The Most Powerful Man in the World

Zhao Gou glanced at Chu Yi subconsciously, and saw Chu Yi sitting there with a calm expression on his face. For a while, he was unsure of what Lu Shinang's sudden action meant, whether it was instructed by Chu Yi, or whether Instructing Lu Shinang to act on his own.

No matter what he was thinking, Zhao Gou seemed very patient when facing Chu Yi's family. He nodded slightly and said, "If the Lu Qing family has anything to say, just say it bluntly."

Lu Shinang bowed his hands, first bowed to Chu Yi, and then said: "Your Majesty, the chief executive has made great contributions to the society, since your majesty has made the chief executive the king of Song, you should add Jiuxi, fake Huang Yue, and Kaifu Yitong three divisions, Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi..."

The group of people listened to Lu Shinang's words, their eyes widened, and they looked at Lu Shinang in disbelief. At the same time, some people also looked at Zhao Gou.

You must know that Zhao Gou's award to Chu Yi before, except for the name of the general manager of the army and horses, other than the title of the king, the name of the praise, the sword and the court, etc. are just a false name.

However, what Lu Shinang said was amazing. Whether it was the opening of the house and the third division of the court, or the matter of the Tongzhong Shumen, once Zhao Gou agreed, it would mean that Chu Yi would have the freedom to open the house. To provide staff and form his own team is almost equivalent to allowing Chu Yi to form a small court outside the Great Song Dynasty.

After having these powers, if one day Chu Yi is willing, even if it is to try to usurp the throne, it will be just a matter of leisure, and directly replace the imperial court of the Song Dynasty with his own small court. There is no sense of disobedience.

If someone stared at Zhao Gou carefully, they would find that Zhao Gou's face was a little ugly at that moment. Although Zhao Gou adjusted his emotions in time, the place that others could not see was hidden in the large dragon. The palm under the robe could not help clenching the fist.

Zhao Gou's heart was full of this kind of humiliation, especially Lu Shinang's eyes didn't show any respect at all. The look in his eyes didn't look like he was looking at the high-ranking emperor, and even Zhao Gou looked at him in his eyes. to a hint of sarcasm.

If it were someone else, he might have gone mad on the spot, but Zhao Gou took a deep breath, his face was filled with joy, and he said to Master Lu, "What Lu Qing's family said is very serious. Yes, if it wasn't for the reminder from Lu Qing's family, I hadn't thought of this yet, and with the merits of King Song, it is true that he should have the right to open the palace."

While speaking, Zhao Gou looked straight at the ministers below and said, "Is there any objection from the Qing family?"

Above this courtroom, after a night of turmoil, the originally densely packed courtroom suddenly lost many figures, such as Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Li Bangyan, Wang Hao and others.

When Chu Yi led the army into the capital, he immediately sent people to the mansion of these people to control these people.

Although it was said that some people realized that something was wrong in time and wanted to escape, but few of these people were able to escape. After all, the four doors were closed, and even a large number of sentries outside blocked the capital, which meant that they wanted to avoid disturbing anyone. It is not an easy thing to leave the capital quietly in a human condition.

Almost one-third of the people above the court were missing, and many of the remaining people were still in a state of shock.

Standing there at the moment, many people are like clay sculptures, not to mention speaking, they dare not even make some small movements, for fear of being targeted at this time.

Even an idiot could see the difference between Zhao Gou and Chu Yi. Even if Zhao Gou expressed his reliance on Chu Yi, no one would believe that Zhao Gou really relied on Chu Yi. As for Chu Yi's reliance on Zhao Gou There is no loyalty at all, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to do anything? If they were misunderstood, wouldn't it be too late to cry?

At this moment, a faint look of hope flashed in the depths of Zhao Gou's eyes. It was impossible for Zhao Gou to refuse Lu Shinang, because he was supported by Chu Yi. If he refused the reward to Chu Yi If so, isn't that just telling others that he is dissatisfied with Chu Yi.

Since he can't express opposition, it doesn't mean that others can't.

Just like Chu Yi could not directly ask Zhao Gou for a reward, so Lu Shinang, as a general of Chu Yi's family, naturally spoke for Chu Yi.

What Zhao conceived was that among the courtiers below, if someone could stand up and express their opposition directly, it would give him some leeway, wouldn't it?

If possible, Zhao Gou would not be willing to seal those privileges to Chu Yi, knowing that once these privileges are granted, unless they have absolute certainty, it will be difficult to take them back.

However, in Zhao Gou's expectation, the courtiers below were like quails, their heads drooping, as if they didn't notice Zhao Gou.

Seeing such a situation, Zhao Gou felt a little disappointed in his heart. He hoped that these people would open their eyes for him, and he really thought too much.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gou said slowly: "Since no one objected to everyone, then the reward for King Song has been decided, and an imperial decree will be issued later."

Chu Yi, who was sitting there, just got up and slightly cupped his hands towards Zhao Gou and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

An enthronement ceremony ended smoothly, Zhao Gou officially became a new king, and changed his name to Shaoxing.

In the northwest, Tong Guan, who was in charge of the army, looked at the secret letter in front of him, and slapped the table beside him with a slap. He immediately saw that the table was turned into flying ashes. The power contained in it is astonishing.

Sitting at the head of Tong Guan are several generals in the Northwest Army, such as Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others. Perhaps because of Chu Yi's chaotic entry, many famous generals from the early Southern Song Dynasty actually appeared in the Northwest Army and one of them. A budding figure, Tong Guanyi is regarded as a confidant.

Several generals looked at Tong Guan with a look of anger, with puzzled expressions on their faces. What was the news that made Tong Guan so angry? Could it be that the Xixia people tore up the covenant and plundered the borderlands again? ?

I saw Liu Guangshi bowing to Tong Guan and saying, "Tong Xianggong, could it be that there is some bad news in Beijing?"

As Tong Guan's confidants, these people naturally knew that this secret letter came from the capital. They were in the northwest, but it didn't mean that they didn't know anything about the outside world.

Chu Yi started his army from the southern part of the Yangtze River, and went straight to the capital under the banner of the Qingjun side. The way was like a broken bamboo. In fact, such news could not be concealed from them.

It's just that the marching speed of Chu Yi's army is so fast that the person in charge of passing the news has no time to pass the latest news, so they don't know how the capital is now. After all, the latest news about Chu Yi It was Chu Yi who was blocked in Yingtian Mansion by the army led by Chong Shidao.

In the eyes of Liu Guangshi and others, apart from the news from the capital, even if the Xixia people repeatedly invaded the border again, it would not make Tong Guan so moved.

Tong Guan calmed down his excitement and handed the secret letter to Liu Guangshi for a look.

Liu Guangshi took it, his eyes swept over, and the next moment he saw Liu Guangshi tremble, with an unbelievable look on his face, and exclaimed: "How is it possible, this is impossible..."

It turned out that in the secret letter, it was mentioned that Chu Yi's department had successfully broken through the Yingtian Mansion, had already entered the capital and supported the ninth prince Zhao Gou to become emperor.

No matter which one of these news is so incredible, Liu Guangshi also understands why Tong Guan's reaction is so big.

You must know that the reason why Tong Guan was able to speak his mind in the army and deter the hearts of the army was precisely the trust from the emperor Zhao Ji.

Without Zhao Ji's trust, it would be difficult for Tong Guan to gain a foothold in the army. After all, Tong Guan's identity is destined to be very difficult for him to be recognized by the frontier army.

However, Tong Guan's ability is really not bad. Although he is suspected of using Zhao Ji's banner, Tong Guan has won over a large number of generals of the Northwest Army with his own ability and means, and has promoted some of the outstanding generals. Under the confinement, just like Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others, they were all discovered by Tong Guan. Otherwise, even if these people have the talent of the sky, and they don't have Bole, they are not the same ordinary people. the difference.

Just like Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Hua Rong and others around Chu Yi, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others also bear the mark of Tong Guan.

These people rank high in the army by virtue of Tong Guan's promotion and trust. If something goes wrong with Tong Guan, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others will be directly implicated.

Now there is news from Beijing that Tong Guan is the biggest backer in Beijing, and the current Taishang Huang Zhao Ji has suddenly become a mascot-like decoration. No wonder Tong Guan's reaction will be so big.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, but I don't know how to comfort Tong Guan.

At this moment, Zhang Jun said excitedly: "Master, why don't we also follow Chu Yi's example and lead 10,000+ elite frontier troops to kill the capital and go to the side of the Qing emperor to help protect the emperor..."

Tong Guan just glanced at Zhang Jun lightly. If he could, he might not have done it, but Tong Guan knew Chu Yi quite well. It was absolutely impossible for a person like Chu Yi to miss this point. I don't know how Chu Yi will deal with him, but Tong Guan dares to say that as long as he has any changes, Chu Yi must have the means to check and balance him.

Shaking his head slightly, he heard Tong Guan say to Zhang Jun: "I have to stop talking about this later, otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you when you lose your head."

Zhang Jun hurriedly said with a look of sincerity and fear, "I will keep this in mind at the end."

It was only a few days' effort, and a team of fast horses came straight to the Western Army camp.

The leader entered the barracks and said, "Where is Tong Guanjian, the order of Your Majesty is here, so don't hurry to receive the order."

The generals looked at each other in dismay, but after a short while, Tong Guan hurried over and bowed to the angel who delivered the decree in the handsome tent: "Chen Tong Guan, listen to the imperial decree."

The angel looked down at Tong Guan, his cold face suddenly turned into a smile, and he stepped forward and said to Tong Guan, "Your Majesty has a purpose, and the boy supervisor does not need to kneel..."

Listening to the contents of the decree read out by the angel, Tong Guan's expression changed, and when he finally finished reading the decree, the angel said to Tong Guan, "Supervisor, accept the decree."

It turned out that in the imperial decree, Tong Guan was appointed as the king of Tai'an County, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and rushed to the capital to meet the emperor.

After sending Angel Gong out of the handsome tent, Tong Guan, who returned to the handsome tent, immediately turned gloomy, Liu Guangshi gritted his teeth and said, "I dare to say that this imperial decree is definitely not the original intention of the emperor, it must be the method of the newly promoted Song Wang Chuyi. , he is trying to seize the military power in the hands of Xianggong."

Zhang Jun also nodded and said, "Master, you mustn't be fooled by Chu Yi. If your Majesty really orders, I'm afraid he won't recruit Prime Minister to the capital."

While they were talking, a figure appeared outside the handsome tent. When that figure appeared outside the handsome tent, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi all looked out of the handsome tent.

Whether it is Zhang Jun or Liu Guangshi, they are both strong men in the realm of heaven and man. It is a simple thing to have a strong cultivation base and want to see every move around them.

Therefore, when that person appeared outside the handsome tent, he naturally couldn't escape the attention of several people.

Tong Guan even stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, and immediately saw a very inconspicuous looking Xiao Huangmen being caught by him.

Seeing the panic-stricken appearance of Xiao Huangmen, Tong Guan said with a cold face, "Who sent you here, why are you sneaking in outside the handsome tent?"

Xiao Huangmen just smiled, and suddenly unbuttoned his clothes, and then slowly pulled out a secret edict from the lining of his clothes, and then said to Tong Guan several people, "Tong Guan is in charge."

Everyone was stunned, Tong Guan reacted, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he slowly bowed down and said, "Chen Tong Guan, accept the order."

Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun were listening. They were very curious. Who is the real angel and who is the fake one?But soon they probably figured out what was going on.

These two imperial decrees are both true, after all, they are stamped with the seal of the emperor, but one of the two imperial decrees is from Chu Yi, and the other is only from the meaning of the emperor Zhao Gou.

In Zhao Gou's secret edict to Tong Guan, his words were sincere, as if he regarded Tong Guan as his most important confidant, and even promised in the imperial edict that he would definitely seal Tong Guan as the king of the word one day.

The little yellow clan general handed the secret edict to Tong Guan, and said in a low voice, "Tong Jianjun, you already know what Your Majesty means, for the sake of Da Song and Your Majesty, you must sit in the Western Army and take charge of the Western Army for His Majesty, otherwise, Once the Western Army also falls into the hands of Chu Yi, I am afraid that His Majesty will never be able to stand up again."

Tong Guan's expression of excitement and hesitation, Zhao Gou, who was able to force Zhao Gou to pass the news in this way, shows that Chu Yi's power is now prosperous, and I am afraid that it is already a situation in the capital.

Zhang Jun happily said to Tong Guan: "Xianggong, your Majesty is right, Xianggong is absolutely not allowed to enter the capital. Once he enters the capital, I am afraid that he will never want to return to the Western Army. Chu Yi will never give Xianggong a chance to regain military power. "

Tong Guan said with a look of hesitation: "But that imperial decree was also stamped with His Majesty's seal, and it was a clear decree to tell the world. If I don't enter the capital, it will be a crime of deceiving the king."

Chapter 870

As Tong Guan's confidants, both Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi naturally didn't want Tong Guan to enter Beijing like this, because they knew better than anyone that once Tong Guan entered Beijing, it would not be so easy to think about leaving Beijing. Without Tong Guan, someone like them who did not have a deep foundation in the army and suddenly ascended to a high position would definitely not last long.

Liu Guangshi stroked his beard and looked at Tong Guan and said, "Xiang Gong is ill, and he is terminally ill, making it difficult for him to travel..."

Zhang Jun, who was on the side, gave a high five and praised: "Wonderful, that's the way it is, Xianggong suddenly felt a cold, and the high fever persisted, and he was unable to go to the capital. Otherwise, Xianggong is thousands of miles away, as long as Xianggong insists not to enter the capital, what can he do to Chu Yi?"

Tong Guan, who had a sad face at first, heard Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi's remarks and couldn't help showing a bit of a smile on his face: "It's so good, since that's the case, the two of you will temporarily deal with matters in the army. Li, I'll just give birth and recuperate in the mansion."

Between the words, Tong Guan couldn't help laughing.

On the second day, the inner servant who came to announce the decree was waiting for Tong Guan to follow him on the road back to the capital, but when he waited left and right, there was no trace of Tong Guan.

When the servant went to Tong Guan's mansion, he received a piece of news that greatly surprised him.

The butler of Tong Guan's mansion said apologetically to the servant: "This father-in-law, my father-in-law unfortunately had a cold last night, and now he has a high fever. I'm afraid I won't be able to go on the road with my father-in-law."

The maid said in astonishment: "This...how is this possible, Tong Xianggong is not an ordinary person, how can he suddenly become ill?"

While they were talking, the servant was about to break into the room, and the butler naturally stopped the servant from entering. Just as the two were arguing, a loud cough came from the room: "Let him come in. Bar."

The maid walked into the room and passed through the screen. The first thing he smelled was the smell of medicinal herbs, and on the bed, a figure was lying there weakly, not only yesterday. Who is Tong Guan?

Standing in front of the bed, the maid said with concern: "Tong Xianggong, how are you, is it okay?"

Tong Guan's pale face was full of exhaustion and said: "But it made the angel laugh, and when Tong received the decree, he was so happy that he couldn't help drinking a few more glasses of water and wine. , I didn't think that it caused a cold, this cold is raging, if Tong Mou is not dead, I am afraid that he will die."

The waiter sneered in his heart, I edited it, then I edited it, it would be strange if I believed you.

I think Tong Guan is an existence at the level of heaven and man. With such an existence, you can say Feng Han, who would believe it.

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show it. Whoever stipulated that existences at the level of heaven and humans couldn't get wind chills.This shows that he is not ready to enter Beijing.

Fortunately, this servant had already been warned before coming, and it can be said that everything was to be expected for Tong Guan's reaction.

Originally, it was not Chu Yi's decision to come to read the imperial decree to transfer Tong Guan back to the capital from the border crossing, but the suggestion made by Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and others.

If he really wanted to say it, Chu Yi didn't mean anything to Tong Guan, and even for the new king Zhao Gou, Chu Yi didn't have any malice.

If there is really any malice, Chu Yi doesn't have to choose Zhao Gou as the new king. After all, Zhao Huan is obviously better in control than Zhao Gou.

But Chu Yi didn't want to let the people under him be too disappointed, so he let Zhu Wu, Lu Shinang and others do it. Anyway, as long as they didn't go too far, Chu Yi didn't plan to intervene.

Before he came, this servant had already been ordered by Chu Yi. If Tong Guan really wasn't going to go to Beijing, he didn't need to force it.

Taking a deep look at Tong Guan who was lying on the bed, the waiter smiled slightly, and arched his hands at Tong Guan and said, "Forget it, since Tong Xianggong is ill, please ask Tong Xianggong to recover before entering the capital. Bar."

I thought that this servant would be struggling, and even Tong Guan was ready, but he never thought that the servant's reaction would be so indifferent, as if he had expected his reaction.

Watching the figure of the maid leave, Tong Guan, who was lying on the bed, turned over and sat up on the bed. Two figures came out from the dark. It was Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.

The two had been hiding in the dark before, and the reaction of the waiter was naturally in their eyes. At this moment, the two said with a bit of doubt: "It's strange, the reaction of the waiter seems to be a little wrong."
