Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three The old minister who encouraged himself [2 more]
And Gu Dayong is obviously one of them. Who doesn't know that among the servants around Emperor Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi is the one who is trusted the most by the emperor. This can be seen just from the fact that Chu Yi is now crowned king by the emperor.
That is the position of a prince. You must know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, since Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, have never been crowned kings.
Putting aside the kings with different surnames at the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yi was definitely the only one in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Some people say that Chu Yi's military exploits are unparalleled, and he even had the feat of recreating the Ming Dynasty. However, even if it was a great achievement, if it were another emperor, it is unlikely that he would be crowned king. However, Zhu Houzhao did his best to defy all opinions.
So it was done.
How much trust is required to make Zhu Houzhao break the rules and make Chu Yi king.
The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao handed over all the military power to Chu Yi, which means that Zhu Houzhao handed over everything to Chu Yi. If Chu Yi has some dissent, I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao may not be able to secure his position.
.
We were all chamberlains, so if we were to say they were equally matched, that would be fine, but Chu Yi was so powerful that he left them all without a trace.
The other chamberlains have long given up the idea of competing with Chu Yi. Who doesn't know how deep the relationship between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao is. If you want to compete with Chu Yi, it is simply useless. If you have that skill, you might as well embrace Chu.
Where are Yi's thighs?
But the same water can support all kinds of people. The other chamberlains never thought of competing with Chu Yi. However, as one of Zhu Houzhao's chamberlains, Gu Dayong was very dissatisfied with Chu Yi being the only one favored by the emperor.
I think back then, Gu Dayong, Liu Jin, Chu Yi and others were selected and placed in the East Palace of Zhu Houzhao, who was still the prince. From that time on, they have been serving Zhu Houzhao.
After all these years, Gu Dayong asked himself how loyal he was to Zhu Houzhao and devoted all his efforts to serving Zhu Houzhao, but he was not even one-tenth as good as Chu Yi.
When Chu Yi was in Beijing, Zhu Houzhao talked about Chu Yi almost all the time, which really made Gu Da jealous.
It took a lot of effort to wait until Chu Yi led the army to go on an expedition. You know, when Gu Dayong learned that Chu Yi had asked to lead an army to Japan, Gu Dayong couldn't help but drink to his heart's content. It was so exciting.
Even when Gu Da used to burn incense and worship Buddha in private, his only wish was that Chu Yi would die in battle in Japan and never come back.
It can be seen that Gu Dayong's face is quite ugly at this moment, so these officials naturally became Gu Dayong's punching bag, and they ridiculed these officials.
Sun Zhong, several veterans of Han Li were not even afraid of the emperor, and even dared to come and ask the emperor to give them an explanation. How could a group of people who considered themselves senior officials take Gu Dayong to heart.
It was fine to be yelled at and reprimanded by the emperor, but now that the emperor had left, Gu Dayong was just a chamberlain. Even if he was the chief chamberlain, they would not take Gu Dayong seriously.
Sun Zhong glanced at Gu Dayong and sneered at Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, it's no wonder that you are also the general manager, but compared to Chu Yi, your so-called general manager is really nothing.
, I just don’t know whether after Chu Yi’s return, whether you or he will be the leader in this palace?”
During this year, Chu Yi was not around. Naturally, Gu Dayong was the leader in the palace. Except for Chu Yi, no one else could match Gu Dayong’s seniority. In this palace, Gu Dayong
It can be said that his words are the most effective. Apart from the emperor, his words are the most effective.
In the past year, Gu Dayong had almost forgotten the existence of Chu Yi, but Sun Zhong's words were like a thorn in Gu Dayong's heart.
Gu Da squinted his eyes, his face changed slightly, he stared at Sun Zhong and the others, and said with a smile: "You don't have to spend your efforts to sow discord, our family will not be fooled. Instead of spending your efforts to plot against our family, why not
Think about your own situation, I think after Chu Yi returns, he will definitely be very interested in several of them."
Some people respected Chu Yi and others were afraid of him, but in general, everyone was more afraid of Chu Yi.
Who made Chu Yi kill so hard and frequently confiscate his family and exterminate his clan? It can be said that Chu Yi's rise was based on the corpses of countless powerful people and tycoons.
In normal years, it would be quite a sensation to confiscate the home of a powerful person, but when Chu Yi was in power, he set a record of confiscating dozens of powerful people's homes in one day. This was really frightening.
My heart trembles when I hear it.
If they hadn't been afraid of being killed by Chu Yi, even they would have jumped out and targeted Chu Yi long ago. However, when Chu Yi was around, no one in the civil or military dynasty dared to stand up against Chu Yi.
That is to say, in the absence of Chu Yi, it seems that the emperor is easier to bully, so he came to force the emperor to take advantage of his status as a veteran of several dynasties, but he never expected that the emperor would react so fiercely.
At this moment, Degu Dayong reminded everyone, and everyone realized that Chu Yi was coming back.
Sun Zhong swayed slightly and his face turned a little pale. That was Chu Yi, the God of Death. Once their actions today were heard by Chu Yi, who knows if Chu Yi would take action on them.
As for excuses, to be honest, after they have been officials for decades, who doesn’t have some problems behind their butts? If they really want to check, not to mention other things, just their hometown and the farmland under their family name that can easily cost tens of thousands, they will
I can't explain it clearly at all.
Gu Dayong turned around and left. The imperial study was in a mess, but Sun Zhong, Han Li and several gray-haired veterans had to kneel there.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Their faces are full of regret. If they had known that this would be the result, they would not have come to see the emperor at all.
An old minister frowned and glanced at Sun Zhong and said: "Brother Sun, there is no problem with the emperor. Your Majesty is generous and kind by nature. Even if he is angry, he will not do anything to me. But that Chu Yi..."
When Chu Yi was mentioned, the eyes of several people showed fear and fear. That was Chu Yi, the God of Death. Once he was targeted by Chu Yi, what would happen? It didn't matter that he was clean. The key was them.
You are not clean at all. Aren’t you looking for trouble?
Han Li gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, don't panic, don't forget, we are all veterans of the court, veterans of several dynasties, disciples and old officials all over the court. Even if Chu Yi is arrogant, he will not dare to do anything to us."
Let’s do it!”
The officialdom is a big network. As the Han officials themselves said, they have been officials for several dynasties and have been officials for decades. They have disciples and former officials all over the world. They are all seniors. There are not many people who are willing to provoke them.
Otherwise, they would not be able to rely on their old age to come to meet the emperor.
After all, many of the officials captured by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were their former disciples and former officials. In addition, Chu Yi was not in the court, so there was naturally less awe. Several old guys gathered together and entered the palace.
Come to meet the Holy Spirit.
Hearing what Han Li said, many people's eyes lit up and said, "Master Han is right. If Chu Yi wants to touch us, we must also consider the reactions of the officials in the DPRK. We are no better than those powerful people.
, enjoying wealth in vain but without the slightest influence, and will be taken down as soon as it is said to be taken down."
Several people discussed it and cheered each other up, which gave them a little more confidence.
Zhu Houzhao, who left the imperial study, felt a little relieved when he learned that Chu Yi would be arriving in the capital tomorrow.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was watching the little prince playing under the service of several chamberlains and maids. He was in a good mood. In addition, the little prince's giggles came, and Zhu Houzhao also showed a bit of a smile on his face.
A chamberlain stepped forward and whispered to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiao Ge and Wang Hua are outside the palace gate asking to see you!"
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, he nodded slightly and said: "Please invite some elders to come and see me!"
Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all when several pavilion elders came together at this time. If Jiao Fang and Wang Hua did not come, Zhu Houzhao would be surprised.
The few people in the royal study are really veterans of several dynasties, with disciples and former officials all over the world. Han Li, Sun Zhong and the others are not bragging about this.
Among the hundreds of officials, two ministers, many foreign ministers, and ministers all have a teacher-student relationship with Sun Zhong and others, and Jiao Fang, Wang Hua, and Chen Ding can be regarded as colleagues with them for many years. As for Yang Yiqing,
Wang Shouren had even listened to their lectures under some of them, so he could be regarded as a teacher and student.
Now Chen Ding, Jiao Fang, Wang Hua, and Yang Yiqing are here together, not because they are willing to wade through this troubled waters, but because they have to come.
Otherwise, once word spreads, I wonder how the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty would talk about them behind their backs.
As the emperor opened his mouth, he soon saw Yang Yiqing, Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren and other cabinet ministers coming together. From a distance, he saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there, and then looked at the little prince, Jiao Fang, Yang Yiqing and others playing in the distance.
They looked at each other, obviously relieved.
When Chen Ding came to see them, hoping that they could enter the palace, they knew from Chen Ding's mouth that Zhu Houzhao was furious, otherwise Chen Ding would not have hurriedly invited them to enter the palace to see the emperor.
After all, from Chen Ding's point of view, Sun Zhong and the others did indeed do something wrong, but who made Sun Zhong and the others have such amazing influence? If the emperor really allowed the emperor to send these people to prison or chop off their heads,
Then Zhu Houzhao's hard-earned reputation as a Mingjun might be gone. Therefore, even for the sake of the emperor's reputation, Chen Ding had to invite Yang Yiqing, Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren and others to join him in the palace.
As they approached, several people saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
