Chapter 28 The first assistant is too weak

Fang Congzhe had actually guessed that Xu Guangqi's memorial was probably due to the emperor's intention.

But because both Liu Yiyin and Han Dong were officials who were close to the Donglin Party.

Moreover, Fang Congzhe knew that both of them had the intention to drive him away.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe did not intend to remind the two of them, and just said, "Then please invite the Holy Lord."

Han Yu didn't expect Fang Congzhe would still make such a choice, and he couldn't help but persuade him again: "Yuanfu, you have to make an idea."

Han Dong originally wanted to say, "Young Master, how could you know how powerful it is?", but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being punished like Gao Gong for saying "How can the ten-year-old emperor rule the world?"

But Fang Congzhe made up his mind to be a weak chief minister who still governs the country and has the power to the emperor but only obediently does things. So he said, "Didn't the servant already tell me my ideas? But does Mr. Han think that his servant's opinion is not good?"

Han Yu couldn't help but bow down: "Yuanfu, you misunderstood."

Han Yu wanted Fang Congzhe to take the lead in rejecting Xu Guangqi's proposal, but he was unwilling to stand up by himself, so he wanted Fang Congzhe to stand up.

Because Han Dong himself was not a fool, he knew that Xu Guangqi's actions were probably due to the instruction of the emperor.

But Han Yu did not expect that Fang Congzhe was unwilling to take this for the benefit of the entire civil servant group, and he was quite helpless for a moment: "Well, then I'll respectfully ask the Emperor to judge."

The three of them handed Xu Guangqi's memorial to the eunuch who was responsible for collecting the question book and memorial to the Silijian to approve the money.

There were no memorials for memorials in the Ming Dynasty, only the title and memorials.

According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Hui Dian", this chapter presented in the name of the official office is the title book, and this chapter presented in the name of the official is the memorial book.

Therefore, Xu Guangqi presented the memorial book in the previous article.

The cabinet and the Lijian are not directly connected, otherwise there will be suspicion of collusion with each other to obscene the emperor.

Therefore, a written room was added in the system, and the written room needed to present the cabinet's inscriptions and memorials to the Lijian.

However, because there is no ticket to Xu Guangqi's memorial submitted by the cabinet this time, the Silijian needs to submit the memorial to the emperor after receiving Xu Guangqi's memorial, and the emperor will personally prepare it.

Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Silijian, had to take Xu Guangqi's memorial to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao was working with a group of carpenters to build a new spinning machine.

This spinning machine is naturally the Jenny spinning machine that was famous in industrial history later.

The Jenny spinning machine is a wooden machine that can be made by hand, so it is not difficult to make.

Zhu Youxiao also added a lot of important information and skills to his mind after traveling through time, so he could draw the corresponding drawings of the Jenny spinning machine.

Now Zhu Youxiao is asking his inner servants to make the first Jenny spinning machine for him.

"You don't have to think that doing this is a low-key job. Remember, you are making your own contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Although you don't feel anything now, you will know in the future. As long as you do well, I will be rewarded!"

The number of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was huge, so it was not difficult to find a few eunuchs who were good at carpenters and honest. Therefore, Liu Ruoyu quickly found a group of them, and after Zhu Youxiao personally interviewed, he was left in the carpenter workshop of the Qianqing Palace.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also issued an order to establish a new inner court yamen.

The yamen is called Shanggongjian, which is the yamen responsible for the research and development of various scientific and technological technologies and even mechanical products.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also issued a direct order to promote these eunuchs to minor prisons.

The position of Shaojian in the Ming Dynasty's inner court eunuchs has been quite high.

Because of this, these young prisoners are very enthusiastic about playing carpenters with Zhu Youxiao.

Of course they also know that there will definitely be many benefits to please the emperor.

But Zhu Youxiao would still encourage the young supervisors who worked for his craftsmen, because the status of craftsmen in this era is indeed not high in people's hearts.

Zhu Youxiao himself also participated in carpenter production because he now also needs some physical labor to train his muscles and bones, not to mention that many of the information in his mind also needs to be deepened through practice.

"The emperor, the cabinet sent Xu Guangqi's memorial, but there was no ticket to it. It was said that it was a request to the Emperor's Holy Lord. Do you see?"

But just as Zhu Youxiao saw wood, Wei Zhongxian came to him.

Zhu Youxiao did not let Wei Zhongxian go away, saying nothing about not bothering me like this, but stopped his work and took over the memorial: "I will see the ministers!"

Zhu Youxiao had already expected that the matter of re-establishing martial arts would definitely be blocked by the civil servant group.

So, he was not surprised.

After Zhu Youxiao met the ministers of the Qianqing Palace, he was sweating profusely and changed his dragon robe. Then he took Xu Guangqi's memorial and asked the ministers: "Why don't you have a vote to write this memorial? What's the point of indecision?"

Fang Congzhe hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Xu Guangqi submitted a memorial to the court to set up martial arts. I believe that this matter does not involve the court's major policies, so I plan to agree to let Xu Guangqi try it. However, Liu and Han, the two assistants of the cabinet, had quite objections to this, so the cabinet did not know how to vote for the time being, so I asked the saint to judge."

Zhu Youxiao heard Fang Congzhe say this, but in his heart, the other party was actually a little disappointed.

Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Fang Congzhe's personality was relatively weak.

This made Zhu Youxiao feel so heartbroken: "No wonder the Ming Dynasty's chief minister was worse than the other! If it was decided by the cabinet chief minister in the era of Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, how could the second and third ministers dare to argue! Only Fang Congzhe, a non-strong chief minister, was so cooked like this (public fake), just because Liu Yifeng and Han Du had objections, so what did the chief minister have to do? Is he exhausted himself as an emperor?"

In Zhu Youxiao's view, it is better for the Ming Dynasty's chief assistant to be stronger.

After all, as a huge empire, it would not be possible to rely on the emperor alone to strengthen the prosperity.

Someone must cooperate with the emperor and implement all the emperor's decisions.

Otherwise, the emperor's will be a piece of paper.

The chief minister is the executor, because the chief minister is a civil servant, and a respected civil servant, and has his own group of officials.

Therefore, if the chief minister is strong enough, he can attract a group of civil servants to cooperate with the emperor to fight against other civil servants.

But if the chief minister is not strong enough, the emperor will have to deal with the entire civil service group alone. In this way, the emperor will be even more tired even if he is both a decision-maker and an executor, and no one will share the pressure with himself, the emperor.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't think this was surprising.

Because since Zhang Juzheng was opened to whip the body, his family was raided, and his family was even scattered, his family was revenge and his gentry starved to death and exiled, the chief minister of the cabinet behind him really dared not take the lead.

When the Chongzhen period was even worse, the last chief minister Wei Zaode did not dare to express his opinions even when the emperor wanted to move south, and did not dare to execute for the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao felt that he needed to rehabilitate 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 requires these characters.

Such as Tan Sitong and Lin Juemin.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng must be rehabilitated.

Treat those who are willing to contribute to the country with honor.
