As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and his gaze swept over the bodies of the attendants: "I know that you are very close to Gu Daban on weekdays, but the recent events are just in the ears of you, if someone spreads it, no matter who spreads it, I will execute you and others together!" ”

Puff, puff

Immediately, I saw that the attendants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with pale faces, and said to Zhu Houzhao in a trembling voice: "The slaves and maids are as tight-lipped as bottles, and they don't dare to say anything about the third person." ”

Flicking his sleeves, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "I don't want to kill, but it doesn't mean that I won't kill!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said to the waiter: "Don't go yet!" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly trotted away.

In the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but rub his forehead, obviously Jiao Fang's words still caused a great impact in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

There is a saying that love is deep, responsibility is earnest, there is a precedent of Chu Yi in front, and he is also one of the most trusted servants around him, although Zhu Houzhao never thought that there was a second person in this world who could be like Chu Yi, and he did not ask Gu Dayong to be like Chu Yi, but at least he had to be able to match Chu Yi's a few percent.

However, he didn't wait for Gu Dayong to make any achievements, but waited for Gu Dayong's guilt.

Emotionally, Zhu Houzhao is naturally unwilling to accept Gu Dayong's guilt, but from the perspective of his intellect as the Son of Heaven, Zhu Houzhao knows one thing, that is, he must pay attention to Jiao Fang's impeachment of Gu Dayong.

When Chu Yi was in power, he naturally catered to the holy will of the Son of Heaven, and he was obedient to Chu Yi, even more like Chu Yi's diehard loyalty than many eunuchs.

But after Chu Yi resigned, Qian Ning immediately opened up the distance between him and Jiao Fang and Wang Shouren, Chu Yi's henchmen, and made it clear that he only obeyed the orders of the Son of Heaven, and even for Gu Dayong's wooing, Qian Ning was all false and wrong, kept his duty, and did not have any closeness with Gu Dayong.

Dongchang is clearly Chu Yi's self-reserved land, even after Chu Yi resigned, Dongchang still stands on the side of Jiao Fang, the former Chu Yi's henchmen.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to check the details about Gu Dayong, as an emperor, Zhu Houzhao's first thought was the West Factory, not the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

The West Factory was originally under the command of Gu Dayong, but later Yuhuatian was valued by the Son of Heaven, and Gu Dayong had no control over the West Factory, so the West Factory was completely under the control of Yuhuatian.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, both the East Factory and Jinyiwei may be biased in the matter of secretly investigating Gu Dayong, but only the West Factory is different.

The West Factory could be regarded as Gu Dayong's subordinate in the past, so Zhu Houzhao chose the West Factory, but he wanted to see what the results of the West Factory's investigation were.

The Heavenly Master Zhang Yanxiao on the side looked calm at this time, even if there was a storm in his heart, but as a Taoist master, at least this appearance on the surface still has to be made, otherwise, wouldn't he lose his identity.

Zhu Hou glanced at Zhang Yanxiao, noticed Zhang Yanyu's breezy appearance, and couldn't help but boil towards Zhang Yanyu: "Heavenly Master, can you hear the words of Elder Jiao Ge?" ”

With a sigh in his heart, Zhang Yanyu kept praying in his heart that Zhu Houzhao would not notice him, but he didn't expect him to make such a breezy appearance but it would attract Zhu Houzhao's attention.

is the so-called fear of what comes, but he can hear it clearly, Jiao Fang made it clear that he was impeaching Gu Dayong in front of the emperor, one is the head of the cabinet, and the other is the chief supervisor of ceremonies, which can be said to be the two giant-level figures above the Ming Dynasty today.

The infighting between existences at this level, even the Heavenly Master's Mansion is unwilling to be involved.

But at this time, the Son of Heaven spoke, Zhang Yanlu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, shook the dust in his hand, and said to Zhu Houzhao with a calm look on his face: "Poor Dao is a person outside the party, and the affairs of the court are not easy to intervene!" ”

As the Heavenly Master of the Ming Dynasty, the Heavenly Master's Mansion has always been close to the royal family, but the Zhang family of the Heavenly Master's Mansion can be inherited for thousands of years and is valued by the royal families of all dynasties, precisely because the Zhang family of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has its own set of ways of life.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion has never been involved in the court fight, does not discuss the government, and does not evaluate any officials above the court, so that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is harmless to the officials above and below the court, and one more friend is better than one more enemy.

This will make the Son of Heaven open his mouth to ask Zhang Yanyu, and Zhang Yanyu naturally did not dare to get involved in the battle between the two bigwigs above the court, so he directly offered their signboards.

As an outsider, he ignores Hongchen's affairs.

Just this excuse is enough to make the Son of Heaven unable to continue to ask, after all, as long as it is not a mediocre monarch, he will not want to see religion interfere in the affairs of the court, whether it is Buddha or Tao, as the Son of Heaven, he does not want to see these two families involved too deeply with the court officials.

Hearing Zhang Yanxiao say this, Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, and after reacting, he thought of Zhang Yanxiao's identity, bowed his head slightly, but did not ask Zhang Yanyu again.

Zhang Yanxiao, who was secretly relieved, prayed in his heart that Yuhuatian, the overseer of the West Factory, could come over earlier.

After the tea effort, I saw a figure coming quickly, and the person who came was dressed in a gorgeous robe, which was also a gorgeous costume on Chu Yi, giving people a sense of grandeur, but wearing it on Yuhuatian, it gave people a sense of femininity.

As the overseer of the West Factory, although Yu Huatian has no influence above the court, as the person in charge of one of the three major intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty, few people are willing to offend the overseer of the West Factory.

"Slave Yuhuatian, meet Your Majesty!"

Glancing at Yuhuatian, Zhu Houzhao flicked his hand slightly and said, "Don't be formal, get up and talk!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuhuatian thanked the Son of Heaven, got up and bowed his head slightly, and said with a respectful look: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the slaves and maids to come." ”

On the way here, Yu Huatian wanted to extract some information from the mouth of the servant who passed the decree, but unfortunately the waiter was ordered by the Son of Heaven to be sealed, so naturally he did not dare to leak any news, so Yu Huatian didn't know why the Son of Heaven suddenly called him here.

You must know that both the East Factory and Jinyiwei have a higher status in the minds of the Son of Heaven than their West Factory, after all, the East Factory is Chu Yi's direct subordinate, and Jinyiwei is directly responsible for the Son of Heaven, but the relationship between his West Factory and the Son of Heaven is a little farther away, so if there is usually something, the Son of Heaven will rarely think of their West Factory.

However, this time Yu Huatian was surprised to find that he did not see Cao Shaoqin and Qian Ning, the two competitors, which meant that the Son of Heaven summoned him alone, and the faint Yu Huatian was a little excited and looking forward to it.

How long has it been since this happened, how long has it been since the West Factory has handled the case and taken people, and if it continues like this, I may not know when the West Factory will be canceled.

You must know that the call to ban the West Factory has always existed, and if it were not for the insistence of the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi, the West Factory might have been forced to cancel under the pressure of the Korean Chinese Army.

As the overseer of the West Factory, compared to the famous East Factory and Jinyiwei, the presence of the West Factory is about to be gone, if he is summoned today, it would be strange if Yu Huatian was not excited in his heart.

Glancing at Yuhuatian, Zhu Houzhao just said slowly: "Yuhuatian, can I believe you?" ”

With a pop, Yuhuatian immediately knelt in front of the Son of Heaven and said piously: "The slave is willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "I want you to check someone!" ”

A bright light flashed in Yu Huatian's eyes, and the names of several people suddenly appeared in his mind, Chu Yi, Jiao Fang, Gu Dayong, Zhang Mao and several others who could be called a few people who would be shocked three times when they stomped their feet above the court.

Looking up at Zhu Houzhao, Yuhuatian did not hesitate at all and said, "The slave will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "You don't ask, who did I ask you to check?" ”

Yu Huatian said categorically: "The West Factory is His Majesty's West Factory, and the slave and maid are the overseers of the West Factory who His Majesty has accepted. ”

It could be seen that Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with Yuhuatian's reply, and said with a slight bow: "Give me to check Gu Dayong, I want to know everything about Gu Dayong." ”

There was a sigh in his heart, and then Yuhuatian was overjoyed, and bowed respectfully: "The slave and maid take the order!" ”

In order to win the attention of the Son of Heaven, Yuhuatian has been psychologically prepared, even if Zhu Houzhao asks him to check Chu Yi, he will not hesitate to accept the order, if the son asks him to check Yuhuatian today, compared to going to check Chu Yi, the pressure will naturally be greatly reduced.

If it is really for him to check Chu Yi, to be honest, Yuhuatian is really under great pressure, but if he goes to check Gu Dada, where can Yuhuatian compare with Chu Yi.

Others may not know about Gu Dayong, but as the overseer of the West Factory, he also controls the West Factory, even if the West Factory is not taken seriously, it is also one of the three major intelligence departments of the Ming Dynasty, so Yu Huatian still has heard of some of Gu Dayong's secrets.

It is precisely because he knows some things about Gu Dayong that Yuhuatian is more at ease.

Let him check Chu Yi's words, he is not sure, after all, if he wants to find out Chu Yi's problem, judging from his style of acting with Chu Yi, it is obviously impossible.

But to investigate the problem of Gu Dayong, it is simply not too simple, just some of the questions he knows about Gu Dayong, as long as he stabs the Son of Heaven here, Gu Dayong's good life is only afraid that it is coming to an end, all the charges add up, I am afraid that Gu Dayong's head may not be able to be saved, even if in the end, the Son of Heaven will leave his life, Gu Dayong will also be abolished, there is no future trouble at all, so Yuhuatian is extremely simple to take the order.

Gu Dayong was in the mansion outside the palace, and a figure was prostrate in front of Gu Dayong, and Gu Dayong was sitting there, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

Under the dim candlelight, it could be seen that there was an attendant kneeling in front of Gu Dayong, who was trembling and lying there trembling at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "Chief Administrator, the slave has already told everything, please ask the Chief Administrator to ......."
