Even if Xu Huizu maintained impartiality, human nature is complex, and who knows what kind of rumors might spread? If that happens, it will damage the court's reputation.
Zhu Yunying seemed somewhat slow to realize his mistake, and nodded slowly, saying, "This matter is indeed inappropriate; it was my oversight. Let the Duke of Kaiping and the Duke of Cao handle this matter. What do you all think?"
Then there's not much of a problem. Chang Mao didn't have much influence in the military to begin with, and most of the generals under his command are now in the Northwest. Even if some have gone to Goryeo, it's not good to show too much favoritism, because the various factions within the Ming Dynasty are intertwined, and the emperor will inevitably have to include some of them.
As for Duke Cao, Li Jinglong, his status is even more special, making him a major figure in the military. However, his status as a relative of the empress and a member of the imperial clan gives him a detached and independent stance. Even the Xu and Chang factions wouldn't provoke him, let alone the Fu faction, who would be more polite by not trying to befriend him.
Since the emperor readily accepted good advice, everyone was naturally happy. Although Emperor Ying Shi was often autocratic and stubborn, he was also good at accepting advice most of the time.
This is a quality a good emperor should possess, and Emperor Ying Shi mostly displayed the qualities of a wise ruler.
Even emperors need to admit their mistakes and correct them; not every decision an emperor makes is wise and insightful. Timely correction is not a bad thing, nor will it undermine the emperor's authority.
Zhu Yunying looked at the young Zhu and slowly asked, "Crown Prince, do not remain silent in court. What do you think of my previous decision?"
Um?
It's my turn to make my appearance!
