In official circles, this kind of thing is nothing new, and changing one's allegiance is a common practice.
Although changing one's job is often despised by officials, officials are often so realistic. Isn't it normal to climb up the powerful and look down on the weak, and to flatter the powerful and do what is wrong?
But there was one thing Xu Guangqi didn't understand: why did Yu Maoheng want to join his teacher's school?
You have to know that Yu Maoheng is now a favorite of His Majesty. The most important thing he should do is not change anything. He is already popular enough. Not changing means that he can continue to be popular. So why does Yu Maoheng want to change his allegiance?
So many people would not choose to change their club at this time, but Yu Maoheng did so.
There is something wrong here! Xu Guangqi used his toes to think that there was something fishy going on, but Yu Maoheng was afraid that he could not tell him the reason.
Glancing at Yu Maoheng, Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "If Lord Yu is willing, that would be very good."
Yu Maoheng nodded, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
The two people did not talk about any sensitive topics next, but instead started a discussion based on doctrine.
With Yu Maoheng's deliberate hospitality, the two of them talked happily and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In fact, for officials in the government, it is not that important what doctrine or school they belong to.
The importance of doctrines and schools of thought lies in their ability to win over the people and form cliques for personal gain. Everything else is unimportant. Many bureaucrats don't adhere to the principles of doctrine. What use are they? What do they use?
Do you really think that Huang-Lao school and Confucianism are competing for the orthodoxy?
Actually not.
They are actually fighting for dominance over this world.
To put it in a broader sense, he wanted to let his own doctrines rule the world; to put it in a narrower sense, he wanted everyone in his school to rule the world.
Whether you start from a young age or a big one, there are many benefits.
Forbidden City, Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When Zhu Youxiao heard Chen Hong's report, he knew that Yu Maoheng had accepted the memorial he had sent.
He was immediately satisfied; he hadn't misjudged the person. Yu Maoheng was indeed the right person. As long as he stirred up some trouble, the court would be in turmoil. Then he would have room to maneuver.
For an emperor, it is not a good thing for the court to be too calm.
Whether they are corrupt officials or honest officials, if they work together, the emperor will suffer a lot.
Needless to say, corrupt officials will take all the country's money to their own homes. By then, the country will have no money, and the emperor will be dead.
As for the honest officials, they have many demands on the emperor, and no one knows what their abilities are.
In a word, if the officials in the court are united as one, you will not be able to become the emperor.
Like the Donglin Party, who appeared to be honest and upright, but were actually corrupt, how could the emperor tolerate this?
Zhu Youxiao wanted them to fight each other. If they didn't fight, how could he profit from it?
The best way to deal with ministers is always to use them, rather than doing it yourself.
Chen Hong handed the memorial to Zhu Youxiao and said softly, "Your Majesty, these are the memorials that the cabinet has just sent over."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the pile on the table in front of him and was stunned. There were quite a few question books here.
Although there have been a lot of question books these days, most of them have not been delivered. This is the most that have been delivered recently.
After taking a look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao signaled him to put down the question book, and then picked up another one.
The emperor and his minister had been together for such a long time that Zhu Youxiao knew Chen Hong very well.
Although Chen Hong has many little thoughts, he still does things in a very appropriate way. Such a person would not do something inexplicable.
Chen Hong must have his reasons for sending so many question books together.
After opening the question book and taking a look, Zhu Youxiao's pupils shrank.
He finally understood why Chen Hong sent so many question books together.
Because these question books are different from any previous ones, the contents in these question books are unprecedented.
In the past, most of the contents of the memorials were about impeaching Wei Zhongxian and defending Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian and others.
However, the pile of memorials sent by Chen Hong this time was different. This time, all of them directly impeached Yao Zongwen and others for colluding with Li Ruzhen and framing Xiong Tingbi. They also said that Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian knew the truth of the matter, but covered it up for Yao Zongwen and others, deceived the emperor, disregarded the emperor's grace, and formed a clique for personal gain.
In addition to these people, the people who submitted the memorials also implicated some other people, such as the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong.
No one who submitted the memorial was spared, and he wrote in great detail on the memorial. He also dug up Fang Congzhe's case, saying that people like Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian had no respect for the emperor and made peace with Fang Congzhe, which was really unworthy of being a minister.
In short, these questionnaires exposed the Donglin Party's true nature in great detail and were extremely vicious.
After reading several question books in a row, Zhu Youxiao found that the content was roughly the same, and he probably understood it in his heart.
To sum it up in one sentence, someone took action and attacked the Donglin Party.
As for who it is?
If you think about it for a while, you will know that it must be one of the cabinet elders, or even several of them, maybe the cabinet's chief minister, Liu Yijing.
Now Zhu Youxiao understood why the Donglin Party was determined to replace Liu Yijing, the chief minister of the cabinet.
