After Meng Qingyan finished speaking, he said: "I'm a little tired, I understand your heart for Xingci, don't do anything anymore, everything is up to the emperor." ”

He stood up after speaking, but he shook his body and sat back down.

"Old Shousuke!" Ye Xun went to help him.

Meng Qingyan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I'm old, I'm useless, I'm fine, I can do it myself." ”

Meng Qingyan stood up with difficulty, really didn't let anyone help him, and walked out with his hands behind his back. He still stubbornly held his back, this old man who had been upright all his life, unwilling to show his vulnerability. It's just that his shoulders have collapsed, and his shoulders have resisted the changes of the Great Apocalypse, but he can't resist the safety of his granddaughter.

After Meng Qingyan left, the old marquis said: "Don't listen to the old thing, he was like this when he was young, he was very pedantic. The girl of the Meng family is a meritorious hero of the Great Apocalypse, and there is no reason for a meritorious minister to end up like this. You do what you planned, and your grandfather will carry it for you. ”

Ye Xun's expression was awe-inspiring, the old marquis could say such a thing, it was really a heart to love the younger generation.

Ye Xun arched his hand and said, "Thank you, grandfather." ”

A complicated look flashed in the old marquis's eyes, "It's not all for you." It is not easy for women to survive, and how many excellent strange women are buried in the world because of their gender. The girl of the Meng family dared to disguise herself as a man to go to the imperial examination, and she did so many good things for the society and the people, she should not end up like this. What happened to the woman? Women are also better than many men! ”

Ye Xun felt that the old marquis's attitude was a little strange, he seemed to be talking about Meng Xingci, but it didn't seem to be Meng Xingci. It's as if he also has a woman he admires, who is as good and outstanding as Meng Xingci, but he also buried his talent because of gender.

The old marquis patted his sleeve lightly, "Okay, go do your business, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

The old marquis said, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Ye Xun looked thoughtful, and Song Nian came over at this time and said: "I have heard that the old marquis has a junior sister, who is the only daughter of General Huo, the god of war in the previous dynasty. It was this only daughter who came to Shangjing alone and cleared the Huo family. ”

Ye Xun asked puzzledly: "I am my grandfather's own grandson, I don't even know about this, how do you know?" ”

Song Nian's expression was shy, he lowered his voice and said, "Ahem, once the Hou Ye came to my house and drank with my father, he drank too much and said it, and I accidentally heard it." ”

Ye Xun suddenly realized.

Song Nian said: "I heard that Miss Huo is not only strong in martial arts, but also excellent in riding and archery, but also extremely intelligent. She seems to have saved the emperor, it is said that such a woman should not be unrecorded, but now few people have heard of her. Your cousin, Xiao Gongzi's grandfather, was also a famous figure back then, and he still has his story. But this Huo girl, according to Hou Ye's evaluation, is also a stunning and glamorous character, but now few people know about it. The gap between men and women can be seen. ”

Ye Xun didn't speak, Meng Xingci just hoped to break this gap, so she was willing to return to the prison.

The news that Zhao Jin was going to personally try Meng Xingci's case soon spread throughout Shangjing, and the interrogation of the first female official in the world was very concerned.

Ye Xun released several carrier pigeons that day, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and gradually flew away, Ye Xun looked at the carrier pigeon that flew away, and his heart was heavy.

Probably in order to let the ministers have a good year, Zhao Jin set the day of the trial on the twentieth day of the first month, and the New Year was over.

The place of the trial of the case was set at Dali Temple, which was requested by the ministers. Because the ministers hope that the people can witness Meng Xingci's trial with their own eyes, it is best to be beheaded immediately, and it must also be in a large court to have a deterrent effect.

Zhao Jindu agreed with a good temper.

The weather in Shangjing was still cold in January, and the people of the Manchu Dynasty and Shangjing were not repelled by the cold, and still appeared outside the Dali Temple to watch this unprecedented trial.

Zhao Jin's dragon driver was the last to arrive, and the people and officials knelt down and saluted. This was Zhao Jin's first public appearance after that storm.

The people saw their wise and martial emperor, and they still had the same demeanor, which made the people's hearts settle down suddenly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The people shouted long live, Zhao Jin bent the corners of his lips and slowly got out of the car.

Meng Xingci, as a prisoner, is a well-deserved protagonist, but he is one step later than Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin sat on the right seat of Dali Temple, flanked by the six Shangshu and the Dali Temple. On this occasion, Ye Xun has to be behind.

Meng Xingci was sent to Dali Temple in a prisoner car, and she was still wearing the long white dress. This is the first time Meng Xingci has appeared in front of everyone in women's clothes, and everyone was stunned.

At this moment, there is a little sense of reality in everyone's hearts. That amazingly talented, talented, and handsome Tanhualang is really a woman.

More than a month in prison did not diminish her bearing, she calmly got out of the carriage, as elegant as ever, showing a good upbringing.

This is the heir cultivated by the Meng family.

It's a pity, it's an idea that comes to everyone's minds. With such a bearing, such an outstanding, if it is a woman, at least it can ensure the prosperity of the Meng family for a hundred years.

How can she be a woman?

Ye Xun saw Meng Xingci's footsteps move, she was dressed too thinly, and the weather was still cold.

Ye Xun clenched his fists tightly, but he couldn't take a step forward.

"The criminal minister Meng Xingci has seen the emperor." Meng Xing bowed with a calm attitude.

Zhao Jin looked at Meng Xingci with a complicated expression, this was the most important minister he had ever been, and he reserved the position of first assistant for her, hoping to create a good story of the first assistant of the ancestors and grandchildren.

She was so capable, so smart, and she did every errand given to her beautifully. Such a young and intelligent courtier, he once thought that this was a blessing from God, and he was confident that the two would pass on a story of friendship between kings and ministers.

"Bold Meng Xingci, as a woman, how dare you call yourself a 'minister'?" Doctor Yu Shi came out and reprimanded angrily.

Meng Xingci looked at him calmly and said: "My Tanhualang was appointed by the emperor, and the official position was also given by the ministry himself, and now although I am guilty, I am still the emperor's courtier." ”

Ye Xun said lightly: "The emperor has not yet spoken here, but the imperial history can't wait to take the throne, where will the emperor be?" ”

Doctor Yu Shi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare. ”
