Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 378 Dissatisfied
"Well said! I agree with Su Siqing's words. Wang Deng, this matter is due to your incompetence and negligence, which led to such a result."

Several people immediately looked out and found that the person who came was E Chongming, the chief assistant.

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

"Your Majesty, the people outside the palace are outraged, and they are all besieged in front of the palace gate. If Mr. Wang is not severely punished, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the people."

Wang Deng's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately begged the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do this! They can't understand my difficulties, but you should be clear, Your Majesty."

"Wang Shangshu, what Su Siqing said is true. You are duty-bound to cause such a catastrophe. It is because of your negligence that you have suffered heavy losses. Nearly 300 people were killed, but they are still the pillars of the country. Even if the people can't help you, but Nor will the law forgive you."

There was a cold light in E Chongming's eyes. The seat of Minister of Rites should have been replaced a long time ago.

He turned his head and lifted the hem of his official uniform, and knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, Yu Fa, this is Wang Shangshu's dereliction of duty. With so many candidates killed, even the Tribute Court has collapsed. This is a loss to the court."

"With love, the family members of those candidates are in grief. They have lost the pillars of their families. They have nowhere to rely on for their old age and nowhere to support their children. There are also candidates who have studied hard for more than ten years in order to become officials for the benefit of the people, but they are innocent Died in the fire, they can't rest in peace!"

"Your Majesty! If Wang Shangshu is not punished, the common people will not be angry!"

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

Su Jinxun was surprised why the first assistant agreed with him today, but then he thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but feel cold.

But no matter what Shoufu is planning, they are on the same front right now.

Wang Deng must win today!

Wang Deng was terrified immediately, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I am not understood by the world, and they put all the blame on me. I can't argue with my mouth!"

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

"Your Majesty, I know that Lord Wang is a long-standing minister, but there is no doubt that he made a mistake this time. You can't treat him lightly just because you are concerned about the old relationship, and the minister refuses to obey!"

"Submit!"

"I'm not convinced!"

Su Jinxun fell to the ground, and the sound of dissatisfaction resounded through the imperial study, the emperor was deafening, seeing Su Jinxun crying and wiping away his tears, he couldn't help feeling a little pity.

"Your Majesty! There are people outside who want to break into the palace gate. The humble officials have sent troops to temporarily suppress it, but they are all filled with righteous indignation, and more and more people gather together."

Congrong, the commander of the imperial guards, came to report suddenly, and the emperor was taken aback.

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

"It is said that the court will hand over Lord Wang, or severely punish him, otherwise he will not leave."

"Your Majesty! It's not good! There is news from the North City Bingma Division that the Lord Wang's mansion has been besieged by the people, threatening to break into the Lord Wang's mansion if he is not severely punished. The humble official wanted to lead troops to besiege, But the people are very excited, and they dare not act rashly at this moment."

Commander Zeng Guolin hurried to the imperial study to report.

Wang Deng was scared out of his wits, "Those people, they are going to rebel."

"Master Fu, quickly lead someone to arrest them all, they are planning to rebel!"

After Wang Deng finished speaking, he pointed at Zeng Guolin again, "Master Zeng, hurry up! Go and protect my family, those people are all country bastards, my family will suffer!"

"Didn't you say to suppress this matter for the time being? How could there be such a commotion?" The emperor felt a little headache, and knew in his heart that there is no impenetrable wall in this world?

He glanced at Wang Deng and couldn't help shaking his head.Wang Deng can't keep it, but who will replace this seat?He is worried!

He sighed deeply, and lost another pure minister.

Glancing at Su Jinxun, the emperor's heart skipped a beat.No faction, no promising junior, you can handle it!
Acacia quickly rushed back again, it doesn't want to leave Su Yizhao now.

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

Su Yijue was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Then I will go with you."

Then, the two hurriedly walked a long way, and even turned a corner.

"Fifth brother, hurry up! Hold the torch for me."

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

"You still carry these with you? Don't you care about them when you run away?"

Su Yijue couldn't help admiring, this should be the previous exam paper.

"Isn't it because I thought the fire could be controlled, so I brought out the test papers, lest all the previous tests fall short, and I don't think they can be used."

Speaking of this, Su Yizhao couldn't help sighing, it was the last test, and she had finished the exam.

She will be able to leave the tribute courtyard in another day, but it is useless now.

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

"I've found a rescuer, but we can't go out yet, so I want Xiangsi to help me get the news out."

As Su Yizhao spoke, he licked the dry nib in his mouth, and then began to write vigorously.

"Have you found a rescuer? Then we can go out, why do you still have to write a letter?" He was overjoyed, they were finally saved.

Su Yizhao didn't answer, but concentrated on writing something instead.

Su Yijue held the fire folder, intending to take a closer look at what he wrote, but Su Yizhao had already rolled up the paper, and tore off a small piece of cloth from his body, and tied the piece of paper to Acacia's leg.

"Xiangsi, please give me one more thing, give this note to the person you saw just now, hurry up!"

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

"Let's make a long story short, although we were really unlucky to be trapped in the fire. But if you think about it carefully, it's actually an opportunity."

"How to say?" Su Yijue suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, he had already returned to his heart, and he didn't understand what Su Yizhao was talking about.

"This time, the Ministry of Rites presided over the Spring Festival. The Gongyuan was on fire. Would the officials of the Ministry of Rites not know? Such a big fire happened. Guess where Shangshu Wang Deng of the Ministry of Rites was at that time? Anyway, a dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty is indispensable."

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

"You mean? But even so, this seat is not my grandfather's turn!"

"How do you know if you don't try? Even if it's not for this seat, then the emperor shouldn't have treated grandfather badly, maybe Sanbo can also benefit from it."

Su Yizhao quickly analyzed, "Even if we don't stare at the position of Minister of Rites, others will. It's better to plan ahead."

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