The Most Powerful Man in the World

More than a dozen academicians fell to their knees all at once, looking stunned, only staring at Zhu Houzhao and said solemnly.

Liu Jin's eyes narrowed, looking at the group of people kneeling on the ground with the look of killing his father's enemy. He clenched his fists angrily, wishing to go forward and kick these people to death one by one.

At the same time, Liu Jin secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, he came to meet Zhu Houzhao first, otherwise, if he was so troubled by these people, even if he was not dismissed from office, I am afraid it would not be better.

Nima, our family provoked you to provoke you, why do you always have trouble with our family!

However, what Liu Jin thought in his heart was not showing any signs of expression. He fell to his knees and cried to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged. They are a frame-up, a frame-up!"

What Zhu Houzhao hates most is that these ministers often use the banner of the people of the world to oppress him. It seems that if he, the emperor, does not act according to the words of these ministers, he will be sorry for the people of the world and the ancestors. , even more sorry for their servants.

A contemptuous smile flowed from the corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth, only to hear Zhu Houzhao say: "Gu Dayong, I just ordered you to fetch the reports from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Expert Factory and your Xichang regarding the Songyang murder case, you Is it available?"

Gu Dayong immediately stepped forward and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the servant has already ordered someone to fetch it, and Your Majesty can check it at any time."

Saying that, Gu Dayong waved his hand, and saw a little eunuch holding a tray with several secret letters on it.

Gu Dayong presented the secret letter in front of Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please visit!"

Zhu Houzhao first opened the report from the West Factory, scanned it ten lines at a time, and then read the secret letters from Jinyiwei, Expert Factory, and East Factory one after another.

I saw Zhu Houzhao flutteringly threw a few secret letters to his knees, and said in front of a group of great scholars in a forceful posture: "All of you are my arms, the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately you are being deceived by the people below. Ah!"

Speaking of Zhu Houzhao taking the tea served by Zhang Yong, he said lightly: "Take a good look, Songyang Academy sentenced Chen Qi and more than ten students to read the poems and books, and learn the etiquette, Confucius taught them like this. Is that right? Is there still the emperor in their eyes? Ignore the imperial envoy and attack the imperial envoy, what do they want to do, rebel?"

With a snap, Zhu Houzhao had a chill on his face, the teacup in his hand like a white jade was smashed into pieces, and the tea splashed several academicians, but no one dared to move.

Zhu Houzhao was angry. He knew that these courtiers were very difficult to control, so he launched Liu Jin to fight against these people, and he even moved to this leopard room, but he did not expect these literati to be so rampant.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to take care of it, and he didn't want to take care of it. He only saw the world-renowned academy and sentenced it from the academy. Hundreds of students dared to stop the imperial envoy and attack the imperial envoy.

Does this mean that one day, even if they are honored as the Son of Heaven, these people will still dare to attack their own guards of honor!

Since this kind of thing can happen to Chu Yi, it might not happen to me.

Since he ascended the throne, Zhu Houzhao, who has never been so angry, is really angry this time.

That's all, even if it is how these people compete for power and profit, he can turn a blind eye, but these people should not touch his bottom line-the majesty of the emperor, which cannot be violated.

Zhu Houzhao is very clear that the foundation of his foothold is the inviolability of the majesty of the Son of Heaven. Once he lets go of this hole, there is no guarantee that one day he will collapse without knowing it. I don't know who the seat under this ass will be given to by these people. ?

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others obviously did not expect that the Songyang murder case would make Zhu Hou think so much, and even get so angry.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's immature face full of endless anger, the scholars couldn't help feeling a little dazed. The script was wrong. Shouldn't the emperor be forced by them to honestly order Chu Yi and Liu Jin to investigate? ?

[Brothers are mighty, this book rushes to the fourth place in the signing list, and the top three are the three young masters, blood red, and Gengxin. Everyone can put this book at the fourth place. The fleas are so moved, code words, code words, If you have a ticket in hand, let's smash it, let's keep the chrysanthemum from being exploded by the book below, and rotate [-] degrees in the air to ask for a ticket! 】

Chapter 54 Zaifu is useless and can be discarded!

They had just read the contents of those secret letters. It was clearly written that Songyang Academy was headed by the court judge Chen Qi. Hundreds of students blocked the guard of honor and attacked the guard of honor. The director of the East Factory, Chu Yi, was angry. The killing court sentenced Chen Qi and more than ten students to Zhang Tianwei.

Li Dongyang glanced at Yang Tinghe and several others, and then heard Li Dongyang say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, calm down, the old minister can guarantee that Chen Qi and those students are absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and they never dare to disrespect your Majesty."

Liu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, sneered at this moment, and said sharply: "Elder Ge is not one of those people, so how do you know what they are thinking?"

Speaking of which, Liu Jin didn't care how ugly Li Dongyang and others looked, but said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Chu Yi is too indecisive, those students are holding government money, but they don't think about His Majesty's kindness, such disloyalty and unfilial piety. , The unkind and unjust generation should kill as many as they can."

"Liu Jin, you castrated thief, a scholar of my generation, how can you be insulted by an incomplete generation like you..."

When a white-haired scholar heard Liu Jin's intention to implicate the entire Songyang Academy, he couldn't help but jumped up and pointed at Liu Jin and cursed.

"Bold Wu Ang, Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong immediately protected Zhu Houzhao and shouted at the old man.

Wu Ang looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was staring at him angrily, and smiled sadly: "Your Majesty, you should not trust eunuchs like Liu Jin and Chu Yi. Eunuch, otherwise the country will not be a country..."

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others stared at Wu Ang, who had reacted violently, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao, whose face was ashen, and lamented in their hearts.

"Drag it out, drag Wu Ang out for me! I'm disrespectful in front of the emperor, and I will punish you with a stick of twenty, as an example!"

Zhu Houzhao was almost exasperated, but Zhu Houzhao was generous by nature and never sinned against others, so no matter how rude Wu Ang's words were, he never thought of killing Wu Ang.

Several little eunuchs immediately came forward and dragged Wu Ang out. Wu Ang shouted: "Your Majesty, if you don't listen to your good words today, you will regret it later, regret it later..."

After what happened to Wu Ang, where did Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and others still have the aggressiveness and determination to win.

Seeing the expressions of Li Dongyang and others, Liu Jin's eyes were full of pride.

After a while, Li Dongyang said to Zhu Houzhao with a bit of hesitation, "Your Majesty, the scholars in the world are boiling, just as the grand competition is approaching, students from all over the capital gather in the capital, if you can't give Shilin an explanation for this, I'm afraid... …”

Zhu Houzhao gave Li Dongyang and the others a cold look and said: "Chen Qi and others collided with the imperial guards of honor, and they should be executed according to the law. The governor Chu Yi, the director of Dongchang, was ordered by the emperor to inspect the place. , not only has no faults, but has meritorious deeds, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a python robe."

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang and the others and said, "All the ministers cherish the society, and I feel very relieved, but all the ministers deal with all kinds of opportunities, but they should not be deceived by others. If the Songyang blood case was not deliberately deceived, how could the ministers not I've always made a point of accusing Chu Yi and Liu Jin, and I hope all the elders can learn from it!"

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao didn't care that Li Dongyang and the others looked wrong, he waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, all the ministers should step back."

Originally excited and confident, he thought he could easily force the emperor to take down Chu Yi and Liu Jin, but the result was good, but Zhu Houzhao seized the opportunity and gave them a reprimand, but they were still speechless.

The only thing they couldn't stand in the whole bloody case was the fact that Chen Qi and others attacked the imperial guards of honor. In a big way, they could even loot a family and kill a family. In a small way, it would be a crime of disrespect.

Zhu Houzhao had already made a decision on this matter, and they didn't think they could make the emperor change his mind.

Outside the leopard room, several servants were carefully helping Wu Ang up from the bench and slaughtering him down with twenty sticks. The elderly Wu Ang was almost beaten to death.

Seeing Wu Ang's appearance, Yang Tinghe quickly stepped forward with a sad face and said, "Brother Wu asks for orders for the people of the world. Although he is punished by the rod, it is a great honor.

Several other academicians also came forward and bowed to Wu Ang. Wu Ang's face flushed a little, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out on the spot.

"Quick, send Doctor Wu to see a doctor!"

Yang Tinghe and others saluted Li Dongyang and hurried away surrounded by Wu Angzhi's carriage.

Li Dongyang watched Yang Tinghe and others leave, his slightly hunched body stood in front of the leopard room, the setting sun slanted, lonely and lonely.

Two days later, Zhu Houzhao, who rarely appeared at the meeting, presided over the meeting in person. First, he cut off the reward of Wu Ang, a great scholar who died because of the cane, and passed the order that the academy involved in the Songyang blood case should be accepted. A student is not allowed to take the exam for a lifetime except for the fame.

Then, in front of the civil and military officials, they rewarded Chu Yi and Liu Jin, and told everyone clearly that the Songyang murder case came to an end.

Zhu Houzhao showed his favor towards Chu Yi and Liu Jin with his actual actions, and it goes without saying that many civil officials were dissatisfied, and Shilin was even more outraged.

For a time, the emperor was incompetent, and his favored eunuchs Chu Yi and Liu Jin were coaxed into the world through the mouths of these literati.In particular, Chu Yi's name is even more clamorous, and it has become the object of hatred by almost all scholars.

At the same time, Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who was placed in high hopes by the scholars of the world's literati, also lost his reputation in Shilin because of his weakness in facing the emperor in the Songyang blood case.

A large number of literati began to look for the next important minister who could represent their interests, and silently planned to replace Li Dongyang, the old chief assistant.

In the past, the scene of the endless chariots and horses in front of the mansion is no longer present, and there is a bit of desolation in front of the dignified cabinet's first auxiliary door.

Chu Yi, who is far away in Chuzhou, has not yet received the news from the capital. At this moment, Chu Yi and his party rested for the night in a small town outside Chuzhou, and rushed to Chuzhou early in the morning.

Chuzhou is not too far from Nanjing, because his father Wang Hua was demoted by Liu Jin to Nanjing to serve as the Minister of Officials. Needless to say, Wang Yangming came here to meet Wang Hua.

Wang Yangming is very low-key. After all, he was demoted to Guizhou Longchang, and he should go to the post at this time. If he is caught, it will be somewhat troublesome.

In addition to Wang Yangming, there is also a servant of the book. It is only after the martial arts method to strengthen the body that it appears to be so spiritual.

The servant followed Wang Yangming on horseback and said, "Sir, in two days at most, we will be able to arrive at Nanjing City to see the master, so we don't have to be so careful and worried anymore."

Wang Yangming shook his head slightly, and said with a bit of worry in his eyes: "But you can't slack off, I'm afraid they won't stop there!"

Someone from Chu Yi sent a warning. With Wang Yangming's cultivation, as long as he was a little vigilant, he would be able to detect the whereabouts of the Thirteen Taibao of Jinyiwei.

Although Wang Yangming practiced martial arts, he was only trying to strengthen his body. He never thought about fighting against others, let alone fighting with others, so don't look at his extremely high level, but if he really fights, I'm afraid it's not the opponent of Zhu Qi and these veteran murderers.

He knew his own family affairs, so Wang Yangming, after realizing that Zhu Qi and others were stalking, traveled the prosperous official road every day, and stayed in the big city at night, never in the wilderness, but Zhu Qi and others could not find an opportunity to start.

As he was talking, the servant Zhao Yan said, "Sir, the front is Wuguiling Mountain, and after the Wuguiling Mountain, it will be a smooth river. If those who are worried about Mr. want to do something, this is the last chance..."

Papapa, someone clapped their hands and walked out: "Wang Yangming, several of our brothers have suffered for nearly a month for you, but they have suffered for nearly a month, and thinking of you is also a person, so let's break it up, okay? Let me wait and return to my life!"

[Tickets, collections, rewards, fleas continue to crawl to code words! 】

Chapter 55 The Promise of the Sages

Several figures appeared in front. The most important thing was that a group of bandits were roaring in the distance. As for the pedestrians on the road, when they saw those bandits from a distance, they were scared and ran away. How dare they go forward. what!

Wang Yangming deserves to be the person who was able to pacify the rebellion of King Ning later, even in a dangerous situation, he seemed quite calm, his wise eyes swept over Zhu Qi and others and sighed softly: "Liu Jin is so narrow-minded, although Wang does not know what to do. You are talented, but you can also see that the day when Liu Jin will flourish and decline is not far away, within a year, Liu Jin will die, and if you help Zhou to abuse him, he will not have a good end!"

Zhu Qi's eyes narrowed. As an old man in Jinyiwei, Zhu Qi was used to seeing the changes in the court. Zhu Qi would not doubt that Liu Jin would lose power in the future, but he would say that within a year, the situation is now a good one. He collapsed at once, and he naturally didn't believe it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Qi stared at Wang Yangming and said, "Zhu is just acting on orders, and the gentleman is a scholar, so he naturally understands that the order cannot be violated. Don't blame me in the Yama Hall!"

Between the words, Zhu Qi's eyebrow-raising stick whistled in his hand, and it was a stick in the head.

Wang Yangming's instinct jumped, he practiced martial arts all the year round, and his body was full of internal energy, and he avoided Zhu Qi's attack, but in addition to Zhu Qi, the Thirteen Taibao dispatched as many as four people, and the four joined forces to attack Wang Yangming. .

"You dare!"

He only heard the sound of breaking, Wang Yangming seemed to have an epiphany at the juncture of life and death, he stretched out the eyebrow stick and slammed into Zhu Qi's arms at the same time, and the terrible force was about to knock Zhu Qi out.

The attack of the other three people failed in an instant, and Zhu Qi, who spat out a mouthful of blood to remove the turbulent inner breath in his body, said with horror in his eyes: "Everyone, be careful, Wang Yangming is not easy!"

Although several people knew that Wang Yangming had a cultivation base, they never thought that his strength was so strong, but once the four of them got serious and the murderous intention was awe-inspiring, even Wang Yangming couldn't help but look solemn.

Zhu Qi wiped away the blood from the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashed with a wicked smile and said, "Wang Yangming, you are the first person who can hurt me these years, and I will give you a happy death!"

"Sir, hurry up, I'll help you hold them off!"

The servant Zhao Yan who reacted almost instinctively protected Wang Yangming in front of him.

Wang Yangming suddenly had a smile on his face and said: "Everyone, Yangming's life shouldn't end, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!"

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer. Zhu Qi and the others are so experienced. Just listening to the sound of horse hooves, they know that the comer is coming straight to them. The most important thing is that there is no sign of slowing down.

The group of dozens of thieves who were responsible for blocking the road and even taking the blame in the future rushed towards the incoming people one by one howling.

There were less than ten people in the group, and the leader was dressed in a black cloak. Although he was young, he had his own power and power invisibly, which was daunting.

No need for Chu Yi to do it. Which of the several stalls and fans headed by Qi Hu is not a good player in Dongchang? How can these bandits be the opponents of such killing stars? Even the speed of the horses has not changed. It's a corpse.

"Shut up!"

As soon as the reins were pulled, the horse under him stopped immediately. At this time, it was only a few meters away from Zhu Qi and Wang Yangming.

Condescendingly, Chu Yi swept over Zhu Qi and the others, and finally said to Wang Yangming, who was very good, "Mr. Yangming, stay safe!"

Wang Yangming's eyes fell on Chu Yi, his eyes shrank, apparently recognizing Chu Yi's identity, he took a deep breath, bowed his hands and said: "I never thought it was an old friend, Shouren has seen Chu Governor!"

At that time, Chu Yi was in charge of the imperial history of the inner circle, and Wang Shouren was ordered by the emperor to go to the imperial history to copy the books.

Zhu Qi and others on the side watched Chu Yi and Wang Yangming reminiscing about the old days, and naturally their faces became gloomy. It was really uncomfortable to be ignored.

On weekdays, when they handled the case with Jin Yiwei, they were not majestic. Although this time it was a low-key interception of Wang Yangming, no matter what, they shouldn't be ignored.

Zhu Qi coughed lightly, and Chu Yi turned his eyes to Zhu Qi, only to hear Zhu Qi say: "Chu Governor, the General Manager wants to take Wang Yangming's life, please don't interfere, otherwise..."

Chu Yi rubbed the jade wrench on his hand and said with a half-smile, "Oh, do you want to use Liu Jin to suppress the governor? Don't you know that Chu's favorite thing to do is to save people from Liu Jin's hands?"
