Unexpectedly... Lu Xiangqing was the first to step down.
It seems that now only Xu Mujun can take his place.
Xu Mujun turned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, as for the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet, please select someone else."
"Oh? Why?"
Zheng Yi was somewhat surprised, this is the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet, second only to the emperor.
Did Xu Mujun give it up so easily?
Xu Mujun said, "Your Majesty, I am only skilled in military affairs, and am not versed in political matters."
"Now that the rebellion in the south has been quelled and Wu Country to the north has ceased hostilities, it is naturally a time to put the horses back in South Mountain and practice benevolence and righteousness."
"It would not be appropriate for me to assume the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet."
"Put the horses back in South Mountain? Practice benevolence and righteousness?"
Zheng Yi murmured, but did not express agreement or disagreement.
