The Most Powerful Man in the World

Even Xu Negong and Chen Kai who were standing there were gradually drowning their hearts. After all, they were just going to gamble, and winning or losing only depended on their luck.

Suddenly, a terrifying power suddenly descended, and then the laughter of Zhu Houzhao who was sitting there laughing abruptly stopped, and at this moment Zhu Houzhao's face became extremely cold.

Many officials have been in the court for more than ten years, and they have participated in more than one court meeting. Naturally, they have seen Zhu Houzhao's reaction more than once when he approached the court.

It can be said that no matter how big the matter is, Zhu Houzhao's impression on people is extremely stable. He has always been a mountain collapsed without changing his face. If you want to peep into the emperor's mind from Zhu Houzhao's expression reaction, it is simply inappropriate. possible things.

However, even a fool can see how bad Zhu Houzhao's mood is at the moment, even if it's a fool, Sen Han with Zhu Houzhao's face.

"You bastard, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao smashed the memorial in his hand on Xu Neg and Chen Kai who were standing in front of him.

With a thud, Xu Neu and Chen Kai fell to the ground in unison, and kowtowed to the tunnel with their heads: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the ministers are loyal to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to eradicate the traitors..."

Zhu Houzhao stood there, pressing one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, watching Xu Fu who was still kneeling at Chu Yi, and alienating the relationship between their monarch and minister, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Where are the warriors in front of the hall, drag these two out and beat them to death."

"what!"

Although they said they had expected the worst outcome before they came forward, Zhu Houzhao has always been generous and broad-minded, and seldom killed courtiers. , Over time, many officials had the illusion that Zhu Houzhao was a benevolent prince.

However, the murderous intent in Zhu Houzhao's seemingly peaceful will at this moment is shocking, and many people suddenly look at Zhu Houzhao standing there, showing the imperial majesty, this is their king Ah, control their life and death, not just benevolence.

Several fighters in front of the hall immediately walked into the hall, and easily dragged out the two people who were paralyzed on the ground. At the same time, they were dragged out, and they tried their best to shout out Chu Yi, a traitor. .

Soon, the sound of sticks hitting the human body and the screams that gradually could not bear the blows of the sticks came from outside the hall.

As the sound of the club's beating became more and more rapid, the wailing gradually became lower and weaker. Obviously, under the chaos of the club, even an iron man could smash you, not to mention the mere flesh and blood. .

The screams and wailing from the outside spread into the hall, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could clearly hear the movement one by one.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao's power was fully displayed, and Chu Yi was amazed by that kind of imperial bearing.

Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and couldn't help showing a look of relief in his eyes. It seems that after he left, Zhu Houzhao really grew up.

It seems that he noticed Chu Yi's eyes, but Zhu Houzhao's originally angry mood suddenly improved a lot. When he looked at Chu Yi, there was a faint sense of joy in his eyes.

From Zhu Houzhao's point of view, Chu Yi's gratifying and admiring gaze is the greatest affirmation and recognition of him.

Just when Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, the movement outside stopped abruptly, and most of the civil and military people in Manchao couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Soon a man in front of the hall walked into the hall, respectfully bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Go back to your majesty, Xu Wei and Chen Kai couldn't bear the punishment, they died on the spot!"

Although they already knew that Xu Neg and Chen Kai were dead, but when they heard the news that they were dead, everyone was shocked.

Zhu Houzhao retracted his gaze, glanced at the wise man in front of the hall, and snorted coldly: "Pass my will, order Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to immediately inspect the residences of Xu Neg and Chen Kai, and tell Jinyiwei and Dongchang that I want to They dug three feet into the ground and dug out both of their comrades."

The warriors in front of the hall retreated, and the civil and military officials of the whole court lowered their heads one by one. Many officials with ghosts in their hearts even had their backs soaked.

Standing there, Zhu Houzhao swept over the officials present one by one with infinite majesty eyes, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly, "I will tell you here today, some things can't be said nonsense, some things can't be said. Don't think about it, don't try to provoke our bottom line, otherwise, I will let you know what is called thunder, rain, and dew, both of which are your kindness!"

Among the courtiers, such as Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, and Chen Ding, looking at Zhu Houzhao's angry look, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and then looked at Chu Yi, who was sitting there very calm, as if nothing happened just now, Wang Yangming A few people looked at each other, and compared to the past, His Royal Highness the Martial King was more calm and unfathomable.

The terrifying power enveloped the audience. After many years, Zhu Houzhao went into a rage again, shocking the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

I have to say that Zhu Houzhao's rage on the spot really shocked the hearts of all officials. It is true that over the years, Zhu Houzhao gave the impression of being too benevolent. Even though he had thunderous means, he was also covered up by the cabinet elders. And the impression Zhu Houzhao left on the world has naturally become a rare monarch of the Holy Light.

All the civil and military people who were kneeling on the ground lowered their heads and did not dare to look up to see Zhu Houzhao. Some people were even more trembling, especially officials like Zhao Xiong who had planned to attack Chu Yi. The shock is naturally conceivable.

"This... how is this possible, how can the emperor trust Chu Thief so much!"

"It's fake, it must be fake. It's impossible for the emperor to be on guard against the thief Chu."

Zhao Xiong and others, who were kneeling on the ground, madly denied the scene they saw, and kept encouraging themselves to strengthen their confidence.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Houzhao coldly flicked his sleeves and shouted in a deep voice, "Retreat!"

For some unknown reason, many officials felt a sigh of relief after hearing Zhu Houzhao's will.

A group of civil and military officials dispersed, and it is conceivable that these civil and military people must be very emotional. This scene in the courtroom gave many officials an extremely striking signal, that is, Zhu Houzhao's trust in Chu Yi as always, and the relationship between the two rulers and ministers It seems that it is not as simple as they thought.

As the cabinet elders, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Chen Ding and others finally came out of the hall. At this time, those officials have already left seven or eighty-eight. The last officials who came out can be said to be in high positions. people.

Among these officials, nine out of ten were officials who had experienced the era of Chu Yi, and it was these officials who had experienced the era when Chu Yi covered the sky and dominated the world, so we can understand why Zhu Houzhao reacted like that. He was so fierce that he even decreed that the two officials who dared to stand up to divide his relationship with Chu Yi were beaten to death.

After all, killing officials in court is detrimental to the reputation of any emperor, especially a magnanimous monarch like Zhu Houzhao. After the Ministry of Punishment, the officials were directly executed.

Brushing his beard, Wang Yangming sneered: "It seems that some people are really immortal!"

Yang Yiqing smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Actually, it's not surprising to think that such a thing would happen in the courtroom. Don't forget that our Highness King Wu killed the Quartet. If King Wu is still around these years, then his power can naturally shock people's hearts. But after so many years of King Wu leaving the court, many new officials naturally do not know the power of His Highness. If you are agitated, it is normal for someone to jump out."

Chen Ding sighed slightly: "Your Majesty seems really angry, and I don't know how many people will be implicated this time. I just hope that fewer people will be implicated."

Although Chen Ding is pedantic, he is loyal to the imperial court and to Zhu Houzhao. What he is worried about is that once this incident expands, he does not know how many officials will be implicated, which will eventually affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty. .

Regarding Chen Ding, the elders of the pavilion can't be more clear, it is not unusual for Chen Ding to say such words, Wang Yangming smiled at Chen Ding and said: "Elder Chen, you don't have to worry, whether it is your majesty Still, His Royal Highness King Wu is not the kind of person who kills indiscriminately, but this time His Majesty is furious, and the turmoil in the court is inevitable. I just hope that there are not so many officials involved in this time."

When Zhao Xiong and the others who walked out of the hall were bathed in the sunlight, they all seemed to be walking through the gate of hell.

These officials with ghosts in their hearts only felt that they had turned around before the gate of ghosts, and the wet patch on their backs was really the kind of power that Zhu Houzhao showed was too strong. In addition, they had ghosts in their hearts and did not collapse on the spot. The willpower is amazing.

Zhao Xiong and the others, who were bathed in the sun again, looked at each other and did not dare to leave in a hurry.

The emperor has ordered Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to investigate this matter thoroughly. Zhao Xiong and others are not fools. They are sure that there are people in Jinyiwei and even Dongchang who are secretly watching the actions of any official.

However, if there is such a slight abnormality, it may attract the suspicion of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. They themselves are suspicious. If they are targeted by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, then they will step forward. Is Chen Kai following in their footsteps?

After all the officials left, Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi remained in the hall except for Wang Zheng and several other servants.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "Da Companion, don't worry, this time I will not let me alone, and I will definitely sweep away these thieves who dare to target Da Companion with ulterior motives, sinister intentions, and delusions of alienating the relationship between you and me. And Kong, give your companion an explanation."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance, Chu Yi slowly got up, walked to Zhu Houzhao, looked at Zhu Houzhao up and down, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty is mature, but there is no Chu, Your Majesty is also a saint. Lord..."

When Zhu Houzhao heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, and then inexplicably panicked. He looked at Chu Yi and said, "Big companion, you...you don't want to leave me, right?"

When I thought that Chu Yi took the opportunity to go to the South Seas and left quietly, it took him more than ten years to find Chu Yi again.

Regarding Chu Yi's ability to enter other worlds, although Zhu Houzhao said that he had never asked Chu Yi, he knew it well. Now Chu Yi's words naturally made Zhu Houzhao feel a little flustered. If he said goodbye, he could not guarantee that he still had the ability to lead Daming to find Chu Yi.

Even in excitement, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Yi, his expression gave people the feeling that he was afraid that if he let go, Chu Yi would disappear without a trace in front of him.

Chu Yi, who was slightly taken aback by Zhu Houzhao's reaction, also reacted at this moment. It was obvious that Zhu Houzhao misunderstood his words.

With a light cough, Chu Yi smiled slightly towards Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty wants to be bad. All of Chu's relatives are here. Even if he wants to leave, can he still give up his relatives?"

Hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and thought about it. It seemed as Chu Yi said, after all, with his understanding of Chu Yi, it was obviously impossible for Chu Yi to abandon Chu Ying and Chu Ning's and leave alone.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao felt a little more at ease. He looked at Chu Yi and said, "My companion, I hope that if you leave in the future, you must tell me, otherwise, I will feel uneasy!"

Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao earnestly, and nodded at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and said to Chu Yi: "My partner and accompany me to drink, and I will wait for the news of Dongchang and Jinyiwei with me."

Just when Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi were drinking in the palace, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who received the emperor's will, acted at the fastest speed.

Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, it can be said that it is completely in the hands of Zhu Houzhao. It is with Dongchang and Jinyiwei as eyes and ears that Zhu Houzhao can perfectly control the court.

Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun, who have now become the rulers of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, were all brought out by Chu Yi back then.

The two are absolutely loyal and respectful to Chu Yi, and now there are people who dare to try to attack Chu Yi in the courtroom, not to mention that the emperor does not agree, even they do not agree.

If there is no emperor's will, they would not be able to target these people. But now that the emperor's will is in place, it is conceivable that with the emperor's will in hand, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will explode with astonishing power.

At the moment when the East Factory Yamen was located, Cao Shaoqin was sitting there in a fancy dress, and a figure was also sitting beside him. It was Yang Zhi who flew up with Chu Yi.

Yang Zhi was responsible for the affairs of the East Factory under Chu Yi at the beginning, but now he was naturally assigned to the East Factory, and he was assigned to the East Factory together with him. Lin Chong, Xu Ning and others also enriched the strength of the East Factory.

With several celestial beings entering the East Factory, the power of the top management of the East Factory has skyrocketed a lot. At this moment, Cao Shaoqin is facing Yang Zhi and Lin Chong with a serious expression: "Several, Your Majesty's will, order me to wait. Dig out all the accomplices of Xu Neg, Chen Kai and others, and don't let anyone go."

Maybe Yang Zhi and the others don't recognize Zhu Houzhao too much, but they are loyal to Chu Yi. Now that they know that someone dares to target Chu Yi, Yang Zhi and the others naturally refuse to agree.

He heard Yang Zhi sneer: "This matter is easy, then Xu Wei and Chen Kai cannot dare to stand up against His Highness King Wu alone, there must be someone behind them, and it is not difficult to dig out these people. "

Just as he was talking, he saw a stall head jogging over with a thick stack of files, and said to Cao Shaoqin, "Master Chang, the information about Xu Neg and Chen Kai has been transferred."

Cao Shaoqin stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. On the spot, he saw a thick stack of case files caught in front of him, and opened the case files, which contained detailed intelligence records about Xu Wei and Chen Kai.

The level of detail in this case, I am afraid that Xu Neg, Chen Kai and the others will be shocked when they see it with their own eyes.

With the deliberate support and reinforcement of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei can be said to have tentacles all over the world, and their strength is extremely amazing.

Even if Zhu Houzhao is a benevolent prince, it is the responsibility of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to oversee the world. It's just that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are too scary, and they are involved in many secrets of the world's officials, although they dare not He said it like the back of his hand, but he also found out a lot of hidden things.

Just like Xu Neusu has been in close contact with Zhao Xiong and other officials in the past, it is recorded in this dossier that every official has his own circle of contacts, but this is normal, even if he is in charge of supervising hundreds of officials. Those lurking eyeliners and spies will not suspect anything because of this, and will only record these truthfully.

Naturally, these cases are of no use in the past days, and they are piled up in the secret vault of Dongchang or Jinyiwei to eat ashes. was destroyed centrally.

But once something happens, these inconspicuous information will play a great role after being picked up from the case.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at the people who had close contacts with Chen Kai and Xu Fu recorded in the dossier, and the scarlet brush in his hand kept drawing on the dossier.

Scanning the file, Cao Shaoqin handed the file to Yang Zhidao, who was on the side: "Mr. Yang may wish to take a look."

Yang Zhi took over the dossier, glanced at the names circled by Cao Shaoqin on the dossier, and glanced at them, there were nearly a hundred people.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Yang Zhi sneered: "It's better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to miss one. Let's bring it up for interrogation first."

Everyone knows that this incident has excited the emperor, and they don't know how many people will lose their heads because of this, so Yang Zhi, Cao Shaoqin and the others are very clear that what they have to do is to destroy Xu Wei and Chen Kai as quickly as possible. The accomplices were dug up, even in the process, many people may suffer unwarranted disasters.

Even Lin Chong and Xu Ning didn't open their mouths to persuade them. Maybe if other people were involved, would they arrest suspicious people so aggressively? But who made this incident directly involve Chu Yi?

It can be said that their foundation in Daming is Chu Yi. If someone wants to target Chu Yi, that is, they want to target them. Otherwise, Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, and Xu Ning would not be so angry.

"Arrests!"

With Cao Shaoqin, Yang Zhi and others unifying their opinions, it means that the East Factory has unified their opinions. With an order, a team of Dongchang fans rushed out of the East Factory on horseback, and a team of fans rushed out of the East Factory. With the big and small stalls one by one, they rushed to the mansion everywhere.

At the same time that Dongchang took action, Jinyiwei also began to act, whether it was Yue Buqun or Fang La, Fang Jie and others who went to Jinyiwei to sit in town to increase the strength of Jinyiwei.

It was just over an hour, and those officials who had just returned home from the big court meeting found a group of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi running around on the long street.

The gates of the mansions were smashed open in the panic in the mansion, and the vicious Dongchang Fanzi or Jinyiwei rushed into the mansion like wolves and tigers to take people.

Zhao Xiong hurried back to his mansion all the way, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.

In the study, Zhao Xiong looked a little flustered, but it took a while to calm down. Standing in front of the desk, Zhao Xiong pushed the desk, only to hear a creaking sound, and saw the ground slide away to reveal a At the entrance of the cave, Zhao Xiong walked into the entrance of the cave, and it was a small secret room.

In the secret room is a place that looks like an ancestral hall. In this ancestral hall, a seat of tablets are enshrined on it.

Zhao Xiong knelt down in front of the incense table, looked at the tablet in the center, and said with boundless hatred in his eyes: "Grandfather is on top, grandson is incompetent, and he can't take down Chu Yi, the traitor, may grandfather be in the spirit of heaven. , bless my grandson in this disaster..."

Zhao Xiong’s grandfather was an official who was killed by Chu Yi in the past. To be precise, he was found guilty of corruption and bribery during his tenure in Dongchang, so he was dismissed from office and beheaded.

Born in a family of officials, Zhao Xiong was instilled hatred for Chu Yi by his father, who was demoted to a commoner since he was a child. Later, by chance, Zhao Xiong entered the court with his own efforts, and gradually made friends with a group of people like him. It is generally a person who hates Chu Yi.

I'm afraid it is impossible for Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao to think that there is such a reason for this.
