The Most Powerful Man in the World

If Chu Yi knew what Liu Jin was thinking, he would probably be laughing. He Liu Jin was stubborn, and he couldn't hold a needle. He even wanted to show his open-mindedness. You can't lose a big tooth.

Although he didn't know what his brother-in-law meant, Sun Cong was obviously a scheming person to be valued by Liu Jin and depended on him as a confidant. His expression changed immediately, and he bowed to Chu Yi with a smile and respect on his face: "In the next grandson Cong, I have long admired the name of the Governor of Chu, and when I saw it today, it really lives up to its reputation, no wonder the Director has always praised you!"

Glancing at Sun Cong lightly, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "It turns out that your Excellency is Sun Cong. I have always heard that there is a mastermind under the general manager's house. I see it today, and I know that people are not good-looking!"

Even with Sun Cong's cleverness, he didn't know how to react after listening to Chu Yi's words, because he couldn't tell whether Chu Yi's words were praising him or ridiculing him.

To be honest, Sun Cong did not know how many sinister ideas he had helped Liu Jin, and how many officials above the court were destroyed by him. If Shi Yiwen, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, was Liu Jin's knife, then Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian could be said to be Liu Jin's. brain.

It was these people who made suggestions for Liu Jin, and Liu Jin himself was good at figuring out the emperor's heart, that made Liu Jin so powerful today.

The corners of Jiao Fang's mouth twitched slightly, and she stepped forward and bowed to Chu Yi, as if to help Sun Cong with a smile: "Jiao Fang has seen Governor Chu."

Glancing at Jiao Fang lightly, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Elder Jiao Ge is here too!"

The rest of the people also came forward to greet Chu Yi. Liu Jin clapped his hands and placed himself in the center. Chu Yi was placed first on the left, and everyone else took their seats.

Raising the wine glass, Liu Jin smiled and said, "Come on, I am fortunate to have the Governor of Chu visit today and drink this glass together!"

Chu Yi drank a glass of wine, glanced at the crowd, and finally said to Liu Jin: "The chief executive invited Chu to come here to have a bar with Chu, the East Factory is busy with affairs, Chu still has things to deal with, I'm afraid it is Can't wait long!"

Liu Jin narrowed his eyes and giggled: "No wonder Your Majesty trusts Brother Chu so much. If this court, both inside and outside of the court, are as loyal to your duties as Brother Chu, and if you are self-denying and serving the public, Your Majesty will have nothing to worry about."

Chu Yi played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a chuckle, "Isn't there a master steward and you all to share your worries with Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin drank the drink and looked at Chu Yi with awe, and said: "This is full of people, many affairs, big and small matters in the palace, all have to be asked by this gentleman, even if our family is iron-clad. I can't bear it, if Brother Chu is willing to help me!"

Finally, Liu Jin threw an olive branch to Chu Yi, the voice fell, the hall was quiet, everyone was quietly paying attention to Chu Yi, just to see how Chu Yi would react, whether he would accept Liu Jin's solicitation.

The fact that Dongchang fell into the hands of Chu Yi has always been a problem for Liu Jin. Although Jinyiwei is in hand, he feels that it is not as easy as Dongchang.Now that he has freed up his hands a little, he naturally wants to plan to bring back the East Factory.

As long as Chu Yi promises to be attached to him, he can give Chu Yi a noble position. In Liu Jin's opinion, he has done his best to Chu Yi.

Think about those opponents who dare to oppose him, which one is not the one who has been ruined by him, and is in a dilemma.

Over the years, Chu Yi has secretly kept the affairs of some of the courtiers persecuted by him. He turned a blind eye and did not care about them. Isn't this a kind of tolerance for Chu Yi from his father-in-law Liu?

Chu Yi sat there, playing with the glass-colored wine glass in his hand, as if there was a magical world in the wine glass, just when everyone couldn't wait, Chu Yi slowly put down the wine glass and bowed to Liu Jin and said, "Chu Thank you very much for the attention of the Director, but Chu is limited in energy, and an East Factory makes Chu tremble, lest something go wrong and I will lose the favor of the emperor, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the Director!"

Chapter 24 The old man's good words for the country【Request tickets】

After saying this, Chu Yi nodded towards Liu Jin and said, "Master Manager's wine is very good. If the Manager has time in the future, Chu will invite Master Manager to drink!"

Standing up, Chu Yi glanced at the people around him, then turned and left.

Jiao Fang, Sun Cong, Zhang Wenmian, Shi Yiwen and others were stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, obviously not expecting that Chu Yi would reject Liu Jin's solicitation so simply.

From their point of view, Liu Jin's solicitation of Chu Yi is to look down on Chu Yi. After all, although Liu Jin does not dare to say that he can cover the sky with one hand, no one really dares to disobey Liu Jin's intentions in the court, inside and outside the palace.

The title of Emperor Li is not for nothing. I don't know how many people tell everyone with bloody facts, don't provoke Liu Jin if you provoke anyone.

Although Chu Yi didn't reject Liu Jin's solicitation without Chi Guoguo, but he refused in front of so many people. Isn't this a slap in the face of Liu Jin?

Looking at Chu Yi's back, who seemed to be inexplicably tall for a moment, who was walking out of the hall, and then looking at Liu Jin, who was sitting there, his face pulled down, and he was as gloomy as water. Many people just glanced at Liu Jin's incomparably gloomy expression His expression was so frightened that he lowered his head, for fear that he would become the target of Liu Jin's anger.

Kacha, with their heads lowered, Sun Cong and the others only heard a slight noise. Jiao Fang secretly looked, and saw Liu Jin, who was gloomy. The carved dragon glass cup in his hand was crushed by him.

With a snap, I saw Liu Jin slapped on the table, followed by an angry roar: "Chu Yi, our family thinks so much of you that we are so troublesome to win over you, since you are so ignorant of praise, don't blame the miscellaneous family. Don't talk about the past feelings, the hot hands are ruthless!"

From Liu Jin's point of view, he has always been so tolerant to Chu Yi because of his past love, but he did not expect that Chu Yi would be so ignorant of good people and ignore his kindness.

The table in front of Liu Jin was smashed by his slap, and the fruits, dishes and the like were scattered all over the ground, but the little eunuch who was serving was so frightened that he shivered and did not dare to move.

After a while, seeing Liu Jin's complexion a little better, Sun Cong, Liu Jin's sister-in-law, took a deep breath and said to Liu Jin: "Master Chief, since this Chu Yi is so ignorant of praise, then we don't need to be polite to him. Now, with Father-in-law's current power, can't he still deal with a mere Chu Yi?"

In Sun Cong's view, Liu Jin can suppress even such a powerful opponent as Gu Dayong, just a Chu Yi, as long as Liu Jin is willing, isn't that an easy task?

After calming down, Liu Jin shook his head slightly after listening to Sun Cong's words: "Don't underestimate Chu Yi, he is no better than Gu Da and has no real power in his hands. Dongchang has been in his hands for the past few years. It was stunned that it was made into a piece of iron bucket, and I was unable to infiltrate it by sending people several times, which shows its means."

Zhang Wenmian stroked his beard and said, "Don't forget about the favor, it only takes a word from the Son of Heaven to take Chu Yi's position as the director of the Dongchang factory. Without the seat of the Dongchang director, he, Chu Yi, is nothing, and he will still be there when the time comes. Don't you just let Eun Sang handle it?"

The head of the Slijian is in charge of the power of Phihong, and he is called the inner minister. As a confidant literati who was recruited by Liu Jin, Zhang Wenmian naturally figured out Liu Jin's thoughts and flattered Liu Jin as the inner minister.

Liu Jin pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "I will go and attack your Majesty, but Chu Yi is deeply loved by the Son of Heaven. The position of factory superintendent."

Jiao Fang coughed lightly and said to Liu Jin, "You don't have to worry about it, Lord Chief!"

Liu Jin still values ​​Jiao Fang, a cabinet veteran. After all, in the cabinet, only Jiao Fang really depends on him. Except for Li Dongyang, who is a stubborn old man, although others do not oppose him, they will not be attached to him either. he.

Therefore, Liu Jin is very concerned about Jiao Fang. Now that Jiao Fang speaks, not only Liu Jin, but also other people look at Jiao Fang, obviously wanting to see what the cabinet elders have to say.

Jiao Fang's white beard drooped down, and while stroking his beard, he said confidently: "Master Chief, might as well think about it, who is the Chief's biggest opponent right now?"

Squinting his eyes, the figures of Chu Yi and Gu Dayong flashed in Liu Jin's mind. In the end, it was fixed on Gu Dayong. Even he had to admit that although Chu Yi was simple in the emperor's heart, Chu Yi was also quite low-key. Most of them stay in the East Factory on weekdays. Unless the emperor summons him, he will not take the initiative to see the emperor. It is his independence and special behavior that makes the emperor more trustworthy.

On the contrary, it was Gu Dayong who had been by the emperor's side all the time, even if he was suppressed by him, but Liu Jin knew very well that once he was negligent, Gu Dayong would bite him like a poisonous snake.

In comparison, Liu Jin naturally understands that although Chu Yi is a trouble, he is not his biggest opponent at the moment, so Liu Jin said to Jiao Fang: "The boss has a good eye and sees thousands of miles, yes, right now our biggest opponent is still Gu Da. Use it, it's not Chu Yi."

With a green beard, Jiao Fang smiled and said, "Since your lord understands this, then Jiao Fang can be at ease, things are prioritized, and the political enemies must be prioritized, which one to deal with first, and which one to deal with later, must be done. I know it well, sometimes even if you are an enemy, you may not be able to turn it into a help."

Hearing what Jiao Fang said, Liu Jin couldn't help but remember that it was because of Chu Yi's words that he successfully won the position of Jinyiwei in the battle with Gu Dayong.

Thinking about it now, if Chu Yi really chose to support Gu Dayong at that time, maybe Jin Yiwei would fall into Gu Dayong's hands. Without such a sharp butcher knife as Jin Yiwei, Liu Jin would definitely not have been able to do it in such a short time. He shocked the court inside and outside, and became a powerful and powerful emperor in one fell swoop.

After walking a few steps, Liu Jin turned around, his eyes fell on Jiao Fang and said, "Elder Yige means, let's ignore Chu Yi for the time being and take down Gu Dayong completely first?"

Jiao Fang's eyes flashed: "Sir, don't forget, Gu Dayong has been trying to persuade His Majesty to reopen the West Factory. If he really succeeds, what will be the consequences? I think even if I don't say it, the boss will be in his heart. It should be clear!"

"Gu Dayong, this cheap servant, actually wants to reopen the West Factory. If he really succeeds, won't he want to overwhelm our family at that time!"

Obviously Liu Jin also knows that although Gu Dayong, who has no real power in his hands, is known as the governor's forbidden army, but it is related to the army and is restrained by the Ministry of War. Gu Dayong's so-called military power is simply a joke.

But Dongchang, Jinyiwei and even Xichang are different in nature. Just like Dongchang was made into an iron barrel by Chu Yi, Dongchang is a sharp knife in his hands, even if Liu Jin is not completely sure. Not willing to take the initiative to provoke.

Although the West Factory was established for a short period of time and was later abolished, the nature of the West Factory is not much different from that of the East Factory and Jinyiwei. They are all institutions that integrate intelligence, supervision, and violence. Once it is re-established, as long as Gu Dayong is not stupid, It won't take long for the West Factory to swell into another terrifying existence comparable to the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

Seeing Liu Jin's changing expression, and listening to Jiao Fang's old-fashioned talk of seeking the country, Zhang Wenmian also had a worried look on his face, even Sun Cong, who claimed to be Liu Jin's master.

As for Shi Yiwen, who is in charge of Jinyiwei, he looks at Liu Jin. Jinyiwei has an opponent like the East Factory who divides his rights, which has already caused him a headache. If there is another West Factory, does it mean that Jinyiwei's power will be divided again.

[There are votes to hit the votes, collect them, and reward them. The author is trying to lose face, and the data is too poor to pretend to be forceful! 】

Chapter 25 The chief executive who is confused【Request tickets】

Thinking of this, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but get nervous, and couldn't help but said to Liu Jin: "General Manager, Chu Yi is just a mustard moss, no matter what time you deal with him, it can't hinder the overall situation, but Gu Dayong plotted to restore the West Factory, This is the real heartbreaker!"

Jiao Fang squinted his eyes with a little smile in his eyes. He stroked his beard and looked at Sun Cong, Zhang Wenmian, and Shi Yiwen. He didn't need to say anything, and they hurriedly persuaded Liu Jin to deal with Gu Dayong first. Say it again.

Here, Jiao Fang dispelled Liu Jin's idea of ​​dealing with Chu Yi in a few words, and when Chu Yi walked out of Liu Jin's mansion, he looked back at the open door.

With a sigh, if Liu Jin really had the determination to throw a cup at him and deal with him directly, then he might give Liu Jin a high look.

The two of them were almost torn apart. Liu Jin spent so much time inviting him to come, but there was no follow-up arrangement. Chu Yi felt that he had really looked down on Liu Jin all along.

Liu Jin only relied on the favor of the Son of Heaven, plus those few trusted confidants who were justifiable, and this was how he got to where he is today.

Perhaps if Jiao Fang, the old fox who had experienced the ups and downs of the Huanhai Sea, had been helping Liu Jin wholeheartedly, he would have left the mansion smoothly today, and he would probably kill him.

However, Jiao Fang had already been taken by him for his own use, but Liu Jin had no idea when his generals became someone else's.

Seeing Chu Yi approaching, Wang Zheng hurriedly greeted him and bowed to Chu Yi: "Professor, then Liu Jin..."

Chu Yi said calmly, "Return to the East Factory!"

Seeing that Chu Yi didn't want to say more, Wang Zheng naturally did not dare to ask any more. After Chu Yi got into the car, Wang Zheng said, "Go back to the East Factory!"

In the evening, Chu Yi entered the palace.

A burst of laughter could be heard in the distance. Needless to say, it must be the inner prisoners who were playing with the emperor at the moment.

Zhu Houzhao is now in his twenties, but unfortunately when he ascended the throne as a young man, he lost control all of a sudden. In addition, he was surrounded by Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju and other people among the eight tigers. It must be said that Zhu Houzhao was not affected by these people. Weird.

Fortunately, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the courtiers left by Emperor Xiaozong were still there. Even if Liu Jin removed a lot of them, there were still a group of loyal and upright people in the court led by Li Dongyang.

"Chu Yi's father-in-law has an audience!"

Zhu Houzhao, who was playing with Liu Jin and Gu Da with a few people, listened to the message from the little eunuch at the door, and his eyes lit up: "It turns out that it is Chu Da's companion who is here, let him come in quickly."

When Chu Yi walked into the hall, he saw Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was putting down such a rare thing in his hand. Liu Jin glanced at him calmly, something unexpected from Chu Yi, Liu Jin's temperament, he rejected him in the morning. How could he not show his face?

Chu Yi didn't know that Jiao Fang persuaded Liu Jin in a few words after he left to shift his target to Gu Dayong. After all, even if Jiao Fang wanted to spread the news to him, it was too late.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, partner Chu."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said, "Didn't my companion say that he would prepare a gift for me a few days ago? Have you ever prepared it?"

Chu Yi has always been calm and reliable in his work. In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, since Chu Yi said it, it means that the gift that Chu Yi will present at that time must be unusual.

Although it was only three or two days away from the last time, Zhu Houzhao, who was extremely bored, couldn't wait.

Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it will take a few days to get on board!"

If this were someone else, he would definitely be reprimanded by Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "If this is the case, then I will wait a few more days."

With that said, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi, "Is there something wrong with my companion entering the palace now?"

Chu Yi bowed his hands and looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is here to ask for something."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, knowing that several of the servants around him, such as Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, could be said to have their own personalities, while Chu Yi was indifferent and indifferent to the world. It can be said that in Zhu Houzhao's impression, he hardly spoke. What did you ask him for?

At this moment, Chu Yi, who has never been asking for help, actually opened his mouth to ask for help. How could this not make Zhu Houzhao curious about what was going on, so that Chu Yi could be stumped.

Zhu Houzhao trusted and recognized Chu Yi's ability quite a bit. If even Chu Yi couldn't handle things properly, Zhu Houzhao felt that no one around him could do it.

"Oh, when the big companion was in trouble, I was a little curious. Come and listen. What is it that makes the director of the East Factory feel difficult, and you have to come and ask me!"

Gu Dayong and Liu Jin on the side also raised their ears one by one, obviously curious about what Chu Yi was selling.

Liu Jin was a little nervous. He only had a showdown with Chu Yi in the morning. At this moment, Chu Yi had something to ask Zhu Houzhao.

However, Liu Jin is not too worried. He believes that his position in Zhu Houzhao's heart must be stronger than that of Chu Yi, and he is not afraid that Chu Yi will give him bad words in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Besides, Liu Jin also believed that with Chu Yi's cleverness, he would not target him in front of Zhu Houzhao, even though they were fighting in secret, but in front of Zhu Houzhao, they behaved one by one. Very harmonious, like brothers.

Only Chu Yi opened his mouth and said, "This matter is a case handled by the chief executive not long ago."

Liu Jin raised his brows, and looked at Chu Yi with a bit of unkindness in his eyes. Could it be that Chu Yi really dared to break the rules and face himself in front of the emperor?

"Oh, it has something to do with Liu Dafan?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin, at this moment Liu Jin looked bewildered and quickly said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this old slave usually assists His Majesty in dealing with government affairs, but I really can't remember the presence of Governor Chu. What case are you talking about?"

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and looked at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi smiled, and first said to Liu Jin: "This matter doesn't concern the general manager, but I read the case file of the East Factory not long ago and found that the trilateral general manager Yang Yiqing seems to have some problems, but Yang Yiqing has been arrested by His Majesty. It was ordered to be sent to the imperial prison, without His Majesty's will, no one can interrogate Yang Yiqing..."
