After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 126 The big reveal

Because Yingshu had no experience in setting up imperial manuscripts, Rong Qi allowed her to observe the lower shelf first, but in fact there was nothing much to observe. Yingshu had already seen it when she was in the imperial study room, but she just had no experience in dealing with such works. Just set it up.

When the female officials who were not on duty at this time all arrived one after another, Rong Qi looked at Ying Shu: "In order to win the position of female historian, Wang Nv Shi personally promised that if she loses the competition today, she will go to the Criminal Service Department on her own. In this case, can Wang Nv Shi have Any thoughts on change?”

"Once you have made your promise, you will never break your promise."

"Okay." Rong Qi nodded: "Then let's start the first game immediately. In the tray in front of you two, there are sixty leaf cards each, thirty in odd numbers and thirty in even numbers. You draw ten from them. Zhang, if it is an odd number, it corresponds to the imperial memorial. If it is an even number, it corresponds to the sealed memorial. The leaf card is prepared for the middle female instrument. It has also been verified by two supervisors and the female instrument. The quantity is consistent. no difference."

"Yes, I can guarantee it." The middle girl Yi also nodded.

Yingshu quickly drew out ten leaf cards, seven pairs and three odd cards. Zi Shi did not delay, but she had six pairs and four odd cards. There was not much difference. Then the middle girl Yi took out the corresponding cards according to the two people's lot. The shaft cylinders are not handed over to the two people for now, but placed in two rolling cylinders respectively. At this time, the two female supervisors entered the ear room to place the interference book. The door was set up in the ear room, and the rest of the room could not see the placement of the interference book in the ear room.

"Which of you will take the exam first?" Rong Qi asked, looking at Zi Shi.

Zi Shi was not willing to take the exam first. She felt that being a "latecomer" would have more advantages, but in front of everyone, she did not want to live up to Rong Qi's expectations of her, so she had no choice but to raise her hand. Rong Qi nodded with satisfaction and went After flipping through the cylinder where the question scroll was placed, he came over and wrote down a page of words. Then he said to Zishi, "You can go to the category. The category has a time limit of 100 seconds."

One book has ten interest rates, and ten books have exactly one hundred interest rates.

Nvyi has a basic skill, which is step counting. This is of course not used exclusively for timing, because Nvyi sometimes have to serve as a guide before the emperor takes his seat during ceremonies. Their step length and speed are both There are regulations, one breath and one step, neither hurry nor slowness. At this time, as long as the two women are walking around in a ceremonial gait at the same time, and when they stop at a hundred steps, it must be a hundred breaths.

The surveillance girl Yi walked around meticulously. The middle girl Yi took the piece of paper handed to her by Rong Qi and was very surprised: "Why don't you directly report the official seal or number, but the name and place name?"

"To be precise, the imperial memorial reports the names of officials, while the secret memorial reports the names of military regions, states and counties."

"But..." The middle girl Yi glanced at Ying Shu and felt that it was too unfair to report the topic like this.

"For imperial memorials, His Majesty will generally not remember which state or county, or the official title of the person who submitted it, but only who reported it. As for secret memorials, the person who reported them usually sent his subordinates to personally deliver the secret memorials. The memorial is sent to the Ministry of Secretaries, who will number it and report it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will naturally not remember the specific number. When it comes to review and approval, he will only tell you to submit the memorial from a certain military region, a certain state, and a certain county."

Rong Qi responded confidently, not mentioning that she did not tell Ying Shu to remember the names of governors and subordinate officials in each state, nor did she tell Ying Shu the rules on how to number secret memorials.

The middle girl Yi frowned, but when she looked at Yingshu, she was calm and confident, so she didn't say anything more.

In the ear room, Zi Shi also felt a lot of pressure. In fact, it was not difficult for her to complete the installation of the ten axes within a hundred breaths - there were rules for this, even if there was interference now. , maybe it occupies the volume corresponding to the axis cylinder, but the rules do not stipulate that the interference book cannot be removed. Zi Shi only needs to remember the rules for sorting and sort according to the rules. It will be completed within a hundred breaths. .

But because of the time limit, and because she was nervous, she neglected to take advantage of the rules. When she saw that the corresponding grid was occupied, she became even more anxious. She had to spend time memorizing new category points, and was worried about timeout. She was in a hurry, focusing on one thing and not the other. As a result, she made a mistake when sorting. She also realized that she might have made a mistake, and she couldn't find where the question axis had been mistakenly placed.

When Zi Shi came out of the side chamber, the hundred breath time was not yet full, so Rong Qi was still satisfied. He thought that Shi would definitely win this round, and if he won this round, there was no need to continue the competition.

However, Yingshu saw that Zishi's steps were solemn, his head was sweating profusely, and his face was pale...

Oh, the opponent made a mistake.

Sure enough, among the ten questions, Zishi only answered seven correctly and three wrongly.

Rong Qi frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with Zi Shi's results, but until now, she still did not think that Ying Shu would win. Even if Ying Shu learned from His Majesty how to code the secret music, she would not be able to do it in a short time. It takes just a few days to memorize so many corresponding military regions, prefectures and counties, not to mention the names of so many local officials corresponding to their official titles.

How could Rong Qi have thought that Yingshu did not need to be reminded by others, but she would intentionally record the official title and name in all the memorials she had copied. Even though she had not been able to copy all the officials' memorials because of her short career, before entering the palace, She had memorized the genealogy. She did not know exactly who held what official position in the powerful family, but she had a general impression. After entering the palace, she had been paying attention to the personnel changes in the court.

As for the rules for encoding secret melodies, she did ask the regular attendant for advice, but there was no need to ask. After Sikong Beichen passed away, she personally reviewed and approved all the melodies. How could she not know the coding rules? She was a queen mother who had handled important military and political matters. How could she be less familiar with the military regions, prefectures, counties, and local officials of Da Yu than a female historian?

Yingshu got all ten questions right, and her victory was undisputed.

"How could you possibly know the rules for secret numbering?!" Rong Qi couldn't believe it.

"Some things don't need to be taught by the female supervisor, and I know that." Yingshu smiled.

After this round, the middle girl Yi Da realized that this "old colleague" Rong Qi was not as upright as she had thought before. He was clearly bullying Ying Shu because she was young and had little experience in the work. He blatantly made things difficult on the rules and was too biased. , this kind of behavior is really despicable, seeing Rong Qi still questioning it, she said calmly: "I am the referee, Zi Shi had the advantage in this game, but she lost because of nervousness, the result of Princess Shi's victory is unquestionable Doubtful."

Not to mention Zhongnüyi, the rest of the nüyi, and even a few female historians, all noticed the favoritism of Zhongnüshi. They originally approved of Zi Shi, but now they were a little shaken, especially some nüyi, who originally followed Zi Shi. The fight between Shi and Yingshu has nothing to do with their positions, but after all, they both think that the promotion system should be fair, and Rong Qi is openly selfish, which is destroying the promotion system. In the first place, the female history of China does not have the right to appoint and remove personnel, let alone such partiality. , suppressing her subordinates, what qualifications does she have to be promoted to the position of leader?

No matter what everyone thinks, the competition will still go on.

But everyone could see that Zi Shi was extremely nervous at this time.

The second time limit is a quarter. Whoever writes more words within a quarter wins, but the handwriting must be neat and neat, and there must be no typos or omissions. As long as there are typos or omissions, no matter how many words there are, it will be judged as a failure. If both of them have If there are any errors or omissions, the game will be considered a tie. If it is a tie, Ying Shu will be the loser.

Zixu presented the pen, ink, and paper respectively, and the other female examiner Yi also distributed the exact same memorial to the two of them.

Of course, the memorial is not a real memorial, but a "model" that is usually used for practice. The format is the same as the real memorial. The content is excerpted from the palace manuscript. Zhongnuyi went to ask Zhongchang for it in person this morning. Make sure that neither Yingshu nor Zishi has read the content in advance.

Before the competition started, Yingshu suddenly said: "I have a request. If you like it, the pen will be fine. I would like to exchange the inkstone and paper with Zi Shi."

"I don't agree!" Zi Shi almost got angry: "Your request is extremely unreasonable!"

"I suspect that Nv Yixu was instructed by you to tamper with the inkstone and paper. If you didn't pull off such a conspiracy, why would you be afraid of changing it with me?"

"Why do you question me?"

"Just because you once framed me."

"You are such a slanderer!"

"Whoever is spitting blood can prove it by just swapping the inkstone and paper."

Rong Qi strode forward: "Prince Daughter Shi, what is your intention of bringing up the case that His Majesty has already decided at this time? Are you planning to go back on your word now?"

"I agree with Princess Shi's proposal." The middle daughter Yi said: "The stationery of both of them was prepared by Zixu. Even if they were exchanged, it would not affect the competition. On the contrary, I don't understand why the female historian Shi reacted so strongly. Could it be that she was really worried about what she would do to her? Will you definitely lose this game after changing the stationery?"

"I just suspect that she actually bribed Zixu and deliberately forced me to exchange stationery!"

"It's not impossible." Rong Qi said coldly.

The middle girl Yi snorted coldly: "Yesterday, Zixu reported Zi Shi to me, accusing him of bribing her. Today, he tampered with the stationery, and Zixu even handed over the bribes to me."

The middle girl Yi took out the pair of gold hairpins and threw them in front of Zi Shi: "This is a gold hairpin made by the palace. I checked it and it belongs to Mr. Zheng Liang. If you don't tell the truth, I have to report it to Your Majesty. Zi Shi, you Do you really want to confront Zheng Liangren in front of the emperor?"

"The golden hairpin was indeed a gift from Zheng Liang, but I didn't use it to bribe Zixu. Zixu must have stolen it secretly and put the blame on me!"

"Why did Mr. Zheng Liang give you the gold hairpin?" Yingshu asked with a smile.

Zi Shi:......

"Is it because you promised her that you would find a way to frame me?"

"Prince Daughter Shi, you have no basis and evidence, and you framed Zi Shi again!" Rong Qi was furious: "You are not doing it for the competition at all, you are just trying to cause this accident and put Zi Shi to death."

"I don't want to put her to death." Yingshu stood up, not afraid of Rong Qi's stern look: "I don't know what evidence Zhongnvshi has to accuse me. Who defaced the memorial last time? Didn't you just listen to Zi Shi? Is it just a one-sided statement? Your evidence is nothing more than your prejudice against the powerful class. You believe that only unfair things are caused by the powerful bullying others, and there is absolutely no reason for the weak to frame and accuse the strong. Now, do you still think that Zi Shi is a weak person? If she were weak, how could Zheng Liangren not hesitate to give the gold hairpin as a gift? She accepted the gift from Zheng Liangren in private. I wonder if she ever reported it to Zhongnvshi and Zhongchangshi? Did Zhongnvshi forget that the female officials and palace servants of Qianyuan Palace were absolutely You are not allowed to accept gifts from others privately, and Zishi conceals her secrets. Do you still believe that she never lies and always follows the rules?"

Rong Qi was left speechless by the question and stood blankly on the spot.

Yingshu looked at Zi Shi: "If I really want to put you to death, I will report this matter directly to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to punish you severely. However, I don't want to do this, not because I am lenient, but because of you. It’s not that you’re a big traitor, you’re targeting me, spreading rumors to frame me, and you’re not trying to put me to death, you just want to squeeze me out of the Qianyuan Palace, because this person is more cunning and greedy than you.”

Yingshu pointed at someone.

Zixu was shocked.
