Chapter 541 The Son of Heaven Comes to the Door [1 More]
Suppressing his thoughts, Gu Da carefully picked up the scroll that Zhu Houzhao had knocked over, walked up to Zhu Houzhao, lifted up the table that had been kicked down, and then picked up the memorials scattered on the floor one by one.
Picked it up.
As a close attendant who had served Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years, others didn't know the emperor's temper. If Gu Dayong didn't know it, he probably wouldn't have been able to serve the emperor for so many years.
Although Gu Dayong has never seen such an angry situation, but relying on his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, Gu Dayong understands that Zhu Houzhao is angry at the moment. It can be said that even if he opens his mouth to persuade, he may not be able to persuade him.
What effect would it have? Maybe he would be kicked out like the servants kneeling outside the door by an angry Zhu Houzhao.
If there are no outsiders, then that's fine. There are several servants kneeling outside the key door. If those servants see my embarrassed side, what kind of face will I have?
Therefore, when entering the Imperial Study Room, Gu Da tried his best to reduce his sense of presence and was cautious, fearing that his actions would arouse Zhu Houzhao's anger and become the target of Zhu Houzhao's venting.
When Gu Dayong picked up the memorials and put them neatly, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally angry and depressed, had almost vented his anger. When he came to his senses and saw Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao naturally thought of Chu Yi.
.
Looking at Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "Gu Dayong, tell me why Chu Dayong suddenly resigned from me. Could it be that I did something wrong that made Chu Dayong angry?"
Suppressing the envy and jealousy in his heart, Gu Da opened his mouth with a hesitant look and said: "Your Majesty, Yi Laonu thinks this may be a method of General Manager Chu. After all, those courtiers have made it clear that they are targeting General Manager Chu, so
When General Manager Chu proposes to resign, he may not mean to retreat in order to advance..."
"impossible!"
Before Gu Dayong could finish his words, Zhu Houzhao said with great certainty: "The big companion is not using retreat in order to advance. If it is really a method against the courtiers, then that's it. The key companion is
He really wants to resign!"
It doesn't take the emperor to explain this, but Gu Dayong can actually see it. After all, he and Chu Yi have known each other for more than ten years, and they have some understanding of each other's temperaments.
Chu Yi has always kept his word and has no regrets about his words. Since he resigned in front of the civil and military officials of the court, it means that Chu Yi is not joking, but really wants to resign.
Although Gu Dayong was a little confused about Chu Yi's sudden resignation and couldn't figure out what Chu Yi was going to do, Gu Dayong was very pleasantly surprised.
He was thinking about how to deal with Chu Yi, but Chu Yi himself took the initiative to resign, how to prevent Gu Dayong from being overjoyed.
Of course, when facing the emperor, it was naturally impossible for Gu Dayong to reveal his emotions. At this moment, he looked at Zhu Houzhao with a confused look on his face: "I am stupid, I really can't understand Chu Yi."
Why did he suddenly resign? You must know that he is now one person below ten thousand people, and his status is extremely respected..."
Zhu Houzhao slammed the desk, frowned and said: "No, I must go to see Da Bian. If I don't understand what Da Ban means, I won't be able to feel at ease for a moment."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, please make arrangements immediately, I want to leave the palace."
Gu Dayong was slightly startled, looked at the sky outside and said: "Your Majesty, the sky outside has changed suddenly, dark clouds are coming over the top, and a heavy rainstorm is about to break out. If Your Majesty goes out now, I'm afraid there will be a heavy downpour before you leave the palace.
It’s about to fall…”
Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly and said: "It seems that no one is willing to listen to my words. In this case, I will go by myself."
Gu Dayong's expression changed after hearing this, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao with a bang and said: "Old slave, I'll make arrangements now, I'll make arrangements now..."
Gu Dayong did not dare to bear Zhu Houzhao's words. He must know that once those words spread, even he would not be able to bear it.
Soon Emperor Luanjia came out of the imperial study and headed straight for the entrance of the Forbidden City.
But at this moment, a cold wind was blowing, black clouds were rolling, and bursts of thunder sounded from far to near. It was early in the morning, but the sky was dark, as if night was coming.
Click, click, dazzling lightning pierced the sky, and then I saw huge raindrops mixed with the strong wind and swept in.
There was a crackling sound, and in the blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down. Apart from a vast expanse of heavy rain, there was no other sight at all between the sky and the earth.
It was like a rain curtain formed by a downpour that obscured everything. There was a blur a few feet away. Especially when the strong wind blew, the raindrops hitting the face were painful.
In the strong wind, the Emperor Luanjia was swaying, but Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the Luanjia, was hit by the heavy rain at this moment, and his regular clothes were wet in the blink of an eye.
Gu Dayong looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was hit by the heavy rain, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the rain is really too heavy, why not take shelter first, and wait until the heavy rain stops, then we can leave the palace..."
In the wind and rain, Zhu Houzhao's uniform was soaked, and water droplets rolled down his cheeks. Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gu Dayong calmly. There was no wave in his eyes, but Gu Dayong was shocked.
Gu Dayong, who was frightened in his heart, quickly lowered his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and screamed at the guards who were carrying Luan Jia: "A bunch of losers, haven't they had enough to eat? Why don't you hurry up? I haven't seen your majesty."
Have you been caught in the heavy rain? If His Majesty catches a cold due to this, please watch your heads carefully!"
The guards quickly sped up, and in a heavy wind and rain, they left the Forbidden City and headed straight for Chu Yi's Prince Wu's Mansion.
Fortunately, the emperor personally decreed that Prince Wu's Mansion of Chu Yi be built on the edge of the Forbidden City. Therefore, it was said that the Forbidden City was only a few miles away from Prince Wu's Mansion. At this moment, except for the heavy white rain, there was no other sight on the streets.
There was no figure to be seen, only the luan driving directly towards Prince Wu's Mansion.
After Chu Yi went to court, he returned to Prince Wu's Mansion accompanied by Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang and others.
Whether it is Wang Shouren or Jiao Fang, they don't understand why Chu Yi resigned from the emperor. After all, their faction is now called the eunuch party outside. Just by hearing the name, you know that Chu Yi is definitely the core of this faction.
If there were no Chu Yi, then this series would have no need or value for its existence.
Now that Chu Yi resigned, without Chu Yi as the core and the backbone of the eunuch party, Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang and others naturally felt a little worried.
Looking at Chu Yi, Wang Shouren looked at Chu Yi solemnly and said, "General manager, with your knowledge, even if I don't tell you, I'm afraid you should understand in your heart that once you resign at this time, it will not be easy now."
I’m afraid that the great situation that just appeared will disappear.”
Jiao Fang said with a worried look on her face: "Yes, Chief Manager, are you just willing to watch and see all your hard work go to waste?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and looked at a few people and said: "Aren't there still you? Even if I am missing, the court will not be in chaos, and the world will still be the Ming Dynasty..."
Wang Shouren frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why should the Chief Steward look around at him? Could it be that the Chief Steward seems to be afraid of the slanderous criticisms from those in the court?"
The only thing everyone could think of was that Chu Yi's move was due to criticism from officials in the court. After all, Chu Yi was so powerful that even a fool could see it. If it were some suspicious emperor, such as Chu Yi,
With such great power in his hands, Yi is afraid that something will not end well for him.
But in their hearts, everyone did not want to believe that Chu Yi would be afraid of the criticism of these officials. They could clearly see the relationship between Chu Yi and the emperor and the relationship between the emperor and his ministers. To say that Zhu Houzhao would be suspicious,
If Chu Yi is too powerful, this is unlikely.
It is obviously impossible for Chu Yi to tell everyone the real reason for his resignation. Otherwise, once everyone knows that he is leaving, big trouble will really happen.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi sighed slightly, and had to come up with another reply that he had thought of to deal with the crowd and said, "Everyone, Chu will retreat to the background sooner or later. This country is your Majesty's country after all. The court
There is only one Supreme One above us. As the saying goes, there are no two masters in the sky and no two people. If Chu withdraws, it will only bring benefits and no harm to Your Majesty, Chu or even all of you."
Chu Yi's explanation captures the common psychology of everyone. High power shakes the master. This is a taboo that everyone knows. How can Chu Yi's current power be described by the power of high power and shake the master?
The earthquake master is much stronger. After all, Chu Yi can even dethrone the emperor. Everyone usually avoids this subconsciously, but this time, Chu Yi pointed it out.
Even someone like Wang Shouren couldn't help but his expression changed slightly after hearing Chu Yi's words.
In fact, how come everyone doesn't know this in their hearts, but everyone subconsciously avoids this. After all, the Ming Dynasty is booming now. If Chu Yi leads to such a great situation and falls short of success, no one among them is willing to do so.
have witnessed.
Looking at Chu Yi, Wang Shouren and others looked a little complicated. According to what Chu Yi said, Chu Yi's choice to retreat bravely at this time was indeed a wise way to protect himself. After all, they also knew that the most cruel and ruthless thing involving power struggles has been since ancient times.
In order to fight for the power of the emperor, the tragedy of sons killing fathers, fathers killing sons, and brothers killing each other has been staged countless times. Although Chu Yi has a harmonious relationship with the emperor at the moment, who can guarantee that there will not be any conflicts between the two because of power in the future?
And when conflicts break out, after all, power moves people's hearts.
There was a loud bang, black clouds rolled outside, and heavy rain poured down, but there was silence in the living room. Whether it was Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang, or Yang Yiqing, they didn't know how to persuade Chu Yi for a moment.
After all, if they persuade Chu Yi, then one day once Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao fall out, whether Chu Yi is killed by the emperor, or the emperor is hijacked by Chu Yi, that is not a situation they want to see.
At the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, a luan stopped. Dozens of guards, including Zhu Houzhao on top of the luan, were all soaked by the heavy rain and looked very miserable.
