Zhu Houzhao sat there, glanced at a few pavilion elders lightly, and said with a slight bow: "How can a few pavilion elders have time to see me, could it be that the affairs of the DPRK and China have been dealt with?" ”

According to Chu Yi's suggestion, Zhu Houzhao only needs to grasp the military power, financial power, and the right to appoint and dismiss officials, and other government affairs are almost handed over to the cabinet.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became much easier, and at the same time, Zhu Houzhao's move to delegate power also made the cabinet elders quite admired.

After all, with Zhu Houzhao's current situation in power, even if Zhu Houzhao wants to take back all the power of the cabinet, it is not a problem.

After all, the emperors of the past dynasties, as long as it is possible, who doesn't want to be in power, and can't wait to take all the power into their own hands.

With Chu Yi as the backing, Zhu Houzhao can completely hold all the rights in his hands like Taizu and Chengzu, but Zhu Houzhao did not do that, but instead delegated more power to the cabinet, which is naturally very happy for the cabinet elders.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's question, several cabinet elders glanced at each other, Jiao Fang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, had to take the initiative to speak at this time.

Hearing Jiao Fang's mouth open to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that Sun Zhong and Han Yi entered the palace to face the saints, lest a few adults have no shelter and anger Your Majesty......"

Zhu Houzhao's expression was calm, and when he heard this, he glanced at a few people and said, "Oh, a few pavilion elders won't think that I will do anything to Han Yi and Sun Zhong!" ”

Coughing lightly, Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on his body and stared at Chen Ding, who was a little embarrassed, and stepped forward and said: "Several pavilion elders were invited by the old ministers, and I also ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins, after all, Han Yi and Sun Zhong have great influence in the court, and the old ministers are really worried that Your Majesty will do something that will hurt Your Majesty's reputation under the anger of the moment!" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "A few pavilion bosses can rest assured, even if I want to dispose of them, I will follow the procedure, and I won't do anything to them in this palace!" ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, several people sighed in their hearts, and at the same time mourned for Han Yi and Sun Zhong, they were on the blacklist of the Son of Heaven.

Looking at the meaning of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that soon the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang will start to investigate their details, and they have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, and Chen Ding has heard more or less about the details of Sun Zhong and Han Yi.

If the DPRK Chinese military officials really want to say that they are as clean as water, I am afraid that they will not be able to find a few people to come out, and who does not have a single stain on them.

Everyone is like this, and no one will take the initiative to attack each other with these stains, but if Jinyiwei and Dongchang really investigate, these stains are enough to make Han Yi, Sun Zhong and others ruined and imprisoned.

However, their trip was not in vain, at least Zhu Houzhao did not send someone to send Han Yan and others directly to prison in the palace without anger.

The Son of Heaven decreed that people should be taken directly and through the formal court procedures, although there is no difference in the result, but the impact is very different.

If you take people directly in the palace, once it spreads, with the reputation of Han officials among hundreds of officials and people from the world, I am afraid that most people will think that the Son of Heaven has wronged Han officials and other elders of several dynasties.

But once a few people are taken down through the formal procedures of the court, the meaning is naturally different, even the civil and military officials and the world's scholars can't find anything wrong, and they can't blame the Son of Heaven.

Coughing lightly, Zhu Hou looked at Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing: "Jin Guogong, An Guogong, how is the investigation of the case of assassinating Chu, have you ever found out the main messenger?" ”

Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing glanced at each other, as the person in charge of this case, Wang Shouren stepped forward and saluted to the Son of Heaven and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, although it is said that a group of officials involved in this case have been found, but they have not been able to find the main messenger!" ”

Although Zhu Houzhao said that he had been staring at this case, in Zhu Houzhao's mind, there were Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Wang Shouren personally supervising it, and it was right that it should be investigated at this time.

But listening to Wang Shouren's meaning, it seems that he didn't find the main messenger behind the scenes, thinking that he would be able to see Chu Yi tomorrow at most, but he was ready to help Chu Yi get angry when the time came, Wang Shouren actually told him now that he couldn't find the main messenger behind the scenes, so how could he explain to Chu Yi.

Noticing the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, Wang Shouren smiled bitterly, he also wanted to find out the main messenger behind the scenes, but in the past few days, whether it was Dongchang or Jinyiwei, including him himself, there was no result.

This kind of result was actually expected by Wang Shouren, although it was a little strange, but if you think about it carefully, there are definitely many people who have opinions about Chu Yi among the Chinese military officials, and there is no doubt about this.

Who let Chu Yi offend the interests of so many people, the key is that those powerful people and officials who dared to jump out to deal with Chu Yi were almost killed by Chu Yi several massacres, even if there are still people who want to break Chu Yi's body into pieces, but with so many lessons from the past, it would be strange if they would take the initiative to jump out.

This time the assassination of Chu did involve a lot of officials, but if you really want to say that these officials have a main messenger, it may not be, according to the confession of these officials, they are just pushing the boat down the river, no one ordered them, and no one instigated, they just pushed it by the way when they sensed that there was an undercurrent against Chu Yi.

Wang Shouren told Zhu Houzhao about his guesses and inferences, and Zhu Houzhao sat there when he heard this, muttered for a while, and looked at Jiao Fang and the others: "How about a few pavilion elders?" ”

The white-haired Jiao Fang said: "Your Majesty, what An Guogong said is not unreasonable, I believe Your Majesty should also know that since those officials have fallen into the hands of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and with the ability of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is not difficult to pry open the mouths of these people. Therefore, Lao Chen thinks that this case may really be as An Guogong said, and there is no behind-the-scenes mastermind. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "This is just a possibility, let Dongchang and Jinyiwei continue to check with me." ”

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao straightened up, and said with a little joy on his face: "Can a few pavilion elders receive the news, Chu Daban will arrive in Beijing tomorrow!" ”

Jiao Fang and the others were stunned for a moment, with a little surprise on their faces, and only heard Wang Hua say: "The cabinet has not received the news yet, but since Your Majesty said so, I think it won't be long before there will be news in Beijing." ”

Zhu Houzhao has the two major intelligence agencies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei as eyeliner, and the news is naturally very well-informed, and if the news of Chu Yi's arrival in Beijing is to follow the imperial court intelligence system, it will naturally be slower.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Daban is about to arrive in Beijing tomorrow, I also sent someone to the cabinet not long ago to deliver the decree, the Ministry of Rites must be extremely prepared, I will personally go out of the city for ten miles to welcome Daban's triumphant return!" ”

Not long ago, Zhu Houzhao sent an inner servant to deliver the decree, obviously Jiao Fang and the others were already on the way to the palace at that time, but they missed the inner servant who came to deliver the decree, otherwise, they would not have received the will in the cabinet at this time.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to personally go out of Beijing for ten miles to welcome Chu Yi's triumphant return, and several pavilion elders almost instinctively opened their mouths to object.

As the Son of Heaven, he is the most important in the world, how can he leave the Forbidden City without authorization, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao has to personally welcome out of Shili, which makes Jiao Fang and the others react subconsciously.

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to take the country's society as the priority!"

On the contrary, Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing did not speak, but they agreed very much with Zhu Houzhao going out of the city to welcome Chu Yi, who returned triumphantly.

To know how Zhu Houzhao needs to show his martial arts, then Zhu Houzhao, as the Son of Heaven, personally went out of the city ten miles to greet the returning soldiers, and this move alone is enough to show Zhu Houzhao's martial attitude.

And Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren, they all started with military merits, whether they are willing or not, they have the brand of the military.

The identities of both of them are quite special, such as Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing, who are both serious Confucian disciples, but they have embarked on the road of becoming a general.

The more Zhu Houzhao attaches importance to military merits, the more stable their status becomes, after all, they are now the representative figures of the new Xungui group.

Noticing that Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren had no objection, Zhu Houzhao got up, glanced at Jiao Fang and the others, and finally said to Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing: "The two Qing families may wish to say their opinions!" ”

Yang Yiqing arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is unique, and the ministers will obey Your Majesty's holy will!" ”

Glancing at Yang Yiqing with satisfaction, Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on Wang Shouren, and Wang Shouren said slowly: "Your Majesty's move will definitely greatly increase the morale of the victorious generals, and the ministers have no objections!" ”

Chen Ding and Wang Hua looked at Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren, and there was obviously a little helplessness in their eyes, if all the pavilion elders were against him going out of the city to greet him, then even if Zhu Houzhao was the Son of Heaven, then he had to think twice, and now with the support of Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing, it made the Son of Heaven full of confidence, noticing the helpless looks of Chen Ding and Wang Hua, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao laugh, he flicked his long sleeves and said decisively: "This matter is so decided, I will personally lead hundreds of officials out of the city for ten miles to welcome the triumphant return of Dayou and other soldiers!" ”

Chen Ding sighed lightly, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao, he was in a good mood and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how many adults Han Yi and Sun Zhong ......."

glanced at Chen Ding lightly, and heard Zhu Houzhao say with a little displeasure: "Spread my will, let them go back to me and think about it behind closed doors, and think about it, what did they do wrong!" ”
