Han Yu, Sun Ruyou and other important court officials who were close to the Donglin Party before supported this against their will to strengthen the emperor's reform, and there was no way to do so.

After all, they dare not disobey the holy will now.

Because they also knew that the current Emperor had some civil servants in Fang Congzhe, if they insisted on disobeying the will of the holy people, their fate would be very miserable.

And if they honestly support the reform, they can still earn a considerable amount of honor and prosperity after resigning in the future.

So, they were not fools and answered in this way.

Fang Congzhe smiled because of this, and he knew that no one of these important officials who were still in the court would dare not take the emperor seriously.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe said next: "Very good! Then, please discuss in detail how to implement this matter, so that the Ministry of Rites can write a question book and submit it to the emperor. Then, based on this as the outline, we will order the departments and departments to implement it!"

"yes!"

Han Du, Wang Xianggan, Sun Ruyou and others replied.

...

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with other Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the officials of the Ministry of Rites. They all believe that the new policy of academic and political reform and the ritual system reform is good. They even say that this new policy is beneficial to the present and the future. This shows that the old ministers in the court are still very loyal and harmonious in the country. The implementation of the new policy of academic and political and political system will surely go smoothly."

Afterwards, Fang Congzhe went to the palace to report to Zhu Youxiao on the results of the court's discussion on academic affairs and ritual reform.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and he could guess that the civil servants below would not be so willing. Fang Congzhe must have used some intimidation methods, but he was too lazy to expose them. He just thought that the ministers below really supported them. He said: "Since that's the case, then implement it immediately. How much money and grain should be spent? Report it as soon as possible and what official positions should be added. Together with the Ministry of Revenue and the officials of the Ministry of Personnel will discuss it again."

"yes!"

Fang Congzhe replied, and then said: "After agreeing with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, it will be the Ministry of Rites and the governor to implement this new policy. However, I am worried that local officials will use academic research to impose a large amount of tax on fire consumption, and then exploit the people. Therefore, I believe that the fire consumption should be repaid by the public and the court will set the standards for fire consumption. In this way, local officials should be prevented from levying arbitrarily, and the imperial court can also control the purpose of this fire consumption. Whether it is left to local academic research or to maintain integrity and honor as a fee for maintenance, it should be decided by Your Majesty! Please give your Majesty a clear review!"

Zhu Youxiao mentioned that the fire and waste were over, but because the West Factory and the Ministry of Revenue were busy urging the payment of taxes, they were put on hold and not mentioned.

However, Fang Congzhe remembered this matter, and he thought that after the imperial court implemented the matter of clearing the land in Nanzhili and had to suspend the land in Zhangtian, the Ministry of Revenue and the West Factory did not have much room to play, so he took the initiative to propose it, allowing the Ministry of Revenue and the West Factory to start to make fire and waste, so he wanted to strengthen centralization, and strengthen centralization is naturally also to strengthen imperial power.

Zhu Youxiao was quite happy about this. After all, Fang Congzhe took the initiative to make suggestions before the emperor proposed it again. This made Zhu Youxiao feel that Fang Congzhe was becoming more and more advanced. He was really actively completing his political concept of the emperor and was a qualified chief assistant. He could think of what the emperor wanted, and even proposed it at the right time, instead of waiting for the emperor to take the initiative to give it.

This made Zhu Youxiao feel more at ease with Fang Congzhe.

"Accurate! Yuan Fu will discuss with the Ministry of Revenue and the Western Factory's fire consumption to the public."

Zhu Youxiao directly agreed to Fang Congzhe’s suggestions.

But Zhu Youxiao also took the initiative to consider the difficulties in this and asked: "Will the governors and governors of various provinces be unwilling to do this at that time? Once anyone doesn't want to, will the ministers and governors have the right candidates to replace the governors who are unwilling to do this?"

"Your Majesty, I am ready. If there is a problem at that time, I am willing to accept the crime! In addition, I have something to report to me. This time, the Shandong Governor Pan Taili was beaten to death by Zhang Tongchang, the Qiangwang of the Guards camp for obstructing the emperor's order. I believe that this matter should not be pursued. Because Zhang Tongchang left with the emperor's order, so whether it is based on discipline or closeness, I should rather believe in the words of those who have the emperor's orders than believe in public opinion, because the country should govern the world with the emperor's constitution, but not by public opinion. If the emperor's orders are governed by the emperor, where will your Majesty be placed? Therefore, I voted to let the emperor's orders be punished by the emperor's orders."

After answering, Fang Congzhe handed over the Shandong inspector's memorial and said, "This is my official's vote, please read it!"

"The Yuan auxiliary ticket is very appropriate, and the Sili Supervisor immediately approved the bonus."

Zhu Youxiao replied that he had actually known about Zhang Tongchang's killing of the governor through the Dongchang and Zhang Tongchang's own memorials, but Zhu Youxiao has never made any statement. He just wanted to see the attitude of the civil servants. Now that Fang Congzhe made such a statement, he was naturally very satisfied. After all, this means that Fang Congzhe did not force himself to give the civil servant group an explanation on behalf of the civil servant group.

Fang Congzhe bowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for accepting my vote."

Then, Fang Congzhe continued: "Now the governor of Shandong is vacant. I recommend that the governor of Sichuan Xu Ke be transferred to this position. In addition, I recommend that the right governor of Sichuan who has made contributions in Sichuan to participate in the fight against the rebellion, and to be promoted to the governor of Sichuan. In this way, at least Shandong and Sichuan will be fine in the future. Because I remember that these two people once made suggestions when doing local inspections, the court should uniformly formulate fire consumption regulations to avoid local officials exploiting the people! "

"allow!"

Zhu Youxiao admitted that Fang Congzhe was very good at ruling, but because of Pan Taili's murder, he thought of preparing for the next public affairs by transferring to the governor, rather than endlessly dealing with Pan Taili's affairs, and even took this opportunity to join forces with the civil servants to fight against the emperor. He was a qualified politician, not a politician who just wanted to fight for power and profit.

...

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao made up a decision and passed it on to meet Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking: "Recently, the East Factory has found out who are not honest behind their backs? Especially the one with high reputation!"

Wei Zhongxian knew who the emperor wanted to ask, and hurriedly replied: "Go back to the emperor, the ministers are much more careful than before, but there is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fishy fish. Many of them will still show their flaws. That's what you said. Although he didn't do anything, the person who got close to him suddenly went to Luoyang, Henan!"

"King of Blessing?"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of this person.

For a moment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but clench his fists and suddenly said, "Wei Zhongxian!"

"I'm here!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I, the Ming Dynasty, have never had any prime ministers in the mountains, only the chief ministers, and the chief ministers must be loyal to me. For these unfaithful people, your Dongchang has to take some means to fall into the water and die suddenly."

Wei Zhongxian understood what Zhu Youxiao said, and knew that the emperor felt that Ye Xianggao had no need to check and balance Fang Congzhe, so he replied: "I understand! I will do it now!"

"Get out!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to himself: "Sometimes, you can only use extraordinary methods for such extraordinary people. After all, it is difficult to reach the sky if these cunning people want to find out the evidence. Whether you want to cause an accident for me or not, I have to let you know that I can have an accident for you at any time!"

...

Fulushan, Fuqing County.

"Gei Master, Li came to Fujian to travel around the mountains and rivers. Why don't you take Li to climb the mountain?"

Because Li Zhizao came to Fujian to visit Ye Xianggao, he took the initiative to ask Ye Xianggao to take him to climb up and look into the distance.

Ye Xianggao thought of Li Zhizao, Yang Tingyun, Xu Guangqi and others getting closer, and Xu Guangqi is likely to be the one who checks and balances Fang Congzhe in the future. After all, Xu Guangqi is also very favored by the emperor, so he happily agreed, and did not expect any changes.

But when Ye Xianggao and Li Zhizao came to a high place and were viewing the mountain view from the stone, Li Zhizao's servant Lai Rui came over with the gourd spring water: "You two, please drink some mountain spring water. I guess you are tired of climbing the mountain all the way."

"Okay, you Lai Rui, you have the eyesight."

Li Zhizao smiled and said, then said to Ye Xianggao: "Gei Master, please ask first."

Ye Xianggao turned around and took the gourd, stretched out his sleeves to cover the gourd and drank it, and turned his back to the cliff, asking why his servant didn't come with him.

But at this time, Lai Rui took advantage of the fact that his master looked elsewhere and suddenly pushed Ye Xianggao off the cliff.

"No, Master, Master Ge fell down!"

Lai Rui shouted quickly.

Li Zhizao, who was looking at the scenery in the distance, also heard a pounce from the cliff below, which was obviously a loud noise when Ye Xianggao fell into the deep pool below the cliff.
