It didn't take long for Chen Hong to bring Xu Xianchun in.

Obviously, since Chen Hong left, Xu Xianchun came to Zhu Youxiao and waited. For Xu Xianchun, this time he was cheated by himself, and the relationship between him and Chen Hong also fell to the freezing point at this moment.

"Sinner Xu Xianchun, see Your Majesty." After Xu Xianchun saw Zhu Youxiao, he quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to hesitate at all, and called him a criminal.

Xu Xianchun understands his current status and his own situation.

Zhu Youxiao didn't go to see Xu Xianchun, continued to eat noodles there, and picked up a piece of pickled cucumber and tasted it.

The taste is not bad, crisp and refreshing.

Noodles, garlic, and pickled cucumbers, Zhu Youxiao ate them very well.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the silk handkerchief from Chen Hong's hand and wiped his mouth.

Putting down the silk handkerchief, Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea for gargling and rinsed his mouth, and then raised his head to look at Xu Xianchun.

However, Zhu Youxiao still didn't talk to Xu Xianchun, but turned to Chen Hong and said, "Is Cui Yingyuan here?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Xianchun's expression was gloomy, and the whole person felt bad. At the same time, he was also extremely aggrieved in his heart, he had done so many things, it was nothing more than embezzling some money, and as a result, his future was ruined.

Chen Hong hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the person has arrived." ”

"Then let him in." Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned around and walked back to his chair and sat down, quietly looking at Xu Xianchun who was kneeling on the ground.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youxiao said: "I originally thought you were a smart person, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Xianchun was shocked.

This was the second time he had heard it.

It was Chen Hong who said this before, but now it seems that when it comes to understanding His Majesty, he is far worse than Chen Hong.

Xu Xianchun hurriedly touched the ground with his head, and cried bitterly first: "The minister knows that he is wrong!" Your Majesty, please give your ministers another chance! ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't go to see him, but continued: "This is not the first time you have taken money. ”

The so-called thousands of miles of being an official is only for money, I can understand; Like you, many people have called you my minions, and I know that. Being an official in this life is nothing more than seeking fame and profit, and one of the two will eventually be one; There are also people who serve the country and the people, but there are not many. ”

"Like you as a brocade guard, the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, there are many people who have offended, maybe one day you will not die well, I also know this. So I don't care if you take a little money, after all, the whole world is greedy, and after all, you are loyal. Those who are unfaithful are taking money, and it is right for you to be faithful to take some money. ”

"Your Majesty, ......" Xu Xianchun raised his head and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao's words.

"But money is not the same as money, and people are different. Some money can be taken, and some money cannot be taken; Some people can take some money, and some people can't. I'm not angry at you for taking money, but angry at you for not being able to see clearly. Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly.

At this time, Chen Hong led Cui Yingyuan into the door from outside.

At this time, Cui Yingyuan was still confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

He originally wanted to ask Chen Hong about it, but Chen Hong didn't say anything to him, which made Cui Yingyuan a little worried in his heart.

The moment Cui Yingyuan came in, he saw Xu Xianchun kneeling on the ground, and he was even more worried in his heart.

"Minister Cui Yongyuan, see Your Majesty."

Not daring to hesitate at all, Cui Yingyuan hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Although I don't know what's going on, it's not going to be a good thing after all, and it's better to lower my attitude.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cui Yingyuan and said, "Get up." ”

When Cui Yingyuan stood up, Zhu Youxiao's gaze turned back to Xu Xianchun, and said slowly: "Some people say that anyone can do Jinyiwei's errands, as long as they are obedient and ruthless." But I don't see it that way. ”

"You do a good job, but there are some things that you can't touch just can't touch. For the sake of what you've done for me for so long, and you've done your errands well, I won't say anything. ”

"The money you are greedy for, take it back yourself, it is the pension money I gave you. Let's have a monarch and a minister, which can be regarded as the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. ”

There is one thing that Zhu Youxiao did not deceive Xu Xianchun, that is, he really doesn't care about Xu Xianchun's greed for money.

These eagle dogs under their command are risking their lives to do things, offending everyone, living a precarious life, and taking a little money is nothing.

But there is one thing that Zhu Youxiao can't bear, and that is Xu Xianchun's stupidity. In this matter, Xu Xianchun's stupidity was exposed.

Luo Sigong was taken down by himself because of his soft-heartedness and because of his foresight.

Xu Xianchun is ruthless enough and does not look ahead, but the overall situation is too poor to see the situation in front of him clearly.

The purpose of punishing Shandong, cracking down on the gentry, and arresting the merchants who resold grain was very simple. When he came to Shandong, he had to rebuild the prestige of the imperial court in Shandong.

Because of the resale of disaster relief grain, the credibility of the Shandong government has gone bankrupt, and some people have rebelled here, so the people's hearts cannot be lost.

He punished these people in order to establish his authority and to restore the prestige of the imperial court.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the people and gentry of Shandong, the emperor not only did not have a benevolent heart, but lacked prestige.

These people are afraid of power but not virtuous, and they must not be let go so easily. At the same time, in order to confiscate their family property, so that they can have a rich family foundation.

If Xu Xianchun was corrupt in the process of confiscating his family property, even if he was more corrupt, he would not take it to heart.

But what Xu Xianchun is doing now is completely against his will. This is no longer a matter of money, Xu Xianchun can't use it.

There are a lot of things to do in the future, and they are also very big, so such stupid subordinates can't keep them. If you let Xu Xianchun go this time, it will definitely be bad in the future, so it's better to change people now.

"Minister, minister......" Xu Xianchun wanted to say something more, but Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and couldn't say it anymore.

He could only kneel on his knees, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing." ”

"Let's go back." Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Xianchun and said, "Go back and clean up well, and then go back to Beijing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Xianchun agreed, respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, stood up tremblingly, and walked outside.

It's just that he looks depressed and falters, and he has long lost his previous spirit.

Turning his head to look at Cui Yingyuan, Zhu Youxiao said, "You can take care of Jinyiwei's affairs first." If you do it well, Xu Xianchun's position is yours; If you can't do it well, then I don't need to say anything, you can go down. ”

Cui Yingyuan was still a little confused, but he understood one thing, Xu Xianchun made a mistake, an irreparable mistake; His Majesty pushed Xu Xianchun to the end, but he became the biggest beneficiary.

Thinking of this, Cui Yingyuan finally reacted, and the whole person became excited.

Although Xu Xianchun promoted Cui Yingyuan, he can be regarded as his benefactor. But when faced with such a thing, no one can not be excited.

What kind of position is that, Cui Yongyuan's heart couldn't be clearer. He didn't expect that this position would be his turn now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cui Yongyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, with an excited look on his face.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "You can explain." ”

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao stood up, turned around and walked out to the back.

After Zhu Youxiao left, Cui Yingyuan got up from the ground, came directly to Chen Hong, and said respectfully: "I have seen Gonggong Chen, and I will ask Gonggong Chen to take care of him in the future." ”

Chen Hong glanced at Cui Yingyuan and nodded slightly.

"Since Your Majesty ascended to the Great Treasure, the Jinyi Guards have changed two people. By the time it comes to you, it's already the third. The two of them had a good death before, but there is a good saying, again and again, and not again and again. Your Majesty's patience has a limit, and if you mess up again this time, I'm afraid you won't have as much luck as the first two. ”

Chen Hong said in a calm tone: "Luo Sigong is timid and afraid, Xu Xianchun is stupid, it's up to you now." If you do well, you will have a bright future; If you don't do it well, you will be worse than them. ”

"Please also ask my father-in-law for advice." Cui Yingyuan said with an envious smile on his face: "As long as my father-in-law says, I will listen carefully and never make a mistake." ”

Chen Hong nodded, it's good to know each other.

So he said: "Do you know what mistakes Xu Xianchun made this time? ”

Cui Yongyuan shook his head and said with some suspicion: "I don't know what to do." ”

"Quite simply, he took the money from the grain merchants, and did not confiscate their grain and family property, so that the grain merchants only needed to donate the grain. Do you know what that means? Chen Hong looked at Cui Yongyuan and asked slowly.

This is actually a question for the test, if Cui Yongyuan's answer is wrong, Chen Hong will not continue to say anything to him.

"Back to my father-in-law, this means that Xu Xianchun is a bully. We are Jinyiwei, we have a lot of power, and we can do many things, but there is one thing we can't do, and that is not to deceive Your Majesty. As long as it is something that His Majesty explains, even if it is to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, it must be done, let alone for money. Even if you lose your life, you can't make a mistake. Cui Yingyuan said.

As a person who climbed up from the bottom, Cui Yingyuan sees people's hearts more thoroughly. He knew very well in his heart that the most hated thing for the superior was deception, let alone His Majesty today. Xu Xianchun is really bold enough to dare to do this kind of thing.

"You are Xu Xianchun's henchman, don't you know?" Chen Hong looked at Cui Yingyuan and asked.

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I really don't know this." Cui Yingyuan hurriedly said: "Xu Xianchun won't tell him about this kind of thing, it's just a dog he raises." When he used it, he gave two bones, how could he tell the lowly about this kind of division of gold and silver? ”
