Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 428 Read in unison
The gentlemen looked intently, but hesitated whether to speak.

"Why, gentlemen, are you going to go back on your word, or admit defeat?"

The men's team discussed with each other. At this time, Fan Zhengyang stood up and said: "Since I have agreed, I will not break my promise. I will be the leader of the reading."

The students saw that he took the lead in setting an example, and thought that since women's right to discuss affairs had been recognized, there was really no need to hesitate.In addition, Fan Zhengyang, who the masters are very optimistic about, is willing to be the leader of the study, so they have nothing to be afraid of.

"I will never regret it, Brother Fan, let's start."

Fan Zhengyang nodded slightly, and read aloud to Chang Zhilang: "The world is divided into yin and yang."

"The world is divided into yin and yang, and women occupy one side. They are all for the family and the country. How can we talk about gender left? In ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army for her father and made great achievements in the battlefield. Today, there is an empress dowager listening to politics behind a curtain. Haiyan Heqing can see that women's ability to discuss affairs is no worse than men. Therefore, we all recognize women's right to discuss matters, and I ask the officials to learn from them!"

More than a dozen students recited in unison in the street, their voices were not insignificant, and the people on the city tower and around could hear it clearly.

The common people were shocked by it, but the officials were silent about it. The men's team lost in this competition is not unfair!

After the men's team finished the recitation, the results came out.

Although the men's team did not lose in terms of the rules of the game, Wen Shu's "sub-answer" forced them to recognize the women's right to discuss matters, and they also asked the officials to agree to this matter in their own name.

From a strategic point of view, who is superior and who is inferior can be discerned at a glance.

Therefore, the official Zhao Duan naturally followed suit and recognized women's right to discuss matters.

As soon as this order was promulgated, all the women on the street cheered!
For the first time, women's right to discuss matters can be clearly stated. What a joyful thing this is.

Women's right to discuss matters has been established, so this vote will naturally count. Dou Shangshu is very worried when he thinks that the number of votes is almost even.

However, the general situation was over, he saw that many women came to the table to signal in this turbulent atmosphere, and he knew that he might lose this time.

Sure enough, when the sun went down, the final signal came out.

"This time, it was stated that "returning home" was better than "heavy sentence" by ten votes. The officials followed the public opinion and listened to the people's opinions. Especially in the case of "Wentai", he will be released and returned home immediately."

Listening to the envoy reading the results, Wen Shu's eyes turned red.

She won, and with her own efforts, she rescued her father.

So... that matter, can she also...
"Sister Wen, congratulations, Uncle Wen is safe." Just as she was thinking, Qin Shan from the audience rushed over to congratulate her.

Only then did Xia Shu realize that Wen Tai was actually Wen Shu's father, and he couldn't help joking: "No wonder you worked so hard, it turns out there is something wrong with you."

Wen Shu came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to everyone, especially Miss Xia, who has made great efforts." As he spoke, he blinked at the other party.

Xia Shu was startled, and immediately said: "Young lady is modest."

At this time, Li Jingzhen and Chu Hong also came to congratulate Wen Shu, and Wen Shu thanked them again and again.

After everyone had dispersed, Wen Shu was about to go to the jail in Kaifeng Mansion to meet her father. At this time, the servant sent a message, saying that the officials wanted to see her and asked her to enter the palace quickly.

The officials wanted to see her, what did the officials do when they saw her?
Could it be that the officials became suspicious when she mentioned the Kingdom of Jin earlier?

After entering the palace, the emperor did not meet her in the main hall where all the officials met, but in a side hall of the harem. Before speaking, he asked the servants to retreat.

After Wen Shu saluted, Zhao Duan asked straight to the point: "How did you know about the Jurchen clan?"

"I saw it in the travel notes."

"Which travel book?"

"I don't remember exactly."

"Little lady, it's better to tell the truth." Zhao Duan's expression was serious, and his tone was a bit sharp.

Wen Shu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply confessed, "The officials are wise, but the common people's daughters are actually dreaming about it."

"Dream?" Zhao Duan frowned.

"The officials think it's ridiculous. It's no wonder that the officials are suspicious. A commoner woman wouldn't believe it, but that's the truth. Please learn from the officials."

Seeing her earnest words and frank expression, Zhao Duan thought for a while and then asked: "What else did you dream about?"

"This." Wen Shu paused for a moment, then said falteringly, "Men girls dare not say that."

Although when she asked that question in the arena, she had already guessed that there might be such a scene.However, when you really face it, you don't know how difficult it is.

The person opposite is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, a person who can easily decide her life or death.

If she can't say it well, the officials will be furious and think that her evil words will harm everyone, then her little life will be over.

But this time is also an excellent opportunity to make a statement. If the truthful report can make the officials vigilant, have doubts about the alliance with Jin, and stop here, it will be a good thing to save the fate of the country and benefit the people.

She doesn't have to worry about it every day and feel guilty.

"You speak boldly."

"The slave family is afraid that they will lose their life after talking about it, unless the officials can absolve the slave family from the crime."

"Okay, I pardon you for not guilty, let's talk."

"That, can you please write it down?"

I don't blame Wen Shu for being cautious. It's hard to guarantee that the Holy Majesty will not "turn his face and be ruthless" after hearing about such a major event.

Perhaps because he was eager to hear the truth, Zhao Duan quickly wrote the word "forgiveness" on the table, but before handing the paper to Wen Shu, he added, "If you dare to lie to me, once you find out , Zhu Lian Nine Clans, you can hear me clearly."

If you said it earlier, I would stop talking too much!
Wen Shu was a little annoyed.

However, the matter has come to this point, and she cannot be allowed to back down, so she can only nod heavily.

Zhao Duan threw the written "imperial decree" to her.

Wen Shu opened it and took a look. Seeing that there was indeed a seal on it, she felt relieved, put it away carefully, and began to state the dream:
"My family dreamed that the tribe called Jurchen established itself as a country, and the country was named "Dajin". In the spring of the 34th year of Tiansheng, he was sent to Bianjing." Wen Shu said while carefully looking at Zhao Duan's expression, only one is not good, Just shut up quickly.

When he heard that he was commanding Bianjing, Zhao Duan's expression was indeed shaken, he seemed to be terrified and puzzled, but he was not furious.

Seeing this, Wen Shu continued: "Bianjing was broken into the city in three days, and the people all went south to flee for their lives. The Jin soldiers chased after them and broke down several cities in a row."

Seeing that Zhao Duan's expression was getting worse and worse, Wen Shu quickly stopped talking.

"And then?" Zhao Duan gasped for a moment, then continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, this is just a dream, it can't be real"

"I want you to continue talking, what happened afterwards? Did the army resist it? Did you take back Bianjing?"

Facing his hopeful eyes, Wen Shu couldn't bear to tell the ending.

However, at this moment, she thinks it's better to say it, after all, the more bleak the final outcome, the more intense the Holy Majesty's unwillingness to form an alliance.

"No, in August of that year, Jin soldiers surrounded our army on Yashan, cutting off food and grass. After I resisted fiercely for a few days, I was unable to recover, and finally in Yashan..."

Thinking of the tragic scene in the dream, Wen Shu's eyes turned red instantly, and he said with hatred: "... cross the sea to die for the country! Soldiers and civilians follow each other!"

When her words fell, Zhao Duan's figure was already a little unsteady, and his face turned pale.

Wen Shu couldn't figure out how the official could lose his composure and act like he was serious.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't one be furious in the face of such "nonsense"?
