Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 358: The Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief has been replaced again

But what Xu Xianchun did now completely violated his own will. This was no longer a matter of money. Xu Xianchun was no longer useful.

I have a lot of things to do in the future, and they are very important. I can't keep such stupid subordinates. If I let Xu Xianchun go this time, it will definitely cause trouble in the future. It's better to replace him now.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xu Xianchun wanted to say something else, but Zhu Youxiao looked at him and he could not say anything anymore.

He could only kneel there in a daze, mumbling through his lips, "I thank Your Majesty for not killing me."

"Go back." Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Xianchun and said, "Go back and pack your things properly, then return to Beijing."

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

But he looked depressed and walked unsteadily, and he had long lost his previous high spirits.

Turning to look at Cui Yingyuan, Zhu Youxiao said, "You should take charge of the Jinyiwei affairs first. If you do well, Xu Xianchun's position will be yours. If you don't do well, then there is no need for me to say anything more, you can leave."

Cui Yingyuan was still a little confused, but he understood one thing: Xu Xianchun had made a mistake, an irreparable mistake; His Majesty had demoted Xu Xianchun to the bottom, and he himself had become the biggest beneficiary.

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

Although Xu Xianchun promoted Cui Yingyuan and was considered his benefactor, no one could remain unmoved when faced with such a thing.

Cui Yongyuan knew exactly what kind of position that was. He had never expected that this position would be his.

"I thank Your Majesty!" Cui Yongyuan quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, his face full of excitement.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Please explain it."

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

After Zhu Youxiao left, Cui Yingyuan got up from the ground and came directly to Chen Hong, saying respectfully: "Hello, Eunuch Chen, please take good care of me in the future."

Chen Hong glanced at Cui Yingyuan and nodded slightly.

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the Jinyiwei Commander has changed twice. You are the third. The previous two had a good end, but there is a saying that goes, you can do it once or twice, but you can't do it three or four times. His Majesty's patience has its limits. If you mess up again this time, I'm afraid you won't be as lucky as the previous two."

Chen Hong said calmly, "Luo Sigong is timid and cowardly, and Xu Xianchun is extremely stupid. Now it's up to you. If you do well, you will have a bright future. If you don't, you will be worse off than them."

"Please give me some advice, sir." Cui Yingyuan said with an envious smile on his face, "As long as you say something, I will listen carefully and will never make any mistakes."

Chen Hong nodded and said, "Just be sensible."

So he said, "Do you know what mistake Xu Xianchun made this time?"

Cui Yongyuan shook his head and said doubtfully, "I don't know."

"It's very simple. He took the money from those grain merchants and didn't confiscate their grain and property. He asked these grain merchants to just donate the grain. Do you know what this means?" Chen Hong looked at Cui Yongyuan and asked slowly.

This was actually a teacher's test question. If Cui Yongyuan's answer was wrong, Chen Hong would not say anything else to him.

"My lord, this means Xu Xianchun is deceiving the emperor. As Jinyiwei, we have great power and can do many things, but there is one thing we cannot do, and that is to deceive His Majesty. As long as it is something His Majesty has instructed us to do, we must do it even if we have to go through fire and water, let alone for money. We cannot make mistakes even if it means losing our lives." Cui Yingyuan said.

As someone who had risen from the bottom, Cui Yingyuan had a more thorough understanding of human nature. He knew full well that the most hated thing about those in power was deception, let alone the current emperor. Xu Xianchun was truly courageous, even daring to do such a thing.

"You are Xu Xianchun's confidant, how could you not know it?" Chen Hong asked Cui Yingyuan.

"To be honest, sir, I really don't know about this." Cui Yingyuan said quickly: "Xu Xianchun would never tell me such a thing. I am just a dog he raised. He gave me two bones when he needed them. How could he tell me about dividing gold and silver?"
