In the third issue of "New Youth" magazine, after the sales of more than 10 million were reported, the industry was in an uproar, and soon there was a chain reaction. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A lot of things can be connected, and once that ripple effect happens, the consequences can be dire.

Sima Guang now experienced this feeling.

Originally, although Gao Daquan defeated Zhao Mobai in terms of attendance, in Sima Guang's opinion, it was not a big deal.

It's just a victory over a nobody.

But later, the pursuit of "The Outer History of Confucianism" by celebrities in Kyushu made Sima Guang vigilant.

But at this time, he was powerless, because he couldn't threaten any of these people who spoke out.

After the sales of "New Youth" magazine came out, Sima Guang's heart was cold.

What "The Outer History of Confucianism" says, he knows better than others.

And once the world accepts the recognition of "The Outer History of Confucianism", he is also very clear about what serious consequences will be caused.

The day after the third issue of the magazine "New Youth" was published, Sima Guang was engaged in official business in the political affairs hall.

The atmosphere in the entire political hall was extremely depressing, because in ten days, it would be the day of the imperial examination, but so far, the number of applicants has been at least half less than in previous years.

Originally, the ten days before the start of the exam was the peak period for registration, but the number of registrations in the past two days has been getting lower and lower day by day, and there is no intention of going up.

If this trend is followed, this year's imperial examination will definitely be the one with the smallest number of applicants.

This is very embarrassing for Sima Guang, who is the chief examiner.

The other officials in the political hall were very careful not to touch Sima Xianggong's moldy head as much as possible.

Although Sima Xianggong's self-cultivation is very high, Sima Xianggong has been angry more than once in the past two days.

Obviously, this incident caused him a lot of pressure.

However, not everyone is afraid of Sima Guang.

There is a person who came to uncover Sima Xianggong's scar today.

Cai Jing came to the political hall leisurely, and saw that Sima Guang was already handling government affairs, and couldn't help but praise: "Sima Xianggong is really diligent in government, and he is worthy of being a virtuous minister on whom the official family depends." ”

Sima Guang glanced at Cai Jing and was extremely disgusted in his heart.

Back then, Cai Jing never dared to be presumptuous in front of him.

Now it's rampant.

It's a pity that in the thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river, feng shui takes turns.

Sima Guang could only cheer up and deal with Cai Jing: "Cai Xiang is too famous, the old man can't compare to Cai Xiangzhizhu, so he can only work harder from diligence." ”

Cai Jingle stroked his beard and smiled: "Sima Xianggong is still so modest, then again, this year's imperial examination is coming, and Sima Xianggong should also divert his attention in a timely manner." Don't patronize the handling of government affairs and delay the scientific examination, this is also a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood. ”

Sima Guang's face turned a little dark, this old fox still showed his fox tail.

But it can't be helped, if you don't do it well, you don't do it well.

Sima Guang could only stubbornly say: "Don't worry about Cai Xiang, the process of the scientific examination has been formulated, and when the time comes, just go directly to the process, and there will be no accidents." ”

"Really?" Cai Jing pretended to be surprised and said, but the expression was fake.

After a pause, Cai Jing said to himself: "But how can I hear someone privately say that the number of people who apply for the imperial examination this year is very small? ”

Sima Guang wanted to stab Cai Jing to death.

Damn, I don't believe that you and Gao Daquan didn't communicate in private.

However, officialdom is such a hypocritical place, and in the face of the enemy, you have to break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, killing each other with your eyes and words.

"There are indeed some accidents this year, but this phase will deal with it, so I won't bother Cai Xiang, after all, the chief examiner of this session is this phase. Sima Guang accentuated his tone.

The subtext is nothing more than that, look at your identity, are you qualified to take care of my affairs?

Cai Jing didn't seem to hear it, but replied with a smile: "Of course, the chief examiner must be Sima Xianggong, and if he does a good job, he will definitely give Sima Xianggong a great credit, but if it can't be done...... Hehehe......"

After Cai Jing said this, he left with a smile, leaving Sima Guangtie standing in place with a blue face.

The scribes on the side were all frightened, and the confrontation between these two ministers was really shocking to watch.

"Sima Xianggong?" someone asked boldly.

Sima Guang shook his sleeves, threw down a sentence and left.

"The prime minister went to see the officials, you all perform your duties, don't panic. ”

was forced to this job, and Sima Guang had no choice but to find his own backer.

Passive defense and active attack, the difficulty is not on one level.

Sima Guang was very tired, and he hoped that the official family could give him a little support.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed again.

Zhao Qingying looked at Sima Guang, and she was also very helpless.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, when Gao Daquan and Ercheng opened the altar to give lectures, I once promised Gao Daquan in public to make him the principal of Taixue, and no matter what the circumstances, I will not change this order. Speaking of this, Zhao Qingying said in a resentful tone: "This guy has been calculating since that time. ”

So much so that now, as the son of heaven of a country, she can't help a white cloth under her rule.

What a ridiculous thing.

Sometimes Zhao Qingying really hates Mrs. Zhao ~ Zu and Zhao Taizong, if these two people can be a little more courageous, why would the Zhao royal family live so aggrieved?

If it were to be changed to another state, Gao Daquan would have been clicked by the emperor a long time ago.

That is, in the south of the Yangtze River, Gao Daquan can flourish.

Throughout Kyushu, I have never seen a royal family with less power than the Zhao and Song royal families.

Seeing that the official family had no choice, Sima Guang's heart was completely cold.

Could it be that his reputation for a lifetime will be ruined in the hands of Gao Daquan, a descendant?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

A flash of firmness flashed in Sima Guang's eyes, gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Sima Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Qingying was a little puzzled.

Sima Guang said: "The official family, this year's imperial examination must not fail. If it fails, it will give people a handle, and when Cai Jingquan leans towards the government and the opposition, he is tall and famous all over the world, and I believe that the official family will definitely not want to accept such a thing. ”

"Of course Lone doesn't want to accept it, but what does this have to do with you kneeling?" asked Zhao Qingying.

In the Great Song Dynasty, courtiers rarely needed to kneel, and they lived with dignity.

"The minister arrogantly wants to go to Taixue to be a lecturer in person, and reveal the exam questions for the Taixue ~ students. I don't dare to deceive the officials, so I ask for permission. Sima Guang was also out of the way.

Zhao Qingying was shocked.

If this matter gets out, it will be an out-and-out scandal.

But on second thought, if the number of applicants for this year's imperial examination was less than half of last year's, it would be a big joke.

Sima Guang was also forced to be helpless, so he could only make dangerous moves.

If you don't succeed, you become a benevolent.
