The results of this have now become apparent. Zhu Youxiao can get information at any time that he could not get before but can now easily get.

These people can now also play a role.

For Zhu Youxiao, this investment was worth it.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Hong quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will pass it on immediately."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said nothing more.

After this matter was handed down, there was nothing else for him to do in the court. His main task for the next period of time was to stabilize the situation.

The new army is continuing to train and has established two offices to command the imperial army. It may take some time for it to grow into a combat-ready force.

The matter at the Ministry of Revenue has also come to an end, and the money has basically been divided up. Those who should have been given have been given, and those who should not have been given have not been given.

As for the Ministry of War's desire to strengthen the border troops, Zhu Youxiao also agreed.

Zhu Youxiao also agreed to the expansion of the Hundred Crafts Institute and the steel plant.

Zhu Youxiao was still considering the Ministry of Personnel's push for official supervision. The most important issue here was the performance evaluation system, which needed further study, so there was no need to make any major changes for now.

As for the matter of the Ministry of Rites Academy, it is already being processed and I believe there will be results soon.

Apart from that, there was nothing else to worry about for the time being. Stability was the prevailing trend in the court. The best situation would be to let this transition pass and not have any problems during this period.

Don't be impatient, we must remain stable during this period, Zhu Youxiao can wait.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside and a figure walked in quickly.

He was a small messenger who came to report a message.

Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, Chen Hong turned around and went to meet him.

The young errand boy came to Chen Hong and said quickly, "Sir, several cabinet ministers are here."

Chen Hong waved his hand, signaling the young servant to withdraw, then turned to Zhu Youxiao and said directly, "Your Majesty, the four ministers of the cabinet request an audience."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

There is nothing going on in the court right now that can attract several cabinet ministers to come together. Could something have happened?

Zhu Youxiao said, "Let them in."

I couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, so I decided to meet them.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Zhu Youxiao had a sullen face, waiting for the arrival of these cabinet ministers.

Not long after, Han Yu and others walked in from outside.

After paying his respects to Zhu Youxiao, Han Yu said excitedly, "Your Majesty, great news! Victory has just arrived from Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi has defeated the wild boar outside Shenyang!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao stood up.

There was no joy on his face, but rather a look of nervousness and even solemnity.

He hurriedly asked, "Did Xiong Tingbi fight with Wild Boar Skin?"

This was something Zhu Youxiao had repeatedly warned Xiong Tingbi not to do before he left.

The reason was simple: Zhu Youxiao did not need Xiong Tingbi to win any battles in Liaodong. One or two local victories would not be enough to completely reverse the situation in Liaodong; and a failure in a battle would lead to the collapse of the situation in Liaodong.

For Zhu Youxiao, solving the problem of Liaodong meant solving it from the root. At the very least, he had to reverse the offensive and defensive situation in Liaodong in one fell swoop, completely seize the initiative in Liaodong, and enable the Ming army to advance westward in Liaodong.

This is what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do. Winning a local battle is not important at all.

Now that Xiong Tingbi had won, Zhu Youxiao became even more worried. As the saying goes, "arrogance leads to a fall." Liaodong hadn't won a single battle in years, and had been losing battles constantly. Ever since the Battle of Sarhu, Liaodong had been on the defensive.

However, Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that there were many people in Liaodong and the court who wanted to restart the war.

There are even more people who support the war and the recovery of Liaoning. They may not be thinking about the country, but may be motivated by various personal interests.

Xiong Tingbi's victory in this battle would probably arouse the desire of these people to start a war, which would cause disputes in the court. These people shouted to attack Liaodong, and the emperor himself could not suppress them.

If he suppressed it, he would appear weak and incompetent, and would also make people think he was an emperor without strategy. More importantly, it would hurt the hearts of truly positive people, which was absolutely unacceptable.

But in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, if they supported going to war, they were not prepared at all.

Han Yu and the others were all veterans, naturally masters of reading people's expressions. They had originally thought His Majesty would be delighted upon hearing this news, but they hadn't expected His Majesty's expression to be so solemn. What was going on here that they didn't know?

That shouldn't be the case! Xiong Tingbi was promoted by His Majesty. Since Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong has been very stable. Apart from the extra money His Majesty gave him, nothing has happened. This has made the ministers in the court almost forget about Liaodong.

With the war in the southwest and the events in Shandong, everyone's attention was no longer focused on Liaodong. However, this did not mean that everyone was not concerned about Liaodong. After all, the Battle of Sarhu was the biggest defeat of the Ming army since the Battle of Tumu, which was unacceptable to the proud Ming court.

Now that Xiong Tingbi has won, it proves the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and also indirectly proves your Majesty's ability to judge people. How could your Majesty not be happy?

Han Yu could only bite the bullet and say, "When Wild Boar Skin attacked Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi ordered the cannons on the city walls to fire, directly defeating Wild Boar Skin. He then led his men out of the city to pursue and kill Wild Boar Skin, and they were completely defeated."
