Chapter 443 Backstabbing all the way
Chao En's handsome face twisted for a moment, and then it was suppressed again.
If the emperor had always valued him, he would have thought about being loyal to the emperor.
But now, the emperor is unkind, so don't blame him for being unjust.
Chao En took a deep breath, blew out the candle, and went out quietly under the cover of the moonlight.
...
It only took one day to read the papers and copy the names. As soon as the copying was completed, the scholar went straight to Xu's house without stopping.
Jiang Zhiyu took the list and read it quickly. Ji Qing's name was not on it.
Why did it happen to be him? These people are really picky.
Jiang Zhiyu licked her lips: "They haven't left yet, have they?"
The bachelor didn't know why she asked this, and said uncertainly: "Because they haven't left, but even if they did, they should have returned to the Hanlin Academy."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded and said loudly: "Come on, surround the Gongyuan and the Hanlin Academy for me, not a single bug can escape!"
The bachelor was shocked: "Jiang Yushi, what are you doing?"
Before he could finish his words, a servant ran in hurriedly from the door: "Miss, a lot of soldiers are outside, saying that you are using favoritism to block people, and they want to take you to the front of the palace for a confrontation!"
Jiang Zhiyu patted the bachelor who was shocked and opened his mouth: "See, the child is quiet, he must be doing something naughty. He didn't do anything tricky in the examination room. All the back-ups are here. Come on, bachelor, let's go for a trip."
The bachelor followed her and got on the carriage tremblingly.
It is also not his fault that he is so unsteady at his age. This matter is of great importance. In previous years, when people were sent in, they were all tacitly aware and cautious. They have never made trouble in this palace and have to confront each other in public!
If you are not careful, you will lose your head!
The emperor favors Jiang Zhiyu very much. He will not kill her, but that does not mean he will not kill himself!
The longer people live, the less they want to die.
Along the way, the scholar expressed his sincerity to Jiang Zhiyu in a trembling voice.
...
When they arrived at Yu's study, all the ministers had arrived. The person standing next to Xiao Yanli was not Ji Qing as Jiang Zhiyu thought, but just an ordinary young man.
"Okay, everyone is here. Tell me, what happened?"
The emperor looked at Xiao Yanli with a cold gaze.
Xiao Yanli stepped forward and said calmly: "My son, father, was about to return home on the street when this man suddenly rushed out and blocked my carriage, shouting that he was wronged. After my son asked briefly, this man said that his name was Ji Qing, and that he wrote the article, but someone impersonated him."
"My son thought that this matter was of great importance and dared not decide it alone, so he brought him to ask your father for the decision."
"After all, all matters were decided by Jiang Yushi alone, and the people were all Jiang Yushi's people, and Jiang Yushi was appointed by your father..."
A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
The emperor looked up at Jiang Zhiyu: "Jiang Yushi?"
"Your Majesty, I have a question. I just saw the list. How did he know in advance that he was impersonated?"
The scholar said at the right time: "That's right, Your Majesty. As soon as I copied the name, I personally rushed to Xu's house."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yanli couldn't help but chuckle: "Jiang Yushi may not know that the scholar went to Xu's house on his personal horse. Maybe when he arrived at Xu's house, all the ministers present had already seen the list."
The other ministers couldn't help but chuckle.
In the corner where no one cared, the young man's pale face regained some color.
"Personal horse?"
Jiang Zhiyu turned his head to look at the scholar, who said guiltily, "I am old, and the carriage is too fast. I can't stand it."
"So?"
"...donkey cart."
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
[Okay, okay, you have been stabbed in the back all the way.]
[No wonder you were trembling all the way when you spoke. I thought you were afraid of death, but it turns out you are carsick.]
The scholar wanted to make up for it: "Actually, the donkey cart is not slow. It only took me an hour to get to Xu's house." Only
an hour?
An hour is two hours!
What should be done has been done long ago.
Jiang Zhiyu resisted the urge to hold her forehead.
[I am not afraid of opponents like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs.]
Her expression was not concealed at all, and Xiao Yanli looked at her with some pride.
There are so many students, he doesn't believe Jiang Zhiyu can remember all the names.
The time doesn't match, everyone has seen the list, and everyone knows that Ji Qing is not on the list.
But Ji Qing should have been on the list. After taking the article he wrote and finding the traces, Jiang Zhiyu will be speechless.
Who would have thought that this person is Wu Li who is now on the list?
"Is Jiang Yushi only able to find the problem in the time?" Xiao Yanli paused and said unkindly: "Or does Jiang Yushi acquiesce that the person on the list is indeed an imposter?"
In addition to him, the eyes of the Minister of Rites were full of malice.
Didn't he not use his people from the Ministry of Rites? Now that something has gone wrong, he wants to see how Jiang Zhiyu will get back on his feet.
This situation is definitely not easy. Xu Yanli's eyes were burning, and the others couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Zhiyu.
The emperor sat upright, and his expression was unclear.
At this moment, the scholar stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, maybe I copied it wrong because I am old and blurry. This matter has nothing to do with Jiang Yushi!"
Before the others reacted, Jiang Zhiyu said, "Fuck, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yanli also reacted, "Are you trying to take the blame for Jiang Yushi?"
What is this person thinking? Even if the matter is successful, with the emperor's favor to Jiang Zhiyu, at most he will be punished, but if he takes all the blame, he will die.
What favor did Jiang Zhiyu do to him that made him want to give up his life? !
The scholar's heart was pounding at this moment. Is he afraid of death? Who is not afraid?
But after Jiang Zhiyu entered the Hanlin Academy, he wrote a book to save people, and he himself received a lot of favors. If he watched his benefactor being framed and did nothing, he would be unworthy of being a human being!
"Why take the blame? I will admit the mistakes I made."
Although Jiang Zhiyu was also very moved, but...
[Brother, aren't you admitting it for me in disguise?]
The emperor's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly: "Since the matter has been clarified, then..."
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I have something to say." Jiang Zhiyu said.
"First of all, the scholar was just trying to help me out, and there was absolutely no mistake as he said," Jiang Zhiyu raised his hand slightly and picked up the scholar, "Secondly, the Sixth Prince's impersonation is true."
Everyone: "!!!"
Even Xiao Yanli was slightly surprised and asked in surprise: "Did Jiang Yushi admit what he said?"
The Minister of Rites could not help but step forward: "Since Jiang Yushi admitted it, I beg Your Majesty to enforce the law impartially and not let the people of Tianqi feel disappointed!"
