In the following days, the court finally calmed down.

This is good news for all the ministers. Everyone finally has a good life. If His Majesty doesn’t cause trouble, no one wants to continue to cause trouble.

His Majesty was addicted to accompanying Empress Zhang and the Prince all day long, and finally he got much better.

Your Majesty's younger brother was named King Xin and built a palace in the capital. The matter of the vassal state did not proceed, and the reason given was very simple. King Xin was young, but the vassal state was not suitable. What's more, Your Majesty only had this younger brother, and it would be impossible to see his younger brother if he wanted to see his younger brother.

Although the ministers had something to say about this, the emperor's attitude was firm, and no one had to bite the bullet and had always followed the emperor's thoughts.

Many people don’t want to interfere with this kind of thing, and there will be no one who disobeys Zhu Youxiao’s thoughts.

As life passes day by day, things are done one by one.

After a while of silence, something finally happened.

That is about the candidate for the Minister of War, which has always been a matter of concern to the government and the public.

You can not choose a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Three people are enough for the time being, so there is no need to choose another person. Even if you want to choose, it depends on Your Majesty’s thoughts.

However, the Minister of War is different. This requires one person to make the decision. No one is to make the decision, which always makes people feel uneasy.

Inside the palace.

The sun was so beautiful that Zhu Youxiao took out the previous fishing rod on a whim and went to the lakeside.

After some busy work, he leaned on the rocking chair and shook gently, with a fishing rod next to it, and the fish float swayed gently in the water with the breeze.

Chen Hong dismissed the palace servants, accompanied by his prince, and personally took a feather fan and shook it gently.

In the sun, Zhu Youxiao looked quite lazy.

A palace man ran over quickly with a wooden box. When he approached, he suddenly took a lighter pace and stepped forward and whispered a few words to Chen Hong.

"Emperor, the cabinet has delivered the list of Ministers of War." Chen Hong quickly turned around and handed over a question book.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let's listen. I'm very curious. What kind of candidates will they recommend?"

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed and expanded the question book.

After taking a look, Chen Hong looked at Zhu Youxiao hesitantly and said, "Old Master, the first person recommended here is Xiong Tingbi.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned and stopped shaking.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't expect this candidate. Han Du and others were really interesting, and they actually recommended Xiong Tingbi.

You know, there are many people in the court who do not look down on Xiong Tingbi, and Han Du and the other two in the cabinet may not be as good as him. However, this time Xiong Tingbi made contributions in Liaodong, and it is also a good idea to recommend him.

But this is not the key. Of course, these people will not have such a simple reason to recommend Xiong Tingbi. If you can only do the talent, then the court will not be the court. No matter what era, nepotism is the mainstream.

Slowly closing his eyes, Zhu Youxiao began to think about it.

However, if you think about it for a moment, Zhu Youxiao understood why they elected Xiong Tingbi. To put it bluntly, they wanted to transfer Xiong Tingbi away from Liaodong.

It seems that some people have set their sights on the position of Liaodong. This time, Liaodong won, and some people can't sit still.

The court will definitely use troops to Liaodong next, but the time has not been determined. Xiong Tingbi won the emperor's trust and made contributions in Liaodong. It is difficult to impeach Xiong Tingbi, and it is even basically impossible.

So these people use the old routine in the officialdom, which is to promote people.

Your Majesty may not accept the impeachment of you; but if you are promoted to Minister of War, your Majesty may accept it.

This is why there is such a question book, and they ranked Xiong Tingbi first. Xiong Tingbi made a contribution, and this reason is just right.

However, Zhu Youxiao could not agree to this proposal. The situation in Liaozhong is very good now, and the best measure is that he does nothing; doing anything will cause changes in Liaodong.

What Zhu Youxiao wants the least now is the change.

Maintaining stability is better than everything.

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

"Go back to the emperor, the second candidate is Cui Jingrong." Chen Hong said hurriedly.

Cui Jingrong, this person, Zhu Youxiao is naturally familiar with.

Cui Jingrong is very famous, and Zhu Youxiao also knows one thing: the old man and Huang Kezhang are in a bad relationship. The two can be said to be disliked by each other and occasionally have friction.

Before this, Cui Jingrong was the Minister of Justice, the Minister of War and the Minister of Personnel, and had a very rich experience in serving as an official. If Cui Jingrong was brought back and used, there would naturally be no problem.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and asked, "Is this person recommended by Xu Guangqi?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's Master Xu Ge." Chen Hong did not dare to neglect and said quickly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

He had long guessed this. Neither Huang Kezhang nor Han Du, it was impossible for both of them to recommend Cui Jingrong, so it was only Xu Guangqi.

It's really interesting.

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

"Go 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 as old as eighty, he will probably be almost the same.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao sighed helplessly.

The loss of talent in the Ming Dynasty was really serious.

Now we have to use people from the Wanli period, or even from the Longqing period, which shows that Emperor Wanli really did not train any talents for the Ming Dynasty in the second half.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youjian was not available. After sending the person to the Advisory Office, no one could use it?

It has to be said to be a sad thing.

Fortunately, there are newcomers available to Zhu Youzhai, otherwise it will be even more troublesome in the future.

"Who else except them?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.

"There is still Wang Zaijin." Chen Hong said carefully again.

"I really know how to select people." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Tell the cabinet, let Cui Jingrong do it. The cabinet drafts an order and the chief ceremonials approve the credit."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly agreed and bowed and retreated.

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

This matter has come to an end here. As for other impacts, he doesn't need to consider it.

What is needed in the court is stability and no struggle.

Zhu Youxiao discovered something, and Han Yu seemed to be unstable. He originally thought that Han Yu would be able to be more stable and leave more time for himself. But he didn't expect that he would be unstable after just such a little time?

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

You know, when the Donglin Party was over, Han Yu could be said to be

Trembling, walking on thin ice. But how long has it been after, some messy thoughts have emerged?

This person's heart is really unreliable. He wants something more powerful after holding power.

He leaned on the chair and sighed, and Zhu Youxiao began to think about the candidate for the cabinet chief.

If Han Du did this again, he, the chief minister of the cabinet, would not have to do it.

The news soon spread, and the emperor appointed Cui Jingrong, which was not beyond the expectations of many people.

Cui Jingrong's qualifications and prestige are there, so there is no problem to be a minister of the Ministry of War. He will not be criticized even if the emperor appointed him, so the transition can be considered peaceful and stable.

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

Autumn will soon come.

The court began to be busy with autumn harvest. This year is the first year for large-scale planting of potatoes. The court attaches great importance to it and is waiting for the potato harvest. This is very important to the court.

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

When the reports from various places came out, there were many incidents about disasters, which made people shudder. Shandong also rebelled, and people's livelihood was so difficult. At such a time, the court also needed food.

Therefore, the court paid great attention to the potato harvest this time. Zhu Youxiao was naturally very concerned about this, but he did not leave the palace this time, but was waiting for news in the palace.

"The Emperor, Minister of War Cui Jingrong asked for a meeting." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao and said respectfully.

This made Zhu Youxiao unexpected.

Since Cui Jingrong took office as Minister of War, two words can be described as him. That is, low-key.

This old minister was so low-key that he couldn't see him. He didn't put a question book on weekdays, and even asked for several fakes in the morning court. He had basically no opinions or suggestions on the matters of the Ministry of War, except for maintaining the stable operation of the Ministry of War, as if he had put it there, like a tablet.

It was not once that someone had impeached Cui Jingrong, and Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything about this. As for the book of impeaching Cui Jingrong, all of them were left behind.

Who would have thought that Cui Jingrong would come today? It depends on what big thing happened in this situation.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed and hurriedly served Zhu Youxiao forward.

The two of them soon arrived ahead, and Zhu Youxiao saw Cui Jingrong.

Seeing that he was about to salute, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said, "Okay, please be exempted from rituals. My dear is so old, so I will be exempt from rituals when I enter the palace in the future."

"Chen Hong, bring a stool for Cui Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao ordered with a smile.

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed, hurried over and brought a chair over, placed it respectfully beside Cui Jingrong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cui, please sit down."
