Nine hundred and seventieth chapters comfort the emperor
Zhao Xiong has always believed that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, would not be able to tolerate Chu Yi's existence and would definitely try his best to remove the threat of Chu Yi. Therefore, Zhao Xiong was full of hope and even united with a group of people such as Xu Fu.
, pinned the hope of revenge on the emperor.
However, people are not as good as God. They never dreamed that Zhu Houzhao believed so deeply in Chu Yi. They saw the scene in the court.
Xu Fu and Chen Kai were only targeting Chu Yi, and the emperor became furious on the spot. They had never seen Zhu Houzhao so furious.
Zhu Houzhao has always shown himself to be a benevolent king, so when Zhu Houzhao ordered Xu Fu and Chen Kai to be beaten to death in court, one can imagine the shock to people like Zhao Xiong.
Zhao Xiong was kneeling in the ancestral hall at this moment, looking at the tablets, but the fear in his heart could not be eliminated.
The emperor has ordered the Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to investigate Xu Fu and Chen Kai. However, he has been quite close to Xu Fu, and not one person knows this.
Because Xu Fu is the Minister of the First Department, which can be said to be a person of high authority, it is naturally the best thing to have a relationship with Xu Fu, an official with great future. However, at this moment, it is like a reminder.
.
Just when Zhao Xiong entered the ancestral hall, a team of Jin Yiwei, led by a stall owner, appeared in front of Zhao Xiong's residence.
Just standing there, few of the Dongchang fans who were full of evil spirits dared to stop them, let alone the two servants guarding the gate of the Zhao Mansion.
When the two servants saw a group of Dongchang fans appearing at the door, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground. How could they dare to stop this group of menacing men and horses?
Zhu Statou was considered a minor boss in Dongchang. He looked at the two servants with a fierce look on his face, kicked the Zhao Mansion's gate, and destroyed the Zhao Mansion's gate on the spot.
He was kicked out.
A group of Dongchang fans rushed directly into the Zhao Mansion compound under the leadership of Zhu Statou.
The Zhao Mansion is neither big nor small. The commotion caused by these people in the Zhu stall when they broke into the house was not small at all. Zhao Xiong's relatives were frightened and ran out one by one. Some people took advantage of the Zhao Mansion.
He was an official, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person coming was Dongchang Fanzi, he rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.
All fools know that being able to get Dongchang to kill them is not a good thing for them, and the Zhao family may be destroyed because of this.
Zhu Tantou just swept away the frightened Zhao family members coldly. For these family members, Zhu Tantou didn't care at all. His mission here was to arrest Zhao Xiong, Xu Fu's accomplice.
Bring to justice.
"Where is Zhao Xiong?"
The frightened crowd listened to Zhu Statou's question. You looked at me, I looked at you. Everyone stared at each other, not knowing how to answer Zhu Statou's question.
He took out his sword from its sheath and pointed it at one of them. Zhu Tatou shouted: "Are you trying to protect the rebels?"
As a result, these people were so frightened that they paralyzed to the ground after listening to Zhu Tantou's words. Their eyes were blank. How could they answer his words? The title of "rebel" in Zhu Tantou's mouth was too scary.
Those are rebels, especially coming from the people of Dongchang. This almost means that the Zhao family has no chance of turning around.
Looking at everyone coldly, Zhu Gutou waved his hand and said: "Search for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, I will catch the traitor Zhao Xiong."
Immediately, except for the dozen or so fans who stayed to guard the family members, the rest began to search the mansion.
As a court official, Zhao Xiong was almost certainly an official of Xu Hui's party, so Dongchang naturally sent the most capable manpower.
Zhu Baotou is just the leader on the surface, but among the Zhidongchang fans, there is one person who is very eye-catching. It is Xu Ning who accompanied Chu Yi to this Fang Shijie not long ago.
Xu Ning's cultivation has already reached half-step to the realm of heaven and man, and he is only waiting for the opportunity to step into the realm of heaven and man.
It was just a matter of time over a cup of tea. Fanzi who had left as ordered came back one by one to return to Zhu Sta. Apparently, Zhao Xiong was nowhere to be found.
Zhu Baotou couldn't help but frowned. The news they got was that Zhao Xiong had returned to the mansion since he went to court and never went out again. But now, there is no trace of Zhao Xiong. So why?
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and that is that Zhao Xiong is most likely hiding.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Baotou saluted Xu Ning and said, "I hope Master Xu can help me a little bit."
Xu Ning was sent here to prevent accidents. Now Zhao Xiong cannot be found for a while. Of course, this does not mean that the people in Dongchang are unable to find Zhao Xiong, but it will obviously take a while.
However, Zhu Statou was eager to capture Zhao Xiong and bring him back, so in order to prevent any accidents from happening if time went on, he directly asked Xu Ning to take action.
Xu Ning nodded slightly, and with a thought, the huge Zhao Mansion was instantly enveloped by his spiritual thoughts.
With the power of a half-step celestial being, even the slightest movement within a radius of several miles can be sensed, not to mention that it is just a Zhao Mansion.
Soon, the auras of everyone in the Zhao Mansion emerged in Xu Ning's heart, and Xu Ning instantly locked onto a location.
I saw Xu Ning poking at the Champions League, you are here to wish me the best and said: "There is a secret room underground in the study, and Zhao Xiong is in that secret room."
Zhu Baotou was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his hand to Xu Ning and said immediately: "Young men, please catch Zhao Xiong."
Zhao Xiong, who was hiding in the underground secret room, suddenly heard a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps above his head. Soon there was a roar, the door of the secret room opened, and Dongchang Fanzi in robes appeared in front of Zhao Xiong.
In sight.
When he saw several Dongchang fans staring at him with joyful faces, Zhao Xiong sighed inwardly, obviously knowing that he was in doom this time.
"Hahaha, my ancestors are on high, and my unfilial descendants are here to accompany you!"
While speaking, Zhao Xiong actually bumped into the table in front of him.
The desk was made of the finest ironwood and was extremely strong. If it were bumped head-on, it wouldn't be unusual for his head to be broken on the spot. What's more, Zhao Xiong still went to the corner of the table. This time it was really
If they collide, Zhao Xiong will most likely lose his life.
"Want to die? It's simply a delusion!"
There is no one who is not afraid of people being taken away by the Dongchang. There are many people who would rather commit suicide than enter the Dongchang and suffer the torture of the Dongchang. However, there are only a few people who can successfully commit suicide under the eyes of the people in the Dongchang.
Before Zhao Xiong could hit the table, a strong gust of wind struck Zhao Xiong. Suddenly, Zhao Xiong's body stiffened, and he fell to the ground with a thud due to inertia. He only suffered a bruise on his nose and a swollen face.
There was blood flowing everywhere, not to mention how miserable it looked.
Zhao Xiong was arrested, and his family members were also thrown into prison. Don't talk about implicating the innocent. In this era, one person attained enlightenment and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, while one person was guilty and the whole family was implicated.
In Dongchang's view, what Zhao Xiong committed was a major crime of rebellion, so none of the family members of the Zhao family could escape.
Not only Zhao Xiong, but also Yidongchang and Jinyiwei's abilities. Every one of the officials who are close to Xu Fu and Chen Kai has been imprisoned. I dare not say that all of them have been imprisoned. At least most of them have clues.
All the accomplices of the two were captured and thrown into prison.
In just less than a day, the entire capital was in a state of turmoil and chaos. Every mansion was knocked away by the Jinyi Guards and Dongchang troops, and a large number of prisoners and their relatives were taken away.
The entire capital fell into a heart-stopping calm. Of course, those who were worried were only some officials who were close to the two of them. As for those officials who knew better, they sneered and looked on, and the people in the capital did not.
Affected at all, many people even hid in the dark and secretly watched the officials who were captured by Dongchang and Jinyiwei and cheered loudly.
Over the years, under the control of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, few people have dared to harass ordinary people. On the contrary, for the powerful and officials, the reputation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei has become even more fierce.
Therefore, in the hearts of many common people, as long as they keep their peace and keep their own responsibilities, they don't have to fear Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If there really is a Dongchang and Jinyiwei people who dare to disturb the people for no reason, they can even go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei Yamen to beat drums and complain.
In a teahouse, some teagoers were looking excitedly at the officials and their relatives who were captured by the Jin Yiwei in a mansion not far from the teahouse.
"Look, something happened to this dog officer. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Jin Yiwei to come and pick him up personally."
"Tsk, tsk, I don't know what these officials did to provoke the Jin Yiwei to take people all over the city of Dongchang."
A well-informed tea guest now had a somewhat proud look on his face, and whispered to the crowd: "I'm afraid you don't know, but not long ago, an official criticized His Highness King Wu in front of the court.
, trying to drive a wedge between His Highness King Wu and His Majesty..."
"Oh my God, someone would be so bold. If His Majesty and His Highness King Wu are at odds, I'm afraid it will only be us common people who will be unlucky. Are these people trying to plunge our country into boundless chaos?"
The people in the capital have been used to all kinds of storms over the years, so naturally not everyone can be fooled. Some people can be said to be quite familiar with the movements of officials above the court.
The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit folk speech. It is conceivable that when these people gather together, there will be endless topics to talk about.
Seeing the officials being pushed forward by the Jin Yiwei officials, these tea guests couldn't help but show a bit of hatred in their eyes.
The Ming Dynasty can be what it is today, no matter what the officials in the world think or say, but the people in the capital know very well that without Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the Ming Dynasty would never be as prosperous as it is today.
In other words, the great Ming Dynasty today is completely based on the mutual understanding between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. Whether it is Chu Yi or Zhu Houzhao, if one of them has an accident, or they are fighting,
, Ming’s current good situation will definitely come to naught.
Therefore, those officials who tried to alienate the relationship between the emperor and Chu Yi were regarded as heinous people in the eyes of these people, and it would not be a pity to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
In one day, dozens of officials were thrown into the prisons of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Although most of these officials were middle- and low-level officials, people like Xu Fu had done so.
There are actually two people at the level of Minister-General.
The Minister of the First Department can be regarded as a high-ranking official. They never thought that an official of this level would be involved. This made Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun intensify their investigation efforts, trying not to let go of any suspicious person.
person.
In the evening, Chu Yi was playing chess with Zhu Houzhao in the imperial garden. Zhu Houzhao was dressed in regular clothes and sat opposite Chu Yi. He held the chess pieces in his hands and said to Chu Yi with a sigh on his face: "If I remember correctly, the last time I played with the big companion
It must have been a long time ago that we sat together playing chess without any distractions."
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's sighing tone, Chu Yi fell down and sighed softly: "If your majesty wants to play chess with Chu at any time, whether it is to go to Prince Wu's Mansion or summon Chu to the palace, Chu will definitely accompany you."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said: "I take what the eldest companion said seriously! It's best not to make the eldest companion impatient by then."
Chu Yi just smiled.
Wang Zheng stood aside, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was in trance.
There was a rush of footsteps, and Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin were seen walking together. When they saw Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao playing chess there from a distance, the two subconsciously slowed down for fear of disturbing them.
Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi.
As they approached, the two men stood aside with their hands down. They were not in a hurry to disturb the monarch and his ministers who were playing chess. Instead, Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was busy playing chess with great interest, and then said to the two standing there.
: "Cao Shaoqin, Yue Buqun, do you have anything to report to Your Majesty?"
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao raised his head, glanced at the two of them, the smile on his face faded, and a sense of imperial majesty filled the air and said: "How is the matter I asked you two to do?"
Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin looked at each other and saw Cao Shaoqin stepping forward and saying to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have arrested all the accomplices of Chen Kai and Xu Fu and brought them to justice. The interrogation has now been completed and the confessions have been made."
I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at this."
As he spoke, Cao Shaoqin pointed to a box of files carried by several chamberlains. Needless to say, the files in this box were the confessions obtained from the interrogation of the Dongchang Jinyi Guards.
Zhu Houzhao raised his brows. To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was quite satisfied with the efficiency of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. After all, it was not an easy task to do these things well in such a short period of time.
He reached out and grabbed it, and saw a file falling into Zhu Houzhao's hands. As Zhu Houzhao flipped through several volumes of files, Zhu Houzhao's expression became more and more gloomy. Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao threw the file in his hand and snorted coldly.
: "Okay, okay, you are indeed my good minister. Do they treat me like a three-year-old child, or do they think they can control my words and deeds."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's fierce reaction, Chu Yi couldn't help but be curious. What on earth did these officials do?
With a move of his hand, the file that Zhu Houzhao had just thrown out fell into Chu Yi's hands. With a glance, Chu Yi's mouth twitched, and his expression became extremely gloomy. He finally understood why Zhu Houzhao's reaction was
It will be so big.
In fact, in this file, the content of an official's confession was too annoying. According to the official's confession, Xu Fu and others were plotting against him. Chu Yi even targeted Zhu Houzhao.
Xu Fu and Chen Kai's attack on the court was just the beginning. If Zhu Houzhao was not furious, then these people would use their influence to secretly send people to discredit the emperor in the capital and provoke them.
