The Most Powerful Man in the World

The matter is simple, nothing more than that Cao Shaoqin did not fight Liu Jin by Wang Yue's side, and became a loser. Naturally, he was abandoned by Wang Yue, so Liu Jin was sent by Wang Yue to the prince's side, while Cao Shaoqin was sent to Dongchang.

Cao Shaoqin may be a genius in martial arts, but unfortunately he is much worse than Liu Jin in playing tricks on people's hearts, and it is normal for him to be unable to fight against Liu Jin.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking of the resentment and unwillingness in Cao Shaoqin's eyes when he mentioned Liu Jin, Chu Yi said slowly: "You know that Liu Jin is now the chief executive of the li supervisor, and the powerful Sheng is the number one person in the inner court."

Where is the East Factory, the information couldn't be better. Cao Shaoqin's own ability is not bad. Even if he was sent to the East Factory by Wang Yue, he has established a firm foothold in the East Factory in the past few years, and naturally knows the changes in the court and the inner court.

At this moment, Chu Yi said with a half-smiling smile: "Our chief executive is not an open-minded person. It is said that in just half a year, at least a dozen eunuchs and eunuchs who had offended him in those years disappeared. die

The corpse just evaporated in the world! "

Cao Shaoqin was so blessed, he knelt down in front of Chu Yi, and said respectfully, "Please save me."

At the beginning, he and Liu Jin competed for favor in front of Wang Yue, the chief executive. The two could be said to be life and death rivals. Don't look at Liu Jin's trouble of looking for Cao Shaoqin in the past half a year. It can only be said that Cao Shaoqin is far away in the East Factory, and Liu Jin is temporarily in trouble. I haven't had time to deal with him yet.

Once Liu Jin cleans up those people in the palace, Cao Shaoqin will definitely come into his sight. At that time, unless Cao Shaoqin is willing to go to the end of the world, otherwise, the world is so big that there is no place for him to hide.

And now Cao Shaoqin can only pin his hopes on Chu Yi. After all, Chu Yi was able to grab the position of the director of the East Factory from Liu Jin, which at least can prove that Chu Yi has an extremely important position in the mind of the emperor.

The huge Daming, it seems that only three or two people can really protect him under Liu Jin's power, and what he can catch is only the director of the East Factory in front of him.

Seeing Cao Shaoqin kneeling in front of him, Chu Yi pondered for a long time and said, "If I save you, I will offend Liu Jin..."

Cao Shaoqin kowtowed again and again, his brows suddenly turned red, and he looked at Chu Yi and said, "There is only one loyal to return to the factory master, in the future I will be a dog of the factory master, and the factory master will let me die. , I won't even blink."

Chu Yi took a deep look at Cao Shaoqin, got up slowly, and walked in front of Cao Shaoqin, the sunflower true energy was running, and a tyrannical aura permeated, and Chu Yi said: "Come on, let me see your Value, as long as you can stick to a stick of incense under my hands, I will protect you."

Cao Shaoqin couldn't see through Chu Yi, and he was shocked when he suddenly felt the aura that erupted from Chu Yi's body. He thought that he was unrivaled in cultivating the Sunflower Collection, but he didn't expect that Chu Yi, who was a few years younger than him, would actually have such strength.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Shaoqin looked at Chu Yi and said, "This subordinate will be offended."

In the next moment, Cao Shaoqin disappeared, and Chu Yi's figure also disappeared. In the huge hall, there was only the sound of wind and the sound of the two fighting.

If someone is watching the battle, they will find that the figures in the entire hall are erratic, like ghosts.

Chu Yi had already overestimated Cao Shaoqin. He did not expect Cao Shaoqin to be stronger than he expected. If Chu Yi did not practice with the help of the altar of luck, he would definitely not be Cao Shaoqin's opponent.

In the same way, Cao Shaoqin became more and more frightened as he fought, his arrogant mentality subsided a lot, at least the strength displayed by Chu Yi made him admire him.

After a cup of tea time passed, the two figures suddenly separated, Chu Yi's breath was slightly unstable, while Cao Shaoqin was panting.

"The superintendent's meritorious participation in good fortune, the subordinates are not as good as it is!"

If you really want to say it, Chu Yi is just forcing Cao Shaoqin out of the front line, but considering the time when the two of them practiced the Sunflower Collection, Cao Shaoqin was a few years earlier than Chu Yi, so it is reasonable to say that Cao Shaoqin is inferior to Chu Yi.

For such a tyrannical subordinate as Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi is naturally very satisfied, at least much stronger than the four Chu Fang and Wang Zheng who he transferred from Huang Shizhen.

Moreover, subduing Cao Shaoqin will be of great help to him in controlling Dongchang. With Cao Shaoqin, who is familiar with Dongchang, and the Chu Fang and Wang Zheng sent by him, it will not be long before Dongchang will be completely his territory.

Chapter 20 Fun, fun!

Chu Yi pointed at Cao Shaoqin and said, "I will do things with peace of mind in the future. I will block Liu Jin for you!"

Hearing what Chu Yi said, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and his heart finally fell. It was really Liu Jin's actions in the past six months that had calmed down many people.

But anyone who opposes Liu Jin, relying on the emperor's favor, even the cabinet elders have been brought down by Liu Jin. It can be said that Liu Jin's murderous name has been passed from the inner court to the court.

Chu Yi is very clear that this is not the peak of Liu Jin's power. When Liu Jin's power reaches its peak, it can be said that except for a very small number of upright ministers, no one dares to oppose Liu Jin's opinion.

There are still a few years before Liu Jin flourishes and declines. It is said that Chu Yi should hide under a big tree like Liu Jin as he planned to protect him from the wind and rain.

However, as Chu Yi was trusted by the Son of Heaven, Chu Yi found that his previous ideas were not realistic at all.

Not to mention other things, just say that this time he was appointed by the emperor Qin as the director of the East Factory, which has left a rift between him and Liu Jin. Don't look at Liu Jin on the surface, it seems that he doesn't care, what is in his heart, I'm afraid Only he knew it.

Fortunately for Liu Jin, his biggest opponent now is Gu Dayong, who is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. With Liu Jin's temperament, once Gu Dayong is suppressed, Chu Yi can guarantee that Liu Jin will definitely target Dongchang.

After all, the East Factory has always been the site of the Director of Licensing, and now Liu Jin has been in charge of the Director of Licensing, but he has not been able to take charge of the East Factory. It would be strange if Liu Jin had no idea in his heart.

Unless Chu Yi is willing to hand over the Dongchang obediently at that time, then he will meet Liu Jin sooner or later. In this case, why not gather a group of available people for his own use while Liu Jin is wantonly rejecting others.

Other than that, at least this Cao Shaoqin is a usable person.

In the huge database of the East Factory, Chu Yi was accompanied by Cao Shaoqin and stood in front of a wall. In front of this wall, there were neat rows of bookshelves.

Cao Shaoqin said to Chu Yi: "Duke, here is the record of news you are looking for about the various schools and factions in Jianghu."

"Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, Sun Moon God Sect..."

Familiar names appeared in Chu Yi's line of sight, which forced Chu Yi to have an association. Ever since he discovered that there are martial arts such as the Sunflower Collection in this world, Chu Yi knew that this was by no means an ordinary world. My guess is correct.

"Cao Shaoqin, come and tell me, on the rivers and lakes, respect those forces!"

When Cao Shaoqin saw that Chu Yi seemed to be interested in Jianghu, it was not surprising. After all, Dongchang's own responsibility was to monitor the world, and the movements on the rivers and lakes were also under the supervision of Dongchang.

After pondering for a while, Cao Shaoqin stayed in the East Factory for several years. Naturally, he was very clear about these materials, and he heard Cao Shaoqin say: "Report to the Governor, to say that among the rivers and lakes, Shaolin, Wudang and Sun and Moon God are the most important. Teaching is respected, in the past, the Huashan Sect was once famous all over the world, but it is a pity that a turmoil a few decades ago damaged the vitality of the Huashan Sect and has since declined.”

With a move in his heart, Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Oh, this Sun Moon God Sect can actually keep pace with Shaolin and Wudang. I don't know where this Sun Moon God Sect came from?"

Cao Shaoqin looked around, and said in a low voice, "The Governor does not know anything, this Sun Moon Divine Sect is said to have a lot of background. In the past, His Majesty the Great Ancestor rose up at the end of the day, expelled the Yuanmeng Tatars, and restored the Chinese clothes. It was only with the support of a major force, the Ming Cult, that he had the last laugh among the heroes, but Taizu..."

Chu Yi raised his brows, Cao Shaoqin even dared to talk about the Emperor Taizu, obviously he was really loyal, otherwise he would not dare to say such words.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Chu Yi said, "Could it be that the Sun and Moon Divine Sect originated from the Ming Sect?"

Cao Shaoqin nodded and said: "The Ming Sect was destroyed by the Taizu, but naturally it is impossible for the huge Ming Sect to kill all of them. Those remnants fled to the southeast and founded the Sun and Moon Sect in Heimuya. Because they inherited the heritage of the Ming Sect of the past, the Sun and Moon Sect was established in Heimuya. Luna Sect is no weaker than Shaolin and Wudang.”

After saying that, Cao Shaoqin stepped forward and took a volume of books and sent it to Chu Yi respectfully and said, "Master, please take a look, this is the information about the Sun and Moon Divine Sect collected by the East Factory."

After taking the book and opening it, Chu Yi took a closer look. There really was a record about the Sun Moon God Sect, but it was very vague about the origin of the Sun Moon God Sect. Chu Yi didn't care much about it. What I am concerned about is that the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect is impressively undefeated in the east.

"The East is undefeated!"

When Cao Shaoqin heard Chu Yi chanting Dongfang Invincible's name, he quickly explained: "More than ten years ago, the former head of the Sun Moon God Sect, I Xing, disappeared suddenly, and Dongfang Invincible became the new leader. Men Qigong, even the affairs of the teaching are handed over to the subordinates."

Chu Yi looked at the names on the book, Yang Lianting, Qu Yang, and the corners of his mouth gradually swayed.

"Fun, interesting!"

Looking at Chu Yi's reaction, Cao Shaoqin was a little confused about what Chu Yi meant, so he slightly lowered his head and stood aside, watching Chu Yi put down the book and reached out to take the Huashan faction's file.

After opening it, Chu Yi glanced at it, and sure enough, the leader was the head of the Huashan faction, Yue Buqun.

It was not until sunset that Chu Yi left the East Factory and returned to the palace.

At Chu Yi's residence, Zhao Ming and Du Qian saw that Chu Yi returned with a light expression on their faces, and they quickly greeted them and said, "Sir, you are finally back, your Majesty summoned you, and the people who came here have been waiting for a cup of tea. "

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, Zhu Houzhao summoned him at this time and didn't know what to do, but he still tidied up a little and ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is the place where the emperor rests. If it is called to summon court officials, it is usually in formal occasions such as Wuying Hall. Chu Yi belongs to the inner court and can travel unimpeded in the inner court, so Zhu Houzhao summons most of them in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as I approached the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I heard a burst of laughter, not when Zi Zhu Houzhao was today.

Before Chu Yi walked to the gate of the palace, the chief eunuch said, "Chu Yi, the eunuch serving at the Dongchang Official School, has been sent by the imperial envoy."

There was laughter in the hall, and then Zhu Houzhao said, "Biography."

Chu Yi walked into the hall, and saw Liu Jin, who was smiling and wrinkled, was accompanying Zhu Houzhao, while Gu Dayong's face was a little ugly.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Chu Yi could roughly see that Gu Dayong must have suffered a loss, otherwise he would never look like that.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao put down the brush in his hand and waved at Chu Yi: "I heard that you went to the East Factory today, how is it, everything is going well."

Chu Yi said with a smile: "With His Majesty's blessing, and relying on His Majesty's heavenly might, naturally everything will go well."

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "I will leave the East Factory to you to take care of, and you will do whatever you want. If there is any difficulty, just bring it up and I will help you solve it."

With an expression of gratitude, Chu Yi said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Chu Yi will definitely smash his body into pieces to repay His Majesty."

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Houzhao waved at Chu Yi and said, "Come on, take a look at me, how is my picture of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests?"

Under Liu Jin's slightly jealous eyes, Chu Yi walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and his eyes fell on the table.

Not to mention, although there were many wonderful emperors in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's education was not bad since he was a child. Although he dared not say that he was proficient in everything, at least he was a good painter, so he would not be unable to meet people.

After a little pondering, Chu Yi said: "Although His Majesty's painter is still a bit rusty, he has drawn the momentum of this fierce tiger, and is much more advanced than before."

If ordinary people say that there are flaws in the emperor's paintings, it would be self-inflicted and boring, but Chu Yi was not worried at all.

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao laughed and patted on Chu Yi's shoulder and said, "It's still Chu Yi, you have the guts to speak up. Just now, Liu Dafan and Gu Dafan have nothing to say except praise."

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of grievance: "The slaves do not know painting and calligraphy. In the eyes of the slaves, Your Majesty's picture of the tiger's roaring mountains and forests is a masterpiece! If Your Majesty is willing to give up his love and give it to the slaves, the slaves will definitely enshrine it..."

Zhu Houzhao grabbed the painting and threw it to Liu Jin, "You old man, take it, I will reward you!"

[Well, ask for a recommendation ticket, collect it. 】

Chapter 21 The Emperor's Mind

With a look of surprise, Liu Jin carefully rolled up the scroll, smiling like a flower and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Gu Dayong took a step slower, and could only watch Liu Jin win Zhu Houzhao's favor with hatred, while Chu Yi quietly looked at Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, sighing in his heart, Liu Jin is really not ordinary, not to mention the rest, just this discussion The emperor is happy with this, he and Gu Dayong are really hard to beat.

With a light cough, Gu Dayong said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, now that Eunuch Chu has come, didn't Your Majesty want to ask Eunuch Chu about the candidate for the commander of Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Houzhao looked astonished, took a shower under the service of Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, then sat down and said to Chu Yi while drinking tea: "Chu Yi, just now I discussed the command of Jinyiwei with Dafan Liu and Dafan Gu. The candidates for the ambassador, the two of them recommended Shi Yiwen and Dong Wu respectively, who do you think is more suitable?"

Liu Jin and Gu Dayong's eyes fell on Chu Yi, obviously Zhu Houzhao had no opinion on the candidates recommended by the two, but just wanted to make a choice between the two.

Although there is no difference for Emperor Zhu Houzhao, for Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, the meaning is very different.

The commander of Jinyiwei, that is a powerful figure in charge of Jinyiwei. Once their people are in charge of Jinyiwei, it means that they have the upper hand in competing for the favor of the emperor.

Besides, with the support of Jin Yiwei, even if it is to target the opponent, it is naturally a lot easier to have the source of information and intelligence, even if it takes the opportunity to bring down the opponent, it does not seem to be difficult.

Jinyiwei has a long history. Emperor Taizu personally established it. It has been more than a hundred years old. It can be said that a huge intelligence network has been woven in the world. Whoever is in charge of Jinyiwei will master this big network.

And the commander of Jinyiwei has always been in charge of a military general who is trusted by the emperor. Liu Jin lost the East Factory. If he wants to increase his influence inside and outside the court, he must compete for the position of commander of Jinyiwei.

Obviously Shi Yiwen is Liu Jin's confidant, otherwise Liu Jin would definitely not recommend Shi Yiwen.As for Dong Wu, it was no accident that he fell to Gu Dayong.

Chu Yi was sitting on the wax for a while. He wondered if Zhu Houzhao invited him on purpose, and then asked him to choose between the two.

No matter which one he chooses, he will definitely have a rift with Liu Jin or Gu Dayong.

As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If Chu Yi's guess is true, I have to say that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor's means, is really not bad.

But even if the emperor deliberately alienated his relationship with Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, Chu Yi had to make a choice.

After pondering for a while, Chu Yi said to Zhu Houzhao, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this slave thinks that Shi Yiwen is both human and military, and is loyal to His Majesty. He is really the best candidate for the commander of Jinyiwei!"

As soon as Chu Yi said these words, Gu Dayong's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he did not hide his resentment towards Chu Yi, but Liu Jin looked like a winner, giggling: "Your Majesty, it seems that the slave and Chu Yi are the same. It's so heartwarming!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Chu Yi, put down the teacup in his hand and nodded and said, "Since Liu Dafan and Chu Dafan both think that Shi Yiwen is more suitable, then pass on my will and order Shi Yiwen to supervise Jin Yiwei and give Feiyu clothes!"

The Jinyiwei commander was selected, and Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "Compared to Jinyiwei, I rely more on the East Factory, so you need to worry more about Chu Da companion."
