Yan Hagi walked out of the back door of Dali Temple, and saw Fu Zhixing, who was wearing an official uniform, standing by the carriage, waiting for her, and walked over with a smile, "No blame." ”

Fu Zhixing helped her into the carriage, "Have you figured out how to do it?" ”

"Think about it, I will go to see the queen first when I enter the palace tomorrow, although I know that the queen mother has more influence on the saint, but if you go over the queen and go directly to the queen mother, the queen will feel uncomfortable." Yan Hagi didn't plan to be a lone hero, besides, he was powerful and could be borrowed, so why not borrow? She's not stupid.

"What else do I need to do?" Fu Zhixing asked.

"When things get up, you are responsible for arranging a few talented people to cooperate with the acting." Yan Hagi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"No problem." Fu Zhixing didn't know Yan Hao's full plan, but he could vaguely guess what she was going to do.

The next day, Yan Hagi handed over the sign and went into the palace to see Empress Li; Empress Li was very happy and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to come to the palace to see me today?" ”

Yan Hagi saluted and said, "Give the mother ......"

"What are you doing with so many gifts?" Empress Li didn't wait for her to finish the ceremony, she got up and dragged her to the couch and sat down, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with you entering the palace?" ”

"Can't it be that I miss you and come to the palace to see you?" Yan Hao asked with a smile.

"Come less, you're very lazy, you won't go out if it's okay." Queen Li pouted, friends for so many years, who still doesn't know anyone.

Yan Hao chuckled, "I came to the palace today to come here for Shi Qing, the second-class heirloom. ”

"You know her?" Empress Li asked.

"I went to see her yesterday." Yan Hagi sighed, "She was born at the wrong time. "If you are born a few hundred years later, with Shi Qing's talent, you can do a lot, it's a pity.

"Yes, it's a pity, why did she dress up as a man to participate in the imperial examination?" Empress Li also sighed.

Yan Hagi told Empress Li about Shi Qing's past, "I can't bear to watch her being forced to death by those sour people jumping up and down, and I want to ask you for help." ”

"How can I help?" Empress Li was originally a very soft-hearted person, and she was friendly with Yan Hao, and she also sympathized with Shi Qing, so she agreed without hesitation.

"The court is full of men, and there is no woman's voice, so we have to let the saint hear the voice of a woman and give full play to the power of public opinion." Yan Hagi said with a smile.

"How?" Empress Li asked.

Yan Hagi told the plan.

"This method is good, let's go and tell the queen mother, if the queen mother doesn't come forward, Your Majesty is afraid that you won't let us mess around like this." Empress Li is very self-aware.

"What is nonsense, we are doing serious business." Yan Hagi pouted.

"Yes, yes, serious, serious." Empress Li smiled and grabbed Yan Hao's arm, and the two went to Fushou Palace.

Empress Dowager Shen is also paying attention to Shi Qing's matter, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Shen's speech, Shi Qing would have been stripped of her merit and questioned and put her in prison, it was Empress Dowager Shen who was protecting her.

As soon as Empress Li and Yan Hagi came to talk about this, Empress Dowager Shen smiled, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, in case you poke out any baskets, I will carry it for you." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Thank you, aunt."

With the support of Empress Dowager Shen and Fu Zhixing's arrangement, there are quietly more teahouses and restaurants everywhere, and there are many topics about whether women can study and whether women can participate in the imperial examination.

This one says: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented." "Women shouldn't study.

Someone retorted: "Reading books is reasonable, but not reasonable, how can you be virtuous?" "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person is not marrying a wife and marrying virtue.

"The imperial examinations have always been for men only."

Someone asked, "Why can't women participate?" "In the imperial examination, there has been no explicit provision that only men can take the examination!

"Historically, only men have participated."

"In the past, there was no imperial examination, only recommendation, but now there is; In the past, no women participated in the imperial examination, but now there are, which proves that the court is open-minded, and even women are willing to serve the court even if they are talented. ”

Under Yan Hao's deliberate guidance, public opinion gradually tilted towards Shi Qing, and everyone felt that Shi Qing disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination, which was not a big mistake.

In the early days of this day, Emperor Tianyou, who had been shelving Shi Qing's matter, asked how to deal with Shi Qing. A civil official of the die-hard faction came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Shi Qing's move has corrupted the dynasty, and His Majesty opened the department to win the office, and Shi Qing should be beheaded for such a big crime of bullying the king." If not, more women will inevitably follow this example in the future, causing chaos in the world. ”

"Isn't Lord Wu too alarmist? If a woman's participation in the imperial examination can cause chaos in the world, what else do we need civil and military officials to do? All the adults in the DPRK and China are full of poetry and books, are they not as good as women? Fu Zhixing asked indifferently.

"Master Fu, there are no rules, there is no circle. Women participate in the imperial examination, that is the chicken Si Chen, and it will be a disaster for the world. Shi Qing had to be beheaded to show the public to prove the law. Lord Wu insisted on executing Shi Qing.

"Has Lord Wu ever read a history book?" Fu Zhixing asked.

"This official was the eye of the example back then." Lord Wu blew his beard and stared, this Fu Zhixing, the dog's eyes looked down on people.

"Lord Wu has read the history books, but he still remembers that King Wen is eager to seek talent, and once said that the good men in the world are not limited to men and women, as long as they are willing to help him, he will treat them with courtesy. How did he come to this dynasty, but he couldn't tolerate a talented woman, how should future generations judge the affairs of this dynasty? Even those ordinary people in the market feel that Shi Qing's crime will not lead to death, which is excusable, but Lord Wu, who has read history books a lot, is stubborn......" Fu Zhixing sneered, "Who is the ignorant person?" ”

"According to the king's opinion, this is not ignorance, but jealousy of meritocracy, jealousy of a woman who is more powerful than a man, so he wants His Majesty to cut her down." King Su said sarcastically.

Those who proposed to execute Shi Qing didn't dare to squeak, Fu Zhixing was not only a "veteran of the two dynasties", he was deeply favored by two generations of emperors, he clearly supported Shi Qing and made these people retreat, and now even King Su is helping him, which indirectly explains the meaning of the saint, the saint does not want to execute Shi Qing.

"Your Majesty, what King Su and Master Fu said is very true, Shi Qing is guilty of pretending to be a man, but she also wants to serve the court, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to be lenient." Yan Tongzhu came out of the line.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Officials came out one after another to express their positions, and the final conclusion was that Shi Qing's death penalty was exempted, and at Fu Zhixing's suggestion, she was assigned to a remote county town in northern Xinjiang to be the county magistrate of Qipin. Stay away from the court and be a parental official, she will not clash with these old stubborns in the court again, and she can show her talent and not be buried.

This ending is a happy ending.

After Shi Qing came out of the prison, she wore a brand-new seven-grade official uniform and went to the Anguo Mansion to thank Yan Hao. An old monk outside the mansion watched her enter, smiled slightly, folded his hands, and recited the Buddha, "In the past and present life, you will set your own number in the dark, and you will end up in the same way." ”
