Chapter 558 It is Chu Yi who is harming the old slave!
Originally, Gu Dayong hugged Zhu Houzhao's legs and cried bitterly to admit his mistake, but it made Zhu Houzhao hesitate. After all, it was a relationship that lasted for more than ten years.
Zhu Houzhao is not that kind of violent monarch. In the palace, it is said that the royal family is ruthless. Zhu Houzhao did not lack any warmth in his childhood, but the people who really accompanied him were people like Gu Dayong and Chu Yi.
Personal attendant.
After more than ten years of getting along, even kittens and puppies should have some feelings for each other, let alone a person as affectionate as Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao naturally saw clearly the crimes Gu Dayong committed. If he were to be punished according to the crime, it would not be too much to drag Gu Dayong out and chop off his head.
But Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw Gu Dayong crying, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. If he hadn't brought Gu Dayong to the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, Gu Dayong would have lost his temper.
If Yong had such great power, Gu Dayong wouldn't have done so many wrong things.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Gu Dayong begs the emperor honestly, then Zhu Houzhao may not be so cruel as to kill Gu Dayong.
But the sudden arrival of the 800-mile urgent military report made Zhu Houzhao furious. The feeling of pity he had originally felt because of Gu Dayong's pleading suddenly disappeared, and all that was left was
That full of anger.
Even Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he kicked Gu Dayong because of the information from the Eight Hundred Miles Express. As the emperor, although Zhu Houzhao said he acted a little extravagantly, he would not get angry easily on weekdays.
Gu Dayong was stunned by Zhu Houzhao's kick. Although that kick knocked Gu Dayong down, for Gu Dayong, this kick actually meant nothing.
But Gu Dayong would rather Zhu Houzhao kicked him until he vomited blood and was seriously injured. He could feel the anger contained in Zhu Houzhao's kick.
There was a thump in his heart, and Gu Dayong was completely panicked. If he had some expectations before, now his heart gradually sank.
However, Gu Dayong turned over and crawled towards Zhu Houzhao, trying to hug Zhu Houzhao's legs again, but this time Zhu Houzhao took a step back and stared at Gu Dayong coldly.
Gu Dayong, who had never seen Zhu Houzhao so angry before, was stared at by Zhu Houzhao. He seemed to be frozen, lying there, not daring to take a step forward. He just begged: "Your Majesty.
, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I’m wrong..."
He harshly threw the 800-mile urgent military report on Gu Dayong, only to hear Zhu Houzhao say coldly: "What a good thing you did!"
Gu Dayong looked at the urgent military reports spread out in front of him. The military reports came from the Three Guards of Jianzhou outside the Pass.
Although he said he didn't read it carefully, but he only saw that the military report came from the Three Guards of Jianzhou, Gu Dayong's expression changed. Others didn't know it clearly, but he knew it very well.
Ever since Gu Dayong was appointed as the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies by Zhu Houzhao, all he wanted to do was to compare with Chu Yi or even surpass Chu Yi.
But Chu Yi is not only powerful in the court, but more importantly, Chu Yi has a large number of loyal supporters in the Ming army.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the resumes of the newly promoted nobles in the court, one can see that almost all of them are from the Chu Yi line.
It can be said that Chu Yi's influence in the army was so strong that it even surpassed that of the emperor.
Gu Dayong naturally wanted to control a certain amount of military power. After all, as the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, he not only had to have a group of people cheering for him in the court, but he also had to have supporters locally, especially in the army.
The important area of the Beijing camp was almost made of stone by Chu Yi, especially the commanders and governors of the Beijing camp. Almost all of them were loyal supporters of Chu Yi. Although it was not impossible for Gu Dayong to start from the Beijing camp, it would have to be done.
Facing great difficulties.
Even the emperor's test was difficult, so Gu Dayong naturally shifted his attention outside the capital.
It happened that the imperial court implemented the policy of emigrating to the border, and hundreds of thousands of people left the customs in batches to go to places outside the customs. With so many people wanting to settle outside the customs, it was natural that the army would be needed.
Gu Dayong couldn't move the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp for a while, but he could send his confidants out.
There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, including Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and other big bosses, and the emperor is high above them. Gu Dayong has little room for action.
But when it came to the local level, Gu Dayong's words were more effective than the imperial edict. Several frustrated military generals who were attached to Gu Dayong were promoted one by one to officials of a thousand households in the area.
Outside the pass, more than a dozen newly established guard posts were occupied by Gu Dayong's men.
If these people were really capable, they would not be depressed in the army. However, these military generals accumulated a lot of wealth in the past, relying on bribing Gu Dayong, and through General Gu Dayong.
Transferred himself out of Beijing camp.
Officials with thousands of households in one place are like real local tyrants, especially now that the imperial court is emigrating to the border areas, military and political affairs are parallel, and the imperial court has given these officials with thousands of households a great deal of authority. If necessary, it can be said that
, these thousand-household officials can even make decisions with a single word, and are much more powerful than the civil servants responsible for government affairs.
It is conceivable that these scoundrels in the army who have no ability themselves go to the local areas and drink the blood of the soldiers and even blackmail the locals and squeeze the people.
After all, so much gold and silver was given to Gu Dayong, they always have to find ways to get the gold and silver back, right?
After taking office for just a month or two, these dozen Qianhu officers made the officers and soldiers of Qianhu stations complain one by one, so much so that even the people on the border could not stand their exploitation.
Angry and resentful.
Finally, not long ago, the people in Shibian couldn't stand the oppression of these thousands of officials, so they raised the flag of righteousness and rebelled.
To be honest, these common people's rebellion was just a mob. If the soldiers under these Qianhu officials were a little more attentive, they could easily put down the rebellion.
It's a pity that these Qianhu officials are eager to squeeze out their soldiers one by one. They can only break the bones and suck out the marrow.
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, tens of thousands of soldiers from a dozen thousand-household units were unable to suppress the civil unrest of tens of thousands of people.
The chaos was getting bigger and bigger, and finally the governor official in charge of the three guards of Jianzhou could not suppress it. The news was rushed through eight hundred miles and appeared in front of the Emperor's case.
Zhu Houzhao knew that Gu Dayong had interfered with the Three Guards of Jianzhou. After all, if Zhu Houzhao had not noticed that Gu Dayong had interfered with the army, then he would have done something very inappropriate for the emperor.
After all, it did not involve the Beijing camp, so Zhu Houzhao acquiesced to Gu Dayong's actions. After all, he was also the director of the Supervision of Ceremonies. In addition, Gu Dayong was loyal to him. He never thought that Gu Dayong would control a part of the local army.
It's not good for him.
But Zhu Houzhao never expected that the people sent by Gu Dayong would cause such a big mess.
The civil unrest that originally numbered tens of thousands of people has now spread to hundreds of thousands of people. Even the Jurchens from the Jianzhou Three Guards who had just been suppressed jumped out to cause trouble in the Jianzhou Three Guards.
The embezzlement of river funds caused the river to burst its banks, causing heavy casualties to hundreds of thousands of people. Now it has led to civil unrest and rebellion outside the customs. Zhu Houzhao, no matter how affectionate he was, was completely disappointed in Gu Dayong.
Seeing Gu Dayong's devastated look, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "Gu Dayong, do you have anything else to say?"
At this moment, Gu Dayong, whose mind was already broken, listened to Zhu Houzhao's words and couldn't help but said to Zhu Houzhao with great expectations: "Your Majesty, this old slave is loyal to you, it's all Chu Yi... Yes, everything is Chu Yi,
It's him who is harming me..."
It's okay not to mention Chu Yi. Now Gu Dayong dared to say that Chu Yi harmed him. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said angrily: "How dare you mention Chu Daban? Chu Daban is not greedy for money, not in love with beauty, and is not good at it."
Autocratic power...all these things, how can you compare with Chu Daban? Even if you have 10% of Chu Daban's ability, I will not be so disappointed."
While speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to Qian Ning who was standing there and said: "Qian Ning, send Gu Dayong to the imperial edict and keep him under strict supervision until the three judges will review him and give him the correct punishment."
Qian Ning took a step forward and said respectfully: "I accept the order!"
His eyes swept across Cao Shaoqin and Yu Huatian, and finally Zhu Houzhao said to Yu Huatian: "Yu Huatian, I order you to forward the collected evidence about Gu Dayong to the Ministry of Punishment for support!"
Gu Dayong, who was quite lost at this moment, suddenly heard that the emperor asked Yuhuatian to hand over the evidence of his crimes to the Ministry of Punishment. His expression suddenly changed, his eyes turned red, and he looked at Yuhuatian fiercely. As he spoke,
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said to Qian Ning who was standing there: "Qian Ning, send Gu Dayong to the imperial edict and keep him under strict supervision until the three divisions will review him and determine the correct punishment."
Qian Ning took a step forward and said respectfully: "I accept the order!"
