Chapter 467 The face of the big companion is still to be given!
However, the queen murmured and immediately reacted, with a look of astonishment on her face. She looked at the little prince who fell on the ground, and then at Zhu Houzhao. The queen took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty reminds you.
What's wrong is that I forgot the Taifu's instructions for a moment."
As he spoke, the little prince who was lying on the ground started to cry loudly. His eyes full of tears blinked and he looked at the people around him, as if he was waiting for someone to come forward and help him up.
The plump little prince with a cute look on his face was indeed pitiable at the moment. Although the queen remembered Chu Yi's advice, she couldn't help but look a little distressed when she looked at her son who fell to the ground.
The little prince blinked his eyes and cried a few times, but found that no one around him had any intention of helping him up. As a result, he lay on the ground, stuck out his butt, and got up unsteadily.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the little prince who was getting up staggeringly, and couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face. At this moment, the queen also stepped forward and hugged the little prince, praising: "Your Majesty is really good.
good……"
Looking at the little prince who was able to get up on his own, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the setting sun on the horizon: "It's been nearly half a year, and I don't know what's going on with my great companion in Japan now!"
Japan and the capital were separated by vast oceans. Even though Chu Yi sent people back to the Ming Dynasty several times to report the current situation, they were still separated by vast oceans. It was not uncommon for messengers to sometimes die on the ocean.
At least in the past six months, Zhu Houzhao only received three letters from Chu Yi. However, according to what Chu Yi said in the letter, he sent messengers back to the capital at least six times. It is conceivable that almost half of them failed to reach the capital safely.
.
Although Chu Yi was far away from the capital, there were a number of civil and military personnel assisting the emperor in the capital, and everything was calm in the Ming Dynasty.
There are Jiao Fang, Chen Ding and others in the literature, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and others in the military. It can be said that some of the civil and military officials may have some small thoughts, but the situation is in the hands of Zhu Houzhao, but no one dares to jump out and cause trouble.
.
After repeated killings, and the rebellion of King Ning implicating a large number of officials, it can be said that almost 70% to 80% of the people with double-minded intentions have been eliminated. The remaining people did not dare to reveal the slightest difference, for fear of being exposed.
Being targeted by Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Xichang.
Once they are targeted by Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xichang, the outcome will probably not be much better.
Even though Chu Yi was not in charge of the capital, Zhu Houzhao was no worse than Chu Yi in dealing with people with ulterior motives.
Not long ago, a minister of the Ministry of Industry was found to have embezzled more than 100,000 taels of silver to repair rivers. When the evidence was conclusive and verified, Zhu Houzhao personally issued an imperial edict to have the minister of the Ministry of Industry confiscated his home and exterminated his family, without any hesitation.
.
Even if Chu Yi is in charge of the capital, he may not be able to deal with such officials like this.
Gradually, Zhu Houzhao gained the power of an emperor. Even without Chu Yi's help, he was able to intimidate all civil and military officials.
I don't know when, Gu Dayong walked up to Zhu Houzhao with a slight bow and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news about General Manager Chu Yi!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Oh, has Daban's messenger arrived at the capital?"
He has received news from Chu Yi three times in half a year, almost once every two months. The last time was a month ago. Zhu Houzhao thought that it would be a month or two before he received news about Chu Yi again. He never thought that this time the messenger
It went so smoothly.
Gu Dayong said slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the General Manager sent a fleet back this time, bringing with him the gifts presented to Your Majesty by the General Manager. The fleet docked at Tianjin Wei and will arrive in the capital almost tomorrow."
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "My eldest companion actually prepared a gift for me?"
Zhu Houzhao, who was a little curious in his heart, took a deep breath and said to Gu Dayong: "The fleet docked at Tianjin Wei, so has the messenger arrived in the capital this time?"
Gu Dayong nodded and said: "The person who returned this time is a young general named Yu Dayou. I heard that he is highly valued by the chief executive. This time, he has given the task of escorting the fleet to the other party. I am afraid that this is the chief executive.
I deliberately gave that young general a chance to meet Tianyan!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "A young general? The one whom the senior companion is optimistic about?"
Hearing what Gu Dayong said, Zhu Houzhao was obviously a little curious about this young general. After all, facts have proved that anyone who can fall into Chu Yi's eyes, whether it is Wang Shouren, Xu Tianzuo, Han Kun and others, can
His own ability shows how accurate Chu Yi's vision of people is.
Especially after hearing what Gu Dayong meant, the other party was only a young general. In this case, he was valued by Chu Yi. Zhu Houzhao was almost certain that as long as nothing unexpected happened, the other party would only be a general. Otherwise,
Chu Yi would never let Chu Yi bother so much to pave the way for him.
All fools know that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be sent back to the capital by a general who is on an expedition to meet the emperor. As long as you seize the opportunity and leave an impression in the emperor's heart, you will surely rise to great heights in the future.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, if my prediction is correct, the young general named Yu Dayong may be outside the palace gate at this moment!"
Gu Da looked like Zhu Houzhao had read through his thoughts, and said with a bit of surprise: "Old slave knows that this slave's thoughts cannot be hidden from His Majesty."
Gu Dayong said: "This young general brought a letter from the chief steward to His Majesty, so I asked him to wait outside the palace gate. If His Majesty summons me, I will send someone to summon him. If not, I will send someone to summon him."
So I sent someone to get the general manager’s letter and sent this young general away.”
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said: "Since the eldest companion has promoted this young general, of course I can't lose the eldest companion's face. I will tell you my will and summon the young general Yu Dayou to come see me!"
Outside the palace gate, Yu Dayou, dressed in military uniform, was dusty.
Returning from Japan and crossing the ocean, it can be said that he experienced many dangers along the way. Thanks to the treasure ship he was riding on, which was strong enough to withstand the wind and waves at sea, he successfully arrived in the capital.
When Chu Yi selected candidates to escort the various gold and silver jewelry seized in the past six months back to the capital, Yu Dayou really did not expect that he would be selected by Chu Yi.
Although he knew that Chu Yi valued and admired him very much, Yu Dayou did not expect that Chu Yi would give him such a good opportunity to meet the emperor.
Even now, Yu Dayou clearly remembers the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the generals when Chu Yi named him.
Looking at the palace gate, Yu Dayou must be lying if he said he had no expectations. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but in this era, he was already old enough to start a family.
But Yu Dayou was really not mentally prepared for meeting the emperor. He never thought that he would be able to meet the emperor one day.
With his mind wandering, Yu Dayou stood in front of the palace gate and was a little distracted. When Yu Dayou heard the sound of footsteps and came to his senses, he saw a chamberlain walking towards him with a smile on his face.
The chamberlain smiled slightly at Yu Dayou and said, "General Yu, your Majesty has summoned you. Please come with me!"
Yu Dayou suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart. He took a deep breath, followed the attendant, and slowly walked into the Forbidden City.
The chamberlain had obviously received the order, and probably knew that Yu Dayou was someone Chu Yi valued, so he smiled at each other along the way and introduced some issues that needed to be paid attention to when meeting the emperor, who seemed a little nervous.
These are all related to Zhu Houzhao's preferences. If it weren't for Chu Yi's reasons, how could these emperor's servants take a young general like Yu Dayou to heart.
When Zhu Houzhao summoned Yu Dayou, it was naturally impossible to meet him in the imperial garden, so under the guidance of the chamberlain, Yu Dayou was taken to the side hall of the imperial study.
Soon after the emperor summoned him, Yu Dayou entered the imperial study with his chamberlain.
With his head lowered, Yu Dayou followed the instructions of the chamberlain and entered the imperial study room carefully, and then respectfully saluted the emperor.
Yu Dayou kept his head down the whole time and knelt on the ground. He didn't see Zhu Houzhao sitting there at all, only half of his body.
Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, put down the book in his hand and looked at Yu Dayou.
After just one glance, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nodded secretly.
It has to be said that although Yu Dayou is not very old, he is quite brave by birth. The heroic spirit rushes towards his face, especially the military uniform, which sets off Yu Dayou very well.
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said, "No wonder Chu Daban values you so much. No need to be polite, just get up and answer!"
Feeling a little relieved, Yu Dayou paid homage to the Emperor and then stood up. The corner of his eyes swept across Zhu Houzhao, and he finally saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance clearly.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to have noticed Yu Dayou's little movements, smiled slightly, looked at Yu Dayou and said: "General Yu, would you like to tell me what happened after my companion led his army into Japan?"
Although Chu Yi sent messengers back to Beijing several times, and Zhu Houzhao had some understanding of what happened in Japan, the news in the letters was obviously dead. Zhu Houzhao wanted to hear what Yu Dayou, who had returned from Japan, had to say.
What happened in Japan.
Yu Dayou nodded slightly and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, let me start with the story that a few days before landing in Japan, our Ming navy rescued several Ming merchant ships that were being pursued by Japanese pirates."
Zhu Houzhao himself was a martial artist. When he heard that Japanese pirates were chasing Ming merchant ships, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up. However, Zhu Houzhao just sat there quietly and listened, and did not interrupt Yu Dayou's story at this time.
Listening to Yu Dayou's clear explanation of how the army saved the Ming Dynasty merchant ships, how they landed on Shijian Yinshan, and how they pacified several Japanese countries in just one month.
According to what Yu Dayou said, at the same time that Yu Dayou left Japan and returned to the Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of troops from the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack, completely annihilating several small countries such as Anyi Kingdom and Izumo Kingdom, and harvested a large number of seizures.
Although it was said that almost a month ago, Zhu Houzhao had already learned from letters sent by messengers that Chu Yi led an army to destroy several countries in Japan.
Sitting there, Zhu Houzhao listened with great interest, especially since the protagonist of the story was a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Houzhao had not been worried about his identity, he would have already applauded.
After taking a sip of tea, Yu Dayou finally said to Zhu Houzhao: "The general has been ordered by the general manager to escort the confiscated treasures of several countries and present them to His Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said: "My eldest companion is very thoughtful, but I don't know that my eldest companion is sending you back this time. Apart from escorting the captured trophies, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Yu Dayou took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "This is the letter that the general manager has told me to pass on to your majesty. I ask your majesty to read it."
Gu Dayong stepped forward and took the letter from Yu Dayou, and then presented it to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao opened the letter and glanced at it.
morning
This time it was not an ordinary morning court, but a grand court meeting. Almost all civil and military officials were present. The huge Jinluan Hall was filled with darkness and densely packed with civil and military officials.
Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the dragon chair, and his eyes were full of majesty as he glanced at the people below. Gu Da, who was standing at the head of Zhu Houzhao, said in a sharp voice: "If you have something to do, leave the court if there is nothing!"
After Gu Da finished speaking, he saw a supervisory censor stepping forward and saying to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching the Minister of the Ministry of War. Taking advantage of the new army's replacement of weapons, he embezzled tens of thousands of taels of money."
Wang Min, the Minister of War, who was among the civil and military officials, immediately changed his expression when he heard this. He obviously did not expect that he would be stabbed in front of the emperor by the censor.
When Zhu Houzhao heard that someone actually embezzled money from the new army to replace their weapons, especially when the amount reached tens of thousands of taels, Zhu Houzhao's expression immediately became extremely ugly.
Among the hundreds of officials, as the Minister of War, Wang Min felt like the world was spinning for a while. At the same time, an angry voice came from the dragon chair: "Bold Wang Min, do you know your guilt!"
Although Wang Min looked pale, he still gritted his teeth and persisted in the face of the emperor's questions and angry shouts, but he did not dare to admit it.
If this was admitted, there would really be no room for maneuver. Seeing how furious the emperor was, Wang Min could imagine that once he admitted it, the fate of the colleague from the Ministry of Industry who had his family confiscated and exterminated not long ago would
I'm afraid this will be his fate in the end.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged!"
Instead of admitting it, Wang Min cried and howled to show that she had been wronged.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao took a deep look at Wang Min, and then turned to Gu Dayong and said, "I have told you that according to my decree, people from the East Factory, Jin Yiwei, and West Factory are here. I want to see if Wang Min loves Qing."
It’s really unjust.”
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Wang Min couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. Whether it was Dongchang, Jinyiwei or Xichang, these organizations were all intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty. Once a violent organization was targeted, it might be investigated.
Bottom up.
With a bang, Wang Min knew that once the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei came, there would be no difficulty in investigating his problem. The fact that he was greedy would definitely be found out, and he would be dead in that case.
"Oh, your majesty, please spare my life. Your majesty, I am guilty, I am guilty..."
