After two quarters, Xu Qi'an treads Noble Spirit Building, stands in the building bottom, closes eyes with rapt attention the moment, leaves resolutely. 两刻钟后,许七安踏出浩气楼,站在楼底,闭目凝神片刻,毅然离开。 Leaves the yamen, rides the small mare, along spacious to inner city main road that being inconceivable, at high speed rushes to the Ministry of Justice yamen. 离开衙门,骑乘小母马,沿着宽敞到难以想象的内城主干道,快马加鞭的奔向刑部衙门。 When main road more than 100 meters in width, the direct link imperial city, is the Emperor journey road that takes. This width mainly to prevent the assassin ambushes in the roadside, once encounters the unexpected blow and assassination, the so spacious path then can provide enough cushion time for Imperial Army. 主干道宽100多米,直达皇城,是皇帝出行时走的路。这种宽度主要是为了防止刺客埋伏在路边,一旦遭遇冷箭和刺杀,如此宽敞的道路便能为禁军提供充足的缓冲时间。 Soon, arrives in the Ministry of Justice yamen. 不多时,抵达刑部衙门。 Xu Qi'an distant sees the Second Uncle Xu form, he wears armor holds sharply, should be patrolling the streets time receives the message, then catches up immediately. 许七安远远的看见许二叔的身影,他披甲持锐,应该是巡街的时候收到消息,便立刻赶来。 Second Uncle Xu by the guard of Ministry of Justice yamen, was blocked outside the front door. 许二叔被刑部衙门的守卫,拦在大门外。 two guards scolds loudly, put out a hand to push Second Uncle Xu fiercely, he does not dare to hit back, staggers the retreat. 两名守卫大声呵斥,其中一位伸手猛推了许二叔一下,他也不敢还手,踉跄后退。 „What's wrong, small Imperial Blade Guard does Company Commander, dare to rush to the Ministry of Justice yamen?” A guard points at the nose of Xu Pingzhi to scold, does not roll do not blame father to play rough. “怎么,一个小小的御刀卫百户,敢强闯刑部衙门？”一名守卫指着许平志的鼻子骂,再不滚别怪老子动粗。 Qi Refining Boundary Xu Pingzhi is enduring hardly, aggrieved getting hold of fist, sinking sound said: „I am the Xu Xinnian father, I have the power to visit prisoners.” 练气境的许平志硬忍着,憋屈的握紧拳头,沉声道:“我是许新年父亲,我有权力探监。” Another guard taunted: „The imperial civil service examination fraud felon, can not visit, this is custom until now. The ordinary man who your is not literate, understands a ball.” 另一位守卫嘲讽道:“科举舞弊重犯,不得探视,这是一直以来的规矩。你这个不识字的匹夫,懂个球。” Xu Pingzhi truly does not know, the imperial civil service examination fraud related case is remote to him, cannot contact. 许平志确实不知道,科举舞弊相关的案子离他过于遥远,接触不到。 „You also asked that I do want 32?” The Xu Pingzhi eyebrow raises, the anger such as boils. “那你们还问我要三十两？”许平志眉毛扬起,怒火如沸。 „How on the pit you, here is the Ministry of Justice yamen, you also dare to begin inadequately. You move one to try.” The guards sneer to say. “就坑你怎么了,这里是刑部衙门,你还敢动手不成。你动一个试试。”守卫冷笑道。 „Leg.” “嗬腿。” Another is simpler, saliva spits to Xu Pingzhi. 另一位更干脆,一口唾沫吐向许平志。 Xu Pingzhi quickly avoids. 许平志急忙避开。 two guards laughs wildly. 两名守卫猖狂大笑。 „Hū” “呼” Second Uncle Xu puts out the one breath slowly, looks two rows of soldiers who in a yamen walked, obviously, so long as he dares to cause trouble in the Ministry of Justice alley entrance, today cannot eat to capture. 许二叔缓缓吐出一口气,看了眼衙门里走出来的两列士卒,显然,只要他敢在刑部衙门口闹事,今儿就吃不了兜着走。 Delivers to the handle others hands in vain. 白白把把柄送到人家手里。 „Go away!” “滚！” The guards are looking disdainfully, scolded. 守卫睥睨着,呵斥道。 Dá dá dá suddenly, the rapid hoofbeat transmits, looks following the sound, a vigorous steed illness/quick to/clashes to come, outrageously dashing Ministry of Justice yamen. 哒哒哒突然,急促的马蹄声传来,循声看去,一匹矫健的骏马疾冲而来,悍然冲撞刑部衙门。 Hits to frowning to set upright the goal two guard. 撞向横眉竖目的两名守卫。 Bang! 砰！ And a guard evades it less, was hit the chest by the small mare, falls to fly layer on layer/heavily, struggled the moment, falls to the ground slowly, is injured cannot begin. 其中一位守卫避之不及,被小母马撞中胸口,重重摔飞出去,挣扎了片刻,缓缓倒地,受伤不能再起。 Some do really people dare to commit murder in the Ministry of Justice alley entrance unexpectedly? 竟然真有人敢在刑部衙门口行凶？ „Ningyan.” “宁宴。” Xu Pingzhi sees the nephew, feels relieved. 许平志见到侄儿,如释重负。 „Clang” drawing a sword sound links up into a single stretch, the guards in yamen hear the sound, holds the blade to rush, must dare to be cut to pieces in the fellow who the Ministry of Justice yamen causes trouble. “锵”拔刀声连成一片,衙门里的守卫听到动静,纷纷持刀奔出,要把敢在刑部衙门闹事的家伙千刀万剐。 But after they see clearly Silver Gong that the horseback sits high are Xu Qi'an, failed to explode. 可他们看清马背高坐的银锣是许七安后,一个个哑火了。 Is the guard of head takes back the blade, holds the fist in the other hand the sinking sound said: „Sir Xu, here is the Ministry of Justice yamen. You must know, dashing Ministry of Justice, injures the guard, light , is put in prison and exiles, heavy beheads.” 为首的守卫收回刀,抱拳沉声道:“许大人,这里是刑部衙门。您要知道,冲撞刑部,打伤守卫,轻则入狱、流放,重则斩首。” Xu Qi'an pays no attention, turns over/stands up dismount, tramples turns that leg and foot to be agile, the guard who avoids small mare dashing. 许七安不理,翻身下马,一脚踹翻那名腿脚利索,避开小母马冲撞的守卫。 That guard called out pitifully „aiyu”, tumbled in the place. “哎呦”那守卫惨叫一声,翻滚在地。 Xu Qi'an takes off blade after waist, carrying is one brushes in the hand, the scabbard brushes remaining silent that the body exudes, frightening. 许七安摘下腰后的佩刀,拎在手里就是一顿抽打,刀鞘抽打皮肉发出的闷声,让人心惊肉跳。 Guards the pitiful yell again and again. 守卫惨叫连连。 „Sir Xu!” “许大人！” „Called my Sir Viscount.” “叫我子爵大人。” Guarded the chieftain to choke, pretended not to hear, loudly shouted: „You when really Ministry of Justice does not have the expert, really did not fear that the flight of steps leading to a palace hall drop crime, does not fear the Great Feng regulation.” 守卫头目噎了一下,假装没听见,大喝道:“你真当刑部没有高手,真不怕陛下降罪,不怕大奉律法吗。” „You graze a horse although, this exposes the matter unable to level, my Xu Qi'an in capital on white mixed.” Xu Qi'an sneers, brandishes the scabbard to continue to brush. “你尽管放马过来,这点破事摆不平,我许七安在京城就白混了。”许七安冷笑一声,挥舞刀鞘继续抽打。 That guard most starts also to avoid, or lifts the hand to resist, after pulling out more than ten next, the eyes start to turn white, suffocates. 那守卫最开始还能躲避,或抬手抵挡,抽了十几下后,双眼开始翻白,奄奄一息。 Guards the chieftain to clench the teeth, grasps the back of the hand blue vein of blade to split jumps, actually does not dare really to begin with extremely arrogant Silver Gong. 守卫头目咬紧牙关,握刀的手背青筋绽跳,却不敢真的与狂妄银锣动手。 The scene that on the same day sparred came clearly into view, the Xu Qi'an momentum has not diverged, in this crucial point, when the idler does not dare to meet the tough head-on with toughness with him. 当日斗法的景象历历在目,许七安的声势还没散去,这个节骨眼上,等闲人不敢与他硬碰硬。 What is most essential, this person has to exempt the dead gold medal guard, even if kills one in the Ministry of Justice alley entrance greatly, finally is also dismisses from office being removed from office, the life is worry-free. 最关键的是,此人有免死金牌护身,纵然在刑部衙门口大杀一通,最后也不过是罢官革职,性命无忧。 Sees to guard also remains the one breath, Xu Qi'an gives up, hangs the waist blade, said lightly: „Three ten taels of silver, consider two to invite the doctor's fee of doctor, as well as soup charges for medicine.” 见守卫还剩一口气,许七安罢手,把佩刀挂回后腰,淡淡道:“三十两银子,就当是两位请大夫的诊金,以及汤药费。” Vented anger, he stares is guarding the chieftain, said: „Goes in circular, I must see Xu Xinnian.” 出完气,他盯着守卫头目,道:“进去通传,我要见许新年。” hearing this, the guard chieftain has not rejected, has not responded, hints with the look brings in the yamen to treat the two injured, deeply looked at Xu Qi'an, returned the yamen. 闻言,侍卫头目没有拒绝,也没回应,用眼神示意手下把两名伤者抬进衙门治疗,深深看了眼许七安,退回了衙门内部。 In a moment, the guard chieftain returns, said: „High Official Sun is invited.” 俄顷,侍卫头目返回,道:“孙尚书有请。” Xu Qi'an the reins hitch on the stone lion of alley entrance, then greeted: „second uncle, we go in together.” 许七安把缰绳栓在衙门口的石狮子上,回头招呼:“二叔,我们一起进去。” Xu Pingzhi silent following, two people entered the yamen, across the front courtyard and winding corridor, Second Uncle Xu opens mouth, wants to say anything, but chose silent. 许平志沉默的跟上,两人进了衙门,穿过前院、回廊,许二叔张了张嘴,想说点什么,但选择了沉默。 The guards led the uncle and child to enter side hall, on the side hall seat of honor, sits puts on High Official Sun of red robe, the complexion was serious, unemotional waiting. 守卫带着叔侄俩进了偏厅,偏厅的主位上,坐着穿绯袍的孙尚书,脸色严肃,面无表情的等待着。 „Has seen High Official Sun.” Xu Qi'an holds the fist in the other hand. “见过孙尚书。”许七安抱拳。 High Official Sun does not look askance, in the eye as if no Xu Qi'an, said lightly: „Was short of the two character.” 孙尚书目不斜视,眼里似乎没有许七安,淡淡道:“少了两个字。” Stared at High Official Sun to look curvingly for several seconds, Xu Qi'an the vertebra, saw right in front of one tone of higher authority by the subordinate, cups the fist and says: „humble subordinate has seen High Official Sun. humble subordinate wants to see Xu Xinnian” 盯着孙尚书看了几秒,许七安弯曲了脊椎,以下级面见上级的语气,抱拳道:“卑职见过孙尚书。卑职想见一见许新年” Sees this scene, the eye of Xu Pingzhi somewhat turns sour suddenly. 见到这一幕,许平志的眼睛突然有些发酸。 High Official Sun shows satisfaction smile, said: „The imperial civil service examination fraud is the big crime, the family member visiting is the way things should be.” 孙尚书露出满意笑容,道:“科举舞弊是大罪,家属探视乃人之常情。” Suddenly, shifting to a new subject: „It is not good.” 突然,话锋一转:“不行。” Xu Pingzhi clenches jaws. 许平志咬牙切齿。 Then, High Official Sun no longer sees the uncle and child, carried tea. On the government, the words told only half, the master serves tea actually does not drink, is representing seeing a visitor out. 说完,孙尚书不再看叔侄俩,端起了茶盏。在官场上,话说到一半,主人端茶却不喝,代表着送客。 „Did not disturb High Official Sun.” Xu Qi'an turns around to leave. “不打扰孙尚书了。”许七安转身离开。 Looks at uncle and child's back, High Official Sun was saying lightly: „In courtyard has several chaste tree twigs, heard that Sir Xu builds the Buddhism golden body, is interested in trying.” 望着叔侄俩的背影,孙尚书淡淡道:“院子里有几根荆条,听说许大人修成佛门金身,有没有兴趣试试。” Leaving that Xu Qi'an does not return. 许七安头也不回的走人。 Xu Pingzhi goes out of the Ministry of Justice yamen, scolded: „Son-of-bitch High Official, but also wants to make you carry the chaste tree twigs to apologize, the father was draws a sword to cut him, will not comply.” 许平志边走出刑部衙门,边骂道:“狗娘养的尚书,还想让你背荆条请罪,老子就是拔刀砍了他,也不会答应。” „How second uncle comes is so quick?” Xu Qi'an asked. “二叔怎么来的这么快？”许七安问道。 „Was was too slow, after I who you came received the message, then goes home to comfort your aunt and Lingyue immediately, finally is completely useless” the Second Uncle Xu headache saying: “是你来的太慢了,我收到消息后,便立刻回家安抚你婶婶和玲月,结果完全没用”许二叔头疼道: „Knows that cries, oh, Ningyan, is this matter supposed to do?” “就知道哭哭哭,唉,宁宴,这事儿如何是好？” Although Xu Pingzhi is vulgar martial artist, but Directorate of Education and Yunlu Academy „celebrating a holiday”, he knows. On come road, analyzed one wave diligently, feels second son to be put in prison, is most likely related with this matter. 许平志虽是粗鄙的武夫,但国子监和云鹿书院的“过节”,他是知道的。来的路上,努力分析了一波,觉得二郎入狱,十有八九和这事有关。 „This matter is complex, second uncle you first go back, I have the matter office.” “这件事非常复杂,二叔你先回去,我还有事办。” Xu Qi'an does not want to waste the time, steps up to the small mare, dá dá dá runs far following the street. 许七安不想浪费时间,跨上小母马,哒哒哒的顺着街道跑远。 In his mind, appears the Wei Yuan words: 他的脑海里,浮现魏渊的话: The first step, you must prevent Ministry of Justice to confess under torture, prefecture yamen Prefecture Governor Chen is slick for the officer, being able to achieve success one way or another, once this matter is solid, he is not willing to offend High Official Sun mostly. 第一步,你要阻止刑部屈打成招,府衙的陈府尹为官油滑,左右逢源,一旦此事坐实,他多半不愿得罪孙尚书。 „High Official Sun hates to the marrow of the bones about me, the imperial civil service examination embezzlement happen to gives the opportunity that he retaliated, even, this is he promotes. Again bad, is one of the participants, wants to make him kindly treat second son, is almost the not possible matter.” “孙尚书对我恨之入骨,科举舞弊案正好给了他报复的机会,甚至,这就是他推动的。再不济,也是参与者之一,想让他善待二郎,几乎是不可能的事。” The small mare runs thin perspiration, pants, finally stopped in an outer city courtyard. 小母马跑出一层细汗,气喘吁吁,终于在外城一座院子停了下来。 „Daoist, Daoist, rivers and lakes helps in an emergency” “道长,道长,江湖救急” Xu Qi'an shoves open the front gate, directly soars the inside room, sees Daoist Golden Lotus serene lying down on the bed, probably fell asleep generally. 许七安推开院门,直奔里屋,看见金莲道长安详的躺在床上,像是睡着了一般。 And got up the cat to go to urgent him, saw this scene, the corners of the mouth cannot bear twitch. 又,又上猫去了火急火燎的他,见到这一幕,嘴角忍不住抽搐。 After having the previous small mare has loved tramples, as well as needs help from the goal of person, Xu Qi'an has not awakened Daoist Golden Lotus with the physical way, sits waits for near the table silently, less than three minutes, the entrance presents together slender Shadow. 有过上一次小母马爱的后踹,以及有求于人的目的,许七安没有用物理方式唤醒金莲道长,坐在桌边默默等待,三分钟不到,门口出现一道纤细的影子。 „What matter.” “什么事。” Daoist Golden Lotus squats in the threshold, the sound is temperate, as if has been familiar with this appearance to talk. 金莲道长蹲在门槛,声音温和平静,似乎已经习惯这副模样交谈。 „My younger male cousin Xu Xinnian was involved in the imperial civil service examination embezzlement” “我堂弟许新年被卷入科举舞弊案” Xu Qi'an told simply the long and short of the story, then said: „Daoist, I need your help.” 许七安简单的讲述了事情的来龙去脉,而后说道:“道长,我需要你的帮助。” Orange cat amber brown pupil spooky staring, vibrates the air, said: 橘猫琥珀色的瞳孔幽幽的凝望,震动空气,说道: „I know insufficiently about the Great Feng government, is unable to put forward the effective proposal to you, this matter you should not look for me, Wei Yuan is the politics fights the expert. If the politics fights a minute/share of grade, Wei Yuan is second grade.” “我对大奉官场了解不够,无法给你提出有效建议,这件事你不该找我,魏渊才是政斗高手。如果政斗分品级的话,魏渊是二品。” Originally very anxious Xu Qi'an, hears this topic, cannot bear go: „Is only second grade? Who is first grade?” 本来很焦急的许七安,听到这个话题,忍不住接了下去:“只是二品？那谁是一品？” The orange cat said with a laugh: „ Naturally is Yuanjing Emperor, by the Emperor plan, Yuanjing Emperor has reached the pinnacle. Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen be likely politics to fight first grade, but their idea does not gather, the political view is different. 橘猫笑呵呵道:“自然是元景帝,论帝王心术,元景帝已经登峰造极。魏渊和王贞文都有望政斗一品,但他们理念不合,政见不同。 „Yuanjing Emperor places on two fierce tigers court specially, oneself true sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.” “元景帝特意把两头猛虎放在朝堂上,自身真正的坐山观虎斗。” Reasonable wait/etc, you special did not say that aren't many to the court situation understanding? Xu Qi'an is scolding at heart, on the mouth asked: 有道理啊等等,你特么不是说对朝堂情况了解不多？许七安心里骂着,嘴上则问: „That Daoist felt, the politics does fight to exceed grade existence?” “那道长觉得,政斗有超越品级的存在吗？” „Naturally has,” Daoist Golden Lotus lifts the claw, licked licking, said: Highest boundary that „politics fights, is the military force coerces all, effective and influential word, no one dares to disobey. Each founding Emperor is so.” “当然有,”金莲道长抬起爪子,舔了舔,说道:“政斗的最高境界,就是武力压服一切,一言九鼎,无人敢违逆。每一任开国皇帝都是如此。” Daoist was affected by the habit of cat probably gradually, any lifeform, was actually the body controls the brain, the hormone of body secretion was deciding the matter that you must do hungry must eat meal, is stranded must sleep, thirsty must drink water, the treasury filled wanted the gives free residence female pilgrim, then the issue came, did Daoist Golden Lotus like in the female cat female cat? 道长好像渐渐被猫的习性影响了果然,任何生物,其实是身体控制着大脑,身体分泌的激素决定了你要做的事饿了要吃饭,困了要睡觉,渴了要喝水,金库满了要施舍给女香客,那么问题来了,金莲道长喜欢上雌猫还是上雌猫？ At this time, the orange cat sighed, put down the claw, said spookily: 这时,橘猫叹息一声,放下爪子,幽幽道: „You as if like very much on the life and death edge wander.” “你似乎很喜欢在生与死的边缘徘徊。” And jumps repeatedly horizontally? The Xu Qi'an mind flashes through these words subconsciously, then changes hastily the topic, said: „Daoist, I want to ask you to help” 并反复横跳？许七安脑海下意识闪过这句话,然后连忙把话题转回来,说道:“道长,我想请你帮个忙” Outside the canal following capital, toward south, locates in the suburbs ten li (0.5 km), the lake, the smoke wave is vast, the cross-strait mountain surrounds, in lake lotus Large expanse , the scenery is quite beautiful. 顺着京城外的运河,往南,在城郊十里处,有一片湖,烟波浩渺,两岸青山环绕,湖中荷花成片,景色极为秀丽。 The lakeside also has the peasant family of kitchen chimney smoke, the teahouse and restaurant. 湖边还有炊烟袅袅的农家,茶馆和酒楼。 Because of this place in the Beijing suburbs, goes by boat then to achieve, is quickly convenient, therefore in the spring of every year, then some innumerable going by boat roaming lake young young master and wealthy family thousand gold (daughter), are really lively. 因为此地就在京郊,乘船便能达到,快捷方便,因此每年春季,便有无数乘船游湖的年轻公子和富家千金,甚是热闹。 An exquisite embroidery ship anchors in the shore, Wang Simu today is the splendid attire appearance, wears the present popular long wide sleeve fine gauze skirt, the pattern color and bottom color are the same, not only obviously complicated fine, and low-key reserved. 一艘精巧的绣船停泊在岸边,王思慕今天可谓是盛装打扮,穿着时下流行的广袖轻纱裙,花纹颜色与底色相同,既显繁复精美,又低调内敛。 made-up face is fine, is combing the attractive chignon, pitch-black beautiful hair within embellishes the gold hairpin jade hairpin, comes according to the appointment/date standard completely. 妆容精致,梳着好看的发髻,乌黑秀发间点缀金钗玉簪,完全是按约会的标准来的。 But a double-hour passed by, others roaming Huyou back and forth, the Young Lady Wang ship also stopped in same place, the mood is not very beautiful. 可是一个时辰过去了,人家游湖游了一个来回,王小姐的船还停在原地,心情就很不美丽。 „Young lady, ok, we go back.” The maidservants urged low voice: „Principal Graduate Xu will not come.” “小姐,算了,咱们回去吧。”丫鬟小声劝道:“许会元不会来了。” „Is your news has not delivered?” Wang Simu does not accept this reality, stares a maidservant gently, tries to give Xu Xinnian to fling the pot. “是不是你们消息没送到？”王思慕不接受这个现实,轻轻瞪一眼丫鬟,试图给许新年甩锅。 „Where dares, definitely delivered.” The maidservant grievance said. “哪敢啊,肯定是送到了的。”丫鬟委屈道。 Wang Simu stays for a long time, in the bright eyes is difficult to cover loses, said in a soft voice: „, Goes back.” 王思慕呆坐许久,明眸中难掩失落,轻声道:“罢了,回去吧。” „Yeah.” The maidservants vividly complied with one, the half step left the cabin, went to the stern to inform the boatman to return. “哎。”丫鬟轻快的应了一声,小步离开船舱,去船尾通知船夫返航。 The boatmen come up from the water lira the anchor, paddles the oar with joint forces, embroiders the ship to march forward slowly, returns to capital along the canal. 船夫们把锚从水里拉上来,合力划动船桨,绣船徐徐行进,沿着运河返回京城。 Returned to the capital wharf, Wang Simu entered waits in the carriage of roadside, told: „ Lan'er, you go to Xu Residence now instantly, said that I must look for Young Lady Lingyue to play. 回了京城码头,王思慕进入等候在路边的马车,吩咐道:“兰儿,你现在即刻去许府,就说我要去找玲月小姐玩儿。 „I wait for half double-hour again set off here.” “我在这里等半个时辰再出发。” „Young lady, why this is.” The maidservants wrinkle the small brow. “小姐,这是为何啊。”丫鬟皱紧小眉头。 „Even if he has no intention to me, clearness that I must know.” Young Lady Wang attacks “纵使他对我无意,我也要知道的明明白白。”王小姐非常攻 Spring examination Principal Graduate Xu Xinnian, on suspicion of the fraud, was arrested by Ministry of Justice, detains into the prison. 春闱会元许新年,因涉嫌舞弊,被刑部缉拿,押入大牢。 This is doomed to vibrate the entire capital case, spread from prefecture yamen and Ministry of Justice, again through Six Ministries, quietly spread entire capital government. 这则注定将震动整个京城的大案,从府衙和刑部流传了出去,再通过六部,悄然蔓延整个京城官场。 After several th the fermentation, the dissemination, all knew on all the people again at the appointed time. 再经几日发酵,传播,届时就全民皆知了。 When midday rest, the officials and petty local officials of getting to know each other well gather in restaurant, teahouse and other places, the discussion imperial civil service examination embezzlement. 午休时,相熟的官员、吏员们聚在酒楼、茶馆等地方,讨论科举舞弊案。 „I know, the Yunlu Academy scholar does obtain Principal Graduate, court gentlemen will comply?

Can't our scholars spirit light one presently, the skilled artist occasionally?” “屁话,这世间莫非就一个许七安会作诗？我们读书人就不能灵光一现,妙手偶得？” „Ok, disputed this not to have the significance.

I remember that the Yuanjing 12 years, have had an embezzlement, three scholars were involved, the case checked for two years, finally gave to put actually, but the reputation completely destroyed, the studies left uncultivated.” “行了,争执这个没有意义。许会元这次栽定了,不管有没有舞弊,前途尽毁。我记得元景十二年,有过一起舞弊案,三名学子牵扯其中,案子查了两年,最后倒是给放了,但名声尽毁,学业荒废。” „The Yuanjing 20 years have also had similar case, but that time is proven, the scholar and examiners of involvement were given to cut by your majesty.” “元景二十年也发生过类似案子,不过那次是证据确凿,涉案的学子和主考官都被陛下给斩了。” „This case , if solid, as Xu Xinnian Yunlu Academy scholar hiss, ponders, the possibility of no favorable turn, you said that Duke Wei can make a move?” “此案要是坐实,以许新年云鹿书院学子的身份嘶,左思右想,毫无转机的可能,你们说魏公会不会出手？” „Very likely, that Xu Qi'an is the Duke Wei trusted aide, asked Duke Wei to act surely.” “极有可能,那许七安是魏公的心腹,必定求魏公出手。” „That Duke Wei, if looks on hands tied?” “那魏公要是束手旁观呢？” „Duke Wei does not act, that also who can rescue Principal Graduate Xu, counts on Xu Qi'an that martial artist? Solves a case and kills the enemy, he perhaps is a expert. The way on government, trivial martial artist can ponder over can it be that thoroughly.” “魏公不出手,那还有谁能救许会元,指望许七安那个武夫吗？破案、杀敌,他或许是一把好手。官场上的门道,岂是区区武夫能琢磨透彻的。” Stays overnight in somebody's home Chu Yuanzhen in old friend family/home, the lunch time, in the good friend mouth that also returns from the yamen knew this matter. 借宿在故友家中的楚元缜,午膳时间,也从衙门归来的好友口中得知了此事。 Third fell into the imperial civil service examination embezzlement Third, although apex was intelligent, but Yunlu Academy and Directorate of Education battle was the irreversible situation, non- can make up for the best result intelligently is to abolish the academic honor, Third cannot for the officer, this was the loss of royal government 三号陷入科举舞弊案中了三号虽然绝顶聪明,但云鹿书院和国子监的争斗属不可逆的大势,非聪明能弥补最好的结局就是革除功名,三号不能为官,这是朝廷的损失 „I heard that this matter is new Chief Censor of the Right submits a written statement to the impeachment, but supposing, un, various parties or the onlookings, or boost in secret, Xu Xinnian danger.” The good friends said. “我听说此事是新任的右都御史上书弹劾而起,但估摸着,嗯,各党派或旁观,或暗中助力,许新年危矣。”好友说道。 Chu Yuanzhen sighed, sinking sound said: „I was weary of the factional strife, leaves the temple.
