"I don't have any suitable candidates." Xu Guangqi said expressionlessly, "After all, I'm not familiar with these matters. If anyone of you knows someone familiar or has a suitable candidate, please recommend them."
After hearing what Xu Guangqi said, several people knew that he probably didn't want to do it anymore.
So they looked at each other and found that they didn't seem to want to do it either.
The reason is very simple. If this thing is done, it is too easy to arouse the resentment of His Majesty. After all, once it is done, it will definitely cause a counterattack from Wei Zhongxian and others, and at that time the gain will not outweigh the loss.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
At this time, Sun Chengzong stood up and said, "I'll find the right person to do this. But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. How can we stop the Jinyiwei and Wei Zhongxian?"
"They are causing trouble in front of His Majesty. We must destroy the so-called secret petition system and cannot allow them to act so recklessly. What good solutions do you have? Is the only way to admonish them?"
This method was not a good one. Although they did not have any concrete evidence, they knew that His Majesty was not the kind of person who would listen to others.
Basically, His Majesty doesn't even look at these messy petitions. Even if you write one and submit it, it's likely to have limited effect.
Therefore, finding a Taoist priest to enter the palace is a long-term solution, but what is needed now is a method that can produce results in the short term.
But now things happened suddenly, and the three of them didn't have a good solution for the time being.
"Let's leave it at that for now," Han Yu said solemnly. "Everyone, go back and think about it. Is there a more appropriate solution? In the meantime, let's have everyone write in the memorial. Remember, don't have everyone write in the memorial, and don't be too harsh in your words. Your Majesty is still young."
After saying this, Han Yu slowly glanced at the crowd.
Your Majesty is still young. Although this sentence does not have many words, it contains a lot of meaning.
Because we are young, we are ignorant; because we are young, we have a stubborn temper; because we are young, we are rebellious.
Combining Han Yu's previous and subsequent statements, several people understood. The more you forbid His Majesty to do something, the more likely he will do it. So, don't force it; try to persuade him from the right angle.
So several people nodded together and went their separate ways.
After work, Han Yu went straight home. On the way, he sent someone to find Zhang Yu.
For Han Yu, Zhang Yu is now a trustworthy person, and he wants to ask Zhang Yu what he thinks about the secret report system.
Because in Han Yu's eyes, Zhang Yu was better at dealing with people like Wei Zhongxian, the Eastern Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
To deal with a sinister villain, you have to find a villain who is more sinister than him.
"Hello, teacher." After seeing Han Yu, Zhang Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted with a respectful tone and very thorough etiquette, without the slightest impoliteness.
"There's no need to be so polite in private. Sit down and have some tea." Han Yu said with a smile.
After Zhang Yu sat down, Han Yu said, "Someone just sent two sheep to our house. I have already asked someone to take care of them. You can stay for dinner tonight."
"Yes, teacher." Zhang Yu agreed respectfully.
After taking a sip of tea, Han Yu continued, "I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
After saying this, Han Yu told Zhang Yu the whole story.
After hearing Han Yu's words, Zhang Yu's expression instantly became serious.
But after thinking about it, he smiled, looked up at Han Yu and said, "Teacher, I think you seem to be thinking in the wrong direction. Why do you have to stop it? In this world, many things are better left unchecked than blocked."
Han Yu said thoughtfully, "Then tell me in detail."
"When it comes to the ability to deceive Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian and his ilk are certainly a hundred times better than you, my teacher. As a scholar, I naturally wouldn't do anything like deceiving the emperor. But this is the case. If I go against them, I'm worried that it's you, my teacher, who will suffer."
"Although the teacher is of high moral character and serves the country and the people without seeking fame or profit, and even at the cost of his own life, as the Prime Minister, he naturally has the responsibility to support the country and stop the eunuchs. Therefore, he should retain his position until he can be of use."
Han Yu looked at Zhang Yu, stroked his beard and smiled.
This is a pleasant thing to hear. It affirms his character and status, and shows that one should not confront villains head-on, not because one is afraid of death.
It seems that Zhang Yu has already understood the ins and outs of officialdom. He can be well cultivated and I believe he will have a bright future.
At the same time, Han Yu also felt relieved. From what Zhang Yu meant, he knew that he had a solution, which was a good thing.
Han Yu said to Zhang Yu, "What do you want to say? Feel free to speak."
"Yes, teacher." Zhang Yu quickly agreed, and then continued, "Teacher, this may not be a bad thing."
"Everyone knows that once this is accomplished, the Imperial Guards and the Eastern Depot will undoubtedly gain immense power, and from then on they will be able to persecute anyone they wish. This is also what you, the teachers, are most worried about, right?"
Han Yu nodded. This was certainly what they were most worried about.
This is a very bad signal, as it means that the eunuch party is about to extend its hands to the court.
In fact, they did so. For example, Cui Chengxiu from the Censorate colluded with Wei Zhongxian.
However, this kind of thing happens quite often, with several happening in every generation, so the civil servants don’t care much about it.
