Who will stop this crazy world in Red Mansion

In fact, flooding in the examination room is not uncommon in the former court. Almost every year, candidates suffer from flooding due to knocking down oil lamps and candles. After all, the examination hall in the former court was still a wooden leaky room.

It's just that in the Daqing Dynasty, it almost disappeared, because □□ wanted to prevent fires, and also to show that he valued scholars.

The tribute courtyard left over from the previous dynasty was greatly renovated, and all the wooden houses were changed into green diamond tile houses. Heating Kang was even provided to show kindness to scholars all over the world.

In the period of Prince Yitai, Prince Yitai, who was still the prince at that time, even got hundreds of glazed oil lamps from his private treasury, and installed them in every test house, and the hidden danger of water leakage tended to zero.

Therefore, the sudden flood, which has not happened for many years, all of a sudden, everyone did not react, and when they did, they panicked.

If it is a normal person, when there is a fire during the exam, and it is still a fire that cannot be extinguished, the examinees must be allowed to take refuge and open the door to escape.

It's a pity that what they met was the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who was rigid and abiding by etiquette.

He believes that the imperial court's imperial examination is sacred and inviolable, and it needs to be maintained with life.

Therefore, for the candidates who ignored his warning and were afraid that they would die in the sea of ​​fire if they took a step too late, they were really angry.

"Zhuzi is unreasonable!"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry really wanted to refute, dear, you are also standing here at the door, you have no position to criticize others!

However, he was soon dumbfounded.

"The old man has been an official for decades. After three dynasties, he has a clear conscience about the knowledge of being a sage. Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have been wise emperors. They have worked hard to obtain scholars for the Daqing imperial examination. They have such preferential treatment. Today is just a show. A small fire, you gave up the pride of being familiar with the holy scriptures, and all abandoned the books and fled. When you become an official in the future, will you abandon the country and the people because of a momentary danger? I declare that you have lost everything Can you accept the qualifications for this exam?"

Take it, of course take it!

The invigilators felt that all the candidates had violated the rules, so there was no objection to disqualifying them all.

Candidates felt that they were not the only ones who violated the regulations, but everyone violated the regulations.

Also, the boss of the Ministry of Rites, Xiaohuo? !

Didn't you see the smoke and fire? !

And the sound of houses collapsing incessantly.

If you take a step slower, you will definitely become coke!

We are in a hurry to escape!

Take it, definitely take it!

"Very well, I abandoned my pen when I was in danger. I am ashamed of the imperial court and my ancestors. Now I want to leave the Gongyuan with a greedy life and fear of death. It is really a shame for my generation of scholars. The court Laws, the gate of the Tribute Court, only when the exam is open and when the exam is closed is the time for you to come in and out. As the chief examiner, although I am already in my old age, if anyone wants to open it before the exam is over The gate of the Gongyuan, just step through my corpse."

Proctors and Candidates: ...

It makes sense, I was speechless.

In the thick smoke, they instantly felt that the old Shangshu grew taller.

At this moment, even though everyone wanted to leave, someone took the lead in saying such righteous words.Even if this normal escape is elevated to the national righteousness, who would dare to run? !

Therefore, the examiners and candidates who were thinking about escaping from the door just now dare not move a step forward.

They all put on their poses and sat on both sides of the gate of the tribute courtyard, looking as if they were dying.

If you escape like this, although you will definitely save your life, but you will lose your reputation and future, you might as well be burned to death.

What's more, isn't the gate of the Gongyuan already opened? It's not the most tense time yet, don't worry!

Didn't you see that they were all obediently standing on both sides?

What for?

The purpose is to let people come in to put out the fire.

Although Lao Shangshu didn't let them go out, he didn't stop people from outside to come in to put out the fire!

but……

But Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has an expression of the end of the world!

"Brother Jing Jing, count the number of candidates, isn't it right?"

Why didn't you see the one with the most personality, the most handsome, and the most attention? !

The old Shangshu who spoke generously finally recovered from his excitement.

Like everyone else, dumbfounded!

He also found out, what about the examinee who he thought was an eyesore? !

What the hell!

What about the young master of the Lin family? !

One examinee said weakly: "Tell the examiner, when I left, Brother Lin seemed to be still meditating..."

All the examiners, including Lao Shangshu, knew instantly that something was going to happen.

Why didn't the one who needed him to escape the most didn't escape.

Why don't you drag that guy out too!

What's the use of you!

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately opened his throat and yelled at the firefighters: "There is someone in Jiamao Fang, go to Jiamao Fang first!"

Everyone knows that the position of the Lin family in His Majesty's heart, as long as they are not blind, the examiners have already decided internally to praise the young master of the Lin family. Huiyuan dare not give it to him openly, but the second to tenth, But it's anyone's choice!

If there is something wrong with him, our group of people will wait for the Imperial Forest Army to invite us to drink tea!

However, Lin Min's test house is very special, neither good nor bad. It is in the center of the entire Gongyuan, and the scorching fire has engulfed all the connected test houses.

They could also feel the heat coming from the pavement at the door. In this big fire dragon, to rescue Lin Min who was in the middle of the fire, it was as difficult as going to heaven, okay?

And, it's been so long...

Fittingly, the test house in front of them was engulfed in flames, and fell down with a bang.

Lin Min is probably in danger.

The helpless chief examiners stared at the burning Gongyuan as if they were bereaved. It is already conceivable that their future is bleak.

When the emperor's family and the Lin family's family abandoned their carts and mounted their horses, they galloped to the capital with a large group of people, heading straight for the Gongyuan.

What I saw was a burnt-out tribute courtyard, and a group of examiners and examinees with gray heads, black faces, and dull eyes.

They looked at Gongyuan with sad and bewildered expressions.

The fire can be said to be extinguished, although sporadic, there are still some sparks emerging.

But no one dared to rush into the coke-like test house to confirm things they could not accept.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Dai Quan sang responsibly.

But it took a while for this group of people to come back to their senses, and they all knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty of entrusting them with responsibility, and they deserve death."

Regardless of these, Jia Min took a quick look and didn't see his own children at all. He passed the emperor's family very rudely, looked at the chief examiner, and asked sharply, "Did you see my son Lin Min?"

My son... Lin Min...

It was a beautiful woman who asked the question.

very good!

If you dare to intervene in the royal family, the age and appearance are all in line, only the Lin family's mistress, Lin Jiashi.

That is Lin Min's mother, the only mother of the young Yingcai who died in the fire in the Gongyuan.

Faced with the mother's impolite questioning, the examiners looked at each other and I looked at you. They didn't know how to answer, so they had to bow their heads as if to avoid it.

Jia Min seemed to think of something, his eyes widened in horror, and he took a few steps back in disbelief.

"No, no."

Without His Majesty's signal, the Empress immediately stepped forward to comfort her: "Sister Min..."

Just being swung away by Jia Min, who was unwilling to accept the reality, he murmured hysterically, "I don't believe it..."

Although the crooning was low, it hurt the ears of everyone present.

Without paying attention, Jia Min ran towards the dilapidated test house in grief.

"Mother, wait for us!"

The six children of the Lin family, including Lin Daiyu, followed Jia Min with sad faces.

The short legs of Lin Chen, Lin Xin, and Lin Xu swayed, which made people worry.

His Majesty the Emperor immediately patted his stupid son on the head: "Not yet!"

At this time, you son-in-law dare to be in a daze and put away your unbelievable look!

The Empress was more rational, and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to keep up, and she also chased after Jia Min without hesitation.

After all, although the fire has been extinguished, is there still thick smoke and sparks coming out, and if you are not careful, there is a possibility of resurgence.

A mother who lost her beloved son couldn't take care of so much.

As if by divine help, even though he had never been to the Gongyuan, Jia Min staggered towards the Jiamao house.

At first, Jia Min was still worried and scared, his eyes were dizzy...

It's just that when she entered the ruins of the Gongyuan Research House, she felt relieved!

Because, she saw that in the center of the ruins of the Gongyuan Research House, there was a place that was not affected at all.

It is not right to say that it has not been affected, but in the center of the dilapidated and charred Gongyuan, there is a place that has been cleaned up very clean.

With an indifferent face, you don't need to think to know whose masterpiece it is.

So, relieved, Jia Min staggered a bit, and went there.

"Min'er~..." Jia Min called angrily, "Are you there?"

Although it has been confirmed that there is nothing wrong, it is still worrying that there is no confirmation!

Daiyu also called out sadly: "Brother..."

Tears come as they say.

The fifth younger brother of the Lin family was the calmest, but he also suppressed his smile and compared each other with bitter faces, shouting: "Brother..."

Come out quickly, if you don't come out again, the beauty mother and younger sister (sister) are going to cry!

The emperor's family also arrived, and quickly divided the labor and cooperated to comfort the Lin family.

His Majesty the Emperor is in charge of the boys of the Lin family, the Empress is in charge of Jia Min, and the butcher prince, of course, is in charge of Daiyu's sister.

It's just that the division of labor has just been completed, and before I can afford to comfort him, something creepy happens.

On a piece of flat ground, a hand popped out suddenly!

After the Taishang Huang entertained the dinner, it was already evening and it was getting dark. They hurried back and it took almost an hour.

If it wasn't for the thick fog caused by the thick smoke, they might still be able to see the sky full of stars now.

At the scene of the fire that had just been extinguished, a ghost claw suddenly appeared...

It's scary, okay?

It was a terrifying existence for everyone, but it made Jia Min completely relieved.

Brat, you wait.

In everyone's horrified eyes.

One hand appeared, two hands appeared, and then a head, and finally jumped, and a person just emerged from the ground.

Unable to adapt to the dust on his body, Lin Min was very curious: "Mother, sister, brother? Why are you all here? The exam should not be over yet?!"

Lin Min? !

Except for the Lin family, everyone was dumbfounded: there is a ghost!

Jia Min: Fuck you, it's not over!
