The five hundred and ninetieth chapters leave a piece of blood [2 more]
Looking at Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward, grabbed Chu Yi's hand, and said with excitement on his face: "Daban, it will be good if you come back, it will be good if you come back..."
Holding Chu Yi in his arms, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I'm really afraid that you will leave Beijing in anger with me..."
Chu Yi said: "I have not yet sailed to the West, and have not watched your majesty become a wise king, so how could I leave you?"
Helping the emotional Zhu Houzhao to sit down, Chu Yi sat next to Zhu Houzhao. It took a while for Zhu Houzhao to calm down.
Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi with a sincere look on his face: "Big companion, I promise you that if you want to sail to the Western Ocean, I will allow you to lead the fleet there. I only hope that your companion will not scare me!"
Chu Yi was moved in his heart, and for a moment, Chu Yi had the urge to stay here, but the existence of the Luck Altar in the sea of consciousness reminded him that he still had a broader world.
Feeling the impulse in his heart at the moment, Chu Yi subconsciously avoided Zhu Houzhao and looked directly at his sincere and expectant eyes. However, he quickly met Zhu Houzhao's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I will not leave your Majesty, but people have their own joys and sorrows.
, the moon waxes and wanes, and your Majesty has to take care of yourself on days when I am not here."
Zhu Houzhao only thought that what Chu Yi was talking about was during Chu Yi's voyage to the West. Although he was very reluctant to leave Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao still assured Chu Yi: "Don't worry, big friend. I once told him that I will surpass him."
Ancestor Zong Yue, I will be the sage king of my generation. In the history books of the future, my name and that of my great companion will be listed in history."
Zhu Houzhao, with a look of longing on his face, said to Chu Yi: "Not long ago, Zhai Luan submitted a memorial. More than a hundred countries in Japan have been completely pacified. Except for a part of the army garrisoned, they are about to return to the court. Even if the companions are to leave,
The journey to the West also requires a period of preparation, so why not wait for Zhai Luan’s army to return, and then sacrifice the prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple with me to sacrifice the past emperors, and then sail to the West with my companions?”
Chu Yi just pondered for a moment and nodded.
After all, it would only be a month before Master Zhai Luan returns to the court. Once he leaves, it will be forever. It would be great to be able to stay with Zhu Houzhao for a while longer.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Chu Yi was also ready to help Zhu Houzhao.
There has been no killing for more than a year. This time, he is leaving this world. Naturally, he no longer has to worry too much. Regarding some hidden dangers, he was originally going to leave it to Zhu Houzhao to take his time, little by little.
But now Chu Yi feels that it is better for him to do these things. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and destroy those that deserve to be destroyed. Even if they have a thousand kinds of notoriety, he will shoulder the responsibility.
The emperor left the palace, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xichang. Such a huge movement naturally could not be hidden from the civil and military officials in the DPRK, and the news naturally spread.
There are different opinions about this matter, but Chu Yi, as the person involved, did not take these rumors to heart at all.
In the morning of the second day, Zhu Houzhao, who had firmly opposed Chu Yi's voyage to the West the day before, issued an order in front of all civil and military officials to order the court to cooperate with Chu Yi to make preparations for the voyage.
Full cooperation.
Many officials who had dissident intentions and wanted to see the emperor estranged from Chu Yi thought that Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao would at least be very unhappy this time. However, as soon as they heard about it, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, bowed his head to Chu Yi.
Already.
When Zhu Houzhao's decree was issued, many officials had a look of astonishment on their faces. Apparently they did not expect that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, would bow his head so easily. I thought that Chu Yi had left the court for so long, but Chu Yi had no intention of Zhu Houzhao.
The influence of Chu Yi has been greatly reduced, but Zhu Houzhao slapped these people in the face with his actual actions, making them realize how much Zhu Houzhao trusted and relied on Chu Yi.
Sanyuan Academy
On weekdays, there was a lot of sound of reading in the academy, but there was a sound of cursing.
"Damn it, Chu Yi, the eunuch, actually wants to go to the West like the Sanbao eunuchs of the past. Don't you know that such an act that wastes people and money will make him infamy for thousands of years..."
"Let him be arrogant. One day, we will stand tall in the court and make him be reviled by all the people..."
The repeated killings were not without any effect. At least the originally arrogant scholars became much more restrained, but they did not dare to criticize Chu Yi in public.
Sanyuan Academy is one of the gathering places for many students of the Confucian Neo-Confucian lineage in the capital. With Wang Yangming's success in the study of mind, he established his own sect within Confucianism, and the title of Taoist ancestor naturally deeply stimulated these scholars who have the right to speak of Confucianism.
.
With the support of the imperial court, Wang Yangming's spiritual studies naturally developed rapidly. In addition, Wang Yangming was branded as Chu Yi, and he was directly classified as a member of the eunuch party by scholars all over the world.
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, it would be strange if scholars of the Confucian Neo-Confucian lineage did not hate Chu Yi and Wang Yangming to the core.
That is to say, he was afraid of being killed by Chu Yi, so he hid in the academy to criticize and curse Chu Yi. If it had been the past, these people would not have blocked the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion and scolded Chu Yi until he was bloody.
Strange.
A famous scholar from the Neo-Confucian lineage glanced at the crowd and said: "Everyone, we just need to persevere. We will surely be able to wait until the clouds clear and the fog clears. By then, we will learn about Chu Yi and Xin Xue.
He will be crushed to ashes..."
"What Li Yang and everyone are saying is that the eunuchs cover the sky with one hand and have great power. We should preserve our useful lives for the future, so we should try not to speak against the eunuchs in public..."
With a bang, the door of the academy was knocked open, and then a group of ferocious Dongchang fans rushed into the academy.
The first person was a stall owner from Dongchang. He had a sinister look on his face and strode over with a long blood-stained knife in his hand.
Li Yang and others couldn't help being shocked when they saw this, and many of them even took a few steps back in fright, looking at the Dongchang Fans who were striding towards them with fear. It was obvious that they were not familiar with Dongchang Fans.
He is not a stranger, and he has already recognized the identity of the person coming.
As a famous scholar, although Li Yang said that his legs were weak and he was covered in cold sweat, under the expectant eyes of the scholars around him, Li Yang gritted his teeth and took a step forward and said to Yan Meng: "In the Great Ming Dynasty, even if
You are from Dongchang, how dare you go on a killing spree and kill our fellow scholars indiscriminately?"
Yan Meng, the third-block head, stared at Li Yang and others with murderous intent in his eyes and sneered: "Li Yang, when something happens..."
"What?"
Li Yang was stunned by Yan Meng's words. His face was full of confusion and shock and he subconsciously asked: "What happened? What did we do?"
Li Yang even subconsciously looked at the other people around him. Could it be that some of them did something against Chu Yi and Dongchang discovered it?
He had just said that he should be patient and wait for the future, but people from Dongchang came to kill him. How could this not make Li Yang confused?
Then I heard Yan Meng sneer and say: "You gathered a crowd to rebel, which is really a heinous crime. Now, by the order of His Highness King Wu, all of you rebels will be captured and brought to justice. If anyone resists, they will be killed!"
"Hiss, slander, this is slander, this is an unfounded accusation..."
"The eunuch, what a vicious Chu Yi, he wants us to die!"
Yan Meng waved his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, and said solemnly: "You guys, kill me!"
After the words fell, Yan Meng swung his sword, and saw a head flying up, blood splashing, and all the scholars were stunned.
"Run away!"
Someone shouted in fear, and most of the dozens of scholars were so frightened that they fell to the ground, became incontinent and smelled bad. Only a dozen people tried their best to escape.
However, what greeted these people was a hail of arrows. The famous scholar Li Yang looked at the few arrows on his body, his eyes full of unwillingness, and his body was nailed to the wall. He twitched a few times and then lost his voice.
In just a blink of an eye, dozens of scholars were killed.
There was more than one situation like this, but everyone who came from the Neo-Confucian lineage and gathered in private was killed. It can be said that hundreds of people were killed in one day.
Not only that, in the capital, every mansion was knocked open by groups of fierce-looking guards in golden robes, and then one official was arrested in embarrassment.
Without the so-called worries, Chu Yi shocked the government and the public as soon as he took action. The long streets of the huge capital were suddenly filled with Tiqi running around.
Chu Yi didn't kill everyone. What he targeted were all hidden dangers left over from the past, such as scholars of the same lineage as Neo-Confucianism. Those who were killed were all those who were keen on the society. As for those who rarely participated in the society
People, even from the Neo-Confucian lineage, were not targeted this time.
As for the arrested officials, dignitaries and even wealthy gentry, they were all officials whose crimes including corruption and bribery were found out by Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang.
In just two days, the number of civil and military officials was reduced to two out of ten, but it was still very shocking. I don't know how many officials went to court in fear, fearing that those ferocious-looking imperial guards would break in at any time.
This time Chu Yi can be said to be ruthless. He showed no mercy to those who deserved to be killed. Not only the capital, but also the local guards were dispatched to catch and kill them for a full month.
, thousands of scholars, officials, gentry, and powerful people were killed and arrested all over the world. It can be said that the world was shocked by it.
The murderer Chu Yi, who was gradually forgotten by people because of Chu Yi's resignation, once again awakened some people's fear of Chu Yi.
Just when people in the world were talking about Chu, the army on the expedition to Japan, led by Zhai Luan, returned to the court.
On this day, Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi led hundreds of officials outside the city gate to welcome the victorious army back to the court. Chu Yi, dressed in a python suit, stood beside Zhu Houzhao. No one within a radius of one foot dared to approach.
