Han Yu and the other two glanced at Huang Kezun, then nodded slightly, which meant they agreed with what he said.
Next, the four cabinet ministers began to discuss the matter further, wanting to complete the whole thing more completely, at least to be wary of Wei Zhongxian's attacks and not let him mess things up.
For the four people present, things have come to this point and there are not many options left.
Just like Han Yu said, it's better to stay like this than to go against His Majesty. As for some shortcomings, it doesn't matter, we can avoid them.
In the pavilion in the West Garden.
The weather was a bit hot, and Zhu Youxiao leaned against the marble pillar with an expressionless face, feeling the slight coolness while listening to Chen Hong reading the questions for him.
Just when Chen Hong was about to continue reading, he gently raised his hand and Chen Hong stopped.
Zhu Youxiao gently opened his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
My guess turned out to be correct. These people finally chose to take this power into their own hands.
This is actually quite easy to guess. Even though this power has many drawbacks, it is still power. The cabinet does not need to offend itself over this matter. Of course, this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, there is no need for them to go against power. Who would be afraid of having too much power?
Of course, they also think that the drawbacks of this power are not a problem. People always have such confidence.
Usually, when you see someone doing something stupid, your first reaction is:
If it were me, I definitely wouldn't do that.
So it is not surprising that the cabinet has made such a decision now.
However, Zhu Youxiao knew very well in his heart that he could not allow them to continue doing this.
After a moment's silence, Zhu Youxiao said calmly, "Let the ministers discuss this."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed, put the question book aside, and then went out to deliver the message.
Since the emperor had given instructions for this matter, there could be no delay. The most important thing was that he had been involved in this matter from the very beginning until now.
Judging from the Emperor's work style, this matter was of great importance to the Emperor. Under such circumstances, Chen Hong dared not make any mistakes.
After the news spread, the court was in an uproar and countless people began to discuss this matter.
However, at this time, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of arguing with them. He was listening to Feng Congwu's lecture.
Since the last incident, Feng Congwu's lectures in the palace have become a routine for Zhu Youxiao.
Zhang Yu was serving on the side, and snacks and tea were placed on the tables around.
Feng Congwu spoke eloquently at the lecturer's seat.
"What we are talking about today is to get rid of frivolity and be pragmatic."
Listening to Feng Congwu's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
After Feng Congwu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Have some tea, the weather is hot."
"I thank Your Majesty." Feng Congwu bowed quickly and said.
After saying this, he honestly picked up the tea and drank a cup. After all, he was a little thirsty after talking for such a long time.
After Feng Congwu finished drinking the water, Zhu Youxiao said, "After hearing what you just said, I have an idea. In your opinion, shouldn't everything be based on reality?
"Whether in academics or in government, the most important thing is to seek truth from facts. Never lie or make false reports, and never be frivolous."
Zhu Youxiao said this with a smile, then raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yu with a meaningful smile on his face.
Although it was Feng Congwu who gave him lectures, Zhu Youxiao basically confirmed during this period that it was Zhang Yu who would compile these ideas later.
So Zhu Youxiao said that to Zhang Yu, and he believed that Zhang Yu could understand what he meant.
In fact, Zhang Yu did understand.
Because he had previously promoted a saying by Zhu Youxiao, which was that practice is the only criterion for testing truth; and now he has proposed a pragmatic style of seeking truth from facts. They seem somewhat similar, and in fact they do complement each other.
With this guiding ideology, we can use this pragmatic idea to eliminate the extravagant style in officialdom and let all officials work in accordance with this idea.
So Zhang Yu also understood what the emperor wanted to do.
Feng Congwu had roughly figured it out these days, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and knowledgeable. I am truly far inferior to you."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Feng Congwu and chuckled, saying, "I am truly inspired by your words. Today has been quite fruitful. Come, reward your beloved Feng with a jade ruyi."
Chen Hong, who was standing next to Zhu Youxiao, said quickly, "I'll go get it ready right away."
Feng Congwu quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao nodded gently and said gently, "Your teaching has been good these days, and I am very satisfied."
"A few days ago, Han Yu, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, recommended you to me for the position of Chief Priest of the Imperial Academy. He told me that you are a man of profound learning, and that you have been teaching and educating people for many years, and that you have many students all over the world."
"Originally, I was still a little hesitant, but after listening to your lectures these days, I realized that Han Yu did not deceive me."
When they heard Zhu Youxiao say this, both Feng Congwu and Zhang Yu's expressions became serious, and they were extremely excited in their hearts.
This matter has been going on for so long, and it seems that today is finally coming to an end. Both of them can't help but be happy.
