Han Yi and the three of them glanced at Huang Kezhang, and then nodded lightly, which was considered to agree with his statement.

Next, the four cabinet scholars began to discuss this matter further, and wanted to make the whole thing complete, at least beware of Wei Zhongxian's attack, so as not to let him mess things up.

For the four people present, things have come to this point, and there is not much room for choice.

Just like Han Yi said, instead of going against His Majesty, it is better to be like this. As for some shortcomings, it doesn't matter, these people can avoid it.

In the West Garden, in the gazebo.

It was a little hot, and Zhu Youxiao leaned against the marble pillar expressionlessly, feeling a little cool, while listening to Chen Hong read the inscription book for himself.

Just as Chen Hong was about to continue reading, he raised his hand slightly, and Chen Hong stopped.

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes gently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

My guess was right, and these people finally chose to take this power in their hands.

In fact, it is easier to guess, even if this power has many drawbacks, it is also power. There is no need for the Cabinet to offend itself for this, of course, this is only one aspect.

On the other hand, there is no need for them to get along with power, and are they afraid of too much power?

Of course, they also feel that the disadvantages of this power are not a problem. People always have such self-confidence.

Normally, when someone does something stupid, people's first reaction is:

If it were me, it wouldn't be like this.

So it's no surprise that the cabinet is making such a decision now.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to let them do this.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Let the ministers discuss." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, put the question book aside, and then went out to deliver the news.

Since the emperor has explained this matter, he naturally cannot delay in the slightest. The most important thing is that he has been involved in this matter from the very beginning to the present.

Judging from the emperor's style of doing things, this time the matter is very valued by the emperor. Under such circumstances, Chen Hong didn't dare to make any mistakes in his own place.

After the news spread, the crowd in the court was boiling, and countless people began to discuss this matter.

However, at this time, Zhu Youxiao didn't have the heart to worry about this with them, he was listening to Feng Congwu give him a lecture.

Since the last incident, Feng Congwu has entered the palace to give lectures, which has become Zhu Youxiao's practice.

Zhang Yu waited on the side, and snacks and tea were placed on the tables around him.

Feng Congwu was in the lecturer's seat.

"What we are talking about today is to get rid of the wind of vanity and be pragmatic."

Listening to Feng Congwu's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly, with a smile on his face.

After Feng Congwu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Drink some tea, it's hot." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Congwu hurriedly bowed down and said.

After speaking, he took a cup of tea and drank a cup of tea. Speaking of which, after talking for so long, he did get a little thirsty.

After Feng Congwu drank the water, Zhu Youxiao said: "Hearing what Aiqing just said, I have an idea, in Aiqing's opinion, should everything be based on reality?"

"Whether you are a scholar or an official, the most important thing is to seek truth from facts, and you must not conceal and make false reports, and you must not have a vain heart."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yu, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Although it was Feng Congwu who gave a lecture to himself, Zhu Youxiao basically determined during this time that it was this Zhang Yu who compiled these thoughts later.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's words were said to Zhang Yu, and I believe that Zhang Yu can also understand what he means.

In fact, Zhang Yu did understand.

Because he preached a sentence said by Zhu Youxiao before, this sentence is called practice is the only criterion for testing truth; Then now we have put forward the pragmatic style of seeking truth from facts, which seems to be somewhat similar, but in fact they are indeed complementary to each other.

With this guiding ideology, we can follow this pragmatic thinking to get rid of the exaggerated style of officialdom and let all officials act in accordance with this ideology.

So Zhang Yu also understood what the emperor was going to do.

Feng Congwu has probably figured it out these days, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and knowledgeable, but the minister is really far inferior. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Feng Congwu and said with a chuckle: "I was still inspired by Aiqing, and today can be regarded as a great harvest." Come and reward Feng Aiqing with her wishes. ”

Chen Hong, who was standing beside Zhu Youxiao, hurriedly said, "Slave maid, let's prepare." ”

Feng Congwu hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said with a gentle face: "These days, Aiqing has given a good lecture, and I am very satisfied. ”

"A few days ago, Han Yi, a member of the Cabinet First Auxiliary University, asked me to make you the sacrificial wine of the Royal Academy. Han Yi and I said that Aiqing is very knowledgeable, and she has been teaching and educating people all these years, and it can be said that she is full of peach and plum. ”

"Originally, I was a little hesitant, but these days listening to Aiqing's lectures, I found that Han Yi did not deceive me."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, whether it was Feng Congwu or Zhang Yu, the expressions on their faces became serious, and they were also extremely excited in their hearts.

This matter has been going on for so long, and it seems that today is finally going to come to fruition. Neither of them can be happy if they want to.

Aren't they tossing for so long for this day?

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Feng Congwu and the others, and the performance of both fell into his eyes.

He smiled and said, "So the Royal Academy will be handed over to Aiqing in the future, and I will immediately let the cabinet draft the decree." Aiqing went back and prepared for the exam, don't let me down. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands." Feng Congwu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and said in an excited tone: "The minister will not let Your Majesty down." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said with a smile: "Get up, go out and do things well." ”

"The minister has retired." Feng Congwu hurriedly bowed down and said.

Then he walked out with Zhang Yu.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Zhu Youxiao put the teacup in his hand on the table, and the expression on his face relaxed.

Leaning back on the rocking chair, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been so long, and my layout is finally going to be completed, and I can do something safely.

The news that Feng Congwu was appointed to the Royal Academy to sacrifice wine quickly spread, but it did not cause too many waves.

First, it's because everyone's attention is not on this one thing.

At the beginning, this incident caused a lot of waves, but now it is not enough. Because everyone was attracted by the secret music system proposed by Wei Zhongxian.

Comparatively, the tantric system is the big deal.

What's more, the matter of the Royal Academy's sacrificial wine has been making trouble for a while, and everyone has become numb.

Not to mention that in the present, even in the later generations of the information explosion, this kind of operation is very common.

Treat the incident coldly when it erupts, and after a while, when the public's attention is no longer focused on the matter, make a bigger thing to cover up.

This kind of operation is not a too clever method, Zhu Youxiao can naturally understand it, and it turns out that the effect is not bad.

As for the four academics in the cabinet, they actually guessed it a long time ago:

Sun Chengzong's candidate for protection was sent away by His Majesty and went to Denglai to be the governor; The rest is Han Yi's candidate, which is more in line with His Majesty's wishes.

In addition, there is also Xu Guangqi's candidate, but everyone doesn't think that his candidate can be on the throne. After all, Shen Tingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is one of them, and it is unlikely that His Majesty will hand over the Royal Academy to them.

Although the Royal Academy asked Xu Guangqi to prepare for them in the early stage, it was impossible to use them when they were in power, especially when there were people competing.

If there is no competition, His Majesty may use Xu Guangqi to enlighten them; Once there is a competition, His Majesty will not choose them. It is also a means of mixing sand.

It was precisely because of this that Han Yi, Huang Kezhang and Sun Chengzong all took action.

Now with such a result, Han Yi and the three of them are not surprised.

Han Yi's mansion.

Glancing at Zhang Yu, Han Yi's face was full of smiles, and he said with great satisfaction: "This time the matter is done, Feng Congwu went to the Royal Academy, and we can be regarded as getting what we want." ”

"It's all about the teacher's strategy." Zhang Yu hurriedly bowed down and said, his attitude was unusually humble.

Raising his head and glancing at Zhang Yu, Han Yi didn't say anything more.

Because Han Yi knew that this matter was actually Zhang Yu's credit, and he was planning it from beginning to end.

Zhang Yu said this, just to give himself a face. Of course, to some extent, it is also to remind yourself not to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

On this topic, Han Yi didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic and said: "What do you think about the incident between the DPRK and China this time?" The tantric system is no small matter, and if you have any ideas, just say it. ”

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid things are a little difficult to do, and I'm afraid that the result that the teacher wants will not appear." ”

"How do you know?" Han Yi looked at Zhang Yu and asked, the expression on his face became serious.

Although there is not much time to contact, Han Yi is quite clear about Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is very talented in this regard, and his calculations are also very positive and in place, which has indeed proved his strength several times.

Since Zhang Yu dared to say this this time, it was naturally his basis.

"The matter of the secret performance system was proposed by Luo Sigong and them, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei must be inevitable, so they must have made a lot of preparations."

"There's no way they're going to let the teacher take that power to the cabinet. Once they have this news, they are afraid that they will attack several pavilion elders frantically. ”

"As for the reason, it must be a few cabinet elders who take power. While this reason is not new at all, it is useful. Speaking of this, Zhang Yu turned his head to look at Han Yi and didn't say anything more.

Han Yi's expression also became serious, he originally had a faint premonition, but now when he heard Zhang Yu say this, he basically confirmed his guess.

Although His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, he has also shown some qualities.

For example, he doesn't like people to hold too much power, likes checks and balances, and likes to use all kinds of people, so it is impossible for anyone to really hold too much power in their hands.

Maybe His Majesty didn't care too much about it originally, but with Wei Zhongxian and them encouraging him, he would definitely care.

"And what do you think the end result will be?" Han Yi turned his head to Zhang Yu and asked.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to hand over this power to the cabinet, and I'm afraid you don't want to hand it over to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, otherwise it wouldn't be to this point for the courtiers to discuss."

Zhang Yu said with a confident smile on his face: "So the final possible result is to take the middle, not to the cabinet and not to the East Factory." ”

"Will it be given to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Han Yi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yu, and said directly: "The Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute is Yu Maoheng, and there is Cui Chengxiu from the East Factory inside, which is indeed very suitable." ”

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "It may also be placed in the Criminal Department." ”

"In the Criminal Department?" Han Yi asked in disbelief, "Why do you think it will be placed in the Criminal Department?" ”

"Because among the four cabinet elders, Huang Ge is the weakest. If this power is given to the Criminal Department, the strength of the Criminal Department will inevitably increase greatly, and at the same time, Huang Gelao's status will also rise. ”

"In addition, the investigation of the case also needs to be handled by the Criminal Department, maybe this will become His Majesty's choice."

Han Yi nodded lightly, he actually felt that what Zhang Yu said made sense.

"I'll see what they have to say tomorrow morning." Han Yi sighed and said, "Do you think it's appropriate to put it in the Metropolitan Procuratorate or in the Criminal Department?" ”

"This teacher doesn't have to ask the students."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the most suitable place in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it will not affect the Cabinet. If it really goes to the Criminal Department, I am afraid that it will have a greater impact on the cabinet. ”

"Insightful." Han Liang smiled and said, "Okay, you go back, it's not too early." ”

"So, the student quit." Zhang Yu smiled and bowed down and withdrew.

After Zhang Yu left, the expression on Han Yi's face did not change.

This time it was not without harvest for Han Yi, at least he won the Royal Academy, and sometimes he couldn't be too greedy.

Early the next morning, in the cabinet duty room.

The four cabinet scholars gathered together again, and the expressions on their faces were more relaxed, and at the same time a little dignified, and they all looked a little contradictory.

They drank tea and ate snacks while starting a conversation.

Han Yi looked at the question book in his hand, handed it to a few other people and said, "Your Majesty let the ministers discuss." Now there is a lot of discussion in the court, and there are quite a few questions about the impeachment of us these days, saying that we are good at governing and exercising power, and we want to seize power for ourselves. You should understand what this means. ”

Of course, a few people also understood, so Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that Wei Zhongxian is agitating in the back." ”

Huang Kezhang said with a smile: "Needless to say. Who else but him would be so eager to stand up against it? Looks like we did hit him seven inches this time. ”

A few people nodded, and they agreed.

After all, Wei Zhongxian wanted to monopolize power for himself; Now that he has been plucked a peach, this may make him more angry than being opposed, so it is not surprising that he jumped out.

Xu Guangqi's gaze swept over a few people, and said slowly: "Now many people are following the trend and attacking us, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do it." ”

It's just that when he said this, Xu Guangqi's emotions were a little complicated.

The reason is also very simple, he was led to rhythm at the beginning, and now feng shui takes turns, the mountains do not turn around, and it is the turn of the other three people to be brought to rhythm.

Although Xu Guangqi knew that he should not gloat, after all, he was also a member of the cabinet, but what was the irrepressible excitement in his heart?

The other three didn't go to see Xu Guangqi either, they weren't in the mood now.

"In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to take a step back." Han Yi said with a calm face.

He really didn't want to say it.

First, it is indeed damaged by interests.

Second, this matter did not surprise Zhang Yu.
