Xu Guangqi glanced at Zhang Weixian, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

His position was originally different from Zhang Weixian's, but he believed that what Zhang Weixian said was true.

The nobles, relatives of the nobles, and civil officials were inherently different. They were more deeply bound to His Majesty, having been deeply favored by the Emperor for generations, and were reluctant to do anything that would offend His Majesty. After all, if they did so, the Emperor would only have to say a word to punish them.

What's more, Zhang Weixian is now deeply trusted and valued by Your Majesty, and will not ruin his own future.

"So, let's do it this way!" Xu Guangqi said, "As for how the matter will be handled, it still depends on your majesty's wishes. We should not get too involved."

Zhang Weixian and the other man also understood Xu Guangqi's meaning and nodded.

Xu Guangqi and the other two knew that while the current emperor was young and full of vigor, he was not immature in his methods and was very strong-willed. His decisions were difficult to reverse. If it was for the sake of his country, resistance was necessary.

However, for this matter, it is simply not worth it. The Kong family has indeed gone too far. Not only have they taken so much land and exploited so many people, they even dared to extend their hands to the disaster relief grain. They really should think about it carefully.

As for how Your Majesty deals with it, that is Your Majesty's power, and people like us should not express our opinions.

Looking at the empty room, Zhu Youxiao stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched his muscles, glanced at Chen Hong, and said expressionlessly, "Call Xu Xianchun over. By the way, take good care of Yanshenggong and make sure nothing happens."

After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong was stunned, but she quickly reacted and nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

In fact, Chen Hong was already planning.

He was planning how to make Duke Yansheng confess his guilt and then how to kill him. Now it seems that His Majesty has other uses for keeping Duke Yansheng alive.

Chen Hong also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, killing such a person was not a small matter, so it was good that he didn't have to do it now.

Chen Hong didn't understand. It wasn't that Zhu Youxiao didn't want to kill him, but that he had other ideas and the time hadn't come yet.

"Go." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.

Chen Hong bowed and walked out to find Xu Xianchun.

Zhu Youxiao walked slowly back to the couch, leaned lazily on it, waved to the palace maid not far away, and said, "Press it for me."

The palace maid naturally did not dare to delay and immediately took action.

Zhu Youxiao rested his head on the thigh of a palace maid, and his legs were held by two palace maids, who gently pressed and kneaded them.

The palace maid whose thigh was resting on Zhu Youxiao's head was gently pressing Zhu Youxiao's head.

Soon, Xu Xianchun walked in from outside.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, I am Xu Xianchun."

Zhu Youxiao didn't stand up either. Instead, he said lazily, "Okay, get up."

Xu Xianchun stood up, lowered his head, and did not dare to look up.

His Majesty was enjoying himself, and he didn't dare look over. If he did, it would be an act of usurpation, and that was something he couldn't do.

"It's been a while since you became the commander of the Imperial Guard, right?" Zhu Youxiao asked slowly, "Do you have any insights?"

Hearing these questions, Xu Xianchun was shocked and couldn't help but look at Chen Hong on the side.

While the question is simple, the answer is not. If you say the wrong thing, your good days are probably over.

However, Xu Xianchun was soon disappointed.

Because Chen Hong was there with his head down, looking like he didn't want to look at you, and didn't give Xu Xianchun any hint at all.

Xu Xianchun's heart sank. Naturally, he didn't doubt that Chen Hong didn't want to help him. His interests were tied together with Chen Hong's, or rather, the interests of the Jinyiwei and Chen Hong were tied together. Chen Hong was also very clear about this matter.

Eunuch Wei of the East Factory is very powerful, and Chen Hong will be suppressed if he is not careful. The reason why the Jinyiwei can maintain this status now is because there is Eunuch Chen Hong in the palace, or it can be said that His Majesty wants to balance the East Factory and the Jinyiwei.

If he didn't do his job well, this balance would be gone. Once the Jinyiwei lost their favor, Eunuch Chen would have no good days.

Now Chen Hong hadn't given him any hints, and didn't even dare look at him. This could only mean that this was His Majesty's order. His Majesty wanted to examine him, and if Chen Hong spoke or gave any hint, the situation would only get worse.

Xu Xianchun gathered himself, took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed deeply touched."

You can't say you don't feel anything at this moment. Your Majesty wants to hear your feelings. If you dare to say you don't feel anything, then you don't have to do this anymore.

"Really? Then tell me about it." Zhu Youxiao seemed interested and said with a smile.

"The Jinyiwei monitors the world for Your Majesty. They don't need to think about anything else except Your Majesty. When the Jinyiwei do their work, they don't need to care about anyone or anything. They just need to follow Your Majesty's orders." Xu Xianchun said firmly, "In my opinion, the Jinyiwei are Your Majesty's swords. Wherever Your Majesty points, the Jinyiwei will rush there. Even if it means mountains of swords and seas of blood, even if it means losing their lives, we will not hesitate!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Well said, you have done a good job recently. I think you are indeed a suitable candidate. Do a good job. I never treat those who work for me unfairly."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down." Xu Xianchun said quickly.
