As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, no one bothered, and this person called the door.

Chen Pi looked at the three young people and quietly stepped out of the way, highlighting the plainclothes guards.

Cai Jing frowned, stared at the three of them and snorted coldly: "Presumptuous! Meng Tang is the uncle of the country, how can you talk nonsense! Get out! ”

Chen Pi was stunned and looked at Cai Jing. His words sounded a little strange.

The young man in the lead snorted coldly and said, "What kind of uncle is he, haven't you heard the rumors?" The official family is going to be abolished! ”

Zhao Xu looked playful, but he had heard these rumors, but was it so popular?

Cai Jing was just about to say more, Zhao Xu coughed lightly and looked at the three of them: "Meng Tang is following me." The people behind you must be curious about my identity, right? I can let Cai Shangshu accompany me, my identity naturally has some direction to guess, you guys came over to test it, are you ready to bear the consequences? ”

The expressions of the three young men changed slightly, they didn't expect to be broken so quickly.

They didn't dare to look at Cai Jing, and the one who led the way raised his hand very decisively, and said to Zhao Xu in a deep voice: "Meng Tang was thrown out by me, this brother can tell the Zun Mansion where it is, prepare a generous gift, and personally come to the door to make amends." ”

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Meng Tang is the current national uncle, how long has Meng Niangniang been canonized, how can she be abolished?" You dare to throw him out in the street, such a humiliation, it can be seen that you have no fear. Let's talk about it, who is the big proprietor behind this and the first teahouse? ”

This is not just a place for some young scholars to drink tea and talk about the gossip of the government and the opposition.

This is a special place for cultivating power in an upright manner, Cai Jing is familiar with this place, even his uncle Meng Tang can be thrown out of the door casually, it can be imagined that the people behind this scene are extraordinary!

The young man in the lead couldn't help but glance at Cai Jing, and saw that he was sitting with Bafeng not moving, his face expressionless, and he couldn't guess Zhao Xu's identity more and more.

In the hundred years of Chengping in the Great Song Dynasty, there have been countless families and nobles who have been inherited from the Taizu period, among which there are more 'noble disciples', which is difficult to deduce.

Seeing Zhao Xu calmly asking the big boss of the first teahouse, the young man looked solemn, raised his hand, and said, "This brother, there was really something wrong with Brother Meng's behavior just now, and I will go to Meng's mansion to ask for guilt later." Everyone is welcome to the teahouse, and if you are offended, please bear with it. ”

As he spoke, he quietly observed Zhao Xu's expression and prepared to leave.

Zhao Xu flinched when he saw him like this, and said curiously: "You won't test and temptation anymore?" Maybe I'm just a good outsider? Or, I just have some friendship with Cai Shangshu at home, and I met at the door just now, and he just wanted to carry me one or two? ”

The young man didn't want to dwell on it more, and said: "Yes or no, it's all in the next Meng Lang just now, so I'll go to Meng's Mansion to apologize and leave." ”

With that, the three young men left without any delay.

Zhao Xu tilted his head, looked at Cai Jing, and said with a playful smile: "This is the first teahouse, it's really interesting, the gatekeeper is polite and courteous, and the tempting pawn is also well-founded." ”

Cai Jing looked at Zhao Xu's expression, bowed, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The big proprietor behind this teahouse has always been mysterious, and the minister has only heard of some of them, but he has never seen them. It is said that the surname of the big owner is Wen, and there are several grandfathers, who are not known. ”

"Wen?"

Zhao Xu sighed, looked at Cai Jing and said, "You've just heard of some?" ”

Cai Jing bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu couldn't see his expression clearly, and wondered in his heart about the big boss behind the scenes, such a small teahouse, including Meng Tang and Cai Jingjing, the network of relationships cultivated was really unimaginable.

The muddy waters of the Great Song Dynasty officialdom were deeper than he expected.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea silently, and suddenly said: "The main exam of this year's Spring Festival, is Su Shi?" ”

Cai Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Zhao Xu continued to ask, he would be uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu didn't ask much, Cai Jing secretly calmed down, and said: "There is such a saying in the political hall, it is said that Zhang Xianggong wants to recommend Su Shi to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhao Xu knew about the book of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Xuan talked to him about it, and Zhao Xu agreed.

Zhang Dian may have felt that he was alone, and he was trying to win over some people and forces that could be wooed. Su Shi's Shu Party was one of them.

Cai Jing's mean face tried his best to pretend to be peaceful, lowered his head, his eyes flashed like a glow, struggled again and again, took out a playbook from his sleeve, handed it forward with both hands, and said, "Please take a look at the official." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned, Cai Jing almost never gave him a recital except for routine work, especially on this occasion!

Zhao Xu looked at him a few times, took it, and opened it to look.

Just swept it in a hurry, Zhao Xu's brows trembled vigorously, and his face changed rapidly.

Chen Pi stood aside, looked at Zhao Xu's expression, and looked up at Cai Jing.

Cai Jing bowed down, lowered his head, and couldn't see his expression clearly, but the corners of his fair face kept trembling slightly, and he seemed to be very nervous.

Zhao Xu looked at this recital quietly, and his changing expression slowly stopped, but he was silent.

Cai Jing's content here is related to this year's Chunwei, and it has a lot to do with it!

Cai Jing's recital book says a lot of things.

The first was to expand Taixue, the second was to establish schools in prefectures and counties, the third was to establish specialized schools, and the fourth was to replace the imperial examination with schools.

There is no problem with expanding Taixue, there is no problem with setting up general academies, and there is no big problem with running a specialized school for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in the end, the fourth one, with 'replacing the imperial examination with a school', really shocked Zhao Xu.

Would such a traitor at both ends of a snake and rat have such thoughts?

If it can really be implemented and carried out, the enlightenment of the people's wisdom, the cultivation and reserve of talents, and the development of the economy, culture, science, politics, and military will be unimaginable!

In Cai Jing's notebook, there is also a mention of the saying '300 days and scholars', that is, those who apply for the subject must study in school for 300 days before they can take the exam.

This is simply a reduced version of the 'nine-year obligation'!

For a long time, Zhao Xu looked up at Cai Jing, but still didn't speak.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination is the most important or even the only way for scholars to enter the official ranks, if this book is spread, just the words 'abolish the imperial examination', Cai Jing is likely to be beaten to death on the road!

This is a bombshell, thrown out, it will definitely boil in the opposition and may drown out a lot of things in front of you!

Cai Jing, although he is an old and slippery officialdom, often swaying at both ends of the snake and mouse, and is accustomed to speculation, he is a person who cannot be trusted. But such a person is often capable, visionary, and courageous.

Cai Jing saw that Zhao Xu was silent for a long time, the corners of his face were tense, and his back was a little cold.

He was indeed speculating, and he had been in a state of panic since he returned to Beijing. Because Zhao Xu summoned him back to Beijing, he was worried that Zhao Xu would not be able to fight the Empress Dowager Gao, so he pretended that the road was far away and he did not return for a long time.

Therefore, even if he sits in the position of the secretary of the criminal department, it is only the need to balance the court situation, and once the court situation is stable, he may be kicked out at any time.

In the past six months, Cai Jing has been unable to sleep at night, and has thought of countless ways to regain the Sacred Heart. This recital is the result of his painstaking meditation and the result of the last battle!

He knew the risks of this matter, and he knew better what he wanted, and he wanted to please the Great Song official family in front of him more than offending the people of the world!
