The Most Powerful Man in the World

Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, he saw a figure hurriedly approaching, and the movement was not small, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. The two looked at them together and saw Qian Ning, the commander of Jinyiwei, hurriedly approaching. When he saw Chu Yi, his eyes shrank, and with a thud, he knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi, and kept kowtowing: "I am guilty, I am guilty..."

Zhu Houzhao frowned when Qian Ning came up looking like he was begging for guilt. Looking at Qian Ning, he heard Zhu Houzhao say, "Qian Ning, what's going on?"

Qian Ning lay there with a sad face, lowered his head and dared not look at Zhu Houzhao, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this minister has neglected his duty, and he has failed to take good care of Director Gu..."

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "What happened to Gu Dayong?"

Chu Yi sat on the side and looked at Qian Ning with a calm expression. At this moment, Qian Ning said in a trembling voice: "Manager Gu... Manager Gu, he was in the prison, and he committed suicide when others were unprepared..."

His body trembled slightly, and a bit of sadness flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes. At the same time, he sighed slightly and said to Qian Ning, "Did Gu Dafan really commit suicide, not kill him?"

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao doubted whether Gu Dayong committed suicide or not. After all, Gu Dayong's case involved a lot. If Gu Dayong was used as a breakthrough point, he would be able to involve a large number of officials.

Therefore, when the Gu Dayong incident broke out, it may not be that no one thought about killing Gu Dayong, in order to cut off many clues. Gu Dayong did not die. Some people just arranged things to eat and sleep well.

Qian Ning couldn't help but look terrified when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, the minister takes Xiang Shang's head to guarantee that Director Gu definitely did not die of homicide, but actually committed suicide in prison, and Director Gu was in prison before committing suicide. There is a blood book left on the stone wall, which can prove that Director Gu committed suicide, not homicide."

Gu Dayong committed suicide. Although he was suspected of dereliction of duty as the commander of Jinyiwei, there is still a certain difference between the two when compared to Gu Dayong's dereliction of duty when he was killed in the imperial prison.

Zhu Houzhao heard that Gu Dayong actually left a blood book and couldn't help saying: "What blood book, what words did Gu Dayong leave behind!"

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and said to Chu Yi: "My companion, let's go to the imperial prison with me. Gu Dafan is dead, I have a fight with his monarch and minister, and I should go to see him for the last time."

Gu Dayong died in the imperial prison. It can be said that the imperial prison looked like a great enemy from top to bottom.

When Qian Ning, Chu Yi, and Zhu Houzhao appeared in the prison, they keenly felt this strong atmosphere.

Entering the imperial prison, a foul and pungent aura rushed towards his face. With Chu Yi's cultivation, he could completely block his breathing, but Zhu Houzhao was the first time he entered the imperial prison, and as soon as he entered it, he was the first to be hit by that one. The pungent smell hit him.

Chu Yi handed a handkerchief to Chu Yi and said, "Your Majesty, cover it up."

Taking the handkerchief, Zhu Houzhao blocked his nose and mouth. If he didn't value Gu's great use, I'm afraid Zhu Houzhao would have turned around and left by now.

Not long ago, before the prison where Gu Dayong was.

Along the way, Zhu Houzhao saw more than one prison. Among so many prisons, only the one in front of him was located in the deepest part of the prison, and it was also the most heavily guarded one. This only depends on the number of guards patrolling around. You can see the difference.

Pointing to the prison in front of him, Qian Ning first glanced at Zhu Houzhao's expression secretly, and then said, "Your Majesty, Director Gu's body is in the prison. After finding out that Director Gu is dead, the minister ordered to block this place."

At this moment, Chu Yi's eyes fell on Gu Dayong in the prison.

Gu Dayong's body sat there quietly, and in front of him was a stone wall, and on the stone wall in front of him, a blurry blood letter appeared in his sight.

Zhu Houzhao walked into the prison, and Chu Yi stood beside Zhu Houzhao. The two of them could clearly see what was written on the stone wall. Chu Yi was just as calm as water, but Zhu Houzhao was quite rude and continued: " Gu Dafen, why are you doing this, why did I ever say that I would kill you..."

It turned out that there were only a few words in the blood letter on the wall - Your Majesty, this minister has owed the emperor's grace, and now I apologize for it with death!

Although he said that he looked ambiguous, he was able to recognize that, Zhu Houzhao was no stranger to Gu Dayong's handwriting, and it was certain that the blood book was indeed from Gu Dayong's hand.

Gu Dayong just looked like a stone wall, with his back to Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi.

He took a few steps forward and turned around. From the side, he could see that Gu Dayong's face was calm. At first glance, the whole person seemed to be asleep, but his body had lost his breath.

Chu Yi stepped forward, put his hand on Gu Dayong's arm, and checked it out.

Zhu Houzhao stood aside and looked at Chu Yi and said, "How is it, my partner?"

Chu Yi nodded at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, it is certain that Gu Dayong did commit suicide, not homicide!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh with sadness: "Gu Dayong knows that I am very embarrassed about how to deal with him. He doesn't want to see me embarrassed, so he chose to commit suicide!"

It has to be said that Zhu Houzhao is too affectionate, and it is more likely that Gu Dayong committed suicide because Gu Dayong is very aware of the things he has done.

With so many evil deeds, even if the Son of Heaven is willing to spare his life, in the key court, the level of civil and military officials may not be able to pass.

Gu Dayong's case is very involved, and I don't know how many eyes are on it. Unless the emperor is willing to take advantage of his own reputation, it is impossible to protect Gu Dayong.

With the emperor's control over the court, if he insisted on saving the great use of Gu, there is a real possibility of saving his life.

After talking with Chu Yi, Gu Dayong suddenly woke up, so there was something that Gu Dayong used to apologize for his death.

Gu Dayong died to apologize, but many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if Gu Dayong was alive, those people who were quite involved with Gu Dayong might be killed by Gu Dayong. Recruit out.

Gu Dayong must die. Above the court, facing Gu Dayong's criminal evidence, it is absolutely impossible for the officials to allow Gu Dayong to escape the punishment of the national law.

If it is said that Zhu Houzhao used the seal to punish Yu Gu Dayong, it would be nothing. If it is true that the net is open and extrajudicial, it will definitely have a great impact on Zhu Houzhao's reputation.

Gu Dayong committed suicide now, but Zhu Houzhao, who was in a dilemma, breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Zhu Houzhao felt a change in his mood, but he couldn't help but blame himself.

Because Zhu Houzhao realized that deep down in his heart, while he was relieved, it was hope that Gu Da was used to death.For a while, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but froze there.

Chu Yi noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, you are..."

Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, told Chu Yi about the changes in his heart, and then looked at Chu Yi and said, "Da Compan, do you think I have changed? I actually hoped that Gu Dabian would die by himself, okay? Let me not have to be in a dilemma!"

Chu Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has not changed, even if it is someone else, it may be just like His Majesty. In any case, at least in this case, Gu Dayong died, and His Majesty no longer has to worry about Gu Dayong's night. Can't sleep."

Looking at Gu Dayong's body, Zhu Houzhao sighed and said to Qian Ning aside, "Qian Ning, pass on my will, so that Gu Dayong's body can be collected and buried."

After leaving the Jinyiwei Prison, Chu Yi said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the palace of King Wu on his own, while Zhu Houzhao drove back to the palace.

It didn't take long for the cabinet to receive a case about Gu Dayong sent back by the emperor. Seeing the seal stamped on the case, the elders were all secretly relieved.

They were really afraid that Zhu Houzhao would think about putting the valley to make a living, and they were even ready to speak directly to the emperor. Once Zhu Houzhao refused to use the seal, they would jointly speak out, and in any case would not let Zhu Houzhao's reputation. Ruined on Gu Dayong's body.

Now Gu Dayong knows his own interests and committed suicide in the prison. In the eyes of Yang Yiqing, Wang Hua and others, although Gu Dayong said that there are many things wrong, but just looking at his ability to choose suicide in order to prevent Zhu Houzhao from being in a dilemma It can be seen that Gu Dayong's loyalty to Zhu Houzhao.

It's a pity that Gu Dayong is loyal, but he is greedy, so that he has done one after another, one after another, the disaster of the country and the people.

Gu Dayong's immortality is not enough to quell the anger of the people, and it is not enough to deter latecomers. Above the court, everyone with discerning eyes knows that there is only one way for Gu Dayong to choose, and that is death.

Tianjin Wei

As the gateway of Gyeonggi, with the implementation of the policy of opening the sea, Tianjin Wei has developed more and more prosperous in recent years, and the port has also expanded several times.

The five hundred and sixtieth chapters of the chaos [2 more]

On the sea outside the port, merchant ships came in and out in an orderly manner, a busy scene, and on the sea in the distance, blurred ship shadows emerged.

The port is prosperous, but ships come and go is normal, and sometimes there are even some caravans in groups, almost as many as a dozen ships.

On the observation deck of the port, several scribes who were responsible for observing the ships coming and going and counting the in and out of the ships suddenly found that a group of ships appeared in the telescopic mirror.

When they saw such a group of ships, several scribes couldn't help showing doubts.

These ships are not only numerous, the most important thing is that the construction style of these ships is fundamentally different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

If it is the past, seeing these ships, perhaps these scribes will feel confused and not sure what is going on with these ships, but in the past two years, I have seen too many ships, even Some merchant ships from overseas have seen no less than dozens of them.

Therefore, when these scribes saw the ships of different styles in the telescopic mirror, they immediately realized that these ships were definitely from overseas fleets.

"One, two,... ten..."

"Oh my God, why are there so many ships? Could it be that this is a large foreign caravan?"

Several scribes were stunned to find that the number of ships was extremely large. When they counted fifty ships, there were still ships behind them.

This is definitely a fleet of no less than a hundred ships.

"No, this is definitely not a caravan, hurry up and alarm!"

In the blink of an eye, the sound of breaking the air was heard, and the fireworks exploded in the air, and the port was suddenly broken.

Although it was clear sky and daylight, when the blossoming fireworks exploded in the air, it still alarmed countless people.

A group of people raised their heads and looked into the air. Many people were dazed when they saw it. Obviously, these people did not understand what the fireworks meant.

But in the port, the person in charge of the town was a guerrilla general, Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan stood up suddenly, and rushed out of the room wearing a uniform, shouting at several of his guards: "Who suddenly fired a firework alarm, what's going on!"

Several personal guards are also at a loss at this moment. After all, the incident happened suddenly and there was no warning at all, and everyone was at a loss.

When Cheng Yan quickly rushed into the port, the scribes had already left the watchtower and informed the thousands of officials in the port of what they had seen.

At this moment, the officials of Qianhu are reporting the results to Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan climbed out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and walked step by step to today's military honors. Although he is only a viscount under an earl, he This also shows that Cheng Yan is by no means incompetent.

It can be assigned to guard such an important place as Tianjin Guard Port, unless the head of the Ministry of War is flooded, otherwise, anyone who is a little normal will not ignore Tianjin Guard, the important gateway to Gyeonggi.

Yang Yiqing was obviously someone who knew soldiers, and being able to choose Cheng Yan to be stationed in Tianjin Guard meant that Cheng Yan's ability was recognized by Yang Yiqing.

Cheng Yan pushed the thousand-household official away and rushed directly to the observation deck. Using the telescopic mirror, Cheng Yan could clearly see the continuous fleet of ships rushing towards the port.

From the discovery to the sounding of the alarm, to the arrival of Cheng Yan, almost a stick of incense has passed. After such a long time, the ship that was originally just a vague shadow on the sea surface is now approaching the port, and the most tea Kung fu will reach the port.

In the telescopic mirror, you can clearly see the exposed gun barrels of the ships. These ships are not caravans at all, but out-and-out warships.

Cheng Yan is not an incompetent person. The appearance of these battleships made Cheng Yan aware of the crisis. Almost at the moment when these battleships were confirmed, Cheng Yan roared at the personal soldiers under the observation deck and the thousand-household official with a solemn expression: " Pass my order, immediately mobilize all horses to enter the port, and all the warships in the port set sail, ready to fight at any time!"

No matter what the purpose of these warships is, since he is responsible for garrisoning the port, he must make all preparations.

It would be fine if the other party did not have any malicious intentions, but if the other party really came with malicious intent, then he was not the one who was passively beaten.

Soon Cheng Yan's military order was conveyed, and teams of soldiers entered the port in an orderly manner, some of them entered the defensive position, and some started to evacuate the merchants in the port.

Until this time, the businessmen who were bewildered by the fireworks that suddenly exploded in the air still had no idea what was going on.

Although many people have some vague guesses in their hearts, no one could have imagined that Cheng Yan was already mentally prepared for the worst at this moment.

Therefore, when these merchants were forcibly ordered to leave the port, many people almost instinctively objected.

Their merchant ships and even their goods are still in the port at the moment, so that many merchants are rude and cheating in various ways, but they refuse to leave the port.

"We are the caravan of the Dingjun Hou family, and my family Hou Ye was your general's boss..."

"My lord is the uncle of the emperor, you should think about the consequences..."

As long as it can involve overseas trade, it can be said that few companies have no background. If there is no strong background, the investment in the business of overseas trade alone is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In particular, Tianjin Wei, as the gateway of Gyeonggi, must have a strong background relationship if it wants to expand and strengthen its business around the capital.

At this moment, these people pulled out their backers one by one, and it can be said that one is more scary than the other.

These soldiers who were instructed to listen to these were either Hou Ye or Wang Ye, many of them were stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Cheng Yan watched a thousand-household official in front of him lowered his head and reported to him the situation of the people in the evacuation port. Hearing that many people refused to leave because of the forces behind him, he couldn't help but look angrily and said: "Waste, really Waste, military orders are like mountains, not to mention they are just a group of slaves, even if the real Dingjun Hou and Qin King are here, in front of the military law, it doesn't matter what their status is."

As he said that, a cold light flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes, and he said coldly: "If the order goes on, everyone must leave the port. If there is any resistance, they will be killed without mercy."

Cheng Yan, who was full of suffocation, had given the order, and the hearts of several thousand and one hundred officials were awe-inspiring.

Facing a group of soldiers, a white-faced steward led more than a dozen servants behind him, and said extremely arrogantly: "Let your general come to see me, but we have to ask, he is so courageous that he even Would the royal caravan dare to be rude..."

This steward is obviously from the palace, otherwise, he would never dare to say such words.
