The Most Powerful Man in the World

In particular, several elders of the Zhu family scolded Kong Wenshao.

Chu Yi sighed slightly, stretched out his hand to take the token, and threw it out, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice, "The hour has come, execution!"

On this day, from noon to evening, thousands of criminals were beheaded, the executioners changed one after another, and the blood was soaring. Many people who came to join in the fun and watched from afar may have been very excited at first. At the end, each of them looked at the law field that was stained with blood in horror.

After this day, in the capital, the color of Ti Chu changed.

Kong Wenshao, the Duke of Yansheng, fell ill, but he still dragged the sick body and handwritten an order the next day, denouncing the crimes of the Zhu family. People from all over the world were in an uproar.

In the faint hall, Zhu Houzhao sat in it, and the civil and military officials below were lined up on both sides. Chu Yi, dressed in a python suit, stood at the bottom of Zhu Houzhao's left side, below the emperor and above the hundred officials.

Only Gu Da could be heard in a sharp voice: "If there is something to play, I will retreat!"

It has to be said that after some rectification, the civil and military officials no longer dared to underestimate the emperor, especially Zhu Houzhao who used a large number of new officials.

These newly promoted officials can be said to be super-appointed appointments, and they still have a bit of awe for the emperor. In addition, not long ago, he watched Zhu Houzhao swipe the royal pen, and killed hundreds of court officials, even those old officials who held their own identities in the past. No longer dare to underestimate the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at a group of civil and military officials below.

At this moment, an official stepped forward and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the Qianqing Palace was destroyed by a fire, so that His Majesty's bedroom was destroyed.

A fire razed the Qianqing Palace to the ground. Previously, the situation in the DPRK and China had not stabilized. Now that the overall situation of the capital has been determined, the reconstruction of the Qianqing Palace has naturally increased the schedule.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and said: "Wang Shangshu, regarding the rebuilding of the Qianqing Palace, I will allocate [-] taels of silver from the internal funds, and the Ministry of Industry will come up with a plan to try to rebuild the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry came out and respectfully ordered: "I will live up to your majesty's expectations!"

Suddenly, outside Fengtian Hall, an internal servant said sharply: "Report, it is urgent to report eight hundred miles south of the Yangtze River!"

Zhu Houzhao's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Xuan!"

A group of civil and military officials in the DPRK looked towards the entrance of the hall one after another. Generally speaking, the matters that can be reported urgently for [-] miles are important matters related to the safety of the country.

For Daming, even if something happens, it is usually the urgent report from the border towns in the north, and Jiangnan has always been stable, but now there is an urgent report of [-] miles. Confuse.

Soon, a messenger was supported by two Jinwu guards into the hall, and he fell to the ground, and saw that the messenger took out a letter from his arms with trembling hands.

Gu Dayong personally took the letter, checked it, and presented it to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao opened the letter, and his expression changed when his eyes swept away. He slapped the table and said angrily, "Okay, what a King Ning, he actually killed the officials of the court and rebelled!"

When the officials in the DPRK heard the words, their expressions changed. An official said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely necessary to not take it lightly because of the rebellion of the vassal king at this time. I don't know who sent out the urgent report!"

Zhu Houzhao handed the letter to Chu Yi and said, "Jiangxi Inspector Wang Yangming and Jiangxi Governor Chen Tai jointly performed the performance."

Soon the letter was circulated in the hands of several cabinet veterans.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Jiao Fang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Tai and Wang Yangming urgently report that it has been nearly three days since Jiangxi went to the capital. If it is really like a letter between the two If the situation is urgent, I'm afraid that King Ning may have..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. In fact, even if Jiao Fang didn't say it, Zhu Houzhao could guess that King Ning had already left Nanchang City at this time.

After all, according to Wang Yangming and Chen Tai, King Ning held a banquet at the palace three days ago, trapping and killing more than a dozen Jiangxi officials including the Nanchang prefect, the Nanchang garrison, and the Jiangxi general.

Many officials were shocked to learn the contents of the letter one by one.

After all, what King Ning has done is really outrageous. As for the so-called banner of the Qingjun side, everyone knows it well.

For a while, the eyes of all the officials turned to Zhu Houzhao.

Although Zhu Houzhao said that he was very angry, his reaction was not as intense as the officials thought. He could only hear Zhu Houzhao solemnly say: "A few patriarchs will stay with me to discuss matters, and the officials will retreat!"

In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao had changed into his regular clothes at this moment, and sat there, looking calmly at the elders of the pavilion and the governors of the five army governors' mansion who were summoned by the emperor's decree.

These dozen people can be said to be the leaders of civilization and military affairs in the Ming Dynasty. They gathered here now. Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then looked at Chu Yi who was sitting there.

I thought that Chu Yi, who had always been Zhu Houzhao's arm, would react very violently to King Ning's rebellion. However, contrary to their expectations, Chu Yi was sitting there and drinking tea leisurely, as if he did not know King Ning at all. The news of the rebellion is general.

Chen Ding was old-fashioned and upright, and seeing the reaction of the emperor and Chu Yi, he could not help coughing, and said with a bit of urgency: "Your Majesty, the chief officer, the rebellion of King Ning should not be underestimated, and the court must take measures as soon as possible. That's the strategy."

Li Wenchang, the former commander-in-chief of the military governor's office, stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, General Manager, this minister thinks that King Ning is nothing to worry about, and even a mere vassal king dares to rebel. Did you see Zhu Zhixiu rise up? He didn't even get out of Ningxia. After being pacified, the minister expects King Ding Ning to be like Zhu Zhixiu, the thunder is loud, the rain is small, and there is no wind and waves!"

Wang Hua coughed lightly, glanced at Li Wenchang and said, "Captain Li, how can Ningxia's border towns be compared with Jiangnan? You must know that King Ning has always been famous in Jiangnan. The most crucial part of the plan is that it is only a few hundred kilometers away from Nanjing City along the river from Nanchang. If King Ning occupies Nanjing City, it will become a prairie prairie. This disaster is a big disaster. Ah!"

Chu Yi glanced at the governors of the five army governors' mansion. The central army governor's mansion has always been in charge of the British public officer Zhang Mao. It can be said that the five army governors' manor, except for Zhang Mao and a few others, are still somewhat capable. People, it's not that Chu Yi doesn't look down on them, everyone is a vegetarian.

Chapter 2 One hundred thousand aliens enter the Central Plains [[-] more]

If it is not for the shadow of the ancestors, how can these people be able to sit in the high position of the five army governors just because of the ability of the ancestors, and it is precisely because of this that the five army governors' mansion has gradually become a place for the elderly and nobles, and has more control over the army. is getting weaker.

At this moment, Duke Ying was sitting there with squinted eyes, looking like he didn't care about everything. Chu Yi knew just by looking at Duke Ying's reaction. The Duke gave birth to a bit of a rift.

Chu Yi let out a light cough at this moment, and drew everyone's attention to himself. Everyone's expressions froze. For Chu Yi, no one present dared to underestimate him.

It can be said that the people who dare to underestimate Chu Yi, at this moment, either go to the Jiuyou Underworld, or are wanted by the court and go to the end of the world.

Chu Yi chuckled and said: "The British prince is the white jade pillar of my Ming army. I don't know what the old prince has to deal with the rebellion of King Ning?"

Chu Yi went on a killing spree in the army, and dozens of noble children lost their lives because of this, and their heads were hung on the flagpole of the army for several days.

Which one of the officials present did not know this news, and which one did not know, as long as anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu Yi had created a rift with the Xungui Group.

Zhang Mao raised his head and glanced at Chu Yi, then slowly got up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead the army to pacify the chaos of King Ning!"

Zhang Mao's words couldn't help but make all the officials present stunned for a while. After reacting, they all showed a bit of a wry smile. Is this old man talking angry?

Your old man is in his [-]s or [-]s. Although it is said that Yu has a very high prestige in the army, the imperial court has not yet reached the level where an old official like Zhang Mao is sent out to lead the army.

Zhu Houzhao heard the words and coughed lightly: "The British public is very loyal, but there are so many generals in the DPRK, how can a mere King Ning be able to work for the British public!"

Zhang Mao said with a firm look on his face: "Your Majesty must not underestimate King Ning, this time Your Majesty beheaded many officials, nine out of ten of these officials are from Jiangnan, the old minister is only afraid that Jiangnan will change because of this, if so, I'm afraid Most of Jiangnan will change color for it."

When Jiao Fang and the others heard this, their faces also showed worry. They were able to get to where they are today. It can be said that few of the people present were fools.

Even if he doesn't have outstanding ability, his eyesight is still there.

Why did Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi want to dismiss and kill those officials who were closely connected with Jiangnan by taking advantage of Mu Zhai Gong, Jiang Mian and other civil and military officials to force the palace.

On the one hand, Jiang Mian, Xie Qian and others tried to control the election of the emperor, which touched the bottom line of the emperor.

If you see this through, then as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the rebellion of King Ning is no longer a simple rebellion of the vassal.

If it was only King Ning who rebelled, then as Li Wenchang said, King Ning couldn't make any waves at all.As long as one or two competent officials are dispatched to lead the locality, it will take a little time at most to quell the chaos of King Ning.

But now, with King Ning and the huge power group in Jiangnan, Zhang Mao said that it is not impossible for most of Jiangnan to change color.

Jiao Fang looked at Chu Yi, but couldn't see what Chu Yi meant.

Based on Jiao Fang's understanding of Chu Yi, the fact that King Ning raised troops and horses could never be concealed from the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. After all, if he raised several hundred people, he might not be noticed, but King Ning raised tens of thousands of troops. If Jinyiwei and Dongchang didn't even notice this, then the Ming court would just be scattered like this.

Since King Ning's actions could not escape the supervision of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, then with the degree of Chu Yi's control over Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he wouldn't dare to say that he knew everything about King Ning's every move, and he must also know about King Ning's army. Eighty-eight.

With all kinds of thoughts flashing through her mind, Jiao Fang stood up and bowed first to Zhu Houzhao, and then said to Zhang Mao, "Everyone knows that the old prince is loyal to the monarch and the country, but the old prince is old, how can your majesty bear to let him The prince returns to the battlefield with an old body."

Zhang Mao said slowly: "The old man is willing to fight for His Majesty, and wrap the body in horse leather!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a moved expression: "I know in my heart the loyalty of the Lord of England. Although it is important to quell the rebellion of King Ning, this capital cannot be separated from the old prince!"

After appeasing Duke Yingying, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi. Although he said that the two rulers and ministers had already known about King Ning's raising of troops, and they had made various arrangements for this, Zhu Houzhao also knew that King Ning and Jiangnan would not be able to do it. It should not be underestimated. If you are not careful, Daming may lose more than half of Jiangnan.

Outside the imperial study room, a servant suddenly walked into the room quietly, Gu Dayong glanced at it, and hurriedly stepped forward to see that the servant handed a letter to Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong glanced at it with a look of surprise on his face, and quickly walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and presented the letter to Zhu Houzhao.

Whether it was the actions of that servant or Gu Dayong, several officials in the imperial study were watching, and they all guessed what news was in the letter.

After all, if it weren't for extremely important news, those internal servants would not have presented it to the Son of Heaven at this time. Only when it was an urgent matter would they be presented to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, regardless of the time or occasion.

Zhu Houzhao opened the letter and his expression changed greatly.

Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, glanced at a group of civil and military officials, and said slowly: "Everyone, this urgent play is the governor of the five provinces. Yang Yiqing submitted it, and the Tatars sent [-] troops to come straight to my Daming!"

"What! The Tartars are knocking at the gate? Sending [-] troops?"

Yang Yiqing is no stranger to everyone. The rebellion of Zhu Zhixiu was pacified by Yang Yiqing. Later, the emperor added the title of Minister of the Ministry of War to him, but ordered him to take charge of the military power of Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Xuanfu and Datong border and be the governor of the five provinces.

Yang Yiqing once served as the governor of the three sides, and also quelled the Zhu Zhixiu rebellion. Several local rebellions were also quelled by Yang Yiqing. It can be said that he has a strong military ability.

Tatars have always been a frontier of Daming. Since the change of Tumu Fort, Daming has changed from active to passive defense in the confrontation with Tatars and Oaras. Since then, Tatars and Oaras have harassed the border towns of Daming, Xuanfu, Datong and other borders from time to time. The importance of the town's military town is increasingly highlighted.

Zhu Houzhao ordered Yang Yiqing not only to take charge of the military and political affairs of the three sides, but also to hand over important military towns such as Xuanfu and Datong to you, which shows that you have great trust in Yang Yiqing.

Even if the civil and military people present had great confidence in Yang Yiqing's ability, it was an army of [-] Tatars.

Over the years, although the Tatars have been saying that they have invaded from time to time, but more often they have a scale of thousands or tens of thousands of people, and they will return to the grasslands after plundering.

But this time it was different. The Tartars actually dispatched [-] troops. All fools know that the Tartars used so many soldiers and horses, and it was not a simple matter of entering the Ming Dynasty and looting.

Even Zhang Mao, who had a bit of a rift with Chu Yi, looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of shock at this moment. In the battle of Tumu Fort, the previous generation of British public servant Zhang Fu died in the battle. For Zhang Mao, it can be said that he has a deep memory.

Zhang Mao was more sensitive to the Tatar invasion.

Only Zhang Mao could be heard saying solemnly, "Your Majesty, has Yang Yiqing ever said that who will command the troops of the Tartars this time!"

At this moment, Chu Yi sneered a bit at the corner of his mouth and said: "The Great Tartar Khan, the son of Dayan, Prince Barthborough is the vanguard, Dayan Khan is the central army, and the [-]-strong army is divided into two groups and goes straight to Xuan. The two major military cities of Fu and Datong are coming!”

Dayan unified the Tatars and suppressed the Oara. It can be said that he was a generation of heroes on the grasslands. Now Dayan himself leads the army. It can be seen that the Tatar invasion was not as simple as a petty fight.

The faces of the governors of the five military governors' mansions were a little pale, and the elders of the pavilion also frowned and looked worried.

Whether it's King Ning's rebellion or a Tartar invasion, if they didn't come together, then with the strength of the imperial court, they could deal with either side.

However, this time the two broke out at the same time, and even if they had more confidence in the court, all the civil and military officials present were also worried.

Even Zhu Houzhao was a little worried at the moment, but Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi. You must know that the reason why Yang Yiqing was sent to the border town was the suggestion of Chu Yi. .

But whether it was Chu Yi or Zhu Houzhao who sent Yang Yiqing to sit in the border town, they also hoped that Yang Yiqing could clear the border town and reorganize the border army, but they never thought that the Tatars would suddenly invade.

Chu Yi tapped lightly on the desk table, thoughts flew in his mind, and gradually the corners of Chu Yi's mouth showed a little smile.

Noticing the change in Chu Yi's expression, especially at this moment when everyone looked worried, and only Chu Yi showed a little smile, everyone was naturally extremely puzzled.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi with a light cough and said, "My companion, I'm going to be so anxious, how can you still laugh!"

Hearing this, Chu Yi smiled slightly, glanced at the officials lightly, and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I just thought of a possibility."

Jiao Fang couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Mr. Director, why don't you talk about it!"

Chu Yi said slowly: "Don't you think it's strange, the Tartars don't send troops early and don't send troops late, but the time of sending troops is almost the same as when King Ning raised troops..."

Many people could not help but shrink their eyes and take a breath when they heard the words, Wang Hua exclaimed: "What, King Ning he... He actually dares to collude with the Tartars. Is he trying to lead aliens to invade the Central Plains?"

Chen Ding said angrily: "King Ning is a descendant of Taizu, and I, Daming, and Meng Yuan's remnants are incompatible, how dare he..."
