There is no more suitable candidate than Xu Guangqi, he is a jinshi, served as a scholar, translated geometric originals, entered Catholicism, has a deep understanding of Western philosophy, is a precedent for Sino-Western exchanges, and even compiled the complete book of agricultural administration, which coincides with Zhu Youxiao's idea of dividing the fields, stabilizing the peasants, and expanding agricultural output.

And his current status is because of Zhu Youxiao's appreciation, and he is promoted to the position of second assistant, this rhythm is more than ten years earlier than in history, and in less than two years, there will be a position of first assistant waiting for him.

Chinese people have always judged heroes by success or failure, Xu Guangqi can come to this position, no matter how many people in the Imperial Daily secretly scold him in the Shilin at this moment, but in terms of status, he is the top, and just now, with the support of Zhu Youxiao, he has printed the complete book on agricultural politics and distributed it all over the world, and he is not bad academically.

Either way, Xu Guangqi is the most suitable.

"It seems that this heavy responsibility has to fall on Aiqing's head!" Zhu Youxiao smiled, found the next home, he was a lot more relaxed.

"Huh?" Xu Guangqi was stunned, not knowing why.

"I have decided to re-edit and annotate the Confucian classics, and this burden will be handed over to Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao said proudly, "Xu Aiqing is the positive, Feng Aiqing is the ......."

"Your Majesty, such a grand event, how can there be no old ministers, Feng Zhangyuan is busy with affairs, and he also has to contact Western missionaries, train translation talents, and translate Western works, so it will not bother Feng Zhangyuan, and the deputy position of revision can be handed over to the old minister."

Just as Zhu Youxiao was about to determine the candidate, a voice hurriedly came from outside the door, interjected, interrupting the emperor's words, and then, a tall and straight old man with a halberd walked in.

"The old minister offended Tianyan, and asked His Majesty to forgive him." As soon as the old man came in, he knelt down and confessed his mistake.

Liu Ruoyu, who was standing beside the emperor, wanted to scold, but when he saw his face clearly, he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

The old man who came was none other than Sun Chengzong, known as the emperor's teacher, who had accompanied the emperor since he was five years old, and was the governor of His Majesty's henchmen and humerus, Sun Chengzong.

"How could it be him, it's really unlucky." Feng Congwu saw the person clearly, and scolded angrily in his heart. Now his good deeds have been messed up.

If it was someone else, Feng Congwu was afraid that he would have to fight at this time, but he was extremely trusted by His Majesty, and Sun Chengzong, the governor of the whole army, did not dare to take the lead at all.

He is one of the few people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can suppress him.

If the wheel of academics, Feng Congwu does not need to ask the other party, but in terms of status, power, the emperor's trust, Shilin prestige, and even the connections in Confucianism, he is not as good as the other party.

Under such circumstances, how dare he fight!

However, he did not give up with the flow of the boat, but secretly hoped in his heart, hoping that His Majesty would not change his mind and hand over this deputy editor-in-chief of the Confucian classics to himself.

A Yongle canon, so that Xie Jin's name has been passed down through the ages, but the other scholars who participated in the revision have been covered with halos, and there is no movement in the pen and pen Danqing, and the same is true for the revision of the Confucian classics this time.

Feng Congwu didn't dare to fight because of his power, but he put his hope on the emperor's body, looking at it eagerly, his face full of expectation.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao's reaction was destined to disappoint him.

"Sun Aiqing is here, come here, sit down." Zhu Youxiao said happily, without the slightest annoyance from being interrupted, if it was someone else, he would definitely scold, but if it was Sun Chengzong, it would be nothing.

After this interruption, he also reflected at this time that the importance of this revision is, to a certain extent, still on top of the Yongle Canon, after all, the Yongle Canon is only used to see and show off, but the Confucian classics are different, that is to be promulgated all over the world and let thousands of students learn.

If you can inject your own thoughts into it, then you really ....... be the teacher of all the people in the world! Such a choice is placed in front of him, and no Confucian disciple will let it go.

It is no wonder that Sun Chengzong didn't care about the emperor's punishment and directly interrupted His Majesty's appointment. Once appointed, it will be difficult for him to speak, and now that the appointment is still an exit, then there is room for turnaround.

"Why is Aiqing here?" Zhu Youxiao asked, he was very strange, how could Sun Chengzong rush to hear the news.

"Haha, it's better to come early than to come by chance, the old minister heard that His Majesty was sitting with Xu Dongge and discussing, discussing the national talent ceremony, the old minister also has some important things here, so he cleaned it up, and after two thoughts, he discussed it with His Majesty and Xu Dongge, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard such a good thing, and revised the Confucian classics, how could His Majesty forget the old minister." Sun Chengzong explained with a smile on his face.

He was really glad that he had come to the emperor today, otherwise good things would have fallen into other people's bowls.

"Since Aiqing is interested, I am not stingy, I plan to rewrite the Confucian classics, set the name, establish orthodoxy, and Confucianism in the future, based on this, since Aiqing is interested, then for the deputy editor-in-chief, and Xu Aiqing will work together to do a good job in this grand event." Zhu Youxiao was not stingy, and directly gave the position he wanted to give Feng Congwu just now to Sun Chengzong.

For him, Sun Chengzong's important line is much greater than Feng Congwu's, since he wants the humerus of his henchman, then he will not give it to others. This is the consideration of the emperor's mental tricks, a mentally handicapped minister of military power, who likes literary names, this is what all emperors want, they will only be satisfied, not hindered.

Sun Chengzong was satisfied with this announcement, but Feng Congwu was extremely disappointed, seeing an opportunity to leave a name in history and shake the past and the present in front of him, he slipped away like this, making him uncomfortable and want to die.

It's just that in the face of the two most powerful people in the entire Ming Dynasty, he didn't have the courage to raise any objections, and he didn't even dare to have any dissatisfaction. Don't look at him as an academician of Hanlin, he has a good grade, but in front of power, he has no effect at all.

However, he didn't dare to say it in person, but Feng Congwu recorded this incident in his notes after the meeting, and it was not discovered by his grandchildren until Zhu Youxiao died for decades, which became a big sensation in the Ming literary world, and also put some stains on Sun Chengzong's reputation.

It also made the Sun and Feng families turn against each other and become enemies for generations.

However, among some of the people who attacked the Sun family with this, they often secretly said, no wonder Governor Sun had the cheekiness to snatch this errand back, looking at the status of the Sun family now, it is really worth it!

Of course, these are future events, and no one here knows that after seeing that the emperor has determined the candidate and has no one, Feng Congwu retired with a good acquaintance.

Zhu Youxiao didn't keep him, and let him go, after all, in a way, Feng Congwu was an outsider and was not suitable to participate in this kind of core discussion.

"For the revision of the Four Books and the Five Classics, I have some requirements." Seeing that unrelated people left, Zhu Youxiao began to explain the basic rules that need to be followed.

The most basic thing is to reinterpret Shinong industry and commerce, redefine some traditional concepts, and unify interests and morality.

And then there are others, what goes into the spirit, what the spirit of exploration, humility and kindness, revenge with straightforwardness, and so on, a whole bunch of balabala, and finally, any loss must be written in the vernacular, and then handed over to the emperor for seeing, and the emperor can only pass it if he approves it.

Although Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong were angry when they heard these countless requests, they were not incomprehensible when they thought that His Majesty wanted to promote natural science and eliminate ills.

When the requirements are understood, what is left is endless excitement, this is an opportunity for the Taoist inheritance of Yi Ding, which means that the future development direction of Confucianism is in the hands of the two of them, what kind of classics they compile, then what will Confucianism be like in the future.

What is this status?

Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi, probably such a status, even Mr. Yangming, who was praised by others in the past, is inferior to the two of them in terms of Confucianism.

"So, can you and the other two understand the burden on your body?" After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao took a breath and asked seriously.

"The old minister understands that the ministers will live up to His Majesty's trust, and they must do a good job of cultivating and screening, and set a Confucian orthodoxy that conforms to His Majesty's wishes." The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"That's fine." Zhu Youxiao nodded, "If this matter is done beautifully, I still have a book repair thing for the two of you to do, a book repair event like the Yongle Grand Ceremony!" ”

In order to let the two of them do their best, Zhu Youxiao spent a big cake again, and made Xu and Sun breathe rapidly.

And ah!

They asked later, but when they saw that the emperor waved his hand and did not talk about it, the two of them had to let go of the itchy feeling in their hearts, and tried their best to sit down and meditate on the matter.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll know in the future, let's deal with these important government affairs today, I just have time now, so I can make a decision." Zhu You's school spirit said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of them had no choice but to die unwillingly, but in their hearts, they wrote down the matter of revising a book like the Yongle Canon, and said that they would take this errand in their hands.

It's no wonder that they are like this, the three immortals of the literati, the meritorious service, the virtue, the virtue, the or, it is too difficult, and the meritorious service is now doing, this is not lacking, what is lacking is the speech, whether it is the orthodoxy of the Confucian sect that the emperor said, or the book that is like the Yongle Canon, it belongs to the category of the speech.

This is what the literati want to do the most, and it is not surprising that Xu and Sun have this performance.

Seeing the itchy expressions of the two of them, Zhu Youxiao was secretly happy in his heart, this was his intention, just like letting a donkey grind, hanging with a carrot in front, the efficiency would be better, and in terms of work, there was no difference between people and donkeys.

"Okay, then, let's get down to business, about the holding of the imperial examination."
