The Most Powerful Man in the World

It is impossible for the key minister of punishment to be guarding in the Heavenly Prison, right? As for the other people in the Heavenly Prison, who would dare to stop Chu Yi? It can even be said that Chu Yi and Cao Shaoqin did not alert others when they entered and exited the Heavenly Prison.

The night was hazy, Jiao Fang and Bi Heng followed Chu Yi out of the prison smoothly, breathing the fresh air outside, and looking back at the prison that was like a devil's cave that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, the two of them made up their minds that they would never do anything in the future. Will come back here again.

Eyes fell on Chu Yi, Chu Yi's tall and straight figure was like a mountain, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smiled.

The two carriages stopped not far away, and Chu Yi said to Jiao Fang and Bi Heng, "The two of you should go to wash up first, rest for a few days, and wait for your Majesty's order when Chu reports to tomorrow!"

Now that the two have identified Chu Yi, they naturally leave everything to Chu Yi to arrange. After listening to Chu Yi's words, the two of them bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Everything is subject to the master's arrangement!"

Chu Yi waved his hand, and saw a man from Dongchang come quickly, Chu Yi instructed: "Send the two adults to go to the other courtyard to rest, don't wait for the two adults, otherwise, the governor will never forgive you. Not you!"

Watching Jiao Fang and Bi Heng leave, Chu Yi said to Cao Shaoqin beside him, "Let's go back to the East Factory!"

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he went to Baofang to meet Zhu Houzhao, so Chu Yi has not returned to the East Factory. Now that Jiao Fang and Bi Heng have been released from the prison, he can breathe a sigh of relief. .

East Factory is located.

Although Chu Yi was ordered to inspect the place, the East Factory was still running smoothly. With Du Qian and Wang Zheng's two confidants staying at the East Factory, Chu Yi naturally didn't have to worry about what would happen to the East Factory.

In the study, Wang Zheng, Du Qian, and the few stall owners who stayed behind were now respectfully saluting Chu Yi.

Chu Yi glanced at these people lightly, and said slowly: "I have received the news, and some people have eaten inside and out, and leaked the news of the East Factory to others. Now, should you stand up for yourself, or do you want me to tell the story in person? What's your name?"

Although Chu Yi's tone was calm and calm and seemed to be very casual, a terrifying power was pressing on several people in the room.

Chu Yi sipped the tea, very leisurely, but several people did not dare to let out the air. One of them couldn't help oozing cold sweat on his forehead, his legs trembled slightly, and at first glance, he was frightened.

"Ma Yiming, don't you have anything to say?"

Chu Yi's voice sounded like thunder in Ma Yiming's ears, and with a thud, Ma Yiming's body fell to the ground with a look of despair on his face, and he kept kowtowing to Chu Yi: "Governor spare your life, govern your life, the slaves are also being punished. It was they who persecuted me..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was stunned at the same time. Obviously, they didn't expect that the man who cheated on the outsider would be this old man from Dongchang, Ma Yiming.

Ma Yiming is an old man of the East Factory. After Chu Yi took charge of the East Factory, he also valued him very much. He ordered him to be in charge of information sorting and signing. It can be said that this position is very important. It is absolutely impossible for someone who is not a trusted person to sit in this seat. .

However, Ma Yiming committed one of the most unforgivable sins, that is, eating inside and outside, colluding with outsiders, which is definitely a taboo in Dongchang.

Chu Yi slowly got up, walked to Ma Yiming, looked at Ma Yiming and sighed lightly: "It's persecution once or twice, could it not be persecuted every time, you still remember what the Governor said, anyone bribing you, You can accept the gold and silver, but you must declare it as soon as possible. It seems that you didn't take the Lord's words to heart!"

Seeing that Chu Yi stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ma Yiming's head, the next moment Ma Yiming's begging for mercy stopped abruptly. Everyone only saw that Ma Yiming was bleeding from his seven orifices.

Chu Yi turned around and sat down, glanced at everyone and waved his hands: "Du Qian and Wang Zheng stay, everyone else can go down."

Ma Yiming's body was taken away, and only Du Qian and Wang Zheng were left in the room.

These two have been with Chu Yi for almost ten years and belong to Chu Yi's absolute cronies. At this moment, Chu Yi dissipated his aura and said, "Tell me about the two of you, how is the situation in Beijing?"

Although it was said that there was an intelligence channel from Dongchang, he never thought that such a traitor as Ma Yiming would appear, so Chu Yi couldn't believe which of the news he had received from Dongchang was true. Which are doped with other things.

Du Qian and Wang Zheng described the current forms in the capital one by one, which can be said to be extremely detailed. Just listening to the two of them, Chu Yi already had a general understanding of the forms in the capital.

In the end, Du Qian looked at Chu Yi and said, "Master, our people have received news. In the past two days, Mao Ji, Hu Ming and other ministers have been in close contact with the chief assistant Yang Tinghe. I don't know what they are planning!"

Chu Yi raised his brows and said, "Oh, won't you send someone to investigate? Don't tell me, the people from Dongchang can't even do this well."

However, Du Qian shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not that we don't send people there. To this day, there are already five good players who have never returned, so the Yang residence is like a fierce beast. Once the big living people go in, there is no news at all."

Chu Yi lightly tapped the table case and chuckled, "Oh, it's interesting, it's interesting!"

When Yang Tinghe, the head of the court, was also a member of the cabinet before, this person is not an ordinary person. After several generations of emperors, even the emperor after Zhu Houzhao was established by Yang Tinghe.

In later generations, some people even said that the death of Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao was inseparable from Yang Tinghe. After Zhu Houzhao's death, the elite soldiers of the Beijing battalion formed by Zhu Houzhao were dismissed by him, and the tax supervisors who were stationed to collect mining tax, salt tax and commercial tax were recalled one by one. It can be said that Zhu Houzhao's efforts during his reign were also abolished by Yang Tinghe with his collapse.

When Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, the civil and military officials headed by Yang Tinghe set off a great etiquette battle. Yang Tinghe and other cabinet ministers who represented Cheng Zhu Daoxue, who had been absolutely philosophical since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, collided with the emerging Wang Yangming's xinxue forces.

Yang Tinghe stated at the beginning of the "Controversy of the Great Rites": "Only the Song Dynasty Confucian Cheng Yi's "Pu Yi" has the most righteousness and justice, and it can be the law of all ages."

As a representative figure of Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, the dignified and dignified Shoufu, although his mansion dare not say that it is a Longtan Tiger's Den, but it is not anyone who wants to rush into it.

Since Confucianism can have such a strong man as Wang Yangming, then if there are no strong men in Cheng Zhu Li’s lineage, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, it cannot be said that Cheng Zhu Li’s theory has long been cut off by the removal of one representative great Confucian. inherited.

Having seen Wang Yangming and seeing such powerful men as Shao Yuanjie at the Duke Wei's mansion, Chu Yi was actually not surprised that he would meet a Confucian powerhouse someday, but rather had some expectations.

[Nothing to say, ask for a monthly pass and give it a reward! 】

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

Du Qian looked at Chu Yi and said, "The Governor, Yang Tinghe and others have secretly discussed in private, most likely to deal with the Governor, should we send someone to sneak into the Yang residence!"

Although it is said that sending someone to sneak into Yang's mansion is likely to cause Dongchang to continue to suffer losses, but if you can find out what Yang Tinghe and others are secretly discussing, then it is worth paying a high price.

Chu Yi waved his hand slightly and said: "If the Governor is not mistaken, there must be experts in Yang's house. Except for a few people in the East Factory, sending others to it will only kill you in vain. You don't need to arrange for someone to sneak in. Yang's house."

Du Qian nodded slightly.

After looking at the two of them, Chu Yi said, "Is there anything else?"

Du Qian and Wang Zheng looked at each other, and they both shook their heads.

Chu Yi said to Wang Zheng, "Wang Zheng, have you handed over the information about shipbuilding sent by someone not long ago to those craftsmen for research?"

Wang Zhengdao: "Don't worry, the lord, the slaves and servants have been handed over to those people, these are the top craftsmen in Beijing, and even the ancestors of many people have participated in the manufacture and design of Zheng He's treasure ships. In other words, even if there is no information, as long as they are given time, they can roughly copy the treasure ship."

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are passed down from generation to generation. In addition, it is not too far away from Zheng He's era. At most, there is a gap of two generations. These master craftsmen have more or less family inheritance, as Wang Zheng said. As long as there is time, it is not much difficult to copy Zheng He's treasure ship.

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "That's good, you can keep an eye on this matter for the governor, and it is best to make it for the governor within a few days."

Accompanied by a ray of rising sun, the capital of Daming was bathed in bright sunshine, a vibrant scene.

However, on this day, dozens of Chinese and military officials gathered together. They received news not long ago that Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had something to discuss with them.

Even though there are only a few dozen civil and military officials, these people almost represent [-] to [-]% of the power of the Ming Dynasty. Behind these people are many officials of the Ming Dynasty from the court to the local area.

If this force can really be condensed together, even the bright future cannot fight against it. Fortunately, this force is not unified within itself, and is divided into several branches by region or school.

When Yang Tinghe and several cabinet elders came out, the eyes of the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a while fell on Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe bowed his hands to everyone and said: "Today, I invite you adults to come, but there is one thing to discuss with you."

One of the servants smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Shoufu-sama, just speak bluntly."

Many people explained that they nodded slightly and looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile on their faces, only to hear Yang Tinghe's expression solemnly say: "Everyone, it is really inappropriate for Your Majesty to live outside the palace all year round. Ministers, you should dare to speak directly and supervise your Majesty's words and deeds, so that your Majesty will become a generation of wise rulers."

As an old censor, although Hu Ming is not a member of the patriarch, he has a very high reputation among civil and military officials.

At this moment, he took a step forward and said with a sullen expression: "Everyone, Yang Ge's old words are reasonable, we should follow the example of the sage Wei Zheng, and be the mirror of Your Majesty. Without due diligence, as the emperor, it is absurd to live in the middle palace, so as to secure the world, and live outside the palace all the time."

Many people know that this old imperial censor never forgave people in his words, but he never thought that even the emperor would let him go, and those who dared to say that the emperor was absurd.

Everyone is an old fox in the ups and downs of the Huanhai Sea, not those stunned young people who will rush forward with a few words of flickering.

Advice that if the emperor succeeds, then these people will definitely leave a glorious mark on the history, but if they fail, they will surely make the emperor unhappy.

Many people were silent, but there were very few responders. Obviously, everyone was weighing the pros and cons.

With a light cough, Mao Ji glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, Your Majesty is out of temper, and you must be confused by others when you live outside the palace. Let's just talk about Liu Jin, I don't think everyone wants to have another Liu Jin. Well, so even for our own consideration, it's better to invite Your Majesty back to the palace."

Many people heard the deep meaning implied in Mao Ji's words and couldn't help but look up, and suddenly looked up at Mao Ji, but Mao Ji had a calm expression on his face.

Fei Hong said solemnly, "Everyone, this time we are all thinking for His Majesty. What else do you have to hesitate?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then said to Yang Tinghe and other patriarchs: "I also ask you pavilions to lead us to participate in the grand event, and please return to the middle palace!"

Obviously, the elders of the pavilion have already unified their opinions, and many of them agree with this, so others hesitated a little and followed the trend. Anyway, even if the emperor is not happy, they will There are so many people and so many people, is it possible that the emperor can target them one by one?

Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I'll go with all the lords and persuade the emperor to return to the middle palace, and he will leave a strong mark on the history books in the future!"

Dozens of civil and military officials went straight to the leopard's house. On the way, dozens of civil and military officials traveled together. This scene is really quite rare.

It didn't take long for it to attract the attention of many people. Many people were very curious when they got the news. The news spread immediately.

The spies from the East Factory, West Factory, and Jin Yiwei all took the news as soon as they got the news.

In the leopard room, Zhu Houzhao was still in a good mood.

When Chu Yi returned, Liu Jin was killed. The feeling of a sudden broken arm was filled with Chu Yi's return. Zhu Houzhao got up early in the morning and even ate an extra bowl of rice.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was teasing a beautiful thrush. After being gloomy for a long time, he finally got a smile on his face, which made the eunuchs and eunuchs serving by Zhu Houzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhu Houzhao has a generous temperament, he rarely loses his temper and affects the eunuchs and eunuchs around him, but the emperor is the emperor.

Suddenly, a little eunuch came in a hurry with a few seals in his hand.

Gu Dayong noticed the little eunuch's actions, glanced at Zhu Houzhao who was in a cheerful mood not far away with a smile on his face, and quickly stopped the little eunuch.

I could only hear Gu Dayong whispering to the little eunuch: "Is there anything urgent?"

It's rare that Zhu Houzhao's mood is much better, Gu Dayong can't help but feel nervous when he sees the flustered appearance of the little eunuch.

Gu Dayong couldn't help complaining in his heart, why can't the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty be able to do things honestly, share the worries for the emperor, and always block the emperor. If there is something else, Zhu Houzhao's good mood will disappear again. .

The little eunuch handed the secret music in his hand to Gu Dayong and said, "Director Gu, this is the secret music sent by Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei, I'm afraid there is something urgent, the slave does not dare to neglect for a moment. It was delivered in no time!"

Gu Dayong's expression changed when he heard the words, and he could not help but understand no matter how slow his reaction was. I was afraid that something really happened, otherwise it would be impossible for the East Factory and the West Factory. , Jinyiwei, these major institutions, all presented secret performances.

Taking over the secret letter, if it was just a small problem, he would be able to stop it for a while and then reconcile with the future child, but this is obviously the rhythm of something big to happen, even if it is to give Gu Da another courage, he Don't dare to delay.

Quickly walk a few steps to Zhu Houzhao's side, in fact, when the little eunuch walked quickly, Zhu Houzhao had already noticed the little eunuch, but Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood and didn't take it to heart. will handle.

Seeing Gu Dayong approaching quickly, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help frowning, and handed the bird cage to the little eunuch beside him, his eyes fell on Gu Dayong and said, "My partner, is there anything urgent?"

Gu Dayong handed over several sealed copies to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei have all submitted the secret performances. I'm afraid there is something urgent!"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but change his expression. He is not a fool, and it is no small matter to be able to make Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei rush to submit secret performances.

Taking a deep breath, while taking the secret music, he said to the little eunuch beside him: "I will quickly pass on Chu Da Companion to me!"

Turning on the secret, Zhu Houzhao swept across ten lines at a time, his face could not help becoming gloomy, and there was a faint anger on his face.

"Damn, it's really terrifying, what are they trying to do?"

I have read several secret memorials one by one, and all of them are the same thing, that is, the top officials of the Chinese military, headed by Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, are all rushing to the leopard room.

What really made Zhu Houzhao angry was the purpose of these people's coming here. If it was for a national event, it would be fine, but these people actually came to remonstrate and invite him back to the palace.

"...Directly admonishing the emperor, still in the palace..."

On top of the ensemble, these large characters are so dazzling to Zhu Houzhao. He lives outside the palace, which is indeed incompatible with etiquette, but he lives in the leopard room and has never delayed any major national affairs. If there is any urgent matter, No matter which minister asked to see, he never waited.

ps: Recommend a book, "Rebirth of the Business Sea", reborn in 92 years, just in time for the first take-off of Huaxia business, as a trend-setter of the times, not only should I rewrite my own destiny, but also let the people around me change the fate, Create a generation of legends!

Well, finally ask for a monthly pass.

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

However, these people insisted on staring at this point, and especially raised it to the level of direct remonstrance by a hundred officials. You must know that such a commotion has forced him, the dignified emperor, to the corner.

If he does not return to the palace, the ruler and the ministers will be at odds with each other, and there is even a possibility that he will lose the name of a faint-hearted monarch who does not listen to good words. If he returns to the palace, he can guarantee that as long as he returns to the palace, these people will not let him do that Going out of the palace easily will further fuel the arrogance of these civil and military ministers.
