Inspection Division.

When Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting arrived at the Supervisory Office Garden, Kong Jijiu and others were already sitting in their seats waiting.

Glancing around, I saw several elderly people writing furiously with their heads down. It was obvious that they had not finished copying the test papers.

In addition, there are several vacancies.

Jiang Yueyang glanced at the empty seats and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She found a seat for Lu Yunting to sit down, then walked to her own seat and glanced at everyone.

Then she picked up a piece of paper that was pressed under the paperweight, cleared her throat and said, "Now, let's take roll call."

Everyone was confused, roll call?

Jiang Yueyang explained, "It's just like roll call. I told you on the first day that if you don't come to class, you have to ask for leave."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously glanced at the empty seats and knew why she suddenly called out their names.

Lord Xiao Jiang must want to punish someone again.

It’s no wonder they think so. After all, they have never been called to roll since they started learning Arabic numerals.

Since someone didn't come today, she remembered to take roll call. You can imagine what she was thinking.

Jiang Yueyang knew what they were thinking at a glance, and she argued seriously, "I didn't call the roll before because I wanted to test your self-awareness. I didn't expect that someone would skip class after just a few days."

Everyone: "..."

Such a legitimate reason, they were speechless for a moment.

Just as Jiang Yueyang was about to call the roll, the Duke of England smiled and pointed to an empty seat and asked, "Master Jiang, my memory is not very good. Who is sitting in that seat?"

Jiang Yueyang looked in the direction his finger pointed, and saw that the empty seat belonged to her father.

She knew what the Duke of England meant by that question without even thinking about it, but unfortunately she was not going to give up the roll call for her father's sake.

She looked away and replied with a smile, "Duke Yingguo, that's the position of Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Revenue. Don't worry, I won't show favoritism."

Hearing this, the Duke of England knew that Jiang Yueyang had to be ordered today.

He observed a moment of silence for those colleagues who were absent.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start calling the roll. Those whose names are called can answer." Jiang Yueyang continued.

"Kong Jiji wine."

"...Here." Kong Jijiu felt inexplicably embarrassed.

"British Duke."

"Here!" the Duke of England responded with full energy.

"Minister of Rites..." Jiang Yueyang called out the names one by one, and the people present responded one after another.

After a while, she called the last person.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance."

Although Jiang Yueyang just said that she would not show favoritism, she still couldn't help but put her father's name at the end.

Just as she was about to say what punishment would be given to those absent, Minister Jiang ran in from outside.

He ran and panted as he said, "Sorry, there was a problem at the Ministry of Revenue, so I'm late."

After leaving court, he went to the toilet. He had plenty of time, but on his way there, he was called back by his subordinates.

After all this back and forth, he was late.

He always kept in mind what his daughter said and ran all the way here, but still failed to catch up.

Now that he is late, I wonder what kind of punishment he will receive?

Jiang Yueyang raised her hand to signal him to return to his seat, then put down the list in her hand and said seriously, "Today, there are two people who are absent without reason and one who is late.

As I said before, those who are absent or late will be punished. Those who are absent will copy the "Records of the Grand Historian" once, and those who are late will copy the "Analects of Confucius" once.

After hearing this, everyone was secretly amazed. There is a lot of content in "Records of the Grand Historian" and "The Analects of Confucius".

Minister Jiang widened his eyes, but did not dare to complain, otherwise it would be even worse.

"Host, you're truly rebellious! I've never seen a math teacher punish students by making them copy Chinese text." The system couldn't help but speak out.

Jiang Yueyang didn't take it seriously. "So what? Who said math teachers can't punish students by making them copy Chinese?"

【As long as you are happy.】

Jiang Yueyang continued, "Considering that you all have your own jobs to do, I'll give you a month. If you can't finish copying it after a month, you can copy it again."

After saying that, she looked at the Duke of England again and said, "Duke of England, please help notify the two people who are absent."

"No problem, I promise to convey the message accurately to Lord Wei and the others." The Duke of England agreed readily.

Today, the two people who were absent without reason were the Imperial Censor Wei and the Left Prime Minister.

Speaking of the two of them, the reason for their absence was because the Queen had been married before.

In the Censorate.

A group of censors argued for a long time about the issue of deposing the empress but could not reach a conclusion, so they had to ask the Grand Censor Wei to make the decision.

"Master Wei, do you think we should depose the queen?"

When they asked for his opinion, Lord Wei replied without hesitation, "Although the Empress had been married before, she was not immoral or chaste. She has committed no faults since entering the Imperial Palace and even gave birth to an excellent crown prince for Great Xia."

When everyone heard this, they knew that Lord Wei did not agree to depose the queen.

Censor Zhang, who advocated for the empress's dethronement, looked dissatisfied, "But she was married after all, and she deceived Your Majesty."

"Whether Your Majesty has been deceived is still unknown." Lord Wei's words had hidden meaning.

The censor didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment and blurted out, "The little guy said that Your Majesty doesn't know about that matter anymore."

Upon hearing this, one of the censors who disagreed with the dethronement of the empress chuckled.

Censor Zhang felt that the laughter was full of irony and said unhappily, "Master Li, what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

"You are right, but whether Your Majesty knows that the Empress was once married is up to Your Majesty to decide."

Censor Zhang was stunned for a moment, and only then did he understand the implication of Lord Wei's words.

After a while, seeing that no one else spoke, Lord Wei stood up and said, "Alright, let's leave this matter at that. Everyone, go back to your own business."

After everyone bowed to Lord Wei, they returned to their seats. The censors who advocated the dethronement of the empress secretly considered whether they should submit a memorial requesting Emperor Yuan to dethrone the empress.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

After Jiang Yueyang assigned today's classwork, he waved his hand and announced the end of get out of class.

After everyone left the garden, Minister Jiang walked up to Jiang Yueyang and humbly asked, "Yangyang, can you be flexible about copying the Analects?"

Jiang Yueyang shook his head decisively, "No, I can't compromise at all. Besides, you're my father, and everyone is watching!"

"Okay, copy it!" After saying that, Minister Jiang turned around and left angrily.

Seeing this, Lu Yunting hurriedly said to Jiang Yueyang, "Yangyang, I'm going to talk to Uncle Jiang about the marriage. I'll be back soon."

"Oh~"

After hearing her answer, Lu Yunting quickly chased after her and soon caught up with Minister Jiang.

"Uncle Jiang."

Minister Jiang turned around upon hearing the voice.

Lu Yunting walked up to him and said sincerely, "Uncle Jiang, Yangyang has agreed to marry me. If you have no objection, I will find a date to come and discuss the wedding date."

When Minister Jiang heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, then said with a stern face, "I have to copy the Analects of Confucius, so I don't have time."

Lu Yunting immediately understood what he meant. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I'll help you copy it."

"I'll come to your house when you finish copying."
