Su Shi and Lu Tao were not one or two people. As the court continued to increase its efforts, it vigorously promoted the "new law". In addition, the court was as solid as a rock, which was not as leveraged as the Xining period. Like Su Shi and Lu Tao, they were disheartened and no longer attempted to stop it. More and more people resisted.

Some people devote their feelings to mountains and rivers and travel around; some are like Lu Tao, ready to live in seclusion and completely bid farewell to the career of officialdom.

Apart from them, there are more people waiting and waiting.

Of course, there are also many people who don’t want to drink.

A few days later, on February 22, the Hanlin Academy's papers were basically over, and the papers that were able to admit the third grade were basically deleted.

Four ministers, Su Song, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao, sat behind them, were the six ministers of the ministers, and in front were Li Qingchen, Shen Kuo and more than a dozen editors of the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy is mainly responsible for reviewing the papers. The results are now available. I just wait for these big guys to reveal their names and see who was admitted.

At this moment, there are only the "Three A's" and there are no first A and two A's. You have to wait for the palace examination to set the rankings.

"Look at the thirteen in front first." Zhang Dun said.

The first thirteen are the first and second a.

Although this may cause variables in some people due to the palace examination, it will generally not change. According to previous years' experience, at least ten of these thirteen people will be in the second grade.

Li Qingchen took the initiative to untie the first three names and announced the names loudly.

"Bi Jian, from Qianjiang County, Jingzhou."

"Zhao Shen, from Yuzhou."

"Cen Rang, from Jeju."

...

Li Qingchen thought about it one by one, and everyone present was not surprised.

These people were quite talented before this, and the court bosses present actually knew it.

Zhang Dun glanced at Su Song and said, "Su Xianggong, I want to keep this Bi Jian."

Seeing Zhang Dun taking the lead, Su Song smiled calmly and said, "Then Zhao Shen will go to the Political Affairs Hall, I just miss a sect."

The so-called doorman is a civil servant and a minor official who is responsible for cleaning, organizing documents, and communicating with each other in the room.

But how could the "gatekeeper" in the prime minister's room be a real "gatekeeper"?

The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister, not to mention that Bi Jian is destined to be a Jinshi in the second grade. He stayed with Su Song for a year and a half and was at least a high-ranking county magistrate. With Su Song's support, he will be worth looking forward to entering the six ministries and even the Political Affairs Hall in the future!

The crowd looked at the two test papers and kept a secret concern.

Seeing that Su and Zhang and his two husbands had a good atmosphere, Cai Bian continued with a smile: "Then Cen Rang, look at the palace examination. If it is good, I will stay in the green tiled house. Don't snatch it with me..."

A group of big men in the court laughed in a very good manner.

Such a relaxed atmosphere is very rare in the court.

Zhang Dun was serious, had always had a serious expression, and acted in a straightforward manner. Except for the official who could make him turn things around, no one else could do it.

Then, others also entered the ranks of robbery, and the tentative 13th 2nd and 13th 2nd were soon divided up by the sixth ministries.

After solving these problems, Li Qingchen raised his hand and said, "Several ministers, the officials have already made a list. Will they submit them to the officials now?"

Zhang Dun looked at him and said, "The palace examination time is not yet determined. The official will meet with several magistrates of Kaifeng Prefecture tomorrow. Today, we will make these things clear."

"Yes." Li Qingchen immediately prepared with Shen Kuo.

Then, under the leadership of Su Song, Zhang Dun and others, Li Qingchen and Shen Kuo, the two major candidates, entered the palace together.

Zhao Xu sat here in the Chuigong Hall, examining the "New Law Progress Report" sent by Kaifeng Prefecture.

This report does not report good news or bad news, but instead highlights various difficulties.

The gentry class and even ordinary people were resisting, believing that this was "the court plundered the people's wealth", and there were various means and various methods, and they used all kinds of methods.

"De?"

Zhao Xu remained motionless and remembered Su Song's words again.

The court occupied the "reasons" and could act with great righteousness, but in the face of actual interests, these "reasons" were not enough. The gentry class had countless ways to smear the court and attack the "new laws" and occupied the mainstream of public opinion.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly, looked at the report with a deep expression.

Things like "virtue" must match "interest". Sima Guang and others abolished the "new law" before becoming the three wise men. The "new law" has been criticized and slandered since its emergence. It is extremely difficult to reverse it.

"A road goes dark?"

Zhao Xu whispered to himself again.

If he continues all the way, he will inevitably confront the current vested interest groups to the end. This is a difficult, long, and unpredictable process.

Looking at the Qing Dynasty from Qin to later generations, almost all reformers failed without exception.

Zhao Xu stared at the report, thoughtful in his heart, and suddenly said softly: "I hope I live long enough..."

Time is the biggest enemy and the greatest help. If he can survive like Sima Rui and die for several generations, then the "new method" is enough to lay the foundation and cultivate enough new interest classes. It will be extremely difficult to repeat it again!

Chenpi was not far away, but when she heard it, she was shocked and looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.

What does the official family mean? Is there anyone in the palace trying to harm him? Or outside the palace?

Tangerine Pi looked uneasy. No matter inside and outside the palace, he decided to quietly search the palace and completely erase all dangers!

"Report to the officials, Su Gong, Zhang Gong, Cai Gong, Han Gong, Shangshu Li, and Shen Jijiu asked for a meeting." A yellow door walked over slowly at the door and said with a bow.

Zhao Xu instantly remembered the imperial examination, closed the report in his hand, and said with a smile: "Please come in. Tangerine peel and see the tea."

Chen Pi responded, and when she turned around, she saw Su Song, Zhang Dun and four other ministers coming in, plus Li Qingchen and Shen Kuo.

Chenpi turned around and entered the side door, suddenly a small official hurried to his ear and whispered: "The great official, a rumor suddenly appeared outside the palace, saying: "The time of heaven will not come, the lord Johnson and Johnson; if the big things are not investigated, the prosperous times will be accomplished." And what else is it that 'If Yuanyou is not blessed, it will be difficult to use when the servants are served; the holy path is rugged, and the heaven and earth are sometimes'..."

He said, handing a piece of paper to the tangerine peel.

Chenpi didn't read much and was confused when she listened. After taking it, her face suddenly changed.

The first sentence, he could understand the literal meaning, but he didn't quite understand it. But he knew the "maid" and "Yuanyou" later. Yuanyou was the year name, and this "maid" was the original name of the official family!

In other words, Zhao Xu's original name is Zhao Zhong!

From this perspective, these two rumors are very heartbreaking!

Chenpi's face was gloomy and she was not as calm as she used to be respectful and calm. She took a step forward and shouted in a cold voice: "Who did you tell me? Imperial City Department or the one sent it from Qingtianwei?"

Huangmen was startled and whispered: "It's Qingtianwei."

Chenpi looked at the paper again, looked ugly, pushed him away, and shouted in a low voice: "Send the message to the Imperial City Office, let them investigate carefully, and don't act rashly for the time being, waiting for the official's order."

"Yes." The yellow door responded.

Chenpi took a deep breath, slowly regained her expression, greeted the palace maids, and asked her to wait for several of her husbands who had already sat down to serve tea.

Su Song, Zhang Dun and others had been accustomed to it, and just bowed slightly.

Zhao Xu glanced at Chenpi and turned to Su Song. Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Looking at the expressions of the Qing family, are there many talents in this imperial examination?"

As the prime minister, Su Song immediately smiled and said, "What the official said is that I have attracted a few people. I don't think there will be any surprises for Yijia."

"oh?"

Zhao Xu smiled happily. Su Song was so confident that these three people were indeed outstanding and there would be no problem.

Su Song said: "Zhao Shen, a native of Yuzhou, is very optimistic. He has a good writing style and sharpness. His words are square and round between the lines, which is a material that can be made."

"Yuzhou..."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, with some impression that Yuzhou was originally a place where people were from, but later its leader led his troops to surrender to the Song Dynasty. When Emperor Shenzong was happy, he gave them the surname "Zhao".
