The Most Powerful Man in the World

At any rate, Duke Muzhai also has great prestige and popularity in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, Duke Muzhai also likes to hold some poetry meetings every day, so many literati have visited Duke Muzhai.

Therefore, it is not surprising that some people in the crowd recognize Xie Qian.

"Oh my god, this... This turned out to be Duke Muzhai. Chu Yi killed Duke Muzhai..."

Some people on the side could not help but their eyes lit up, all of them looked at the scholar and said, "Mushroom Master? Who is this?"

The scholar seemed to be very resentful about Chu Yi's killing of Duke Muzhai, so he immediately explained to many people: "You may not know about Duke Muzhai, but Xie Qian, who is as famous as Li Dongyang and Liu Jian, is equally famous. Elder Xie, don't you all know?"

"Oh, it turned out to be Xie Qian Xie Ge Lao!"

"I remembered, Xie Qian, Xie Ge Lao, also called Mu Zhai, God, how could Xie Ge Lao be in Jiang Ge Lao's mansion, and how could Qi Qiao bleed to death!"

The scholar gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "It must have been Chu Yi who killed Duke Muzhai. His old man has worked hard for me all his life. He finally got an official position. Seeing that he was able to take care of his life, he was killed by the castrated thief Chu Yi... …”

In the crowd, many scholars saw Xie Qian's seven orifices bleeding to death, and they couldn't accept it in their hearts.

Chu Yi, Cao Shaoqin, and others are all sharp-eyed people. It may be impossible for them to hear the indignant words of the literati among the common people, but the eyes of the common people have gradually changed. can be felt.

As a scholar, standing in the crowd, it can be said that you can tell at a glance, after all, the temperament is obviously different.

Cao Shaoqin snorted coldly: "The Governor, these people must be slandering the Governor in private!"

Chu Yi just glanced at the people around him calmly and said, "It's just some ignorant people, don't you want to have the same knowledge as them?"

It's not that Chu Yi thinks he is superior and doesn't take these people to heart. It's just that these people are limited by their own vision and don't have much judgment on outside information at all.

Fortunately, these people are just joining in the fun, and they are just trying to make a fool of themselves. It's okay to say two bad things about Chu Yi behind their backs, but they really want them to deal with Chu Yi. They dare not say [-]%, at least. Among thousands of people, it may not be possible to find one person with that courage.

Cao Shaoqin is not as magnanimous as Chu Yi, he doesn't care, he stepped forward, snorted coldly, and said sharply, "Listen to me!"

Cao Shaoqin used his internal force when he broke down. Within a radius of several hundred meters, everyone's ears could not help buzzing, and everyone couldn't help but look at Cao Shaoqin.

I saw Cao Shaoqin pointed at the corpse of Duke Muzhai and said, "You can see clearly, this is Xie Qian, the former cabinet minister of several dynasties, who is admired by all people and has a very high reputation."

Everyone looked at Cao Shaoqin puzzled. Cao Shaoqin praised Muzhai so much. Isn't he mocking Chu Yi?

But Cao Shaoqin's voice changed, and he sneered: "But it is such a gentleman Muzhai, who is loyal to the country and the people on weekdays, and shows his loyalty and patriotism. He actually planned to assassinate the emperor himself, and a fire burned down the Qianqing Palace. Hong Fu Qitian's words, I'm afraid this old thief has already killed him!"

"what!"

"My God!"

"How is this possible? It turns out that the fire in the Forbidden City was planned by Xie Qian!"

"Assassinating the emperor, this is the big crime of punishing the Nine Clan!"

"It's no wonder that even the governor of Chu, who has been silent for a long time and has not taken action for a long time, has personally stepped forward. His feelings are to capture Xie Qian, the former chief assistant of the cabinet who assassinated the emperor!"

Many people showed a look of sudden realization.

Among the crowd, the literati who had fought for Xie Qian before listened to Cao Shaoqin's words, as if struck by lightning, and almost instinctively believed that it was Cao Shaoqin's bloody mouth.

But the people around them didn't have time to listen to their explanations. They actually believed Cao Shaoqin's words one by one, and immediately changed their attitudes. They criticized Xie Qian at the same time. The speed of this attitude change was astonishing. .

It is precisely these people who hear that the wind is the rain, so Chu Yi has no interest in getting to know these people in general. If it is too noisy, send some people to spread some rumors to muddy the water.

Just like in the previous capital city, those literati spent a lot of time and tried to pour dirty water on him, so that the people in the capital thought that he was the biggest traitor in history, so he sent people to fabricate it. Some shockingly exaggerated rumors spread, and it is conceivable that the people in Beijing all at once listened to all the rumors about him as jokes.

How could Chu Yi not be clear about the importance of public opinion? It can be said that he knew better than anyone that running a newspaper would not work at all. Even if he recruited people to read Dibao, Chu Yi would be killed by himself even if he had a flash in his mind. .

It's really stupid to run a newspaper, that's what gives people a sharp weapon.

There are not a few generations of hard work to cultivate a large number of scholars who can read and write, and have the same aspirations as themselves. If you want to run a newspaper, you should wash and sleep.

Chu Yi would rather devote his energy to mastering military power than to think about running a newspaper to compete for public opinion, unless he can calm down and spend decades of hard work, the key point is that he simply doesn't have that much time to do this. Instead of recruiting a group of people who obviously disagree with him to start some newspapers and compete for public opinion, he will only give the enemy a weapon in the end. He would rather not use this big killer.

Newspapers are indeed a good thing to control public opinion, the key point is that he is simply not suitable for his own identity to run it!

Different identities, different positions, naturally different results.

If Chu Yi is a member of the scholar, he wants to stand up as the emperor, and if he targets the eunuchs in the court, Chu Yi will definitely sacrifice the big killer of the newspaper without saying a word, and keep the will of the emperor and the eunuchs from the capital. .

With a squeak, when all the family members of Jiang's house were locked up, the gate of the house was slammed shut, the seal was pasted on the gate, and a team of Jinyi guards stayed behind to guard.

On top of the tall horse, Cao Shaoqin drove the horse forward, trailing Chu Yi by half a position and said, "Professor, where are we going next?"

Seeing Cao Shaoqin's excited look, it was obvious that Cao Shaoqin was very interested in the looting of his family.

Chu Yi glanced at Cao Shaoqin lightly and said, "Follow me to the British government's residence!"

[Well, the second update, [-] words have been sent, there is something to delay today, the two updates are guaranteed to be stable, the monthly ticket please! 】

Chapter 1 Little Fox and Old Fox [[-] More]

Cao Shaoqin, who was originally excited, was suddenly stunned when he heard the words, with a look of horror on his face, and exclaimed: "The British government?"

It's no wonder that Cao Shaoqin was so shocked. What kind of status is the British prince's line in Daming? It can be said that they are separated from the country, and they are the head of Daming's nobles. Several generations of British princes, which one is not even the emperor. All have to be treated with courtesy.

It can be said that unless the British government raises troops to rebel, and there is real evidence, otherwise, neither the royal family nor the nobles will agree to move the British government.

The British eunuchs had a detached status above the Ming Dynasty. Even the most powerful eunuchs, such as Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, would shy away from the British eunuchs, and they would not provoke them if they could.

Now that Chu Yi wants to talk about going to the British government, how can Cao Shaoqin not be surprised.

Looking at Cao Shaoqin lightly, Chu Yi shouted, and the horse under him immediately ran. Cao Shaoqin, who had reacted, couldn't help shouting at the Dongchang Fanzi behind him: "What are you doing, why don't you follow me? I'll follow!"

Cao Shaoqin gritted his teeth, he didn't care whether he was British or not, he was Chu Yi's confidant anyway, not to mention dealing with the British.

The Dongchang troops, Jin Yiwei, except for some of the people who stayed to guard the Jiang Mansion and waited for the decree of raiding the house, all the others followed Chu Yi.

The people around were shocked, and soon they were all excited like chicken blood.

"Oh my God, the Governor of Chu has mainly attacked the British government!"

"That's the British government that is on a break with the country, how could he dare..."

On the contrary, those scholars who were mixed in the crowd said with surprise: "Hahaha, Chu Yi is looking for death, even the British government dares to move."

"Offends people from the world, and now he has to move the British government, the head of the nobles, is he going to cut himself off from the civil and military officials of the court?"

There are many high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty, but there is only one British government. Although it is very exciting to see Chu Yi copying high-ranking officials and powerful families, but if you think about it, how can the mere high-ranking officials and powerful people be the same as the first honorable person in Daming. The home is comparable to the British government.

When they thought that Chu Yi was going to seize the British government, I don't know how many people were so excited that they seemed to be beaten by chicken blood. Go straight to the direction of the British government.

In the corner, several strong men with a strong aura also heard the conversation between Chu Yi and Cao Shaoqin, and their expressions changed to a look of horror on their faces.

Seeing Chu Yi and the others leaving, the men looked at each other, and the first one said, "Chu Yi is actually going to take action against the Duke's Mansion. This matter is of great importance, and it is necessary to quickly communicate with the Duke of the country!"

The other person couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Chu Yi's disappearing figure: "I'm afraid it's too late, Chu Yi and the others are running on horseback, and I can't wait at all..."

However, the man at the head shook his head and said: "If you have time, you should go back to the house immediately, and I will go ahead!"

As soon as he spoke, he saw that the man's figure was more than ten feet away, and the man disappeared into a building in the blink of an eye.

A few men froze for a moment, with a look of surprise on their faces: "Why did you forget that the old prince of the corps chief, Zeng Meng, valued him, and gave him a light exercise method, plus taking shortcuts, he will definitely be able to catch up before Chu Yi. Go to the Imperial Palace!"

Originally, the Empress Dowager issued an decree to call Beijing Chinese military officials to preside over the great court meeting. It can be said that unless there is any unexpected situation, any official should participate.

However, Duke Ying did not attend the meeting due to his old age and occasional feeling of cold, but sent his grandson Zhang Lun there.

Naturally, the Queen Mother would not force the Duke of England to attend the great court meeting, so it is said that at this moment, some of the honorable honors were left in the palace by the emperor, and some honorable honors had just left the palace, so Zhang Lun was left behind.

The British government naturally sent a lot of people to watch the movement of the Forbidden City. When Dongchang and Jinyiweiti rode out, the British government received the news.

Just in the British public house, in the pavilion in the garden, the British prince sat there with a leisurely face, looking at the steward in front of him.

The steward stood in front of the British public, with a straight body, even in the costume of a servant, it was still difficult to conceal his military aura, which shows that the steward must have come from the military.

The British public has always been in charge of the Beijing camp. From the first generation of British public Zhang Fu, he was the military commander. Such a noble family, the servants in the family are not comparable to ordinary noble families, and they are all elected from the army. A veteran of a hundred battles.

"Guo Gong, there is no definite news in the palace, but Dongchang and Jinyiwei are coming out. I don't know which side has the dominant power in this great court meeting!"

With the ability of the British government, how can it not be seen that this great court meeting is directly related to who will be in charge of the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades.

Either the empress dowager suddenly became stronger, and with the support of some people including Jiao Fang, they suppressed Jiang Mian, Duke Mu Zhai and other people who were trying to change the sky, or Jiang Mian and others forced the palace to succeed and change the sky smoothly.

As long as the general situation of the great court meeting has been set, then Dongchang and Jinyiwei will naturally fall into the hands of the winner. Therefore, it is impossible to judge which side will win if only Dongchang and Jinyiwei are dispatched.

The British Prince had a leisurely look, sipping tea and smiled slowly: "What do I have to do with the situation in the courtroom, the reason why this old man refuses to participate in the grand court meeting due to illness is not to take our British Lordship out of this turbulent vortex. Take it out!"

The steward's face was full of admiration and said: "The old man is really far-sighted, as the saying goes, if you don't do well, do more and do more wrong, especially when it is related to the replacement of the emperor, the British government is involved in it, and success will be unsuccessful. , if I lose, I have experienced it, it is better to laugh at the changes like an old prince, I will stand still!"

Stroking his beard, the British prince nodded and said: "The British government is already extremely rich, and there is really no need to participate in such matters, so the old man told Lun'er, above the court, do not say a word, just watch, don't Say!"

The steward smiled slightly and said, "The young man is the future British man set by the state man. If the young man will go to court on behalf of the old man, he can give the royal face and make my British man aloof. , how wonderful!"

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "You old guy, when did you learn Wen Crepe!"

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and I saw a servant hurriedly approaching Zhang Mao with a salute: "I have seen Guo Gong!"

Zhang Mao nodded and said, "You don't need to be polite, let's talk if you have something to say!"

The servant looked righteous and said: "Go back to the country, just now, we sent people to report, Chu Yi, the general manager, led the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to the old mansion of Jiang Miange!"

Zhang Mao was stunned for a moment, then took a long breath and sighed: "Xie Qian, Xie Qian, it seems that you are still one move away from chess!"

As the first noble family that has been rooted in the Forbidden City for hundreds of years, the British government is definitely a towering tree with intertwined roots. With the power of the British government, it is not difficult to grasp the whereabouts of Xie Qian. Naturally, I know thanks. Settle down in Jiang Mian's mansion.

What made Zhang Mao sigh was that when everyone thought that Chu Yi was far away from the capital, and it was still a few days before it was possible to return to Beijing, Chu Yi quietly returned to Beijing.

Zhang Mao even suspected that Chu Yi had already returned to the capital, but he just refrained from showing up. Now that Chu Yi has appeared in front of people, if there is no accident, it must be at the big court meeting, and the overall situation has been decided.

The steward standing on the side waved his hand, motioned the servant to step back, looked at Zhang Mao and said, "Master Guo, it seems that Xie Qian and the others have lost this time!"

Zhang Mao chuckled and said, "Yes, that old fox Xie Qian has been calculating for a lifetime, but when he was at the age of longevity, he fell into a big somersault in the hands of a little fox!"

I saw Zhang Mao slowly get up, and the steward on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Mao's body, and he heard Zhang Mao sigh: "Old man, as the so-called new generation replaces the old, we old guys, it is time to Let go!"

Listening to Zhang Mao's sigh, the steward couldn't help but say: "Old country's elders should be strong, but it's a little too early to let go of power at this time!"

Stroking his beard, Zhang Mao smiled and said, "It's good to be early, it's good to be early!"

The majestic British mansion, with an open front of the mansion, on the flat ground paved with large bluestones, can accommodate hundreds of people.

Two stone lions weighing several thousand kilograms are located on both sides of the gate, and several servants stand on both sides of the gate full of energy.

"Shut up!"

With a shout, he saw Chu Yi standing on the horse, looking at the gate of the British government from a distance.

Behind him, Cao Shaoqin led a group of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, a group of hundreds of people, and they occupied a large area in front of the mansion in the blink of an eye.

The servants at the gate of the mansion couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Chu Yi. It was not the first time that Chu Yi came to the British mansion, so these servants were no strangers.

To be able to guard the gate of the British government, if nothing else, at least the ability to know people is still necessary.

Chu Yi stepped forward and said to several servants, "Chu Yi is here to visit the old prince, please pass the message!"
