After hearing this, Sun Chengzong quickly bowed and agreed, saying, "I will definitely tell him."

Chen Hong nodded, reached out his hand to help Sun Chengzong up, then smiled and bowed to the four cabinet ministers and said, "Your Majesty's message has been passed on. With that, I will take my leave. The ministers are busy."

The four of them smiled as they escorted Chen Hong out, then returned to their own seats.

This incident happened so suddenly that I must think carefully about what happened.

Even Sun Chengzong was the same. He recommended Yuan Keli and sought the position of chief academic officer of the Royal Academy, but now His Majesty did not use him. Instead, he sent him to Denglai as governor.

Of course, compared with Yuan Keli’s previous official position, the position of Governor of Denglai was considered a promotion and a reuse, but it was not something he had planned himself.

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong could only smile bitterly. His Majesty didn't want him to get involved in this matter.

His Majesty used Yuan Keli, whom he recommended, and even made him important. This gave him no intention of recommending anyone else. At the same time, he also made use of his own people. It was obvious that he was trying to appease himself: Don't get excited, I have no opinion about you, I trust you, and I will also use the people you recommended, but not this time.

Sun Chengzong could think of this, and so could the other three people.

However, the other three people had different ideas. Why did Your Majesty treat Sun Chengzong like this?

It's definitely not because he dislikes Sun Chengzong; this is clearly an unusual favor. So, His Majesty doesn't want Sun Chengzong to get involved, but wants his people to continue to get involved.

The reasons are very simple, there are only two. One is that His Majesty wants to see his people fighting each other and does not want Sun Chengzong to end up in trouble, so as not to hurt him by mistake, so he uses this method to make him give up.

The second reason is that Your Majesty is not satisfied with the person recommended by Sun Chengzong, so you want to choose from the people you recommended. But Sun Chengzong is Your Majesty's teacher, and Your Majesty does not want to hurt him, so you use this method to make him give up.

Both are possible. As for which one to believe, it depends on your own interpretation.

The atmosphere in the cabinet was strange all day.

When the shift was over, several people hadn't figured it out yet, but they knew one thing: the remaining three people would probably have to fight.

The first minister of the cabinet, Han Yu, the second minister of the cabinet, Xu Guangqi, and the grand secretary of the cabinet, Huang Kezun, all had their own plans.

In the Western Garden.

Zhu Youxiao was fishing by the lake.

He reached out and tapped the armrest of the chair, his face expressionless. However, he had thought of something, and it seemed that he could start the next step.

Several forces in the court are plotting and scheming against each other, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to do something.

Zhu Youxiao then turned to look at Chen Hong beside him and said expressionlessly, "Go find Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong for me tomorrow. I have something to ask them."

Chen Hong's heart suddenly became alarmed, but even so, he quickly agreed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Chen Hong really wanted to ask what was going on, the emperor obviously had no intention of telling him.

If he dared to ask again at this time, it would be too obvious and the emperor would probably kill him.

So Chen Hong thought about it for a long time but still didn't dare to ask.

After a brief pause, Zhu Youxiao said again, "Send Taoist Han Li from Qingyun Sect over. I want to practice martial arts. He hasn't finished teaching me the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao last time. From now on, have him come over after dinner every day for an hour."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away." Chen Hong was slightly stunned and quickly agreed.

Han Li had been neglected for a long time. Chen Hong originally thought that the emperor had forgotten him, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly summon him now.

Han Li was brought in soon.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Li and noticed that the Taoist priest had gained weight. He had been in the palace for such a long time, but he hadn't lost any weight. Instead, he had eaten a lot of greasy food.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao laughed directly. This person is also a big-hearted person.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Han Li hurriedly bowed.

After staying in the palace for such a long time, Han Li finally realized that this was the end of his life and it was impossible for him to leave.

If you are obedient, you may have a good end; if you are not obedient, you may get sick and die one day.

So Han Li now has a very positive attitude. He is Han Li, the abandoned disciple of Qingyun Sect. He will do whatever His Majesty asks him to do.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Han Li's expression was very respectful.

Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I invited the Taoist priest here today to explain the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao to me. The last time I heard the Taoist priest explain the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, I was quite inspired. I have recently found the sense of Qi. According to what the Taoist priest said, if I continue to practice for a while, I am afraid I will be able to reach the realm of Qi Refining."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Han Li said with a delighted expression, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you are naturally endowed with greater fortune than ordinary people. This makes you perfectly suited to cultivating the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao of our Qingyun Sect. Now that Your Majesty's miraculous power has been revealed, it is Heaven's will for Your Majesty to attain the Dao."

Looking at Han Li's serious expression, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Han Li has made a lot of progress and is much stronger than before.

Zhu Youxiao smiled gently and said, "Then Taoist priest, please continue."

He hadn't had much to do in the palace these days. He ate and slept, and at most walked around the courtyard and went to the alchemy room to make some pills. Han Li knew what His Majesty wanted him to do, so he decided to take it seriously, to save his own life.
