Although Zhu Youxiao was thinking about something, his eyes never left the young man who was talking.
He was very interested in this young man, perhaps he represented a certain type of people.
Zhu Youxiao was very happy with the appearance of such people. To put it bluntly, these were his supporters.
This is actually a problem that Zhu Youxiao has always been worried about. His reforms have touched the interests of too many people. Will there be a situation where everyone is against him?
If that's the case, it will be troublesome.
But if someone supports me, it will be much easier.
Even if there are people who oppose it, that doesn't matter. The current situation is much better. These students from the Royal Academy are willing to support me, which is a good thing for me.
Glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao said, "Please invite that young man over."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed.
The young man was about to leave, and he gathered a few people to follow him. It was obvious that this man had charisma.
Besides the people who came with him, there were some strangers with them.
This made Zhu Youxiao even more interested.
It is rare to hear words that are inspiring and convincing.
It wasn't long before the young man was invited over.
Although the young man didn't know why Chen Hong invited him over, he could tell from Chen Hong's dress that he was not a simple person.
The person behind this person is naturally even more complicated.
After the young man came over, he took a look at Zhu Youxiao and confirmed his guess.
The person in front of me is dressed in a way that makes him look either rich or noble, and the people around him all look like they are from his family.
With guards and servants, bringing so many people out is not an easy task.
The young man clasped his fists towards Zhu Youxiao and said, "May I know your name, sir? What is the matter that you have called me here for?"
"I am Bai Yu."
Zhu Youxiao once again took out his pseudonym, made a gesture of invitation and continued, "It's just that what you just said is very interesting, and I want to invite you to come over and chat."
"Then I shall obey your command." The young man nodded and said, "My name is Shi Kefa, nice to meet you, sir."
After saying this, Shi Kefa sat down opposite Zhu Youxiao.
After hearing this name, Zhu Youxiao was a little unresponsive for a moment.
This name is so big that it is well-known. He can be said to be a famous figure in the late Ming Dynasty.
There was another thing that interested Zhu Youxiao very much. Shi Kefa was a student of Zuo Guangdou.
It is not an ordinary teacher-student relationship. The relationship between the two can be said to be very deep.
Zhu Youxiao looked Shi Kefa up and down and said, "From what you just said, it seems that you admire the current emperor's administration very much and are eager to do something for him. Are you hoping to become famous through this?"
This is a very impolite statement, and it can be said that it is 100% intended to stir up trouble.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Shi Kefa's brows furrowed again. This person in front of him seemed to have bad intentions. Did he call him over just to tell him these things?
I originally thought he was attracted by my words and wanted to hear my detailed explanation, but now it seems that is not the case at all.
Shi Kefa's face was serious, and he said directly in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's policies are certainly worthy of praise. They have never been seen before, and they are the work of emperors throughout history."
This statement is very clear. Only an emperor of all ages can do such a thing. This is a compliment to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao did not comment on this.
He looked at Shi Kefa, nodded, and said, "What good is there? Jiangnan is filled with wailing; the rules of propriety and morality are in chaos. The dignity of scholars has been lost."
Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Youxiao expressionlessly and said, "Corrupt officials are running rampant and lawless, and merchants are bullying the people. The people of the world are already suffering terribly. These people should be severely punished."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Shi Kefa and nodded.
In other words, this was a collision of two different ideologies. Zhu Youxiao was surprised that Shi Kefa would agree with his point of view. After all, Shi Kefa was Zuo Guangdou's student.
Unexpectedly, Shi Kefa actually agreed with it.
In fact, the people's opposition to Zhu Youxiao's ideas has never stopped. It's just that Zhu Youxiao is now more powerful and has suppressed these people.
After the establishment of the Royal Academies in various places, the students who entered the Royal Academies naturally upheld Zhu Youxiao's ideas. Coupled with the propaganda of public opinion, the effect of these people was quite good.
Many people have begun to agree with this theory, because the idea of equality of the four classes has also been supported by many businessmen, which has made this theory more popular and made people feel that it is correct.
In such circumstances, many things can be turned around.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Shi Kefa and said, "I see that your words and deeds are quite impressive. You must not be from an ordinary family, right? Could it be that you are from an official family?"
After hearing this, Shi Kefa hesitated for a moment, looked Zhu Youxiao up and down, and said, "Do you know me?"
Zhu Youxiao simply shook his head and said casually, "I don't know you. I've never seen you before. I just made some guesses based on your words and actions."
"My family has inherited the title of Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and is also a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the capital." Shi Kefa said directly.
This is not a strange thing. Just because your family is a hereditary captain of the Jinyiwei doesn't mean you can become a powerful Jinyiwei.
