Seeing that Han You was about to leave angrily, Qian Ji seemed to have realized something and grabbed the former's sleeve.
"Slow down, slow down."
Qian Ji asked nervously: "Why did you come to see me? Why did you bring the imperial edict with you? What is the content of the imperial edict? Could it be that His Majesty ordered you to help me with the scientific examination?"
Han You was full of anger now. He was sure that Qian Ji just wanted to trick him.
The dignified Minister of Rites personally left the city and took a long carriage ride to visit him at Four Seasons Villa, and even waited for half an hour. Now everything makes sense.
There is a set of procedures for the scientific examination, from topic selection to the final supervising students taking the exam, at least five different government offices are involved, and there are also so-called famous scholars and scholars in Beijing and Zhongshan who select the topics.
There are at least hundreds of people in the five government offices. If we count the odds, as long as the probability exceeds 1%, at least more than 70 people will have access to the test questions.
Not to mention the people who are 100% able to know the content of the examination questions, such as Zuo and Youshilang, Yuanwailang, Langzhong, and Shaoqing. Even if everyone is one percent, if one person comes into contact with it, once it is leaked, the scientific examination will become a mystery. A farce, no different from the previous one.
You must know that all candidates are related to each other, that is, so-called classmates and fellow villagers. If a student from the South knows the content of the examination questions, he will leak the content to his "fellow townsmen" or "common people" " Finally, when the list came out, the first few pages were filled with this group of "fellow townsmen" or "common people", and then they all became officials. They were all officials from the same place.
This is why Qian Ji wants to run away.
It turned out that he had been cheated, and the system was strict. If anyone cheated, the consequences would be extremely serious. The emperor thought it should be done, and no one in the court objected.
It turns out that Qian Ji still underestimated the "courage" of many officials and candidates.
Even if they know that they will be deprived of their honors after cheating, they still seek connections, build friendships, give gifts, and find people who have access to the questions in an attempt to bribe and bribe them.
Even though they would be dismissed from office after learning of the fraud, those officials were still sought out, made friends, received gifts, and were eager to understand the content of the examination questions.
After all, Qian Ji was also the Minister of Rites and had his own news channels. After learning about this incident, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night long.
Now is not the previous dynasty where it was common for people to practice favoritism and malpractice. This is the new dynasty. It is the first year of the emperor's accession to the throne. Once there is a scandal in the scientific examination, Boss Zhou will be humiliated and sent to his grandma's house. How can he, the Minister of Etiquette, be punished? Are all tails alive?
Boss Zhou was a military commander and had never participated in the imperial examination. He had only heard about it, but he didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in the imperial examination. He thought that the imperial examination would make Qian Ji shine and become prime minister and assistant minister.
As everyone knows, this is a hot potato. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She has a fair, impartial and open mind and does not have this ability.
In fact, long before Boss Zhou stated "choose one from the two", Qian Ji had drafted the charter and released the news that this year's scientific examination would be strict and fair. However, based on the feedback, no one was afraid.
So after Boss Zhou said "choose one of the two", Qian Ji immediately went to Four Seasons Villa to seek help from Han You.
Among all the government offices in the capital, only the emperor's own army is the most trusted by Boss Zhou. He wants to involve Yi Daowei and take over most of the "processes", so as to minimize the possibility of fraud.
Because the Yidao Guards are difficult to bribe, and the other reason is that no one knows exactly how many Yidao Guards there are. They only know that there is Han You, and there is also a scapegoat commander who jumped out from nowhere, plus an idle guy. A similar guy.
As for Han You's explanation of why Qian Ji wanted to trick him, it's easy to understand.
The two parties cooperated, with the Ministry of Rites as the leader and the Yi Dao Guard as the assistant. Even if other government offices did not participate, the Ministry of Rites might still reveal the issue.
Finally, the imperial examination scandal occurred. Qian Ji, as the Minister of Rites, must protect his government office. After one push, who will bear the responsibility?
Naturally, Yidaowei was responsible. This was why Han You felt that Qian Ji was trying to trick him.
"Get away!"
Han You pulled him away, almost pushing him down, and yelled: "Let us Yi Dao Guards participate. If something happens, we will take the blame. Qian Ji, Qian Ji, you Qian Ji, do you think I'm a fool?"
"What are you talking about?"
Qian Ji grabbed Han You, with a bitter look on his face: "Go and ask around in the shop, what kind of character am I, Qian Ji, why would I call Yi... a sneak attack?"
Halfway through, Qian Ji saw Han You showing his neutral position, pulled out the imperial edict from Han You's arms, turned around and ran, opening the edict as he ran, hiding behind the main chair and squatting to read the edict.
Qian Ji was dumbfounded.
Han You was also dumbfounded.
Qian Ji was dumbfounded because the imperial edict was blank, just an imperial seal.
Han You was dumbfounded because this guy was a minister!
The dignified minister actually... attacked him secretly and snatched the imperial edict?
Their eyes faced each other, one was old and the other was young, with dull expressions on their faces.
Qian Ji: "Why...is it blank?"
Han You: "How often do you...do this?"
The two continued to look at each other, Qian Ji frowned sharply, and looked down at the imperial edict again. Han You was dumbfounded, staring at Qian Ji's old and disrespectful face.
"no."
Han You was really confused: "Don't the Ministry of Rites care about face the most? Can a person like you really be in charge of the Ministry of Rites? You are too shameless."
"What are you talking about!"
Qian Ji slapped the imperial edict on the table and shouted angrily: "If I want face, how can I take charge of the most important government office?"
Han You was stunned for a moment, then stood in awe and raised his hands to Qian Ji. He said that only Wu Lei could defeat him.
The two looked at each other again, both looking worried, and sat on the stool at the same time.
Han You sighed: "The Yidao Guards want to participate in the scientific examination, so I took the initiative to volunteer."
Qian Ji sighed: "At first, I asked you Yi Dao Wei to help me, but I never thought of letting you top the tank."
Han You said depressedly: "I hope the scientific examination can be fair and just, and with a certain degree of certainty."
Qian Ji said depressedly: "The job is done, so I don't need you to guard the jar. The credit belongs to you. If the job is done badly, I will not favor the Ministry of Etiquette. After taking the blame, I will drag someone from the Ministry of Rites to engage in malpractice for personal gain and be buried with him. "
Han You looked at Qian Ji.
Qian Ji looked at Han You.
Han You: "Mr. Qian is really determined to die and doesn't want our Yidao Guards to take the blame?"
Qian Ji: "Colonel Han really has a way to put an end to fraud and scandals and make the administration of science fair and just?"
The old man and the young man stared at each other with doubts on their faces, and neither one believed the other.
Han You frowned and said, "Okay, you swear, if you lie to me, I will be struck by thunder!"
"Okay, I swear, if you go back on your word, you will be struck by thunder." Qian Ji looked at Han You: "You swear, if you lie to me, you will be quartered."
Han You said with a ruthless look on his face: "Okay, if I lie to you, I will cut my body into pieces. If you swear again, if you lie to me, your whole family will be killed!"
Qian Ji was even more ruthless than him: "I lied to you, and my whole family will die. You have to swear again, you lied to me, and you won't have a baby without your buttocks!"
"Okay, I'm going to lie to you. I, Han You, gave birth to a child with no buttocks, but if you want to lie to me, you will give birth to a child with all buttholes!"
"Okay, my child is covered in buttocks, and your whole family is covered in sores."
"Your whole family will die without a burial place!"
"Your whole family is dead!"
"Your whole family..."
"Your whole family..."
