Wu Zetian took a deep breath, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Finally, her faint gaze gradually dimmed.

Looking at the nobles and important officials, she couldn't help but sigh.

"So...what do you want?"

This sentence was clearly Wu Zetian planned to give in.

The old man was still humble and looked angry and said with a smile: "Sage, I think that if I cannot punish severely and serve as a warning, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will follow me in the future. Therefore, my superficial view is... Qin Shaoyou is a man who deceives the emperor and kills him. As for the doctors in the four schools of thought, he has been dismissed from office and the lecturers he recruits will be exiled to other places, so that he can calm the hearts of the people."

Wu Zetian pursed her lips, and her eyes were filled with cold light. Unexpectedly, even if she was willing to give in, these people still used killing moves and did not give up because of their own give in.

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "Is it heavy?"

"Sage." The old man looked at Wu Zetian in awe and said word by word: "If this is not the case, it is not enough to calm the public's anger!"

Wu Zetian was stunned. Of course she knew what kind of people this ‘civilian’ was. These people were the basis of the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were spread throughout the states and counties, occupying the vast majority of the land, cattle and sheep, and population...

She was shaken at this time.

…………

When the ministers saw His Majesty's lip-biting expression, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although there were some twists and turns, the overall situation was decided in the end, because once His Majesty was shaken, he would definitely compromise. As long as the Holy Emperor opened the golden mouth, it would be difficult to stop the water. The hidden dangers in the four schools were no longer feared.

But at this moment, the thunderous drum sounded rumbling.

There is a drum sound in the palace, which is ringing every day according to the hour. This is not surprising.

But……

The drum sounds quickly and vigorously, and is chaotic, which is obviously very different from the bells and drums that report the time.

Besides that, where can there be drums?

Everyone was surprised.

Suddenly, someone remembered something and couldn't help but whisper: "Is it the Dengwen drum?"

"Who is this so bold!" The old man seemed a little angry, and he was about to make an end to solve the last trouble, but at this time someone came to complain.

The Dengwen Drum is indeed used to complain about injustice. Throughout the dynasties, the Dengwen Drum will be set up outside the palace. According to the rules, anyone who has difficulty in exercising his grievances can beat this drum to complain to the emperor.

However... the complaint of the emperor is just a formality. If someone really approached the palace gate, he would have been taken by the guards long ago. Therefore, the drum was just a decoration, revealing the saint's wide open path of speech, and that's all.

But now... the drum sounded, and the drum sounded rapidly, making people's hearts thump with the rhythm of the drum beats.

After a moment, an eunuch hurriedly entered the hall, bowed his head and said with a rapid breath: "Your Majesty, Qin Shaoyou, the assistant teacher of the Four Schools, beat the drum and complained about his grievances..."

"Bold!" Wu Zetian was furious: "He actually dared to come!"

Wu Zetian denounced it, not without reason. Although things are bad now, she is willing to bargain. In any case, she may be able to save Qin Shaoyou's life. But now, Qin Shaoyou is making trouble again. She is hitting herself in the gun, she is really a bastard.

But at this time, someone said something: "Isn't Qin Shaoyou in prison?"

This sentence suddenly made people happy and sad. A person who should have been in prison suddenly was released from prison. As the most central figure in the dynasty, no one knew about it. So how did this person get out of prison?

I'm afraid this is another crime, and Qin Shaoyou's head is afraid that another serious crime will be added.

Wu Zetian had no choice but to shook his sleeves and said, "Xuan!"

With an order, Qin Shaoyou and Wu Chengsi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, entered the Xuanzheng Hall.

When Qin Shaoyou appeared, countless malicious eyes looked at him, and this feeling... strange...

Qin Shaoyou looked at him without squinting, but ignored these people. He only had Wu Zetian in his eyes. Seeing Wu Zetian looking at him coldly, his eyes as sharp as a sharp sword, Qin Shaoyou was not afraid. He leaned and bowed, "I have seen the Holy Emperor."

It is a very light etiquette, flowing.

Wu Zetian sneered: "Qin Shaoyou, since you have beaten the Dengwen Drum, what are the injustices?"

Everyone's eyes returned to Qin Shaoyou.

Especially Chen Jijiu, looking at him with a smile, which seemed to have a profound meaning. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This guy probably came to Chen's injustice, but the matter had been decided in the Xuanzheng Hall just now. It was a foregone conclusion. In addition, so many people with great weight insisted that it was too late to come to Chen's injustice, and it was still a shame for himself.

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "There are no grievances, and I have no grievances."

What……

Chen Jijiu looked shocked. There was no grievance. What did you come to do? At this time, shouldn’t this guy cry and defend himself?

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "Since there is no injustice, why dare to be so presumptuous!"

Qin Shaoyou was very careful and said, "Although there is no injustice, as a court official, he should be loyal to the court and serve the Holy Emperor. If he finds that there are treacherous slanders in the court and corrupt the court's principles, if he does not report and expose it, wouldn't he die?"

Report and expose...

I have only heard of a person crying and making excuses, but I have never heard of a guy who was sued to come and sue him.

This guy has a very thick skin.

However, he had made many extraordinary moves in the past, and most people only thought he was a desperate person.

Wu Zetian was completely desperate about Qin Shaoyou. This guy still thinks it is useful to roll around?

"Who are you going to sue?"

Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "One of the Imperial College Priest Chen Rang was ignorant of learning, and the second was Wu Yinglong, a doctor of the Imperial College, mislead his children. Chen Rang, as the Imperial College Priest, was foolish and incompetent, and abandoned his studies, which led to a depression in his studies. Not only that, he also did not distinguish right from wrong, framed good talents, followed the old-fashioned, and was incompetent, and was outrageous. He dared to ask the Holy Emperor, is such a person guilty of possessing a high position and being incompetent?"

"Another!" Qin Shaoyou was full of momentum and continued with a loud voice: "Wu Yinglong, a doctor of mathematics, misleads his children and makes the pillars of the country a living bag. Whenever I think of such a thing, I can't help but worry about the court, so I dare to impeach these two people, hoping that the Holy Emperor will distinguish right from wrong, punish the evil people, and revitalize the academic affairs."

This guy was talking very well, which made Chen Jijiu laugh.

It's really outrageous that he still doesn't know how to live or die. Chen Jijiu immediately retorted: "Qin Shaoyou, don't you know how to live or die until now?"

Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "Chen Jiji, how can the officials not know how to live or die?"

"You..." Chen Jijiu angrily scolded: "You are ignorant."

Qin Shaoyou said: "How can I see it?"

Chen Jijiu said: "Everyone, the evidence is there."

Qin Shaoyou said: "So, is the lord so wronged?"

"Nothing nonsense!" Chen Jijiu jumped out of breath.

Qin Shaoyou suddenly pulled his face and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, you have some evidence, so... let's see how my evidence is?" He looked at Wu Chengsi and bowed: "Sir Wu, please."

Wu Chengsi rarely had such a glory today. He only saw everyone's eyes looking at him with a bright look. He was very excited and deliberately cheered up his appetite and said, "The Ministry of Revenue checked the accounts, so he invited students from each student to help. Although there were hundreds of students in the calculation and Imperial College, it took several days, but it was futile. Since then, more than dozens of students from four students took action. One day and one night, the income from last year and the expenses for this year have been calculated."

“…”

Chen Jijiu's face froze.

He was not sure about the bad debts of the Ministry of Revenue, but in fact, the matter was quite a big deal. Some censors even tried to sue the lawsuit. The Ministry of Revenue was so bad that the assistance of each student was futile. The news I heard yesterday was still this confused debts could not be sorted out without ten days or half a month. How could these four subjects be calculated day and night?

This... is absolutely impossible!

Chen Jijiu's face was sallow and she was so angry that she trembled!
