Huang Daozhou is indeed worthy of being a great scholar of the world. As soon as the advice was made, people responded to it. In less than two days, Zhu Cijiu received nearly 500 impeachment memorials. What does this mean? You must know that all the officials in Beijing are only more than 1,000, which means that nearly half of the officials opposed the promotion of Western learning!

The attitudes of other officials are not yet known. They are either self-protectionists or are embarrassed to impeach memorials due to the face of Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and others. Those who truly agree with the promotion of Xixue are probably less than a CD.

Zhu Cijing was a little scared, and he finally realized the helplessness of Wanli and Tianqi. Emperor Wanli is not a fool, and Emperor Tianqi is not a fool. Why are he scared by his subordinates so hard that he dare not go to court? There is a word called public anger. In a common way, it is collective strike. If you are the emperor or the boss, and if others stop doing it, what can you do with them?

A company can also close down, can the country close down? That is called a destruction of the country!

Zhu Cijing knew that they could not be impeached like this, and if they were not dealt with, something big would definitely happen. However, how to deal with it, he had no good idea, so he could only attract a group of confidants to discuss it.

Looking at his two or three kittens, and thinking about the civil and military officials in the court, Zhu Cijing felt a desire for power. If the civil and military officials in the court listened to him, why would he be so depressed?

How could all the civil and military officials in the court listen to him? Do you value eunuchs like Emperor Tianqi? Wei Zhongxian took over the Donglin Party, and no one in the court dared to resist him. But those officials were afraid of Emperor Tianqi, but Wei Zhongxian. Should he also train someone to come out after nine thousand years? Let's forget it.

Zhu Cijiu still prefers to slowly cultivate his confidants to take power. Although this is time-consuming, at least there will be no situation where one family is the only one and the other is the only one.

Of course, these are all later stories. The most urgent task now is to calm the impeachment storm.

Now there are Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, Cao Huachun and other close friends in the imperial study. Everyone stood there with a look of sorrow and frowned and thoughtful. The entire study room had no other sound except for the low breathing sound, and the scene was extremely depressing.

Zhu Cijing thought for a while, but when he saw that everyone was not silenced, he had to point at the stacks of memorials on the desk and said helplessly: "What should I do? Let's talk about it."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other without saying a word, and could only shake their heads and sigh. This time the matter was too big, almost half of the court jumped out to object, and everyone really couldn't think of any perfect solution.

Finally, Xu Guangqi sighed and said tragically: "Their target is me. The emperor will be fine if he removes me from office and investigates it."

Zhu Cijing was stunned when he heard this. What a joke. Xu Guangqi is his number one general. Isn’t he just abolishing his martial arts skills? He shook his head and said, “This is my idea. You can’t blame your mentor. Besides, their target is not you, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijing's head flashed with an inspiration and clapped his hands and said, "Yes, their goal is to stop the promotion of Western learning. If we don't promote it for the time being, wouldn't it be fine!"

When Xu Guangqi heard this, his eyes showed hope, but after thinking about it, he shook his head sadly and said, "What should I do if I don't promote Xixue's military factory? Who will do the flintlock rifle? It's not useful to rely on us alone to make a few more times a day!"

Zhu Cijing didn't answer. He pondered for a while and asked again: "How many students have you recruited now?"

Xu Guangqi sighed: "A total of only a thousand people have been recruited, and they are all children of craftsmen under the Ministry of Works. Who else dares to sign up after they make such a fuss?"

There were only a thousand people, and it seemed that there were a little fewer. He asked Bi Maokang again: "Meng Hou, aren't there more than 10,000 craftsmen under the Ministry of Works? Why are there such a few people here to sign up?"

Bi Maokang replied awkwardly: "Master, there are also divisions of labor in this craftsman, including bricklayer, carpenter, blacksmith, and stonemason. Those who can really train to make flintlock parts in a short period of time are carpenters and blacksmiths. Besides, they all have a skill, and no one wants to change their careers to learn this. Only those with relatively prosperous family members will send one or two juniors to try their luck."

Zhu Cijing was stunned when he heard this, and he took it for granted. Forget it, one thousand is just one thousand, and you must make a decision early, otherwise something big will happen sooner or later if this happens. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Then let it be. All of these thousand people are recruited to Wang Gong Factory, and there is no need to work. Let them work with you during the day, provide on-site guidance, and teach them how to read pictures at night. As for the four schools, let them do it and let them use it to spread the articles of saints. This is fine. Also, you have to be wronged by your mentor and have a one-year salary. What do you think?"

Xu Guangqi had already made plans to lose his official position. This one-year salary fine was nothing. He said indifferently: "I am still poor at home, so it's nothing to be fined for a year. As long as I can suppress the matter."

Of course, Zhu Cijing didn't really want to fine him. He immediately explained: "This salary penalty for one year is just to silence them. How can I let my mentor suffer a loss? Eunuch Cao went to the inner treasury to get 5,000 taels of silver notes to his mentor."

When Xu Guangqi heard this, tears filled his eyes with tears. He quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it,"

The salary of officials and employees in the Ming Dynasty was very low. His monthly salary was only more than 100 taels for a first-rank official. The 5,000 taels were enough for his salary for several years, so he naturally refused.

Zhu Cijiu didn't care about this little money, so he forced it into his hands and sent them away. Then he ordered Cao Huachun to draw an order and read it in public tomorrow morning.

The general meaning is: Emperor Chongzheng did not consider it carefully. He decided to humbly accept everyone's suggestions and stop promoting Xixue. The school he built was given to the lecturer Huang Daozhou to spread the articles of saints. Although Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites, did not bear the main responsibility, he was the imperial teacher and did not teach well, and he was a special salary of one year to be punished.

As soon as the imperial edict was read the next day, Huang Daozhou was naturally satisfied. He not only dissuaded the emperor, but also rectified the imperial teacher, earning a lot of face. As a knowledgeable scholar, he naturally understood the principle of reciprocity. With his own face, he naturally could not make the emperor too embarrassed. So he immediately changed his face and praised the emperor for his wiseness and ability in his youth.

Qian Qianyi was so depressed that he had been so depressed that he had been twice. He was a mistaken coupon and did not achieve his goal at all. He was a villain twice, but he did not get any benefits.

Zhu Cijing was also very depressed. This matter was solved, but the output of flintlock rifles has also dropped seriously. It would be great if he could make 20,000 yuan a year for only one thousand people. This delayed his time to clear the rebel army for a few years. These Donglin Party really killed people.

Of course he would not let these people go. After he got off the court, he immediately called Cao Huachun and said with gritted teeth: "Send me a few good literary characters into their interior. I want to see who always can't get along with me."
