The others were equally distrustful of such words, but they did not dare to speak in front of the emperor, and stood silently aside, the evidence was already there, and no matter how much he quibbled, he could not change this fact.

"I'll give you another chance, if you don't tell the truth again, then don't blame me for punishing me severely."

The emperor looked at the two kneeling and scolded, he had been giving them a chance to think about it since he came in, if he didn't recruit him, he could only use other methods.

The man next to him, who seemed to be a scholar, hesitated for a moment, and silently raised his head, he really didn't know anything about this matter, but he was just going to burn the scroll according to the order, and he happened to be caught.

"Your Majesty, the people of this volume don't know anything, they just do what they are told, if they know that it is a bachelor's volume, even if they give me ten guts, they won't dare to do anything."

The little scholar spoke, his heart was very flustered, he had already been bullied in the Ministry of Rites, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, he really didn't know what to do.

"That scroll is not who else you can be, except for you who is arrogant and domineering in the Ministry of Rites all day long, no one has such courage, the bachelor's scroll has always been you in charge of guarding, and only you have this possibility."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said that he planned to put all the blame on him, knowing in his heart that he was cowardly and incompetent, and that the current situation could only find one person as a scapegoat.

Now there is no one else but him, only he has the opportunity to touch those scrolls, and those people from the Ministry of Rites can also testify.

"It's not me, it's really not me, I've checked those rolls very carefully, and when I saw this roll, I praised it, but I didn't know that it was this one that was ordered to burn, I thought it was just ordinary waste paper."

When the little scholar heard this, he hurriedly retorted, he didn't know how many pots he had carried, and he didn't know how many punishments he had received for others, but what he hadn't done was what he hadn't done, he didn't care if others would believe him, he still wanted to explain.

Yang Yanxi looked at his reaction and had a bottom in his heart, and when he saw his thin appearance, he understood that he had been bullied a lot in the Ministry of Rites, otherwise according to the diet of normal people, he would not have become so thin as a bone, not to mention that the food in the palace has always been the best.

"You said it wasn't you, so tell me, who is the person who ordered you to burn this scroll?"

Seeing this, the emperor opened his mouth to ask, interrupting the words of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who wanted to continue to frame, and he didn't have an accurate answer to the words of the two, and he didn't want to lie when he looked at the two of them, but only the two of them had come into contact with the volume.

"Yes, it was the Ministry of Rites that asked me to do this, and he specially told me to find a place where no one was and burn it down, I wanted to see what it was, but I didn't dare to open it according to his instructions."

The little scholar replied timidly, very nervous in his heart, compared to the Book of Rites, he was just a useless person, and he didn't know if anyone would believe his words.

"Ministry of Rites, what else do you have to say? Do you have to do a good job of what you have done over the years before you are willing to invite you truthfully? ”

Seeing this, the emperor said coldly, and he already had a bottom in his heart, and he still had a bottom in his heart about what the Ministry of Rites had done over the years, but it had never been a big thing, and he didn't plan to care about those small things.

I didn't expect that since the matter of changing the paper would appear in the book of the Ministry of Rites, I really dared to defy the authority of the emperor, this is not my own death, if I change to someone else, it may not become such a situation.

But for Yang Yanxi, the emperor still had an impression, so he did not directly give an order, if it was really like him, the emperor would also severely punish him, the monarch and the ministers committed the same crime as the common people, and everyone was treated equally.

"Your Majesty, the minister was really wronged, how could the minister have worked hard for so many years to do such a crime of deceiving the king, someone must have framed the minister for this matter, and asked the emperor to investigate."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't expect the little scholar to refute so resolutely at such a time, he thought that those things had taught him not to explain, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Seeing this, the emperor hesitated, but at this time, the father-in-law suddenly whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and then left in a hurry, no one knew what the father-in-law said, but he knew that this would make the emperor smile.

"Oh? Is it? It seems that you really don't give up on the Yellow River, come to people, and bring people up. ”

The emperor's eyes became indifferent when he heard his words, and because he was an old courtier, he gave him a lot of opportunities, he didn't cherish it himself, and the emperor couldn't do anything.

Yang Yanxi glanced at it and instantly understood who it was, and a smile appeared on his face, this person came really in time, otherwise, with the character of the Ministry of Rites and Rites to the end, I am afraid that this matter will still be over.

"The minister saw the emperor, this time he just came to expose the crime of the Ministry of Rites, this is a letter that the minister occasionally found, and the fake volume was imitated by the minister by his will, these things the minister didn't want to do, but because his relatives had to do this, and asked the emperor to punish him."

As the man spoke, the guilt on his face decreased a lot, and the moment he learned that the Rite Ministry Shangshu had been summoned by the emperor, he had been hesitating, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.

But because his relatives were held hostage by him, he didn't dare to come forward and say everything, but he never said it, and he couldn't help it.

The moment he saw him, he knew that it was over, and what had been a perfectly planned bureau suddenly became like this, and only his calligraphy was the best in the Ministry of Rites, so he had to be used to do this.

"What else do you have to say?"

After reading the letter, the emperor's face was slightly angry, and he crumpled the letter tightly, knowing this matter in his heart, but because of the power of King Qingyang, he couldn't do anything now.

"The minister has nothing to say, and the minister pleads guilty."

At first, he just thought that he would not admit his guilt and they would not be able to do anything with him, but after the words and things of that man, the situation changed.

"In that case, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhulian Nine Clans, read that you are all instructed to deduct a year's salary."

Seeing this, the emperor ordered, and then carefully read Yang Yanxi's answer, and was very satisfied with his opinions and ideas, which are indeed very unique and different, and are more perfect than those bachelor's answers.

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace."

The two of them were very satisfied with this result in their hearts, and they understood their own crimes, and they also understood that the emperor had shown mercy to their subordinates.

"All right, I'm tired, you all go down."

The emperor looked at the figure in front of him and said, this matter is over, but he should also find a way to eradicate some of the forces of King Qingyang.

Yang Yanxi didn't say anything more, and directly retreated and left.
