Xiao Mu's arrangement also saved his face as the emperor, after all, he had said before that the teachers of the Inner Study Hall were all guilty of sin, and they were not qualified to lead the students to worship Confucius. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Now he has arranged for Cao Huachun, the most educated eunuch in the palace and the best relationship with scholars, to be the head of the inner study hall, and let him take the little eunuchs to worship Confucius, which is not contradictory to his previous statement. Such a solution can be regarded as the best of both worlds, not only to save their own face, but also to maintain the traditional feudal etiquette, I think the day before yesterday those civil officials who were talking about this can also be satisfied, right?

Of course, what Xiao Mu didn't know was that at this time, the question of whether to worship or not to meet the Holy Master was not the focus of the courtiers below at all, and their hearts were actually not satisfied with today's early dynasty.

But even if there is any dissatisfaction, it can't be shown on the face, since the facts have shown that the position of the head of the cabinet of Lai Zongdao has not been loosened, but has become more stable, then all the so-called "plans" that were discussed overnight last night have lost their value, after all, most of these plans are based on the premise that Lai Zongdao resigned and there was a vacancy in the cabinet.

In short, people like Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and others also clearly realized in their hearts at this moment that the conclusion that they had analyzed before that the intention of coming to the sect to resign was resolute, and the conclusion that Shoufu would be replaced was wrong. Now that the position of the head and assistant of the sect is stable, the other cabinet elders will surely continue to be their cabinet scholars, and there will be no vacancies in the cabinet in the short term, so no matter how much they plan, there is no possibility of entering the cabinet for the time being.

At this time, the state of Qian Qianyi and others is somewhat similar to the common situation of Xiao Mu in college in later generations:

It was a boy who accidentally learned that there was a problem with the relationship between his favorite girl and her boyfriend, and at the same time secretly made a careful plan, for how to promote the girl he likes to break up with her current boyfriend completely, how to surprise her after the sister's breakup, how to confess, and how to finally succeed in the position have been carefully considered for a long time. But just after he made a careful and detailed plan, he suddenly learned that there was only a small misunderstanding between this girl and his boyfriend, and now the misunderstanding has been eliminated, and the two have reconciled again.

Although success is reserved for those who are prepared, if one day, you find that your careful planning and careful preparation are completely futile and have nothing to do with success, as long as you are a normal person, you must feel depressed.

Therefore, officials like Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and other officials who have re-"fallen out of love" have returned to their languishing state at the moment, after all, they barely had a good rest last night, and nothing happened this morning. In this way, the original lifeless atmosphere in the hall was restored, and a political storm that was originally brewing and could break out violently at any time was destroyed by Xiao Mu by mistake without knowing it.

Of course, not all officials are dissatisfied with today's result, and the protagonist of Lai Zongdao is not mentioned for the time being, at least other cabinet elders such as Yang Jingchen and Li Biao are still very happy about what happened today - although they also misunderstood before, thinking that the emperor had approved Lai Zongdao's request to resign and let him go home in style.

But the facts in front of them are far beyond their imagination, Lai Zongdao not only did not succeed in resigning, but also became a meritorious man who "spoke out and advised", and became a model worthy of learning from all officials, such a huge contrast also made Yang Jingchen and others full of confidence in their future careers.

Originally, they all worked in the cabinet with the intention of doing one day at a time, especially Yang Jingchen, who had always been worried that he would be liquidated and become a gang of eunuchs, and his biggest wish in his heart was just to retire peacefully, and he had no idea about his future career plan, after all, "people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries". But in the early dynasty today, the example of the first assistant who also had a similar situation to himself has clearly shown that the emperor does not intend to pursue courtiers like himself who have had some relationship with the eunuch party at all, and he wants to reuse it. So, after the biggest worry in front of him disappeared, Yang Jingchen's heart also felt very relaxed, and even thought about how to work in the cabinet in the future, and had a reverie such as whether he would have a chance to succeed him as the first assistant after coming to Zongdaozhishi.

There are also people who are not satisfied or dissatisfied with the affairs of the early dynasty today, but show a state of calm and calm, and Xu Guangqi is the best representative. After all, what happened in the entire early dynasty has fully confirmed his initial judgment - to come to Zongdao to persuade the emperor by resigning. Since he had thought of this a long time ago, Xu Guangqi had a feeling of "it was really as I expected" about everything that happened in the early dynasty today. Therefore, Xu Guangqi's mood does not fluctuate, this is also normal, is it possible that the emperor announced something that he already knew, what special mood do I have?

Of course, Xu Guangqi's analysis is actually not correct, and the resignation of the sect is indeed sincere and not a means of persuasion, but Xu Guangqi does not know the reason behind this, and Xiao Mu cannot tell everyone the truth behind the whole thing. Therefore, at least on the surface, the official statement given by Xiao Mu about the resignation of the sect is that it is a behavior worthy of learning from the majority of ministers to speak out and advise the emperor. And this official statement just happens to be consistent with Xu Guangqi's opinion.

Finally, the protagonist of today's early dynasty, the head of the cabinet, came to Zongdao's heart at this time, and he was not at peace. After carefully recalling the events between the opening of the study hall the day before yesterday and the beginning of the dynasty today, Lai Zongdao felt that the idea that the emperor despised Confucianism should have been misunderstood-it was precisely because this crazy idea lingered in his heart at that time, but it became clearer and clearer, that he decided to resign under the contradiction of feelings.

But now that I think about it, the emperor did not allow the students of the Inner Study Hall to worship Confucius perhaps not because he despised Confucianism at all, but simply thought that Feng Quan, the leader of the eunuch party, was not qualified to have anything to do with Sage Confucius, and he had misunderstood the emperor's good intentions from the very beginning......
