So if you go to protect the old ones, how do you know you won't offend these two new bosses? Unless they are magnets, who would care about them?
But how many magnets are there in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty?
So the four of them didn't bother to argue or think about it, and they reached a consensus directly.
Xu Guangqi took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the punishment will be in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Guangqi's meaning was very clear: severe punishment, no room for negotiation.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with Xu Guangqi.
This is what we call our own people. They dare to step forward and speak up at critical moments.
It was just because these people had nothing to do with Xu Guangqi, so there was no need for him to protect them. It would be beneficial for him, the emperor, to agree with them.
After Xu Guangqi, the second-in-command of the cabinet, finished speaking, it was now the turn of Sun Chengzong and Huang Kezun to express their opinions.
Huang Kezun was behind Sun Chengzong, and his ranking was not as high as Sun Chengzong, so at this time he took a step forward, stood up, and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Xu said makes sense."
Then it was Sun Chengzong's turn.
Sun Chengzong also said directly: "I have no opinion."
Of the four cabinet ministers, three had already agreed, leaving only Han Yu. Although Han Yu was the chief minister of the cabinet, he would not stand up and oppose it at this time.
Then Han Yu also said, "I second the proposal."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way."
"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say? If not, let's stop here today." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
Zhu Youxiao was quite satisfied with the outcome of today's meeting. This was much better than the faces he had seen before.
"We will take our leave." Several people bowed hurriedly and then walked out together.
Zhu Youxiao looked at their backs with a smile on his face. He turned to look at Chen Hong and said, "Have the Jinyiwei's lectures stopped? Let them continue to manipulate them these days. Don't stop. What should we do?"
Chen Hong quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away."
After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch with a smile on his face.
Today, I can finally do some serious work. However, there is still one thing I need to do, and that is to correct the atmosphere.
The so-called positive atmosphere is actually about unifying thoughts.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao felt that he should use one person and find some things for some people to do, otherwise these people would not be honest and might cause trouble.
Although there were not many people participating in this meeting, the news could not be concealed.
The news soon spread throughout the officialdom of the capital.
As expected, no one cared about what to do with Cui Jingrong and Wang Ji, and even less about the rest of the people.
Everyone is concerned about one thing, which is how to enter the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.
Although a group of people had died before, everyone felt that they would not do that, so there was nothing to worry about.
The most important thing is that in officialdom, from the ninth rank to the first rank, which official hat is not coveted by countless people?
Now that there are so many opportunities and such a good position, it's natural to give it a try. So many people are interested.
For a while, the residences of several cabinet ministers were crowded with people. People who came to pay homage lined up from the beginning to the end of the street, and some people even threw letters into the residences. All kinds of activities were carried out.
At the same time, all former classmates and even students came over, forming a huge crowd.
The current situation has made Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and others feel a little annoyed, but these things still need to be done and the candidates must be prepared as soon as possible.
The entire capital city was bustling with activity, but there was also a deserted place, which was the residence of the Minister of Rites, Sun Shenxing.
Gao Panlong was sitting in Sun Shenxing's house at this time, and his face was not very good.
This time the Donglin Party suffered a crushing defeat, gaining nothing from the beginning to the end. A number of people were arrested, and some were even beheaded, leaving them in a state of disgrace.
In addition, the power of the Donglin Party was greatly weakened, making them even weaker. When the new cabinet minister came out, the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing was not among them, which was very embarrassing.
"What should we do next?" Gao Panlong said hesitantly.
Sun Shenxing drank his tea, shook his head bitterly, and said helplessly, "Then we also need to have a future. Things have come to this point, and it's difficult for both of us to handle it."
"Go to Sun Chengzong's house and see if you can get him to transfer you to the Ministry of War."
Listening to Sun Shenxing's words, Gao Panlong frowned and said helplessly, "Has it come to this?"
Sun Shenxing waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "It's better to be prepared. It never hurts to be prepared."
