Seeing Mr. Songshan's reputation rising, he felt a bit anxious.
It's like being a scholar in the same year, where others passed as rank-holders but he did not.
Therefore, he planned to strive to gain the favor of Prince Qi.
"To Prince Qi, it has been said since ancient times, when peace is approaching, the road of speech is open; when chaos is nearing, it is obstructed. This issue is significant, and I am willing to give it a try. But to whom should we submit our petitions?"
Prince Qi indeed looked over and asked, "What insights do you have?"
Lin Ziqi immediately replied respectfully, "I dare not claim great insight. I am studying at the Imperial College and preparing for next year's civil exams. Many present are from different schools, and submitting names jointly to each respective academic official is quite difficult."
Submitting separately is tantamount to not submitting at all.
This was hard to say, but everyone understood.
