Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi, and then said: "I will leave this matter to someone else, you can prepare with peace of mind, and this will give you a place dedicated to compiling these books." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi hurriedly agreed.

"Alright, you can step back first!" Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said slowly.

After Xu Guangqi left, Zhu Youxiao leaned back in the rocking chair, his fingers lightly tapped the armrest, the expression on his face was a little hesitant, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and the hesitant expression on his face was gone, more firm.

Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said, "Go and find Wei Zhongxian,"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, then turned his head and ran outside, obviously His Majesty had something to do with Wei Zhongxian.

For Wei Zhongxian, this time was not easy.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian has been reused, and his status has grown very quickly. But recently, his status is not so high, and life is not very easy.

First of all, the competition comes from the traditional old rival Jinyiwei.

After Luo Sigong went down, he originally thought that Jinyiwei would decline for a while, but who would have thought that this Xu Xianchun would come up and be valued and appointed by His Majesty, Jinyiwei was very beautiful during this time.

followed the Department of Communications to arrest people everywhere to try cases, and his status grew very fast.

In addition, he did not do much in the officialdom, and the status of several cabinet scholars became more and more stable. Coupled with the general administration of the government, the life of Dongchang is becoming more and more difficult.

Recently, His Majesty has not arranged any new errands for himself.

What this means to the eunuchs in the palace, Wei Zhongxian is very clear in his heart. This is a precursor to his fall from grace, which can make Wei Zhongxian anxious.

It's just that there has been no good way, Your Majesty can't use himself, and if he has to make up for it, I'm afraid it will backfire. After hearing the summons, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran over.

I was even more excited in my heart, my chance finally came.

looked at Wei Zhongxian who ran in. Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and said, "Evenly out your breath before speaking." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly agreed.

When Wei Zhongxian no longer breathed, Zhu Youxiao spoke: "There is something I want to hand over to you, and you have to handle this matter for me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will definitely do it." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly opened his mouth and reassured.

"Recently, I've been liking some books, all of which were brought by foreigners. I'd like to find more of these books, so I'll let you do it. ”

"By the way, those books are written in their own words, you go and bring those people to the capital, and let them translate all the books for me."

"I heard that there are many of their churches in Nanchang and other places, you go there to find someone."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty rest assured. When the slave and maid returned, they arranged for manpower, and they must have found someone for His Majesty, and all these books were sent to the capital intact. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said, "Then you can do it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Wei Zhongxian agreed, he hurriedly saluted for life: "The slave and maid retire." ”

Looking at Wei Zhongxian's back, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief. After this matter is explained, Wei Zhongxian will definitely be able to handle it, after all, he has been holding him for so long, and he will definitely work hard if he has an errand.

As for whether those people are willing to come, it is not within Zhu Youxiao's consideration.

Whether it is Dongchang or Wei Zhongxian, they have no scruples about doing things. Their only purpose is to make themselves happy, so they have no scruples about doing things.

This is why he didn't let Xu Guangqi do it, but let Wei Zhongxian do it.

If those missionaries make some trouble, Wei Zhongxian will do it directly. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian collected books, and he would not care about any means.

After arranging things, Zhu Youxiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, there was nothing major in the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on the imperial examination, which made the court a lot more stable.

However, it is not that there is no movement, and the matter of the imperial examination has also caused chaos.

The reason is very simple, because Feng Congwu did a great job in the examination questions of the imperial examination this time, and he did a lot of tricks on the questions in this imperial examination.

He changed the Four Books and Five Classics, which were supposed to be examined, to Xunzi.

The title of the imperial examination is "Heaven has its time, the earth has its talent, and man has its rule." ”

This sentence comes from Xunzi's heavenly theory, which is the most direct thing in Xunzi's thoughts. Heaven and man are separated. As soon as this exam question came out, it can be said that there was an uproar in public opinion.

Countless people ran and snorted, and countless people scolded.

However, above the court, they were surprisingly silent about this matter. It seems as if everyone didn't hear it, as if it hadn't happened at all.

This further aroused the anger of the readers, and countless people began to run for someone to stand up and speak.

For many scholars who read Mencius, this matter can be regarded as a catastrophe. All of a sudden, there was a lot of public opinion in the capital, and there were even a few incidents of scholars making trouble.

Many people are worried about this, for fear that something will go wrong.

Of course, there are also people who are not used to it. There were some question books, but they did not target Xunzi, but directly targeted Feng Congwu, impeaching and talking about the injustice of the imperial examination.

To put it bluntly, he was biased towards the students of the academy and did not achieve fairness and justice.

There are not many people who take such a question, mainly to test Zhu Youxiao's attitude. If Zhu Youxiao has no attitude, they will continue to write the question.

In the palace, Zhu Youxiao looked through the question book, and there was no expression on his face.

casually threw aside these impeachment manuscripts of Feng Congwu, and then took a sip of tea. This is actually what Zhu Youxiao wants, and what he wants to change is these things.

Naturally, it is impossible to listen to these people's nonsense at this time.

The guiding ideology of the Ming Dynasty must be changed, and the way of Confucius and Mencius cannot be changed, and it must be replaced with the doctrine of Xunzi. This is what Zhu Youxiao has always insisted on, and it is also what he has always wanted to promote.

For all students, the Taoism they defend is, to put it bluntly, their interests.

If you move their Taoism, you will move their interests, and it is strange that they don't speak. Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said: "Let Jinyiwei keep an eye on it, if someone makes trouble and makes too much trouble, let them arrest people." ”

"But you tell Xu Xianchun, don't kill anyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave must explain to him." Chen Hong hurriedly spoke.

If there is no human life in this matter, it is not a big deal. The courtiers above the court will not make trouble with themselves because of this matter.

After all, this matter has been discussed before.

There is now a balance of power above the court, and no one can help anyone, so Zhu Youxiao is not worried about what problems will happen in the court. As long as there is no problem in the court, the lower bullet will be pressed.

I just want to tell all the scholars in the world through this imperial examination that they should change their courts.

If you don't dare to change your court, you have no way out. Zhu Youxiao believes that there are brainless people, but more people study just to be officials, and in order to get ahead, they will quickly change their courts.

When you spread out the academy yourself, more people will join the academy.

The reason is also very simple, the students of the academy have an advantage in the exam, and for Zhu Youxiao, who has experienced exam-oriented education, he knows very well what it is like to study for the exam.

When you do the rest yourself, then things will be much simpler.

As for what to do after that, this matter is quite troublesome, because Zhu Youxiao wants to leave the capital. So he remembered someone again and glanced at Chen Hong. Zhu Youxiao said: "Let me go, let's just say that I have been riddled with nightmares recently. ”

After hearing this, Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you want to find an imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"I don't need to." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Just let the news out, and let Han Li come over and do a few Dharma events in the palace to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Although he didn't know what His Majesty was going to do, Chen Hong knew it very well in his heart. What must be done this time is probably not too small.

It's better not to mix it yourself. Just look back at Xu Xianchun and don't make a fuss.

Zhu Youxiao's nightmare soon spread, and then the palace began to do things. These things made the people in the court a little confused.

There are even people who have put on the question book to admonish Zhu Youxiao not to be overly superstitious about ghosts and gods?

Zhu Youxiao naturally turned a deaf ear to this, ghosts and gods will definitely not be able to believe in this kind of thing in the future. Because he pushed Xunzi's doctrine. Maybe the Mo family's ghosts will be taken out in the future, but now is not the time.

After the matter fermented for a few days, Zhu Youxiao recruited several cabinet scholars.

After a few people arrived in the palace, they saw Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the couch with a dull face. Xu Guangqi hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, why don't you find the imperial doctor to take a look!" ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and then said, "I know my body, so I don't need to look for the imperial doctor." ”

"Han Li has already told me that the reason why I am haunted by nightmares is because my ancestors have dreams, I have a great catastrophe in the Ming Dynasty, and the earthquake in Shandong is an omen, so I really want to leave Beijing, worship the ancestral tombs, and ask for the blessing of my ancestors."

Listen to Zhu Youxiao's words. Several people were a little stunned, it was too sudden, and some of them couldn't react for a while.

His Majesty actually wanted to leave Beijing, but found a reason to worship the ancestral tomb.

In this way, things will not be easy to handle, if you don't let you go, won't you let Your Majesty also be filial? But if you let Your Majesty go, the journey will be tiring and costly.
