The Most Powerful Man in the World

[The third one is delivered, the big guys can keep up with the monthly pass, and the flea code word is more motivated! 】

Chapter 1 is really my good minister! 【[-] more】

Han Kun shook his head with a humble look on his face and said, "Uncle Xu is joking. Han is just a reckless man in the army. How can he compare with a noble family like Uncle Xu?"

Xu Shang sighed slightly when he heard the words: "General Han wants to go wrong. If he can move from place to place, Xu would rather hold the power like General Han, rather than be an existence with little power."

Xu Shang was a governor in the five army governor's mansion, and he was considered a noble person in the five army governor's mansion, but it was precisely because of his nobleness that Xu Shang said that he had no real power.

The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion is clearly in charge of the government, and is almost comparable to the Ministry of War. However, with the fall of honor, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has almost become a subordinate institution of the Ministry of War.

Although it is said that Xungui has signs of revival now, it is a pity that Xu Shang is just like Guo Xun. The imprint of the civil servants on them is too deep, and the relationship with the civil servants is too close, and they are directly rejected by Chu Yi and the emperor. outside the Xungui Group.

So don't look at Xu Shang and Guo Xun who are still part of the Xungui Group in name, but in fact, they have no close relationship with the Xungui Group at all, but have a close relationship with the Wenchen Group.

Han Kun looked at Xu Shang with a light cough and said, "Uncle Xu came to look for Han this time, do you have any advice?"

Xu Shang stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the gift list in Han Kun's hand. Han Kun followed Xu Shang's gaze and looked at the gift list in his hand.

When Han Kun saw all the gifts listed on the gift list, even Han Kun couldn't help breathing a little.

It turned out that the most striking thing on this gift list was [-] taels of silver, plus all kinds of gold, silver, jade, and the like, this gift list was almost worth [-] taels of silver.

Such a huge gift list, even Han Kun couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.

Seeing the reaction of Han Kun's expression in his eyes, Xu Shang's mouth was slightly raised, and his eyes showed a bit of pride.

Even if Han Kun was valued by the emperor and Chu Yi, he was just a nouveau riche in the end. In the past, there were a few people in the army who would take Han Kun to heart.

Xu Shang also knew about Han Kun's foundation. Although he said he had military power in his hand, his family was not very wealthy. If Han Kun was asked to spend thousands of taels of silver, maybe Han Kun would be able to get it. But to make it take out more, it is really powerless.

Now that he made a move, it was a huge gift worth [-] taels, and he didn't believe that Han Kun was unmoved.

From Xu Shang's view, it is impossible for everyone in the world to be unmoved when faced with such a large amount of wealth. Even if someone is unmoved, it can only be because the temptation of the wealth is not enough.

With a light cough, Xu Shang looked at Han Kun with a smile on his face.

With some embarrassment, Han Kun handed the gift list to Xu Shang and said, "Uncle Xu, this gift is too heavy, and Han really can't bear it."

Xu Shang's eyes showed a bit of a smile, how could he not see that although Han Kun said he handed over the gift list, he actually showed a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

"Hahaha, is it possible that General Han doesn't give Xu Mou's face, and the mere courtesy is just a little bit of Xu Mou's care."

Han Kun showed some hesitation on his face, looking at Xu Shang gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Xu, as the saying goes, you won't get paid without merit. How could Han accept such a big gift with such peace of mind?"

Xu Shang smiled slightly, looked at Han Kun, and said with a straight face: "Xu has a big opportunity to give to General Han, I wonder if General Han is willing to seize it?"

Han Kun narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked at Xu Shang and said, "Oh, what advice does Uncle Xu have?"

I only heard Xu Shang slowly say: "I don't know General Han to know that just last night, there was a fire in the Qianqing Palace, but His Majesty was unable to escape, and he has already returned to the sky..."

Han Kun's expression changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up and stared at Xu Shang and said solemnly: "Uncle Xu, you can't talk nonsense about such things. If people hear it, it will be beheaded!"

Xu Shang took Han Kun's reaction in his eyes, and increasingly believed that Han Kun must have not received the news from the palace, but Xu Shang also knew that the news had been blocked in the palace, except for very few people who knew about the fire in the palace and the disappearance of the emperor. Apart from the news, no one else knew about it at all.

Although Han Kun said that he was in charge of the army, with Han Kun's background and background, it was obviously impossible to obtain news from the palace immediately, so it was unexpected for Han Kun to have such a reaction.

Xu Shang looked at Han Kun and said, "General Han, you don't think Xu would joke with you about such things. There was a fire in the palace, and His Majesty returned to the sky. Now the Queen Mother has blocked the news, and I'm afraid of chaos in Beijing."

Han Kun sat down, stared at Xu Shang, squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle Xu, even if this is the case, this kind of major event is not something that a commander in a district in Han can talk about. , the queen mother and others will handle it themselves, as a martial artist, the only thing Han can do is to sit in the military camp and listen to orders."

Xu Shang looked at Han Kun with a bit of temptation and said: "General Han, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for General Han. With the tens of thousands of Tengxiang Four Guards in the hands of General Han, as long as he can climb up and shout. , If you support the new monarch and ascend to the throne, then the new monarch will definitely be rewarded, and perhaps General Han can go further."

Han Kun's expression changed greatly, and he looked at Xu Shang with a look of horror: "Uncle Xu, you... Are you planning to rebel?"

Xu Shang shook his head and said, "His Majesty is dead, and Daming has no master. I'm just picking a new prince for Daming. This move can be said to be meritorious to the society, how can it be called a treason?"

Saying that, Xu Shang stared at Han Kun and said, "General Han, I am afraid that you may not meet this opportunity once in your lifetime. This is simply an opportunity given to you by God, so don't miss it."

Han Kun shook his head and said, "This matter is very important, and it is difficult for Han to make a decision for a while. Let me think about it, let me think about it!"

Although Xu Shang was a little disappointed that Han Kun did not agree directly, but Han Kun did not refuse, which gave Xu Shang hope.

In the capital, two troops are the most important, one is the Jingying army of nearly [-] people, and the other is the four guards of Tengxiang, who are independent from the Beijing camp. As long as they can control these two troops, then the overall situation of the capital will be It has been settled.

Xu Shang glanced at Han Kun and sighed slightly: "Xu also knows that such a big thing is too sudden for General Han, Xu can wait for General Han's reply, three days later, I hope three days later. After that, General Han can give Xu an answer."

Han Kun took a deep breath, looked up at Xu Shang, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, Han agreed, and he will definitely give Uncle Xu an answer in three days."

Saying that, Han Kun handed the gift list to Xu Shang with a look of hard work: "If you don't have any merit, you won't be rewarded. Please ask Uncle Xu to take this gift list!"

Xu Shang saw Han Kun's expression in his eyes and waved his hand with great arrogance: "Since the gift has been sent, there is no reason to take it back. Could it be that General Han does not want to make a friend with Xu."

Han Kun gritted his teeth, looked at Xu Shang and said, "Okay, Uncle Xu is a friend, and Han has made it!"

Xu Shang got up with a smile on his face and cupped his hands towards Han Kun: "So Xu will not disturb General Han, and Xu will wait for General Han's reply in three days."

Han Kun personally sent Xu Shang out of the Tengxiang Siwei Camp. Seeing the carts of gifts being transported into the camp, Han Kun turned back to the commanding account with a solemn expression.

Opening the tent, Han Kun saw two figures sitting there.

Seeing one of them, Han Kuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in front of the other party, and said respectfully: "I will pay tribute to Your Majesty at the end of the day, Your Majesty is safe!"

It turned out that this person was the emperor Zhu Houzhao, who seemed to have evaporated from the world after the fire in the Qianqing Palace. The person beside him escorted him out of the fire and escorted him to the four-guard camp of Tengxiang as soon as possible. The real Shaoyuan Festival.

Zhu Houzhao had one leg wrapped in white cloth, obviously he was injured a little in the fire, but looking at Zhu Houzhao's spirit, it was obvious that this injury was nothing to him.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was looking at the gift list placed on the handsome case by Han Kun with great interest, only to hear Zhu Houzhao's cold voice with a bit of chill: "Tsk tsk, what a great handwriting. As soon as they made a move, they were worth [-] taels of silver, and they were really willing to pay for it!"

Han Kun couldn't hear the anger in Zhu Houzhao's words, so he quickly said: "The last general swears allegiance to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the last general will go and capture that Xu Shang."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, motioned Han Kun to stand up and said: "I know General Han's loyalty, and Chu Daban had previously told me that if something happened in the capital, I would come to General Han's army as soon as possible. In the middle, with the protection of General Han, I am naturally as stable as Mount Tai."

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Han Kun looked moved, and could not help but bow his head respectfully: "Your Majesty's love, you will definitely swear to die in return!"

Zhu Houzhao motioned Han Kun to get up and take his seat, his eyes narrowed, his body exuded a bit of a breath that no strangers should approach, and he said coldly: "I really can't imagine that my dignified marquis and earls are involved in such a rebellion. Among them. They are really my good ministers!"

Zhu Houzhao has been in this military camp for the past few days, but this does not mean that Zhu Houzhao is ignorant of what is happening in the outside world.

Everyone in the palace did not know the news of his departure from the palace, but Zhu Houzhao summoned the senior management of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the military camp immediately.

After some cleaning by Chu Yi, it goes without saying that Jinyiwei was replaced by Chu Yi as a trustworthy person. Therefore, through Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao was able to control the movements of the capital. Both sides can know clearly.

[First, ask for a monthly pass and give a reward. 】

Chapter 2 I almost couldn't see my great companion! 【[-] more】

Han Kun narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, these chaotic ministers and thieves should really be killed. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, the general will be willing to take down all these chaotic ministers and thieves and present them to His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly and said, "No hurry, no hurry, let me see who is trying to conspire!"

At this moment, a figure strode from the entrance of the big tent, dressed in a python suit, a cloak, and a suit of wind and dust, and came to pay tribute to Zhu Houzhao who was sitting there: "Chen Chu Yi, see Your Majesty!"

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was really stunned when he saw Chu Yi. Although according to the information from the East Factory, Chu Yi arrived in Beijing within a day or two, but Zhu Houzhao really did not expect that Chu Yi would be here. time to appear in front of you.

The moment he saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help trembling slightly, his eyes couldn't help sour, and he said with a slightly nasal trembling: "My companion, I... I almost never see you again!"

Chu Yi got up and nodded at Shao Yuanjie and Han Kun. The two looked at each other when they saw the emperor's reaction, and bowed to Chu Yi and left the tent.

His eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao's bandaged leg, Chu Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward and put his hand on Zhu Houzhao's wrist, the inner breath circulated in Zhu Houzhao's body for a week, and the worried expression on his face relaxed.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, took Chu Yi's hand, and said with a bit of joy on his face: "When my companion comes back, I will feel at ease!"

Chu Yi took a seat, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "It was the minister who was negligent. I never thought that these people would be so mad that even gunpowder could be transported into the palace. If it weren't for His Majesty's great blessings, the minister would regret it too late..."

Zhu Houzhao said with a chuckle, "Don't blame yourself, not to mention you, even I would never have imagined that these people would be so crazy, but I am not bad, I just decided to leave the palace and come to the army, I want to see Look, in this Manchu dynasty, whoever is loyal and who is traitor!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of show on his face, as if to tell Chu Yi whether his move was very wise.

Chu Yi was all too familiar with Zhu Houzhao, and he knew what Zhu Houzhao meant just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression.

With a chuckle, Chu Yi nodded and said, "His Majesty's move is indeed a stroke of genius. It greatly exceeded the expectations of those people. I'm afraid no one would have thought that His Majesty would choose to leave the palace quietly."

Being praised by Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly: "Actually...in fact, I want to see who is loyal and who is traitor is only part of it, and they can send people to assassinate me in the Forbidden City, even Gunpowder can be transported into the palace, I am really worried that they will jump over the wall and assassinate me one after another if they fail to strike. So I took the opportunity to leave the palace and hide in this army."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's expression, Chu Yi sighed in his heart. To be honest, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, was really aggrieved to do this.

The dignified lord of a country was assassinated in the palace, but he had to hide in the barracks to avoid the crisis.

But thinking of the madness of those people, Chu Yi really couldn't guarantee that Zhu Houzhao's worries would happen.

These people first dealt with the queen, tried to murder the future prince, and then tried to assassinate the emperor. It was supposed to be the most secure Forbidden City for the emperor. If other people were in Zhu Houzhao's situation, they wouldn't be much better than Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he clenched his fists and said, "My companion, I really want to kill people, don't you know that not long ago, the dignified Bian Bo Xu Shang actually came to persuade Han Kun in person. In addition to the gift of [-] taels, at that moment I almost couldn't help kicking over the screen and stabbed to death the traitor Xu Shang with a sword."

Said Zhu Houzhao with a bit of a smile: "But in the end, I held back, I am not in a hurry to kill them, I want to see what kind of comrades they have, this time I will kill them all. His head is rolling and blood is flowing!"

Just listening to Zhu Houzhao's words can tell how deeply Zhu Houzhao was stimulated this time.

Chu Yi nodded and said: "Since Your Majesty has this intention, I will help His Majesty to dig out these people one by one, so as to avoid future troubles!"

Zhu Houzhao flicked his sleeves and said, "I will stay in this army for a few more days, so that they can play to their heart's content, otherwise, wouldn't they be very disappointed!"

Chu Yi raised his brows and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful move, but there is one thing Your Majesty wants to know, people are unpredictable, His Majesty can hide for a while, but if it's a long time, even if it's fake, that's fine. To be true, loyalty will change with time."

Hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhu Houzhao was not a fool. He immediately realized that his act of leading snakes out of the hole seemed to be very good, but in fact it was also a big hidden danger.

There are also many loyal and upright ministers in the court. Although it is only a small number, these people are indeed loyal to him.

But precisely because these people are loyal to the imperial court, if Zhu Houzhao does not show up for a long time, I am afraid that he will change from disappearance to death. At that time, the country will not be without a king for a day, and these loyal ministers will inevitably Faced with the choice of standing team.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's changing expression, Chu Yi knew that Zhu Houzhao had already thought of the benefits.

His eyes fell on Chu Yi, and Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said, "My companion, do you want me to return to the palace immediately?"

Chu Yi smiled slightly, shook his head slowly, and said a few words in a low voice, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he gave a high five and praised: "Good idea!"

Forbidden City, Xianxi Palace

As the residence of the Empress Dowager, Xianxi Palace is naturally atmospheric, dignified and elegant.

When later generations mentioned the residence of the Empress Dowager in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the first equivalent was the Cining Palace. However, the Cining Palace was built in the Jiajing period, which means that it will be at least several decades before the Cining Palace will be found in the Forbidden City.

Now the residence of the empress dowager is Xianxi Palace.

Empress Zhang couldn't hide a tired look on her face. The Son of Heaven had been missing for three days. Although Empress Dowager Zhang sent someone to dig almost the entire Forbidden City three feet into the ground, no trace of the Son of Heaven could be found.

Even if it is unacceptable in the heart that the emperor is likely to be killed in the fire of the Qianqing Palace, but no trace of the emperor can be found, even the queen mother's heart gradually sank.

Gu Dayong entered the hall timidly, and saw the Queen Mother sitting there, with a bit of bitterness on her face, she stepped forward and saluted: "This servant has seen the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly raised her head and stared at Gu Dayong, with a look of hope in her eyes: "Gu Dayong, but there is news from the emperor?"

Gu Da shook his head bitterly.

The color of hope in the eyes of the empress dowager turned dim in an instant, and then she said angrily: "Send me to find the emperor, and the Aijia will never spare you!"

"The queen mother, the queen mother, I am overjoyed..."
