Soon, I saw two fans walking over with a box, and said to Chu Yi with a solemn face: "Lord Admiral, I found a box in Prime Minister Zhang's mansion, all of which are secret letters from Zhang Tong's ministers in the court. ”

Zhang, who was sitting opposite Chu Yi, looked at the box calmly, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, the box was indeed something in his Zhang's mansion, but the things in this box were not necessarily.

Fools can guess that this is only a plan to set up a blame, but Zhang has been prepared for this for a long time, if Chu Yi does not use such means, Zhang will feel very disappointed in Chu Yi.

Chu Yi glanced at Zhang with a calm expression and said, "Oh, open it and take a look." ”

With a squeak, the box opened, Chu Yi casually took out one of the letters, then slowly opened one of the letters, raised his eyebrows and said to Zhang: "It seems that Zhang is very dissatisfied with His Majesty." ”

Zhang glanced at it, ten lines at a glance, and in an instant, he read the content of the letter, I have to say that Chu Yi's forged letter is really as if it was true, that is, the first time he saw it, he subconsciously thought that it was the letter he wrote.

Of course, what amazed Zhang was Chu Yi's boldness, in order to find a reason for the Son of Heaven to bring him down, he actually forged letters, and the letters were filled with some dissatisfaction and disrespectful words against the Son of Heaven.

If these words are said lightly, it is disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, but if they are said seriously, it is serious, this is resentment against the Son of Heaven and the intention of rebellion.

"Zhang Xiang, this letter is Zhang Xiang's handwriting?"

Zhang said indifferently: "Lord Admiral said yes, then that's it!" ”

Lin Chong on the side looked at Zhang with a look of surprise on his face, obviously not quite understanding why Zhang would not refute.

Waving his hand, Chu Yi said to the crowd: "Take these things, let's go." ”

Chu Yi got up, bowed to Zhang, and said, "Zhang Xiang, Chu is leaving." ”

Seeing Chu Yi leave, Han Zhongyan, who had never spoken much, couldn't help but have a little sadness in his eyes, and his eyes withdrew from Chu Yi and his party and turned towards Zhang: "Brother Zhang, this person framed you, and he didn't blink his eyes, there are such traitors and eunuchs around the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid it's a curse rather than a blessing." ”

However, Zhang, who stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse is not in this person, but in the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is the monarch of the Holy Ming, then this person is a sharp knife in the hands of the Son of Heaven, cutting through thorns and thorns, invincible, if the Son of Heaven is mediocre, even if there is no Chu Yi, there will be traitors such as Zheng Yi and Zhu Yi." ”

Sighing slightly, Han Zhongyan said: "It's a pity that Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against Brother Zhang, because he was busy fighting for power with the Queen Mother, so he didn't free up his hand to target Brother Zhang, and now the Queen Mother is terminally ill, and the Son of Heaven has enough energy to deal with Brother Zhang......"

Zhang said calmly: "The old man was already destined to have today when he opposed the establishment of the Son of Heaven at the beginning, Chu Yi planted the false accusation, all the Son of Heaven needed was an excuse to belittle me." ”

It was precisely because he realized this that Zhang would be indifferent to Chu Yi's framing, because no matter how he defended himself, it would not have any effect.

On the morning of the second day, Zhao Ji went to the court to listen to the government as usual, and saw an official step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Chu Yi, the governor of Dongchang, and trespassed into the mansion of important ministers of the imperial court. ”

There was an uproar, and several officials jumped out directly, all of whom impeached Chu Yi for trespassing on the minister's mansion.

The reaction of these officials is normal, after all, in the Great Song Dynasty, scholars and doctors shared the world with the royal family, and it can be said that they are not punished by doctors, and they are truly respected.

However, now Chu Yi and his eunuchs can lead people straight to the Prime Minister's mansion in a grand manner, although everyone knows what is going on, but this head cannot be opened, otherwise, their lives will not be so stable in the future.

Suppressing eunuchs and generals is a unified goal in the minds of scholars and doctors, and as long as this is involved, even the opposing sides will remain consistent.

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help frowning, looking at the several officials who impeached Chu Yi, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Chu Yi's actions were all in accordance with his intentions, and now these officials jumped out to oppose it, which in Zhao Ji's opinion was simply aimed at him, the Son of Heaven.

With a squint of his eyes, Zhao Ji had a thought in his heart, I am afraid that these officials are not closely related to the same chapter.

Among these officials who jumped out to impeach Chu Yi, there are indeed people who have close contacts with Zhang, but most of them are actually not for Zhang Yi at all, they are really just targeting Chu Yi, but they don't know that they jumped out at this time and let Zhao Ji label them as Zhang Tong's party in their hearts.

With this label on his body, it can be imagined, but as long as Zhao Ji reigns for a day, there is no hope for the official career of these people.

Coughing lightly, Zhao Ji said in a deep voice, "Spread my will and summon Chu Yi, the prince of Guangyang County, to meet you." ”

Chu Yi had already entered the palace and was waiting for the Son of Heaven to summon him, although he said that he did not have Zhao Ji, but if Zhao Ji did not even have this awareness, then he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the Son of Heaven.

Soon Chu Yi appeared outside the main hall, and a group of civil and military officers in the court subconsciously looked at Chu Yi.

For the sudden rise, first valued by the previous emperor, and then called the current henchman, everyone is really very curious about Chu Yi.

Many officials even saw Chu Yi for the first time, and now when they saw Chu Yi, they all showed surprise.

After all, whether it is appearance or temperament, it looks like Chu Yi is more like a learned Confucian, and he doesn't look like a malevolent eunuch at all.

"Admiral Chu Yi of Dongchang pays a visit."

Zhao Ji waved his hand slightly and said: "The Qing family is exempt from courtesy, but I invited you here to ask you, why did you trespass into Zhang Xiang's mansion yesterday, don't you know my reliance and favor on Zhang Xiang?" ”

Looking at Zhao Ji's posture that he would get angry if Chu Yi couldn't come up with an explanation, the officials who had just impeached Chu Yi couldn't help but show a little satisfaction on their faces.

Chu Yi said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister received a secret report, and Zhang was resentful of His Majesty, and privately colluded with a group of courtiers, and his heart was ......."

"Ridiculous, it's ridiculous, you're framing ......"

Before Chu Yi finished speaking, he heard an official jump out and point at Chu Yi and scold, obviously this person was a supporter of Zhang.

Not only this official, but several other officials also glared at Chu Yi one by one, and they almost beat Chu Yi with their fists.

At this moment, there was an uproar in the court, after all, the gimmick that Chu Yi used as soon as he opened his mouth was really amazing.

Rebellion, Chu Yi actually opened his mouth and pointed directly at Zhang Moumou, once this crime is confirmed, the consequences will be serious, even if the Great Song Dynasty has always had a practice of punishing doctors, but it also depends on what the situation is.

It is not uncommon for the Great Song Dynasty to kill scholars and doctors every year, and once they are convicted, they will still be killed.

Mo said that it was these officials, and Zhao Ji, who had not received the news in advance, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. His biggest goal was to exile Zhang.

Zhang's prestige is very heavy, even if he is not good at what Zhang is, he can exile him, Zhao Ji is very satisfied, now it's good, Chu Yi came up and put such a cannon for him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji looked at Chu Yi and said, "Chu Yi, do you know the seriousness of this matter, if there is no evidence, I will not be spared if I frame the important ministers of the court like this." ”

Chu Yi said calmly: "The minister searched for many letters on the top of Zhang Xiang's mansion, and the content of the letters was quite amazing. ”

Saying that, Chu Yi said in the direction of the main hall: "Come on, bring the evidence." ”

Of course, Zhao Ji is the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't nod, those forbidden troops won't let anyone in.

After Zhao Ji nodded, the forbidden army guarding the main hall was about to get out of the way, and saw Lin Chong and Xu Ning walking into the main hall carrying a box.

Lin Chong was still entering the court for the first time, and the whole person seemed a little uncomfortable, but Xu Ning, because he was on duty in the palace, was very adaptable to the atmosphere in the palace, but he didn't show any nervousness.

The two put the box down, then saluted the Son of Heaven and respectfully stepped aside.

Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to the Son of Heaven, walked down the imperial steps and walked in front of Chu Yi after receiving the signal from the Son of Heaven, and glanced at Chu Yi with a strange expression.

Liang Shicheng will make Chu Yi full of jealousy.

Originally, he was worried that Chu Yi would compete with him for favor, but now he could be sure that Chu Yi was definitely not a peaceful person.

You must know that it is Zhang, fools know that Chu Yi pointed out that Zhang rebelled, it must be framed, the Great Song Dynasty, the system was perfect, and the power held by a single minister like Zhang was quite limited, if he really rebelled, I am afraid that not a single soldier may be able to mobilize.

That's exactly the case, so if you want to say that Zhang rebelled, no one would believe it, but Chu Yi just did it so boldly.

Even Chu Yi, the high-ranking lone minister, dared to frame him, Liang Shicheng really couldn't think of anything else that Chu Yi didn't dare to do.

Carefully took out the stack of letters from the box, and then placed them on the table in front of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji also knew that Zhang's rebellion was nonsense, it must be Chu Yi's frame-up, but what Zhao Ji wanted was an excuse to punish Zhang, and what excuse could compare to the crime of rebellion.

His eyes swept over the open letter, and he saw Zhao Ji slamming the table, and said with an angry expression: "Bold, Zhang, you are guilty!" ”

Standing in the ranks of the courtiers, Zhang stood there as if everything had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, he was directly named by Zhao Ji, and Zhang took a step forward without justifying: "The minister is guilty, but the minister has no intention of rebellion, and please see your majesty." ”

After staring at Zhang for a while, Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "Retreat from the dynasty, Zhang Xiang's rebellion, I will investigate it in detail, and I will never wronged others." ”

With boundless shock, the officials who retired from the court soon spread the word about what was happening in the court.

All of a sudden, the entire Bianjing City was shaken, first of all, Zhang was accused of rebellion, what a sensational news.

I don't know how many people excitedly talked about the rebellion after the shock.

"Impossible, the Zhang family is a famous family, loyal and good from generation to generation, how can there be rebels."

"Zhang Xiang is really wronged, with Zhang's loyalty to the court, no matter who goes to rebel, Zhang Xiang will not rebel."

"I knew that Your Majesty would not tolerate Zhang Xiang, and I never thought that in order to force Zhang Xiang out of the court, Your Majesty and that Chu Yi would slander Zhang Xiang and conspire against him."

Some scholars, especially some of the scholars who voted under Zhangmen, heard the news that Zhang was ordered by his Son of Heaven to be thrown into prison, and one by one they were so angry that they were ready to jointly write to the Son of Heaven to cry out for Zhang.

But at this time, Han Zhongyan stood up and appeased these scholars.

In Han Zhongyan's mansion, several disciples of the Zhang Sect were looking at Han Zhongyan with doubts and anger on their faces at the moment, and one of them said angrily: "Han Xiang, the teacher and you are close friends, how can you sit idly by?" ”

Han Zhongyan raised his head, glanced at a few people lightly, and said, "Tube? Don't you see what Your Majesty meant? His Majesty has been dissatisfied with Brother Zhang for a long time, and sooner or later there will be such a thing, as for the crime of rebellion, it is just a name set up by the Son of Heaven to persecute Brother Zhang. ”

Several scholars were stunned, looked at Han Zhongyan and said, "According to Han Xiang's opinion, will we not do anything?" ”

Han Zhongyan said solemnly: "At this time, doing nothing is much better than your messy mess, if you really sign a joint letter, for Brother Zhang, your actions will only bring a crisis to Brother Zhang, and will not solve the problem at all." ”

Looking at the confused and sluggish appearance of several soldiers, Han Zhongyan crumpled and explained: "Although it is said that the name of rebellion is a false accusation, it is a fact that Brother Zhang is in power, if you disciples of the sect jointly write a book, wouldn't it make the Son of Heaven have any thoughts about Brother Zhang." At that time, I am afraid that the crime of planting false accusations will also become true. ”

In the palace, in the imperial study.

Zhao Ji, whose face was full of joy, looked at Chu Yi and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, Chu Yi, what you did is so good, I didn't expect to be able to charge Zhang An with rebellion." ”

Saying that, Zhao Ji rubbed his hands and said: "This time, I want to see how Zhang still stays in this court." ”

In the imperial study, there were not only Chu Yi, but also Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng.

At this time, Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng looked at Chu Yi, with a deep fear in their eyes, this is a bold and unreasonable master, and even the chapter was deducted by him for a rebellious hat, they really dare not imagine that there is anything else Chu Yi does not dare to do.

Chu Yi looked very calm and low-key and said to Zhao Ji: "The minister is just on the orders of His Majesty to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji was really satisfied with Chu Yi at this time, and said in a deep voice: "I ask you, how do you want me to reward you for your meritorious deeds this time?" ”

Chu Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's reward, the ministers are worthy of it, if Your Majesty insists, then allow some people from the courtiers' army to enter the East Factory." ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Chu Yi, his heart became more and more satisfied, and he nodded: "Whoever the Qing family wants to transfer, you only need to report the list to me." ”

Saying that, Zhao Ji said again: "There are not many establishments in the East Factory, so I will allow you to expand the staff, well, and tentatively set it as a battalion." ”

Chu Yi's eyes lit up, you must know that there are only more than 100 people in the East Factory now, this is still changed on the basis of the Well and Water Affairs Division, and the number of people has been placed by Chu Yi within the scope allowed by the rules.

Now Zhao Ji gave a battalion of five places as soon as he opened his mouth, you must know that according to the military establishment of the Song Dynasty, one capital is one hundred people, and five capitals are one battalion, which is five hundred people.

Compared with the thousands of people under the Imperial City Division, the East Factory is independent of the Imperial City Division, but there is no one to establish the East Factory, which is a hard injury in itself, and it also greatly restricts the expansion of the East Factory.

Imagine, if Chu Yi was able to gather Lu Junyi, Lu Da, Wu Song, Li Jun, Hua Rong, and Yang Zhi under the command of Dongchang, even if there were only five hundred people, they could still reach thousands of troops.

Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing on the side couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this, they wanted to open their mouths to stop it, but they opened their mouths, but they didn't know how to stop it, it was really this and Zhao Ji was in a state of excitement, they opened their mouths to stop at this time, not only did they fail to achieve their goals, but they also made the Son of Heaven disliked.
