Han Yu was a little confused.
Although the time was not very long, through this incident, Han Yu found that the situation in the court was becoming more and more complicated. It was not surprising that everyone was involved with whom. This was the formation of a new court force.
Just like Huang Kezun before, he had always been a good guy, not offending anyone and being impartial. But this time he also emerged, obviously he also saw an opportunity.
This gave Han Yu some strange thoughts in his mind.
"My dear Zhao, why don't you just tell me directly?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I simply feel that this matter doesn't require long-term consideration. As for causing criticism or dissatisfaction among the lower ranks, the court is left to their own satisfaction or dissatisfaction with its work."
"Besides, if we were to formulate the imperial examination curriculum, there would definitely be people who would be dissatisfied. If it pertains to their strengths, they would be very happy; but if it pertains to things they are not good at or have never learned, then they would definitely be dissatisfied. There is no way to please everyone in this world. Instead of dwelling on this, we should think about what is best for the Ming Dynasty."
"So I think we should cut the Gordian knot and let the Ministry of Rites do it directly. It will be quick and easy. After all, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the imperial examinations, so they can do whatever is most appropriate for them. If we select some unknown people to come in and let them interfere in the compilation of the imperial examination curriculum, it will make things worse. So I think what Lord Xu said makes sense."
This statement was a bit impolite, but Zhao Nanxing did not mean to leave any room for maneuver.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Nanxing finished speaking, Zhou Jiamo's face became a little ugly.
What does it mean to select some unknown people to come in?
What kind of person is called ignorant?
This still made no sense, so Zhou Jiamo wanted to stand up and refute it.
But before Zhou Jiamo could take a step forward, another person stood up. This person was Yu Maoheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.
Seeing Yu Maoheng stand up, everyone's expression became serious.
Many people present knew that Yu Maoheng was actually His Majesty's man, because he had stood on His Majesty's side from the very beginning. Therefore, Yu Maoheng's words largely represented His Majesty's intentions.
However, Zhu Youxiao did not think so, because he did not give Yu Maoheng any hints at all, nor did he want Yu Maoheng to be involved in this matter.
Zhu Youxiao called Yu Maoheng over simply to improve his status and allow him to participate in high-level meetings in the court.
Not everyone has such qualifications. This will not only win the respect of everyone present, but also shock those people in the Censorate when you return.
But now seeing Yu Maoheng preparing to speak, Zhu Youxiao was quite curious about what he was going to say.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Xu said makes sense. This matter should be done as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more problems will arise. The Ministry of Rites should be responsible for its own affairs. There is no need to mobilize a large force."
Judging from the situation at the scene, Minister of Rites Shen Tingyun supported Xu Guangqi. In addition, Minister of Works Zhao Nanxing also expressed his position. In addition, Xu Guangqi himself was the Minister of Revenue. He already occupied three of the six ministries.
Together with Yu Maoheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, Xu Guangqi had already seized more than half of the power in the court.
On the other hand, Sun Chengzong only had the support of the Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo, and that was it. The Minister of Punishment Huang Kezun had not yet expressed his stance.
Sun Chengzong himself was the Minister of War. Among the six ministries, he occupied two departments, the last one being Huang Kexun of the Ministry of Justice.
Han Yu had no stance, and no one among the six ministers supported him. He was considered a rather miserable chief minister of the cabinet.
However, Zhu Youxiao felt something unusual from this.
When did Xu Guangqi become so popular?
When did Xu Guangqi become a leader?
It’s not that Zhu Youxiao felt that Xu Guangqi didn’t have the ability, but it was an ideological issue. He always felt that someone in the world was praising Xu Guangqi.
Zhu Youxiao's gaze swept across the faces of several people present.
Whether it was the chief minister of the cabinet, Han Yu, Sun Chengzong, or even Huang Kexun, all of them had this ability. Zhu Youxiao would not be surprised if it was any one of them who did it.
But this matter will be investigated later. Now, not to mention myself, even Xu Guangqi could only suffer a loss in silence.
Everyone's eyes fell on Huang Kezun, because he and Han Yu were the only ones left at the scene who had not expressed their opinions.
Now it is Huang Kexun's turn to express his opinion, especially since his case is more serious because he had previously put forward Xunzi's statement.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Sun and Lord Xu said are both inappropriate." Huang Kezun said slowly.
When these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Is Huang Kezun not planning to join the team? Or does he have other ideas?
Now, no one dares to underestimate a person like Huang Kezun, and everyone is on guard against him at all times.
Under such circumstances, every word Huang Kezun said must be considered seriously and carefully, and there must not be any negligence.
"Then what good ideas do you have, my dear? Please tell me." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"I believe this matter cannot be left solely to the Ministry of Rites, nor can we recruit too many people for extensive references. This would not only hinder efficiency but also lead to widespread discussion."
"Therefore, I believe that the court should send an important official to set up a temporary government office specifically responsible for this matter. This office can be headed by the Ministry of Rites. After all, this matter itself is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so it is not surprising that the Ministry of Rites is in charge. At the same time, some people related to the matter can also be invited to discuss the matter with each other."
