    When they were in love, Long Rulin and Huang Xi used to act as lobbyists for Zai and win over Ju Ting, but Sushun was so cunning that he neither agreed nor refused, delaying the matter for a long time.  Zai and Zai were a little disappointed, but they definitely didn't dare to offend this high-ranking member of the court, so they had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

    Sushun was the most favored minister in the Xianfeng Dynasty. Now he is over 60 years old, but the emperor still relies on him deeply. The reward of three festivals and two lifespans is always the first one. For Zaiying and Zai, being able to get Sushun  Sushun's admission into the alliance was of great help to his own side's gain; but Sushun always had an ambiguous attitude and never said a heart-to-heart word. As time went by, Zai had no choice but to give up.

    It is said that since they are officials in the same court, maintaining face is also indispensable. When Zaiying passed the house on the pretext of paying New Year greetings, Zai and Zai were talking to Sushun. Apart from these few people,  , Li Ciming and Gao Xinxie also came to Beijing from their respective posts, and Wang Xiangqi, Huang Xi, and Long Rulin were accompanying guests and talking on the side.

    Hearing the servant¡¯s reply, Sushun stood up and said, ¡°Please, please come in quickly.¡±

    Zaiying walked all the way into the hall and was slightly startled, "It's late to greet the teacher, please forgive me."

    "Come, sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Sushun greeted with great enthusiasm, "Gao Jiu? Go to Tonghui Building and ask them to prepare wine and food and send them to the house later."

    Zaiying smiled and sat down next to Sushun, and then she could talk to her brothers, "Third brother, fourth brother, are you here too?"

    "Yes! I have met my second brother." Zaizai saluted each other.

    "There is no need to salute," Zaiying said, "I am also a guest today, and you and I are brothers, so it's better to be more casual. By the way, Lao Wu didn't come?"

    "Lao Wu went out of town for something."

    "It's such a cold day? It's a festival day again. Why do you have to go out of the city?"

    Zai Yixiao said, "There is nothing else. Second brother knows it after all. We Chinese celebrate the New Year, but foreigners don't. The last time we invited the British and American ministers to mediate the Sino-Japanese war, it finally came to an end. Lao Wu invited the emperor.  Amma¡¯s decree was to reward the Hendersons for their hard work, so I chose today to take them for a spin in the garden.¡±

    Zaiying nodded and sighed slightly, "To be honest, it's all because of my failure as the elder brother. I can't share the worries for Emperor Ama and the labor for my younger brother, leaving Xiao Wu to get married and busy with state affairs during the Spring Festival.  , I¡¯m really ashamed.¡±

    "That's right, second brother, Xiao Wu is getting married. It's a pity that you are on the Japanese front and can't catch up with Lao Wu's wedding banquet, but I heard that second brother is going to Japan this time, and there will be some fun between the host and the guest?"

    There was a strong sarcasm in the words. Zaiying could naturally hear it and was secretly angry. She went to Japan once and took a Japanese woman named Meihui as her personal favorite. This matter was not a secret in Beijing. Zaiying asked herself  There is nothing that can't be seen. Emperor Ama didn't say anything. It's your brothers' turn to criticize yourself?  "Yeah" He smiled and teased, "Why, the third and fourth children are envious? Why don't we have such an errand again in the future, and the second brother recommends to Ama that you two also go there?"

    Zai had a straight temper and couldn't hold back a single sentence in his mind, so he pushed it back blankly, "Then, we have to wait until the second brother is in front of Ama."

    Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sushun said hurriedly, "A few brothers have arrived, and Hanzhai is in full bloom. It just so happens that Ai Bo and Bi Mei are also here. Why don't we talk about some interesting things outside Beijing, so that we can enjoy the meal?"  Entertainment?"

    Li Ciming smiled and said, "Well, students, let me tell you something first. This matter is similar to the Yang Changjun case. But it will take a few years."

    Sushun suddenly became energetic. He didn't read much. What he admired the most were scholars, and he treated them well. At the same time, he had a great hobby in his heart, which was to listen to the anecdotes of these scholars.

    After repeatedly urging him to speak quickly, Li Ciming started talking.

    Li Ciming dispersed the library and distributed it to Guangxi, then transferred it to Zhili, and now it has reached the position of Zhili Tianjin Prefecture. The story to be told this time is the story of Liu Fenggao, a famous talent in the Qiang and Jiayuan dynasties.  Liu Fenggao's ancestral home was in Pingxiang, Jiangxi. He was erudite, good at calligraphy, and very handsome. He was truly a popular figure in the Golden Horse and Yutang. I don't know how many dignitaries wanted him to be their son-in-law. Unfortunately, Liu Fenggao had a very bad temper.  , he has a very high self-esteem, acts carelessly, and drinks very bad wine. Once he is 70 or 80% drunk, he forgets all etiquette and laws.

    Liu Fenggao was the third flower of the Jiyou family in the 54th year of Qianlong's reign. Among the eight ministers who read the papers, one was Peng Yuanrui, the Minister of Rites, who was also from Jiangxi.  The emperor also admired Liu Fenggao's papers for their magnificence and magnificence, which was appreciated by Peng Yuanrui. Because of this, in the Hanzhan Examination in the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign, Liu Fenggao ranked second class. He could only be promoted to one class according to the custom-made paper, butBecause of Peng Yuanrui's support, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree. The next year, he was released from Guangxi's political studies. Liu Fenggao's popularity was unparalleled for a while.

    After the death of the Supreme Emperor, Liu Fenggao and Ding You resurrected. At that time, the "Records of Emperor Gaozong" was to be compiled. Peng Yuanrui presided over it and asked Liu Fenggao to be appointed as the compiler and editor. His official position was also promoted from Bachelor of Attendance to Imperial College to Jijiu, and then to Imperial College.  The chief minister of Taichang Temple in Dajiuqing, who was in charge of real records, was transferred from editor to chief editor, which lasted only two years.

    Soon after, Mr. Liu was released as the chief examiner of the Shandong Provincial Examination and served as an academic administrator in Shandong. He returned to Beijing in November of the ninth year of Jiaqing. He was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War. He still returned to the Record Hall as an errand, but in name he was promoted  The first floor is the vice president, whose job is to "specially review the manuscript." This position is very important. After the editor compiles the actual record according to the "Daily Registration" by year, month and day, it must be reviewed by Liu Fenggao before it can be finalized.  It is an important and important position.

    In the twelfth year of Jiaqing, the real record was completed, and those who contributed to the affairs were rewarded as usual. Liu Fenggao was always at work and contributed a lot. He was specially rewarded for the false crown prince and Taibao. This is the so-called "palace title". In addition to the border seal, the second-grade official was awarded  Except for the governors of high officials, no rewards could be given to ministers and cabinet scholars in the capital. Liu Fenggao was a special case that could be regarded as an honor.  Immediately afterwards, the chief examiner of the Jiangnan Provincial Examination was released. Before he left office, he was given the order to supervise the academic affairs of Zhejiang.

    At this time, the governor of Zhejiang was called Ruan Yuan, who was of the same year as Liu Fenggao. His ancestral home was a military general's family in Yizheng County, Yangzhou Prefecture. This man was also known to Qianlong Teda for his writing.  In the Hanzhan Examination in the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign, the test questions were two articles and one poem. The titles of the two articles were "Imitation of Zhang Heng's Celestial Ode" and "Imitation of Liu Xiang's Feng Chen Tang and Gan Yan Shou Shu"; the poem titles were very strange.  It's 'glasses,' he got the word.

    Ruan Yuan's Fu and Shu were both well written and praised by all the grading officials. However, there was a rare character used in it that many people did not recognize. It was suspected to be a clerical error, so he was placed in the third class. Later, someone checked the book and found out that it was not the case, so he was placed in the first class.  Waiting for second place.

    The Han-Jiang University Examination is divided into four grades, and there are only three in the first grade. As usual, they all need to be promoted. If it is the third grade, there is no noun, but the ranking is in order. Those ranked later may have to be demoted, so there is a gap between  The relationship is huge.  After the submission, Qianlong transferred Ruan Yuan another person and promoted him to the first class, "The second place is better than the first place. Shu is better." In fact, this was Qianlong's lie. The person he admired was not what Ruan Yuan did.  The five-character and eight-rhyme test poem.

    The test poem is also called the test rhyme. Allusions must be used to fasten the title tightly, and describe it from all aspects, front and back, positive and negative. If the belly is not wide and cannot be elaborated, it will definitely fall into the inferior position; and the title of the poem this time is also very easy.  People have headaches: glasses are

    The imported product has no allusions at all. In addition, the word "he" is an extremely dangerous rhyme, and it is quite difficult to rhyme it smoothly. However, Ruan Yuan is really talented and can handle it with ease. One of his couplets is, "Why do the four eyes need to be so heavy?"  Hitomi doesn¡¯t need him!¡±

    This is a hymn to the saint, because Qianlong's constitution was quite good. Although he was hard of hearing in his later years, his eyesight remained intact and he could do without glasses. Moreover, Yao's four eyes were as big as those of Shun. Complimenting the emperor was like Yao and Shun's meaning, although it was obscure but real.  Therefore, Qianlong was very happy. When summoned, Ruan Yuan lost his temper and compared his name with Yi Yin, the virtuous prime minister of the Yin Dynasty. The emperor denounced him as arrogant. Unexpectedly, Ruan Yuan was very eloquent and answered calmly, thinking that he was better than Qianlong.  Yi Yin, because "What Yi Yin did was the unjust Taijia, while what I did was the king of Yao and Shun."

    Although this kind of blatant flattery was despised by others, Qianlong liked it and promoted him from a seventh-rank Hanlin Academy editor to a fourth-rank Zhan Shifu Shaozhan. Moreover, Qianlong was very proud of the promotion of Ruan Yuan and often expressed his displeasure.  Zuo Zuo said, "I didn't expect that I would get another scholar after I was eighty years old."

    In Wuchen, the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, when the emperor was fifty years old and Enke was born, Ruan Yuan was supposed to be sent to the imperial prison. Because he had to take charge of the collection of pirates in the Ningbo area, he asked someone to send someone to do it for him. Normally, he asked the vassal to do it for him, but that was not the case.  It could be done by the academic administrator. Ruan Yuan asked Liu Fenggao, the academic administrator, to act as supervisor.

    In August of the next year, an imperial censor named Lu Yan impeached Liu Fenggao, saying that when Enke was appointed prisoner last year, he had a perverse temperament, drank heavily all day long, and during exams, he did not wear a hat or a hat when he came and went.  He went to various offices to explain the test questions to the talented people he knew well, changed the words as he wished, and gave him food and drinks. As a result, all the scholars were dissatisfied. They published the names of students such as Xu on wooden lists, compiled the thoroughfares, and made a couplet book.  arts.  ,

    Before Lu Yan, the emperor had also received a secret report. He knew that it was harmful, but he never published it. At this time, he also had taboos, so he first took a measure to protect Ruan Yuan - because of academic dereliction of duty, although Ruan Yuan could not be held accountable for recommending wrongdoers.  It is a human crime, but Jian Lin has committed illegal acts in the palace, and has been criticized by scholars. If Ruan Yuan ignores it, he is derelict in his duty. Especially since Jian Lin does not send vassals but appoints academic officials, he should pay more attention to the investigation.  , if it is possible to participate in the impeachment of Liu Fenggao based on the facts, he can still be exempted from the discussion. Otherwise, he will not be able to escape the crime of covering up the same year and harming the public for private purposes.

    So the emperor personally wrote a Zhu Yu to Ruan Yuan, asking him to do it as soon as possible.To clarify this matter, we will report it according to the facts.  Unexpectedly, Ruan Yuan's recital completely refuted Liu Fenggao, saying that he "actually had no affair with a drunkard, but the agent Wen Wei came to supervise, the rules were strict, and the scholars held grudges, which led to material disputes."

    In fact, Liu Fenggao's reputation in Zhejiang was not good. The emperor also asked many honest and upright Zhejiang officials, and they generally agreed with what Lu Yanshen said. So when he saw Ruan Yuan's replay, he decided to send personnel to conduct a thorough investigation.  The three people sent were Tuo Jin, Minister of Military Aircraft, Zhou Zhaoji, Minister of Punishment, and Lu Yinpu, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.  Among them, Zhou Zhaoji was the chief examiner of the Zhejiang Provincial Examination last year.

    Although it is a case investigation, as a minister, of course you should do errands, but what you should do more is to keep your body and mind in mind!  Lu Yinpu and two colleagues said, "This year is the emperor's 500,000th birthday, and the celebration is being prepared. It is inappropriate to raise a large prison; moreover, the emperor absolutely does not want to see Liu Jinmen (this refers to Liu Fenggao, whose nickname is Jinmen).  ) The crime was extremely serious, because not only was he guilty of being punished for his fifty thousand years, but Liu Jinmen was the one who revered the final version of Emperor Gaozong's records. Such a person was suddenly punished for a fraud case in the examination room, and it was inevitable that he would become a talking point. For example, someone just wanted to  Let me tell you, 'The person who edited the Qianlong Records turned out to be such a person? Think about it, will the Emperor feel better?"

    Lu Yinpu's comprehensive approach was immediately approved by Zhou Zhaoji and Tuo Jin. After the three people discussed it, they decided that Lu Yinpu would come forward to talk to Ruan Yuan, because although his fame was not as good as that of Ruan Yuan and Liu Fenggao, his scientific name was earlier than that of Ruan Yuan and Liu Fenggao.  These two people, in this way, can make his attitude more roundabout, he can be humble or arrogant, soft or hard. After he informed the three people of their decision and analyzed the pros and cons, Ruan Yuan sighed.  , finally telling the truth.

    It turned out that Liu Fenggao had indeed accepted a bribe from a provincial health official named Xu Buao. His family was originally very rich and he squandered a lot of money. He even took his money for the prison exams. Since things were going very smoothly,  Xu could not help but get carried away and speak carelessly, causing rumors to spread everywhere. There were even rumors in the province that he could win Jieyuan.

    "It's not that I dare to cover up the same year. I didn't know it before. I always thought that Liu Jin's family had too much morale and didn't act according to the rules. In addition, the scholars in Zhejiang are really hard to mess with. They like to use words to criticize academics and examiners. They are famous all over the world, so  Although I heard many rumors outside, I didn't take them seriously. I found out later that they were not true. However, the case was extremely serious. If I participated in the case, I would be jailed. If I took the seriousness as lightly, I would be committing the crime of covering up and being martyred, and I would be in a dilemma.  So the consequences will follow." Ruan Yuan finally said.

    When Li Ciming said this, it was already past noon, and everyone was eating and listening. Time flew by very fast, but when he said this, he paused, and everyone felt strange, "What happened next? What happened to the case?"

    Li Ciming smiled bitterly, "After this case, Liu Fenggao failed to recover. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he was a villain and was used by others to set off another huge case. This time, it was not just a small person who was unlucky.  Liu Fenggao is here."

    "Oh?" Sushun became more energetic. Not only him, but also Zaiying was curious, "What kind of big case is it?"

    Li Ciming deliberately didn't say it, not because he was covering up something for Liu Fenggao, but because he had some taboos. However, the two of them pressed hard and asked, so they couldn't say it anymore.
