Of course, they only think so on the surface. They won’t say what they actually think in their hearts, and they won’t even think about it.
Because if you think that way, it would be a dereliction of duty as a minister.
Anyway, they felt that if Prince Fu died out one day, it would not be a surprise at all.
After all, there were so many princes in the Ming Dynasty who committed suicide every day and had no sons or no one to inherit the throne. It was not the first or second time that the emperor had to reluctantly deprive them of the throne.
Of course, this is a matter of the future, who can say for sure?
Not to mention that it didn't happen, even if it really happened, they would only write some memorials to praise His Majesty, and then comfort His Majesty and tell him not to be too sad.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at a few people and felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. It was really not appropriate to say anything else.
Zhu Youxiao then said, "Now that the matter has been decided, my dear ministers, please go back and get to work. We must do it well and stand up for the people of Henan. Don't let them suffer any more losses. They are all my people. I will feel bad if they suffer even the slightest loss."
Several people quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured. We will handle this matter perfectly and there will be absolutely no mistakes. The officials of all ranks in Henan will also be assigned as soon as possible."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile, "Then do it as soon as possible."
In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew exactly what his cabinet ministers were thinking.
This time, all the official positions, big and small, in Henan will definitely be divided among them. Maybe they will collude with each other and come up with some other things, or even compete among themselves.
However, Zhu Youxiao understood that there would not be any real factional disputes or fights between them, as they knew their bottom line.
This was a good situation for Zhu Youxiao.
As for the competition between them, Zhu Youxiao was not going to interfere. He just wanted to be a good referee. If he left the field, it would be more troublesome.
After a few people left, Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Today, I finally find some of the feeling of being an emperor.
Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province.
I don’t know if it’s because winter is approaching, but the weather suddenly got colder.
It rained a little yesterday, making the weather even colder. The saying "an autumn rain brings a chill" is exactly what is meant by this time of year.
Chen Sihai sat inside the house, eating hot pot and drinking wine.
Accompanying him was Xu Xianchun, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. The two of them got along pretty well. After all, there was no conflict of interest between them at the moment, and they worked together happily, with a bit of mutual respect.
Of course, it's just in my heart, and it's not so obvious on the surface.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Xu Xianchun looked at Chen Sihai and said slowly: "Sir, what do you think the answer from the capital will be?"
Now both of them are concerned about this issue.
After all, they have done so much in Henan and really don't want to fail.
Now Xu Xianchun is not only ruthless, but also wants to do something big.
"We can't guess the emperor's will, so we just have to wait patiently." Chen Sihai said after thinking for a while.
In fact, Chen Sihai was worried about his teacher.
The matter had become so serious that the Ministry of Public Security was likely to become the target of public criticism. Although the capital had not yet responded, he felt that the answer was already very clear.
Xu Xianchun nodded, hoping the matter would get out of hand. He felt he would be promoted upon his return and would replace Luo Sigong, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.
Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun felt a little excited.
While the two were drinking, someone suddenly walked in from outside.
This person came to Chen Sihai and the other man and said respectfully, "Sir, people have arrived from the capital. The Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet have sent people here, as well as people from the Six Ministries and the Imperial Clan Court. They have already arrived at the front hall and are waiting for you two sirs."
After hearing the report from their subordinates, Chen Sihai and Xu Xianchun were both stunned. Then they looked at each other and stood up with some excitement.
They all know what such personnel means.
The people sent by the cabinet and the six ministries were probably here for the officials of Henan Province, big and small. If there was a big move in Henan, Henan couldn't be in chaos, and someone would be needed to take over, so they came.
As for the people from the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Clan Affairs, they should be coming for Prince Fu.
Chen Sihai and the other man did not dare to delay and walked quickly to the front, and soon saw a group of people.
The leader was Qu Dalun, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. It was obvious that this time the court planned to let him finish the trial of the case in Henan and did not plan to bring it to the capital.
However, when they saw Qu Dalun, both Chen Sihai and Xu Xianchun had strange expressions on their faces.
This Qu Dalun is very famous, and no one expected that he would be valued.
It’s not that this person lacks talent. One of the main reasons why Qu Dalun has not been valued until now is because of his personality.
There is another reason, because Qu Dalun is Hai Rui's best friend and half student.
After passing the imperial examination, Qu Dalun went to study at the Imperial College in Nanjing with his brother Qu Daxiang. At that time, Hai Rui was in charge of the Imperial College and had a great reputation. Dalun had a close relationship with him.
In the year of the Jichou year of the Wanli reign, he passed the imperial examination and was appointed magistrate of Dongming County, Shandong Province. Qu Dalun loved his people like his own children, encouraging farmers to work diligently and practice courtesy. He redeemed the children of those forced to sell their children due to famine, and used the remaining proceeds from tax deeds to buy hundreds of oxen for those in need.
