The affairs of the southwest are a major event in the court, but everyone focuses on different things.

The ministers were more concerned about their official positions than She Chongming's rebellion.

As for She Chongming's rebellion, they thought it was too far away from them and would never affect the capital or them in their lifetime.

Zhu Youxiao did not think about changing them. Instead of wasting his energy, he would rather do what he should do.

However, a new question also emerged in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, that is, who is Sun Chuanting.

This time the imperial court established the Governor of Southwest China, and many people had actually started to keep an eye on him.

This is the Governor's Office, which has great power. It will also participate in suppressing the rebellion, which is an opportunity to make meritorious service. Once the rebellion is suppressed, you can take this opportunity to get promoted.

Among them, one person stood out, and that person was Sun Chuanting.

An ordinary military officer in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War was suddenly promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. This position seemed to be a bit like a military supervisor.

Although he was not given a clear official position and was only assigned to the Governor's Office, this was enough. Once the southwest was pacified, he would definitely be promoted.

No one knew why, so everyone had to look for information on Sun Chuanting. However, no one found anything useful.

In the 47th year of the Wanli reign, Sun Chuanting passed the imperial examination and was appointed magistrate of Yongcheng County. He went to Beijing to work as the chief examiner of the Ministry of Personnel, and later became a doctor in the military selection department of the Ministry of War. Then there was no more.

There was nothing strange about his entire resume. The only strange thing was that it seemed like someone was secretly promoting him, from a county magistrate directly to the capital, and then he actually entered the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. This time, he rose to the top in one step and became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

Ministry of War.

Many people were trying to find out about Sun Chuanting, but for people in the Ministry of War, it was easier for them to get close to Sun Chuanting, so many people took the opportunity to get close to him.

This made Sun Chuanting very annoyed and he couldn't do his work properly.

Although the court had made new arrangements for Sun Chuanting's position, he had to wait until Yuan Keli came to Beijing and officially took office before he could report to Yuan Keli.

So Sun Chuanting can only stay in the Ministry of War now, but the current situation makes it impossible for him to stay any longer.

The person delivering documents at the door, this is the seventh one today, right?

Sun Chuanting shook his head helplessly. He knew what these people were thinking. They just wanted to become successful so that they could be promoted.

Sun Chuanting wanted to tell them that it was useless to do so, because he himself didn't know why he was promoted.

However, even though he didn't know, Sun Chuanting was still very excited about his promotion. After all, it was a good thing.

In addition, this time he was going to the southwest to participate in the court's suppression of the rebellion, which was an opportunity for him to learn and also an opportunity to display his talents.

Now, when he thought about the people who came to get close to him one after another today, Sun Chuanting naturally couldn't be happy.

Should I take two days of sick leave?

But before he could move, someone walked in from outside.

The person who came was a eunuch.

This makes people even more hesitant.

Many people know him. He is Chen Hong, the eunuch close to the current emperor.

When Sun Chuanting saw Chen Hong walking towards him, he couldn't help but hesitate, but he still walked over.

The moment he saw Sun Chuanting, a bright smile appeared on Chen Hong's face.

Compared to people outside, Chen Hong obviously knew more. He knew that Sun Chuanting was a person that His Majesty was paying attention to, and that he had been paying attention to him for quite some time.

Chen Hong had long known that Sun Chuanting would be reused, and things turned out just as he expected, Sun Chuanting was indeed reused.

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Lord Sun, His Majesty has summoned you."

Sun Chuanting was stunned. Your Majesty, do you want to see me?

The officials in the court have different opinions and evaluations about the current emperor.

Many people regard His Majesty as a wise ruler and the savior of the Ming Dynasty; many people think that His Majesty is a foolish ruler, and if he continues like this, he may very likely become the ruler who destroys the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, some things can't be said out loud and can only be thought of in the heart. But in the officialdom, there are no secrets, and this trend has been around for some time.

Sun Chuanting had never met His Majesty, so he didn't know how to evaluate him. As an official with a strong opinion, Sun Chuanting was inclined to believe that His Majesty was a wise ruler.

His Majesty stopped the construction of the palace and was very frugal. There were only three women in the palace and no one else.

However, there are also some things that are hard to bear, such as appointing Wei Zhongxian, believing in the evil Taoist priests in the palace, and not being kind enough to officials.

Sun Chuanting actually had reservations about these matters. After all, those who were ousted, led by the Donglin Party, had gone too far, engaging in corruption, bribery, and falsely accusing court officials.

Some people also said that it was Wei Zhongxian who framed those people, but Sun Chuanting felt that it was not necessarily all false accusations.

He had been an official in the Ming Dynasty for several years and knew the Ming officialdom well. Those officials who appeared to be honest on the surface might not be exactly the same behind the scenes.

Seeing Sun Chuanting in a daze, Chen Hong frowned and said, "Sir Sun, has His Majesty summoned you?"

At this time, Sun Chuanting came to his senses and realized that the emperor wanted to see him.

He quickly asked, "Eunuch Chen, I wonder what the Emperor wants to hear about?"

"This is not something that we servants can know." Chen Hong said with a smile: "If there is nothing else, Lord Sun, please come with me to the palace."
