The Most Powerful Man in the World

Seemingly unintentionally, Xu Chu smiled at Chu Yi and said, "It's a pity that the Governor's stay in Jiangnan will not be long, otherwise, I can serve as a guide and show the Governor a glimpse of the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River."

Chu Yi paused and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that Chu would make such a big mess in Jiangnan this time. I think it's time for the news to reach the capital!"

Chu Yi said with a smile: "If there is no accident, the memorial of the old prince should be placed on His Majesty's desk by now!"

Xu Chu stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "The duty is, this gentleman was ordered to sit in Nanjing City, and naturally he must be worthy of His Majesty's trust."

Xu Chu blinked at Chu Yi, and said like an urchin: "Why don't the governor guess what the old man said in the memorial?"

Chu Yi chuckled and shook his head as if he was inadvertently saying, "How can the mind of the old man be something that one of Chu's juniors can guess through, can't guess, can't guess!"

Xu Chu glanced at Chu Yi and sighed: "I have only seen a person like the governor in my life. He will surely rise to the top of the sky in the future, and he will dominate the world. I don't know when I will be under the care of the governor!"

Chu Yi sighed: "The old prince is joking, who doesn't know that Xu's family is a two-country prince, who is the first honorable person in the Ming Dynasty, and he is with the country, so why do you need Chu to take care of him!"

The two seemed to appreciate the surrounding scenery, but the words were mixed with various temptations and confrontations. Facing an old fox like Wei Guogong, Chu Yi had to brace up to deal with it.

Above the Huxin Pavilion, he waved his servants and maids back, and Xu Yu said with a straight face: "Wu Jingbo, the Hu clan and others, is the Governor going to escort them to the capital for execution?"

Chu Yi put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head and said, "Nanjing and the capital are thousands of miles away, but Chu never thought of taking them thousands of miles away."

Xu Chu nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, let's choose another day to execute it!"

Chu Yi nodded, and in a few words, the two most powerful beings in Nanjing City decided the life and death of Wu Jingbo and others.

More than an hour later, Chu Yi and Wei Guogong returned to the hall. At this moment, in the hall, those land deeds and the like have been divided up. The nobles and nobles who were fighting to be a group are now gathered in groups of threes and twos. Talking softly together, just by looking at the expressions of these people, I know that everyone has gained a lot.

Chu Fang handed an account book to Chu Yi and said, "Master, this is an account book!"

Chu Yi just glanced at it and put it into his cuff.

The banquet dispersed early, and Chu Yi said goodbye to Wei Guogong and returned to the East Factory stronghold.

In the study, Chu Yi was looking at the ledger, which was full of recorded data. At the end, Chu Yi couldn't help shrinking his eyes when he saw the total amount of the transaction.

Three million [-] taels of silver grain, which means that according to the original price, such as shops and fields, it is worth more than six million taels.

Such a large sum of money is really terrifying, but think about the dozens of families, large and small, that Chu Yi has stolen this time.

Wu Jingbo, the Hu family, and the Zhou family, these three families alone could confiscated at least five or six million taels of property.

Of course, the real gold and silver only add up to more than five million taels. This is because of the addition of several maritime merchants such as Zhou and Wu Peng, the general of Zhaowu.

If three days later, if those people sent all the gold and silver, then it would add up, then Chu Yi really scoured nearly ten million taels of gold and silver.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi put down the account book, and his eyes fell on Cao Shaoqin, Chu Fang, Qi Hu, and Shi Kui, and said slowly: "Withdraw one hundred thousand taels of silver from the treasury, and you will share it with the same subordinates. !"

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat more grass. Chu Yi is not the kind of person who is old-fashioned and does not know how to adapt. Since he took charge of Dongchang, he has always rewarded his subordinates. All attached.

Compared with the nearly ten million taels of grain silver, the [-] taels of silver may seem far worse, but don't forget, this time Dongchang and Shi Kui's subordinates, the full count is only a few hundred people.

Even if those soldiers were dozens of taels per person, they would only cost [-] to [-] taels at most. The rest would go to Chu Fang, Cao Shaoqin, Shi Kui, and Qi Hu, each of whom would probably be at least nearly [-] taels.

Hearing that Chu Yi was so generously rewarded, Cao Shaoqin and the others immediately showed joy, and they all bowed to Chu Yi.

He waved his hand to make everyone retreat, Chu Yi's mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he communicated with the altar of luck and immediately learned that his luck point has reached about [-]. Obviously, the great Confucian classics presented by Cao Shaoqin made him a lot of gas. Luck point.

Daily practice is a must for Chu Yi, and his cultivation is the foundation of his life, so over the years, no matter what, he will insist on practice.

Not long ago, he fought against Hattori Guizo. Although he could easily suppress the opponent, he also made the opponent escape. This made Chu Yi realize that his strength was not invincible.

Above the rivers and lakes, there may not be an existence that can rival or even surpass it, such as the undefeated East, or that swordsman Feng Qingyang.

Even if the world is big, there may not be other hermit masters, with a long history and unfathomable Taoism, Wudang School is really nothing in Taoism, the most famous ones are Tianshi Tao, Quanzhen Tao, Lingbao Tao , Qingwei Road.

All the celestial masters of Tianshi Dao in the past dynasties are all Taoist leaders. For example, Shao Yuanjie is the old master. Chu Yi has never contacted other Taoist masters, but Shao Yuanjie Chu Yi is very impressed. This is definitely a Taoist no less than him. strong.

Therefore, it is really nothing to say that the powerhouses involved in a mere arrogant story are placed in the huge background world under this big tomorrow.

As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes are only a corner of the river and mountains. Buddhism is not only a line of Zen represented by Shaolin, but Buddhism alone has eight schools, and Confucianism has representatives such as Wang Yangming.

Aside from the Central Plains, the foreign races outside the Central Plains, such as Tartar, Oara, and Dongying, are also crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Therefore, it is too early to say that although Chu Yi is strong, he is invincible in the world.

As soon as he thought about it, he saw a hundred qi fortune turned into firewood burning, and the altar shook slightly. Chu Yi only felt that the whole person seemed to have entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and the sunflower infuriating qi in the body was running smoothly, and an hour was enough. It takes a few days of penance.

If Chu Yi has enough luck points, he is absolutely sure to push his cultivation to the strongest in this world.

After a long time, the blessing effect of the altar of luck receded, Chu Yi opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed away. The cultivation effect blessed by the altar of luck was simply amazing. If Chu Yi was not strong enough, change someone May really hit all the luck points.

It's not that Chu Yi doesn't know the importance of improving his strength, but now that his cultivation base has reached the innate realm, even if he consumes Luck Points every day to cultivate, it will take enough time.

It's impossible for Chu Yi to ignore everything every day, just hide and devote his head to cultivating hard. That way, his cultivation will improve fast enough, but where will his luck points come from?

The luck point is not that Chu Yi will fall from the sky when he hides and cultivates with all his heart. Just by looking at the fact that Chu Yi has spent so much effort over the years to barely accumulate more than [-] points of luck, it can be seen that the luck point is not that much. Good to get.

Just when Chu Yi wanted to raid his family and exterminate his family in Nanjing City, the [-]-mile expedited memorials flew to the capital like snowflakes.

After the beginning of the autumn, the emperor Zhu Houzhao was in a bad mood. Zhu Zhixiu, the clan, even raised troops to rebel, and even used the banner of the Qingjun side. Isn't this hitting him in the face?

Since ancient times, there are several emperors who have been played as the banner of Qingjun, and there are a few who can fall into a good reputation, or they will end up in the history of history as a tyrant and a foolish monarch.

That's all, Zhu Houzhao can still see it openly, but what makes him unbearable is that all the military officials in the court suddenly seem to have negotiated and impeach Liu Jin, the director of the Si Lijian, and Chu Yi, the director of the East Factory. , and even Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was impeached.

Chu Yi's inspection place is not in the capital, but it avoids the concentration of firepower. As a result, Liu Jin naturally fell badly. A large number of impeachment memorials naturally have to pass through Liu Jin's hands. It can be said that Liu Jin's roar can be heard every day these days. .

In the face of the soaring sentiments among the military officials of the DPRK and Chinese, and even the local governor began to impeach him with a memorial, Liu Jin couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

In the leopard room, Liu Jin was kneeling in front of Zhu Houzhao. He had kicked footprints on his body. He was very embarrassed. The memorials were scattered all over the ground, while Zhu Houzhao's face was blue. .

Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and other close attendants who were serving on the side all lowered their heads and did not dare to touch Zhu Houzhao's bad heads at this time.

Three thousand words a piece, seven chapters are equivalent to ten more chapters of other people's two thousand words, don't think too little.Asking for a monthly pass, and rewarding Biao, big guys, let this book rush to the monthly pass list, please, the new book can't get up, so I can only be distracted to take care of the old book, after all, the author also has to support the family, alas! .

Chapter 8 Forcing the Palace [[-] More Monthly Tickets]

Zhu Houzhao grabbed the teacup next to him and drank the warm tea in it, threw the teacup on the coffee table with a bang, and watched Liu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, angrily lift his foot towards Liu Jin and go down again.

Liu Jin fell down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins..."

However, Zhu Houzhao is a person with a honest and honest temperament, and he has always been pleasant to those who are close to him, and it is rare to see him get angry.

This time Zhu Houzhao was really angry, and it was conceivable that Zhu Houzhao could be so angry.But for those close to him, even if Zhu Houzhao was angry, he would vent it out immediately, and it would be fine in the past. If there is no reaction, then he is really angry.

And Liu Jin knew exactly Zhu Houzhao's temperament, so when Zhu Houzhao kicked him, Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and cooperated with Zhu Houzhao to spread the fire.

Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong on the side just watched it with a cold eye. Whether it was Gu Dayong or Zhang Yong, it was an open and secret struggle with Liu Jin. If Liu Jin really angered Zhu Houzhao, they would only secretly rejoice, but seeing When Zhu Houzhao kicked Liu Jin, they knew that this incident had passed with Zhu Houzhao.

After kicking a few times, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin who was lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state, thinking that the other party had been by his side for so many years, he sighed in his heart and turned to sit on the seat and said to Liu Jin: "Old thing, don't pretend Now, I still don't know you, tell me honestly, what the hell is going on."

Liu Jinyi grunted and got up, bowed his body and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this old slave is doing everything according to the laws of the court. Who would have thought that those people would have to put the old slave to death!"

As soon as he saw the memorials on the ground, almost all of them impeached him, Liu Jin gritted his teeth angrily, Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion had nothing to do with him, why should he push everything on him.

Because of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion, Liu Jin's life has been very sad these few days. He thought it was just an ordinary rebellion against the king.

It is just a mere border county king, and it is impossible to set off any storms. If it wasn't for the rebellion published by the other party, it was proposed to clear the king's side, remove the eunuch, and the goal was directly directed at him and Chu Yi. its in mind.

After all, he has also assisted Zhu Houzhao in managing the government for several years. Liu Jin is not a fool, and he still has some understanding of the general trend of the future.

Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion could not even leave Ningxia for a while.

For this reason, Liu Jin even abandoned his previous suspicions and recommended Yang Yiqing, who had offended him in the past, to be responsible for the suppression of the rebellion of King Anhua.

I thought that until Zhu Zhixiu was exterminated, there would be nothing to do.

However, the development of things was beyond Liu Jin's imagination. Those civil officials and even some military generals did not know what to do, but they joined together to write one memorial after another.

When Chu Yi left the capital, these people naturally targeted Liu Jin. Liu Jin could only hold down the memorial for a few days. Today, he couldn't hold back the matter, so he could only bring some of the memorials to meet the emperor.

Hence the scene where Zhu Houzhao went wild.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his forehead and glanced at Liu Jin. As the only son of Emperor Hongzhi, it can be said that Zhu Houzhao has been well educated since childhood. Although his temperament is a bit eccentric, Zhu Houzhao is actually quite transparent about national affairs.

If not for this, how could Zhu Houzhao single-handedly push Liu Jin to the position of eunuch, the supervisor of the ceremonies, and the power to approve the use of the red seal.

In the old Hongzhi Dynasty, Xie Qian, Liu Jian and other famous ministers were suppressed by Liu Jin and expelled from the court, but Li Dongyang, who was left behind, was in charge of the cabinet to contain Liu Jin.

It can be said that all of this is under Zhu Houzhao's control. From the beginning to the end, Liu Jin's everything has not escaped Zhu Houzhao's control, so later Zhu Houzhao was under pressure to easily take down Liu Jin, who was in power for a while. , did not even cause a little turbulence.

Glancing at Zhu Houzhao secretly, Liu Jin said with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty, look at these people, how sinister they are, to put Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion on the old slave, the old slave is really wronged!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and reassured Liu Jin: "Liu Dafan, I know that Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion cannot be forced by you, Dafan."

When Liu Jin heard the words, he said with gratitude: "Your Majesty is holy, this old servant is so dedicated and wholeheartedly assisting His Majesty that in order to collect taxes, he has offended a large number of people. I didn't expect that these people would fall for the old servant!"

Here, Liu Jin went to the leopard room to ask Zhu Houzhao, and in the capital, in a courtyard, more than a dozen figures gathered together.

In this courtyard, at least [-]% or more of the important officials of the three provinces and six ministries gathered in the court, and one of them was the most striking figure, the famous Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe is now a member of the cabinet. Although he is said to be less powerful than Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, as Li Dongyang was gradually abandoned by the civil service group, Yang Tinghe's voice in the cabinet has become more and more important, even surpassing Li Dongyang's influence .

Being able to gather so many ministers in the court together shows that what they did was extraordinary, but there was no Li Dongyang among so many important officials.

Yang Tinghe glanced at everyone and smiled slightly: "Everyone, Liu Jin has already gone to the leopard room. He obviously can't stand the pressure we put on him, and he's already panicked!"

Everyone smiled when they heard this. Although Liu Jin was in power, so what? As long as they work together, whether it is the cabinet or the inner court, they can set off a storm.

As a member of the cabinet, Mao Ji stroked his beard and said: "There is a lot of love in the capital now, I will take the opportunity to take Liu Jin down, or else I will suffer his backlash."

Ministry of Industry Minister Bi Heng nodded and said: "Yes, the snake will not die but suffer from it. If you can't take this opportunity to take Liu Jin, I don't know when it will be better."

It can be said that the important ministers who represented most of the civil and military will of the DPRK at the scene unified their opinions one by one, and made up their minds to take Liu Jin.

A gray-haired Hu Ming was an old minister, stroked his gray beard and stood up and said: "Everyone, let's go to the leopard room to meet your majesty, ask for your orders for the people, and urge your majesty to take down Liu Jin, the eunuch who has brought disaster to the country, or I will wait. I can't stand kneeling."

As a veteran of several dynasties, although Hu Ming's official position in the court is not high, as a censor, he has a lot of influence.

"Yes, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, I won't be able to kneel for a long time!"

Yang Tinghe nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, at this time, you must invite Lord Shoufu and some adults to come with you!"

When the others heard the words, they suddenly nodded and said: "What Yang Ge said is very true, Lord Shoufu will accompany you, and with you, we will carry the great righteousness of the people. for!"

In Li Dongyang's mansion, as the first assistant appointed by the emperor, Li Dongyang can be said to be of high authority, but at this moment, this foreign minister, who can be said to be under one person and more than ten thousand people, has a gloomy look on his face.

Seeing Li Dongyang's expression, his son Li Zhaofan couldn't help but whisper, "Why is my father so sad!"

Li Dongyang raised his head and glanced at Li Zhaofan, although Li Zhaofan was not his own son, but the eldest son and this son died early, and he was unfilial and had no descendants, so Li Dongyang adopted Li Zhaofan as his third son, regarded him as his own, and took him with him to teach.

"I begged the Son of Heaven for permission to serve my father, but the Son of Heaven rejected it again and gave him a reward, which is very puppet in my father's heart!"

Li Zhaofan comforted Li Dongyang and said, "My father is the arm of His Majesty's cronies. His Majesty has always been kind to his father, and His Majesty is not allowed to ask for bones several times. This is a manifestation of His Majesty's trust in his father."

Li Dongyang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's why I feel ashamed of your majesty as a father, but as the chief assistant of the cabinet, I can't help your majesty to act in the cabinet. It's a dereliction of duty!"

After a slight pause, how could Li Zhaofan not know the current situation of Li Dongyang in the DPRK? It seems that Li Dongyang is high above, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, but those civil officials are vaguely rejecting him, especially Li Dongyang's position in the previous episode was not firm enough, plus these few In the next year, he faintly succumbed to Liu Jin's power, causing Li Dongyang's prestige to gradually lose.

I just heard Li Zhaofan say with a bit of anger: "Why should my father care about the attitudes of those people, and my father has done nothing wrong. Is it impossible for my father to do everything according to their wishes?"
