After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away."
After saying this, Chen Hong walked out eagerly.
Looking at Chen Hong's back, Zhu Youxiao showed a relaxed smile on his face.
For Zhu Youxiao, the big deal was what happened with the Kong family in Shandong.
As for the rebellion, Zhu Youxiao actually didn't take it too seriously.
In the original history, although Xu Hongru's rebellion seemed to be massive, it was not actually very dangerous. Because of the war in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty had withdrawn many people.
Many people from both Shandong and the southwest went to Liaodong. This is why She Chongming and An Bangyan caused such a big stir in the original history. Because the Ming Dynasty was without people, the region was naturally unstable.
But now it is different. The situation in Liaodong is relatively stable. Xiong Tingbi has done a good job in Liaodong. Although there have been dozens of battles, big and small, they have basically been able to hold on.
This was actually enough for Zhu Youxiao. He did not even think about counterattacking, and after adopting a safe defensive stance, he largely ensured the safety of Liaodong.
In the original history, the reason why Liaodong was in such a state of turmoil was not actually due to the Liaodong issue, but to the factional struggles in the court.
Today we have this policy towards Liaodong, and tomorrow we have that policy; today you are in charge of Liaodong, and tomorrow I am in charge of Liaodong. It is common for later generations to overturn the policies of their predecessors, and to change orders every day.
In addition, corruption was rampant, military pay in Liaodong was not guaranteed, and middle and lower-level officers and soldiers had a hard time surviving.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao sympathized with Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong was engaged in reselling in Liaodong, in large part to make money to support his army.
Some people say that Mao Wenlong was very powerful because he had so many soldiers, but if he didn't have such a way to make money, he would not be able to support so many soldiers.
The high officials of the imperial court asked him to work, but the money was all embezzled by the high officials. Naturally, Mao Wenlong had to find another way. In this situation, there was no better way.
Of course, embezzlement was not uncommon in that era, as almost everyone did it. Therefore, there was nothing special about Mao Wenlong; he was just an ordinary Ming Dynasty general.
Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong largely because he could not tolerate having a group of people under his command who did not obey his command. At the same time, he was extremely confident in himself and felt that he could control Mao Wenlong's people and there would not be any major problems.
From Yuan Chonghuan's actions and words, we can see that he is a very confident person, even confident to the point of being conceited. From another perspective, he is a representative of people who have high expectations but low skills, and who have become stupid because of reading too much.
There is no such war in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty now, and Zhu Youxiao has not withdrawn troops, so there is no problem of insufficient troops.
What's more, he brought 5,000 new troops with him, and was surrounded by a group of capable generals, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Cao Wenzhao.
With them by his side, Zhu Youxiao had nothing to worry about, and Xu Hongru's rebellion was even less of a problem.
When the Kong family's affairs came to an end, Zhu Youxiao would be able to put his mind at ease, and Xu Hongru's rebellion would not be a big deal. Zhu Youxiao had great confidence in this.
It was a mess outside and all the news was spreading like wildfire.
Xu Guangqi naturally heard about it as well, but after hearing the news, he was not very excited or resistant. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, with an expression of relief on his face.
Zhang Weixian, who was sitting next to Xu Guangqi, saw this scene and said with a smile, "Lord Xu is relieved."
"Although Your Majesty is young, he is quite experienced in his way of doing things. It is my fault for worrying too much as your subject." Xu Guangqi said with emotion.
"From now on, we don't have to worry about this matter. The Kong family's affairs have come to an end. They have been completely trampled into the ground, and there is no room for them to turn around."
"As long as Your Majesty promotes the Southern Branch of the Kong Family, then the Northern Branch of the Kong Family will be completely abandoned. After being brought down to the dust, it will be trampled into the dirt in a few years."
"If the Northern Kong Clan falls after the imperial court has dealt with it, it will still be a fat sheep for many people. Perhaps no one would have taken action a few years ago, but the temptation is always there, and those who want to take action won't delay for too long."
"By that time, the decline of the Northern Sect of the Kong Family will have become a reality."
Xu Guangqi and Zhang Weixian saw this clearly.
However, Xu Guangqi had no intention of caring about it at all. What he was worried about was not the Northern Branch of the Kong family, but that His Majesty would stand against the scholars and that the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos as a result.
Now it seems that Your Majesty's way of handling the matter is mature, safe and there is no problem. Even if some people are dissatisfied, it is useless. The fence-sitters in the court can change quickly.
As long as the tablet of the Southern Branch of the Kong Family is there, everyone can just put it up and there is no need to worry about anything else.
"Duke Yingguo, there has been a rebellion over there. Is it really okay for you to sit here calmly?" Xu Guangqi looked at Zhang Weixian and asked with a frown.
Zhang Weixian had watched Xu Guangqi's affairs frequently these days. Now that Xu Guangqi's affairs were settled, it was his turn to give Zhang Weixian a squeeze.
However, when Xu Guangqi said this, there was a smile on his face. The fact was that Xu Guangqi himself did not take this matter to heart at all.
"We've already sent troops." Zhang Weixian said with a smile, "Don't worry, the situation will be pacified soon."
