Seeing this, several guards instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "My subordinates pay a visit to the Prime Minister." ”

Prime Minister Liu Cheng walked over, looked at Jing Lingyi, and saluted respectfully, "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Seventh. ”

Jing Lingyi took a deep breath and said straight to the point: "Prime Minister Liu, this person's name is Yu Ye, he is a classmate of this king when he was studying in Zhaoyun Peak, this king knows that this person is rich and rich, and he is only eight buckets, if he misses the national examination, the court is afraid that he will miss out on his talents, and he also asks Prime Minister Liu Cheng to be extrajudicial and let him in." ”

Prime Minister Liu Cheng was unmoved, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that the old man is unkind, but anyone who is late will not be allowed to put it in, this is a legal rule, and I ask Your Highness for your understanding." ”

"Since the rules are set by people, there is naturally the possibility of accommodation." Jing Lingyi put his hands behind his back and said sharply.

Prime Minister Liu frowned, "Your Highness, there has never been a precedent for the national examination, and it is impossible for the old minister to break the rules for one person, Your Highness, just imagine, today the old minister made an exception for him alone, so what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" What about three years from now? If everyone is like him, is it possible for everyone to be late? ”

Jing Lingyi was speechless by him, after all, what Prime Minister Liu Cheng said was very true, today he let Yu Ye in, setting a precedent, if there are any latecomers in the future, they will use this as an excuse, if they go on like this, I am afraid that they will mess up the rules and will not be able to convince the public.

Prime Minister Liu looked at him and continued: "Since he is late, he should be punished as he deserves, if the old man sets a precedent and lets him in, it will be unfair to other candidates, please think twice." ”

Jing Lingyi frowned slightly, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Su Ye, who was kneeling on the side, with an anxious face, although he felt sorry in his heart, he was persuaded by Prime Minister Liu's words, and slowly said: "Yu Ye, the matter has come to this, I hope that the festival will change, and I will come back in three years." ”

Hearing this, Su Ye sat down on the ground all of a sudden, only to feel the five thunders hit the top, stunned for a moment, suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Jing Lingyi, and pleaded desperately: "Your Highness, the grass people can't afford to wait for three years, please ask Your Highness to be extrajudicial and merciful......"

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Lingyi flicked his sleeves and reprimanded sharply: "Yu Ye, you know that the national examination is extremely important to you, how dare you be late!" Since you're late, it's time to remember the lesson! ”

Yu Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, Your Highness, the grass people are not intentionally late, and the grass people don't know why they oversleep, at the time of Zhaoyun Peak, His Royal Highness knows that the grass people get up every day, no matter the cold and heat, no matter the wind or rain, they never get up one day late, and today's national examination is related to the fame of the grass people's life, how can the grass people oversleep?" ”

Jing Lingyi was stunned for a moment, he naturally remembered the habit of getting up early to read every day when he was in Zhaoyunfeng, and he was ridiculed by Yun Yan at that time.

Thinking of this, Jing Lingyi turned to look at Prime Minister Liu, and said seriously: "Prime Minister Liu, if it is someone else, it will be fine, but this person, this king still understands, he gets up every day, spring, summer, autumn and winter have never changed, he can't oversleep, if this king is not wrong, his guest room must have been tampered with, and please ask the prime minister to be extrajudicial and merciful, make an exception to allow Yu Ye to enter the exam, don't miss out on talent." ”。

"This ......" Prime Minister Liu Cheng looked embarrassed, "Your Highness, no matter what the reason, you can't violate the rules!" ”
