"Investigate the case? Have I issued an order to let you leave Dali Temple?" The emperor's face relaxed a little.

"Father, my son heard Zhang Xiaojing say that this year's imperial examination was fraud. After all, the imperial examination was related to the selection of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the foundation of my Tang Dynasty. I was urgently in power. Then I took the death row prisoner Zhang Xiaojing away from Dali Temple and went to Fengyue Xiaozhu to investigate the case!" Yu Zhigan's face was not blushing when he said this.

As for why he simply said that he was going to drink wine? In this case, the emperor would depose Yu Zhi as the prince in anger. Wouldn’t he have done his wish?

Too young, I can only say that the person who speaks like this is too young. If he was deposed as the prince because of this matter, Yu Zhigan probably wouldn't go out in this life. He would definitely be kept in a small building and spend the rest of his life. This is not what Yu Zhigan wants.

"Yeah?"

"Yes, my father and son minister asked Lu Bu, a candidate who participated in the scientific examination this year, and there was a key evidence that Su Can, a high school scholar, could not even write his own name before the scientific examination, but he could be a high school Jinshi. Father, if this matter is true, then as long as I have money in the Tang Dynasty, I can be a high school Jinshi? Then Emperor Taizong will only become a game for powerful families to win over the world's talents!"

After saying that, Yu Zhi kowtowed heavily, and it still looked like that.

Hearing Yu Zhigan's words, the emperor narrowed his eyes: "Is this true?"

"Father, Lu Bu has been brought back by Jing Ke, you will know it as soon as you ask!"

"Bring Lu Bu up!"

"yes!"

Wu Sangui immediately trotted out of the hall and conveyed the order.

Originally, Lu Bu could not have seen the emperor. In ancient times, you were either a royal relative or a high-ranking official. If the common people wanted to see the emperor, they would have to study hard except for the emperor's tour. After high school, there would be a palace examination and you could see the emperor from afar. Apart from that, it was impossible.

When Lu Bu was taken to the palace by Jing Ke, he was already trembling. When he heard that the emperor was about to summon him, he couldn't stand firm in the battle and sat directly on the ground.

"Hurry, change him into clothes and smell of alcohol. If you provoke the holy rage, it will be better for either of you!"

Compared to Lu Bu, Zhang Xiaojing sat casually on a chair, holding the pastry in his hand and slowly savored it. He accepted his fate no matter what, and he could still go there badly. He could see the emperor before he died, and he could whisper with his brothers after he went down?

Lu Bu was almost carried to the hall. After entering the hall, the two Jinwu Guards let go of their arms, and Lu Bu fell directly to the ground, and then knelt on the ground in panic: "Caomin, Caomin, Lu Bu, pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!"

"Um!"

Seeing Lu Bu's terrified look, the emperor was quite satisfied, and his serious expression also eased a lot. He coughed gently and made his voice softer as much as possible: "Lu Bu, right? I heard from the prince that you told him that the imperial examination fraud this time?"

After hearing this, Lu Bu immediately kowtowed twice in a row: "Your Majesty, it was said by the grass-roots people. Your Majesty, there are indeed people who cheated in the imperial examination this year!" Now Lu Bu has recovered a little bit now. After all, he is also a scholar. After his mentality is relaxed, he can speak normally, without stuttering or trembling.

"Hmm? Do you know, what is the crime of slandering others?"

"The grass people know that according to the Tang Dynasty, they slander others innocence, punish 50 people, and they will be punished thousands of miles away!"

The so-called punishment is to take something like an iron plate, slap your mouth fifty times. After slapping it fifty times, most people's mouths will fall apart even if they don't rot. If they are a thousand miles apart, they will be exiled for a thousand miles.

"Just know, just talk, what's going on!"

"Yes!" Speaking of the serious matter, Lu Bu respectfully kowtowed to the emperor: "Report to Your Majesty, Lu Bu, a native of Baotou, Jiuyuan, to report the fraud in the imperial examination. Su Can, a Jinshi, was not literate for more than a month before referring to it. He once hired Cao Min to teach him the name Su Can for three hundred taels of silver. When the results were released, Cao Min found that Su Can was at the end of the three list!"

"Is Su Can you teach him how to write?"

"Yes! Su Can was present when the results were released and he was lying loudly, so the grass people remembered it particularly deeply!"

"Wu Sangui!"

"I'm here!"

"Find out Su Can's imperial examination questions this year, and by the way, also find out the signature of Su Can entering the examination room!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Wu Sangui immediately stepped down and started to get busy. The emperor continued to deal with his government affairs, while Yu Zhigan continued to kneel on the ground. For one or ten minutes, Yu Zhigan couldn't stand it anymore and started to move in a while.

"Damn it, do you know what crime should you be guilty of losing your manners in front of the palace?"

"Father, son minister, son minister is anxious!"

Yu Zhigan’s cheap father stared at Yu Zhigan for a while: “Get up and wait outside!”

"Thank you, Father!"

Yu Zhigan stood up and ran out of the hall. It was so scary. If he could, he could travel back in time. Yu Zhigan immediately went back to be a loser and didn't want to come here to suffer.

In ancient times, Yu Zhi said that the efficiency of work was too low. If it were in modern times, it would be very simple to deal with such things. Just send a WeChat message and take a photo.

Now the eunuch needs to find someone to pass the order, then transfer the papers, and then someone will send them to the palace again, layer by layer, at least half an hour, and it is very easy to leak the secrets.

"Yeah, I'm out. At first I thought you could be scared to death like that!"

"snort!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Xiaojing. He was a person who had met the emperor and did not have the same knowledge as such people.

"Zhang Xiaojing, do you want to die or live!"

Yu Zhigan grabbed a pastry, crossed his legs, and asked Zhang Xiaojing.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who wants to die if you can live?"

"That's fine. I'll think of a way, but you can't escape the death penalty. If you change your identity, you can do whatever you want in Chang'an City in the future!"

“…”

As Yu Zhigan expected, it took about an hour before his cheap father summoned him and Lu Bu again, but this time the emperor's face turned pale.

Just now, Wu Sangui whispered a few words in front of the emperor that the scientific examination papers this year are still there, but the signed book is gone. The Ministry of Personnel responded that the Ministry of Personnel's warehouse had been burned a few days ago. The Ministry of Personnel reported this incident before, but because the important documents are still there, the emperor did not care.

If Lu Bu had not reported the fraud in the imperial examination, this time the water was only part of the daily memorials of the six ministries. After all, there were other yamen in the six ministries every year, and some water was often caused by the water.

But now it seems that it may not be as simple as an ordinary escape. If the fraud in the imperial examination is true, then those involved in the fraud will definitely destroy the evidence.

Just as Yu Zhigan and others were kneeling on the ground and waiting for the emperor's latest order, a guard hurriedly ran into the hall: "Get up and report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel's warehouse was just out of water, and the fire was fierce. He was mobilizing the diving troops in the city to put out the fire!"

"Lawless, lawless!"

The emperor stood up instantly, then paced on the spot, thought for three seconds and said, "Let Du Ruhui come over to see me!"

At the same time, he looked at Yu Zhigan and thought for a long time: "Prince!"

"My son is here!"

"Now I order you to fully investigate the fraud cases of the imperial examination this year, and it is necessary to find out the truth about the investigation!"

"My son obeys the order, but my father, I want you to have someone!"

"who?"

"Zhang Xiaojing?"

"Zhang Xiaojing? That death row prisoner? What do you want him to do?"

Yu Zhi's eyes turned: "Father, Zhang Xiaojing was once the bad commander of Wannian County. He is very familiar with Chang'an City. He has acquaintances in all walks of life. This time, the fraud case of the imperial examination was extraordinary. Before his father had ordered the review of the files, he immediately burned the files of the Ministry of Personnel. It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are very powerful. My son is worried that the investigation will leak news, so..."

There is nothing wrong with Yu Zhigan's reason, and at the same time, Yu Zhigan was also very frightened. Who is so good at hand? The one who just checked the file here can catch fire. If the two things have no connection, no one will believe it.

However, this exposed a message. The methods behind the scenes are indeed well-informed, well-informed and loyal subordinates. The warehouse of the Ministry of Personnel is not something that ordinary people can enter. Even the prime minister of the current dynasty has to check his identity before entering.

"Yes, yes, Wu Sangui!"

"I'm here!"

"I informed Dali Temple that Zhang Xiaojing would be transferred to the prince for a month, one month. If you cannot give me a satisfactory explanation, I will handle the matter of your trip to the brothel today. Haha, the prince entered the brothel privately, I think it would be more than just abolishing your position as prince!"

Originally, Yu Zhigan was quite happy after hearing the punishment. At worst, he would delay for a month and then let his cheap father ruin himself. But now it seems that his cheap father has seen through him for a long time and will not give him this opportunity at all.

"My son obeys the order!"

"Lu Bu reported his meritorious service, and he will give up the reward of 100 taels!"

"yes!"

The so-called bounty of 100 taels is not one hundred taels of gold, but one hundred copper coins. However, this copper coins are different from those circulating on the market and are a symbol of honor. Some wealthy families will collect it. It can be exchanged for one tael of gold, but ordinary people will not take it out until they are desperate. After all, this is a symbol of glory.

"Zhang Xiaojing, congratulations, follow me for a month. Within a month, this imperial examination fraud case will be solved. At that time, I will beg for mercy with my father again. Maybe your death penalty will be forgiven!"
