The Most Powerful Man in the World

Wen and Wu above the court were not so distinct in the past, but as Gu Da took the upper hand, the court gradually became more distinct.

Among the officials who were originally attached to Chu Yi's family, some swaying officials fell under Gu Dayong's family, and some officials who were hostile to Chu Yi also hit it off with Gu Dayong, and in a short period of time, they were in the courtroom. A force that could almost compete with the force left by Chu Yi was formed.

Except for a very small number of neutral factions, although the number of civil and military ministers attached to Chu Yi is said to have dropped sharply, those who can really hold on to their unshakable hearts are the backbone of the court, so compared to Gu Dayong's gathering Those officials who came here, the momentum is not weak at all.

A dozen officials watched Gu Dayong leave with some resentment, and gathered around Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yiqing.

Only one of the servants could be heard saying to Jiao Fang: "Master Shoufu, Gu Dayong is too arrogant. He tried every means to target us, and now he even opposes the cabinet's suggestions. , I'm afraid Gu Dayong will be even more arrogant."

More than a dozen officials all showed their approval, and everyone could see that Gu Dayong came to them, who made them branded as Chu Yi, and as Chu Yi's die-hard followers, he wanted to. It is naturally impossible for them to switch families, so all they can do is to fight against Gu Dayong.

It's just that they are far worse than Gu Dayong, so they can only pin their hopes on Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren and others.

An official sighed softly: "I don't know what the Governor is thinking, why he suddenly resigned from the office, if the Governor is still there, how could it be Gu Dayong's turn to point fingers here. "

"Yes, if His Highness is still here, Gu Dayong would never dare to be so arrogant."

"Everyone, why don't we go to Prince Wu's Mansion and ask to see His Highness, I hope His Highness can see us this time."

Just as the officials were discussing in a low voice, Jiao Fang coughed lightly and glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone, Your Highness is in retreat right now, I'm afraid you won't be able to see His Highness even if you go there."

The waiter couldn't help but said worriedly: "His Royal Highness can't go into seclusion, and the great use of the valley in the courtroom is making waves everywhere, and now he is eyeing me, I am afraid that when he gets rid of us, the next step will be to attack Your Highness. now..."

With a light cough, Jiao Fang said slowly: "You don't have to worry, as long as I don't have the handle in his hands, Gu Dayong can't help us no matter how arrogant he is."

"It's hard to say. Your Majesty trusts Gu Dayong very much. If Gu Dayong slanders your Majesty, once, twice, it's too many times..."

Some officials looked worried. Although it was said that compared to Liu Jin and Chu Yi, Gu Dayong's power had not yet reached its peak, but if this trend continued, with the trust of the emperor, Gu Dayong would meet sooner or later. Such as Liu Jin and Chu Yi, who are generally powerful in power and opposition, no one can compete.

Jiao Fang appeased the crowd and watched them leave. Wang Shouren, who stayed behind, stroked his beard and said to Jiao Fang, "Old Jiao Ge, what is your Highness thinking? Your Highness's behavior is not like his usual style."

In Wang Shouren's view, with Chu Yi's temperament, even if he wanted to get out of the business, it would be impossible to leave Gu Dayong, a person who would bring disaster to the country and the people, and even sit back and watch Gu Dayong ascend to the position of chief supervisor.

Is Chu Yi willing to watch his hard work being ruined by Gu Dayong like this?

Jiao Fang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know what your Highness is thinking."

Yang Yiqing, who had not spoken for a while, flashed a bright light in his eyes: "Several, it seems that we have to go to see His Highness, no matter what, we must ask His Highness to come out of the mountain, otherwise, no one can make a great use of grain. , if we let Gu Dayong continue to toss like this, I am afraid that my hard work will be drained."

Before the Wuwangfu, several servants stood listlessly there. Compared with the people coming and going in front of the other officials' houses, Chu Yi's Wuwangfu seemed incomparably deserted, especially after Chu Yi announced that he would retreat and practice. In the memory of several servants, the last time an official came to ask for an interview, it was almost a month ago.

Several sedan chairs appeared in sight, and the servants just glanced at them and continued to stand there listlessly.Anyway, no one came to see their prince, and his own prince may not meet.

"what!"

Suddenly, a servant was surprised to see that the sedan chairs stopped at the gate of the mansion, and several figures came out of them.

"Old Jiao Ge, Yang Shangshu, Duke An..."

Several servants opened their mouths suddenly, their faces were full of astonishment, and they subconsciously greeted them.

Jiao Fang waved his hand, ignoring the rudeness of several servants: "I don't know if His Highness is here!"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads. They were just servants, so how did they know whether Chu Yi was out of the customs?

At this moment, a figure came over. Jiao Fang and Wang Shouren couldn't help their eyes light up when they saw it. It was none other than Lin Pingzhi who had been following Chu Yi.

Lin Pingzhi came over and bowed to several people: "Several adults, Your Highness has a request!"

Jiao Fang and Wang Shouren looked at each other with a bit of joy on their faces.

In the past, when they came, Chu Yi was in retreat. They could only come with hope, but they came back disappointed, but this time, they didn't expect Chu Yi to invite them in.

Since Chu Yi resigned from office, he has rarely gone out. It can be said that [-]% of the time is spent in seclusion and cultivation, especially during this month, Chu Yi even stopped entering the palace to teach the little prince.

When a few people came, they didn't even have any hope, and the surprise was so inadvertent.

Walking into the palace, under the guidance of Lin Pingzhi, several people saw a figure, who was leisurely drinking tea and reading under a big tree, not Chu Yi or who.

Chu Yi, who was wearing a green shirt, looked like a scholar. If he hadn't known Chu Yi's identity, he would have regarded him as a scholar with outstanding temperament.

"Your Highness!"

"Master Chief!"

Several people stepped forward to greet Chu Yi, Chu Yi smiled and said: "A few of you are not assisting His Majesty in the court, but they came to Chu's house, it is really inappropriate..."

It was obvious that Chu Yi was joking. After being greeted by Chu Yi, several people took their seats before looking at Chu Yi.

Wang Shouren looked at Chu Yi seriously and said: "The chief executive has finally left the customs. If you don't leave the customs again, I'm afraid that this Ming Dynasty hall doesn't know what it will be tossed into."

Chu Yi picked up the teapot and poured the tea for a few people. The aroma of the tea filled the air, and he heard Chu Yi say, "How about a taste of this tea!"

Seeing Chu Yi's calm look, Jiao Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, even if you have any plans, you should tell us about it, otherwise, I will have no bottom in my heart."

In Jiao Fang's view, Chu Yi must have some plans, but even if there are plans, it would be good for them to know what to do, otherwise, they will not only have no idea in their hearts, but also don't know how to cooperate with Chu at that time. Yi ah.

Chu Yi put down the teapot in his hand, smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Since Chu has resigned, he will not interfere in the affairs of the court."

Slightly stunned, several people couldn't help looking at each other. It was obvious that Chu Yi could not deceive them in such matters. Since Chu Yi said it, it meant that Chu Yi really had no plans and no plans for him. This made Jiao Fang panic a little and said: "Your Highness, aren't you condoning Gu Dayong, Gu Dayong's man has caused more harm to the country than Liu Jin of the past, if he is not restrained, I am afraid it will become a serious problem what."

Chu Yi chuckled lightly and shook his head: "However, the few of you are overthinking it. Gu Dayan won't be able to go to the sky with him, and he won't be able to cause any harm."

Seeing Chu Yi's determination, both Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yiqing are all puzzled. Who doesn't know that the court is now in the limelight, unless Chu Yi is out of the mountain, otherwise, this Manchu civil and military, who can make Gu Dayong?

Seeing the reactions of several people's expressions, Chu Yi couldn't help shaking his head.

The authorities are fascinated, bystanders are clear, and all the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty felt the unparalleled limelight of Gu Dayong. In everyone's mind, except for Chu Yi, no one could make Gu Dayong, otherwise, Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing It is impossible for such a high-ranking official standing at the top of the Ming Dynasty Hall to come together.

Chu Yi said earlier that he didn't have any plans, and he didn't have any plans. This is not false. He really didn't have any plans. But if he really wants to say it, if he really wants to say that Chu Yi has no plans, then Not right either.

Chu Yi calculated one person, that person was none other than the master of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao.

Chu Yi resigned from the two positions of the chief supervisor of the li and the chief of the royal horse, and left the false titles of King Wu and Taizi Taifu alone. Whether it was the title of King Wu or the official position of Taizi Taifu, the two seem to be Respect is incomparable, but there is no real power.

It is in this way that Chu Yi is slowly eliminating Zhu Houzhao's dependence on him.

In Chu Yi's view, although Daming said that there are many problems, the biggest problem is that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, is too dependent on him.

If it is said that he is a native of this world, it would be better for the emperor to rely so heavily on himself, but the crux of the problem is that he is ready to leave this world, so some funerals must be done in advance. arrange.

The emperor's temperament is magnanimous, and he values ​​affection and righteousness. This is indeed Zhu Houzhao's advantage, but in Chu Yi's view, Zhu Houzhao wants to become a qualified emperor.

Too ruthless and ruthless, it is easy to become a tyrannical prince, but too much love and righteousness will make civil and military officials lose their awe, so in Chu Yi's view, Zhu Houzhao must make some changes.

Gu Dayong, like him, was a valet who accompanied Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years. It can be said that Zhu Houzhao's affection for Gu Dayong was not necessarily much worse than his own.

In the past few months, the reason why Gu Dayong was able to make waves in the courtroom was not the trust of the emperor in him.

Judging by Zhu Houzhao's trust in Gu Dayong, it can be said that Zhu Houzhao hardly doubts what Gu Dayong said, and that's why Gu Dayong gathered a large number of officials for his use in such a short period of time. .

If Chu Yi really wanted to deal with Gu Dayong, Gu Dayong was afraid that the bones would have already cooled down by now, and the grass on the grave may be three feet high.

But Chu Yi didn't even respond to Gu Dayong's repeated provocative actions. In the final analysis, Gu Dayong was specially left to Zhu Houzhao by Chu Yi.

If you think about it, from Zhu Houzhao's ascension to the future, although there were quite a few bumps in the middle, but because of Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao did not suffer too much setbacks. Generally speaking, it can be said that it was smooth sailing.

In just a few short years, Daming has already had a sign of ZTE, and in the future, it may even surpass its ancestors.

It was precisely because all of this went so smoothly that Chu Yi helped him settle all the problems, so in Chu Yi's view, Zhu Houzhao was still a little ruthless from becoming a qualified monarch.

It's not that Zhu Houzhao needs to become the kind of ruthless king, and Chu Yi doesn't want to see Zhu Houzhao become the ruthless king, but he still needs to be decisive.

Gu Dayong was obviously left to Zhu Houzhao by Chu Yi.

Jiao Fang and the others looked at Chu Yi in confusion. Even if they were all outstanding people, it was impossible for them to guess what Chu Yi was thinking. .

Yang Yiqing is worthy of being in charge of the three sides for several times, and he looks at Chu Yi with his beard. , it is all up to Your Highness, and please Your Highness to think of the common people..."

Chu Yi slowly shook his head and said, "You all forgot which one, if that one shot, it would be of great use, what would it be?"

"what!"

Several people were stunned for a moment. Look at me, I look at you. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes, and he whispered: "Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Jiao Fang and Yang Yiqing were shocked when they heard Wang Yangming's words, and their faces showed a sudden realization. When they looked at Chu Yi again, they saw that Chu Yi was holding a teacup.

Taking a deep breath, Jiao Fang stood up and bowed to Chu Yi: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance, I will retire!"

They are all outstanding people, Chu Yi just pointed out the emperor, Jiao Fang, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, if they still can't understand, they will not be able to sit on the high position they are today.

In Gu Dayong's mansion, the sound of laughter echoed.

In the hall, more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the court and middle class gathered under Gu Dayong's gate are toasting and drinking with Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong, who was sitting on top of it, was full of joy, and an official said excitedly at this moment: "The chief is worthy of being the most important to His Majesty. When I think of today's Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, and the rest of Chu Yi and the rest of the party, they are shriveled. It makes me feel very at ease.”

"Hahaha, what Mr. Wu said is good, Jiao Fang and the others rely on Chu Yi's backing, and they are used to it. Today, the chief executive hit the head with a blow. I think he woke them up. Think about it, it's really heart-warming! "

"As the so-called feng shui turns, now that there is no Chu Yi, the chief steward is His Majesty's most reliant valet. If they want to oppose the chief steward, they are simply overthinking their abilities!"

Just as all the officials were flattering, they saw an official approaching Gu Dayong with a bit of drunkenness and said: "The great general has made great achievements in the country, and the people all over the world recite the merits of the great general. Local officials built a shrine for the chief administrator to offer incense to the people..."

"hiss……"

Gu Dayong's body tensed in an instant, his face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were full of movement.

As the name suggests, Sheng Temple is an ancestral hall for the still alive. It has always been only for the deceased to make sacrifices, and Sheng Temple has always been only for those who have done great deeds for the country and made great contributions to the people. Qualified to receive this honor.

Di Renjie, for example, was once spontaneously set up by the people to create a shrine to enjoy the worship of the people.

Similarly, latecomers such as Wei Zhongxian, when the power was in the world, local officials set up a birth shrine for Wei Zhongxian in order to flatter Wei Zhongxian.

One can imagine how honorable it is for a person to be able to set up a shrine, Gu Dayong is also a person, so when the official suggested that he should build a shrine for Gu Dayong, Gu Dayong was also a person. heartbroken.

However, Gu Dayong said with a humble look: "Sheng Temple, our family has done little credit, but Sheng can't stand the worship of this Sheng Temple!"

Even an idiot can see the expression on Gu Dayong's face, let alone these officials who are best at observing words.

Putong, putong, I saw several officials immediately bowed down to Gu Dayong and said: "The chief executive has done a great job, how can I not bear the shrine in a mere district, I will write to the local officials when I go back, and order them to start building the shrine. "

Just when Gu Dayong's mansion was very lively, Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and several patriarchs left King Wu's mansion, and several sedan chairs went straight to the Forbidden City.

In the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao is practising the health preservation method inherited from the Heavenly Master's Mansion under the guidance of the Heavenly Master Zhang Yanji.

At this moment, a servant came hurriedly. Seeing Zhu Houzhao practicing there, the servant couldn't help but boldly said, "Your Majesty, Jiao Fang, Duke An, and Duke Jin are asking to see you outside the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao's expression changed slightly, and he slowly nodded his head towards Zhang Yanjie, turned around and said to the servant: "The elders of the pavilion are here at this time, there must be something important, please quickly invite them to come here. !"

Soon, Jiao Fang, Yang Yiqing, and Wang Shouren came together.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao had been grooming a little, and he was discussing some details of the cultivation process with Zhang Yanji in a low voice. Hearing the footsteps of Jiao Fang and others, he raised his head and looked over.

Several people stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "I will wait to see Your Majesty."
