The Most Powerful Man in the World

Hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhao Gou, who was originally apprehensive, was suddenly overjoyed and looked at Chu Yi with great surprise, while Zhao Ji was also extremely surprised to look at Chu Yi and Zhao Gou.

As for whether Zhao Gou could persuade Chu Yi, in fact, Zhao Ji did not believe that Chu Yi would choose to support Zhao Gou, and even Zhao Ji thought that Chu Yi would kill Zhao Gou, who was in his early days, and chose the weak and controllable prince as the new king.

Obviously, what Chu Yi said made Zhao Ji a little confused. What did Chu Yi think? Could it be that Chu Yi didn't know that Zhao Gou was more difficult to control than the prince?He is not afraid that one day, Zhao Gou will attack him?

Looking at Chu Yi, Zhao Ji just glanced at the imperial decree, didn't know what to think, couldn't help laughing and said to Chu Yi: "I have made an imperial decree, I will abdicate as the Supreme Emperor, and pass it on to the ninth prince Zhao Gou, from now on, Zhao Gou is my new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."

Chu Yi slightly cupped his hands and said to Zhao Ji, "Your Majesty Shengming."

While speaking, Chu Yi turned slightly towards Zhao Gou and said, "My minister Chu Yi, I respectfully invite Your Highness to take the throne."

Zhao Gou took a step forward and supported Chu Yi. With infinite excitement, he said in a trembling voice, "It is absolutely impossible for the governor!"

The rest of the crowd also reacted at this moment, such as Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Fang La and others seeing that Chu Yi made a choice, although they said that they did not like Zhao Gou very much, but they all followed Chu Yi to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Ji watched coldly from the side, watching the crowd pay homage to Zhao Gou and enshrined him as the new monarch, Zhao Ji flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked into the hall.

Zhao Gou helped everyone up one by one, and then bowed to Zhao Ji's back in a big salute, "My son, please send the Emperor Taishang!"

Chapter eight hundred and seventy-third the chief executive and the new king

Watching Zhao Ji leave, Zhao Gou slowly turned around, first glanced at Chu Yi, and then said to Chu Yi: "Please also ask the chief executive to personally arrange the king's enthronement."

Obviously, Zhao Gou knew very well that whether he could secure the throne depended on Chu Yi's attitude, so he wisely handed over his enthronement ceremony to Chu Yi to arrange.

Besides, besides Chu Yi, Zhao Gou can't believe anyone else. After all, since Chu Yi has chosen him, he will definitely not harm him. Otherwise, he can be killed with just one sentence. To push him out as the new king.

When Chu Yi left with a group of people, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yu watched Chu Yi and others leave, looked at each other, their bodies softened, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Gou wiped off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his face filled with excitement and joy, and said to Zhao Yu: "Elder Zong, I succeeded, I really succeeded."

Zhao Yu also had a look of joy on his face. It can be said that Zhao Gou was the one he grew up with. In the ancestral mansion, Zhao Gou was just like his disciple, so Zhao Yu was moved by Zhao Gou.

If this is not the case, how could Zhao Yu accompany Zhao Gou to take such a big risk? You must know that if Chu Yi is a little bit different, then what awaits them is the end of death without a place to be buried. .

With a slight smile, Zhao Yu nodded towards Zhao Gou and said, "Your Majesty has already passed down the imperial edict, and now that you have the support of Chu Yi, His Majesty's ascension to the throne has become a foregone conclusion."

However, while speaking, Zhao Yu had a worried look on her face, she first looked around, and then said to Zhao Gou in a low voice, "It's just that even if His Highness ascends the throne someday, it will only be in the hands of Chu Yi. It's just a puppet emperor, I'm a big Song Jiangshan..."

Zhao Gou shook his head slightly, and said in disapproval, "Old Zong is overthinking it, if this king is not mistaken, Chu Yi is not the kind of person who loves power, if he really is that If he is attached to someone who is powerful, he will definitely not choose me as the new king, and the most suitable person is precisely the weak and controllable brother."

Zhao Yu raised his brows. What Zhao Gou said was actually what he was puzzled by, because he really couldn't understand what kind of person Chu Yi was. To say that Chu Yi was ambitious, but in the face of it, it was easy to get away with it. However, if Chu Yi had no ambitions, he was able to raise troops and fight all the way to the capital.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yu said to Zhao Gou: "Forget it, I can't see through Chu Yi. Your Highness has a good idea."

It was only one night, and the entire capital had changed. Many dignitaries in the capital were naturally aware of the turmoil in the capital last night, but in the face of the rampant soldiers and horses outside the mansion, who would dare to take the lead? I am not afraid of those soldiers breaking into the mansion. Is there a killing in it?

Although these people did not dare to leave the house, it did not mean that they did not pay attention to the changes in the capital. When it was almost dawn, the originally chaotic capital had returned to calm.

Whether it was the chaotic army scattered into the capital, or the local ruffians who ran out to make trouble, all of the elite troops under Chu Yi's leadership became honest.

The first ray of sunlight fell on the ground that day, and one after another silhouette appeared on the long street with a bit of vigilance.

Those rich and powerful families were afraid to open the gates of the mansion, but those ordinary people had only so many concerns, just like many merchants, if they didn't open the door, how would they make a living.

With more and more people on the long street, the already prosperous capital gradually became more popular. At about noon, those powerful families who closed their gates also sent people out to inquire about the situation.

Many people saw the chaos outside through the crack of the door last night. They only knew that someone had entered the capital. However, few people knew which side won and which side lost last night.

At this moment, a group of people appeared on the streets. These people pasted the documents one by one on the wall and some people read the contents of the documents there.

Many people who like to watch the fun gathered there and listened to the contents of the document, and many people showed excitement on their faces. It turned out that it was mentioned in the document that when today Zi Zhao Ji felt his lack of morality and his health, he specially handed the throne to Jiu Jiu. Prince Kang Wang Zhao Gou ascended the throne three days later.

It has always been in everyone's impression that the future emperor is the prince Zhao Huan, but now this sudden change tells them that the ninth prince will be the ninth prince Kang Wang Zhao Gou, and this is not surprising.

However, no one would doubt the authenticity of the notice. After all, no one dared to cheat on this kind of issue. This kind of thing is going to kill the head and kill the family.

Among the crowd, many people were stunned, and some people whispered: "Didn't you say that the prince is the prince, why is King Kang suddenly going to the throne?"

"The notice says that the new emperor's enthronement ceremony will be arranged by Chu Yi, the Great Marshal of the Military and Horses of the World. This Great Marshal of the Military and Horses of the World will not be the owner of the East Factory who led the army to the Qingjun side of Beijing, Chu Yi."

In particular, Chu Yi was involved in the notice, and he also had the identity of the general marshal of the army and horses that day, which surprised many people.

It can be said that Chu Yi's name is known to everyone in the capital these days. Chu Yi's words shocked the world. It can be said that he became famous all over the world. As for Chu Yi's deeds, many of the capital have People can even talk nonstop for a long time.

Now that Chu Yi suddenly has the name of the Great Marshal of the World's Armed Forces, and even personally presided over the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, even a fool realizes something.

"It's no wonder that such a melee broke out in the capital last night. It turned out that Chu Yi led the army into the capital. Now it seems that His Majesty must have failed. That's why the ninth prince Kang Wang Zhao Gou ascended the throne."

Just when the capital was bombed by that announcement, Chu Yi and others gathered in a huge mansion.

Looking at Chu Yi who was sitting there motionless, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong and others who had already received the news also rushed over at this moment.

Before Chu Yi entered the palace, and it was decided that Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, would replace the prince as the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, only a very few people knew about it.

Now Yang Zhizheng looked at Chu Yi with a puzzled expression and said, "Sir, what the hell is going on, then King Kang Zhao Gou is not an ordinary person. Now that the headmaster supports you to ascend to the throne, there is no guarantee that King Kang will not care about you in the future. Murder."

Yang Zhi's meaning is very clear, that is, to remind Zhao Gou that he is not an ordinary person, not as easy to control as Prince Zhao Huan.

Yang Zhi's remarks are also the voice of many people present. They can be said to be tied to a warship with Chu Yi. If something happens to Chu Yi, the fool can think that their end will not be much better. , so they hoped that Chu Yi would live a long life, be safe and protect them more than anyone else.

Everyone looked at Chu Yi in unison, and saw Chu Yi sitting there, tapping lightly on the table with one hand, with a calm expression on his face, looked up at everyone and smiled slightly: "I know what everyone is worried about is One day, Zhao Gou will turn back on the governor, and you don't have to worry about this, since Chu chose Zhao Gou as the new monarch, he must have his own arrangements."

Although Chu Yi did not explain what the arrangements were, people such as Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and others had been by Chu Yi's side for so many years, and they still had a good understanding of Chu Yi's temperament.

Chu Yi's work has always been leak-proof, and he takes three steps one step at a time. To say that Zhao Gou will be able to turn back on Chu Yi's words one day, to be honest, they really don't believe it.

Even Yang Zhi's remarks seemed to be very worried about Zhao Gou's backlash, but more of it was just a reminder to Chu Yi as a subordinate.

As for Zhao Conceived wanting to attack Chu Yi, it's not because they despise Zhao Gou. Even if the Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is resurrected, under the current situation, he is afraid that he can only act in the circle that Chu Yi has drawn.

Fang La glanced at Yang Zhi and the others and said, "The Lord has his own considerations, I just need to obey the Lord's orders. As for the child Zhao Gou, it's fine if he is honest, he really dares to have it. What's the matter, Fang Mou broke his neck with his own hands."

Seeing Fang La's self-proclaimed appearance as the number one loyal servant under Chu Yi, everyone couldn't help but be speechless.

East Palace

The huge palace has been taken over by Chu Yi, and the most strictly guarded are the residences of Zhao Ji and the prince.

But now that the overall situation has been decided, the guard of the East Palace has relaxed a lot, at least it has been allowed to walk in the East Palace.

In a hall, Zhao Huan, the prince, was listening to the news from a confidant, Xiao Huangmen.

Zhao Huan's face was full of astonishment, he never thought that he was just sleeping, how could the world change drastically when he woke up.

To know that Chu Yi used it as a banner before, Zhao Huan was very afraid. He was really afraid that his father and emperor would kill him. After all, there was no father and son before the throne.

Later, when Zhao Huan saw that Chu Yi came all the way to the capital, the road was like a broken bamboo, and no one could resist its offensive. It would be a lie to say that Zhao Huan was not so excited and looking forward to it.

Of course, Zhao Huan also knows that this kind of idea of ​​pinning his hopes on Chu Yi is very shameful. If Chu Yi has ulterior motives and is a person who seeks to usurp the throne, then his prince will end up very badly in the future. miserable.

In this case, Zhao Huan, who was already weak, was caught in a tangle, both looking forward to and fearing Chu Yi's arrival.

As a result, when he got the news that Chu Yi had entered the capital, it was accompanied by the news that he had missed the throne.

Especially when Zhao Huan learned that his ninth brother Zhao Gou was about to become the new king, Zhao Huan's loss could be imagined.

After dismissing the little yellow door, Zhao Huan sat there alone. I don't know when, a figure walked into the East Palace.

"Brother..."

A familiar and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Huan's ear, Zhao Huan was startled, suddenly looked up at the person who came, and at a glance, he almost exclaimed: "Ninth brother... …why you?"

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Zhao Gou, the new emperor who was about to become the emperor.

Because of this, Zhao Huan was very surprised when he saw Zhao Gou.Suddenly, a look of horror appeared on Zhao Huan's face, as if he had thought of something terrible.

Especially Zhao Huan took a few steps back in a conditioned reflex, and stared at Zhao Gou with a wary expression: "You...what do you want to do?"

Zhao Gou saw the reaction of Zhao Huan's expression in his eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhao Huan's reaction clearly thought that he came here to be detrimental to him.

Zhao Huan's reaction was reasonable. He was in the royal family, and he had never heard of or seen any cruel thing. Now that Zhao Gou has Chu Yi's help, and he is about to become emperor, even if there is an edict from Zhao Ji, However, in the eyes of some people, the prince is still there, and there is nothing wrong with morality. As the saying goes, the old and young are orderly, and the prince is still there, so why should Zhao Gou be named emperor.

When Zhao Huan wanted to come, he had become one of the biggest obstacles to Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne. Zhao Gou came here this time, and it seemed that he wanted to get rid of him.

As for brotherhood, to be honest, in this ruthless royal family, any kind of brotherhood is fake, think about the rumors of the folk candlelight and axe shadow.

With a salute, Zhao Gou took the initiative to take a step back and opened the distance between Zhao Huan and Zhao Huan, which obviously relieved Zhao Huan's pressure.

It seems that he felt that his reaction just now was too sensitive. Zhao Huan came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Gou, took a deep breath and said, "The ninth brother doesn't go to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, how can you come to me at leisure?"

Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "The younger brother is here just to visit the emperor, and at the same time to relieve the worries of the emperor."

Saying that, Zhao Gou looked straight at Zhao Huan and said, "Little brother admits that in order to get this throne, little brother did play some tricks, but I dare to say that everything little brother does is for my Song Dynasty, for my Zhao clan's sake. country."

Zhao Huan remained silent, apparently not agreeing with what Zhao Gou said, but now Zhao Gou stared at Zhao Huan and said, "Brother, think about it, if you really ascend to the throne, how will you face Chu Yi? , how can I take back my Song Dynasty's country little by little in the hands of Chu Yi?"

Zhao Gou's remarks made Zhao Huan open his mouth, with a complicated look on his face, asking himself, Zhao Huan knew in his heart that if he was really supported by Chu Yi to become the emperor, then he would only become Chu Yi's downright puppet. .

Of course, although Zhao Huan understood this in his heart, it was a strange thing to be able to let go of the throne after missing out on the throne.I heard Zhao Huan say yin and yang strangely: "So, ninth brother, can you take my Song Jiangshan back from Chu Yi little by little?"

Zhao Gou gritted his teeth and said, "I can!"

This is what he said, but Zhao Gou said silently in his heart: If Chu Yi is really as I guessed, he is willing to delegate power to me.

Looking at Zhao Gou with a determined face, Zhao Huan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Could it be that he scolded Zhao Gou?The big picture has been decided, what's the use of talking about it now.

Breathing out a sigh of turbidity, Zhao Huan, who turned around, said, "I wish you the best of luck for your brother. I hope that my Zhao family will not perish in your hands, otherwise you will be my Zhao family's sinner."

Three days later, the enthronement ceremony was successfully held.

The pilgrimage of hundreds of officials, one by one, one by one, proceeded smoothly in a solemn and solemn manner. When Zhao Gou sat on the majestic dragon chair to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, Zhao Gou officially became the new emperor of the Song Dynasty.

That is, at the moment when Zhao Chenggong became the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, Chu Yi, who was sitting on a chair that was only slightly lower than the dragon chair, only felt that the altar of luck trembled slightly in the sea of ​​​​knowledge.

Needless to say, the first thing Zhao Gou, who became the new king, did was to award and reward officials and generals of Chu Yi's lineage.

For example, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Xu Ning, Wu Song and others became generals in the army one by one, taking charge of a military and horse, and Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, Zhu Wu, Lv Shinang and others jumped into the military. Chief Minister.

It can be said that after Zhao Gou's award, almost all the high-ranking officials in the court and the Chinese military became members of Chu Yi's family. With just one word from Chu Yi, Zhao Gou, who was the new ruler, could easily be overthrown.

However, even in this situation, Zhao Gou rewarded these people with a look of joy and placed them in important positions. Even Zhao Gou took the initiative to reward these people, and Chu Yi did not. any arrangement or suggestion.

The final highlight was the award for Chu Yi. Zhao Gou, as he had promised, appointed Chu Yi as the chief military officer of the world, in charge of the military and horse power, and at the same time, he was crowned as the king of Song, and he enjoyed the lack of trend and praise in the dynasty. Name, sword and the right to go to court.

Eight hundred and seventieth chapters of great power

It can be said that these are almost the standard configuration of powerful ministers, but almost all powerful ministers who are in power for a while will enjoy such privileges.

However, just when Zhao Gou had just sealed Chu Yi and gave Chu Yi a lot of privileges, a figure stood up, but he followed Fang La and returned to Chu Yi's original Manichaeus, Lu Shisang.

Lu Shinang was not an ordinary person. It could be said that he was both civil and military, at least much stronger than the [-]% of the officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

Different from others, Lu Shinang and others were first labeled as rebels, and then after they surrendered to Chu Yi, they were labeled as Chu Yi. It can be said that they are the backbone of Chu Yi's line in the eyes of the world.

Even if some of them want to take refuge in the emperor or other important officials, I am afraid that no one will dare to accept it.

At this moment, Lu Shinang walked out from the ranks of the courtiers. Facing the surprised eyes of many ministers, he stood forward without fear, and then bowed to the emperor Zhao Gou who was sitting there, "Your Majesty, The minister has something to say!"
