Chapter 405 Dare to Cover the Emperor's Mouth
Chongzhen was not angry, but just lamented a long time ago and closed his eyes in pain. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the chief examiner Zhou Tingru and Tao: "Is this the pillar of the country you have selected for me? Is this the talent of the world you have selected for me?"
Zhou Tingru turned over and knelt down at that time: "I don't know, I am blinded, and I am a death sentence."
Chongzhen sighed weakly: "Of course you are guilty of death."
Zhou Tingru was shocked at the moment. He just said politely as usual, but why didn’t the emperor be polite to him? Didn’t he make himself polite to him?
At that time, when Zhao Xing heard this, he almost jumped up happily.
Zhou Tingru was the first culprit of the demise of the Ming Dynasty. He started a party struggle, he started a party struggle within Donglin. After he became the chief minister, he only cared about drinking happily and watching Jiannu rage the capital. He killed one patriotic general after another.
Zhou Tingru was the first disaster for this Ming Dynasty. He was going to try all kinds of ways to kill the guy. Now, I don’t have to work hard, just kill him. For this reason, Zhao Xing wanted to sit in the hall on the spot and dance with his hands and feet.
Of course, Zhou Tingru would not sit still and wait for death. Seeing Zhao Xing who was eager to try, he immediately took out his specialty of involvement. He suddenly remembered that he was the chief examiner of this formal examination, but the chief examiner who also had problems was the emperor. Of course, the emperor himself dared not move, at least he could not move in terms of morality and legal principles. However, Zhao Xing, the emperor's lucky minister, could be pulled into the water.
As long as you pull Zhao Xing into the water, you can indirectly implicate the emperor. If you kill me, you must kill Zhao Xing. What should you do, the emperor, the chief examiner of the Ensein Department? As the chief examiner of the N department, you cannot kill yourself, right? Since you cannot kill yourself, of course you cannot kill me, the chief examiner.
So he kowtowed immediately: "I am guilty, but is Zhao Xing not guilty as the deputy chief examiner of Enke? I deserve to die, but Zhao Xing shouldn't die?"
Chongzhen originally regretted what he said just now. After all, Zhou Tingru was the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. In the past two hundred years, except for his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, no one has ever killed the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. So he was thinking about how to make the case happen.
When I suddenly heard Zhou Tingru biting Zhao Xing, Chongzhen understood at that time, "Good boy, you biting Zhao Xing, just because you are biting me, the chief examiner of the Endo Department, what do you mean?"
With ulterior motives, I remembered what Zhao Xing said at the beginning - threat.
Is the emperor threatened? No, the emperor should be threatened the most, absolutely not.
Chongzhen coldly made a fuss: "Enke informal scientific examination, don't you know that grace is out of the best intention? Whoever I want to use or not is my grace. And the great ceremony of talent is a state affairs, and national affairs are in chaos, how can you be innocent? Not only do you have a sin, but how can you convince the world if you cut it? Only by cutting it in half can you match your sin."
To be honest, the pain of being cut is worse than being cut in half. As a result, this is a more serious crime. Zhou Tingru fainted at that time.
When Zhao Xing saw Zhou Tingru's appearance, he no longer wanted to dance, but he wanted to sing and dance - square dance, and walked. The most spiraling national style music was already roaring in his ears. It was so exciting, so exciting.
At the same time, he also regretted Zhou Tingru, and he still had to bite himself before he died. Haha, don’t you know that biting yourself means biting the emperor? Is the emperor able to bite? You, Donglin, has become a habit of climbing and biting, and having bad habits will kill people.
He cried with joy, and Zhao Xing said inexplicably: "Long live the holy light."
Just like this, all officials lamented that the practice of not killing the chief minister for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty was broken.
Zhou Tingru, who had fought for half his life, ended up with such a fate, sighed to the officials with a heartache: "I know that there are evil feelings, but you have to give me at least one like these nine people." Then he pointed to the nine candidates named by him who wrote not many papers. "Although the beginning of these few sentences are not very knowledgeable, even the beginning of the sentence is bullshit, but at least you can still read. As a result, your offline line actually chose an illiterate bastard for me. You are no longer limitless, you are already shameless."
All the officials involved in the marking were trembling all over.
"If I don't believe you, you're giving me a reason to trust you. All officials in the world--"
Zhao Xing was shocked. The next word must not be said. Once it was said, the imperial power and official system of the Ming Dynasty would completely collapse. The betrayal of relatives that only appeared more than ten years later will be staged in a blink of an eye, especially in front of these tribute officials in the palace examination, which will spread all over the world in a blink of an eye. That is the biggest disaster begins.
So, Zhao Xing rushed up without hesitation and covered Chongzhen's mouth directly: "Your Majesty, you can't say it--"
Zhao Xing dared to rush up to the jade stairs, which was already a rebellion. When he covered Chongzhen's mouth directly, it was even more regarded as assassination. Zhou Tingru, who was kneeling on the ground, had a light of resentment and pleasure flashed in his eyes.
At this time, hundreds of people in the entire hall were shocked and stunned, not knowing what to do.
Time seemed to have passed ten thousand years, and a gentle voice came out. It was the emperor's voice, which made everyone feel relieved: "Thank you, my dear." Chongzhen, whose eyes were red again, said sincerely to Zhao Xing: "I really thank you, I didn't make me talk nonsense."
When Zhao Xing covered Chongzhen's mouth, he knew that he was finished. Not only did he finish it himself, but he would also implicate the fifty-year-old people in his family, including puppies.
But it's too late to regret it again.
But Chongzhen's sincere thanks was like the sound of nature. Zhao Xing was also moved by Chongzhen's trust and magnanimity in himself.
Take a step back: "I'm reckless."
"I understand your heart, go back to work."
Zhao Xing retreated back to his position and was about to kneel down.
Chongzhen said calmly: "No need to kneel, don't kneel from now on."
As a result, Zhao Xing became embarrassed. What was awkward was that the hall was kneeling, and he stood alone here alone, just like a group of sheep with a donkey, absolutely inconsistent.
Chongzhen stood up and said to all the tribute students who were shocked: "I'm sorry, I don't recognize people clearly, which caused today's fraud. In order to ensure justice, the palace examination will be cancelled. You will go back and review your books. After half a month, you will take the imperial examination and select real talented pillars for the country."
