Days pass by one by one, and things are done one by one.

The same thing happened at court. After all the commotion, many things had come to an end. The cabinet ministers who should have gone home went home, and those who should have stayed did so. Only Han Yu remained.

The Tongzhou wharf in the capital is densely populated and crowded with grain ships.

The passenger ship next to it seemed less noticeable. Many officials were standing on the dock, surrounding Liu Yijing.

Liu Yijing looked at the people who came to see him off, smiled, and bowed. He said, "I am leaving today while you are still here. From now on, the court, the country, and the world will be entrusted to you."

Everyone politely returned the greeting, praising him, "Your Excellency's visit is truly glorious."

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage slowly approached from a distance. The sound of horse hooves seemed particularly prominent in this bustling dock for some reason.

Everyone looked over hesitantly. Who would come over at a time like this?

But they soon found out who was coming.

The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Han Yu walked out.

In fact, many people in the court had not expected this. They originally thought that it would be Han Yu who would leave, or that Liu Yijing and Han Yu would leave together.

No one expected that in the end, it was Han Yu who stayed, while Liu Yijing, who everyone had high hopes for, left.

When they saw Han Yu coming, everyone quickly made way for him.

Now Han Yu is the chief minister of the cabinet. For those present, Han Yu is their future boss.

Besides, Han Yu was also a cabinet minister before this, so he should be treated with due respect.

Arriving in front of Liu Yijing, Han Yu bowed and said, "Lord."

Liu Yijing quickly took a step forward, extended his hand to support Han Yu, and said with a smile, "Yu Chen is too polite. There are many things going on in the court right now, and they are quite complicated. Many things need your attention. In fact, you don't need to come today. I know what you are thinking."

After hearing this, Han Yu smiled and said, "The Lord has worked hard for the country for many years. It's natural for me to come and see you off as you leave the capital. Although there are many things to do in the court, with the foundation left by the Lord, there will be no problems."

This statement was a bit fake, not to mention that the people around him did not believe it, even Liu Yijing himself did not believe it. Because everyone knew what happened when he was the chief minister in the cabinet.

A few days ago, the court was in an uproar because of that incident. Some people were even beheaded, and the case has not been fully investigated yet.

So it can't be said that there is any good foundation left. It is more reasonable to say that it is a mess, so Han Yu's words can only be polite.

After hearing this, Liu Yijing smiled awkwardly and said with a little embarrassment: "Yu Chen, the affairs of the court are complicated, and everything is handed over to you. Take care of it yourself. There are so many people in the court, and everyone supports you, so do your best."

Han Yu was not so optimistic about his future.

Although he is now the chief minister of the cabinet, Han Yu knows his situation very well. He estimates that he will not be able to stay in this position for too long, after all, there are people watching him from behind.

Even if no one was watching him, he wouldn't be able to do it for long. The current political situation was too chaotic, and His Majesty had too much to do.

If I cannot satisfy His Majesty, then it will be time for me to leave the capital. I don't know when this day will come, but judging by my style and my thoughts, it probably won't be long.

However, Han Yu would not tell Liu Yijing about this matter because it didn't mean much.

Liu Yijing must have understood, and everyone else present understood, that the reason they stayed was not because His Majesty had high hopes for them, but because His Majesty needed an old man to watch over the cabinet.

Compared to others, I am just more suitable.

"It's getting late. Thank you all for seeing me off. I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Liu Yijing bowed to everyone, turned around and got on the boat. Standing at the stern, he waved to everyone, and then walked into the cabin.

After watching Liu Yijing leave, Han Yu did not stay here for too long. He got on the carriage and headed towards the capital.

Although he had not admitted it just now, what Liu Yijing said was actually right. There were indeed many things that needed to be dealt with in the court, and there were indeed many complicated things.

At least how to get along with these new cabinet members is a very tricky matter, especially since these people were promoted by His Majesty himself and their identities are very unusual.

First, there was Xu Guangqi. No one expected that he would sit in the position of second assistant.

This was something that was beyond everyone's expectations. After all, before this, Xu Guangqi was not valued much by His Majesty, or there were some signs, but no one took it seriously.

Originally, Xu Guangqi's status was very low. He was just training troops in Tongzhou, and he was always suppressed. He even submitted a petition to resign.

However, His Majesty transferred Xu Guangqi to the capital, gave him the position of Minister, and asked him to follow Qi Jin to train the new army of the Tiger Roar Camp.

No one found it strange because this was Xu Guangqi's specialty after all.

Who could have thought that this time Xu Guangqi suddenly stood out and directly became the second assistant of the cabinet, which was a position second only to Han Yu, the first assistant of the cabinet.

The key issue is that Xu Guangqi was ranked before Sun Chengzong. Everyone knew Sun Chengzong, a teacher that His Majesty respected very much.

When something happened in the court before, no one could see His Majesty, but His Majesty only saw Sun Chengzong.
