Although Xu Guangqi and other officials were relatively open-minded, they did not object to Zhu Youxiao's series of words and actions in the Ministry of Works, and some even worshiped him.

But in the court, it was not understood by all officials.

Zhu Youxiao's behavior in the Ministry of Works was finally known to these officials, and the shock caused was no less than that of his situation when he dealt with the Donglin Party and the Shanxi Merchants.

Among them, what the scholars and officials accepted was that he easily granted the exclusive Qing ranks that only civil officials had to civil servants to craftsmen and a Westerner.

If you are not a Jinshi, you will not be a Hanlin, and if you are not a Hanlin, you will not be a cabinet. In the eyes of literati, Hanlin is an extremely noble position.

However, Zhu Youxiao awarded the Hanlin Academy review to Johnson Chan, and made several craftsmen who invented the flintlock rifle become Chengzhilang and Chengwulang, the Hanlin civil servants.

In the eyes of civil officials, this is undoubtedly trampling on the civil officials' official system and destroying the Confucian monopoly authority over academics.

A certain censor even took the lead in impeachment of Xu Guangqi, and naturally they did not dare to make direct criticism of Zhu Youxiao, so Xu Guangqi became a scapegoat.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not care about the impeachment of Xu Guangqi by these censors, and all the memorandums were still kept at the end of the Communist Party of China.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao considered that the traditional landlord and gentry class was too large and he was now enemies of the merchant class, so he could not immediately turn against these landlords and gentry, so he did not dare to overthrow the absolute Confucian system in a big way.

Therefore, he did not punish the censor, but instead promoted him to the Minister of Taichang Temple.

In addition, due to the Donglin case, most of the officials in the court had vacant quotas. In order to win over the hearts of the scholars, Zhu Youxiao also asked Qian Qianyi, the new right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, to prepare for the next year's competition year and to inform the world that due to many disasters and difficulties, people with ambitions urgently needed to serve the country. Therefore, Kobe's examination was held in this conference and doubled in previous years, and the provincial provincial examinations should also increase the quota limit in the future, which should not be less than one-fifty thousand of the total household registration.

Zhu Youxiao's move immediately caused an uproar in the Shilin class, especially the middle and lower-level scholars who stopped as scholars and scholars were even more grateful to Zhu Youxiao's actions.

Of course, most of these royalists were middle and lower-class scholars.

In this way, it can be regarded as the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who took care of the scholars who supported him in disguise.

The royalists were naturally grateful and expressed their respect for Zhu Youxiao in the Daming Daily. Some fanatics even expressed their willingness to break their descendants into the palace to serve His Majesty in front of him.

Zhu Youxiao naturally refused this and wrote a letter to the Daming Daily, warning many scholars not to think about it. He should have the aspiration of Zuti to dance when he heard the rooster dance, study hard, and come to serve the court every day.

Of course, Zhu Youchao expanded the quota of imperial examinations and required that the quota of provincial examinations should not be less than one-fifty thousand of the total household registration number. In fact, he also took certain care of places where the provincial examinations died in Jiangnan.

Because these places are the most densely populated places, Zhu Youzhai has expanded the quota, which undoubtedly gives scholars in this area greater opportunities for advancement.

The imperial examination is a powerful tool to maintain social stability. With the dream of rising a poor family in the morning and the emperor's hall, few people want to make things difficult for Zhu Youxiao, let alone rebellion.

When officials who represented the interests of the gentry class saw Zhu Youxiao's actions, they felt that he had no intention of opposing the entire Confucian scholars. Most of them were relieved, saying that Your Majesty might just like strange tricks and tricks, not that he did not respect Confucius and Mencius.

In fact, they didn't know that Zhu Youxiao was just waiting for the opportunity. As early as a month ago, he had already asked the Dongchang to install eyeliner in Kong Mansion of SD.

...

As soon as Zhu Youxiao came back from the Ministry of Works, heavy snow began to fall throughout the capital.

Wang Chengen hurriedly opened the large umbrella that had been prepared and placed it on Zhu Youxiao's forehead, and ordered the people below to put the cloak on Zhu Youxiao.

"I'll do it myself." Zhu Youxiao took the big cloak from the yellow gate and swung it behind him and put it on his shoulder. Liang Fu, the junior supervisor behind him, hurriedly walked up to clean up Zhu Youxiao, but Wang Chengen glared at him.

Liang Fu had no choice but to retreat.

Wang Chengen held an umbrella in one hand and sorted out the cloak behind Zhu Youxiao with the other hand, and said, "Your Majesty, the snow is too heavy today. Why don't we go back to the palace first and don't go to the Beijing camp. Let's go tomorrow."

"No! I have issued an order to go to Shenshi today, so I cannot let the soldiers wait for a fight in vain."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen naturally did not dare to disobey, and responded to "Yes!" and then stepped aside.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say much. Seeing that Liu Rushi's face was red from the cold, he regretted that he shouldn't have brought the little girl out this morning, so he covered Liu Rushi's head with a lifting cloak: "Get closer to me."

"Yes," Liu Rushi responded and hid in Zhu Youxiao's cloak obediently. He raised his head and asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, are you cold?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I am not a wood, so it's naturally very cold."

"I feel that it's not cold. I feel that such thick clothes are much warmer than when it snowed last year. My maid's friend Erya died of cold last year when it snowed last year."

Liu Rushi looked very calm when she said this, but she could also see how deeply the heavy snow last year left her.

Zhu Youxiao patted her little head and said nothing.

On the contrary, Liu Rushi suddenly raised his little head again: "Your Majesty, do you have any good friends?"

"I don't have it," Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.

"Why? Your Majesty has followed so many people, aren't they all?" Liu Rushi asked with big eyes and confused.

"They are sometimes my partners, sometimes my enemies. I need them all the time, but I am always on guard against them." Zhu Youxiao sighed as he said: "Since he became the emperor, he was destined to be alone."

The little Liu Rushi nodded in a slight understanding, thinking that he and His Majesty are both people without friends.

"Xiao Rushi, come in." As soon as Zhu Youxiao entered the dragon chariot, he waved to Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and jumped into the dragon chariot, sat on the soft couch next to Zhu Youxiao's dragon chaise and giggled.

"Get closer and roast the fire, see how your little hands are frozen."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he pulled Liu Rushi to his side, and used small iron chopsticks to pick up charcoal. Suddenly, a flame floated up and countless sparks rose.

"Okay!" Liu Rushi sat over very obediently, smiled at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, let me accompany you out of the palace in the future. I like to listen to Your Majesty telling stories."

"Little girl movies, don't you know the saying of accompanying the king and accompanying the tiger?" Zhu Youxiao scraped Liu Rushi's nose.

Liu Rushi still giggled and said, "Your Majesty, I will sing a lyrics for you, it was taught by my father."

"Carry it, I'll give you a reward," Zhu Youxiao said and lay half on the dragon couch, narrowing his eyes.

Liu Rushi began to sing Li Qingzhao's Bodhisattva Man very seriously: the sound of returning to the geese was broken and the clouds were broken, and the snow on the back of the window fell to the furnace and the smoke was straight...
