Yu Maoheng's thoughts, Zhu Youxiao can also guess some.

To put it bluntly, "I have to be asked to do this, and I can't avoid it, so don't be at both ends of the rat, and just get things done in one step." ”

Not to mention that this courage is not something that ordinary people can have. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao was a little impressed by Yu Maoheng.

Glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Let him come in." ”

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao turned back to his chair and sat down, quietly waiting for Sun Chengzong's arrival.

He wanted to see what Sun Chengzong had to say.

It didn't take long for Sun Chengzong to walk in from outside, and hurriedly saluted after seeing Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly waved his hand, signaled Sun Chengzong to be exempt, and then instructed Chen Hong, who was standing on the side, "Give me a seat." ”

Soon someone moved the chair over, Sun Chengzong also sat down, and the two gentlemen and ministers were ready to start talking.

Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth first and asked, "Aiqing came over today, but is there anything wrong?" ”

He spoke softly, sincerely, and with a hint of concern.

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Sun Chengzong's face softened a lot. Glancing at His Majesty of his own family, Sun Chengzong opened his mouth and said: "The minister heard in the outside world that Yu Maoheng, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, has a question book, which is about the Tianxia Academy. ”

In fact, Sun Chengzong was not very interested in these things, and he always wanted to stay away from them.

The last time the Donglin Party found him, he had already met for the Donglin Party, but the matter was not done well. Of course, it's not that he didn't get things done well, but that the Donglin Party messed up.

It doesn't matter if the Donglin Party was tricked by Wei Zhongxian, or because they themselves are idiots. If things are messed up, they are messed up.

He had already come once last time, and His Majesty had also given face, so it was impossible to come again. So when Gao Panlong approached him again, he refused.

It's just that this time it's different, this time the matter is too big, not only involving the Donglin Party, but also involving the Donglin Academy, and even involving the academies all over the world, this is a big thing.

Once Your Majesty listens to the slander and destroys the academies in the world, it will lose Your Majesty's reputation, and at the same time, it will also lose the culture and education of the Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn't this make the world's readers chill?

This practice also made the world's scholars disappointed in the imperial court, and it was not conducive to the spread of knowledge.

As for those who talk about the government and slander the king, they are only a few, and they cannot be wasted because of choking. After all, discussing politics is also out of the heart of serving the country. This should be encouraged, how can it be suppressed?

With such thoughts and thoughts, Sun Chengzong entered the palace.

Zhu Youxiao heard Sun Chengzong say that he was here for this matter, and he probably understood what he was here for.

The reason why Sun Chengzong came in such a hurry was nothing more than to see him as soon as possible, trying to impress himself before Yu Maoheng's question book did not work.

"Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" Zhu Youxiao asked expressionlessly.

Sun Chengzong had been observing His Majesty's expression, but he couldn't see anything.

Hearing His Majesty ask himself, he hurriedly said, "The minister thought that this matter must not be done. All dynasties and dynasties have been promoting culture and education, how can they be suppressed? The student officials also discuss politics for the imperial court, and before there is no imperial examination, it is also good to discuss current affairs. ”

"As long as they don't make trouble and don't get involved in politics, that's fine. The prosperity of the world's academies is the work of the imperial court's education. Although there were also people who preached heresy and slandered the king, but that was only a minority, how could the court give up food because of choking? ”

Zhu Youxiao saw Sun Chengzong's eager expression, his heart suddenly moved, and asked, "I don't know what Aiqing thinks of Li Zhen's doctrine?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Sun Chengzong's heart was also moved.

In fact, His Majesty was listening to Li Zhen's doctrine, which Sun Chengzong knew, but he never advised.

First, he was afraid of angering His Majesty, and second, Sun Chengzong did not resist Li Zhen's doctrine so much.

Of course, Sun Chengzong did not support this doctrine, he wanted to do practical things rather than arguing and arguing about such academic matters.

Sun Chengzong just didn't expect His Majesty to ask him such a question at this time.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "I think that some places are indeed out of place, but some places are still desirable. ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Sun Chengzong to give this kind of jack-of-all-trades answer.

He probably understood a little, in fact, Sun Chengzong should not be the Donglin Party, but he is a little close to the Donglin Party.

After all, the propaganda work of the Donglin Party was done well, because in the later struggle, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party had reached the level of either/or.

Sun Chengzong was naturally unwilling to befriend Wei Zhongxian, or many people who were unwilling to befriend Wei Zhongxian were all beaten into the Donglin Party.

In fact, Sun Chengzong's partisan attributes are not strong, but there are some things that he can't help himself in the imperial court, and it is impossible for Sun Chengzong to be alone.

Now that he heard what Sun Chengzong said, Zhu Youxiao probably could understand it, and naturally he could tolerate these non-party people, and he was even ready to use them.

So Zhu Youxiao didn't ask any more about this matter, but just nodded.

Since Sun Chengzong is not against Xinxue, as for the question raised, Zhu Youxiao is not ready to give him an answer.

Although I have an idea in my heart, this matter has only just begun.

Unlike Sun Chengzong's idea of wanting to solve it as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao was ready to delay it, at least let it develop for a few days.

To paraphrase a later generation, Zhu Youxiao was ready to let the bullets fly for a while.

This matter is to be taken out to make a fuss, how can it be solved at this time?

Even if he gave Sun Chengzong a simple answer, if it was passed out, it would represent too many things. So Zhu Youxiao was not ready to give him an answer.

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "Recently, the court has been complicated, and all kinds of things have come one after another. I was not feeling well a few days ago, and I did delay a lot of things. ”

"Now that things are getting worse and worse, I can't escape the blame. Now that my body is much better, I am preparing to take these things out for discussion at the next court meeting, and listen to the opinions of the ministers. If you listen to it, you know, I still know. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, the expression on Sun Chengzong's face froze a little for a moment.

Of course, he understood what his majesty meant. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice.

"In that case, the minister will retire." After saying this, after getting His Majesty's approval, Sun Chengzong withdrew.

After seeing Sun Chengzong leave, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong and asked, "Hasn't the news from Jinyiwei come back yet?" ”

"Emperor, the news has come back. Tonight, Fang Congzhe will be able to enter Beijing. ”

Hearing the news, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Then release the news, and the day after tomorrow will be held as usual." I will go in person, so that the courtiers do not be late. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed down and replied.

He knew it was finally here.

For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the court meeting was a topic that could never be avoided.

Whether the emperor is in court or not, civil officials are quite worried.

Previously, the emperor had not been in court, and many civil officials were impeached because of this matter.

Although there is no large-scale impeachment of the upper question, basically someone will tease it every once in a while, but the emperor has not reacted.

Over time, everyone's minds faded. Someone wanted to use this matter to deceive the court staff to brush up their reputation, but His Majesty didn't react, so they didn't react.

This time the emperor is suddenly going to court, and things are naturally not ordinary. Especially in the current situation, everyone in the court can see the problem this time.

Things have come to this point, everyone is waiting, and this time the Great Dynasty will inevitably become the flashpoint of all contradictions.

So each family is also working hard to prepare, preparing to kill each other at one time at this court meeting.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew what the ministers thought, but he was noncommittal.

Time is like water, time is like a shuttle, and two days have passed in a blink of an eye.

On this morning, Zhu Youxiao got up early in the morning, ate and exercised, and then put on a dragon robe under Chen Hong's service.

It was the first time in a long time that he had worn such a formal outfit.

After everything was cleaned up, the time was almost up, and Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has not been in court these days, it does not mean that he is not looking forward to this day.

For an emperor, the last dynasty is the embodiment of his power, not to mention that he has never done such a thing in two lifetimes, so he naturally wants to try it.

The attendants were on the left and right, and Zhu Youxiao stepped out of the Qianqing Palace.

Because this time it was a court meeting, Zhu Youxiao did not choose to go to court at the Huangji Gate and the Qianqing Gate, but placed it in the Huangji Hall where the ceremony was held on weekdays.

You know, this is not an easy place to start.

This time, the court meeting was placed in the Imperial Palace, which shows that Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to this court meeting.

In addition, this is also to tell the ministers that this time the court will be extraordinary, so you had better be prepared.

Zhu Youxiao walked into the main hall, and then walked to the seat and sat down, this process is called ascending to sitting.

After Zhu Youxiao sat down, Baiguan began to pay homage.

After the hundred officials shouted long live, Zhu Youxiao raised his hand lightly and said, "No courtesy, flat body!" ”

Zhu Youxiao sat on the magnificent golden dragon chair and gently touched the huge dragon head on the handle. At this time, he looked at the minister kneeling below, his heart was extremely excited, but the expression on his face did not fluctuate in the slightest.

This is what it feels like to be an emperor! At this moment, his feelings were even more profound.

At the same time, Wang An, who was standing on the other side, shouted loudly: "There is a morning play, and there is no retreat." ”

"I've been a little uncomfortable these days, maybe I'm a little lazy, now I'll play anything!" Zhu Youxiao smiled and said loudly.

Although Zhu Youxiao said it easily, no one spoke for a while.

All the officials bowed their heads, and some of the timid officials even began to tremble.

This time the court meeting is too big.

However, a person suddenly walked out, picked up his clothes and knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”
