The matter of the scholars' fight had already been decided, so Han Yu and the other two would not discuss it any further and let the matter go.
Xu Guangqi raised his head and looked at Han Yu and the other man and said, "What do you think about the situation in Liaodong?"
After hearing this, both Han Yu and Huang Kezun's expressions became serious.
The Liaodong incident was far more serious than the scholar fight just now. Even if no one intervened to stop the scholars from fighting, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Those people were just clowns.
The longer they worked with His Majesty, the more Han Yu and the others understood one thing: as long as His Majesty supported them, the power in the court would be in the hands of them, and those below would be nothing but clowns.
Although they were far inferior to powerful officials like Yan Song, who was opposed by the whole world and criticized by countless people at that time, what was the use?
As long as the emperor supports Yan Song, he will have power over the country.
However, if things in Liaodong are not handled properly, there will be big problems.
"We must send the men as soon as possible." Han Yu looked at Xu Guangqi and said directly, "We have no say over the Imperial Guards. But with the Emperor's decree, they won't dare to stop us. They should act soon. We must cooperate where we can and absolutely cannot make any mistakes."
Han Yu instructed in a serious tone, "Tell the people below that if anyone dares to mess with this matter, I will send him to Qiongzhou."
Now Han Yu has firmly established himself as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and with the support of Your Majesty, his position is very stable.
Now with the support of Huang Kezun and others, and with Feng Congwu and others training talents for Han Yu, Han Yu's power in the court has expanded greatly recently, and more and more people have defected to him, so he naturally speaks with more confidence.
Xu Guangqi didn't find it strange. In fact, he was also constantly developing his own manpower.
Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "I know about this matter, and the people below also know the seriousness of it and will not cause trouble. The key issue is not this, you know what I mean."
After hearing this, Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
He really didn't want to mention that incident. It was already a headache when he heard about it, and it was even more troublesome to mention it now.
When our Majesty was in the capital, it was still okay. Everyone could still give him some advice. Although he was sometimes willful, he was still willing to listen to others. As long as what you said made sense, His Majesty would listen to it to some extent.
But ever since His Majesty left the capital for Zhangjiakou, he immediately let himself go, and what he did was totally unpredictable and incomprehensible.
For example, this time when he married a wife, although she was a ten-year-old girl from the family of the Khorchin Khan, and although she was just a concubine, the impact was huge.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no case of marrying foreign women. Even if someone had a foreign woman at home, it would not be made public.
It was not strange for the emperor to like foreign women, and there were foreign women in the palace. However, they were all kept secret and even couldn't have children.
The more famous one is the father of the current emperor, Emperor Taichang.
The emperor who died a month after ascending the throne was originally in good health, but after ascending the throne, he became somewhat unbridled, perhaps due to being suppressed for too long. In one night, he had sex with ten women, all kinds of women, even some from foreign races. After playing with them for more than half a month, his health collapsed.
But the current emperor was different. He wanted to marry a woman from a foreign ethnic group, and a Mongolian, and make her his concubine. This would have a formal title, which had a different meaning and was likely to cause trouble in the court.
Seeing Han Yu's silence, Xu Guangqi frowned and asked, "Does Lord Han think this matter is inappropriate?"
In this matter, Xu Guangqi intended to support Zhu Youxiao.
In Xu Guangqi's eyes, the current emperor was a perfect emperor. Although there were some flaws, those flaws were not worth considering.
After all, in Xu Guangqi's view, His Majesty's flaws were simply due to his youth and impulsiveness. However, His Majesty was also very rational, listened to others' advice, and made his own decisions on everything.
Moreover, His Majesty is a frugal person and does not like women. There is only one queen and two imperial concubines in the palace, and he has never even favored other women.
There are very few emperors like this, and it can be said that they are extremely rare.
Whether it is on the Academy of Craftsmen or on strengthening the army, His Majesty does not feel sorry for spending money, and even spends all the money in the inner treasury.
What else can be said about such an emperor?
Xu Guangqi saw what His Majesty had done in Zhangjiakou as a great relief. Those people had no home or country, and their only concern was money. Killing them was best, but even the entire family could be executed.
As for their property, it would be a good thing if it was all confiscated. After all, the country is short of money now, and these people's ill-gotten gains can just enrich the national treasury.
This money will be of great use whether it is used to expand military arsenals or to save the people affected by the disaster.
Besides, it was not a big deal for His Majesty to marry that Mongolian girl, after all, His Majesty had his own plans. It was obvious that His Majesty wanted to sow discord between Mongolia and the Jiannu, and Xu Guangqi knew this.
Although he didn't know what His Majesty would do, it didn't matter. He believed His Majesty could do it well. In this regard, His Majesty was capable. So Xu Guangqi didn't object to this matter at all.
