Chapter 236: A New Hot Spot
Xu Xinglong looked at the Taoist script, and the expression on his face kept changing.
Shock, doubt, followed by fear!
He held Cai Jing's recital with trembling hands, looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Official, is this true?" β
Zhao Xu glanced at Cai Jing and said, "This is Cai Shangshu, the script he just gave me. β
Xu Xinglong understood, glanced at Cai Jing, his face was shocked and resentful, looked at Zhao Xu and said in a deep voice: "Official, the way of the imperial examination has lasted for thousands of years, and it is the fairest system for selecting scholars in the world!" If it is abolished, how can the imperial court still choose scholars? Millions of scholars in the world have been studying hard for more than ten years, how can they be embarrassed? Official, this will chill the hearts of the world's corporals, it is an evil law! Please think twice and think again! β
Cai Jing looked at Xu Xinglong's eyes with indifference, and the murderous intent flashed. He was already nervously waiting for Zhao Xu to make a statement, but now Xu Xinglong completely ignored him Jane, and he was forcing him to death!
Zhao Xu noticed Cai Jing's expression and said lightly: "Cai Qing's family, what do you think?" β
Cai Jing tried his best to stabilize his mind, and said after a moment of silence: "Official, there are countless cold scholars in the world, and they are a hundred times more than scholars. They have no books to read, no way out, and this is a blessing in the long run. β
Perhaps thinking that such a big thing should not be said by him, Cai Jing quickly changed and said: "If the housekeeper is to build a wide academy, the benefit will be in the world, and the merit will be in the future." It is a great measure for the benefit of the country and the people! I believe that everyone in the world is looking forward to it. Those who oppose it are nothing more than lack of knowledge, and they are worried that others will rob him of his fame in the imperial examination, and the ministers will ask the officials to make their own decisions! β
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, this Cai Jing is really good at talking.
Xu Xinglong was excited when he heard this, and said loudly: "The villain of the official family, please kill Cai Jing!" This person is talking about chaos and politics, and his heart is unpredictable! The way of the imperial examination is the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, the scholars rely on it, and the people raise it, please don't believe the words of this villain! β
Cai Jing's face was pale, and just as he was about to speak, Zhao Xu raised his hand and pressed it, but Cai Jing was full of anger, but he could only be pressed on his chest
Zhao Xu looked at Xu Xinglong, and seeing that he was still opposing for the sake of opposition, he said thoughtfully: "There are some things you said that are very right, but there are many things that you don't see enough, and they are a little naΓ―ve." Regarding Cai Shangshu's script, you hardly have any analysis of the pros and cons. β
Xu Xinglong is just a person who has just taken the exam, and he is not a jinshi, so he naturally knows how many catties and taels he has, he suppresses his anger, he is worried in his heart, he is silent for a long time, and he still can't hide his anger and says: "The villain asks the officials not to abolish the imperial examination, this is a disaster for the country and chaos, this move will make the world centrifuged, the officials are panicked, and the people are uneasy." β
Cai Jing couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Official, this son is stubborn, rotten wood cannot be carved, there is no need to talk nonsense with him, he should get rid of his fame and let him make a big deal of nonsense among the people." β
Xu Xinglong looked at Cai Jing, suddenly his breath was short, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and roared fiercely: "Traitor, I fought with you!" Before the words fell, he had already swung his fist and pounced towards Cai Jing.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one reacted.
After all, Cai Jing was in his fifties, and he was immediately thrown to the ground by Xu Xinglong, suffering crazy punches and kicks.
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, not for a moment.
Seeing that Zhao Xu didn't give an order, the plainclothes guards naturally didn't move.
Zhao Xu estimated the time and shouted just right: "Quick, pull them away." β
The guards also seemed to react suddenly, and quickly stepped forward to pull Xu Xinglong aside.
Cai Jing struggled to get up from the ground, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and his face was even more distorted, blue and purple.
He was furious, staring at Xu Xinglong with hideous eyes, and the killing intent on his face could no longer be concealed.
Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and he was quickly managed by him, and his heart was secretly refreshed. This old thing, if Zhao Xu hadn't been proud of his identity, he would have beaten him to death a long time ago.
Xu Xinglong was still uneasy, staring at Cai Jing and said angrily: "I can't wait to slash a traitor like you!" β
Because of Zhao Xu's presence and the matter of the transcript just now, Cai Jing gritted his teeth and said not a word with a gloomy face. It's just that his expression fully shows that he will settle the score after the autumn!
Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing's expression, glanced at Xu Xinglong, and suddenly said: "Beating the officials of the imperial court, especially in front of me, should be severely punished." Cai Qingjia, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, how do you say to deal with it? β
Cai Jing suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, frowned and felt pain on his face, and became more and more angry and hateful in his heart, but he tried his best to calm down, silently pondered Zhao Xu's two words, and said angrily: "Official, although this son is hateful, but in the end, it is the son of the current imperial examination, if it is severely punished, it will appear that the ministers are not as good as adults, and it will also make the people of the world feel that the court has no tolerance." The minister suggested that it be okay to send a few reprimands to Kaifeng Mansion. β
This Cai Jing is really a smart person and can endure it.
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead, the guards immediately dragged Xu Xinglong out." β
Xu Xinglong shouted angrily at Zhao Xu: "Official, this traitor's words are not credible, his heart is unpredictable, he must not be deceived, please think twice......"
Zhao Xu watched him being pulled down and walked away, didn't pay attention to Cai Jing, who was beaten, picked up the teacup and took another sip.
Cai Jing stood opposite Zhao Xu, enduring the pain, and the anger and hatred in his heart were unbearable, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only endure it stubbornly.
Zhao Xu took a few sips of tea, shook his head, and said, "This teahouse is really reserved." β
Not to mention the temptation of the three people just now, it has been a long time since Xu Xinglong shouted the word "official", but this teahouse is still quiet.
Cai Jing also came to his senses, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand and said: "Official, the water in this and the first teahouse is too deep, so the minister will mobilize the officials of the criminal department, seal this and the first teahouse, and find out what is going on behind the scenes!" β
Zhao Xu looked at him and said with an obscure smile: "Can you really find out?" β
Cai Jing's face was tense, his face was full of solemnity on his alternating blue and red faces, and he said in a deep voice: "
The minister guarantees with a head, and he must check it clearly for His Majesty! β
Zhao Xu stood up, smiled more deeply and said, "Cai Qing's family doesn't want to joke, it's just a little thing." Alright, almost, it's time for me to go back. β
Cai Jing knew that it might be dangerous to continue here, so he immediately accompanied Zhao Xu downstairs.
There seemed to be no one in the teahouse, only the footsteps of Zhao Xu and others were echoing.
Zhao Xu didn't have the curiosity before he came, and strode out of the teahouse.
As soon as he went out, Zhao Xu was surrounded by guards everywhere before and after his death.
Zhao Xu didn't go to the household department again, and went back to the palace directly. The surprises that gave him one after another along the way today, of course, not this and the first teahouse, but Cai Jing's recital.
Cai Jing stood at the foot of the teahouse, his face gloomy, and his eyes were angry.
Xu Xinglong was saved by the official family, and he couldn't help it. But this and the first teahouse can just come out of the evil spirit in his heart!
Cai Jing stared at it for a while, then turned around and went directly back to the Criminal Department.
The front of the teahouse was soon empty, and there were no passers-by.
The young man who sold aphrodisiacs hid in the corner, looking at Zhao Xu's back, his heart was extremely hot.
Quietly in the teahouse, various sounds soon sounded. Some of the people wearing long shirts and covering their faces with long sleeves quickly disappeared around the corners through the back door.
Not long after, the officials of the Criminal Department seized the teahouse, but only a few guys were arrested, not even a single guest.
Cai Jing was not surprised at all, sitting in the house, holding a pen and writing slowly on a piece of paper, white and black, the pen and ink were not dry, and they were names.
It's not the first time Cai Jing has been to the first teahouse, so naturally he doesn't know anything. But as he wrote, he suddenly crossed out a few more names, and so on and forth several times.
Just when Cai Jing was preparing to retaliate, another piece of news exploded today.
Cai Jing's recital was said by Xu Xinglong, and it spread quickly, and the government and the opposition were stunned.
Especially in the next month, Dabi slowly gathered in Bianjing City I don't know how many test-takers, and suddenly heard the news naturally unacceptable, and an almost burning anger quickly spread in Kaifeng City.
The speed of Cai Jing's fermentation was astonishing, and it quickly covered the past things of the imperial court and became the latest hot spot in Kaifeng City.
