Chapter 974: The Cause of the Past
I have to say that Zhu Houzhao's madness on the spot really shocked the hearts of the officials, but over the years, Zhu Houzhao has given people the impression of being too benevolent, even if he has thunderous means, but he has also been covered up by the cabinet elders, and Zhu Houzhao's impression on the world has naturally become a rare monarch of the Holy Ming.
The civil and military officers who were kneeling on the ground lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to look up at Zhu Houzhao, and some people were even trembling, especially the officials like Zhao Xiong and others who were planning to attack Chu Yi before, and the shock in their hearts at this time can naturally be imagined.
"This ...... How is this possible, how can the Son of Heaven have such trust in Chu Thief! ”
"Fake, it must be fake, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to be unwary of Chu thieves."
Zhao Xiong and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, frantically denied the scene they saw in their hearts, and kept cheering themselves up and strengthening their confidence.
I don't know how long it has been, Zhu Houzhao coldly flicked his sleeves and shouted in a deep voice: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
I don't know why, many officials actually had a feeling of breathing a sigh of relief after hearing Zhu Houzhao's will.
A group of civil and military officers dispersed separately, it is conceivable that these civil and military must be full of emotion in their hearts, and this scene in the court has given many officials an extremely striking signal, that is, Zhu Houzhao's trust in Chu Yi as always, and the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers does not seem to be as simple as they imagined.
Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Chen Ding and others, who were cabinet elders, finally walked out of the main hall, and at this time, those officials had already left, and the last officials to come out could be said to be people in high positions.
And among these officials, eight or nine out of ten were officials who had experienced Chu Yi's era, and it was these officials who had experienced the era when Chu Yi single-handedly covered the sky and suppressed the world, so they could understand why Zhu Houzhao reacted so fiercely, and even did not hesitate to order the two officials who dared to stand up and separate his relationship with Chu Yi to be beaten to death.
After all, such a thing as killing an official in court is detrimental to the reputation of any emperor, especially a magnanimous monarch like Zhu Houzhao, even if he wants to kill someone, it is very rare to directly execute an official without going through the three divisions and the criminal department.
Brushing his beard, Wang Yangming sneered and said, "It seems that some people are really thieves!" ”
Yang Yiqing smiled slightly when he heard this: "Actually, it's not surprising that this kind of thing will appear in the court, don't forget that His Royal Highness the Martial King killed all sides back then, and I don't know how many potential enemies he has planted on himself, if the Martial King is still there these years, then with his might, it can naturally shock people's hearts." But King Wu has been away from the court for so many years, and many new officials naturally don't know the power of His Royal Highness, in this case, if it is instigated by someone with a heart, then it is normal for someone to jump out. ”
Chen Ding sighed slightly: "Your Majesty seems to be really angry, and I don't know how many people will be implicated this time, I just hope that fewer people will be implicated." ”
Although Chen Ding is pedantic, he is loyal to the court and Zhu Houzhao, and what he is worried about is that once the matter expands this time, I don't know how many officials will be implicated, and it will eventually affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
For Chen Ding, the elders of the pavilion are very clear, Chen Ding is not at all surprised to say such words, Wang Yangming smiled at Chen Ding and said: "Chen Ge Lao is not worried, neither His Majesty nor His Royal Highness King Wu is the kind of person who kills indiscriminately, but this time His Majesty is angry, and there is turmoil in the court is inevitable." I just hope that there are not so many officials who will participate in this time. ”
When Zhao Xiong and the others, who walked out of the main hall, bathed in the sun, they seemed to have walked before the ghost gate was closed.
These officials who have ghosts in their hearts only feel that they have turned around before the ghost gate is closed, and the wet patch on their backs is really too powerful that Zhu Houzhao revealed, plus they have ghosts in their hearts, and their willpower is amazing if they don't collapse on the spot.
Zhao Xiong and the others, who were bathed in the sun again, glanced at each other, and did not dare to leave in a hurry without the slightest abnormality.
The Son of Heaven has ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate this matter thoroughly, and Zhao Xiong and the others are not fools, they are sure that at this time, they are secretly afraid that there are already people from Jinyiwei and even Dongchang who are observing the actions of any official.
But if there is a trace of abnormality, it may attract the suspicion of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and they themselves are suspicious, if they are targeted by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, won't they follow in the footsteps of Xu Cheng and Chen Kai at that time?
After the officials left, in addition to Wang Zheng and several other attendants in the main hall, Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi were left.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "Big companion, don't worry, I won't let anyone go this time, and I will definitely sweep away these thieves who dare to target my big partner, have ill intentions, have sinister intentions, and want to separate the relationship between you and me, and give my big companion an explanation." ”
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance, Chu Yi slowly got up, walked to Zhu Houzhao's approach, looked Zhu Houzhao up and down, and sighed lightly: "Your Majesty is mature, but there is no Chu, Your Majesty is the same as a lord of Shengming......"
Zhu Houzhao was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was a little flustered inexplicably, looked at Chu Yi and said, "Big companion, you ...... You don't want to leave me, do you? ”
thought that Chu Yi had taken the opportunity to go to the South Seas and left quietly, and it took him more than ten years to find Chu Yi again.
Regarding Chu Yi's ability to enter other worlds, although Zhu Houzhao said that he had never asked Chu Yi, he also knew it, and now Chu Yi's words naturally made Zhu Houzhao feel a little flustered, in case Chu Yi came again without saying goodbye, he didn't dare to guarantee that he still had the ability to take Da Ming to find Chu Yi.
Even excited, Zhu Houzhao reached out and grabbed Chu Yi, that look gave people the feeling that he was afraid that as soon as he let go, Chu Yi would disappear in front of him.
Chu Yi, who was slightly stunned by Zhu Houzhao's reaction, also reacted at this time, and it was obvious that his words made Zhu Houzhao misunderstand.
Coughing lightly, Chu Yi smiled at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty is thinking badly, Chu's relatives are all here, even if he wants to leave, can he still give up his relatives?" ”
Hearing Chu Yi say this, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and seemed to be just as Chu Yi said, after all, with his understanding of Chu Yi, it was obviously impossible for Chu Yi to abandon Chu Ying and Chu Ning and leave alone.
Thinking about this, Zhu Houzhao was a little relieved, looked at Chu Yi and said: "Companion, I hope that when you leave one day, you must inform Yu Me, otherwise, I will not be at ease!" ”
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao with an earnest look at him, and nodded at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and said to Chu Yi: "Companion and accompany me to drink, and wait for the news of Dongchang and Jinyiwei with me." ”
Just when Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi were drinking in the palace, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who had received the will of the Son of Heaven, acted as fast as they could.
Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, it can be said that it is completely in the hands of Zhu Houzhao, and it is with Dongchang and Jinyiwei as eyes and ears that Zhu Houzhao can perfectly control the court.
Cao Shaoqin, who has now become the ruler of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and Yue Buqun are all subordinates brought out by Chu Yi back then.
The two of them are absolutely loyal and respectful to Chu Yi, and now someone dares to try to challenge Chu Yi above the court, don't say that the Son of Heaven does not agree, even they do not agree.
If there was no will of the Son of Heaven, it would be difficult for them to target these people, but now that they have the will of the Son of Heaven, it is conceivable that Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who have the will of the Son of Heaven, will burst out with such amazing power.
At this moment, where the yamen of Dongchang is located, Cao Shaoqin is sitting there in a fancy costume, and a figure is also sitting next to him, and it is Yang Zhi who has risen with Chu Yi.
Yang Zhi was in charge of the affairs of the East Factory under Chu Yi at the beginning, and now he was naturally arranged to the East Factory, and was arranged into the East Factory with him, and Lin Chong, Xu Ning and others were still in charge of the East Factory.
With several celestial powerhouses entering the East Factory, the high-level strength of the East Factory suddenly skyrocketed a lot, and at this time, Cao Shaoqin was facing Yang Zhi and Lin Chong with a straight face: "Several, Your Majesty decrees, order us to dig out all the accomplices of Xu Cheng, Chen Kai and others, and not let one go." ”
Maybe Yang Zhi's recognition of Zhu Houzhao is not too high, but they are loyal to Chu Yi, and now that they know that someone dares to target Chu Yi, Yang Zhi and they naturally do not agree.
Hearing this, Yang Zhi sneered and said: "This matter is easy, it is impossible for Xu Ying and Chen Kai to dare to stand up against His Royal Highness King Wu alone, there must be someone behind them to support them, and it is not difficult to dig out these people." ”
As he was talking, he saw a stall leader running over with a thick stack of files and saying to Cao Shaoqin: "Factory father, the information about Xu Ying and Chen Kai has been transferred. ”
Cao Shaoqin stretched out his hand and grabbed the void, and saw that the thick stack of case files was caught in front of him on the spot, and he opened the case files, which had detailed information records about Xu Ying and Chen Kai.
The level of detail in this case is probably that Xu Cheng and Chen Kai will be shocked when they see it with their own eyes.
With the deliberate support and strengthening of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei can be said to have tentacles all over the world, and their strength is extremely amazing.
Even if Zhu Houzhao is a benevolent king, but it is the responsibility of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to supervise the world, but Dongchang and Jinyiwei are too terrible, and they are stunned to involve many secrets of hundreds of officials in the world, although they dare not say that they know everything, but they have also found out many secret things.
Just like Xu Yingsu had close contacts with Zhao Xiong and other officials, it is recorded in this file that every official has his own circle of contact, which is normal, even those hidden eyeliners and secret agents who are responsible for supervising hundreds of officials will not suspect anything because of this, but will only record these truthfully.
These case files are naturally useless, and they are piled up in the secret vault of Dongchang or Jinyiwei to eat ashes, or decades later, the people involved in the case file die, and the case files that have lost their intelligence value will be destroyed in a centralized manner.
But once something happens, these inconspicuous pieces of information will be of great use after being pulled out of the case file.
Cao Shaoqin's gaze swept over the people who had close contacts with Chen Kai and Xu Cheng recorded in the dossier, and the vermilion brush in his hand kept sketching on the dossier.
Sweeping the file, Cao Shaoqin handed the file to Yang Zhi on the side and said, "Lord Yang might as well take a look." ”
Yang Zhi took the file, his eyes swept over the names circled by Cao Shaoqin on the file, and took a cursory look, there were nearly 100 people.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Yang Zhi sneered and said, "It's better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to miss one, and bring them to interrogation first." ”
Everyone knows that this incident has excited the Son of Heaven, and I don't know how many people are going to lose their heads because of this, so Yang Zhi and Cao Shaoqin know very well in their hearts that what they want to do is to dig out Xu Ying, Chen Kai and their comrades as quickly as possible, even if many people may suffer unjustified disasters in the process.
Even Lin Chong and Xu Ning didn't open their mouths to persuade at this time, maybe if other people were involved, would they arrest suspicious people so aggressively, but who let this incident directly involve Chu Yi.
It can be said that the foundation of their foothold in Daming is Chu Yi, and if someone wants to target Chu Yi, that is, they want to target them, otherwise Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, and Xu Ning would not be so angry.
"Arrest someone!"
With Cao Shaoqin and Yang Zhi and others unifying their opinions, it means that the East Factory has unified their opinions, with an order, a team of East Factory fans rushed out of the East Factory across horses, and a team of fans rushed to the mansions everywhere with the heads of the big and small stalls.
At the same time as Dongchang took action, Jinyiwei also started to act, whether it was Yue Buqun or Fang La, Fang Jie and others who went to Jinyiwei to increase Jinyiwei's strength.
It was just over an hour, and those officials who had just returned home from the upper and lower dynasties of the Great Dynasty found a team of Jinyi guards and Dongchang Fanzi running around on the long street.
The doors of the mansions were smashed open in a panic in the mansion, and the fierce Dongchang Fanzi or Jinyi Wei rushed into the mansion like a wolf and a tiger to take people.
Zhao Xiong hurried back to his mansion all the way, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.
Standing in front of the desk, Zhao Xiong pushed the desk, only to hear a squeaky sound, and saw the ground slide open to reveal a hole, Zhao Xiong walked into the hole, and it was a secret room that was not big or small.
In the secret room is an ancestral hall, in which tablets are enshrined.
Zhao Xiong puffed and knelt down in front of the incense case, looked at the tablet in the middle, and said with infinite hatred in his eyes: "Grandfather is above, grandson is incompetent, he has not been able to bring down Chu Yi's traitor, may grandfather be in the spirit of heaven and bless his grandson to survive this catastrophe ......"
Zhao Xiong's grandfather was an official who was killed by Chu Yi in the past, to be precise, Dongchang found evidence of corruption and bribery during his tenure, so that he was dismissed and beheaded.
Zhao Xiong, who was born in a family of eunuchs, was instilled with hatred for Chu Yi by his father who was demoted to a commoner since he was a child, and later Zhao Xiong entered the court by his own efforts, and gradually made friends with a group of people who hated Chu Yi like him.
I'm afraid it's impossible for Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao to think that for such a long time, there are still people who are afraid that Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao can't even think of it, and for such a long time, there are still people who are afraid that Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao can't even think that there are still people for such a long time
