(Recommended reading: A guy from the Fuxiang Beiping Detachment drove a carriage and waited on the side of the street not far from the Gongyuan, and when Zhao Xin got into the car, he immediately threw his horsewhip and drove towards the imperial city.

On the way, Zhao Xinliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, if she couldn't convince the six departments on duty at the Dengwen drum to give Shizhong and Jinyiwei, then the consequences would be troublesome.

But now Zhao Xin has no choice, she has to take this risk for Li Hongyu's sake.

At this moment, Li Hongyu was pillowing his hands behind his head, lying on the bed and looking at the window on the wall beside him.

For some reason, Li Hongyu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and there was a strange feeling that he couldn't say, he thought he was worried about missing this test.

"She's not going to do anything stupid, is she!" But later, Zhao Xin's figure gradually appeared in front of Li Hongyu's eyes, and he realized that what he was worried about was actually Zhao Xin, and this girl might really beat the drum for him.

Compared with Zhao Xin, Li Hongyu would rather miss this exam for her safety, the so-called ship to the bridgehead is naturally straight, and there is a way to enter the office three years later.

There is a saying among the people of the capital, called "the outer nine inner seven imperial city four", which refers to the number of gates in each city of the capital, of which there are nine city gates in the outer city, seven city gates in the inner city, and four city gates in the imperial city.

The four gates of the imperial city are Daming Gate in the south, Dong'an Gate in the east, Xi'an Gate in the west, and Di'an Gate in the north.

Generally speaking, because the Dong'anmen, Xi'anmen and Di'anmen gates of the imperial city are not often opened, you must pass through the Daming Gate if you want to enter the imperial city.

Outside the Daming Gate, Zhao Xin got out of the carriage, took a deep breath and walked towards the city gate.

Because of Zhao Xin's outstanding appearance and temperament, the soldiers on duty at the city gate thought that she was a person who went to the major ministries and courtyards in the capital to do business, so they let her go after a glance, without even interrogating and searching her body.

After all, now that the Ming Dynasty is "leveling all over the world", whoever is full of food and goes to the imperial city to make trouble, wouldn't that be self-defeating, and naturally this investigation will become lax.

After entering the Daming Gate, Zhao Xin suppressed her excitement and followed the crowd towards the right gate of Chang'an, and her target was naturally the Dengwen Drum Pavilion there.

The left gate of Chang'an and the right gate of Chang'an were built in the eighteenth year of Yongle, it is the only way to pass through the yamen of the major ministries and courtyards in the imperial city, a huge stone tablet is erected in front of the door, which is engraved with 8 big characters: "Officials and people, get off the horse here", and there is a forbidden army standing guard.

When the civil and military officials go to the pilgrimage to face the saint, they enter from the left and right gates of Chang'an respectively, walk into the Chang'an Gate, pass through the Heavenly Street, go on the Jinshui Bridge, enter the Chengtian Gate, and then enter the noon gate and go to the Taihe Hall to go to the court.

From a distance, Zhao Xin saw the forbidden soldiers on duty surrounding the Dengwen Drum Pavilion inside, and a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a seven-rank official robe was chatting with a hundred households of Jinyi Wei outside the pavilion.

During the time of Ming Taizu, the people could beat the Dengwen drum unhindered, but now it is different from the past, it is not so simple to beat the Dengwen drum, and the officials on duty do not want anyone to disturb the holy car.

Zhao Xin couldn't help but slow down, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she knew very well that as long as she broke into the Dengwen Drum Pavilion with the form, then there would be no room for maneuver.

Although Zhao Xin's appearance attracted the attention of the forbidden soldiers on duty in the Dengwen Drum Pavilion, and they talked about her in private, and some even showed an ambiguous smile, no one realized that Zhao Xin would come to beat the Dengwen Drum.

"This son, you can see clearly, this is the pavilion of Dengwengu, are you going the wrong way?" When Zhao Xin walked towards the Dengwen Drum Pavilion with a frosty mask, a forbidden soldier couldn't help but block her way, and reminded with a smile.

"I tried Yayuan in Wuwuke Township, Xianai Lake, and I have a major grievance to report to the emperor." Zhao Xin took a deep breath, took out the written note from his arms, held it in his hands, and said to the soldier with a serious expression.

"A major grievance?" The smile on the face of the forbidden soldier suddenly froze, he never expected that Zhao Xin would come to beat the drum and complain, so his expression was full of surprise.

Then, the soldier came back to his senses, and hurriedly walked over to report to the thin and tall man on duty who was talking and laughing to report to the hundred households who were in the middle of the matter and Jinyiwei, and the two glanced at Zhao Xin suspiciously, and then walked quickly towards her, looking quite surprised.

"Are you going to Beijing to take the exam?" Coming to Zhao Xin's face, the tall and thin man glanced at her up and down in the matter, and asked in surprise.

"Back to my lord, the student is Huguang Wuwu Ke Township Test Yayuan." Zhao Xin bowed to the tall and thin man and raised the shape in his hand quietly.

"Ya Yuan?" The thin and tall man's face became even more surprised, and Huguang's Yayuan had a good chance of being a tribute.

"Now that the Gongyuan has begun to enter, why are you still here?" After the initial stunned, the thin and tall man stared at Zhao Xin quietly and asked.

Zhao Xin raised his head when he heard this, looked at the thin and tall man quietly, and said, "I hope that the adults will be accommodating!" ”

"Just find the three law divisions for this matter, and you don't need to go through the emperor." The thin and tall man's face changed slightly, and then he said to Zhao Xin with an expressionless face, how could he let Zhao Xin alarm Emperor Wanli.

"My lord, once the door of the Gongyuan is closed, then Li Jieyuan will not be able to participate in the examination, and the Ming will try to win talents for the country, if Li Jieyuan cannot participate, then it will be a big loss for my Ming future."

Zhao Xin naturally knew that it was not so simple to beat the Dengwen drum, she had already made all the preparations, and looked at the thin and tall man in an orderly manner and said, "This case is bound to make the world's scholars chill, and then shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Zhao Yayuan, your state of mind can be understood, but the emperor is busy with official business, where can he have the energy to pay attention to this matter?" The thin and tall man groaned for a moment when he heard the words, and looked at Zhao Xin with a frown, "The three laws of the case you said can be governed, don't alarm the emperor." ”

"My lord, although the Three Law Divisions can interrogate Li Jieyuan's case, the process will take a long time, and tomorrow is the day of the exam, and Li Jieyuan will definitely miss the exam.

”

Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, then knelt down on his knees, and said to the tall and thin man in a serious tone, "Li Jieyuan is a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty, and he should not bury his talent because he was framed, otherwise it will inevitably disgrace the Ming Imperial Examination." ”

"Zhao Yayuan, your feelings can be understood by the official, but there are no rules, and the official can't let the case that should have been solved by the three law divisions alarm the emperor in order for Li Jieyuan to catch up with the exam."

The thin and tall man discussed with the brocade-clothed guard Baihu after hearing this, and then said to Zhao Xin with an expressionless face, "Instead of entangled with this official here, it is better to ask the chief officer of the Three Law Divisions, only by proving Li Jieyuan's innocence can he obtain the holy grace for reference." ”

"My lord, the students naturally know this, but in this way, the first test must be over, even if Li Jieyuan washes away the grievances, what is the use, please let the students beat the drum for the sake of the Ming Imperial Examination."

The look on Zhao Xin's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, it seemed that the thin and tall man and the Jinyi Wei Baihu did not want to alarm the Wanli Emperor, after all, this Dengwen drum had not sounded for a long time, and no one wanted to have an accident on his duty.

"Zhao Yayuan, what the official should have said has already been said, you better do it yourself."

The thin and tall man frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Xin in a deep voice, to be honest, he didn't think that Li Hongyu's matter was enough to alarm Emperor Wanli, and it was a big deal to take the next exam.

Moreover, the thin and tall man still doesn't know whether Li Hongyu was framed or not, so how can he easily let Zhao Xin beat the drum, in case Li Hongyu deserves it, then his guilt will be great.

Therefore, the best choice now is to ignore the situation in Zhao Xin's hand, push her to the Three Law Division, and let the people of the Three Law Division have a headache.

"It stands to reason that the official should give you a court rod, but since you are seeking revenge for your fellow villagers, then the official will open the net and take back those boards, you should go and see it elsewhere."

As he spoke, the thin and tall man turned around and said with a straight face, "If you are obsessed, then don't blame the official for being unkind!" ”

"My lord, Li Xie Yuan was indeed wronged, and the students can't watch him miss the exam and lose the opportunity to show his ambitions, and they don't want this matter to become a scandal in the Daming Imperial Examination."

Zhao Xin knew that the thin and tall man had given her an "eviction order" in the matter, so she bit her lip, took out a golden hairpin from her body, put a sharp tip against her neck, and solemnly said to the thin and tall man, "If you can't avenge Li Jieyuan, the student is willing to use his life to guarantee his innocence in the case." ”

"Zhao Yayuan, don't do stupid things, everything is easy to discuss." The thin and tall man was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade, "If you die, then there will be no one to avenge Li Jieyuan." ”

Yayuan, who was tested in Guangxiang, died in front of the Dengwen drum used by Emperor Taizu to redress the grievances of the people, which is really a big joke, and it will definitely cause a sensation in the capital, so the situation is serious and beyond his control.

"My lord, I implore you to let the students go and play the drums, otherwise the students will die here!" Zhao Xin knew that the thin and tall man was scared in the matter, so he struck while the iron was hot, looked at him solemnly and said.

"Zhao Yayuan, why are you doing this?" The thin and tall man suddenly sighed helplessly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, of course he didn't want Zhao Xin to beat the drum, and he didn't want to see Zhao Xin splash blood for five steps in excitement and lose his life in vain.
