Upon hearing this, Xu Yanli could no longer hold back and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, Zhiyu would never do such a thing. Someone must have framed her!"

The Minister of Rites retorted directly: "She is your own granddaughter, so the Grand Tutor will naturally protect her!"

Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but step forward and said, "Father, based on my understanding of Censor Jiang, he would never do such a thing."

"Your Highness, this is wrong..."

For a moment, those who were pleading, refuting, and neutral were all busy doing their own jobs. The imperial study was suddenly very noisy, just like a vegetable market in the early morning.

Jiang Zhiyu, who ignited the whole crowd with one sentence: "..."

[No, brothers, I haven't finished talking yet. Let's listen to it first before arguing.]

[Wow, why are there two people fighting? ]

[It's not that serious, don't fight over me! ]

[No, no, no, don’t stop! ]

emperor:"……"

The emperor secretly glanced at He Yanting, but saw that he was calm and composed, as if he didn't care.

"That's enough!" the emperor slammed the table angrily. "What a noise!"

The ministers fell silent immediately, returned to their original positions, and secretly straightened their heads after the heated argument.

"Go on," the emperor looked at Jiang Zhiyu.

"Your Majesty, there was an imposter, and it was indeed Ji Qing's name, but this person is not Ji Qing."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Li.

Wu Li immediately knelt down with a plop: "Why do you say that, sir? My name is indeed Ji Qing!"

"Oh?" Jiang Zhiyu asked softly, "How do you prove it?"

Wu Li took out the forged badge and said, "This is my badge, please take a look, sir."

A young eunuch went to get it, but Jiang Zhiyu didn't even look at it.

"This doesn't prove that you are Ji Qing who wrote that article."

After Jiang Zhiyu finished speaking, Wu Li was dumbfounded.

If the badge can’t prove it, then what can?

Tianqi relies on this badge to recognize people.

Xiao Yanli was a little nervous because of Jiang Zhiyu's confident tone, but after hearing this, he was no longer worried.

In his opinion, Jiang Zhiyu is just delaying time.

If a badge can’t prove your identity, then what can?

Her mouth?

The other ministers were also slightly stunned and said nothing.

Jiang Zhiyu continued, "Is Minister He free? Why don't you help me find someone?"

He Yanting took a step forward: "Of course."

emperor:"……"

These two are singing the same tune, as if he doesn't exist, right?

He coughed lightly in dissatisfaction, and when He Yanting looked over, he waved his hand: "Go quickly and come back soon."

After He Yanting left, Jiang Zhiyu asked the emperor to summon a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to go to the Imperial Academy to retrieve the essays written by the students, as well as the people from the Hanlin Academy who were responsible for copying them.

When Xiao Yanli and Wu Li heard Jiang Zhiyu say that she was going to look for someone, their hearts instantly became anxious.

Xiao Yanli is fine, at least it’s not obvious on the surface.

But Wu Li was different. He lowered his head, afraid that others would see his expression. He clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, and his fingertips were a little white.

If she really found Ji Qing, how could he continue to act like that? !

Waiting for someone is very difficult.

Jiang Zhiyu looked at the badge in his hand and suggested, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to identify people by their badges. At the very least, we can't just identify people by their badges."

The expressions of everyone present were somewhat indescribable.

At this time, why don’t you take care of yourself first and have time to care about your badge?

The emperor looked at her curiously and asked, "What do you think?"

"Not only should the name be engraved on this waist badge, but also the person's portrait and date of birth should be engraved on it. Only if all three items match can it be considered foolproof."

[Ancient ID card, I'm such a little genius! ]

The emperor seemed to have lost something, and the other court officials were also thoughtful. However, some people thought it was troublesome and said, "Why bother? It would be better to just engrave the name. Besides, how can ordinary people afford to hire a painter?"

"It's really not necessary."

Jiang Zhiyu did not refute immediately because the person she was waiting for had already arrived.

"Whether it is necessary or not, Lord Sun will understand next."

After leaving a sentence, He Yanting led the people behind him into the hall.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Although Ji Qing didn't understand what was going on, he calmly bowed and said, "I, Ji Qing, pay my respects to His Majesty."

Another Ji Qing!

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yanli and Wu Li.

After hearing Ji Qing reveal his name, Xiao Yanli and Wu Li's hanging hearts died instantly.

"You are Ji Qing, and he is also Ji Qing," the emperor said with a frivolous frown, "both of you come forward."

Someone with the same name as himself? Ji Qing looked over in confusion, and saw a person crawling and kneeling beside him.

You don't notice it when you look at them separately, but when you put them together, the contrast is very obvious.

One is neither humble nor arrogant, and is as graceful as a jade tree; the other is timid and cowardly as a mouse.

Xiao Yanli couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, although everyone is obsessed with looks, they also value evidence. One minister imitated Jiang Zhiyu and asked, "You say you are Ji Qing, what proof do you have?"

Ji Qingwei was startled and took out the badge from his pocket.

Everyone: “…”

Both waist badges were engraved with Ji Qing's name, and the styles and patterns of the waist badges were the same.

Everyone suddenly understood Jiang Zhiyu.

I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference.

At this moment, Qianhu also came over with the articles written by the people and students of the Hanlin Academy.

Jiang Zhiyu had asked everyone to divide the scope and sign their names, so it didn't take much effort to find Ji Qing's article and the person in charge - An Hong.

The Queen Mother's nephew.

He was timid by nature and seemed to have disappeared after entering the Hanlin Academy. Even the emperor was surprised to find such a person who had escaped the net only after seeing An Hong.

Jiang Zhiyu picked up Ji Qing's article and said, "Master Ji painstakingly wrote this article over three days and three nights. He must have memorized every word of it. So, I have a plan. Whoever can recite it will be the true Master Ji."

No one had any objection to this proposal.

After all, it is an article written by myself, so I must be familiar with it.

Ji Qing himself had no objection. He opened his mouth to recite, but was stopped by Jiang Zhiyu: "First come, first served. Since Mr. Ji came first, he should recite first."

Wu Li, who was named: "..."

The sweat on his head poured down like heavy rain, and he looked at Xiao Yanli for help.

He stammered, "People...people's hearts, people..."

Everyone could not hide their surprise.

Even if you can't memorize the whole article, you can at least memorize the first few sentences, right?

It's obvious that this person can't recite a single word.

Jiang Zhiyu croaked, "Excellent! You didn't guess a single word correctly."

Wu Li: “…”

It was clear who was real and who was fake, but Wu Li still wanted to put up a fight: "I just forgot, and he might not remember it!"
