"The most important thing is that things can be reported directly to His Majesty. This temporary yamen does not have to be accountable to any yamen, not even to the cabinet. In this way, not only can the troubles of both sides be solved, but the advantages of both sides can also be gathered. I think this is a best of both worlds." After saying this, Huang Kezun stopped talking.

However, everyone present looked unhappy because Huang Kezun directly rejected everyone's idea.

And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to send important officials of the court.

What kind of people are important officials in the court?

Everyone present counts.

But that’s not the case. If he is not qualified for the position of Minister of Rites, then the only candidates are a few Grand Secretaries in the Cabinet.

Because if it is possible to send a Shangshu, then just let the Minister of Rites Shen Tingyun do it. Why send anyone else?

Among the four cabinet ministers, three of them have different positions. Xu Guangqi is a believer in the School of Mind, Sun Chengzong is a believer in the School of Principle, and Huang Kexun has recently shown himself to be a disciple of Xunzi. This is a bit strange.

Everyone knew that Huang Kezun was also a disciple of Neo-Confucianism. However, he did not form cliques or pursue personal interests, and had no connection with the Donglin Party, so the evidence was not obvious. However, his lineage was indeed Neo-Confucianism.

Under such circumstances, Huang Kexun actually chose Xunzi's theory, which has to be said to be problematic.

Everyone's eyes fell on Han Yu's face. He was the only one who hadn't expressed his opinion. Han Yu was also the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, so his attitude was crucial at this moment.

Even Zhu Youxiao felt that this was indeed the case, so he looked at Han Yu and wanted to know what Han Yu thought.

Everyone was looking at him, and Han Yu knew he couldn't hide. He said without hesitation, "I think what Mr. Huang said makes sense. If we follow what Mr. Huang says, we can achieve the best of both worlds."

After saying this, Han Yu stopped talking.

This answer still surprised everyone. Everyone thought Han Yu would stand on Sun Chengzong's side, but he stood on Huang Kexun's side.

This is also a very strange decision.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed in his heart. Today's meeting was quite interesting. It seemed that the people present were hiding something. Everyone's plot was unclear. The more interesting ones were Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi.

From the very beginning, these two people had clear positions. Zhou Jiamo supported Sun Chengzong, Zhao Nanxing supported Xu Guangqi, and Yu Maoheng also supported Xu Guangqi. There must be something going on.

But Han Yu's team is the most interesting.

Everyone has expressed their opinions, and now it is Zhu Youxiao's turn.

Since there is no consensus, he, the emperor, has to make the final decision.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at everyone's faces before saying, "Then let's do as Han Aiqing says!"

The "Han Aiqing" mentioned by Zhu Youxiao was naturally referring to Han Yu.

Although it was done according to Han Aiqing's wishes, it was actually Huang Kezun's idea. There was something to think about for a while.

However, Zhu Youxiao would not give them this opportunity and said directly: "Since this matter was proposed by Huang Aiqing, then let Huang Aiqing take charge."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at the Minister of Rites, Shen Tingyun, and said, "Lord Shen, this time the Ministry of Rites is in charge, so you still have to be cautious and prudent. At the same time, you must do your best to cooperate with Lord Huang. Do you understand?"

Shen Tingyun quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."

Your Majesty finally chose Huang Kezun's method and asked him to preside over the compilation of the imperial examination syllabus. What is the meaning of this?

Was it dissatisfaction with the bickering between the two factions? Or was it to support Han Yu, the cabinet's top minister? Or did he truly like Huang Kezun's approach?

If we talk about favor and who His Majesty likes the most, Xu Guangqi should be the winner.

Since Your Majesty listened to the lectures of Chen Kedao, the School of Mind, it should have been Xu Guangqi and his group who held the upper hand. Everyone thought Xu Guangqi and his group would win, even Sun Chengzong himself.

But it didn't happen. Was it because there were too many people supporting Xu Guangqi, or for some other reason?

Everyone was thinking about this in their hearts, but no one had a suitable idea and could not give a complete answer.

Because no one knew what Zhu Youxiao was thinking, they didn't dare to ask.

"Now that we've concluded our discussion and it's getting late, my dear ministers, please go back." Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "I too must go back for dinner. I've been studying all morning and I'm really tired and a little hungry."

"Your Majesty, we respectfully bid you farewell." No one dared to be negligent and hurriedly saluted Zhu Youxiao.
