The system laughed awkwardly twice, [Haha... this joke doesn't seem funny. ]
Jiang Yueyang stared at him in his mind. The system coughed twice and said seriously: [All those who participated in the imperial examination fraud were killed by Lord Wu. The host can only start with physical evidence. For example, the examination papers of that year. ]
In order to avoid Jiang Yueyang's suspicion, Emperor Yuan tried two things at once: on one hand, he discussed state affairs with his court officials, and on the other hand, he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to Jiang Yueyang's thoughts.
The same is true for all civil and military officials. They are all old hands in the officialdom, and it is easy for them to do two things at once.
It doesn't interfere with their work at all.
[The test papers are sealed in the Ministry of Rites, right? How can I get access to them? Moreover, after so many years, I don’t even know if the test papers are still there.]
Left Vice Minister of Rites: Yes, yes, all the imperial examination files are still well preserved.
System: [Host, you can't kill Master Wu like this. If you can't make contact, then find a way to make contact.]
[How annoying!] Jiang Yueyang said in an annoyed tone, [Your Majesty was so annoyed that he gave that fat guy thirty lashes, can't he just kill him if he's not annoyed? That way, there's no need to look for evidence.]
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
[If this happens, he will be called a tyrant, right? ]
At this time, the sound of beating outside stopped.
Jiang Yueyang was silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "Little melon, if I tell His Majesty that Fatty is so easily deceived and doesn't look like someone who can pass the imperial examination, and suspects him of cheating in the imperial examination, will His Majesty believe me?"
[Others will probably think that you are angry at him for slandering your brother and are deliberately throwing dirty water on him. However, the host can give it a try. What if His Majesty believes it? ]
Jiang Yueyang thought it was okay. Even if they didn’t believe it, it was okay. At worst, she could think of other ways.
She must kill that fat guy.
At this time, Emperor Yuan was discussing with his ministers the tax exemption issues in Xizhou and the resettlement of the people affected by the continuous heavy rains.
Hearing Jiang Yueyang's words, he couldn't help but sit up straight.
Jiang Yueyang did what he said and raised his hand immediately.
When Emperor Yuan saw her raise her hand, he found it inexplicably funny.
He clenched his fist and put it to his mouth and coughed, "Miss Jiang, do you have anything to say?"
The adult who was speaking was interrupted, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Yueyang nodded, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Wu has a problem with his character and is not worthy of being an official. Moreover, no matter how I look at him, I feel that Lord Wu is not very smart. He believes anything anyone says. It is really strange that such a person can pass the imperial examination."
Emperor Yuan followed her words and asked, "What do you mean, Miss Jiang?"
"I think he must have cheated in the imperial examination!"
Emperor Yuan nodded slowly, "Miss Jiang is right."
[You believe it now?] Jiang Yueyang was very surprised, and looked at Emperor Yuan with an intriguing look, [Little melon, His Majesty doesn't seem to be very smart.]
【I think so too.】
Emperor Yuan started coughing violently upon hearing the sound, and he choked on his own saliva.
Minister Jiang: My dear ancestor! Please stop talking. If you continue, even if ten of our family members have died, they will not be enough to kill us.
The people standing below tried hard to hold back their laughter, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the younger officials.
They are almost suffering from internal injuries.
Emperor Yuan wanted to say that he was just trying to go with the flow.
Normally, in this situation, he would definitely ask, do you know what crime is punishable by slandering an official appointed by the imperial court?
The chief eunuch brought a cup of tea, and Emperor Yuan gradually stopped coughing after drinking it.
He glared at Jiang Yueyang secretly, then looked at the Minister of Personnel, and felt that it was not a good idea, so he looked at the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple.
This matter involves human life, so it is not appropriate to hand it over to the Ministry of Personnel for investigation.
"My dear Qin."
Qin Shi stepped out and said, "I am here."
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Qin Shi had the surname Qin.
Jiang Yueyang turned her head curiously and looked over, [Xiaogua, is he Qin Shi? ]
【right! 】
[He is indeed good-looking. No wonder Lin Susu tried every means to marry him.]
Qin Shi blushed when she was told she was pretty.
Minister Lin had a bad feeling.
The other adults grasped the key point and used all means?
This is not a good word, it often describes bad methods.
Emperor Yuan: "What do you think about Miss Jiang's suspicion?"
"I think it would be okay to check it out."
Jiang Yueyang's thoughts were mixed in with theirs, [The rumors outside have spread all over the streets and alleys, doesn't Qin Shi know about this yet? ]
[He knew. Yesterday, Madam Qin and Young Master Qin went to the Lin family to cancel the engagement.]
Emperor Yuan listened and said to Qin Shi: "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
He didn't know yet that the Qin and Lin families had broken off the engagement.
"Yes!" Qin Shi responded.
[Minister Lin is willing to do that? Doesn't this prove that Lin Susu has an affair with someone? ]
"You shut up..."
"Minister Lin." Emperor Yuan called out to him in a dignified manner, meaning to tell him to shut up.
Jiang Yueyang was completely unaware.
System: [Of course she won’t. But Madam Qin is not a pushover. If the Lin family refuses to cancel the engagement, then she will ask the doctor to verify her true identity and see if Lin Susu is pregnant.]
[The Lin family will definitely not hire a doctor, so wouldn't that be a mistake? ]
[So, Minister Lin finally agreed to cancel the engagement, but the delay was two months. The Qin family also agreed considering that Qin Shi and Minister Lin would serve in the same court for many more years.]
Jiang Yueyang sighed, "I hope the Qin family can cancel the engagement smoothly. By the way, who spread the rumors outside? I thought only you and I knew about Lin Susu's pregnancy."
Minister Lin: If she wasn't the one who spread the rumor, then who was it?
[It was Miss Cao whom the host met that day. ]
Jiang Yueyang recalled, [Oh...it turned out to be her!]
Minister Lin was very anxious. Miss Cao, which Miss Cao?
All the adults with the surname Cao in the hall were on edge, hoping it wasn’t their child!
If Minister Lin knew about this, he would kill them.
Others were very excited, Lin Susu was really pregnant!
Although the rumor was widely spread, it was still uncertain whether it was true or not. Now that Jiang Yueyang had spoken from her heart, it was definitely true.
Your Majesty said that he would confer an official title on the daughter of Minister Jiang no matter what. He must have verified her intentions and made sure that they were true before doing so.
No, if Minister Jiang’s daughter really stayed in the court, then they would have no secrets, right?
Something bad is happening!
Do you want to resign?
No, no, it would be a guilty conscience to resign at this time.
Take leave?
I can't take leave every day...
The honest officials just sit back and watch the show, while those who have something to hide are desperately thinking about how to save their lives.
