In the Qianyuan Palace, the father and son of the Wang family knelt again.

Wang Heng felt very sorry for Liang Xinming, thinking that she would get up in the early morning, tired for most of the day, the water and rice did not touch her teeth, and she had to kneel to be interrogated, how could she stand such a toss? He worriedly motioned to his father to look at Liang Xinming, and made up his mind to solve the matter quickly, so that Liang Xinming could rest.

Wang Jian was naturally worried and thought of ideas.

At the request of Liang Xinming, Emperor Jing Kang and the courtiers recalled and recorded the content of the previous arguments between the two sides. Liang Xinming and Wang Heng showed a strong memory, repeating what everyone had said.

With every word spoken, someone proves:

"That's what I said at the time. ”

That's what Su Xiang said. ”

That's what Jin Shangshu said. ”

The crowd was terrified and frightened.

At this moment, Shen Hai announced: "The queen mother has arrived-"

Emperor Jing Kang was stunned, what do you want the queen to do?

The ministers were also surprised, and without waiting to think about it, they saw the queen's phoenix crown and phoenix robe, dressed up and entering the Golden Palace as if she were participating in the ceremony, and walked up without squinting.

Dongfang Tilt Mo followed her.

Emperor Jing Kangdi hurriedly asked, "Why is the queen here?"

Empress Chen said: "The concubine heard that Liang Xinming disguised herself as a man and committed the crime of bullying the king, and the emperor was trying it in the Golden Palace, so the concubine came to listen." ”

Jing Kangdi: "......"

What's the matter with the Queen?

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it on his lips. The queen almost lost her life for him, he couldn't bear to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven and order her to retreat, and besides, in front of the ministers, he wanted to maintain the dignity and decency that the queen should have. But he didn't want the queen to meddle in this matter. After going through Dong Guifei, Zuo Guiren, and Wu Guiren, he was really afraid that the queen would also attack Liang Xinming. It's not that he is too careful, because the queen has always attached importance to rules and etiquette, Liang Xinming disguised herself as a man and mixed into the imperial examination, can the queen tolerate it?

He hesitated, and froze for a moment.

As soon as Su Xiang saw Dongfang Dumping Ink, and then listened to the queen's words, he understood that she was invited by Dongfang Dumping Ink to support Liang Xinming, and he was displeased, and hurriedly said: "The queen's mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

The queen just walked to the bottom of the golden steps, and immediately turned around when she heard this, her phoenix eyes shot a compelling light, staring at Su Xiang and asking, "Liang Xinming is really a woman?"

Su Xiang said: "Yes." She confessed it herself. ”

The queen said in a loud voice: "Yes, it's good! This palace is the mother of the Great Jing Kingdom, and all women in the world can manage it, how can they not control Liang Xinming?"

Everyone: "......"

Cui Yuan is not happy, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of the etiquette system, the imperial examination and other things, a Liang Xinming woman disguised as a man to mix into the imperial examination is intolerable, not to mention that the queen came to interfere in politics? He resolutely cannot tolerate it!

At that moment, he said solemnly: "Queen Mother, although Liang Xinming is a woman, she committed the court discipline, which should be dealt with by the emperor." If the mother intervenes, she is a harem politician. Niangniang has always been smart and wise, and she will not be ignorant. ”

The queen said: "This palace doesn't want to meddle in politics. ”

Cui Yuan said: "Please avoid it like this." ”

The queen said: "Don't worry, my lord, this palace will not interfere, and this palace will listen to the trial on the side." Although Liang Xinming committed the crime of defrauding the monarch, he also made great contributions to the imperial court, whether he died or was pardoned, he must be upright! This palace is here today to prevent someone from following the example of Meng's mother and daughter and once again silently erasing her. If that's the case, this palace will fight for this queen not to do it, and it will also be blocked!!"

Suddenly a needle drop could be heard on the golden palace.

Everyone looked at the queen blankly, she stood at the bottom of the golden steps, her phoenix eyes were sharp, majestic and natural, and Liang Xinming was so similar. suddenly understood: in their bones, they are the same kind of women, the difference is that Liang Xinming's performance is round and hidden, while the queen is upright and daring.

Liang Xinming leaned over and bowed: "The sinner knocks on Niangniang!"

She didn't expect the queen to support her strongly, she was moved and surprised, and it seemed hypocritical to say anything at this time, only Xie En accepted the asylum.

Wang Heng also hurriedly thanked him, thinking that Zuo Xiang had finally done one thing right: to help the emperor marry a good queen. This courage deserves the title of the mother of the nation!

The queen nodded faintly at them.

Emperor Jing Kangdi was like a dream, thinking: If it weren't for Liang Xinming having disclosed his identity as a woman, I would still think that the queen Hongxing was out of the wall.

Since the queen is here to support Liang Xinming, it is convenient to let her hear the trial here. If he is too protective of Liang Xinming, the courtiers will suspect that he has been confused by Liang Xinming, and they will get rid of Liang Xinming, and the queen will come forward differently. If there is anything for the queen to come out and say, he only needs to point out (instigate) behind his back, these are the methods that Zuo Xiang taught him......

Thinking of Zuo Xiang, he was bored in his heart, hurriedly cut off his thoughts, and said majestically: "What the queen said is reasonable. Come on, set up a seat!" beckoned to the queen and said, "The queen comes up." Can I take my medicine today, do you feel better?"

Shen Hai hurriedly instructed the little eunuch to carry the chair.

The queen stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you for your concern." The concubine is already well. ”

Jing Kangdi winked at her.

The queen was stunned, what do you mean?

When the ministers saw the emperor's loving appearance, they were full of weirdness, not that they shouldn't be affectionate, but that the place of affection was wrong, this was the Qianyuan Palace!

At one time, the chair was moved and placed on the left side of the dragon chair, and the queen sat down, and Zhou Chang also came, and was ordered to write a record, and the emperor returned to the topic. He flipped through the records on the imperial case, and recalled the dispute between the two sides in the Taimiao, as if Liang Xinming questioned Su Xiang: The crime of bullying the monarch she committed was the same as the crime of bullying the monarch committed by Zuo Duanyang, and asked Su Xiang to think carefully before answering. Su Xiang hasn't answered yet.

Emperor Jing Kang straightened out his thoughts, and then asked downward: "Su Aiqing, Liang Xinming asked you before, but you think that the crime she committed to deceive the monarch is of the same nature as the crime committed by Zuo Duanyang, can you think of an answer?"

Su Xiang was about to answer, but Liang Xinming rushed and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has something to say." ”

Jing Kangdi said: "Say!"

Liang Xinming said: "The criminal doesn't want to ask Su Xiang. The sinner should be asked by another person. ”

Jing Kangdi said: "Change whom?"

Liang Xinming said: "Cui Shangshu." ”

Jing Kangdi: "......"

He agreed to Liang Xinming's request, because Cui Yuan was also one of the people who impeached Liang Xinming, and he would not deliberately cover up Liang Xinming, and the others also agreed.

Liang Xinming turned his face to look at Cui Yuan, and said seriously: "The teacher is a decent person, not the same as sycophants and those who compete in camps. The student deceived the king and affected the teacher, and he never dared to ask the teacher for protection, so he only asked the teacher to answer truthfully: Is the crime of deceiving the king committed by Qingyun really the same as the crime of bullying the king of Zuo Duanyang?"

Cui Yuan's horse face was stretched longer, and he glanced at Liang Xinming with a complicated expression, before he raised his head and said solemnly to the emperor: "Weichen thinks that the two are different in nature and cannot be compared. Zuo Duanyang plotted to kill the prince, interfered in the succession to the throne, messed up the monarch and ministers, and punished the nine clans. But—"

Emperor Jing Kangdi hurriedly asked, "But what?"
