Gu Dayong's face turned red and he said: "Your Majesty and Chu Yi are of the same mind, and this servant can never be as good as him!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, patted Gu Dayong on the shoulder and said: "I am somewhat looking forward to what kind of expression those people will have when they know the news. Will they be surprised or angry!"
After waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao said to the Dongchang fan: "Please step back, there will be news coming soon!"
But it was said that all the important ministers in the capital sent their trusted servants to watch Chu Yi's every move, who made Chu Yi become the most powerful servant in the Ming Dynasty from yesterday.
Even the chief minister of the cabinet may not be able to match Chu Yi, so they must pay attention to any move of Chu Yi.
The most important thing is that Chu Yi is too dangerous. He dares to kill people in Songyang Academy, and dares to kill literati, gentry, and powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River. He is like a madman. If they don't keep a close eye on him, they will feel uneasy.
For example, Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Liu Zhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and others sent people to watch Chu Yi's every move.
After Cao Shaoqin and Han Kun led people out of the barracks, the servants followed closely and sent people back quickly to inform their masters.
In Yang Tinghe's house, Yang Tinghe was looking at the eldest son in front of him in the study.
Not long ago, Yang Shen was driven to the ancestral hall by Yang Tinghe, who was furious because of his rude remarks, and now Yang Shen was summoned.
Yang Shen saluted with a calm expression: "My child has seen your father, but I don't know why my father called me here!"
Yang Tinghe motioned Yang Shen to sit down and said, "Sit down and talk. I have something to ask you!"
Yang Shen sat down and looked at Yang Tinghe. He seemed to have no idea what Yang Tinghe's softening of attitude meant. You must know that Yang Tinghe wanted to break his legs before.
Only Yang Tinghe said: "Shen'er, what kind of person do you think Chu Yi is?"
After being slightly startled, Yang Shen couldn't help but look up at Yang Tinghe and said, "Father, isn't he facing Chu Yi?"
Yang Tinghe just waved his hand and said: "My son, tell me what you think of Chu Yi!"
Yang Shen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although the child has only been with Chu Yi for more than half a month, the child can see that Chu Yi is definitely not a thing in the pool. Does the father know it? Don't mention anything else.
Chu Yi's knowledge may not be comparable to that of even the most learned scholars. For ten years, he would have a book in his hand almost every day. Therefore, if Chu Yi is well-read and knowledgeable, I dare to say that there is no way in the world.
Few people dare to object."
Looking up at Yang Tinghe who was listening attentively, Yang Shen added: "My child even wanted to be his disciple, but unfortunately he was rejected by Chu Yi!"
Yang Tinghe, who was stroking his beard, shivered at Yang Shen's words. He pulled out a few beards and groaned in pain. He waved his hand and wanted to slap Yang Shen.
However, Yang Tinghe raised his hand but did not drop it. He sighed and said: "Continue talking."
Yang Shen looked serious and said: "This is just one aspect of Chu Yi. The most important thing is that this person is resolute in character, decisive in dealing with things, and not sloppy at all. Both his courage and character are rare. If he is not a chamberlain, he is just
I’m afraid that this person will become a famous official throughout the ages.”
For Yang Shen to admire Chu Yi so highly shows how deeply Chu Yi left a deep impression on Yang Shen.
Yang Tinghe nodded slightly after hearing Yang Shen's evaluation of Chu Yi. Based on the information he collected about Chu Yi, Chu Yi was indeed as Yang Shen said, a rare being in a century.
Yang Tinghe still had considerable trust in Yang Shen's judgment of Chu Yi. If he didn't understand his eldest son's temperament as a father, I'm afraid no one else would.
He was born with the reputation of being a child prodigy, and since he was a child, he was eager to learn and could be said to be well-read, so Yang Shen rarely convinced others in terms of knowledge, let alone allowed them to have the idea of becoming a teacher regardless of the other person's status and age.
Yang Tinghe said slowly: "In my opinion, if you want to deal with Chu Yi, what should you do?"
Yang Shen frowned and said, "Father, do you have to deal with Chu Yi?"
Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly and said: "As a father, sitting in this seat, there are some things that I can't help but have to do. The Ming Dynasty has already produced a Liu Jin, but it can no longer withstand the torment of another Chu Yi."
Yang Shen sighed softly, saying that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. When he went with Chu Yi to the south of the Yangtze River, especially Chu Yi went on a killing spree in the south of the Yangtze River, massacring the gentry and powerful people, and he was surprised to find that tens of millions of taels were copied.
This made Yang Shen, who was still young, very shocked and puzzled.
Why was Jiangnan so prosperous but the people were poor, yet the imperial court could not collect much tax from Jiangnan? This made Yang Shen extremely confused.
After this experience, Yang Shen's thoughts changed a lot, and he realized that the land of Jiangnan was definitely not as simple as he had imagined before.
The emperor's tax collection in the south of the Yangtze River was not to compete with the people, but to truly benefit the country and the people.
It is a pity that these measures were strongly resisted by all the civil and military officials in the court. Even Liu Jin lost his life because he interfered with the interests of Jiangnan.
Taking a long breath, Yang Shen said: "Father, if you really want to deal with Chu Yi, then it is best to do it within the rules. Chu Yi always acts within the rules, even if he is unscrupulous, he does not cross the bottom line.
.”
Yang Tinghe's expression changed slightly, he stroked his beard and nodded, and said to Yang Shen: "Father knows, Shen'er, please go down and rest."
At this moment, the old housekeeper knocked on the door hurriedly. Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
"Master, there is news about Chu Yi."
Yang Shen, who was about to get up and leave, paused and sat there steadily, but Yang Tinghe ignored him and said: "Come in."
The butler pushed the door open and said, "Master, our people just sent news that Chu Yi entered the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp and not long after that, he saw a group of people, led by the eunuch Cao Shaoqin, leaving the camp and riding down the street.
go."
Yang Tinghe couldn't help being stunned when he heard the news. Hearing the news, Yang Tinghe felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
But Yang Shen, who was sitting there and heard all this, slapped his leg suddenly and said: "No, Chu Yi is going to kill someone!"
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized that just as Yang Shen said, Chu Yi seemed to have this kind of routine in Jiangnan, where his men would run wild and ransack homes and take away people without restraint.
But Yang Tinghe still looked at Yang Shen with some disbelief in his heart and said, "Did my son overestimate Chu Yi? Nanjing City is Nanjing City, but the capital is different from Nanjing City. He can do whatever he wants in Nanjing City. Could it be that
Do you dare to go on a killing spree in the capital?"
Hearing what Yang Tinghe said, Yang Shen, who was originally sure that Chu Yi would go on a killing spree, couldn't help but hesitate. Yes, in the capital city, how could anyone dare to go on a killing spree?
Thinking back on how arrogant and arrogant Liu Jin was back then, the most he could do was send out guards in royal robes to capture people, but he never allowed his army to capture people in the city.
With a wry smile, Yang Shen said: "Father, Chu Yi cannot be judged by common sense, so I am worried that Chu Yi is really going to kill someone!"
Yang Tinghe slapped the table and shouted: "How dare he, a eunuch, he still wants to overturn the world."
After speaking, Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, "You can go down and have a rest."
Not mentioning Yang Tinghe, but saying that at the residence of the Wei commander Xu Yizu, this day was the birthday of one of Xu Yizu's concubines. For this new concubine, Xu Yizu really held it in the palm of his hand, so on this day Xu Yizu came to
A banquet was held at the house and some friends were invited.
At this time, Xu Yizu's house was filled with joy. Xu Yizu was holding a beautiful woman's slim waist and taking the wine glass from one of his subordinates.
If someone had seen it, they would have discovered that three of these people were Qianhu officials, Xu Yizu's close confidants, and several Baihu officials. Almost half of the people on Chu Yi's roster were here.
As Xu Yizu's confidant, Qianhuguan Wei Ming said to Xu Yizu: "Sir, why do you think the emperor is so doting on a eunuch, and why he handed over the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor to you? This Chu Yi is worse than Liu Jin.
You need to win the favor of the emperor."
Lu Qi, the Qianhu official on the side, was drunk. Hearing this, he grinned and said: "Haha, don't forget, our new chief of the Royal Horse Supervisor is a good-looking young man, who is about the same age as the emperor.
He is always by the Emperor's side, what kind of relationship do you think the Emperor will have with him..."
The other people were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they laughed with understanding and said: "Master Lu hit the nail on the head and told the truth. Come, let's drink to Master Lu!"
Xu Yizu pretended to be angry and said: "Be careful, be careful. The relationship between Your Majesty and Chu Yi is not something we can discuss. Even if they are close, isn't it normal? Otherwise, why do you think the emperor is so fond of him?
Chu Yi."
Lu Qi, Wei Ming and the others laughed and raised their glasses: "Your Majesty taught me a lesson! We will bear in mind your Majesty's teachings."
An official from a hundred households said: "I don't know if the temperament of this general manager is really as fond of killing as the rumors say. If he is not easy to take care of, our life will be difficult in the future."
"Yes, if you ask me to say that the emperor is really the emperor, isn't Mr. Gu doing a good job? He doesn't do much on weekdays. Not to mention how comfortable everyone is, why did he suddenly like the new and dislike the old, and handed over the Royal Horse Supervisor to Chu Yi?
Woolen cloth."
Xu Yizu waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of? Chu Yi is just a eunuch. No matter how powerful he is, we may not be afraid of them."
The little worry that had just arisen in the hearts of Wei Ming, Lu Qi and others disappeared as soon as he thought of the adults standing behind him.
[I took advantage of the little time before the meal and quickly coded one out. Now I’m not afraid of lying down while drinking. Hahaha, monthly tickets, rewards! 】
