Xu Xinglong's mind flew around. He had to get rid of this, otherwise he would be very likely to fail the imperial examination in a month!

All the big men in the court were small-minded. He still remembered that Zong Ze was obviously the top scholar two years ago, but in the end he had only got the last place because he had offended the big men in the court!

He looked at Zhou Tao, who was obviously watching jokes at the old god, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "I want to write the memorial."

Zhou Tao thought he was the person appointed by Zhao Xu. When he arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, he was half an imperial envoy. He put his hands behind his back, nostrils upturned, and said with some disdain: "What are you going to write?"

Xu Xinglong calmed down and took a breath and said, "You will know soon."

Seeing him keeping him in hiding, Zhou Tao snorted in dissatisfaction, walked in with his master's steps, and said, "Come with me."

Xu Xinglong nodded, followed Zhou Tao to a side room, picked up his pen, thought for a moment and started writing.

Zhou Tao relied on his identity and did not go to see it.

Xu Xinglong finished writing it in one go, read it carefully again, then he put together the memorial and said, "I'll walk through the back door."

Without waiting for Zhou Tao to answer, he left strode.

Zhou Tao looked at his back and snorted again, saying, "Young people don't know what they say, they have no etiquette." He originally thought that Xu Xinglong would be 'respecting' him a little more.

As he said that, he saw a Kaifeng Prefecture civil servant not far away, he immediately scolded loudly: "I have seen the messy things you wrote, telling those people who dare to fool things, I will immediately write a secret memorial to the official family to punish you severely!"

The civil servant quickly lowered his head, his eyes were angry and disdainful, and he kept claiming "Yes".

Zhou Tao comes from the Political Affairs Hall, and is said to have a very background and no one dares to offend him. After all, if he really could write secret memorials, they would not be able to hold on, and they would probably be killed!

Seeing this, Zhou Tao hummed with smugness, with his hands behind his back, his head tilted, and left sternly.

Kaifeng Prefecture is extremely busy now. While they want to restore the burned documents, they still have to do more practical preparations. The implementation of the "new law" is imminent, and everyone is working overtime, and no one is idle.

Xu Xinglong quietly slipped away from the back door. He held the memorial and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly left.

Not long after Xu Xinglong left, a small official from Kaifeng Prefecture also followed him secretly. He went out and tidied up his clothes while quietly following Xu Xinglong.

He didn't notice that there were several people quietly staring at the back door of Kaifeng Mansion around the corner.

The little official didn't walk for long, and suddenly a person appeared behind him, and a white towel covered his mouth tightly.

The little official looked frightened, struggled a few times, and then slowly fell down.

Then several people who followed him moved the stinger to the dark place. Several people kept observing the surroundings carefully. Seeing that no one saw them, they immediately put the stinger in a sack and sent it to the carriage silently and took it away.

Not long after noon, the scholars surrounding the Ministry of Justice may have been persuaded or could not hold on, and there were signs of dispersion.

However, the struggle between the government and the public on "abolition of the imperial examination" has not stopped. There were hundreds of copies of opposing memorials, with strong words and everything they said. There were still a few words that were almost pointed at Zhao Xu and called him the "the most foolish monarch in the ages."

As the evening approached, the joint memorials of Su Shi, Gu Zhengyang and others appeared in the Political Affairs Hall. The number of people who jointly signed the letters included officials of the court, nobles and nobles, young scholars, and many others, including more than fifty people.

Housekeeper room.

Chen Qi saw an interesting music book, which came from the "No. 1 Hero" Xu Xinglong.

The memorial of Mr. Xu was not expected to oppose the abolition of the imperial examination, and did not even make any indirect measures. Instead, he was very calm and objectively analyzed the pros and cons of the imperial examination, and put forward many reform suggestions.

In this way, he did not change his attitude, nor did he completely offend the court, and could safely withdraw from this matter.

"interesting."

Chen Qi laughed, packed up a stack of song books on the table and put them on the plate.

The memorials here include Su Shi, Gu Zhengyang and others, as well as many big figures in the court and the country, including the "old party" and the "new party".

Chen Qi carried the plate and left the house, went straight out of the political affairs hall, and went to the green tiled house.

Before he could reach the green tiled room, Chen Qi saw Zhang Dun standing at the door holding a teacup, quietly looking at the sky outside the palace.

Chen Qi was slightly stunned and turned to look. He saw that the sky was as clear as blue as the sky was blue and there was nothing.

At this time, two officials were walking not far away, and they were talking in a loud and small voice.

"Did you see it? Mr. Zhang... seems to be laughing..."

"You must have read it wrong. Mr. Zhang has never laughed... Uh, am I dazzled?"

"I'm really laughing. My God, Mr. Zhang actually laughed..."

Chen Qi listened and turned around and looked. Sure enough, Zhang Dun, who had always been strict and serious, was actually smiling!

Chen Qi suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and he walked forward with a calm expression and came closer. He looked at Zhang Dun's smile and did not shy away. He felt his scalp numb and quickly said, "Grandpa Zhang, this is today's memorial."

Zhang Dun then slowly calmed down his expression and said, "I just came out of the Chuigong Hall. The official said that all the matter would be left to the Qingwa House for handling."

Chen Qi didn't say anything, which was no wonder. The official only cared about the general trend and never cared about these details. Moreover, as long as he did not violate his established plan, the official was still quite able to tolerate his subordinates.

After Zhang Dun said this, he suddenly said: "Three things, first, all those who submit the memorial to the abolition of the imperial examination are registered, especially the nobles, and given them to the Imperial City Department to let them understand the family background of these people, especially the land they own. Second, the Imperial City Department of the Ministry of Justice, Kaifeng Prefecture, etc., should not move around and wait and see if it changes. Third, publish a document in the name of the Political Affairs Hall, denounce Su Shi, Gu Zhengyang and others for spreading rumors, wantonly criticize the court, slander and interfere in politics, and impact discipline, causing uproar in the court and the country's affairs, and disrupting the country's affairs."

Chen Qi was stunned when he heard this. The Political Affairs Hall issued a document to scold the court officials. Wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?

He didn't know what Zhang Dun was going to do, so he thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Dun again, and saw that he stopped talking about anything else, he turned around and turned to the Political Affairs Hall.

Cai Bian came out of the door, looked at Zhang Dun, frowned and said, "Are you going to attack those nobles?"

Zhang Dun's actions were too hidden from others, but Cai Bian. As Zhang Dun's actions became more and more, he had already seen the dagger.

Zhang Dun held the teacup and looked outside the palace and said, "You have read all the land and acres. There are only a thousand people, but they actually own nearly 60% of the fertile land in the seventh route in the north. Are you also shocked?"

Cai Bian was not startled and said in a serious manner: "They are extraordinary and cannot do anything randomly. Even if you have evidence, it's not OK."

Zhang Dun took a sip of tea, looked at the sky outside the palace and said, "Last year, they dared to dig the Yellow River in order not to flood their fertile fields. Do you remember?"

Of course, Cai Bian remembered that he also knew that those land was owned by the high-ranking officials of the dynasty, and how expensive it was, including the Gao family of the Empress Dowager! I don’t know how many nobles and nobles involved!

Thinking of those people's identities, Cai Bian looked solemn and said, "You can kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but you can't move too much!"

Zhang Dun knew that this was Cai Bian's final concession, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his expression appeared again with a familiar stern look. His voice was as loud as iron, and he said, "This time, I will not catch or kill people!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the green tiled house.

Cai Bian looked at his back without any relaxation. After a while, he turned his head to look at the sky outside the palace and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Sometimes he is confused and even regrets.

If they were as determined as they were now, wouldn’t many things be delayed until now? If they were determined at the time, would the reform have been completed now?

Soon, the official documents drafted in the name of the Political Affairs Hall were all gone, but Shen Qi encountered another problem. The Prime Minister Da Yin was locked in Su Song's office. Without Su Song's Prime Minister Da Yin, their official documents could not be sent at all.

Su Song is now outside the city.
