"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Qin Huai's eyes widened. It was the season of heavy snow, but his back was completely soaked: "If the third division intervenes, the city will be full of storms. Why? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Tu continued to remonstrate: "The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Does the Qin Zhangyuan want to ignore the trial and turn black and white, so that the old man will not be cleared of the crime for the rest of his life?!"

Emperor Chengming looked at Qin Huai with a look of condemnation, and said: "There are many doubts about this matter, so let Li Yunfu see you first."

Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

This tone is really relieved, it relaxes his nerves that have been stretched on the strings, and his heart is silent and peaceful.

In fact, he didn't intend to take out this picture.

Li Yunfu is talented and has a background. Although it is a pity this time, there will always be opportunities in the future.

By sacrificing him alone, he can perfect himself, and he won't offend Mr. Song Ge.

Fortunately, he reined in the cliff in time.

……

On the corridor of the palace gate, Wen Tong hurriedly walked, looking left and right, as if he wanted to find an empty corner.

Suddenly, bumped into a person.

When he looked up, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, shaking like a sieve.

"Damn it, you offended Lord Hou!"

His tone was urgent and fast, Liu Changze glanced at him, his haggard and thin figure shrank out of shape, how could Shen hang out with such a person.

It's like seeing a termite climbing up the branch of a long and strong pine, which is particularly dazzling under the contrast of the green leaf cover.

Liu Changze tapped him with his boot in disgust and said, "There's a picture."

Wen Tong was guilty at first, and his whole body froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

Liu Changze frowned, as if he had lost all patience.

Ah Liang had no merits, except that he was very good at observing words and expressions, so he immediately stepped forward and pressed Wen Tong to search, and found a long scroll from his sleeve.

A Liang handed it over to Lord Hou.

Liu Changze waited for two seconds, unwilling to touch it, so he stretched out his hand to open it and looked at it. He didn't know what he saw, and smiled for the first time.

Although extremely short.

But A Liang saw it.

A Liang thought that this Imperial servant might not live long.

Unexpectedly, Lord Hou left directly.

The pace is still fast.

When Liu Changze and Wu Daidangfeng passed by Wentong, Wentong heard a contemptuous tone: "You are a fool, he is even more stupid than you."

Stupid, do you mean that he took the drug, but he was afraid of accidents to steal the pictures?

Wen Tong didn't know what it meant, and his whole body was limp on the ground.

Liu Changze walked like flying, and when he stopped Qin Huai near the Imperial Academy, he was still a little breathless, he tried his best to restrain himself, and his whole face became more solemn.

Qin Huai didn't know what he meant, he held the tray in both hands, leaned forward as a gesture of respect and said: "I have seen Lord Hou."

This move was convenient for Liu Changze. He saw the unnatural swing of his cuff with sharp eyes, and directly clamped a corner of the scroll from his sleeve.

Half of the white drawing paper protruded from the crimson official uniform.

Qin Huai was like a ignited firecracker in an instant, he freed a hand to try to snatch it, but Liu Changze moved too fast, Qin Huai saw that the object was already in his hand, so he pointed at him and cursed: "Inner courtyard of the imperial palace, how dare you do this?" Arrogant and rude!"

But it didn't deter Liu Changze at all.

"The Holy Majesty entrusts the task of choosing the overseer to Qin Zhangyuan—" Liu Changze directly opened the drawing and showed it in front of his eyes: "This is how the Zhangyuan replied to Shengen!"

Qin Huai was stunned, how could the picture that had been on his cuff be changed?

Is it Shen Shaoqing?

No, he had clearly seen it, and then several Hanlin maps came one after another...

Could it be that someone was stealing under his nose?

Attached to the tray supported by his one hand, the scrolls on it were already precarious, and one of them fell off inadvertently.

Liu Changze caught it quickly and put it back in place.

Qin Huai is worthy of being a person who has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years, and his out-of-control expression recovered in just a moment.

He said: "The construction of water conservancy is a major matter for the family and the country. I also ask the Lord Hou to avoid suspicion and not to be a regent."

His tone was flat, but what he said was a capital offense.

Unmoved, Liu Changze took a roll of blueprints from A Liang and unfolded a corner for the director to see.

"Where did you get it!" Qin Zhangyuan's pupils shook.

"Important family and country affairs." Liu Changze nodded: "Such a major event, after being in charge of the court for many years, can be embezzled by others. Is it a mistake, or is it deliberate?"

Qin Huai's mind was in turmoil. He didn't do it on purpose, but he did relax his vigilance. Perhaps in his subconscious, that's exactly what he hoped for...

"Hanlin has a well-known reputation, and scholars are well-known. Since you are the head of the Hanlin Academy, you should follow the etiquette, cultivate your body and shape, and set an example for the world's talents."

Liu Changze sneered: "And you are not ashamed now?"

Qin Huai is a person with a conscience, but he just chooses the balance. When faced with the trivial sacrifice and immeasurable damage, he inevitably chooses a shortcut.

He is ashamed.

It is even more ashamed to be pointed out.

Qin Huai never blushed when he scolded each other in court, when he taught in the Imperial Academy, he never blushed when he preached his thoughts to the officials.

At this moment, the tips of his ears, cheeks, and neck were all red.

The Imperial Academy is the foundation of the country, but if the management of the academy is not correct, how can the family and country be stable.

There were tears in Qin Huai's eyes, squeezed on the mottled crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, looking very vicissitudes, he cupped his hands, saluted sincerely to this long-time enemy and said: "Your Majesty's word to wake up the dreamer, I'm so sorry to be an official!" gratitude……"

Liu Changze didn't look at him directly, but feared that he was not awake enough, so he injected a strong dose of threat.

He stuffed Li Yunfu's blueprint into Qin Huai's cuff, straightened him up and said, "There are people in Qin Zhang Yuan who respect you for being so skinny. If you give me a chance, you will be the main customer. If you don't understand, I will cherish it for you. help you play."

This forced Qin Huai to have no choice, and it was also his original choice.

Although Qin Huai was grateful to Lord Hou, it didn't mean that Lord Hou was a good person. In order to increase His Majesty's fear, he had to drag Lord Liu into the water together, distracting the focus of this matter, and letting His Majesty's balance fall to the other side. Old party slant.

Even if it doesn't work, we must plant hidden mines to destroy the new party's power.

In this way, his sacrifice is not unjust.

Soon, Li Yunfu arrived.

Emperor Chengming asked, "Is this picture drawn by you?"

Li Yunfu lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Emperor Chengming held a jade pen engraved with towering clouds and waves, pointed at a gorge, and asked, "How did you think of diverting people here?"

Li Yunfu looked up, there was something wrong with this picture...

There are a few ink marks under the gorge, which were not drawn by him.

He was suspicious, and suddenly realized that the atmosphere was weird. This was not an ordinary question. He glanced at the quiet Zhang Yuan and Jiang Shilang on both sides of the corner of his eye. It’s better to take advantage of nature and go deeper.”

These words not only express this gorge, but his entire picture is based on this idea.

Emperor Chengming raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. He didn't know anything, so he began to defend himself, very smart.

The young Hanlin under the hall has thick and curved eyebrows, shaped like a crescent moon, making his face appear full and soft, and his eyes are straight and tough, making people feel very clean.

Also a little silly.

It is easy to make people who have been in high positions for a long time develop a good impression.

Emperor Chengming thought, this Shen was making friends, but he was quite similar to the taste of the First Tutor.

He asked again: "I can learn from it, who have I asked?"

Li Yunfu had an intuition that it shouldn't be mentioned, but he still told the truth: "My lord, Shen Shaoqing of Dali Temple has helped my ministers a lot."

Emperor Chengming turned his head and narrowed his eyes, as if he felt very helpless towards these pedantic scholars.

Jiang Tu sarcastically said: "It's a joke, Shen Shaoqing admitted that he was not good at water conservancy in front of all civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace, but he was able to help you complete this masterpiece. Does Shen Shaoqing dare to deceive the king!"

Emperor Chengming did not speak, and threw the map of the Ministry of Industry to Li Yunfu: "This is the water control map of the Ministry of Industry. It was submitted last night. How do you explain it?"

Li Yunfu opened the picture. The drawing methods of the two pictures are different, but the routes and measures are almost exactly the same. They both use the Hulukou of the Luojiang River as the diversion point, which is a real plagiarism.

Ministry of Industry.

Li Yunfu just handed in the manuscript today, and the time couldn't compare. When it comes to talent, it is naturally highly credible as a major of the Ministry of Industry. Li Yunfu couldn't argue with it: "I never plagiarized! My lord has clearly checked!"

Jiang Tu snorted coldly: "As far as I know, Li Ge was born in Zhoucheng, and then went all the way to Beijing to catch the exam. He has never been to Luojiang River. May I ask how you know about this unknown Luojiang gorge!"

Emperor Chengming asked, "Is the Jing not clear?"

Jiang Tu said: "Exactly, if it weren't for the fact that there were Luojiang people in the Department of Water Affairs, the officials and others would not have noticed this place."

Jiang Tu still wanted to press for questions, but was stopped by Emperor Chengming with gestures.

Emperor Chengming stood up and squeezed his hands and said: "Plagiarism and fraud are the most despised by literati. This matter is of great importance. Li Jishi, you have to think clearly and answer."

The head of the court is wearing a sinful body, so he can only keep silent. He is standing in the corner of the bystander, and he understands more clearly that the Holy Majesty wants to keep the old party's heart, but he has been going against the scale.

The headmaster lowered his head by a few minutes.

Li Yunfu immediately understood what Emperor Chengming meant. No matter who it is, his reputation will be a stain if he is involved in this matter. He immediately put aside the relationship between everyone and said: "Although it is unknown, there are some mentions in Shen Taifu's Tongji map. , is enough to learn from. The construction of water conservancy plans involves thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Daqi. If you have to visit every place before you can draw up a plan, I think that the Ministry of Industry will not be able to do it."

"You are clever!" Jiang Tu cupped his hands and asked for orders: "There are more than [-] people in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering. They have worked hard to build this project, and this person is vague, and there is no reason. If the Holy Majesty does not thoroughly investigate The heart of all the ministers."

Emperor Chengming sat back on his chair and said, "Send Sansi."

As long as Li Yunfu refuses to admit it, there will be a turning point.

"My lord!" Qin Huai stood up.

Emperor Chengming stopped him: "This matter of plagiarism is a foregone conclusion, and the head of the court cannot absolve himself of the blame. First, we will conduct self-examination behind closed doors, and wait for disposal after the truth comes out."

Qin Huai wanted to speak again, but was invited out by Eunuch Lu.

As soon as he left the gate of the palace, Qin Huai pretended to kneel in the heavy snow. Eunuch Lu persuaded him: "The head of the court could have achieved great success today, but he is not afraid of being demoted. He also wants to speak out for the poor. Although he may not stay in Beijing in the future , and is admired by all.”

Qin Huai grabbed his hand, with pain overflowing his face: "Eunuch Lu, you can't implicate Mr. Ge...Let me try again..."

Eunuch Lu sighed: "From the moment the director took out the blueprint, this matter is doomed to fail..."

Hearing this, Qin Huai felt unsteady on his feet.

Eunuch Lu supported him and said, "Come on slowly..."

The wind and snow swept Qin Huai's face like a blade, and he walked towards the depths of the red wall step by step, first a solitary figure, then a small dot, disappeared in the vast expanse of whiteness.
