Chapter 437 The day when the teacher returned to the DPRK
The carriages rolled by, and even though they had already been mentally prepared, almost everywhere they passed, happy people could be seen shouting the name of Chu Yi.
It can be seen that this time Chu Yi really shocked the world in one battle.
Regardless of whether Chu Yi was a servant or not, these people, especially those who had experienced the threat of the Tatar tribe, really admired Chu Yi's military exploits immensely.
Chu Yi defeated the Tatars in one battle, annihilated 200,000 Tatar elites, and captured Dayan Khan and other grassland heroes alive.
This is like the leader of a country being captured alive. You can imagine how huge the sensation Chu Yi caused this time.
"Profess the king?"
In a mansion, Fang Yuanli, who was the Minister of Rites, couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. The news came that the emperor wanted to make Chu Yi king, and all the civil and military officials were shocked.
The achievements Chu Yi made this time were indeed rare in a century. It was reasonable for the emperor Zhu Houzhao to reward Chu Yi generously. The key point was that Zhu Houzhao actually wanted to make Chu Yi king, which made these officials unacceptable.
Fang Yuanli frowned and looked at the servant in front of him and said: "Where did you hear this rumor? It is simply ridiculous. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and since Taizu, we have never awarded a king with a different surname. He
Even if Chu Yi has great achievements, it is impossible for him to be crowned king!"
The servant couldn't help but said anxiously: "Master, I heard it right. Now it has been spread in the city. It is said that it was spread from the mouths of several adults after they came out of the palace. Such a big thing
, If it weren’t true, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have spread so fast.”
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuanli didn't really believe it anyway, but Fang Yuanli was also a little worried in his heart. Their presence among the six departments of the imperial court was really low.
However, regardless of whether Chu Yi is crowned king this time, he will definitely not be able to bypass the Ministry of Rites.
After all, when the emperor rewards Chu Yi, it must be handled by their Ministry of Rites, so the Ministry of Rites is definitely a department that cannot be bypassed.
"When I go to see Mr. Chen Dingge, I won't believe that the emperor would agree to such a ridiculous thing."
There are many officials in the capital, and although many officials don't say it, they may have some opinions about Chu Yi in their hearts.
The killings caused by Chu Yi were too great, and many enemies were made invisibly. These people were forced by Chu Yi's power, and naturally they would not dare to do anything on weekdays.
But this time, after the news came out that the emperor was going to make Chu Yi king, these people seemed to have gathered together to add fuel to the flames.
In a mansion, several officials who had gathered together after receiving the news were discussing secretly in the study.
These people are not high-ranking officials in the court, but they are not unknown people. Their official positions are neither big nor small, but they are indispensable. Now that they are gathered together, one of them is heard stroking his beard and saying: "Everyone, the news is about the same.
I can confirm that your Majesty does intend to make Chu Yi king, and the opportunity I have been waiting for has come!"
An official glanced at the official and said, "What Mr. Liu said is true. This time the emperor makes Chu Yi king, it is the great opportunity we have been waiting for."
The official wearing a green shirt and stroking his beard showed a strange look in his eyes and said: "If you want to target Chu Yi, you must drive a wedge between the Emperor and Chu Yi. It is impossible for us to target Chu Yi head-on, so this time Chu Yi
Making Yi king is the opportunity we have been waiting for, so no matter what, we must hold Chu Yi high and must ask the emperor to make Chu Yi king!"
An official said with determination in his eyes: "How much the emperor trusts Chu Yi today, how much he will hate Chu Yi tomorrow. The more powerful Chu Yi is and the higher his status is, then the emperor will fall out with Chu Yi."
That day is getting closer!"
These officials who had resentment against Chu Yi contacted each other through various channels and made up their minds to push Chu Yi to the throne no matter what.
There are also some officials who boarded a big ship like Chu Yi who were imprinted with Chu Yi's mark. They are what they are today because of Chu Yi. Without Chu Yi's protection, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive.
May have the position of power today.
Because of this, these officials were all filled with horror after hearing the news.
These officials naturally knew the dangers of Chu Yi becoming king, so some officials who were attached to Chu Yi rushed to Jiao Fang's residence in a hurry.
In Jiao Fang's mansion, this was not the first wave of people arriving. In less than half a day, several waves of officials entered Jiao Fang's mansion.
In Jiao Fang's mansion, in the huge living room, more than a dozen officials all looked worried. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Naturally, they knew the purpose of coming to Jiao Fang's mansion.
When Jiao Fang walked into the living room, a group of officials quickly stood up to greet Jiao Fang and greeted her.
Jiao Fang motioned for everyone to sit down, took a cup with one hand and took a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "Everyone, come to see me today, is there anything important?"
An official stood up and said to Jiao Fang: "Mr. Jiao Ge, even if we don't tell you the purpose of our coming here, I think Mr. Ge should know it well."
An official on the side took a deep breath and begged: "There are rumors in the capital that Your Majesty wants to make the Chief Manager king. We don't know whether this news is true or not. We came here specially to see Mr. Jiao Ge and asked Mr. Jiao Ge to be our king."
Clear up the confusion!”
As a representative figure of Chu Yi's family, Jiao Fang can be said to be the backbone of everyone. This time there is news in the capital that Chu Yi can be crowned king. For such an important matter, these officials who are attached to Chu Yi can't be more concerned about it.
.
The eyes of more than a dozen officials all fell on Jiao Fang. Jiao Fang slowly put down the tea cup in her hand, glanced at the crowd, and sighed in her heart.
These people obviously realized the harm of making Chu Yi king, so they came to ask for an audience with him. Originally, according to his wishes, like everyone else, they did not agree with making Chu Yi king. However, the emperor obviously paid attention to it.
Determined, all he can do is obey the emperor's will and minimize the impact and harm to Chu Yi.
Jiao Fang was heard to say slowly: "Your Majesty has made up his mind and will crown the Grand Steward as King on the day when the Grand Steward's class returns to the court!"
An official said almost instinctively: "Confused, Mr. Ge is confused. Your Majesty doesn't know the stakes. Doesn't Mr. Ge also know the stakes?"
This official was considered a high-ranking official in the court, so even if he said such words in front of Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang would not blame him.
Jiao Fang looked at the old man with a wry smile on her face and said, "What Mr. An Ran said is true. Unfortunately, His Majesty has already made up his mind. I really can't persuade him."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all sighed.
Even Jiao Fang couldn't dissuade the emperor. It was obvious that Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind.
Seeing the depressed expressions of everyone, Jiao Fang took a deep breath and said: "You don't actually need to worry. The title of king by the General Manager will indeed cause great hidden dangers to the General Manager, but to be disrespectful, the General Manager is
Chamberlain, chamberlain is the king, and the succession of kingship starts from the chief steward and ends with the chief steward. Your Majesty is wise and has a generous temper. We can think of the dangers of being crowned king, but can't your majesty not think of it?"
Hearing what Jiao Fang said, many people were stunned, with a look of surprise on their faces.
To be honest, these people have almost forgotten Chu Yi's origin, and no one even regards Chu Yi as an eunuch.
Thinking about what Chu Yi has done over the years, there is nothing that an eunuch can do, let alone quelling King Ning's rebellion, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops in one battle, and capturing Dayan Khan alive.
The feats of killing heroes all over the world.
If Jiao Fang hadn't mentioned it, they would have almost forgotten that Chu Yi was a chamberlain.
Many people had a look of relief on their faces. What they were worried about was that Chu Yi had great achievements, and now that he was crowned king, if he performed any meritorious deeds in the future, the emperor would not reward him, and I was afraid it would be a disaster.
.
Often when the master's achievements are high and the rewards are unavailable, it is time to break up the reputation and change the dynasty. Either the minister dies or the master dies.
However, as Chu Yi is an eunuch, he has no descendants. Naturally, there is no change of dynasty. As long as Chu Yi does not pose any threat to Zhu Houzhao's throne, then according to Zhu Houzhao's temperament, it does not seem to be difficult for the monarch and his ministers to get along with each other.
.
Seeing the reactions of everyone in his eyes, Jiao Fang said: "Everyone, since your Majesty wants to make the chief steward king, we can't persuade him. We might as well think about how to make amends, even if the chief steward is made king.
, we must also minimize its harm."
Although Chu Yi was not in the capital, the capital was in a state of excitement because of this.
In Xuanfu City, nearly ten days have passed since the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops were captured. During these days, Xuanfu City was also a scene of excitement. However, nearly ten days have passed, no matter how excited it was at the beginning,
Now the entire Xuanfu City has returned to peace.
In the government office, Chu Yi looked at the officials below, led by the Governor of the Five Borders Yang Yiqing, and below were Xuanfu officials and even military generals.
Looking at these people, Chu Yi looked at Yang Yiqing and said: "Governor Yang, I wonder when I can leave to return to the capital?"
Chu Yi had already handed over all military and political matters to Yang Yiqing, so he said he was only waiting for Yang Yiqing's results.
It involves nearly 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of prisoners, plus the big and small things in Xuanfu City. If it were an ordinary official, he would have been driven crazy by such busy government and even military affairs, but Yang Yiqing
However, he handled so many matters without any panic at all.
Yang Yiqing has the talent and learning to become a general and become a prime minister, so Chu Yi left so many things to Yang Yiqing to handle without worrying that Yang Yiqing couldn't handle them.
I could only hear Yang Yiqing bowing his hands to Chu Yi and saying: "Go back to the General Manager and tell me that everything is ready. We only need to wait for the General Manager's order to set off and return to the capital!"
Everyone knows that they have made such great achievements this time, and once they return to Beijing, the imperial court and the emperor will definitely reward them.
Many generals present who had made great achievements during the war could not help but show excitement when they heard this.
They were a little tired of staying in the Xuan Mansion, and each of them couldn't wait to return to the capital, waiting for the emperor to reward them.
A bright light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and he glanced at the crowd, only to hear Chu Yi say: "In this case, we will set off immediately tomorrow and return to the capital!"
"I will obey the orders of the Chief Steward!"
With nearly 200,000 troops and more than 100,000 Tatar prisoners, the mighty team of hundreds of thousands headed straight for the capital.
Hundreds of thousands of people stretched out for more than ten miles, and at a glance it was so dark that there was no end in sight. When the vanguard of the advance army had arrived more than ten miles away, the army at the rear had just left the city.
With so many people on the road, the speed is naturally very slow. At this speed, it may take nearly a month to reach the capital.
Although this speed is very slow, even if you want to speed up, you can't increase it. In fact, there are nearly 100,000 Tatar prisoners in the army.
The number of hundreds of thousands of Tatar prisoners was not a small number. Yang Yiqing even dispatched a full 50,000 troops to guard the Tatar prisoners.
Smoke and dust billowed above the official road, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust wherever it passed. A carriage that did not attract too much attention creaked and slowly moved forward.
If you didn't know, you would never believe that Chu Yi was marching with the army in such a carriage.
In the carriage, Chu Yi was sitting upright, holding a volume of classics in his hand and looking at it intently. Soon, he saw a rush of footsteps stopping beside the carriage.
"General Manager, there is news from the East Factory!"
Chu Yi sat there steadily, without raising his head, and said calmly: "What's the news?"
Yue Buqun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Pingzhi at the door of the carriage, and then Lin Pingzhi handed it to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi only glanced at it and frowned slightly. This letter was sent by Jiao Fang through Dongchang's channel, so Dongchang's channel was very fast, otherwise the secret letter would not have reached Chu so quickly.
In Yi's hands.
Chu Yi read the contents of the letter with a smile on his face.
Sitting opposite Chu Yi was Yang Yiqing, who looked indifferent. Yang Yiqing was very curious and surprised about the letter in Chu Yi's hand, but no matter how curious Yang Yiqing was, he would not ask.
But just as Yang Yiqing was guessing, Chu Yi handed the letter to Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing couldn't help but be stunned, but after reacting, Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and put the letter out of Chu Yi's hands, and his eyes fell on the letter.
Above, Dang even couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he actually wants to make the chief steward king!"
No wonder Yang Yiqing was so shocked. Obviously, even an outstanding person like Yang Yiqing subconsciously rejects the title of king with a different surname. Otherwise, Yang Yiqing would not have such a big reaction.
On the other hand, Chu Yi looked very calm, as if the matter of being crowned king mentioned in Jiao Fang's letter was not a big deal at all.
