From the imperial court to the local governments, officials were all selected through legitimate channels. The change in appointments to royal family members opened the door to luck, and the strong opposition from existing civil servants was foreseeable and had already happened.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that replacing the royal family with officials might be a solution, but it was definitely not a good solution. Because lowering the standards of the royal family members who were granted official positions, coupled with their arrogance, might make the administration of officials worse.
Regardless of the effect, Zhu Youxiao had to give it a try. After strengthening the supervision of officials and improving the system, he would see if there were any talented people among the royal family, such as Zhu Youjian, who could be cultivated.

"I obey your order." Zhu Youjian stood up, bowed, and left.
Zhu Youxiao felt that the ministers he had summoned were sufficient. It was New Year's Day, so there was no need to call them all in as a token of his favor. Just as the song and dance paused, he raised the second cup of wine from the Spring Festival banquet to the ministers.
