One sentence confirmed the crime of Cui Shangshu and others!
Zhou Yi knelt on the ground and showed a smile as expected.
The New Deal is related to His Majesty's merits and demerits in history. Anyone who dares to block it will be treasonous. At this point, it no longer matters whether Cui Shangshu and others are cronies.
Since ancient times, reforms have been bloody, and a ministerial book is suitable for establishing authority.
The Zhengtong Emperor said: "Show this confession to outsiders. You claim to be a gentleman every day, but you end up being a villain who harms the country!"
Eunuch Yuan came out of the palace holding the confession, and soon there was a cry of injustice.
Cui Shangshu's reaction was the most intense. His daughter was a concubine in the harem and was already pregnant with a dragon seed. She must not lose the holy scroll.
"I have been wronged, and I am willing to die to prove my innocence!"
As he spoke, he rushed towards the palace door and was about to hit him. When the guard on duty saw Zhou Yi's eyes, he immediately used Qinggong to block him and pinned Cui Shangshu to the ground.
"Nonsense!"
The Zhengtong Emperor ordered: "Throw them into the sky prison together and hand them over to the three divisions for trial."
Amid a burst of wailing, the chamberlain dragged all the officials down.
The Zhengtong Emperor looked at Zhou Yi again, with satisfaction and anger flashing in his eyes, and scolded: "Get out of here too, if you do this again, you will be severely punished!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Zhou Yi kowtowed, he did not stand up, but rolled on the ground and left the Yangxin Hall.
His forehead touched the ground, leaving pools of blood.
Seeing this situation, the Zhengtong Emperor couldn't help but feel pity. There were countless internal and external ministers in the dynasty, and they were ranked among the top three in terms of loyalty and handling of affairs. They could be said to be the most loyal of the dynasty.
The only drawback is that it is brutal and murderous, but this is also an advantage!
"Tell Dr. Liu to go and treat Xiao Yizi's injuries."
"As you command!"
Eunuch Yuan bowed to accept the order, jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Chamberlains are royal servants. No matter how high their official position is, they are equivalent to property, no different from the tables, chairs, benches, bottles and jars in the palace.
When an imperial doctor treats a noble person, it is a great honor for the chamberlain to enjoy it!
Eunuch Yuan's mind was spinning, and he gave up all thoughts of overthrowing Eunuch Yi.
"The situation has become overwhelming, let's stay out of the way for now!"
…
On duty as palace supervisor.
Eighteen godsons gathered together, this one rubbed his shoulders, and that one applied medicine.
The sound of "godfather" made Zhou Yi feel relaxed and happy.
The little tune boasted: "Godfather, the Yuntai Academy has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is said that the elders must be respectful when visiting the house. You can kill them with just one order."
The backbone of the Supervision Department were all on duty in the palace, and everything that happened in the academy and the dungeon had already been reported to the palace.
Of course, some of the words that Eunuch Wen said fell into the ears of his godson, that Zhou Yi would rather risk his own life than let them die taking the blame.
In this way, the originally false father-son relationship becomes more sincere.
"Just remember, we are only loyal to His Majesty, everything else is bullshit."
Zhou Yi said: "Don't talk about Yuntai Academy. Even if the Jiangnan family is against His Majesty, our family dares to surround it with people and kill all the chickens and dogs without leaving a trace!"
"My godfather is wise."
The little song was praised again and again, and I wrote this sentence down in my heart. It may be useful in the future.
There are few aristocratic families in the north of Daqing. After all, they will be slaughtered every time there is a change of dynasty. Most of them are nobles who followed Taizu to establish the world. In Jiangnan, there are few wars, clan power is entrenched, and aristocratic families have been passed down for many dynasties without falling.
In Xiao Qu's eyes, there is no way Zhou Yi can beat the noble family, but at the critical moment, he may be able to become a leader!
While speaking.
A chamberlain hurried in and reported: "News came from Yichun Palace. Cui Guiren heard that his father was in prison. He fell down in desperation and had a miscarriage."
"knew."
A strange color flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. He thought that the empress was from a rough background and was not good at fighting in the palace, but he never expected to be so decisive and ruthless in her methods.
"It's just that the method is too rough, which will inevitably arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Maybe... this couple only needs to break up, and nothing else matters!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi became even less optimistic about the Queen.
Your Majesty has brought the power of Western Expedition to destroy the country. The momentum has reached its peak, and no one in the country can stop it.
Zhou Yi ordered: "Keep an eye on Yichun Palace for a long time. Any news will come to you in time."
"As commanded."
The chamberlain kowtowed to accept the order and returned to Yichun Hall.
The death of a dragon species will inevitably cause quite a stir.
Cui Guiren's every word and action, and even the personal maids and chamberlains, need to be watched at all times.
"Xiaoqu went to the south to do something, and the Jiangning Wu family forcibly interfered in the Gongfu business. For the sake of the dragon species, our family swallowed up and admitted it."
Zhou Yi said coldly: "Now that the dragon species is gone, the Wu family should be gone too!"
Xiaoqu said: "Godfather, our family has been keeping an eye on the Wu family, and the cloth delivered last month turned off. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the family should be confiscated and exterminated!"
"Jie Jie Jie! You do things, and our family can rest assured."
Zhou Yi patted Xiao Qu on the shoulder: "Go to the Supervision Department to get the foreign affairs token. When you get to Jiangning, contact Eunuch Xing. Do things cleanly and don't leave any traces behind!"
A raid on a house in the capital means a raid on a house. After all, there are still laws under the emperor's feet.
Once you leave the capital, confiscating your home means genocide!
"Thank you godfather."
Xiaoqu Dongdong bowed three times and bowed nine times, and left happily. This trip to Jiangning will definitely be a good search.
The other godsons showed envy on their faces. Xiaoqu was indeed the most favored godson. He could get any good thing in his hands. He should show more respect in the future.
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Qu's back.
"This guy is so scheming, don't stay for long!"
…
End of month.
New Year is approaching.
The orthodox emperors held a banquet to celebrate the founding of the country.
The emperor's joy and anger were like sunshine and rain in the palace. Affected by this, the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful.
There was only one place where it was still cold and quiet.
Cold palace.
Standing at the door, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel nostalgic. He still remembered lying on the steps reading.
Three years later, the once nameless chamberlain on duty became the prestigious Third Supervisor and Superintendent.
“Things are changing and life is unpredictable!”
Zhou Yi sighed, stepped in, and was the first to see the old eunuch lying on the steps.
The old deer became older, with sparse white hair and an old look. He turned his head slowly when he heard the footsteps, and his cloudy eyes were dull.
"Who?"
"Xiao Yizi is here to see you."
Zhou Yi came to the steps, took off his purple robe, and lay down next to the old deer.
"It's your boy."
Old Lu said in surprise: "How come Eunuch Yi, who is so powerful in the court, has time to come to our land?"
Zhou Yi said: "When I left, I promised to visit from time to time, but as a result, I was so busy with worldly affairs that I didn't have time until today."
"Giggle!"
The old deer woke up from his drowsiness, smiled strangely like a hen crowing, with only a few teeth left in his mouth, and pointed to the cold palace room with his skinny fingers.
"There is nothing interesting about the dying person in our family. Is your kid testing the one inside?"
The person detained in the room was Cui Guiren. First, his father was imprisoned, and then Longzhong was born prematurely. He knelt outside the Yangxin Hall for three days and three nights, unable to ask for forgiveness from the Zhengtong Emperor.
He was so angry that he became a madman!
According to the account of the eunuch on duty at the Yangxin Hall, Cui Guiren threw himself at His Majesty with all his teeth and claws, even shouting that they would die together, and ended up being thrown into the cold palace.
"Lao Lu, is this person really crazy or fake?"
Zhou Yi had personal experience. The former queen conspired and ate excrement in order to pretend to be crazy.
"That's crazy!"
Lao Lu said: "But it is not caused by anger, but by external forces. In other words, it is not madness, but confusion."
Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically, he stood up quickly and said in a deep voice.
"Old Lu, are you saying that someone is using witchcraft in the palace?"
"During the late emperor's time, the Zhenfu Division arrested several Qingyang Sect mages, and our family saw them cast spells with our own eyes."
Lao Lu recalled: "It drives evil spirits to possess them and disturb the souls of ordinary people. They immediately become delirious and bite everywhere like a mad dog, just like the one inside!"
Zhou Yi's expression changed, and he finally lay back on the steps.
Looking up at the sky, the clouds are rolling and relaxing, just like the sky three years ago.
"Old Lu, our family has some regrets."
Lao Lu said: "Then how dare you work with the Queen? Witchcraft and Gu spells are different from others. If it falls into His Majesty's ears, he will definitely clean up the palace!"
Zhou Yi stared at Lao Lu for a long time and could hardly help but use his Qi to shoot him to death on the spot.
"Old Lu, our family has only exchanged a few words with the Queen, but we have never met her in private. How come we are together?"
"In this palace, there are only two people we can't see through."
Lao Lu said: "One is the Queen, and the other is you. They are two extremely smart people who can cooperate tacitly without any discussion."
Zhou Yi wondered: "Our family has a clean background, why can't we see through it?"
Lao Lu said: "We don't understand where you get the confidence to win. There are countless smart people in the world, but you dare to risk the world's disapproval and become a lonely minister!"
"You'll find out later."
Zhou Yi added in his heart, as long as you can live long enough.
Immortality is the backbone of Zhou Yi. I really can't play anymore. I hide in the deep mountains and forests for a hundred and eighty years. When I come out, everything will be changed, and all the victories and defeats will disappear.
Lao Lu reminded: "The Queen is not a good person, we advise you to stop as soon as possible."
"No choice!"
Zhou Yi said in a deep voice: "Our family has hinted to His Majesty several times, but we have not received any response. The method to break through the innate world must be obtained from the Queen."
Lao Lu asked: "With your strength, you are no weaker than Xiantian, why do you still have to fight?"
Zhou Yi responded with silence. He could not tell Lao Lu that he wanted to manipulate the change of imperial power as a servant.
If even a word of these words is spread, the nine clans of Zhouyi will be executed, and even the ant nest in the family will have to be poured boiling water!
"Ambition makes people sink..."
Lao Lu's voice changed: "You came to visit our family and you didn't even bring a gift?"
Zhou Yi asked: "Do you want to eat the banquet in the imperial dining room?"
Lao Lu licked his lips: "Bao Jixiang's seafood porridge and Liu Yishou's spring cakes. Even after decades, our family can't forget the taste."
"Someone is coming."
Zhou Yi shouted, and a chamberlain immediately came in: "Go to the imperial kitchen to find Bao Jixiang and Liu Yishou. From now on, we will prepare porridge and spring cakes every day and send them to Leng Palace."
Lao Lu quickly stopped him: "Just eat it once to satisfy your craving."
Zhou Yi was surprised and said: "Old Lu, don't be polite, our family has enough control over the things in this palace!"
"You're not being polite."
Lao Lu said: "These two delicacies are what our family misses. If we eat them every day, we will lose our favorites and lose one of the joys in life!"
"Hypocritical!"
Zhou Yi ordered: "Go to the Imperial Palace to get some wine. In the past, only the Emperor of the Dayue Kingdom was qualified to taste the tributes sent by the Crescent Palace."
Lao Lu said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so majestic!"
"After achieving our position, we can't do it without showing off our authority."
Zhou Yi said: "Old Lu, after our family is out of this cold palace, all that's left is intrigues and intrigues. It's better to lie on the steps and be more comfortable than having eighteen cadres waiting on you!"
Lao Lu rolled his eyes wildly and returned the sentence.
"Hypocritical!"
…
Four years of orthodoxy.
spring.
Xiaoqu Jiangnan investigates and conflicts with Qianhu of the Zhenfu Division.
On the way back to Beijing, he was surrounded and killed by bandits.
…
Inspection Division.
Peng!
Zhou Yi slapped his palm on the table, and his true energy surged out and shattered into powder.
"Zhenfu Si is so brave, even our cadres dare to touch him!"
The faces of the other godfathers were full of indignation, but in their hearts they were elated and happy. It would be better if Xiaoqu died, so as not to compete for favor in front of his godfather in the future.
It is rumored that Xiaoqu went to Jiangnan this time and after plundering the Wu family, he also implicated several big families in Jiangning.
In order to save their lives, local families offered a large amount of gold and silver, which was enough to load more than ten taels of carriages.
"Duke Gong, we have robbed Eunuch Qu's Black Tiger Village. They have been entrenched in this place for a long time. Jiang Ning has failed in several encirclement and suppression campaigns."
Lin Fu said: "I thought that because of my humble position, I must be the commander of the subjugation department to report the news. Firstly, he wants to support the bandits' self-respect, and secondly, he has a disobedient heart!"
Wen Tongzhi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the new chief executive.
He really had a dark heart. He would confiscate his family and exterminate his family every time he opened his mouth. In order to avoid losing his identity as a think tank, he said quickly.
"Duke Gong, since the establishment of the Supervision Department, the Zhenfu Department has been secretly opposing us. The death of Eunuch Qu just puts the struggle on the table for your Majesty to balance."
Balance between the left and right is the most important part of the Imperial Art!
In order to limit the power of his ministers, His Majesty will support another hilltop as a balance.
Based on this, and relying on His Majesty's idea of balancing power, the Supervision Department can actively fight with the Town and Fu Department in an arena to gain support.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Wen is right. Creating momentum is a long-term solution, but..."
The voice suddenly became cold and cruel: "Qian'er was killed by someone. It's like a slap in our face. We must fight him back in person!"
"Come here, go to Zhenfusi Yamen!"
With an order, hundreds of men in black gathered and followed Zhou Yi to the west of the imperial city.
Before the establishment of the Supervision Department, the Zhenfusi Yamen was always on the west side of the palace and had no other name.
Nowadays, the two bureaus are facing each other from east to west, and the names "East Factory" and "Xichang" have been circulated among the people to refer to the two yamen.
After a while.
Outside Zhenfusi Yamen.
When the warriors on duty saw Zhou Yi, they didn't dare to stop him and hurriedly ran into the Yamen to report. Who in the capital didn't know that the Governor of Dongchang liked to kill people.
Before I could explain it to my boss, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
main hall.
A big red plaque hangs above, with the three characters "Zhen Fu Si" written on it. It is said that it was written by the Taizu of Daqing himself.
Zhou Yi stepped in and saw the commander Ji Yue, with Tongzhi and Qianshi standing on the left and right. It happened that the three giants of the Zhenfu Division were all present.
"That's fine, I'll save you from having to come to our house one by one!"
Ji Yue said coldly: "Eunuch Yi, why did you come to Zhenfu Division to cause trouble?"
"Our son is dead!"
Zhou Yi made a move to sit down, but immediately Gan'er got down on all fours and turned into a human chair.
"Thousands of households died in the Zhenfu Division. If Commander Ji doesn't give an explanation today, our family will definitely overthrow this Yamen!"
Ji Yue was His Majesty's confidant, and he looked down on Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart. He was just a flattering eunuch, so he scolded him sternly.
"The Supervision Department has only been established for half a year, and you still dare to come to the Supervision Department to cause trouble. Who do you think you are?"
