After Fang Zheng tried to persuade him, Zhang Dongxiang calmed down a lot.

Especially when I heard him say the words "great hero", I actually felt a little secretly happy in my heart.

However, he still said seriously: "You say it's easy, how can it be so easy to do it?"

Fang Zhengyi said with a smile: "You are right if you believe me! I own a newspaper office, how can I lie to you?"

"People are usually not stupid individually, but together they lose their brains!"

"He has to believe whatever the court says! If he doesn't believe it once, he has to say it twice more! If others believe it, he will believe it. Do you believe it or not? Do you believe the newspaper said that cow urine can cure diseases and there are still people who drink it?"

Zhang Dongxiang completely calmed down and said speechlessly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"This is the only plan for now. I will write a report immediately and report it to the court. There is no need to issue any more stamps."

"There will be candidates leaving the venue in two days. At that time, the candidates with the lowest number will be reorganized into dormitories. I will take full responsibility for this matter."

"Please go and make a list for me..."

Hmm... Just say no earlier. It has caused so many troubles. When you are old, you just can't listen to reason!

Fang Zheng put up a smile and approached Zhang Dongxiang's ear: "Third uncle, this is a trivial matter, so don't be polite."

"Why are you so close to me?" Zhang Dongxiang stared at Fang Zhengyi warily.

I always have an inexplicable feeling that something is wrong, but I can't pinpoint where exactly.

Fang Zheng rubbed his hands and said shyly: "We are like grasshoppers on a rope now... You can't impeach me."

"Go, go, go!"

.............

Zhang Dongxiang was very anxious, fearing that his behavior would become more serious.

The memorial was drafted immediately, and the content naturally fully accepted Fang Zhengyi’s opinions.

However, I thought about it several times and added a few suggestions that would benefit the candidates. After polishing it, I quickly sent someone to spread it to the palace.

Although the speed was very fast, it was already afternoon when they were sent to the palace.

Liu Er, the civil servant on duty outside the cabinet office, ran to Li Yansong as soon as he received the memorial.

At this moment, he held the memorial in both hands and said respectfully to Li Yansong: "Mr. Li...this is the urgent memorial sent by Mr. Zhang!"

Others in the public room looked sideways.

Li Yansong was shocked and quickly took the memorial and read it carefully.

Zheng Qiao, who was not far away, stood up and walked to the opposite side of Li Yansong, full of curiosity.

After a while, I finished reading the memorial.

Li Yansong raised his head, holding the memorial in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.

Seeing his appearance, Zheng Qiao asked curiously: "Mr. Li... what's the big deal?"

Li Yansong handed over the memorial silently, and Zheng Qiao read it carefully.

After reading it, Zheng Qiao raised his head, holding the memorial in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.

"Mr. Li...why didn't I understand it? What's said here is quite good, but the exam has already started. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry? I thought it was some big deal."

Li Yansong pinched his chin and frowned: "Yeah...it doesn't seem to be an emergency, but what does he mean when he said that the influence of the Banshan newspaper report has expanded?"

Zheng Qiao was speechless: "It seems like Banshan Daily... You haven't applied for the imperial examination in the past two days, right? Liu Er! What did you write in today's Banshan Daily?"

Almost everyone in the cabinet has the habit of reading newspapers.

Sometimes the princes would not read the newspapers themselves, so when they were busy, they would order others to read the newspapers. Liu Er was a proficient reader.

Be familiar with the content of each daily newspaper.

Liu Er immediately said loudly: "A couple in the south of the city bought the number one ticket, dreaming of winning two thousand taels, but they got into a fight over the uneven distribution of the spoils."

"A beggar from Banshanfang has been begging with his whole family for three months. He bought a house in Changmingfang yesterday and has been arrested and brought to justice."

"A doctor in Changshoufang disclosed the ancestral secret recipe for treating bedwetting: mix it with hot rice and mix it with the bedwetting area. Don't let the patient know about it. Feed it to the patient. Some people laughed in front of him and said: Mix it with human urine. It would be better to let the patient know that the effect would be better.

Well, the doctor was so angry that he fought with the man, and both of them are now in jail..."

After reading through the whole article, none of it was related to the imperial examination, and the two of them were full of doubts.

What's the matter without the imperial examination...Why is Mr. Zhang so anxious to adjust the rules of the examination room? Can't he say no after the examination? It's not a big deal, and he specifically wants to report it to His Majesty...

"That's all! Since he went out of his way to explain it in the Gongyuan, it means that the situation is special. Please report it to His Majesty immediately!"

After saying that, the two hurried to the Yangxin Hall.

...

In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Jing read the memorial, looked at the two of them, and hesitated: "Is there anything special about this memorial? Why is it so urgent?"

Zheng Qiao and Zhang Dongxiang both looked embarrassed.

If you ask me, I don’t know!

I want to abolish the shit stamp out of nowhere...just abolish it! It's not a big deal, and it has explained so many disadvantages. Is it necessary?

Why would he care so much about this kind of thing now? He's not a candidate... Could it be that he couldn't hold back during the exam and revisited his old place and remembered the sad past?

The two of them didn't know how to answer for a while. In the end, Li Yansong was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I don't understand either."

"What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, but...it doesn't seem that urgent..."

Emperor Jing lowered his head and glanced twice, and said calmly: "I saw that the Banshan newspaper reported this matter, and the people are quite dissatisfied."

"But is there any news about the imperial examination in Banshan Daily today?"

"No!"

Emperor Jing paced and thought carefully: "I know, Master Zhang probably bought that kind of wild newspaper outside."

"I heard that many people privately print newspapers with complicated and all-encompassing contents, and some even pretend to be regular newspapers... Maybe he bought this kind of newspaper."

"It's really ridiculous. We should send troops to investigate and deal with it strictly!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zheng Qiao and Li Yansong saluted together, now they understood.

This should be what His Majesty said, after reading some messy tabloid... This is only reasonable!

"Then, Your Majesty, what do you think of handling this memorandum?"

Emperor Jing took the memorial and patted it twice on his hand, and sighed: "Master Zhang is still worried about such a thing at his age! He is really eager for justice and righteous."

"The advice is very thoughtful, but there are some unreasonable things in the examination room! This memorial was slightly modified and then copied to Di Bao! The Gongyuan Academy in the capital can adjust it as appropriate, and the remaining examination rooms will start from the next imperial examination. There is no clear evidence of suspected plagiarism.

The examiner should read the test paper thoroughly and not relax!"

"Allocate a sum of money from local government treasury to renovate toilets in Gongyuan to avoid affecting the candidates."

Emperor Jing paused when he said this: "Guo Banban, go and investigate those who manipulate the seats of the candidates. Those who violate the rules will be exiled to the frontier."

"We will make a plan and give Zhang Dongxiang a hundred pieces of brocade. Let's go to the Gongyuan first to announce the decree."

After saying that, he looked at Li Yansong and asked: "Do you have anything else to do, masters?"

The two of them saluted again: "Nothing's wrong, Your Majesty is wise!"
