After the Shao Yuan Festival, it didn't take long to see several princes coming one after another, such as Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, Xu Guangzhu, the Duke of Dingguo, and the British Duke of the head of several princes was replaced by Zhang Lun.

The old Duke Zhang Mao died of illness many years ago, and now the British Duke is Zhang Lun inheriting the British dukedom.

Like Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xu Guangqi, the Duke of Dingguo, are now very old, and they have all begun to cultivate heirs, and they rarely participate in major events in the court, if it is not for the summons of the Son of Heaven, they will return to the house after the great court meeting.

After the arrival of several princes, Zhu Houzhao, who had been reading the accumulated pieces with his head down, slowly raised his head, put down the Zhu pen in his hand, took a cup of tea from Wang Zheng's hand, tasted a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "You are very curious about what I have summoned you to come to. ”

The crowd didn't speak, but just by looking at their looks, they knew that everyone was really curious.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Houzhao nodded at Wang Zheng, and saw Wang Zheng waving his hand at several attendants in the imperial study, and soon several attendants in the imperial study withdrew.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao's expression was a little solemn, and he looked at the group of people and said slowly: "Regarding the whereabouts of Chu Daban, I don't know what you think?" ”

Several people showed puzzled expressions on their faces, why did they suddenly mention Chu Yi again, it has been a few years since Chu Yi disappeared.

Although a few years is not enough time for them to forget Chu Yi's existence, as time goes on longer and longer, it will be a matter of time before Chu Yi is forgotten.

Now that Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned Chu Yi again, it was naturally very confusing. The most important thing is that Chu Yi's whereabouts are indeed a mystery.

Everyone knows that Chu Yi suddenly disappeared without a trace on the way to the Western Ocean, in order to find Chu Yi, the Son of Heaven has vigorously developed the navy since then, and sent several fleets overseas to find Chu Yi's whereabouts.

After all these years, Chu Yi's traces are still a mystery, and the fleet sent out did not find Chu Yi's traces, but laid a vast territory overseas.

Over time, everyone forgot about the search for Chu Yi, and paid more attention to what kind of rich spoils those fleets had gained by attacking those countries overseas.

Suddenly, Chu Yi was mentioned again, and many people's hearts moved, could it be said that the Son of Heaven has not died yet?

The world is so big, if Chu Yi really finds a place to hide, even if he is the son of heaven, it will be extremely difficult to find it.

Obviously, Chu Yi has been missing for so many years, and it is almost certain that this is because Chu Yi himself is hiding and unwilling to reappear, otherwise, as long as Chu Yi appears, it will inevitably alarm the Son of Heaven.

Wang Yangming, who was sitting there, slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, King Wu disappeared overseas, could it be that Your Majesty has news of His Royal Highness King Wu?" ”

After all, Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned Chu Yi, and Wang Yangming and others couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Houzhao had found news about Chu Yi again.

After all, Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing are in high positions, and they are still aware of some of the actions of the Son of Heaven, not to mention the rest, just on the issue of finding Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao did not stop until a few years ago.

It is said that since it has stopped, it means that the Son of Heaven has given up looking for Chu Yi's whereabouts.

Everyone else also looked at Zhu Houzhao, everyone had different thoughts, for Chu Yi, anyone present was no stranger, they admitted that Daming can have today, and ninety percent of the credit is due to Chu Yi, just like Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming, they can have today, and they are also thanks to Chu Yi.

Therefore, people such as Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others are naturally grateful to Chu Yi, but veterans like Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu and Dingguo Gong Xu Guangqi have very complicated feelings for Chu Yi.

Admiration, fear, hatred, all kinds of feelings are intertwined, and it is very complicated.

In recent years, with the opening of the sea, the old nobles of Chengguo and Dingguo have seized the opportunity, followed the footsteps of the imperial court, and made a fortune.

However, relatively speaking, the noble status and influence of Chengguo Gong and Dingguo Gong as veteran nobles have been invisibly weakened a lot.

In particular, the Son of Heaven enshrined a group of new nobles led by Yang Yiqing, the Duke of Jin, and Wang Yangming, the Duke of Anguo.

Some people hope to find Chu Yi's traces, and if Chu Yi can return to the court, it would be great. There are also people who want Chu Yi to die outside, even if he doesn't die, it is best not to appear again for the rest of his life.

For some people, Chu Yi is their nobleman, and for some people, Chu Yi is their enemy.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care what everyone present thought in their hearts, one hand gently tapped the table, with a bit of a smile in his eyes, and said slowly: "I am ready to soar the whole country and follow the footsteps of the great companion......"

Yang Yiqing, Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu, who was drinking tea, couldn't help it immediately when they heard the words of the Son of Heaven, and a mouthful of tea squirted out, looking extremely embarrassed.

Even if Wang Yangming didn't taste tea, he couldn't help grinning and looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

Zhu Houzhao saw the reaction of the crowd in his eyes, and did not care at all, but glanced at the crowd with a calm expression.

Wiping the water stains on their bodies, Yang Yiqing and the others subconsciously glanced at each other and made eye contact.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter, it won't be confused!"

"Who the hell is bewitching Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao's words reminded Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing of some of the things that Zhu Houzhao had said to them about Chu Yi a few years ago.

At the beginning, Zhu Houzhao also said that Chu Yi was ascending, but at that time, they subconsciously thought that someone was bewitching the Son of Heaven, and even secretly investigated for this, but they didn't find anything, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven never mentioned it again.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that several years had passed, and Zhu Houzhao would once again put forward Chu Yi's words of ascension.

Compared with Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming, they had passed through it once and reacted quickly, but as for Chengguo Gong and Dingguo Gong, it took a while to come back to their senses.

Brushing his beard, Chengguo Gong couldn't help but say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand, His Royal Highness King Wu is just hiding from the world, how can he say that he is ascending, Your Majesty should not be confused by caution!" ”

Zhu Fu, who looked loyal, was the first to speak.

Zhu Houzhao just glanced at Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, if it weren't for the status of being the Duke of the Kingdom and resting with the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao would not have been able to invite Zhu Fu and Xu Guangqi, the veteran princes, to discuss the matter.

Compared with these nobles who were enshrined by Taizu and Chengzu, Zhu Houzhao prefers to communicate with the nobles he has enshrined.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty can be almost divided into Hongwu Xungui, Yongle Xungui and Zhengde Xungui, which are the three major honorable groups of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, because of the Battle of Jingjing, there are not many Hongwu Xungui inherited, and before Zhengde, Xungui refers more to Yongle Xungui.

Back then, Yongle Xungui also relied on his military exploits to rise, but after a hundred years, the descendants of later generations were not angry, and they were reduced to the children of Zhengde, but they were crushed by Zhengde Xungui. But no matter what, Yongle Xungui is a group that cannot be ignored.

Zhu Hou looked at everyone, stood up, pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and suddenly an invisible pressure rushed towards everyone.

I only heard Zhu Houzhao say word by word: "I'm not joking, I'm not confused, I have a definite certainty, I can be sure that Chu Daban has really ascended to the sky." ”

Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and even a few old princes naturally didn't believe it, after all, anyone who was rational and normal would not believe Zhu Houzhao's words.

However, the Son of Heaven was so sure again, especially looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, it was obviously not the kind of look that was confused.

The most important thing is that what kind of temperament the Son of Heaven is, everyone knows very well, Zhu Houzhao does have a deep affection for Chu Yi, which can be seen from the fact that he has been obsessed with it all these years.

But the Son of Heaven is very affectionate, if there is no definite news about Chu Yi, it is absolutely impossible for the Son of Heaven to talk to them about this matter so solemnly.

Could it be that they misunderstood the Son of Heaven?

I don't know why, Wang Yangming had such a thought in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by Wang Yangming.

As a cultivator, his cultivation can be said to be unfathomable, and the innate peak in the world is already the strongest existence, and in so many years, I have never heard of anyone soaring.

Wang Yangming asked himself that Chu Yi's cultivation was very strong, even a few points stronger than he was now, but no matter how strong he was, it was impossible to fly out of the sky.

It is precisely because he knows that it is impossible to ascend by practicing martial arts, so Wang Yangming firmly believes that there is no one who ascends in this world, but if he says so, then it must be a lie.

I have to say that under normal circumstances, there is no problem with Wang Yangming's cognition, and there is indeed no possibility of ascension in this world.

However, Chu Yi is not a person in this world, so naturally he cannot look at it from a secular perspective and judge it.

If others can't ascend, it doesn't mean that Chu Yi can't do it, even if Chu Yi ascends with the help of the Qi Luck Altar, but that is also a real ascension.

Standing in Wang Yangming's position, Wang Yangming was not wrong, but in Zhu Houzhao's position, he got the altar condensed by Chu Yi's millions of luck, and Zhu Houzhao naturally firmly believed that Chu Yi had soared.

With a light cough, he saw the British Duke Zhang Lun open his mouth and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty really has evidence to prove that King Wu has ascended?" ”

Hearing Zhang Lun say this, a group of people looked at Zhu Hou together.
