Chapter 015
byThere was a dead silence in the Golden Luan Hall. There were dozens of desks in the hall, and on each desk was a student writing something with an examination paper.
Because the surroundings were resplendent and magnificent, and being in the palace, the surroundings were filled with majestic atmosphere, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, obviously very nervous.
Zhao Wen was sitting at the table, dripping with sweat. The moment he saw the test paper, he was startled.
"Since Emperor Taizong, my Great Ye Dynasty has a vast territory, abundant products, and peace and tranquility. Only the northern border has many disasters. Several generals went to rectify it, but they never returned. It became a place where bones are buried..."
The test questions this time were very big, and directly mentioned the policy on the war in northern Xinjiang.
Daye circled the enemy country Northern Wei towards the northern border. It was a nomadic people who conquered the world on horseback. Since the unification of the Daye Dynasty, it has been a strong enemy. After several generations of emperors, the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty has risen.If internal strife is serious, the national strength will be weakened, which has been unbearable in recent years.
Above the court, the main war faction and the main peace faction have been fighting fiercely. Whenever the cold snap hits in autumn and winter and the grassland withers, the Northern Wei Dynasty will send troops to plunder supplies. Seeing that this year's time limit has come again.
After going to court every day, half of the time is spent listening to the two factions. Obviously the emperor is very bored, so he directly writes questions in this year's palace examination to recruit talents.
Many students above the main hall have already started writing, but there are also a few who are hesitant.
Zhao Wen was one of them. When he saw the test questions, he almost jumped up in shock.
Because he had read this question a few days ago, and it was exactly the same as the content on the test paper. What's more, there was an answer on the paper. The policy theory was eloquent and well-founded.There are ways.
At that time, the piece of paper appeared suddenly. He fell asleep at night, woke up the next morning, and found a letter in his arms. There were no extra words in it, only questions and answers.
This strategy of governing the country must have a fatal temptation for any scholar. He took it very seriously and memorized it all.
He never expected that the exact same question would appear on the examination paper of the palace examination.
Zhao Wen's mind was in a mess. He suddenly felt that this was a trap set up by someone, and he was waiting for him to get in, but he also felt that it was someone who helped him.
He has been a unique child since he was a child. He can stand out in both studies and exams. From a village to a county to the entire state, he can win two yuan in a row. He was even favored by the Beijing officials and wanted his daughterMarrying him, maybe this is in the eyes of some noble master?
All of a sudden, Zhao Wen's imagination was full of thoughts, and various thoughts of reaching the sky in one step occupied his mind.
He also picked up a pen and wanted to write it by himself, but it was far worse than others' thinking, and even his thinking was limited.
Even Zhao Wen was thinking that the answer given in advance is the best, there is nothing better than this, it is completely irresistible temptation.
When the exam time came, all the answer papers were submitted, and the ministers in charge of marking the papers were in the palace next door, and immediately went to work.
"Absolutely, this answer sheet is first class!"
"My job is the best, Mr. Zhong, come and have a look!"
From time to time, there were voices of applause in the hall, presumably this year must be a year full of talented people.
"Hey, this answer sheet——"
"Why is it the same as the last one!"
After a cup of tea, the cheering atmosphere in the hall fell silent, and more and more good test papers were presented, but the answers were all exactly the same, no more, no less, exactly ten copies.
The imperial examination is held every three years in the Daye Dynasty. The emperor will not read all the test papers. After the examiner reads and judges, he will present the top ten papers. The final ranking will be determined by the ninety-five princes, and this year happens to occupy ten places., they all gave the same answer, which is extremely ironic.
"Lord Zhong, look at the last test papers presented to the emperor, which ten are they?"
The several examiners who marked the papers had already begun to sweat, and they all looked like mourners.
Although cheating has nothing to do with them, who wants to be safe and sound, but it is their turn to check the papers for this phenomenon, and joint and several responsibilities must not escape.
You must know that the two most serious things in the Daye dynasty are treason, and cheating in scientific examinations. Once found out and implicated, it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans.
In the end, the ten test papers with the same answer were handed over to Long An.
When the emperor first read the first one, he immediately applauded it, and even asserted that even if he didn't need to read the remaining nine, this candidate could be selected as the champion.
But when he saw the second copy, Longyan Dayue instantly became furious.
When the emperor is angry, there must be blood.
The ten examinees were arrested on the spot and tortured, but the answers they gave were not bad. They just slept at night and received this paper when they woke up in the morning.
If the emperor personally explained the serious case, if he could only give such an answer, it would definitely not work. Therefore, all kinds of tortures and groans and cries in the dungeon sounded day and night, almost killing eighteen of the ten students.Generations of ancestors have been cross-examined.
At night, Wen Mingyun's family of four was sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the Baihua wine brewed last year can also be drunk.
Wen Mingyun was holding the wine glass, the wine in the glass had bottomed out, and she still couldn't finish it.
But Wen Bohan had already said just now that this was the last drink, and it was impossible to allow her to drink again.
Wen Mingyun winked at Wen Qingli, and immediately he understood, the young man immediately got up and dragged his father to recite poems to recite poems, stay away from the small table, so that the third sister could steal wine and drink.
When the father and son came back, Wen Mingyun's face was already flushed, and he was already slightly drunk.
"Ruyi secretly drank again, didn't she? What does it look like for a girl to become a drunk, Madam, don't stop me!" Wen Bohan was very dissatisfied.
The wine that Chen Jie and Wen Mingyun drank together, both of them love this Baihua Niang, belonged to the alliance, so naturally they didn't agree with Wen Bohan, and turned against her: "When you are a girl at home, don't drink to your heart's content, don't you wait until you get married?Do you want to drink again? Look at me, now not only my own drinking is being controlled, but my daughter is also blamed for drinking. "
When Wen Bohan heard her mentioning this matter, he immediately softened his head.
The relationship between the husband and wife is really good, even though he is very caring, but he also understands the suffering that Chen Jie has suffered all these years.
"Ma'am, don't be angry, I'll pour you wine for my husband." He said while sitting beside her, pouring the wine himself, very flexible.
Wen Mingyun covered his lips and snickered, hey, it's cool to have a mother as a shield, so be scolded.
When the family was enjoying themselves, a young servant ran in quickly to announce: "Master, Jin Yiwei is here and has already entered the backyard."
The boy was out of breath, his face was pale, and his voice was trembling, but he managed to keep his voice down, not letting himself yell.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Bohan saw a group of Jinyi guards approaching. The flying fish suits on them were brightly colored, but under the illumination of the lights, they made people panic.
"Master Wen, the servants of your mansion are really well-trained. The Jinyiwei will not let you pass the case to prevent the suspect from escaping, but your servants still come to report. I don't look like an ordinary servant, but a private servant."Soldiers."
The leading man looked very young, no more than 30 years old, with a dignified appearance, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the servant who was passed on was already kneeling on the ground, screaming in pain, a small stone bullet fell on the ground, and jumpedTwice.
"Commander Cao came here in person, but he was far away to welcome him. As for this servant, he is just an ordinary servant, but he walks fast and has no martial arts skills. He is also afraid that my master will neglect you, so he is in a hurry to pass on the news. BesidesJin Yiwei's handling of the case does not allow it to be circulated, and it is only when the evidence is convincing to arrest the traitors. Although Wen is not talented, but a loyal heart can be learned from time to time, Jin Yiwei's actions are probably not in line with the rules."
"Besides, my wife and little daughter are here. It's really against etiquette for you to barge in like this. Tomorrow morning, I will take a copy of it for you!"
Wen Bohan was only surprised for a moment, but quickly recovered his composure, and fought back and forth with Commander Cao without any fear.
Cao Bingzhou sneered: "Lord Wen is indeed the one who gives His Majesty a headache. The etiquette is current, but unfortunately you can't get away today. Just now Dali Temple presented the latest evidence of the fraud case in the imperial examination. Among them, a sinner named Zhao Wen mentioned Lord Wen.And your son-in-law, I'm afraid Mr. Wen will not be able to attend tomorrow morning. Take them away!"
With a wave of his hand, several Jin Yiwei immediately came out, walking over quickly to take Wen Bohan away.
The situation was very dangerous, Chen Jie turned pale, and immediately hugged Wen Mingyun into her arms, wanting to retreat to the side.
Jin Yiwei has become more and more favored in recent years, few people can take the edge, even Wen Bohan can't compete, they can only avoid these evil spirits, and then think of a way.
But before he could retreat, Wen Mingyun had already broken free from her embrace, staggered a few steps, and passed one of the guards in Jinyi.
Immediately she screamed: "Ah, someone touched me, I'm dirty!"
Everyone present was shocked, the Jin Yiwei who was bumped innocently was completely stupefied.
The girl from the Wen family said he was the one who touched her, right?
"Whoever dares to touch my sister, you should step over my corpse first!" Wen Qingli is worthy of being a follower, even if the siblings did not make eye contact in advance, he was the first to react, rushed over, and stoppedIn front of Wen Mingyun.
Wen Mingyun immediately pinched his mother, and Chen Jie also reacted, "We dare not stop you Jin Yiwei from handling the case, but arresting people is arresting people, why do you do this to my daughter? She is still a girl who has not left the court.!"
Wen Bohan was anxious and angry in his heart. He was busy thinking about countermeasures in his heart just now, but he didn't pay attention to that side, for fear that his little daughter would really be entrapped.
"Commander Cao, please take good care of your subordinates. My youngest daughter is in poor health and hasn't been married yet. If something happens to her, even if I beat Deng Wen's drum to complain, I will also sue you for your evil intentions and lead my subordinates to escape.Enter my Wen Mansion and rob the women!" He snapped.
Cao Bingzhou and Wen Bohan had old grievances, Jinyiwei has been acting more and more unruly over the years, not only the imperial censor joined them, but also the old scholars from the Ministry of Rites, among them Wen Bohan was the most important.
This old guy puts on a noble face all day long, so after Dali Temple presented the results of the torture today, he immediately led the Jin Yiwei to arrest him, deliberately not letting the servants pass the news, just to let Wen Bohan be taken away in full viewGo, and let his wife and daughter watch, trying to frustrate his spirit.
Originally thought it was something that could be easily grasped, but unexpectedly there was a twists and turns, and it was still defeated by a woman.
Cao Bingzhou sneered, not at all afraid: "Master Wen, what are you talking about? I think it's a good marriage. Since your little girl is not married, my subordinates are also unmarried. The man is unmarried and the daughter is unmarried. It is a match made in heaven.right."
"You dare to humiliate me?" Wen Mingyun raised his head and looked straight at him.
Her pupils are darker than ordinary people, and the light in the yard is not good, making her look gloomy.
Cao Bingzhou was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to see such a look on a weak woman.
Before he could continue to taunt, the woman suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which just happened to spit on Jin Yiwei's face.
Then he lay down straight, unconscious.
"Mingyun, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, are you okay? Don't scare me!"
"Jin Yiwei is killing people."
There was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, no one dared to move due to the pressure accumulated by Jin Yiwei, but at this time the three girls all vomited blood and passed out, and they were insulted like this, the other masters shouted, and the servants also yelled.Followed by a mess.
"Commander Cao, you Jinyi Guards forcibly broke into Wen's residence, robbed and humiliated my daughter, bandits, don't you know that your Jin Yi Guards don't care about this matter?" Wen Bohan came over and asked in a cold voice.
Originally, he was still worried that his daughter was really at a disadvantage, but since Wen Mingyun vomited blood and passed out, he felt much more at ease.
Look at this posture, it is exactly the same as when he touched porcelain in Xuhou's mansion before, it must be that Wen Mingyun has started to be a demon again.
The author has something to say:
The Northern Wei Dynasty is not the Northern Wei Dynasty that Xianbei split in history, and the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei are also a bit different from history.
It is used here because everyone is familiar with it. If I choose another name, I have to re-introduce the function Barabara, which seems unnecessary.
