Zhu Cilang's expression was not very good. He also suppressed his anger and did not get angry. The reason was very simple. The second assistant to the cabinet, Li Banghua, the Minister of Rites, recommended Huang Daozhou, who was unemployed at home, and was unanimously supported by the cabinet. When Zhu Cilang did not clearly object, the cabinet issued an imperial edict to Huang Daozhou. Huang Daozhou had arrived in Nanjing and was about to come to the palace tomorrow.

Zhu Cilang has not seriously considered what official he has been granted to Huang Daozhou, but one thing is clear: Huang Daozhou must never go to a very critical position, and he cannot even enter the Sixth Ministry and the Supervision Bureau.

Huang Daozhou was a famous person in the late Ming Dynasty. He was famous, knowledgeable and strong in character. Zhu Cilang, who traveled through time, was very clear about this point, but Zhu Cilang was even more clear about it. Huang Daozhou was a typical clear-flowing official. It didn’t matter if he was an official in peacetime. He could lead the party and even set an example for the court, but being an official in times of chaos would be a mess.

Huang Daozhou and Fan Jingwen are quite similar. They don’t know how to adapt at critical moments. They do everything they are righteous and honest. They have to show off their righteous and honest side. They can’t stand the secret activities. Sometimes, they would rather be broken than to be completely covered, but they do not know that it is definitely not possible to govern the country. If the entire country is destroyed, there is still nothing flawless? Perhaps for the ministers, they would rather die than surrender and leave a reputation for eternity, but for the emperor, it would be defeated to the eighteen levels of hell.

Zhu Cilang will never allow it to beautify his personal reputation at the cost of the demise of the country.

However, the cabinet's evaluation of Huang Daozhou was very high. Zhu Youjian, the chief minister of the cabinet, also praised Huang Daozhou, believing that Huang Daozhou would definitely become a pillar of the court, which made Zhu Cilang very disgusted.

In history, Huang Daozhou cooperated very well with the Tang King Zhu Youjian. During the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and became the emperor. Huang Daozhou served as the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, and the Minister of Personnel was also the Minister of War. He could be said to have mastered most of the power in the court, and was stronger than the chief minister of the cabinet. Unfortunately, the army was in the hands of Fujian General Zheng Zhilong. No matter how big the Huang Daozhou was, he could do nothing.

It was not that Zhu Ciyang didn't want to use Huang Daozhou. The time was not yet ripe. When the south stabilized, when the imperial army formed a stalemate with the Eight Banners Army and the hope of completely defeating the Eight Banners Army appeared, it was not impossible for Huang Daozhou to enter the court to become an official. Of course, Zhu Ciyang's arrangements for Huang Daozhou were more of an example, just like the clean official Hai Rui.

But the cabinet did not understand Zhu Cilang's thoughts and recommended Huang Daozhou at the critical moment.

As the emperor, Zhu Cilang could not object, nor could he object. Huang Daozhou had a great influence. If he was not allowed to come to Nanjing, he would not be allowed to enter the court as an official. Not to mention the officials in the court, the cabinet would have to question it. Zhu Cilang would not be able to explain it at that time.

When Cao Huachun entered the greenhouse, Zhu Cilang waved and signaled Cao Huachun to sit down and talk.

Seeing that Zhu Cilang didn't speak, Cao Huachun coughed.

"I pay homage to the emperor..."

Zhu Cilang raised his head and looked at Cao Huachun and spoke helplessly.

"Mr. Cao, I have said it long ago, unless it is morning court, you don't need to salute me when you see me."

Cao Huachun blinked and spoke.

"I came to talk to the emperor when he saw that he was in a bad mood."

Zhu Cilang looked at Cao Huachun, sighed, and spoke directly.

"Mr. Cao, what do you think of Huang Daozhou as a man?"

Cao Huachun shook his head gently.

"Is the emperor thinking about listening to the truth of my servant..."

Before Cao Huachun finished speaking, he saw Zhu Cilang's face and quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have come into contact with Lord Huang Zhou, and my impression of Lord Huang is generalized. I remember it very clearly. The old emperor has used Lord Huang several times, and he has been helpless in his official position several times. I think what is strange is that the old emperor has just been the official position of Lord Huang, and Lord Huang's reputation is getting bigger and bigger."

Zhu Cilang snorted softly.

"Mr. Cao, do you think I have the same idea as my father? Needless to say, I know all these nonsense. I am asking you how Huang Daozhou is, and you just say it directly."

Cao Huachun nodded.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I think that Lord Huang is knowledgeable and honest in his official position. This is worthy of recognition. However, Lord Huang is too stubborn and cannot even take back what he believes, and even if Lord Huang doesn't like, he will definitely say it out. Regardless of the situation at that time, I think it's not good to do this."

Zhu Cilang looked at Cao Huachun and spoke until Cao Huachun lowered his head.

"Mr. Cao, you and Jizhou are my support. Because of this, I have very strict requirements on Zhizhong and Jizhou. I am worried that they will do some bad things secretly under my banner. It will ruin my reputation. It will delay the big things in the court and make the situation difficult to deal with. That is a big thing. Sometimes, I also feel that Zhizhong and Jizhou are too harsh. Let them do anything carefully. Seeing that I cannot be soft-hearted, a few days ago, Zhizhong advised me not to work too hard. I am very sad. I also want to rest, but I cannot rest. I open my eyes in the morning and think about things in the north. At night, I think about things in the south. When I dream, I think about things in the court."

"I have worked harder, Zhizhong, and Zhou and you have worked harder, in exchange for the revitalization of the court. Whenever I think of this, I feel that everything is worth it."

When Zhu Cilang said this, Cao Huachun knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, and I cannot understand the emperor's good intentions."

Zhu Cilang sighed heavily, went forward to help Cao Huachun up, and watched Cao Huachun sit down.

"Mr. Cao, what I just said was heartfelt. In fact, the court was unstable. I showed a little more rigid. The cabinet and the civil and military ministers retreated in great strides. I did whatever I said. I was a little more casual. The cabinet and civil and military ministers should be more casual. Some of the statements I put forward made me laugh and cry."

"I am very dissatisfied with the Cabinet's recommendation of Huang Daozhou."

"Huang Daozhou is a great scholar. Don't I know? Do I need a cabinet to remind you? I have repeatedly said that employing people is the key. The court is in an extraordinary period and needs to take extraordinary measures to do a lot of things. I advocate etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness. But does Li Zicheng listen to this? Did Dorgon listen to this? Can I ask them with etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

"The cabinet has not yet understood my way of employing people. The times are different, so the methods of employing people are naturally different. I want to say it clearly that my father failed in employing people, which led to the fall of the capital."

"The cabinet cannot be consistent with my ideas in this regard, so there are too many things I need to worry about."

"During this period, there are more than 100 officials in the court who came from the capital to Nanjing. These people have to inquire about the affairs of the court every day, and think about what I can do every day. I can only ask the Ministry of Personnel to conduct a school entrance examination for them. I do this, in fact, I have to let them go for a while. These people surrender to the Dashun court. I don't care. That was their helpless move to save their lives. What I think is that Li Zicheng failed to be defeated by the Eight Banners Army. When he fled from the capital, why didn't these people escape with Li Zicheng? Do they think it's so easy to change their masters?"

"The cabinet recommended Huang Daozhou. I think it has a great relationship with these people. They just want to see how I treat Huang Daozhou. They think Huang Daozhou has a great influence. I am afraid that I will respect Huang Daozhou. At that time, Huang Daozhou will submit a memorial and ask me to grant these people an official title. I will definitely agree."

"Mr. Cao, you should know these things. You are the person trusted by the late emperor and the person I rely on. Do you also think that I need to consider these people?"

Cao Huachun's face turned pale, he stood up and was about to kneel down again, but was pulled by Zhu Cilang.

"Mr. Cao, I'll just say anything I have. Do you have any worries?"

The fearful and terrified Cao Huachun finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide it. I really think about these officials from the capital. I think that these people have the ability to take charge of the government and become officials in the court, and can help the emperor do something. I really have no other ideas."

Zhu Cilang nodded.

"No wonder, Lord Cao, you just thought of one aspect that allows me to win people's hearts. This idea is not wrong, but in the future, I must let me know that I don't want to use these people. Huguang and Henan lack a large number of officials. These people know how to do things. When the time is right, it is okay to be an official in the local area, not just now."

"What I hate most is that I am kidnapped. My father encountered too much such a thing. The ministers in the court were angry. My father had to retreat. The law did not blame the public. In doing so, he lost his own opinion and lost the right direction, and many things were delayed, such as the imposition of commercial taxes."

"At the critical moment, I must insist on my own opinion. Even if the civil and military ministers in the court stand up and oppose it, if someone threatens to resign, I will help him. Even if the officials in the court are almost gone, I will not be afraid."

"I hope someone can understand this."

Cao Huachun was moved and bowed to Zhu Cilang.

"Your Majesty, I understand, I know what to do."

Zhu Cilang nodded and looked at Cao Huachun.

"When the father passed away, Wang Chengen followed his father. He saw loyalty in times of distress. Li Zicheng captured the palace and the civil and military ministers were gone, Wang Chengen was still with his father. No matter what Wang Chengen was, or what shameful things Wang Chengen did, I think that Wang Chengen's move was enough to show his loyalty. Those officials from the capital, think about Wang Chengen, think about Fan Jingwen and others, don't they feel ashamed..."
