queen drama

Zhao Tingyan did not actually participate in leaking the test questions. Like the secret guards, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple did not obtain any real evidence of Prince Jane's guilt. Zhao Jin quickly pleaded guilty and confessed that the test question was that he misunderstood the question when he was a guest at the Yan Mansion. I got it from Yan Wenzheng's study.

Zhao Jun participated in the trial, and immediately sneered and said, "Since you got it by accident, how did you know it was the topic of this time, and you dare to sell it for 500 taels?"

Zhao Jin was left speechless by the question, so he had to admit that Yan Wenzheng gave the question, and it was Yan Wenzheng who pointed him to a way to make money.Yan Wenzheng has such a "smart and capable" nephew, why can't he plead guilty?

He used to be the chief examiner for many times, and he already had a set of safe ways to promote his own people. When the new emperor ascended the throne, Yan Wenzheng knew that based on his relationship with Prince Jane, he would definitely be tied more closely with Prince Jane, but Zhao Tingyan was cunning and cunning. Hinting and expressing that he just refused to cooperate with him, Yan Wenzheng turned to drag Zhao Tingyan's son Zhao Jin into the water, who knows that Zhao Jin, who is useless, messed up everything, how did the IOU come from, Yan Wenzheng at this moment Haven't figured it out yet!

Yan Wenzheng was severely beaten by Zhao Jinzheng, and there was absolutely no possibility of turning over.After seeing the situation clearly, Zhao Tingyan was thinking about how to deal with it. He has always been a cautious person. Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice has no evidence of his participation in this case, Zhao Jin made such a big mistake, and it is impossible not to implicate him. He is also the chief of the six ministries, and he is the prince of the former emperor. If he resigns first and has a better attitude, the courtiers will intercede for him. The emperor is under pressure and will not really do anything to him. At most, he will blame him for godson Not strict, but Zhao Jin can't keep it no matter what...

This is not the only son.Between his son and the official position, Zhao Tingyan gritted his teeth and chose the official position.

The third day after the announcement of the rankings is the palace examination.At this time, those who can come to the imperial court are all the top students among the numerous students. Zhao Zheng made a test on the spot, and finally settled on the top three.The palace examination this time is slightly different from previous years, because it is to be presented to the imperial court, and the calligraphy on the scroll is generally very particular. However, the number one scholar selected this time is not outstanding in terms of calligraphy, and even the number one scholar himself was surprised. With deep admiration, the emperor doesn't judge people by their words, so what else is he looking at?

The extremely excited No. [-] Scholar and the equally excited No. [-], Tanhua, muttered at the Qionglin Banquet, and their admiration for the emperor was like a surging river.

Tanhua hesitated and said, I think the emperor looks familiar.

This Tanhua had been to the Zhuangyuan Building before, and had glanced at Mr. Mei from afar.

The Zhuangyuan who had also been to the Zhuangyuan building's eyes lit up. Sure enough, who else could have such a demeanor? A red heart is given to the emperor!

Knowing the truth, the number one scholar, the second place in the list, and Tanhua all shed tears and knelt down when they went to thank them. The Jinshi were all headed by these three people, and they all knelt down in unison, just like the day the list was announced, sincerely shouting long live.Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Zheng also felt a little touch, and subconsciously looked beside him, but he didn't see the person he most wanted to see.

Zhao Zheng suddenly remembered that guards cannot go to court.After helping him so much, should he be rewarded with a serious official position in terms of meritorious deeds?

After this case is over, there will be many vacancies in the court. At that time, I will ask the young master to choose for himself. If he dares to refuse, he will be punished until he agrees.

Zhao Zheng was engrossed in thinking of a hundred ways to punish the young master, at this moment Prince Jian Zhao Tingyan came to the palace to confess his crime.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Jin is ignorant and committed a big mistake. I, as a father, cannot escape the blame. Please resign as the head of the six ministries and make atonement for Zhao Jin."

Zhao Tingyan had a dejected face, tears in his eyes, and he was sincere when he scolded his son. He also planned to resign in front of Jinshi, with the intention of restoring the precarious reputation of Prince Jane's mansion.

As soon as he washed his face with tears, some courtiers understood: "Prince Jian was implicated by Zhao Jin and did not participate in it. At Zhao Jin's age, he has already married a wife and had children. How can he be blamed for the mistakes he made?" To Prince Jane? And state affairs cannot be separated from Prince Jane, so please ask the emperor to go online."

This courtier seemed very reasonable. One after another, people from Prince Jane knelt down to beg for mercy. Prince Jane was also ready to express his loyalty with a heart-wrenching heart. The champion of the new department who was at the top stepped in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the grassroots for their lack of status. Above the court, it is not the turn of the grassroots to speak. It's just that the grassroots are fortunate to participate in this scientific examination. I want to ask Prince Jane on behalf of the students. With a few words, I ask the emperor for permission, and ask Prince Jane to help the grassroots."

The champion represents public opinion, Zhao Zheng nodded.Prince Jane looked at the stunned young man in puzzlement.

The number one scholar said: "Caomin heard that Zhao Jin and Mr. Zhao usually live in the palace. Dare to ask Lord Jian, who is in charge of the palace now? Is the man who sells the test questions someone from the prince? Zhao Jin has no official position, so he dares to interfere in the scientific examination. On whose side is it?"

Prince Jane: "..."

It was the first time that Prince Jane was questioned by someone pointing at his nose, and his face was purple and he didn't want to talk to him.

The number one scholar said: "Even if these things have nothing to do with the prince, the grassroots dare to ask the emperor how to deal with the cheating in the scientific examination and the families of the criminals according to the law, and whether they can be pardoned?"

The reason why Zhao Zheng chose this number one scholar was because he admired his political opinions in the article. He never thought that this number one scholar was an upright person, and he said what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared not say. A group of courtiers who wanted to speak for Prince Jane I was shocked by this newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

After the number one scholar asked, Zhao Zheng coughed lightly, and asked Zhao Jun, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, to clarify his doubts. Zhao Jun immediately asked the truth: "According to the law, the family members of the criminal should be exiled for three thousand miles. It's just that Prince Jian is a royal family, and he has made meritorious service to the country. The emperor should indeed be sympathetic."

The number one scholar stubbornly said: "The grassroots are dull, may I ask if resignation is a kind of sympathy compared to exile?"

This is a good question. Prince Jane was about to sweat. Zhao Zheng and Zhao Jun looked at each other and said with a smile, "Yes."

Everyone knows that resignation is indeed much lighter than exile.Prince Jane resigned first, but he pretended to be innocent and sympathetic. When he came to the champion, he unceremoniously exposed that Prince Jane should have been punished.

Fearing that the emperor would not allow it, the number one scholar knelt down and said, "On behalf of this year's candidates, I implore the emperor to be sympathetic to Prince Jane."

The champion of the new department knelt down, and then knelt down together were hundreds of Jinshi who went to court to thank them. They had real talents and knowledge, and hated leaking questions. Prince Jane has nothing to do, who would believe it?Some of them took the exam several times before they passed this time, and they were even more terrified when they thought about it. Maybe they failed in the past because it was all caused by Prince Jian's lineage. To confer an official position is to sacrifice even the future official position.

The number one scholar led the Jinshi to beg, Zhao Zheng was a little surprised, the courtiers above the court looked at each other, these Jinshi can be said to be the victims of the fraud case, who could be more qualified than them to discuss how to deal with Prince Jane, they all said it was a literati The mouth is stronger than the knife, with the number one scholar as the leader, the Jinshi successively detailed the harm of the fraud, and also detailed the handling of the fraud case by the emperors of the past dynasties. In the end, if the emperor did not allow Prince Jane to resign, he would ignore all the people up.

How could Zhao Zheng let go of this opportunity that came to him, and said lightly: "Since the emperor is so clear about righteousness, I can only accept it."

With the emperor's light words, Prince Jane's position as chief of the six ministries came to an end. The key is that no one dared to say no, otherwise he would have to be questioned by Jinshi.

Prince Jane was dumbfounded, he was cheated by a brat!But the point is... the resignation was proposed by himself, how can he go back on his word? ?

Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with the new champion, and when it came time to award the official, he did not throw the champion to the Imperial Academy, but to Yushitai.The emperor thought to himself, maybe this stunned young man can be used for other purposes.

After the court, Zhao Zheng went to look for the young master Meng, who had heard about the verbal battle in the court just now, and the emperor who was waiting to be praised only waited for a sincere sentence from the young master: "Hello, the number one scholar!" Amazing!"

...By the way, the new No. [-] Scholar whose surname is Gou, who has just made a splash, has a name that kills the Quartet called Buli.

Zhao Zheng knew that a certain person loved scholars, and his heart suddenly became sore: "I knew it, Yun'er thought I failed to be the number one scholar."

"what???"

Seeing Mr. Mei, who doesn't come out often and spits sour water when he comes out, the young master almost died laughing, and quickly flattered him, saying, "Although...it's true that I didn't get the first prize, but my husband is one of the top picks. Cough cough, of course my husband is more powerful!"

...that's about the same.

Zhao Zheng was praised by beating around the bush, and was called her husband again. He felt relieved and straightened his back. He held the hand of the young marquis and said seriously: "Xuanyun, now Zhao Tingyan has just taken the post of head of the six departments, and the affairs of the court There are quite a lot, so don’t be careless, do you want to formally enter the court and help me?”
