The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

Screams came from under the ruins. The Confucian Temple collapsed suddenly, and the people were crowded. There was no place to run, and many people were crushed underneath.

After a brief moment of shock, everyone around them hurriedly dug to save every one they could.

The soil on the wall was stained with blood, and the more everyone dug, the more their hands trembled.

Each and every one of them was bloody and bloody, with too much air coming out and too little air coming in. It was impossible to save them at first glance.

"Huanji, go, you go to the mansion and invite Doctor Xun and the others. Niu Zhuang, you go and invite the doctors from Jian'an. Hurry!" Li Yi roared.

If the people are not densely packed, there are only a dozen or so at most. If they are gathered together, there is almost no need to suspect hundreds of casualties.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened!"

The eunuch rolled and crawled into the imperial study.

The emperor frowned when he saw his state, "He's so flustered and unbecoming."

"Your Majesty, the Confucian Temple, the Confucian Temple collapsed!"

"what!"

The emperor stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the eunuch, and stared at him, "Is there anyone inside?"

"Yes, there are many, being, being pressed underneath." The eunuch replied tremblingly.

The emperor looked grim and said, "Pass the order and ask the Xiangwu Guards to do their best to save people."

"Tell the imperial doctor to come over quickly."

"Follow Dongwei and put the Department of Rites under strict control!"

"Ask the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation to find out why the Confucian Temple collapsed!"

The emperor issued a series of orders.

After the person left, he slapped his hand on the desk, his eyes darkened.

If this matter is not handled properly, the royal family's prestige in Chu will be greatly reduced.

A scholar's mouth is more powerful than anything else.

The collapse of the Confucian Temple spread throughout Jian'an within a short time. Everyone was shocked. The Minister of Rites collapsed on his chair, his eyes dull, and he sat on the ground.

After being stunned for a while, he got up and staggered out.

No, we must not sit still and wait for death.

"Master, it's not good!"

"Dongwei has surrounded our house!" the attendant of the Minister of Rites, holding up his trouser legs, stumbled towards the Minister of Rites and shouted.

The Minister of Rites shook his body and came so quickly!

Feeling dizzy in front of his eyes, the Minister of Rites knelt on the ground and fainted.

After Xiangwu Guards arrived, within half an hour, all the people who were trapped in the rubble were dug out.

More than 200 people died and more than 300 were seriously or slightly injured.

The scene was very chaotic. Although Xiangwuwei tried his best to maintain it, the public's anger had reached an unbearable peak.

The scholars who had not been able to enter the Confucian Temple were all kneeling on the ground, crying and laughing. Their only spiritual sustenance was destroyed. The sages were ashamed to establish themselves in the world. What else did they expect.

One person untied his crown and hair, took off his Confucian shirt, and slowly walked out barefoot.

All the scholars looked at him and followed him one after another.

After learning five chariots, I hoped that one day I could imitate the sages and help the world and bring peace to the people. However, it turned out that this was just an illusion.

Except for Jian'an, scholars everywhere fell silent when they heard the news.

What a scholar!

Many scholars raised their heads and laughed foolishly. The Confucian Temple collapsed, collapsed! !

Why do they study so hard?

Why! !

Unwilling resentment and roars echoed everywhere.

Li Yi returned with dirt all over his body. He had seen casualties, but the fighting on the battlefield was different from this.

For the sake of family and country, die a worthy death.

But what does this mean?

If it were man-made and he had such contempt for human life, he should be killed!

The government and the public were in turmoil, the emperor was furious, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Eastern Guards, and even the Duchasi were making inroads day by day.

The sky in Jian'an is cloudy.

There seemed to be a thick smell of blood in the air.

Princess Xiangyu was in her bedroom, stroking the painting and weeping. In the painting, there were scholars in groups, talking and laughing, going to the Confucian Temple to worship.

Wen Mansion, Wen Heng was sitting in the courtyard of Mr. Wen, with the wind blowing up the corners of his clothes, feeling sad and lonely.

The Prime Minister on the left looked solemn, and the Prime Minister on the right stretched out his hand to touch the flower.

In the past few days in Jian'an, there was no sound of silk or bamboo.

Feng Qi was drunk again, holding the wine jar and sobbing.

He is a person who took the imperial examination and knows the mood of those scholars best. He has been there for more than ten years! !

The Confucian Temple collapsed and people died. Who could repay the grievances they felt?

Feng Qi knocked his head on the stone table and fell drunk.

Li Yi raised his head to drink, and the wine flowed down his neck and soaked his collar. The sorrow of the literati was not the sorrow of the common people.

Those who truly have ambitions to serve the country and the people, no matter how hard they try, will not be able to enter the hall or see the holy face.

I wasted my whole life, looking at the corpses of others and the common people, full of resentment, but in the end, I could only sigh sadly, what can I do?

The people fight against the officials and seek death.

It's them themselves, not enough knowledge, not enough knowledge!

Asking Tian Jie to help Feng Qi into the house, Li Yi went to the Criminal Department.

"Master Si, I am unjustly accused. This official has never participated in any fraud!" An official from the Ministry of Personnel screamed while lying on the prison railing.

The situation was so serious that in order to calm the people's anger, the emperor ordered all officials who had anything to do with the scientific research to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

The emperor told the people through actions that I will never condone this matter. It is just a traitor who is causing harm to the country. I am as angry and resentful as you.

With the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice, the eyes of the literati were splitting. Every exam was never fair. In addition to the general examination, there were also many manipulations in the provincial examination and the hospital examination.

His involvement is so extensive that even the prison cells of the Ministry of Punishment cannot contain him.

Li Yi walked through the prison, and there were cries of injustice everywhere.

Some of these must be true injustices. After all, when it comes to cheating in scientific examinations, if you don't have enough status, you won't be able to participate even if you want to.

The resentment of all the scholars of the Chu State was enough that the emperor would rather kill him by mistake than let him go and give him a thorough explanation.

This could not but frighten the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel.

They couldn't see the Holy Master, so they could only pray to Li Yi. They were wronged, wronged! !

"Sir, the result is here." Yang Feng hurried to Li Yi with a heavy look on his face.

After the collapse of the Confucian Temple, the Minister of Punishment was furious and vomited blood and fell into a coma. Li Yi is now fully responsible for the Punishment Department.

"What's the reason?" Li Yi raised his eyes.

"The foundation of the Confucian Temple is shallow, the top is too heavy, and the pillars used for support are wrapped with other things. The annual repairs are not done at all."

"There were too many people that day, so..." Yang Feng shook his head and said nothing.

"Go get someone." Li Yi said quietly.

Cutting corners and cutting corners really happens everywhere.

I don’t know how they slept peacefully.

"Sir, the cell is full." Yang Feng reminded Li Yi.

"Go to a farm in the outskirts of Jian'an and move those who are not involved there."

"Sir, firstly, we are short of manpower, and secondly, the daily expenses are too great, and the little money in the account cannot last more than a few days."

Li Yi frowned, "Who is greedy?"

"Sir, this is an injustice. No one can appreciate the amount of money in the account. Any bribe would be higher than that."

Li Yi glanced at Yang Feng.

"Sir, my father-in-law's family is rich." Yang Feng hugged his fat body.

"I hope so. After all, your body is really difficult to open the prison door." Looking away, Li Yi took out a money bag.

"Your Majesty's gentleness and integrity are truly admirable."

"Go to those people's homes and ask them to pay for their meals."
