The Most Powerful Man in the World

Looking back from the direction of Huang Mansion, Zhang Mao looked towards the direction of Leopard House and sighed softly, "Your Majesty's place, Grandpa has to go for a walk."

Zhang Lun knew in his heart that this incident was so turbulent that Zhang Maogui was the Grand Master and was in charge of the Beijing camp.

Zhang Lun helped Zhang Mao down the stairs: "Your Majesty has always trusted Grandpa. Besides, Grandpa has taken precautions this time. In His Majesty's place, Grandpa only needs to explain, and His Majesty will not blame him if he wants to come here."

Chu Yi was afraid that he could not have imagined that the inside story was so complicated, and even Zhang Mao, the British public servant, was paying attention to the development of the matter.

But even if Chu Yi knew about it, he wouldn't care too much. Although Zhang Mao had a great prestige, it was far worse than Zhang Fu in the past. If Zhang Mao had the same military exploits and prestige as Zhang Fu. , I am afraid that after the battle of Tumubao, the generals and nobles group will not be in a state of collapse.

But there is one thing that cannot be denied. Although most of these honors and honors have been abandoned, they are also a force that cannot be ignored. It can even be said that they are the Austrian aid that Chu Yi can win. Among the descendants, there are still some talents.

Huang Huai's mansion is obviously not comparable to Huang Kui. After all, Huang Kui is a noble family that has inherited, while Huang Huai does not have such a profound background, so the difference between the two is revealed in this mansion alone.

Looking at Huang Huai who was paralyzed there, Chu Yi didn't expect Huang Huai to open the door like Huang Kui. He waved his hand directly, and immediately saw Dongchang Fanzi rush forward like a wolf and a tiger. The door of Huang Huai's mansion slammed open.

Just when Chu Yi was about to walk into Huang Huai's mansion, a fast horse rushed forward, and when they came close, the eunuch jumped down immediately, showing a strong cultivation base.

Chu Yi raised his brows, looked at the person who came, and saw the eunuch stepped forward and bowed in front of Chu Yi and said, "The slave servant Wu Tong has seen the chief executive!"

[Continue to code, and there is a fourth update, ask for a monthly pass and give a reward. 】

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

Chu Yi stretched out his hand and said: "Superintendent Wu does not need to obey the ceremony, and the superintendent does not follow Director Gu to serve His Majesty. At this point in the middle of the night, could it be that His Majesty has some decree?"

Wu Tong got up and glanced at Huang Huai and the others. As Zhu Houzhao's valet, Wu Tong was naturally no stranger to Huang Huai, several important officials in the court, and said to Chu Yi: "General Manager, Your Majesty has heard that Huang Huai, Minister of War, Huang Huai, Huang Kui, the right governor of the five army governor's mansion, and others were furious that they arbitrarily mobilized troops and horses, and personally ordered the governor to search Huang Huai and several others' homes, and all the nine clans were like prisons waiting to be released!"

Chu Yi raised his brows. It is said that Zhu Houzhao should have fallen asleep at this time. Even if the news of Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xichang entered the palace, it should not be known until dawn.

Nodding slightly, Chu Yi smiled at Wu Tong and said, "Mr. Wu, has your Majesty not fallen asleep yet?"

Wu Tong said with a smile: "Your Majesty was already asleep, but not long ago, the First Assistant, Lord Yang, had an urgent request to see His Majesty, so His Majesty was awakened."

Chu Yi said in surprise: "First assistant Yang Ting and adults? Why did he ask to see His Majesty?"

Speaking of which, Chu Yi couldn't help but look at Huang Huai, Ma Yunzhang, Feng An, and Bai Bing. Sure enough, Huang Huai and the others were all refreshed.

Although Huang Huai and the others didn't speak, Chu Yi could roughly guess that several people must think that Yang Tinghe went to see the emperor to beg for their favor.

There was a sneer at the corner of Chu Yi's mouth. Yang Tinghe was definitely an old fox. If Yang Tinghe went to get in trouble, Chu Yi would believe it, but if it was said that Yang Tinghe would intercede for Huang Huai and the others, it would be strange for Chu Yi to believe it.

Sure enough, I heard Wu Tunnel: "Yang Ge asked to see His Majesty, but he told His Majesty that Huang Huai, Huang Kui and others had privately transferred troops to besiege the Chief Executive, and His Majesty was furious when he listened to it. Originally, Yang Ge always persuaded His Majesty to kill Huang. Huai and the others, but His Majesty was furious and personally ordered Huang Huai and the others to be executed!"

"Ah, Yang Tinghe, you old thief..."

Huang Huai's face showed despair, and he couldn't help but curse.

As for Feng An, his face was pale, and the last ray of hope was shattered. Feng An laughed like a madman.

Bai Bing and Ma Yunzhang simply fainted, and their ugly expressions were revealed.

Watching Wu Tong leave, Chu Yi couldn't help but said to Huang Huai: "Master Huang, it seems that you have disappointed Mrs. Yang Ge!"

Huang Huai couldn't help but stare at Chu Yi and said, "You...what do you mean!"

Chu Yi smiled and said, "What do you mean by Ben Du?"

Huang Huai gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Yi and said, "Director Chu, the subordinate is willing to testify against Yang Tinghe, it's him, everything is him, he is the real messenger behind the scenes..."

I thought that Chu Yi would be very excited and let him go, but what disappointed Huang Huai was that Chu Yi looked at him calmly, without the slightest hint of joy, but looked at him with a look of idiots. he.

Chu Yi sighed lightly: "I don't even have this big picture, no wonder they are regarded as abandoned sons, Yang Ting and he can choose to betray your whereabouts to the emperor, that's because he has seen through that you can't do anything at all, and you think he just expected it. Didn't expect you to testify against him?"

Huang Huai's face was stunned, only to hear Chu Yi continue: "Do you have human and physical evidence? Don't you think Your Majesty doesn't know that there is a shadow of Yang Tinghe in all this? Liu Jin died, and Li Dongyang went to office. , the court is turbulent. Among the hundreds of officials, only Yang Tinghe is the most suitable and able to stabilize the situation of the court. Even if His Majesty is dissatisfied with him in his heart, he is still selected as the first assistant of the cabinet, because there is no one who can replace him at the moment. role in the DPRK."

Huang Huai was stunned, showing a look of surprise: "So it is, so it is, I am just an abandoned child, abandoned child!"

Glancing at Huang Huai with pity, Chu Yi walked into Huang Huai's mansion.

Huang Huai, Ma Yunzhang, Feng An, Bai Bing, plus Huang Kui, the big case that the emperor determined to be a crime of treason finally came to an end with the arrest of five people and nine clans and the seizure of their family property.

Many people in the capital did not sleep that night. Huang Huai and others were raided, especially Chu Yi who was ordered to arrest five people and nine clansmen. The whole capital could hear people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei taking people everywhere. movement.

It continued until the sky was bright. Even so, we could still see Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi appearing on the long street, and the relatives of the prisoners who were crying and wailing were arrested from various places.

And the emperor was furious. After Jin Yiwei directly verified the identities of Huang Huai and several people, he began to take people everywhere according to their family tree of the nine clans.

Even if there are many relatives within the nine clans who are not in the capital, but with Jinyiwei's eyes and strongholds all over the world, as long as there is a roster, it is really not a problem to get people.

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved in a short time. I am afraid that it will take at least ten days and a half months to arrest all the people within the nine clans.

The sky was bright, Chu Yi washed his face and went to the leopard room.

If nothing else, Chu Yi believes that Zhu Houzhao must have not rested for a long time.

Sure enough, when Chu Yi arrived at the leopard room, Gu Dayong, who was guarding outside, could not help but his eyes lit up when he saw Chu Yi coming, he hurried forward and said to Chu Yi: "Brother Chu Yi, you are finally here, Your Majesty. We have been waiting for your safe return, our family has persuaded several times, but Your Majesty will not listen."

Chu Yi nodded at Gu Dayong and said, "Director Gu has a heart. We also asked Director Gu to join us so that we can persuade His Majesty to go and rest."

Gu Dayong said with a smile: "I believe that as long as your Majesty sees Brother Chu Yi, you are safe and sound, His Majesty will feel at ease."

While talking, Gu Dayong and Chu Yi entered the hall. Chu Yi saw Zhu Houzhao sitting on the desk from a distance, and he should be practicing calligraphy.

You must know that with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, it's really not that easy to make him quiet and practice calligraphy, so when he sees Zhu Houzhao practicing calligraphy with his temperament, Chu Yi can see that Zhu Houzhao doesn't actually feel that way. calm.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help raising his head and looking at the group of people. When he saw Chu Yi who was striding forward, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up and his heart fell. He put down the brush in his hand and looked at Chu with a smile. Yi and Gu Dayong are two people.

"Chu Dafan, seeing you safe and sound, I feel at ease!"

Chu Yi bowed to Zhu Houzhao with a grateful face and said, "The slave maid is so cared by Your Majesty that I am in a panic, and I also ask Your Majesty to take the dragon's body as the most important thing, and don't hurt the dragon's body."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "It must be Gu Da Companion who said something nonsense with you. I haven't been so casual yet. It's just that I haven't rested for half a night. But Chu Da Companion is with you. I'm afraid this night will be thrilling."

Then Zhu Houzhao pulled Chu Yi and said, "Chu Da, tell me quickly, what is going on."

Chu Yi nodded slightly towards Gu Dayong and said, "Brother Gu, inform the imperial kitchen to prepare breakfast for His Majesty!"

Gu Dayong said: "Breakfast has already been prepared, but His Majesty insists on waiting for you to come before starting to eat!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Gu's companion, inform the imperial kitchen to pass the meal, you go to the next door to invite Yang Ge Lao, and today I will have a banquet to have a meal with Yang Ge Lao."

Chu Yi had already learned about Yang Tinghe from Wu Tong's mouth, but he did not expect Yang Tinghe to be left in this leopard room by Zhu Houzhao.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi knew in his heart that it was Zhu Houzhao's intention. Yang Tinghe had too much influence on the Chinese and military affairs of the dynasty. If Yang Tinghe secretly contacted the civil and military officials when he arrested Huang Huai and other family members, he might He caused a lot of trouble.

Zhu Houzhao kept Yang Tinghe here, making it clear that he was eliminating Yang Tinghe's possible adverse effects.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to notice the reaction of Chu Yi's expression, and couldn't help blinking at Chu Yi, as if I did a great job.

Chu Yi sighed secretly in his heart, after all, Zhu Houzhao was only in his twenties. If he had not been an emperor but had come from a wealthy family, he might have lived a very free and easy life.

There was a sound of footsteps, Chu Yi heard the sound and looked over, and saw a figure walking with Gu Dayong from the side hall on the side. Isn't it the first person in the court and the first assistant in the cabinet, Yang Tinghe?

Seeing Yang Tinghe, Chu Yi stepped forward with a smile on his face and said to Yang Tinghe, "I have seen Lord Shoufu."

Yang Tinghe hurriedly returned the salute: "Tinghe has seen the Chief Executive, the Chief Executive has not rested all night, and the spirit is still so good, I am really envious of the old man."

Chu Yi said with a smile: "Master Shoufu should be old and strong and work hard on state affairs, that is what Chu Yi should learn."

When the two were entertaining, there was already a little eunuch who had arranged the meals neatly, and Zhu Houzhao could be heard saying to Chu Yi and Yang Tinghe, "Chu Da companion, Yang Qing's family, will accompany me to eat here today."

It is an honor to be able to accompany the emperor to have a meal. If he is not the emperor's favorite minister, few people will have such treatment.

Yang Tinghe and Chu Yi hurriedly thanked them, and the two of them took their seats. The table was full of imperial meals with all the colors and flavors. There were about a dozen dishes. There was not much to say, but there was not much to say, but Zhu Houzhao specially ordered someone to add a few dishes. In fact, Zhu Houzhao would never allow the imperial kitchen to prepare so many meals on weekdays.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I specially ordered someone to add a few Sichuan dishes. If I remember correctly, the Qing family is from Chengdu, Sichuan. You might as well try it. This Sichuan cuisine is also in the Qing family's taste!"

Yang Tinghe suddenly looked moved and said to Zhu Houzhao: "The old minister has received His Majesty's love, and I am so grateful."

Saying that, Yang Tinghe wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Let Your Majesty, Director Chu laugh!"

Seeing Yang Tinghe's natural reaction, Chu Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is an old fox with superb acting skills like a movie king. If he didn't know, he really thought that Yang Tinghe was loyal and devoted allegiance to Zhu Houzhao.

I really didn't fall asleep, really, the fourth one who is late will be sent, ask for a monthly pass, and give a reward.

The old author Gu Yue's book, "God Touring the Heavens and Void Seas" will be on the shelves at noon. If you like it, you may wish to take a look.

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

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Chu Yi, and he heard Zhu Houzhao say: "Chu Da, Yang Qing's family heard that Huang Huai and others secretly dispatched troops to besiege Dongchang, so they came to report to Ming at the first time and asked me to dispatch troops to rescue you. , you must thank the Yang Qing family well!"

When Chu Yi heard the words, he hurriedly bowed to Yang Tinghe and said, "I never thought that Lord Yang would care so much about Chu, and Chu is here to give Lord Yang a glass of water and wine to express his gratitude!"

Yang Tinghe shook his head again and again: "Mr. Chu is really polite, Yang is the duty, as the chief assistant, he should be relieved of His Majesty's worries, Huang Huai and others even privately mobilize troops and horses, it is a treasonous act, Yang does not know That's all, since you know it, you have to tell your Majesty that it is."

Saying that, Yang Tinghe looked at Chu Yi and said, "Mr. Chu was afraid that it was quite dangerous last night. I wonder if Huang Huai and others have been taken down?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Chu Yi. After all, seeing that Chu Yi was safe and sound, they knew that Huang Huai and others must not have succeeded, but they were really curious about the specifics.

Chu Yi bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "If it wasn't for His Majesty's trustworthiness and the decree to transfer troops to the minister, the minister would have been surrounded and killed by Huang Huai at this moment."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. Previously, Chu Yi asked for an order to transfer troops, but Zhu Houzhao didn't think much about it. Out of trust in Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao didn't even ask Chu Yi what he wanted to transfer troops and gave it to Chu Yi.

This is the follow-up that Chu Yi dispatched Tengxiang Siwei and a group of soldiers and horses to successfully ambush Huang Huai and others. It can be said that if Zhu Houzhao did not give Chu Yi a hand order to dispatch troops, even if Chu Yi got the news in advance, he was afraid. Yes, he could only hide in the Tengxiang Four Guards Barracks, but in that case, it was obvious that he was telling Huang Huai and others that he was already alert, and it would not be so easy to tempt Huang Huai and others to take action.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Although I have given you a hand letter, all of this was planned by you, and Huang Huai and the others all rely on the power of your great companion."

Chu Yi said to Yang Tinghe: "Huang Huai and Ma Yunzhang have already taken all of them, and they will be sent to the Heavenly Prison to wait for their release, but there was a little accident in Huang Kui's place."

Yang Tinghe, who was stroking his beard, said curiously, "Oh, what happened to Huang Kui?"

Chu Yi said: "Huang Kui was a bit bloody, grabbed a knife and killed his concubine, wife and daughter, and then committed suicide on the spot."

A look of regret flashed in Yang Tinghe's eyes. Although Huang Kui was from a family of martial arts, he was a member of the civil service system, who controlled the five military governors' mansion for the civil service system.

Although it is said that the infiltration of the cultural management system into the five military governor's mansion is very serious, but suddenly going to a powerful person like Huang Kui will inevitably affect the cultural management system's control of the five military governor's mansion.

Although he felt regretful in his heart, Yang Tinghe's expression remained unchanged, and he sighed: "Huang Kui, as the right governor of the five army governor's office, knows that he has no orders to mobilize troops and horses without permission, but he knows the law and violates the law. Such a rebellious act, suicide is really cheap for him."

When mentioning Huang Kui, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but a burst of anger rose. That is the right governor of the five army governor's office. Even such important officials can even mobilize troops and horses privately. Can you mobilize troops and horses to besiege the Baofang or the Forbidden City?

The angry Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "Whether it is Huang Kui or Huang Huai, one of the people involved in this time must not be spared, and the other must not be forgiven lightly."

Just looking at Zhu Houzhao's reaction, I knew that Zhu Houzhao was really working hard, and I heard Zhu Houzhao say to Chu Yi: "Chu Da companion, I will leave this matter to you, no matter what, you must give me the people involved in this matter. I find them all, I don't believe it, only a few of them are involved in such a big thing."

Yang Tinghe's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but paused slightly and looked up at Zhu Houzhao. Is Zhu Houzhao trying to imprison him?

If this incident is expanded, then the consequences will be really serious. Some people cannot stand the investigation at all. The most important thing is that this matter has been characterized by Zhu Houzhao as treason. Those who come out belong to the same party.

Think about the case of Hu Weiyong's rebellion and the case of Lanyu's rebellion during the reign of Emperor Taizu. Which of the cases involving rebellion is not very involved, and the people who were killed are rolling.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Huang Huai and others cannot be forgiven for their crimes, but if you make a prison sentence, will it make all the officials in the court self-threatening, and the court and the opposition will be turbulent!"

Yang Tinghe looked like he was thinking of Zhu Houzhao and the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yi, who was sitting on the side, looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile while eating, while Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "For these people who are ignorant, the only way to stop killing is to kill, not killing is not enough. Qiankun, not killing is not enough to shock people's hearts."

Zhu Houzhao's murderous aura made Yang Tinghe tremble, and he also understood that Zhu Houzhao was really angry this time.
