Chapter 400
This is a big case. The reason why it is said to be a big case is because Zhao Xing encouraged the emperor to plead for the sect and discipline this time, the purpose of collecting bloody northern scholars and enriching the officialdom, and using it for himself, and resolutely giving the officialdom to the south led by the Southern Donglin. This is the fundamental reason.
As a result, the south gave itself the sand first. How could this work?
Zhao Xing does not do anything to make wedding clothes for others. Zhao Xing’s current mentality is that if he doesn’t snatch other people’s dowry, he is already considered kind-hearted.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Xing frowned and asked solemnly.
Li Shouyi said what he heard and what he judged.
Wang Qingyi solemnly said: "In other words, this time, Enko, who was specifically targeted in the north, was exploited by the scholars from the south. Theoretically, in terms of pens, we scholars from the north cannot compare with those from the south. The adults' designs are probably disappointed."
Zhao Xing nodded, and then shouted loudly to Mao Shouyi, who was carrying a dog outside: "Immediately drive across the bridge and bring all the candidates across the bridge to the Jinyiwei Yamen."
Mao Shouyi immediately received the order and rushed out of the yard.
Zhao Xing said to Sanyi who looked nervous: "Don't worry, I have regarded you all as my students. No matter whether you pass the exam or not, you 70 candidates have experienced Li Zicheng's coercion and not treason, and I have already firmly believed in your character. Follow me, let's turn the imperial examination system that is deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Qingyi and Li Shouyi looked at each other with excited eyes. Gong Shouyi was already trembling all over. He was not afraid, but excited, because he knew that from then on, his descendants would no longer be craftsmen.
In the Jinyiwei Lobby, the candidate who was having dinner at that time was trembling in front of Zhao Xing.
"Don't do this, you are not guilty. Just make it clear about the whole story, everything has nothing to do with you."
In the lobby of the Jinyiwei, whoever comes in is afraid of anyone coming in, Zhao Xing can only comfort this candidate who is already scared and incoherent.
"Sir, this was the situation at that time." The candidate finally calmed down and explained in detail what he heard and saw.
"The exquisite food shows that there are many resources, the words are messy, and the birthplace is unknown. I report to Taiyuan, Shanxi but I am not jealous. In terms of our Jinyiwei's mentality of confirming guilt first, he must be guilty." Zhu Chenguang solemnly concluded.
Zhao Xing nodded: "This time the emperor took the exam personally. If such a fraud case occurs, it will become a big joke."
The most important thing is that if such a result really happens, it will directly hit Chongzhen, who is eager to save face, for the enthusiasm of Enke. If Enke is activated in the future, then don’t even think about it. This is the ending that Zhao Xing doesn’t want to see the least.
Zhao Xingzhengrong immediately ordered: "Now, all the Jinyiwei in Beijing are dispatched. Please arrest all the candidates of the Enco-science courses in Beijing."
Zhu Chenguang immediately suggested: "In order not to slander the emperor, please arrest all the candidates."
For Enko, who was chaired by Zhao Xing this time, officials from Donglin and all the scholars who claimed to be true disciples of saints were waiting to watch the joke. As a result, the joke came.
Zhu Chenguang’s mind is that I made a joke, don’t stop, you want to make a joke, let’s come together.
Of course, Zhao Xing knew Zhu Chenguang's purpose and intention, but he shook his head: "No, our evidence is only Enko. We cannot arrest the formal imperial examination candidates. That way, the situation is too great. We will do it for the sake of face, and it will be passed." Then he said to Zhu Chenguang again: "Immediately mobilize all the Jinyiwei to secretly investigate the ills of the official imperial examination. I don't believe that they can attack Enko under my nose, and they will not take action against the official imperial examination."
Zhu Chenguang let out a long sigh: "Don't worry, sir, let him have it if I don't have it."
His meaning was very clear, that was to escape from Zhao Xing's difficulties, otherwise it would be one thing to slap himself in the face, and a huge joke was a big deal.
Zhao Xing was helpless, and the Jinyiwei still couldn't get rid of the original habit of criticizing others first and then finding evidence. However, in this incident, Zhao Xing believed that - yes.
This is indeed a shocking case, and it is really a huge joke. The two initiators colluded to resolve this matter. So, Zhao Xing hurried into the palace with the record of the case and met Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was still struggling in the pile of documents, but his mood was not as heavy as before, but he was quite comfortable. He heard that Zhao Xing asked for a meeting, so he summoned the couple without hesitation.
It was still the East Warehouse Pavilion. Seeing Zhao Xing coming in, before Zhao Xing could kneel down, Chongzhen lit up and said, "Please give me a seat and give me a cup of tea to you and your beloved."
Fang Zhenghua quickly did as he did, brought a stool to Zhao Xing and handed him tea. After Zhao Xing sat down, he asked carefully: "The emperor is in a good mood today and is in good spirits. I don't know if there is any happy event."
Chongzhen took a sip of the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Your dear is the right recommendation."
Zhao Xing was stunned, but he just said a flatterer: "Of course, it's the ending of the emperor's keen eyes to recognize people and boldly appoint them."
Chongzhen was very satisfied with Zhao Xing's evaluation to himself: "I don't object to this point. One dares to recommend it and the other is willing to use it with confidence. Our monarch and ministers are a perfect match."
Zhao Xing became more and more confused as he listened. There were many people he recommended, and I don’t know who was asking for the first prize.
Chongzhen put down the tea bowl, smiled and picked up a memorial and handed it to Zhao Xing: "Zhang Shenyan, the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, ask for credit for Yang Sichang."
Zhao Xing was shocked at the time: "What? Are you clueful about the She'an Rebellion?"
Chongzhen went to the ground and said in high spirits: "It's not just a clue, it's just hope that it's bright. Yang Sichang dispelled the opinions of the people and allocated 500,000 yuan from the millions of copper you brought from Dongjiang Town, and asked your squad of the squad to escort it. There were no more tickets or layers of deductions, and a lot of them were sent to Governor Zhang. Governor Zhang lived up to my wishes, and spent all the money on the soldiers who suppressed the bandits for a while
The morale of the army was greatly improved, and the soldiers killed the enemy with their hearts. In the battle of Yongxing not long ago, in this battle, more than 27,900 rebels were killed, more than 12,600 were captured, and 134 leaders were recruited. Only 2,688 were killed in the official army and 194 injured. She'an's main force was completely defeated. Now, they have been driven out of Yunnan, Sichuan, and compressed into the depths of Guizhou mountains. The country of Tianfu, and then return to Taiping, can pay money, grain and taxes to the court every year."
Then he slapped his hands excitedly: "This really corresponds to Yang Sichang's words, revitalize the whole ground, and live the whole plate."
