Zhao Zhen looked at the little woman in front of him in surprise. The crime of hitting the emperor's lord was very serious, but if there was an injustice, it would be different. The emperors of the Song Dynasty generally accepted the injustice. However, since he ascended the throne, Zhao Zhen had never seen the case of suing the emperor. This time he was also very curious, especially the person who sued the emperor was still a woman.

The guards around him showed more or less mercy when they saw Yang Xiu, the woman who collided with the emperor. After all, women are weak, let alone Yang Xiu looks pretty good, and I feel sorry for her miserable appearance, which makes people unable to help but attack her.

What kind of person will sue the emperor? Only those who are desperate and have no way out, and are indeed injustice and cannot be wronged. Otherwise, once the truth is found out, wouldn’t it be a dead end?

Therefore, Zhao Zhen felt that without a huge grievance, this little woman would never take this path, and subjectively Zhao Zhen sympathized with her. After all, women were born weak, let alone in feudal society.

Because of the young woman's collision, Zhao Zhen simply stopped leaving, and the onlookers squeezed the road through the crowd. China has not changed for thousands of years, so it is to watch the excitement. The bigger the better, the more shocking it is.

The yamen runners of Peking Prefecture have already begun to be alert on the outermost periphery. Because of the vastness of Beijing, the yamen runners in Beijing are also equipped with military horses, which is similar to the later generations of mount police. There is no way for the Song Dynasty to be short of war horses now...

Because it was a lawsuit against the emperor, everyone's curiosity was attracted by the case, and even Zhao Zhen, they were curious about what the woman in front of them was. You should know that in this era, women rarely appeared in public and sued, mostly hired middle-aged people or litigants to sue, and women should not come to court.

Just for the courage of this little woman, Zhao Zhen wanted to shout ok, with a warm smile on his face for fear of scaring her: "It is a serious crime to collide with the emperor, but since you sued, you will have grievances. I am the king and father of the Song Dynasty, so I will naturally make the decision for you and tell the grievances."

Yang Xiu's originally desperate and numb expression became vivid. After the big service, he said: "I heard from the official and the daughter of the private girl Yang Xiu, the daughter of the Shen family, Shenglong businessman, sued her parents-in-law to drown my son's life!"

Hum... Yang Xiu's words made the onlookers furious. This matter was really difficult and difficult to deal with. Even Zhao Zhen frowned and thought.

"Have you been to the Department of Examination?"

"The civilian woman took it and sent the civilian woman to the government office. The government office did not accept the case, and the civilian woman was expelled."

Sancai on the side whispered: "The official family, Liu Yu, the governor of Peking Prefecture, asked for a meeting, probably because of this case..."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Let him come here, I want to see why such a simple case is not accepted? Even if the parents-in-law are the boss, Yang's lawsuit is suspected of being rebellious, and he cannot ignore the fact that he drowned a baby!"

Sancai coughed and said with a embarrassed expression: "I heard that it was because I didn't take the exam in May..."

"I won't take it for Mayday?" Zhao Zhen was stunned. Of course, he knew this feudal tradition, who was familiar with history books, but he thought it was too incredible and did not take it seriously. How could parents in the world kill their children?

But what he didn't expect was that it was really right in front of him. Is the little woman Yang Xiu's arms her dead baby in her arms? Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment. In later generations, he often heard people say: Feudal superstition is not enough, and feudal superstition harms others and oneself.

He never believed it. After all, a fool knows that he can't do things. Who would do it normally? But today he opened his eyes. Sure enough, someone lost his mind and committed such a horrifying tragedy.

But Yang Xiu sued her parents-in-law for rebelling against unfilial piety. Besides, her parents-in-law did such a ridiculous thing for the sake of Yang Xiu and her husband, and it was not subjective intention. In this era of human nature, officials naturally would not be punished.

No wonder the Criminal Department and the Peking Prefecture are unwilling to hear the case. No wonder Yang Xiu came to sue the emperor at the risk of his life. It is really difficult to deal with!

Zhao Zhen felt a little overwhelmed for a moment, and looked at the pitiful Yang Xiu on the ground and said, "Surrendering her in-laws is a disobedient and unfilial act. The case emperor Song Lu, whether he is guilty or not, he will be a 20-year-old stick. Have you thought about it?"

Yang Xiu's eyes lit up and he kowtowed happily: "The civilian woman is willing!" She knew that what the official said meant was to take this situation, otherwise there would be no such thing as twenty spine sticks.

Liu Yu stood on the side of Zhao Zhen and whispered to tell the whole story clearly. The little woman Yang Xiu in front of him made Zhao Zhen inevitably think of his daughter. If Ling'er encountered this, he would be furious and would probably tear the confused parents-in-law to pieces, right?

When Zhao Zhen heard Liu Yu say, "This woman is extraordinary and has a great heart of kindness and love. Although the chance of winning this time is not great, she is willing to be a mistake for future generations." When Zhao Zhen heard Liu Yu say that this woman is not simple, she even admires Yang Xiu's courage and perseverance.

Before the execution was over, Sancai kept gestured to Zhao Zhen, with a clear idea of ​​whether to make the woman faint before the spine stick. Zhao Zhen chose to ignore it. Liu Yu sneered disdainfully, which made Zhao Zhen smile bitterly and shake his head. At this time, knocking Yang Xiu unconscious would only make things more troublesome.

The imperial road outside Guangyu Pan was surrounded and the water was scattered. The yamen runners in Peking Mansion had to work hard to maintain order. At the same time, the news flew away like wings, and even Wang Yuyan, who was in the forbidden area, had already known it.

Wang Yuyan is the Empress of the Central Palace, the mother of the Song Dynasty, and the existence of the mother etiquette in the world, so she naturally has to pay great attention to this kind of thing. Ling'er, the little girl, was also moved by Yang Xiu's behavior and secretly followed the queen's Feng Jia all the way outside Guangyu Pan.

When Wang Yuyan's phoenix driver arrived, the sound of thunder and thunder drowned out the voices of Zhao Zhen and Liu Yu. Sancai trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is here..."

"My grass...why is she here?!"

Zhao Zhen did not want Wang Yuyan to appear, because her appearance would inevitably make people feel that the queen sympathized with Yang Xiu, and the punishment was not fair enough. Zhao Zhen was just trying to promote the construction of the rule of law over human feelings in the Song Dynasty through this matter, and also hoped to break feudal superstitions and bad habits at this time.

These two things seem to be small, but they have extraordinary significance for the Song Dynasty, no less than launching a war, and Wang Yuyan's arrival caught Zhao Zhen off guard...

In the eyes of the people, it is necessary for the emperor and the empress to jointly hear the case, and it will definitely not disappoint everyone.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, but unexpectedly, the arrival of the queen Wang Yuyan pushed the image of the Tian family among the people to another level, and some people were already excited to cry...

"The queen is too sudden, I'm caught off guard!"

"Isn't Your Majesty even happier with such a result?"

“Yes…”
