Chu Yi did not speak. He knew that Zhu Houzhao must be holding back a burst of anger in his heart at this moment, and if this anger was not vented, it would only hurt his body if it was held in his heart.
Pacing on the spot, an angry Zhu Houzhao grabbed a plate and dropped it in the tunnel: "The people's power is in decline. I finally understand. The people's power in my Jiangnan is really in decline."
After a while, Zhu Houzhao calmed down his anger slightly, but it could be seen that Zhu Houzhao was still angry and said to Chu Yi: "Chu Daban killed well, these greedy people should all be killed! I want to ask
My elders, my civil servants, should these people be killed?"
Chu Yi sighed softly: "Your Majesty, it is human nature to be greedy. However, some people are so greedy that they destroy their conscience and bottom line. We should follow the example of Emperor Taizu and kill them to warn the world.
"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he praised: "Yes, Taizu was so domineering back then, corrupting officials, stripping off skin and pretending to be grass, but I..."
Thinking that he could not even save a single servant by his side, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look sad and sighed.
With a bit of dejection, Zhu Houzhao sat there, letting Gu Dayong clean and bandage the wound.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's reaction in his eyes, Chu Yi said: "Why is your majesty doing this? Taizu is the emperor on horseback, and his prestige is so great that no one in the world can match it. As a bloodline of Taizu, your majesty should cheer up."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to signal all the other little eunuchs to leave, leaving only Gu Dayong and Chu Yi. At this time, Zhu Houzhao said with a disappointed look on his face: "This is the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, the imperial court, I am
There are only a few people who can be trusted. Let alone Zhang Yong and Zhang Daban, I treat him like a family member, but he actually colluded with the foreign court. What does he want to do, what does he want to do!"
Listening to Zhu Houzhao's voice, Chu Yi knew that Zhu Houzhao was betrayed by someone he trusted, and he couldn't accept it in his heart.
After all, even if Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, he is only a young man in his twenties. The emperor's scheming and emperor's character are simply fake. If he really has the emperor's scheming, he will not be beaten by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
The oppressed people moved out of the palace and hid in the leopard room.
Gu Dayong lowered his head, how could he dare to answer the question? Zhu Houzhao left him here, which meant that Zhu Houzhao still trusted him. If he said something wrong and offended the extremely sensitive Zhu Houzhao, he would not be able to find a place to cry.
.
However, a cold light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes and he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that Chu is back, I will clear up the dust and dust for your Majesty. I, Chu Yi, am willing to cut off all these unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind people with the sword in your Majesty's hand."
Unjust, you are a bastard!"
Zhu Houzhao stared at Chu Yi after hearing this, and saw Chu Yi's eyes looking at him, with a bit of encouragement, comfort, and determination in his eyes.
With a feeling of warmth in his heart, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel a sore nose and murmured: "Chu Daban..."
Turning slightly to the side, trying to maintain his imperial dignity, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said in a deep nasal voice: "Chu Daban, I promise you that I will never let Liu Daban's incident happen again!"
Chu Yi laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they were able to capture Liu Jin because Liu Jin was not upright. I, Chu Yi, want to see how they can deal with me!"
Gu Dayong was on the side helping Zhu Houzhao bandage his wounds and heard the words: "Your Majesty, in that case, why not take all those people down and punish them, so that your Majesty's anger can be relieved."
Then when Gu Dayong finished speaking, he saw Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi looking at him. Just by looking at their reactions, Gu Dayong knew that he must have said the wrong thing.
Zhu Houzhao patted Gu Dayong on the shoulder and said: "I am thankful that I didn't let Daban sit in the seat of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be long before they take you, Gu Daban, like they did to Liu Daban."
Down!"
Gu Dayong exclaimed, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to the execution ground to see off Liu Jin in person not long ago under Zhu Houzhao's order. He saw Liu Jin's head being chopped off with his own eyes. He still has lingering fear in his heart when he thinks about it.
Now listening to what Zhu Houzhao said, Gu Dayong couldn't help but think about whether he would be captured like Liu Jin if he really sat in the seat of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Just thinking about it, Gu Dayong felt infinite fear in his heart. His family knew about his family affairs. Maybe he could serve others, but if he really let him fight with the old foxes among the civil and military officials in the court, he would probably be played to death.
.
I don't think he can even fight Liu Jin. He has been suppressed by Liu Jin. Even Liu Jin is being plotted to death by these people. How can he be stronger than Liu Jin?
After understanding this, Gu Dayong's grudge against Chu Yi for being the Supervisor of Ceremonies suddenly disappeared. Although that position was good, it was not that easy to fill.
"Slave, thank you for your kindness. I'd better stay with you and serve you well!"
Zhu Houzhao was in a much better mood and said to Chu Yi: "When are you going to take office, Chu Daban? I will hand over all the ceremonial supervisors and the royal horse supervisor to you."
Although Chu Yi said he already knew it, he still felt emotional when he heard Zhu Houzhao mention it. Once he takes charge of the Chief Ceremony Supervisor and the Royal Horse Supervisor, he will truly become the number one person in the palace, and then he will overpower the cabinet and become
It is not difficult to have the power to dominate the world.
After pondering for a while, Chu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. I will go to see some people and your Majesty will inform the civil and military officials of the court."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said with determination in his eyes: "As long as Chu Daban knows what he knows, just let him go and do whatever he wants. I will never let what happened to Liu Daban happen again."
It was getting late, so Zhu Houzhao went back to rest, but Chu Yi took a short rest, meditated for a while, regained his energy, took Cao Shaoqin, and Qi Hu quietly left the leopard room.
The capital is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, but it is where the capital is, and some places are still brightly lit. At this moment, Chu Yi and the others are heading straight towards the Tianlao.
The Jinyiwei has imperial prisons, and the Ministry of Punishment has the Tianlao. The Tianlao generally imprisons criminals tried by the Ministry of Punishment. Liu Jin’s case involves many people, among which the main criminal Liu Jin has now been beheaded in public, including Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian, who were also imprisoned along with Liu Jin.
Behead.
However, Jiao Fang, Bi Heng, Liu Yu, and Cao Yuan were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Although the emperor said that Jiao Fang and others had been removed from their positions as cabinet elders and ministers and demoted to common people, Mao Mao
Ji, Hu Ming and others did not want to let go of these former Liu Jin comrades.
According to their thinking, Jiao Fang and others attached themselves to the eunuch Liu Jin, which was a disgrace to the literati. Even if the emperor removed these people from their positions, they could not just let it go.
That is to say, the main focus of the Punishment Department in the past few days has been on Liu Jin, and they only detained Jiao Fang and others in the Punishment Department's Sky Prison. Otherwise, they are afraid that the situation will be even worse.
The environment in the Tianlao is naturally conceivable. In addition to the important officials of the imperial court, there are also many felons who were escorted to the capital. It can be said that it is a mixed bag.
Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, and Cao Yuan were literati. They were not as strong as those strong men. They were imprisoned in this prison, and their life was naturally difficult. Although they were not tortured, they were still mentally depressed.
Across the fence, Jiao Fang's hair and beard are disheveled. She still has the demeanor of a cabinet minister who could compete with the chief minister Li Dongyang in the past.
No one knows that Jiao Fang is an important figure in Liu Jin's group. It can be said that Liu Jin exerts influence on the cabinet and the outer court through Jiao Fang and others. Therefore, many people are eager to kill Jiao Fang and others.
Being in this heavenly prison, Jiao Fang didn't feel any panic. She just did as she should every day, as if she was not in a heavenly prison.
Liu Yu is a flatterer in Liu Jin's group and has little ability. He got into the cabinet by flattering Liu Jin. Now that he has been arrested and thrown into the sky prison, he can be said to be in constant panic all day long.
On this day, Liu Yu looked desperately and said to Jiao Fang in the cell opposite: "Jiao Fang, did you listen to the jailer? Eunuch Liu has been beheaded in public. We are finished, finished!"
When they were first arrested and taken to the prison, Liu Yu and the others were not really worried. Even if they were worried, they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
They are very aware of the affection between Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, so they believe that as long as Zhu Houzhao does not give up on Liu Jin, then even if they are temporarily depressed, they will always make a comeback.
However, after learning from the jailer that Liu Jin had been beheaded in public not long ago, Liu Yu felt that his last glimmer of hope was gone and he almost went crazy.
Jiao Fang glanced at Liu Yu lightly and said: "Eunuch Liu's death was just an expected thing. You wouldn't think that those people wasted so much effort, and even committed the crime of rebellion on Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu can still survive!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "But...but your Majesty, he..."
Jiao Fang snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty? What can your Majesty do? Could it be said that your Majesty can still oppose the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"
With a pop, Liu Yu fell to the ground and said with a crazy look on his face: "Hahaha, if Eunuch Liu is dead, they will definitely not let us go. Die, die, everyone will die..."
Glancing at Liu Yu with pity, Jiao Fang glanced at Bi Heng and Cao Yuan. Among them, Bi Heng was one of the few talented, knowledgeable and capable people in the Liu Jin Group. After all, he was in charge of the Six Mining Department.
, in Jiao Fang's view, Bi Heng was studious, inquisitive, upright and honest. Among the dozen or so important officials in Liu Jin's party, only Bi Heng was not greedy and his family had no money. He could really be called a good official.
Seemingly noticing Jiao Fang's gaze, Bi Heng nodded slightly towards Jiao Fang.
Jiao Fang took a few steps forward, sat down against the fence of Bi Heng's cell and said, "I wonder what Bi Shangshu has planned for the future?"
