Han Yu reacted quickly, so naturally the others were not slow either.
Since they took the Tongzhengsi into consideration, the first people that came to mind were naturally the people from the Tongzhengsi, and Feng Congwu naturally caught the eyes of several people.
The relationship between Han Yu and Feng Congwu was no secret, and everyone thought of him first.
"I think it's appropriate." After taking a deep look at Han Yu, Sun Chengzong was the first to speak in agreement.
He also has the Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo as an ally, so once the situation unfolds, he will have something to do.
Officials in the Tongzhengsi could be adjusted through the Ministry of Personnel. This matter itself was proposed by Huang Kezun, and he naturally had his own ideas.
Once this matter is finalized, someone will have to investigate if someone reports it, and the ones involved will definitely be the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate. He can take this opportunity to expand his power.
Xu Guangqi looked at the three of them and knew very well that they all had their own plans, but he was not worried because he did not rely on this.
As for the possibility of officials impeaching each other, Xu Guangqi was not too worried. He had the fewest people, and besides, he didn't think it was a bad thing.
What became of the officialdom and administration of the Ming Dynasty?
When Xu Guangqi was training his troops, he was often harassed by his superiors. If there had been a secret petition system at that time, he would have submitted a secret petition to impeach his superiors long ago.
The four people each had different thoughts and decided on this matter.
"I'll write the question book and then sign it jointly." Han Yu nodded and said.
It would not have come to this originally, but now that the cabinet has been impeached, it must write a memorial to explain itself; several cabinet ministers must also sign a joint petition to express the cabinet's attitude.
Then it would be only natural to write down the cabinet's attitude on this petition.
The other three people had no objections either. After all, they had just reached a common agreement, so they nodded in agreement with Han Yu's statement.
After Han Yu finished writing the title, he gave it to Sun Chengzong and the other two to read.
All three said it was meaningless, and there was nothing much to say about Han Yu's writing style and his composition.
After all, Han Yu has been in the cabinet for so many years, so writing an official document should have no problem for him.
So the three of them attached their names to the petition and sent it directly to the palace.
After several twists and turns, the title fell into Zhu Youxiao's hands.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao got the question book, he took it and read it.
After reading the question book, Zhu Youxiao smiled lightly and put it aside.
It’s a good thing actually. It’s going according to my plan and it didn’t disappoint me.
Zhu Youxiao casually handed the petition to Chen Hong and said, "Spread the news as soon as possible. By the way, tell them to follow the cabinet's advice and send it to the Imperial Household Department for approval."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed and left with the question book in his hands.
Things ended successfully according to Zhu Youxiao's plan.
Of course, this could just be the beginning, so Zhu Youxiao had to choose a suitable person to take over.
While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, Chen Hong came back from outside.
He held a memorial in his hand and walked straight to Zhu Youxiao, saying, "Your Majesty, here is a memorial submitted by Mei Zhihuan, the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Rites."
Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned.
Mei Zhihuan, this name sounds so familiar, but I forgot where I heard it. At this time, Chen Hong gave me the question book, obviously with other intentions.
Zhu Youxiao reached out and took the question book, flipped through it, and indeed found some interesting things.
Mei Zhihuan's memorial did not contain much information, only one thing, which was to redress Zhang Juzheng's innocence.
At this time, it is quite interesting for Mei Zhihuan to submit such a question book.
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly read on.
In this question book, Mei Zhihuan wrote:
In today's country, the people are poor, the treasury is empty, bandits are rampant, and the army is weak.
Censors do not discuss state affairs, but engage in factional disputes; officials abandon their duties and make empty speeches. The affairs of state are completely shackled by false words.
When someone tries to make some reforms, he is either accused of meddling or is particularly harsh on him. If the reforms fail, slander will ensue, and justice will not be served, but enemies will be made in droves.
The heroes are discouraged, the mediocre are in power, and the country's affairs can no longer be carried out.
Mei Zhihuan raised the question. At the end of the question book, he also gave a solution.
This is a very interesting official, and what he said really hit the nail on the head. This is the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.
Only by strictly examining officials and requiring them to seek truth from facts, by clearing channels for speech to strengthen organizational discipline, and by distinguishing between praise and criticism to cherish talents, can the country have hope.
At the end of the memorial, Mei Zhihuan also secretly supported the secret memorial system.
The reason why Mei Zhihuan did not come out openly was very simple.
This secret reporting system was proposed by the eunuch party. Before the cabinet expresses its position, it is better for a minor official like him not to express his opinion.
This official has ideas and attitudes, knows how to do things, and knows when to advance and retreat. He can be used!
There was a sentence in Mei Zhihuan's memorial that made Zhu Youxiao laugh.
In his notebook, he said: "A person who clings to a villain is definitely a villain, and a person who clings to a gentleman is not necessarily a gentleman. A fly clinging to a horse remains a fly even if it travels a thousand miles."
At the end, Mei Zhihuan mentioned Zhang Juzheng: If there were someone today who could assess the status quo and rectify disciplines like Zhang Juzheng did, would those shameless villains who slander and frame others still dare to be so rampant?
