The two people who were immersed in happiness did not notice that there was a person behind them. After seeing their names on the list, he turned and left.

The man ran straight to the yamen and beat the drum.

The prefect, who was taking a nap, heard the drum and impatiently went to court.

I thought it was just another trivial matter, like the Li family stole the Zhang family's chicken and the Zhao family lost their dog.

But the visitor actually said directly that he wanted to sue the Minister of Rites for cheating in the Spring Examination.

The prefect was so frightened that all his sleepiness disappeared.

This kind of lawsuit against officials was not within his jurisdiction, so he quickly sent someone to notify the Dali Temple to hear the case.

The person in charge of this case is Ning Yuan, the son of Ning Anbo.

Although he is young, he is very capable and impartial, and holds an important position in the Dali Temple.

He brought the student who had filed the complaint to the Dali Temple for interrogation.

Although the student did not have any concrete evidence, every word he said made sense, and Tang Yi did say that he would definitely get into high school, which could be proven by all the students present at the time.

If someone reports a case, it will be tried.

Ning Yuan first sent people to capture Tang Yi and Yang Lin who were celebrating their high school graduation.

Tang Yi then realized that he had said the wrong thing while drunk, but the words had already been spoken and no matter how he explained it, he couldn't explain it.

In addition, Yang Lin was so scared that he confessed to cheating in less than an hour.

Now, Tang Yi couldn't explain it clearly.

But he knew he couldn't admit it. No matter how many tricks the Dali Temple used, he insisted that he did not cheat.

Cheating in the Spring Examination was a serious matter, and with Yang Lin's confession, the matter was confirmed to be true. The Dali Temple quickly reported the matter to the emperor.

The emperor was furious. The Spring Examination was for selecting talents for the court and was the foundation of the country. Yu Zhongxin, as a royal relative and the Minister of Rites, dared to be confused in such a matter. He would never let him off easily.

Soon, Yu Zhongxin was arrested.

Everything happened just like in the previous life.

Jiang Qingwan was extremely anxious when she saw her father was about to enter the palace.

[Dad's coming to the palace to plead for mercy at this time is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. In his previous life, it was because of this that the Emperor was furious and punished Dad as well.]

[Something has happened to the Yu family. Daddy must not go there again.]

But even though she was so anxious that she grabbed Jiang Weizhen's sleeve and shook her head frantically, Jiang Weizhen still entered the palace.

Yu Shulan hugged her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Wanwan, your father will be fine."

How could it be okay? Although Tang Yi and Yu Zhongxin had no special contact in this life.

Yu Zhongxin also took away the painting hanging in the study.

But Tang Yi and the Jiang family have a close relationship, which everyone knows.

Considering the relationship between Jiang Weizhen and the Yu family, people couldn't help but speculate that Tang Yi was a disciple of the Jiang family.

In order to help his brother-in-law, Yu Zhongxin deliberately promoted Tang Yi.

Even if everyone knew that Tang Yi had the ability of a high school student, would people still believe it with a one in ten thousand chance?

Sure enough, Jiang Weizhen never came back after entering the palace.

It was said that the Minister of Rites, the Minister of the Chancellery and others were in the Imperial Study at the time, discussing the fraud committed by Yu Zhongxin.

The Minister of Rites even said that he disagreed when Yu Zhongxin put forward that question.

But Yu Zhongxin insisted. He said that as long as someone could answer the question, he could choose that person without hesitation.

He didn't understand what it meant at the time, but now it seems that it was just for cheating.

Because apart from Tang Yi and Yang Lin, no one else could answer it.

The words of the Minister of Rites indirectly confirmed Yu Zhongxin's guilt.

Jiang Weizhen said that he could guarantee that Yu Zhongxin would never do anything like cheating.

Tang Yi was closer to the Jiang family, but he and Yu Zhongxin had never met, so how could he be involved in cheating?

"Master Jiang guarantees? I'm afraid Master Jiang is also one of them?"

The Minister of the Chancellery said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, I am now doubting whether Jiang Chuyuan, the top scholar, has a clean background."

"Since Minister Yu dared to commit fraud, this must not be his first time, and the most likely beneficiary is none other than Jiang Chuyuan."

"The Minister of the Chancellery is really empty-mouthed. He dares to slander without any evidence. The first place winner of the first round of the imperial examination was conferred by the emperor after passing the palace examination. Could it be that the emperor would also cheat?"

Jiang Weizhen knew that the people in front of him had secretly defected to King Chen, and it was probably King Chen's idea that they came here.

This is specifically designed to deal with me.

Just when the few people were in a stalemate, Yu Zhongxin's servant was caught. He confessed that Yu Zhongxin leaked the information to Yang Lin, the son of the richest man in Jiangnan, for money, and he was the one who passed the information.

All the details of the process are explained clearly.

As for Tang Yi, he just said that it didn't happen to him and he didn't know about it.

But Tang Yi and Yang Lin are close brothers, and Tang Yi is a disciple of the Jiang family, and he also answered the question.

It seems that no matter from which aspect, Tang Yi cannot be separated from the relationship.

Not only him, even the Jiang family can't explain it now.

The emperor was really angry. He could tolerate Jiang Weizhen holding a large army, and was willing to entrust the future of the Yuan Dynasty to him for protection.

But he must not be allowed to get involved in the affairs of the Spring Examination.

He said angrily, "The Spring Examination is a matter of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated. This must be done not only for this year, but also for previous years. Anyone found guilty of favoritism or fraud will be spared."

"Lord Jiang, it's not that I don't trust you, but the relationship between Tang Yi and your Jiang family has been unusual these days. I must give an explanation to the people of the world."

"First, take back the military power from Jiang Aiqing, and Jiang Chuyuan should not deal with the government affairs for now. Let's wait until everything is thoroughly investigated before we make any decisions."

This is to seize the power of the Jiang family, and judging from the emperor's intention, if the Jiang family is really involved in the Spring Examination, they will not be let off easily.

The Minister of Rites and the Minister of the Chancellery looked at each other. They did not expect that things would go so smoothly as expected.

If it weren't for the anger on the emperor's face, they would have thought that the two were acting.

But judging from the situation, the emperor seems to really want to deal with the Jiang family.

It would be perfect if we could use the Spring Examination to bring down both the Yu and Jiang families at once.

After leaving the imperial study, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Chancellery pretended to comfort him.

"Master Jiang, please don't blame us. We just told the truth."

"The innocent are innocent, and this general has a clear conscience." Jiang Weizhen snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.

“No matter how pure a person is, if he has just one stain on his face, he will never be clean again.”

The Minister of the Chancellery looked at Jiang Weizhen's back and said, "Even if we can't bring him down this time, we'll make him suffer."

Jiang Weizhen now has not only the military power in his hands, but also the prestige among the people. Even if there is no evidence to prove that Jiang Weizhen was involved in cheating in the Spring Examination, it can still be proved that he has the slightest connection with it.

It is also enough to erase the people's love for him.

After all, the Spring Examination involves everyone's vital interests.
