Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 415: Death of Nurhaci

I have to say it's sad.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao still has new people available, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future.

"Besides these two, who else is there?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.

"And Wang Zai Jin." Chen Hong said cautiously again.

"You really know how to choose people." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Tell the cabinet to let Cui Jingrong be the Minister of War. The cabinet will draft the decree, and the Imperial Household Department will approve it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed, bowed and walked out.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao slowly closed his eyes again.

This matter has come to an end. As for other impacts, he doesn't need to consider them.

What the court needs is stability, not struggle.

Zhu Youxiao discovered that Han Yu seemed uneasy. He had originally thought that Han Yu could stay calm for a while longer, giving him more time. But he didn't expect that he would become uneasy after such a short time.

Did he change so quickly after becoming the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?

You know, when the Donglin Party was destroyed, Han Yu was trembling with fear and treading on thin ice. But how long had it been since then, and he had already developed some messed-up thoughts?

People's hearts are really unreliable. After they gain power, they still want more power.

Leaning back in his chair and sighing, Zhu Youxiao began to think about the candidate for the prime minister of the cabinet.

If Han Yu did this again, he would have no chance of doing his job as the chief minister of the cabinet.

The news spread quickly, and the emperor appointed Cui Jingrong, which did not surprise many people.

Cui Jingrong's qualifications and prestige were there, so he naturally had no problem becoming the Minister of War. The emperor would not be criticized for appointing him, so the transition was relatively peaceful and stable.

After this incident, the court once again became stable.

Autumn will soon be here.

The imperial court began to prepare for the autumn harvest. This year was the first year of large-scale potato cultivation, and the court attached great importance to it and was eagerly awaiting the harvest. This was very important to the imperial court.

Since the beginning of the year, the court has been plagued by disasters. Earthquakes and floods have been frequent in various places, with several major earthquakes occurring, not to mention other minor disasters.

When reports came in from all over the country, there were so many stories about the disaster that it was chilling. There was also a rebellion in Shandong, and people's lives were difficult. At this time, the court also needed food.

Therefore, the whole court was very concerned about the potato harvest. Zhu Youxiao was also very concerned about this, but he did not leave the palace this time, but waited for news in the palace.

"Your Majesty, Minister of War Cui Jingrong requests to see you." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao and said respectfully.

This was something Zhu Youxiao was not expecting.

Ever since Cui Jingrong took office as the Minister of War, two words can be used to describe him: low-key.

This old minister was so low-key that people could hardly see him. He never submitted memorials on weekdays and even asked for leave several times for the morning court. As for the affairs of the Ministry of War, apart from maintaining its stable operation, he basically had no opinions or suggestions, as if he was just putting it there like a tablet.

This was not the first time someone had impeached Cui Jingrong, but Zhu Youxiao said nothing about it. As for the impeachment papers against Cui Jingrong, they were all kept.

Who would have thought that Cui Jingrong would come today? It looks like something big is going to happen.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed and hurriedly helped Zhu Youxiao move forward.

The two of them quickly came to the front, and Zhu Youxiao saw Cui Jingrong.

Seeing him about to bow, Zhu Youxiao quickly said, "Alright, no need to bow. My dear, you are so old now, so please don't bow when you enter the palace in the future."

"Chen Hong, move a stool for Minister Cui." Zhu Youxiao ordered with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed, and quickly walked over to move a chair over, respectfully placing it next to Cui Jingrong, and said with a smile: "Master Cui, please sit down."

After Cui Jingrong sat down, Zhu Youxiao said, "You seem so anxious, my dear, but is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, there's an urgent report from Liaodong!" Cui Jingrong said hurriedly, pulling out a memorial. He then continued, "Xiong Tingbi submitted a memorial stating that Nurhaci has died. This is his memorial."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face was full of disbelief.

Is Nurhaci actually dead?

He just died like that?

That shouldn’t be the case. According to the original historical process, Nurhaci’s death had not yet arrived.

Zhu Youxiao said impatiently, "Hurry up and bring the test paper up!"

Chen Hong did not dare to delay and hurried over, holding the question book in both hands and came to Zhu Youxiao, handing it to him respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao was very anxious at this time, and hurriedly took the question book and quickly flipped through it.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao saw the contents of the question book clearly.

Nurhaci really died. This time, Nurhaci's death had a lot to do with Xiong Tingbi.

In this memorial, Xiong Tingbi wrote in detail how Nurhaci died, how Nurhaci was bombarded with cannons, and how Nurhaci was seriously injured and died.

In addition to the above, another thing is to ask for credit, which is also a matter of course.

Zhu Youxiao excitedly put down the manuscript and laughed, saying, "This is indeed good news! Xiong Tingbi has done a great job in Liaodong and lived up to my trust! Not bad, not bad, very good!"

"Come here! Go and call the cabinet ministers." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
