The Most Powerful Man in the World

In the evening, at Chu Yi's residence, Liu Jin looked at Chu Yi with a smile and said, "Brother, how have you been all these years?"

Although I don't know how much Liu Jin's brother still has in the past, Chu Yi, like Liu Jin, said excitedly, "Meng eldest brother misses him, and my younger brother has been very leisurely in the imperial history all these years."

Liu Jin patted his chest and said to Chu Yi, "Don't worry, in the future, in this East Palace, my brother will cover you."

This is to win over Chu Yi. After all, the prince is headed by Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, and few other eunuchs remain neutral. Chu Yi has made the prince so important. If Liu Jin is not in a hurry to win over Weird.

"Little brother, thank you brother Liu Jin for taking care of him. In the future, he will follow his lead."

"Giggle!"

Liu Jin smiled sharply and said to Chu Yi: "You and my brothers join forces to win the favor of the prince, and in the future, you and I will share the inner court equally."

To be honest, Chu Yi really had no idea of ​​competing with Liu Jin for favor. On the one hand, the timing was immature, and on the other hand, it was because no matter how hard the fight came, he would only be the head of an eunuch.

Chu Yi's goal is to dominate the world and control the emperor, and only in that way can he get a huge amount of luck, otherwise, how much luck can a mere chief eunuch get.

As the saying goes, the big tree attracts the wind, and the early citron will rot first. Since Liu Jin is so fond of fighting for power and profit, then he will rely on Liu Jin to quietly grow himself under the big tree.

The strong wind and heavy rain were blocked by Liu Jin, and he only needed to wave his hoe to dig Liu Jin's corner and strengthen his strength.

When Liu Jin was executed in the future, he might as well take advantage of the situation, not only to replace Liu Jin, but even to go a step further.

Knowing that Liu Jin had met Chu Yi one step ahead of him, Gu Dayong still came with a small gift to try to win over Chu Yi, but was pushed back by Chu Yi's Tai Chi push hands.

Liu Jin was naturally overjoyed when he learned that Gu Dayong hadn't even given away anything, but felt that he had overwhelmed Gu Dayong.

I thought that there would be a lot of things to do with the prince, but contrary to Chu Yi's expectations, he still lived leisurely as always.

Gu Dayong and Liu Jin competed against each other, while Chu Yi made friends with the eunuchs beside the other princes in a gesture of spring breeze and rain. In just over half a year, Chu Yi became much closer to these people.

Another year has passed, and Chu Yi has grown a year older. The eight servants whom Zhu Houzhao trusted in the future have now all arrived in Zhu Houzhao's East Palace. Although Chu Yi is low-key, he can always win Zhu Houzhao's favor at critical moments. Therefore, among the attendants, Zhu Houzhao's increasing trust in Chu Yi is not necessarily worse than Liu Jin and Gu Dayong.

It's a pity that Gu Dayong and Liu Jin only have each other's eyes, and they didn't realize that Chu Yi had obtained Zhu Houzhao's letter in silence.

This spring seems to have come a little earlier, but there is a little more depression in the East Palace. To be precise, it should be a little more depression in the entire palace.

Today's Son of Heaven, Emperor Hongzhi cannot afford to lie on a bed and is seriously ill. Even the New Year's ceremony is presided over by Prince Zhu Houzhao.

On this day, Chu Yi was meditating cross-legged in the room to practice the inner breath, when suddenly a burst of weeping came from the direction of the emperor's palace.

Chu Yi stood up suddenly, pushed open the door and stood looking towards the emperor's palace. With his ear, he could clearly hear the sound of weeping from the direction of the palace.

This is the imperial palace, especially the direction of the sound is where the emperor's palace is located. Whoever dares to cry like this on weekdays is definitely a disrespectful crime, and if it is serious, he will be executed.

But now there is a sound of weeping, even if Chu Yi's reaction is slow, he will understand in his heart that this is the death of the emperor.

This half-month-old prince Zhu Houzhao lived in the emperor's bedroom and served before Emperor Hongzhi's sick bed, while Gu Dayong and Liu Jin accompanied him, leaving Chu Yi and others to guard the East Palace.

Soon, the eunuchs spread the news of the emperor's death throughout the palace, and at the same time, the bronze bells that were only tolled when there were major events in the palace rang, and the whole Forbidden City reverberated with bells.

In the capital, those cabinet ministers can be said to have been paying attention to the movements in the palace these days. At this moment, the bell sounded from the palace, and many ministers fell to the ground and cried.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Except for Liu Jian, the cabinet minister, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, who had been invited into the palace by the emperor in advance, the civil and military officials who received the news all began to prepare for the matter of entering the palace.

On the third day, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and at the meeting of the great court, Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, read the edict of Emperor Hongzhi, and led the officials to invite the prince Zhu Houzhao to the throne.

First choose the auspicious day to ascend the throne, and then arrange the funeral of Emperor Daxing, and more than a month has passed by the time all this comes to an end.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, first of all, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and then Li Dongyang took over the position of the first assistant of the cabinet. In addition to the changes in the cabinet, the biggest change should belong to the inner court.

After all, even if Zhu Houzhao was the emperor, he couldn't do whatever he wanted, but in the inner court, Zhu Houzhao decided.

As the servants of the Donggong Qiangdian, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Chu Yi and others naturally became popular all of a sudden.

[What is that, please collect it, recommend it]

Chapter 18 The New Overseer

Of course, even if Zhu Houzhao wanted to replace the important positions of the inner court with his henchmen one by one, it would not be done overnight.

First of all, Liu Jin replaced Wang Yue as the director of the Si Li Supervisor, and Wang Yue was sent to Nanjing as a guard eunuch.

Then there was Admiral Gu Dayong, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Fan Heng was also sent to guard one side.

If that's the case, that's all. The most surprising thing is Zhu Houzhao's arrangement for Chu Yi. Generally speaking, the chief supervisor of the li li will often serve as the director of the Dongchang factory.

I just don't know what Zhu Houzhao thought about making Chu Yi replace Xu Zhi as the new Dongchang factory boss.

Even Chu Yi himself was a little stunned when he learned of Zhu Houzhao's order, which made Liu Jin, who came to deliver the order to Chu Yi in person, felt a little better.

After all, it has always been the practice that the director of the li supervisor also serves as the director of the Dongchang factory, but this time the Dongchang factory fell into Chu Yi's hands inexplicably. Even Liu Jin felt a little uncomfortable when he regarded Chu Yi as his little brother. what.

Chu Yi came back to his senses, first received the imperial decree, and then said to Liu Jin with a wry smile: "Brother Liu, what does Your Majesty mean? Hasn't it always been that the supervisor of li is also the owner of the East Factory, why? …”

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "How can I, as a servant, guess your majesty's thoughts!"

After speaking, Liu Jin looked at Chu Yi and said, "Fortunately, this Dongchang factory fell into your hands, brother. If it falls into the hands of Gu Da, then brother, I will really have a headache."

Chu Yi smiled and said, "The East Factory is in the hands of the younger brother. If the elder brother has anything to do, just tell me."

Liu Jin was very satisfied when he heard it. After all, Chu Yi was also a popular man before the emperor, and now he was promoted to the lord of Dongchang Factory. If he really said it, he might not have the power under him. With such respect, Liu Jin secretly praised Chu Yi for being loyal.

After sending Liu Jin away, Chu Yi looked at the gorgeous robe that was given to him by the Dongchang factory supervisor, took a deep breath, and sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

On the altar of luck, Chu Yi silently checked the skyrocketing luck. This time, he became the owner of the East Factory so that Chu Yi's luck skyrocketed by more than [-] points, and the luck points exceeded [-] for the first time.

Opening his eyes, Chu Yi sat there upright, although his face was a little immature, but considering his current status, absolutely no one dared to underestimate him, the new director of the East Factory.

It is said that Jinyiwei is famous for its fierce reputation, but compared with Dongchang, it is obviously more frightening.

"Little Fang, serve Ben Governor and change clothes!"

It has now been nearly a year since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. During this year, Zhu Houzhao finally completed a major change in the court and inside and outside the palace.

Almost half of the old people in the palace were sent out. After all, the general managers of these departments were people from the era of Emperor Hongzhi. Now that Zhu Houzhao is in charge of the world, it is natural to replace him with his confidants.

Like Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, they each have their own confidants. Chu Yi has been staying in Huangshiyuan for the past few years, so the only thing that can be regarded as Chu Yi's territory is the obscure department of Huangshiyuan. .

Fortunately, Huang Shizhen had three or two cats, Chen Du and Han Chao were unwilling to leave Huang Shizhen. Chu Yi did not force it. Chu Yi transferred Chu Fang and Wang Zheng to his side.

Chu Fang quietly appeared beside Chu Yi, and saw Chu Fang look at Chu Yi with a bit of joy in his eyes: "Congratulations to your lord, congratulations!"

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Clean up and follow the factory supervisor to the East Factory for a walk."

Chu Fang's quick service, Chu Yi, put on the robe of the Dongchang factory supervisor. This robe is not only gorgeous, but also worn on Chu Yi's body. When Chu Yi looked solemn, it added a bit of power.

The East Factory was built during the reign of Emperor Chengzu, Zhu Di. It was the eyes and ears of Da Mingzi to monitor the world. Later, it jumped to the top of Jinyiwei and became an extremely powerful force.

Chu Yi took the two eunuchs Chu Fang and Wang Zheng to the Donghua Gate.

Although the top and bottom of the East Factory said that they were surprised that Chu Yi was appointed as the superintendent, they did not dare to have any other thoughts after thinking that the other party was the confidant and valet of Jinzi, even Xu Zhi, who had been the admiral of the East Factory for many years. Honestly handed over the seal and left the town.

At this moment, in the spacious hall of the East Factory, Chu Yi was sitting in the center in a robe, with a huge portrait of Yue Fei behind him, and the staff of the East Factory below were respectfully saluting to Chu Yi.

Looking at the Dongchang employees who were able to stop the crying of their children when they went out, Chu Yi flashed a gleam in his eyes, swept over everyone with a solemn expression, and said slowly, "Where is the punishment for thousands of households and the punishment for hundreds of households!"

Immediately, the two of them stepped forward and bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Sun Wanzu, who is in charge of punishing thousands of households, and Chen Dalun, who is responsible for punishing hundreds of households, pay tribute to the governor."

Chu Yi looked at the two with a smile on his lips and said nothing. However, Chu Yi's attitude made Sun Wanzu and Chen Dalun murmuring in their hearts. After all, they had nothing to do with the new governor. learn.

Even if the other party wiped out their positions in one sentence, it would be a simple matter. It can be said that from the moment Chu Yi was appointed as the Admiral of Dongchang by the emperor, Dongchang was Chu Yi's territory, and all the personnel were appointed and dismissed. It is up to Chu Yi to decide.

Gently tapping on the coffee table, Chu Yi suddenly said: "You two are very good. From now on, you will be honest. Chu Fang and Wang Zheng will stay in the East Factory and be in charge. The supervisor has always been rewarded and punished. , will not treat you badly."

After listening to Chu Yi's words, Sun Wanzu and Chen Dalun's dangling hearts finally came to the ground. Although it was only a while, but it was a torment for them, and it was also a means for Chu Yi to subdue them.

If it was said that they had despised Chu Yi because of his age, but now with Chu Yi's means, the little thought in their hearts suddenly vanished.

Dongchang up and down, all life and death are decided by Chu Yi, so it is not so difficult for Chu Yi to conquer Dongchang.

Compared with Jinyiwei, who has a large number of personnel, the East Factory has always been the site of the eunuchs in the big inner circle. It is difficult for other forces to reach into the East Factory, and the emperor will not sit by and watch the East Factory be penetrated.

He waved his hand, motioning for Sun Wanzu, Chen Dalun and others to retire for the time being, leaving only a dozen Dongchang supervisors, foremans, clerks and a dozen Dongchang stall owners.

If it is said that punishing thousands of households and punishing hundreds of households is the helper to assist the Dongchang factory in supervising the management of the huge Dongchang factory, then those who have been left behind are the true backbone and core personnel of the Dongchang factory.

Dongchang's supervision of the world and the handling of cases by Tiqi are all handled by these people.

Among these people, Rudong Factory's head and foreman were nothing more than foremen. Most of them were eunuchs from the big inner circle, and many were only in charge of clerical duties.

These stalls are often held by the desperados who are collected by the East Factory. Because these people are not allowed to be in the rivers and lakes, they can only take shelter in the East Factory, so there is no need to worry about the loyalty of these people.

Besides, only these desperadoes are willing to condescend under eunuchs in order to survive. Otherwise, the so-called righteous masters above the rivers and lakes are absolutely unwilling to have anything to do with Dongchang, even for their own reputation. Relationship.

Not to mention, Dongchang can have such a fierce name, even in the rivers and lakes, it is famous, there is still some background.

Among the dozen or so stalls, almost all of them can be called first-class players in the arena. With such a force, I am afraid that no one sect can compete alone.

Chapter 19 The tyrannical subordinate 【Recommendation】

These villains are all rebellious people, but in front of Chu Yi, they are as docile as cats, daring not to be presumptuous.

I only heard Chu Yi say slowly: "You are the backbone of my East Factory. The supervisor believes in your ability, and I hope you will not disappoint the supervisor."

Few people value them as much as Chu Yi. Just like when Xu Zhi was in charge of the East Factory, Xu Zhi was suppressed by Wang Yue and Fan Heng, and he focused more on competing for favor, and he didn't care much about the East Factory. Therefore, these true backbones of the East Factory have never felt the attention from the East Factory superintendent.

Now that Chu Yi has replaced Xu Zhi as the director of the East Factory, he has shown that he values ​​these people as soon as he comes up, how can he not make everyone excited about it.

Xu Zhi himself is unpopular, and now Chu Yi has used some tricks to easily bring Dongchang under his command.

"Everyone, let's step back, Cao Shaoqin stay."

Yes, Chu Yi noticed Cao Shaoqin from the very beginning.

For Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi was quite impressed. After all, the reason why he was able to go to the Imperial Palace was because he and Cao Shaoqin showed his ability in front of Fan Heng in a fight.

It's just that Chu Yi didn't expect that he would meet Cao Shaoqin in the East Factory. At the beginning, Cao Shaoqin was very popular with Wang Yue. According to Wang Yue's ability, Cao Shaoqin should be sent to Zhu Houzhao, who is still the prince.

As a result, Liu Jin appeared beside Zhu Houzhao. It seems that after Wang Yue took Liu Jin away, Cao Shaoqin fell out of favor with Wang Yue.

There is a saying that things are right and wrong, good fortune tricks people, and looking at Chu Yi, who is sitting at a high level in a luxurious robe of the director of the East Factory, Cao Shaoqin can be said to be filled with emotion.

A few years ago, everyone had the same status, and they were all just a little eunuch. However, it was only a few short years ago that two people from the same starting point would have such a big difference.

Seeing the change of expression in Cao Shaoqin's eyes, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Cao Shaoqin, let's meet again."

A wry smile flowed from Cao Shaoqin's eyes, and he bowed to Chu Yi: "It made the governor laugh."

Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin and said, "Tell me how you came to this East Factory."

Cao Shaoqin is a talent. Among the people in Dongchang, only Cao Shaoqin can't see through it, which means that Cao Shaoqin's cultivation level may not be worse than him.

Chu Yi never thought that he was truly invincible. In this world, there were always some evildoers who were far stronger than ordinary people.

Obviously, Cao Shaoqin should be a prodigy of martial arts.

Seemingly remembering the past, Cao Shaoqin's eyes flashed a bit of unwillingness and slowly said: "When the prince brought back Liu Jin, I didn't expect that Liu Jin was actually a man with a good mouth and a sword, and framed me in front of the father-in-law, so I was sent by the father-in-law. Come to the East Factory."
