The silence in the main hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was very quiet, only the sound was endless, and it suddenly sounded, and there was a thrilling urging.

Zhao Mingyin looked over, and saw that the top of the missing carving was engraved with a divine beast that seemed to be a one-horned sheep, this beast was called "獬豸 (xiezi)", resembling a divine sheep, living in grass, in the summer in the water, in the winter in the pine and cypress, if there are two people fighting, it will use its horns against the guilty party, since ancient times it has been regarded as justice.

Fair.

Looking at the beast head, Zhao Mingyin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Qian Zhuo refused to speak, but she had something to say.

"Qian Zongxian, when I was a child, when I read the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, I longed for a hedgehog that could distinguish straight and straight, and even thought that I could get a horn on the head of a hedgehog, so that my imperial brother could distinguish loyal women from now on and not be confused by the world."

Maybe it's because she was only obsessed with gold and stone inscriptions in the deep house during the few years of widowhood, which made Zhao Mingyin's tone of speech slow and logical, and when she talked about the pig, she suddenly made people forget the embarrassment in front of her, and even Qian Zhuo couldn't help but raise her head slightly, I don't know why she talked to herself about her childhood.

Zhao Mingyin's tone suddenly changed, and he asked:

"Qian Zongxian, do you know whether this pig is male or female?"

Qian was stunned, not knowing why she had such a question.

Divine beasts like hedgehogs are naturally male.

During the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, the imperial captains and imperial historians all wore a hedgehog crown, how could it be a mother?

"The ram stag has horns, but the ewe doe has no horns,* and the hedgehog, since the first born has horns, it is supposed to be a male."

Zhao Mingyin nodded and said with a smile, "I see. The pig is public, the imperial history of the Manchu Dynasty is public, and the scholar should naturally be public, and it can only be public, Qian Zongxian, am I right?"

Qian Zhuo knew that he couldn't accept this, and froze in place for a while.

In addition to the imperial history in the hall, there were also the female officials of the Duanji Hall who came with Zhao Mingyin, and Zhao Mingyin looked at them.

"It's really the right time for us to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today."

She got up from her chair and walked towards the leak, her tone still soft and soft, without a hint of sharpness:

"Most of you are female officials who have been in the palace for a long time, you are old, and you can think about things openly, Your Majesty has given you a new way out and a job, and the queen will personally control you and teach you, but it makes you feel that everyone in this world is good, and if there are some bad things, patience will pass."

Walking up to the leaky moment, she turned around, and the horse-faced skirt on her body was like a red cloud blooming in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Today, standing in this Metropolitan Procuratorate, you should know what this world is really like. The pig is public, the imperial history is public, you female officials, are the odds who defy the world's disapproval, you should not exist in the eyes of the world, and the civil and military will only wait to see your jokes. When you enforce the law impartially, even the beasts will not protect you, this is your situation, there is no god in the world who can protect you, only Your Majesty and the Empress who are planning for you now. However, even if you have the protection of the emperor and the queen, you can't really just live under the protection, otherwise, even if you really check the Taifu Temple and fill the treasury, in a few years, you will disappear into the history books, because everyone in the world thinks that the pig is public, and the imperial history is also public." ….

The female officers saluted her:

"Thank you, Master Zhao, for your teachings."

Qian was in a hurry, the eldest princess of Yueqing didn't seem to scold him, but in fact, she was scolding every word, if this word reached His Majesty's ears, he would be a villain.

"Princess ......"

Zhao Mingyin raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his face, and interrupted him directly:

"At this time, Qian Zongxian still doesn't want to call this official, bachelor."

She was also impatient to talk to Qian Clumsy, and when she raised her hand, she took off the curtain on her body and draped it on the head of the pig.

Then, she took a ruby from her head and distracted it and placed it right on the horn of the hedgehog.

Being "dressed in disguise" like this, the mythical beast that symbolizes justice does not show any fat powder.

The leakage is the same as before.

"It's just a legend

The old thing, from today onwards, what we have to do in our own temple is either to make people think of the word justice when they mention it, and women can also do it, and there are male and female pigs in this world, or we have to create a new divine object, which is also a collection of justice and strictness, and people think of it and talk about it, and they know that it is the mother, it is the mother, and it is still standing in the official office, so that people can see it and feel at ease."

"Thank you, Master Zhao! Remember."

In the voice of a group of women, Qian Zhuo was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't know what to do.

Outside the hall, Zhuang Changxin smiled, picked up the dishes and chopsticks he was eating and quietly left the Metropolitan Courtyard.

At the gate of the Ducha Courtyard, in addition to the BMW incense car brought by the eldest princess of Yueqing, there are all kinds of people waiting to watch the play, the little officials of Taichang Temple, the little fan of Jinyiwei, probing their brains one by one, I don't know how many people behind them are waiting for them to bring the news back to dinner.

It's just that they are not as bold as Zhuang Changxin, and they can go in directly to watch the play.

"My lord, what's going on inside? There was no big movement for a long time, it couldn't be that the princess cut people directly, right? 「

Zhuang Changxin smiled, as good as ever: "The princess is very reasonable, but there are some errors and omissions in the account book sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, she brought someone to ask, and by the way, she recognized the door."

"Confession?" The questioner looked puzzled.

Zhuang Changxin explained to him very good-natured: "Now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Duanji Temple have been ordered to check the account books of the Taifu Temple, it is natural that they will come and go often in the future, and they will naturally recognize the door and people."

"What do you mean, sir, that women will often come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future? So, what has become of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"Naturally, it's a place to run errands." Zhuang Changxin put down the tightly covered big curtain on his body, and accidentally exposed a corner of the robe sleeve, and the person who was talking to him looked at the red robe sleeves and realized that it was a third-grade master who was talking to him, so he hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Zhuang Changxin did not return to the ministry, but happened to meet a colleague of Taichang Temple who was familiar with him, and he put his dishes and chopsticks in the man's hand and went to the imperial city.

The eldest princess angrily scolded Qian Clumsy, he naturally wanted to share such a wonderful scene with Li Congyuan.

When he arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhuang Changxin took advantage of the absence of the other two pavilion elders to tell Li Congyuan about the "liveliness" in the Nadu Courtyard.

After listening carefully, Li Congyuan sighed: ....

"The eldest princess of Yueqing was also heroic when she was young, and she had a tendency to forge ahead at the age of three or two, at that time Mingzong did not like the first emperor, but loved the first emperor's half-sister, and even said that if she was a man, she would be able to have no worries. When the first emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded the princess, but he ......"

Li Congyuan paused and didn't say any more.

The first emperor was very good to the eldest princess of Yueqing, not only let the female officials in the palace teach her, but also chose the Guo family with a clean family style as her mother-in-law, and the concubine Guo Yun is also a dragon and phoenix among the people, and the future is promising.

But are these really good things for Princess Yueqing whose temperament is different from that of ordinary women?

Li Congyuan shook his head secretly.

The first emperor seems to be cowardly and soft, but in fact he is good at power, and he seems to be thoughtful and proper to his sister, but he is also a heavy cage.

Li Congyuan discovered this after the princess made a great contribution to guarding the door, and that time the princess dragged her newly aborted body to protect the imperial city, and even went into battle to kill the enemy under the horse.

The first emperor was overjoyed, but after sealing her husband, he said that he would add her the title of "Protector of the Elder Princess", which caused the opposition of hundreds of officials, who thought that although Princess Yueqing had merits, she was just a woman in the end, and His Majesty had given her husband enough rewards, and she should not continue to be sealed.

In the end, Princess Yueqing obviously had great military achievements, but only her husband was recorded in the history books.

People praised the exploits of others, but they didn't realize that Princess Yueqing didn't actually receive any real rewards.

Only a few years after that, the concubine died, and the princess also fell silent, as if she was only obsessed with gold and stone from now on, and no longer asked about the world, His Majesty was able to invite her out to take charge of the Duanji Palace this time, Li Congyuan was very surprised.

"What method did Your Majesty use to invite the princess out of the mountain?"

Li Cong

Yuan couldn't figure it out.

The eldest princess of Yueqing, even if she had a little ambition in the past, was calculated by her biological brother from a young age, and she should have dissipated at this time.

Although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't delay Li Congyuan from doing things.

He took out a few folds and was about to read them, but he heard Zhuang Changxin leaning down and asking himself in a low voice:

"My lord, Princess Yueqing is like this, she will be attacked by the speaker...... What should we do about it?"

"What to do?" Li Congyuan repeated these four words, and then shook his head, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate was caught by someone for its shortcomings first, if it continues like this, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also have a heavy hand on the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you and I just have to wait and see what happens, the most important thing now is to select talents for Your Majesty to enter the Deliberation Division, and Bachelor Zhao's Office is much faster than ours."

The three words "Bachelor Zhao" entered his ears, and Zhuang Changxin smiled, already understanding what Li Congyuan meant.

Duanjidian University Scholar, also a University Scholar.

The pigs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate may all be male. The birds on the breasts of these civil officials are both male and female.

Zhuang Chang Xin guessed correctly, and on the morning of the second day, the impeachment of the female officials of the Duanji Hall began again.

This time, these imperial historians changed directions, saying that Zhao Mingyin, the eldest princess of Yueqing, was a scholar of Wupin, but when she arrived at the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, she was oppressed by the power of a princess and was unworthy of the position of a scholar.

The cold wind howled.

Shen Shiqing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to the words of the imperial history below and said how the eldest princess of Yueqing was domineering, with no expression on her face.

It's cold.

With this north wind, there is a posture of dripping water into ice in Yanjing City.

That's right, it's the winter solstice soon, and after going through the complicated steps of the winter solstice sacrifice in my mind, the following imperial history finally finished telling my long fold.

"Zhou Zhenshuo."

"The minister is here."

"I ask you, why are you standing in the court here and now to play to me?"

Zhou Yushi, who was thin and thin, was stunned for a moment by this strange question, and then hurriedly replied:

"It's because Weichen is an official of the imperial court and is ...... by His Majesty."

"Why are you an official of the court?"

"Because of the Wechen Imperial Examination Jinshi ......"

His Majesty seems to be playing a very new game, and although he is still sitting on the dragon chair, anyone can perceive that His Majesty has begun to "play".

was repeatedly questioned, Zhou Zhenshuo was almost about to collapse, he didn't know what His Majesty was going to ask, nor did he know what His Majesty asked about what it had to do with his impeachment of the eldest princess Yueqing.

"Because the minister's parents raised the minister, they have high hopes for the minister."

Shen Shiqing's tone was lazy: "Why do your parents have high hopes for you?"

"Cause...... Because the minister is ......."

Zhou Zhenshuo thought and thought, but he didn't know how to answer.

On the dragon chair, Shen Shiqing waited impatiently, the knuckles of her fingers knocked on the armrests of the dragon chair, and she said with a smile:

"Because you're a man."
