed his official hat and uniform, and asked himself to be imprisoned to show his innocence.He bluntly stated that he was innocent, and that the Holy One would surely give him justice and punish those who designed to slander him.

His move is actually quite beautiful, and it may become an eternal story like "pleading guilty to a thorn".

But again, he doesn't have much time left.

"He doesn't know that I have already made a series of tricks, so I'll give him another move to get rid of the fire." Su Yunzhi made the last move on the chessboard, then stretched himself, got up and went to eat some snacks.Well, for a person like her who knows how to live, afternoon tea is a must no matter what time of day it is.

Scholars are actually a group of people who are particularly easy to be swayed by public opinion.They have many immature ideas, but they care about the affairs of the world; they are actually very young, so they are always fearless; they have learned a lot from books, so they have justice in their hearts.

Maybe they hated Mr. Chen Ge not long ago, but after the matter of Mr. Cao Ge broke out, they hated Mr. Cao Ge even more.

Compared with the matter of cheating in the examination room, which directly threatened the vital interests of the scholars, what was the matter of Mr. Chen Ge?Even if Mr. Cao Ge invites himself to go to prison, but the officials and officials protect each other, they will definitely not be able to investigate anything, so are they going to conduct an imperial examination that may not be fair at all under the hands of Mr. Cao Ge?This is absolutely not possible!So, under the guidance of some people, the scholars went to sit in front of the palace.

Things have come to this point, in fact, there is no way to make things better.

Is Mr. Cao Ge innocent?Of course he is innocent!So, you can't really push him out to appease the anger of the scholars, right?What's more, there are many forces involved behind him.Therefore, in the early court, many officials stood up to speak for him, hoping that the emperor would not be deceived by villains.

Emperor Qianqing's face became darker and darker.

The young emperor, who was always constrained by various parties in political affairs, remembered the past events during Taizong's reign that the concubine Shu had talked to him a few days ago.At that time, there was also fraud in the examination room, and it was also the scholars who sat in meditation. In the end, Emperor Taizong issued an edict of guilt, and the matter was resolved.

When this kind of matter was spread to the emperor, the emperor would have to issue an imperial edict; but in the end, Mr. Cao Ge could attract so many people to intercede for him?

Let me not be deceived by villains?Who is the villain!

At this moment, Emperor Qianqing finally became deeply jealous of Cao Ge.

Chen Ge's old school has always kept quiet.Old Chen Ge even had time to distract himself in the early court.Ah, he has endured for so long, and this time he can finally be torn apart from his father's family completely.Hidden in his sleeve is a booklet of apology for self-invitation to leave the clan. This trick is called advancing with retreat.

In Huayang Palace, the charming Concubine Shu smiled like a flower: "As I said, I will let Gong Qing get what she wants, and now my promise has been fulfilled. No, what I gave is actually more than what I gave you." She wanted more. What I did was actually better than what she expected. "
