Fang Congzhe had actually guessed that Xu Guangqi's promotion was probably the emperor's intention.
But because both Liu Yishui and Han Xu were officials close to the Donglin Party.
And Fang Congzhe knew that these two people had the intention of driving him away.
Therefore, Fang Congzhe had no intention of reminding these two people and only said: "Then please respectfully invite the Holy Judge."
Han Xu didn't expect that Fang Congzhe would still make such a choice, and he couldn't help but persuade him: "Yuan Fu, you have to make an idea."
Han Xu wanted to say, "You are so young, how could you know the power of this thing?", but he did not dare to say it. He was afraid that like Gao Gong, he would be punished for saying, "The ten-year-old emperor can rule the world."
But Fang Congzhe made up his mind to be a weak chief minister who returned the power of governing the country to the emperor and only obeyed and did things. Therefore, he said: "Didn't I already tell you my idea? But didn't Mr. Han think that my opinion was not good?" ?”
Therefore, Han Xu couldn't help but hand over his hand: "Yuan Fu, you misunderstood."
Han Xu wanted Fang Congzhe to take the lead in rejecting Xu Guangqi's memorial proposal, but he was unwilling to take the lead himself and wanted Fang Congzhe to take the lead.
Because Han Xu himself was not a fool, he knew that what Xu Guangqi did was probably due to the emperor's instructions.
But Han Xu didn't expect that Fang Congzhe was unwilling to take the initiative for the benefit of the entire civil servant group, and he felt helpless for a while: "Forget it, let's respectfully ask the emperor to judge."
The three of them handed Xu Guangqi's memorial to the eunuch in the clerk's room who was responsible for collecting the examination and memorial to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for approval.
There were no memorials for memorials in the Ming Dynasty, only the inscriptions and memorials.
According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Huidian", the chapter submitted in the name of the official government is the title version, and the chapter submitted in the name of the official's personal name is the memorial version.
Therefore, what Xu Guangqi presented above was a memorial.
The cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies cannot have direct contact, otherwise, they will be suspected of colluding with each other to evade the emperor.
Therefore, a clerk's room was added to the system, and the clerk's office was required to submit the cabinet's title books and memorials to the ceremonial supervisor.
However, because the memorial of Xu Guangqi submitted by the cabinet this time did not have a draft, the Director of Ceremonies, after receiving Xu Guangqi's memorial, needed to submit the memorial to the emperor for the emperor to draft it himself.
Therefore, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, had to bring Xu Guangqi's memorial to Zhu Youxiao.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao was making a new spinning machine with a group of eunuchs who were good at carpentry.
And this spinning machine is naturally the Jenny spinning machine that will be famous in the history of industry.
The Jenny spinning machine is a wooden machine that can be made by hand, so it is not difficult to make.
Because Zhu Youxiao had added a lot of important information and skills in his mind after time travel, he was able to draw the corresponding drawings of Jenny's spinning machine.
And now Zhu Youzheng is asking his eunuchs to make the first Jenny spinning machine for him.
"You don't have to think that doing this job is a lowly job. Remember, you are making your own contribution to me and the Ming Dynasty. Although you don't feel anything now, you will know in the future. As long as you do it well, I will have many benefits." reward!"
There were a large number of eunuchs in the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, so it was not difficult to find a few eunuchs who were good at carpentry and honest. Therefore, Liu Ruoyu quickly found a group of eunuchs. After Zhu Youxiao interviewed him in person, he was left to work as a carpenter in the Qing Palace. workshop.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao also decreed the establishment of a new inner court yamen.
This yamen is called Shanggongjian, which is the yamen responsible for the research and development of various science and technology and even mechanical products.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao also directly issued an order to promote these eunuchs to young eunuchs.
The status of young eunuchs in the eunuch hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty was already high.
Because of this, these young supervisors were very motivated to accompany Zhu Youxiao to play carpenter.
Of course, they also knew that pleasing the emperor would definitely bring many benefits.
But Zhu Youxiao would still encourage the young eunuchs who made work for him, because the status of craftsmen in people's hearts in this era is indeed not high.
Zhu Youxiao himself will also participate in carpentry, because he now also needs some physical labor to exercise his muscles, not to mention that a lot of information in his mind also needs practice to deepen his understanding.
"Your Majesty, the cabinet sent Xu Guangqi's memorial. There is no draft. It says that it is for the Emperor's Holy Judgment. Can you read it?"
But when Zhu Youxiao was sawing wood, Wei Zhongxian came to him.
Zhu Youxiao did not tell Wei Zhongxian to go away and said not to bother me. Instead, he stopped what he was doing and took the memorial: "Meet the cabinet ministers!"
Zhu Youxiao had already expected that the reset of martial arts would definitely be blocked by the civil service group.
Therefore, he was not surprised.
After Zhu Youxiao met the cabinet ministers in Qianqing Palace, he was sweating profusely and had taken a bath again and changed into his dragon robe. Then he took Xu Guangqi's memorial and asked the cabinet ministers: "Why didn't the ministers vote for this memorial?" Ben, what’s the point of uncertainty?”
Fang Congzhe hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Xu Guangqi proposed to establish a martial arts school in the imperial court. I believed that this matter had nothing to do with the imperial government, so I was ready to let Xu Guangqi try it. However, the two cabinet ministers Liu and Han had objections to this, so The cabinet didn't know how to vote for the moment, so it asked for the Holy Judgment."
When Zhu Youxiao heard what Fang Congzhe said, he was actually a little disappointed in Fang Congzhe's heart.
Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Fang Congzhe's character was relatively weak.
This made Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say: "No wonder the first assistant of Ming Dynasty is worse than the last! If it were in the era of Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet would decide the matter, how could the second assistant and third assistant dare to comment! That's it! Fang Congzhe, a non-powerful chief minister, was so stupid that he asked the Holy See just because Liu Yixuan and Han Xu had objections. What else would the chief minister ask the cabinet to do? He couldn't even draft an opinion. If we can't unify, will we tire ourselves out as the emperor?"
In Zhu Youxiao's view, it is better for Ming Dynasty's first assistant to be stronger.
After all, if the Ming Dynasty, as a huge empire, wanted to become more prosperous, it would not be possible to rely on the emperor alone.
Someone must cooperate with the emperor and implement all the emperor's decisions.
Otherwise, the emperor's decree will become a piece of paper.
The chief assistant is the executor, because the chief assistant is a civil servant, and a highly respected civil servant, with his own group of officials.
Therefore, if the chief minister is strong enough, he can recruit a group of civil servants to cooperate with the emperor in fighting other civil servants.
But if the chief minister is not strong enough, then the emperor will have to deal with the entire civil servant group alone. In this way, it will be even more tiring for the emperor to be both a decision-maker and an executor. Not to mention, there is no one to share the pressure with him as the emperor.
However, Zhu Youxiao didn't think this was surprising.
Because since Zhang Juzheng had his coffin opened and his body was whipped, his home was confiscated, and even his family members were starved to death and exiled in retaliation for his officials, the subsequent chief ministers of the cabinet really did not dare to take the lead.
It was even worse during the Chongzhen period. Wei Zaode, the last chief minister, did not even dare to express his opinion when the emperor wanted to move south, nor did he dare to implement it for the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao felt that it was necessary to vindicate Zhang Juzheng.
Because the revitalization of the empire requires some great people who dare to do things and betray their own class.
Even the progress of Chinese civilization in later generations will require these characters.
Such as Tan Sitong and Lin Juemin.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng must be rehabilitated.
Give honor to those who are willing to serve the country.
Otherwise, the civil servants of Ming Dynasty will become worse and worse.
