Turbulent Times Chapter 212: It’s a pit again
Everyone was horrified and reacted instinctively. They only heard the sound of a waist knife being unsheathed. Countless sharp knives aimed at Wang Junlin who was standing straight in the hall, emitting a cold light, surrounding Wang Junlin. in the middle.
Yu Zhongwen yelled: "Let me take down this daring fellow!"
As soon as the words fell, thirteen officials surrounded him with ruthless faces holding waist knives. There was a flurry of knives, and two of the knives were about to be placed on Wang Junlin's neck, forcing him to submit.
Wang Junlin was waiting for this scene, and made a bold move.
The hands that had been shrunk in the sleeves stretched out softly but extremely quickly as if they were popping out, turning into two light smokes, hitting the wrists of the two close officials, and then retracting extremely quickly. Fist back, gently push on their chest and abdomen...
This series of actions is so fast that no one can see clearly. There was a scream, and all the officials flew out, smashing the chairs in the hall to pieces.
Everyone was terrified, they didn't expect Wang Junlin's strength to be so strong, and subconsciously took half a step back.
Seeing this, Yu Zhongwen's eyes lit up, and he was not in a hurry. He smiled and looked at Wang Junlin in the hall, and said softly: "Beating an official in the hall is a more serious crime."
In Yu Zhongwen's view, whether torture can be used is a trivial matter, as long as the crime can be imposed on Wang Junlin, the more Wang Junlin refuses to let go, and the more fiercely he resists, the better it is.
With this in mind, Yu Zhongwen looked at Wang Junlin with a smile and said, "Wang Junlin, do you want to be accused of rebellion and having no king and no father?" He tapped the chopping board with his fingers, very satisfied with the current situation The situation, he said softly: "Wang Junlin, if you resist at this time, it means that your heart is wrong. If you don't resist, you will be punished obediently!"
He added another sentence at the end: "If Marquis Qin An wants to get out of the Ministry of Punishment, please feel free to do so, but it's a pity...it's a pity that my family, the youngest Founding Marquis of the Great Sui Dynasty, will have his home ransacked for such a serious crime. Genocide."
The cold light in Wang Junlin's eyes flickered, and he jumped up suddenly, and came to Yu Zhongwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice with a frightened face. He grabbed the clothes on his chest with one hand, and slapped him on the face. With two slaps, Yu Zhongwen's face suddenly swelled up.
"You, you...you, you dare to hit me." Yu Zhongwen had an unbelievable and unbelievable expression on his face.
Crack!
"You were the one who hit you." Wang Junlin slapped him again with a mocking look on his face.
"I'm going to kill you..."
Crack!
"Ah! Wang Junlin, you and I will never die..."
Crack!
"You..."
Yu Zhongwen was overwhelmed with embarrassment and anger, his head tilted, and he passed out directly.
…
Wang Junlin's disturbance in the Ministry of Criminal Justice caused an uproar in the court. Yu Zhongwen, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, went to the palace to complain. Emperor Yang Jian was furious and called Wang Junlin to the palace to confront him.
Wang Junlin said that he is the supervisory censor. According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, no criminal law can be used from the emperor to the prime minister and minister. Because Yu Zhongwen used lynching, so he was forced to resist. As for beating Yu Zhongwen, it was because Yu Zhongwen was not knocked unconscious. The latter always ordered people to do it, and the things were endless.
After Yu Zhongwen heard this, his face turned pale and he sat on the ground. He forgot that Wang Junlin still had an official position of supervisory censor, but since this official position was awarded, Wang Junlin has never performed any duties , using this official position to do anything, almost everyone, including Yu Zhongwen, forgot about it.
In this way, it was certainly wrong for Wang Junlin to make a fuss with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but Yu Zhongwen made a mistake in blatantly violating the laws and prohibitions of the Sui Dynasty.
In order to punish Wang Junlin, Yang Jian decreed to remove Wang Junlin from the position of supervisory censor. Wang Junlin was dismissed from office, and for the sake of fairness, Yu Zhongwen was also dismissed from office of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
At this point in the development of the matter, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the various aristocratic families realized that this was a good show put on by His Majesty and Wang Junlin. Control over the court.
Of course, because of this matter, Wang Junlin and Guan Longyu's family formed a deadly feud with each other. Yang Jian knew in his heart that he appreciated and appreciated Wang Junlin more and more, but such great achievements can only be remembered in his heart, not rewarded. However, Wang Junlin took the opportunity to propose to return to Gaotai City in Yongzhou, Yang Jian hesitated for a while, but finally refused,
Since Wang Junlin came to the capital, he used Wang Junlin's power to completely destroy the Changping Palace, weakened the power of the Duke of Yue Yang Su in the court, completely drove Gao Ying out of the court, and expelled the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. The two ministers were taken down and replaced by his confidantes, which means he has firmly controlled these two positions in his hands. And let Yang Su and He Ruobi form a deadly feud.
Since the founding of the country, in the past twenty years, he has devoted himself to weakening the powerful families and their control over the court, but the results achieved are not as good as those achieved in just three months. It's all thanks to Wang Junlin. In Yang Jian's view, these achievements are no less than the sum of all the military achievements made before Wang Junlin.
…
…
The final result of the palace examination finally came out, completely according to Yang Jian's intention, and every candidate Yang Jian took time to say a few words, even though most of these scholars came from aristocratic families and were trained and educated by their families since childhood The interests of the family are paramount, and they couldn't help being excited. Coupled with Yang Jian's few words, they believed that their ability to be on the list had nothing to do with the family, and it was entirely their own talents that won the favor and appreciation of the emperor. In this way, they unconsciously became more loyal to Yang Jian.
The thirteen humble scholars in the list were all selected into the second-class, and of course they were personally interviewed by Yang Jian. Moreover, Wang Junlin knew clearly that the names of these three people had also appeared on those notes, and he had manipulated them when he obscured their names.
After the results of the imperial examination were announced, the case of cheating in the scientific examination was still being tried, but Qin Anhou, who had attracted everyone's attention since he came to the capital three months ago, calmed down and stayed in the mansion without going out. , and nothing special has been reported.
…
…
On the third day of October, the day when the results of the palace examination were announced, Fang Qiao, Wei Yunqi and other thirteen lucky poor scholars finally found a time that they thought was appropriate and came to the west of the city after hesitating and discussing many times. Qin Anhou Mansion.
Fang Qiao looked up at the majestic main entrance of the Marquis of Qin'an's mansion, looked nervously at the stone lions squatting on both sides of the gate, and the guards with knives standing upright on both sides of the gate, and said in a low voice: "The princely weather, It really is extraordinary."
Wei Yunqi is the most proud person among all the people, but this is the first time he came to such a noble mansion, he clearly felt the gap between the humble family and the noble family, and he couldn't help being a little nervous, but he forced a smile on his lips. : "I'm here to be grateful, why be nervous."
