Zhao Jin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Xing's resignation from a woman and pretending to be a man and entering the court as an official is really a great disapproval of the world. After a pause, he looked at Meng Xingci: "Master Meng, I remember that when you took the imperial examination, you always answered the criminal law well, can you tell me how to sentence the crime you committed?" ”

Meng Xingci arched his hand and said solemnly: "If you go back to the emperor, the crime of defrauding the king committed by the criminal minister is really a capital crime. After a pause, she kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the crimes committed by the criminal ministers are all bold and have nothing to do with the family of the criminal minister. ”

Doctor Yu Shi sneered and said, "Those people who have been punished by the Nine Clans all think so! ”

Meng Xingci looked at Zhao Jin earnestly and said, "Your Majesty, the grandfather of the guilty minister is very old, and he doesn't know about it, otherwise with my grandfather's heart, he will not allow me to make such a big mistake." After a pause, she followed and said: "Your Majesty, my grandfather has been for the country all his life, and my mother is old and weak, so I ask the emperor to open up on the Internet." ”

"Your Majesty, the law is merciless, and this precedent must not be set." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department couldn't help but speak.

Zhao Jin glanced at him, "According to Aiqing's opinion, do you want to destroy the Meng family?" ”

The ministers looked at each other, but none of them dared to say yes.

Zhao Jin retracted his gaze, and he glanced at Meng Xingci: "Meng Xingci, you are bold, you disguise yourself as a man, and you really let you avoid the imperial examination, how did you do it?" ”

Meng Xingci lowered his head and said calmly: "Back to the emperor's words, the criminal minister has been smart since he was a child, and he has the name of a prodigy in Yunzhou. At the time of the examination, the offender was still young, and the examiner did not find any abnormality in the offender. The sinner boy won the first place and was already famous. Later, when the talent was tested again, the age of the criminal was ...... It's not big, plus as we all know, the guilty minister is the eldest grandson of the Meng family, and he is the first, and no one dares to offend. ”

Song Nian in the crowd listened, and his heart was mixed. This person who ended the imperial examination at a young age feels a little annoying no matter how he looks at it.

Meng Xingci has been smart since she was a child, and she is the eldest grandson of the Meng family, and the whole Yunzhou is looking at her. She has been known as a prodigy since she was a child, and she has been taught by Meng Shoufu personally, she can be said to be the face of Yunzhou.

In Yunzhou, the Meng family is the largest family, and the eldest grandson of the Meng family comes to take the exam, who dares to check it so carefully? Scholars have always been the most decent, who wants to die, dare to offend the heir of the most powerful family in Yunzhou?

Meng Xingci relied on this discussion to get the exam, and later came to Beijing, everyone knew that she was Meng Qingyan's eldest grandson. At that time, Meng Xingci was still the most popular candidate for the champion, and there was no need for her to cheat. Who doesn't want to make a good relationship for the future champion?

At that time, when the inspection was carried out, if the person who inspected it was excessive, Meng Xingci looked at people with a cold face. She is full of momentum, and the people below naturally dare not mess around.

Meng Xingci continued: "Later, when the person was examined, the criminal minister was fourteen years old and had already grown up. But the criminal minister had already connected the three yuan at that time, and it was a well-known small three yuan in Yunzhou. He did not strip his clothes and check, but the sinner tied his chest with strips of cloth, so that no one found him. After a pause, she kowtowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, the criminal ministers used the reputation of the Meng family to intimidate the inspectors, and they have nothing to do with it, please ask the emperor to open up and not implicate the innocent." ”

This is where Meng Xingci has always been scruples, once her female dress as a man is exposed, a large number of people will be implicated.

She couldn't bear to implicate so many innocent people because of her own fault.

Zhao Jin sneered, and said mockingly: "You know that you are a criminal, but there are so many people who want to open the net." ”

Meng Xingci lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The sinner knows that he deserves death, but ...... The emperor is merciful ......"

"I've been coaxed by you for a long time, and I don't want to hear you say this." Zhao Jin interrupted her words, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Meng Xingci, you disguised yourself as a man and entered the imperial examination, this move is unprecedented, isn't it the Meng family that gave you confidence?" Does it make you think that even if the East Window incident happens, it will be fine, and I won't blame you? ”

Meng Xingci kowtowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "If you go back to the emperor, the criminal minister doesn't dare to think so. The criminal minister disguised herself as a man, and at the beginning, it was indeed forced by the situation, in order to support the lintel of the Meng family's room. After a pause, she said, "As for the ...... later"

Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows: "What?" Later, the Meng family didn't need you to prop up the lintel? ”

Meng Xingci smiled shyly, she was originally reduced from a champion to a tanhualang because she was too good-looking. In the past, when she was a man, she was handsome and elegant, but now she is dressed in women's clothes, but she is bright and beautiful.

Zhao Jin was stunned, he knew that Meng Xingci was a woman, but in his heart he still regarded her as the minister he had high hopes for.

Meng Xingci pursed the corners of her lips, and she said: "Later, it was also used later, but later the criminal was willing to disguise himself as a man." After a pause, she said softly: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister was enlightened at the age of three, and he was awarded the middle flower at the age of eighteen. Indeed, sinners may be wiser than many. But the criminal minister, who has studied hard every day for fifteen years, has not dared to slack off for a day. After reading books for many years, I thought that if I could do something for the Great Revelation, I would be able to live up to my years of hard study. ”

Someone on the side muttered: "I have a lot of talents, why do you need a woman to do something for Daqi?" ”

Ye Xun looked at him coldly and said, "You, the only person of the Great Apocalypse, can solve the disarmament of Yanhuiguan?" Or can it solve the problem of Hedong Shi clan to become bigger? Or can you go and relieve the siege of Jiangbei? ”

The man choked, lowered his head, and joked, he couldn't do any of these things.

Meng Xingci glanced at Ye Xun funny, it was very strange, today was the day she was judged, but she didn't feel nervous, but there was a sense of relief.

Meng Xingci continued: "Later, thanks to the emperor's refusal to abandon him, he let the guilty minister be released as an official. The criminal minister went to Yanhuiguan and saw those veterans who had dedicated their lives to the country. They fought for their country, and some never returned. Some mothers have lost their sons; There are women who have lost their husbands; There are also children who have lost their fathers, but the court has not settled them well. ”

Zhao Jin's face changed, "Are you accusing me?" ”

"The sinners don't dare." Meng Xingci said loudly: "The emperor has the emperor's difficulties, the guilty ministers dare not blame the emperor, and those veterans do not dare to blame the emperor." That's why the criminals racked their brains to find a way out for them, and the criminals were fortunate enough to live up to their lives, and they were finally able to settle them well, so that they had no worries. After a pause, she showed a light smile: "At that time, the criminal minister was even happier than when he was in high school. ”
