Tongzhou.

"Master, news came from Jiangnan that Xu Guangqi's mother, Qian, is gone."

Xu Shilin reported to his home head in a dark room in a deep courtyard.

This high-ranking official and gentleman who was the head of Xu Shilin's family just nodded slightly after hearing this: "The officials' parents died, and they all suffered from sorrow. They were dismissed from their posts and returned to their hometown to mourn. Otherwise, they would have to seize love. As the son is today, they would have to seize love. So wait for the emperor to break up with the great righteousness of the world. Xu Guangqi himself would not trap the king and father in unrighteousness and ignore human relations, unless he really wanted to destroy his conscience and become enemies with the people of the world!"

"What the master said is that this is a dead chess, and they cannot turn the tables. When Zhang Juzheng controlled the court, he was taken away by the temple because of his father's death. Although the love was successful, Zhang Juzheng completely offended the people of the world. In the end, the whole family was starved to death by more than ten people. If the emperor takes into account filial piety and human ethics, he should let Xu Guangqi go back to his hometown. If he does not take into account filial piety and human ethics, it will only cause the Xu family to break up with the gentry in the world!"

Xu Shilin agreed.

"I hope that the emperor can let Xu Guangqi return home. This at least means that his emperor is still afraid of violating the way of the saint. In this way, we can continue to use the way of the saint to control the emperor in the future! Even if the emperor has trained troops, we can still take over the power of the military horse from the martial arts! None of the martial arts honors at the beginning of the country, Jiang Bin from the Zhengde Dynasty, will eventually be the opponent of our scholars and officials! I am afraid that the scholars and officials of Xu Guangqi, such as Zhang Juzheng, have the same ambition as Zhang Juzheng, and unite with the emperor at all costs. In that case, many people will definitely die!"

The official and gentry sighed as he said: "I don't know if Xu Guangqi is Zhang Juzheng or whether he has the heart of a Bodhisattva. He would rather commit suicide than let a large number of defenders suffer!"

"What the master said is that no matter what, among the three confidants of the emperor, Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi, the most threatening person. Although Fang Congzhe has the highest official position, he has limited ability and a cowardly personality. As long as the court officials overwhelmed the emperor, he would be a turtle. Be honest, Sun Chengzong was not very talented and had worse knowledge than Xu Guangqi. Only Xu Guangqi first advocated the emperor to train new recruits, and also proposed to strengthen control over Korea and jointly strangle the Eastern Captains. It can be seen that this person is quite wise and willing to only use wisdom and wisdom to be loyal to the king's affairs, rather than considering whether our scholars and officials can control the world for the emperor."

Xu Shilin continued to speak.

"Well, there is one who is loyal to the emperor in everything but ignores the interests of my civil servant group!"

As the official and gentleman said, he slapped the Huanghuali table with one palm.

...

"This is a good thing! This time, there is finally a reason to expel Xu Guangqi from the court. It is one who can drive away a treacherous slander from the court!"

After Zhou Shunchang, an official of the Donglin Party, learned from Zuo Guangdou and others that the mother of Xu Guangqi was gone, he also started to say with a smile.

"That's right! The human relationship between heaven and earth, see if the emperor, Xu Guangqi and others care or not!"

He also started talking with a smile.

"If Xu Guangqi can leave his post this time, we have to fight for whoever takes over as Minister of War, and ask the court to recommend it and return the power to the Ministry of Personnel. We can no longer allow the emperor to pass the cabinet's special script. Otherwise, if this continues, Ye Gong and others will not be able to enter the cabinet! The court will not show the appearance of the dynasty full of the court!"

Zuo Guangdou followed and glanced at Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi laughed: "You can send out the news and go against the people of the world. Those who only seek the power of the emperor will affect the high court! Let other court officials be alert in the future, and don't really harm your parents for your own wealth."

...

"It's vicious! Whoever is closer to the emperor will have no parents. If I don't strengthen the strength of the factory guards, even the true loyal ministers among civil servants will not dare to follow me wholeheartedly. After all, anyone who is loyal will not ignore filial piety. Those who are filial piety will have to care about their parents' life and death! And this kind of murder of parents has happened in our court, I'm afraid there have been more than one case!"

When Zhu Youxiao thought of Xu Guangqi's mother Qian, he couldn't help but mutter to himself again.

This also made Zhu Youxiao feel the cruelty and insidiousness behind the court disputes.

For a moment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but clench his fists. He became more and more convinced that the road to reverse the historical trend was not that easy to go. He could only be cruel and ruthless and more cruel than others. He could not use kindness to guess anyone, but could only guess others with the greatest malicious intention.

"Especially the closer people to themselves on the pyramid of power, the less they can't be merciful when they offend themselves. And their kindness and conscience can only be used for those who are the farthest from themselves on the pyramid of power, those are the majority of the world and silent without a say."

After thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly shouted: "Wei Zhongxian!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came: "I am here!"

"What are the changes in the inner court recently?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, except for the Grand Sima himself and a few court officials, most of them are rumoring that Grand Sima is worried! Some of the so-called officials of the Donglin Party even talk about this matter all night long, and they are more active and lively than the annual list. When I heard this, I thought these people were too bad! They also formulated corresponding strategies to respond, saying that if the emperor seized the love, they would encourage all officials to impeach Xu Guangqi. If the emperor did not seize the love, they would encourage all officials to use the matter of the Minister of the Recruitment to ask the emperor to recommend it, saying that the emperor could no longer casually summarize the appointment of the minister of the minister, and to return the power of the elected minister to the Ministry of Personnel, rather than let the cabinet take the power of appointment. In addition, they were planning how to use this matter to force the Xu family to stop offering silver to the inner court."

Wei Zhongxian reported back.

Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this.

The so-called power to be elected by the Ministry of Personnel and the cabinet does not allow the power to be appointed is actually to control the power to appoint officials in the hands of the civil service group.

Because the cabinet belongs to the palace institution, the emperor is behind it.

The emperor appointed officials through the Cabinet order.

Naturally, civil officials did not dare to explicitly say that they wanted to seize the power of the emperor to appoint officials, so they could only say that they were seizing the power of the cabinet.

The Ming Dynasty political arena often in disputes between the Ministry of Personnel and the Cabinet, and the essence behind it was the struggle between the literati and the emperor.

So, Zhu Youxiao knew what the abacus these people were doing, so he laughed: "It's really a storm that is coming. They saw that the cabinet could not be controlled by themselves, so they simply prepared to win over the power of the cabinet to the Ministry of Personnel."

Zhu Youxiao said that and then supported his forehead: "First, pretend nothing happened, your Dongchang is just secretly digging out the behind-the-scenes envoy who attempted to kill Qian!"

"I obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

...

So, in the following days, the court and the country were surprisingly quiet inside and outside.

In addition to caring about the training of the imperial village every day, Emperor Tianqi was planning the recruitment of students in the second martial arts lecture hall, as well as the manufacturing of firearms and corresponding equipment.

The inner court seemed to be busy with the matter of choosing a concubine in Apocalypse.

For the foreign dynasty, the military pay should be repaid. Because a large number of corrupt officials had just been executed, no one dared to drift at will, and no soldiers mutiny occurred.

Liaodong still sent thousands of Zhejiang soldiers to attack Nurhaci's Jianzhou division, killing people but not building a city, and then running away after the battle. Although the Zhejiang soldiers were dispatched this time because Nurhaci had learned a lesson before this, they made preparations in advance, so that the Zhejiang soldiers could not destroy all the troops, but they also killed hundreds of heads from the East.

There were no major changes in other border towns due to the confiscation of Shanxi merchants. The emergence of the Maritime Trade Department still allowed the grain trading of border generals in these places to continue. However, unlike Shanxi merchants, the Maritime Trade Department collected most of the grain in their hands and stocked up without selling it to the Jurchens.

But during this peaceful period, many Donglin civil servants in the court could no longer sit still.

"We all know the news of Xu Guangqi's mother's death. Why did Xu Guangqi not know yet after so long? If he didn't get back to the school, please resign and return to his hometown? "
