Zhao Xu was very satisfied with Cai Jing's recital, and he also had the idea of universal education in his heart.

The current Great Song Dynasty is relatively civilized, not as extreme as the Southern Song Dynasty in history. Moreover, the imperial court is rich, and the border war is relatively controllable, so it can do a lot of things!

Zhao Xu was thinking quickly in his heart, and one plan after another had been formed in his mind, especially when he thought that after ten or twenty years of implementation, the talents that emerged would have an impact on the entire society of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was a little excited.

Cai Jing had been waiting quietly, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and he couldn't see Zhao Xu's expression. But with Zhao Xu's silence, he felt more and more uneasy, and even regretted it a little, he knew that he should further touch Zhao Xu's mind, at least he should find the younger brother who has not been in touch for many years to talk about brotherhood.

After a while, Zhao Xuxing turned around, thinking about this matter and who to hand it over, he looked up at Cai Jing and said lightly: "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

Cai Jing's heart chuckled, the more he bowed, his tone tried his best to remain calm, and said, "This is a minister...... A person's recital will be reported to the official's family as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Xu knew that Cai Jing and Cai Bian had a bad relationship, so he estimated the attitudes of Su Song, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian and others, and said, "Is it your true thoughts?" ”

If Cai Jing was just speculating, then he would have to be excluded from this matter.

Cai Jing was even more uneasy, and said stubbornly: "Yes." ”

Chen Pi didn't go to see this script, and he was a little surprised, not knowing what kind of script Cai Jing had taken.

Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing, if the criminal department Shangshu was to lead this matter, it seemed a little inappropriate, and the rest of the people in the court were very busy now and couldn't get out of it......

'Who?' Zhao Xu thought of names one by one.

"Take the exam, Xu Xinglong will see the official family." Suddenly, on Zhao Xu's left-hand side, not far from the outside of the coupling 'wall', a young man suddenly raised his hand and saluted.

Zhao Xu was stunned, and turned his head to see that it was one of the two young people playing in the room not far away just now. is still the one who resolutely opposes the change of the law and actively joins the office.

The other one doesn't know when it's gone.

About twenty years old, with a clear outline, some prominent facial features, a resolute and awe-inspiring demeanor, at first glance, he is the kind of stubborn person.

The Praetorian Guards quickly moved out and surrounded him.

Zhao Xu glanced at Cai Jing, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay." ”

The guards pushed away in response and let Xu Xinglong come over.

Xu Xinglong turned around and came to the outside of Zhao Xu's small room.

Cai Jingzheng was nervous, looking at Xu Xinglong who came out of nowhere, frowning, and there was a touch of coldness on the corner of his mean face.

Zhao Xu looked at Xu Xinglong and said, "I didn't recognize me in this teahouse, how did you recognize me?" ”

Xu Xinglong stood straight, his tone was calm and powerful, and said: "Let Cai Shangshu bow down again and again, except for the official family, the villain can't guess the second choice." ”

Zhao Xu was amazed and said, "There are really a lot of interesting people I met today. Have you ever thought that Cai Shangshu is a traitor at both ends of the snake and the mouse, he will do anything for the throne, if I am a prince or a certain noble son of the royal family, Cai Shangshu will not be surprised to me, right? ”

The current Great Song Dynasty, from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present hundred years, Kaifeng City has gathered countless nobles, and today's court officials, almost every family has inherited with the lord.

Cai Jing listened to Zhao Xu's words, his heart was cold, and he didn't dare to breathe.

He knows everything about the government and the opposition, and he is not only rejected by the two parties, but even his brother Cai Bian is also a stranger.

Xu Xinglong didn't hesitate, raised his hand and said: "With the age and bearing of the official family, the villain doesn't think secondly." ”

Zhao Xu felt more and more interesting, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, not caring about Cai Jing who was bowing, and then said: "What do you want to say when you point out my identity?" ”

Chen Pi suddenly approached and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official, someone has been staring at us. ”

Zhao Xu nodded and did not speak.

Xu Xinglong pondered for a moment, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Official, the villain opposes the new law and opposes the revival of the new law. The harm of the new law surpasses all maladministration, harms the country and harms the people, and it is the law of the country. ”

Even though Cai Jing was uneasy in his heart, he still had an instinctive reaction, raised his head and chest, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Changing the law is a major policy of the imperial court, how can you put your beak in a small move, and you can't go down! ”

Xu Xinglong glanced at Cai Jing, his face was awe-inspiring, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The government affairs of the imperial court are related to the common people in the world, as a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, when the court is raised, why can't you speak?" Could it be that in order to change the law, the imperial court wants to block the mouths of the people of the world? ”

Xu Xinglong seemed neither humble nor arrogant, but in the end, he still made an angry voice.

How could Cai Jing be refuted by a small move, not to mention that he was nervous, so he immediately calmed down and said, "You alone have become the mouth of the world?" It's just your own selfishness, your own opinion, is your tone too big? ”

Xu Xinglong was not afraid, turned to Zhao Xu, and said: "Official, Cai Shangshu is deceiving himself, although the law of the ancestors is inappropriate, but it is not useless, how can everyone shout and beat?" The 'new law' seems to be aimed at the evils of the times, but it is not a good way to save the world, but it is harmful, and there have been countless empirical evidence for so many years. The villain pleaded with the officials not to reinstate the new law. With regard to maladministration, it is necessary to prescribe medicine according to the illness and diagnose and treat the symptoms. There is no panacea for all diseases, and it is more dangerous to use the wrong prescription than not to cure it......"

Cai Jing didn't expect this Xu Xinglong to be so ignorant, his face was a little ugly, and he was about to scold him, but Zhao Xu said with a smile: "What you said makes sense." I have a problem right now, and I'd like to ask you what you think. My Great Song Dynasty raised one million soldiers, and seven or eight out of ten of the treasury was used to raise soldiers, and this number is still expanding. If this continues, not only will the treasury be unable to afford it, but the combat strength of the army will be declining day by day, do you have any feasible solutions? ”

Xu Xinglong opened his mouth and said: "The military system is determined by Taizu, weigh the world, and eliminate the disaster of the feudal town, and must not be moved lightly." ”

Zhao Xu sighed, there is still some truth in Xu Xinglong's previous words, but this sentence turned to the word 'opposition', no matter what, it is to oppose, but not to mention the solution!

In essence, it is still the old-fashioned one, sticking to the ancestral law and refusing to change.

This Xu Xinglong is still young, and he can't even mention tinkering, Zhao Xu hugged the teacup and said, "Do you think Shang Ying's transformation is too good?" ”

Xu Xinglong was about to take the exam, so he naturally didn't read the book less, and immediately said: "Shang Ying is a mean person, and in the end, he will also suffer the consequences." ”

Zhao Xu tilted his head to look at him, and realized the scholar's mouth and kung fu.

Xu Xinglong said that Shang Ying was a 'mean person', in fact, this was Ma Qian's evaluation of Shang Ying of Taishi Company, and with Sima Qian's status, it was 'the conclusion of the coffin' in the eyes of many people.

And self-inflicted evil consequences are Shang Ying's final ending, and he died under his changes, which can be said to be quite ironic.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "The law I said is not a human. ”

Xu Xinglong answered faster and said, "If it weren't for Shang Ying's law, Qin would not have died." ”

Zhao Xu listened and immediately understood why Wang Anshi's reputation in the Southern Song Dynasty and later generations would be so bad.

The reason is that in the eyes of conservatives: Qin died because of Shang Ying's reform of the law II, and the Northern Song Dynasty also died because of Wang Anshi's reform.

'Blame man, ......'

Zhao Xu sighed lightly in his heart.

'Changing the law' has always been a matter for a few people, and someone has to carry such a big black cauldron as the death of the country, not the emperor, not the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the dynasty, and it is easiest and simplest to push it to the dead.

Some people will only be remembered as 'evil' and ignore 'gong'. For others, there will be no 'evil' and all 'merit'.

But at the end of the day, it's nothing more than the word 'need'.

In different dynasties, different groups, and even different people will have different interpretations of these 'two'.

Xu Xinglong's answer is his position - stubborn conservatives.

Xu Xinglong is still young and has not entered the ranks. He is not alone, he represents the ideas and attitudes of the new, younger generation.

In the same vein!

Zhao Xu held the teacup, thought for a long time in his heart, glanced at Cai Jing, who was sitting straight, and suddenly handed the recital in front of him to Xu Xinglong, and said, "Look at this." ”

Xu Xinglong was stunned, a little unclear, so he still took it and looked at it.

The corners of Cai Jing's face were straight, he didn't know Zhao Xu's purpose for doing this, but his heart shrank fiercely.

This recital has been passed out, and I am afraid that tomorrow he will be impeached countless times.

In the court, especially those in the political hall, if there is one person who speaks, and the official family in front of him does not protect him, his fate will be extremely miserable!

Sure enough, Xu Xinglong's face changed greatly after only half of it, and when it came to the final 'abolition of the imperial examination', his eyes widened angrily, and his face was full of surprise and disbelief!

The imperial court actually wants to abolish the imperial examination!
