The Most Powerful Man in the World

Over time, everyone forgot about the search for Chu Yi. Instead, the focus was on the plentiful loot that the fleets had broken out of those countries overseas.

Suddenly mentioning Chu Yi again, many people's hearts are moved, does it mean that the emperor has not given up yet?

The world is so big, if Chu Yi really finds a place to hide, even if he is the emperor, it would be extremely difficult to find it.

It was obvious that Chu Yi had been missing for so many years. It was almost certain that this was because Chu Yi hid himself and was unwilling to reappear. Otherwise, as long as Chu Yi showed up, the emperor would surely be disturbed.

Wang Yangming, who was sitting there, said slowly, "Your Majesty, King Wu disappeared overseas. Could it be that His Majesty has news of His Royal Highness?"

After all, Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned Chu Yi, and Wang Yangming and others could not help wondering if Zhu Houzhao had found news about Chu Yi again.

After all, Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing were in high positions, and they were still aware of some of the emperor's actions. Not to mention, Zhu Houzhao only stopped looking for Chu Yi a few years ago.

It is said that since it stopped, the emperor has given up looking for Chu Yi's whereabouts.

Everyone else also looked at Zhu Houzhao, everyone had different thoughts, and no one present was unfamiliar with Chu Yi. They admitted that [-]% of the credit for Daming's existence is due to Chu Yi, just like Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and the others. Being able to have today is also thanks to Chu Yi.

Therefore, people such as Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others are naturally grateful to Chu Yi, but veterans like Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu and Ding Guogong Xu Guangzhao, who are on the same break with Daming, have very strong feelings for Chu Yi. complex.

Admiration, fear, hatred, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, it is very complicated.

Over the years, with the opening of the sea, the veterans such as Duke Cheng and Duke Ding seized the opportunity, followed in the footsteps of the imperial court, and made a fortune.

But relatively speaking, the noble status and influence of Duke Cheng and Duke Ding as old-fashioned nobles have been invisibly weakened a lot.

In particular, the emperor sealed a new batch of honors and honors, such as Yang Yiqing, Duke of Jin, and Wang Yangming, Duke of Ang. This group of honors and honors rose by military merit, and each of them was a real wealth. Compared with these disciples. The well-known veteran Xun Guilai obviously wants to have more voice and influence.

Some people hope to find the trace of Chu Yi. If Chu Yi can return to the dynasty, it will be even better.There are also people who want Chu Yi to die outside, even if he doesn't die, it is best not to appear again in his life.

For some people, Chu Yi is their noble person, and for some people, Chu Yi is their enemy.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care what everyone was thinking, he tapped on the table with one hand, and his eyes had a bit of a smile instead of a smile.

Yang Yiqing and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, who were drinking tea, couldn't hold back when they heard the emperor's words.

Even Wang Yangming and the others didn't taste the tea, but they couldn't help grinning, looking at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

Zhu Houzhao saw the reactions of the crowd in his eyes, he didn't care at all, instead he looked at the crowd calmly.

After wiping the water stains on their bodies, Yang Yiqing and the others looked at each other subconsciously and made eye contact.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter, won't it be confused!"

"Who the hell is bewitching Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao's remarks reminded Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing of what Zhu Houzhao told them about Chu Yi a few years ago.

At the beginning, Zhu Houzhao also said about Chu Yi's soaring, but they subconsciously thought that someone was bewitching the emperor, and even secretly investigated for this, but they found nothing. Fortunately, the emperor never mentioned it again. Pass.

What I didn't expect was that after several years, Zhu Houzhao actually raised Chu Yi's soaring words again.

Compared with Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming, they had passed by once, and they quickly reacted. As for Duke Cheng and Duke Ding, it took a while for them to come back to their senses.

Stroking his beard, Duke Cheng couldn't help but said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I don't understand, His Highness King Wu just hides himself from the world, so why is he soaring? Don't be fooled by caution when you go, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Fu, who looked loyal and devoted, was the first to speak.

Zhu Houzhao just glanced at Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu lightly. If it wasn't for his status as Guo Gong Gong and his status with Daming, Zhu Houzhao would not be able to invite Zhu Fu and Xu Guangzhao, the old-fashioned Guo Gong, to discuss matters.

Compared with those honored by the Emperor Taizu and Chengzu, Zhu Houzhao prefers to communicate with the honorable honors he has entrusted to him.

Today, Daming Honors can be roughly divided into Hongwu Honors, Yongle Honors and Zhengde Honors. These are the three major honorary groups of Daming.

Of course, because of the Battle of Jingnan, Hong Wuxungui did not pass down much. Before Zhengde, the honors and honors more referred to Yongle honors.

Back then, Yongle Xungui also relied on his military exploits to rise, but after a hundred years, the descendants of future generations were not up to their expectations, and they were stunned to be the disciples of the Liangliang, but they were crushed by Zhengde Xungui.But no matter what, Yongle Xungui is a group that cannot be ignored.

Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone, stood up, put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and suddenly an invisible pressure rushed towards everyone.

I could only hear Zhu Houzhao saying word by word, "I'm not joking, nor am I confused, I have a certain degree of certainty that Chu Da Compan is really flying into the sky."

Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, and even several old princes naturally didn't believe it. After all, anyone who was rational and normal would not believe what Zhu Houzhao said.

However, the Son of Heaven was so sure again, especially seeing Zhu Houzhao's expression, which was obviously not the kind of bewildered expression.

The most important thing is that everyone knows what the emperor's temperament is. Zhu Houzhao really has a deep affection for Chu Yi, and it is evident that he has been obsessed with it for so many years.

But the emperor's love is true. If there is no accurate news about Chu Yi, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to talk about this matter with them so solemnly.

Could it be that they misunderstood the Son of Heaven?

For some unknown reason, Wang Yangming had such thoughts in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by Wang Yangming.

As a person of cultivation, his cultivation can be said to be unfathomable. The innate peak is already the strongest existence in the world. In all these years, he has never heard of anyone ascending.

Wang Yangming asked himself that Chu Yi's cultivation was very strong, even a few points stronger than he was right now, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't fly into the sky.

It is precisely because he knows that it is impossible to ascend in martial arts, so Wang Yangming firmly believes that there are no ascendants in this world, but anyone who says that must be deceiving.

I have to say that under normal circumstances, there is no problem with Wang Yangming's cognition, and there is indeed no possibility of ascension in this world.

However, Chu Yi is not a person in this world, so naturally he cannot look at and judge from a worldly perspective.

If others can't soar, it doesn't mean that Chu Yi can't do it. Even if Chu Yi uses the altar of luck to soar, it is also a real ascension.

Standing in Wang Yangming's position, Wang Yangming was right, but in Zhu Houzhao's position, with the altar that Chu Yi condensed with millions of luck, Zhu Houzhao naturally believed that Chu Yi had ascended.

With a light cough, Zhang Lun, the British official, said to Zhu Houzhao, "Does Your Majesty really have evidence to prove that King Wu has ascended?"

Hearing what Zhang Lun said, everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao in unison.

Chapter 660 Seven Names and Surnames on the List of Conferred Gods [1 more]

Everyone reacted, yes, since Zhu Houzhao insisted that Chu Yi had ascended, they naturally didn't believe it in their hearts. Just looking at the emperor's posture, no matter what they said, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to change Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

However, when Zhang Lun said this, everyone's eyes lit up, just like what Zhang Lun said, since Zhu Houzhao insisted that Chu Yi had ascended, what is the evidence, if there is no evidence , It is difficult to convince the public based on Zhu Houzhao's words alone.

Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and the others even waited for Zhu Houzhao to be speechless, and then they persuaded Zhu Houzhao to take the world as the top priority.

Today's Ming Dynasty dominates the world, and it can be said that he has created a hegemony far surpassing that of the emperors of all dynasties. He has been in charge of history for thousands of years. Who can compare with Zhu Houzhao's achievements today.

Even if it is said that from now on, Zhu Houzhao has become ignorant and the master of ignorance, it is absolutely impossible to escape Zhu Houzhao's rich and colorful strokes in history.

Of course, these civil and military ministers who are dedicated to shining through the ages, but who are famous in history, see hope, and naturally do not want Zhu Houzhao to suddenly become obsessed with the way of ascension.

Qin Huang Hanwu is a precedent. Although Zhu Houzhao said that the master of Shengming, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be like Qin Huang Hanwu. After all, the pursuit of longevity is a human instinct, especially for Zhu Houzhao's existence.

Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao and hoped that Zhu Houzhao could produce evidence. How will they record these courtiers in the history.

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and was able to sit on the throne for ten years. Although he was assisted by Chu Yi, Liu Jin and others at the beginning, in the years after Chu Yi left, the court was able to be so stable without any trouble. , is it not a reflection of Zhu Houzhao's own ability.

After all, even if there were Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, Han Kun and other civil and military worthy officials to assist in the court, but if Zhu Houzhao was the incompetent and incompetent master, there would be no possibility of today's prosperity in the future.

Zhu Houzhao naturally saw clearly the thoughts of Zhang Lun, Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others, but he did not take it to heart.

Zhu Houzhao also understood in his heart that apart from knowing that Chu Yi really flew into the sky because of the amazing altar that Chu Yi left behind, as for the others, he didn't know the existence of the altar at all, so no matter what he said, It is normal for others not to believe.

If anyone really believed it, then he would doubt it.

But anyone who is so sensible would never believe that someone in this world will rise up. The reactions of Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and the others were all within Zhu Houzhao's expectations.

I just heard Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. When it's time to sacrifice to the sky, everything will naturally become clear. At that time, even if I don't say anything, you will all understand."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's mysterious appearance, everyone was a little confused, everyone, look at me, I look at you, but didn't say much.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao took out a piece of bright yellow silk. This piece of silk was very thick, a thick roll, if it was flattened, it would be at least ten feet tall.

Such a thick piece of silk is very eye-catching on the table. Shao Yuanjie and Wang Zheng are no strangers to this piece of silk. Now they see Zhu Houzhao taking out such a piece of silk. , the eyes of the two of them lit up slightly.

Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and the others looked at this piece of silk, but their faces were full of doubts and incomprehension.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing looked at the piece of silk in front of him with a bit of surprise.

Zhu Houzhao slowly opened it, and the first thing that appeared was a few big characters, Fengshen Bang.

"Forehead……"

Seeing those big characters, especially Yang Yiqing read it out, and said in his mouth: "Fengshen Bang..."

Even if he couldn't see where he was standing, he could still hear Yang Yiqing's words.

Because of this, everyone was confused and sluggish, watching Zhu Houzhao slowly opening the so-called Conferred God List, which was full of tiny characters and densely packed. as much.

Many eye-catching names came into view, including Chu Yi, Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, Han Kun, and others. Everyone saw the names on the silk and reacted.

Yang Yiqing looked at Zhu Houzhao with a bit of excitement and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, could this be the congratulatory text that Your Majesty will prepare when you sacrifice to the sky tomorrow?"

Everyone couldn't help but think of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky tomorrow. When offering sacrifices to the sky, they need to pray to God, so Yang Yiqing asked this question.

Zhu Houzhao just smiled mysteriously, looked at Yang Yiqing and the others and said, "Aiqings may wish to take a look at the details for me. Is there anything missing from this roster?"

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, although Zhu Houzhao did not admit it, in the hearts of Yang Yiqing and others, this roster is the roster to be sealed by the emperor tomorrow when he sacrifices to heaven.

Taking a deep breath, a few people stepped forward, looked at the silk, and saw the name of the minister of Chinese military affairs on the silk.

Among them, Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, were in the forefront, and they were very eye-catching. Everyone saw this and they all sighed at the deep relationship between the emperor and Zhu Houzhao.

If Chu Yi is still alive, then everyone will definitely persuade the emperor to downgrade Chu Yi's name. After all, Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, and even if Chu Yi has contributed to the society, he can't keep pace with Zhu Houzhao.

Especially juxtaposing them in the blessings of sacrifice to heaven, this is the meaning of two people sharing the country.

However, considering that Chu Yi has disappeared in recent years, no matter how the emperor searched, he never appeared again, and everyone realized that Chu Yi had really given up his glory and wealth, and he was not greedy for the red dust. The existence that will not appear in front of them, the emperor wants to give him supreme respect, then turn a blind eye, otherwise if they speak to persuade the emperor, everyone knows the relationship between the emperor and Chu Yi. , if it is not good, it will make the emperor unhappy.

Therefore, everyone's eyes crossed over the two names that were side by side, and then they saw the names of Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, the prince Zhu Zaiji, and the queen.

Especially when Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing saw that their names were tied with the prince and the queen, and even before the two, they were greatly shocked, and at the same time, they were filled with endless gratitude.

This is obviously a manifestation of the emperor's great importance to them, especially the names listed above are before the prince and the queen, which shows that in the emperor's mind, their status and importance are no more than that of the prince. Queen is poor.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Yang Yiqing was nearly sixty years old. Seeing his name ranked before the crown prince, his heart was so moved that the hand hanging down from his sleeve couldn't help shaking slightly.

For example, Han Kun, Zhang Lun and the others said they were a little surprised when they saw the name, but everyone could only look at the two with envious eyes. The two of them can be said to have made outstanding achievements, and their merit is in the society. It is reasonable to be so valued by the Son of Heaven.

Next, needless to say, it is the names of Han Kun, Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu, Yu Dayou and other military generals.

Gradually, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu, and Xu Guangzhu looked a little ugly, because when they saw their names, they were already dozens of people away.

Thinking of their dignified state-owned mansions, dynasties and dynasties, which generation of emperors did not rely on them incomparably.

However, on top of this silk and silk, they were surprised to find that in the eyes of the emperor, these people were not at all comparable to those upstarts.

It's nothing compared to Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming. After all, the merits of several people are there, and even they can't talk about such great merits.

But why are they ranked behind Xu Tianzuo, Yu Dayou, Lu Dazhu, Sun Qiu and others, and even more than a dozen civil ministers are in front of them? Just a simple estimate, these princes are even before them. The ranks of twenty did not enter.

Immediately, Zhu Fu and Xu Guangzhu's faces turned red, and their expressions became a little embarrassed, and Zhang Lun was only in his thirties, so the city government was naturally incomparable to Zhu Fu and several others, and even opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhang family is right. Daming is loyal and devoted to the country, can't even Lu Dazhu and Yu Dayou be comparable to them?"
