The people present had been with Zhu Youxiao for some time, and they knew very well that His Majesty's actions were never so simple, and that some seemingly absurd things always had unknown secrets hidden behind them.
They may not understand once or twice, but if you do it over and over again, how can they not understand?
After all, they have been together for such a long time, and this has happened more than once or twice. Obviously, His Majesty is not simply going to worship the ancestors this time, there must be other things to do.
Several cabinet ministers looked at each other and saw the caution in each other's eyes.
If Your Majesty wants to worship your ancestors, he must go to Fengyang or Nanjing, but they think that Your Majesty should go to Shandong and Henan, the places where the earthquakes occurred.
Although I don’t know why I had such an idea, once it came out, I couldn’t hide it.
For example, Sun Chengzong thought this way in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Chengzong said, "Your Majesty is not in good health. Why not wait until you are better before going? Otherwise, I am worried about the fatigue of the journey."
Seeing Sun Chengzong's concerned look, the other people also reacted.
Xu Guangqi said directly: "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Sun said is right. There is no rush to go to worship the ancestors. It is better to recover your health before going."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the others, nodded slowly and said, "My dear minister, what you said makes sense. It was I who was reckless."
"Then I'll wait until I'm well again before setting off. But you should also prepare in advance to avoid being in a rush when the time comes."
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao continued to lean on the couch with a sullen look on his face. The meaning was clear: I have finished talking about the matter and I don't want to bother with you now. You can go away.
Han Yu and the others looked at each other and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Then we will take our leave." Several people said.
Although they were a little hesitant, since it had come to this point, there was nothing more to say, so they turned around and walked out.
After leaving the palace, several people looked at each other, feeling a little awkward, but no one spoke.
Han Yu and his companions were all experienced people, so there was no need to say too much about some things. They could understand each other's meaning just by looking at each other.
Clearly, everyone felt as though they had been tricked by His Majesty this time. What had originally been a question of whether to go or not had now become a question of when to go.
The decision to go was made without any discussion about the previous issue. As for when to go, the decision was given to Your Majesty and we have to wait until Your Majesty is well.
I guess Your Majesty is almost recovered.
Although they didn't understand the details, they weren't fools. His Majesty seemed to have a habit of feigning illness. Although no one would say it out loud, they all guessed it in their hearts and knew they had been tricked.
But you can't tell it to a few people. Just understand it in your heart. It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
"Make good arrangements." Han Yu looked at the others and said slowly, "Since His Majesty is planning a southern tour, we are powerless to stop him. So let's get things done and prepare the document as soon as possible."
"If Your Majesty leaves the capital, how many people will accompany him and who will stay behind to guard the capital? We have all these prepared."
After hearing this, several people nodded quickly.
Xu Guangqi said, "As the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Mr. Han will naturally stay in the capital, but we also need someone to accompany His Majesty. Let's discuss the selection after we return."
After Xu Guangqi finished speaking, his eyes swept across the faces of several people. The meaning was obvious: Han Yu had no chance. Let's study it together.
Han Yu didn't say anything about Xu Guangqi's words.
The reason was simple, because what Xu Guangqi said made sense, he really didn't have this opportunity. The cabinet's chief minister naturally had to stay in the capital, and there was no room for negotiation.
However, the emperor is not in the capital, so if he were to make the decision, it would naturally show his respect for him.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Han Yu said with a smile.
Naturally, the fact that His Majesty was going to offer ancestor worship could not be concealed, and the news soon spread.
This is also what Zhu Youxiao meant. Of course, we should not leave now, but wait for some days.
After this news came out, Han Li instantly became the target of public criticism. How could this demon Taoist die if he didn't cause trouble for a day?
So countless memorials were brought into the palace, all of which were impeaching Han Li, and they seemed determined not to stop until he was killed.
Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at this. How could Han Li deal with it?
For such a master, I must keep him and there is no way I can let him go, but I still have to give him the reward he deserves.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said to Chen Hong, "Take all these test papers away."
"Have the Imperial Household Department draft an imperial decree, awarding Master Han a purple robe and jade belt, as well as a seal each of gold, jade, silver, and ivory, with the inscription "Jing Miao Miao Ji Shou Jing Xiu Zhen Ning Yuan Yan Fan Zhi Mo Bing Cheng Zhi Yi Master." Select a residence in the capital and build a Master's residence there."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell them to do it right away."
"Okay, go ahead!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
To favor Han Li, one must act like one, and give what is due. Of course, this is only superficial, and even if one gives it now, it will not reach Han Li's hands.
For example, even if the mansion was built, he had no way to live in it, after all, he had to stay in the palace to accompany the king.
Although this incident caused a lot of uproar, another matter in the capital was also attracting a lot of attention, that was the announcement of the imperial examination results.
