The Most Powerful Man in the World

Seeing that Sun Qiu came with his wife, Chen Kan was startled at first, and then quickly greeted him and said, "Chen Kan, the grassman, see the general, and ask the general to save my father and children!"

Sun Qiu stepped forward to help Chen Kan up and said, "Don't worry, you will tell this general about the specific situation, and this general will try to ensure the safety of your father and your son as much as possible."

Chen Kan quickly told Sun Qiu what was going on in the cellar.

Sun Qiu learned about the situation in the cellar. In addition to Miao Yuan, there were also four Miao Yuan confidants, including a housekeeper and three brave and loyal servants.

Backyard cellar.

Chen Kan slowly walked into the cellar carrying the lunch box, and saw that his father was holding his son, while Miao Yuan and the others were sitting there.

Opening the lunch box, the fragrance of the food came out, which made people unable to help their appetite.

Miao Yuan glanced at the meal, and Chen Zhong consciously carried his grandson forward to serve the meal, and then ate it in big gulps, not forgetting to feed the grandson in his arms.

After a cup of tea, Miao Yuan and the others stepped forward and started to eat.

While eating, it can be said that Miao Yuan and the others were at their weakest, when they saw Chen Kan pull from his waist, then slammed it, and immediately saw a piece of lime spread out.

Chen Kan suddenly threw his father and child to the ground. At this moment, he shouted, and after Sun Qiu jumped into the cellar in neat clothes, he raised his hand to strike a strong crossbow, and roared one of them on the spot. Shoot the servants of the Chen family and their sons.

At the same time, the spear in his hand swept away with a single blow, and even the two servants flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

When Miao Yuan reacted, Sun Qiu had already approached, and he picked it up and threw it away, stunned and threw it out of the cellar.

It's a pity that at the entrance of the cellar, several soldiers stepped forward and tied up Miao Yuan.

It was just a dozen or so breaths. The lime in the cellar had not been exhausted, and everyone including Miao Yuan had been taken down.

"Wow wow..."

Only now did the child cry loudly.

Miao Yuan was arrested, and as soon as the news spread, the entire Taiyuan City was a sensation.

When the prison car that imprisoned Miao Yuan passed by on the long street, many people who heard the news looked at Miao Yuan in the prison car, and they wanted to pounce on Miao Yuan and shred Miao Yuan to pieces.

However, there were soldiers on both sides of the prison car, and those people could not get close to the prison car, but it did not prevent the surrounding people from splashing stones or something and smashing them at Miao Yuan.

After passing the long street, Miao Yuan was smashed to death. Fortunately, no one hit Miao Yuan with a big stone. Of course, Sun Qiu and others couldn't let Miao Yuan be killed by the people.

In a mansion, Chu Yi moved out from the prefectural yamen not long ago, and now he is looking at a servant who is full of fat and powder in front of him.

This servant did not come from the capital. If the other party really came from the capital, it would be impossible to be so arrogant and dare to be so arrogant in front of him, Chu Yi.

Chu Yi looked at the servant Dong Yizhi indifferently and said, "Servant Dong, where is your lord now, I don't know if the King of Jin sent you here, what's the matter?"

Dong Yizhi was sent by the King of Jin.

Daming has always had a tradition of assigning places to the emperor. There are so many one-character kings in the Daming clan. Almost all of them are passed down from generation to generation by the sons of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Except for the one-character king, the two-character county king and the like.

For example, King Ning belongs to the line of King Ning, which can be traced back to Zhu Quan, the first king of Ning who was entrusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

King Jin is one of the nine great kings of the Great Ming Dynasty. For example, the king of Yan Zhu Di built the vassal of Peiping, the acting king Zhu Gui set up the vassal of Datong, Shanxi, and the king of Jin Zhu Ho was the vassal of Taiyuan.

The king of Jin of this generation is Zhu Zhishang. When the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was entrusted with the title of the king of the nine great frontiers, he originally hoped that these royal clansmen would be able to guard the frontier fortresses, but it is a pity that now, the king of the Daming domain, Mo said, is guarding the frontier fortresses for the court. If he can not harm the place, he can already be called a wise king.

When the city of Taiyuan was broken, Zhu Zhiyang fled out of Taiyuan City in fright for the first time. As for defending the city for the imperial court, don't even think about it.

Zhu Zhishang escaped from Taiyuan City and hid carefully, and at the same time sent someone to inquire about the news in vain.

For nearly a month, Zhu Zhiyang's life has been a hard one. Since he was a child, he was used to eating fine clothes and jade, and suddenly even eating became a problem. , but he didn't dare to go back to the capital. The local vassal king could not enter the capital without a summons, not to mention that he had lost the important town of Taiyuan. If he really entered the capital, he might have his hat as the king of Jin taken off.

However, in another village, Zhu Zhiyang, who was hesitant and did not know where to go, suddenly heard that Taiyuan City was recaptured by Daming.

This is great news for Zhu Zhishang. He lost Taiyuan City before, which is a big crime, but now that Taiyuan City is back in the hands of Daming, can he go back to Taiyuan and continue to be his King of Jin Yet?

However, Zhu Zhishang also found out that it was Chu Yi, the most powerful minister of the day, who recaptured Taiyuan City, but after learning that it was Chu Yi who recaptured Taiyuan City, Zhu Zhishang breathed a sigh of relief.

From Zhu Zhiyang's point of view, even if Chu Yi had the most power in the world, he would still be their royal servant, and he was the King of Jin of Daming. When Chu Yi saw him, he would naturally be respectful.

For this reason, Zhu Zhishang specially sent his trusted servants to go to Taiyuan City to inform Chu Yi, so that Chu Yi would be ready to welcome him back to the city.

Dong Yizhi, as Zhu Zhiyang's trusted servant, was accustomed to being arrogant in the past day. In Taiyuan City, the Jin Dynasty's mansion was heaven.

Although Daming said there were restrictions on the vassal kings in these places, it was more to guard against the rebellion of the vassal kings. As long as these vassal kings did not raise armoured soldiers, and did not try to win over the civil and military officials of the court, then the emperor would treat these vassal kings and other vassals. Action has always been to open one eye and close the other.

This has also resulted in a large number of vassal kings in the future, among which there are many tyrannical vassal kings, fishy and fleshy people, rampant and domineering, for the disaster.

It's just that even if these vassal kings have committed any crimes, the local officials are unable to restrain their jurisdiction, and instead, they have to be dealt with by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that as long as these vassal kings are not playing rebellion in their respective fiefs, they can play whatever they want, and tomorrow will not treat these vassal kings because of some tyrannical acts of these vassal kings.

Although Zhu Zhiyang, the king of Jin, said that he was not a tyrannical vassal king, he was not a worthy king.

Dong Yizhi, who was trained by Zhu Zhiyang, is obviously a flattering person. In Dong Yizhi's view, he is the servant of the King of Jin, while Chu Yi is the servant of the emperor. Everyone is the servant of the royal family, even Chu Yi. His status is much more noble than him, and he is also qualified to face Chu Yi.

Facing Chu Yi at this moment, Dong Yizhi said with a smile: "General Manager Chu, His Royal Highness King Jin is now outside the city. When King Jin returns to the city, we are servants, but we have to go to meet him in person."

Dong Yizhi's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants Chu Yi to personally lead the troops to welcome the King of Jin back to the city.

This is a matter of course in Dong Yizhi's view. Taicheng is the vassal of King Jin. From a legal point of view, the entire city of Taiyuan is under the jurisdiction of King Jin. In this land of Taiyuan, King Jin It is the supreme existence.

Chu Yi glanced at Dong Yizhi lightly, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Jin is going back to the city, and the Governor will send someone to greet him."

Dong Yizhi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, looked at Chu Yi in amazement, and couldn't help but pointed at Chu Yi and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin is so honorable, I'm waiting to be a servant..."

Chu Yi glanced at Dong Yizhi and said, "Come here, see off!"

I saw Lin Pingzhi's figure flashed in front of Dong Yizhi, and said to Dong Yizhi, "Please!"

Dong Yizhi pointed at Chu Yi angrily and said, "Chu Yi, you are so brave, I will definitely report to His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Outside the city of Taiyuan, dozens of palace guards surrounded a carriage, which was parked outside the city gate of Taiyuan at the moment.

Zhu Zhiyang looked at the city of Taiyuan in front of him, with a bit of joy in his eyes, and finally came back. He wanted to return to the city in a beautiful and beautiful way.

Looking at Du Wenzhong, the chief official of the palace, who was standing aside, he said, "Mr. Du, you said that when Chu Yi brings someone to greet His Highness, how can His Highness thank him?"

Du Wenzhong said with a straight face: "Your Highness, Taiyuan is the place where His Highness has vassalized. This time Taiyuan City was taken back by Chu Yi, His Highness should thank Chu Yi, but this person is just a servant of the royal family, then His Highness will only need to take a moment. With a reward, I think that Chu Yi will definitely be grateful to His Highness."

As a literati, Du Wenzhong naturally did not have a good impression of Chu Yi, so Jin Yan implied that Chu Yi was a servant of the royal family, and there was no need to reward him.

Zhu Zhiyang nodded slightly and said, "Sir, what you said is very true, but Chu Yi is a servant by the emperor's side. Besides, this king can return to Taiyuan City because of Chu Yi. Well, this king heard that Chu Yi likes to read. In this case, this king will reward him with a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Du Wenzhong whispered with a bit of disdain: "A mere eunuch, to even learn to read, really tarnishes the study of saints!"

Just as he was talking, he saw a fast horse approaching, and immediately a chubby figure, dressed in the palace servant's costume, walked to the front, rolled over, and rolled to the front of the frame like a ball, looking extremely aggrieved. Appearance, lying in front of the carriage and crying: "My lord, you have to decide for the slaves!"

Zhu Zhishang couldn't help but froze when he saw Dong Yizhi lying in front of him, then frowned and said, "Didn't I let you go into the city to see Chu Yi? What about Chu Yi and the others?"

Dong Yizhi raised his head and said with a look of grievance: "My lord, that Chu Yi is too rude. When the lord returned to the city, he refused to come to greet His Highness, and even expelled his servants, he... He didn't take you in his eyes at all!"

Zhu Zhishang couldn't help but said angrily: "What, is there such a thing?"

Dong Yizhi cried: "The slave does not dare to make a false statement! If Your Highness does not believe it, let's see if Chu Yi will come to welcome His Highness back to the city in person."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhishang stared in the direction of the city gate and said, "I want to see this king today, but he still has my prince in Chu Yi's eyes! This Da Ming is still my Zhu family's world, as a royal It's really disrespectful, servant, who refuses to come to greet this king!"

After all, he is also a royal prince, even if he has no real power, but his status is honorable. Except for the emperor, no one dares to be rude to all the princes.

After almost a cup of tea, I saw a team of yamen slowly approaching under the leadership of the acting prefect Zhang Yu.

Before reaching the frame, Zhang Yu bowed to Zhu Zhishang and said, "Xiaoguan Zhang Yu, pay tribute to His Royal Highness King Jin, and come to welcome His Highness back to the city on the order of the chief general!"

Zhu Zhiyang couldn't help frowning, staring at Zhang Yu with a worried look on his face: "Who are you, why has this king never seen you, and the others, Chu Yi and others, all the officials in this city are dead. Is it? You are the only one here!"

Zhang Yu said slowly: "Xiaguan is the acting magistrate appointed by the chief executive, and he was ordered to come to greet His Highness. As for the others, Xiaguan does not know."

Leaning beside Zhu Zhiyang, Dong Yizhi immediately whispered: "Your Highness, you see, Chu Yi didn't take you, Your Highness, in his eyes at all..."

With a gloomy face, Zhu Zhiyang snorted coldly, "Enough!"

While speaking, Zhu Zhiyang glanced at Zhang Yu and said solemnly, "Let's go back to the city!"

Since the expected scenery has not returned to the city, he can't just stay outside the city like this, but he remembered the humiliation that Chu Yi gave him today.

Zhang Yu watched King Jin angrily return to the carriage, watched King Jin's frame slowly enter the city gate, and sighed in his heart.

Escorting King Jin back to the city, Zhang Yu went to see Chu Yi immediately.

Seeing Chu Yi sitting there peacefully, Zhang Yu bowed first, and then said, "Professor, the lower official has welcomed His Royal Highness King Jin back to the palace, but..."

Seeing Zhang Yu's expression of hesitating to speak, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Oh, if Sir Zhang has something to say, you may as well say it bluntly."

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and said: "Xiaguan is bold, His Royal Highness Jin seems to be very dissatisfied with the Governor's failure to go to greet you in person. Xiaguan is afraid that His Royal Highness Jin will meet you..."

A cold look flashed in Chu Yi's eyes: "It's just a sin king who has lost his city and lost his land. It doesn't matter if he doesn't seek Chu's trouble, otherwise, the Governor will let him die from the line of King Jin!"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, his face showed a look of astonishment.

It's really Chu Yi's fierce reputation. Hearing that Chu Yi was going to kill King Jin's line, Zhang Yu almost instinctively thought that Chu Yi was going to kill King Jin's line. That was the prince of the royal family, no matter what happened to Chu Yi. If you are favored by the emperor, you can't kill the royal prince.

Chu Yi noticed Zhang Yu's expression and couldn't help but smile, he waved his hand and said, "Master Zhang doesn't want a lieutenant to kill the line of King Jin."

Zhang Yu was embarrassed by Chu Yi's thoughts, and said, "I dare not!"

Chu Yi sighed softly: "The vassal kings of the Ming clan have become one of the biggest cancers in my Ming dynasty. Your Majesty is very worried. This time, with the king of Jin as the leader, let's cut the vassal!"

Zhang Yu was extremely shocked. In those days, Emperor Jianwen cut his vassals, and as a result, King Yan raised an army and the throne changed.

Now that the prince of the Ming Dynasty has long lost his military power, and Chu Yi is going to cut the vassal again, but he doesn't know how to cut it. Could it be that he wants to be honored?

However, the Daming vassal was personally named by the Taizu. Even if he was the son of today, he would not dare to bear the name of unfilial piety and completely abolish the title of vassal king.

Chu Yi waved his hand and signaled Zhang Yu to leave. After Zhang Yu resigned, he saw Sun Qiu striding forward and bowed to Chu Yi: "The last general will pay tribute to the governor, I don't know if the governor will come to see the last general, but What is your order?"

Chu Yi glanced at Sun Qiu and said, "General Sun, the Governor ordered you to lead a team of troops to surround the Prince Jin's Mansion for the Governor. No one is allowed to leave the Prince Jin Mansion without the order of the Governor."

Sun Qiu heard a bit of surprise on his face, but he reacted immediately and said solemnly: "The commander will obey!"

But said in Beijing city.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorial expeditedly sent by Jin Yiwei with a look of joy on his face. This memorial was written to the emperor after Chu Yi broke Taiyuan City.

Looking at Chu Yi's suggestions in the memorial, Zhu Houzhao's expression gradually became a little dignified.

Jiao Fang and several other important civil and military officials below noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, and they couldn't help showing doubts on their faces.

Taiyuan City was recaptured. They had just learned the news, and they were as happy as Zhu Houzhao, but looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, it seemed that Chu Yi's memorial was not the only thing.

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a long time, glanced at the crowd below, and said slowly: "Old Jiao Ge, Duke Ying will stay, and the rest of the Qing family should retreat."

Everyone heard the words and looked at each other, although they said they were a little confused, but one by one they bowed to the emperor and left slowly.
