In front of the white jade steps of the hall, Li Gang read aloud the admission statement of the martial arts ceremony.

"This martial arts ceremony adheres to the will of the holy, and has admitted a total of 500 military generals and talents through open and fair examinations. It is divided into two lists, A and B, of which 300 people were admitted to the A list and 200 people were admitted to the B list...."

Li Gang's tone was hoarse and the content was long. He heard the civil and military officials in the court drowsy. Even Yang Guang didn't listen. He slowly unfolded the admission list he had just handed over, and looked at the names one by one coldly. He was not interested in List A. His eyes fell on List B. There were only names, and the latter marked that they were outstanding in riding and shooting and skillful in weapons. As for whether it was true or not, he could not verify it.

But Yang Guang had already inserted a piece of evidence, and gradually, his eyes became sharp. He saw that "Sui Guangyang" ranked eighth. This was a name he made up casually, that is, himself, Guangyang, which is the homonym of his name, and the other hand, plus a surname from the Sui Dynasty, was actually admitted as eighth. Yang Guang couldn't help but burst into murderous intent in his heart.

At this time, Li Gang finished reading and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this martial arts ceremony is completely in line with the rules. The examiners are diligent and meticulous. Five hundred outstanding people have been admitted. Please approve the results."

Yuwen Shu was also a little nervous. He did not expect that this matter would be taken to the court meeting and said that there were a little more variables. For example, Yang Yuanqing just said that he had cheated in front of King Yong, but based on his decades of experience as an official, he knew that even if everyone knew in his heart, no one would say it. This matter involved many powerful families, and without evidence, no one would easily offend others.

He saw that the emperor had already picked up the pen and was about to approve it. He was so happy that he immediately put down the imperial pen. Yang Guang glanced at the ministers and smiled and said, "I cannot be too arbitrary. It is time to ask everyone's opinions. Dear friends, do you have different opinions on the martial arts!"

"Your Majesty, I have different opinions!"

Everyone looked out of the hall with their eyes, and saw a man standing in the queue of judges, holding his hands high and walking out quickly.

There was a sudden sound of discussion in the hall. It was actually an audience with the officials who raised objections. And it was a very young official. Judging from his movements and postures, he should be a soldier. This was surprising. People like Pei Ju, Changsun Sheng and others recognized Yang Yuanqing. His heart was hanging. How could Yuanqing go to court? And he actually raised his head for martial arts, which was easy to offend people!

Yang Xuangan stood in the third column. His martial arts skills were also good, his eyes were sharp. He recognized his son at first sight, and his heart sank. What's going on? Yuan Qing actually wanted to give a head for martial arts? Yang Xuangan also guessed that there must be something tricky in martial arts, but this is an unspoken rule in the officialdom, and everyone knows it. However, no one would say it because it is difficult to have evidence. If you offend someone, you will also humiliate yourself. The so-called deliberation means turning a blind eye. Anyway, it is not a big event like a scholar or an imperial examination.

However, Yang Xuangan did not expect that his son would come out to report, which made him extremely nervous. His face turned pale and sweat had already come out on his forehead.

Yuwen Shu's pupils shrank violently and he stared at Yang Yuanqing fiercely. He didn't expect that this person really dared to stand up. A small general from the border town dared to offend important officials in the court. He was really tired of living.

An undetectable praise flashed in Yang Guang's eyes. It was not because Yang Yuanqing came forward to report the matter. It was because he did not ask Yuan Qing to report it in advance, but Yuan Qing thought of it, which showed that Yuan Qing knew his thoughts very well and knew that he wanted to make a fuss about this matter.

This made Yang Guang feel a sense of joy of cooperation and tacit understanding. Neither of the parties said it, but they understood each other. Yang Guang quickly glanced at Yang Su's position and found that Yang Su had not gone to court. He changed his mind. Could it be that this was Yang Su's arrangement? But in just one thought, he knew that it was not. Yang Su would not have such deliberate traces. If it were his arrangement, he would go to court to show that it had nothing to do with him and this matter. This should be Yuan Qing's own arrangement.

"General Yang, what are your differences?"

Yang Yuanqing raised a memorial high, "I impeached Yu Wenshu, the general of the Right Martial Guard, to manipulate the military exercises and engage in private fraud!"

As soon as Yang Yuanqing said this, the court was in an uproar, and the voices of discussion resounded throughout the hall. No one expected that Yang Yuanqing would point the finger directly at Yuwen Shu. The inner historian standing in the front row, Yang Yue shook his head gently. Is this the Yang family's talent that his elder brother likes? It is a great blessing for the Yang family to expel him from the Yang family, otherwise this person would kill the Yang family.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is not convinced!"

Yuwen Shu shouted loudly and squeezed out of the squad. He was so angry that he trembled all over, his face seemed to be burning, and his fists were clattering, and he wanted to kill Yang Yuanqing with one punch.

He pointed at Yang Yuanqing and shouted: "You are slandering, I'm not finished with you today!"

An eunuch had already taken Yang Yuanqing's impeachment memorial and handed it to Yang Guang, but Yang Guang did not look at it and asked Yang Yuanqing with a smile, "General Yang, why do you say that General Yuwen is manipulating the martial arts?"

Yang Yuanqing ignored Yuwen Shu and said loudly: "Yuwen Shu manipulated the B list. Among the 200 people admitted to the B list, he decided to be at least 100. He each received bribes of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan, which made the admission to the B list unfair, and he ruined this martial arts."

Yuwen Shu was extremely angry and pointed at Yang Yuanqing and shouted, "Yang Yuanqing, you said I accepted bribes and manipulated martial arts. What evidence do you have?"

"I saw your son Yuwen Zhihe accept bribes in the restaurant, and many children from aristocratic families who participated in the martial arts ceremony bribes him!"

Yuwen Shu laughed furiously and pointed at Yang Yuanqing to Yang Guang and the civil and military officials of the court: "Your Majesty, all ministers and colleagues, listen, this is his evidence. When he saw my son collecting money, he said **Jiang Wuju. What evidence does he have to say that my son collects money? Take a step back ten thousand steps. Even if my son collects money, is it related to martial arts? He lends money to others and returns money to him, so what do you say?"

There was a burst of laughter in the court. This Yang Yuanqing was just a brave man. He was too naive in the officialdom. He actually came to report when he saw Yu Wen Zhi and collected money. Is this also called evidence?

The General of Zuo Xiaogu Guard, Zhang Jin, also shook his head gently. He thought Yang Yuanqing was very powerful and could kill He Ruobi and severely injured the Dugu family and Yuan family. He did not expect that he was so unbearable, but he did not expect that Yuwen Shu would actually plant more than 100 people. This was too much, and he only arranged twelve favors himself.

Only Pei Ju had a solemn expression and no ridicule on his face. He knew Yang Yuanqing. He would never be so naive. He was playing hard to get, deliberately showing weakness, and gradually leading Yuwen Shu to take the bait.

Yang Guang asked without saying a word, "General Yang, do you have any other evidence?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Your Majesty. I have a clan brother. He took the B List exam and bribed Yuwen Zhiji for 2,000 yuan. His riding and shooting was not good, but he scored nine points. He knew that he was not doing well, so he withdrew from the martial arts. Your Majesty can ask him to testify. He was outside the Suzaku Gate at this time, named Yang Wei."

Yang Yue was stunned. Why did Jishan's son get along with Yang Yuanqing? He was very unhappy.

Yang Guang nodded, "The successor witnessed Yang Wei!"

"His Majesty!"

Yuwen Shu refuted again, "He is Yang Yuanqing's clan brother, how can he testify? He can completely help Yang Yuanqing to make perjury, Your Majesty. This is unacceptable."

Yang Guang waved his hand, "General Yuwen, don't worry, wait for someone to come."

Yuwen Shu gritted her teeth with hatred. She felt extremely depressed. The emperor didn't help him at all. Did he really doubt that he had accepted bribes? He also felt a little uneasy.

Pei Ju was shocked. He had already seen a clue. Yuwen Shu was the in-laws of the emperor. Yang Yuanqing said that these unreliable evidences would give the in-laws a face. Even ordinary people would stop this matter, let alone Yuwen Shu was an important official, and the emperor should have spoken for him. But now the emperor seems to be helping Yang Yuanqing argue. Has the emperor already known about it?

After a moment, Yang Wei was led into the hall by the guards. He was only a commoner. He was not allowed to enter the hall in white, so he was not qualified to enter the hall, so the guards put him in another seventh-grade official uniform.

Yang Wei was very nervous and knelt down in the hall, "Little Minor Yang Wei... See Your Majesty the Emperor."

"You are also the grandson of Yang Taipu!"

Yang Guang smiled and asked, "Have you participated in this martial arts ceremony as well?"

"Yes, Xiaomin participated in the martial arts competition, but withdrew halfway."

"Why are you quitting?"

"Because Xiaomin was very poor in riding and shooting, he found Yuwen Zhiji's relationship and hoped that he could help. He asked Xiaomin for two thousand yuan to hang money. As a result, Xiaomin only had four points, but was mentioned nine points. Xiaomin was scared and quit."

Yuwen Shu was anxious and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to what the old minister said. The old minister may also say that he was riding and shooting low, and then bribery and get nine points. The old minister can also act very humble. Do you believe it?"

At this time, Yang Guang's patience was gradually gone. He ignored Yuwen Shu and asked Li Gang, "Mr. Li, how many points did Yang Wei score?"

Li Gang shook his head, "I don't know how to take the exam, but I can ask the doctor He Qing, who is the direct chief examiner of the B list."

"You are the chief examiner, but you don't know, but you told me that the martial arts practices are completely in line with the rules."

Yang Guang sneered and immediately shouted: "Where is the doctor He Xu?"

He Qing was in the hall. When he saw Yang Wei appear, he became frightened. Yang Wei withdrew halfway through, his name had been erased and changed to Sui Guangyang. What did he say?

He walked out of the line tremblingly and bowed, "I don't know about this matter if I ask the specific examiner!"

'Bang!' Yang Guang slapped the case heavily and shouted angrily: "One is the chief examiner and the other is the deputy chief examiner. I don't know anything. Then come the examination list, I will see it myself."

He Qing's legs fell to the ground. He didn't dare to hide it anymore and whispered: "Report to Your Majesty, Yang Wei has abandoned the exam, and his name and grades are no longer in the roster."

"Dr. He, no!"

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "There are 2,083 candidates in total. As far as I know, in addition to Yang Wei, there are two other two who have also abandoned the exam. Deng Di from Youzhou and Zhao Yi from Xiangzhou should be 2,080 candidates, but your last roster is 2,081 candidates, and one more person is there. Who is the extra person?"

There were whispers in the hall, and everyone gradually realized that Yang Yuanqing was not really naive. He was prepared and led to fraud in the Ministry of War step by step. Many people realized that the fraud in the Ministry of War may be a failure this time.

He Qing couldn't answer, and his extreme fear made his mind blank. He didn't know how to answer. Yu Wen Shu next to him became anxious and reminded him: "Doctor He, is there no special situation?"

Yang Yuanqing also smiled and said, "Yes! Special circumstances, such as if this person didn't come, but you arranged the exam for him in advance. Isn't it just one more person?"

There was an uproar in the main hall again. At this time, everyone knew that the Ministry of War was caught and someone did not come, but passed the exam for him.

Yuwen Shu was as if he was stepping on the air. He was stunned. He felt extremely bad in his heart. Could it be that Sui Guangyang?

Yang Yuanqing stared at him and his eyes became sharp, "General Yuwen, what happened to Sui Guangyang, don't you not know!"

Yang Yuanqing whispered to Yang Guang again: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Shu is corrupt and abused the law. A candidate named Sui Guangyang did not come at all. However, Yuwen Shu accepted five hundred taels of gold from the other party and arranged a fake exam for Sui Guangyang. In the end, he passed the eighth place. Your Majesty, this person is iron evidence."

The discussion in the hall was about to boil, and it became more and more exciting. Yuwen Shu's old eyes were almost exposed. Some were happy and some were worried. More people were looking at Yang Yuanqing with admiration. This person went from showing weakness to being tough, and forced Yuwen Shu to the corner step by step.

Yuwen Shu shouted, "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know anything about Sui Guangyang. Yang Yuanqing is slandering me. Your Majesty is making the decision for the old minister!"

Yang Guang sighed secretly. In order to establish his authority in the imperial examination in the future, Yuwen Shu must be used as a sacrifice for him. He took a note from the imperial case and handed it to the eunuch, "Take this to General Yuwen to see."

The eunuch took the hand to Yuwen Shu. Yuwen Shu glanced at him. He was shocked and collapsed to the ground. He turned over and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "The old minister knows the crime! The old minister knows the crime! This Sui Guangyang is indeed arranged by the old minister. I am willing to accept all the punishments of Your Majesty!"

A dramatic change caused a sensation among the civil and military officials in the court. What did the emperor show Yuwen Shu? Yuwen Shu, who had just swear to refuse to admit it, immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty. The court officials behind him rushed forward one after another, trying to see the content on the note.

At this time, almost all the civil and military officials in the court understood one thing. Yang Yuanqing impeached Yuwen Shu, and the emperor knew about it in advance.

At this moment, a guard reported at the entrance of the hall, "Your Majesty, there are more than a thousand martial arts candidates sitting quietly outside the Suzaku Gate to petition."

"Why is it a petition?" Yang Guang said angrily.

"Report to Your Majesty, they reported that the Yuwen family had accepted bribes, manipulated martial arts, and asked Your Majesty to severely punish fraudsters and give warriors all over the world a fair explanation."

More than a thousand candidates petitioned like a scoop of oil poured from the fire, igniting Yang Guang's anger. He slapped the imperial case and shouted angrily: "Transfer my will to remove the posts of Li Gang, the Minister of War, and He Xun, the Doctor of the Ministry of War, and ordered the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple to form the Third Division to conduct a trial to strictly examine the cases of cheating in the military. I will not forgive anyone who participates in the fraud of the military."

Yang Guang looked at Yuwen Shu again and said coldly: "General Yuwen, you disappointed me so much. Sui Guangyang, can't you think of who it is? How can you trust you in the future if you ask me to?"

Yuwen Shu's face turned pale. He suddenly understood that Sui Guangyang was Sui Yangguang. He was fooled. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Cao was about to be elected officials in two months. He was so shocked that he sat on the ground and he had no chance.

"Transfer my will to remove Yuwen Shu from his post as the General of the Right Martial Guard."

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction to Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing was extremely courageous, outstanding in this matter, and good at understanding the will of the saints, which made him look at him with admiration.
