The Most Powerful Man in the World

Chu Yi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "However, I suggest that your majesty invite the queen mother to preside over the great court meeting tomorrow, so that all the Chinese and military officials in Beijing will be present."

Seeing that Chu Yi agreed to his proposal, and also proposed to let Tianhou preside over the great court meeting, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a bit of excitement: "The big companion is worthy of being the big companion, but I am looking forward to it. How will the Chinese military officials react when they see me!"

A burst of footsteps came from outside, and Gu Dayong walked into the room with a large pile of memorials in his hands.

Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi's eyes naturally fell on these memorials, only to hear Gu Dayong say: "Your Majesty, Director Chu, these memorials are presented to the Queen Mother by the Cabinet and the Si Li Supervisor today, and the Queen Mother ordered the old slave to send them. Approval to His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.

As Zhu Houzhao opened the memorials, Zhu Houzhao's face became a little difficult to look at. After reading the stack of memorials, Zhu Houzhao's face was so gloomy that water almost dripped.

With a bang, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table with a slap: "Damn, this is my civil and military officials, I haven't died yet, they will force the queen mother to choose a new king, they want to doing what!"

After all, it was announced that Zhu Houzhao was in a coma. Generally speaking, unless the emperor really died, few people would dare to propose a new emperor.

However, among these memorials, there are actually many important officials in the court. These people wrote letters to the queen mother one by one, and looking at the posture, they were quite impatient.

No wonder Zhu Houzhao reacted so much. After all, in Zhu Houzhao's view, these officials were so eager to elect a new ruler, they simply wished that he would die soon.

Even with the premise that he concealed the facts, Zhu Houzhao was greatly disappointed by the response of these officials. Even if he was in a coma, he was not dead yet.

This made Zhu Houzhao have to wonder, if one day, he was really in a coma for a few days, would he become the emperor after waking up, or that he would die directly in the coma and become the emperor.

Chu Yi casually flipped through a few memorials and said with a slight smile, "Why does Your Majesty need to have the same knowledge as these people? Isn't that right? Since they begged the Queen Mother to preside over the great court meeting, isn't this right in our minds?"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, nodded slowly and said, "What my partner said is that I just happened to agree with them!"

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiang Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Dayong, if you go to report to the Empress Dowager Ming, you said that I asked her to pass down orders to civil and military officials and to preside over the great court meeting tomorrow!"

Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Old slave, go here."

After Gu Dayong left, he saw Chu Yi handing one of the documents to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please read it!"

Looking at Chu Yi in doubt, Zhu Houzhao took a few memorials handed over by Chu Yi, and after reading it, he couldn't help laughing: "Do they think that I really want to die, I have said it before, The Zhu family's assassination of the emperor cannot be forgiven, but these people still jointly signed the letter, do you really think that I don't exist?"

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the capital has been very strange, as if there are endless waves under the calm sea.

On this day, a decree in the palace came out, which immediately shocked the civil and military officials who were concerned about every move in the palace.

The Empress Dowager passed down an decree that all civil and military officials in Beijing should enter the palace tomorrow to participate in the great court meeting presided over by the Empress Dowager.

In Jiao Fang's mansion, dozens of officials couldn't help but focus on Fang's mansion, and the expressions of these people were a little nervous.

They were all brought up by Chu Yi, with Chu Yi's brand on them, and with Chu Yi's deterrence, these officials can be said to occupy most of the important positions in the DPRK, but their foundation is unstable after all, once they support them If something happened to Chu Yi or the Son of Heaven, they would definitely be the first to be unlucky.

During this period of time, rumors were flying all over the capital, and the emperor died for a while, and the emperor fell into a coma for a while, which naturally made people feel uneasy.

Now, the queen mother has actually announced her intention to preside over the grand court meeting. In the eyes of many officials, this move almost confirmed the rumors not long ago.

If there was no accident in the emperor, how could the queen mother hold a grand meeting? Since the queen mother was forced to hold a grand meeting, it can only be explained that the emperor had an accident.

Jiao Fang actually didn't know too much, but as the representative of the eunuch party, Jiao Fang naturally wanted to stabilize the emotions of the crowd.

He only heard Jiao Fang coughing lightly: "Everyone, although there is a decree from the palace, it does not mean that the emperor has really had an accident. Isn't it absurd that everyone is in chaos.

An official couldn't help but smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "It's not that we are in a mess, it's really the current situation, we have to think more about it."

Jiao Fang waved his hand and said, "Even if you are anxious, it is useless. The Governor does not know where to go. What is going on with Your Majesty, you can find out if you want to come to the court meeting tomorrow, but no matter what, we must stand firm."

Compared with the panic in Jiao Fang's mansion, Jiang Mian's mansion gathered a number of civil and military officials, and the faces of these officials were all excited.

On weekdays, they were forced by Chu Yi's power, so they could only be cautious, and they didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction with Chu Yi.

It is naturally impossible to say that these people are not sullen in their hearts, but under the threat of Chu Yi's fierce name, they dare not show the slightest thoughts at all.

But now, these people no longer need to hide their resentment.

A waiter's face was full of excitement, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not in vain for me to bear the humiliation and burden, and now I finally keep the clouds open to see the moon, it's really an eye-opener, and the drowsy lord has finally died..."

Jiang Mian couldn't help coughing lightly when he heard the words. If anyone who had a heart heard these words, once they reached the emperor, it would definitely be a death sentence.

[The second update is sent, continue to code!There will be one more in a while. 】

Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Two Changes in the Great Court Meeting [3 Changes]

When Zhu Shilang heard Jiang Mian's light cough, he couldn't help stroking his beard and smiled: "Jiang Ge is too careful, among all the colleagues present, which one is not hating the thief's shareholding? Have you wronged him?"

Jiang Mian couldn't help showing a bit of a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty is only deceived by the robbers. Now that His Majesty has passed away, you still have to stay a little bit more eloquent."

Everyone looked at each other and heard a censor say: "Everyone, the Queen Mother will preside over the grand meeting tomorrow, it is almost certain that Her Majesty is dead, but everyone should not forget that there is one more person, if this person is not removed, he will surely succeed. I'm waiting for a heartbreak."

Jiang Mian nodded slowly and said: "What Master Zhao said is very true. If the old man expected it to be good, the big trouble that Master Zhao said was the thief Chu Yi."

Zhao Yushi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is the castrated thief Chu Yi. Fortunately, the castrated thief has left the capital. Otherwise, I am afraid that things will not be so smooth."

An official next to him sighed softly: "Although this old man wishes Chu Yi, the robber, to die without a place to be buried, I have to admit that Chu Yi still has the means and ability, but unfortunately he has a tendency to kill. , reviled by all the people."

Zhao Yushi looked at Jiang Mian and said, "At the meeting tomorrow, the Queen Mother must be forced to issue an decree, seize the power of Chu Yi's eunuch, take the opportunity to control the capital, and then order to kill Chu Yi, so I Wait until you can have a new king with peace of mind!"

Mr. Mu Zhai, who had been sitting there and didn't speak much, got up slowly at this moment.

As Mr. Muzhai got up, the eyes of everyone present fell on Mr. Muzhai. Although Duke Muzhai was an official, his prestige was higher than that of anyone present.

Seeing Duke Muzhai getting up, everyone naturally looked at Duke Muzhai.

Xie Qian glanced at the crowd, and said slowly, "Everyone, I won't say much about the extras, and I have done what I have to do. It all depends on the grand meeting tomorrow. Whether the big event can be accomplished, the old man is here. I'll ask you all here!"

Saying that, Xie Qian went down to worship the crowd.

The crowd hurriedly avoided, how could they dare to receive such a gift.

When Xie Qian was seated, everyone took their seats. One of the officials said: "Muzhaigong, King Xingxian is sick, do I really want to support King Xingxian?"

Xie Qian smiled and said, "King Xingxian is sick, isn't it a good thing for you all?"

When everyone heard the words, they were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Emperors are often sick, so naturally they, as ministers, can also share more power from the emperor. If it is a healthy and energetic emperor who manages the government diligently, doesn't it mean that they will be subject to the extremes of the emperor. Is it a big constraint?

On the contrary, he was a sick emperor, so naturally he didn't have much energy to deal with the affairs of the state. In this way, the affairs of the state would naturally be handled by them.

A light flashed in Zhao Yushi's eyes, and he looked at Xie Qian with admiration and said: "Muzhaigong really has foresight, I can't wait!"

Xie Qian sat there with a smile on his face. His plan was not in front of him. Why was King Xingxian selected by him? After all, it was not because King Xingxian was sick. It doesn’t matter if the king is not an emperor, at least he can live for a few more years, but once he becomes an emperor, he can live for three or two years. The less than ten-year-old son, Zhu Houjun.

Zhu Houjun was the later Emperor Jiajing, but he was only a half-old child at the moment. When the young master approached the court, he naturally dominated the weak and strong. It can be said that Xie Qian's calculation was related to several emperors, and the next few decades.So it is no exaggeration to say that he is an old fox.

Even the officials present were most likely to realize that Xie Qian chose King Xingxian as the new monarch because King Xingxian was sick, but no one realized that Xie Qian even had the young son of King Xingxian in it. .

The night passed, but I don't know how many secrets were covered up in this dark night.

A red sun rises slowly, and a new day begins.

People in the capital were surprised to find that there were many more official sedan chairs on the streets, and these sedan chairs went straight to the Forbidden City one by one.

Those who are well-informed have already obtained the news early, and they show off the news they have obtained to the people around them.

"I don't know, the Queen Mother sent a decree to convene all the officials in the capital to hold a grand meeting, so these adults rushed to the Forbidden City one by one!"

"No, shouldn't the emperor personally preside over this great meeting, why did the queen mother come forward?"

Many people showed doubts.

The man said with a complacent face: "Don't you know that rumor? Your Majesty is afraid that he is really sick. Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother preside over the grand meeting..."

Many people showed horror.

There are many smart people in the capital, and many people subconsciously think that they have seen the truth.

At this time, the palace gate has not yet been opened, but before the palace gate, a large number of Chinese military officials have gathered early.

One by one, these officials were neatly dressed and beastly dressed, and at this time, they were subconsciously gathering together with their close officials to chat in a low voice.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As for the other part, there were nearly a hundred people, accounting for almost [-] to [-]% of all officials, but they were headed by Jiang Mian and others.

At this moment, these officials were all arrogant, and when they looked at Jiao Fang and others, they couldn't help showing ridicule and disdain in their eyes.

If the emperor really died, then after today, Jiao Fang and others will definitely be unlucky.

In addition, it was the group with the largest number of officials present, and these officials were officials who remained neutral in the DPRK and China.

At this moment, at least hundreds of officials are gathered here, and there are also a steady stream of officials coming from all around.

If it is an ordinary early court, it is natural that so many officials cannot come, but this time it is a grand court meeting, especially the Queen Mother personally decreed that in the capital, officials above the seventh rank must come, so the place is There were at least hundreds of people gathered at the gate of the palace.

As the palace gate slowly opened, a group of officials slowly walked into the Forbidden City and ran towards Fengtian Temple.

Fengtian Hall was built during the Yongle period, renamed Huangji Hall in Jiajing years, and Taihe Hall in Qing Dynasty.

Fengtian Hall is where the Ming and Qing dynasties held court meetings, also known as Jinluan Hall.

A group of civil and military officials slowly walked into the huge Fengtian Hall with solemn expressions. Even if the spacious hall could accommodate hundreds of people, it would not appear crowded.

Wen and Wu were lined up on both sides, and it didn't take long before they saw a team of servants and maids slowly flanking the Empress Dowager Luan, and the imperial guards in the palace guarded them.

The empress dowager in full costume walked slowly into the Fengtian Hall, and then, under the attention of the ministers of civil and military affairs, the empress dowager slowly ascended the royal steps, but sat down on a throne next to the emperor's throne.

The emperor died, and the queen mother presided over the great court meeting. She was qualified to sit on the throne, but the queen mother sat on the side.

Although it is said that many civil and military ministers have doubts in their hearts when they see such a situation, but after the queen mother was seated, the servants who accompanied the queen mother said sharply: "All the ministers bow down!"

The ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty slowly bowed to the queen mother: I wait to see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old!

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and said with a flick of her hand: "All the ministers are exempt from the ceremony!"

A group of civil and military people gave a big ceremony, and then slowly got up and looked solemnly at the queen mother who was sitting there.

Only the Queen Mother said slowly: "Ai's family is approaching the court today, what is the important thing for the Qing family!"

The critical moment has come. In an instant, the entire Fengtian Temple can be said to be silent, so quiet that you can almost hear your own breathing.

But soon, Jiang Mian, who was standing among the officials, glanced at several of them.

Those officials received Jiang Mian's eyes, and one of them stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Report to the Queen Mother, I have something to announce!"

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said, "The Qing family, please speak!"

This official was Yushi Zhao who appeared at Jiang Mian's mansion, only to hear Yushi Zhao solemnly say: "I heard that Your Majesty has been in a coma for several days. Freedom is blessed by the gods, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and your majesty has no children under his knees, so that the position of the east palace is vacant, so that the people of the court and Chinese warriors are panicked. heart of!"

Saying that, Zhao Yushi fell to the ground.

Only Zhao Yushi's voice echoed in the hall, and the surroundings were silent.

The queen mother sat there with no expression on her face. No one could see the emotions of the queen mother. It took a while to hear the queen mother's voice indifferently: "Everyone, do you have anything to say?"

At this moment, Jiao Fang saw Jiang Mian and the others' faces showing some color, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, stepped forward, and respectfully said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, this minister thinks that Zhao Yushi's remarks are really treasonous words, please also ask. The empress dowager will not be punished severely, only in this way can the heart of Chinese martial arts be stabilized in the court."
