After Zhao Heng was invited into the Ganlu Hall by the chamberlain, he was wet, he looked at Emperor Jingyuan, who had a very bad face in front of him, and knelt down and said, "Uncle Huang." ”

Emperor Jing Yuan was extremely annoyed and said: "I really owe you in my previous life, you kneel in Zichen Palace!" Stop getting drenched in the rain. ”

Zhao Heng said: "Oh! ”

Emperor Jing Yuan said again: "Soak in a hot bath first, change into the wet clothes on your body and then kneel!" ”

"Whoa."

Emperor Jing Yuan shook his hand and ordered Zhao Heng to retreat with a look of disgust.

Zhao Heng changed his body and knelt in the Zichen Palace, and he was a little dazed.

I didn't sleep well last night, I knelt under the sun for a day, and I didn't eat, and it rained for almost an hour, even the iron body couldn't stop it, Zhao Heng closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he felt only a tingling pain in his knees, and it was already bright outside.

Listening to the ringing of the bell outside, it was already three quarters of the year, and it was going to be early.

Zhao Heng was in terrible pain all over his body, and when he heard a sound of footsteps, he saw Emperor Jingyuan and a group of ministers coming to the palace, and there were King Jin and Sun Ke next to him.

Zhao Heng stared fiercely at King Jin and Sun Ke.

Emperor Jing Yuan said angrily to Zhao Heng: "Go outside and kneel." ”

"Oh."

Zhao Heng was so obedient that he moved outside and knelt.

Zhao Heng knelt outside the Zichen Hall and his stomach hurt with hunger, headache, throat, and knees, and he couldn't tell which one hurt more for a while.

The sky was overcast, and a drizzle fell from the sky.

Zhao Heng looked at the hall, and he didn't know if the imperial uncle could let Lu Wanzhi go after the early court discussed?

……

In the prison of the Criminal Department.

Shen Luo came to the prison early in the morning, and when he saw that Lu Wanzhi had woken up, he said, "Wanzhi! ”

Lu Wanzhi saw that it was Shen Luo's way: "Why did you come here so early in the morning?" ”

Shen Luozhi said to Lu Wanzhi: "Wanzhi, I searched all over Chang'an last night, looking for students who have taken the Chang'an Prefecture Examination in the past three years to write blood letters.

The King of Jin instigated the literati who fell off the list, and he tried to make His Majesty feel that the fairness of the imperial examination could not be blasphemed, let alone a woman dressed as a man.

This time, the literati of Chang'an are willing, and you will definitely be fine. ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "Didn't it rain heavily last night?" I sound like there's thunder, you ......."

Lu Wanzhi actually didn't sleep much at night, she was worried that Zhao Heng would kneel outside the palace in the rain all night, she looked down and saw that Shen Luozhi's shoes were still wet at this time.

"Your shoes are still wet?"

Shen Luo said: "It's okay, I want to enter the palace to present this petition to Your Majesty, and ask you to help me introduce someone who can take me into the palace." ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "I'll help you write a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince, Luo Zhi, I can't repay your great kindness this time." ”

Shen Luozhi smiled at Lu Wanzhi and said, "I never thought about your repayment, as long as you are well." ”

Lu Wanzhi was uneasy after Shen Luozhi left, she thought about the heavy rain last night, Zhao Heng's little fool wouldn't really kneel in the rain all night, right?

……

Shen Luozhi went to the East Palace and presented the letter from Lu Wanzhi to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince said to Shen Luo: "Lone let people take you to the Zichen Palace." ”

Shen Luozhi arrived at the door of Zichen Hall and saw Zhao Heng kneeling in the drizzle.

An autumn rain and a cold, the continuous drizzle at this time is almost catching up with the cold of late autumn.

Shen Luozhi saw Zhao Heng kneeling on the ground, stepped forward and said, "Little County King, why are you kneeling here?" ”

Zhao Heng raised his eyes and looked at Shen Luozhi: "Of course, it's to save Zhizhi, when Uncle Huang releases Zhizhi, I will get up whenever I want." ”

Shen Luozhi saw Zhao Heng in front of him, shook his head and said, "Zhao Heng, you are still so naïve and willful, can you ask yourself if you are really worthy of Wanzhi?" What's the use of you kneeling so willfully? can't save Lu Wanzhi at all! ”

Zhao Heng said: "It's always more useful than you." ”

Shen Luozhi said: "I have a way to save Wanzhi." ”

Zhao Heng frowned and looked at Shen Luodao: "What can you do?" ”

Shen Luozhi said to Zhao Heng: "I gambled with you last time, you don't want to gamble, let's have another gambling contract now, if we can keep Wanzhi safe, you must not entangle Wanzhi anymore." ”

Zhao Heng said: "Who wants to make this bet with you?" ”

Shen Luozhi said: "Zhao Heng, you can't protect Wanzhi at all, just like now that Wanzhi is in trouble, you have no other way than kneeling down and crying like a child?" You are not worthy of marrying Lu Wanzhi at all. ”

Zhao Heng was silent, Shen Luozhi was right, now he is really incompetent, as the king of the royal family, he can't save Lu Wanzhi.

Inside the Zichen Palace.

Emperor Jing Yuan was thinking about how not to hurt those candidates, and no one dared to let Lu Wanzhi go again, when he heard the inner servant come to report to the prince of Zhenguo to ask for a meeting.

Emperor Jingyuan said: "Xuan." ”

When Shen Luozhi entered, he knelt down in front of Emperor Jing Yuan, and presented a letter of willingness: "Your Majesty, this is the petition of more than 300 candidates for the spring and autumn examinations in the past three years, and let go of Lu Wanzhi's blood letter.

Your Majesty, the reason why Lu Wanzhi let Xie Jin dress up as a man is understandable, all because women cannot participate in the scientific examination.

Xie Jin's daughter can be ranked in the top three, which shows that her daughter's family is not weaker than men.

If His Majesty disposes of Xie Jin and Lu Wanzhi, it will only make people think that I can't even tolerate a little woman as a candidate for the Dasheng Imperial Examination.

It was because the literati of Chang'an were willing to compete with female candidates, not the difference between men and women, that they took the lives of talented women. ”

King Jin said on the side: "Shen Shizi, Lu Wanzhi has committed the crime of bullying the king!" ”

Shen Luozhi said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, although it is a crime of deception, it is also the helplessness of women, how many talented women in this world are trapped in the back house.

Your Majesty is the Majesty of the men of the world, and the Majesty of the girls of the world, I hope that Your Majesty will forgive Lu Wanzhi and Xie Jin for the sake of the petition and the fact that women dressed as men can conduct scientific examinations! ”

Emperor Jing Yuan was thinking of forgiving Lu Wanzhi's innocence, and Shen Luozhi handed over this step.

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "Shen Shizi is young, what he said is very reasonable, how can the Dasheng Imperial Examination not even tolerate a little woman, read that Lu Wanzhi and Xie Jin are not bad, forgive them for their innocence, but if they commit it again, I will definitely not forgive it." ”

Shen Luozhi breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed again and again in thanks.

King Jin and Sun Ke clasped hands, Sun Ke couldn't believe that he could still be escaped by Lu Wanzhi this time?

Emperor Jingyuan was worried about the queen's condition, so he asked everyone to retreat, and went to the Manna Palace.

Shen Luozhi walked up to Zhao Heng and said to Zhao Heng: "Get up, Your Majesty has promised to release Lu Wanzhi." ”

Zhao Heng couldn't believe it, "Really? ”

Shen Luozhi looked at Zhao Heng and said, "How dare I talk nonsense about this?" Zhao Heng, you give up Lu Wanzhi, you can also see that when Lu Wanzhi is in trouble, you can't protect her at all. ”

Zhao Heng endured the knee pain and stood up and said, "Then can you protect her again?" The day before yesterday, everyone went to the Lu family to propose marriage, but you didn't, you couldn't even protect Lu Wanzhi at home! ”

Shen Luozhi said: "I have already told my grandfather that I am willing to give up the position of the son of the world, and I will marry Lu Wanzhi as my wife, as for my mother, I will never let her bully Lu Wanzhi in the slightest, I can protect Wanzhi!" ”

When Zhao Heng heard this, he felt that his headache was getting worse and worse, he staggered two steps, and fell dizzily into Shen Luozhi's arms......
