Looking at the young man in front of him, Han Yu's face showed no expression, but his heart was not calm.
He knew that the question Zhang Yu asked was actually just to give him face and make him feel that he was the protagonist of this matter.
But everything from the beginning to now has been within Zhang Yu's plan.
Although his face remained expressionless, Han Yu couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.
However, seeing Zhang Yu being so sensible, Han Yu felt somewhat relieved, so he asked, "What do you think?"
Zhang Yu originally thought that Han Yu would make the decision himself, but he didn't expect him to ask him directly.
This made Zhang Yu's heart move, and he couldn't help but look up at Han Yu.
He wanted to see clearly whether Han Yu's words were true or false. However, such an old fox would surely be able to remain calm, so Zhang Yu could not see anything.
After a brief pause, Zhang Yu said, "I think we can begin. Mr. Feng is now the Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which shows that His Majesty trusts him. Our strategy is also going very smoothly. The next step is to help him seek the position of Chief Academician of the Imperial Academy. This is the key step. As long as we accomplish this step, the rest will be easy for us."
After saying this, Zhang Yu took a step back, looked up at Han Yu, and waited for him to give him an answer.
In fact, Zhang Yu was very nervous. He didn't know whether Han Yu would agree to his request.
Because no matter from which perspective, Feng Congwu was the one who benefited more from being the chief academic officer of the Royal Academy.
Han Yu might have some concerns in his heart. Originally, he would not have such concerns, after all, none of them had the same high official position as Han Yu and still needed to rely on him.
But since meeting His Majesty, the effect has been too good. Both Feng Congwu and I have caught His Majesty's eye, which is likely to make Han Yu feel threatened.
Han Yu would most likely be dissatisfied, and it would be uncertain whether he would stick to his original plan.
Han Yu might want to arrange his own people, but his people might not be approved by His Majesty, which would make things difficult.
Zhang Yu also had another idea in his mind. Perhaps this was what His Majesty meant. He wanted to make the relationship between him and Han Yu less close.
Because only in this way can we all not truly become one party. At that time, whoever Your Majesty is closer to will be more likely to take the throne, and both sides will need to rely on Your Majesty.
After thinking about this, although there was no expression on Zhang Yu's face, he already had an idea in his mind.
The current emperor is indeed a man of deep thoughts, and most importantly, he is also a master of political tactics, and it can be said that he plays political games invisibly.
On the surface, it seemed that he was helping Feng Congwu and himself, while at the same time tying Feng Congwu to himself. But in reality, he was targeting Han Yu, probably wanting to leave him a check and balance.
If this is the case, His Majesty will definitely promote Feng Congwu. I'm afraid that as long as this matter is reported, His Majesty will agree, and Feng Congwu's official position will also be promoted. Only in this way can we compete with Han Yu.
Han Yu looked at Zhang Yu deeply.
This plan is no longer that beneficial to Han Yu, but he knows that he cannot stop.
Now that the matter has reached His Majesty, if we stop it suddenly, it will be more harm than good. Even if we want to turn against each other, now is not the time.
Han Yu stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "You are right. Now is indeed the best time, and it is also very urgent. The Royal Academy examination is about to begin. We must push Feng Congwu up before the academy exam. This old man will arrange this matter."
Zhang Yu quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher."
Han Yu nodded and said with a smile, "We have a new cook at home. I heard he's from the northwest and can cook your hometown dishes. You can stay for dinner tonight."
Zhang Yu quickly smiled and said, "Then the student is disturbing the teacher."
Han Yu and Zhang Yu looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Now the two sides are in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and no one wants to cause trouble or have disagreements at this time, so the relationship can still continue.
In the West Garden, in the pavilion by the lake.
Zhu Youxiao sat in a rocking chair, rocking gently, occasionally opening his eyes to look at the setting sun in the distance, his face showing a relaxed expression.
Next to him was a table with a pile of question books on it.
Speaking of which, it has been a while since I last looked at the question book like this. Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that after becoming emperor, he would be very busy every day, all of which would be related to national affairs.
But after doing it for such a long time, Zhu Youxiao found that it was not the case at all.
Normally, so-called national affairs were handled by the cabinet and the court officials. If there was a famine, they would send money and grain to provide relief; if there was a disturbance, they would send troops to quell the rebellion.
As an emperor, you don't have to worry about these so-called big things, because there are a set of rules and regulations for these things. As long as you follow the rules and regulations, basically there will be no major problems.
Instead, more time should be spent on the personnel of court officials. The competition among them consumes the most time and energy. On weekdays, more attention is paid to the various impeachments and attacks on officials.
Today you impeach me, and tomorrow I impeach you. These seem to be simple things, but the reasons hidden behind them are not so simple.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
