He naturally knew very well what these people selected by Qi Jin were for. They were to serve as personal guards for His Majesty.
It goes without saying how important this position is. The person who can take on this position must be the one His Majesty trusts the most, and also the one with the greatest responsibility. If there is any omission, it will be troublesome.
Because it was Qi Jin who chose the person himself, he would not have any thoughts on the person in command. Even if the emperor asked him, he would not dare to say it because it was a very taboo thing.
If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible.
But even though Qi Jin was trying to avoid it, the incident still happened to him, which he had never expected.
His Majesty actually thought of using his son to lead these people. Although Qi Jin didn't know whether this was His Majesty testing him, he knew in his heart that he absolutely could not agree to this now.
He now controls a large number of troops. If his son becomes the commander of His Majesty's personal guards, he will be in great danger.
"Your Majesty, I am not outstanding, and I am young and frivolous. I am really not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility. Please revoke your order." Qi Jin said hurriedly, bowing.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Qi Jin, seeing his apprehensive expression. He smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "It seems that you and I are still not close. If you spend more time with me, you will know that I do not bother to test my subjects. So, whatever I say to you is what I really think, and you don't need to hesitate."
Qi Jin was stunned.
You have to know that he has been in Beijing for quite some time and has seen how His Majesty dealt with those ministers.
He saw how the ministers in the court were slaughtered by His Majesty, and the blood flowed like a river.
When he first met His Majesty, he only thought that His Majesty was a young man with the hope of reviving the Ming Dynasty and great courage. However, he did not expect that His Majesty also had such a bloody and murderous side.
It was after those events that Qi Jin realized one thing: the young emperor before him was a true emperor.
So in this situation, Qi Jin was not careless at all, nor did he dare to be careless at all.
But he didn't expect that His Majesty would say such words to him. His heart suddenly moved, as if it was really as His Majesty said. His Majesty never seemed to test others when doing things and did whatever he wanted.
Does Your Majesty really want to reuse your son?
It is indeed a good thing for me that Your Majesty wants to reuse his son.
However, if he allowed his son to become the commander of His Majesty's imperial guards, his family would probably become the target of public criticism.
You must know that gossip can melt metal. Even if Your Majesty trusts his father and son now, who knows how long this trust will last under the instigation of people with ulterior motives?
Once this trust is broken, it will be difficult for both father and son to back out.
"I am indeed not capable of doing anything important. Your Majesty, please revoke your order." Qi Jin bowed again, his face serious and his attitude firm.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Anything else?"
Qi Jin was slightly stunned. Was he going to kick him out?
So he quickly said, "I have nothing else to do."
"Then this matter is settled." Zhu Youxiao said solemnly, "Because you are Qi Yuanfu's father, I am telling you this matter, not asking for your opinion. Qi Yuanfu is also my subject, and how I decide to use him is my business. Now there is no need for you to stay here any longer. Your business is finished, go back and do your own thing."
Qi Jin looked at Zhu Youxiao with some disbelief.
He didn't expect that His Majesty had such a side to him. He was stunned for a moment and didn't get up to say goodbye. It seemed that he wanted to say something else.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and asked with some doubt: "My dear, is there anything else?"
"I have nothing else to do." Qi Jin had no choice but to say it.
Before he could open his mouth to say anything else, Zhu Youxiao once again interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Since there is nothing else to do, please leave."
Helplessly, Qi Jin bowed and said slowly, "In that case, I will take my leave."
After Qi Jin left, Zhu Youxiao slowly turned around. He could no longer hold back the smile on his face and burst into laughter.
Qi Jin's expression just now was so interesting.
After laughing, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and glanced at Chen Hong, who was a little confused not far away. He said lightly: "You can go to their house to convey the order. Ask Qi Yuanfu to be on standby at the West Garden tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll go right away." Chen Hong agreed quickly.
