The carriage rolled past, even if he had already been mentally prepared, but everywhere he passed, those happy people could be seen chanting Chu Yi's name almost everywhere.

It can be seen that Chu Yi is really shocked by the battle this time.

These people, regardless of whether Chu Yi was an internal servant or not, especially these people who had felt the threat of the Tatar alien race, they really admired Chu Yi's military exploits.

Chu Yi broke through the Tatars in a battle, destroyed 200,000 Tatar elites, and captured alive Dayan Khan and other tyrants on the steppe.

This is like the lord of a country being captured alive, you can imagine how huge the sensation caused by Chu Yi this time.

"Crowned king?"

In a mansion, Fang Yuanli, who was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was quickly full of consternation, it was really the news that the Son of Heaven wanted to crown Chu Yi as the king, and all the civil and military officials were shocked.

This time Chu Yi's exploits are indeed rare in a hundred years, and it is reasonable for Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, to reward Chu Yi generously, and the key is that Zhu Houzhao actually wants to crown Chu Yi as the king, which makes these officials a little unacceptable.

Fang Yuanli frowned and looked at the servant in front of him and said: "Where did you hear the rumors, it's simply ridiculous, since the founding of the country, my Ming Dynasty has never rewarded a king with a different surname since Taizu, even if he Chu Yi is highly meritorious, it is impossible to be crowned a king!" ”

The servant couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Master, the villain didn't hear it wrong, now the word has spread in the city, it is said that after those adults came out of the palace, it came out of the mouths of several adults, such a big thing, if it is not true, I am afraid it will not be possible to spread so quickly." ”

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuanli didn't believe it anyway, but Fang Yuanli was also a little worried in his heart, their sense of existence among the six departments of the imperial court was really low.

However, regardless of whether Chu Yi is crowned king this time, then it must be impossible to bypass the Ministry of Rites.

After all, when the Son of Heaven rewarded Chu Yi, it would inevitably be handled by their Ministry of Rites, so the Ministry of Rites was definitely a department that could not be bypassed.

"When the old man goes to see Chen Dingge, the old man doesn't believe that the Son of Heaven will agree to such a ridiculous thing."

There are many officials in the capital, and although many officials don't say it, they don't have any opinions about Chu Yi in their hearts.

The killing created by Chu Yi was too prosperous, and many enemies were formed invisibly, and these people were forced by Chu Yi's obscenity, so they naturally did not dare to make any moves on weekdays.

But this time, after the news came out that the Son of Heaven was going to crown Chu Yi as king, these people seemed to have the intention of gathering together and adding fuel to the fire.

In a mansion, several officials who had gathered together after receiving the news were discussing secretly in the study at the moment.

These people are not high-ranking officials in the court, but they are not unknown, the official position is not big or small, but it is indispensable, now a few people gathered together, only to hear one of them stroked his beard and said: "Everyone, the news is almost confirmed, Your Majesty does have the intention of sealing Chu Yi as the king, and the opportunity I am waiting for has come!" ”

An official glanced at the official and said, "What Lord Liu said is very true, this time the Son of Heaven named Chu Yi as the king, which is a great opportunity for us to wait." ”

The official wearing a green shirt and brushing his beard showed a strange look in his eyes and said: "If you want to target Chu Yi, you must divide the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi, and it is impossible for us to target Chu Yi head-on, so this time Chu Yi is the king of our opportunity, so no matter what, we must hold Chu Yi high, and we must ask the Son of Heaven to crown Chu Yi as the king!" ”

An official's eyes were full of certainty and said: "How much the Son of Heaven believes in Chu Yi today, then how much he hates Chu Yi in the future, the more powerful Chu Yi is, the higher his status, the closer the day when the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi turn his face!" ”

These officials, who had a grudge against Chu Yi in their hearts, contacted each other through various channels and made up their minds to put Chu Yi on the throne no matter what.

There are also some officials who have been on such a big ship as Chu Yi with Chu Yi's imprints, they can have today, all because of Chu Yi, if there is no Chu Yi's protection, they are afraid that they will not have today's powerful position.

Because of this, these officials were full of horror when they heard the news.

These officials naturally knew the danger of Chu Yi's crown, so some officials who were attached to Chu Yi rushed to Jiao Fang's mansion in a hurry.

In Jiao Fang's mansion, this is not the first wave of people to arrive, in less than half a day, several waves of officials have entered Jiao Fang's mansion.

In Jiao Fang's mansion, in the huge living room, more than a dozen officials looked sad one by one, everyone look at me, I look at you, and they naturally know the purpose of the other party's coming to Jiao Fang's mansion.

Jiao Fang walked into the living room, and a group of officials hurriedly got up to greet Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang motioned for everyone to sit down, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup in one hand and said slowly: "Everyone, I came to see the old man today, but is there anything important?" ”

An official got up and said to Jiao Fang: "Elder Jiao, even if we don't say the purpose of coming this time, we should know it if we want to come to Elder Ge." ”

An official on the side took a deep breath and begged: "It is rumored in Beijing that Your Majesty wants to crown the chief administrator as the king, we don't know whether this news is true or false, so I specially came to see Jiao Ge Lao, and asked Jiao Ge Lao to solve our doubts!" ”

As a representative figure of Chu Yi's family, Jiao Fang can be said to be the backbone of the crowd, this time it was rumored that Chu Yi was crowned king in Beijing, such a major matter, but these officials who are attached to Chu Yi couldn't be more concerned.

The eyes of more than a dozen officials fell on Jiao Fang in unison, only to see Jiao Fang slowly put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he sighed in his heart.

These people were obviously aware of the harm of Chu Yi being crowned king, so they came to ask to see him, originally according to his intentions, like everyone else, they did not agree with Chu Yi being crowned king, but the Son of Heaven obviously paid attention, and all he could do was to obey the will of the Son of Heaven and minimize the impact and harm to Chu Yi.

I only heard Jiao Fang slowly speak: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, and he will be crowned the chief manager as the king on the day when the chief manager returns to the court!" ”

An official almost instinctively said: "Confused, the elder is confused, Your Majesty doesn't know what's at stake, doesn't the elder know either?" ”

This official can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the court, so even if he said such a thing in front of Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang would not blame the other party.

Jiao Fang looked at the old man with a wry smile on his face and said, "What An Rangong said is very true, but unfortunately Your Majesty has made up his mind, and the old man really can't persuade him." ”

Everyone look at me, I look at you, and they all sigh.

Even Jiao Fang couldn't dissuade the Son of Heaven, obviously Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind.

Looking at the look of the crowd with depressed expressions, Jiao Fang took a deep breath and said: "You don't have to worry, the chief manager of the king will indeed cause great hidden dangers to the chief manager, but to put it disrespectfully, the chief manager is the inner servant, the inner servant is the king, the royal inheritance, starting from the chief manager, ending with the chief manager, Your Majesty is wise and magnanimous, I can think of the harm of the king, can't Your Majesty think of it?" ”

Hearing Jiao Fang say this, many people were stunned, and their faces showed a bit of abruptness.

To be honest, these people have almost forgotten Chu Yi's origin, and everyone doesn't even regard Chu Yi as a eunuch.

Think about what Chu Yi has done over the years, and what kind of eunuchs can do, not to mention the humiliating heroes of the world such as quelling the rebellion of King Ning, destroying hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops in one war, and capturing Dayan Khan.

If Jiao Fang didn't mention it, they almost forgot that Chu Yi himself was an internal servant.

Many people showed a look of relief on their faces, what they were worried about was nothing more than Chu Yi's high merit, and now that he was crowned king, if he made any more meritorious deeds in the future, the Son of Heaven would not be rewarded, but I was afraid that it would be a disaster.

Often when the merit is high and the reward is not rewarded, it is time to tear the skin and change the dynasty, either the death of the minister or the death of the master.

However, as a eunuch, Chu Yi has no descendants, so naturally there is no change of dynasty or anything, as long as Chu Yi will not pose any threat to Zhu Houzhao's throne, then according to Zhu Houzhao's temperament, it seems that it is not difficult for the monarch and the minister to get along.

Seeing the reactions of the crowd in his eyes, Jiao Fang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, since Your Majesty wants to crown the chief steward as the king, we can't persuade him, but it is better to think about how to make up for it, even if the chief steward is crowned king, we must minimize its harm." ”

Although Chu Yi was not in Jingshi, Jingshi fell into a boiling because of it.

In Xuanfu City, nearly ten days have passed since the capture of more than 100,000 Tatar troops, and in these days, Xuanfu City is also a boiling scene, but nearly ten days have passed, even if it was so excited at the beginning, now the entire Xuanfu City has returned to calm.

In the palace, Chu Yi looked at the officials below, among them Yang Yiqing, the governor of the five sides, and below were the officials of the Xuanfu and even the generals in the army.

Looking at these people, Chu Yi looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Governor Yang, I don't know when I can leave to return to Beijing?" ”

Chu Yi had already handed over all the military affairs to Yang Yiqing to deal with, so he was only waiting for Yang Yiqing's results.

Involving nearly 200,000 troops, and more than 100,000 prisoners, plus the big and small things in Xuanfu City, if this were an ordinary official, I am afraid that he would have been driven crazy by such a busy government and even military affairs, but Yang Yiqing did not seem flustered at all when he handled so many affairs.

Yang Yiqing has the talent to enter and exit the phase, so Chu Yi handed over so many things to Yang Yiqing to handle, and he was not worried that Yang Yiqing would not be able to deal with it.

I only heard Yang Yiqing bow to Chu Yi and said: "Go back to the chief manager, everything is ready, just wait for the chief manager to give an order, we can set off and return to Beijing!" ”

Everyone knows that they have made such great contributions this time, and once they return to Beijing, then the court and the Son of Heaven will definitely reward them.

Many of the generals present who had made meritorious contributions in the war couldn't help but show excitement on their faces when they heard this.

They are a little tired of staying in this Xuanfu, and they can't wait to return to the capital one by one, just waiting for the reward from the Son of Heaven.

A bright light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, his gaze swept over the crowd, and he only heard Chu Yi say: "In this case, we will set off tomorrow and return to the capital division!" ”

"Obey the orders of the Grand Governor!"

Nearly 200,000 troops plus more than 100,000 Tatar prisoners, the vast contingent of hundreds of thousands went straight to the direction of the capital.

Hundreds of thousands of horses stretched for more than ten miles, and there was no end in sight of the black oppression, and when the vanguard of the army had arrived more than ten miles away, the army in the rear had just left the city.

With so many people hurrying away, the speed is naturally very slow, and at this speed, I am afraid that it will take nearly a month to reach Jingshi.

Although this speed is very slow, even if you want to speed up, you can't do it, and there are nearly 100,000 Tatar captives in the army.

The hundreds of thousands of Tatar prisoners was not a small number, and Yang Yiqing even dispatched a full 50,000 troops to guard the Tatar prisoners.

Smoke and dust billowed on the official road, and everywhere it passed, a carriage that was not too noticeable creaked and slowly moved forward.

If you don't know, you can't believe it, Chu Yi walked with the army in such a carriage.

In the carriage, Chu Yi sat upright, holding a scroll of classics in his hand and was looking at it attentively, and soon saw a rush of footsteps stop beside the carriage.

"Boss, there's news from the East Factory!"

Chu Yi sat there steadily, without raising his head, and said calmly: "What's the news?" ”

I saw that Yue Buqun took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lin Pingzhi at the door of the carriage, and then Lin Pingzhi handed it to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi only glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly, this letter was sent by Jiao Fang from the channel of the East Factory, so the channel of the East Factory was very fast, otherwise this secret letter would not have arrived in Chu Yi's hands so quickly.

Chu Yi finished reading the content of the letter, and there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sitting opposite Chu Yi was Yang Yiqing, who looked indifferent, Yang Yiqing was very curious and surprised by the letter in Chu Yi's hand, but Yang Yiqing would not take the initiative to ask even if he was curious.

However, at the same time that Yang Yiqing guessed in his heart, Chu Yi handed over the letter to Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but be stunned, but after reacting, Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and took the letter out of Chu Yi's hand, his eyes fell on the letter, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he actually wants to crown the chief steward as king! ”

No wonder Yang Yiqing was so shocked, obviously even Yang Yiqing and other outstanding beings subconsciously rejected the king with a different surname in his heart, otherwise Yang Yiqing would not have such a big reaction.

On the contrary, Chu Yi seemed very calm, as if the matter of sealing the king mentioned in Jiao Fang's letter was not a big deal at all.
