He also liked reading, but as a slave, it was impossible for him to pass the imperial examinations.
Therefore, he placed all his hopes on his younger brother, and sent all the money he earned back home so that his younger brother could go to school.
Year after year, as his brother finally reached the last step, he thought he would get news about his high school admission.
But unexpectedly, the news was that he was caught cheating and died of heart palpitations.
He couldn't accept this fact and asked around, but all the information he got was the same.
Finally, he met a man who said that he was also a student. He saw with his own eyes that it was Jiang Chuyuan who slandered his brother, and Yu Zhongxin chose to cover up for his nephew.
He was furious and wanted to question Lord Yu, but he didn't.
The man told him to wait for the opportunity and that he would be able to avenge his brother one day.
This wait lasted until the next spring examination, when that person came looking for him.
"If you still don't believe it, your brother's test paper and the note are still in the Ministry of Rites. They are well documented."
Jiang Chuyuan's words were like a last bucket of cold water, chilling him to the core.
He understood that he was being used.
"My lord, I'm sorry."
He seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
The Yu family treated him so well, but he was blinded by hatred.
[So there's this connection. No wonder Mo Shu is acting like a madman.]
Seeing that the situation on the field had completely reversed, Yu Shulan curled her lips.
When she knew from Jiang Qingwan's thoughts that there was something wrong with the ink book, she sent someone to investigate.
Now I understand why he did this.
Mo Shu is the key figure in the whole incident. If he doesn't change his words, it will be difficult for my brother to get out of this situation.
"Who told you that Li Xiangwen was killed by me?"
Jiang Chuyuan asked coldly.
Mo Shu woke up and hurriedly looked at the crowd, but the people who were there just now were nowhere to be seen.
"I didn't know him. He said he was a student from Runan and was a good friend of Xiang Wen. He also had a token of Xiang Wen's love, so I believed him."
Hearing this, Jiang Chuyuan was a little disappointed, but he also guessed that since this person was sent by King Chen, he would definitely not leave any evidence behind.
Mo Shu has never even seen the person behind the scenes and cannot testify, so there is no need to continue investigating.
"Sir, I have finished asking questions."
Lord Lu didn't expect this reversal, he scolded.
"Mo Shu, you cheated in the Spring Examination and framed an official of the imperial court. Do you acknowledge your crime?"
"I know my guilt. It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with you, adults. I admit my guilt."
Mo Shu explained the whole story clearly, and everything was his personal behavior.
But after all, he was Yu Zhongxin's subordinate, and the test questions he sold were also obtained from Yu Zhongxin.
As the Minister of Rites, Yu Zhongxin has an unshirkable responsibility for failing to protect the topic of the Spring Examination.
Finally, the verdict came down.
Yu Zhongxin was dismissed from office, but only retained his title and no longer served as the Minister of Rites.
Tang Yi was innocently implicated, but was acquitted, his imperial examination ranking retained, and he waited for the palace examination.
The culprits of this spring examination, Yang Lin and Mo Shu, were beaten with twenty sticks and exiled to the frontier.
The Jiang family was also innocently implicated. The emperor returned the military power to Jiang Weizhen and reinstated Jiang Chuyuan.
Imperial Study
"Do you trust Jiang Chuyuan so much? Even though Jiang Weizhen is old now, Jiang Dingbei, who is a younger generation, is also a talented general. He might take over Jiang Weizhen's position in the future."
"One of the brothers is a scholar and the other a warrior. In the future, the imperial court might be controlled by the Jiang family."
The emperor said in a deep voice that taking this opportunity to suppress Jiang Chuyuan would be the best option.
"Father, I grew up with Chu Yuan. If I can't even trust him, then there's no one else I can trust."
The prince sighed. He understood the politics of imperial power, but he did not want to be just an emperor who put power above all else.
From the current perspective of the Jiang family, both Jiang Weizhen and the future Jiang Dingbei are people who can be trusted.
He cannot eliminate a talented person, especially a brother with whom he has a good relationship, just to balance these relationships.
"I hope you won't regret your choice today."
The country will be handed over to the crown prince in the future, and the emperor respects his choice.
He taught the prince everything he needed to teach, and he did not interfere with what kind of emperor the prince chose to be.
After Yu Zhongxin was released, people from the Yu family and the Jiang family came to the Dali Temple to pick him up.
The eldest princess was also waiting in the mansion. When she saw her son come back, she said with red eyes.
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Yes, you don't have to be the Minister of Rites anymore. I've been worried about you dealing with official duties day and night. Now you can finally rest."
Pan took a willow branch and cleaned the filth off Yu Zhongxin's body, talking as she did so.
"As long as our family is safe."
Looking at the happy family, Jiang Qingwan also grinned.
The current situation is very good. He just lost his official position, but at least the entire Yu family was saved.
【And it seems that this result is what everyone wants. 】
Jiang Qingwan was very confused. Watching the trial process, it seemed that his parents and uncle all knew that there was something wrong with the ink book.
[Could it be that this was deliberately set up by my uncle, hoping to get away with it?]
Having read the book, she also knew that the Yu family was in trouble this time because of Prince Chen's frame-up on the one hand, and on the other hand because the emperor was afraid of the Yu family.
Even if he escapes once, there might be a next time. It is better to hand over power directly and let the emperor rest assured.
Jiang Chuyuan looked at his sister in his arms and gave her an appreciative look.
My sister is really smart. She can understand anything if she thinks about it carefully.
Unlike those two silly ones during the day, Jiang Chuyuan looked at Jiang Dingbei and Jiang Qingluo who were laughing foolishly.
God is indeed fair. People only have one side of their talents.
"This incident was indeed a close call, but fortunately the truth has come to light."
Ning Yuan was still a little frightened. The more he investigated the case, the more unfavorable it became for Yu Zhongxin. It seemed as if all the evidence had been arranged in advance, and was found out by him and then became a sharp weapon pointing at the Yu family.
"Yuan'er, I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days at the Dali Temple."
Yu Zhongxin did not suffer any harm in prison, partly because of his identity, and partly because Ning Yuan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was there.
"Uncle, we are all family, there is no need to be polite."
Ning Yuan is a person who has perfectly avoided all the shortcomings of Ning Anbo and Yu Sanniang.
He is intelligent, upright, has a strong sense of justice, and treats others sincerely.
Although he has some cleverness of his own, he will not use it against his relatives.
After the Yu family incident, Ning Yuan chose to protect himself, but he continued to search for evidence to exonerate the Yu family. Unfortunately, all the evidence came too late. The Chen Wang faction was already in charge, so how could they allow the Yu family to return to the capital?
