The Most Powerful Man in the World

Qing He nodded fiercely and said, "Just now someone sent a message to the slaves, saying that the slaves should inform the empress, the uncle Xia Zhu was taken away by the chief supervisor of the li, the chief of the royal horse, and the supervisor of the East Factory, Chu Yi. It's gone!"

Xia Shi took a deep breath, stared at Qing He and said, "You said someone told you to tell this palace?"

Qing He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the servants can't get out of the palace again. How can I know the news from the outside world? This is what a little eunuch told me."

Xia Shi frowned, and said to Qing He, who had a nervous face: "Qing He, you go down first, I want to be quiet!"

Qing He was stunned and said: "Niangniang, Uncle Guo has been arrested, you should go and ask Your Majesty immediately..."

Obviously Qinghe was very puzzled by the reaction of the Xia family. You are the mother of a country, and her own brother was arrested. Shouldn't she go to the emperor to ask for mercy?

However, the Xia Shi shook his head at Qing He and said, "Go down first, this palace has its own considerations!"

In the palace and outside the palace, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching the movement of the palace where the queen lives in the Forbidden City.

After the leopard room was silent and unresponsive, everyone naturally kept their eyes on the direction of the palace. They wanted to see how the queen would react when the uncle was arrested. If the queen found Chu Yi in trouble, how would Chu Yi respond.

Above a restaurant, several officials who had nothing to get together after going down to court were discussing what just happened with great interest.

An official said with a smile: "Everyone, it's going to be a lot of fun now. Our Director Chu really dares to do anything, even Xia Zhu, the uncle of the country, has been arrested!"

Another person sneered and said, "Chu Yi is a lunatic. I don't know how many literati and how many lords and powerful people have been killed in the Jiangnan land. What is there that he dare not do?"

"If you want me to say, now Chu Yi will be in big trouble. As the so-called broken bones are connected to tendons, the empress in the palace will definitely not sit back and watch her brother fall into Chu Yi's hands."

"So, let's watch a good show here!"

Not to mention that these people were staring in the direction of the Forbidden City, Chu Yi was very calm and sent Xia Zhu into the secret prison of the East Factory. As for Xu Yizu and others, they were taken down one by one and brought back to the four guards of Tengxiang.

Except for Xu Yizu, the others on the list were only officials of a thousand households and officials of a hundred households, and they were all taken down in a short time.

At this moment on the huge school grounds, a dense group of soldiers stood crookedly there.

It has been more than half an hour since Chu Yi ordered all the soldiers to gather. These soldiers have been standing for more than half an hour. It is quite good that they have not collapsed or fallen to the ground.

The information that Yidong Factory has, not to mention the already rotten guards, even the so-called elites in the Beijing camp, few troops have such qualities.

Chu Yi slowly stepped onto the high platform, and his eyes swept across the dense black area below, saying that there were more than [-] people, and there were no boundaries.

There were more than [-] people looking around. It was really densely packed with heads. On the huge school grounds, everyone's eyes were directed towards Chu Yi.

Hearing Chu Yi sighed and said: "All officers and men, this governor is Chu Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Horse Supervisor appointed by His Majesty, and I came here today to reward you and others at His Majesty's order."

Hearing that Chu Yi was actually here to reward them, as the emperor's own army, all the soldiers were naturally very pleasantly surprised. They all said that good men should not be soldiers, and other dynasties did not mention it. At least in Daming, this sentence is really not too much.

As long as they have the ability to survive, there are really few people who are willing to join the army. Once they enter the military, it is true that the ancestors will be soldiers for generations. The most important thing is that after passing through layers of cards, it is not too much. It would be good to be able to support themselves after the salaries are in their hands.

Suddenly hearing that the Son of Heaven is going to reward them, these soldiers are naturally shocked, and it can be seen that the effect of silver is stronger than anything else.

[Well, continue to code words, ask for a monthly pass, a monthly pass, a monthly pass. 】

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

It is only natural and righteous to be a soldier to eat food. It is useless to talk to these people. Since ancient times, they have erected a flag to recruit soldiers, and they have their own food-eaters. It can be seen that as long as there is enough money and food, the soldiers can be used for their own use.

As for the righteousness of the country, to be honest, these people really don't understand. What they want in the army is to have a bite to eat. As long as they are fed, no one will quit even if they rebel.

The easiest way for Chu Yi to conquer these soldiers is to smash them with silver, so Zhu Houzhao prepared a hundred thousand taels of silver for Chu Yi from the inner library.

Although it is said that after [-] taels of silver are divided into the hands of these tens of thousands of soldiers, each person may only get a few taels, but for these soldiers, this is already a considerable amount of silver.

Feeling those scorching gazes, Chu Yi knew in his heart that what these people were looking forward to was the reward from the Son of Heaven, so Chu Yi didn't say much nonsense, and shouted directly: "Come here, bring up the reward that His Majesty has given to the soldiers! "

I saw a group of Dongchang Fanzi come up carrying boxes one by one, and with a bang, several boxes full of gold and silver were placed on the high platform.

Chu Yi stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one. Suddenly, boxes and boxes of silver appeared in everyone's sight.

Even the soldiers who were closer to the high platform stared at the boxes of gold and silver and couldn't help but grunt, their eyes showing longing.

If it weren't for the dozens of Dongchang Fanzi with long knives standing on the high platform, maybe some people would dare to rush to the high platform.

These silver coins were scattered silver taels specially exchanged by Chu Yi, so the pieces of white flowers in the box were dazzling to see.

Grabbing a handful of scattered silver, with a slam, the silver rolled on the high platform, only to hear Chu Yi say: "Pour out all the silver for me!"

In the blink of an eye, [-] taels of silver were piled up on the high platform, which was quite eye-catching under the sunlight.

I don't know who shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, Master Chief Chitose..."

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the whole school ground: "Long live your majesty, sir Chitose!"

This shout resounded through the sky, shaking almost half of the capital, and those outside the barracks were stunned.

What means did Chu Yi use to conquer the tens of thousands of soldiers from the four guards of Tengxiang so quickly, and for a while, many people showed gloomy expressions on their faces.

Standing on the high platform, Chu Yi stretched out his hand and flicked his hand, and the soldiers below gradually stopped, and Chu Yi said solemnly: "Everyone, Your Majesty has not forgotten everyone, and specially asked the Governor to bring one hundred thousand taels of silver. Reward everyone, but some people don't think about His Majesty's kindness and leave their posts without permission, everyone said how to deal with these people!"

On the high flagpole, Huang Zhan's head hangs on it. Everyone has heard about Chu Yi's anger and beheading Huang Zhan. Now, after hearing what Chu Yi said, they naturally shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!"

Chu Yi nodded slightly and waved his hand: "Bring the criminals Xu Yizu, Wei Ming, Lu Qi and others here!"

Soon Xu Yizu, Wei Ming, Lu Qi and other generals were brought up, all of whom were not present when Chu Yi beat drums and gathered the generals.

Xu Yizu was very embarrassed. He was pushed and shoved on the high platform and still yelled at Chu Yi: "Geld dog, you have to die!"

As for Wei Ming, Lu Qi and the others, they were all begging for Chu Yi.

When Xu Yizu and others were escorted to the high platform one by one, the soldiers below looked at the miserable appearance of the commander of the guards, the officials of the thousand households, and the officials of the hundred households, and they subconsciously looked at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi, dressed in a big cloak, stood upright on the high platform, and said coldly: "Xu Yizu, Wei Ming, and Lu Qi are generals but have no military skills. They leave the camp without permission and should be executed according to the law!"

"cut!"

As the words fell, they saw the heads of more than a dozen good people rolled to the ground. Such a cruel and bloody scene suddenly blew on them like the biting cold wind of the cold winter and twelfth lunar month. I don't know how many soldiers looked at Chu Yi with awe and fear in their eyes. color.

But the next moment, Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Next, according to the roster, everyone will come forward to receive their own reward silver, and the Governor will personally sit here, and no one should be greedy for the reward money that the generals and soldiers deserve."

A big stick, a carrot, Chu Yi's operation, not to mention the military heart, at least imprinted his figure into the hearts of most soldiers.

As long as they are wooed in the future, the four guards of Tengxiang can definitely become a loyal supporter of Chu Yi.

Teams of soldiers walked past Chu Yi in a neat line, and then took the silver tattoo from the hand of a famous fan.

These rewards are not in the hands of the generals in the army, and Chu Yi is not interested in greed for these rewards. Naturally, [-]% of the rewards are distributed to these soldiers.

Many soldiers even turned red with excitement when they got a few taels of silver.

If they were not poor, how could they choose to join the military, but even if they became a member of the Tengxiang Siwei Battalion, they were barely able to eat and clothe themselves. As for the salary, one third of them could get it every month. Just fine.

Now these few taels of silver are really the most they can get in their entire lives, so it's no wonder they're not excited.

"We swear our allegiance to Your Majesty to the death, and our allegiance to the Master Chief!"

It was not until night fell that Chu Yi left the barracks and went straight to the direction of Baofang.

However, it was said that Xia Zhu was taken away by Chu Yi, and not long after, the father of the state, Xia Ru, personally entered the palace to ask to see the Empress Xia. This scene fell in the eyes of many people.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Xia Ru asked to see the queen at the palace gate, but was not summoned by the queen, but instead was reprimanded by someone sent by the queen, making him go back to the palace and think about it behind closed doors.

In the palace, in Queen Xia's bedroom, Queen Xia, with a sad face, threw away the written letters in a ball several times, and then couldn't help writing another one.

After a long time, Queen Xia wrapped a letter in the envelope, summoned a little eunuch, ordered him to send the letter to the leopard room, and sent someone to admonish Xia Ru and ordered him to go back to the house to think about it.

Where the leopard's house is, the emperor Zhu Houzhao looked at the graceful writing on the letter paper, his expression softened a lot, read the letters of the Queen Xia one by one, nodded slightly and said: "The Queen is very righteous, I am very relieved! "

Gu Dayong, who was standing on the side, naturally saw the content of the Queen's letter. In the letter, the Queen Xia pleaded guilty to Zhu Houzhao, bluntly saying that she had not been able to restrain her family, which caused Xia Zhu to make a big mistake, and begged the emperor to deal with it according to law. Thinking of it, there is no pleading meaning in the words, and it is full of profound justice. It is no wonder that Zhu Houzhao praised him so much.

Gu Dayong couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, the empress is virtuous and virtuous, and she is so knowledgeable, and your Majesty is a match made in heaven!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, looked up, and saw a figure striding forward from a distance, not Chu Yi or who it was.

Chu Yi stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Chen Chu Yi convicts His Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi with a smile at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward to help Chu Yi up and said, "What's wrong with the great companion of Chu? How come I don't know!"

Chu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The slave and maid have not asked your majesty to arrest the country's uncle Xia Zhu, this is a crime!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and handed the Queen's letter to Chu Yi and said, "This is the Queen's letter, Chu Da companion may wish to take a look!"

Raising his brows, Chu Yi took it. After reading the letter, he couldn't help sighing in his heart that Empress Xia was not an unreasonable person, but it could be seen from the words that Empress Xia was not without a bit of scheming.

As the saying goes, fight without fight. In this case, it is not a wise choice to make trouble unreasonably, or even to plead with the emperor, and the best choice is to admit all faults like Queen Xia, and not to mention everything else.

The effect can be seen just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's mood at the moment and Chu Yi. Obviously Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied with the Queen's attitude.

Zhu Houzhao could naturally see the intention of Empress Xia's letter, but it was also a plea for mercy.

Although it is said that in the Ming Dynasty, there were very few intrigues among concubines and concubines in the harem, and very few powerful relatives appeared, but the palace itself was full of all kinds of darkness. Queen's seat.

"The Empress has a deep understanding of righteousness, this is the blessing of Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I still have to give the queen's face. I don't even know that Xia Zhu's bastard was used. I shouldn't have left them in the capital, or there would be no such farce!"

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao was like watching the fire. Zhu Houzhao knew who Xia Zhu was. He knew at a glance that Xia Zhu was being used. Otherwise, if Xia Zhu really colluded with the forbidden army, it would not be Chu Yi's turn to arrest him. he is.

Chu Yi cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Your Majesty sees thousands of miles, how can some people's calculations be concealed from Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, but it was quite useful: "But Xia Zhu, this bastard, I can't spare him lightly, and I will pass on my will to remove the position of Jin Yiwei's commander and fellow Xia Zhu, and he will be demoted to a commoner, and he will be sent back to his country of origin on the same day. , the father of the state, Xia Confucianism, was not strict in teaching his son, and he was punished for three years and returned to his hometown together..."

Gu Da used to write and write quickly, and soon an imperial decree was drawn up, stamped with a seal, and there was a result about the arrest of the uncle Xia Zhu.

After punishing Xia Zhu, Zhu Houzhao said apologetically to Chu Yi: "My companion won't blame me!"

Chu Yi heard the words and said quickly: "Why did your Majesty make such a statement!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed lightly: "If I were strong enough, then the pressure on the big companion would not be so great, and it would even be fine to kill Xia Zhu!"

Chu Yi said: "Your Majesty is for Chu Yi's consideration. The slaves have already offended the nobles, nobles, and civil servants. If they offend the royal family and relatives again, they will only make more enemies. Your Majesty has done a lot of hard work..."

[Continue to code and ask for a monthly pass. 】

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

Zhu Houzhao patted Chu Yi's shoulder and said, "It's good that my partner can understand my intentions. I'm really afraid that you will set up a strong enemy for yourself on impulse."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said, "Remember, my partner, don't be too hasty!"

Chu Yi said solemnly, "Thank you Your Majesty for your teaching, Chu Yi will keep it in my heart!"

Although Chu Yi is not worried about the so-called enemy at all, even if he offends everyone, as long as he can get enough luck, Jieshi will be an enemy in the world, and at most he will be forced to leave this world.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao treats him well. Everyone has feelings. Chu Yi also wants to help Zhu Houzhao get rid of his fate while gaining luck. If possible, the monarch and minister will join hands to bring the eastern empire of Daming, which is gradually slipping into the abyss, to put things right. The brilliance of Daming spreads all over the world.

Signaling Chu Yi to sit down, Zhu Houzhao took the tea from Gu Da and asked, "How's the Tengxiang Siwei Camp?"

Although it is said that there has been news from Dongchang Fanzi, but after all, it is not what I saw with my own eyes. Now that Chu Yi is here, no one knows better than Chu Yi what is going on with the four guards of Tengxiang.

Zhu Houzhao put a lot of effort into the four guards of Tengxiang. He started a little bit of layout a few years ago. With the help of Liu Jin, he finally expanded the four guards of Tengxiang to more than [-] people and put them in the capital. It's a force to be reckoned with.
