After a few days, the Education Act enforcement news spread throughout the Great Da Zhou Empire. However, some do not recognize the jurisdiction of the central government. But they also have spies regularly reporting the news of the capital.

To find out what the Mad Emperor was planning to do.

The Imperial Education Act, therefore, was only enforced in the capital. As for the other cities, as usual, they refused. Regardless of what the Cabinet has made, decree or law. The lords denied the existence of these laws. As if the law that was being never applied existed

However, there was one influential person in particular, which was the second prince. The First Prince and the Third Prince, who had received the news about the law, were both ignorant and acted as if nothing had happened. But that was not with the second prince's act.

The tea shop in Tsinghua City is a well-known shop for intellectuals. Who often sit and drink tea and discuss problems with the country

��This is a great disgrace to our," shouted a sage with a red face in anger. Until the teacup spilled over the table

"Here, we cannot delay. Let us persuade Pan Zhou to meet with the second prince." The intellectuals quickly persuaded the rest to meet with the second prince.

The enforcement of the Basic Education Act severely affected intellectuals. Zhao Lingxin's actions were a stepping stone to the lower limitations of these intellectuals.

Intellectuals use their own advantages to suppress the people. Knowledge is the unique advantage and ability of scholars. They could easily elevate their status as a nobleman. If they were allowed to have free education and free cost, they were terrified of the lower commoners taking over their positions.

Since ancient times, the intellectuals were the only people who could become nobles. And the rulers of the region needed to rely on these graduates to help run the country.

The rank of intellectuals is very high. The Education Act destroyed their advantage. If they continued this for more than ten years, Their position would have fallen to the ground. It was a matter that they did not want to meet.

In fact, the intellectuals in the capital submitted a petition through the emperor in protest. Unfortunately, Zhao Lingxin did not care at all, ordered the Secretariat to recycle the petition to make toilet paper.

The intellectuals in the capital, who saw the emperor ignore, suddenly lost their face. I want to teach this emperor that if the emperor lacks, then he cannot rely on anyone to manage the country. The intellectuals then gathered to leave the capital to join the second prince in Tsinghua City.

In the Prince's Mansion, the city's nobles and intellectuals sent representatives to consult with the Vice Prince.

Second prince Zhao Wu was full of smiling. Many days ago, many intellectuals came to pay homage to him. The graduates marched in the city, praising him for the righteousness to ascend to the throne as the next emperor.

Pan Zhou, who represented all of the intellectuals, spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet's Education Act is considered a violation of the royal ethics. We are destroying thousands of years of tradition until the end and causing chaos in the city. We want to inform His Majesty to help solve this problem. "

"Your Majesty, this matter affects our power. The intellectuals behind the power will not remain indifferent. If we don't do something, They will keep pressure. Waiting for us to take action." Qingqian Governor of Qinghua The heir of the famous Kong family

The Kong family can be traced back for thousands of years. After the fall of the human empire, The Martial Artists took over the Great Yan Huang Continent. The patriarch of the Kong family Brought the intellectuals to establish a foothold in the east, established Qinghua City in Da Zhou.

As a hope that the light of wisdom shines through the world without extinction, since that time, Qingzhou City has become a holy land for all intellectual pilgrims. Pay respect to their teachers.

Therefore, the Kong family's identity and status in Qinghua City were even higher than those of the city. And there is a custom to raise the governor to the head of the Kong family, Which is a tradition for thousands of years.

When Kong Qian spoke, Zhao Wu needed to pay more attention.

"We have already taken some action. I have relied on the status of the prince to file a petition to the Secretariat, hoping to convince the emperor to repeal this law," Zhao Wu said.

Pan Zhou put his hand on his forehead. Although known as having intelligence, the second prince specializes in the art such as chess, painting, harp, and poetry. Political abilities are incredibly inexperienced. The only advantage of the Second Prince was that they were still very supportive.

On a single sheet of paper alone, he would not be able to convince the Imperial Palace Emperor to repeal the law. Requires their intervention

"His proclamation would not be able to modify anything. We need to intervene violently, forcing the emperor to withdraw this decree," Pan Zhou said.

"So, what can we do, Master Pan Zhou, please tell me?" Zhao Wu asked, returning to Pan Zhou.

Pan Zhou immediately realized the meaning of this sentence. He was speechless. Because the power base of the second prince came from a group of civilians and sages, there was no military force at all. However, they tried to interfere with the rise to power of the emperor.

There was still no progress with a plan for the Seven Major Sects to take action even after several months. To blame that the Five Elements Sect was too far from Great Da Zhou, they were so slow.

At that moment, Kong Qian, The Lord of Qinghua, said a sentence.

"Second Prince, I think it's time now."

Zhao Wu turned to look at Kong Qian, waiting for his next speech.

When Pan Zhou listened to the meaning of this sentence, his eyes lit up.

"Master Kong Qian, your meaning is that time has arrived, right?"

Pan Zhou asked Kong Qian whether the other person had the same opinion as himself or not.

"Yes, it is time for us to stand up and fight seriously. We must recruit all 11 cities under our jurisdiction against the Shenzhou imperial court. "

Speaking of this sentence, like lightning entered the middle of the meeting room. Many of the nobles in the room began to speak with joy.

"His words were reasonable. We cannot intervene in the capital. We need to build up an army to persuade the emperor to talk about it."

Many nobles began to look excited if the Second Prince took the initiative to build an army. This means the battle for the throne has completely unfolded. If the second prince wins the war, this time, Their position in the royal court was almost stable.

"I would like to support establish an army this time," one nobleman said

"The Second Prince is full of intelligence Holding righteousness from heaven The establish of the second prince's army was full of reasons," said one sage.

"The Zhou family would like to deliver financial resources to support the Second Prince to establish an army," said the family representative.

Representatives of the rest of the intellectual family had already begun to voice their support.

"The Kong family would like to support the Second Prince to prepare supplies and grass."

Kong Qian said.

"The Ma family sent iron ores and craftsmen to make weapons and armor," said the Ma family representative.

After that, all clans began to scramble to deliver vital resources for the army to establish. Which Zhao Wu received this help with a smiling face

"I thank you by the royal family. I promise you all fairness," Zhao Wu thanked everyone.

Forming an army requires vast budgets. The help from a large family was indispensable.

However, the large family did not give these things to the prince free of charge. They all have the right to talk about the military. In appointing a person to a position in the army to intervene in the battle planning process, These powers were the things that a large family had dreamed of but could not intervene.

But the newly formed army of the Second Prince was different. They could quickly intervene in an army designation. In exchange for giving financial resources to the second prince, the nobles and large families had already divided the army's cake.

"Our Prince, we still need to seek help from outside," Pan Zhou, who specializes in diplomacy, made an offer to the Second Prince.

Zhao Wu asked in doubt.

"What is your opinion, Pan Zhou?"

"Last time, we had a plan to intervene by the Seven Major Sects. But it's not working, two months have passed, and they haven't acted yet. Let us find a partner outside the province," explains Pan Zhou.

One of the nobles, who had heard this, showed signs of dissatisfaction.

"Pan Zhou, do you plan to cooperate with foreigners to intervene in Da Zhou?"

All the nobles did not like the provinces to mess with their respective territories. They were not satisfied with Pan Zhou's words.

"Do you think that alone with our army can win the civil war like that? You have forgotten the hundreds of thousands of the Great Prince's army, right? The famous military commander, the talented advisor, were all in the army of the First Prince. Do not forget this fact for you. "

Everyone was silent. They forgot hundreds of thousands of armies. Even if they rebuild a military, they could not resist the First Prince's skilled army.

"So we embody envoys, let's go get help from other countries. Pan Zhou, when do you plan to go to make an ambassador to Da Yi?" Zhao Wu asked.

"I didn't say that I would send an ambassador to Dayi," Pan Zhou shook his head.

"Or are you referring to Da Lian?" Zhao Wu asked curiously because the regions closest to them were only these two regions. If it weren't for Da Yi, it was only Da Lian County that could reach out to help.

"I was thinking of sending an envoy to Da Tang," Pan Zhou said, and a loud buzz sounded all over the meeting room because Pan Zhou's answer was what they thought was impossible and never expected.
