The Most Powerful Man in the World

If it is really time to impose a commercial tax, it will inevitably affect the interests of these people. The northern land is nothing but the royal deterrence, with the capital army inside and the border army outside.

But in the south, where the business is prosperous, the wealthy people will not obediently take out the white money from their pockets and hand them over to the court.

Jiao Fang could think that those who were born in the south or were directly involved in Jiangnan would definitely come out and oppose the increase in business tax.

Although Jiao Fang did not speak, but just by looking at Jiao Fang's expression, Zhu Houzhao knew that Zhu Houzhao was not a ruthless king. understanding.

Regarding the tax increase, even Chu Yi first used Jiao Fang to spread the word to test the reactions of all parties. If it was so easy to increase the tax, then the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty would have already implemented it, and it would not be their turn. The king and his ministers worked hard.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we should wait for the big companion to return to Beijing, and then let the elders discuss it with the big companion in person!"

Jiao Fang worshipped the Son of Heaven and left the Qianqing Palace.

Gu Dayong quietly walked into the Qianqing Palace, and seeing Zhu Houzhao sitting there with a tired look on his face, he couldn't help but stepped forward and stood beside Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the government will never be finished, Your Majesty should use the dragon body as the It's important!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gu Dayong and said, "My companion, what happened to the matter that I asked you to investigate? What is the origin of the palace maid?"

Gu Dayong said with a straight face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old slave personally informed Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei, but under strict investigation, I found something."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be shocked, and his face showed a look of surprise: "Oh, what is the harvest of your companion, let's hear it."

Gu Dayong said: "According to the investigation of Jinyiwei, the palace maid Yuzhu is from the capital. She lost her father since she was a child and has only one mother. Later, she entered the palace. Because of her penetrating mind, she was transferred to the Queen's Palace and served by the Queen. It is important to be one of the maids of the goddess. But just a month ago, the old mother of Yuzhu was suddenly picked up, and there has been no news since then."

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, so, this Yuzhu is not a dead man arranged by others. According to the time when his mother was picked up, it is exactly how long the queen was pregnant."

Gu Dayong nodded and said, "Your Majesty's words are very true, so according to the old slave's judgment, this Yuzhu must have been coerced by the safety of her mother's life to endanger the queen, but it is because this woman is not from a dead man, so Only by bumping into the queen, hoping to endanger the dragon child in the queen's belly."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "It makes sense, if this girl is really a dead man carefully trained by someone, there are other means. She is a little maid and was coerced. Action, I'm afraid it's already her limit."

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao flashed a bright light in his eyes and said: "Check it out for me, who did Yuzhu have contact with a month ago, she has no chance to leave the palace as a palace maid, there must be someone in the palace who passed the news on She, otherwise, she might not even know that her mother was being coerced."

Gu Dayong said: "The slaves have already sent someone to investigate, and there will be news soon after thinking about it."

Picking up a cup of hot tea and handing it to Zhu Houzhao, Gu Dayong said, "The maids around the goddess, the old slave also thoroughly investigated them at one time, and transferred a group of palace maids to eliminate all hidden dangers!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "I'm relieved to work with my partner!"

Luan drove out of Qianqing Palace and went straight to Kunning Palace.

Although it has been a few days since Yuzhu assassinated the Queen, and most of the palace staff have been replaced, the palace is still filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Neither Zhu Houzhao nor the Queen herself can change this. After all, this is caused by people's hearts. The Queen had an accident. Now those who serve the Queen are naturally worried.

Fortunately, although the atmosphere was a little suppressed, it also eliminated hidden dangers. After thinking about it for a long time, the people's hearts have calmed down, and it will not be like it is now.

After a few days of conditioning, the queen's body is naturally much better than before, and now she is walking in the palace accompanied by a trusted maid.

The queen married the emperor, but she brought two maids in her family who grew up together. The other maids are not credible, but these two maids have no problem.

An old eunuch and several young eunuchs followed behind. This old eunuch was Qin An who was called the ancestor by the eunuchs in the palace.

Qin An was transferred by the emperor to sit in Kunning Palace. There is such a great master in the world. Unless someone has a cultivation base higher than Qin An, otherwise, no one can endanger the queen.

Here, the Forbidden City is loose and tight, and Zhu Houzhao's will left the capital and went straight to Shandong.

Chu Yi stopped at the Confucius family in Qufu, and I have to say that the Confucius family is indeed a tree with deep roots, and its heritage is not comparable to that of ordinary families.

Just the boxes and boxes of classics selected by Kong Wenzheng and others kept Chu Yi from leaving the study for several days.

Although most of them do not contain luck, this does not mean that Chu Yi is not interested, especially many of the classics sent by the Kong family are all isolated and rare books, it can be said that even in the palace, they cannot be found. arrive.

Chu Yi was proficient in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, as well as astronomy, geography, agriculture, and the art of war. He was also proficient in medical theory.

At this moment, Chu Yi was looking through an unknown medical book in his hand. There is a saying that if you are not a good doctor, you will be a good doctor, but there are many medical books in the Confucius family's collection.

Since ancient times, medical and martial arts are not separated, and people who practice martial arts are more or less proficient in some medical principles. Of course, for most people who practice martial arts in the rivers and lakes, only a few people who are profound in martial arts will be distracted and involved in medicine.

Although the sunflower collection that Chu Yi cultivated is not a incomplete version of the practice like the Eastern Invincible, but Chu Yi is based on the sunflower collection and walked out of his own way.

However, there is no end to the practice. Now, the sunflower collection that Chu Yi has cultivated has been deduced again and again by him, and has been tailor-made for himself with the help of the altar of luck.

If it weren't for this, Chu Yi's cultivation time was so far behind that of the innate powerhouses such as Dongfang Invincible, so how could he be comparable to these people?

No one can ask Chu Yi how to go after the Sunflower Collection. Even if the Eastern Invincible has taken a step forward on the basis of the Sunflower Collection, Chu Yi will learn from it at most, so he wants to continue. As the practice continued, Chu Yi could only continue to deduce the follow-up method.

But if you want to create a method of cultivation, even a great master of martial arts has to spend his whole life before he can create one or several.

Chu Yi didn't reach that level, but Chu Yi knew one thing. For example, the founders of Jiuyin and Yijinjing were all masters of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Huang Chang compiled the Taoist Cang and realized the Jiuyin Zhenjing. Bodhidharma was proficient in Buddhism and created his own line of Zen, leaving behind the two classics of Yijin and Washing.

Because of this, Chu Yi just studied the three classics of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, not only to collect luck, increase his knowledge, but also dabble in astronomy, geography, medicine and other classics. Hongru is poor.

If it weren't for this, Chu Yi would definitely not be able to walk out of his own path on the basis of the Sunflower Collection, and then break through the innate realm.

With a sigh, Chu Yi's practice has now entered a bottleneck. Although he still insists on meditating every day, the only thing that has increased is the strength of his inner breath. However, Chu Yi still has something in his heart for the cultivation path above innate. doubt.

In my mind, a book of martial arts cheats that I had read before emerged, but the highest realm of these martial arts cheats is only the innate realm, and there is no way to practice after innate.

In Chu Yi's view, in fact, whether it is Yi Jin Jing or Jiu Yin, if it is the whole text, there must be a description about the innate.

With a slight sigh, Chu Yi picked up his emotions, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and whispered softly: "As the saying goes, the change of the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to teach, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate. Do it, why can't Chu!"

Suddenly, Chu Yi raised his brows and said, "Who!"

Just hearing a creak, the door of the study slowly opened, and Cao Shaoqin said with a hurried look: "The Governor, the envoy from Beijing asks to see the Governor."

Chu Yi said lightly: "Bring him to see you!"

When the envoy from the capital walked into the study, Chu Yi couldn't help but stunned and said in surprise, "Jiang Wu, why is it you, aren't you guarding His Majesty's side to protect His Majesty's safety?"

The person who came was Wu Gu, one of the servants beside the emperor.

Wu Gu, who lost his arm when he stopped Zhu Han from stabbing Zhu Houzhao at the beginning, was a good player in the world. Even if he lost his arm, it did not hinder his deep cultivation.

Now that Zhu Houzhao actually sent Wu Gu to come, Chu Yi couldn't help but wonder what happened in Beijing.

Wu Gu bowed to Chu Yi and said, "This servant has seen the chief executive!"

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, tell me quickly, did something happen in Beijing, and His Majesty actually patted you here to see me?"

Wu Gu said with a straight face: "Master Chief, the Empress was suddenly pushed by the maid next to her recently, almost causing the dragon child in her belly to fail. His Majesty was furious, fearing that someone would do something wrong, and ordered the old slave to come quickly, please Lord. Hurry back to Beijing."

Speaking of Wu Gu, there was a bit of hesitation on his face, as if he had something to say.

Seeing Wu Gu's expression, Chu Yi said, "Is there any explanation from Your Majesty, if Director Wu has anything to say, just say it directly!"

Wu Gu glanced at Chu Yi and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty said that if the Governor goes back too late, then the Governor's board will be beaten!"

Chu Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but there was a cold light in his eyes. Even if he knew that Zhu Houzhao was there, some people would definitely be unable to sit still, but Chu Yi did not expect that some people would be so impatient. The queen was only rumored to be pregnant for more than a month, so she couldn't hold back her desire to kill the emperor's bloodline. How impatient!

Cao Shaoqin on the side couldn't help but look at Chu Yi with a look of anxiety on his face. There are people who are not good for the queen, that is to say, if some people are not good for the emperor, it is not impossible.

Almost everything about Chu Yi originated from Zhu Houzhao. Once Zhu Houzhao had any accident, and Chu Yi was not in the capital, I was afraid that some people could easily deprive Chu Yi of everything he had right now.

As for Chu Yi's allies in the capital, such as the civil servants headed by Jiao Fang and the honorable nobles headed by Zhang Mao, it would be good if they didn't fall into the trap by then.

[The second one is sent, it is said that you can achieve what you want, 嘤!Boo!Boo!Ask for a monthly ticket! 】

Chapter 3 Can killing a king be a trivial matter? 【[-] more】

"Master, we..."

Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but stepped forward and looked at Chu Yi with a worried expression.

Chu Yi calmly nodded towards Cao Shaoqin and said, "Shaoqin, go and prepare, we will leave for Beijing in the afternoon!"

Cao Shaoqin's eyes lit up immediately, and he respectfully led the way.

Wu Gu also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He came under the order of Zhu Houzhao, and naturally hoped that Chu Yi could return to Beijing as quickly as possible.

But what kind of identity does Chu Yi have? At most, he came to convey Zhu Houzhao's orders. As for when Chu Yi will leave and how long it will take to return to Beijing, that is Chu Yi's own business.

When the Confucius family heard the news that Chu Yi was going to return to Beijing, including the Duke of Yansheng Kong Wenshao couldn't help showing joy.

Kong Wenshao, Kong Wenzheng and several other clan elders came to see Chu Yi off in person, and offered many precious classics eagerly, and then sent Chu Yi back to Beijing like a god of plague.

The news that Chu Yi left Qufu and returned to Beijing was immediately passed back to the capital.

In an extremely elegant courtyard in the capital, under the shade of a tree, the two of them sat opposite each other. There was little sandalwood in the incense burner, a pot of tea, and a chessboard in front of them. On the chessboard, two black and white sons were entangled.

I saw one of them rolled up his sleeves, rolled up and fell down, and said with a slight smile: "Teacher has been away from the capital for several years, and this time I quietly returned to Beijing, I think there must be something important!"

The old man sitting across from him stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What is the reason for this old man here? Is it possible that the old man has no idea in his heart?"

The old man in the purple robe couldn't help but change his expression slightly when he heard the words, and when he saw the expression of the teacher with the name of Muzhai, he couldn't help smiling bitterly and said: "Master, why is this, here? It's the capital, not like the land of Jiangnan, once Chu Yi returns to the capital, no matter what the teacher has planned, it will not be able to stop Chu Yi's power."

Hearing this, Duke Muzhai just smiled contemptuously and said, "It's just a royal eunuch. It's nothing more than being favored by the Son of Heaven, and that's why he gained power and has the power to dominate the world today."

The old man in the purple robe stroked his beard and said, "That said, your Majesty can be said to be obedient to Chu Yi, and he is very reliant on it. Even the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp have been handed over to your admiral. If the teacher comes here and wants to divide If there is a relationship between Chu Yi and the emperor, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Hearing this, Duke Mu Zhai laughed. Although he was old, his voice was like a bell, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Who said that this old man is here to alienate the relationship between the emperor and the eunuch."

The old man in the purple robe looked at Duke Muzhai and sighed slightly: "The disciple does not know what the teacher wants to do, but he advises the teacher to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible. This capital is actually dangerous and dangerous. Once Chu Yi returns, the trace of your teacher will be there. Expose, there will be disaster."

Duke Mu Zhai glanced at the old man and said, "I see that the older you are, the more timid you are. Even if Chu Yi found out the whereabouts of the old man, so what, without any evidence, would he dare to do anything to the old man? ?"

The purple-robed old man couldn't help laughing bitterly, but he couldn't say anything about the teacher who helped him into the officialdom and was nearly twenty years older than him.

As the saying goes, the Lord of Heaven and Earth is a teacher, and Duke Muzhai has the grace to recreate him, but he can't do anything except persuade him.

As soon as his son fell, Duke Muzhai said lightly: "The little emperor has already sent people to Shandong to recruit Chu Yi back to Beijing. Once Chu Yi returns to Beijing, he will let him master the army of Beijing camp, I'm afraid that when the time comes, taxes will be increased, the sea will be opened, etc. Things will be put on the agenda, and the people of Jiangnan will be in dire straits. My generation of scholars should ask for their lives and seek well-being for the people! Only in this way can we be worthy of the sky and the earth, have a clear conscience, and live up to the teachings of sages and sages. ."

The purple-robed old man responded: "What the teacher taught is that Chu Yi's cultivation is unfathomable, and he was stabbed several times, but he took advantage of the opportunity to link up the nine clans!"

The meaning of the old man in purple robe could not be more clear, that is, if he wants to assassinate Chu Yi, it is not realistic at all, because there are too many precedents, so he is not optimistic and does not support the assassination of Chu Yi.

Duke Mu Zhai smiled slightly and said indifferently, "How come I don't know, the old man said before that the reason why Chu Yi, the castrated thief, has the momentum he has now, in the final analysis, it all stems from the little emperor's love for him. Everything depends on the little emperor, if the little emperor..."

With a click, the chess piece in the hands of the purple-robed old man couldn't help falling onto the chessboard. He saw the horrified expression on the purple-robed old man's face, and looked at his teacher who was sitting opposite him in disbelief.

His eyes opened wide, and with a grunt, the purple-robed old man seemed to have heard the most terrifying thing, and trembled: "En... Teacher, you don't want... to be detrimental to Your Majesty!"

Duke Mu Zhai glanced at the old man in the purple robe, and said while saying, "You are also the cabinet elder, why do you look like this for a little thing?"

The purple-robed old man had cold sweat dripping out of his forehead. This is about to kill the king. Is this still a small matter? If this is not a big deal, then what is a big deal?

The back and spine were a little cold, the purple-robed old man stared at Mu Zhai Gong, only to hear Mu Zhai Gong faintly say: "Your Majesty is ignorant, and he favors traitors. There is Liu Jin in front, and Chu Yi in the back. He will die at his hands, and the old man has assisted several generations of emperors, but how can he sit back and watch Daming Jiangshan fall into crisis and ignore it."

"But...but, he is the first emperor's direct son after all, the king of my country in Ming Dynasty, the supreme and noble..."

Stroking his beard, Duke Mu Zhai said in a low voice, as if he came from the Nine Serenities: "The ruler of a country is also a human being, a wind and cold, an accidental fall into the water, an accidental fire and even a broken stomach, life is full of All kinds of accidents, aren't they?"

The old man in the purple robe stood up suddenly, the chess pieces in the jade box in front of him were accidentally knocked off the ground, looked at Duke Mu Zhai in horror and said in a trembling voice: "This... this is a great treason, once the matter fails, it will be Execution of the Nine Clan!"
