Put the question book aside. After reading the one from the Ministry of Revenue, it’s time to read the one from the Ministry of War.

Sun Chengzong recommended two people, one was Yuan Keli, who was recommended as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War; the other was Fu Zonglong, who was recommended as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

After seeing these two people, Zhu Youxiao had no objection at all.

First of all, there is Yuan Keli, whose deeds need no further explanation.

If you want to study the history of the late Ming Dynasty, there is one person you cannot avoid, and that person is Mao Wenlong; if you cannot avoid Mao Wenlong, you cannot avoid Yuan Keli, so Zhu Youxiao accepted Yuan Keli as a person.

As for Fu Zonglong, although he is not famous now, he is a capable man.

Because when An Bangyan rebelled, it was Fu Zonglong who stabilized Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and it can be said that he stabilized the rear area of ​​the southwest.

Although he didn't know how Sun Chengzong fell in love with Fu Zonglong, Zhu Youxiao thought Fu Zonglong was a good person.

After looking at the recommendation list, Zhu Youxiao felt relieved, and then he felt that he had not hired the wrong person, and people like Xu Guangqi did not disappoint him.

Putting the petition aside, Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since I have said so before, I will not go back on my word. Let's follow the list on this petition."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Yu bowed and agreed, and at the same time became alert in his heart.

Naturally, Han Yu was wary of Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi.

Han Yu had long been wary of Sun Chengzong, the emperor's teacher, who was also very prudent and could easily replace him if he wasn't careful.

Han Yu had never thought that Xu Guangqi, who was behind him, had any ability before, but this time, Han Yu was shocked by the emperor's attitude towards Xu Guangqi.

Han Yu had originally thought Xu Guangqi had other reasons for recommending Zuo Guangdou, but after hearing Xu Guangqi's reasons, he realized that no matter what Xu Guangqi's thoughts were, this approach would surely be approved by His Majesty, so Han Yu knew that this was also a formidable opponent.

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea and said, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally it was Han Yu who stood up.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of discussion going on inside and outside the court, all about Chen Kedao. There are also people in the court who want to take advantage of the situation. I beg Your Majesty to calm public opinion."

After this sentence came out, the atmosphere between the few people became a little subtle.

Because everyone knows the relationship between Xu Guangqi and Chen Kedao, and now this matter has caused a lot of uproar, the best way to calm it down is to deal with Chen Kedao, but can Xu Guangqi agree?

Xu Guangqi would never agree to this. He relied on the support of his people to hold this position. If he touched Chen Kedao now, no one would support him.

Because this would be tantamount to betrayal, Xu Guangqi would definitely not agree.

The two sides may start to fight. The cabinet has only been quiet for a few days. Is it going to start now?

After learning about this, Sun Chengzong felt bad. He had no interest in these arguments and felt that they were a waste of time. He would be better off training more soldiers and collecting more food and fodder.

Officials who have reached their position actually know very well in their hearts that the so-called teachings of Confucius and Mencius are nothing more than a stepping stone to advancement.

It’s just that they won’t curse like Li Zhi did. They all rely on their background. If they turn around and step on others and sabotage them, it will damage their character and will not bring any benefits. Who would do that?

So they know it in their hearts, but they don't say it. To a certain extent, they even want to maintain this existing thing because it guarantees their interests.

If he is demolished, what will I do in the future? This is the current situation.

"Then my dear, how do you think we can calm it down?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu and asked with a smile.

In fact, any smart person understands that this matter was caused by His Majesty.

Chen Kedao was giving lectures to His Majesty back then, and even after he left, his lectures were escorted by the Imperial Guards. If this wasn't something His Majesty had done, then it must be something fishy!

Therefore, apart from those who wanted to gain fame, the people who proposed to punish Chen Kedao at this time probably really wanted to do so. In their values, Chen Kedao was a heretic.

When Zhu Youxiao asked this, he actually wanted to know what Han Yu thought and see what he had to say.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the spirit of teaching is prevalent throughout the country. Since everyone wants to teach, it's okay for you to teach yours and for me to teach mine. Disagreeing with others is fine, but rioting is not allowed."

"This is a matter of public opinion. I believe that rules should be established. As the saying goes, without rules, there is no order. Whether it is to prohibit or allow lectures, everything must be made clear and a rule established for the people of the world."

"As for the endless debate in the court regarding the academy, I believe a decision should be made."
