Chapter 35 True and False

Seeing that Meng Jinglun did not know the sarcasm in the captain's words, they were not ashamed but proud, and all covered their mouths and couldn't help laughing.

Master Meng stared at Meng Jinglun, shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart, "The straw bag is a straw bag. Even if he is the champion, he is still the straw bag champion."

"Your Majesty is here!" The cry of the palace came from the outside and inside.

Captain Tong said to the officials, "The emperor is here, and we will wait to welcome you out of the palace." A large and small officials went out to welcome him in turn, followed closely by Zhu Gongsheng.

Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment and followed at the end. He wanted to see what the Nine-Year Plan looked like.

Everyone knelt outside the Yingwu Hall and waited for the little yellow gate to finally shout, "The emperor is here!" Everyone bowed to the mountain and shouted " long live".

Lu Zheng quietly raised his head and saw that the emperor was wearing twelve rows of crowns, wearing a cluster of dragon robes and boots on a yellow satin black bottom. Because his face was blocked by the crown, he only faintly looked at the yellow and yellow. With the help of two eunuchs, he walked slowly.

The emperor nodded and said, "Fed your body." Bento entered the Yingwu Hall first.

After everyone got up, they also entered the hall back and forth. The emperor sat under the middle hall and said, "I can't sit for a long time because I'm not feeling well. Let's have a banquet." His personal eunuch ordered, "Let's have a banquet!"

The emperor waved his hand to everyone and said, "Sit down."

Master Meng smiled and said, "Everyone sit down. Your Majesty invited you to be on the list today. It can be said that the emperor's kindness is magnificent. Don't be restrained." After saying that, he sat down first.

When everyone heard this, they also sat down one after another. They saw that the Yingwu Hall was very large, with hundreds of tables and nearly 1,000 people sitting, still seemed empty.

The cooks in the imperial dining room brought the dishes, and the little yellow door served the dishes one by one on the food plate. Suddenly, the fragrance was fragrant and mouth-watering.

The craftsmanship of the imperial chefs in the palace is really good, just like Lu Zheng, a monk who has been in a remote valley for a long time. Seeing that these dishes are full of color, fragrance, he can't help but want to taste it.

Meng Jinglun swallowed his saliva and stared at a crystal elbow. Lu Zheng saw it and laughed secretly in his heart.

Then a large pot of blue and white porcelain bottled wine was served on each table. Although the lid of the bottle was not opened, the fragrance of the wine had permeated the whole hall.

The emperor took the silver chopsticks handed over by the eunuch, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, and said, "Let's move the chopsticks!"

Meng Jinglun couldn't wait to pour a glass of wine. He tasted it first and sighed, "Good wine!" Then he picked up a big elbow and ate a big piece, completely ignoring the sitting tribute.

At this time, the emperor raised his glass and said, "The three princes love you and the six ministers, and you can toast all the sons on my behalf."

Master Meng stood up, nodded and smiled, "Follow the order. Your Majesty is in poor health, it's better to recuperate. This wine will be handled by me.

As soon as he said this, the emperor's body couldn't help shaking gently. Lu Zheng secretly paid attention to the emperor's behavior and always felt that the emperor was strange, especially the face made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Now when the emperor heard Meng Taishi's words, he couldn't help but move.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone became more and more interested, the emperor said to the eunuch beside him, "Take the roster, and I will immediately grant these tribute officials and do their duties for the court."

The official of the Ministry of Ceremonies hurriedly handed over the roster to the eunuch, who turned it over to the emperor.

All the tribute students sitting under held their breath and wished to raise their ears to hear it.

The emperor opened the first page and said, "The champion Meng Jinglun came forward to listen to the seal."

Meng Jinglun was desperately fighting with a roast duck. After listening to the word Feng, he hurriedly wiped his greasy dirty hands in front of his chest. He bowed to the Danchi and shouted, "Ha Long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

The emperor said, "Give you Jinshi and brother, edited by Shu Hanlin Academy."

Meng Jinglun listened and was full of joy on his face. Long live the mountain again. At this time, Lu Zheng suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this person can only win the first place by secretly cheating. Please check it clearly!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Those raised sons also vaguely felt that Meng Jinglun's top name was not true. Now when he saw Lu Zheng come forward to expose it, they nodded one after another.

Master Meng's face darkened when he heard this, and the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies were even more frightened. Meng Jinglun was stunned at first, and then said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, Lu Zheng wronged me! He had a grudge against me before, and I really want to be the champion.

The emperor waved to Lu Zheng and said, "Come here!"

Lu Zheng stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Lu Zheng, a student, will pay a visit to your majesty."

"Your name is Lu Zheng?" The emperor said, "How do you know he is cheating?"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Lu Zheng had written a policy theory before in response to the palace examination, which was stolen by Meng Jinglun. I dare to conclude that the article he wrote must be my policy!"

Master Tong looked at Lu Zheng with approval and said to the emperor, "The examination papers exist in the Ministry of Ceremonies. Now I have ordered someone to bring them, and it will be clear on the spot."

Master Meng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this Lu Zheng lives in the captain's mansion and has had sex with his nephew before, which is deliberately framing him. I hope the emperor can see it clearly!"

The emperor listened and hesitated. Wei Dingbian, the national teacher, said at this time, "Your Majesty, this criminal case should not be careless and must be handled cautiously."

"I think it's good, so I ordered the Ministry of Ceremonies to bring Meng Jinglun's test paper. Both of them said that they wrote the article, so they asked them to recite the article at the same time. Isn't it true or false?

Lieutenant Tong also nodded and said, "This method is feasible. Please give the emperor an order."

The emperor pondered for a moment, avoided the aggressive eyes of Master Meng, and said with determination, "The Ministry of Ceremonies will quickly kill the test paper of this student!"

The secretary of the Ministry of Ceremonies secretly glanced at Meng Taishi, and his hands were full of cold sweat. He said impatiently, "Weir obeyed the order!"

But for a moment, Meng Jinglun's test paper had been held by the emperor. He looked at the two and said, "You can start reciting."

Lu Zheng made a "please" gesture to Meng Jinglun and smiled, "Brother Meng Nian, please go first."

Meng Jinglun's forehead jumped high, looked at Meng Taishi, and couldn't speak.

Master Meng said angrily, "What do you think I do? Quickly recite the article you wrote!"

Meng Jinglun nodded his head and said repeatedly, "I know, I know... I know." He scratched his scalp and held it for a long time without remembering a word.

Meng Jinglun knelt in front of the emperor and whispered, "To the emperor, the villain is so nervous that he can't remember a word. Ask the emperor Rong Xiaoren to go back and think about it all night, but he will definitely think about it.

"The supreme man of heaven and earth, the only ninety-five..." Lu Zheng suddenly opened his mouth and recited it.

The emperor looked at the test paper in his hand word by word. It was not until Lu Zheng finished carrying it on his back that he raised his head and said, "A word is not bad, Lu Zheng. It seems that Meng Jinglun plagiarized your article."

A chief officer of the ceremonial department breathed a sigh of gratitude to Lu Zheng in his heart. Fortunately, he did not poke himself out.

"What else do you have to say?" The emperor glared at Meng Jinglun.

Meng Jinglun finally couldn't stand it any longer. He sat down and cried to Master Meng: "Uncle, they all blame you for letting me take this exam. Now that the original shape has appeared, I'm afraid my nephew's life will not be saved..." After saying that, he burst into tears.

"Your guilt is not so much." Lu Zheng said, "Your Majesty, this list and Tanhua are the merits bought from Mr. Meng. The internal situation can only be known by asking the masters of the Ministry of Ceremonies.

When the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies heard this, they were shocked and climbed to the emperor. They kowtowed like garlic and cried bitterly, "Weichen and others deserve to die. I hope the emperor will forgive Weichen's life!"

Hearing this, the emperor was furious and stretched out his foot on the shoulder of the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies and scolded, "You are the leader!"

"Come on, take these people to the Ministry of Criminal Justice! Give me a detailed examination!" The emperor shouted, "Meng Jinglun doesn't have to take him away. He is ordered to be taken to the execution ground without waiting!"

The palace waited for the guards to rush up and escorted the prisoners. When it was Meng Jinglun's turn, he rolled all over the ground, cried and shouted, so that he could not be arrested for a while.

"Your Majesty," Meng Taishi's eyes stared at the emperor and said, "Please forgive the emperor and spare his little nephew's life. I have no children and only two nephews.

"One is guarding in Black Dragon Town. A few days ago, he suddenly disappeared. Life and death are still unknown. There is still this little nephew who has violated the national law, and his crime is unforgivable and pitiful. Please forgive him for his life!"

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Meng Taishi came forward and asked harshly, "Are you going to forgive or not?"
