The eunuch listened, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face: "That imperial history seems to be here too, right?" If the villain finds out, I am afraid that it will hurt your harmony, and if there is a conflict, it will be the villain's sin. ”

Su Zongshan replied: "Su has always put national affairs first, lest his colleagues not get along, how can there be a conflict. Besides, this impeachment is an official business, and it has nothing to do with selfishness, presumably he is also outspoken, and Su is willing to listen to it without complaint. Although the father-in-law said it, he kept it hidden, but he was prone to suspicion. ”

"Then I'll pronounce the name too." With that, the eunuch cleared his throat, opened the recital, and read aloud:

"In the past, His Majesty wanted to repair the West Garden to wait for King Yi, although the matter was put on hold, and the edict ordered the division to stop work, but now there is no urgency, and the Ministry of Industry is also fully planned, Prime Minister Su Zongshan has been delayed, and obstructed the Ministry of Industry to say this, I don't know what the intention is. His Majesty is requested to severely punish the Prime Minister for dereliction of duty, and to start the military service as soon as possible, so as to show the prestige of the Supreme Majesty. ”

"What do you want to say after reading it?" The eunuch turned his back with a smug expression, as if he was expecting a big show.

As he expected, sure enough, more than a dozen officials stood up and searched for Lu Tingci with angry eyes; It's a pity that Su Zongshan in front of him heard the movement and scolded them: "You all give me honesty!" Then they sat down again.

"Father-in-law," Su Zongshan turned back and said tremblingly, "Su's loyalty is evident, and he never dares to disobey the emperor's will...... If the persuasion fails, Su has no complaints, and is willing to resign and return to his hometown......" At this point, tears fell and he paused.

The eunuch hurriedly bent down to support him: "Alas, why should the prime minister be like this. The emperor has not said a word, but just let the officials discuss on their own, and I believe that you, your colleagues, can prove your innocence. ”

"Okay, good," Su Zongshan nodded, "Then the father-in-law will go back to life as soon as possible." ”

The eunuch replied with a smile, then took the paperwork, turned around and got on the horse, and disappeared in a moment.

"Lord Lu, can you come out for a while?" Su Zongshan still stood on the corridor in front of the gate with his hands behind his back, motionless, and asked softly.

Lu Tingci mixed in the crowd, listening to Su Zongshan calling him, he had to come out, took a deep breath, lifted the hem of his clothes, and saluted in front of him: "Master Su...... What are you looking for me? ”

Su Zongshan turned around, with a kind smile, and patted him on the shoulder: "My lord is anxious for King Yi, I can understand, who doesn't want to make the royal family harmonious and make the good stories of this dynasty famous for future generations?" But your words are too much. ”

Lu Tingci was a little stunned, he didn't expect his attitude to be so gentle, and he didn't know how to answer for a while: "Where, which sentence?" ”

Su Zongshan's laughter was even louder: "Haha, what other sentence, isn't it that you said that the old man 'obstructed the Ministry of Works'?" I don't think I've ever done anything like that, have I? It doesn't matter how you impeach, you have to give the old man this innocence. ”

On such an occasion, Lu Tingci was not easy to conflict with him, so he only lowered his head and replied: "The lower official is indeed exaggerating......

"Broken ......"

Cai Xianqing listened to Ye Yongjia muttering these two words, and glanced at him nervously for this.

"To tell you the truth, the old man is getting older and older, and he will inevitably act confused, relying on your imperial history to help him check and fill in the gaps," Su Zongshan said as he pulled Lu Tingci's shoulders and turned his face towards everyone, "But many people don't understand what you do, so you apologize to everyone, and I promise not to let them make things difficult for you." ”

Seeing such a scene, Cui Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly ran to Ye Yongjia's side, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and lowered his voice to persuade: "Why haven't you stepped forward?" Anyway, we don't have any friendship with him, so what can we do if we tear our faces with him! ”

Ye Yongjia shook him off and said, "Hexun, you have to recognize the situation!" Lu Yushi has already admitted that he fabricated the facts, if he argues with Su Zongshan at this time, won't it become nonsense? ”

"Then do you want to sit back and watch this old thief cheat?"

"You don't have to be anxious first," Ye Yongjia said, "The key to the problem now is not Su Zongshan, but these officials present. If they are willing to accept this and make this big thing small, our plan will be considered a complete failure. ”

"What do you mean......" Cui Yi listened, only thought for a while, and then suddenly thought about it, and smiled meaningfully, "I seem to know." Then he strode forward. Cai Xianqing was about to stop him, but Ye Yongjia stretched out his hand to stop him, and the latter also smiled and said: "Old Cai, the so-called 'bell must be tied to the bell', this plan was originally proposed by him, and he will naturally solve it if something goes wrong." You and I just have to trust in his talents. ”

I saw Cui Yi holding his head high, walking out of the crowd, and making a gesture to Su Zongshan: "Prime Minister, I am willing to apologize to you on behalf of Lu Yushi." ”

"Oh?" Su Zongshan frowned slightly, and his relaxed expression disappeared instantly, "This matter has nothing to do with Master Cui, why use you instead?" ”

Cui Yi bowed down and said, "Don't hide it, I told him that sentence, and he didn't actually know it." ”

Su Zongshan He had expected that he would kill him halfway, he was caught off guard, he obviously had no idea, and his eyes became flustered; But he still pretended to be calm, and he could only see the moves: "Haha, it seems that I am wrong to blame Master Lu." But now that the words have been said, there is no need to worry about who is going to apologize. ”

"No," Cui Yi said next, "Su Gong has always been interested in harmony with his colleagues, if Lord Lu bows his head and suffers this humiliation, won't he resent me in his heart?" I'll take the blame. ”

Su Zongshan was helpless, and secretly thought: 'If someone else comes to apologize, it will not hurt the whole', so he said with a cold face: "That...... Lu Yushi, just go away. ”

"Yes." Lu Tingci took the order and left, but after only taking a few steps, he was stopped by Cui Yi shouting:

"Wait!"

"What's the matter?" Lu Tingci looked at him in confusion.

Cui Yi smiled and said, "Before I apologize to everyone, I have to make amends to you first." Let you be wronged below. ”

"Choi and Xun! You son of a bitch! ”

Before Cui Yi's words were finished, an official couldn't help it, jumped out and scolded, "Why is it more difficult to ask you to apologize than to ascend to the sky?" The mistakes made by your Ye Party have forced Su Gong to come to you like serving your ancestors, and you will come to you with a good voice! He can swallow his breath, and we can hold back the fire in our stomachs when we see it, and our hearts are uncomfortable! You two are obviously in the same group, and you are still acting in a play here, who do you want to disgust! Ladies and gentlemen, the Ye Party is so rampant and domineering, what else do we give them face! ”

After speaking, there was a sudden uproar, a mess, and stepped forward to surround Cui Yi and others.
