In the days that followed, the court finally settled down.

This is good news for all the courtiers, everyone is finally having a good life. If Your Majesty doesn't do things, no one wants to continue to do things.

And His Majesty is obsessed with accompanying Empress Zhang and the prince all day long, and he is finally much better.

His Majesty's younger brother was named King Shin and built a royal palace in the capital. The matter of the feudal domain was not carried out, and the reason given was very simple, King Shin was young, and it was not suitable for the feudal domain. What's more, Your Majesty is just this younger brother, and if you want to see your younger brother, you can't see it.

In this regard, although the ministers had something to say, the emperor's attitude was resolute, and no one was stubborn, and he always followed the emperor's thoughts.

Many people don't want to mix this kind of thing, and there is no one who disobeys Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.

As the days passed, things were done one by one.

After a while, something finally happened.

That is about the selection of the secretary of the military department, and this matter has always been a matter of concern to the government and the opposition.

Cabinet scholars can not be elected, and three people are enough for the time being, so there is no need to choose one more person. If you want to choose, it also depends on your majesty's mind.

However, the military department is different, and this requires one person to call the shots. No one is in charge, and it's always uneasy.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The sun was excellent, and Zhu Youxiao turned out the previous fishing rod on a whim and went to the lake again.

After some hard work, he leaned back in his rocking chair and swayed gently, with a fishing rod next to him, and the fish floated on the surface of the water and swayed gently in the breeze.

Chen Hong dismissed the palace people, accompanied his own emperor, and personally took a feather fan and shook it gently.

Basking in the sun, Zhu Youxiao's whole person looked quite lazy.

A palace man ran over quickly with a wooden box in his hand, and when he approached, he suddenly lightened his steps, stepped forward and whispered a few words to Chen Hong.

"Emperor, the cabinet has sent the list of the military department secretary." Chen Hong hurriedly turned around and handed over a copy of the question book.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let's listen to it." I'm curious, what kind of candidates are they going to propose? ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed and unfolded the question book.

After taking a look, Chen Hong looked at Zhu Youxiao with some hesitation and said, "Emperor, the first person to be recommended here is Xiong Tingbi.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned and didn't shake anymore.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't expect this candidate. Han Yi and these people were really interesting, and they actually promoted Xiong Tingbi.

You must know that there are many people in the DPRK who don't look down on Xiong Tingbi, and the three Han Yi in the cabinet don't necessarily look down on him. But this time Xiong Tingbi made meritorious contributions in Liaodong, and it was also the right thing to recommend him.

But this is not the key, these people will naturally not be such a simple reason to recommend Xiong Tingbi. If you can do meritocracy, then the court is not the court. No matter what the era, cronyism is the mainstream.

Slowly closing his eyes, Zhu Youxiao began to ponder.

However, as long as he thought about it for a while, Zhu Youxiao understood why they wanted to promote Xiong Tingbi, to put it bluntly, they wanted to transfer Xiong Tingbi out of Liaodong.

It seems that someone is eyeing the location of Liaodong. This time Liaodong won, and some people couldn't sit still.

The court will definitely use troops against Liaodong next, but the time has not yet been determined. Xiong Tingbi gained the trust of the emperor and made contributions to Liaodong, and it was not easy to impeach Xiong Tingbi, or even impossible.

So these people use the old routine of officialdom, that is, to promote people.

Your Majesty may not accept your impeachment; But if you are promoted to the secretary of the military department, then maybe Your Majesty will accept it.

Only then will there be such a question book, and they will rank Xiong Tingbi first. It just so happened that Xiong Tingbi made a contribution, which is just right.

However, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to agree to this proposal. Now the situation in Liaozhong is very good, and it is the best measure for him to do nothing; Doing something will cause something to happen in Liaodong.

The last thing Zhu Youxiao wants now is to change.

Stability trumps everything.

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes and asked directly, "Is there anyone else?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the second choice is Cui Jingrong." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

Cui Jingrong, this person Zhu Youxiao is naturally no stranger.

Cui Jingrong is very famous, and Zhu Youxiao also knows one thing, this old man and Huang Kezhang are not in harmony, and the two can be said to be disagreeable to each other, and there is occasional friction.

Before this, Cui Jingrong had worked as the secretary of the criminal department, the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry, and he had a lot of experience as an official. If Cui Jingrong is taken back and used, there is naturally no problem.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and asked, "This person was recommended by Xu Guangqi, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it is Xu Ge Lao." Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

He had already guessed this, whether it was Huang Kezhang or Han Yi, it was impossible for these two people to recommend Cui Jingrong, so it could only be Xu Guangqi.

It's really interesting.

"What else? Who else? Zhu Youxiao asked again.

"Back to the emperor, and Wang Xiangqian." Chen Hong said again.

This is also an old minister, and he is very old, even if he is not eighty years old, it is estimated that he is about the same.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao sighed helplessly.

Daming's brain drain is really serious.

Now I still have to use people from the Wanli period, even from the Longqing period, which shows that the Wanli Emperor really didn't cultivate any talents for the Ming Dynasty in the second half of the period.

In such a situation, Zhu Youxiao is useless, and after sending people to the staff office, there is no one to use?

I have to say it's a sad one.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao still has newcomers available, otherwise it will be more troublesome in the future.

"Who else but the two of them?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.

"And Wang Zaijin." Chen Hong said cautiously again.

"It's really good at choosing people." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Tell the cabinet that the secretary of the military department will let Cui Jingrong do it." The cabinet drafted the decree, and the celebrant approved the red. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, bowed and retreated.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao slowly closed his eyes again. 8090

At this point, this matter is over. As for the other effects, he didn't have to think about it.

What is needed above the court is stability, not struggle.

Zhu Youxiao discovered something, and Han Yi didn't seem to be very stable. originally thought that Han Yi would be able to settle down for a little more time and leave himself more time. But I didn't expect that it would be unstable for so long?

After becoming the head of the cabinet, did he become so fast?

You must know that when the Donglin Party was finished, Han Yi could be said to be trembling and walking on thin ice. But how long has it been since some messy thoughts have been developed?

This person's heart is really unreliable, and he wants to be more powerful after holding power.

Leaning back in his chair and sighing, Zhu Youxiao began to ponder the choice of the first assistant of the cabinet again.

If Han Yi did this kind of thing again, he, the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet, would not have to do it.

The news spread quickly, and the emperor appointed Cui Jingrong, but it did not surprise too many people.

Cui Jingrong's qualifications and prestige are there, and it is naturally no problem to be a military secretary. The emperor will not be criticized for using him, so the transition can be regarded as peaceful and stable.

After this matter was over, the court was once again stable.

Soon it was autumn.

The imperial court began to be busy with the autumn harvest, and this year is the first year of large-scale potato planting, and the court and the central government attach great importance to it and are waiting for the potato harvest. This was important to the imperial court.

Since the beginning of the year, the disaster of the imperial court has not stopped. Earthquakes and floods are frequent in various places, and major earthquakes have occurred several times, so there is no need to count other minor disasters.

When the reports from all over the world came up, there were so many things about the disaster that people shuddered. There was also a rebellion in Shandong, and the people's livelihood was difficult, and at such a time, the imperial court also needed food.

Therefore, for the harvest of potatoes this time, the court is very concerned. Zhu Youxiao was naturally very concerned about this, but he did not leave the palace this time, but waited for news in the palace.

"Emperor, Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asks to see you." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao's side and said respectfully.

This made Zhu Youxiao a little unexpected.

Since Cui Jingrong took office as the secretary of the Ministry of War, two words can describe him. That's low-key.

This old minister is almost low-key so that people can't see him, and he doesn't go to the question book on weekdays, and even took several days off in the early dynasty; As for the affairs of the military department, except for maintaining the stable operation of the military department, there are basically no opinions and suggestions, as if it is placed there, like a tablet.

It's not the first time that someone has impeached Cui Jingrong, and Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything about it. As for the question book for the impeachment of Cui Jingrong, all of them were left in the middle.

Who would have thought that Cui Jingrong would actually come today, and see what big things are happening in this posture.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed, and hurriedly waited for Zhu Youxiao to walk forward.

The two soon came to the front, and Zhu Youxiao saw Cui Jingrong.

Seeing that he was about to salute, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said, "Okay, let's be exempt." Aiqing is so old, so it will be free to enter the palace here in the future. ”

"Chen Hong, move a stool for Cui Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao commanded with a smile.

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed, hurriedly walked over and moved a chair over, respectfully placed it beside Cui Jingrong, and said with a smile: "Lord Cui, please take a seat." ”

After Cui Jingrong sat down, Zhu Youxiao said: "Looking at Aiqing's hurried appearance, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Liaodong is in a hurry!" Cui Jingrong hurriedly said, and at the same time took out a question book, and then continued: "Xiong Tingbi put up the question book and said that Nurhachi was dead. This is his script. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face was full of disbelief.

Is Nurhachi actually dead?

He just died?

No, according to the original course of history, Nurhachi has not yet reached the time of death.

Zhu Youxiao said a little impatiently: "Hurry up and get the question book!" ”

Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked over, came to Zhu Youxiao with the question book in both hands, and respectfully handed him the question book.

Zhu Youxiao was very anxious at this time, so he hurriedly took the question book over and quickly flipped through it.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao saw the content of the question book clearly.

Nurhachi is really dead. Nurhachi's death this time has a lot to do with Xiong Tingbi.

In this inscription, Xiong Tingbi wrote in detail how Nurhachi died, how he bombarded Nurhachi with artillery, and how Nurhachi was seriously injured and died.

In addition to the above, the other thing is to ask for merit, which is also the proper meaning.

Zhu Youxiao put down the question book excitedly, laughed and said, "It's really good news!" Xiong Tingbi did a good job in Liaodong and lived up to my trust! Not bad, very good! ”

"Someone! I'm going to pass on to the Cabinet Scholars. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran outside, his steps were very relaxed and happy.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao turned his attention to Cui Jingrong.

It stands to reason that Cui Jingrong, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, should report to the cabinet after getting the news, and then report to himself, the emperor.

But Cui Jingrong didn't do this, he sent it directly to the emperor. As an old fritter in officialdom, it is naturally impossible for him to make such a mistake, so this is what he did on purpose.

It seems that this old guy is not easy to get along with, although it seems that he has his duty, he still has ideas in his heart. But he didn't show it, so Zhu Youxiao didn't ask.

Zhu Youxiao and Cui Jingrong chatted a few words, and they also tried a few words in their tones.

It's just that Cui Jingrong looked very confused, as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao was very helpless, knowing in his heart that he was pretending to be stupid, but he couldn't demolish him.

The small talk between the two did not last long, and soon the three cabinet members arrived.

They had already heard the news from Chen Hong on the way, and they were all happy, especially Xu Guangqi, who couldn't hide the smile on his face at this time.

He was really happy, he had been worried all along; Daming's armament was abandoned, and he had always been worried, and even invited the Holy Decree to train the troops, but he was restrained by many ways, so he was disheartened.

Since being reused by Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi has devoted himself to serving the country and the people. Although there are sometimes conflicts with Zhu Youxiao, in Xu Guangqi's heart, His Majesty is a Ming Jun, young and impulsive, which can be understood.

The facts have also proved that Xu Guangqi is right, what His Majesty has done has already borne fruit, this time Liaodong is the best example, His Majesty did not use Xiong Tingbi wrongly.

Except for Xu Guangqi, Han Yi and Huang Kezhang were not so happy. Especially after they saw Cui Jingrong, how could they not understand in their hearts?

The book of the military department fell into the hands of this guy, which is really uncomfortable.

Especially when Huang Kezhang looked at Cui Jingrong, his eyes were already a little gloomy. It's not been a day since the two were at odds, and now that he's a cabinet scholar, this old guy actually did such a thing?
