After the official audience, it should have been passed down.

Chuanlu is a kind of ceremony. It is used in the ceremonial ceremony of the state and the dynasty to announce the new Jinshi. It is called Chuanlu alone.

But this year's situation was special, and the emperor did not summon the top three candidates for the imperial examination immediately.

At this time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ministers from aristocratic families were reporting to the emperor the news they had heard yesterday.

Prime Minister Du Yuan was the first to go out, holding an ivory wat tablet in his hand and loudly said: "Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that today... the number one scholar in the new subject is actually a woman disguised as a man to participate in the imperial examination."

"Throughout the ages, there has been no precedent for a woman to take part in the imperial examination, and Jiang Zhao's disguise as a man is actually deceiving the emperor. I hope your majesty can punish her severely!"

Not to be outdone, the Imperial Academy’s wine minister walked out of the line of civil servants and said.

"I second my opinion. Since ancient times, our Tianyu Dynasty has upheld the principle that women without talent are virtuous."

"A woman should be a knitting girl at home, caring for her husband and raising children, but Jiang Zhao comes out to show his face. It is really offensive to the morals. How unbecoming is this!"

"Moreover, she disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination, which is an insult to the holy place of Gongyuan!"

"I also hope that your majesty can take away his fame and execute him to serve as a warning to women all over the world."

The emperor glanced at the princes and ministers in the palace and said, "Is this what you all mean?"

At this time, no one wanted to stand up and speak for Jiang Zhao.

Only Taifu stood up.

After the identity of the Jiang Zhao woman was exposed that day, the emperor immediately summoned the imperial tutor after talking to the queen mother.

Among the many ministers in the court, only the Taifu supported the military merit system.

The emperor summoned the Taifu because he wanted to see the Taifu's attitude.

Fortunately, the Taifu valued Jiang Zhao very much. Although Jiang Zhao was only a woman, as a woman, she could write a military merit system. The Taifu was even more optimistic about Jiang Zhao's talents.

Moreover, the current Queen Mother is his daughter. When the Queen Mother was fond of the art of war, he not only did not stop her, but also encouraged her.

Only then did the Queen Mother wear armor and go into battle to drive the aliens out of the Tianyu Dynasty.

The Taifu stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although Jiang Zhao is a woman, she is able to write the system of military merit and nobility. She is a great talent."

"The imperial examination is a ceremony for promoting talents. If Jiang Zhao is talented, why should he be stripped of his fame and executed instead of being admitted to the court as an official?"

"What a joke!" As soon as the Taifu finished speaking, the Imperial College offered wine and said, "Since the founding of our Tianyu Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a woman to serve as an official in the court. Women should obey their father at home and their husbands when they get married."

"It is absurd for women to participate in the imperial examination, so how can they be allowed to enter the court and serve as officials? Isn't this tantamount to telling the world that men are inferior to women?"

"Master, is he too old to be mentally confused?"

"Although I am old, my brain is not confused yet. The military merit system is of great benefit to the development of our Tianyu Dynasty and should be vigorously promoted."

The Taifu retorted that he was old, so he didn't mind others saying he was old, but the military meritocracy was indeed beneficial to the Tianyu Dynasty.

"By ordering a woman to serve as an official in the dynasty, she disrespects the ancestral etiquette. If Jiang Zhao is not severely punished, the etiquette and music of our Tianyu dynasty will soon collapse!"

"Master, where does your majesty put our heavenly dynasty?!"

The Imperial Academy offered wine and said in an excited tone, as if he was sincerely doing it for the Tianyu Dynasty and had no selfish motives at all.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair above. Hearing the quarrel among the ministers below, he felt a little headache.

He asked Wei Chengyun to come in and asked Jiang Zhao to come in. He wanted to hear what Jiang Zhao had to say.

"Xuan Jiangzhao comes to see——"

Jiang Zhao, who was still waiting boredly outside the hall, suddenly heard his name, came to his senses, and hurriedly walked in.

Before entering, Si Mubai said to her: "Be careful after entering and don't be impulsive."

Jiang Zhao nodded to him and then walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As soon as you enter, you will see several gorgeous watches held in the luxurious palace, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, which is extremely gorgeous.

As soon as Jiang Zhao came in, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Scrutiny, indifference, disdain, disgust...all eyes were focused together and pressed towards Jiang Zhao.

Facing the pressure coming from all directions, Jiang Zhao remained calm and unhurried. He walked into the center of the hall and bowed gracefully to the emperor who was sitting on the high throne.

"See Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and cast his gaze on her, meeting Jiang Zhao's gaze in the air.

But Jiang Zhao was neither humble nor arrogant, and slowly looked away.

Although this was not the first time he met Jiang Zhao, he could still have such magnanimity under such pressure, which made him couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Get flat."

Jiang Zhao stood up slowly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Taifu stood aside and looked at Jiang Zhao, nodding slightly with satisfaction. He was worthy of being the number one scholar in this year's palace examination. His demeanor and demeanor were not comparable to those of the so-called children of aristocratic families.

As a result, Taifu became more determined to keep Jiang Zhao.

The emperor looked at Jiang Zhao standing below and asked: "Jiang Zhao, you are a woman, but you disguise yourself as a man to participate in the imperial examination. What do you want to say about this?"

Jiang Zhao saluted and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is indeed the student's fault for women to dress up as men."

When the emperor heard what Jiang Zhao said, he was a little curious. Did Jiang Zhao directly admit his guilt?

"But..." She changed the topic: "The students are forced to do this because they have no choice but to disguise themselves as men."

"Oh...then you can tell me how you have no choice but to do so."

The emperor was quite curious as to why she was so helpless.

Jiang Zhao saluted and said: "Before taking part in the imperial examination, the student had read the laws of Tianyu thoroughly. There was no provision in the law that stipulated that women could not take part in the imperial examination, so the student came up with the idea of ​​taking part in the imperial examination."

"But the status of women in the Tianyu Dynasty is too low. If the students don't dress up as men, they might not even be able to enter the gate of Gongyuan."

"The student wanted to contribute his talents to the Tianyu Dynasty, but he had no choice but to disguise himself as a man and take part in the imperial examination."

Before the emperor could say anything, the Imperial College priest said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable. Although our Tianyu dynasty does not clearly stipulate that women cannot participate in the imperial examination."

"But as a woman, you don't abide by the three obediences and the four virtues. You show yourself in public, disguise yourself as a man, and deceive your superiors and deceive others."

"As for you, a woman, what talent do you have? How many good men are there in our Tianyu Dynasty for the sake of our country? By saying this, where do you place your Majesty, all the gentlemen in this hall?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that he should be stripped of his fame and his head should be beheaded in public!"

When he said this, the Taifu couldn't stand: "Your Majesty, Jiang Zhao was able to write the military merit system, which is a great achievement. If not, I will discount the merit and spare Jiang Zhao this time."

It is an indisputable fact that Jiang Zhaonu disguised herself as a man and deceived the emperor, so he could only let her take advantage of the situation.

The Prime Minister cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed unprecedented for a woman to participate in the imperial examination. It not only messes up the ancestral etiquette."

"This also makes other countries think about our Tianyu Dynasty, just like Mr. Zhao said, how those countries will see these ministers of our Tianyu Dynasty, and how they will see His Majesty."

"Those countries will only think that our Tianyu Dynasty is a huge country, but it has no talents available and needs women to join the court to provide advice."

"At that time, I am afraid that other countries will ridicule our Tianyu Dynasty for its incompetence. Even women are taking part in the imperial examination. How can our Tianyu Dynasty raise its head even if it is seen by other countries?"

A bigger hat was put on.
