After hearing this, the expressions of the other three people also became serious.

In fact, Han Yu didn't need to say the seriousness of the matter, the three of them were also very clear about it. After all, the trouble Wei Zhongxian had caused before had not yet passed.

This is something that has happened before, so they dare not take it lightly.

At this time, Xu Guangqi said in a serious voice, "If we let the ministers write secret memorials to each other, then the superiors will not trust the subordinates, and colleagues will be wary of each other. Who will dare to do anything? Wouldn't they be afraid of being caught?"

"Once we do this, countless incompetent and lazy officials will inevitably emerge. At the same time, it will even lead to many officials falsely accusing each other."

"If this trend becomes established, things will be troublesome. The only one who might benefit is Wei Zhongxian. They can use this to falsely accuse any official they want. So we absolutely cannot agree to this!"

Several people looked at Xu Guangqi. They didn't expect him to express his opinion in this way at this time. Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, Xu Guangqi has always been His Majesty's man, and some people are afraid that he will choose to support His Majesty at this time.

After all, Xu Guangqi has always been promoted by Your Majesty, but he did not support Your Majesty at this time. Obviously, he still has a bottom line in his heart.

There was a hint of tenderness in Sun Chengzong's eyes when he looked at Xu Guangqi.

Since Xu Guangqi had already spoken, the others naturally couldn't fall behind, so Sun Chengzong said, "We need to find a way to persuade His Majesty. Now the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are working together to do this, and there's also that evil Taoist priest in the palace. If we don't come up with a good solution, I'm afraid it will only make things worse."

As he spoke, Sun Chengzong swept his eyes across the faces of several people with a very serious expression.

Huang Kezun on the side took over the conversation and said directly: "Perhaps we can learn from Xu Jie."

When they heard Huang Kezun mention this name, several people were stunned.

No one expected that Huang Kezun would bring up Xu Jie at this time. This was because Xu Jie had a very bad reputation both in the officialdom and among the literati.

Although it was Xu Jie who overthrew Yan Song, his actions were not praised by people.

After all, in order to overthrow Yan Song, Xu Jie married his granddaughter to Yan Shifan, and even embezzled a lot of land from his own family, which caused widespread complaints and was extremely unpopular.

If Zhang Juzheng had not protected Xu Jie, Hai Rui would have probably dealt with him. Even so, after Zhang Juzheng's downfall, Xu Jie's reputation was ruined.

Now Huang Kezun actually said that he wanted to use Xu Jie's method, and several people's faces looked a little unhappy.

At the beginning, Xu Jie had no integrity at all in front of Yan Song, but now he actually wants to learn from him?

Do I have to go and surrender to Wei Zhongxian?

Huang Kezun didn't bother to look at their expressions and continued, "Do you remember Lan Daoxing?"

After hearing this name, several people were stunned, and then began to think about it.

Then, several people looked up at Xu Guangqi, with some inexplicable expressions on their faces.

They were naturally familiar with the name Lan Daoxing.

Lan Daoxing lived during the Jiajing period and was from Shandong. He was a famous Taoist priest at the time and also believed in the Wang Yangming school of thought.

In the 34th year of the Jiajing reign, Lan Daoxing came to the capital from Shandong. He was later recommended to the devout Taoist Emperor Jiajing by Xu Jie, the then Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and won the trust of the emperor himself.

Later, Lan Daoxing attacked Yan Song, the then chief minister of the cabinet, in front of Emperor Jiajing, and was retaliated by Yan Song.

Yan Song instructs his grandson Yan Hongji to imprison Lan Daoxing and persecute him to death.

Lan Daoxing is both a Taoist priest and a believer in the philosophy of mind.

Now they understood Huang Kezun's intention. Your Majesty believed in that Taoist priest, and Wei Zhongxian had caused a lot of trouble because of him. In that case, let's find another Taoist priest.

As long as they could find a Taoist priest who could stand on the same front as them and replace Han Li, many things would be much easier to handle, and they might even be able to take the opportunity to get rid of Wei Zhongxian.

Several people immediately thought this was a good idea and more reliable.

As for the reason why they looked at Xu Guangqi, it was also very simple. They felt that Xu Guangqi was the most suitable person to do this.

After all, Lan Daoxing was originally a disciple of their school of psychology, so it would not be difficult to find another similar one.

Another point is that Xu Guangqi has the deep trust of His Majesty, so His Majesty will also trust him if he is asked to do this matter.

You know, this is very important.

Once His Majesty has doubts, there will be no need to continue this strategy.

Xu Guangqi saw that everyone was looking at him, and his expression darkened. He didn't think these people had any good intentions.

Indeed, this is a good idea, but it may not necessarily lead to a good outcome.

Because if the recommended person is liked by Your Majesty, then everyone will be happy; but if this person is disliked by Your Majesty, then the person who recommended him will also suffer the consequences.

When one reaches the position that Xu Guangqi and his colleagues are in, there are some things that are completely unnecessary to do. Because it is good not to do them, stability becomes very important.

So this matter is risky. Under such circumstances, they gave this matter to me. On the surface, it seems that they trust me very much and are giving me a chance; but in fact, they may be digging a hole to bury themselves.

Maybe just one thing won't work, but when the critical moment comes, it may very well become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
