The reason why he and Cui Yingyuan came together was obviously because Xu Xianchun had already been dealt with.
Xu Xianchun naturally understood this point. With his intelligence, he naturally understood that what was coming next would be the final judgment on him.
Before that, Xu Xianchun naturally had to show enough respect.
If the result is good, he still has a chance to make a comeback, and naturally he has to repair his relationship with himself and Cui Yingyuan.
If the result is bad, if you behave humbly enough before, you won't make things difficult for him or his family in the future.
In any case, lowering one's stance now would only bring benefits and no harm. This alone showed Xu Xianchun's intelligence, and Chen Hong had to admire him.
At this moment, Chen Hong more or less understood why the emperor wanted to let Xu Xianchun go. It was indeed difficult to deal with such a person.
So Chen Hong smiled and said, "We already know about your situation. Speaking of which, it's still your fault. Is there anything you can't say?"
"Even if you don't trust our family, can you not trust His Majesty? His Majesty trusts you so much, how can you be worthy of His Majesty by doing this?"
After hearing this, Xu Xianchun fell to his knees and said directly, "Eunuch Chen, please stop talking. It's me who has let His Majesty down. I have betrayed His Majesty's trust!"
"I have something to tell Your Majesty. Please ask Eunuch Chen to pass it on. Xu Xianchun has wronged Your Majesty. No matter how Your Majesty treats me, I have no complaints. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to serve Your Majesty like a slave."
Looking at Xu Xianchun kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face and speaking from the heart, Cui Yingyuan sighed.
It turns out that I am still far from it.
Chen Hong walked over, extended his hand to help Xu Xianchun up and said, "Sir Xu, you don't have to wait until the next life to serve His Majesty like an ox or a horse. I came here today because I have something to tell you."
"Your Majesty's order!"
Hearing this, Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground again, kowtowed with a serious face and said: "I, the guilty minister Xu Xianchun, respectfully pray for the Holy Saint's blessing!"
"Your Majesty, rest in peace!" Chen Hong said expressionlessly, "Xu Xianchun, are you so flustered by such a small matter? Do you think I won't look after you because of such a small matter? Do you think I am cold-hearted and will mistreat my meritorious officials?"
"I'm telling you, put away your petty thoughts and don't judge others by your own standards. I'm going to punish you again this time because you made a mistake and because you didn't trust me."
"I am very angry. Your position as the commander of the Jinyiwei is gone. It has been handed over to Cui Yingyuan. Just serve well under your former subordinate. Don't have any thoughts and make amends."
After saying this, Chen Hong said, "I decree it."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground, kowtowed loudly, his face full of tears.
His entire body began to tremble, and he slapped himself hard several times. "Your Majesty, you treat me like this. I am worse than pigs and dogs! I am ashamed of your Majesty!"
Then Xu Xianchun burst into tears.
Chen Hong looked at Xu Xianchun, but had no intention of going forward to persuade him. He just watched quietly.
Then, Chen Hong turned to Cui Yingyuan beside him and said, "You have also seen how His Majesty treats you. How great is his grace?"
"When you return, do your work well and don't imitate Lord Xu. You will definitely have a bright future. Lord Xu will be in your hands from now on, so don't hold any grudges and do things the way you should."
"You two must cooperate well and not betray His Majesty's trust in you. You must not harbor any grudges against each other, and you must not make mistakes. Do you understand?"
These words were spoken to Cui Yingyuan, and naturally to Xu Xianchun as well.
Cui Yingyuan quickly bowed and agreed, "Don't worry, sir. I know what to do. I will definitely not let down your majesty's trust, nor your painstaking efforts."
Xu Xianchun also reacted at this time. He stood up, bowed to Chen Hong and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Chen. I will always remember your kindness and generosity."
"We don't expect you to repay us. Just try to stay out of trouble and focus on doing your job for His Majesty. If you don't ask us to clean up your messes for you, we will be satisfied." Chen Hong looked at the two of them and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Eunuch Chen. We will work together and will never let Eunuch Chen down." Xu Xianchun quickly assured.
"It's good that you know." After saying this, Chen Hong turned around and looked at Cui Yingyuan and said, "You go first. My family still has something to tell Master Xu."
