The entire Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, never looked down on them.

Even if they were caught, the people of the capital would probably treat them as a joke. So if Yuan Keli and the others hadn't come back, they probably wouldn't have brought them with them.

Of course, the greater purpose of this proposal was to flatter Zhu Youxiao.

The emperor was young and easily indulged in ostentation, so this was at least an attempt to quell a rebellion.

If the emperor wants to see the captives, isn't that perfect? ​​These people of ours can even get some more credit.

If the emperor didn't want to see it, then I just mentioned it. After such a great victory, the emperor wouldn't say anything.

Therefore, offering prisoners is a sure win.

Zhu Youxiao could only accept this and said, "Send an order to Yuan Keli and tell him that it is not necessary. Offering captives is just a waste of money and manpower."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll take note of it." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

Although Chen Hong looked very happy, with congratulations and greetings, he actually didn't think this was a big achievement. It was just a rebellion by a few bumpkins in the southwest. How big of a fuss could it get?

Zhu Youxiao had no way to change this.

No one in the court paid much attention to the She'an Rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao continued, "Let Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong return. As for Yuan Keli, he can return when he has taken charge of the southwest. He'll still be needed to implement the policy of converting natives into Han Chinese. Let the cabinet draft an imperial decree for him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed and said respectfully.

"Also, I have approved the report of merit submitted by Yuan Keli. Tell the cabinet not to be stingy with rewards and not to be stingy with money. The merits earned by the soldiers at the front with their lives must not be leniently rewarded."

"Also, tell Zhao Bingzhong of the Ministry of Public Security to send someone to keep an eye on this money. Don't allow it to be embezzled. If anyone touches this money, have them arrested immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed again.

"Okay, go ahead and do it!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao shook his head and turned to walk into the bedroom.

There, Empress Zhang was still waiting for him.

Just tell them about these things, and don't worry too much about them. Otherwise, all the efforts I've made in battling wits and courage with my ministers recently will be in vain.

Emperors must learn to delegate power.

If you do well, you will be rewarded; if you do not do well, you will be replaced. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This is the only way to ensure that you do not burn out and live longer.

Zhu Youxiao did not admire many emperors, but many of the emperors he admired died of exhaustion.

He doesn't want to die of exhaustion, he wants to ensure his health.

Zhu Youxiao knew very well what his life meant to the country.

Therefore, it is important for Zhu Youxiao to take care of his health.

We cannot fight for short-term gains, we must have a long-term vision.

The Emperor went to accompany the Empress, and the officials below became busy. However, since the court had not yet opened, many things could not be done accurately, so they could only make preparations first.

The Lantern Festival is coming soon and the New Year is almost over.

Although there were many things going on in the imperial court last year, the overall situation was quite peaceful. The people's lives were not greatly affected and they lived quite well. Therefore, this year's Lantern Festival was particularly lively.

Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to sneak out of the palace, but was stopped by Empress Zhang.

The reason that "The Lantern Festival is too chaotic and Your Majesty cannot leave the palace" is really impossible to refuse, not to mention that Empress Zhang also brought up Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian, ​​as if she wanted to accompany Zhu Youxiao to celebrate the festival.

This way, Zhu Youxiao had even less reason to leave.

After the Lantern Festival, most of the government offices resumed operations, and the entire Ming Dynasty began to officially wake up.

Everything started to fall into place.

There are many things to do at the court this year. In addition to farming, the first major event of spring, there are several other major things to prepare for.

For example, the land census of the nobles was only prepared before the New Year, but it would officially begin after the New Year, and all hidden fields would be cleared out.

In addition, there is the imperial examination.

This year is the year of the big competition, and everyone is watching.

This was the first major competition since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and it can be said to be of extraordinary significance.

In addition, the establishment of the General Staff Office also caused quite a stir.

In short, this spring, the Ming Dynasty seems to be on the move.

Countless people are planning,

Countless people are calculating,

But everyone's eyes were looking inside the palace.

Waiting for the young man.
