Since Huang Kexun's death, people began to die continuously in the Ming Dynasty court, which was exactly the same as Zhu Youxiao's idea.
In the past six months, seven or eight old ministers have died, and these are all well-known figures.
A few days ago, Li Zhizao fell seriously ill. Zhu Youxiao thought he could survive the winter, but who would have thought that he would not make it after all? After the Little New Year, the New Year was about to begin, and he was gone.
As Xu Guangqi's confidant, Li Zhizao was not much older than Xu Guangqi. In the past two years, Xu Guangqi's health was not very good, and Zhu Youxiao was also helpless.
Although he wanted to keep these people, he couldn't.
"Let's do what we have to do." Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and said with a helpless tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao agreed quickly.
As a eunuch serving beside Zhu Youxiao, Wei Chao also knew that the emperor was in a bad mood. In the past six months, there have been many ministers dying. It would be strange if the emperor could be in a good mood.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is one of the few good news."
With the completion of the land inventory, Chen Hong and Wei Zhongxian also began to return. Although things have always had twists and turns, there have been setbacks, but now it has finally been successfully completed, which makes Zhu Youxiao very pleased.
"Tell Chen Hong not to be too anxious, safety first." Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and then instructed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao quickly agreed, "I'll send someone to deliver the message to Eunuch Chen later."
The two of them walked and chatted, and eventually arrived at Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhang had also received the news long ago and brought people out to welcome Zhu Youxiao.
"Don't go out when it's freezing cold." Zhu Youxiao took Empress Zhang's hand and said, "Go in quickly. It would be bad if you catch a cold in this weather. Let's talk inside."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Zhang agreed and let Zhu Youxiao lead her with a smile.
The couple walked into Kunning Palace together.
