Such a person who is respected and trusted by Your Majesty was not able to compete with Xu Guangqi this time. This shows Your Majesty's trust and respect for Xu Guangqi.
Especially since His Majesty also gave Xu Guangqi the position of Minister of Revenue, this is even more important.
This time, the court not only overthrew two ministers, but also overthrew the two government offices along with their subordinates. It can be said that it was a major reshuffle.
Under such circumstances, the two newly appointed Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong are very telling. They are both people whom His Majesty trusts very much.
In addition to these two people, there is also the Minister of Punishment Huang Kezun. Although this person does not seem to be special, it is very special to be able to take the position at this time, especially since he actually entered the cabinet as the Minister of Punishment.
In the jargon, Han Yu's position is very unstable, and these people may come up and kick him at any time.
Forbidden City, Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Youxiao leaned lazily on the couch with no expression on his face.
Glancing at Chen Hong standing next to him, Zhu Youxiao said, "Has Liu Yijing left already? I heard many people went to see him off."
"Your Majesty, many people did go to see them off," Chen Hong said quickly, bowing.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, not caring much about it.
These are some of the broken rules in officialdom, and there is no way around it.
Even if he issued an imperial decree not to send anyone to escort Liu Yijing, there would definitely still be a lot of people going. The rules of the officialdom were more important than the imperial decree of himself.
"Then let's order all the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter!" Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly.
Everything has been almost done. What remains is the conviction of those people. Now that they have been arrested, Zhu Youxiao is no longer in a hurry, so he can finish the important tasks first and take his time with the rest.
As for one thing that has not been completed, that is, there are still two people who have not been taken away.
The two people were the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong.
From now on, the Donglin Party in the court could only be led by one person, Sun Chengzong. No one else could lead it.
As for Sun Chengzong, if the person he chose could satisfy him, then he would use him; if not, then he would not use him.
Actually, if I want to completely eliminate the Donglin Party, it is impossible. Unless I destroy them physically and slaughter them completely, there is no other way.
Especially at this stage, choosing a suitable person to manage them is the best option.
As long as the person they chose is still around, they won't make trouble; if they have other ideas, they will completely defeat the person they chose.
So the remaining two people, Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong, cannot be kept, but we still need to stabilize the situation first and then get rid of them.
The most important thing now is stability. After all, so many people have left the cabinet and we cannot delay important matters.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll go right away." Chen Hong didn't dare to delay, and quickly agreed, then bowed and retreated.
After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao stood up from the couch, walked to the door of the hall, and stretched gently.
He felt somewhat relieved. After traveling for such a long time, he finally felt relieved.
Although not everyone in the court listens to him now, at least they can do their job.
If I assign something to them, they will be able to get it done. They will not be just concerned with fighting for power and excluding dissidents like before, and generally they will be able to tolerate others.
Even if they are unable to accommodate others, they can balance it through other means.
In other words, as the emperor, he finally had room to maneuver and could stop feeling so constrained.
The cabinet naturally received the news quickly, and the four newly appointed cabinet ministers quickly came to the Qianqing Palace.
In fact, the four cabinet ministers were not very familiar with each other. The ones who had more contact should be Han Yu and Sun Chengzong, and the other two were less familiar with each other.
Especially Xu Guangqi, he was not familiar with these three people; Huang Kexun was similar, which made the situation a little delicate.
Han Yu and Sun Chengzong were naturally closer because they had many similar positions and were both from the Donglin Party.
Xu Guangqi seemed to be a little weak. Huang Kezun could have helped him, but this man was well-known for not forming cliques, so Huang Kezun would not stand with Xu Guangqi.
The four people seemed very harmonious and came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity together, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, we are here to pay our respects." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, the four people all bowed.
Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly, "Please excuse the formalities!" He straightened up and said, "I have summoned you, my dear ministers, today because I have something to discuss with you."
