The Most Powerful Man in the World

Looking at the emperor's bedroom, Gu Dayong's heart was up and down.

Judging from the reactions of the two servants, it is clear that Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren and the others must have said bad things about themselves when they entered the palace today to meet the emperor. In fact, this is also expected. Gu Dayong is not afraid that Wang Shouren and the others will sue. What he cares most about is God's reaction.

The emperor's attitude towards him did not change, and he even sent people to reprimand Jiao Fang and the others. If nothing happened, it showed that the emperor still trusted him very much.

It's just that for some reason, Gu Dayong always has such a bad feeling in his heart.

Shaking his head, Gu Dayong murmured: "Your Majesty is a generous person by nature, and he is a person who is very affectionate. If you really want to punish me, I am afraid that the wrath of thunder has already erupted."

After comforting himself, Gu Dayong turned around and left.

In the bedroom, the emperor, who had already fallen asleep, was standing in the bedroom in a moon-white robe, and the two servants shivered and knelt down in front of the emperor.

These two servants were none other than the two servants who had been stopped and questioned by Gu Dayong before.

At this moment, the two servants faced the emperor, but they were even more stressed than when they faced Gu Dayong.

I just heard Zhu Houzhao say to the two servants: "Gu Dafang asked you what, and how did you answer."

The two inner servants talked about their conversation with Gu Dayong one by one, and even Gu Dayong's expression changed, the two inner servants secretly looked at them, and they all came together now.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and motioned the two servants to go down. Standing there alone, he sighed softly, "Jiang Qin, do you think Gu Dayong will be detrimental to me?"

In the corner, a hunched figure stood there, without a trace of movement, or even a sense of existence.

Qin An, the first person in the family, a strong man who has served several generations of emperors, has already cultivated to the point of perfection in the sunflower collection.

Qin An has always been in charge of the big inner circle, but it is very rare to be assigned by the emperor to guard him like this.

When the Governor of the Canal raised troops, it was Qin An who guarded Zhu Houzhao closely, King Ning raised troops, and the capital was under martial law, and Qin An also sat in the palace of the emperor.

Now that Qin An appeared in the emperor's palace again, if those who knew about Qin An's existence knew that Qin An appeared in the emperor's palace again, they would be shocked.

It can be said that every time Qin An appears, it means that the safety of the emperor is in crisis.

It's just that Qin An didn't react at all when he heard the words of the Son of Heaven, and just stood there.

Qin An has lived for hundreds of years, served several generations of emperors, and is used to seeing all kinds of scenes, so Qin An knows one thing, the saying that accompanying a king is like a tiger is not a lie. To live a long life, to be cautious in words and deeds, to talk less and see more is the most basic.

And Qin An is also adhering to these, coupled with his cultivation, so he was able to endure almost everyone at the same time as him, and has lived to this day, still trusted by the emperor.

The emperor naturally knew something about Qin An's temperament. He asked Qin An, but he never thought Qin An could answer him. His question was more like a sigh.

In the next few days, the weather was calm. Gu Dayong, who had been suspicious for a few days, stayed in the palace for a few days. It can be said that he served the emperor every day, but he did not find the emperor's attitude towards him changed in the slightest. Gradually Also at ease.

On this day, Jiao Fang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was assassinated on the way to the court. The originally calm capital and even the courtroom suddenly set off a stormy sea. Whether it was a civilian or a courtroom, it was like water droplets spilled from the oil pan. It caused an uproar of countless people.

With a bang, a teacup was smashed out, and in the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao roared angrily: "Bold, really bold, in broad daylight, the chief minister of the dignified cabinet was assassinated by a thief. How absurd it is, check, let me check, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must dig out the messenger behind the scenes!"

In the imperial study, more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the court lowered their heads one by one under the anger of the emperor, and thoughts were flying in their hearts.

After venting the anger in his heart, Zhu Houzhao swept over the crowd and said, "How is Jiao Aiqing's injury? It doesn't matter, when can I go to court..."

Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing looked at each other, and heard Wang Shouren step forward: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although Jiao Ge said that he was lucky enough to escape the disaster, he was also injured a little bit, and his years The matter is already high, and after being so frightened, the whole person collapses, and I am afraid that it will take more than half a year to recover before recuperating."

Zhu Houzhao frowned. Jiao Fang was fine, but it made Zhu Houzhao feel a lot more at ease, but Wang Shouren said that Jiao Fang would rest for at least half a year, which made Zhu Houzhao worried.

On the one hand, Zhu Houzhao was concerned about Jiao Fang's situation, and on the other hand, Jiao Fang was obviously unable to manage in a short period of time, but there was no shortage of a cabinet chief assistant in the courtroom, so Zhu Houzhao had to arrange one person to be the cabinet chief assistant. Take charge.

With a slight sigh, Zhu Houzhao said, "Since this is the case, then I will allow Jiao Aiqing to recuperate at home. When Jiao Aiqing recovers, he will return to court."

With that said, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong, who was standing beside him: "Gu Dayong, you will go to visit Elder Jiao Ge on behalf of me in a moment, and tell him that he is healthy and does not need to worry about the affairs of the court."

Gu Dayong responded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the slaves will definitely go to visit Elder Jiao Ge in person." Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing couldn't help frowning, but they looked at the emperor and closed them one by one. mouth.

When everyone dispersed, Gu Dayong accompanied Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing out of the imperial study, and he heard Gu Dayong say to Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing, "Aren't the two adults going to visit Jiao Ge?"

Yang Yiqing nodded at Gu Dayong with a bit of a smile on his face, but Wang Shouren looked calm and did not show any expression.

Gu Dayong didn't care about walking with the two of them. In a place where there was no one else, Gu Dayong looked at Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren with a gloomy smile on his face: "You two, you said that we If the family visits Mr. Jiao Ge, will he be very excited? Maybe Mr. Jiao is so excited that he can get out of bed and walk around..."

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Jiao Fang was actually assassinated in the capital. As for who ordered the assassination of Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing first thought of Gu Dayong.

Under normal circumstances, even if Gu Dayong wanted to smash Jiao Fang and the others into tens of thousands of pieces, it would be absolutely impossible to send someone to assassinate them.

After all, Gu Dayong's identity is here. As the chief supervisor of Li, Gu Dayong's status can be said to be respected, and he should not use such shady methods.

However, whether it was Wang Yangming or Yang Yiqing, after Jiao Fang was assassinated, the first thing they thought of was Gu Dayong, and they didn't even doubt it.

In addition to Gu Dayong, in this capital, there is really no one who dares to assassinate Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang was indeed Chu Yi's number one confidant. I don't know how many people hated him to death, but compared to Chu Yi, the hatred of those people was obviously concentrated on Chu Yi.

For several years, no one has targeted Jiao Fang. It is not long after Gu Dayong came to power, and it was not long after the conflict between Jiao Fang and Gu Dayong that Jiao Fang was assassinated. If there is no connection, Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing at least don't believe it.

The most important thing is that they walked side by side with Gu Dayong at the moment, Gu Dayong's gloomy and smug look almost didn't attack himself, so he almost didn't tell the two directly that Jiao Fang was assassinated by him. what people do.

A look of sternness flashed in his eyes, Yang Yiqing was full of suffocation, stared at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Dayong, you are so shameless that you can even use the method of sending someone to assassinate. "

The more senior you are, the more you will naturally obey the rules. Otherwise, once the rules are broken, you will be the one who will be most affected.

But for Gu Dayong, there is no self-consciousness to obey the rules. Gu Dayong thinks about it, since Jiao Fang doesn't know the current affairs, then he will try to get rid of Jiao Fang. As for whether the method is inferior, It doesn't matter if it's invisible or not.

"giggle"

Facing the angry eyes of Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren, Gu Dayong not only did not have a hint of shame on his face, but instead looked at Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing proudly, and even lowered his voice, with a bit of Threatening to the two of them: "Both of them are handsome men in the court, and my father loves them deeply. Why don't you two join forces with our family to conspire together for great things..."

Before Gu Dayong could finish speaking, he saw Wang Shouren sneered at Gu Dayong: "Wang is ashamed to be with you."

Yang Yiqing waved his sleeves abruptly and snorted coldly: "Yang is afraid that he will be reviled by others in future generations, and he will stink for thousands of years!"

Gu Dayong did not expect that he would win over the two of them like this, and the two of them were so ignorant of current affairs, and immediately saw Gu Dayong sneer and said: "If this is the case, then our family is here to wish the two of you a safe journey and all the best! "

After speaking, Gu Da waved his big hand at the several servants and said, "Lead the way ahead, this master is going to visit Jiao Ge's old mansion."

Immediately, several servants surrounded Gu Dayong and left, leaving only Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren stroked his beard and said, "Gu Dayong is so arrogant, to be so bold, how dare he threaten important officials of the court in broad daylight."

Instead, Yang Yiqing glanced at the depths of the Forbidden City and said, "It's just a clown jumping on the beam, I'm just curious, what does Your Majesty mean."

After all, Jiao Fang had already reported Gu Dayong's guilt to the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven was by no means the kind of ignorant master. Although he said that it was true that he believed in the importance of Gu Dayong, Jiao Fang and the others listed Gu Dayong's guilt. After the accusation, if the Son of Heaven did not respond at all, they would not believe it in the first place.

It's just that it's been a few days, and the emperor has no movement at all. Not only did he not take any action against Gu Dayong, but Gu Dayong became more and more arrogant, and even the chief assistant of the court dared to send someone to assassinate him. .

Just when Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing were there to guess in a low voice what the emperor's intention was, the emperor who came down to court came to the queen's palace.

The queen who got the news greeted the emperor early at the gate of the palace. When she saw the emperor, she immediately realized that the emperor was in a bad mood.

However, the queen did not ask. The fact that the harem was not allowed to intervene in politics was done quite well in the Ming Dynasty, at least not like other dynasties, where the harem intervened in politics everywhere.

The emperor came down to court, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood. The queen naturally knew that this was most likely caused by the affairs of the court.

After making tea for the emperor himself, the queen said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, drink some water!"

The emperor took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and gently rubbed the warm teacup in his hand and suddenly said, "Elder Jiao Ge was assassinated!"

"What, Jiao Ge was assassinated?"

When the queen heard this, there was a look of astonishment on her face. Even if the queen didn't care about the affairs of the court, she knew that Jiao Fang was the chief assistant of the court. The chief assistant of the cabinet was assassinated in the capital, which was unbelievable to the empress.

The queen subconsciously said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this... how is this possible, that is the first assistant of the dynasty, who is it, who dares to be so bold, even the cabinet's first assistant dares to assassinate, doesn't it mean that if they are willing If so, even His Majesty, they would dare to assassinate him."

Assassinating the chief assistant of the cabinet is tantamount to rebellion. Perhaps the chief assistant of the cabinet is much worse than the emperor, but since the other party dares to assassinate the chief assistant of the cabinet, if the other party wants to assassinate the emperor, no one will find it strange.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed the teacup's hand for a moment, and slowly said with a strange look in his eyes: "Yes, even the chief minister of the cabinet dares to assassinate, and I haven't been put in my eyes when I want to come here."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice to the attendant beside him, "Secretly summoned Yu Huatian to see me!"

As Zhu Houzhao's valet, he naturally knew what to say and what not to say, so he hurriedly bowed his head and left.

The queen glanced at the emperor, but did not say much about Jiao Fang's assassination, and kept her duty.

About half an hour later, I saw Yu Huatian in Chinese clothes striding along with the servant, walking to the emperor, Yu Huatian paid tribute to the emperor and said, "Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Factory, pay homage to Your Majesty. ."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Huatian, and glanced at the people around him, the queen who was sitting there hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the concubine still has some things to deal with, and I will serve Your Majesty later. "

The emperor nodded slightly.

The queen took the people away, and suddenly there were only a few people left in the hall. Apart from Yu Huatian, there were only a few valet who served the emperor.

At this moment, Zhu Hou looked at Yu Huatian and said, "Yu Huatian, how are you doing what I want you to investigate?"

Yu Huatian said calmly: "The servant lives up to His Majesty's expectations, and has already checked everything that Director Gu has done. Although I dare not say that it is [-]% accurate, everything is true and there is no error."

As he spoke, Yu Huatian took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve, and on it were densely listed the things that Gu Dayong had done.

The power of Xichang may not be as good as that of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but in the capital, Xichang's strength is not bad at all. When Xichang tries its best to check a person, as long as the other party is still in the capital, then It must be checked upside down.

What kind of character is Gu Dayong, when the newly promoted director of li, I don't know how many people compliment the existence, and it can definitely be regarded as one person under ten thousand people.

Zhu Houzhao took over the thick stack of papers presented by Yuhuatian from the inner attendant, and his eyes quickly changed. Use what you do after the top.

Gu Dayong can be said to be a person who does not know how high the sky is once he is in power. Relying on the trust of the emperor, he has been aggressively forming parties for personal gain since he came to power, accepting bribes and even raising dead soldiers.

For example, many officials are engaged in forming parties for personal gain and accepting bribes. It is nothing more than the fact that the court has not investigated them. Once they are investigated, I am afraid that none of these officials will be able to escape the disaster.

But these officials never dared to raise the dead. If they were to raise the dead, it would be really serious, and it would directly involve the crime of rebellion.

However, among the news investigated by the West Factory, there is the matter of Gu Dayong raising the dead, so it is said that when the emperor saw that Gu Dayong had formed a party for selfishness, his expression became so ugly when he was raising the dead.

Zhu Houzhao didn't believe in Jiao Fang and the others, so he took Yuhuatian to secretly investigate what Gu Dayong did. After all, the relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Gu Dayong was very deep, and Zhu Houzhao was not willing to accept Jiao's actions. Fang listed Gu Dayong's guilt one by one.

In fact, some of Gu Dayong’s guilt is not because Zhu Houzhao can’t let Gu Dayong take a shot. After all, like the matter of accepting bribes, Zhu Houzhao also knows a little bit. When the water is clear, there are no fish. Corruption and bribery in officialdom are almost impossible to eradicate. , This is unavoidable even when Chu Yi is in charge of the Sili Supervisor and sits in the court.

Gu Dayong is more greedy, and Zhu Houzhao will not care, but even if Zhu Houzhao acquiesced, Gu Dayong must have a bottom line in his actions. Otherwise, no matter how much Zhu Houzhao believes in Gu Dayong, he will definitely not spare Gu Da. use.

The thick stack of paper is densely packed with information about the things Gu Dayong has done since he took office. Although some of the details are not available, it can be said that Xichang has collected so much information about Gu Dayong in a short period of time. The evidence of the crime is to show the ability of Xichang to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao looked at them one by one, and the whole person looked very calm, and it seemed that people couldn't see what Zhu Houzhao was thinking.

Yu Huatian knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao with his head down, and there was a rushing sound in his ears, as well as Zhu Houzhao's repressed heavy breathing.

Suddenly, I heard Zhu Houzhao shouting angrily, and smashed the paper in his hand fiercely, and suddenly a thick stack of paper flew in the sky, and Zhu Houzhao was heard angrily: "I am angry, Gu Da. Dare to do it!"

It is really shocking and unbelievable that the accusations about Gu Dayong collected by the West Factory are all gathered together one by one.

But what really irritated the emperor was the news of the West Factory investigation. In the case of Jiao Fang's assassination that broke out not long ago, the behind-the-scenes instigator is most likely Gu Dayong.

That is the chief assistant of the cabinet. Gu Dayong even dared to send someone to assassinate him. How bold is this? Even Zhu Houzhao never thought that the assassination of Jiao Fang would be done by Gu Dayong.
