Chapter 749: The seventh thief besides the six thieves
Lin Lingsu looked certain that Chu Yi was going to attack the Queen Mother. Chu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Could it be that he had never thought of attacking the Queen Mother at all, but that the Queen Mother really only had half a year to live.
I'm afraid even if he said that, Lin Lingsu might not believe it.
Although Lin Lingsu himself has a powerful talent as a magic stick, Lin Lingsu can deceive others, which does not mean that he will be easily deceived by others.
He had spent a lot of time convincing Lin Lingsu to go to Prince Duan's Mansion before. Even so, Lin Lingsu would only think that Zhao Xu's death had something to do with him, and would not think that Chu Yi really
Able to predict the future.
However, Chu Yi never thought about asking Lin Lingsu to believe that he could predict the future, because he really did not have the ability to predict the future.
This world itself has exceeded Chu Yi's imagination. As for the death of Zhao Xu and the Queen Mother, it was driven by the general trend of heaven and earth, plus he himself did not have much impact on this world.
But as Chu Yi's influence in this world becomes greater and greater, this world will inevitably change. As for some of the things he knows that may happen in the future, maybe they will change under his influence.
.
Chu Yi didn't spend any words to explain. Anyway, when Empress Dowager Xiang died of illness, Lin Lingsu would understand that he really had no intention of attacking the Empress Dowager.
In the annex where the Imperial City Department and Dongchang are located, Chu Yi is currently training his young eunuchs.
With the disappearance of the Sunflower Ancestor, Chu Yi took out the Sunflower Book and taught it to these young eunuchs under his command. These young eunuchs were selected from thousands of choices. Although each of them may not be considered to have unparalleled qualifications, they are still better than others.
Many people are strong, so by practicing the Sunflower Manual, one by one can master it very quickly.
It has only been a year, and these young eunuchs have made rapid progress, truly demonstrating the strangeness of the Sunflower Book.
A dozen little eunuchs, one by one, in just one year, their cultivation levels have soared to the level of first-class players in the world. You know, if you go further, you will be an innate level expert.
Even in this world, beings in the innate realm can be appointed as commanders in the army.
Seeing the young eunuchs under him working hard to practice the Sunflower Book, Chu Yi couldn't help but frown. He held a volume of books in one hand and lightly tapped the coffee table with the other: "It's too slow, it's really too slow.
!”
There was a burst of rapid footsteps, and before Chu Yi even looked up, he heard a very familiar voice saying: "My dear brother, my dear brother, Your Majesty is summoning you urgently!"
I saw Tong Guan running over with an eager look on his face, he was actually here to deliver an edict from the emperor.
As the emperor ascended the throne, Tong Guanna was very good at maneuvering, but he came into Zhao Ji's sight in a short period of time, and now he has become one of Zhao Ji's confidants.
Chu Yi raised his head, glanced at Tong Guan and said, "Oh, Your Majesty summoned me urgently, did you say anything happened?"
Tong Guan looked around, as if he was on guard against others, and whispered to Chu Yi: "The Queen Mother is probably dying in the palace at the moment, so Your Majesty ordered me to come quickly to invite my dear brother to come.
go."
Chu Yi raised his brows. With Chu Yi's methods and the connections left by Sunflower's ancestors, Chu Yi could be said to have received everything left by Sunflower Book in a very short period of time, the most important of which was
These are the personal relationships that Sunflower Patriarch has left behind in the palace for decades or hundreds of years.
It is precisely because of these personal connections that Chu Yi is able to grasp the changes and trends in the palace at the first time.
Just like now when Tong Guan comes and mentions the news that Empress Dowager Xiang is seriously ill, if it were someone else, they probably don't know that Empress Dowager Xiang's condition is extremely serious, and may be on the verge of death.
At least in the imperial city, except for a few people, not many people knew about Queen Mother Xiang's sudden illness.
During the past half year, Chu Yi did not do anything. He was just immersed in training a group of young eunuchs in the East Factory.
On the contrary, Emperor Huizong, after being surprised at the beginning, put Chu Yi's original so-called prophecy behind him, and even faintly argued with the Queen Mother in the court.
In fact, Empress Dowager Xiang's body has always been in good health and she has rarely suffered from any illness. With the precedent of Empress Dowager Gao, it is not surprising that Zhao Ji can't wait to take back the power from Empress Dowager Xiang.
Even Zhao Ji was prepared to fight openly and covertly with the Queen Mother Xiang. However, the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill, and the illness came on extremely suddenly. In less than half a month, the Queen Mother Xiang became extremely ill.
Difficulty getting out of bed.
Even not long ago, several imperial doctors at the Queen Mother Hospital even politely told the Queen Mother that she was afraid that her life would not be long.
At this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly thought of the prophecy that Chu Yi had said about half a year ago.
First, Lin Lingsu predicted that he would ascend to the throne, and then Chu Yi predicted that his fate as the Queen Mother would not be long. Now both of these have come true.
By this time, Zhao Ji had no doubts about what Chu Yi and Lin Lingsu had said, and he urgently summoned Chu Yi to see him.
In the palace, Chu Yi and Tong Guan entered the palace again.
Zhao Ji, who had just returned from the palace where Empress Dowager Xiang lived, was admiring flowers in the imperial garden, accompanied by several figures.
When Empress Dowager Xiang fell ill, to be honest, Zhao Ji was the happiest person. The Queen Mother Party, headed by Empress Dowager Xiang, suddenly lost its backbone. In a short period of time, Zhao Ji was exiled and demoted.
In a short period of time, the power that was originally given to the Queen Mother was taken back by Zhao Ji. Naturally, Zhao Ji placed his own confidants in many key positions.
At this moment, Cai Jing, who later became the powerful prime minister of Huizong's dynasty, had already appeared at Huizong's side, and was even taken as a confidant by Huizong. In addition to Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu were also by Zhao Ji's side.
Cai Jingsheng had a good appearance, and at first glance he looked like a gentle scholar. At this moment, he accompanied Zhao Ji to enjoy the flowers with a smile on his face. He said intentionally or unintentionally: "Your Majesty, I remember that Chu Yi, the admiral of Dongchang, seems to be the late emperor.
Because of this, the late emperor changed the Department of Wells and Water Affairs into Dongchang, and also gave Dongchang the power to monitor the world and kill first and report later..."
Zhao Ji nodded with a smile and said: "Cai Qing has a good memory. Many officials in the court may not remember the rewards that the emperor made when he was still alive. I never thought that Cai Qing would still remember."
With a calm look on his face, Cai Jing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. The reason why I remember this is because I was also one of the people who impeached Admiral Chu. After all, your Majesty also knows that the power given to Dongchang by the late emperor is too great."
, if it is not restrained, there is no guarantee that it will not mess up the situation between North Korea and China."
Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng looked at each other and heard Liang Shicheng say to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai's concerns are not unreasonable. The power given to Dongchang by the late emperor is too great. If it is not restrained, it will cause serious trouble in the future.
."
As a civil servant, Cai Jing naturally did not want to see the rise of Chu Yi as a eunuch. A Tong Guan and a Liang Shicheng already made him extremely afraid. If there was another Chu Yi, the eunuchs around Zhao Ji would be
The influence is even stronger.
Because Tong Guan had a past experience in the military, the emperor had a tendency to train Tong Guan to take charge of the military. This was obviously an attempt to divide the military power in the hands of civil servants.
In addition to Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, as a eunuch, was also an informant placed by Zhao Ji in the court. He participated in the government affairs of the court. Even as an eunuch, he had the right to participate in and discuss government affairs.
Not long ago, as the emperor, Zhao Ji suddenly issued an order to summon Chu Yi, which had to worry Cai Jing.
The emperor's trust and favor are limited. If one more person shares it, the trust and favor gained by each of them will be diluted.
As for Liang Shicheng, as a eunuch, instead of speaking for Chu Yi, he sided with Cai Jing. This was because he heard that the relationship between Chu Yi and Tong Guan was unusual.
By the Emperor's side, he and Tong Guan were obviously in a competitive relationship. Having Tong Guan as his opponent was enough. If there was another Chu Yi, wouldn't that be causing trouble for himself? So Cai Jing showed his intention to target Chu Yi.
At that moment, Master Liang decisively entered the scene to replenish his shot.
When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but look at Cai Jing, then at Liang Shicheng, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Ji is not a fool. He can create his own thin gold body and leave poems one after another. This is not something that a fool can do.
Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng were obviously giving Chu Yi eye drops in front of him. If he couldn't tell this, then he might as well stop being an emperor.
But Zhao Ji didn't care. Zhao Ji knew very well why Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng targeted Chu Yi.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a power struggle. After all, neither Cai Jing nor Liang Shicheng had ever met Chu Yi before, let alone had any grudges.
Since there is no grudge, the two of them targeting Chu Yi like this can only be due to power struggles.
While they were talking, they heard the sound of footsteps. Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others followed the sound and saw Chu Yi and Tong Guan coming hand in hand.
Especially when they saw Chu Yi and Tong Guan walking together, Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng's expressions changed slightly and returned to normal. They even had smiles like good old guys on their faces.
Chu Yi glanced around and immediately recognized Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, and Wang Fu. If Tong Guan was added to the list, then there would now be four of the six thieves of the future Huizong period.
I just don’t know if I will be labeled as such in the future. Maybe the six thieves during the Huizong period will become the seven thieves.
Such a strange thought flashed through his mind. Chu Yi took a step forward and saluted the emperor: "Admiral of Dongchang, Chu Yi, Duke of Guangyang, pays homage to your majesty!"
