When Sun Chengzong heard what Xu Guangqi said, he sat down and the anger in his heart was reduced by three points: "You are right, I never thought that the emperor would protect us."
Xu Guangqi smiled and took a sip of tea: "When they are imprisoned in the future, it will not be too late for you to plead for mercy."
Sun Chengzong said nothing.
And this time.
Sun Chengzong added: "Wei Yingjia and others intend to impeach you for reestablishing martial arts at Shangshu. You must be prepared to argue."
Xu Guangqi frowned after hearing this: "I don't believe they can't see the benefits of this for the country! They say they are for the king, father and the world, but I think their thoughts are not on this!"
"That's not necessarily the case for them. They are also worried about the appearance of Jiang Bin and other sycophants in the Zhengde Dynasty."
Sun Chengzong started talking.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Sun Chengzong: "As for the affairs of the Zhengde Dynasty, you can't just rely on the records of the Hanlin Academy."
Sun Chengzong said "hmm" and simply said: "I have explained it to you, but it's useless. I just remind you."
The two then separated.
at the same time.
The intention to set up the Ming Dynasty Lecture Hall to select generals and train troops was soon known to Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party spokespersons through the General Affairs Department.
For this reason, Zuo Guangdou and others asked specifically after seeing Wang Kuiqing: "What on earth is going on? Didn't your military department deny it? Where is Mr. Qiu?"
Wang Kuiqing replied with an expression on the verge of tears: "Mr. Qiu was killed for resisting the imperial edict! Wei Zhongxian, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, Bingbi, personally came to kill him with the Jinyiwei Official School. If what Xu Guangqi said is not signed, he will be killed." Kill him for resisting the order! Therefore, we have no choice but to obey Quan Yu."
Zuo Guangdou was naturally very surprised after hearing this.
Wei Yingjia even gritted his teeth: "Wei Zhongxian! It's him again!"
"After taking charge of Dongchang, this man has already brutalized my three famous officials! This is tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
Miao Changqi also replied, then punched the table hard and said: "This person must be impeached! Otherwise, if this continues, I don't know how many loyal and honest ministers will die because of this!"
Wei Yingjia said: "Put aside the impeachment of the Wei eunuch in advance. The most urgent task now is not to allow the imperial court to reestablish martial arts. Otherwise, it will damage the foundation of our civil servants to preside over the government! Now, let's go to the palace immediately. I sent a memorial to my family and jointly protested against this matter!"
"That's right! The cabinet is useless. All we can do is to remonstrate with our Taiwan ministers and officials jointly to stop it!"
As a result, a group of Donglin officials responded.
And for this reason, when Xu Guangqi came to the palace gate to collect his memorial, he saw a group of officials from Donglin coming with the memorial.
When Xu Guangqi saw this scene, he didn't say anything. Wei Yingjia, who came to him first, snorted: "Bah! Shilin scum! I am the emperor's master!"
"Don't say too much to these sycophants. History will remember their ugliness in the future!"
Miao Changqi also said something.
All Donglin civil servants looked at Xu Guangqi with disdain, some even spat at Xu Guangqi, and some pretended to cover their mouths and noses and left.
Xu Guangqi shook his head and didn't bother to argue with these people.
But not long after, Xu Guangqi heard a Donglin official shouting: "I am here to advise your Majesty on reestablishing the martial arts affairs! Please send it to the emperor immediately!"
…
In front of the emperor.
Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Han Xu, the three cabinet ministers, did not dare to show their dignity and respectfully served in front of Zhu Youxiao.
Fang Congzhe even glanced at Zhu Youxiao. In his opinion, the more than seventy memorials of Donglin Yanguan on the imperial desk in front of him were like an aggressive sword, pointing at His Majesty the Emperor, making His Majesty the Emperor look angry. Hard to hide.
Liu Yishen and Han Xu had complicated moods. They did not expect that Emperor Zhu Youxiao would be so tough and would achieve his goals by killing the officials who refused.
However, Liu Yishen and Han Xu were not surprised by Donglin Yanguan's collective disapproval, because they knew that Yanguan would never give up.
Liu Yishen and Han Xu even wanted to see how the emperor would deal with these officials.
Zhu Youxiao only asked: "Your cabinet doesn't know how to vote?"
Fang Congzhe hurriedly replied: "There are many famous sayings involved in the matter, and the officials are sparse, and the ministers dare not draw up them."
Zhu Youxiao snorted: "All of them will stay in the middle school! I have my own decisions on the military and state affairs, not the officials!"
Zhu Youxiao said that and left here with a puff of sleeves.
Fang Congzhe and others faced the fact that there was no one around and said, "I'll leave."
After Zhu Youxiao left the hall, Wei Zhongxian rushed over: "Your Majesty! Did you take them?"
"No need for now, Dongchang will first find out who is behind this matter. He actually leaked what Xu Guangqi said so quickly. This person is really despicable. He actually wants to use the official to force me! It seems that he is behind this matter! , there are also disloyal people in this cabinet."
Zhu Youxiao therefore looked back at his three cabinet ministers.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wei Zhongxian retreated.
Next, there were still Donglin Yanguan who kept sending memorials to stop this matter.
But Zhu Youxiao ignored it.
The intention to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation also spread through the "Di Bao" of the General Affairs Department.
This is undoubtedly good news for many progressive scholar-bureaucrats who hope that the court can carry out drastic reforms, rectify the government, suppress the powerful officials and gentry, and revive the Ming Dynasty again.
"Zixian! Have you read the "Di Bao"? Jiangling Gong Zhang has been rehabilitated, restored to official position, granted the title of earl, and given the posthumous title of Wenzheng!"
After Xu Guangqi came back from the palace gate, he saw Yuan Keli, the chief minister of Shangbaosi.
Although Xu Guangqi is now a third-rank official, he was only a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, while Yuan Keli was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli. Therefore, Yuan Keli's qualifications are older than Xu Guangqi, so he can directly call Xu Guangqi.
When Xu Guangqi saw that it was Yuan Keli, he didn't dare to show off, so he hurriedly stood up with his hands raised. When he heard what Yuan Keli said, he was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted in the direction of the Forbidden City: "My Emperor, Holy Ming!"
Yuan Keli also saluted in the direction of the Forbidden City.
Then, Xu Guangqi took the initiative to speak: "The restoration of Zhang Jiangling's official position and restoration can still be seen that His Majesty is determined to govern. This is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty. Since the temple's neglect of government, the country is expected to revive!"
"That's exactly what I said. Ever since His Majesty commissioned your son, I have considered this world to be extraordinary. Now that you have occupied the position of Young Commander, reestablished martial arts, selected generals and trained troops for the imperial court, I am afraid that you will be like Duke Xiang Min in the future." (Tan Lun) also elected the Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty!"
As Yuan Keli said this, he thought of his bumpy career and couldn't help but say: "That's great!"
Yuan Keli was dismissed from his post because he criticized the emperor's lazy administration during the Wanli Dynasty. He was not promoted to Shangbao Sicheng until Taichang ascended the throne. Therefore, he currently lags behind Xu Guangqi in official position.
At this time, Yuan Keli suddenly looked at the Donglin Zhuyanguan in front and asked Xu Guangqi: "What are they doing?"
Xu Guangqi replied: "I have been advised to stop my performance."
After hearing this, Yuan Keli only said: "I hope the emperor will not be swayed by them. These people are radical in their rhetoric, especially fond of empty talk, and are short-sighted. They only know how to protect the interests of the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Once they are in power, they will definitely ruin the country's affairs!"
