"Pros and cons?" Xu Guangqi took over the conversation and said, "I don't want any of them."

When he said this, the expression on Xu Guangqi's face was not very good.

For Xu Guangqi now, it would be best if nothing happens in the court, so that nothing can affect him. It would be best if he can live a stable and quiet life, and continue to develop according to the current model.

Judging from the current situation, as long as I continue to develop, my strength will only grow stronger and stronger, and I will be able to accomplish everything I want.

But now that things have happened, such as demoting Mencius and praising Xunzi, public opinion in the court is in turmoil, and everyone is vying for it, which is not very beneficial to him.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only choose the one with more benefits," Li Zhizao said. "In fact, we don't have much choice. We can only choose to support Huang Kezun. If we don't support him, things will probably become more troublesome."

Shen Tingyun on the side also nodded and said: "Indeed. How did we get to the top before?"

"It's Li Zhi's theory, and it's the theory that Your Majesty trusts. Judging from the current situation, Your Majesty does not oppose what Huang Kezun is doing, which means Your Majesty does not oppose Xunzi's theory. If we oppose it at this time, what would Your Majesty think?"

"Your Majesty, will you think we are the same as those before us? If so, we will have no basis for existence. So although it seems we have a choice, in fact, we have no choice but to support Huang Kezun."

"Replace Mencius with Xunzi..." Xu Guangqi muttered, then sighed and said helplessly, "We're afraid we'll be stigmatized. If this fails, we'll be infamous for eternity."

"Then let's get it done!" Li Zhizao said gritting his teeth.

"That's not necessary." Shen Tingyun smiled and comforted everyone: "When we study, conduct ourselves, and do things, all we seek is a clear conscience. Now, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, a little loss of our reputation is nothing. Even if the plan fails and we are infamous for eternity, we won't be able to hear it."

Glancing at Shen Tingyun, Xu Guangqi pointed at him and said with a smile, "How old are you? You're still so mischievous. In that case, let's not wait any longer and submit a petition directly to support Huang Kezun."

"I think you should wait a while." Shen Tingyun said with a sullen face, "You are different from us. You are now the Vice Minister of the Cabinet, so you can't get into trouble. And with your current status, it's better not to express your opinion yet."

Li Zhizao on the side also nodded and said: "Things have just begun, the situation is still unclear, and the attitudes of the several ministers in the cabinet are unknown, so you don't have to rush to express your views."

Xu Guangqi thought about it, nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Zhu Youxiao has been very bored recently.

He didn't want to read the memorial because there was nothing important in it and it was all criticism of Huang Kezun, so Zhu Youxiao felt that it didn't matter whether he read it or not.

As for attending the morning court, that was even more impossible. Going to the morning court at this time would make me so angry that I didn't know when it started.

Maybe someone will try to prove their point by banging their head against a pillar in the imperial palace. How will you deal with it then?

I might as well not go to court. Let things be as they are.

So Zhu Youxiao became free and bored.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao was not idle. He began to train with Qi Yuanfu's Qianniu Guard.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao’s training volume is definitely not as good as that of the elite Qianniu Guards, but it still feels very comfortable to exercise.

Although Zhu Youxiao's health had been weak for a long time since his last cold, he was young and had a better recovery ability.

In addition to training together to keep fit, Zhu Youxiao also began to study new tactics, or new training methods, with Qi Yuanfu.

The main thing is that Zhu Youxiao brought some things from later generations, such as squad coordinated operations, special operations, and military classification.

Zhu Youxiao understood some of these things better, and for others he only had a general idea. But it didn't matter, as he had Qi Yuanfu by his side.

Although Qi Yuanfu is not very famous in history, far less famous than Qi Jiguang and Qi Jin, he is still very familiar with their family's training methods and knows the Mandarin Duck Formation very well.

This was enough for Zhu Youxiao. So the two of them worked together, combining some things from later generations with some things used by the Qi family army now, and began to try and experiment continuously.

They wanted to find a completely new way of fighting, and the two rookies enjoyed discussing it together.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao's life was quite fulfilling and he was in high spirits every day.

"Your Majesty," Chen Hong walked up to Zhu Youxiao and said softly, "Cabinet Grand Secretary Xu Guangqi requests an audience."

Hearing Chen Hong's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let him in."

Not long after, Xu Guangqi came out.

Zhu Youxiao had a stool brought over, waved to Xu Guangqi, who was bowing, and said with a smile: "My dear, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi replied quickly, then bowed and sat down.

After Xu Guangqi sat down, Zhu Youxiao smiled gently and said, "My dear minister, why do you come here at this time?"

"Your Majesty, I came here today to talk to you about the imperial farm." Xu Guangqi said hurriedly.

When Zhu Youxiao heard Xu Guangqi mention this matter, he remembered it in his heart.

It's been so long now that I'd actually forgotten about the Huangzhuang farm. Fortunately, Xu Guangqi is still trying to plant it, and it looks like the results should be good.
