Chu Yi said to Cao Shaoqin: "From now on, you can do things with peace of mind. I will stop Liu Jin for you!"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and his heart finally fell. It is true that Liu Jin's actions in the past six months have calmed many people.
Anyone who was against Liu Jin relied on the emperor's favor, even the cabinet minister was removed by Liu Jin. It can be said that Liu Jin's evil reputation has spread from the inner court to the court.
Chu Yi knew very well that this was not the peak of Liu Jin's power. When Liu Jin's power reached its peak, it could be said that except for a few upright ministers, no one in the entire dynasty dared to oppose Liu Jin's opinions.
It would still be a few years before Liu Jin reached peak prosperity and declined. Ordinarily Chu Yi should hide under the big tree of Liu Jin to protect himself from the wind and rain as planned.
However, as Chu Yi gained the trust of the emperor, Chu Yi discovered that his previous idea was not realistic at all.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that this time he was appointed as the governor of the East Factory by the emperor has left a rift between him and Liu Jin. Although Liu Jin didn't seem to care on the surface, what was he thinking in his heart?
Only he himself knows.
Fortunately for Liu Jin, his biggest opponent now is Gu Dayong, who is in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. With Liu Jin's temperament, once Gu Dayong is suppressed, Chu Yi can guarantee that Liu Jin will definitely target Dongchang.
After all, the East Factory has always been the territory of the Director of Ceremony, but now Liu Jin, the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, has not been able to take charge of the East Factory. It would be strange if Liu Jin had no idea in his mind.
Unless Chu Yi is willing to hand over Dongchang obediently when the time comes, it will only be a matter of time before he confronts Liu Jin. In this case, why not take advantage of Liu Jin's aggressive rejection of dissenters to recruit a group of usable people for his own use.
If nothing else, at least Cao Shaoqin is a useful person.
In the huge database of Dongchang, Chu Yi, accompanied by Cao Shaoqin, stood in front of a wall. In front of this wall, there were neat rows of bookshelves.
Cao Shaoqin said to Chu Yi: "Lord Governor, here are the information records you are looking for about various sects in the rivers and lakes."
"Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, Sun and Moon Sect..."
Familiar names appeared in Chu Yi's sight one after another, which had to make Chu Yi think about it. Ever since he discovered that there were martial arts such as the Sunflower Book in this world, Chu Yi knew that this was by no means an ordinary world. Now look at it.
My guess is correct.
"Cao Shaoqin, come and tell me, who are the most respected forces in this world?"
Cao Shaoqin was not surprised to see that Chu Yi seemed to be quite interested in Jianghu. After all, Dongchang's own duty was to monitor the world, and the activities in Jianghu were also under Dongchang's supervision.
After pondering for a while, Cao Shaoqin had stayed in Dongchang for several years, so he knew these information very well. Then he heard Cao Shaoqin say: "Reporting to the Governor, in this world, it must be Shaolin, Wudang and Sun Moon God."
Religion is the most important thing. In the past, the Huashan Sect was famous all over the world. However, it is a pity that there was a turmoil decades ago and the strength of the Huashan Sect was severely damaged and it has declined since then."
With a thought in his heart, Chu Yi chuckled and said: "Oh, the Sun and Moon God Sect can actually keep pace with Shaolin and Wudang. I wonder what the origin of this Sun and Moon God Sect is?"
Cao Shaoqin looked around and whispered: "The governor does not know something. It is said that the Sun and Moon God Sect has a great background. In the past, His Majesty Taizu rose up in the twilight years, expelled the Yuan and Mongolian Tatars, and restored Chinese clothes. However,
Only by gaining the support of the Mingjiao, a powerful force, did he have the last laugh among the heroes, but Taizu..."
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows. Cao Shaoqin even dared to comment on Emperor Taizu. It was obvious that he really attached himself wholeheartedly. Otherwise, he would never dare to say such words.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, Chu Yi said: "Could it be that the Sun and Moon God Sect is derived from the Ming Sect?"
Cao Shaoqin nodded and said: "The Ming Cult was destroyed by Taizu, but naturally it was impossible to kill all the huge Ming Cult. Those remnants fled to the southeast and founded the Sun and Moon Sect in Heimuya. Because they inherited the foundation of the Ming Cult in the past, the Sun Moon Cult
The Moon God Sect is not weaker than Shaolin or Wudang."
As he spoke, Cao Shaoqin stepped forward, took out a volume of book, and respectfully sent it to Chu Yi: "Master, please take a look. This is the information about the Sun and Moon God Sect collected by Dongchang."
After taking the book and opening it, Chu Yi took a closer look. Sure enough, there were records about the Sun and Moon God Sect, but the writing about the origin of the Sun and Moon God Sect was very obscure. Chu Yi didn't care much about these.
What is concerning is that the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect is Dongfang Bubai.
"The East is undefeated!"
When Cao Shaoqin heard Chu Yi chanting Dongfang Bubai's name, he quickly explained: "More than ten years ago, the former head of the Sun Moon God Sect, Wo Xing, suddenly disappeared. Dongfang Bubai became the new leader. It is said that Dongfang Bubai has practiced in seclusion over the past few years.
Meng Qigong, even the affairs of the church are left to the subordinates to take care of."
Chu Yi looked at the names on the book, Yang Lianting, Qu Yang, and the corners of his mouth gradually swayed.
"Interesting, interesting!"
Seeing Chu Yi's reaction, Cao Shaoqin was a little confused as to what Chu Yi meant. He stood aside with his head slightly lowered, watching Chu Yi put down the book and reached out to take the Huashan Sect's file.
After opening it, Chu Yi glanced at it, and sure enough, the person leading it was none other than the head of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun.
It was not until sunset that Chu Yi left Dongchang and returned to the palace.
At Chu Yi's residence, Zhao Ming and Du Qian were relieved when they saw Chu Yi's return. They quickly came up to greet you and said, "Sir, you are finally back. Your Majesty has summoned you. The visitor has been waiting for a cup of tea.
"
Chu Yi was slightly stunned. He didn't know what happened when Zhu Houzhao summoned him at this time, but he still packed up a little and rushed to the Nourishing Heart Hall.
Yangxin Hall was the place where the emperor rested. If he summoned courtiers, it would usually be in formal occasions such as Wuying Hall. Chu Yi was a chamberlain and could travel freely in the inner court, so most of Zhu Houzhao's summons were in Yangxin Hall.
As soon as I approached the Yangxin Hall, I heard a burst of hearty laughter. Who was Zhu Houzhao if not today's emperor?
Before Chu Yi walked to the palace gate, a young eunuch said in a long voice: "Chu Yi, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Envoy Dongchang Official School, comes to see you."
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and then Zhu Houzhao said: "Pass."
Chu Yi walked into the main hall and happened to see Liu Jin, who was smiling with a wrinkled face, accompanying Zhu Houzhao. Gu Dayong, who was beside him, looked a little ugly.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Chu Yi could roughly tell that Gu Dayong must have suffered some loss, otherwise he would never have that look.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao put down the brush in his hand, waved to Chu Yi and said: "I heard that you are going to Dongchang today. How about it? Everything went well."
Chu Yi said with a smile: "Thanks to your majesty's great blessings and your majesty's divine power, everything will go smoothly."
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "I will leave the East Factory to you, and you can just do whatever you want. If you have any difficulties, just raise them and I will help you solve them."
Chu Yi looked grateful and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Chu Yi will be shattered into pieces to repay Your Majesty."
After waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao waved to Chu Yi and said, "Come here, help me take a look. What do you think of my picture of roaring tigers and mountains and forests?"
Amid Liu Jin's slightly jealous eyes, Chu Yi walked to Zhu Houzhao and his eyes fell on the table.
Not to mention, although there were many strange emperors in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's education since he was a child was not bad. Although he dare not say that he was proficient in everything, at least his painting skills were pretty good and he would not be unable to meet people.
After pondering for a while, Chu Yi said: "Although your Majesty's painter is still a bit rusty, he painted the momentum of this fierce tiger much better than before."
If ordinary people said to the Emperor's face that there were any flaws in the paintings, they would be asking for trouble, but Chu Yi was not worried at all.
As expected, Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, patted Chu Yi on the shoulder and said, "Chu Yi, you are so bold and bold to speak out. Just now, Liu Daban and Gu Daban had nothing but praise."
Liu Jin looked aggrieved and said to Zhu Houzhao: "I don't know how to calligraphy and painting. In my eyes, your majesty's picture of roaring tigers and mountains is a masterpiece! If your majesty is willing to part with your love and give it to me, I will definitely enshrine it..."
Zhu Houzhao grabbed the painting and threw it to Liu Jin and said: "You old man, take it, I will reward you!"
