The Most Powerful Man in the World

"Hahaha, Anguo's public statement is justified! People live forever, grass and trees fall, and what we ask for is nothing but worthy of our hearts!"

After the frames of several old pavilions are the civil and military officials, but the civil and military officials do not have the treatment of several patriarchs. They all follow the frames and move forward slowly.

Many civil and military ministers don’t look very good at the moment, and those who are physically strong are fine, but the old ministers such as Han Li, Sun Zhong, and Lu Zhi are all over sixty years old. Ten miles, that's not easy.

There was still a long way to go from the city gate, Sun Zhong, who was already out of breath, looked at the frame in front of him, and a bit of disdain flashed in his eyes: "I really deserve to be the backbone of the eunuch, and he will be like Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty. The Qin juniper stinks for thousands of years..."

He took a breath and heard Sun Zhongzhi's words, Han Li said: "Brother, don't let your breath down, don't hurt your body, Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing are all the backbones of the eunuchs, my Confucian is unfortunately unfortunate, and it is like this. Shameless generation, the common people in this bright future, the civil and military officials of the court still need such a fixed sea god needle!"

Brushing his beard, Sun Zhong said with a modest look: "Each one another, each other, but I alone can't save the world, it still needs everyone's concerted efforts!"

When the emperor travels, the loess is paved, the clean water is sprinkled on the streets, and this trip is ten miles out of the city.

Walking down the ten-mile road is a bit difficult for those guards, not to mention these civil and military officials who are not diligent in their five bodies.

Han Li and Sun Zhong, who still had enough power to speak out before, were panting and sweating profusely, and were barely standing there with the help of a few guards.

Just when Tian Ziluan and the civil and military officials stopped to wait for news from Chu Yi and the other generals, they saw a faint smoke billowing on the official road ahead, and several messengers led by them were galloping on their horses.

[Four thousand words in the first update, continue to code words, there is one more update. 】

Chapter 520 Your Majesty is getting thinner! 【2 more】

Such movements naturally attracted everyone's attention, and several pavilion elders who were accompanying the emperor raised their heads and looked at the people who came.

The visitor is the envoy of Jinyiwei. Everyone knows that with the arrival of the envoy of Jinyiwei, I am afraid that Chu Yi and others will be here soon.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the Jinyiwei messenger who had fallen to the ground, and his eyes flashed with some anticipation.

He heard the Jinyiwei messenger say, "Report to Your Majesty, the triumphant army of His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived at Shilipu, and it can be reached with a few cups of tea!"

As the Minister of War, Yang Yiqing first glanced at Zhu Houzhao, then stepped forward and said to the Jinyiwei messenger, "Let's explore again!"

Watching the few Jinyiwei messengers leave, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, looked at the smoke and dust that could be seen in the distance, and said with a bit of anticipation: "After the great companion of Chu has been gone for many years, I don't know what the great companion is now. Poor mountains and bad waters, I am afraid that my companion has suffered a lot!"

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming couldn't help but look at each other and smiled wryly. His Majesty is benevolent and intelligent, but he is a little confused and cute when it comes to Chu Yi.

What kind of status is Chu Yi, with a 10,000+ army by his side, no matter how poor the Dongpu is, as the master of the 10,000+ army, it is absolutely impossible to wrong Chu Yi if he wrongs anyone.

Jiao Fang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is merciful. If the Chief Executive knew about His Majesty's thoughts, I don't know how moved it would be!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "If it wasn't for me, how could my partner travel far across the ocean and travel thousands of miles to the land of Dongying. I... I really feel ashamed of my partner in my heart!"

Breathless, Sun Zhong and Han Li, who had managed to recover a little bit of energy, were also veterans of several dynasties, even if the emperor was very displeased with these people, but as I said before, these people are all dynasties. There are many veterans in China, and many students have passed away, even Zhu Houzhao had to show respect for the elderly.

Therefore, the location of the Han officials is actually not far from the emperor, and there are several Han officials after the pavilion elders, but they can hear the conversation between Zhu Houzhao and the pavilion elders.

If it was something else, it would be fine, but when Li Han and Sun Zhong heard what Zhu Houzhao said, their eyes almost fell out.

The civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the emperor favored Chu Yi, but Zhu Houzhao's remarks still made the Han officials feel indignant.

What kind of virtue and ability is Chu Yi, since he can be so favored by the Son of Heaven.

"Eunuch Quan, traitor, Chu Yi won't die, and the light of day will be gone!"

"Your Majesty is confused!"

"Your Majesty Taizu, open your eyes and see, Daming will be destroyed by the eunuch's hands!"

Han Li and Lu Zhi almost screamed, but fortunately, they still kept some sense, but kept their voices low so that no one else could hear them. No matter how good the emperor's mood is, I am afraid that he will be angry with thunder.

As the smoke and dust on the official road in the distance became thicker and thicker, you could gradually see a crowd of black people approaching slowly, and the civil and military officials couldn't help but cheer up.

Although it is said that many officials in the Chinese and martial arts of the court disliked Chu Yi very much, but now above the court, there are also many so-called eunuch officials who are attached to Chu Yi, accounting for almost [-] to [-]% of the hundred officials. many.

Don't look at only [-]% to [-]%, but these [-]% to [-]% officials are important institutions that control [-]% to [-]% of the imperial court, making the emperor firmly control the court in his hands.

Those officials who disliked Chu Yi, on the one hand, pretended to be lofty and disdain to join forces with Chu Yi's eunuchs.

As the saying goes, cutting people's fortunes is like killing one's parents, not to mention losing power. Therefore, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, even if Chu Yi killed waves after wave of murder, there are still many people who can't wait Chu Yi died.

People's hearts pursue profit, as the saying goes, people are for wealth and birds are for food. Even if Chu Yi's reputation is famous, it can't resist the resentment of those people, not to mention that everyone has a fluke mentality, others can't kill Chu Yi, but in case he It was successful.

Seeing Chu Yi coming back victorious, among the civil and military officials, those officials and dignitaries who lost their power or were cut off because of Chu Yi looked at the billowing smoke, and their mood was naturally complicated. However.

They wished that Chu Yi had better just die in the land of Dongying, but after the other party left for a year, he returned with a great victory.

The most critical and most envious of some people is that there is news that Chu Yi has returned with a terrifying trophy.

There were rumors that Chu Yi had brought back 5000 to [-] million taels of gold and silver from Dongpu this time. Such a massive amount of wealth made many people who heard the news jealous.

In the eyes of some people, such a huge and frightening wealth should all belong to them, but because of Chu Yi, it fell into the national treasury and the royal treasury.

The news of Iwami Silver Mountain has already come through the mouths of those returning soldiers after Yu Dayou was in charge of escorting the spoils of war.

A silver mine can actually produce millions of taels of gold and silver in a year, and this is just a silver mine. It is said that there are several silver mines such as Iwami Ginzan.

After the news spread, the entire capital was boiling with excitement. I don't know how many dignitaries and gentry took out gold and silver to buy ships and joined the army of sea trade.

The wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and the tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury had already made many officials red-eyed and black-hearted, corrupt officials, and Zhu Houzhao killed wave after wave, but never killed them.

In those days, the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was so cruel to officials' corruption. Under such high-pressure torture, he still couldn't stop those people's greed.

It is conceivable that in the face of tens of millions of silver taels, I don't know how many people have red eyes, and they can't wait to rush to divide these silver taels.

The earth shook, the smoke billowed, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually came, and a group of people and horses were quickly approaching.

A figure riding a steed is coming, Chu Yi, wearing a cloak, a python suit, and a bun, appeared in the sight of everyone.

"Partner!"

When he saw Chu Yi's figure, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said excitedly.

Chu Yi came on a horse, and when he was near, his eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao, who stood there, protruding from the front, standing under the umbrella of Huang Luo.

Turning over, Chu Yi dismounted, stepped forward and bowed towards Zhu Houzhao: "My minister, Chu Yi, see your majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao took a step forward, and before Chu Yi bowed down, he supported Chu Yi and said with a bit of excitement: "You don't need to bow, your partner, get up quickly, get up quickly!"

Chu Yi got up, looked at Zhu Houzhao, smiled and said, "Your Majesty is thin!"

As soon as Chu Yi said these words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help his nose sour. Resisting the warm current in his heart, he took Chu Yi's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Having separated for more than a year, and separated by oceans, I really miss me!"

At this moment, the soldiers who came back with Chu Yi suddenly stopped. Under the leadership of Yu Dayou and other generals, they all bowed to Zhu Houzhao, and the mountain shouted long live: "Meet Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live, Long Live !"

When he came back to his senses, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, his eyes swept across the thousands of triumphant soldiers, his expression was straight, he took a step forward, flicked his hands slightly, and said solemnly: "All the soldiers have worked hard, get up and don't bow! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Standing beside Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi nodded to Wang Shouren and Jiao Fang.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household, the chief steward of Ming Dynasty's finances, Chen Ding looked at Chu Yi and said with bright eyes, "Sir, what are the spoils of war you mentioned in the memorial?"

As soon as Chen Ding's words came out, everyone looked at Chu Yi in unison. Even Zhu Houzhao, who wanted to say goodbye to Chu Yi, was looking at Chu after comforting the soldiers who had returned triumphantly. Yi.

You must know that in the memorial, Chu Yi mentioned that the spoils brought back from Dongying were worth tens of millions of taels of gold and silver.

If there is such a sum of gold and silver, then Daming will no longer have to worry about financial problems for at least ten years. At the same time, with this sum of gold and silver, the speed of Daming's rapid development will increase again.

A large amount of gold and silver flowing into the market will inevitably lead to inflation, which Chu Yi has had the experience of later generations is naturally clear.

However, the so-called inflation is obviously unlikely to occur in Daming. You must know that gold and silver did not appear as the main circulating currency in Daming. There is no way. Who made Daming lack gold and silver deposits? It is because of the accumulation of so little gold and silver that it simply cannot support its appearance as a currency in circulation.

If it wasn't for this, why would Daming use copper coins as the main currency in circulation?

Even many places in the Ming Dynasty are still in the stage of bartering. It is not because they are unwilling to use currency, but the currency in circulation is seriously lacking, and there is even a shortage of money.

Even if tens of millions of taels of gold and silver flow into Daming, it may have a certain impact on Daming in a short period of time, but the population of Daming is too large and the market is too huge. But there is no harm, but a great benefit.

Chu Yi noticed the eyes of everyone, smiled slightly, and pointed out: "Everyone, look!"

As he spoke, Yu Dayou let out a shout, and saw a group of soldiers who had returned in triumph slowly separated, and suddenly carriages filled with boxes appeared in the sight of everyone. The series of carriages were so neatly arranged that they could not see the end at a glance.

[The second update is here, please support me a lot! 】

Chapter 520: Do You Dare to Bully Your Majesty! 【1 more】

Although it was said that everyone had already known from the memorials presented by Chu Yi that Chu Yi had returned from Dongying with a large amount of spoils.

But the number on the memorial is just a number after all, even if the number is very amazing, how can a light and floating number compare to the powerful impact brought by the real thing in front of you.

The carriages and the boxes filled on the carriages were like a storm for all the civil and military people.

It was just the thought that these boxes were filled with the spoils of war that Chu Yi obtained from Dongying, tens of millions of taels of gold and silver.

Thinking of this, looking at the long carriage convoy with almost no end in sight, I don't know how many people showed shock in their eyes.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi with a look of shock on his face and said, "My companion, are these... are these all trophies? As you said in the memorial, there are tens of millions of taels of gold and silver?"

It's not that I don't believe in Chu Yi, it's just that Zhu Houzhao is a little unbelievable. After all, in the impression of the world, an island country in the Dongying District is nothing more than a barren land.

What kind of wealth can such a small and wild country have, but the millions of taels of gold and silver that Chu Yi sent Yu Dayou to bring back shocked the civil and military people. Now looking at these carriages, Zhu Houzhao is still a little unable to react.

Seeing the reaction of Zhu Houzhao's expression in his eyes, Chu Yi could naturally guess Zhu Houzhao's psychological changes, and smiled slightly: "Has your majesty forgotten the information about Dongying that I once told your majesty?" Zhu Houzhao heard the words He couldn't help showing a bit of a wry smile and said, "I didn't forget it, it was just a little unbelievable for a while."

Obviously, Chu Yi's reaction already showed that these trophies were as large as tens of millions of taels as Chu Yi said.

Standing aside, Chen Ding's eyes flashed brightly, staring at Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, he took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Chief Manager, the old minister is sure that His Majesty will allow these spoils of war to be deposited into the treasury of the Ministry of Household... "

As soon as Chen Ding said these words, several patriarchs all looked at Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.

After all, how the spoils of war are to be distributed depends on Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. If it was in the past, the cabinet was in control, and the emperor was almost empty. Naturally, these spoils of war would go to the Ministry of Households.

But now it is the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi who have the right to speak. How to arrange these spoils of war is to ask Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao first.

If the emperor wants to send some of them into the royal inner treasury, they can't do anything about it. Who would put the power in the hands of the emperor now in the courtroom? Naturally, the emperor can do whatever he wants.

After listening to Chen Ding's words, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, pondered for a while and smiled at Chu Yi: "What do you think I should do?"

Obviously, this is to refer to Chu Yi's opinion, which shows Chu Yi's position in Zhu Houzhao's heart and how much influence Chu Yi can bring to Zhu Houzhao.

Everyone looked at Chu Yi, and Chen Ding stared at Chu Yi even more. This old man was not afraid of Chu Yi. He was a rare official in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. There were signs of gang formation for personal gain, so Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao trusted him, and handed over such an important department as the Ministry of Household to Chen Ding to take charge.

Looking at Chen Ding's posture, if Chu Yi dared to send these spoils of war into the royal treasury, Chen Ding would never agree.

With a light cough, a slight smile flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and he glanced at Chen Ding and said, "Mr. Chen has worked hard to take charge of the Ministry of Households. These trophies are all captured by my Ming soldiers in the Eastern Ying campaign, and some of them need to be It is used to reward and sympathize with soldiers who have made meritorious deeds."

Stroking his beard, Chen Ding nodded and said, "That's right, I will reward soldiers with merit, and the old man will definitely support them!"

Speaking of which, Chen Ding was still staring at Chu Yi. After all, what Chu Yi would say next, Chen Ding couldn't guarantee it, but as long as Chu Yi's reasons were reasonable, Chen Ding would naturally not object.

Then I heard Chu Yi continue: "Among these trophies, there are almost 500 million taels of gold and silver..."

"hiss……"

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, many officials only knew that Chu Yi had brought back tens of millions of taels of silver when he returned, but most of them thought that it was only 2000 million taels at most.

Of course, this number is also very amazing, but apart from a few cabinet elders, no one knows the specific number of these spoils.
