Li Hongyuan leaned crookedly on the big pillow with one hand supporting his cheek. His hair was neatly tied up, but the collar of his clothes was a little messy. His whole person was very lazy, as if he was not in the situation. An Yi didn't get a response for a long time, and he didn't repeat it. He just waited quietly.
After about the time to drink a cup of tea, he moved and reluctantly sat up straight. Eunuch Mu quickly and calmly served a cup of tea.
Li Hongyuan lowered his head and took a sip of the nourishing tea prepared by his wife. To be honest, Li Hongyuan didn't like this tea very much. Although it didn't taste bad, after marrying his wife, he naturally followed her. For example, he didn't like most of the materials, but his wife said it was good for the body and gave it to him. He could eat it without changing his expression.
"Say it." Li Hongyuan put down the cup, moved his neck slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
An Yi concisely narrated, "… Those Bodhi beads were also sent by them."
Li Hongyuan opened his eyes and didn't say a word. Obviously, this matter didn't cause any emotional fluctuations in him. "Pass down the words, in half a month, Shannan County will enter the provincial examination. This prince will personally oversee it. Mu An, write the memorial and respectfully ask Imperial Father to personally write the questions. "
He probably didn't expect Li Hongyuan's thoughts to jump so quickly. These were clearly two unrelated matters.
However, no matter what decision Li Hongyuan made, they only needed to execute it.
Currently, none of the people around Li Hongyuan could participate in the matter as an aide. However, he could handle these matters by himself.
Such a big matter was naturally spread out immediately. In a very short period of time, almost everyone in the prefectural city quickly spread to the surrounding counties. At the same time, people were sent to inform other prefectures, especially Shannan County's Jianchuan Zhou Prefecture City. As the location of the provincial examination in Shannan County, and it was a special period, they had to make preparations.
After the officials in the outer courtyard of the courtyard learned of this, they looked at each other and then unanimously maintained silence.
It was true that when he did not move, it was fine, but when he moved, it was like a thunderbolt! Moreover, at this time, the students were already waiting impatiently. They did not know when the end would come, and even felt that the road ahead was bleak. His sudden action was undoubtedly a great reassurance. Furthermore, with the Head of Education being detained, there was no need to worry about the same thing happening in the provincial examination. Furthermore, he had expressed that he would personally oversee the examination, respectfully inviting the Emperor to personally draft the questions, making everyone feel at ease.
There were four counties and twenty-eight prefectures in Jiangnan. With Shannan County taking the lead, how could the other three counties sit still? No matter what the original attitude towards Jin Qinwang was, at this time, no one would make things difficult for him. They might even flatter him and hope that the matters in their own territory could be resolved as soon as possible. After all, the source of students was also a part of the political achievements. If it was not resolved, then in this area, the evaluation would be the worst and it would not only affect the future of the students.
After all, in this time's provincial examination, not every prefecture had problems. There were too many people who were worried and impatient.
The students of Chongzhou Prefecture who were the first to receive the news, regardless of whether they were preparing to participate in this year's provincial examination or not, were all very excited. Previously, they had indeed wronged Jin Qinwang. How was this not doing anything? He clearly had a card up his sleeve and was only waiting for the right opportunity. There were many who excitedly began to pack their things, preparing to immediately head to Chuanchuan Zhou Prefecture City.
Half a month was not a lot of time. Here, because there was a canal that directly connected the two prefectures, it was fast and convenient to travel. It should be known that for people in relatively remote areas, if their family was poor and could not wait in the prefecture city and had no choice but to return home, if they received the news and rushed over at this time, if something happened, they might not be able to return in half a month.
But would there be people who would complain that this time was too rushed? No! As the saying goes, a long night is fraught with dreams!
After the excitement died down, they could not help but worry about the people who had participated in the provincial examination. Obviously, that examination, no matter what the result was, would definitely be invalid. And those who were originally full of confidence to participate in the provincial examination could only have their thoughts fall through. This was not a big deal. At worst, they could come back next year and take the provincial examination again. They could even catch up with the previous year's metropolitan examination, a beautiful fantasy. It should be known that until now, there was still a portion of people who had "conclusive evidence" that participated in the fraud and were imprisoned in the prison. If they really had ulterior motives, then that was fine. But clearly, there were many among them who were momentarily blinded by greed for various reasons. What was more innocent was that they were framed. If they were deprived of the qualification to participate in the imperial examination, perhaps the one who was ruined would not be him alone.
Even a portion of people who were going to participate in the provincial examination stayed behind at this time, wanting to see the final result.
In fact, Jin Qinwang really did not let them down. On the second day, the results were completely out. The high efficiency was really rare.
The people who were originally imprisoned, those who should be released were released, those who should be detained were detained, and those who should be punished were punished. And the main personnel involved were all detained. The specific results would have to wait for further trials. One thing that could be confirmed was that the officials involved had already been removed from their official hats. All the details were posted on the notice board. There was not the slightest bit of concealment. Everyone knew about it.
Regarding this point, it was the result after Li Hongyuan asked Jingwan. This kind of completely open mode had its own benefits. Jingwan did not hesitate to "present Buddha with borrowed flowers". And Li Hongyuan did not hesitate at all and completely accepted it. This kind of ability to nod his head as long as it was something beneficial, Jingwan actually sincerely admired him. This kind of person, even if it was in private matters, he could be rational when it came to matters that benefited the country and the people. He could stand high and see far. Even if he was not a wise ruler of a generation, he would not be too bad.
Li Hongyuan also did not know Jingwan's thoughts. If he knew, he would probably laugh.
People like him would not care about what other people thought, nor would he explain anything to the world. He only had one purpose, and that was to let people know who came up with this idea. Even if it could not be widely publicized now, as long as a few people knew about it, when it was promoted in the future, it could always let her stand in front of the stage. The hearts of the people, prestige … …
Li Hongyuan would not do things like winning the hearts of the people. He only did what he should do, but he would not hesitate to raise Jingwan's status. Even if doing this now might cause the emperor to be suspicious and think that he was using his wife's name to do something improper, he would not hesitate to do it.
Those who were originally in despair in prison did not expect that not only would they be released in one piece, but their originally dead end would also be rekindled. This was because those who bought the exam questions were not permanently disqualified, but were banned from taking the exam for three years. Three years was a waste of time for a small number of scholars because they had the ability to go all the way. Even if they knew the exam questions, they would not bother to buy it. Most people had studied for many years, so three years was just an extra three years for them. It did not affect them at all. Not to mention those who were unlucky and became the scapegoat. Not only did they not suffer any harm, they also received additional compensation. People like this were generally people with no background and were relatively poor. The compensation given to them was that their names would be recorded in the records. In the future, no matter where they were in the imperial examinations, their meals and lodging for a month would all be paid by the imperial court, no matter how long they took.
Whether it was the former or the latter, in short, these people who originally felt that they were extremely unlucky all felt joy at the turn of events, especially the latter. They even felt that they were so lucky that they cried tears of joy for a moment. We are so grateful to our wise and mighty His Majesty that we shed tears of gratitude. — Yes, the official statement was that this was the emperor's intention.
This was also Jingwan's masterpiece. However, it was obvious that this matter would win the hearts of the people, so of course, it was safest to place the title on the emperor's head.
Although Li Hongyuan did not really like it, he also knew that Jingwan was doing this completely for his sake. In the end, he could only nod his head.
The college examination cheating case was considered to have officially come to an end in Chongzhou Prefecture. However, for this entire matter, this was only the beginning.
At the same time, unbeknownst to everyone, Chongzhou Prefecture had also sent out a group of people to various counties and villages to pick up the examinees who had returned home. Jingwan's reason was very simple. After so many years of hard work, perhaps she had been waiting for this once. It was fine for the rich, as they could just wait another year if they missed it. However, for those whose entire family had tightened their belts to support a scholar, perhaps they would not be able to survive another year. Moreover, this time was so tight because of her husband. As a virtuous wife, she naturally had to help clean up the aftermath.
Although her last words were teasing, Li Hongyuan enjoyed it very much.
"Regardless of whether it's subsidies or transportation, they can all be used within the scope of Qiyuan. It might seem like it costs a lot, but it's actually not. After all, most of the people are scholars and rich people. The specific details can be slowly considered. However, there is no rush. It can wait until later, when you … "Rise to the top. "And this provincial examination, why is it not held in autumn? The normal time is in early May. However, it is already summer. The provincial examination has three rounds, nine days and seven nights. If the weather is cooler, it will definitely be more comfortable."
Li Hongyuan had always known that Jingwan had a righteous heart. Towards the weak and the poor, she had the kindness of "wishing the best for everyone". As long as she was given a chance, she would definitely work hard for it. This righteousness might have something to do with her background, or perhaps it was in her nature to have such feelings.
Li Hongyuan might have scoffed at such feelings if it were someone else. However, when it came to Jingwan, it made him feel that his Wan Wan was indeed the most special and wonderful person in the world. "When we return to the capital, look for your grandfather. He is the minister of the Ministry of Appointments. The imperial examination is under the Ministry of Appointments. Naturally, he will be the one to worry about the relevant matters. If Wan Wan has any thoughts, just give me a general idea. The rest will be left to the others to handle. They are not raised for nothing. "
Jingwan did not comment on Li Hongyuan's supreme thinking of working people. "It is still early."
Was it early? At most, it would only be three years. Li Hongyuan rested his head on Jingwan's thigh and slowly closed his eyes.
In addition, the things that Li Hongyuan and the others had brought along were salvaged one after another. To be honest, all the people involved were shocked speechless. They carried a feeling of fear and trepidation. Every item was too precious, so much so that the people salvaging them were not only careful, they also did not dare to have the slightest bit of greedy thoughts. Because any one of these items could cost the lives of their entire family. They had already been sternly warned before.
When they were being transported to Chongzhou Prefecture, the various officials' wives came to take a look under the guise of helping. After all, they had already heard that Jin Qinwang's "family property" was very rich.
However, they did not know if they did not see. Once they saw, they were shocked. Not to mention other things, they were all women. The first thing that came to mind was naturally Jingwan's clothes. Just one look was enough to make them completely stunned. After that, their eyes turned red and their hearts were sour. They were all women, but why was the difference so big?
A set of head ornaments, perhaps it was lower than all of their jewelry!
After calming down a little, apprehension emerged in their hearts. So many good things, the little that their own family gave seemed to be completely insufficient. In this way, was it really useful?
It was said that Jin Qinwang's wealth could rival a country and was simply difficult to bribe. However, Jin Qinwang Fei had indeed accepted their things and did not even refuse them. Perhaps it should still have some use? Moreover, even if Jin Qinwang had it, it was not Jin Qinwang Fei's private property. That's right. The eyes of the furen lit up. After seeing the wealth of Jin Qinwang Fu, it would definitely nurture Jin Qinwang Fei's greedy heart. However, she certainly would not dare to easily use the things of Jin Qinwang Fu. Moreover, Jin Qinwang Fu had many women and many children. No matter how many things there were, it could be divided. However, if it was something that was grasped in the palm of her hand, then it would only belong to her and her children. Now, a great opportunity was placed in front of her …
The things that Jin Qinwang disdained, Jin Qinwang Fei would take a fancy to. Jin Qinwang could not be bribed, but Jin Qinwang Fei could. And now, Jin Qinwang Fei had a lot of influence on Jin Qinwang Qinwang Fei …
The furen who thought that they had seen through the crux of the matter, their thoughts turned like lightning and they already had a plan.
After that, the things that Jingwan received, in addition to some good things, also appeared a large amount of gold and silver notes.
Jingwan's smiling expression on her face disappeared, but her heart became colder and colder.
Only sixth or seventh rank officials, they could give out tens of thousands of taels. All kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and paintings were also not few.
Jingwan threw all these things to Li Hongyuan, "Pack them all up and send them back to the capital to Fuhuang. Looking at the current situation, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will only be more serious than expected. Moreover, it is estimated that there will not be anything clean. After all, once you enter this big dye vat, even if you want to be clean, others will have to dye you black. Those who are too clean will not be able to survive. In this way, if the investigation really turns the sky upside down, I'm afraid that there will be a complete change of blood. That way, the movement will be too big. Perhaps the entire Qi Yuan will be affected. Why don't we directly release some specious news and let them spend money to avoid disaster and deal with the most serious group of people. The rest can be slowly replaced, cleaned up, transferred far away, demoted, dismissed, or imprisoned. There will always be a way, just don't do it all at once … "
"Wan Wan, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Can't you?"
"It's not that you can't. In fact, this is similar to my original plan. However, I plan to clean up a larger area and my methods will be more ruthless. Naturally, you will have to spit out what you have eaten. Moreover, it's impossible to just spit it out and be done with it. Being an ox or a horse for the rest of your life is the lightest punishment. Your methods are gentler, and your influence will indeed be reduced to the lowest. However, in this way, Wan Wan, your reputation … the most greedy person in Qi Yuan? Perhaps there will be no one like you before and after. "Li Hongyuan teased.
"Fuhuang will prefer this kind of situation."
"That's right. He doesn't like big movements, and he doesn't like such a big stain on his' prosperous era '. — Let's go back and ask for benefits from him. "
Jingwan smiled and nodded. Thus, she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to work hard to become the most greedy person in history.
The account books that Li Hongyuan asked people to move to the side courtyard were almost cleaned up, and the loopholes in the accounts were basically found. As for the deeper things, for example, things that only cost 50 taels but cost 500 taels, Li Hongyuan pretended not to know and did not continue to dig. As for these officials, one after another, they were released.
Naturally, the more they bled, the faster they would be sent back. Those who figured this out naturally couldn't care less about the pain and sent them back.
Although Jingwan asked for all of it to be sent to Cheng Di, Li Hongyuan still asked people to selectively intercept some of it and did it quite naturally.
At the same time, Cheng Di also basically knew about Li Hongyuan's actions in Chongzhou Prefecture. His joy at his son's safety seemed to have faded by a lot. He was somewhat silent and basically did not say anything. There were some things that he was not too sure about until he received the memorials from Yu Zhongqing and Li Suyan. The former wrote in detail about Li Hongyuan's' actions', while the latter talked about the mission that Li Hongyuan had sent. Finally, he smiled and was relieved. However, he also regretted that such a capable son could not become the successor.
He was happy. With a wave of his hand, he drafted questions and gathered the officials to help. In order not to be a burden, they were all given food and accommodation in the palace. They could only return home after his son finished presiding over the examination.
A group of capable and important officials were here to set questions for the provincial examination. He could only pinch his nose and accept it.
