"How is this possible?" While some are skeptical, most are not convinced.

At this time, someone walked in and shouted with amazement on his face: "Oh my God, I can't believe that Du Jinning is actually a woman." ”

"Why is that again? Where did you hear that? Those colleagues who didn't believe it scoffed, "Don't spread rumors, everyone will follow the clouds." ”

"The official Qi Shangshu said." The man didn't notice the expression of his colleague at all, and his face was still full of surprise at the news, "Qi Shangshu just came out of the palace, and his face was full of disbelief. ”

As soon as I heard that it was from Qi Bokun, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and began to believe that this was the truth.

Who doesn't know that Qi Bokun is the number one celebrity in front of Zhao Yu? If there is any news in the palace, the first one to know must be Qi Bokun.

Moreover, Qi Bokun has a calm temperament and a tight mouth, and he will never talk nonsense, let alone joke with everyone about this news.

If this is really said by Qi Bokun, then nine times out of ten it is true.

"Did you listen to Qi Shangshu with your own ears, or did you listen to someone else?" The old and solemn official asked.

"I was running errands at the ministry just now, Qi Shangshu walked in, someone saw that his face was wrong, and his expression was like a dream, and he asked him with concern, and he said such news." That's humane.

"This ...... It's incredible. Someone sighed in a trance.

"yes, yes." Everyone also had a dreaming expression.

"Do you remember? Du Jinning was the champion of the previous session, and he was still six yuan and the first. Someone else sighed.

There was silence in the room.

Everyone remembered.

But what's not it? Du Jinning not only studied, but also participated in the imperial examination, all the way up, six yuan and first, only fifteen years old became the new champion of the first year of Hongqing.

"She is a woman, how can she participate in the imperial examination?" Someone muttered.

Someone immediately retorted: "How could it not be? The body search was not strict. And don't forget, she is six yuan and first, this kind of talent can't cheat, and she is much more lenient when she searches. ”

Everyone was admitted all the way, and they know too well what the imperial examination is all about.

If you rely on cheating, it is possible to take a show of talent and be lucky to take a test, but the results will definitely not be too good. If you want to sing all the way to the first place, it is absolutely impossible.

The court's punishment for cheating in the imperial examination was too severe, and the examiners, officials, and soldiers were not vegetarians. The most important thing is, who can write the world's number one article for you? Why don't you take the test yourself and write it out for you to cheat?

"Then she's too good. This is simply the most strange woman in the world. Someone sighed.

To be able to take the top prize at the age of fifteen, there have not been many men, let alone women, for hundreds of years. What's more, he is still the first person with six yuan and the first, and he is the only one.

"It's not just about the top score. If you look at the people, it only took more than a year to make high-yield rice, and I heard that the 'economic reform' in the south was also proposed by her to the emperor. Let's look at the people in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households...... Alas, people are really infuriating compared to people. ”

Everyone was also very emotional.

They are from the Criminal Department, and they have no business dealings with Du Jinning, and they like to speak with facts because of their profession, so these words are very objective.

"Du Jinning is like this, is he guilty of defrauding the king?" Someone asked, "What is the emperor's attitude in this matter?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on the man who had heard Qi Bokun's words with their own ears.

"Lord Qi said that Du Jinning has a Danshu iron coupon in her hand, and she has also made some contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, so the Danshu iron coupon is withdrawn to offset her capital crime." The official surnamed Liu said.

Everyone suddenly remembered that before Du Jinning disappeared, in order to commend the high-yield rice she had researched, the emperor had rewarded Du Jinning with a Danshu iron coupon.

"This is also ...... What a coincidence, right? ”

These officials of the Criminal Department tried the case every day, and they could see the suspicious points at a glance.

"When you discussed this matter in the court, Lord Ruan, you were also there, right? Do you think this was deliberately planned by Du Jinning? Another official unceremoniously scolded his colleague.

In each ministry, there are many officials of the five grades, and everyone is qualified to go to court. That day, when the court was discussing what reward to give Du Jinning, everyone was also present.

To say that it is Du Jinning's conspiracy to get the Danshu iron coupon, where can these officials put their IQ? Everybody is stupid, and the reputation of being fooled is good?

Therefore, not to mention that they don't admit it in their mouths, they subconsciously and directly deny this idea in their minds.

It is not so much that Du Jinning deliberately planned it, but because she held the Danshu iron coupon in her hand, she dared to boldly admit that she was a woman. Otherwise, she will resist the decree and refuse to give marriage, and the emperor will not do anything to her. The problem of high-yield rice has to be solved by her. ”

"Yes, yes, absolutely." Everyone thinks this is the truth, after all, it makes so much sense.

When it comes to high-yielding rice, then the problem arises.

"Since Du Jinning is a woman, she naturally can't be an official. What about this high-yielding rice? ”

"What to do? Let her continue her research. This is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, even if she is no longer a court official, the emperor will not allow her to refuse. ”

"But in this case, let the faces of those old guys in the Ministry of Industry go somewhere."

The room was quiet again, and everyone laughed.

Sometimes in order to grab resources, the relationship between the six departments is not so friendly, and it is common for each to dig holes for each other. Seeing the other party deflated, he was naturally very happy.

"If you want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass, no one is happy, right? I heard that Du Jinning stayed in the field day and night for this high-yield rice. It was okay before, and if you do a good job, you can be promoted. But now ......," the speaker shook his head.

Although you can reward money. But how much can the court reward money? A hundred taels of gold and some silk and silk, gold and silver porcelain are already the highest rewards, and gold and silver porcelain cannot be bought or sold or given away because they are gifts.

Besides, what's the use of having money? Without the right to protect, the more money you have, the easier it is to be calculated.

"She's the same age as my daughter, and she hasn't found her in-laws yet. Just let the family stay in the field with their backs to the loess facing the sky, alas......" sighed an official who loved his daughter.

Only then did everyone remember that Du Jinning was a woman, and she was still a little girl. It seems really bad for the court to call people in vain.

"The emperor should have considered these, right?"

"Maybe."

At this time, other yamen were also discussing this matter. What everyone said was much the same as that of the officials of the Criminal Department, except for the Ministry of Industry.
