The Palace of Peach and Plum - Chapter 80
All the so-called frauds have to be exposed after the imperial examination, only then can they be lethal.
So at the time of the imperial examination, everything was fairly calm.
Ling Wei wanted to get this out before the imperial examination. But after thinking about it, there is no benefit. His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that although he was disappointed, he still missed the relationship between his father and son, and did not intend to make the matter worse.
Ling Wei certainly wouldn’t bet whether he or Han Wang had a greater weight in the Emperor’s heart, and who was stupid than anyone else.
It’s best to stay safe and stable like this. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor already knew about this, so the impression points were deducted.
The bear kid continued to do it, and sooner or later he would kill himself, he was afraid of a fart.
Just a little aggrieved.
Then, he heard that in the court hall, Qin|Wang and Han Wang had a big fight. Qin|Wang beat Han Wang severely, and the beaten Han King couldn’t get up for a few days.
Quiet! Little angel GJ!
Ling Wei is refreshed, and he walks with wind.
“Qin|Wang, it’s still good.” Zhao Zhao stroked his beard.
“Human temperament.” Ling Wei nodded.
Zhao Zhaobai glanced at Ling Wei: “He is venting your anger, right?”
“Don’t you vent your anger to the teacher and the adults?” Ling Wei smiled, “However, the students felt that Qin|The King was venting his majesty. This should be instructed by his majesty.”
Zhao Zhao sighed: “Your Majesty is also sad.”
Although the other colleagues didn’t talk to each other, their expressions were much better than those of Heiyun’s previous performances, and they were obviously relieved that Han Wang was beaten.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When Ling Wei knew that he might have been cheated, he naturally notified the teacher and colleagues to deal with it together, so as not to get confused.
The so-called depression alone is not as good as the depression of the others. By the way, I can also see if any of my colleagues are really stupid, cough, and loyal to the Han King enough to bring the whole family to death.
This time, he didn’t expect to be tempted, and there was no one who was crazy enough.
Seeing the scared faces of the teachers and colleagues turned pale, Ling Wei suddenly felt much better.
This is the benefit of sharing.
However, Ling Wei stopped the angry colleagues and didn’t let them trouble the small merchants and vendors.
“Obviously, the messenger behind did not know that the first set of test papers was not adopted by your majesty. It should be said that which set of test papers was used by your majesty last did not even know the person who gave the test before the test began.” Ling Wei said , “Your Majesty means that if you know it, it will be done. After all, this matter will definitely come out. The adults just pretend to be ignorant. After all, your Majesty needs to be stable.”
“Master Ling is really good-natured.” One of the examiners said, “I can’t swallow this breath. If this strategy succeeds, all of us will have to eat melons!”
“Master Li also knows that imperial examination fraud is a major event. Your Majesty really doesn’t want to cause panic.” Ling Wei continued to look like a good man, “What’s the benefit of a big trouble? As long as your Majesty understands our grievances. The world is your majesty’s world.”
Examiner Li suppressed his anger: “Master Ling is right.”
This world is the emperor’s world, and the king of Han is the emperor’s son. The emperor understood that he was unwilling to deal with the King of Han. It might as well bear this breath and leave the impression of aggrieved emperor, maybe there are other benefits.
As for the King of Han, hum.
Zhao Zhao looked at his gentler students with relief in his heart. Seeing that the silly, sweet and reckless boy at the beginning is now more and more suitable for officialdom, his old man’s heart is extremely relieved.
As for the move of Han Wang this time, he didn’t take it seriously.
Han Wang’s methods seem to be hidden, but they are all people who have experienced many imperial examinations. This method is not invisible. Although Ling Wei first discovered this time, it was because Ling Wei was the author of the question. These hawkers’ behaviors that are unreasonable, they actually found out, but after knowing that Ling Wei was investigating the matter, the others stopped.
Han Wang treated everyone as fools, he himself was a fool.
This incident was revealed, not because it was not as simple as Ling Wei or offended Ling Wei, but because all the examiners present were offended.
The King of Han emphasized literature over martial arts, but he did not value real scholars. He actually didn’t pay attention to the “Senior Scholar” present, and he didn’t think that these scholars who were full of thoughts could pose any threat to him.
Compared to literati, he believed that military commanders could pose a threat to him.
This kind of ambivalence is also quite normal. Putting more emphasis on culture than military is not just thinking that generals are a big threat.
But obviously, literati are not easy to provoke.
The examiners here are all role models in the minds of scholars. Which one is not a lot of students? The literati’s fellow relationship network is terrible. Look at Ling Wei being chased by the scholar Xie Lin’an.
The imperial examination cheating by Han Wang was not only for Ling Wei’s future, but also for the future and even the lives of all the examiners present. Don’t blame others for treating him as an enemy.
As soon as the network of examiners here spread out, most of the literati who were officials in the central government had friendship with them, and the life of King Han became more and more sad by his own work.
He offended most of the military commanders in the DPRK during the war against Burma, and offended most of the civilian officials in the imperial examination. Then he really had to play with the big family behind him.
I wonder if the family behind him expected this situation?
Maybe it was expected. The aristocratic families that did not follow the emperor had a lower and lower status in the central government, that is, they looked better in terms of face. When they are not sure, they want to pull down a group of people and let their own people come to the top.
I didn’t even think about it and I didn’t succeed.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The examiners suffocated their stomachs, and became more serious when invigorating the exam and when approving the papers. It seemed that the examination room had very strict discipline and the appraisal of the papers was very fair or even strict.
Candidates who have gone through several imperial examinations wipe their sweat, but they can’t tell. They all say that Ling Master is amiable and that’s how to do business.
How terrible.
Well, they attributed the difference in the atmosphere of the exam to Ling Wei’s being too serious.
Ling Wei said that he was wronged. It was because the examiners were in a bad mood. How could he be able to change the mood and handling of all examiners.
But no one believes him. Because the other examiners are old faces, even if they are not the spring test examiners, they are also some kind of autumn test examiners.
As the only stranger in the examiner team, Ling Wei must have changed because of Ling Wei.
Ling Wei, a person who is usually not serious, has become a super serious person in the eyes of others, and he is helpless.
The expedition time passed day by day and soon ended.
Hanwang and his party waited for the examinees who had bought the reference book catalog to discover that the test papers had leaked, and waited for the examinees to demonstrate.
However, nothing happened.
Candidates waited quietly for the list, completely unpopular.
This shouldn’t be. Is it because the scholars who bought the bibliography haven’t read it carefully, so they didn’t find it? Or to say that you have discovered that you are afraid of being involved, so you choose not to say it?
But if you don’t tell me, can’t I ask the trustee to talk about it?
So some people began to rumors that this time the scripture test paper leaked the questions, and also came up with a bibliography.
Then the rumors didn’t spread. Everyone thought it was a trick to hype the books in the store.
shit. Fraud is a big deal. It’s not someone who is attracted to someone’s daughter and can just say that although other people are very upset, the law can’t do anything to them.
There is no hard hammer for fraud. Can you talk nonsense?
There are so many scholars taking the exam, even if you don’t remember them all, you still know that the texts listed on the book list have not been tested.
Even the scholars who bought the book list and had a fluke mentality, finally found out that there was not much use for them.
“This bibliography is indeed complete.” A scholar said sarcastically, “The four books and five classics tested are all included.”
“No, even all the annotated versions are included.” Another scholar also sneered.
Others saw it, yes, not all versions are included.
When Hanwang heard the report, it was wrong, why all the versions were included.
After checking, he found that besides his family selling “catalogs”, there are several other sellers selling “catalogs”, and they are more fascinating than him.
His people alluded to Ling Wei, and the “catalogs” and even the “examination questions” sold by other people were offensive to other people, from the chief examiner Zhao Zhao to the three aunts and six women who served tea and water.
Putting all the catalogs together, almost all of them are really included.
Han Wang was so angry that he smashed two cups. At this time, if he didn’t know that his “drug scheme” had been discovered, and used such a despicable method to resolve the subsequent play, he would be really stupid.
Even if the exam questions were changed, he might have pulled out that Ling Wei sent a servant to sell fake exam questions and fake reference books. Even if you can’t provoke Ling Wei, you still have to make him feel uncomfortable.
Now all the examiners and even all the officials of the Ministry of Rites, including the “family and friends” of the gatekeeper, have been sold. Did he sue everyone?
It’s nonsense, it’s obvious that unscrupulous merchants are pulling tiger skins as a banner, in order to sell things and mess around.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The imperial examinations were put on the list smoothly, and there was no fart.
Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your Majesty, Uncle, can you change someone for this kind of trouble in the future? You see that the officials are tired, the dark circles are coming out.” Ling Wei pointed to his eye sockets pitifully.
“You are my junior. If you don’t do troublesome things, who will do it?” Li Li didn’t even give him a straight eye. “If you are tired, go back and rest. Qiong Linyan will be more serious for me, don’t lose my face.”
“Can you not go? The last time Qionglin Yanchen was besieged and intercepted, it left a deep psychological shadow on the minister!”
“roll!”
“Zunzhi, the minister is gone. Uh, can’t you not go?”
“Pop!” Li Li rolled up the book and knocked it on Ling Wei’s head. “To cheer me up, isn’t it just making things difficult? Call me all back!”
“Weichen abides by the edict.” Ling Wei bowed his head down and prepared to get out.
Li Li called to stop him: “By the way, you have three sets of test papers left for publication, just say it is a spare test paper, so that those who fail the rankings will practice their hands.”
“Three sets? Not four sets?”
“Do you still want to throw the first set out to cause trouble?”
“No, no, lip service.” Ling Wei really didn’t react for a while.
Li Li waved his hand to drive him away, and said with a smile: “I really don’t let me worry at all.”
Ling Wei rushed out of the palace, and as soon as the paper was published, he abused the candidates referred to this time.
I originally thought that the question of the Scriptures test paper was very abnormal and very mind-conscious. As a result, I saw that there are still three sets, which are randomly selected.
Where’s the perversion, is this still a human?
Later, news came out that this pervert was Ling Wei.
Oh, Ling Wei, the big abnormality of the three yuan and the first, the perfect score of Jingyi?
No wonder then. The question he asked, maybe he himself thought it was too simple.
Look at the trust that other examiners place in him. All four sets of test papers are written out by him alone. If you ask someone next to him, one set of test papers will be exhausted.
If it were not for the chief examiner or Ling Wei’s teacher, they thought Ling Wei was embarrassed.
No wonder your Majesty rejected all the disagreements and wanted Ling Wei to be the deputy chief examiner. See how efficient this is and how much things can be saved.
King Han also understood, why his bibliography is useless, and his affectionate has four sets of test papers for his father to draw before the test. With this one-fourth chance, there is nothing to do if you don’t get it.
If he was drawn, wouldn’t he be able to bring Ling Wei down?
However, Ling Wei found his way to a dead end. In order to show his ability, he released all four sets of test papers. Isn’t he always planted now?
This is all Ling Wei is too arrogant and asked for it hahaha! This king wants to wait for others to find out that one of the test papers really overlaps with the bibliography, and then let someone impeach him!
But not, still not, still not.
Everyone just talked about Ling Wei’s perversion, and didn’t talk about similarities or fraud.
Han Wang was puzzled, why is nobody talking about it?
He bought the four sets of test papers and took a look, mother, these four sets of test papers are all different from the set of bibliography he got out.
So Ling Wei actually came up with five sets of questions and threw four sets out, but one set was not thrown out?
In other words, he was deceived at all, and there is no such fifth set of questions at all?
Or Ling Wei knew it a long time ago, so he ruined the fifth set of questions?
The King of Han fell backward in anger.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Is your eldest nephew stupid?” Ling Wei was drunk once and couldn’t help asking, “Or, this is not your majesty’s species at all? You made a mistake? You think even your second nephew and eldest nephew are the same Father and mother have different levels of IQ and EQ.”
Li Yin couldn’t help rolling his eyes: “The species must be the emperor’s brother, don’t talk nonsense. Maybe… it may be the one you often say, genetic mutation. It will be normal later.”
“Well, let’s not mention this.” Ling Wei said, “Are you going to the frontier again?”
“The Northern Territory is a bit unstable.” The Northern Territory is Li Ying’s base camp, and it is only natural to send him there, “Sorry.”
“I’m sorry, don’t be so bitchy.” Ling Wei took another sip of wine, “Be careful.”
“I understand.” Li Ying has never had this kind of reluctance before going out. He has always longed for war. Sure enough, after having a family, the whole person is different.
Ling Wei was also a little depressed. Parting is always sad. However, Li Ying has his career, and he is not a bitter woman waiting in a boudoir, so depressed and drinking a drink, he just forgot to talk about it.
Soon after the Qionglin banquet, Li Yin left Beijing and went to the Northern Territory to find the troubles of the group of fools who came to rob again. Ling Wei stayed at home and also encountered
Some trouble.
“Princess Concubine?” Ling Wei pointed to his nose after listening to the princess, “Ask me?”
“Of course I’m asking you.” Princess Chang Le glared at Ling Wei. “The empress means that although the princess wants to have a suitable family background, she must also get along with the prince. You know the prince best, and you should know what the prince likes. Bar?”
Ling Wei smiled dryly and said: “The empress is very open-minded. It’s just…I think the prince is still young, I probably haven’t considered this matter yet.”
The prince was still pestering him to eat yesterday. It seems that because he has grown up, many snacks are not allowed to eat, the greedy prince can only come to Ling Wei who is still doting him as a child to beg for food.
“Where is it young?” Princess Chang Le sighed and said quietly, “You think they are all the same as you.”
Ling Wei immediately felt a chill of hair standing upside down, and hurriedly switched the topic: “The empress must have selected a few families, right? If you want the prince to choose, at any rate you know the range.”
“The concubine of the Deng family of your teacher’s wife, the concubine of your sister-in-law’s family of Cheng, and the concubine of General Ningxian.” Princess Chang Le said.
Ling Wei thought for a while and said, “Why is there no Liu family?”
“Niang Niang is open-minded, it is not a good thing to say that the honor is too much.” Princess Chang Le sighed.
Ling Wei smiled bitterly: “Yeah, it’s not a good thing for the honorable pet to be too much, the empress is really embarrassed.”
Princess Chang Le frowned: “What does this mean?”
Ling Wei hesitated for a while: “Doesn’t my mother think… our family… also soon… the honor is too much?”
Princess Chang Le was stunned for a moment: “What?”
“Right now…not yet, but when the prince is enthroned, our family…”
Princess Chang Le thought for a while, it seemed that this was really the case.
His eldest son is in charge of the military, and he is also the grandfather of the country. He is still an iron man. He will be more powerful in the future. Not to mention his second son. The emperor keeps mentioning him to the emperor, and he is trusted and even relied on by the prince. , And Qin|Wang, cough cough, don’t mention this.
Thinking about it this way, even though the Ling family seems to be hidden from many capable families, but if the prince becomes the throne, it will suddenly become very conspicuous.
“But our Ling family doesn’t have…” Princess Chang Le pursed her lips. “Either the Deng family or the Cheng family has a relationship with our family. Isn’t the empress also…”
It’s very possible that the mother and the child will look at each other.
The queen must have seen the situation after this, so two of the selected families are related to the Ling family.
Why don’t you want to tie the Ling family closer? It’s just that the approach is more euphemistic.
And she also singled out a family that had nothing to do with Ling’s family, and let Princess Chang Le take a look at it first. Maybe it’s still there. If Princess Changle sees it and wants to refuse, she can also expose the matter in a good voice, right?
“The son thinks that at least the queen can’t be in the Cheng family, it’s better for us.” Ling Wei sighed, “but I don’t know what the Cheng family thinks. If they want to fight for the queen, mother is not good to be a villain. . And it’s best to discuss this matter with your eldest brother. He is the head of the Ling family. The teacher’s wife… I think both the teacher and the teacher’s wife are sober people. Picked out.”
What Ling Wei meant was that the Cheng family’s mind might not be sober after encountering such a good thing.
Nor is Ling Wei pessimistic. Ling Wei didn’t have much contact with Cheng’s family. After all, the one from Cheng’s family from Chengluan was out of town, and the one in the capital was not in the same room as Chengluan, and they didn’t usually have close contact with each other.
Even if it was Cheng Luan’s house, Ling Wei, the younger uncle, couldn’t get much closer to the Cheng family.
But Ling Wei always felt that his sister-in-law was not bad either, it was too in line with the characteristics of an ancient woman, like treating himself, nephew, and his brother, all made this modern little uncomfortable.
But it doesn’t matter if the two families don’t live together, and he doesn’t deal with Cheng Luan often.
But if the prostitutes of the Cheng family have similar personalities to Cheng Luan, it will definitely be a problem to be a queen.
It’s just that it’s impossible for him to speak out loudly about this kind of thing, so let the eldest brother decide.
He explained to his eldest brother in advance that even if the Cheng family had a queen, it had nothing to do with their Ling family. Don’t make the Ling family look like the queen’s family.
After Ling Yun returned home, he heard what his mother and brother said, and said with a black face: “Mother should push this matter away. Regarding the prince’s concubine,
Just leave the empress to worry about, if our family is not in the court, it doesn’t matter if we get involved. My second brother and I are both highly reused by your majesty. What is it like to let us intervene? “
When Princess Chang Le heard Ling Yun say this, she also reacted.
She is not an ordinary princess whose husband and son are both leisurely in the family. Her husband does not mention that his son is the humeral minister of his majesty. If she intervenes in the prince’s affairs, will the prince ascend to the throne in the future, will he be jealous of them?
Although the prince trusts Ling Wei and the Ling family very much now, that is because the prince is still the prince, not the emperor.
Even if the prince fell in love with the daughter who was related to the Ling family, it was the prince himself, and it had nothing to do with them.
“But how can I push this matter with the queen?” Princess Chang Le was embarrassed.
Ling Yun smiled and said: “Mother can just say it straight. I have been with Jintang for a long time, and I think he has a good attitude towards your Majesty and Niangniang. Besides, since Niangniang said directly to her mother, I don’t want Liu Jiarong to spoil too much. Yes, then the mother said straightforwardly, the empress also understands.”
Although Princess Chang Le hadn’t dealt with the queen for several years, her skills were a bit rusty, and she didn’t expect so many at a time, but when the two brothers Ling Yun Lingwei mentioned something, they slowly remembered their previous skills.
She immediately entered the palace and bluntly went home and listened to the words of her two sons, thinking that both of her sons were serving as high officials, and it was not good for her to intervene in the queen’s affairs. In the future, if someone thinks that it is because the queen’s family is grateful for her recommendation, will anyone say that her two sons climbed up by nepotism? This is unbearable, absolutely unbearable.
Empress Liu listened to Princess Chang Le’s words and couldn’t laugh or cry, so she stopped mentioning this matter.
I don’t know, Empress Liu told Princess Chang Le that a few more candidates were added, and there were ten candidates. The family of the seven added people has little to do with the Ling family.
After Ling Wei knew, he was relieved.
Empress Liu, is it really just to test their minds? Or is this the emperor wants to test it?
Think carefully, but don’t think about it.
