"Well said! This official agrees with Su Siqing's words. Wang Deng, it is because of your incompetence and negligence that this matter has caused such a result. ”

Several people immediately looked out and found that the person who came turned out to be Shoufu E Chongming.

The emperor immediately asked how the situation outside the palace was, and E Chongming sighed.

"Your Majesty, the people outside the palace were so angry that they all surrounded the palace gate. If the Tao does not severely punish the king, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the people. ”

Wang Deng's face changed greatly, and he immediately begged the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ministers have no choice but to do it!" They can't understand the hardships of their ministers, but the emperor should know that. ”

"Wang Shangshu, what Su Siqing said is true. You are responsible for causing such a catastrophe. It is because of your dereliction of duty that you have suffered a lot of losses. Nearly 300 people were killed, and they were all pillars of the country. Even if the people can't do it, the law won't forgive you. ”

A cold light burst out in E Chongming's eyes, The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites should have been replaced a long time ago.

He turned his head and stroked the hem of his official uniform and knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, with the law, this is Wang Shangshu's dereliction of duty, so many candidates were killed, and even most of the tribute courtyard collapsed, which is a loss for the imperial court."

"With love, the families of those candidates are grief-stricken, they have lost the breadwinner of their family, they have nothing to rely on in their old age, and they have nothing to support their young. There are also candidates who have studied hard for more than ten years, in order to enter the office for the well-being of the people, but they died innocently in the fire, and they can't even look at it when they die! ”

"Your Majesty! If Wang Shangshu is not punished, it is not enough for the people to be angry! ”

E Chongming let out a sad cry, and then fell to the ground.

Su Jinxun was surprised why Shoufu had the same opinion as him today, but then he thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but feel cold.

But no matter what Shousuke is calculating, they are on the same front right now.

Today, Wang Deng must be won!

Wang Deng was suddenly frightened, "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" The minister is not understood by the world, and they put all the blame on the minister, and the minister is speechless! ”

The emperor didn't say a word, just looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with grief on their faces, but their grief was different.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that Lord Wang is an old minister, but there is no doubt that he made a mistake this time. You can't just take him lightly and surrender to him just because you take care of your old feelings! ”

"Surrender!"

"Surrender!"

Su Jinxun fell to the ground, a voice of dissatisfaction resounded through the imperial study, the emperor was deafening, watching Su Jinxun crying and wiping his tears, he couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"Your Majesty! There are people outside who want to break into the palace gate, and they have sent troops to suppress it temporarily, but they are all indignant, and more and more people are gathering. ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Congrong, suddenly came to report, and the emperor was taken aback.

"They are shouting to ......," Fu Congrong glanced at Wang Deng, who was kneeling on the ground.

"It is said that the court will hand over the king, or punish the lord severely, otherwise he will not leave."

"Your Majesty! Oh no! News came from the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, saying that the Wang's mansion had been besieged by the people, and threatened to break into the Wang's mansion if it was not severely punished. The lowly officials wanted to lead the troops to besiege them, but the people were very excited and did not dare to act rashly at this moment. ”

The commanding envoy Zeng Guolin hurried to the imperial study and reported it.

Wang Deng was suddenly frightened, "Those people, they are going to rebel." ”

"Master Fu, you quickly lead people to arrest them all, they are going to rebel!"

After Wang Deng finished speaking, he pointed at Zeng Guolin again, "Lord Zeng, hurry!" Go and protect my family, those people are country wretched, my family is going to suffer! ”

"Didn't you say that this matter should be suppressed for the time being? How can it be spread? "The emperor has a headache, and he also understands in his heart that there is an impermeable wall in this world?

He glanced at Wang Deng and couldn't help but shake his head. Wang Deng can't be saved, but who will change this position? He doesn't feel at ease!

He sighed deeply, and there was no more pure minister.

Glancing at Su Jinxun, the emperor's heart moved. There is no faction, and there are no promising juniors, you can handle it!

Acacia quickly rushed back again, and it didn't want to leave Su Yizhao for a moment now.

Su Yizhao gently tugged at Su Yijue's sleeve, and suddenly said loudly: "Fifth brother, I want to go to the toilet, but I'm a little afraid." ”

Su Yijue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”

Then, in a hurry, the two of them walked a long way and turned a corner.

"Fifth brother, hurry! Hold the fire fold for me. ”

Su Yizhao stuffed the fire fold into Su Yijue's hand, and then took out a few pieces of paper and a pen from his arms.

"Do you still have these on you? Can you take care of all this when you run away? ”

Su Yijue couldn't help but admire a little, this should be the previous exam paper.

"It's not that I thought the fire could be controlled, so I brought the test papers out, so as not to fall short of the previous exams, and who expected that they would not be used."

Speaking of this, Su Yizhao couldn't help but sigh, the last one, she finished the exam.

One more day she'll be able to get out of the Tribute Academy, but now it's useless.

"What are you going to write?" Su Yijue watched curiously as Su Yizhao tore off the corner of the roll, not knowing what he was doing.

"I've found helpers, but we can't go out yet, so I'm going to ask Acacia to help me bring the news out."

Su Yizhao licked the tip of the pen that had dried up in his mouth as he spoke, and then began to write hard.

"Found a rescuer? Then why do you still write letters, so why do you still write letters? He rejoiced that they were finally saved.

Su Yizhao did not answer, but concentrated on writing something.

Su Yijue held the fire fold, intending to get closer to see what he had written, but Su Yizhao had already rolled up the paper, and tore off a small strip of cloth from his body, and tied it to Acacia's leg along with the note.

"Acacia, please do one more thing, give this note to the person you saw just now, be quick!"

Seeing Acacia rushing out quickly, Su Yizhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's make a long story short, although we were trapped in this fire, it was really a bit unlucky. But if you think about it, it's actually an opportunity. ”

"How?" Su Yijue suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient, he was already like an arrow, and he didn't understand what Su Yizhao was talking about.

"This spring is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the Gongyuan is on fire, will the officials of the Ministry of Rites not know? There was such a big fire, guess where Wang Deng was at that time? In any case, a dereliction of duty or malfeasance is indispensable. ”

Su Yijue suddenly understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

"You mean? But even so, this seat can't be grandfather's turn! ”

"How do you know if you don't try? Even if it is not this position, then the emperor should not treat his grandfather badly, maybe the third uncle can also benefit from it. ”

Su Yizhao quickly analyzed, "The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even if we don't stare at it, others will stare at it, so it's better to take precautions." ”

"What are you going to do?" Su Yijue immediately asked.
