Shangguan smiled proudly: "Yunliang, you didn't expect that one day you would fall into the hands of your own daughter!"
"From now on, I will take your seat!"
Shangguan Ming brought Yun Yan, Yan Yunliang and others back to the imperial city and went straight to the palace.
All the way to the Imperial Garden, when he saw the bright yellow figure, Shangguan Ming knelt on the ground with a plop, his eyes full of burning ambition: "The humble minister Shangguan Ming has fulfilled your Majesty's mission and brought back the sinner Yun Liang!"
The other ministers waiting in the imperial garden were shocked when they saw Yun Liang losing too much blood.
Yunliang actually ran away!
Things have to start in the next morning.
Yun Liang was absent due to illness, and when they were about to return to the palace after going to court, King Ze appeared in the palace and told His Majesty that he had discovered that his concubine had been kidnapped by Yun Liang, and that Yun Liang might have a conspiracy.
Then Shangguan Ming took the initiative to ask for orders to pursue him.
So they, a group of ministers, waited for the news in the imperial garden and had lunch together.
Shangguan Ming handed over several more letters and a document.
"Your Majesty, I have noticed Yun Liang's conspiracy a few days ago. I sent people to investigate and found out that he communicated with neighboring countries, transferred his family property to neighboring countries, forged a false identity, and prepared to defect."
"Yunliang is the Minister of Rites of his country. He knows many secrets of Yanchi and he defected to another country. His heart is to be punished!"
Yun Yaoyao took the letters and documents and glanced at them carefully. They were all conclusive evidence.
Shangguan Ming added: "Wei Chen went after Yun Liang this time and found that he also had a group of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, Yan Fangfei acted out of righteousness and rescued Yun Liang, and the situation was under control!"
Yun Yanyan looked like she was in shock. She wiped her tears weakly and bowed: "Your Majesty, my sinful father has done such an outrageous thing. Although I can't bear it, I can only kill my relatives out of justice to keep Yan Chi safe."
Tu Shanze caressed Yun Yanyan's back: "Don't be afraid, Yan'er. This matter is not your fault. Your Majesty will understand you."
Soon, among the ministers, some members of the Zewang Party appeared, filled with righteous indignation.
"Your Majesty, Yun Liang colluded with other countries and attempted to escape from the Yanchi Dynasty. He should be punished for his crime!"
"Shangguan Shilang has made great contributions to recovering the criminal. The post of Minister of Rites is vacant. I suggest that Shangguan Shilang can take over temporarily."
Officials from the Ministry of Rites also came forward one after another and said: "Shangguan Shilang abides by his duties in the Ministry of Rites. He is a virtuous and prudent minister. He is a minister of the country. Weichen suggests that Shangguan Shilang should take over the post of Minister!"
"I second the proposal!"
Yun Yaoyao took a sip of tea, her eyes dim and unclear.
First, King Ze came forward, and then Shangguan Ming asked for orders to pursue the person and produce evidence of the crime. Concubine Yan side righteously killed her relatives, and all the ministers petitioned together.
How logical and orthodox.
It seems that King Ze and Shangguan have taken the Ministry of Rites into their hands, and they are bound to win today!
"My dear friends, what you said is indeed reasonable. The Ministry of Rites cannot live without a minister for a day..." Yun Yaoyao put down her tea cup calmly.
Shangguan Ming raised his head and felt happy in his heart. After planning for a long time, the position of Minister was finally his!
"But..." The king's voice suddenly changed again, "My Lin Aiqing also has something to say."
Among the crowd, a slender figure as tall as a bamboo strode forward, with the wind blowing from his feet, followed by a group of people.
Lin Qing raised his hands and saluted, and wrote sonorously: "Lin Qing, a humble minister, sees your Majesty!"
The appearance of Lin Qingti stunned everyone present.
Half a month ago, Lin Qingti was seriously injured by an assassin and was bedridden. He was not going to go to court in half a month. News that he was critically ill came out from time to time in the Lin Mansion.
Now that he appeared here in high spirits, how could he look injured? !
When Shangguan Ming saw Lin Qingti, he felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring down from his head. He vaguely felt that the situation was getting out of control.
"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my duty and collected the evidence of the guilty minister Yun Liang, and now present it to Your Majesty!"
Lin Qingti presented the evidence, and a frightening power suddenly burst out from his body, speaking word by word.
"Your Majesty, Yun Liang took advantage of his position to change the test papers of thirty-six poor candidates. He is cheating in the imperial examination and cannot be punished!"
"Xiao Liang, an examinee from a poor family, participated in the examination six years ago. Because the examination papers were changed, his name was lost. The person who replaced his examination papers passed the examination, participated in the palace examination, and is now an official in the court and serves as the Imperial College Superintendent!"
"Wang Rihan, a poor candidate..."
"When a candidate from a poor family is listening to the cold..."
"Poor candidates..."
Every time Lin Qingti said a name, someone walked out from behind him.
It wasn't until he mentioned the names of eleven candidates from poor backgrounds that Lin Qingti stopped. There was anger and grief in his eyes as he continued.
"The remaining twenty-five..."
"Sun Heng, a student from a poor family, failed the exam six years ago because his exam papers were changed. Three years later, when he went to Beijing to take the exam, he encountered bandits and died at the hands of the bandits."
"Li Tan, a student from a poor family, failed the exam six years ago because his exam papers were changed. Three years later, on the way to Beijing to take the exam, he ate and slept in the open, drank unclean water, and died of intestinal disease."
"Nan Mu, a student from a poor family, took part in the joint examination in Gongyuan three years ago. He suffered from intestinal illness during the examination on the 9th. He finally managed to survive the examination. When he learned that he had failed the examination, he was so frustrated that he hit the wall and died on the spot."
"Lu Jing, a student from a poor family..."
The remaining twenty-five were all students from poor families who had accidents, big or small, and were no longer in the world after they failed because their test papers were changed.
Those who have stolen the lives of poor students "are so proud of the spring breeze that they can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." Those who have been stolen may have to retake the exam with great difficulty, or accept their fate in despair, or die on the way to retake the exam.
How could such a situation not arouse people’s anger!
Yun Yaoyao, who had long known about the imperial examination cheating case from Lin Qing's letter, couldn't help but be deeply touched after hearing these words and seeing the eleven remaining poor students.
How difficult were the ancient imperial examinations?
How difficult is it for students from poor families to rely on the imperial examination to change their destiny?
In the torrent of history, these poor students are just insignificant grains of sand, making up the understatement in the history books of later generations: "The imperial examination is as difficult as reaching the sky."
And in this era, a grain of sand falling on the head of every poor student is a mountain that can crush them.
Now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, I am even more shocked.
Yunliang, you really deserve to die!
"Lin Qingti!" Yun Yaoyao stood up, her body tall and straight, her awe-inspiring momentum, her bright golden dragon claw robe dragging on the ground, flying like flames.
"I'm here!" Lin Qingti knelt on the ground.
"I am very heartbroken about this case of cheating in the imperial examination. Sir Lin said that you have done a good job in solving the case. I now appoint you as the Minister of Rites. You will not allow such injustice to happen again during your tenure. Can you do it?"
Lin Qingti met Yun Yaoyao's gaze with a stern look: "Stay in your position, seek your position, and fulfill your responsibilities! During my tenure, I must fulfill my responsibilities as the Minister of Rites, and I will do my best to wipe out the injustice in the imperial examination." , and be fair to all students!"
"good!"
The autumn wind was fierce, and all the ministers knelt down. When they raised their heads, they could see the king's unparalleled majesty more clearly.
Yun Yaoyao glanced at them sideways: "I now appoint Lin Aiqing as the Minister of Rites. Do you have any opinions?"
The ministers looked at each other.
Cheating in the imperial examination is a major matter involving the country and the country. Lin Qingti directly exposed the matter and brought justice to these poor students.
What Shangguan Ming did was nothing compared to what Lin Qingti did!
Even if he is a member of the Zewang Party, there is no reason to refute it.
They shouted in unison: "Your Majesty's move is a wise move, and I have no objection at all!"
Yun Yaoyao looked at Shangguan Ming again, with deep dissatisfaction and resentment in his eyes at this moment.
"Shangguan Ming, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, you were completely unaware of what Yun Liang did and made thirty-six students from poor families suffer such injustice. I really doubt your ability!"
Shangguan Ming crouched on the ground, full of fear: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Yun Yaoyao looked at the other courtiers again and smiled faintly, making people's hair stand on end.
"I didn't expect that among my ministers, there would be people who cheated in imperial examinations and stole other people's lives..."
Next, Yun Yaoyao sentenced all of them to death based on the list given by Lin Qing!
After all the blood was washed away, all the ministers were horrified.
But it happened that His Majesty's death sentence this time was just and justified, and it was in accordance with the will of the people. They had to praise the wise king!
Tu Shanze looked calm and relaxed. He raised his hands and praised His Majesty for his wisdom, but in fact he almost broke his teeth.
Rounding it all off, it doesn’t mean that his hard work was in vain, not only did he cause a lot of trouble, but he also made a wedding dress for others!
Yun Yaoyao looked at the saucy peacock who had secretly broken her guard and smiled lightly.
When she asked Lin Qingti to pretend to be assassinated, she planned to use him as a trump card against Yun Liang.
Pretending to be critically ill, he secretly searched and collected evidence against Yun Liang.
Under the double pressure of Tu Shanjin and Tu Shanze, Yunliang would be unable to survive in the court sooner or later. After a brief analysis, she guessed that the old boy Yunliang would run away.
So he asked the Long Shadow Guards to keep watch day and night, and finally caught him escaping.
Let Lin Qingti officially appear today and use Yun Liang's evidence to make a killing!
King Ze, King Ze, you didn’t expect that this time, she was in the atmosphere!
