Chapter 147 The reaction of the mother of a country
Chu Yi actually arrested Xia Zhu. He was simply a lunatic. After all, he was a relative of the emperor. Even if Zhu Houzhao didn't care, he was not afraid of offending the queen and offending many members of the royal family and others.
Many royal relatives?
These people came here to watch Chu Yi's jokes. At least in their opinion, Chu Yi would not dare to do anything to Xia Zhu.
However, Chu Yi made them see what it means to be unscrupulous and what it means to have no taboos. Even if he is the queen's brother, Chu Yi will arrest him whenever he wants.
When the soldiers behind Chu Yi escorted Xu Yizu and Xia Zhu through the long street, many people were amazed.
"Uncle Xia Zhu, it's actually uncle Xia Zhu!"
"No, this Chu Yi is so bold, he even arrested his uncle!"
"This castrated dog is really crazy. He even dares to catch the emperor's relatives. He is dead this time!"
Chu Yi turned a deaf ear to these discussions. His mouth was always on others. Even if he were the emperor, he couldn't stop everyone's mouths.
The news spread rapidly as if it had wings.
In the house of a pavilion boss, Jin Gui, the pavilion boss, had just picked up the tea when he saw a servant running over and said to Jin Gui: "Master, Chu Yi...Chu Yi, he..."
Although Jin Gui said that he had no hostility towards Chu Yi, Chu Yi was the new official who took office. As the elder of the cabinet, he naturally had to keep an eye on Chu Yi's every move.
He glanced at the servant and said, "How is Chu Yi?"
Jin Gui had received news earlier that Chu Yi went to the Tengyang Four Guards Camp and sent troops to capture the guard commander Xu Yizu, but Xu Yizu hid in Xia Zhu's mansion.
Jin Gui became excited. He wanted to see what Chu Yi would do in the face of this situation. After all, it involved Queen Xia, and even more, it involved the huge group of royal relatives.
The servant calmed his breathing and looked at his master with a somewhat shocked look: "Chu Yi actually captured Xu Yizu!"
Jin Gui was stunned and said: "What a Chu Yi, he dares to offend even the emperor's relatives. He is really not afraid of getting into trouble."
The servant swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, Chu Yi not only captured Xu Yizu, but more importantly, Uncle Xia Guo was also captured."
"What, you said that my uncle Xia Zhu was also captured by Chu Yi?"
Jin Gui suddenly stood up and looked at the servant with a look of disbelief on his face. The news brought by this servant was really shocking.
After all, he was also the biological brother of the current queen. If an uncle of the state took him away at his request, he would not give Empress Xia face.
In the huge capital city, the most powerful people are all kinds of powerful people. Not to mention all, at least most of the powerful people are paying attention to Chu Yi's every move. Now that Chu Yi has captured Xia Zhu, people like Jin Gui are confused.
There are definitely not a few people.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were directed towards the Forbidden City and the Leopard Room.
The queen always lives in the Forbidden City. Now that her biological brother has been kidnapped, she just doesn't know how the queen will react and whether she will go and plead with the emperor to punish Chu Yi.
There is also the attitude of the emperor Zhu Houzhao. Compared with the queen's reaction, everyone pays more attention to Zhu Houzhao's attitude. After all, even if the queen wants to punish Chu Yi, she can only go through Zhu Houzhao.
In the Leopard Room, Zhu Houzhao was sitting there, with a Dongchang fan kneeling in front of him. This fan was telling the emperor that Xu Yizu had escaped into the residence of his uncle Xia Zhu and that Cao Shaoqin and Han Kun were helpless.
Zhu Houzhao looked calm. Gu Dayong looked at Zhu Houzhao and said to Zhu Houzhao with some worry in his heart: "Your Majesty, that is Uncle Xia after all. Brother Chu, he is probably going to be in trouble!"
Obviously Gu Dayong didn't think highly of Chu Yi either, and didn't think Chu Yi would dare to offend the emperor's relatives.
Chu Yi would arrest other dignitaries as soon as he caught them. The key was that the emperor's relatives were involved in the royal family, and the degree of control was not easy at all. If he didn't do it well, he might endanger the emperor.
On the other hand, Zhu Houzhao was sitting there with a calm look on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao said: "Let's investigate again. If there is any news, come and report it immediately."
Not long after, Zhu Houzhao received the news that Chu Yi came to Xia Zhu's mansion in person, and then captured Xia Zhu and Xu Yizu.
Gu Dayong stood aside and looked at Zhu Houzhao, fearing that Zhu Houzhao would be angry at the next moment. Although Gu Dayong was secretly happy to see Chu Yi's misfortune, Gu Dayong heard that Chu Yi had arrested him.
Xia Zuke felt inexplicably excited in his heart.
They, the emperor's chamberlains, are not afraid of the civil servants and even the powerful. However, there is one group that they do not dare to offend easily, and they are even often angered by this group. This is the emperor's relatives.
As a chamberlain, it seemed that he was inherently inferior to these royal relatives. Even if he was as powerful as Liu Jin, who had served as a minister and a prince, he tried his best to avoid provoking those royal relatives.
After Zhu Houzhao finished listening, his expression remained calm, so calm that it was hard to see anything.
In the palace, a little palace maid trotted into a quiet palace, which was the residence of Queen Xia.
Xia's appearance is dignified, her behavior is elegant and graceful, and her whole body is noble, making her worthy of being the mother of a country.
At this time, Mrs. Xia was copying a Taoist scripture there. She noticed the panic of the maid beside her and frowned. She put down the brush in her hand and said harmoniously: "Qinghe, you are so flustered, how unbecoming it is!"
The little palace maid Qing He said eagerly: "Queen, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"
Mr. Xia, who was sitting there steadily, smiled slightly and said, "The sky won't fall, so what's going on?"
After all, she is also the mother of a country. Queen Xia's demeanor alone is unparalleled by other people.
Qinghe said anxiously: "Mother, Uncle Er Guo has been captured!"
Xia, who was originally calm, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. After reacting, he was surprised: "What, you said the second brother was arrested?"
Qinghe nodded fiercely and said: "Just now, someone sent a message to the slave, asking the slave to tell the Queen that the uncle Xia Zhu was captured by Chu Yi, the director of the ceremonial supervisor, the supervisor of the imperial horse supervisor, and the governor of the East Factory.
Got it!"
Xia took a deep breath, stared at Qinghe and said, "You said someone asked you to tell me this?"
Qinghe nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I can't leave the palace, so how can I know the news from the outside world? This is what a young eunuch told me."
Mrs. Xia frowned and said to Qinghe, who looked nervous: "Qinghe, please go down first, I want to be quiet!"
Qinghe was stunned and said: "Mother, my uncle has been arrested, you should go to your majesty immediately..."
Obviously Qinghe was very puzzled by Xia's reaction. As the mother of a country, and her own brother was arrested, shouldn't she go to the emperor to plead for mercy?
However, Xia Shi shook his head at Qinghe and said: "You go down first, I have my own considerations!"
Inside and outside the palace, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the movement of the palace where the queen lived in the Forbidden City.
After the Bao Fang was silent and there was no response, everyone naturally focused their attention on the direction of the palace. They wanted to see how the queen would react if the uncle was arrested, and how Chu Yi would respond if the queen caused trouble for Chu Yi.
In a restaurant, several officials who had gathered together after going to court were discussing with great interest what had just happened.
An official smiled and said: "Everyone, it's really exciting now. Our General Manager Chu really dares to do anything. He even arrested Xia Zhu, our uncle!"
Another person sneered and said: "Chu Yi is just a lunatic. He has killed so many literati in the south of the Yangtze River and slaughtered so many gentry and powerful people. Is there anything he dare not do?"
"If you ask me, Chu Yi is probably in big trouble now. As the saying goes, the bones are broken but the tendons are connected. The queen in the palace will definitely not sit back and watch her brother fall into Chu Yi's hands."
"So, let's watch a good show here!"
Not to mention that these people were staring at the direction of the Forbidden City, Chu Yi very calmly sent Xia Zhu into the secret prison of Dongchang. As for Xu Yizu and others, they were captured one by one and brought back to the Tengxiang Four Guards.
Except for Xu Yizu, the others on the roster were just officials from a thousand households and officials from a hundred households. It didn't take long for them all to be captured.
At this moment, on the huge school grounds, a dense crowd of soldiers stood crookedly.
More than half an hour has passed since Chu Yi ordered all the soldiers to gather. These soldiers have been standing for more than half an hour. It is already quite good that they did not collapse or fall to the ground.
Based on the information that Dongchang possesses, not to mention the already rotten guard station, even the so-called elites in the Beijing camp have very few troops with such quality.
Chu Yi slowly climbed onto the high platform and scanned the densely dark area below. They say that once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
Looking around, there were more than 10,000 people. They were really densely packed with heads. On the huge school ground, everyone's eyes were turned towards Chu Yi.
Then I heard Chu Yi sigh and say, "Commanders and soldiers, this is Chu Yi, the Horse Supervisor appointed by Your Majesty. Today I am here to reward you on His Majesty's order."
When they heard that Chu Yi was actually here to reward them, as the emperor's personal soldiers, all the soldiers were naturally very surprised. They all said that good men should not be soldiers. Not to mention other dynasties, at least in the Ming Dynasty, this sentence is really not too much.
As long as they have the ability to survive, there are really not many people who are willing to be soldiers. Once they become a member of the military, it is true that their ancestors have been soldiers for generations. The most important thing is that after going through layers of cards, it is not too much in the first place.
It would be good to be able to support themselves once the salary money comes into their hands.
Suddenly hearing that the emperor was going to reward them, these soldiers were naturally shocked. It can be seen that the effect of silver is stronger than anything else.
