Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Chapter 78

Hua Dingwen's medical skills are definitely among the best in the capital. He personally came to the door to apologize and even treat his youngest son. The Zhou family is naturally proud.Due to various considerations, most of the empresses of this dynasty were not born high. The Zhou family was originally a small family, but it became a little bit arrogant because of the birth of a queen mother.The queen mother was very kind to her natal family and took care of her for many years, making the Zhou family rich and powerful.But the queen mother is old after all, and it seems impossible for the Zhou family to have a second queen, so naturally they can only try to find a place in the capital to preserve the prosperity and wealth for a long time.Originally, if he stayed in another place, he might not be so feared by the emperor, but after all, being in the capital is different from foreign officials, even if it is a little risk, it is worth it.

It's a pity that I had chosen the Lin family before. I didn't know that what happened to the Lin family a while ago, now the whole family has been dismissed from their posts, and they can only be locked up in prison or at home, waiting for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find out the charges and then be convicted by the emperor. , even if the emperor misses the old love, conservatively, he would be exiled.In this way, they lost a daughter in vain, not to mention they didn't get anything.

After knowing how powerful the emperor is, it's not that they never thought about getting closer to the Hua family.But the whole Hua family is really disgusting. The old man Hua is a good player playing haha ​​and Tai Chi, and his ability to pretend to be confused is first-rate.The eldest son is an imperial physician who doesn't care about his affairs, and he usually concentrates on studying medical skills and it is difficult to get friendship.The second son has no flaws at all, and people can't find a reason to win him over.Now I have the opportunity to get involved with the Hua family. Although it is not good at this end, it might get better when they come and go. Hua Er is not married yet, and their family still has a daughter who is waiting to be married.

So put on a good posture, received Hua Dingwen's gift, and disciplined a few ignorant children together, no longer sincerely apologized for his son's unruly words, and thoughtfully asked a few words about the two young masters of the Hua family injury.I was very happy to see that Hua Dingwen took over the mistake very well.Hello, hello, everyone, after a good time, someone took Hua Dingwen to see a doctor for his youngest son.

If other people who know the Hua family are here, they will definitely tell the Zhou family to be careful. Hua Dingwen never takes the initiative to see a doctor. If your two families are in trouble like this, they beat up the two young masters, and the Hua family is out again. The famous Xiaodujichang, why did you come to make amends and cure your son?There must be fraud in this!

But the Zhou family didn't have such a person by their side now, so Hua Dingwen entered a small courtyard and saw the boy from the Zhou family lying on the bed.

Hua Dingwen looked it over carefully, well, the two younger brothers are indeed not ashamed, their heads have more than doubled in size.The corners of the shattered and swollen mouth were turned over, and it could be seen that there were indeed a few teeth missing inside.The exposed right leg has been tied with a splint and hung up. After taking off the clothes, Bai Zhanji has countless bruises on his body. He has applied a lot of medicine, which seems to be quite good medicine.

Hua Dingwen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. A person who is usually gentle and cheerful somehow had a cloudy air. He felt a chill on his back when he followed behind. On a lot of mercy.

The third and fourth children of the Hua family did not lose some boxing skills when they were young, but after all, they can only be regarded as embroidered legs. Just interrupted.Therefore, it was broken very miserably, and it was all deformed.The doctor the Zhou family had brought in before had good medical skills, but after being beaten so badly, it is considered pretty good that he could connect his legs.

After Hua Dingwen took over, he closed the door and worked in the room for two hours. During the period, he screamed and wailed, but when the door opened, the legs that were tied round and round seemed to be straight. Quite a few, and the fainted young master of the Zhou family said in a hoarse voice that the pain was not so great.

The Zhou family sent him away with great gratitude, Hua Dingwen was very polite and friendly with the Zhou family, and took the young man back with him.

So when they went to court the next day, the Zhou family saw Taishi Hua who hadn't come to court for a long time, and went over to greet him friendly.Taishi Hua also chatted with the Zhou family with a very easy-to-talk appearance.

After going to court, the Holy Majesty first did some official business, then finally confirmed the arrangement of the palace examination, and then turned his head to Taishi Hua.This gentleman has always disliked getting up early to go to the court, especially after he became stable on the throne, he no longer appeared in the court.Imakami was grateful and naturally respected him.But why did it suddenly come today?

Hua Taishi took a step out of the queue, knelt down with a bang, and cried loudly on the ground: "Your Majesty! Please be the master of the old minister!"

The first thought in Imakami's mind is: Today, it is estimated that I will not be able to go to court for a while.

Naturally, Taishi Hua couldn't say that his son was beaten. He first burst into tears and said how loyal and hardworking he was, then how kind and friendly he was, and how much he treated talented people. Admired, respected and so on and so forth.The emperor was confused by the words that these eight poles could not be hit together, but he continued to listen patiently.

Finally, after a high-profile cry, Taishi Hua burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, I wish Xu Wen's three new scholars are all talented people, and they are also known as talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Just because they became close friends with the two sons of the old minister I just stayed at my home to prepare for the exam, and this time the three of them won the rankings at the same time, it is the emperor's insight and ability to achieve this good thing. The old minister has never leaked the exam questions! Please the emperor make the decision for the old minister!" After finishing speaking, bang bang bang Three knocked their heads down!

No matter how good the temper was today, he was confused by anger, stood up and shouted angrily: "Bastard! Who the hell said that nonsense?"

The chief examiner facing up was also frightened, and immediately came out and knelt down: "Report to the emperor, this matter is purely nonsense! The ministers guarantee that there will be no leaks in the exam questions this time! And during the exam, I will also be strict. Be careful, make sure that all candidates do not have any cheating behavior before starting the test. And I wish Yunming, Xu Zhenqing, Wenbi and the three candidates are indeed outstanding talents and literary talent, I will wait for the official examination to be selected among them, and there is absolutely no selfishness! Please check clearly!"

The rest of the examiners and the generals in charge of the examination room also came out to express their opinions one by one. The emperor looked much better now. He sat down and asked everyone to stand up, and said kindly to Grand Master Hua who was still sobbing and choking: "Teacher, you And calm down. This matter is very important, if you talk about it in detail, I will definitely return your family and the three candidates to their innocence."

Hua Taishi said after thanking him: "Your Majesty, after the ranking was released yesterday, some students in Beiyan Academy in the suburbs of Beijing rumored that the old minister leaked questions to three candidates, so that these three candidates with mediocre intelligence can enter the ranking. Studying in this academy, I immediately told the matter to the old minister. Your Majesty, the old minister has the conscience of heaven and earth, and swore with his life that he would never leak the question! But the rumor spread quickly, and half of the people in the academy Believe me! I have been an official for decades, and I don’t want to destroy my innocence all my life, so I ask the emperor to be the master of the old minister, investigate this matter strictly, and return the old minister’s innocence!"

The Zhou family's eyes were darkened, and the Hua family was too sleazy. Here they came to apologize, and on the other side they bit them hard in front of the emperor!But they didn't dare to admit it, if they did, it would prove that they knew about it, if Grand Master Hua turned around and said that they instructed his youngest son to spread the word, then the Zhou family would be finished.So they could only follow other ministers and ask the emperor to investigate the matter strictly.

The emperor didn't know what happened yesterday, but the impact of it was too bad. The most important thing is that it happened in Beiyan Academy.It is the place where most of the children of the capital study, including the children of officials, merchants and gentry. Is it worth spreading the word?Check, must check!Let's see who is looking for death to spread such words from behind, what is the purpose!

It's just that this matter can't be handed over to Hua Dingwu. After all, it has something to do with the Hua family and needs to be avoided. However, there are few places in the court that can investigate such things?Just hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!

As soon as the emperor ordered it, the Zhou family felt a mouthful of blood pouring up and almost spewing red, and they hated so much that they just wanted to hang the youngest son up and beat him to death.

After comforting Taishi Hua for a while, and then strictly ordering the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter to the bottom, the emperor will go down.

Where did the Ministry of Punishment know the cause and effect, and immediately sent someone to Beiyan Academy.The head of the mountain sighed, knowing that the one who should come could not escape, so he explained the matter clearly from the beginning to the end, and then called several students who participated in the fight to testify.

After all, it happened just yesterday. The students remembered it very well, and they explained the matter clearly word by word. The people in the punishment department had a headache when they heard it. They dared to think that the Hua family was seeking revenge from the Zhou family.The students were asked to draw a charge on the testimony, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment hurried back and reported the matter to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice felt a headache when he read the testimonies and listened to the narration of his subordinates. Although everyone in the Hua family is relatively low-key except Hua Er, they have a very good relationship with the emperor after all. There is no girl in the Hua family, otherwise there would be no Empress Dowager Zhou talking in the palace. for?How could such a family be picked and bitten casually?After thinking about it, he didn't send someone to Zhou's house immediately, but sent someone to Hua's house first.

The Hua family was waiting for them to come, and the two young masters who had been beaten to the point of being out of shape were brought out from the study, and they explained the matter eloquently. The Zhou family faction slandered first, it was the Zhou family faction who attacked first, it was the Zhou family faction who beat people first!In other words, it was the Zhou family who were making trouble!

The Hua family secretly confiscated a lot of benefits, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were not stupid. Knowing that the Hua family had the upper hand this time, they naturally followed suit tacitly.According to them, the Zhou family had a conspiracy, they just wanted to get rid of the Lahua family, and they just wanted to cause trouble in the capital!

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments naturally knew the meaning of the words of several subordinates, but neither of these two families was easy to mess with. Whether he wanted to face the queen mother or the emperor now was the basis for the final judgment of this case.But the smart ones naturally know who to turn to.

So in the morning of the third day, the emperor asked about the progress of the investigation.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice came out of the class to report: "My Majesty, I have sent people to Beiyan Academy yesterday. According to the head of the academy and several students present, this remark has been spread before the announcement. After the announcement, there are More students found out about this, and it spread to the whole school for a while. After careful investigation, Wei Chen learned that the rumors were released by four students from the intermediate class, but they left soon after the results were announced. Weichen believes that there must be something inside the news and rumors before the announcement of the rankings, and it cannot be just a few students talking nonsense. Weichen has already sent people to arrest the four students and punish them severely Ask, I will definitely investigate and find out!"

The emperor was very satisfied, and didn't ask to see the case files, so he ordered the Ministry of Punishments to continue the investigation, not to miss any clues.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice returned to his throne after complying with the decree. He lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart. He could naturally feel the urgent gaze of the Zhou family nearby, but he just pretended to be confused.

The Zhou family boy and several other students who were recuperating at home were suddenly handcuffed and chained by several officials who rushed in, dragged them off the bed, and stuffed them into the prison car.The women of several families were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they screamed for the sky.

The Zhou family was not in a hurry to go home after the court, and hurriedly went to see the queen mother.After being summoned by the Empress Dowager Zhou, she listened to another version, and she was so angry that her eyes were blurred. This Hua family is deceiving people too much!He actually did this to his natal family!She immediately called for the emperor, and the emperor listened to it with raised eyebrows, and said slowly: "Then we can only know which one is right after the results of the investigation by the Ministry of Punishment."

Which one is right?It's definitely not the Zhou family's reason.The Empress Dowager Zhou was even more furious, scolding the emperor for mobilizing so many teachers and mobilizing people because of the verbal dispute between the two children.The emperor quietly raised his eyebrows: "If this is true as the queen mother said, then the youngest son of the Zhou family is at least sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is already at the age of marrying a wife and having children to be a husband and a father. Don't you know what to say? What should I say and what should I say? And these words, why others don’t pass them on, but they come from his mouth. Queen Mother, if he says a word, I may have to lose three loyal ministers and three new scholars. This year's Jinshi will also be implicated, if I can't find out, how can I face the world. The Empress Dowager doesn't have to deal with this matter, naturally the Ministry of Punishment can give the world a justice."

The Empress Dowager Zhou watched the emperor stride out of the palace gate, then looked at the anxious Zhou family next to her, raised her trembling fingers and pointed at them, unable to utter a word, she fainted from anger past.

The queen mother fainted, but the whole Hua family was peaceful.However, in order to prevent it from affecting Zhu Xuwen's three people's palace examination tomorrow, this matter was strictly suppressed, and none of them knew about it, not even Tang Shen.However, Tang Shen was busy dealing with Hua Dingwu, who had a good taste every day, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these things.Hua Dingwen ignored the Zhou family boy after tossing it hard, Hua Dingwu didn't care about Tang Shen every day, Mrs. Hua never got involved with men and didn't ask about it, and the two Hua family boys didn't care. There is no chance to inquire about copying books in the study.On the contrary, Taishi Hua and Mrs. Zhu, who is still here, gather together every day to mutter and pay special attention to this matter.

After the palace examination on the third day, the Zhou family heard that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had punished several children, so they finally couldn't help but came to the Hua family.
