However, Zhu Houzhao's face showed a look of intention after being stunned at first, and in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, it was very suitable for this official to propose to crown Chu Yi as king.

Although it is said that except for the beginning of the founding of the country, there were kings with different surnames, and later, non-clans could not be crowned kings, even when they became ancestors, at most they were crowned a few princes.

All dynasties, unless it is the end of the dynasty, but all the prosperous dynasties will not easily take the position of prince, really when the position of the prince is overflowing, it is also a time when the dynasty is about to fall.

Da Ming is now under Chu Yi's rectification, but there are signs of prosperity, and the throne is not something that can be rewarded casually.

At least from the beginning, even Zhu Houzhao didn't think about rewarding Chu Yi, not that Zhu Houzhao didn't want to, but everyone subconsciously avoided the fact that he was crowned king with a different surname.

For a dynasty, a king with a different surname is almost a taboo existence, so Zhu Houzhao, who is the Son of Heaven, has never thought of making Chu Yi the king.

But now that it has been mentioned, Zhu Houzhao has naturally reacted, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, with Chu Yi's merits, it is definitely enough to be crowned king, and no one has any reason to refuse.

"If Otomo can be crowned king, I think Otomo will be very happy!"

Such a thought flashed in his heart, and Zhu Houzhao's eyes gradually lit up, and he almost didn't make a decision on the spot.

And Zhu Houzhao's reaction was also seen by everyone, and many officials were still immersed in the proposal to propose Chu Yi to be crowned king.

Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao's look in their eyes, and none of the civil and military ministers present were like human spirits, if they couldn't see that Zhu Houzhao was moved.

Zhang Mao couldn't help frowning, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to dissuade him.

Chu Yi's power has reached its peak now, and it can be said that no one in the world except Zhu Houzhao is as powerful as Chu Yi now.

It can even be said that if Chu Yi is willing, he can even change the world and manipulate the change of the throne.

But power belongs to power, and for Feng Chuyi to be king, it is a bit too much in Zhang Mao's opinion.

Once Chu Yi is crowned king, he will be the first king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years, far surpassing these princes, especially Chu Yi as a eunuch, a eunuch is crowned king, throughout history, it can be described as very few.

Even Tong Guan, who was crowned the king of Guangyang County in the late Northern Song Dynasty, was also because Song Huizong obeyed the fief of those who could restore Yan Land by Shenzong, and rewarded him with the testament of the king.

A eunuch wants to be crowned king, but it is obviously as difficult as ascending to the sky.

There is no convincing credit, but I am afraid that even hundreds of officials will not agree.

However, Chu Yi's exploits, even in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, are impeccable, a battle to quell the rebellion of the king of Jiangnanning, and then destroy 200,000 elites of foreign races in the north, and capture Tatar nobles such as Dayan Khan, these two immortal feats are even enough to leave a name in history, even if it is enough to be crowned a king.

Taking a deep breath, Jiao Fang's heart flashed with all kinds of thoughts, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice about the proposal of the king!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who doesn't know that Jiao Fang is Chu Yi's hand, it can be said that Jiao Fang's ability to sit firmly in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is due to Chu Yi's merits, if there is no Chu Yi, there will be no Jiao Fang today.

In the court, Jiao Fang was obedient to Chu Yi, and he could be described as an out-and-out eunuch leader.

Because of this, no one would have thought that Jiao Fang would stand up and oppose it when someone proposed to make Chu Yi king.

Although Jiao Fang only persuaded the Son of Heaven to think twice, everyone could see that Jiao Fang was opposed to Feng Chuyi as king.

Someone will stand up against it, even Zhu Houzhao will not be surprised by this, after all, the proposal to seal the king is very important, and it would be a strange thing if everyone unanimously agreed.

But it is not surprising that some people oppose Zhu Houzhao, but the first person who surprised him was not someone else, but Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang's reaction made Zhu Houzhao slightly stunned, and looked at Jiao Fang with surprise and puzzlement.

If you want to say that Jiao Fang has any suspicion with Chu Yi, deliberately preventing Chu Yi from becoming the king, I am afraid that no one will believe it, then Jiao Fang must have a reason to stop it.

Zhang Mao looked at Jiao Fang, and a little understanding flashed in his eyes, Zhang Mao was old and sophisticated, and he saw Jiao Fang's intentions just a little bit of a thought.

In the final analysis, Jiao Fang still thinks about Chu Yi, even Zhang Mao can see that Chu Yi's title as king will inevitably set off a huge wave.

Not to mention the rest, the royal clan alone is afraid that it will not be easy to agree, you must know that since the founding of the country, the princes are all exclusive to the clan, and there is almost no one with a different surname as the king, and now he suddenly wants to crown Chu Yi as the king, and it would be strange if the clan and the royal family could agree.

Of course, the royal family is almost raised like pigs, and even if they oppose it, they are at most just verbally shouting.

But in addition to the clan, I believe that there must be a group of old stubborns among the hundred officials who will not agree to the eunuch to be crowned king so easily.

With Zhu Houzhao's favor and trust in Chu Yi, if Chu Yi is crowned king, he may not be the king of the county, and if he is not good, he will be the king of one word.

The dignity of the one-word king can be imagined, and it would be strange if those old stubborns didn't jump out to oppose it.

Zhang Mao couldn't help but look at the official who proposed to make Chu Yi king, if he wasn't sure that this official was also a member of the eunuch faction, Zhang Mao would have wondered if this person was going to kill Chu Yi.

After all, although Chu Yi can now be said to cover the sky with one hand and have a lot of power, this also means that Chu Yi has many enemies, Chu Yi has killed so many people, and I don't know how many powerful people fell directly in Chu Yi's hands.

Although these magnates have fallen, for hundreds of years, a big net has been formed between the magnates through in-laws and other means, and this big net has shrouded the entire Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at Chu Yi now that he is above 10,000 people alone, and he is even more powerful in the court, no one dares to oppose his opinion, but once Chu Yi reveals a little flaw, there will be countless people who will jump out and fall into the well and put Chu Yi to death.

And Chu Yi's title to the king is obviously a breakthrough.

The old and calculating Zhang Mao was even able to think of several ways to calculate Chu Yi through Chu Yi as the king.

The simplest thing is to divide the relationship between Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven, they all say that the emperor is ruthless, maybe at the moment Zhu Houzhao has deep feelings for Chu Yi and relies on him incomparably, at this time, Zhu Houzhao will not have the slightest hesitation even if he makes Chu Yi the king.

But who can guarantee that Zhu Houzhao will not have other thoughts about Chu Yi in the future, especially Chu Yi is powerful, and Zhu Houzhao, as an emperor, is not as powerful and prestige as Chu Yi, there may be no problem for a while, but after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhu Houzhao will not have an opinion.

Jiao Fang obviously saw this, no matter whether the official who proposed to make Chu Yi the king wanted to kill Chu Yi or not, anyway, Jiao Fang would deal with it as if he was killing him, and he stood up to dissuade the Son of Heaven as soon as possible.

Everyone looked at Jiao Fang, and a little different color flashed in the eyes of some people, obviously they had already reacted like Zhang Mao.

Some officials who originally wanted to stand up to stop it had a strange look in their eyes, and they didn't know what kind of calculations they were making.

Jiao Fang looked at Zhu Houzhao with a solemn expression and said, "Your Majesty think twice!" ”

was dissuaded by Jiao Fang, Zhu Houzhao was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he really wanted to reward Chu Yi, and promising Chu Yi with the throne was definitely what Zhu Houzhao wanted to see the most.

As a result, other officials have not objected at this time, and Jiao Fang, Chu Yi's biggest supporter, has actually stood up to oppose it, which has to make Zhu Houzhao think about it.

However, Zhu Hou glanced at the officials present, and said slowly: "Let's go back, Chu Daban will be crowned with the king's proposal, tomorrow morning, I hope everyone can have a good discussion!" ”

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao still wants to insist on sealing Chu Yi as the king, since Zhu Houzhao asked everyone to take it out for discussion in the early morning, this shows Zhu Houzhao's attitude.

Just as the officials were leaving, Zhu Houzhao said: "Old Jiao Ge, British Duke, you stay!" ”

The two of them are one literary and one martial, which can be described as an example of civil and military officials, and everyone is not surprised that Zhu Houzhao left the two.

In the imperial study on the edge of the main hall, Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao were waiting in the imperial study.

Jiao Fang looked at Zhang Mao and said, "Old Guogong, wait a minute, please ask Lao Guogong to persuade Your Majesty, otherwise the DPRK and China will inevitably make waves again." ”

Brushing his beard, Zhang Mao said to Jiao Fang: "Why should Jiao Ge Lao stop Your Majesty, in public and private, Chu Yi is the best result." ”

Jiao Fang stared at Zhang Mao and said, "Does the British Duke really think so in his heart?" The power of the chief manager is huge, whether it is the king or not, it will not affect the power of the chief manager, it is nothing more than a false name, but once the king is crowned, it will inevitably provoke the opposition of some people, and the court that has finally stabilized does not know what chaos will cause when the time comes. ”

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and just smiled: "How does the old man agree with it, and how does he oppose it, in the final analysis, what Jiao Ge Lao is worried about is nothing more than that one day, there will be a gap between the chief manager and the Son of Heaven, but this is not something that we can participate in, this is a matter between His Majesty and the chief manager." ”

Zhang Mao made it clear that he wanted to stay out of the matter, Jiao Fang heard what Zhang Mao meant, and sighed lightly in his heart, like an old fox like Zhang Mao, before such a major event, it is not uncommon for Mingzhe to protect himself and stay out of the matter.

Thinking of Zhu Houzhao, the Son of Heaven, Jiao Fang couldn't help but sigh lightly, he could only hope that Chu Yi would be able to persuade the Son of Heaven.

Just as he was thinking about sending someone to summon Chu Yi immediately after leaving the palace, he heard a sound of footsteps.

Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao heard the footsteps, and hurriedly got up and looked towards the door of the imperial study.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who had already changed into a dragon robe, was wearing a dark regular clothes, and the dragon walked over, turned around and sat down, glanced at the two of them, and said with a slight smile: "But there are two Qing families who have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao didn't dare to say anything, and then sat down separately under Zhu Houzhao's signal.

Gu Dayong put the brewed tea for the three of them, Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao nodded to Gu Dayong to express their gratitude, and then Gu Dayong returned to Zhu Houzhao and stood still.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Zhu Hou looked at Jiao Fang and said, "Elder Jiao Ge, I know that you have always been trusted by Chu's companion, why did you dissuade me from making my companion king?" ”

Jiao Fang showed a little wry smile, and saluted to the Son of Heaven and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister is not against His Majesty's reward for the Grand Governor, with the meritorious deeds of the Grand Governor, even if it is really crowned the king, it is not an exaggeration!" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement and said, "Since Elder Jiao Ge also thinks that the merits of the great companion are enough to be crowned king, then why oppose it!" ”

Jiao Fang said with a straight expression: "Your Majesty, although the chief manager has made immortal feats and should be rewarded, he must not be crowned king, otherwise, the chief manager will be hated by others, and the old minister is afraid that someone will want to kill the chief manager!" ”

"Kill?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, as the Son of Heaven, how could he not know what he meant to kill.

If Jiao Fang didn't mention it, Zhu Houzhao really hadn't thought about this, after all, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, with Chu Yi's merits, even if he was crowned a king, it would be a matter of course, so he didn't think about it so much, let alone that someone wanted to kill Chu Yi.

The long officials and horses are fat, the spectators are fast, the passengers are happy, and they are driven endlessly, as for death! The one who kills the king and the horse is beside the road!

With Chu Yi's current position of power, even if someone wants to target Chu Yi, I am afraid that no one will dare to confront Chu Yi directly, and killing is the best choice for those who are dissatisfied with Chu Yi.

But any smart person can see that as Chu Yi's power becomes more and more powerful, and the Son of Heaven gradually grows up, there will inevitably be a conflict between the two at that time.

If Chu Yi takes the initiative to hand over his power, he may be able to start and finish well, if there is a little conflict, it will be a discord between the monarch and the minister, and I don't know what chaos will happen when the time comes.

Zhu Houzhao's face gradually sank, took a deep breath, looked at Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao, and said slowly: "I will never be a big companion in this life!" ”

Both Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao were stunned when they heard this, and they were amazed in their hearts, how could they not hear that Zhu Houzhao's words were from the bottom of their hearts, but from the bottom of their hearts, if it were not from the bottom of their hearts, Zhu Houzhao, as an emperor, would never have said such emotional words.

Looking at Jiao Fang, Zhu Houzhao said solemnly: "I will never have a negative partner, so the boss of Jiao Ge doesn't have to worry about any suspicion between me and my partner, the big companion will calm the rebellion of King Ning for me, consolidate the throne of the emperor, capture Dayan Khan for my Ming Dynasty, and protect my Ming Dynasty forever, such meritorious deeds, I can't repay it, just the throne, what a pity for me!" ”

Jiao Fang sighed lightly in his heart, he never thought that Zhu Houzhao would be so affectionate and sexual, what would happen to Zhu Houzhao in the future Jiao Fang didn't dare to say, at least for now, Zhu Houzhao sealed Chu Yi from the bottom of his heart.

"That's it, since Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart, the old minister will not say more!"

Seeing Jiao Fang change his words, Zhu Houzhao's face showed a little joy, and his eyes fell on Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and said to Zhu Houzhao: "The old minister has no opinion on this, everything is subject to His Majesty's will!" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "I hope that tomorrow morning, the civil and military officials will be able to pass my resolution!" ”

Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao glanced at each other, only to hear Jiao Fang bow down and say, "The ministers should do their best to persuade the officials." ”

Seeing Jiao Fang and Zhang Mao leave, Gu Dayong and Shao Yuanjie were left in the imperial study.

Zhu Houzhao said with a look of disgruntle: "Gu Daban, Shao Zhenren, why do you say that some people always think that one day, I will turn against Chu Daban, am I really such a ruthless person?" ”

Gu Dayong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is broad-minded, and treats slaves and maids with leniency, which is a rare benevolent monarch in all dynasties, the reason why those people think so is that they are clearly living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, why should Your Majesty see it with a group of villains!" ”

Hearing Gu Dayong directly call some officials villains, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing and said: "You old thing dare to say it, you are not afraid that those people will hold grudges against you!" ”

Gu Da said with a look of disdain: "The old slave is loyal to His Majesty, how do those villains look at the slave and the maid, and what does it have to do with the slave and the maid!" ”

And Shao Yuanjie is a light breeze, a look of a master outside the world, noticed Zhu Houzhao's gaze, and heard Shao Yuanjie say: "Although Poor Dao is a person outside the party, he also knows that His Majesty is a generation of benevolent monarchs, and Poor Dao believes that His Majesty and the general manager will be able to start and finish well, leaving a good story of monarchs and ministers." ”

But it was said that Jiao Fang left the palace and returned to the house, and immediately entered the study to write a letter by hand, and then found a confidant and advised: "You quickly send this secret letter to the East Factory, and then ask Lord Cao to quickly send someone to present this secret letter to the general manager!" ”

There are almost no secrets in the officialdom, and the news of Xuanfu's victory has spread, and it can be said that the huge Beijing division was directly blown up by such a news.

With the news of Xuanfu's victory confirmed, the entire capital was in a boiling scene, but the people of the capital did not forget that more than a month ago, the Tatar army besieged the city, and for nearly a month, the entire capital was shrouded in the threat of Tatars.

Therefore, the people of the capital can be said to feel the threat of the Tatars very deeply, but if there is any accident, the Tatar army will have already entered the Beijing division.

When the Tatar army withdrew, the people of Beijing even cheered and firecrackers rang out in celebration.

In everyone's opinion, it is still not easy to be able to repel the Tatars and force the Tatars to retreat, and now suddenly there is a great victory in Xuanfu, and everyone's initial reaction is not to believe it, after all, this result is too unbelievable in everyone's opinion.

However, as the Son of Heaven issued an order to confirm that the victory of Xuanfu was not a lie about the military situation, but a real result, the people of the capital were excited and excited.

Zhang Mao sat on the carriage, and through the raised curtains, he could see the happy faces of the people on the long street.

"Chitose Grand Governor, Chitose Grand Governor!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers, and Zhang Mao couldn't help but look in the direction where the cheers came from, with a somewhat strange look on his face.

Zhang Lun, who was sitting next to Zhang Mao, couldn't help but say to Zhang Mao: "Grandpa, after today, I'm afraid that in this world, there will be no one who can compare with Chu Yi, and Chu Yi's reputation will also reach its peak!" ”

Zhang Mao withdrew his gaze from the outside, looked at Zhang Lun and said slowly: "Lun'er, remember Grandpa's words, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good fortune and misfortune, as the so-called flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days, today he Chu Yi is as high as a flower, but he may not fall into the quagmire in the future, and he is worthless, so Lun'er should respect Chu Yi and stay away!" ”

Zhang Lun nodded approvingly and said to Zhang Mao: "Grandpa's teachings, grandchildren must keep them in mind and dare not forget them!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Lun really wrote it down, Zhang Mao nodded and said: "My British government is in the same vein as the country, and it can maintain its longevity, and it has its own way of life, and Lun'er must remember it!" ”
