Just as Zhao Xi had expected, the dispute over new and old policies triggered by a piece of paper became more and more intense, with no intention of stopping.

  Perhaps the old man is now cursing some scholar who has nothing better to do, making useless efforts, unable to do anything well, and must study the art of playing cuju.

  They've turned the imperial court into a mess.

  Zhao Xi he...he also didn't think it would be like this, who could have thought that at this time this person's ability to force connections was so profound.

  "This beast deserves to be executed!"

  The new policy is being implemented, and there are already countless obstacles. The officials in the imperial court have exhausted their minds and devoted themselves to the affairs of the country with all their might.

  Little did they know that this good thing would be used to create a new round of controversy in the imperial court, making it even more difficult for the new policy to move forward.

  Fan Zhongyan was furious and wanted to capture this person, cutting him into a thousand pieces.

  "Fan Xiang, this matter is suspicious. The paper is indeed the special use of Zisheng Hall, and the penmanship should be that of a veteran official who has served for many years. The yellowed paper quality suggests it's not from recent years. The cause needs to be investigated further."

  Han Qi also found it strange. The new policy did not involve the royal family's support, whether it was the King of Runan or the King of Beihai, there was no need to use a torn paper to provoke discussion on the new policy.

  Since it originated from Cishantang, we should start with Cishantang.

  This matter Zhao Xi still had omissions, and at this time he also knew that he didn't do a good job. Mainly because he didn't think about the big picture, it actually led to the new and old controversy on the imperial court.

  He just wanted to find something for this group of bear children, and then he could involve the big shots of both clans, so that his old man, the referee, could relax a bit in the clan.

  The intention was to pretend that it was a record from a distant past, otherwise he wouldn't have written it in clerical script and deliberately yellowed the paper.

  Unfortunately, the evolution of paper-making techniques over nearly a thousand years was overlooked, as was the special paper used by the Imperial Household's Zaisan-dō, and no one could have anticipated the current situation.

  Zhao Zhen had thought that on the following day at court, he would clarify the circumstances of the matter and also rebuke his two elder brothers for their rash behavior...

  The idea is good, but things are contrary to wishes. In the imperial court, there was nothing about Zongzheng Temple anymore, even King of Runan Zhao Yunrang and King of Beihai Zhao Yunyao were also stunned.

  The two of them just quietly hid to the side and listened... At this time, if they were to intervene, without a doubt, all the saliva would be spat in their direction. In the Great Song Dynasty, when would scholars care about their relatives?

  Fan Zhongyan thought about it yesterday and also felt that this matter was too suspicious. Although the imperial family had private connections with Shi Lin, no relatives would ever charge into battle because of court disputes.

  This time, what brings these two princes here again?

  After careful observation, it was found that these two troublemakers seemed to be quite depressed as well.

  But the official... several times wanted to speak but stopped, his eyes were fixed on his two cousins... was there another hidden situation?

  "Your Majesty, this matter originated from Cai Shantang. I think it would be best to move the imperial carriage to Cai Shantang to get to the bottom of things."

  Lao Fan still has some skills. Just as he said this, he noticed that the official relaxed, while the two princes were awkward... it seems there is indeed a hidden truth.

  What's going on in Zhongnanhai, those young people from Caishantang are definitely unclear about it, and the days will go by as they should.

  It was also because of the swollen face and nose that parents asked, and then told the adults at home in detail.

  As for what was said, it was naturally that I was completely right and the other party was completely wrong, and then handed over the IOU to my family.

  How could they have imagined that it would stir up such a big storm, so much so that the officials from the imperial court came to Caishantang for on-site office work.

  Zhao Xi didn't even leave his study today, no choice, things have blown up, he has to think of a way to make up for it.

  If he had known it would have such a great impact, he would have written the rules clearly from the start.

  The classics have never been clear, and it is unknown whether the words were created at that time or if the ancients were too lazy. In short, the meaning of a sentence depends on individual interpretation.

  Few words, no punctuation. This is convenient for Zhao Xi to be vague about football rules, but if he had known that it would cause trouble for his father and the new government, he would have spent more ink.

  Now, Zhao Xi is explaining bit by bit what is offside, what is fouls, how to calculate fouls, and how to calculate violations. No way, he hopes to spend some effort, try to drag the controversy onto the football field instead of the new policy controversy.

  As usual, the servants of the Beihai Wangfu and the Runan Wangfu were cheering on the sidelines, their shouting voices echoing throughout the entire Cishantang.

  And those princes were sweating profusely as they competed against each other.

  From you bumping me, I kicked you, and slowly it started with you pushing me, I tripped you, then it wasn't just a scuffle, it directly became a fight.

  It's the same today.

  A large crowd of people rushed to the Zishan Hall, and were first attracted by the shouting, and naturally came this way...

  This... a group of children with bare backs, have already made a mess.

  "Zong Yan, what is it that you are fighting about again?"

  The guards smiled and pulled the two children apart, one in each hand, and carried them over.

  The bear kids saw this situation... all like ostriches, hiding their heads with all their might.

  Zhao Zongshuo was considered the leader among them and was called out by his father Zhao Yun for questioning.

  What else can be done?

  "Dad, 16 fouled 15, according to the rules it's a foul, but 16 doesn't admit..."

  Everyone was stunned at sixteen fifteen.

  "Dad, it's not like that. Before 15, lifting his foot too high is a foul for stomping..."

  Think again about the piece of paper that caused the commotion in the imperial court these past few days. The officials' faces turned cold instantly.

  What's going on?

  It turned out that a group of his own ministers were arguing over the playful disputes of some children.

  This is the reason!

  Jia Changchao was furious! He thought that the King of Runan had come to offer peaches and plums, to launch a fierce attack on the new policies, but it turned out that this son only wanted to ask for the correct interpretation of the rules for his sons' amusement.

  Because of this debate, as a husband, he has already gone all out, and the final reason is actually this.

  No one is a fool, when they see this group of young masters fighting and mentioning the so-called Cuju rules, they all understand.

  Everyone stared at King Yunnan and King Beihai, at this time these two gentlemen really wanted to drill into the ground.

  At this point, there was no longer any dispute over new and old, only irritation after being played with.

  Scholars, not only are they respected by the entire Song Dynasty society, but they also consider themselves superior to others. As a result... they were arguing over this trivial matter for two days.

  Although the old and new disputes have always existed, they were triggered by a group of bear children's struggles, or the royal family's clan of waste sons, which seems to be an insult to them...

  Zi Shantang has now truly become a place for this group of trash to play with. This... what kind of dignity is this!

  Look around again at all the royal children gathered in a circle watching the commotion, one is missing... no, it seems like one is short.

  "Where is King Wuchang?"

  Wang Zhongzheng also watched the excitement, but when he saw the masters, this group of lower people hid far away... without the qualifications to get close.

  As a result, Han Qi asked questions, but surprisingly no one answered.

  "Zhōng zhèng..."

  "Returning to the official residence, all the gentlemen, the prince has not left the school yet, he is still warming up in the school."

  How would he know where Wang Ye is? Anyway, except for warming up books, Wang Ye has nothing to do here, and it's always right to say so.
