Ice Beauty Emperor Master Manual

After listening to Xiaoqing's words, Yu Ke sat in front of the desk with a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"...Although the family of slaves and servants are ants and short-sighted, their family background is clean and there has never been a criminal. My cousin is very talented and has always been appreciated by teachers and fathers. In the matter of scientific examinations, I really did not plagiarize others. The need for the paper, I beg His Highness the Crown Prince to enlighten me!"

Xiaoqing bowed again, with her hands on the ground, her forehead pressed against hers, her voice trembling, as if all her hopes had rested on this prayer.

Yu Ke frowned.After a while, he said: "You step back first, I will give you justice."

The tense strings in the study loosened a little, and so did Xiaoqing's shoulders.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Xiao Qing kowtowed to Yu Ke, then kowtowed to Chu Tang, stood up and left.

Yu Ke looked at Chu Tang.

Chu Tang didn't stop in his hands, and on the snow-white rice paper, there were black characters with clear lines, and the movement was like floating clouds, as if he was startled by a dragon, as if he only had this one thing in his eyes, and he couldn't hear the disturbances from the outside world, and he had no other distractions.

"Brother," Yu Ke walked to the chair beside him and sat down, and asked, "What do you think?"

"The subject of scientific research has long been entrusted to His Highness with full authority. His Highness has already made a decision in his heart, so let's do it." Chu Tang said lightly.

Yu Ke had a gloomy handsome face: "If what she said is true and her cousin didn't cheat, then someone took his essay and replaced one of the Jinshi places."

He was in charge of supervising the scientific examination for the first time this year, and he had gone through a lot of things in his hands. He clearly remembered that the number of people who will be admitted to Jinshi this year will be over [-], which is exactly in line with the number of people to be recruited.If Xiaoqing's cousin cheated, then the number of Jinshi should be reduced by one. Why was the result handed in a few days ago still [-]?

He really didn't expect that someone would dare to cheat for personal gain under his nose, destroy the fairness of the exam, and find innocent people to take the blame.

But apart from being angry, he was more worried.

He secretly glanced at Chu Tang.

Without raising his eyelids, Chu Tang said, "Does Your Highness have anything else to say?"

Yu Ke pursed his lips, tentatively, and said, "Brother, actually..."

Chu Tang stopped writing and asked, "Does Your Highness know who did it?"

Yu Ke froze and nodded: "Yes. I can probably guess who it is."

Chu Tang nodded: "I would like to hear the details."

Before Chu Tang came back a few days ago, when Yu Ke was dealing with court affairs, he discovered that Li Wei had begun to accept bribes. Although his actions were subtle, they were still known.

As the saying goes: "Flowing water does not rot, and the door hinge does not worm." In the past, Yu Bei was turbulent, and a large part of the reason was that the officials were like silkworms, slowly devouring the inner money, and each took his own money, which led to disunity and the collapse of the pillars. .

Therefore, Chu Tang has always asked Yu Bei officials to be honest and honest, and not to give or accept privately, and if they do, they will be severely punished.After many years of reform, the atmosphere in the imperial court improved a little bit, and Yu Bei was thriving.

Yu Ke thought about it a few times.Originally, according to the rules, he should have resigned from Li Wei's official position in Shangshu Province and transferred to another place.However, in the end, he only fined Li Wei's salary to make him reflect on himself, and it was not too severe.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei's matter was exposed again today.

"Li Wei is in charge of reviewing the papers this year, presumably he did something wrong."

Xiaoqing's cousin was told of plagiarism only after he got out of the list.If there is no problem during the correction, then there is a problem with the review.

Chu Tang put down his pen: "Why didn't Your Highness learn from past mistakes and learn from past mistakes?"

Now that Li Wei has shown signs of accepting bribes, he should be treated equally and dealt with according to the law.This way there will be no later events.

But Chu Tang asked this, not to blame Yu Ke, he was just curious.Yu Ke has also dealt with the same thing before, with the same methods as him, and he said exactly what he said, but why did he only take a liking to Li Weiwang?

But Yu Ke thought he was blaming him for his ineffectiveness, so he looked away, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Isn't he one of your people?"

"Your Highness?" Chu Tang asked doubtfully, not hearing what he said.

Yu Ke was aggrieved, and also a little afraid to look at Chu Tang: "Because Li Wei was on your side from the beginning, I, I don't remember wanting to sweep your face."

Chu Tang was taken aback for a moment: "The minister's face?"

Yu Ke said: "That's right. And if I punish Li Wei severely, those people will definitely think that I am at odds with you, and then rumors will arise, what should I do if my brother has a grudge against me?"

Chu Tang shook his head, and said, "I won't disagree with Your Highness because of unnecessary things."

Yu Ke also shook his head, and said: "My brother grew up in a Buddhist temple, so he doesn't know how bad the rumors are."

Chu Tang sneered: "But Your Highness, on balance, this matter will harm the interests of ordinary people."

Yu Ke pursed his lips and whispered, "Are ordinary people more important than you?"

Chu Tang didn't hear it, and said: "If Xiaoqing is not from the minister's mansion, if His Highness didn't notice her today, then she is an ordinary family, where should she go to seek justice?"

What Chu Tang meant was that according to the procedure, Xiao Qing could obviously go to the capital to appeal for grievances, why didn't she go, or couldn't go?Is it time for the government to check it out?

If it were normal, Yu Ke would definitely understand what he meant.

However, now his mind is full of thoughts like "Chu Tang disagrees with his actions, Chu Tang even blames him, he only let Li Wei out of consideration for Chu Tang's face, Chu Tang actually blames him".

When I heard Chu Tang's words, I thought he was questioning him. I was sad and wronged for a moment, and said indiscriminately: "If you can't get justice, you can't get justice. What do you care about? There are so many cases of injustice in the world, can you handle it? ?”

Chu Tang frowned.

Yu Ke was a little afraid that he would be angry, but he couldn't control his temper: "And I'm also going to make up for it after a disaster? Why do you bother me so much?"

The corners of Chu Tang's lips were slightly pressed, and his whole body was like a calm and clear lake, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

After all, Yu Ke was young, the first time he saw Chu Tang treat him like this, he was so sad that he was dying, his eyes were red, he was no different from a little rabbit who was short-tempered.He was still angry, and said again: "It's just an outsider, is it worth you scolding me like this?"

Chu Tang looked at him, Yu Ke turned his head away, avoiding his gaze, and sucked his nose.

"Your Highness," Chu Tang said calmly, "I didn't scold you."

Yu Ke turned away directly, his palms sweating.

Chu Tang said: "Prince, have you forgotten what I taught you?"

Has he forgotten what Chu Tang taught him before?

Yu Ke's heart trembled.

On his fourth birthday, after Chu Tang became his grand teacher, he would often teach him to recite classics and point out historical events.

"Your Highness, since the founding of the country, Yu Bei has always been strong and peaceful, but why has it fallen to this point?"

Yu Ke replied: "The country is weak and the army is weak, civil servants love money, and generals are afraid of death." Therefore, Qi Meng's attack on Yu Bei is like entering a land without people.

"That's right." Chu Tang nodded and said, "Government and equality are the foundation of a country. Each perform their own duties, which is the fairness of officials to the people of Yubei."

He remembered what Chu Tang said, and of course he would never forget it.

However, he couldn't turn around, his brain became hot, and he said everything he thought: "But Li Wei is loyal to you, and it is useful, why don't you protect him?"

In fact, this was what he was afraid of.Chu Tang is so sincere to him today, if one day he is useless to Chu Tang, loses his use value, even loses his face, and becomes his burden, Chu Tang will be so unselfish and ruthless ?

System: "..." Is this how Flipping and Ruthless is used?

Chu Tang didn't know Yu Ke's twists and turns, so he just said: "He was useful at the time, but in Yu Bei now, useful people abound."

Yu Ke didn't know what to say.

Chu Tang sighed: "The crown prince probably won't listen to what I'm saying now. After this matter is settled first, I'll come to His Highness later."

he's gone.

Yu Ke sat cross-legged on the couch, with his back to the door already twisted. Hearing the sound of Chu Tang leaving, his eye circles became redder and he was very angry.

After a while, he wiped his eyes, got on the bed, and left.

Song House.

"Although Mr. Li Wei has experience, his mind is uncertain." Song Shuangcheng said, remembering, "This time it was the negligence of the subordinates, who didn't keep an eye on that old fox."

"It's okay, it hasn't made a big mistake yet," Chu Tang said.

The person who went to search Li Wei's mansion just now came back, clasped his fists and reported: "Report to the national teacher and general, there are ten boxes of gold, silver and jewels hidden in Mr. Li's mansion, as well as an unregistered land deed, and there is also a letter inside, please Take a look, my lord."

After Chu Tang read it, he handed it to Song Shuangcheng.After taking a look, the words above were sincere, hoping that Li Wei would change the article during the re-examination, and give his son a chance to become famous, and the signature was a high-ranking official in the court.

"You are so bold that you dare to collude in private and cheat for personal gain in the scientific examination." Song Shuangcheng snorted, "One bribed the examiner, and the other embezzled a generous gift. This will catch them all in one go."

The guard said again: "Master Li has confessed to the truth, and he is being held in the dungeon to wait for his punishment."

For fraudsters who impersonate their names and exchange papers privately, Yubei's law stipulates that they will be exiled by confiscating their homes.However, they intervened in a timely manner, and the impact was not too bad.

Song Shuangcheng asked: "What do the national teachers think?"

Chu Tang said: "Since the crown prince is fully responsible for the scientific examination this year, let him handle it."

The guard paused for a moment, and said: "Master Guoshi, there is still a group of people who went to search Li's residence just now, and they are His Royal Highness's people."

The two were stunned.

Song Shuangcheng laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect that the national teacher and the crown prince, the heroes see the same thing."

Chu Tang smiled lightly.

In the evening, the National Teacher's Mansion.

Chu Tang ate alone, and the housekeeper waited on him.

A person broke in suddenly, it was Xiaoqing.She knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed a few times, excited and ecstatic: "Thank you, thank you for saving my life! The family of servants is willing to work hard for the national teacher, and I will definitely repay your kindness!"

Chu Tang glanced at her.

The housekeeper went to help her up, but Xiaoqing cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

"You don't need to repay me." Chu Tang said, "Tell your cousin that you will be a good official after taking office."

"Yes, the servant must pass on the lord's grace."

When Xiaoqing left, she saw Yu Ke standing at the door, and her legs gave way in fright: "His Royal Highness!"

Yu Ke's complexion is not very good: "Yeah."

Xiao Qing said: "My servant, I would like to thank His Highness the Prince for being fair..."

Yu Ke interrupted her and asked, "Brother, is he still angry?"

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook her head when she came back to her senses: "Return to Your Highness, the national teacher does not seem to be in danger."

Yu Ke suddenly woke up.Chu Tang's expression was always calm, and others could see what kind of flowers looked at Chu Tang.He hesitated at the door for a moment, then left.
