In the morning of the next day, the emperor issued an edict that Xu Guangqi, Shao Zhanshi and the censor of Henan Province, was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor at the Ministry of Rites.
There was no objection to these two appointments.
After retreating from the court, he first entered the imperial study room with Xu Guangqi.
After saluting, Xu Guangqi sat down.
Zhu Youxiao choked and said: "A year ago, I had a dream one night.
In the dream, Emperor Taizu said to me that the country has been in crisis for more than two hundred years, and now it is in crisis.
There are constructions outside.
The slaves are raging, and there is famine everywhere.
If we don't rise up and revive, the Ming Dynasty will die in less than thirty years.
I had made preparations early, so there was no need to worry.
I followed Taizu's orders, cultivated military reforms, produced improved seeds, and introduced the learning from the West, hoping to be the foundation of a strong country.
Unexpectedly, I would be sitting here a year later.
If I had known this, I would have been better.
Father Kang Zujian, so that I can be happy to you."
Tears flowed down as he spoke.
The biggest confusion in Xu Guangqi's heart was finally solved, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty's filial piety can be learned from heaven and earth, but the sky will not miss the year.
I ask your Majesty to put the common people in the world first, and not to be too sad to avoid damaging the holy body."
"When I first came to rule the world, I felt that I had a heavy responsibility, but I had little talent and little knowledge.
I would like to ask you, sir, to recommend good materials to me for national use.
One of the good materials would be someone who is proficient in Western astronomy, geography, machinery, firearms, and arithmetic.
People; the second type of good talents are those who are good at finance and farming; the third type of good talents are those who are good at military affairs and are good at training and leading troops.
Please write this book tomorrow and submit these good talents to me in categories. ” This was an expression of absolute trust in Xu Guangqi.
Even the chief minister did not have such great power when he was asked to recommend so many officials at once.
Xu Guangqi felt grateful and knelt down to thank him again.
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly helped him up and said: "There is only one requirement.
The people recommended by the teacher should only have talents, and the rest is not enough."
This is the meaning of meritocracy.
He was afraid that Xu Guangqi's requirements were too high, so he added Such a sentence.
"I will obey the Holy Spirit's decree."
"We are teachers and students, sir, please don't be so formal.
In addition, sir, can you tell me who are the Donglin Party members among the officials in the DPRK and China?"
Xu Guangqi hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called Donglin Party is just a criticism made by political enemies.
I dare not speak out."
Only then did Zhu Youxiao understand that the Donglin Party was a word used only when others attacked Donglin people.
A Donglin person would not stand up and say "I am a Donglin Party" because at this time the word party was often regarded as Clique is a derogatory term.
Xu Guangqi is a very kind person and does not take the opportunity to attack others, which is already very good.
In this case, let's ask another question: "There should be some factions among the ministers in the court.
Why don't you, sir, tell me in detail?"
So Xu Guangqi had to reluctantly tell him the basic situation.
Of course, he didn't use the word "party", but of course Zhu Youxiao understood the meaning.
There are probably several parties in the DPRK now, the Donglin Party, such as Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Jiamo, Zhao Nanxing, Liu Yishui, Han Xu, as well as Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai who are not in office, they are all members of the Donglin Party A famous figure, and Sun Chengzong is also one; then there is the Zhejiang Party, Xiangshoufu Fang Cong Yao Zongwen is the leader of Zhehe; Xiangguan Yingzhen, Wu Liangsi, Huang Yanshi are the Chu party; Xiong Tingbi is also the Chu party; Qi Shijiao and Zhou Yongchun are the Qi party; Generally speaking, the Donglin party is the most powerful , because they contributed the most to the late emperor's appointment as crown prince.
Zhu Youxiao thought that he wanted to reuse the Donglin Party, but now he had offended Li Sancai, and Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou didn't like him either.
Was he too demanding?
In fact, they were both very good, at least whole-hearted.
It's just a matter of expression or stance that makes you dislike them.

As the old saying goes, if you listen to both, you will be enlightened, if you listen to one side, you will be dark.
We cannot beat these people to death with a stick now.
Let's wait and see.
As long as they can serve the country wholeheartedly, I will still use them.
Finally, it’s about the cannons.
Zhu Youxiao said: "The purchase of cannons that was explained last time can now be carried out.
In addition, the key point is talents, cannon-casting talents and cannon-operating talents.
The more the better, just buying cannons will Under the control of the barbarians."
Xu Guangqi also believed this.
After Xu Guangqi left, he summoned Sun Chengzong to pay a visit.
This man looks very majestic.
Although he is nearly sixty years old, he has an iron face and sharp eyebrows, and an angry beard.
He looks more like a military general than a scribe.
In his previous life, he had read the story of Sun Chengzong's governor Liaodong deploying the Ningjin Defense Line, and also knew about his heroic sacrifice in the end, so Zhu Youxiao naturally had a good impression of this person.
After the two sides sat down, Zhu Youxiao first asked him about the current situation in Liaodong.
Sun Chengzong happened to be concerned about side affairs on weekdays, so he explained it to him in detail: In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Yang Hao defeated Sarhu and the imperial court appointed him.
He appointed Xiong Tingbi as the Liaodong manager, but Kaiyuan was captured by Houjin before he left the capital.
By the time he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Tieling had been lost, and all the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang and other castles fled for a while, making people in Liaoyang uneasy.
Xiong Tingbi beheaded the fugitive generals Liu Yujie, Wang Jie, and Wang Wending, and killed the corrupt general Chen Lun.
He also wrote a letter of impeachment and dismissed the chief military officer Li Ruzhen, and replaced him with Li Huaixin.
He urged the soldiers to build chariots, purchase firearms, dig trenches, build city walls, and prepare to defend the city against enemies.
His orders were firm and the law must be implemented.
After a few months, the defense became much stronger and the local soldiers and civilians regained their stability.
In August of the 48th year of Wanli in the first year of Taichang, Nurhachi attacked Puhe.
More than 700 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were scattered, but He Shixian and other generals also contributed to killing the enemy and capturing them.
Now the imperial court has sent Yao Zongwen to review the matter in Liaodong.
I heard that he had many disagreements with Xiong Tingbi, but he has not returned yet, so I don't know what happened.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know Xiong Tingbi well, but from Sun Chengzong's words, it seemed that he still had a positive attitude toward Xiong Tingbi.
Then Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Chengzong for advice on Liaodong strategy, but Sun Chengzong refused to comment on the grounds that he did not understand the situation.
This made Zhu Youxiao have a better impression of him.
If you know something, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it.
Without investigation, you have no right to speak.
He is a doer.
A practical person.
At this time, the eunuch came to report that there was a sudden fire in the Erluan Palace.
Zhu Youxiao was so anxious that he rushed out of the study and ran to the Erluan Palace.
Zhou Yuji, now the emperor's personal guard, also ran with him.
When the two of them ran to the Erluan Palace, the fire had been put out.
Li Xuanshi and Ti Ti Is holding my head and crying.
Seeing that Ti Ti was fine, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked carefully at Li Xuanshi and Ti Ti.
They were both wearing coarse clothes and looked good.
Ti Ti saw him first, called "Brother Huang" and stopped talking.
Her two big eyes were full of grievance and fear, which made Zhu Youxiao's heart hurt
