Chapter 545: The Peak of Life Cooking Oil with Fire [1 More]
Gu Dayong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He never expected that Chu Yi would suddenly hit him like this. He knelt heavily on the ground. The pain was nothing more. The most important thing was that he was pointing at Chu Yi at the moment.
Xiang Xiang knelt down.
Not far away, several servants from the palace were standing there. Needless to say, these servants were secretly looking in the direction of Chu Yi and Gu Dayong.
The sight of Gu Dayong kneeling down towards Chu Yi made all the servants stunned.
Gu Dayong was one of the most favored chamberlains of the Emperor. Besides Chu Yi, he was Gu Dayong.
When these servants think about it, even if Gu Dayong is not as good as Chu Yi, he is not much worse than Chu Yi.
However, when they saw Gu Dayong kneeling in front of Chu Yi, they reacted so loudly.
Chu Yi held the classics in one hand, raised his head and glanced at Gu Dayong lightly and said: "Gu Dayong, if I were you, I would stay by the emperor's side and do my duty honestly. Your Majesty is important.
A person of love, that’s why I ignore your repeated provocations, don’t force me to kill you!”
Gu Dayong clenched his hands tightly, his eyes were red. If he hadn't known that his strength was not as good as Chu Yi, Gu Dayong would have rushed forward and tore Chu Yi to pieces.
At this moment, Gu Dayong was definitely blinded by hatred. No matter what Chu Yi said to him, he could not listen. All he could think about was how to avenge today's humiliation.
Gritting his teeth, Gu Dayong stood up slowly, regained some sense, but suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at Chu Yi, and turned around to leave.
Chu Yi glanced at Gu Dayong's back and sighed softly.
There are not many old friends from the past who are still in the capital.
Back then, everyone served Zhu Houzhao, who was still the prince, in the East Palace, including Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Liu Jin, Chu Yi and others. But now Liu Jin is dead, Zhang Yong is dead, and the rest are self-aware and know that they are in the capital.
I was afraid that places like this would not be able to escape strife, so I requested the emperor's favor early and went to guard the place.
Chu Yi and Gu Dayong were the only two people left in the capital.
As Chu Yi said before, Zhu Houzhao was a man of great affection. Whether it was for him or for Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao relied heavily on him. That's why Chu Yi let Gu Dayong go under Gu Dayong's provocation.
horse.
Of course, Chu Yi's patience is also limited. If Gu Dayong is stubborn, even killing Gu Dayong may make Zhu Houzhao temporarily upset. Chu Yi can condone Gu Dayong once, but will never condone him a second time.
Second-rate.
There is only one chance, and it should be based on Zhu Houzhao's face and the affection of his former colleagues.
There are no secrets hidden in the capital. When Gu Dayong came out of the palace and rushed to Prince Wu's Mansion, he was stared at by many people.
Everyone couldn't guess why Gu Dayong entered Prince Wu's Mansion, but it didn't stop them from guessing.
Everyone can clearly see the situation in the court. The officials who impeached Chu Yi clearly had the shadow of Gu Dayong. It can be seen that Gu Dayong and Chu Yi completely broke up and started fighting for power.
It’s not surprising that Gu Dayong competes with Chu Yi. Power moves people’s hearts. Gu Dayong himself is not without his own advantages. Although in the eyes of others, Gu Dayong’s fight with Chu Yi is simply to attack a stone with an egg, but he is blinded by power.
Gu Dayong thinks that he may not be worse than Chu Yi.
Everyone was confused by Gu Dayong's actions. Could it be that Gu Dayong's actions against Chu Yi in the court were simply fake? Otherwise, why did he suddenly come to Prince Wu's Mansion to pay homage to Chu Yi?
When Gu Dayong entered Prince Wu's Mansion, he was arrogant and arrogant, but when he walked out of Prince Wu's Mansion, his body was swaying, especially one leg that was limping.
, only the eyes of many people who saw it flashed brightly.
In the palace, in the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao was reviewing memorials. Suddenly he felt something. He looked up and saw a figure walking in with a strange posture. Who could it be if it wasn't Gu Dayong?
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gu Dayong's walking posture, and said to Gu Dayong with a bit of surprise: "Gu Dayong, what are you..."
Gu Da bowed down in front of Zhu Houzhao with a thud, and said with a bit of remorse and guilt on his face: "Your Majesty, this old slave is incompetent and has disappointed your Majesty."
Although he said that he had no hope, when he heard Gu Dayong say this, Zhu Houzhao still sighed with some disappointment and said: "I have known for a long time that the decision made by Chu Dayong will not be affected by others."
He changed it with just a few words, even I can't make him change his mind, that's all, in that case, let's just do what I wish."
After sighing, Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong and said with some doubts: "Gu Dayong, I think your legs seem a bit unkempt..."
Gu Da said with a look of shame: "I begged Chu Yi that he would not resign because of his past friendship. For this reason, I knelt down and begged. I never thought that I could not move Chu Yi..."
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed after hearing the words. His eyes when he looked at Gu Dayong were full of tenderness. He quickly stood up, took a few steps forward and helped Gu Dayong up. He looked towards Gu Dayong with infinite emotion.
Said: "Daban you...why are you doing this?"
Zhu Houzhao himself is a generous and emotional person. Now he learned that Gu Dayong actually knelt down to beg Chu Yi to change his mind, causing him to kneel down and have difficulty walking. How could he not be moved by this?
Gu Dayong stood up smoothly, and there was a hint of pride and resentment in his lowered eyes.
Squeezing out a few tears, Gu Dayong said to Zhu Houzhao: "Old slave, I can't do anything else. I can only hope to use this method to impress Chu Yi. But now it seems that I have disappointed your majesty. Old slave is really
I am so ashamed of Your Majesty."
Gu Dayong is such a good person, but his performance has given Zhu Houzhao a lot of points. Originally, there was only Gu Dayong around him, and only a few people in Chu Yi gained Zhu Houzhao's trust. Now that Chu Yi has resigned, there is a lot of hope.
The attitude of not asking about the affairs of the court naturally made Gu Dayong stand out.
Zhu Houzhao turned around and sat down, and said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, please come and study ink for me. I want to draft an edict in my own handwriting."
Gu Dayong quickly stood up and stood beside the table, bowing slightly, lifting his sleeves with one hand and gently grinding the ink with the other.
With a stroke of Zhu Houzhao's pen, an edict appeared immediately. It was Zhu Houzhao's imperial edict allowing Chu Yi to resign.
It is conceivable that once this imperial edict is spread, it is unknown what kind of waves it will cause in the capital.
Although Chu Yi no longer needs the so-called positions of Chief Ceremony Supervisor and Royal Horse Supervisor to show his identity, after all, they are positions of great power.
One of them wants to fight with his head off.
Although it was known that Chu Yi's resignation was a foregone conclusion, Chu Yi remained the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Chief Supervisor of Royal Horses as long as the imperial edict was not issued.
Now looking at that imperial edict, Gu Dayong's eyes flashed with joy.
Putting this imperial edict aside, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Dayong, how do you think I should reward you?"
Gu Dayong was excited, and when he realized what he was doing, he quickly turned to Zhu Houzhao and said, "How virtuous and capable is this old slave? He does not deserve to be rewarded by His Majesty."
The more Gu Dayong said this, the more Zhu Houzhao appreciated it. In Zhu Houzhao's view, Gu Dayong was just like Chu Yi. They were both people who were not greedy for power. Otherwise, how could Gu Dayong have taken Xichang's people away from him?
The power is given to Yuhuatian.
It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Gu Dayong was not greedy for power, but that he had no other way.
At that time, Chu Yi's momentum was so great that it was unparalleled for a while. At that time, Gu Dayong did not have any capital to compete with Chu Yi. So even if Xichang could be firmly grasped by him, what would happen?
If you don't use it, it's better to give up early, but you can show yourself to be generous.
Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and then said to Gu Dayong: "Since Chu Daban has decided to resign from the position of Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies and Supervisor of Royal Horses, how about I appoint you, Daban, as the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
The Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies is slightly superior to the Chief Supervisor of Royal Horses. Although the two are equally matched, whoever is more powerful will have the advantage.
However, most of the time, the Chief of Ceremonies can always suppress the Royal Horse Supervisor. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone over time, if a chamberlain can become the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, that is the true peak of life.
It's just that since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the position of Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies was first held by Liu Jin, then by Chu Yi, and now it is finally his turn to be Gu Dayong.
So the moment Zhu Houzhao spoke, Gu Dayong felt as if his head was exploding. He couldn't think of what he was going to say. He almost relied on instinct and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Old slave
Thank you, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Gu Da said with a humble look: "In case the old slave is not as capable as General Manager Chu, His Majesty Meng thinks highly of me and has made me the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies. I will do my best to assist Your Majesty in managing the affairs of the state."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gu Dayong and said with a smile: "I believe in Gu Dayong."
Soon Zhu Houzhao's decree was sent to the cabinet. After all, the emperor's imperial edict still needed to be approved by the cabinet before it could take effect.
Of course, this is when the cabinet is strong. Even if the emperor's decree is not approved by the cabinet, the cabinet has the right to reject the emperor's decree.
Today is no different than in the past. Zhu Houzhao can be said to have great power, and naturally he will not be restricted by the cabinet. Therefore, when the decree reaches the cabinet, the cabinet will file it and use it directly.
On this day, several ministers in the cabinet looked at the two decrees coming from the palace. They couldn't help but sigh. They used seals to send people to the Ministry of Rites, and then the Ministry of Rites sent people to communicate with the eunuchs in the palace.
