The Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao is eating.

Because the matter in the DPRK and China has come to an end, Zhu Youxiao is in a much better mood, so the amount of food is also better. Today's meal was very sweet.

Chen Hong came in at this time, and he hesitated to step forward and didn't dare to disturb Zhu Youxiao, who was eating well.

Glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao raised his head, wiped his mouth with a square towel, and said with a smile: "Just say something about it, why bother to spit it out." ”

"Back to the emperor, the people below came to report that Gao Panlong went to Sun Chengzong's mansion. Gao Panlong first went to Sun Shenxing's mansion, and after coming out of Sun Shenxing's house, he went to Sun Chengzong's mansion. Chen Hong hurriedly bowed down and said.

Hearing what Chen Hong said, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised, but said with a smile: "Is this the Ministry of War?" ”

Up to now, the remaining Donglin Party in the DPRK and Central China naturally has to find ways to protect themselves, especially Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong. These two people should have realized the danger and naturally needed to find a way to stay.

It's just that the relationship between these bigwigs in the court and Sun Shenxing is not very good.

Needless to say, Han Yi, a member of the cabinet and the first assistant university, originally the relationship between these people was not bad, but because of the Donglin Party case this time, it was completely broken.

Especially Sun Shenxing and Han Yi, they have really torn their faces, and Gao Panlong is about the same.

Under such circumstances, it would definitely not work for the two of them to go to Han Yi, so the best choice was Sun Chengzong. After all, everyone was very close before, and it is not strange to reach out and pull a hand now.

But Zhu Youxiao was very curious, what was the final result?

If Sun Chengzong really agreed, it would really disappoint him. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gao Panlong is not in the Ministry of War.

If Sun Chengzong really agreed, then this decision was completely selfish. This is not something that Zhu Youxiao can allow.

You must know that you use Sun Chengzong, the premise is that Sun Chengzong still retains a certain degree of public intentions, and does not start from selfishness in everything, which is the same reason as using Han Yi as the first assistant scholar of the cabinet.

"Do you know how things are going to turn out?" Zhu Youxiao asked, his face had become serious at this time.

"Back to the emperor, I don't know for the time being. However, the people below also reported a piece of news, Gao Panlong's face was not very good-looking when he left Sun Mansion, and many people saw it, so it was likely that the conversation collapsed. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said expressionlessly: "The East Factory is very busy, and the case of the Ministry of Industry has made Jinyiwei contribute." ”

"The slave and the maid understand, and the slave and the maid will go." With that, Chen Hong turned around and hurriedly walked outside.

In fact, everyone thinks that the case has almost burned, but only Zhu Youxiao knows that there is still a Ministry of Engineering that has not yet been burned.

Once the Ministry of Works is also burned, many people will be burned to death.

Zhao Nanxing went to investigate the case, but there has been no progress. Because of the affairs of the household department and the military department, the Ministry of Industry was delayed, but the Ministry of Industry was actually more serious than the affairs of those two departments.

Now Zhu Youxiao is ready to move the Ministry of Engineering, and take advantage of this time to make Bi Maokang's power real.

Although he asked Bi Maokang to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works before, Bi Maokang did not have much real power, and more of his energy was on the side of the Baigongfang. But this time is different, I want to let Bi Maokang go.

As for Zhao Nanxing, he did a good job, if nothing else, let Zhao Nanxing continue to work, that is, promote him to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Although the inside of the palace was relatively calm, there was already a disturbance outside the palace.

A lot of people started to put on the question book and wanted to rescue those who were in the midfield.

Even the scholars of the science school began to run and cry, they were pleading, they wanted to make their voices heard, but there was no way to get to the books.

The connection between the central center of the DPRK and them has been severed, and Gao Panlong and Sun Shenxing are unable to protect themselves, and even more so others.

As for Han Yi and Zhao Nanxing, they couldn't speak for these scholars at this time, and they were even very disgusted by their behavior.

Han Yi and Zhao Nanxing now hope that the situation will calm down as soon as possible, but as a result, these scholars are still trying to turn things over indefinitely.

But there are always two sides to things in this world, some people are wailing, and some people have to celebrate.

It's the losers who are wailing, and it's a different group of people who are celebrating.

In Xu Guangqi's house, several people were partying.

This small group is headed by Xu Guangqi, and many people's status is not high, and in addition to Xu Guangqi, there is also Li Zhizao.

Li Zhizao is a knowledgeable person, skilled in astronomical calendrical calculations and mathematics, "Xiaochang Art of War, proficient in the study of Taixi", and Xu Guangqi and Yang Tingyun are equally famous.

In the 26th year of Wanli, he studied Western science with Matteo Ricci. During Wanli's 31st tenure as a scholar in Fujian, astronomical topics were included in the imperial examination.

Later, Li Zhizao accepted Catholic doctrine and was baptized into Catholicism in the 38th year of Wanli. Those who received baptism at the same time as Li Zhizao and joined Catholicism include Wang Zheng and Li Tianjing.

Li Zhizao's original official position was Shaoqing of Taichang Temple in Nanjing, and after Xu Guangqi was reused by Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi recommended Li Zhizao to Zhu Youxiao.

At that time, in order to let Zhu Youxiao reuse Li Zhizao, Xu Guangqi said a lot of good things for Li Zhizao, saying that he was proficient in astronomical arithmetic calendars, especially good at making cannons.

So Li Zhizao was promoted by Zhu Youxiao, and was promoted from Shaoqing of Nanjing Taichang Temple to Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and was also in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and the position was still very inconspicuous.

Of course, this was deliberate by Zhu Youxiao. At that time, the DPRK and China were disturbed, and when the struggle was heating up, Zhu Youxiao naturally could not let Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao show their heads.

But by this time, the matter had subsided, and it was naturally time for Xu Guangqi and them to show their heads.

This gathering is for this matter, and the military department was handed over to Xu Guangqi by His Majesty, so naturally it is time for them to come out.

Zhu Youxiao has never underestimated Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao, they are a school with a perfect heritage, they are all connected with each other, they strive for common ideals and common goals, but they have not been appreciated and valued.

But now, when they really want to use Xu Guangqi to enlighten them, they will burst out with unprecedented power.

Now the happy ones are these people led by Xu Guangqi, who are wailing outside, and they are celebrating.

Xu Guangqi felt that their opportunity had come, and this time it was time to show their strength.

In addition to Li Zhizaoyu, there are other people here.

This is a very special one, he used to be a member of the Donglin Party, and he also had contact with Matteo Ricci, and at the same time corresponded with missionaries in Jiangnan, such as Guo Jujing, Jinnige, and Julius.

In the 39th year of Wanli, after visiting the Western-style funeral of Li Zhizao's father, he decided to convert to Catholicism.

This person is different from the other two people, who are more concerned with the natural sciences, the integration and integration of Eastern and Western sciences, while he is concerned with education.

He believes that there is a problem with the country's education system and the imperial examination system, and that a new talent selection system and a new official system are needed.

He has a lot of research in this area, so these three people are a small group, and this person is Shen Tingyun.

Also after Xu Guangqi was reused, Xu Guangqi recommended Shen Tingyun to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao also appointed him.

Shen Tingyun's current official position is Dr. Guozijian, which is not a big official, but he is outside the center of power.

In addition to these three giants, there are other people who are also there, including Wang Zheng, Li Tianjing, who joined the teaching with Xu Guangqi, and even Chen Kedao, a student of Li Zhen.

It can be said that this time it is a big gathering of all their personnel, and this is a posture to prepare for a big fight.

Xu Guangqi is now the second assistant to the cabinet, and he really needs support.

You must know that only their people in the capital are celebrated here, and there are more people of the same school in the local area. In addition, there are also students from other schools of mind.

You must know that although those people in Xinxue have nothing to do with Xu Guangqi now, they have also been suppressed over the years.

Once Xu Guangqi and they do something, there will definitely be people who choose to join them. Everyone is a mental learner, and there is no scruple about doing such a thing.

So Xu Guangqi and they have a great future, as long as they get the support of Zhu Youxiao, these people are Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty, and they are Confucians at that time.

They will quickly grab power and beat a lot of people to the ground.

Because there are more people and Xu Guangqi's home is relatively small, everyone can only set up a few tables in the courtyard and put some snacks and melons and fruits.

It is impossible to drink, everyone is drinking tea and chatting, all of them are very excited, talking about ideals and planning for the future.

When the small talk was almost over, Xu Guangqi put down the teacup in his hand and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty asked me to draw up a list, and I want to pick some people from us." There are some things I want to say in the front, some of us are more suitable to enter the military department, but some people are not. ”

"Everyone also knows my character, and it is not a matter of guessing when we work together, so I will say it bluntly, if you are not suitable to enter the military department, I will not recommend it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's use of us is a trust in us, and we cannot live up to Your Majesty's trust. ”

"So don't have any resentment because of this, I will still recommend you to Your Majesty when I have other opportunities in the future."

Everyone smiled and nodded.

At this time, they were still relatively pure, and they were not too big an interest group, so there was no gap between them.

You must know that among them, what is important is a ability-oriented, division of labor and cooperation, and whoever is good at what will do it.

Just like Shen Tingyun, he knew that he was not good at military affairs, nor was he good at astronomical legislation, so he didn't get involved in this matter, just sat on the side and drank tea with a smile.

But Li Zhizao is better at entering the military department, so a military squire is indispensable.

After drawing up a big list, Xu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's it." ”

However, Shen Tingyun also raised his worries, and said with some hesitation: "If we do this, will Your Majesty be dissatisfied?" ”

You must know that their current behavior fully meets the definition of forming a party for personal gain.

His Majesty had just taken out one such gang some time ago, and now they are here again.

If His Majesty is suspicious, then everything is over.
