There are no major changes in the Ministry of Rites for the time being. Firstly, it is not very important, and secondly, the emperor has to come one by one and has not made time yet!
Taking advantage of the Korean envoys' visit to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao pretended not to know and let them go through the normal procedures. At the same time, he ordered Wei Daye's East Factory to send people to closely monitor them.
In Wei Da Ye's secret report, Zhu Youxiao saw the true face of these officials. Well, they were completely shameless and brought disgrace to the Celestial Empire.
"...When asking for silver or ginseng, one is called rongqian, and the other is called xiqian. rong means to introduce the plan; xi means to announce the good news of the completion of the plan..."
"...every day they went to the Huitong Hall to demand 'allowance for the work of drawing a plan,' and threatened that 'officials should send copies of memorials to the emperor, but the allowance is so small that it is difficult to do so easily.' There was no limit to the amount they demanded."
For the sake of money, the bribery was so shameless that Zhu Youxiao felt his face burning and anger rising in his heart.
Zhu Youxiao also wanted to gain benefits from Korea, so he used the request for enthronement as an excuse to ask Korea to agree to conditions so that he could implement a tighter blockade and siege on the Jiannu.

Let’s exile them to the ends of the earth as soon as possible and contribute to the development of Hainan Island, Dongfan, and even new overseas enclaves!
Zhu Youxiao felt that he hadn't done anything wrong this year. Well, cracking down on officials and businessmen was one thing! But this didn't seem to be enough. There were still so many shameless officials under the noses of the capital, which was also his dereliction of duty.
The mediocre and greedy are dismissed and exiled, while the capable and honest are promoted and reused.
Zhu Youxiao's principles are simple and practical. There are so many people who can and want to be officials in this world, there's no shortage of people to take over. Do you really think that without you bastards, the court can't function?
