They have been planning for such a long time, but isn't it all for the Royal Academy?
So in this situation, Zhang Yu and Feng Congwu were a little hesitant.
However, this hesitation didn't last long, as Feng Congwu and the others tacitly agreed to the matter. This was His Majesty's words, and there was no way to change them.
Feng Congwu then took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I, Feng Congwu, thank you."
Feng Congwu and Feng Congwu felt mixed emotions.
In fact, they had always wanted to take their relationship a step closer, but had never taken any action. This time, their wish had been fulfilled, and it was witnessed by His Majesty, which was very important.
However, Feng Congwu was not that happy either. The reason was very simple. Today he got to know another side of Zhang Yu, which made him feel very uneasy.
I'm so closely tied to Zhang Yu, if anything were to happen to him, I'd be in big trouble. At that point, I'd definitely be implicated, and I'd probably end up in big trouble.
But His Majesty wants to tie the two of us together, so we have to listen. Feng Congwu felt more worried than happy.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Okay, get up. Just do your work well from now on."
Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to chat with them too much today, just to determine the next topic. There would be plenty of time to discuss later. After all, he had already allowed Feng Congwu to enter the palace once every three days, and also asked Zhang Yu to accompany him.
As for why he let the two of them enter the palace together, the reason was very simple. Zhu Youxiao wanted to instill his own ideas into their minds, which was why he valued Feng Congwu and Zhang Yu.
Neither Xu Guangqi nor Huang Kezun possessed this quality.
Xu Guangqi's philosophy is about mind-learning, which is applicable in some areas but not in others.
As for Huang Kexun, although he is now promoting Xunzi, it is more of a political opportunism, which is not in line with his own wishes and is very inconvenient to manipulate.
However, Zhu Youxiao did not have such concerns for Feng Congwu and Zhang Yu, and they could draw whatever they wanted.
This is what Zhu Youxiao has always wanted to do.
Now that they are here, let them do it naturally.
"It's getting late today, you should leave." Zhu Youxiao looked at the two people and said with a smile.
"I'll take my leave."
"Students take their leave." Feng Congwu and the others said hurriedly.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.
After Feng Congwu and the other man left, Zhu Youxiao stood up, stretched his body gently, and a smile appeared on his face.
He was in a really good mood today, so he turned around and went to find Queen Zhang.
The news that His Majesty had met with Feng Congwu could not be concealed and soon spread throughout the officialdom in the capital.
Feng Congwu's direct promotion from Shangbaoqing to Youtongzheng of Tongzhengsi naturally became a hot topic of discussion.
Everyone is eyeing the official hats, big and small, in the officialdom, and everyone is fighting for each one.
Although the position of You Tongzheng is not very high, and the status of Tongzhengsi is not very high either, it seems insignificant, but this position represents that you have stepped into the central power center, which has a different meaning.
If you are sent out in the future, it will correspond to a very high position.
The most crucial point is that His Majesty allowed Feng Congwu to enter the palace to give lectures, which made many people confused.
Although His Majesty has always invited people to the palace to give lectures, why did he choose Feng Congwu?
So more information was dug out and spread throughout the capital.
Zhang Yu entered the palace with Feng Congwu, and Zhang Yu worshipped Feng Congwu as his master in the presence of His Majesty. This made many people smell something was up.
In recent times, Zhang Yu has gained quite a reputation in the official circles of the capital.
A mere juren, who just recently became a disciple of the cabinet chief Han Yu, and now also became a disciple of Feng Congwu. No one would believe you if you say there is no connection between them.
So the general outline came out, the whole thing was caused by the chief minister of the cabinet, Han Yu.
Suddenly, many people felt a chill in their hearts. The cabinet ministers in the court had basically begun to find their own positions, and then a huge fight would follow.
As Feng Congwu's proposal became known, this point became even more certain to everyone.
Inside Xu Guangqi's house.
Xu Guangqi, Shen Tingyun and Li Zhizao were all there, and all three of them had a look of helplessness on their faces.
Things started to get a little unfavorable for them as everyone started to attack them.
Li Zhizao and Shen Tingyun looked at each other.
Shen Tingyun said with a sullen face: “I’m afraid it will be even more difficult to attend court in the future.”
Xu Guangqi on the side continued, "There's nothing we can do about this. Although His Majesty has great ambitions, who can truly predict what's happening in the court? We can only take it one step at a time."
Li Zhizao nodded and said, "That's the only way."
In Huang Kezun's home.
Huang Kezun put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at his son beside him, and said solemnly, "There will be unrest in the court again."
"Father, what are you going to do next?" Huang Yongji looked at Huang Kezun with some concern and said with some hesitation.
"It's better to be quiet than to move. Your father has been quite flamboyant for a while now. From now on, I just need to bide my time and start to put the Ministry of Justice in order. Things in this world are easier said than done."
"Many times we still have to get things done. Talking alone is useless. People's true nature will be revealed over time." Huang Kezhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, appearing to be in no hurry at all.
