After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 49 Is it sentenced to beheading or exile?
"Tian Ran, Miansheng tomorrow, or...you don't go, leave Huaijing City tonight."

Si Mubai said worriedly, he was really worried, now the emperor must know that Jiang Zhao is a woman.

Tomorrow, Jiang Zhao will face the Holy Spirit, what if His Majesty Longyan is furious and wants to execute her?
He was just the son of a wealthy businessman. Although he had some money, he had no status.

As for Jiang Zhao, she is just a disciple from a poor family, and she is still a woman, without even a backer behind her. If she goes to the palace to face the saint tomorrow, there is a high possibility that she will be sentenced.

In his heart, he was unwilling to let Jiang Zhao go.

Jiu Qi also nodded: "Yes, young master, don't go tomorrow, it's too dangerous."

Jiang Zhao also knew that Si Mubai was doing it for her own good, but Mian Sheng wasn't something she wouldn't go if she didn't want to.

She glanced at Wei Xiang, not knowing what Wei Xiang was thinking.

"If the young master wants to go, then go, I will always be with the young master."

Even if it is death, he is willing to accompany him, as long as the young master is happy.

She smiled wryly: "I really can't think about it, but Mian Sheng is something I can't do if I don't want to?"

"If I run away, I am afraid that the crime of killing the Jiuzu will be light on me."

"At that time, you will be implicated."

If she doesn't run away, the emperor may only punish her, but once she runs away, those who are close to her will suffer together.

Si Mubai thought for a while, and then said, "We can go to places that the dynasty can't control."

Jiang Zhao was a little puzzled: "A place beyond the control of the dynasty?"

"for example……?"

Is there any place beyond the control of the dynasty?

"For example... Immortal Dao Sect."

Immortal sect?Jiang Zhao was a little puzzled.

When she traveled to this world, she thought about cultivating immortals, wanting to be like the protagonists in the novels she read in her previous life.

Walk on the road of cultivating immortals, and then drive all the way to the pinnacle of life.

But the reality is crueler than she imagined. Ordinary people are not qualified to cultivate immortals at all, nor are they qualified to come into contact with immortal cultivators.

Those cultivators are like high gods, and they don't care about ordinary people's affairs at all.

If ordinary people have no adventures in their lives, they probably have no chance of cultivating immortals in this life.

But now Si Mubai asked her to take refuge in the Immortal Dao Sect, so she had to be willing to let her go.

"I want to go, but how can I qualify?"

"Even if I go, how can they take me in?"

Jiang Zhao said with a smile.

But who would have thought that Si Mubai nodded affirmatively: "You are qualified to go."

Jiang Zhao smiled, but did not speak.

Having been with Si Mubai for so long, she naturally knows that Si Mubai's identity is not as simple as the son of a wealthy businessman as he said.

His whole-body demeanor cannot be cultivated by a family of merchants.

It's just that she didn't expect that Si Mubai's identity was related to the Immortal Dao Sect, but she didn't know what Si Mubai's real identity was.

But Jiang Zhao doesn't think about these things now, she should think about her own tomorrow.

After waving her hand, she went back to her room.

In the room, Jiang Zhao lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

From the moment she planned to take part in the imperial examination disguised as a man, she had been familiar with the laws of the Tianyu Dynasty so that she would have a way out when her identity as a woman was exposed.

In the Tianyu dynasty, although women's status was low, there was no law that clearly stipulated that women could not participate in the imperial examination.

Everything about tomorrow will depend on the emperor's attitude. If the emperor thinks nothing is wrong, then she is safe.

However, Jiang Zhao knew in her heart that the emperor must have attached great importance to the military merit system. She did not write it completely during the palace examination. If the emperor wanted to implement the military merit system, she would have to enter the court as an official.

After Jiang Zhao walked out of the dining hall, Si Mubai also walked out, looking at Jiang Zhao's closed door, a flash of determination flashed across his expression.

If something happened to Jiang Zhao tomorrow, he would try to rescue Jiang Zhao even if his identity was exposed, or he would not practice at all.

As for Wei Xiang, after eating, he began to practice in the yard, and he wanted to adjust his state to the peak.

If something happened to Jiang Zhao tomorrow, even if he risked his life, he would still protect his young master.

And the people outside were already arguing.

And those gambling stalls have quickly started to gamble on what kind of punishment Jiang Zhao will be punished by the emperor, whether it will be beheaded or exiled.

Of course, there is another option in it, that is, Jiang Zhao will still be the number one scholar in the palace examination and enter the court as an official.

However, the odds of this option have been fired to the odds of one to one hundred.

But no one bought it. After all, this is a stable option.

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for women to take part in the imperial examination and enter the court as an official.

Dressing up as a man is a big taboo.

In the Tianyu dynasty, the status of women was low. Except for the wives and young ladies of those high-ranking officials, the status of women in ordinary families was even worse than that of slaves.

……

Inside the palace.

The emperor in bright yellow uniform stood beside the desk, practicing calligraphy with a pen.

The word "Xiaoxiong" is written on it, and the trend is majestic.

It can be seen from the words that the emperor's ambition is not as weak as he has shown.

At this moment, Wei Chengyun came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the servant who went to release the list has returned and said that he has something important to report."

The hand of the emperor who practiced calligraphy paused slightly. What is the palace attendant who announced the list important to report back?

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Let him in."

Could it be that something went wrong in this year's three-subject examination?
After a while, the palace attendant who announced the list came in, bowed his hands and saluted: "See Your Majesty."

The emperor put down the brush in his hand and asked, "Do you have something important to report?"

The servant bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, this year's champion of the new discipline is..."

"What is it?" asked the emperor, frowning.

The palace attendant replied: "The number one scholar in the new department is...a woman."

The emperor was taken aback, his face was full of disbelief, how could Jiang Zhao be a woman?
He asked solemnly: "Have you seen it with your own eyes, or have conclusive evidence?"

"If you talk nonsense, don't blame me...you will be punished for deceiving the king."

The last sentence, the emperor almost roared out.

He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, Jiang Zhao turned out to be a woman.

The palace attendant bent his waist even more, lowered his head even more, and said: "When the rankings are announced today, there are many merchants who want to capture the new top scholar back and become their son-in-law."

"This is common when the rankings are released, and we didn't step forward to stop it."

"Unexpectedly, when a group of people were arguing, the scarf tied on the head of the new champion was torn off, revealing the identity of the woman."

After hearing what the palace servant said, the emperor frowned. He believed that the palace servant would not aimlessly, let alone commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.
