Wu Zetian took a deep breath, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and finally, her gloomy gaze gradually dimmed.

Looking at these dignitaries and important ministers, she couldn't help but sigh.

"So...... What are you going to do? ”

This sentence came out, obviously Wu Zetian planned to back down.

The old man was still groveling, with an angry face, and said with a smile: "Sage, the minister thinks that if you can't punish you severely and set an example, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will follow suit in the future, so ...... The minister's shallow opinion is...... Qin Shaoyou was punished for bullying the king, and he was killed, and as for the four schools of learning and teaching doctors, all of them were dismissed, and the lecturers recruited were exiled to other places, so as to appease the hearts of the people. ”

Wu Zetian pursed her lips, her eyes were full of coldness, what she never expected was that even if she was willing to make concessions, these people still made a killing move, and did not give up because of their concessions.

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "Is it heavy?" ”

"Sage." The old man looked at Wu Zetian in awe, and said word by word: "If not, it is not enough to be angry!"

Wu Zetian was stunned, of course she knew what kind of people this 'people' was, these people were the basis of the rule of the Great Zhou, they were all over the prefectures and counties, occupying the vast majority of the land, cattle, sheep, and population......

She faltered at this point.

…………

When the ministers saw His Majesty's appearance of biting his lip, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, although there were some twists and turns, but after all, the overall situation was decided, because once His Majesty was shaken, then he would definitely compromise, as long as the Holy Emperor opened the golden mouth, then it would be difficult to recover, and the hidden dangers in the four schools were no longer to be feared.

But at this moment, the thunderous drums rumbled.

It is not surprising that there are drums in the palace, which are sounded every day according to the hour.

But......

The drum beat was rapid, forceful, and disorganized, clearly a far cry from the chiming bells.

Other than that, where else will there be drum sound?

Everyone was amazed.

Suddenly, someone remembered something and couldn't help whispering: "Is it Dengwen Drum?" ”

"This ...... Who is so bold! The old man looked a little annoyed, and he was about to solve the last trouble in one go, but at this time, someone actually came to complain.

Dengwen drum is indeed used to sue for grievances, all dynasties, there will be a Dengwen drum outside the palace, according to the rules, anyone who has a grievance is difficult to redress, can beat this drum to sue the emperor.

But...... After all, the complaint is still a mere formality, and if someone really approaches the palace gate, I am afraid that it will be taken by the guards long ago, so the drum is just a decoration, revealing the saint's wide speech, and that's all.

But now...... The drum sounded, and the drum beat rapidly, and people's hearts fluttered to the rhythm of the drum.

After another moment, a eunuch hurriedly entered the hall, bowed his head, and said shortly breathing: "Your Majesty, Qin Shaoyou, the assistant teacher of the Four Sects, beat the drum and sound the grievances......"

"Bold!" Wu Zetian was furious: "He dared to come!" ”

Wu Zetian reprimanded, it is not unreasonable, although things are very bad now, she is willing to bargain, no matter what, she may be able to save Qin Shaoyou's life, but now, Qin Shaoyou is making trouble again, this is her own muzzle of the gun, she is really a bastard.

At this time, I don't know who came up with a sentence: "Isn't Qin Shaoyou in prison?" ”

This sentence suddenly made people happy and worried, a person who should have been in prison was suddenly released from prison, as the most central figure of the dynasty, no one knew, so how did this person get out of prison?

I'm afraid this is another crime, Qin Shaoyou's head, I'm afraid that there is another big crime.

Wu Zetian was helpless, so he had to shake his sleeves and say: "Xuan!" ”

An order, not long after, Qin Shaoyou and Hubu Shangshu Wu Chenghei entered the Xuanzheng Palace.

When Qin Shaoyou appeared, countless ill-intentioned eyes looked at him, this feeling was ...... Weird ......

Qin Shaoyou didn't squint, but he didn't pay attention to these people, he only had Wu Zetian in his eyes, seeing Wu Zetian looking at him coldly, his eyes were as sharp as a sharp sword, Qin Shaoyou was not afraid, he leaned over, and said: "Minister Qin Shaoyou, I have seen the Holy Emperor." ”

It's a very understatement of etiquette, and it's smooth.

Wu Zetian sneered: "Qin Shaoyou, since you have knocked on the Dengwen drum, then, what are your grievances?" ”

Everyone's eyes returned to Qin Shaoyou's body.

Especially Chen Xijiu, he looked at him with a smile, which seemed to have a deep meaning, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, this guy probably came to Chen Zheng, but just now in this Xuanzheng Palace, the matter has already been decided, and the crime is conclusive, coupled with the insistence of so many weighty people, now he is coming to Chen Zheng, it is too late to say it, or to bring humiliation.

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "There are no grievances, and the ministers have no grievances." ”

What the......

Chen Xijiu's face was stunned, there was no grievance, what are you doing here? At this time, shouldn't this guy be crying bitterly and defending himself?

Wu Zetian frowned and said: "Since there is no grievance, why dare you be so presumptuous!" ”

Qin Shaoyou took a moment and said: "Although there is no grievance, but as an official of the imperial court, he should be loyal to the imperial court and serve the Holy Emperor. ”

Whistleblowing ......

I've only heard of people crying and defending themselves, but I've never heard of a guy who has been accused of running to accuse someone.

This guy has a very thick skin.

However, he used to have a lot of outrageous behavior, and most people only thought that he was a dog jumping off the wall.

Wu Zetian is already completely desperate for Qin Shaoyou, this guy still thinks that sprinkling and rolling is useful?

"Who are you going to sue?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "The minister first told the prince of the country to supervise the wine Chen Rang did not learn and did not know, and the second told the doctor of arithmetic Wu Yinglong to mislead the children, Chen Rang, as the son of the country to supervise the wine, was deaf and incompetent, and abandoned the study and politics, resulting in the depression of the school and politics, not only that, he also did not distinguish between right and wrong, framed a good talent, followed the old ways, the corpse was vegetarian, and was incompetent to the point of outrageousness, dare to ask the Holy Emperor, such a person, stealing from a high position, being immoral and incompetent, is he guilty?" ”

"Again!" Qin Shaoyou was full of momentum, and continued in a loud voice: "Doctor of Arithmetic Wu Yinglong, as a doctor of science, mistook people's children, so that the pillars of the country have become wine bags and rice bags, every time the minister thinks of such a thing, he can't help but worry about the imperial court, so he has the courage to impeach these two, may the Holy Emperor distinguish between right and wrong, punish the treacherous, and revive the academic affairs." ”

This guy said with a nose and eyes, but it made Chen Xijiu laugh.

Until now, he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, how can it be unreasonable, Chen Xijiu immediately sneered at each other: "Qin Shaoyou, so far, don't you still know whether you are alive or dead?" ”

Qin Shaoyou said with a smile: "Chen sacrificial wine, how can the lower officials not know whether they are dead or alive?" ”

"You ......" Chen Saijiu angrily scolded, "You are the one who doesn't learn and can't do anything." ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "How can you see it? ”

Chen Xijiu said: "There are all human and material evidence. ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "So, the adults are bent into a trick? ”

"Nonsense!" Chen Sai was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Qin Shaoyou suddenly pulled his face and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, you have some evidence and physical evidence, so ...... Let's take a look at my human and physical evidence. He looked at Wu Chengsi and saluted: "Wu Shangshu, please." ”

Wu Chengsi is rare to be so beautiful today, I saw everyone's eyes looking at him burningly, he was in a good mood, and deliberately hung his appetite before saying: "The household department audited the accounts, so I invited all the students to come to assist. Since then, dozens of students from the four schools have gone out, and one day and one night, the income of last year and the expenses of this year have been calculated. ”

“……”

Chen Xijiu's face froze.

The bad debts of the household department, he is not unclear, and in fact, this matter is not small, and even some officials are gearing up and want to sue fiercely, the household department is actually a bad debt, so that the assistance of each school is also in vain, the news I heard yesterday is still this confused account can not be sorted out in ten days and half a month, how can these four schools be accounted for in one day and one night?

This...... No way!

Chen Xijiu's face was sallow, and he trembled with anger!
