Some people used to say that Xunzi was in danger of entering the Confucius Temple, which was not a strange thing. After all, putting Xunzi out of the Confucius Temple was one of their achievements. Now it is a perfect match for them.

Some people used this article to attack Huang Kezhang, saying that Xunzi was not even admitted to the Confucius Temple, so how could he take the imperial examination test?

Then Yu Maoheng put on such a question book, which clearly showed that he was confronting them.

Zhu Youxiao summarized the recent question books, probably had some ideas, and understood what the situation was like in the court.

Through his planning during this period, the court finally had some atmosphere.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that this matter might have greater resistance, but he didn't expect that the truth was not the case. Judging from the current situation, this matter might have passed quickly, and it should be easier.

This will form two trends in the upward trend and among the people. One trend is the upward trend and the upward trend is the upward trend. It feels that this policy is very good and correct and needs support; as for the other trend, it is the opposition from the people, and the opposition will not be small.

It seems to be two very, very contradictory things. After Zhu Youxiao came up with this result, he not only felt a little confused.

Queen Zhang came over slowly and saw that her Majesty was in a daze, she called out softly: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao came back from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Is Baozhu free today?"

"As long as you accompany Your Majesty, I will be free at any time." Queen Zhang said with a clever smile.

After saying that, she sat down against Zhu Youxiao and asked softly: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood?"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Queen Zhang, and whispered: "I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just thinking about something."

"There are so many things in the world, and they are complicated and complicated. Your Majesty, you should relax and make sure you feel comfortable so that you can have the heart to do things. Otherwise, Your Majesty's dragon body will not be healthy and you will not be able to do things at that time." Queen Zhang said gently, holding Zhu Youxiao's hand with her backhand.

Zhu Youxiao was having a heart-to-heart talk with Empress Zhang, but Sun Chengzong met someone at home, who was Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel.

After the two of them sat down, neither of them spoke, but just drank tea with different thoughts.

After a while, Sun Chengzong couldn't hold it in his hands anymore. He put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you came to Sun today, but what's wrong?"

Zhou Jiamo glanced at Sun Chengzong and said bluntly: "Actually it's very simple. I came here today to discuss with you about Huang Kezhang."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiamo was so direct, which made Sun Cheng feel a little uncomfortable.

It is not too strange that the ministers discuss what matters or discuss what people each other, but everyone is more tactful.

Today, Zhou Jiamo is so suffocating, and there are still some things that cannot be accepted by people.

But now is not the time to worry about these things. Sun Chengzong looked up at Zhou Jiamo and asked with a serious expression: "What does Lord Zhou think about this matter?"

After looking at Sun Chengzong, Zhou Jiamo put down the teacup and said with a smile: "In my opinion, it is nothing more than Huang Kezhang preparing for the expansion of the Ministry of Justice. I have to say that his reaction is faster than us, which is admirable."

"What does Lord Zhou mean?" Sun Chengzong looked at Zhou Jiamo calmly and asked in confusion. He really didn't understand the trick.

"I don't know, is Mr. Sun Ge really not understand or is pretending to be unclear? But it doesn't matter, whether you really don't understand or pretend not to understand, since I'm here today, I'm going to say what I want to say." Zhou Jiamo smiled indifferently.

"Since Your Majesty started using Xu Guangqi and the others, the court has not stopped. Although they all have not stopped, they have traces to do everything. First, the Ministry of Rites, Chen Tingyun became the Minister of Rites. What did he push?"

"He made the lectures a lot and the Royal Academy. Now, the power of the Ministry of Rites has increased greatly, not only responsible for the imperial examinations, but also for the Royal Academy."

"If the Royal Academy can really do it, the Ministry of Rites will open it all over the Ming Dynasty and use it to replace prefectures and county schools at all levels. In this case, what is the Ministry of Rites? How much power will the Ministry of Rites have?"

"In the past, the Ministry of Rites was in charge of scholars in the world, but we knew how much water was in it. If we really waited until the academy opened all over the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites would have really done this and would have been in charge of scholars in the world."

"What kind of power will the Ministry of Rites have at that time? In addition to the imperial examination course this time, it will be a place for the life gate in the future. Although it was a big deal this time, Huang Kezhang rushed in front, but what about the future?"

"There is a second thing in this world when there is a first time. Since the Ministry of Rites has changed the imperial examination course, it can be changed again. At that time, this is the power of the Ministry of Rites. Since Chen Tingyun arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he has been expanding the power of the Ministry of Rites."

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong frowned tightly.

"Next, let's talk about the Ministry of Revenue. With the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Revenue will set up a yamen specializing in businessmen. The news has been spread. Xu Guangqi has almost prepared. He wants to build this yamen to the entire Ming Dynasty. Every prefecture and county must have it, and it is not under local jurisdiction. Do you know what this means?" "This means that the Ministry of Revenue has also reached its hands below, and the Ministry of Revenue is also expanding its power. In addition, Xu Guangqi is trying to grow crops and a horde of engineering institutes, and the power of the Ministry of Revenue is also expanding rapidly."

"Since both of them came to power, they have all been actively expanding their power!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhou Jiamo seriously. He really didn't expect that things could still be thought about from this perspective.

He was a little hesitant because Sun Chengzong felt that this should not be true.

But what Zhou Jiamo said makes sense, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t believe it.

Sun Chengzong asked hesitantly: "Well, Huang Kezhang is..."

"I call Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun the behavior of the sixth department. They want a larger Ministry of Revenue and a larger Ministry of Rites; and now what Huang Kezhang wants is a large Ministry of Justice."

"Unlike the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice has always been inconspicuous. If you want to establish a large Ministry of Justice, the first problem to be solved is how to reach out your hands?"

"So Huang Kezhang thought of Xunzi. Etiquette and law are used together, which is Huang Kezhang's starting point and original intention."

After hearing these words, Sun Chengzong didn't say anything for a long time.

He had already begun to believe what Zhou Jiamo said, but hesitated and said, "But where is Your Majesty?"

"Don't you understand it yet? Your Majesty no longer believes in the previous trick. Your Majesty wants to see who can make something new."

"Facts have proved that what Xu Guangqi and the others did was OK. At least after Xu Guangqi took over the Ministry of Revenue, he was indeed doing practical things. Whether it was the Baike Academy or the cultivation of new crops, Xu Guangqi was doing it."

"As for the Ministry of Rites, we have been doing practical things. The Royal Academy and lectures seem inconspicuous, but they are related to party struggles. Although we did not admit it before, it was party struggles!"

"With these two people's precedents in front of you, Your Majesty may agree with Huang Kezhang's statement this time. Your Majesty wants to see what these people with new ideas will do."

As he said that, Zhou Jiamo turned to Sun Chengzong, frowned and said, "The direction is already very obvious. As far as I know, someone from the Censorate has begun to write a letter to support Huang Kezhang."

"I think you know very well what this means. Although the person who wrote the letter was Cui Chengxiu and the others, who looked like Wei Zhongxian, Yu Maoheng of the Censorate did not push them down, which proved one thing, that is, His Majesty was happy to see it."

"If I guess well, the next person who supports Huang Kezhang should be Xu Guangqi and the others. As the saying goes, they want to do something new now, but some people don't want them to do it; in this case, they need to unite with those who want to do new things, so Huang Kezhang and Xu Guangqi and the others will approach quickly."

Listening to Zhou Jiamo's words, Sun Chengzong was silent.

He discovered something that he didn't seem to be suitable for the officialdom.

After being an official for so many years, he has never thought or planned it like this. Now it seems that he is far from that, and these people are really smarter than the other.

"Who is Mr. Zhou coming to see me today?" Sun Chengzong looked at Zhou Jiamo and asked.

"If we don't move, then we will be the one who will get into trouble." Zhou Jiamo gently tapped the table and then said: "Your Majesty wants to see new things. If we don't take out new things, we don't have to stay in the court. Don't you think that the Ming Dynasty really needs some new things?"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhou Jiamo and said hesitantly: "Does Lord Zhou mean innovation?"

"Since Your Majesty wants to see it, let's try it. Your Majesty is young now and he wants to do it. Why can't we ministers accompany you? The reason why I brought you up is that I don't want you to leave the court."

"Everyone in this world wants to do things, but no one knows what it can be done in the end. Xu Guangqi and the others are brave and have ideas, but I don't know whether they will mess up."

"I hope they can do it, but if we mess up and turn the law for the people into a law that harms the people, then we can also take care of it. So we have to stay in the court and stare at them."

"I wonder what Lord Zhou is going to do?" Sun Chengzong asked in confusion.

"What our Ministry of Personnel does is very simple, it is nothing more than the selection and management of officials. There is an imperial examination in the selection process, so we don't need to do anything. Your Majesty has created the Royal Academy and we can't even get involved."

"That's all about management. As for how to manage, you don't have to think about it, just learn from the seniors."

Listening to Zhou Jiamo's words, three words flashed through Sun Chengzong's mind.

He looked up at Zhou Jiamo and said in disbelief: "Mr. Zhou, what you said is a way to get the test?"

As soon as these three words came out, Sun Chengzong felt that his breathing was tight. It was really too big and too sensitive!

You should know that Zhang Juzheng implemented the test method back then. How many people opposed it at that time?

Zhang Juzheng's final outcome is not unrelated to the success of the exam.

Now Zhou Jiamo is actually going to use the test method. Once this news comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar, and even Zhou Jiamo will become the target of public criticism.

So Sun Chengzong looked at him hesitantly.

After looking at Sun Chengzong, Zhou Jiamo smiled and said, "I am born in Jiajing in the 25th year of Longqing in the 5th year of Longqing, and this year's seventy-six."

"People often say that half of the loess is buried, and I'm now buried in my neck. I don't know how long I can live, maybe I'll die tomorrow. What should I be afraid of at this time?"

"If you have anything, just come for me! I want to tell you today that if His Majesty agrees to Huang Kezhang and also to me, then you have to make a difference."

"I don't know much about the Ministry of War, but Your Majesty has already asked Qi Jin to train the new army, so you should understand it too. Do it well, I hope we can stare at them together, but we must mix in them first." When he said this, Zhou Jiamo smiled like an old fox, and at the same time, he also looked like a naughty boy.

Sun Chengzong was a little silent.

He felt that what Zhou Jiamo said made sense, but he didn't think that he should be like what Zhou Jiamo said. He felt that he should do more, rather than watching quietly and waiting.

Sun Chengzong glanced at Zhou Jiamo and said, "I will go to the palace to ask His Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhou Jiamo laughed directly.

He clapped his hands and said, "You Sun Chengzong dare to say this. But you are Your Majesty's teacher, so you can ask, at least you can feel more at ease."

"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye." Zhou Jiamo said with a smile.

"Then I'll give it to Lord Zhou." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

After sending Zhou Jiamo out of the house, Sun Chengzong did not go back, but instead asked someone to prepare a carriage and he wanted to enter the palace.

In the West Garden.

Queen Zhang looked at Fang Zhenghua who was kneeling in front of her, but did not let him stand up. She just watched him kneel quietly.

She raised her hand gently, took a sip of the tea in her hand, and didn't say anything.

Beside Queen Zhang, Wang An stood respectfully.

The atmosphere inside the room was a little nervous, and no one knew what the queen was going to do.

You should know that although the days were not long in the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew His Majesty’s favor for this Empress.

The ministers may be a little short of it, but the eunuchs in the palace know what the status of the queen is.
