Chapter 151 Instigating the Son of Heaven 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】
Everyone in Dongchang dispersed, and Cao Shaoqin stood beside Chu Yi and whispered: "Superintendent, it seems that you intend to let Zhu Han and the others go!"
When Chu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Shaoqin. What he did was somewhat obvious, so it wasn't surprising that someone saw it. If Cao Shaoqin couldn't even see this, then he couldn't do it for Chu Yi.
Right arm.
Smiling slightly, Chu Yi did not explain, but said to Cao Shaoqin: "Light up the men and horses, and follow the governor to get them!"
According to Chu Yi's plan, today he was planning to go to Mao Ji and Pang Wenbin's house to raid their homes and arrest people. However, he did not expect that he would be assassinated by Zhu Han at the gate of the East Factory.
Soon, a group of Dongchang fans surrounded Chu Yi and headed straight for Mao Ji's mansion.
Such a big movement at the gate of Dongchang cannot fail to alarm people, especially now that Chu Yi has become the focus of many people in the capital.
The news of Chu Yi's assassination spread quickly throughout the capital.
Yang Tinghe's mansion, Yang Tinghe was about to go to the cabinet to deal with government affairs when he saw the housekeeper coming quickly.
"Sir, Mr. Zhu failed!"
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but pause in his steps, and a bit of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Although he had great expectations for Zhu Han, Yang Tinghe was not mentally prepared for failure, so he was just a little disappointed in his heart, and then walked forward and said
: "How is Mr. Zhu?"
In Yang Tinghe's opinion, Zhu Han's strength was not bad. Even if he couldn't assassinate Chu Yi, at least he would have no problem protecting himself.
However, the housekeeper smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhu was hit by an arrow in the chest and thigh respectively, and in addition was hit by Chu Yi's palm. I'm afraid it is unlikely that he will be able to recover without a year and a half of training."
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I warned him a long time ago not to underestimate the enemy, but the result was good. If we hadn't been prepared, Zhu Han would have died."
When the housekeeper mentioned the extent of Zhu Han's injury, Yang Tinghe could tell that Zhu Han must have been too arrogant, otherwise he would never have been injured so seriously.
The housekeeper whispered: "As the master expected, it is really thanks to those Japanese people this time, otherwise Mr. Zhu might have fallen into the hands of Chu Yi and the others."
Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said: "This time Chu Yi is assassinated, it is very likely that the capital will be invaded. Please arrange for people to leave the city immediately to prevent any trouble!"
After giving instructions to the housekeeper, Yang Tinghe went to the cabinet to manage affairs as usual.
Many dignitaries were naturally very happy to learn that Chu Yi had been assassinated. However, the fact that Chu Yi was safe and sound made many people quite disappointed.
Soon after learning that Chu Yi was heading towards Mao Ji's house, everyone couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for everyone in the Mao family.
Who doesn't know that Chu Yi was a master at raiding homes and annihilating clans? He confiscated dozens of wealthy gentry and powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River. The name of Chu Yi in the south of the Yangtze River was so disgraceful.
I thought that by recalling Chu Yi to the capital, the elders might be able to suppress Chu Yi. Even if they couldn't suppress him, at least in the important area of the capital, Chu Yi should be more restrained.
But the result was that Chu Yi captured Mao Ji and Pang Wenbin as soon as he returned to Beijing and killed more than a dozen military generals in the Beijing camp.
It seems that Chu Yi, the killer, has no intention of restraining himself when he returns from Jiangnan, but instead has the intention of staining the capital with blood.
Mao Jihe's house has been sealed off by Dongchang for two days. The family members of Mao Jihe's house are naturally terrified. When Chu Yi's name is mentioned, they can't help but think of the Jiangnan dignitaries and gentry whose families were confiscated and exterminated by Chu Yi.
The heavy door of the mansion opened, Chu Yi slowly walked into Mao's mansion, and saw that dozens of people in Mao's mansion were captured one by one and were being held in the yard.
A Dongchang stall owner came forward and bowed to Chu Yi: "Greetings to the governor, there are a total of twenty-three people in the Mao family, and they have all been captured."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and looked at the dozens of people in the yard. These were Mao Ji's wives, children, and children. Chu Yi had no ill intentions towards these people. The crime Mao Ji committed was not enough to exterminate the clan, but other than
In addition to Mao Ji's wife and daughter, his two sons were each involved in murder cases.
"Take people down!"
Mao Ji embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of military pay, so naturally Chu Yi came here to confiscate his family.
Following Chu Yi's order, the wolf-like Dongchang fans ransacked Mao Ji's house, but they only found about 300,000 taels.
Although there is some discrepancy with the amount checked by Dongchang, in Chu Yi's opinion, this is normal. Mao Ji had so much gold and silver, except for what he kept, he knew without thinking that the rest must have been shared with others.
After all, the Ministry of War is so huge that even if Mao Jigui is the Minister of the Ministry of War, it is impossible for him to cover the sky with one hand. After all, Chu Yi is eyeing Mao Ji. The only reason is that Mao Ji is the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Who made Chu Yi focus on the extremely important department among the six departments of the Ministry of War? It was not only Mao Ji, but this time Chu Yi wanted to use Mao Ji as a breakthrough point to bloodbath the Ministry of War.
After leaving Mao's Mansion, Chu Yi rushed to Pang Wenbin's Mansion. There were not many relatives in Pang Wenbin's Mansion, but there were about a dozen people. These people were taken away, and then the house was ransacked.
Compared with the more than 300,000 taels of silver found in Mao Ji's house, the property found in Pang Wenbin's house reached nearly one million taels.
As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel, Pang Wenbin almost ignored Liu Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Liu Zhong, who was like a wallflower, turned a blind eye to Pang Wenbin's move to sell his official position and win titles. Otherwise, how could Pang Wenbin be able to
He accumulated millions of dirty silver by selling his official position.
Mao Ji and Pang Wenbin confiscated a total of 1.3 million taels of silver. Chu Yi ordered the two families to be taken into the secret prison of Dongchang, and then went to the Baofang with the results of the ransack.
In the leopard room, when Chu Yi saw Zhu Houzhao, he was dancing with a sword. A cold light struck. Chu Yi remained motionless, stretched out his hand and pinched it, and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty is really in good spirits.
!”
After saying that, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Chu Yi, is here to report back to you!"
Zhu Houzhao threw the sword in his hand to Gu Dayong, took the towel from the eunuch's hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Chu Yi and said: "I know that a mere young man can't hurt the big companion at all!"
In the capital, at any rate, Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei are all under Zhu Houzhao's control, so Zhu Houzhao can still get the news immediately about any disturbance in the capital.
"It's a pity that the assassin is gone!"
Zhu Houzhao motioned Chu Yi to sit down, and while taking the tea, he looked at Chu Yi and said: "Although I don't know how strong the assassin is, I know that with Chu Daban's strength, if he is really willing, he wants to stay.
That assassin is not a difficult task."
Even Cao Shaoqin could tell that he was cheating, so it's not surprising that Zhu Houzhao could tell.
Chu Yi looked serious and said: "Does your Majesty know who the assassin is?"
After hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and the serving eunuch immediately retreated, leaving only Gu Dayong serving beside him.
I heard Zhu Houzhao say with great interest: "Does the other party have any special background? In my impression, I am afraid that even if you are facing a noble family, you may not be able to keep your hands on me!"
Chu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know which is the largest school of Confucianism today?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Of course it is the Cheng-Zhu school. Almost all the civil and military forces in the entire dynasty came from the Cheng-Zhu school!"
Suddenly Zhu Houzhao's expression changed. He looked at Chu Yi solemnly and said, "Could it be that the person who assassinated Daban was actually a disciple of Cheng Zhu School?"
No wonder Zhu Houzhao was so solemn. If this was true, then it would be understandable that Chu Yi did not keep the assassin on the spot.
Since Zhu Xi, the Cheng-Zhu School was vigorously supported by the Meng and Yuan Dynasties, and has now become the most influential school of Confucianism, dominating the discourse in the court and even the world.
That is to say, Wang Yangming realized Taoism in Longchang, broke away from the stereotypes of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, gathered the great achievements of Lu Wang's Xinxue, and founded the Yao-Jiang School to compete with the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism school.
After the death of Zhu Houzhao, the great etiquette dispute broke out during the reign of Emperor Shizong Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing relied on the Yaojiang school to fight against the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian school headed by Yang Tinghe.
Therefore, before Wang Yangming gathered the great achievements of Lu Wang’s Xinxue within Confucianism and established Yangming Studies, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had few rivals within Confucianism.
It is conceivable that in this environment, among the hundreds of officials in the court, one or more, most of them are supporters of the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian school. If Chu Yi really leaves Zhu Xi's successor, then he will definitely
It would cause an uproar within Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
At least at the moment, Chu Yi was not ready to fight against all the officials.
Seeing Chu Yi's expression in his eyes, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said, "It's right for Daban to do this. At the moment, we don't have enough strength to break up with those people."
With a sigh, Zhu Houzhao said: "I, the emperor, feel aggrieved. Chu Daban, you were assassinated. You obviously have the strength to keep him, but you have to let him go with the overall situation in mind..."
With a bit of chill in his eyes, Chu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Dealing with these people is nothing more than dividing, co-opting, and suppressing. As long as you give me time, sooner or later I will definitely help your Majesty regain control of the court and let you
They know what it means to be the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land, to reproduce the grand occasion of Taizu and his ancestor."
Chu Yi thought about future generations and said coldly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"
Zhu Houzhao, who was a little disappointed at first, couldn't help but trembled when he heard this. His eyes shone, his face flushed, and he murmured: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness!"
Then Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I will wait for that day!"
Gu Dayong on the side broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn't know where Chu Yi got the confidence to encourage the emperor so much that he actually wanted to compete with those old foxes and regain the military and political power. He really wasn't afraid that both the emperor and his ministers would follow Liu Jin's footsteps.
?
Just looking at Zhu Houzhao's high-spirited look, Gu Dayong sighed secretly in his heart.
Thunder, rain and dew are all the king's favor. This is how supreme the imperial power is. Think about the frustration Zhu Houzhao felt facing his ministers. As the emperor, he didn't even feel safe even living in the palace. Gu Dayong felt that Zhu Houzhao was so...
