Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Xu with a smile on his face.

Going around and around without getting to the main point, the court has almost reached a consensus on this matter, that is, there must be an explanation no matter what. However, how to give this explanation is still debated endlessly in the court.

The opposing faction naturally believed that Chen Kedao should be severely punished and things should be restored to their original state. Everyone should do whatever they want.

But Cui Chengxiu's group was different. They supported Chen Kedao's remarks, supported him in destroying academies all over the world, and supported him in not allowing people to teach in private.

Now the court must give an attitude and make it clear which side it is on.

Therefore, what Han Xu said was superficial. Han Xu did not touch on practical things and did not say which side he was on. In other words, he did not dare to take this responsibility.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked meaningfully: "I wonder what Aiqing thinks?"

Zhu Youxiao was asking Han Xu, don't always say that these are some or not, which faction do you support?

This is asking about attitude, not strategy, although it seems to be asking about strategy.

"I think this matter is prudent and should be decided by His Majesty Qiangang." Han Xu said cautiously and threw the hot potato to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao wasn't angry at all. He knew that Han Xu couldn't say this. It was a good thing that Han Xu didn't stand on the opposite side.

However, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, but he quickly restrained himself. It was impossible for Zhu Youxiao to deal with Han Xu because of these things. This person was still useful.

Looking across several people in the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao did not ask any more questions.

The current cabinet structure was built by Zhu Youxiao with all his efforts, but nothing has been done yet, so they cannot be allowed to split.

If you put pressure on yourself, they will inevitably have to take a stand, and it will be difficult to deal with it then.

If you are confused, they will probably be confused as well. They are very familiar with doing this kind of thing.

So Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Hong and said expressionlessly: "There will be a morning court tomorrow, right?"

"Your Majesty, there will indeed be a morning court tomorrow." Chen Hong quickly bowed and replied.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, waved his hands, and said, "Then let's discuss this matter in the morning."

Seeing this, everyone left one after another.

After watching several people leave, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about changing the manpower.

Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, must be removed. There is nothing negotiable about this. After all, his position as the Minister of Rites is too important.

In my future education reform, I will definitely use the Minister of Rites, and it will definitely not work if Sun Shenxing is the obstacle here.

If he wants to replace Shen Tingyun, he is the character he plans to use. Shen Tingyun can accept some of his own thoughts and is naturally on his side, so he can just take advantage of it.

So Zhu Youxiao is ready to use Shen Tingyun well.

There is currently one thing that makes Zhu Youxiao dissatisfied, and that is Sun Shenxing.

It stands to reason that Sun Shenxing is also an old official and should be very clear about his situation. At this time, he should make the wisest choice, which is to submit a letter to his majesty to resign. Then he, his majesty, will not allow it, and he will be allowed to do so after three times. Come back, so that you can start and end well.

But until now, Sun Shenxing has not done so.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but hesitate, was Sun Shenxing doing something?

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew that he could not directly remove Sun Shenxing, and the Donglin Party case did not involve him, so this was a very difficult matter.

Turning to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked, "What is Sun Shenxing doing recently?"

"Back to your Majesty, Sun Shangshu has been ill at home recently." Chen Hong quickly bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, just nodded, then turned around and walked out. He felt that he needed to breathe fresh air. He was quite tired after being busy with this and that every day.

The moonlight was like water, and the insects were chirping. Although the night was still a little cold, it was much better than the previous days.

Inside Sun Shenxing's home.

Sun Shenxing was sitting in the yard at this moment, with no expression on his face. There was a lantern beside him, and wine and food were placed on the stone table in front of him. He took a sip from time to time, and his face showed a gentle and leisurely look.

"Master, it's almost time. It's time to rest." The steward came to Sun Shenxing and said with concern in his tone. But the steward's face and eyes were full of worry.

The master has been like this these days, and the housekeeper also knows that the master is not in a good mood, but there is nothing he can do now.

Under such circumstances, he didn't know how to comfort his master. After all, he didn't know much about official matters, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to get involved.

"Go and call the eldest young master over." Sun Shenxing said.

The housekeeper was stunned, calling him the eldest young master in the dead of night?

However, the housekeeper didn't dare to neglect him, and he didn't even dare to ask anything, so he hurriedly ran to find someone.

Soon a person followed the housekeeper and came over.

After seeing Sun Shenxing, the man quickly bowed and saluted: "Father."

Raising his head and glancing at his son, Sun Shenxing nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the court meeting. I have something to tell you. I hope you remember it."

"Yes, father." Sun Shenxing's son's voice trembled slightly.

At this time, his father came to him and said that he would have something to explain to him tomorrow. He already had a bad feeling in his heart that something was going to happen to his father.

In fact, he knew it himself. Because before this, he had also learned about his father's situation and knew that his father's current situation in the court was very bad.

Seeing his son's appearance, Sun Shenxing smiled and said, "Why do you have to act like a child? As a father, I have read the books of the sages and learned the ways of the sages since I was a child. Over the years, I have been worthy of heaven and earth as a father. I am loyal to the king above and protect the people below."

"

"It's been so many years since I thought about it. Originally, my father wanted to resign. Taking you back to the countryside and cooking wine and papers every day is one of the joys of life! Go back to find a place, invite three or five students, and make friends with three or five students.

I am a good friend who talks about things every day and is the one my father yearns for."

After saying that, Sun Shenxing raised his head and glanced at his son, and continued: "It's just that there are some things that a father can ignore, but there are some things that cannot be ignored. Over the years, the father has given you relatively little discipline, and has not given you any attention.

It is a regret in my father's heart that you take me with you to teach you."

"Father!"

When Sun Shenxing's son heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.

He had understood that it was not that the emperor wanted to do anything to his father, but that his father wanted to do something. The emperor was waiting for his father to resign, but his father was unwilling to do so.

Glancing at his son, Sun Shenxing smiled and said, "You are already a man with a son, and you are still crying like this."

"My father this time is doing justice, the way of saints, and the righteousness of kings and ministers. There is nothing to be sad about. If something happens to your father, don't feel sorry for yourself. Take your father back with you."

My father was buried in the family ancestral grave."

"If you can't do it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where my father is buried in the Ming Dynasty."

"After you return home, you should stay behind closed doors. Your descendants will not be able to serve as officials in the court for the time being. You can study at home and cultivate your family, and do not enter the officialdom. You should be careful and cautious in your daily life. If you do not do something right, you will make a mistake. Do not be arrogant and domineering.

"

"If your father's affairs involve you, don't blame your father. Some people have to do some things after all."

Sun Shenxing's son's eyes were filled with tears at this time. He bowed respectfully to his father and said, "My father served the Ming Dynasty and the way of the saints. My son is proud of this. My father's death is extremely glorious!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Shenxing said: "That's good, that's good."

After saying this, Sun Shenxing's eyes were filled with tears. In order not to let his son see it, he turned his head and said, "Okay, let's go. Remember to live well, learn well, and don't let your father down."

"Yes, father." Sun Shenxing's son lifted up his clothes, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Sun Shenxing respectfully, then turned around and walked out, only looking back three times every step of the way, looking at his old father from time to time.

For officials of the Ming Dynasty, going to court in the morning was a very painful thing because they had to get up very early.

This morning, the atmosphere in the Sun family was relatively gloomy.

Sun Shenxing's son also got up early and ate something with his father. Then he stood at the door and watched his father get on the carriage and watched the carriage leave. He stood there for a long time without moving.

When the carriage disappeared at the intersection, Sun Shenxing's son knelt down again.

The housekeeper stood beside him, trembling with tears. Finally, he walked to Sun Shenxing's son, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Young master, you must not disappoint the master's instructions."

After saying this, the housekeeper burst into tears again.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao got up early today. Speaking of which, he didn't usually go to morning meetings, so suddenly he got up so early, which was a bit unaccustomed to him.

Under Chen Hong's service, Zhu Youxiao changed his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and then walked towards the main hall.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived here, the ministers had already been waiting here.

After Chen Hong stood up, he said: "Your Majesty is here!"

As Chen Hong finished speaking, the ministers knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao came out from behind and sat on the dragon chair.

After the courtiers finished their salutes, Zhu Youxiao said: "I will go down without any ceremony."

After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao said: "There is a matter that has been debated between the DPRK and China recently. I believe you all know it even if I don't tell you. I want you to discuss this matter and come up with it this morning.

A result will calm the criticism and appease people's hearts. My dear friends, you can say anything you want."

Today's morning meeting was about the most intensely debated matter in the court, so everyone knew what Zhu Youxiao was talking about.

As Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, a person stood up.

Everyone turned to look over and found that this person was Cui Chengxiu, and no one was surprised.

Cui Chengxiu has been jumping up and down very much recently. It can be said that he is responsible for many things. Many people hate Cui Chengxiu so much that their teeth are itching.

Without Cui Chengxiu, things would not be where they are today.
