Yes, I am a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam. I just finished the exam and lived in the hometown association hall, waiting for the imperial court to announce the results.

As soon as the memory floated, the door was rudely pulled away. Dang Shining walked over with anger and said to Zhou Tunan: "Tunan, when is it time? Can you still sleep?"

He Meiqing, Qu Shijin and others were following him, all of whom were angry.

Zhou Tunan was slightly stunned: "What happened?"

He Meiqing said angrily: "Are you stupid? Then Li Er, Hefei, despite the great conspiracy of the world, signed conditions with the Japanese and sold the country!"

As soon as he said that, more memories poured into Zhou Tunan's mind.

Yes, this year is the year of Sino-Japanese War. The imperial court was defeated in a battle with the Japanese and was almost captured by the Japanese.

In desperation, he had to use Li Er, the governor of Zhenbei, as an envoy, to negotiate with the Japanese. He signed a treaty to compensate 200 million taels of silver and cede large tracts of territory.

The news came back to the capital, and the court was not doing well yet, and these young scholars were in a bad mood first!

Even Zhou Tunan suddenly felt an indescribable anger poured into his heart!

However, he sighed, "The court is incompetent, nothing can I do!"

Qu Shijin immediately said dissatisfiedly: "How can this matter be said to be the incompetent court? It is clearly the incompetent Li Er!

After all, Li Er is the governor of Zhenbei, holding the navy army in his hand, but he started a war with the Japanese, but he was careless and did not take any precautions. This was the failure so miserable that even the capital's gates were opened..."

Speaking of this, I was so angry that I couldn't continue!

"Then Li Er is the governor of Zhenbei, with the so-called largest naval fleet in Asia and a new army known as the 30th year of birth and raising.

As a result, this virtue was destroyed by the water and land, and it did not cause any loss to the Japanese.

Over the years, the court has allocated how much money and grain, and how much tax the people have contributed to support his army... Li Er should really kill him!" He Meiqing also said angrily.

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "The court will not kill Li Er, but also rely on the relationship between Li Er and foreigners to mediate!

It is even possible that a hundred years later, many people will even overturn the verdict for Li Er, saying that Li Er endured humiliation and compromised the whole story, and felt heartbroken by Li Zhongtang!"

As he said this, a mockery arises.

There are always idiots who will think that Li Zhongtang is completely taking the blame for the court, so they signed the stolen agreement.

However, I didn't think about who killed the pot!

You should know that whether it is the Beihai Navy or the New Army, it is basically equivalent to his semi-private army.

If this person had not been determined to preserve his strength, he would not want to go to war with the Japanese, and would have become lucky. Without making any preparations for the war, how could he be defeated so tragically...

Dang Shining was furious and said, "It's time, I still care about him, Li Er, and Li Er.

Then Li Er signed the treason agreement, and we will never agree. Just now, Master Hu had contacted us and petitioned the court together to refuse this agreement!”

Zhou Tunan felt tired and said, "It's useless! The capital's doors are open, and the court has no power to resist.

The Japanese can enter the capital at any time... It's like being hit by a gun with a gun on your chest? There is no way out except signing a contract!"

Dang Shining said anxiously: "How can there be no way out? We can ask the court to refuse peace, move the capital, reorganize the army, reform the law, and fight with the Japanese again!"

Zhou Tunan smiled with a hint of sarcasm and said, "The people of Jing are facing a big country with small clans, and their rule is weak. The court dared not leave the capital. Once they leave the capital, their rule will be shaken."

Qu Shijin said, "Five years later, didn't Lao Fu just escape from the capital? How could he be fine?"

Zhou Tunan glanced at him: "How do you know what happened five years later?"

Even though I said so, I did not feel any doubt, and I felt a natural feeling.

Zhou Tunan said calmly: "Five years later, the old witch fled out of the capital with the emperor. Governors of the five southeastern provinces, do you see who sent troops to support the king?

And they didn’t have an alliance to protect each other? Which dynasty or generation is placed in, isn’t it much like creating a rebellion?”

Dang Shining was a little angry and said, "Do you go or not? Why do you have to say anything sarcastic about it here!"

Zhou Tunan sighed lightly and said, "Go! That's naturally to go. Some things are useless. However, they still need to do it!

But I have to make a big fuss and find more students to sign together!"

Dang Shining and others said happily: "Tunan, you are the wisest among us. Before the war began, you predicted that Li Er would be defeated.

Now I will rely on you to preside over this matter!"

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "I'm here to host it? I'm afraid that Mr. Haibin won't be happy!"

Even though he said this, everyone still took action, connected and signed the emperor's letter and petitioned the court.

For a time, the juren from the 18 provinces responded, and more than 1,200 people signed a petition, preparing to petition the court, which was quite powerful.

However, at this moment, Zhou Tunan and Hu Haibin had the first head-on conflict.

"Zhou Tunan, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to threaten the Lord?"

2 Conflict

Hu Haibin looked at Zhou Tunan with anger and said, "Do you run to the palace gate to petition? Are you planning to threaten the emperor?"

Zhou Tunan smiled calmly and said, "You said we are petitioning, so why bother with threats?"

Besides, what are you doing when we petition? Can the envoys of the Censorate decide whether to sign a peace agreement?"

But when the students signed the letter, Zhou Tunan and Hu Haibin had a conflict over the petition location.

According to Hu Haibin's wishes, everyone went to the gate of the Censorate and handed the letter to the Censorate, and then the envoy of the Censorate was transferred to the emperor.

However, as soon as Zhou Tunan came up, he wanted to take everyone to the main entrance of the palace, that is, the Qing Gate to petition.

This triggered a serious conflict between the two!

"No, you are not a problem-solving attitude. You are trying to intensify the conflict!"

Hu Haibin said angrily: "The purpose of our letter is not to oppose the court.

The so-called refusal to reconcile the capital, and training troops are just a temporary solution to respond to the enemy. The real purpose is to get the court to agree to the reform!

Anyway, I will never agree to your reckless and impulsive behavior!

Besides, have you ever thought about it? If so many scholars are angry with the court for your reckless actions. What if you can't become a Jinshi?"

These words made the faces of the large number of candidates change their colors and subconsciously agreed with Hu Haibin.

They all came to Beijing to take the exam, and their grades were about to come down.

At such a critical moment, it would be no good to really anger the emperor and delay the future!

When Zhou Tunan saw this, he smiled sarcastically: "That's whatever you want! If your reform can succeed, I will take off my shoes and eat them!"

After saying that, he sneered and left.
