The Most Powerful Man in the World

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Where are those Jin Yiwei people now?"

Cao Shaoqin said: "Because the governor sent people to warn Wang Yangming, so far the thirteen guards of Jinyiwei have not found an opportunity to start, but our people found that the people of Jinyiwei seem to have contacted a group of bandits. If there is no accident, after Wang Yangming leaves the city , Jin Yiwei's people are about to start."

Yang Shen had a worried look on his face, but when he saw Chu Yi sitting there with a calm expression, Yang Shen secretly warned himself that at the same age, he was inferior to Chu Yi in terms of knowledge and calmness. Too many, and at the same time, I secretly made up an idea.

"It seems that even if they want to start, it will have to wait until tomorrow. In this case, everyone is tired from traveling all these days, so let's take a rest here today."

His eyes fell on Yang Shen, and when he saw Yang Shen's expression of hesitating to speak, Chu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Is there anything you want to say to Chu?"

Yang Shen gritted his teeth, looked at Chu Yi with a serious face and said: "Chu Governor, Yang has a request, and I also ask the Governor to agree."

Slightly curious, Chu Yi couldn't help looking at Yang Shen and said, "Oh, why is it necessary to be so polite with Xiu? If Chu can do it, he will naturally not refuse."

As soon as Yang Shen opened his mouth, Chu Yi was taken aback: "I also ask the Governor of Chu to accept Yang as a disciple, and Yang Shen is willing to worship Master Chu!"

Even with Chu Yi's determination to listen to Yang Shen's words, he couldn't help being stunned, looked at Yang Shen in amazement, and said after a while, "You should know Chu's identity!"

"Yang Shen knows."

I saw Yang Shen looking at Chu Yi with a firm face.

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth twitched slightly and said: "Since you know the identity of the governor, you should know that once you worship me, you will be regarded as the running dog of the eunuch for countless literati. If you are the only one, that's all. There is also a family, your father, mother, relatives and friends may be cut off from you because of this..."

Yang Shen's face showed a bit of daze, obviously his decision just now was a little impulsive, and after listening to Chu Yi's words, his heart was faintly shaken.

Seeing Yang Shen's reaction in his eyes, Chu Yi stood up and patted Yang Shen's shoulder: "I'm not suitable to be your teacher, but there is one person who is suitable, so I can get a good night's sleep, tomorrow morning, I'll take you with me Go see him!"

Seeing that Yang Shen, who was not thinking about it, walked into the guest room to rest, Chu Fang appeared beside Chu Yi for some reason and handed a secret letter to Chu Yi: "Supervisor, old letter from Jiao Ge!"

Chu Yi opened the secret letter, glanced at it, and the contents of the letter could be seen in his eyes. Although it was only a few hundred words, Chu Yi could imagine the terrifying agitation in the capital today through those hundreds of words. vortex.

On the third day after the Songyang bloody murder, the news went straight to the capital, causing a huge uproar.

In the house of Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the number of visitors in the past two days has increased several times.

In Liu Jin's mansion, the members of Liu Jin's small group headed by Jiao Fang gathered together. Not long ago, when he received the news of Chu Yi's murder in Songyang Academy, Liu Jin was so excited that he almost danced and cheered.

It only took a day. When a confidant in the East Factory presented a few letters, Liu Jin's mood took a turn for the worse. At this time, he had a gloomy face, which made the atmosphere in the living room depressed. a lot.

Liu Yu coughed lightly and said to Liu Jin: "Recently, Baiguan contacted the chief assistant Li Dongyang and wanted to jointly play His Majesty, in order to eliminate the traitor Chu Yi, in order to reassure the hearts of scholars all over the world, in this way, Chu Yi, this confidant, will go away soon, and I am very happy. That's right, why bother?"

Shi Yiwen stroked his beard and nodded again and again: "What Liu Ge said is very true, Chu Yi is really daring, and even dares to make the Songyang bloody case..."

"enough!"

Liu Jin's sharp voice suddenly sounded, which only startled Shi Yiwen, Liu Yu and others.

With a gloomy face, Liu Jin glared at Shi Yiwen and Liu Yu, then looked at Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian, sighed in his heart, and finally said to Jiao Fang: "Elder Jiao Ge, take a look at these letters."

A little eunuch next to him hurriedly sent some letters on the table to Jiao Fang's case. After reading them one by one, Jiao Fang stroked his beard and sighed leisurely: "If the old man expected, these people really mean drunkards. Not drinking!"

Liu Jin's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Elder Ge also thinks that Li Dongyang and the others want to take the opportunity to make Songyang's murder case bigger, and then bring down this master?"

Jiao Fang did not directly answer Liu Jin's question, but looked at Liu Jin and said, "Enxiang might as well think about it, do Chu Yi and Enxiang have the same identity?"

Slightly stunned, Liu Jin was also a wise man. He nodded in thought and said, "Yes, this master and Chu Yi are both eunuchs in the big inner circle, and it is only because of the emperor's trust that he has the power today."

Jiao Fang asked again: "Chu Yi and Enxiang, who is below one person and above ten thousand people, who is the most hated by those people?"

With a bang, a murderous intent flashed across Liu Jin's face, slapped the coffee table beside him with a slap, and said in a sharp and sinister voice: "As expected, the contents of the letter are true, that Chen Qi who killed a thousand knives, Our family just wanted him to become an official. He actually plotted against our family. Chu Yi killed him well. Even if Chu Yi didn't kill him, our family wanted him to die without a burial. To deal with Chu Yi, it is even more necessary to bring down our family!"

Chapter 52 Where is my great companion Chu!

In fact, Liu Jin can't be blamed for thinking too much. Even if Chen Qi just wanted to plot against Chu Yi at first, but after the bloody case broke out, which of the officials who lost their power because of Liu Jin was not a human being.

Such a good opportunity, it is rare for Chu Yi to hand over a knife. If it is only used to get rid of Chu Yi, wouldn't it be too overkill?

It wasn't that Chu Yi pitted Liu Jin, but the development of the situation forced Liu Jin to fight with those who had been beaten with blood and medicine, and almost didn't roll up his sleeves and ripped Liu Jin down from the high-ranking [-] people. Official fight.

Several letters circulated in the hands of Liu Yu and Sun Cong. After reading the letters, Sun Cong and others' faces became extremely ugly.

After all, they were able to get to where they are today, at least not a fool. They were just too excited before, but now they have come to their senses, they naturally know that this is not Chu Yi's trouble, but Liu Jin's trouble.

Jiao Fang suddenly stood up and said to Liu Jin, "En quite quickly entered the palace and told Ming Zi that not only did the governor of Chu have no faults in this matter, but he actually made contributions!"

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiao Fang in confusion. He really didn't know how to confuse black and white. After all, Chu Yi really killed more than ten scholars including the court sentence in Songyang Academy.

Even Liu Jin wouldn't dare to kill a scholar like this without convicting someone.

Seemingly seeing the doubts in Liu Jin's heart, Jiao Fang stroked his beard and sneered, "Don't forget, Mrs. Chu, who is patrolling the place in the name of the Son of Heaven. It can be said that he was an imperial envoy. The Songyang Academy sentenced Chen Qi and more than ten scholars. Dare to attack the imperial guard of honor, this is a crime of great disrespect, and it should be executed according to the law!"

After hearing Jiao Fang's words, Sun Cong, Zhang Wenmian and the others couldn't help showing a bit of jealousy. How satisfied Fang's idea was.

"Giggle, our family has the elders to help you, so you can sit back and relax!"

Jiao Fang looked right and said: "Enquite immediately went to the palace to meet the sage, and stated the interests, otherwise, once Lord Shoufu entered the palace to meet your majesty, under preconceived ideas, even if the sage finally believed in the words of the sage, I am afraid that he would also Affects the status of grace in the mind of the saint."

Liu Jin suddenly stood up and bowed to Jiao Fang: "Thank you, Elder Ge, for reminding me that our family will enter the palace to see His Majesty."

Thinking of Li Dongyang and others taking a step behind themselves, entering the palace first to report the Songyang murder case, and then directly slamming Chen Qi and others into the guard of honor, contempt of imperial power, and disrespect to the emperor, even if Li Dongyang and others are rhetoric, they will never think about it. After calculating him in front of the Son of Heaven, Li Dongyang and others will definitely look very exciting under the disappointment.

"It's just that our family is a little unwilling. He, Chu Yi, caused trouble and asked our family to wipe his ass!"

However, Liu Jin only sighed with emotion, and ordered everyone to inquire about the movements of Li Dongyang and others, and Liu Jin rushed to the palace.

Zhu Houzhao left the government affairs to Liu Jin to handle, but he lived in the leopard's room, and his life should not be too leisurely.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was only wearing a white robe, and beside Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong, a few trusted servants. When Liu Jin came in a hurry, Zhu Houzhao was roasting meat there.

That's right, Zhu Houzhao is roasting meat in front of a bonfire. The dignified emperor is supreme, and he doesn't care about his identity to do this kind of thing. Fortunately, this is the leopard room, which belongs to Zhu Houzhao's absolute private territory. Without his permission, all civil and military officials will enter. Not coming.

Otherwise, if he acts like this, then a bunch of officials will jump out and persuade him to pay attention to the majesty of the emperor.

Noticing Liu Jin's arrival, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and tore off the hind legs of a lamb. The golden roast meat exuded a delicate fragrance.

"Liu Daban, come here and have a taste of my craftsmanship!"

With a flattered look on his face, Liu Jin took it carefully, smelled it, and said intoxicated: "Just smelling the fragrance makes my servant's saliva drool. It must be more delicious."

As soon as he took a bite, Liu Jin's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty is good at craftsmanship, even if it is a royal chef, I am afraid that it can't compare to Your Majesty."

That is, Zhu Houzhao, if he were another emperor, he would not dare to talk to Zhu Houzhao like this, because Liu Jin would have the courage.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, then he tore off the barbecue and gave it to Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong. Finally, he carried a leg of lamb and sat on the ground without the grace of the emperor, sighing while eating the barbecue: "Chu I don't know where the big companion has been, and I haven't seen it for these days, but I miss it a little!"

Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words. In the capital, there was a lot of rumors about the Songyang murder. As powerful figures in the inner court, they naturally knew the situation of Chu Yi right now.

Only Zhu Houzhao didn't know about this. After all, both the internal servants and the civil and military officials headed by Li Dongyang had their own calculations around the Songyang murder case. .

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jin suddenly knelt on the ground and said to the surprised Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, this servant is guilty."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin, took a bite of the lamb shank, and said to Liu Jin, "You won't be in trouble again, let me guess if you have another disagreement with the first assistant Li Dongyang... …”

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, the slaves are guilty. The slaves concealed the news about Chu Yi from Your Majesty."

It seems that he didn't expect Chu Yi to be involved, Zhu Houzhao raised his brows, threw the leg of lamb in his hand to the little eunuch beside him, then got up and said while washing, "I'm curious, what happened to our supervisor of the East Factory? ."

Zhu Houzhao just likes freedom and cannot be bound by rules, but this does not mean that he is a fool. Otherwise, he will not be able to sit firmly in the country. Even under his connivance, Liu Jin is powerful, but he is able to stand with him. Under the imperial decree, Liu Jin was easily taken down, which shows that the entire court is actually under his control.

Just looking at Liu Jin's reaction, Zhu Houzhao knew that something must have happened to Chu Yi, otherwise Liu Jin would definitely not be like this.

However, the big things were nothing in front of him, so Zhu Houzhao didn't rush. After washing up, he sat down and looked at Liu Jin, who was kneeling there.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "Liu Dafan stop kneeling on the ground, get up and answer, tell me what happened to Chu Dafan."

Liu Jin Xie En got up and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Chu Yi killed him!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "If I remember correctly, Chu Dafan is the director of the East Factory appointed by me, and this time I was ordered to inspect the place. Is it possible that someone was so careless and provoked. Our East Factory Supervisor?"

Just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's close tone when he mentioned Chu Yi, you can see how favor Zhu Houzhao treats the few attendants around him.

Liu Jin said: "But Chu Yi was in Songyang Academy and killed Chen Qi and more than a dozen disciples of the academy. When the news came, the capital was in an uproar. At this moment, the first assistant Li Dongyang's mansion did not know how many people gathered. Please take this opportunity to ask Your Majesty to kill the slave and Chu Yi."

"what!"

Even Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being surprised when he suddenly heard that Chu Yi was killing him in Songyang Academy. Zhu Houzhao was not a faint-hearted monarch, so he knew very well what kind of power the literati wielded in the world today.

Even he, the emperor, was persecuted by those literati with various rules and had to hide in this leopard room to keep his ears clean.

Chu Yi actually killed Songyang Academy and more than a dozen students. For some unknown reason, Zhu Houzhao felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

However, as the emperor, Zhu Houzhao also knew that if this matter was true, even he would not be able to cover up Chu Yi.

With a cold face, Zhu Houzhao stared at Liu Jin and said, "Just tell me what's going on in detail."

At this moment, an internal servant hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the chief assistant of the cabinet and more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the court have come together, asking to see your majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said, "Xuan!"

His eyes fell on Liu Jin, and Liu Jin hurriedly followed Jiao Fang's words, focusing on explaining to Zhu Houzhao that Chu Yi sent the imperial guard of honor to represent the emperor to Songyang Academy, but was rejected by the court and more than a dozen academy disciples, and there was a conflict. , the disciples of the academy even attacked the imperial guards of honor.

Zhu Houzhao's complexion gradually became gloomy, and at this moment, a group of more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the court, headed by Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, were coming with angry expressions.

[In the new week, please move your hands after reading it and cast a vote. It will be on the list on Monday. Whether you can make it into the top ten is up to everyone. Please vote, give a reward and go. 】

Chapter 53 This script is so wrong!

Hearing that Chu Yi murdered, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously thought that someone had rammed into Chu Yi, so he was killed by Chu Yi venting his anger. However, in Liu Jin's mouth, Chu Yi clearly killed to maintain the dignity of his emperor. Almost instantly, Zhu Houzhao felt in his heart. Shang then stood on Chu Yi's side.

This is the advantage of being preconceived. The reason why Jiao Fang asked Liu Jin to come here immediately was to inform Zhu Houzhao of the Songyang murder case before Li Dongyang and others, in order to seize this preconceived advantage.

It's not that those civil and military officials don't know the advantages of preconceived ideas. It's a pity that the officials themselves do not have one heart. in the fight between.

Besides, there are also factions within Wenchen, and when their opinions are unified, Liu Jin has already met Zhu Houzhao first.

Liu Jin and several people have served Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years, and they know nothing about this master's temperament. Now, just seeing Zhu Houzhao's gloomy face, Liu Jin knows that he can sit back and relax this time.

Putting down his worries, Liu Jin was looking forward to the arrival of Li Dongyang and others.

With a glance, Li Dongyang and more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the court have already approached at this moment, only to see that the dozens of high-ranking officials have a gloomy face, which is completely like a teacher asking for guilt, Liu Jin lowered his head slightly, the corner of his mouth. A faint smile appeared.

"My ministers, Li Dongyang, Fei Hong, Liu Zhong, Yang Tinghe, meet your majesty!"

More than a dozen cabinet scholars saluted Zhu Houzhao in unison, Zhu Houzhao glanced at everyone lightly, turned around and sat on the seat, and then said: "You Aiqings are so inspiring, where is the disaster? What about the traitors?"

How could Li Dongyang and others not hear the sarcasm in Zhu Houzhao's words?

However, it was precisely because Li Dongyang was not strong enough in politics that he was accepted by the emperor, Liu Jin, and the Chinese and martial parties of the DPRK. To be precise, Li Dongyang was a chief assistant who had no political stance.

Xie Qian and Liu Jian of the same period were as talented as him, but not in the Zhengde Dynasty, precisely because they could not balance the forces of the DPRK and China.

This time, Li Dongyang was forced by the people of the world to lead more than a dozen cabinet scholars into the leopard room. The purpose was to force Zhu Houzhao to order Chu Yi to be arrested, and to take down Liu Jin, who was on top of their heads. .

Seeing Li Dongyang's expression of hesitating to speak, Zhu Houzhao knew quite a bit about his temperament, and his eyes fell on Li Dongyang and said, "Elder Li, tell me, what is the reason for you to come here so inspiring?"

Being stared at by Zhu Houzhao's half-smiling gaze, Li Dongyang glanced at the dozen expectant colleagues behind him, sighed in his heart and said slowly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister impeaches Liu Jin, the director of the Si Li Supervisor, for being negligent. The supervision caused the Admiral Chu Yi of the East Factory to kill innocent people indiscriminately in Songyang Academy, the holy place of scholars, and sentenced Chen Qi and more than ten students to the killing of Songyang Academy.

"Chen and so please ask Your Majesty to kill Chu Yi, except Liu Jin, so as to appease the hearts of scholars of my generation and the anger of ordinary people..."
