Two hundred and thirtieth eight chapters forced palace
Zhang Dun and Cai Bian entered the Chugong Hall, looked at Zhao Xu, and raised their hand to salute.
Zhao Xu waved his hand directly and said, "I'm fine, is it for Cai Jing's memorial?"
Cai Bian stopped after hearing this, but Zhang Dun insisted on saluting: "I have met the official family."
After his words fell, Zhao Xu's words were still echoing.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun and continued to wait for him to speak.
Zhang Dun put down his hand, paused a little, and said, "Yes. Just now, Shangshu Lin of the Ministry of Personnel blocked his ministers on the road and questioned him a few words."
Zhao Xu looked slightly moved, and looked at Cai Bian knowingly, saying, "Cai Qing family, what do you think?"
Cai Bian hesitated and said, "Officials, can I see the memorial?"
Zhao Xu nodded, and Chen Pi handed the memorial to Cai Bian.
Cai Bian looked at it seriously, and his face gradually solidified.
Cai Jing's memorial can be said to be upright and there is no selfishness. However, the "abolition of the imperial examination" is a big deal and is enough to hurt the Song Dynasty. When it is put forward at this sensitive moment, his thoughts really need to be carefully considered.
Cai Bian looked at it for a while, looked calm and raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please reject this memorial."
Zhao Xu was not surprised. Whether it was the sensitive moment in front of him or the abolition of the imperial examination itself, it was not a trivial matter.
“No rejection.”
When Zhao Xu saw Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, he immediately wanted to speak. He raised his hand and pressed them down. He smiled and said, "I didn't say that I would abolish the imperial examination immediately, but if this matter blocks it, we will get smoothly in many things."
Zhang Dun quickly understood, as if he had not heard the word "immediately". His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were burning, and he had already thought about countless things like lightning in his heart.
Cai Bian was not stupid either. He pondered for a moment, but said worriedly: "Officials, this matter is left to ferment. I am worried that it will cause a disaster for the Party and the corruption."
Zhao Xu glanced at Cai Bian, and the dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes.
These people always speak according to classics, and if they read less, they can’t chat properly.
Zhao Xu is now, and he has a hundred questions in his heart: What is the disaster of the Party and the Corruption?
He thought literally for a while, but still didn't understand, and said calmly: "It's not that serious. Don't worry about doing things. By the way, the first step is to treat it as if it wasn't. The court encouraged local governments to build academies and teach and educate people. Second, the court should formulate a curriculum to provide pens, ink, paper, books, etc. for poor scholars. In addition, the Hanlin Academy was ordered to compile dictionaries and publish them all over the world."
Zhang Dun raised his hand decisively and said, "I obey the order. The Political Affairs Hall will convene all departments to deploy related matters."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I have compiled the dictionary, I will give it to me for a review first." Zhao Xu said seriously and would never tell others, because he failed the cultural course.
Zhang Dun said: "This dictionary is named 'Yuanyou Dictionary'."
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Will my husband flatter in this chapter?
Cai Bian was unaware of anything. This was a 'convention' and raised his hand and said, "The officials, some people in the court recommended Su Shi as the Minister of Rites. The political affairs hall is also more inclined to ask the officials to decide."
Zhao Xu said lightly: "Be empty first."
Zhang Dun understood what Zhao Xu meant, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is done by the Green Tile House."
What I said is to use the abolition of the imperial examination to cover up their reform actions. There is still more than a month left in the spring examination, and with Su Shi's appointment, the court and the country will inevitably be even more excited.
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile. It was indeed comforting to have a tacit subordinate.
"What does Su Xianggong say?" Zhao Xu asked Su Song instead. He was the leader of the 'old party' and the prime minister, and his attitude was also very critical.
Zhang Dun's eyes flashed with a sharp look. He knew the purpose of Zhao Xu leaving Su Song, but he did not like Su Song. This person was too stubborn. If he really tried to stop the "new law", Zhang Dun would be restrained.
Cai Bian responded and said, "Mr. Su will definitely object, but fortunately the official family..."
He didn't finish speaking, and he said nothing.
Fortunately, he didn't persist.
Zhao Xu smiled and said with some emotion: "Do you feel a little uncomfortable with me as an emperor?"
Cai Bian's face changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hand and said, "The official family is concerned about the world and is approachable. It is one of the few wise and wise rulers in ancient times. It is a great honor for the ministers to meet the official family."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said frankly: "There is no need to hide it. People can hide three points when they get along with each other, let alone the monarch and ministers. I will tell you what I should say and what I can say. But I didn't say, I hope you can understand something. What I did, I hope you can understand it. The most rare thing between the monarch and the ministers is tacit understanding. If you really point it out, it would be boring."
Cai Bian didn't know how to respond for a while. The emperor's pretending to be profound is not that terrible. Instead, being "frank" would make people wary of it.
Zhang Dun prefers this frankness and says, "I understand."
Zhao Xu looked outside the palace and smiled more and said, "It's probably lively outside, so go."
Zhang Dun and Cai Bian raised their hand and said, "I will leave."
Zhao Xu looked at the backs of the two, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked down at Cai Jing's memorial, and was ready to move.
He gave Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian's reason was naturally half true and half false. Education is an urgent matter, so how can it be delayed?
Zhao Xu's eyes flashed for a moment, and he stood up and said, "Go back to Funing Palace. By the way, let Tong Guan record the recent incidents of the Privy Council and show it to me."
What Zhao Xu is most concerned about is the "military reform". Only by holding the army can he feel at ease.
On the way back to Funing Palace, there were indeed storms outside the palace.
This time, the main force was the candidates who took the exam. In Kaifeng City, there were thousands of candidates who waited for the exam!
Those who have passed the exam secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and many people are still proud. However, those who have been preparing for the exam and those who have been taking the exam for many years are so angry that they are too angry.
They worked hard to study, just to achieve success in one day, and everyone in the world knew that they would shine their ancestors and return home in glory.
Now, the imperial court wants to cancel the imperial examination and let them do this? After more than ten years of hard study, are they waiting for a "abolition of the imperial examination"?
Thank you so much hardship, and it will be empty all the time?
In front of the Ministry of Justice.
Hundreds of young people surrounded the gate, cursed, pushed the yamen runners, and screamed in anger.
"Cai Jing, get out of the traitor!"
"Shameless traitors will cause trouble to the country and the government!"
"The imperial examination has been abolished, and the thief has never been seen in ancient and modern times!"
"Tai traitors will harm the country and the people, get out!"
These people were very angry and were holding various "weapons". If the gate of the Ministry of Justice had not been closed, they would have rushed in long ago.
The yamen runners in Kaifeng Prefecture were not far away, but they did not move forward to drive them away.
These scholars were out of anger. If they really wanted to drive them away and add fuel to the fire, they still didn't know how much chaos would happen.
Cai Jing’s pay-off room.
He expected something to happen, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Listening to the screams and scolding outside the palace, Cai Jing had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
In front of them, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, the doctor, and the official waiter.
The expressions of the crowd were very bad, or bad, and some people even showed angry and cold expressions.
A chief clerk watched from the side, frightened, afraid that someone would hide the dagger, so he suddenly gave Cai Jing a few moves.
The yamen runners outside the door were sweating coldly on their heads and would rush in to protect Shangshu Cai at any time.
Cai Jing didn't say anything, he was not worried about these troublemakers. He was thinking about Zhao Xu and the attitudes of Su Song, Zhang Dun and others in the Political Affairs Hall.
As things ferment, the attitudes of these people determine this matter and his future!
At the same time, Lin Xi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was besieged by the Ministry of Personnel.
"The officials definitely disagree!" This is Wenxuanlang from the Ministry of Personnel. He has a low position and a powerful person. He is the one named by Zhang Dun.
"Shangshu Lin, the hat and the head of the lower official are here. If you want to pass the ministry's advice, chop my head first!" This is the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel. He threw the hat on Lin Xi's table, untied his clothes, and exposed his neck.
The two ministers on both sides looked at each other, raised their hands together, and said, "The officials are not afraid of offending the Secretary of the State. They abolish the imperial examinations and shake the foundation of the country. It is difficult for the officials and others to agree to this matter!"
The Ministry of Personnel almost worked together to oppose it, and even "forced each other to death".
Lin Xi always had a face indifferently, and after the crowd finished speaking, he said, "I stopped Mr. Zhang on the way behind the Political Affairs Hall and said almost everything you said."
Everyone was happy first and then surprised, and they all knew that Zhang Dun had a bad temper. The Wenxuanlang asked cautiously: "What do you think of Xianggong Zhang?"
Lin Xi took a breath in secret, without answering, but said: "My Ministry of Personnel firmly opposes this matter. I am now preparing to write to the official, are you co-branding?"
"Of course!" said the crowd in unison.
The Ministry of Justice was forcing the palace, and the Ministry of Personnel had already united. In the Political Affairs Hall, Prime Minister Su Song gradually felt huge pressure.
