Chapter 727 The final jump (4)
As soon as the news came out, people were skeptical. But not long after, someone fabricated Chu Heng's motive. They just wanted to use this method to win over a group of students, and then establish his prestige among the people through this group of "talented" students.
Everyone knows that the prince has been ill for more than 20 years, and his reputation among the people is not as good as that of the third son of the emperor, Prince Heng. If he wins over Shilin and gets his support, and then ascends the throne as emperor, even if he is really fatuous and incompetent, he will be dismissed. He is called a famous king through the ages.
Even the prince was deposed. For a while, those students who passed the examination were in danger, fearing that the court could not handle the public opinion and not only invalidate their results, but also punish them for fraud. If so, their future would be at stake. Completely finished.
Even if their results are invalidated and they take the exam again, they are not sure that they will pass the examination. After all, different test questions and different opinions of the examiners can affect the results. Many people succeed in the examination because of luck. No one knows whether the essay they produce will suit the appetite of the examiners if they take the test again. If you do well, you will fail the examination.
Furthermore, no one wants to be labeled as cheating, which is the greatest insult to scholars. Therefore, the scholars who had been watching the development of the situation could not sit still and rushed to the palace gate. While arguing with the failed students, they jointly submitted a letter requesting the court to have a public trial as soon as possible and restore their innocence.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Prince Chu Heng never made any response. In this regard, some people think that the prince did not do such a thing and he is not ashamed; some people think that the prince has a guilty conscience and dare not stand up and admit it.
Under the control of thoughtful people, the latter view has been recognized by more and more people. The students waiting at the gate of the palace every day began to attack the prince again. They even said that the prince's morality was lacking and he was not worthy of the big responsibility, and asked Hui'an for help. The emperor has made such treasonous and unjust words as to abolish the position of crown prince and crown prince.
The court has not taken any action for a long time, and has not even set a date for the public trial. The students who gathered at the gate of the palace and were divided into two groups were bickering and bickering. The gate of the palace has become their "battlefield"!
No one stood up to curb the students' speech, and the case of fraud in the Zhili Examination Center finally came to a head. In less than half a month, it spread to all major state capitals. Thousands of failed students quit their jobs, and those who had the conditions hurriedly rushed to the capital carrying their baggage, intending to join the crusade; those who did not have the conditions gathered at the government offices directly under them, and jointly signed a letter requesting the court to conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible, so as to restore the world's scholars. A fair one.
In Prince Heng's Mansion, Prince Heng showed a sinister smile after reading the news sent back from various places. This smile affected the scars on his face, and they twisted like poisonous snakes, looking particularly ferocious. There is no trace of the gentle and elegant face in the past.
Due to the ugly scars on his face, King Heng had almost never left Prince Heng's palace after returning from Phoenix Mountain. He couldn't accept the fact that he was disfigured and completely missed the throne. In addition to constantly sending people around to find famous doctors in an attempt to remove the scars on his face, he spent the rest of his time thinking about how to take revenge for ruining his future and turning him into this inhuman state. Chu Heng looked like a ghost.
As for Xiao Ruiyuan who followed Chu Heng and Mo Yan who rescued Chu Heng, they were also a thorn in his side. He couldn't find a chance to kill Chu Heng before, so he transferred his hatred to Mo Yan.
What King Heng didnt expect was that he repeatedly sent killers with the intention of wiping out the entire Mo family, but those killers never returned. In the end, a large wave of mountain bandits sent out were all wiped out. Finally, he used Qiu Wei to set up a trap, intending to wipe out Chu Heng's entire family.
Unexpectedly, the plan went more smoothly than he imagined, and without any effort, his biggest enemy was brought to the forefront.
Thinking that everything was under his control, and that just waiting for the day of public trial, he could trample all his enemies under his feet and let him ravage them, King Heng's face showed a sly smile of pleasure.
Seeing that King Heng was in a good mood, unlike before, which was so unpredictable and scary, Mr. Lin on the side quickly asked: "Your Highness, the public trial has not been decided for a long time. I am afraid that the Holy One deliberately favors Chu Heng's yellow-mouthed kid. What should we do? Is good?"
King Heng's smile froze, and a strong anger flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, now that things have come to this, even if the old guy is biased, can he still stop the world from talking about Youyou?"
"Having said that, without a public trial, this matter will never be concluded. That kid with a yellow mouth is still the prince, so what's the point of us planning this?" Mr. Du said anxiously. He was afraid that Emperor Hui'an would use dragging tactics. When the limelight was over, what would happen to them?
King Heng's expression changed, and he suddenly asked: "Great-grandfather still refuses to tell you that matter?"
That matter is that Taishi Lin holds a clue about Emperor Hui'an.
Mr. Lin shook his head dejectedly: "The old man is very stubborn. Even if he brought it into the coffin, he wouldn't tell anyone. I'm afraid we won't be able to make use of it in the future."
Upon hearing this, King Heng walked around irritably, feeling deeply resentful of Master Lin in his heart. If his great-grandfather was willing to tell him the secret and use his connections in the court to help him ascend to the position of prince, why would he need to make such a calculation?
For the current plan, there is only one way to force the old guy to hold a public trial as soon as possible, otherwise all the previous calculations will be in vain.
Thinking of this, King Heng's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he waved to the uneasy Mr. Lin beside him...
