Zhu Houzhao finally made a decision about Chu Yi's resignation, and he felt relieved. He was afraid that Chu Yi would suddenly withdraw from the court and let go, so he came to see Chu Yi in person.
Fortunately, Chu Yi did not have such thoughts. Although Chu Yi resigned from the position of Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies and Supervisor of Royal Horse Supervisor, it seemed that he suddenly changed from the general manager in charge of civil and military affairs to an idle person who did not care about worldly affairs.
In addition, Chu Yike was also the King Wu of the Ming Dynasty and the Crown Prince and Tutor. These official positions and titles had nothing to do with the Chief Ceremony Supervisor and the Chief Royal Horse Supervisor whom Chu Yi resigned.
Although it seems that Chu Yi's power has been greatly reduced, the presence or absence of these powers does not have a big impact on Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's power is definitely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this court. Perhaps in the beginning, Chu Yi gradually established his own position by relying on the positions of Governor of the East Factory, Director of Ceremonies, and Director of Royal Horses.
power and might.
However, now that Chu Yi has become powerful and powerful, everyone's fear of Chu Yi has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As for what kind of power Chu Yi holds, few people care.
Now even if Chu Yi resigned from his position as Chief of Ceremony and Chief of Royal Horse Supervisor, can some people really be able to deal with Chu Yi?
Zhu Houzhao, who had untied his knot, sat opposite Chu Yi, looked at Chu Yi with some curiosity and said: "Daban, now that I have agreed to Daban's request to resign, can Daban tell me why?
Do you suddenly have the idea of resigning?"
To be honest, Zhu Houzhao didn't actually believe Chu Yi's previous excuse.
Even if Chu Yi is obsessed with spiritual practice, it seems to have nothing to do with resigning.
Just resigning is enough for Zhu Houzhao to make such a big move. If he really tells Zhu Houzhao the news that he is leaving, I don't know what Zhu Houzhao's reaction will be.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. My cultivation level has reached a bottleneck. If you want to make a breakthrough, you need to calm down and practice.
During this period, I have no time to distract him. Besides, Your Majesty has now gradually taken control of the court. Even without the help of ministers, Your Majesty can handle the affairs of the court with ease."
Chu Yi wanted to say something else, but Zhu Houzhao raised his hand, shook his head and looked at Chu Yi and said: "Since the big companion is unwilling to tell me, then I will not force the big companion. I will wait until the big companion thinks that he can tell me.
I will be informed."
Chu Yi sighed in his heart. His excuse was really unexplainable. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao didn't force him. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
Seeing Chu Yi looking relieved, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face: "It's rare for me to leave the palace, and I don't know how long it has been since I sat down and talked with my companions so well."
Chu Yi sighed when he heard this, looked at Zhu Houzhao with some concern and said: "Yes, your Majesty is busy dealing with government affairs all day long, so you must protect the dragon body!"
Zhu Houzhao stretched his body, smiled at Chu Yi and said: "With Master Shao by my side to supervise me, I have never neglected the Taoist health-preserving methods in the past few years. Perhaps I am not as good as a martial arts practitioner like Da Ban, or an ordinary person."
It’s not bad at all.”
The conversation between the monarch and his ministers lasted for a long time. When the door slowly opened, Gu Dayong, who had been waiting outside, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the open door, and saw Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao walking away.
Came over.
Chu Yi, who was half a step behind Zhu Houzhao, had a bit of a smile on his face. The most important thing was that Zhu Houzhao's expression relaxed obviously, with a smile on his face. As he went out, he said to Chu Yi: "Big companion, these days are very difficult."
Have a good rest, I will come back to find a companion when I have free time."
He was curious about what Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao said in the room. When he suddenly heard Zhu Houzhao's words, Gu Dayong couldn't help but feel a sudden excitement in his heart, and he felt a bit of anticipation.
What does Zhu Houzhao mean by this? What does it mean that Chu Yi is having a good rest these days? It sounds like Chu Yi doesn't have to take care of things anymore. Could it be that...
Just when Gu Dayong was distracted, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, please go back to the palace!"
Gu Dayong was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he noticed that Zhu Houzhao was looking at him. He quickly bowed and said, "I'll make arrangements now!"
That heavy rainstorm came and went quickly. Although the clouds were still the same now, they were not as oppressive. Looking at the situation, it was unlikely that it would rain anytime soon.
Zhu Houzhao's move to leave the palace was very sudden, and the palace may have been in chaos. After all, Zhu Houzhao had no arrangements when he left the palace. If he did not return to the palace, he might alert the Queen Mother.
Chu Yi watched Zhu Houzhao get on the Luan Jia, and the Luan Jia rushed towards the Forbidden City.
Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang and others just got up from the ground and looked at Luan Jia as the emperor was leaving, and then at Chu Yi. Wang Shouren couldn't help but said: "General manager, your majesty, he..."
When the emperor came and left together, they were obviously in two different moods. Although they didn't know what kind of exchanges Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao had in that room, they could tell that Chu Yi
The previous rift with Zhu Houzhao has disappeared.
After looking at Wang Shouren, Jiao Fang and others, Chu Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has given permission for Mr. Chu to resign from the post of Chief Ceremony Supervisor and Chief Supervisor of Royal Horse Supervisor!"
"What!"
"Your Majesty, how could he!"
When Jiao Fang and others heard this, their faces suddenly showed a bit of surprise, obviously they didn't believe it.
They could clearly see how much Zhu Houzhao relied on Chu Yi, especially when Zhu Houzhao came in the rain just now. It was obvious that he came here to persuade Chu Yi.
If possible, Zhu Houzhao would never agree to Chu Yi's resignation, but now Chu Yi told them that Zhu Houzhao agreed, how could they not be surprised by this.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and others looked at Chu Yi with envy. With Zhu Houzhao's reliance on Chu Yi, he was actually able to agree to Chu Yi's request.
As the saying goes, if the king wants his subjects to die, they will have to die. This is not a joke.
In a monarchical society, the emperor's intention is an imperial edict. It is obvious that Zhu Houzhao actually does not want Chu Yi to resign. Under such circumstances, he can grant Chu Yi's request. This is how much he values Chu Yi.
I am afraid that in this civil and military dynasty, apart from Chu Yi, there will be no other person in the world who can have such a special status in Zhu Houzhao's mind.
Chu Yi didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces. He just looked at Jiao Fang. Wang Shouren and others said: "My lords, whether your majesty can transcend your ancestors and become a generation of Mingjun and leave a name in history depends on whether you can help me."
Your Majesty has accomplished great deeds that far surpass those of our ancestors."
"General Manager, are you really going to let it go?"
Chu Yi smiled and said with a free and easy look: "As the saying goes, without an official position, you are lighthearted. Now that I am no longer the Chief of Ceremonies, but the Chief of the Royal Horse Supervisor, I no longer need to take care of the affairs of the court!"
Looking at Chu Yi, Jiao Fang couldn't help but sigh softly, and cupped her hands towards Chu Yi and said: "The general manager has made up his mind. Jiao Fang should respect the general manager's choice. Since the general manager wants to take a rest, then I will be like the general manager."
I hope that I will not disturb the Chief Manager with matters concerning the court."
But it was said that Gu Dayong drove back to the palace with the emperor Luan surrounded by people.
Gu Dayong followed the Emperor Luanjia absent-mindedly, always thinking about what Chu Yi and the Emperor had discussed while hiding in the room, and whether the Emperor had agreed to Chu Yi's request to resign.
Others don't know how much Zhu Houzhao relies on Chu Yi, and Gu Dayong doesn't know it either. To say that Zhu Houzhao will agree to Chu Yi's resignation, at least Gu Dayong doesn't believe it.
In the imperial study room, the imperial study room has been cleaned now, everything is tidied, and there is no trace of the mess that Zhu Houzhao made before.
Zhu Houzhao noticed that Gu Dayong had an unusual look on his face. In fact, Zhu Houzhao had noticed this a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Gu Dayong would look like this all the way.
"Gu Daban, what's wrong with you!"
Gu Dayong and Chu Yi are both old men who have been with him for many years. It can be said that when he was the prince of the East Palace in the past, Gu Dayong was the only one who could be his confidant, and Chu Yi is still with him.
around.
Liu Jin was tricked to death early by the civil and military forces of the court. As for the other people, they were stationed in different places to monitor the world for the emperor. The only two people who stayed in the capital were Chu Yi and Gu Dayong.
With Zhu Houzhao's affectionate nature, he would not worry too much about an old man like Gu Dayong.
Gu Dayong came back to his senses and quickly said to Zhu Houzhao: "I have been thinking about Manager Chu just now, but I shouldn't. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I know that you have a close relationship with Chu Daban. Now that Chu Daban has resigned, Gu Daban, you must be as reluctant to part with Chu Daban as I am."
Gu Dayong wanted to tell Zhu Houzhao that he wished Chu Yi would resign from all official positions, and it would be best if he stayed far away and did not let him see him.
What kind of mutual friendship is impossible? It is impossible to have mutual friendship in this life, but if there is a chance, he would not mind stabbing Chu Yi a few times.
However, facing Zhu Houzhao, Gu Da nodded with a sad look and said: "When I think that Chu Yi will leave your majesty, your majesty will be alone in the future, and only old slave will accompany your majesty. Why is Chu Yi like this?"
I have so cruelly abandoned His Majesty that I just want to cry..."
Even though Zhu Houzhao, who had already allowed Chu Yi to resign and was in a much better mood after chatting with Chu Yi, heard Gu Dayong say this, he was originally a little reluctant, but now he is naturally full of dissatisfaction.
Feelings of abandonment welled up in my heart, and finally turned into a long sigh: "Although I don't want to give up my partner, I also respect my partner's choice..."
"What, Your Majesty... you didn't really agree to Chu Yi's resignation, did you?"
