Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Gu Da carefully picked up the scroll smashed by Zhu Houzhao, walked up to Zhu Houzhao, picked up the table that had been kicked over, and then picked up the pieces that were scattered all over the ground one by one.

As a close attendant who has served Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years, others do not know the temper of the Son of Heaven, and if Gu Dayong is not clear, I am afraid it is impossible to serve by the side of the Son of Heaven for so many years.

Although Gu Dayong has never seen such an angry situation as he is now, but with his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, Gu Da understands in his heart that Zhu Houzhao is angry at this time, and it can be said that even if he opens his mouth to persuade him, it may not have any effect, and he will be driven out by Zhu Houzhao like those inner servants kneeling outside the door.

If there are no outsiders, then that's fine, there are a few waiters kneeling outside the key door, and if you let those waiters see your embarrassed side, what face do you have.

Therefore, when he entered the imperial study, Gu Da tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, cautiously, for fear that his actions would attract Zhu Houzhao's anger and become the object of Zhu Houzhao's venting.

When Gu Dayong picked up those pieces and put them back neatly, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally angry and depressed in his heart, was almost venting, and when he came back to his senses and saw Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao naturally thought of Chu Yi.

Looking at Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "Gu Daban, why did you say that Chu Daban suddenly resigned from me, could it be that I did something wrong and made Chu Daban angry?" ”

Suppressing the envy and jealousy in his heart, Gu Da opened his mouth with a hesitant look and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old slave, this may be a means of Chief Chu, after all, those courtiers are clearly aimed at Chief Chu, so Chief Chu may not be retreating as advance......"

"Impossible!"

Without waiting for Gu Dayong to finish speaking, Zhu Houzhao said with great certainty: "The eldest companion is not playing any means of retreating as advancement, if it is really a means to target the courtiers, then it is okay, the key companion really wants to resign!" ”

This point does not need to be said by the Son of Heaven, in fact, Gu Dayong can also see that he and Chu Yi have known each other for more than ten years, and they still know each other a little bit about each other's temperament.

Chu Yi has always done what he said and has no regrets, since he resigned in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, it means that Chu Yi is not joking, but really wants to resign.

Although Gu Dayong was a little confused about Chu Yi's sudden resignation, he couldn't figure out what Chu Yi was trying to do, but Gu Da was very surprised in his heart.

He thought about how to deal with Chu Yi, but Chu Yi himself took the initiative to resign, how not to make Gu Dayong overjoyed.

Of course, when facing the Son of Heaven, Gu Dayong naturally couldn't reveal the emotions in his heart, and at this moment, he looked at Zhu Houzhao with a confused look on his face and said: "The old slave is stupid, I really can't understand why Chu Yi suddenly resigned, you must know that he is now above ten thousand people under one person, and his status is extremely respectful......

Hammering the table suddenly, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "No, I must go to see the big companion, if I don't figure out what the big companion means, I can't feel at ease for a moment." ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Daban, you arrange it immediately, I want to leave the palace." ”

Gu Dayong was slightly stunned, looked at the sky outside, and said: "Your Majesty, the sky outside has changed suddenly, the dark clouds are overwhelming, and seeing that a heavy rainstorm is about to break out, if Your Majesty goes out at this time, I am afraid that before I leave the palace, the downpour will fall......"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly got up and said: "It seems that no one is willing to listen to my words, since this is the case, I will go by myself." ”

Gu Dayong's expression changed when he heard this, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao with a puff and said, "The old slave will arrange it, and this will arrange it......"

Gu Dayong didn't dare to accept Zhu Houzhao's words, you must know that once those words were spread, even he would not be able to bear it.

Soon Tianzi Luan drove out of the imperial study and went straight to the direction of the gate of the Forbidden City.

At this time, the cold wind was blowing, the black clouds were rolling, and the sound of thunder came from far and near, and it was early in the morning, but the sky was dark, as if night was coming.

Click, click, dazzling lightning pierced the sky, and then I saw bean-sized raindrops swept in the wind.

There was a crackling sound, and in the blink of an eye, the torrential rain poured down, and there was no other scene between heaven and earth except for a vast heavy rain.

It's like a rain curtain formed by a downpour that obscures everything, and a few feet away is a blur, especially when the wind blows, and the drops of rain hitting the face are painful.

In the strong wind, Tianzi Luan's driving was shaking, but Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on top of Luan's driving, was invaded by the torrential rain at this time, and his regular clothes were wet in the blink of an eye.

Gu Dayong looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was invaded by the heavy rain, and couldn't help but step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this rain is really too big, why don't you hide first, and wait until the heavy rain stops, let's go out of the palace again......"

In the wind and rain, Zhu Houzhao was wet in his usual clothes, and water droplets rolled down his cheeks, and he saw Zhu Houzhao glance at Gu Dayong with a calm expression, and there was no slightest wave in his eyes, but Gu Da was shocked when he saw it.

Gu Dayong, who was terrified in his heart, hurriedly lowered his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, and screamed at the guards who were carrying Luan: "A group of waste, haven't you eaten enough, don't you hurry up, haven't you seen Your Majesty drenched in heavy rain, if Your Majesty is cold because of this, be careful about your heads!" ”

A group of guards hurriedly sped up, and a Luan driver left the Forbidden City in the wind and rain and went straight to Chu Yi's Nawu Palace.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven personally ordered Chu Yi to build the Wuwang Mansion on the edge of the Forbidden City, so he said that the distance between the Forbidden City and the Wuwang Mansion was only a mile.

After Chu Yi went down to the court, accompanied by Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang and others, he returned to the Wuwang Mansion.

Whether it is Wang Shouren or Jiao Fang, they don't understand why Chu Yi resigned to the Son of Heaven, after all, now their department is called the eunuch party outside, just by hearing the name, they know that Chu Yi is definitely the core of this department, if there is no Chu Yi, then this department has no need and value to exist.

Now that Chu Yi has resigned, without Chu Yi as the core, as the backbone of the eunuch party, Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang and others are naturally a little worried.

Looking at Chu Yi, Wang Shouren looked at Chu Yi with a solemn expression and said, "Chief Manager, with your knowledge, even if I don't wait, I am afraid that you should understand in your heart that once you resign at this time, I am afraid that this good situation that has only appeared with great difficulty will disappear." ”

Jiao Fang said with a worried face: "Yes, boss, do you want to watch and your hard work go to waste?" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly and looked at a few people: "Isn't there still you?" Even if I am missing, this court can't be chaotic, and this world is still the world of the Ming Dynasty......"

Wang Shouren frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Why should the chief manager bother to talk about him, could it be that the chief manager seems to be afraid of those slanderous attacks above the court?" ”

The only thing that everyone could think of was that Chu Yi's move was because of the attack of a group of officials above the court, after all, Chu Yi was so powerful that even fools could see it, if this was replaced by some suspicious emperors, with Chu Yi in power, I am afraid that it would not end well.

It's just that everyone doesn't want to believe that Chu Yi will be afraid of the attacks of these officials, the relationship between Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven and the situation of the monarch and the ministers, they can see it clearly, if Zhu Houzhao is suspicious and jealous of Chu Yi's power, this is unlikely.

It is obviously impossible for Chu Yi to tell everyone the real reason for his resignation, otherwise, once everyone knows that he is leaving, it will really be a big mess.

Coughing lightly, Chu Yi sighed slightly, and had to take out another reply that he had thought of to deal with the crowd and said, "Everyone, Chu Mou will retreat to the background sooner or later, this country is His Majesty's country after all, and there is only one supreme above the court, as the so-called heaven has no two days and no two lords of the people, Chu Mou's withdrawal, whether it is for Your Majesty, or for Chu Mou and even all of you, there is only benefit and no harm." ”

Chu Yi's explanation is to grasp the common psychology of everyone, the merit is high and the lord is the taboo that everyone knows, how can Chu Yi's current power be described by the lord of merit, it is much stronger than the lord of merit, after all, Chu Yi can even abolish the position of the Son of Heaven, everyone subconsciously avoids this point on weekdays, but at this time, it was pointed out by Chu Yi.

Even like Wang Shouren, after listening to Chu Yi's words, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

In fact, how do you not know this in your heart, but everyone is subconsciously avoiding this point, after all, Da Ming is thriving right now, if it falls short because of Chu Yi, such a good situation is lost, this is what none of them want to see.

Looking at Chu Yi, Wang Shouren and the others looked a little complicated, according to what Chu Yi said, Chu Yi's choice to retreat bravely at this time is indeed the way to protect himself, after all, they also know that the struggle for power is the most cruel and ruthless, since ancient times, for the struggle for the power of the emperor, the son kills the father, the father kills the son, and the tragedy of brother cannibalism has been staged I don't know how many times, don't look at Chu Yi's harmonious relationship with the Son of Heaven at the moment, but who dares to guarantee that there will be no conflict between the two because of power in the future, after all, the power is moving.

There was a loud bang, black clouds rolled outside, and heavy rain poured down, but there was silence in this living room, whether it was Wang Shouren or Jiao Fang, or Yang Yiqing, they didn't know how to persuade Chu Yi for a while.

After all, if they persuaded Chu Yi, then one day once Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao fell out of harmony, whether Chu Yi was killed by the Son of Heaven or the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Chu Yi, it was not a situation they were willing to see.

At the gate of King Wu's Mansion, a Luan driver stopped, and dozens of guards, including Zhu Houzhao on top of Luan, were all drenched in heavy rain one by one, looking very embarrassed.
