The Most Powerful Man in the World

"Yes, Chu Yi must know how lawless Lu Wenyang is. He is trying to kill someone with a knife!"

"No, Lord Shoufu must not go there. We and I will go to see the Son of Heaven jointly. No matter what, we will not be able to let Chu Yi's conspiracy succeed."

Several pavilion elders looked excited, and could not wait to go to the leopard room immediately and let the emperor take back his will.

However, Yang Ting seemed to be very calm from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he glanced at the elders of the pavilion and coughed softly: "Yang thank you all, but this is Yang personally praying to the emperor, and it has nothing to do with others. , Your Majesty entrusted this matter to Yang, that is the trust in Yang..."

Fei Hong frowned and said, "Are you really going to investigate Lu Wenyang?"

Brushing his beard, Yang Tinghe said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty's decree has already come down. Naturally, Yang must go to investigate Lu Wenyang, otherwise how will the emperor communicate with him!"

"But... but if Lu Wenyang's dog jumps over the wall, aren't you in danger, my lord?"

Yang Tinghe looked straight, and said with a straight face: "He Lu Wenyang is lawless, don't we think we are afraid? Even if Yang is in danger, even if he loses his life, he must remove Lu Wenyang's cancer for His Majesty!"

If people see it, they will definitely be moved by Yang Tinghe's words and regard him as a loyal and straight minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Mian and Fei Hong looked at each other and sighed. Seeing Yang Tinghe's reaction, it was obvious that they had already made up their minds, and it was useless to persuade them.

"May the adults go here, everything goes well, and return to Beijing safely!"

Since several patriarchs could not change Yang Tinghe's mind, if today's decree has been made, they can only wish Yang Tinghe to investigate Lu Wenyang smoothly and return safely.

Soon Yang Tinghe arranged the affairs of the cabinet, and then selected more than a dozen officials from among the officials in the DPRK as helpers to investigate and deal with Lu Wenyang.

When many civil and military officials in the DPRK who were close to Yang Tinghe heard the news, it could be said that almost all of them were in disbelief. However, seeing that Yang Tinghe had arranged the staff and was ready to go, they had to believe it.

In addition to the dozens of Jinyiwei specially sent by the Son of Heaven to protect Yang Ting and Anwei, Yang Ting and his party were almost dozens of people.

At the gate of the city, many officials who were friends with Yang Tinghe came to see Yang Tinghe off. A well-known court official came, and a large number of high-ranking officials gathered at the gate of the city, attracting many people to frequently send strange messages. look.

Just looking at the civil and military officials who came to see Yang Tinghe off, you can see how influential Yang Tinghe is among the civil and military officials.

Lu Wenyang's murderous name is naturally not a secret among hundreds of officials. Now everyone knows that Yang Tinghe is going to investigate and deal with Lu Wenyang. For a while, many officials who have just received the news persuade Yang Tinghe not to go, and some even shouted to beg to see the emperor. , be sure to ask the Son of Heaven to withdraw the imperial decree.

If it wasn't for Yang Tinghe's reassurance, I am afraid that at least dozens of civil and military people would go to see the emperor at this time and beg the emperor to withdraw his will.

"Master Shoufu, how could the Son of Heaven make such a decision? Someone must be trying to kill someone with a knife, is it Chu Yi..."

Some officials directly identified that the culprit that caused Yang Tinghe to leave the capital to investigate Lu Wenyang was Chu Yi.

To be honest, they really didn't guess wrong. If it wasn't for Chu Yi's push, Zhu Houzhao might not have asked Yang Tinghe to investigate Lu Wenyang.

Therefore, these officials believed that it was Chu Yi that caused Yang Tinghe to be involved in the danger, and they really did not wrong Chu Yi.

"The thief is chasing the country. He is treating us as fools. No one can see such a simple plan to kill with a knife!"

"Master Shoufu, you promise, as long as you nod your head, everyone will immediately go to see the emperor to recover his fate!"

All the officials said to me, anyway, they just cursed Chu Yi and persuaded Yang Tinghe not to leave the capital.

On the long street, Cao Shaoqin drove a carriage slowly, and wherever he passed, anyone who recognized the very obvious carriage that Cao Shaoqin was driving took a few steps back subconsciously.

This carriage was specially given by the emperor, and it can be said that most people in Beijing recognize that this carriage is Chu Yi's car.

It's okay to curse and curse Chu Yi behind his back on weekdays, but if he is in front of Chu Yi, even if he is killed, I'm afraid there is no place to complain.

"Look, Chu Yi is here!"

Some officials saw Chu Yi's carriage at a glance, and as Chu Yi's right-hand man, Cao Shaoqin was naturally also firmly remembered by many officials. The second person drives the car in person, even a fool can guess that there will be no second person on the carriage except Chu Yi.

The officials who were still cursing Chu Yi suddenly shut their mouths. Chu Yi's reputation is even more fierce than Liu Jin. Not to mention, Huang Huai and others who are only imprisoned in the sky prison and may go to the court at any time. , that is the most striking example.

If he provokes Chu Yi, he might end up being annihilated.

As Chu Yi's car slowly approached, everyone gave way. Several important court officials stood beside Yang Tinghe and watched Chu Yi's car stop.

Everyone frowned. Could it be that Chu Yi used a knife to kill someone to see Yang Tinghe's joke?

Cao Shaoqin jumped off the carriage and opened the curtain, Chu Yi walked out slowly from the carriage, his eyes swept over the surrounding officials, and finally fell on Yang Tinghe.

Holding hands slightly, Chu Yi chuckled and said, "I heard that Lord Yang is going to investigate and deal with Lu Wenyang today, and he specially came to see Lord Yang off!"

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and laughed, stepped forward and said to Chu Yi, "Mr. Chu personally came to see Yang off, Yang is deeply honored!"

Chu Yi nodded at Cao Shaoqin, and saw Cao Shaoqin take out a jar of fine wine and dishes from the carriage, Chu Yi took the water and wine from Cao Shaoqin, handed a cup to Yang Tinghe and said: "Master Yang, drink this cup full, I wish Master Yang all the best in this trip!"

Many officials looked at the water wine with a look of concern, but Yang Tinghe chuckled lightly, took the water wine calmly, and said to Chu Yi, "Thanks to Director Chu Ji Yan!"

Between the words, Yang Tinghe drank it all.

Chu Yi turned and got into the carriage, and Cao Shaoqin immediately turned the front of the carriage, and then drove the carriage away under the watchful eyes of the officials.

Watching Chu Yi leave, Fei Hong, who was standing beside Yang Ting and his side, said with a puzzled expression: "Sir, what does this Chu Yi mean? He didn't really come to see him off, right?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head slowly and said, "Let's go back, everyone, it's time for Yang to set off."

Everyone looked at Yang Tinghe's disappearing figure, and everyone sighed and left.

In the capital, since Yang Tinghe left, most of the affairs in the cabinet were discussed together by several elders.

On this day, a decree from Zhu Houzhao was sent to the cabinet.

Fei Hong, Jiang Mian and several other patriarchs looked at the emperor's will with hesitant expressions on their faces.

This decree is nothing else, but the emperor has officially made a decision to execute Huang Huai and others, which requires a procedure in the cabinet.

Looking at the dense list of executions, many of them were colleagues they were all familiar with, such as Ma Yunzhang, Huang Huai, Mo Qing, Xun De and others.

With a light cough, Jiang Mian broke the peace between several patriarchs, glanced at the list and said, "Everyone, let's discuss it, Your Majesty's will is as follows, if you agree, then send it down, if you don't agree, Everyone will jointly write a letter to the emperor, urging your majesty to think twice!"

Ge Lao Li Shi knew that Chu Yi had arrested a lot of people, but when he really saw the dense list, he was still very shocked.

Li Shi could only hear him saying, "Everyone, we must join forces to beg the Son of Heaven. If Chu Yi's conspiracy succeeds, I'm afraid that above the history books, we will be infamous for thousands of years!"

Jiang Mian said: "But Huang Huai and others are involved in the crime of treason, which can be described as an unforgivable crime. Even if we want to ask for mercy, there is nothing we can do."

Li Shi said: "Indeed, I have no way to intercede for Huang Huai and others, but Mo Qing, Xun De and others are just implicated. As long as we report that tomorrow's son, Chu Yi, is wantonly implicated in making unjust, false and wrong cases, even if we can't keep Huang Huai Huai and others must at least protect Mo Qing, Xun De and others."

Everyone knows that Mo Qing is Li Shi's favorite student, so it is reasonable for Li Shi to want to keep Mo Qing, but everyone knows that the emperor is angry, even if he wants to ask for mercy, it is not so easy.

Therefore, the elders were all silent, obviously they did not agree with Li Shi's proposal.

Fei Hong said slowly: "Master Li, Mo Qing is involved in a major case of rebellion. It's because I refuse to take action. I really can't take action at all."

This case of treason cannot be concluded, and many people in the capital are uneasy. If Chu Yi takes the opportunity to make a big deal, they will not even have a place to complain.

Although Chu Yi arrested a lot of people, but after all, they didn't get involved as much as they feared, especially Jiang Mian and Fei Hong. If Chu Yi really wanted to get involved, I'm afraid it would be difficult for both of them. Excuse the culprit, losing office will be light at that time, or it will take the lives of the whole family.

Hearing this, Li Shi couldn't help staring at Fei Hong and Jiang Mian, and said, "You guys..."

Jiang Mian said slowly: "Since everyone has no opinion, then file it!"

Li Shi, who cultivated Mo Qing as a successor, really did his best for Mo Qing, but this is not surprising. After all, Mo Qing is his successor. According to Li Shi's idea, in a few years, when he starts his career , then relying on his personal connections to push Mo Qing into the cabinet, he can also have no worries.

There was no opinion from the cabinet, and Jingzhong quickly posted a notice.

There was an uproar in Beijing for a while, and it was beyond everyone's expectations that the case of Huang Huai and others would be closed so quickly.

Originally, when they learned that the case was handed over to Chu Yi by the emperor, many people wondered whether Chu Yi would take the opportunity to create a bloody case involving a wide range of issues.

Looking at the notice posted, there are indeed a lot of names on it, but in the past few decades, the most sensational case of treason in the capital has only thousands of people divided by capital punishment. expected.

Jiao Fang and Bi Heng were in the crowd, and looking at the notice posted, they found a restaurant and sat down.

The restaurant was originally a place where people came and went, and it was on the seats next to Jiao Fang and Bi Heng, and several literati were there and said angrily: "The castrated thief Chu Yi actually slaughtered Zhongliang. Lord Mo Qing and Lord Xun De, He Gu, were beaten by Chu Yi as conspiring against the party, this is slander at all!"

A scholar looked around and sighed softly: "The emperor was deceived by the thief Chu, and even Lord Shoufu was transferred out of the capital by the thief. Without Lord Yang, who else in the capital can check and balance this? robber."

"Hmph, the god-killed eunuch, since he gained power, I don't know how many scholars of my generation have been murdered by him, from Songyang Academy to Jiangnan, and now they are killing them in the capital."

Sitting on the side, Jiao Fang sipped fine wine while listening to the eloquent discussions of the people in the restaurant.

Since the notice was posted, it can be said that the topic of the capital at the moment is the many officials involved in the case of Huang Huai and others conspiracy.

Who does not have three relatives and six ancestors, except for Huang Huai's several principal criminals who were executed from the nine clans, the other officials involved in the case only executed their clan.

There was a lot of discussion, either an official was wronged, or an official deserved it.

Bi Heng looked back, glanced at Jiao Fang, and said in a low voice, "Lord Jiao, what do you think of the fact that the Principal has not been involved this time?"

ps: Another book, the new book "The Most Bullish God in History" by the boutique author Antarctic Scorching Sun, the same formula, the same taste, if you like it, you might as well take a look.

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

Jiao Fang stroked his beard and smiled slightly, looked at Bi Heng and said, "What do you think, Master Bi!"

Bi Heng said slowly: "Bi thinks that it is wiser for Mr. Chief Manager not to take advantage of this opportunity to be involved. If not, I am afraid that Manager Chu has already become the target of public criticism at this moment!"

A light flashed in his eyes, Jiao Fang nodded and said, "Sir Bi is very true, as soon as the case of Huang Huai and others conspiracy is revealed, it can be said that in the capital, the civil and military officials and even the powerful are all uneasy, especially His Majesty General. This case is handed over to the Governor, and I don’t know how many people are afraid that the Governor will join forces and take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents. This old man has no doubt that if the Governor really dares to do this, the civil and military officials will definitely unite to fight back!”

Bi Heng put down the wine glass and said, "Yeah, I really broke a cold sweat on behalf of the Governor at that time. Fortunately, the Governor was not in a hurry for quick success."

Jiao Fang smiled and said: "The Governor is more transparent than what we see, and his vision is not comparable to me. Otherwise, the Governor would kill all the way from Jiangnan to the capital, why would he hate the Chinese military officials to death, but is it? Lord Dato has nothing to do."

For Chu Yi's grasp of the general trend and his style of conduct, Jiao Fang couldn't be more esteemed.

After all, he has been working for Chu Yi for several years, and few people know better than him how clever Chu Yi's methods are.

Among the several literati who were talking eloquently, one of them said, "The castrated thief has seized power, the first assistant has left the capital, and the court Zhongliang has been stigmatized as a conspiracy of rebels. My generation of scholars is for the livelihood of the common people, for the sake of the people, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. , when you come forward and jointly write a letter to the emperor, begging the emperor to stay away from thieves and close to worthy ministers!"

Most of the other literati clapped their hands excitedly and praised: "Excellent, wonderful, Brother Jing'an is right!"

Jiao Fang and Bi Heng looked a little dignified as they watched a few literati leave with their drunken companions, discussing to join forces with many literati in Beijing to write a letter to the emperor.

With a sigh, Bi Heng said slowly: "As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, it seems that some people think that the capital is not lively enough!"

Jiao Fang sneered and said with a bit of disdain: "It's just a group of arrogant people who are regarded as chess pieces and don't even know it. I don't want to think that as long as the righteousness is in hand, the Governor has never hesitated to kill!"

In Jiao Fang's view, these scholars are simply idiots, and they are still complacent when they are used, but they don't know if they still have the inexplicable sense of honor of asking for the people's life when they were killed.

Bi Heng drank the wine and said, "But I still have to remind the Governor of these things, otherwise, if these people really make a move, it will not be a good thing for the Governor after all!"

Jiao Fang nodded and said: "What Master Bi said is very true. After returning home, you and I will jointly send a handwritten letter to the supervisor to clarify this matter."

There is a Yuanshan Poetry Society in the capital. Although it is said that the capitals in the north are like Jiangnan, the literary style is at its peak, but as the capital of a country, it naturally gathers many scholars and writers.

The Yuanshan Poetry Society is also quite famous among the large and small book clubs and poetry clubs in Beijing. Such a poetry club is located in an elegant mansion in the west of the city.

This mansion is said to be the other courtyard in the name of Li Shi, the old cabinet cabinet of the current dynasty. Li Ge is especially fond of poetry, so he specially provided such a courtyard for free as the activity place of the Yuanshan Poetry Society on weekdays. .

Even the elders would come to participate in the poetry clubs of the Poetry Society in their spare time. There is an elder who supports the Yuanshan Poetry Society like this. It is conceivable that the Yuanshan Poetry Society is naturally well-known in the capital.

This day is the day when the Poetry Society meets once every half month, but all the members of the Poetry Society in the capital will come to the Poetry Society meeting if they have nothing to delay.
