The inclusion of "Political Lectures" and "Economic Theory" in the imperial examination caused an uproar in Xianyang, and the difficulty of obtaining the second book also attracted rounds of abuse.

A small number of people know that Gaofu has two books, but Gaofu holds on to it, and there is nothing to be done, Chang'an Township is even more clear, the second book is banned, and it is forbidden to sell it, and they dare not do forbidden things.

This time it's a big deal for everyone.

The second book was issued by Chang'an Township, and now Chang'an Township does not do forbidden things, so how do they get the second book and how to prepare for the next imperial examination.

As a result, this matter made a fuss, and soon spread throughout Xianyang.

At the same time, some people thought of Shusun Tong, saying that he banned the second book, and he harmed everyone.

Shusun Tong has some status in the minds of students, and after hearing such rumors, he immediately clarified, saying that he was only carrying out the emperor's order, and it was also a last resort to ban the second book.

These words involve the emperor's order, and no one dares to speak anymore, so they can only complain in their hearts, but there is still a sense of justice in the imperial history.

Zhangtai Palace.

Feng Qu came in a hurry, looking anxious.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good."

Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the recital, suddenly heard this voice and frowned.

After the imperial examination, Xianyang was a lot quieter, and nothing important happened, and it was rare for him to have a few days of stable life, and this Feng Qujian shouted again.

But he was not lazy in his diligence, and hurriedly asked Feng to go and talk carefully.

"Your Majesty, the students are making trouble again at this moment."

"Trouble again?" Ying Zheng stood up from the throne suddenly, a little displeased, the last time he made trouble about Li Zhao and Ershu, he was a little in the way, and here he is coming again, these students are full and have nothing to do.

"Troublemaker, if you are caught, you don't have to leave it to me."

He didn't want to be bothered by that anymore.

"Your Majesty, this is not good!" Feng hesitated.

"What's wrong with disturbing my pilgrims." Ying Zheng made a face, and after thinking about it, he still asked why he was making trouble.

Feng Quji sorted out his thoughts and replied: "Your Majesty, the students all know that the imperial examination questions are from the second book, so they look for books everywhere, but there is no trace of the second book in the whole Xianyang, and in desperation, they have to complain, and there are many complaints, which causes some people to follow the trend, and there is a lot of trouble. ”

"Oh, and that matter?" Ying Zheng understood, "What kind of big deal can this be, the second book is from Li Zhao, wouldn't it be possible to solve this matter by letting Li Zhao print more?" ”

Since the second book came out, such a peculiar production caused a sensation, and the emperor naturally heard about it, but the printing technology did not leak out, so he naturally heard its voice and did not hear it.

Ying Zheng didn't care much about this matter.

But Feng Quji was embarrassed, he didn't know how to respond, and his eyes were still aimed at Ying Zheng from time to time.

"If you have something to say, what kind of system will you become." Ying Zheng looked at the reprimand.

"No!" Feng Quji organized his language, but still seemed hesitant, "Your Majesty. Remember what happened before? Two books. It's been banned. ”

"What?" Ying Zheng turned his head violently, glanced at Feng Qujian deeply, and thought for a while before remembering this.

Indeed, there was really such a thing, when he asked his uncle and grandson to deal with it, the guy actually banned the second book, he didn't take it to heart at the time, but after learning that Li Zhao's intentions were good, the matter became tricky.

The ban on the second book is just that, as long as he wills it, it can be unsealed, but for the time being, he can't do this.

If he did this, it would only chill Li Zhao's heart.

Li Zhao worked hard to get the second book, just to train the students of the world, but the students of the world did not appreciate it, and also instigated the ban on the second book, the court really did it, and at this moment, the second book is useful, but the second book is lifted and the second book is released.

That is to say, when you don't need to kill, when you need to order you to make sacrifices for everyone, but anyone who encounters such a thing will not feel comfortable.

The same must be true of Li Zhao.

"Damn uncle and grandson, there is more than enough success and more failure."

"Also, there are rumors in the market that someone asked Shusun Tong why he wanted to ban the second book, and Shusun Tong said that it was His Majesty's will, and he didn't dare to disobey it."

Feng Qujian saw that His Majesty mentioned Shusun Tong, and immediately said.

"He said that?" Ying Zheng was so angry that he slammed his fist on the case, "It's really a treacherous person, Li Zhao is right." ”

At this moment, he had a murderous intention towards Shusun Tong, but he quickly suppressed it, in order to appease Li Zhao's heart, Shusun Tong couldn't die yet, which is why he didn't kill Shusun Tong last time.

And also...... Thinking of Iron Eagle's report, his face was extremely gloomy.

"Passing on the uncle and grandson......" He was about to speak, when the servant reported that there was an audience with the imperial history.

"Yushi, presumably for the sake of the second book! That's it! Let him in. ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and the waiter went to pick it up.

After the imperial history came to see the salute, he immediately admonished.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that it was His Majesty's will to ban the second book, and at this moment, the students complained greatly because they had no books to read, and the minister implored him to unseal it."

"Unblocked?" Ying Zheng's sharp gaze fell on Yu Shi, which shocked Yu Shi, but he was a righteous person, and he was ready to be given death when he met him on this trip.

"Exactly, now only Chang'an Township can have two books, but the two books are banned, they don't dare to do illegal things, and only His Majesty can solve all this by issuing an unsealing order."

"Do you know who did the ban on the second book?" Ying Zheng stared at the imperial history.

Yu Shi Zhengse said: "It is to wait for Dr. Zhao's uncle and grandson, but Uncle and grandson Tong are doing what they want, and they really have to do it." ”

He told what he had heard.

Ying Zheng was furious when he heard this, "Fart, I ordered him to deal with the student's troubles, but I didn't let him ban the second book." ”

"Oh!" Yu Shi listened to it and didn't dare to say anything more.

He didn't dare to question the emperor's words, but he felt very uncomfortable, thinking: Since you have made an order, people will definitely do it according to their own methods, can you blame others for banning the second book? It's not your fault.

But he didn't dare say it.

Ying Zheng no longer paid attention to him, beckoned to Shang Xin suddenly, and said sharply: "Uncle Xuan Sun Tong enters the hall." ”

"No!" Shang Xin went.

"Your Majesty." Feng Qujian saw that Shang Xin had gone away, so he approached Ying Zheng's side and asked puzzledly: "Uncle Sun Tong made such a big mistake and wronged His Majesty, why don't you just ask for the crime?" ”

"Directly asking? Hum! will only cheapen him. Ying Zheng glared sharply, his eyes seemed to be erupting with flames, "Do you know who did the burning of the classics in the eastern suburbs?" ”

Since he heard Li Zhao's heart, he immediately sent the Black Ice Observatory to investigate, and the results of the investigation made him even more angry.

After Uncle Sun Tong went to Chang'an Township to see that Chun Yuyue was blocked, he hated it very much, so he secretly ordered people to burn the classics in the eastern suburbs, which attracted students, and even instigated people to point the finger at Li Zhao, so that what happened later.

and that uncle and grandson li, who was also instigated by him, caused everyone's misunderstanding of Li Zhao to get deeper and deeper, which made him angry with Li Zhao and allowed his uncle to deal with the bookstall.

In this process, in fact, Li Zhao didn't do anything, so he became a big wrongdoer, and he was also sealed with two books.

As soon as he thought of this, he was furious, and he was even more ashamed of Li Zhao.

Feng Quji didn't answer, this matter is known to the world, why does the emperor still say this, he naturally won't talk nonsense.

"It's Uncle Sun Tong, not Li Zhao."

"Him?" Feng Quji was surprised.

Yu Shi was also very surprised, his brows furrowed, and he thought: The burning of the classics in the eastern suburbs was done by Shusun Tong, this doesn't mean that this fang was premeditated, and he also let His Majesty trust him step by step, and then let him deal with this matter, in fact, his purpose is to ban the second book?

Soon Yushi came up with a rough idea, Shusun Tong used a conspiracy to make His Majesty make an order, and His Majesty didn't know about it, so it wasn't His Majesty's fault.

For a while, he felt that he was being led by his uncle and grandson, and he almost blamed His Majesty and almost ruined himself.

"This son has ill intentions, that is, he wants to target Li Zhao, I want to ask him to blame, what does Li Zhao think?"

"Your Majesty means," Feng Qujian guessed something.

"The trouble he broke out will naturally be solved by him, if it can't be solved, it is ineffective, and the students will only point the finger at him, not the court."

Feng Qu listened to it, and after thinking about it, he was surprised, Your Majesty's move is wonderful.

An hour later, my uncle and grandson came to see him, and when he came in, he was uncomfortable and trembled. The emperor summoned him at this moment, and a man as wise as him would not know what was going on.

"Your Majesty!" Uncle Sun Tong knelt down and didn't dare to raise his head.

Ying Zheng didn't speak immediately, and suddenly his face turned blank, and his majesty spread out.

"Uncle Sun Tong, are you guilty?" After a few breaths, the emperor said slowly.

Uncle Sun Tong's head fell to the ground, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "The subordinate is guilty, the subordinate should not ban the second book, but the subordinate is also for the sake of the students of the world, please spare your life." ”

"For the sake of the students of the world? Since it was for the sake of the students, why did they burn the classics in the eastern suburbs and instigate the students to smash the bookstall and destroy the second book? ”

"Your Majesty. This..."When the uncle and grandson heard this, his heart trembled, and his words couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty has been wronged!" The subordinates didn't do this, it's all a misunderstanding! ”

"Misunderstanding? Are you blind or deaf? The whole world is my eyes and ears, why misunderstand? ”

Shusun Tong's body couldn't help but tremble, his back was covered with cold sweat, and his head was lowered.

Facing the emperor, I didn't know how to argue for a while.

Let people know that it is greasy at a glance.

"It's a capital offense, do you know?" Ying Zheng didn't deal with his meaning immediately, and walked over slowly, looking down.

"Subordinate ......"

"Humph! I still want to quibble. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes were so sharp.

Later, his expression slowly eased, and he couldn't give this fang to death at this moment, "Since the second book was banned by you, it caused a commotion among the students, I temporarily forgive your sins and order you to solve the matter of the second book immediately, otherwise, ...... You know the consequences. Ying Zheng suppressed his anger and finally did not ask for the guilt.

Uncle Sun Tong thought that he would die this time, and when he suddenly heard this, he was secretly happy, and hurriedly thanked him, "Your Majesty, your majesty will definitely handle this matter well, and the students will be stable." ”

"Go ahead! I want to see the results in three days. ”

"No! The subordinates will not fail in their mission. ”

Soon Uncle Sun Tong trembled and took the order away, and Feng Qujian became worried.

"Your Majesty, can he settle this matter?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a while and shook his head: "Can't!" "He knows Li Zhao's temperament, and he has been tricked like this, so it's strange that he is willing to agree to release the second book.

"Then Your Majesty will let him deal with it."

Ying Zheng's face sank, and he said sharply: "Don't ask more about this matter." ”

Feng Qujian immediately shut up.

"Imperial History!" Ying Zheng looked at the still kneeling Yushi.

Yushi hurriedly agreed.

"I don't blame you for your questioning just now, from now on, I order you to keep an eye on your uncle and grandson, and if there is anything suspicious, report it immediately."

"No! The minister will not fail in his mission. ”

Yushi's tense heart relaxed a little, and he hurriedly left.

After returning to the mansion, Shusun Tong immediately changed into a person, his face was extremely hideous, and he smashed things when he saw them.

"Damn, damn! How could His Majesty know about the fact that it is clearly leaking. ”

"The second book is a miscellaneous book, how can it be entered into the imperial examination all of a sudden, what is going on?"

"Li Zhao, you are hateful! Why did you break my leg, if not, I would not hold a grudge against you, I would not have come up with such a plan, and my majesty would not have found out. ”

He blamed Li Zhao for what happened today.

"Let me solve the problem of the second book? Isn't this asking me to resist the decree? Who in the world doesn't know that the second book was sealed by me, is Li Zhao willing to cooperate with the release of the second book? No way. ”

He is still self-aware.

"Yingzheng Lao'er, I didn't know about your little thoughts, didn't this let me send it to the door to relieve Li Zhao's anger, thus ruining my status in the eyes of students? You're so ruthless! What is the difference between this and the punishment of my sin? ”

Uncle Sun Tong was talking to himself, completely unaware that a person was slowly approaching, he realized it later, and quickly became vigilant, and asked, "Who?" ”

"Master, it's me!"

It was Dongzi, the scholar of Shusun Tong, who walked in and brought food and drink to his master.

"How did you end up here? You were eavesdropping? Uncle Sun Tong looked at his personal scholar vigilantly, and asked sharply.

"Huh!" Dongzi changed his previous submissiveness, became stiff, put down the food and drink suddenly, and arched his hand: "Master, don't be nervous, Dongzi is not an outsider, why be afraid?" ”

Uncle Sun Tong gritted his teeth, "Did Jia Xiong find you?" You are so presumptuous, did you take refuge in him? ”

Dongzi laughed, still giving up his hand, "The master is too worried, General Jia still doesn't look down on slaves, but he hopes that the master can sit down and talk." ”

"Talk? Don't you know what kind of heart he has in mind? Don't put this person in front of me in the future. ”

The more Uncle Sun Tong thought about it, the more angry he became, in fact, there was also Jia Xiong's shadow in planning the burning of classics, if it weren't for this person, he would not have fallen into such a passive field today.

"That's it! The master said this, and the slave would tell General Jia the truth. ”

"You? You? Shusun Tong pointed at Dongzi, so angry that he couldn't do it, but Dongzi didn't care, let alone tremble, just looked back and smiled, and walked out with a big swagger.

After a few breaths, he turned back again, squinted his eyes and said, "Oh yes, master, what you just said, the slaves all heard it, and the slaves will tell General Jia the truth." ”

"Of course, don't think about killing people, you don't know what I'm capable of."

Soon, Dongzi left, so angry that Uncle Sun Tong's body trembled.

"I don't know anyone!"

lamented for a while, but had to lower his head.

Jia Xiong has been looking for him for a day or two, just to talk about some things to win over, he is a great Confucian, how can he bend his waist for five buckets of rice, he has a backbone, so he has always refused, but he doesn't know that this fang bought his scholar, so that all his privacy is unreservedly leaked.

This time, he tried his best to step on Li Zhao, just to get His Majesty's appreciation, so as to get rid of this person's entanglement, but it was self-defeating.

"That's it! Ming'er will take a trip to Chang'an Township. ”

Zhangtai Palace, the main hall, only Yingzheng is dealing with government affairs, and suddenly a black shadow appears out of thin air, dressed in black, like a ghost in the day.

"You're here!"

"Hmm!" The person who came was Iron Eagle.

"Any more news?"

"Yes, Jia Xiong has made many appointments with his uncle and grandson recently, and Tie Ying suspects that the burning of classics in the eastern suburbs has something to do with him."

"Jia Xiong also wants to harm Li Zhao, is it that Jia Xiong was dissatisfied with Li Zhao after the rice incident last time, so he resented him?"

Iron Eagle didn't nod, and his deep eyes could be seen under the black cloth.

"Presumably it's not that simple, someone wants Li Zhao to die."

"Who?" Ying Zheng's face darkened.

"Iron Eagle hasn't been found out yet, but it should be soon."

"Check it out as soon as possible, it looks like some people are about to surface."

The conversation between the two was very vague, and after a while, the black shadow disappeared, leaving Yingzheng alone with a gloomy face, which was extremely ugly.
