Orthodox six years.
spring.
The governor of Dongchang was ordered to return to Beijing.
General Xie was promoted to the fourth rank, General Xuanwu, and all the generals under his command were promoted and ordered to guard Lingnan.
Lingnan and the capital are thousands of miles apart, so the Zhengtong Emperor's thoughts are self-evident.
It is a heavy weight, and it is also a beating.
When the Jianghu sects heard this, they burst into tears of joy and celebrated like a New Year. They thanked their ancestors and sects for blessing the descendants through the evil calamity.
In less than two years, masters were killed and injured, sects were destroyed, and there were more than ten battles between good and evil.
The horror of military encirclement and suppression has become a nightmare for people in the world.
The Governor of Dongchang is the Lord of Nightmares!
All Jianghu people who have experienced these two years no longer have the courage to provoke Dongchang, but they will not admit defeat, but will instill hatred into their disciples.
He hoped that one day a genius would emerge and kill the governor of Dongchang to avenge his dead comrades.
Isn’t that what the storybooks say, justice will eventually defeat evil!
As for how many righteous people died before justice defeated evil, no one paid attention or cared.
Early March.
The drizzle is like smoke and mist.
Tap tap tap...
More than a hundred cavalrymen galloped along the official road, wearing black horses, black hats, black cloaks, and standard double swords at their waists.
Dongchang fanzi!
After recognizing the identity of the cavalry, no matter whether they were gentry, officials, or wealthy businessmen, they quickly drove out of the way and waited by the roadside for the fans to disappear under the curtain of rain before they dared to continue on their way.
Dongchang, which was established in the third year of Zhengtong, has already reached a stage of great fame and overwhelming power.
After a while.
In the mist and rain, I could see the shadow of the towering city wall.
Joy flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, he shook the reins vigorously, and the dark clouds ran a little faster on the snow.
Outside the city gate.
Eighteen-year-olds were looking forward to it, and the officials in the East Factory were waiting eagerly.
Dongchang Fanzi occupied the city gate early in the morning and drove the soldiers and people aside. If he dared to make any complaints, a walk through the dungeon of the Supervision Department would reveal treason even if he was not guilty.
Since the establishment of the Supervision Department, the number of officials secretly hiding dragon robes has suddenly increased!
Xilulu!
The dark clouds raised their front hooves on the snow, and Zhou Yi looked down from above.
"Meet my godfather!"
"Meet the Governor!"
Gan'er and the officials all knelt down on the ground. Whether it was true or false, their eyes were full of excitement, as if they had seen their relatives who had been dead for many years.
The great Inspector General of Dongchang has returned to his loyal Supervisory Department!
"Get up."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Did anything happen to the Supervision Department when our family was away?"
Everyone shook their heads: "Relying on the reputation of the Governor, no one dares to disobey the Supervision Department, but there are more and more people participating in the court."
"Whenever there are less people participating, something big has happened!"
Zhou Yi got off his horse and got into the official sedan surrounded by people.
All the way south. `
The usually noisy and lively streets are deserted, and Dongchang Fanzi is on duty more than ten feet away.
It is by no means a tyrannical way to clean the streets, but it is just telling the people that today is a bad day and it is not suitable to travel!
Zhou Yi was dozing off while sitting on the official sedan when he suddenly heard noises and scoldings from castrated dogs and lackeys. He suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who's in front?"
Gan'er Xiaoyinzi's voice came from outside the sedan: "Godfather, Feng Ze, the prince of Prince Pingxi, seems to be drunk, and the guards started a quarrel with Kailu Fanzi."
"King Pingxi..."
Zhou Yi's mind moved slightly, and he opened the curtain and looked forward.
There was a young man in white lying in the middle of the street. His body was stained with a lot of mud and water. He was holding a jar of wine in his arms. He was so drunk that he didn't know what he was talking about.
Next to him were seven or eight majestic men, all with fierce auras, confronting Fanzi.
There are few people in Daqing who can compare with the Supervision Department, and King Pingxi is one of them. He is so powerful that he even has the upper hand.
Zhou Yi said coldly: "A few soldiers and barbarians dare to cause trouble in Kyoto, I will kill them!"
"As commanded."
Cruelty flashed in Xiao Yinzi's eyes, and he leapt forward. Two short blades slipped out from his cuffs, and a continuous flash of sword light flashed, revealing several more corpses on the street.
"Dare you!"
The royal master who was secretly protecting him sternly scolded him and quickly appeared in front of Feng Ze to protect him, fearing that Xiao Yinzi would hurt the prince.
Xiao Yinzi stood in the rain and glanced at the drunk Feng Ze, with contempt and disdain flashing in his eyes.
The top three losers in the capital, these people are just lucky. If they had the same background, they would have died of freezing and starvation in the famine years.
"No matter who it is that dares to block the way of godfather, our family will not let it go!"
Hearing this, the Dongchang fans all stepped forward and drew out their sabers. With just a small order from Xiao Yinzi, they dared to hack Prince Pingxi to death.
"Dongchang is so majestic!"
The head guard looked gloomy, but he was surrounded by hundreds of people, and his situation was stronger than his own. He signaled to the left and right to take the prince away to make way for him.
The two guards held Feng Ze, not caring about his legs dragging the floor, and placed them casually in the corner of the street.
When Xiao Yinzi saw this, the contempt in his eyes grew stronger. Even the palace guards looked down on the prince. He was worthy of being a famous tiger father and son in Daqing.
The official sedan continued to move forward, and Zhou Yi stared at the drunk Feng Ze.
He has already perfected the art of hearing and breathing, and can clearly distinguish the sound of a person's heartbeat. Feng Ze's heart is strong and powerful, similar to that of a master of martial arts. He is definitely not a loser who is incompetent in writing and martial arts as rumored.
If you look closely at the mud on Feng Ze's body, it's only a superficial layer, and the inner lining is as clean as new.
Zhou Yi flicked out a ray of true energy with his fingers, and penetrated Feng Ze's chest from a distance of several feet, testing whether the other party was hiding his power and biding his time, or pretending to be a ghost.
The true energy fell on Feng Ze, like a mud cow falling into the sea, and his outer shirt was not even torn.
Feng Ze seemed to sense something, and slowly opened his drunken eyes, facing Zhou Yi who was looking over, with helplessness, determination and fierceness flashing in his eyes.
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh a few times and clicked his tongue.
"The people in this capital are so interesting!"
…
Inspection Division.
There are many cadres and officials around.
Zhou Yi sat on the Taishi chair and looked through the cases investigated by Dongchang in the past two years.
"What's going on with the case of the Governor of Water Transport? Our family has long said that we would rather investigate Mr. Water Transport than provoke the Governor of Water Transport!"
Dongchang is fierce and powerful, but it doesn't just check whoever it wants.
For example, all the previous governors of water transportation were greedy. However, they had millions of water transport workers under their command, and they were in important positions in transporting grain. The gains outweighed the losses by fighting against them. If they were pushed into a hurry, big trouble would definitely occur.
If you find an excuse for congestion and water transportation is suspended for two months, the price of rice in the capital will skyrocket!
"Godfather, this matter is under your Majesty's supervision."
Xiao Changzi, the cadre next to him, said helplessly: "Your Majesty asked Eunuch Yuan to issue a secret decree. Governor Zhu is greedy and has ruined water transportation. He must be dismissed from his post as soon as possible and his property must be raided."
"This is what His Majesty meant!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. Everyone knew that the Governor of Water Transport was greedy, so this must not be the reason for confiscating the house. It must be that he was on the wrong side.
"Your Majesty is the common master of the world, and there are only two or three people who can oppose him, either from the north or from the palace..."
"The north is too far from the capital. Governor Zhu was personally promoted by His Majesty, and the water workers have formed a famous water gang. It belongs to the boundary of half court and half rivers and lakes."
Zhou Yi's mind was spinning, and he quickly analyzed who Governor Zhu belonged to, and further deduced from this that His Majesty could not help but take action.
“Governor Zhu’s head is our family’s signature certificate!”
Zhou Yi thought about this and asked: "Do you still have the dragon robe and jade seal in the Si Zhong? Send a few to Governor Zhu's house, and bury some armor and flags. Since it is His Majesty's wish, then the nine tribes must be killed!"
"Don't worry, godfather, our family will arrange everything properly."
Xiao Changzi's face was filled with joy. The Governor of Water Transport was the richest in the world. One fortune would be worth ten years for others.
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Contact Jianghu secret agents in the department, assassinate Governor Zhu to eliminate harm to the people, and keep an eye on the Caogang movement."
The Cao Gang is close to the capital and has tens of thousands of young and strong gang members, making it a very powerful force.
The person in the palace is most likely a remnant of the Sanyang Sect. He was suppressed by the imperial court and did not appear in the world. He may be secretly controlling the Cao Gang to plot unspeakable things.
Zhou Yi was just speculating, and he needed to alert the snake before making follow-up plans.
Xiao Changzi asked: "Should the assassin really kill Governor Zhu?"
"certainly."
Zhou Yi said: "Tell those Jianghu spies who can kill Governor Zhu, their sect will be exempted from taxes, and their disciples can work in the Supervision Department."
Fake officialdom, all kinds of conspiracies and calculations.
The real officialdom is directly destroyed physically!
After making clear arrangements for the governor of water transportation and asking about several key cases, Zhou Yi put the file aside and glanced at the cadres and officials present.
After a while.
"Little Zhongzi, stay here and let the others do their work."
Zhou Yi retreated, leaving Gan'er, who was usually inconspicuous, and said: "We have something to do at home. You can do it by yourself in private. If you do it well, you will get a big reward."
Xiao Zhongzi didn't care about the jealous looks of others, and knelt on the ground: "My godfather told me that there is nothing else in our family but loyalty that no one can compare to!"
Leaving himself alone, obviously distrustful of others, this is the opportunity to win the favor of his godfather and become the first of the eighteen godsons.
"In the entire Dongchang, our family believes in you the most!"
Zhou Yi gave a few words of hypocritical encouragement and said: "There is someone in Dongchang who has colluded with King Pingxi, or who has received benefits. You should find out who it is. Our family needs to be rectified!"
Dongchang can make false accusations and murders, and he can be greedy for money, but he can't get close to the military and political ministers.
For example, if any of the commanders and envoys of the Zhenfu Division are not secluded from the court, the more they are enemies throughout the court, the more your Majesty will value them.
If you really have an entanglement with King Pingxi, your Majesty will treat it as a rebellion, regardless of whether you have other intentions!
Xiao Zhongzi said: "Don't worry, godfather, our family will find out as soon as possible."
"One more thing."
Zhou Yi said: "We sent experts to keep an eye on Prince Pingxi. Even when he was sleeping at night, someone had to keep an eye on him in turns to record his every word and deed."
Xiao Zhongzi bowed and accepted the order, wondering how his godfather would treat King Pingxi.
Xiao Yinzi just killed the palace guard. On the surface, he seemed to be an enemy, but no one could tell what the real situation was. He might have been deliberately acting to show outsiders.
If your father has a good relationship with King Pingxi, then our family must prepare a way out early and ask someone else to be our godfather.
The dynasty will never allow a second Zhenbei King to appear!
As for the so-called loyalty, Xiao Zhongzi will always be loyal to power...
…
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
After the notification.
Zhou Yi looked excited and knelt all the way to the Zhengtong Emperor.
"My slave, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Since we left the capital the year before last, we have been thinking about Your Majesty day and night. Today we can finally be with you again..."
As I spoke, I was moved to tears.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yizi!"
The Zhengtong Emperor nodded slightly and praised: "Xiao Yizi is my right-hand man. If I can leave a few notes in the history books in the future, Xiao Yizi's name will definitely be indispensable."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"
Zhou Yi was moved and said: "I don't ask for a name in the history books. I am satisfied if I can serve your majesty. If it is recorded in the history books that we are your majesty's lackeys, it is a great compliment."
The orthodox emperor's face became more and more joyful, and he signaled to the chamberlain on duty: "Give Xiao Yizi a seat."
The servants were all on duty. They moved to a golden pier, nodded to Zhou Yi without leaving any trace, and returned to the original place of duty.
Zhou Yi immediately understood that His Majesty was in a good mood today.
I thanked Your Majesty for the seat. I rubbed my buttocks slightly against Jin Dun, relying solely on my true energy to support my sitting posture.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to ride in the rivers and lakes, and I have come back today. I have destroyed seventy-two Jianghu sects, large and small, recovered five million acres of mountains and fields, and obtained 22 million taels of gold and silver..."
As one incident was told, the Zhengtong Emperor felt more comfortable.
The chamberlains have already compiled statistics on these things, but they never tire of hearing about them. Everyone who becomes an emperor wants to be extremely rich.
At the same time, the prosperity of the Jianghu Sect far exceeded the expectations of the Orthodox Emperor, which further strengthened his determination to reform. These untaxed acres were digging into the foundation of the country.
"Xiao Yizi has outstanding achievements and deserves a big reward!"
Emperor Zhengtong said: "We have drawn up a decree to promote Xiao Yizi to the position of Chief Admiral of the Internal Affairs Department, to supervise the officials of the Twelve Departments, and to maintain a healthy atmosphere in the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhou Yi quickly stood up and knelt down. At this time, he was actually moved to tears.
In fourteen years, after many favors and humiliations, he finally climbed to the top of the eunuch department, and became the number one eunuch in Daqing just like Mr. Chu did.
The Zhengtong Emperor said meaningfully: "The Internal Affairs Department is in charge of Xiao Yizi. Don't let me down."
Zhou Yi's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "I will be loyal and loyal, and I will go to pieces to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"
"I do believe in Xiao Yizi."
The Zhengtong Emperor waved his hand and signaled Zhou Yi to retreat.
Leave the Yangxin Hall.
Zhou Yi received the belt card of the Chief Admiral and walked all the way to the Palace Supervisor. As the place where he made his fortune, he always felt that it was different from the Imperial Supervisor and the Royal Supervisor.
"Eunuch Yi."
A voice came from the corner, and the speaker was a delicate palace maid: "My Majesty was unwell a few days ago, and she killed several servants. I still need Eunuch Yi to send a few capable ones."
Zhou Yi recognized the identity of the palace maid, the palace order lady beside the empress, who managed the trivial affairs of the harem on behalf of the phoenix seal.
"It turns out to be Miss Linglong. I haven't seen her for a while."
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes wildly and said: "Our family will send someone over right now. They must be good at the chamberlain. Please be more gentle, don't get angry."
Linglong was slightly startled, her brows furrowed slightly, she stared at Zhou Yi for a long time and turned to leave.
"I will tell my mother-in-law every word of what Eunuch Yi said."
"Trouble."
Disdain flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. If he couldn't break up with the queen, just these words would crush Linglong's head.
"Our family is still too kind-hearted!"
Returning to the palace supervisor, he summoned Qian'er Xiao Yinzi.
"Go and check the Nine Exquisite Clan. To be able to become a palace official, it must be an unusual family background."
Zhou Yi killed someone and eliminated the root cause, so as not to be lonely down below, and then ordered.
"Our family remembers that the Jiangning Su family's cloth is holding a sticker with the name of the eldest prince, telling them that the palace's purchase quantity and price will double this year!"
