Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

He Zhiyang never went home. Although He Zhiji was helpless at home, he couldn't think of a better way.

Although the cheating in the Imperial College has been investigated, and many teachers and students in the school know the whole story, but although the emperor was furious, he never issued an order, but secretly ordered Li Xiao to be imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison.

Now that Li Xiao has died in prison, the emperor remains calm. Many people in the court only know that there is a case of student fraud in the Guozijian, but they don't know what happened.

On this day, He Zhiji was drinking tea in the mansion when he suddenly saw the housekeeper trot in and said, "Eldest young master, it seems... someone from the palace..."

He Zhiji was startled, he looked up, and saw a chubby-faced internal officer in his thirties approaching with a smile on his face, he bowed to him and said, "Young Master He, our family is being polite."

He Zhiji recognized him as the emperor's confidant at a glance, he hurriedly smiled back and said, "Eunuch Li is here in person, why didn't you say hello in advance?"

"Why should you be so polite between us." Eunuch Li raised the corners of his lips and showed an approachable smile: "Young Master He, to tell you the truth, I came to the mansion this time to relieve His Majesty's worries."

A lot of thoughts flashed through He Zhiji's mind, but he still said modestly on his face: "If you have something to share your majesty's worries, you can just preach the decree, why bother so much."

"You can't say that, the He family is a talent His Majesty relies on, of course His Majesty cherishes it." Eunuch Li said for a long time with a smile, before getting to the point: "I also know that the He family is now the eldest son, so I discussed with you. .”

He Zhiji met his meaningful gaze, and his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken: "What's the matter with your father-in-law here, but it's okay to say."

"It's not about the Imperial College shrinking the printed documents."

"Isn't this matter already settled?" He Zhiji's expression remained unchanged: "I heard that Li Xiao has died in prison, and it is up to His Majesty to tell all the officials about this matter. Is there anything else I need to do?"

"Young Master He thinks this matter is easy." Eunuch Li sighed, "You also know that His Majesty has always been a face-saving person. There was a student cheating in the imperial examination before, and His Majesty severely punished Li Xiao. Specially value the discipline of the examination room of the Imperial College."

"Who knows that not long after the imperial examination, the Guozijian cheated again on the cusp of the storm. Isn't this a slap in the face of His Majesty?" Eunuch Li shook his head: "If there are really a few students who cheated, it's fine to deal with it, but This time it was Li Xiao who was setting up a trap again. If this matter got out, others would talk about the lack of strict laws and regulations in the court, and Li Xiao was also an official ordered by the court... His Majesty meant to execute him in secret, but on the bright side, he had to change his rhetoric... ..."

He Zhiji gradually guessed the purpose of this person's visit, and his face was already grim: "What does Eunuch Li mean?"

Eunuch Li coughed lightly: "Our family's intention is to ask Brother Ling to admit the matter first. He admitted it. It's just a small case of students cheating, and the court will not have too many rumors."

He Zhiji sneered secretly in his heart, and instantly understood what the emperor was thinking.

Recently, the civil servants have repeatedly written letters, denouncing the eagles and dogs inside and outside, hoping that His Majesty will suppress their arrogance.

But the emperor was naturally unwilling to suppress his minions, and kept appeasing the civil servants.

If this group of people knew that Jin Yiwei had reached out to the Imperial College, and repeatedly tried tricks in the examination room, they would definitely use this matter to file a letter to let the emperor further restrict Jin Yiwei's power.

A few days ago, the emperor had decreed that the Imperial College was not allowed to discuss this matter, and now he wanted to take advantage of the uncertainty of the matter to let He Zhiyang take the blame and bring peace to the court.

He Zhiji sneered and said, "How do you recognize it?"

Eunuch Li hesitated a little, but still said: "Let my younger brother go to the yamen to confess his crime, and the board will be exposed."

He Zhiji's tone was condensed: "So you let your younger brother endure the humiliation and admit the guilt that doesn't belong to you?"

Eunuch Li was stunned. He originally thought that the difficulty of this matter lies in the matter of fame. If his reputation is tarnished, it will not be easy to go into an official career. Therefore, if He Zhiji asks questions about his future, he has already prepared his speech. Who knows However, Zhiji said that his younger brother was wronged, which caught him off guard.

Eunuch Li waved his hands and smiled: "A teenage boy, what is wronged or not? Didn't the people who framed him have died in prison? It's just to let him admit the fraud. After all, he is a child, and he only wants to be wronged." If you feel competitive, your brother will be punished and no one will question the court, isn’t that a good thing, Mr. He?”

"It's fine if you get punished?" He Zhiji was already very angry: "Let's not talk about whether he can bear the punishment, my brother didn't do this in the first place, so why should I put it on him?" on the head?"

He stood still before and made He Zhiyang feel wronged in the Imperial College, and he felt very sorry for his younger brother, how could he pretend to be deaf and dumb, turn black and white, and push his brother further and further away?

Eunuch Li did not expect He Zhiji to be so tough.

Because the He family has always been friendly and obedient to the emperor's orders, it is rare to see him express his attitude so strongly.

Eunuch Li was in a hurry: "Then how should I explain to His Majesty?"

"Just put the matter on my head." He Zhiji said flatly: "It was because I violated the court regulations and made a miniature document. Since the things in the hands of the supervisors cannot be said to be given by Li Xiao, let's say they are I'll give it to you."

"I will also ask for punishment, and I will not evade responsibility."

"Also, if my younger brother really made a mistake, I won't cover it up, but as an older brother, I won't just let others make mistakes and look down on him for things that have nothing to do with him!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and sent the stunned Eunuch Li away.

On the second day, He Zhiji took the initiative to submit the papers, admitting that the introduction of the miniature documents into the examination room was caused by his own negligence, and His Majesty please punish him severely.

There was not much disturbance in the imperial court for a while, after all, only Jingying and Liubu could print the miniature document, presumably He Zhiji's secretiveness allowed those children to take advantage of the loophole and enter the examination room with the miniature document.

The emperor also pushed the boat along the way, and issued a decree to punish the salary and stick the responsibility.

As usual, the responsibility for the staff is the job of Jin Yiwei. Qiao Yue knew the cause and effect of this matter, but he was a little surprised. He didn't expect He Zhiji to defend his younger brother so strongly.

I would rather bear the responsibility of the crime myself than let my brother be wronged again.

Qiao Yue snorted coldly, if this elder brother had stood up earlier, He Zhiyang would not have suffered so badly in the Imperial College.

As soon as he entered the mansion with a lot of thoughts, he was immediately stopped by He Zhiyang: "How did I hear that the fraud case has something to do with my brother, and he will be punished?"

He was still in Qiao Mansion, but now his heart drifted back home, wishing he could go out and inquire immediately.

Qiao Yue snorted, "Didn't that document come from the Beijing camp? It doesn't count as wronging your brother."

"Even if the document belongs to him, he didn't cheat. Why was my brother punished?" He Zhiyang said anxiously: "This matter has nothing to do with him."

"The decree has been made, tomorrow will be punished."

Once the will is made, no one can change it.

"You really want to beat my brother." Seeing Qiao Yue's indifferent face, He Zhiyang became a little angry: "Let your people hit me lightly."

"I was about to teach him a lesson, but he just happened to fall into my hands." Qiao Yue said lightly, "Can you let me off easily?"

He must take revenge, and when he thought of He Zhiyang starving alone in the Imperial College, he wanted to break the leg of He Zhiji's heartless brother.

"My brother does a lot of things for my own good." He Zhiyang's eyes were almost red with anxiety: "You can't blame him for what happened before, he didn't even know the reason why he was on my side, Now the truth is out, and he did not hide the truth."

"He just didn't find out the truth for me out of safety, but he never turned black and white."

Qiao Yue was not very happy: "You really know how to excuse him, so aren't you angry with your brother about what happened that day?"

He didn't understand the reason that day, but the matter of protecting He Zhiyang's safety has nothing to do with the reason.

He couldn't wait until the truth came to light, and he didn't want to make He Zhiyang suffer even a moment of grievance.

"Without my brother, would it be your turn to break through the door to save my young master?" He Zhiyang whimpered, "My brother's cowardice, doesn't it make my brother Yue's fame, invincibility, and skill even more... So my brother is also helping you!"

"Brother, good brother, dear brother... You must let your people take it easy tomorrow."

Qiao Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw his unreasonable appearance.

When the time came for the execution, Qiao Yue spoke fiercely, but in fact he still ordered the water to be released.

He Zhiji only suffered some minor flesh injuries.

This punishment made He Zhiyang no longer able to stay in Qiao's residence with peace of mind, he went out all night, and obediently went home to take care of his brother.

Lying on the bed, He Zhiji looked up and down at his younger brother who entered the door, his voice was slightly hoarse: "I'm getting fat. It seems that I haven't had any introspection in the past few days."

He knew that He Zhiyang hadn't cheated, but if he hadn't touched the forbidden items of the court, he probably wouldn't have suffered such bad luck.

He Zhiyang raised his hand to touch his cheek, and snorted, "Why do you get fat when you go to other people's house? You should reflect on whether it's our cook's problem."

"Slick tongue." He Zhiji scolded lightly, and then said slowly: "How comfortable are you staying in Qiao's residence these few days?"

Seeing his younger brother's cheeks brighten and his lips smiling when he entered the door, He Zhiji felt more and more inexplicably uneasy.

He began to think carefully, when did his younger brother get acquainted with the Jin Yiwei of Qiao's family?Why do we get so acquainted to such a degree that we don't distinguish between you and me?

Back then, Qiao Yue was brave enough to break into the Imperial College to protect He Zhiyang. Now that he thinks about it, he is also full of gratitude.

But He Zhiji felt more and more... the Jin Yiwei next door was extraordinarily considerate?Even, many courtships have lost their sense of proportion and schemes?

This time when he was punished, Qiao Yue not only didn't hit hard, but also took good care of him in prison, and even sat down with him and had a chat with him, the words were very polite and warm.

He Zhiji was very puzzled by Jin Yiwei's arrogant appearance.

He thought that he didn't have a sister of the right age either!
