Glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao knew that he had put a lot of effort into this matter and arranged a lot of things. But I didn't expect Chen Hong to arrange so much, and I didn't expect him to bury so many people, it seems that he put his heart into it.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "It's a good job." ”

"Emperor Xie." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Standing up, Zhu Youxiao moved his muscles.

Since there is already a number in his heart, there is naturally no need to hide it anymore, so Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's go, go and meet those scholars." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed, turned around and led the way in front.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived at the front, Han Yi and the others had been waiting here for a while. Although I was not anxious, I was still a little anxious.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Han Yi and the three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, sit down." ”

After Han Yi and the others sat down, Zhu Youxiao said, "Come with Aiqing, is there something going on?" Looking at your Aiqing's appearance, it shouldn't be a good thing. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's relaxed tone, Han Yi and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least now His Majesty is in a good mood, which gives them some confidence in their hearts. After all, when His Majesty is in a good mood, His Majesty is not so easy to get angry, and everyone can be more relaxed.

If Your Majesty is in a bad mood and knows something bad, the result will not be predictable.

Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezhang both looked at Han Yi, the meaning was obvious, it was time for you to speak.

As a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, Han Yi naturally had an unshirkable responsibility, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed one thing. In the event of an emergency in the capital, the ministers did not dare to make their own decisions, so they came to ask His Majesty. ”

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Yi agreed, and hurriedly said: "The students in the capital are all gathering, and many people have gathered, and now they have all arrived at Shoushan Academy. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, and then asked, "Why did they gather?" What happened to Shoushan Academy? ”

"Your Majesty, the Reform Academy of the DPRK and China, I don't know who spread the news." Han Yi sighed, and then said, "It seems that the students are dissatisfied, so they gathered together at Shoushan Academy. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Yi, feeling a little helpless.

At this time, don't you forget to dig a pit for Choi Chengxiu?

However, this kind of thing can't be avoided, so Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Han Yi to continue.

"According to the reports of the people below, it seems that someone has spread the news that the way of saints will no longer be taught after the reform of the academy. After this incident spread, public opinion was boiling, and the students were dissatisfied, and they heard that Zhong Yuzheng of Shoushan Academy had already put forward conditions to Cui Chengxiu. If the academy did not teach the way of the saints, Zhong Yuzheng would not agree to the reform of the academy. ”

"Now that the students are all running to Shoushan Academy to support Zhong Yuzheng, the matter is a bit big. Now the people in the capital are panicking, and public opinion is boiling. If things continue to make trouble, I am afraid that there will be an uncontrollable scene. The ministers were anxious, but they didn't dare to call the shots, so they came to ask Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Yi and nodded, and the expression on his face became serious at this time.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao said: "This matter is indeed very big. If they are allowed to continue to make trouble, I am afraid that it will cause more people to be angry. At that time, I am afraid that it will really be out of control, and it will affect the imperial court's academy reform plan. ”

"Several Aiqing are all cabinet scholars, and it is your duty to plan for me. Since several Aiqing are here now, I will ask a few Aiqing, what do you think? ”

Zhu Youxiao's gaze swept over the faces of Han Yi and the others, waiting for them to give an answer.

His Majesty pushed the matter back again, and Han Yi and the three of them were not surprised in their hearts. Because this is also the routine operation of the imperial court, this matter is still up to the cabinet after all, which is why Han Yi and Xu Guangqi reached a united front before.

If a united front is reached at that time, it is now possible to step on Choi Chengxiu. Regardless of the final outcome of this matter, Choi Chengxiu will definitely be unlucky.

However, if a united front is not reached, each can only say its own thing.

Han Yi and Huang Kezhang didn't speak, and both of them looked at Xu Guangqi.

They wanted to see what Xu Guangqi said to His Majesty about this.

Xu Guangqi was not disappointed, but said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the main thing at present is to calm public opinion. Since they were so worried, the imperial court might as well issue a proclamation telling them that the way of the saints would still be taught after the reform of the Royal Academy. That will also give them peace of mind. ”

After hearing this, Han Yi and Huang Kezhang both sighed in their hearts.

Sure enough, it was not unexpected, Xu Guangqi's rhetoric was already in their expectations.

At this time and age, Xu Guangqi doesn't want to do anything, he just wants the court to be stable. So for this matter, Xu Guangqi is thinking about calming things down, how can he make things bigger?

Xu Guangqi said that this is naturally the best way to deal with it.

However, Han Yi didn't think so, and gave Huang Kezhang a look.

Huang Kezhang immediately understood, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Elder Xu Ge said makes sense. However, the minister thought that it was not enough to just issue a notice, after all, this matter had already reached such a big problem. I'm afraid that a notice will not be able to convince those students. If there are people with ulterior motives to stir things up, there will be trouble. ”

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi's face sank.

Xu Guangqi didn't expect that he didn't promise the two of them, and the two of them still had to do something. Xu Guangqi began to think about it in his heart, how to smash Han Yi's conspiracy?

In Xu Guangqi's view, Han Yi and the two are engaged in conspiracy and trickery, openly excluding dissidents and forming parties for personal gain.

Zhu Youxiao nodded thoughtfully, and said in a tone of approval: "What Huang Aiqing said makes sense. So what can Huang Aiqing do? Let's listen to it. ”

Regarding the intrigue of the following three people, Zhu Youxiao can naturally see it.

After Sun Chengzong left, the two sides began to bite each other. After this incident came out, this contradiction was further intensified, and to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than a struggle for power and profit.

This made Zhu Youxiao a little helpless. I really can't wait, it seems that some things need to be changed. fifth

Huang Kezhang was overjoyed when he saw that Zhu Youxiao agreed with him, and hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial court should send important ministers to Shoushan Academy, firstly, to express the importance of the imperial court, and secondly, to appease people's hearts. The most important thing is that if there is any situation, it can also be dealt with in time on the spot to prevent accidents. ”

This statement naturally makes sense, and it seems to be a very appropriate way to deal with it.

But Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that this was just a tentative beginning. They didn't really want to hand over this matter to the important officials of the court, nor did they really want to do it well. Maybe there is such an idea in this, but more for Choi Chengxiu.

Once Zhu Youxiao agreed to this matter, the important minister sent naturally took over Cui Chengxiu's responsibility, and this matter was naturally Cui Chengxiu's failure to do so.

Originally, the matter of appeasing the students should have been handed over to Cui Chengxiu, but now it has not been handed over to him, which proves that Zhu Youxiao is not satisfied with him. At that time, there will inevitably be people who will attack Cui Chengxiu, saying that he is not qualified to preside over the reform of the Royal Academy and wants to replace him.

As for who to replace, it is naturally the important minister of the court who was sent to preside.

There's a lot more thought in this. So Zhu Youxiao asked: "Who does Huang Aiqing think is more suitable?" ”

After hearing this, Huang Kezhang did not answer immediately, but frowned and began to think.

After a while, he said tentatively: "If the official positions sent are too high, some of them are not appropriate; The official position is too low, and it seems that it is not taken very seriously. Therefore, the minister felt that Feng Congwu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was suitable. ”

"First, Feng Congwu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has a suitable official position. Second, Feng Congwu presided over the Royal Academy and had a better understanding of the things in it. Come to think of it, leaving this matter to him to do must be twice the result with half the effort. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly.

This is to get Cui Chengxiu's errand and replace Cui Chengxiu with Feng Congwu. Once Feng Congwu accomplishes this matter, his power in the Ministry of Rites will inevitably increase greatly. At that time, Xu Guangqi's life is afraid that it will be difficult.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi and said, "What does Xu Aiqing think?" ”

"The minister thinks Huang Ge Lao's proposal is a good one." Xu Guangqi first affirmed Huang Kezhang, after all, everyone still has to show a state of harmony in front of the emperor.

Everyone is dedicated to doing things for the court, and I agree with you first, which also means that what I say below is not selfish.

Just now, Huang Kezhang gave Xu Guangqi this hand, and now Xu Guangqi can be regarded as returning it by doing so.

So Xu Guangqi said: "It's just that there is a little minister who doesn't agree with it, and the minister thinks it's more appropriate to send an important minister of the court." Now that the matter is so big, everyone inside and outside the capital is panicking, and it will even affect many officials in the officialdom. ”

In such a situation, the effect of sending court ministers will be better, and it can also show the importance that the court attaches to scholars. Therefore, the minister thought that it would be more appropriate to send Shen Tingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and asked His Majesty to take a clear look. ”

Xu Guangqi pushed Shen Tingyun out, which was also something to be done.

If Feng Congwu is allowed to go, the rest of the matter will not be easy. If Shen Tingyun went to calm down this matter, then his prestige would also be very high. It would be even better if this errand could be taken over from Cui Chengxiu's hands.

This is also a way out of the way, Xu Guangqi can only do this.

Listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded. Obviously, the two sides are fighting the law on this matter.

However, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to let them fight back and forth, if they are allowed to do this, wouldn't it be bad?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao said: "I'm afraid there is an inside story in this matter. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Han Yi and the three of them were stunned for a moment.

What does this mean? Does Your Majesty have any other ideas? But don't!

At this time, Han Yi and the three of them panicked in their hearts. Although they were fighting with each other, they didn't want Zhu Youxiao to do anything.

As Zhu Youxiao's confidants and courtiers, they naturally know the majesty they are waiting for.

Your Majesty is very kind to his own people who do things faithfully, like a few of them. But if you really start to do it, it's ruthless enough.

If His Majesty really wants to do something to these students, it will be even worse.

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at Han Yi and the others, and continued: "These people actually dare to gather together to fight against the imperial court, is there someone instigating them behind their backs?" Is there someone with ulterior motives who is making noise? If the imperial court compromises like this, will it damage the prestige of the imperial court? ”

"When the time comes, everyone thinks that the imperial court can be bullied, and what if there is a stir because of the affairs of the academy? Is the reform of the academy still going to be carried out? If you make a fuss with an opinion today, and if he raises an opinion tomorrow, who will you listen to in the reform of this academy? ”

"What several Aiqing said makes sense, but this matter can't be hasty." Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's face sank.

Han Yi's hearts fluttered suddenly.

It's over, Your Majesty is really thinking about it.

If His Majesty disagrees with his own opinion, and instead arrests these scholars, then the matter will really make a big fuss.

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to worry about this." Han Yi hurriedly said.

"Oh? What is Han Aiqing's opinion? Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yi and asked.

After hearing this, Han Yi hurriedly said: "These people gathered together, it's just that someone leaked the news. Naturally, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, but the top priority now is to appease them and prevent them from causing trouble. ”

"What's more, Cui Chengxiu didn't explain the matter, so he made this mess. As long as the imperial court explains the matter, I believe it will be able to calm down soon. As for the requirements put forward by the students, it also depends on whether they are suitable or not. ”

The minister thought that this request was nothing more than an explicit statement, and it would not hurt to agree. If it is an unreasonable request, it is natural that you cannot agree to it. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Han Ge said is right!" Huang Kezhang hurriedly said.

Xu Guangqi, who was sitting below, was also anxious at this time, and he didn't care about the battle with Han Yi, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what Han Ge Lao said is right!" ”

But how could Zhu Youxiao let them get by?

He frowned and said, "Even if what you say is right, you can't act hastily, so let's check it out first." ”

Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong and said, "You go to the East Factory and let Wei Zhongxian check it." Let's see if someone is behind this. Once you've found out the situation, report it back immediately. ”
