The Most Powerful Man in the World

After pondering for a while, Chu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. When I go to see some people, Your Majesty will inform Manchu Wenwu."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and his eyes were full of firmness and said: "Chu Dafan knows what he has in mind. Even if you let it go, I will never let Liu Dafan happen again."

It was getting dark, so Zhu Houzhao went back to rest, but Chu Yi took a short rest, meditated for a while, recovered his spirits, and took Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu out of the leopard room quietly.

The capital is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, but it is where the capital is, and some places are still brightly lit. At this moment, Chu Yi and the others are heading straight for the direction of the prison.

Jinyiwei has an imperial prison, the Ministry of Punishment has a prison, and the prison generally detains criminals who are tried by the Ministry of Punishment. The case of Liu Jin has been implicated in many cases. Among them, Liu Jin, the main criminal, has now been beheaded to the public, along with Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian. beheaded.

However, Jiao Fang, Bi Heng, Liu Yu, and Cao Yuan were detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Although the emperor said that Jiao Fang and others had been removed from the posts of patriarch and minister, and they were demoted to commoners, Mao Ji, Hu Ming and others did not let go of the former Liu Jin comrades.

According to their ideas, Jiao Fang and others attached to the robber Liu Jin, which is a disgrace to the literati. Even if the emperor removed these people from their positions, it would not be enough.

That is to say, the main energy of the Punishment Department in the past few days was on Liu Jin, but Jiao Fang and the others were held in the Punishment Department's Heavenly Prison. Otherwise, they would only be in an even worse situation.

The environment in the Heavenly Prison is naturally conceivable. In addition to the important officials of the imperial court who can be detained in the Heavenly Prison, there are also many places where the felons are escorted to the capital.

Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, and Cao Yuan were literati, and they couldn't compare to those sturdy men. They were detained in this prison, and their life was not easy.

Across the fence, Jiao Fang's hair was disheveled and his beard was messy, and there was no place for the old cabinet's demeanor who could compete with the chief assistant Li Dongyang in the past.

No one knows that Jiao Fang is an important figure in Liu Jin's group. It can be said that Liu Jin exerts influence on the cabinet and the outer court through Jiao Fang and others, so I don't know how many people want to kill Jiao Fang and others.

In this heavenly prison, Jiao Fang was not panicked, and he did what he did every day, as if he was not in a heavenly prison.

In the Liu Jin group, Liu Yu was a flattering person who had little ability. He was able to infiltrate the cabinet by fawning on Liu Jin. Now that he has been arrested in the heavenly prison, it can be said that he is in a state of panic.

On this day, Liu Yu said to Jiao Fang in the opposite cell with a face of despair: "Jiao Fang, have you heard what the jailer said, Eunuch Liu has been beheaded and shown to the public, we are finished, finished!"

When they were first arrested, Liu Yu and the others were not really worried. Even if they were worried, they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

They are very aware of the relationship between Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, so they believe that as long as Zhu Houzhao doesn't give up Liu Jin, then even if they are down for a while, there will always be a day when they will make a comeback.

However, after hearing the news of Liu Jin's beheading from the jailer not long ago, Liu Yu felt that the last chance of life was wiped out, and the whole person almost went crazy.

Jiao Fang glanced at Liu Yu lightly and said, "Eunuch Liu's death was only expected, you wouldn't think that those people had wasted so much effort, and even the crime of rebellion was blamed on Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Liu can still live!"

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "But... but Your Majesty he..."

Jiao Fang snorted coldly: "Your Majesty? What can His Majesty do? Could it be that His Majesty can fight against the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?"

With a thud, Liu Yu fell to the ground and said madly: "Hahaha, Eunuch Liu is dead, they will definitely not let us go, die, die, everyone will die..."

Glancing at Liu Yu with pity, Jiao Fang glanced at Bi Heng and Cao Yuan. Among them, Bi Heng was one of the few with talent, knowledge and ability in Liu Jin Group. , In Jiao Fang's opinion, Bi Heng is studious and inquisitive, upright and honest. Among the more than a dozen important officials in Liu Jin's party, only Bi Heng has no greed for ink, and his family has no spare money. He can really be called a good official.

Seemingly noticing Jiao Fang's gaze, Bi Heng nodded slightly at Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang took a few steps forward, sat down against the fence of Bi Heng's cell, and said, "I wonder what Bi Shangshu plans to do in the future?"

Chapter 130 Three Willing to Serve the Governor!

Bi Heng had already noticed Jiao Fang's actions when Jiao Fang came over, and now he heard Jiao Fang's words, a strange look flashed in his eyes and slowly said: "You and I are both members of Duke Liu's party, and now Duke Liu has been put to death. , I'm afraid it should be us next, what else can be said in the future!"

Jiao Fang looked at Bi Heng and said, "What if someone could rescue us from this cage?"

Bi Heng was stunned for a moment, staring at Jiao Fang and said solemnly: "Although Bi is not afraid of death, but if he can survive, who would want to die, it's just that my body has already been branded as an eunuch and my party. , who in the world dares to dare to offend this court's Chinese and military officials to rescue me and so on?"

After roughly understanding Bi Heng's thoughts, Jiao Fang smiled a little and said, "Did Bi Shangshu feel that it was a little abnormal that we were not embarrassed by those prison guards in this prison?"

Bi Heng couldn't help recalling the days after they were thrown into prison. Although the environment was a little worse, there was really no jailer to trouble them.

Even if he has never entered the Heavenly Prison before, he also knows that the Heavenly Prison is definitely not so peaceful, especially these sinners who are in all likelihood difficult to turn over, are definitely the most favorite targets of those prison guards.

They had been in jail for a few days, but they didn't even bother a jailer to look for them.

I didn't care about this before, but now hearing Jiao Fang mention it, Bi Heng immediately realized that there was something wrong with it.

With a move in his heart, Bi Heng looked at Jiao Fang and said, "Could it be..."

Looking at Bi Heng, Jiao Fang said with a bit of a smile: "That's right, because some noble people greeted us, the jailers here don't dare to do anything to us at all."

Bi Heng wondered: "Could it be a certain patriarch?"

Jiao Fang whispered a name, and the moment he heard the name, Bi Heng's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Elder Jiao, you...you..."

Chu Yi's name exploded in Bi Heng's ears. It can be said that Bi Heng was a little stunned when he heard the name of Chu Yi. He never thought that the noble person mentioned by Jiao Fang would be Liu Jin's opponent all along. The factory supervisor, Chu Yi.

Even Chu Yi was forced by Liu Jin to leave the capital and inspected the place. Of course, in the eyes of the very few Jiao Fang and Bi Heng, it was definitely the best choice for Chu Yi to leave the capital to avoid Liu Jin's edge.

Now that Liu Jin is dead in Beijing and Chu Yi is unharmed outside is the most stark contrast.

There were several times when Jiao Fang helped Liu Jin find a way to deal with Chu Yi, but now Jiao Fang has shown that he has caught up with Chu Yi, which really surprised Bi Heng.

Seeing Bi Heng's reaction in his eyes, Jiao Fang whispered: "Actually, I was already attached to the Governor of Chu long before Eunuch Liu recruited me, so Bi Shangshu doesn't need to think that Jiao Mou is unfaithful to Eunuch Liu."

Speaking of Jiao Fang, he said, "Apart from dealing with the governor of Chu, Jiao asked himself whether he was doing his best for Eunuch Liu, but Eunuch Liu is too narrow-minded, and he ruined a good hand of cards by himself. , and ended up taking his own life.”

Hearing what Jiao Fang said, Bi Heng understood why he always felt that Jiao Fang seemed to have reservations in dealing with Chu Yi before, but now the truth is revealed. It turned out that from the beginning, Jiao Fang was Chu Yi's person at all.

Thinking of this, Bi Heng couldn't help laughing bitterly, Liu Jin is really not wronged to lose, the number one person under his command is arranged by others, even if he is not won by civil and military officials, I am afraid that one day he will be defeated in Chu. Yi hands.

However, Bi Heng is quite curious about Chu Yi. He doesn't know much about Chu Yi. After all, Chu Yi was very low-key in the past few years. Later, he took the initiative to avoid Liu Jin's sharp edge and left the capital. Yang blood case came.

As for the future news, with Liu Jin's downfall, they, Liu Jin's comrades, were naturally imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and their contact with the outside world was also cut off.

After pondering for a while, Bi Heng nodded slightly towards Jiao Fang and said, "If the governor of Chu sees Bi, then Bi is willing to follow the lead of the governor."

Since he didn't want to die, he had to choose a big backer. Obviously, Bi Heng, who had already been branded as an eunuch and his party, had no other choice. It was impossible for the cultural management system to accept him, so he had to rely on Chu Yi.

Jiao Fang couldn't help stroking his messy beard and couldn't help laughing: "If the governor hears that Bi Shangshu is sincerely attached, he will definitely be very happy."

At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "Yes, Jiao Ge knows what Chu is like, Bi Shangshu is willing to help Chu, and Chu has another talent!"

This voice sounded from the prison, and Jiao Fang suddenly turned to look at the person who came, and saw Chu Yi wearing a cloak, followed by Cao Shaoqin who was striding forward with a smile on his face.

The moment Jiao Fang saw Chu Yi, in these days, the uneasiness in his heart finally disappeared. You must know that he was actually quite worried when he was put into the sky prison, although he knew that he had a backer like Chu Yi. .

The key point was that Chu Yi was not in the capital, but in Jiangnan.If there is an accident like this, how could Chu Yi, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, be able to save him.

It was only after someone from the East Depot in the prison took the initiative to contact him that Jiao Fang had the backbone.

Seeing Chu Yi coming now, Jiao Fang's heart fell completely, she tidied up her clothes a little, and bowed to Chu Yi, "Jiao Fang pays tribute to the governor."

This day's prison was like Chu Yi's own territory. A prison head stayed behind Chu Yi with a respectful look on his face. Seeing that Chu Yi stopped in front of Jiao Fang's cell, he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the cell door.

Chu Yi stepped forward and lifted Jiao Fang up with one hand. After sizing it up, he saw Jiao Fang's face was embarrassed. Obviously, Jiao Fang had suffered some hardships during these days in this prison, but compared to others, he Much better.

"Elder Jiao Ge is suffering, it's just that Chu is late!"

At this moment, the head of the cell also opened Bi Heng's cell next to him, and Bi Heng's eyes fell on Chu Yi.

Jiao Fang didn't care to talk to Chu Yi and hurriedly said to Chu Yi: "Supervisor, this is Bi Heng, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he is one of the few talents under Liu Jin. It should be no stranger to come to superintendent. It is."

Bi Heng stepped forward and said to Chu Yi for a week: "Bi Heng pays respects to Governor Chu!"

Chu Yi stretched out his hand to support Bi Heng and said, "Chu Yi has long heard the name of Bi Shangshu. Shangshu was a jinshi during the Chenghua period, and later he held important positions such as the servant, the Lianghuai salt transport envoy, and the governor of Gansu. Name, Chu has always admired Shang Shu, and seeing it today will bring joy to his life!"

Just by looking at Chu Yi's knowledge of his life history, he knew that Chu Yi had really understood him carefully. Just by looking at Chu Yi's extraordinary aura, an invisible power naturally spread out, which made people unable to help being impressed, especially. Chu Yi's naturally approaching attitude was much stronger than Liu Jin's attitude when he attracted them.

At least in the face of Chu Yi, Bi Heng didn't feel any disgust at all, but instead had an inexplicable feeling of being valued.

As the saying goes, a man dies for his confidant. Compared with Liu Jin, Chu Yi's heartfelt respect for him made Bi Heng feel like he was facing his confidant. He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Chu Yi: " Biheng is willing to do the hard work for the Governor!"

Chu Yi didn't dodge or stop this ceremony. When Bi Heng bowed down, Chu Yi also lifted Bi Heng with a straight face and said, "You don't lose me, I don't lose you!"

Jiao Fang couldn't help smiling happily: "Jiao Fang, congratulations to the Governor for winning this talent!"

Chu Yi turned his head towards Jiao Fang and said, "In the past few years, Jiao Ge has been wronged!"

Jiao Fang heard what Chu Yi said, and sighed in her heart. To tell the truth, when it comes to grasping people's hearts, Liu Jin is really far behind Chu Yi. If Liu Jin has half of Chu Yi's mind and means, I am afraid that Liu Jin will not fall. to the present field.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu and Cao Yuan on the side couldn't help but excitedly said to Chu Yi: "Master, I am willing to serve the Master, and please save me and get out of trouble..."

In their opinion, since Chu Yi is willing to accept Bi Heng, then he is definitely willing to accept them. Perhaps Chu Yi is here for them. With their help, after going out, Chu Yi can completely accept Liu Jin's work. The power has suddenly become an existence that is no less powerful than Liu Jin.

However, Chu Yi just glanced at Liu Yu and a few people lightly. For these people, Chu Yi really has no interest, and they have no ability. Instead, he relied on Liu Jin's power when Liu Jin was in power. Do whatever they want, I don't know how many people have been harmed, even if these people are executed, they deserve it.

As for relying on these people to fully take over the power left by Liu Jin, Chu Yi never thought about it. The power left by Liu Jin is indeed not small, but if he enters the court with Liu Jin's chassis, he may not be a mouse in the future. Broken a pot of porridge.

He would rather accumulate contacts step by step and lay a solid foundation than take over all the scum from Liu Jin's past.

Seeing Chu Yi's eyes swept towards Liu Yu and the others, Bi Heng couldn't help but say to Chu Yi, "Master, there is one thing I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Chu Yi said in surprise: "Oh, Master Bi is just as blunt."

Bi Heng ignored the reactions of Liu Yu and the others, and said solemnly: "Bi also asks the supervisor to think twice, don't be greedy for immediate benefits and fully accept the power left by Eunuch Liu, otherwise there will be endless disasters!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu and the others immediately yelled at Bi Heng: "Bi Heng, we have no injustice or enmity, why do you want to harm me like this!"

"Bi Heng, you villain, you must die!"

Liu Yu and the others were really pissed off, and it was fine if they didn't intercede for them. Instead, Bi Heng fell into the trap and prevented Chu Yi from accepting them.

Chapter 130 Four Confucianists Are Strong

However, Bi Heng turned a deaf ear to their yelling and just stared at Chu Yi. Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bi Heng with admiration and laughed: "This time Chu is only for Jiao Ge and Bi. Your Excellency is here, as for these people, Chu really doesn't take it to heart, but Master Bi dares to speak out and speaks out, he is worthy of being a good minister of the country, and Chu will definitely recommend Master Bi to the Son of Heaven in the future."

Jiao Fang smiled slightly and stroked his beard. At any rate, he knew Chu Yi's temperament quite well. He never worried that Chu Yi would accept Liu Yu and others. Otherwise, Jiao Fang would have come forward to dissuade him.

However, Bi Heng's ability to dissuade Chu Yi is somewhat beyond Jiao Fang's expectations. You must know that Bi Heng has always just immersed himself in doing things under Liu Jin, but he has never thought about planning for Liu Jin so wholeheartedly.

Based on his understanding of Bi Heng, it is obvious that this is a test of Bi Heng to Chu Yi, and it is true that he is attached, but whether he can be sincerely attached depends on whether Chu Yi can truly subdue Bi Heng.

Just like Liu Jin, isn't Bi Heng attached to Liu Jin the same way? However, with Bi Heng's talent, he rarely advises Liu Jin. Obviously, Bi Heng is most attached to Liu Jin, but not sincere.

After listening to Chu Yi's words, Bi Heng was greatly moved. Although he just said that he wanted to prevent Chu Yi from accepting those scourges for Chu Yi's sake, but as Jiao Fang thought, why wasn't it a test of Chu Yi? .

If Chu Yi was short-sighted and took in Liu Yu and others, he would still advise him as a way to repay Chu Yi for saving his life. Even as long as Chu Yi listened to his advice, he would plan for Chu Yi wholeheartedly.

I am not afraid of Chu Yi's shortsightedness, but I am afraid that Chu Yi will not listen to good words.

Obviously, after some testing, Chu Yi is not only open-minded, but also has a vision that is a hundred times more than Liu Jin. At least Bi Heng doesn't have to worry about joining Chu Yi. After a few years, Chu Yi will fall and he will return to this prison.

Liu Yu and the others on the side were completely desperate and couldn't help but yell at Chu Yi: "Chu Yi, you bastard, you have to die!"

"Hahaha, Eunuch Liu has been watching you all the time, and none of you will have good results!"

Seeing this, the jailer immediately waved the whip in his hand and slammed it towards Liu Yu and the others, shouting, "Is it courting death!"

Liu Yu and the others, who had just yelled at Chu Yi and others, curled up in the corner and screamed in pain, how could they dare to curse Chu Yi and the others.

Chu Yi nodded towards Jiao Fang and Bi Heng and said, "You two, come with me!"

Seeing how easy Chu Yi was, it was obvious that it was not a problem for Chu Yi to take the two of them out of the prison, but the two also knew that Chu Yi was the director of the East Factory and wanted to take someone away from the prison, unless it was The Minister of Punishment personally came to block the door and even brought the lawsuit to the emperor before there was a glimmer of hope that he could stop it.
