It was extremely quiet in the main hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, except for the constant leakage of sound. When it suddenly sounded, it sounded like a thrilling urging.

Zhao Mingyin looked over and saw a mythical beast like a one-horned sheep engraved on the top of the carving. This beast was called "xiezhi". It looked like a divine sheep and lived among grasses. It lived in water and marshes in summer and pines and cypresses in winter.

, if two people fight, it will use its horns against the guilty party, and it has been regarded as a form of justice since ancient times.

just.

Looking at the beast's head, Zhao Mingyin raised an eyebrow slightly.

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

"Qian Zongxian, when I was a child, I read "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and yearned for the Xie Zhi who could tell right from wrong. I even thought that I could get the horns on the head of a Xie Zhi so that my brother, the emperor, could distinguish between loyal and traitor.

Don’t be confused by the world.”

Perhaps it was because she spent several years as a widow only immersed in gold and stone inscriptions in her house, which made Zhao Mingyin speak slowly and slowly. When she talked about Haezhi, she suddenly made people forget about the embarrassment in front of them. Even Qian Zhuo couldn't bear it.

Zhu raised his head slightly, not knowing why she was telling him about her childhood worries.

Zhao Mingyin suddenly changed her tone and asked him:

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

Qian Zhuo was stunned for a moment, wondering why she had such a question.

The sound is still the same as before.

Qian Zhuo knew that these words were unacceptable and froze in place for a moment.

Divine beasts like Haechi are naturally male.

Qian Zhuo was anxious. Princess Yueqing didn't seem to be scolding him. In fact, she was scolding him every time. If these words reached His Majesty's ears, he would be convinced that he was a villain.

Zhuang Changxin's guess was correct. In the morning of the next day, the impeachment of the female officials in Duanji Palace began again.

When the three words "Xueshi Zhao" came into his ears, Zhuang Changxin smiled and already understood what Li Congyuan meant.

As the north wind blows, the city of Yanjing begins to turn into ice.

"How to deal with it?" Li Congyuan repeated these four words, and then shook his head, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate was caught in a shortcoming first. If it continues like this, I'm afraid His Majesty will also take heavy action against the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You

I just wait and see what happens, the most important thing now is to select talents for His Majesty to join the Review Department, and Academician Zhao’s office can move much faster than us."

In addition to the censors in the hall, there were also the female officials of Duanji Palace who came with Zhao Mingyin. Zhao Mingyin looked at them.

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

After listening carefully, Li Congyuan sighed:

"The eldest princess of Yueqing was also very handsome when she was young. She was determined to make progress at the age of three or two. At that time, Emperor Mingzong did not like the late emperor, but he loved his half-sister very much. He even said that if she were a man

Then I will have no worries. When the late emperor came to the throne, he would be more generous to the princess, but..."

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

This time, these censors took a different direction, saying that the eldest princess of Yueqing, Zhao Mingyin, was a fifth-grade bachelor, but when she arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, she dominated others with the power of a princess and was unfit to hold the post of bachelor.

Duanjidian Grand Bachelor is also a Grand Bachelor.

"Because my parents raised me and have high hopes for me."

"Princess……"

"Recognize the door?" The person who asked the question looked puzzled.

The late emperor was overjoyed, but after he named her husband-in-law, he said that he would give her the title of "Elder Princess Protector of the Country", which aroused opposition from the officials. They thought that although Princess Yueqing had merit, she was just a woman after all. His Majesty gave her the title

The reward from her husband's family is enough, and it is really not appropriate to continue to add titles to her.

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

"Sir, if Princess Yueqing behaves like this, she will be criticized by the officials... How should we deal with it?"

Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't delay Li Congyuan's work.

"Because Wei Chen was admitted to the Imperial Examination..."

The skinny Zhou Yushi was stunned for a moment by this strange question, and then quickly replied:

"I'm here."

People praise the achievements of others, but they don't realize that Princess Yueqing did not actually receive any real reward.

The female officers saluted her one after another:

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

During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, all imperial officials and censors had to wear Xie Zhi crowns. How could it be from the mother?

"The ram and the male deer have horns while the ewe and the female deer have no horns*. Since the first born of the Haechi has horns, it must be male."

The Haechi in the Metropolitan Procuratorate may all be male. The birds on the breast patches of civil servants like them are both male and female.

That's right, the winter solstice is coming soon. After going through the complicated steps of worshiping the heavens during the winter solstice in my mind, the following censor finally finished his long story.

"We really did the right thing when we came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today."

"Sir, what's going on inside? There hasn't been any big movement for a long time. Could it be that the princess just chopped him up?"

"Of course it's a place where we run errands." Zhuang Changxin took off his tightly covered cloak and accidentally exposed a corner of his robe sleeve. The person who was talking to him was shocked when he saw the red robe sleeve and realized that the person talking to him was actually

It was a third-grade official, and he quickly bowed and retreated.

The eldest princess of Yueqing, even if she had some ambitions in the past, should have been completely dissipated by her biological brother since childhood.

The eldest princess angrily scolded Qian Zhuo. He naturally wanted to share such a wonderful scene with Li Congyuan.

"Thank you, Bachelor Zhao, for your teaching! I will keep this in mind."

"It is just a legendary old thing. From today on, what we at Duanji Temple have to do is to make people think of the word justice when mentioning it. Women can also do it. There are male Xie Zhi and female Xie Zhi in this world.

Zhi, either, we have to create a new divine object. It is also the embodiment of justice and the gathering of strictness. When people think of it and talk about it, they all know that it is the mother. It is the mother, and it is still the mother.

Standing tall in the official office, people will feel at ease when they see you."

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that women will often come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future? Then, what has become of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

His Majesty seems to be playing a very new game. Although he is still sitting on the throne, anyone can notice that His Majesty has already started "playing".

It's so cold.

"Why are you an official of the imperial court?"

"Zhou Zhenshuo."

Only a few years later, the prince-in-law passed away, and the princess fell silent, as if she was only obsessed with gold and stone and no longer involved in worldly affairs. Li Congyuan was very surprised that His Majesty could invite her to take charge of Duanji Palace this time.

Then, she took a red treasure from her head and placed it right on the corner of the Xie Zhi.

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

Zhuang Changxin chuckled and was as talkative 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 identify the door by the way."

Li Congyuan couldn't understand.

"What method did your Majesty use to invite the princess to come out?"

Li Congyuan paused and said no more.

The cold wind howled.

Zhuang Changxin did not return to the official department. He happened to meet a familiar colleague from Taichang Temple. He put his bowl and chopsticks into the man's hand and went to the imperial city.

"Today, standing here in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you should know what the world is like. Haechi is a male, and the censor is a male. You female officials are the outliers who have braved the world's disapproval. In the eyes of the world

You should not exist, and the civil and military officials in the hall are just waiting to see your jokes. When you enforce the law impartially, even the sacred beasts of Haechi will not protect you. This is your situation. There is no god in the world who can protect you. The only one who can protect you is now.

Your majesty and queen. However, even if you have the protection of the emperor and the empress, you cannot really just live under the protection. Otherwise, even if you really investigate the Taipu Temple and fill the treasury, some time later

Years later, you will also be lost in the history books, because everyone in the world believes that Xie Zhi is a male, and the censor is also a male."

She got up from her seat, raised her feet and walked towards the moment. Her tone was still soft and soft, without any hint of sharpness:

"Most of you are female officials who have been in the palace for a long time. You are old and can think things through when things happen. His Majesty has given you new ways out and jobs. If you are willing to tolerate it, the Queen will personally take care of you and teach you. In fact, it makes you feel that the world

People are all good, and if there is something bad, just be patient and it will pass."

"It's because I am an official of the imperial court, and my Majesty..."

But are these really good things for Princess Yueqing, who has a different temperament from ordinary women?

Li Congyuan secretly shook his head.

The late emperor seemed cowardly and kind, but in fact he was good at political manipulation. His love for his sister seemed thoughtful and appropriate, but he was also heavily caged.

Shen Shiqing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to the censor below speaking conclusively about how domineering the eldest princess of Yueqing was, with no expression on her face.

Zhuang Zhang Xin explained to him in a very good temper: "Now that both the Duchayuan and Duanji Palace are ordered to check the account books of Taipu Temple, it is natural that they will come and go frequently in the future. Naturally, they need to recognize the door and recognize the person."

The late emperor treated the eldest princess of Yueqing very well. Not only did he let the female officials in the palace teach her, but he also chose the Guo family, who had an upright family tradition, as her husband's family. Her consort Guo Yun was also a good one and had a promising future.

At the entrance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in addition to the BMW car brought by Princess Yueqing, there were also various people waiting to watch the show. The clerks from Taichang Temple and the junior guards from Jinyiwei all poked their heads around. I don’t know how many people were behind me.

Waiting for them to bring the news back for dinner.
