Chapter 437 The day when the teacher returned to the DPRK
The carriage rolled past. Even though he was mentally prepared, he could see those happy people shouting Chu Yi's name everywhere he passed.
It can be seen that Chu Yi was really shocked by a battle this time.
These people, regardless of whether Chu Yi was an eunuch or not, especially those who had felt the threat of the Tatar alien race, were truly immensely admired Chu Yi's military achievements.
Chu Yi defeated the Tatars in one battle, destroyed the 200,000 elite Tatars, and captured the heroes like Dayan Khan alive.
It’s like the lord of a country was captured alive. You can imagine how huge the sensation Chu Yi caused this time was.
"Captain the King?"
In a mansion, Fang Yuanli, who was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but open his eyes wide and was filled with shock. It was really the news that the emperor wanted to confer Chu Yi as king, and all the civil and military officials were shocked.
The merits made by Chu Yi this time were indeed rare in a century. It was reasonable for the emperor Zhu Houzhao to reward Chu Yi very much. The key was that Zhu Houzhao actually wanted to grant Chu Yi the king, which made these officials unable to accept it.
Fang Yuanli frowned and looked at the servant in front of him and said, "Where did you hear the rumors? It is extremely ridiculous. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have never awarded a king of a different surname since Taizu. Even if he is of great achievements, he cannot be named a king!"
The servant couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Master, the villain has heard it correctly. Now it has spread in the city. It is said that the adults came out of the palace and came out of the generals. If it weren't for the truth, it would probably not have been spread so quickly."
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuanli didn't believe it anyway, but Fang Yuanli was also a little worried. Their presence in the six imperial court departments was so low.
However, regardless of whether Chu Yi was crowned as king this time, the Ministry of Rites must be unable to avoid.
After all, the emperor will definitely be responsible for the reward of Chu Yi by the Ministry of Rites, so the Ministry of Rites is definitely a department that cannot be avoided.
"When I go to see Mr. Chen Dingge, I don't believe that the emperor would agree to such a ridiculous thing."
There are many officials in the capital. Although many officials do not say it, they may have any opinions about Chu Yi.
The killings created by Chu Yi were too strong, and many enemies were formed invisibly. These people naturally did not dare to do anything due to Chu Yi's tyranny.
However, after this time, after the news that the emperor wanted to confer Chu Yi as king, these people seemed to gather together and add fuel to the fire.
In a mansion, several officials who had received the news gathered together were discussing secretly in the study.
These people are not high-ranking officials in the court, but they are not famous. Their official positions are neither big nor small, but they are indispensable. Now that the few people gathered together, one of them stroked his beard and said, "Everyone, the news is almost certain. Your Majesty does mean to be the king of Chu Yi. I have the opportunity to wait!"
An official glanced at the official and said, "Mr. Liu said so much. This time, the emperor appointed Chu Yi as king, which is a great opportunity for us to wait."
The official wearing a blue shirt and stroking his beard showed a strange look in his eyes and said, "If you want to target Chu Yi, you must alienate the relationship between the emperor and Chu Yi. We cannot target Chu Yi head-on, so this time Chu Yi is the opportunity for us to be king. So no matter what, we must lift Chu Yi up high, and we must ask the emperor to enthrone Chu Yi as king!"
An official's eyes were full of confidence and confidence: "How much trust the emperor trusts Chu Yi today, then how much hatred Chu Yi will be in the future. The more powerful Chu Yi is and the higher his status, the closer the day when the emperor turns against Chu Yi!"
These officials who had resentment towards Chu Yi in their hearts contacted each other through various channels and made up their minds to push Chu Yi to the throne no matter what.
There are also some officials who have been stamped with Chu Yi's marks on their bodies. They can have today because of Chu Yi. If they do not have Chu Yi's protection, they are afraid that they will not have the power and status today.
Because of this, these officials were filled with horror after hearing the news.
These officials naturally knew the harm of Chu Yi's title of king, so some officials who depended on Chu Yi rushed to Jiao Fang's mansion in an anxious mood.
In Jiao Fang's mansion, it is no longer the first wave of people. In less than half a day, several waves of officials entered Jiao Fang's mansion.
In Jiao Fang's mansion, in the huge living room, more than a dozen officials were worried. Everyone looked at me and I saw you, and they naturally knew the purpose of the other party coming to Jiao Fang's mansion.
Jiao Fang walked into the living room, and the officials quickly stood up to greet Jiao Fang.
Jiao Fang signaled everyone to sit down, picked up the tea cup and drank a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "Everyone, come to see me today, but is there anything important?"
An official stood up and said to Jiao Fang: "Gei Jiao, even if we don't say the purpose of our visit, I think the teacher should know it very well."
An official next to him took a deep breath and begged: "It is rumored in the capital that Your Majesty wants to confer the title of the Chief Executive as the king. We don't know whether the news is true or false. We came to see Mr. Jiao and asked Mr. Jiao to solve our doubts!"
As a representative figure of Chu Yi's line, Jiao Fang can be said to be the backbone of the crowd. This time, it was rumored that Chu Yi was named king in the capital. Such a major thing, these officials who depended on Chu Yi were so concerned about it.
More than a dozen officials' eyes fell on Jiao Fang. Jiao Fang slowly lowered the teacup in his hand, glanced at everyone, and sighed in his heart.
These people were obviously aware of the harm of Chu Yi's title of king, so they came to see him. According to his wishes, they did not agree with the title of Chu Yi as king, but the emperor obviously paid attention to it. All he could do was to obey the emperor's will and minimize the impact and harm on Chu Yi.
Jiao Fang could only hear him slowly, "Your Majesty has made up his mind and will be appointed as the king on the day when the Grand Chief Manager returns to the court!"
An official said almost instinctively: "Don't you, Master Ge is confused. Your Majesty doesn't know the interests. Does Master Ge know either?"
This official is considered a high-ranking official in the court, so even if he says such words in front of Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang will not blame the other party.
Jiao Fang looked at the old man with a wry smile on his face and said, "An Ran Gong said very well, but unfortunately your Majesty has made up his mind. I really can't persuade him."
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all sighed.
Even Jiao Fang couldn't dissuade the emperor, and it was obvious that Zhu Houzhao had made up his mind.
Looking at the look of the crowd of people's expressions, Jiao Fang took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to worry. The title of the Grand Chief Manager will indeed cause great hidden dangers to the Grand Chief Manager, but to say it is disrespectful, the Grand Chief Manager is an eunuch. The eunuch is the king. The inheritance of the title of the king starts with the Grand Chief Manager and ends with the Grand Chief Manager. Your Majesty is wise and magnanimous. Can we think of the dangers of being named the king, can you not think of the "Majesty?"
After hearing Jiao Fang say this, many people were stunned, with a look of suddenness on their faces.
To be honest, these people almost forgot about Chu Yi's origin, and no one even regarded Chu Yi as a castrator.
Think about what Chu Yi has done over the years, and what is the eunuchs able to do, let alone suppress the rebellion of King Ning, destroy hundreds of thousands of Tatars' army in one battle, and capture Da Yankhan and other heroes who are ashamed to kill the world.
If Jiao Fang didn't mention it, they almost forgot that Chu Yi himself was an eunuch.
Many people showed relief on their faces. What they were worried about was that Chu Yi was so powerful that he was shocked by the Lord. Now that he was named the king, if he made any more contributions in the future, the emperor would have no rewards, it would be a disaster.
Often when the master is very good and the reward is unappreciated, it is time to tear the face and change the dynasty and change the dynasty. Either the minister dies or the master dies.
However, as a eunuch, Chu Yi had no descendants, so naturally there was no change of dynasty or other things. As long as Chu Yi did not pose any threat to Zhu Houzhao's throne, then according to Zhu Houzhao's temperament, it seems that it is not difficult to get along with the king and his subjects.
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Jiao Fang said, "Everyone, since Your Majesty wants to entrust the Grand Chief to be the king, we can't persuade him. It's better to think about how to make up for it. Even if the Grand Chief is entrustated to be the king, we must minimize the harm."
Although Chu Yi was not in the capital, the capital was in a boiling state because of it.
In Xuanfu City, nearly ten days have passed since the captive army of more than 100,000 Tatars. During these days, Xuanfu City is also in a boiling scene. However, nearly ten days have passed. No matter how excited he was at the beginning, the entire Xuanfu City has returned to peace.
In the government office, Chu Yi looked at the officials below, headed by the five-sided governor Yang Yiqing, and below were officials of the Xuanfu and even generals of the army.
Looking at these people, Chu Yi looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Governor Yang, I wonder when I can set off to return to the capital?"
Chu Yi had already handed over all the military and political affairs to Yang Yiqing for handling, so he was only waiting for Yang Yiqing's result.
It involved nearly 200,000 troops, and more than 100,000 prisoners. In addition to the big and small matters of Xuanfu City, if it were an ordinary official, he would have been driven crazy by such busy government and even military affairs, but Yang Yiqing did not seem panic at all when dealing with so many affairs.
Yang Yiqing has the talent and knowledge of becoming a general and a prime minister, so Chu Yi handed over so many things to Yang Yiqing for handling, and he was not worried that Yang Yiqing would not be able to deal with it.
Yang Yiqing bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Return to the Grand Chief, everything is ready. Just wait for the Grand Chief to give the order, and we can set off and return to the capital!"
Everyone knows that they have made such great achievements this time. Once they return to Beijing, the court and the emperor will definitely commend them.
Many generals present who made contributions in the war couldn't help but look excited when they heard this.
They were a little tired of staying in the Xuan Mansion, and they couldn't wait to return to the capital, just waiting for the emperor to reward him.
A bright light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and his eyes swept across the crowd. He could only hear Chu Yi say, "Since that's the case, we will set off immediately tomorrow and return to the capital!"
"Abide by the order of the Grand Chief!"
Nearly 200,000 troops and more than 100,000 Tatar prisoners, a large army of hundreds of thousands headed straight to the direction of the capital.
Hundreds of thousands of people traveled more than ten miles away, and at first glance, there was no end to the darkness. When the vanguard of the army that had advanced had arrived more than ten miles away, the army behind had just left the city.
With so many people rushing to the road, the speed is naturally very slow. At this speed, it will probably take nearly a month to reach the capital.
Although the speed is very slow, it cannot be increased even if you want to speed up. There are nearly 100,000 Tatar prisoners in the army.
The number of Tatar prisoners of more than 100,000 is not a small number. Yang Yiqing even dispatched a total of 50,000 troops to guard the Tatar prisoners.
The smoke and dust rolled on the official road, and there was a piece of smoke and dust passing by. A carriage that was not too noticeable was creaking and slowly moving forward.
If you don't know, you will definitely not believe it. Chu Yi followed the army in such a carriage.
In the carriage, Chu Yi sat upright, holding a volume of classics in his hand and was engrossed in his mind. Soon, a burst of rapid footsteps stopped beside the carriage.
"Master General Manager, there is news coming from the East Factory!"
Chu Yi sat there steadily without raising his head, and said calmly: "What's the news?"
Then Yue Buqun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Pingzhi at the door of the carriage, and then Lin Pingzhi handed it to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi only glanced at it and frowned slightly. The letter was sent by Jiao Fang from the East Factory channel, so the channel of Dongchang was very fast, otherwise the secret letter would not have been brought to Chu Yi so quickly.
Chu Yi finished reading the content of the letter, with a smile on his lips.
Sitting opposite Chu Yi was Yang Yiqing with a calm expression. Yang Yiqing was very curious and surprised by the letter in Chu Yi's hand, but no matter how curious Yang Yiqing was, he would not ask on his own initiative.
However, while Yang Yiqing was guessing in his heart, Chu Yi handed the letter to Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing couldn't help but be stunned. However, after he realized that, Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and turned the letter into Chu Yi's hand. His eyes fell on the letter. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty actually wants to confer the title of the Grand Chief!"
No wonder Yang Yiqing was so shocked. Obviously, even an existence like Yang Yiqing, who is a master, subconsciously rejected the title of kings in his heart, otherwise Yang Yiqing would not have had such a big reaction.
However, Chu Yi seemed very calm, as if the matter of being a king mentioned in Jiao Fang's letter was nothing serious at all.
