The emperor has been on the throne for eight years. After spending such a long time with his ministers, the ministers in the court are not happy at all.

Therefore, whether it was the emperor or his ministers, they all knew each other well enough. Everyone knew the current emperor's temper.

As long as His Majesty raises something, and you have constructive suggestions and take the initiative to get things done, then your contribution will not be small and His Majesty will not be stingy with your rewards.

This has been proven countless times, the most typical example being Cui Chengxiu.

In the eyes of the court officials, Cui Chengxiu was an unlearned man with no ability at all. However, because His Majesty valued him, Cui Chengxiu was always promoted.

When Cui Chengxiu was carrying out the reform of the academy a few years ago, he took great pains to do so. There were many dirty things that happened, and everyone knows about it.

But even so, after the academy reform was successful, His Majesty still gave Cui Chengxiu a very generous reward.

After Zhu Tongmeng was transferred, Cui Chengxiu successfully became the head of the Censorate and is now the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

There are already people outside calling for Cui Chengxiu to join the cabinet. Although I don't know who came up with it, it is still said, and I don't know when His Majesty will let him join the cabinet.

In such a situation, who wouldn’t want to get things done?

Everyone wants to be like Cui Chengxiu, especially people like Yuan Yingtai. When he was in Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai was replaced even though he did not make any mistakes.

The person who replaced him was Xiong Tingbi.

During his years in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi not only stabilized the situation in Liaodong, but also made many military achievements and even killed Nurhaci with a cannon.

Under such circumstances, everyone can see why His Majesty reused Xiong Tingbi. Then Yuan Yongtai's situation is even more embarrassing. His Majesty does not trust him or his ability.

The better Xiong Tingbi did, the more embarrassed Yuan Yingtai would be. If Xiong Tingbi did not do well, Yuan Yingtai would also gain some benefits.

However, the benefits are limited. After all, if Xiong Tingbi does not do a good job, it will prove that Your Majesty does not know how to judge people.

Just like when Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng, if he had won that battle, Tian Feng could still survive; if Yuan Shao had lost that battle, Tian Feng would have had no way out.

Everyone originally thought that Yuan Yingtai would have the same fate. Since the situation in Liaodong was so good, His Majesty would throw him aside and never use him again.

But no one expected that His Majesty would re-employ Yuan Yingtai and give him an important task. It's just that Yuan Yingtai never managed to hold on to his position.

Obviously this is an opportunity. If Yuan Yingtai can do things well, his position will be secure.

Those who were eyeing his position were somewhat unhappy. After all, there were only a few seats in the imperial court, and if you took one, there would be no one for me.

In addition, the current emperor does not like to mess with the court. Since the last large-scale dismissal of officials, the official positions in the court have not changed, and the cabinet is still made up of the same few people.

Although Cui Jingrong was added, Sun Chengzong was also transferred to the General Staff Office. The stability of the court's top leadership can ensure the continuity of policy. This is a benefit.

The disadvantage is that the people below have no way to get promoted, and some people can't wait any longer, so some of them can't even be suppressed in the court.

This time, Yuan Yingtai stepped forward and some people couldn't stand it anymore.

Yuan Yingtai was very clear about his situation. He knew exactly what kind of situation he was in and that if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Yingtai dared not make any mistakes. The key was to make achievements, otherwise he would not be able to keep his position well.

Now that Yuan Yingtai finally has such an opportunity, how could he let it go?

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will come up with a charter after I return." Yuan Yingtai quickly agreed.

Since it is a good opportunity, we must do things well, otherwise problems will easily arise.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuan Yingtai, nodded, and said, "That's very good."

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about this matter, let's talk about the next thing." Zhu Youxiao directly changed the subject.

The ministers below were somewhat stunned. Was this matter already decided? Wasn't this a little too fast?

But even so, they knew there was nothing they could do; what His Majesty had decided was decided.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "Peace has long reigned supreme. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Since I ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has prospered, the treasury is well-supplied, and the nation is at peace and the people are safe. This is all thanks to the dedication of all of you, my dear ministers."

Zhu Youxiao was quite experienced in boasting about himself. He could now do it without blushing or getting nervous, and his attitude and words were sincere.

To put it bluntly, when you praise yourself, you can move yourself. So when Zhu Youxiao said this, his tone was vivid and his emotions were sincere.

When the people below heard these words, expressions of emotion and admiration appeared on their faces.

His Majesty is good at everything, and this self-promotion is unchangeable. Of course, His Majesty is also worthy of such achievements.

You know, among the people, Your Majesty has a very good reputation, and all kinds of words are praising Your Majesty.

Many people have praised the Ming Dynasty as a revival and a prosperous era, and Zhu Youxiao is naturally the wise leader of the revival.

At this point, Zhu Youxiao changed the subject and said directly, "With such a prosperous event, I intend to go to Nanjing and return to Fengyang to worship my ancestors. I wonder if you, my dear ministers, have any opinions?"

After these words were spoken, everyone's faces looked unhappy.
