After pondering for a while, Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said: "So, it will take at least half a year for Daban to implement the new tax!"
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it will take at least half a year for the Beijing camp to be reorganized before it can initially form combat strength. Only then will I prepare to implement new taxes."
Zhu Houzhao took a long breath and said: "Okay, since the big companion's heart is like a clear mirror, I won't say anything more, as long as the big companion knows what's in his heart."
If Chu Yi wanted to implement new taxes immediately without any preparation, Zhu Houzhao would not agree even if it was for the sake of Chu Yi's safety.
Now it seems that Chu Yi is very organized in his mind. He is obviously not a person who acts rashly, so naturally he doesn't have anything to worry about.
As Chu Yi said, as long as there are hundreds of thousands of elite troops, even if there is any trouble due to the implementation of new taxes, the capital can be as stable as Mount Tai.
Chu Yi saw Zhu Houzhao's reaction in his eyes, raised his hands to Zhu Houzhao and said, "But your Majesty, I am sure that your Majesty will allow me to leave the capital."
"What, why is the big companion like this, where are you going!"
Obviously, what Chu Yi suddenly did was beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectation, especially when Chu Yi actually proposed to leave the capital, which immediately made Zhu Houzhao panic.
During this period of time, the situation in Beijing was chaotic, but because Chu Yi was in charge, everything was suppressed. Even Zhu Houzhao moved back to the Forbidden City from the Leopard Room.
In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, Chu Yi is like the magic needle that fixes the sea. As long as Chu Yi is in the capital, Zhu Houzhao will not panic at all, even if there is a huge chaos.
But now that Chu Yi is leaving Beijing, how can Zhu Houzhao not be shocked?
Even Gu Dayong on the side couldn't help but look at Chu Yi. In Gu Dayong's opinion, now is the time when Chu Yi's power is at its peak. Chu Yi should stay in Beijing to consolidate his power. As a result, Chu Yi suddenly
He proposed to leave Beijing, which is hard to understand.
Chu Yi was not surprised at all that Zhu Houzhao had such a big reaction. He stepped forward and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, let me finish what I have to say."
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said, "Sir, please tell me, if you don't have a reasonable explanation to convince me, I will not allow you to leave the capital."
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the two assassins you captured earlier?"
Zhu Houzhao raised his brows and said: "Of course I remember that I had sent people to Dongchang at that time. Could it be that Daban has already found out their identities?"
Vaguely, Zhu Houzhao felt that Chu Yi's departure from the capital might have something to do with the two assassins. Otherwise, Chu Yi would not have suddenly mentioned the two assassins.
As expected, Chu Yi was heard saying: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have found out the origins of the two assassins not long ago."
Hearing this, a fierce look flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes and he said: "I don't know what the origin of these two people is, but they are so audacious that they dare to assassinate me. Do you think I don't dare to punish their nine clans?"
Chu Yi said calmly: "Your Majesty may not be able to kill these nine tribes."
Zhu Houzhao stared at Chu Yi and said, "Tell me, where are they from?"
Being able to let Chu Yi say this, Zhu Houzhao vaguely guessed the identities of Zhu Han and Zhu Han. There are really people in this world who he cannot kill at will.
Chu Yi bowed his hands and said: "One of them is named Zhu Han, who is a descendant of Zhu Xi, and the other is named Song Yu, who is a disciple of Confucius in Qufu."
"What!"
A look of surprise flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes: "It's actually them!"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "The people standing behind these two people are the world's literati, whether they are from the Confucian family or Neo-Confucianism. Unless your Majesty wants to go against the world's literati, otherwise..."
There was hesitation in his eyes, but Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said: "If I want to kill them, how dare they rebel?"
Chu Yi said disdainfully: "They really don't dare, but His Majesty is afraid that he wants to leave his name in history and be infamy for thousands of years."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but darken his face. Just as Chu Yi said, if he really kills Zhu Xi's lineage and deals with the Kong family, then he will definitely offend the world's literati. If he is not nailed to the shame of history by those people's big pens,
It's weird if it's on the shelf.
Zhu Houzhao felt aggrieved in his heart. He looked up and saw Chu Yi's indifferent look. Suddenly, his heart moved. He looked at Chu Yi and said, "Daban, you can't be..."
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that a monarch cannot do, but I have nothing to worry about!"
Zhu Houzhao still didn't understand what Chu Yi meant. Chu Yi was clearly going to help him deal with the people behind the two assassins.
With a bit of worry on his face, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said: "Daban, if you really do this, you will definitely hate the literati in this world. When the time comes, you will also..."
Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Chu Yi couldn't help laughing. While laughing, Chu Yi said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I killed Chen Qi and those people in Songyang Academy. I have already been hated by those scholars.
Later, I killed so many literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and also killed so many literati in the capital. To be honest, I had already become a thorn in the flesh of those literati. The so-called
I’m afraid my reputation will be gone long ago.”
What Chu Yi said is the truth. Chu Yi has offended most of the literati in the world. Those people can't do anything to Chu Yi, but it does not prevent them from using their words like swords. Thanks to these people, Chu Yi will be an eternity among the people.
The representative of the greatest traitor.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi showed a sneer on his lips and said: "I don't have a good reputation anyway. In this case, let me vent your anger on His Majesty's behalf."
Zhu Houzhao was inexplicably moved when he heard this. He looked at Chu Yi and said: "It will be dangerous for the big companion to go here. I can't let the big companion take risks. So I issued an imperial edict and sent people to capture the descendants of Zhu Xi. Then I sent an order to the Kong family.
Let me give you an explanation..."
Chu Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, no. If the imperial edict is issued, there will be an uproar. Let me go out of the capital and go on a journey."
As Chu Yi said this, he put on a posture of not getting up if Zhu Houzhao didn't agree.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and couldn't help but hesitate. After a long time, he stepped forward to help Chu Yi up. He looked at Chu Yi and said, "Is the eldest companion really going to leave the capital?"
Looking up at Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty should know what my character is. Since I mentioned it, I have naturally considered it, so I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow me to leave the capital."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "That's all, since the eldest companion insists on leaving the capital, I will agree!"
Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. I'm here just to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Unless they want to rebel, otherwise, just those people won't be able to stir up any trouble."
Zhu Houzhao said: "I will sit in the capital and provide support for my great companion!"
After bidding farewell to the Emperor, Chu Yi left the Forbidden City. After returning to Dongchang, he summoned Cao Shaoqin, Qi Hu and others as soon as possible.
In the study, several of Chu Yi's capable men such as Cao Shaoqin, Qi Hu, and Fang Li stood there one by one.
Chu Yi glanced at a few people and said slowly: "Cao Shaoqin, immediately mobilize a group of Dongchang elites, take Zhu Han, Song Yu and others, and follow the governor out of the capital."
After being slightly startled, Cao Shaoqin immediately accepted the order and said, "I'll take care of it right now."
Chu Yi glanced at Qi Hu and Fang Li and said, "You two will accompany the governor out of the capital this time."
Fang Li glanced at Chu Yi, bowed his hands and said, "Supervisor, I'm assuming you don't know where we are going?"
Chu Yi only said to leave Beijing, but did not specify where he was going.
After giving Fang Li a faint look, Chu Yi said: "Jianyang, Fujian!"
“Jianyang, Fujian!”
Fang Li murmured in his mouth, thinking that Chu Yi asked Cao Shaoqin to bring Zhu Han and Song Yu, two assassins to assassinate the emperor. Fang Li suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Chu Yi with a look of disbelief on his face, trembling.
He said in a voice: "Lord Governor...you...you are not going to raid the home of Saint Zhu Xi, are you?"
As a scholar, Fang Li naturally knew that Zhu Xi was born in Fujian and hid in Jianyang, Fujian in his later years. It can be said that Jianyang, Fujian is the ancestral place of Zhu Xi's lineage.
Now Chu Yi was taking Zhu Han, who wanted to assassinate the emperor, and Song Yu was heading towards Jianyang, Fujian Province. Fang Li was not a fool, and he immediately understood what Chu Yi wanted to do.
It was precisely because he had guessed Chu Yi's purpose that Fang Li reacted so violently. He was a descendant of the sage Zhu Xi. Even though he was not as influential as the Kong family in Qufu, his descendants were in Jianyang.
It may not be much worse than Kong's in Qufu.
The most important thing is that the line of Neo-Confucianism is now the dominant school of Confucianism. Seventy-eight percent of the world's literati come from the line of Neo-Confucianism, and they respect Zhu Xi as the first sage.
In this way, we can imagine what kind of influence Zhu Xi's descendants would have in Jianyang, Fujian.
Now that Chu Yi had made it clear that he was going to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan, just thinking about it made Fang Li feel like he was about to faint.
Knocking on the book in his hand, Chu Yi saw Fang Li's expression in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Oh, don't you mean that this governor didn't just go to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, but also went to apologize to them?"
Fang Li took a long breath, his expression changed, and he saluted Chu Yi: "The governor should know Zhu Xi's status in the hearts of the world's literati. If the governor is really detrimental to his descendants, I am afraid he will be reviled by the world's literati...
…”
It was normal for Fang Li to have such a reaction, but Chu Yi looked at Fang Li with a sharp look in his eyes and said, "What if I insist on doing this? Fang Li, what can you teach me?"
Fang Li's body trembled slightly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, he looked up at Chu Yi and said: "If the Governor insists on doing this, then I would like to ask the Governor to eradicate the roots and kill the nine tribes, and absolutely do not leave them behind."
Any future troubles!”
A moment ago, Fang Li was trying to persuade Chu Yi to think twice. However, after confirming Chu Yi's attitude, Fang Li immediately considered Chu Yi and even suggested that Chu Yi kill them all without leaving any hidden dangers.
Qi Hu, who had been standing silently, couldn't help but subconsciously move away from Fang Li. Standing next to Fang Li, Qi Hu felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
Glancing at Fang Li appreciatively, Chu Yi nodded and said, "In that case, you go down and prepare!"
Jiao Fang is in charge of the overall situation in the cabinet, Han Kun, Shi Kui and others are in the army, and the emperor is firmly in the middle palace. Unless someone can rebel in the capital, otherwise, with Chu Yi's arrangement, even if he leaves
If we leave the capital, there won't be any trouble in the capital.
Early the next morning, Chu Yi went to the Forbidden City to say goodbye to the emperor, and many people in the capital saw a group of Dongchang fans speeding out of the capital surrounded by two carriages.
There was no publicity about Chu Yi's departure from the capital, and only a few people in Zhu Houzhao knew about it. Therefore, even if Chu Yi left, no one in the capital noticed that Chu Yi, who usually awes all the officials.
He is no longer in the capital.
It can be said that it is a long way from the capital to Fujian. Chu Yi's trip to the capital was not just to exterminate Zhu Xi's lineage, but more importantly, to weaken the influence of Neo-Confucianism through this method.
If this matter were done by others, no one might dare to do it, and even if they dared, they would definitely not have the deterrent effect.
Just like Fang Li, Chu Yi can guarantee that if he leaves this matter to Fang Li, then Fang Li will definitely do his best, but Chu Yi believes that Fang Li will most likely not be able to handle Zhu Xi's descendants.
Just like the Kong clan in Qufu, the emperor's orders are not as effective as Kong's words in Qufu. Similarly, in Jianyang, Fujian, the influence of Zhu Xi's descendants will not be bad. If Fang Li really dares to deal with Zhu Xi's descendants, Fang Li will not be able to do so.
If you wait, you may be robbed and killed by bandits.
There are people under the Emperor's feet who dare to mobilize troops privately, let alone the land of Fujian where the Emperor is far away. This place is far away from the center of imperial power in the capital. I am afraid that the people may not know who the Emperor is today.
Hudu can gather a group of people and perform a trick of turning good people into bandits for you.
It's a long journey, and it will take at least a month or two to get from the capital to Fujian, no matter how urgent it is.
Huashan
Between the Qijun Mountains, a cluster of buildings looms in the mountains, which is where the famous Huashan Sect is located.
Decades ago, mentioning the Huashan Sect, even Shaolin, Wudang and even the Sun and Moon Sect would generate some respect.
In fact, the Huashan Sect was at its peak of prosperity at that time, with numerous masters emerging from the sect. However, it declined at the height of its prosperity. First, the dispute over swordsmanship caused turmoil within the Huashan Sect, and then came the attack of the Demon Sect. The masters of the Huashan Sect and the powerful members of the Demon Sect perished together.
Since then, only a few big and small cats were left in the huge Huashan Sect, and their status in the world has plummeted.
The Huashan Sect, which used to have dozens or twenty first-rate players, is now barely supported by Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze. Among the next generation of disciples, there is only one Linghu Chong who can barely be considered a second-rate top player.
After returning from the south of the Yangtze River, Linghu Chong was sent by Yue Buqun to go to the back mountain to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, but Ning Zhongze was very puzzled.
