Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"Assemble! Assembly!"

"The whole town gathers!"

Accompanied by the sound of drums gathering soldiers, the second township in Shuntian Mansion began to gather one after another, and at the same time, all the standard officials, school captains and captains entered the big tent and waited for the command.

Now the Dutong and the two Xietong of the second town are all powerful children who were airborne by Zhu Youxiao. They rushed to gather the whole army immediately after receiving the emperor's secret decree.

Although these rich and powerful children are ambitious and talented, they are not fools. They have not made any major changes to the second town, because they also know how to ensure the combat effectiveness of this town so that they can play a role at critical moments.

Now it's time for the second town to use its life. Changyi, the commander of the second town, quickly beat drums and gathered generals, and then came up with a secret decree to announce the deployment of troops. There was a secret decree, and they themselves were in charge of the second town. Senior generals are enough to block Shuntian Mansion with the Second Township.

The existing three new towns in Zhili are all reorganized large-scale military towns. There are 580 people in one town, and they are well-equipped, and the soldiers are even more powerful. With such a strong army, one town You can block all important places in Shuntian Mansion.

The military literacy and experience of these soldiers are completely trustworthy.

When the middle and senior officers of the second town arrived, Chang Yi took out the secret decree and read Zhu Youxiao's decree aloud, and then said: "Your Majesty's decree has been understood? All bidders set off immediately, and the battalion is used as a unit to block all streets. Lane, no one is allowed in or out!"

These Biao Tong and the school lieutenants were just about to act according to their will, when suddenly a voice came from outside the tent: "Why is there no official letter from the cabinet and the transfer document from the Ministry of War for the transfer of the second town?"

Hearing someone questioning the secret decree, Chang Yi said angrily: "Presumptuous! Who dares to question the imperial decree?"

"it's me!"

Before the words finished, Zhou Yuji walked into the big tent, and Chang Yi saw that Zhou Yuji was stunned: "You, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a while, but there are a lot of faces in this life." Zhou Yuji looked at each of the associations with a hint of meaning.

Chang Yi looked at Zhou Yuji angrily, but then he thought that this was his second town, Chang Yi immediately said: "Uncle Weiyuan, the second town is about to be dispatched, you should just stay there and don't mess around." good."

Zhou Yuji narrowed his eyes immediately when he heard that Chang Yi, an idiot and powerful son, dared to threaten him: "You? Threatening me? Threatening this general?!"

"General Chang is now the second commander of the town, what crime should you be guilty of trespassing on the barracks!, left and right, don't take him down!" A Xietong immediately stood up and reprimanded, wanting to let people take down the unstable Zhou Yuji factor.

However, after the Xietong gave the order, none of the school captains and captains in the tent moved, and none of the soldiers outside the tent came in.

Such an abnormal situation made the association realize that something was wrong, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead: it's broken, something big is going to happen!
Sure enough, Zhou Yuji smiled and said: "You are in the second town, and you want someone to take down this general?"

"Old brothers, is anyone willing to take mine?"

Chang Yi heard and shouted quickly: "Zhou Yuji trespassed into the barracks and violated the imperial court's laws, so don't take him down!"

But Chang Yi soon found out sadly that these officers who were able to command and move in the past were all deaf now, and no one was obedient.

"Guards! Where are the guards! Don't come in yet!" Chang Yi yelled, but there was still no movement outside the tent.

Finally, Zhou Yuji said, "Do you have any other tricks? If not, I'm going to do it."

"You, what do you want to do?! Zhou Yuji, let me tell you, you are disobeying the holy will, and according to the law, you will be executed!" Chang Yi threatened with a stern voice, trying to make Zhou Yuji fearful.

"Defying the holy will?"

"Should be beheaded according to the law?"

"This is how you command the Second Township, the capital?"

Zhou Yuji walked up to Chang Yi one step at a time, and then kicked him away: "Trash, I wouldn't be bothered to kill you, just stay aside and obediently!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yuji sat in the general's position: "Now, I will continue to lead the second town, who has any objections?"

The captains and captains immediately clasped their fists together and said: "See the general!"

Zhou Yuji looked at these terrified Xietong Biaotong, and shouted: "Left and right, take down these people, and then I will go to the school platform!"

At the same time, in the camp of the third town, the third town, which had assembled its entire army and was about to set off, was suddenly stopped. Wang Dashan appeared on the school platform with a few soldiers: "Who told you to gather the third town?" From the three towns?"

"Wang Dashan, we have His Majesty's imperial decree, what do you do?" Wang Wenkui, the governor of the third town, asked.

"Hmph, without Zhang Gong's cabinet approval, you dare to mobilize the third town? Take him down for me!" Wang Dashan pointed, and several soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and put the third town on the ground.

The two Xietong on the side drew their knives and were about to resist, but they were thrown to the ground by Wang Dashan.

"Wang Dashan, are you going to rebel?!" a coordinator shouted hoarsely.

However, Wang Dashan didn't even look at the Xietong, and turned around to look at the densely packed soldiers of the third town and those captains and captains under the school platform: "Your Majesty's secret decree and even forged ones, now I will take over the No. Three towns."

The school captains and captains have long been unhappy with these powerful children, and they are even more unwilling to be commanded as cannon fodder by a group of young men who do not understand military affairs and have no experience. The lieutenants clenched their right fists across their chests; "See General."

580 soldiers from the third town, [-], four soldiers and grassroots officers all clenched their right fists across their chests: "See the general!"

Wang Wenkui looked at this scene with a sluggish expression and ashen face. He was clearly in charge of the Third Township, but he couldn't directly mobilize the entire Third Township with just one sentence like Wang Dashan.

At this moment, Wang Wenkui felt that His Majesty's plan might be miscalculated.

Soon, with the sound of drums, the first town, the second town, and the third town in Shuntian Mansion were all moved. The drum sound could be heard clearly even in the palace. Zhu Youxiao, who had already begun to mobilize according to his imperial decree, also showed a joyful expression: "God bless my Ming! Now the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Shuntian Prefecture have been mobilized, and the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong have been mobilized. The big plan is set! "

"My lord, Zhang Haogu and his party have arrived at the Meridian Gate." Dongchang Fanzi hurried in to report.

"Let him come quickly, come quickly!" Zhu Youxiao blushed. He felt that as Zhang Haogu got closer and closer to him, his spirit was getting better and better. Sure enough, he could only kill Zhang Haogu. Good old, you can get better by yourself!
After Zhang Haogu arrived at the Meridian Gate, he asked a group of guards to stop outside the Meridian Gate, and entered the Meridian Gate by himself, then passed the palace wall and turned into the Hall of Martial Arts.

In front of the Hall of Martial Arts, looking at the empty road on both sides and the wide-open palace gate, Zhang Haogu stood quietly for a while, then sighed, and walked towards the wide-open palace gate step by step.

When he arrived at the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhang Haogu saw Wei Zhongxian coming out: "Master Zhang, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

"I know, I understand." Zhang Haogu said, patted Wei Zhongxian, then entered the Wuying Hall, all the way into the inner hall to Zhu Youxiao's bed.

Looking at the familiar face with a bright red complexion lying on the bed, Zhang Haogu still couldn't hold back the redness of his eyes, thinking about the past and the friendship between the monarch and his ministers, Zhang Haogu's voice began to choke: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes: "You are finally here. I have called you thousands of times, but I thought you would not come back. I didn't expect you to come back here in the end."

"I didn't expect that I would look like this when I meet His Majesty again." Zhang Haogu lamented.

"Isn't it thanks to you that I look like this? Mr. Zhang Ge? Master Zhang?" Zhu Youxiao sneered.

Zhang Haogu shook his head sadly: "Your Majesty, I didn't do it. I never thought of killing the king."

Zhu Youxiao suddenly shouted: "Yes, you didn't intend to kill the king, but your subordinates have already done it!"

"And you, you and your new party, have already hindered me!"

"Come on! Do it!"

Following Zhu Youxiao's yelling, a large number of guards and Jin Yiwei poured in from all directions and surrounded Zhang Haogu.

Seeing Zhang Haogu surrounded by so many people, Zhu Youxiao laughed happily: "Today, I finally beat you once, hahahahaha, I can feel at ease, I can feel at ease."

"Do it! Kill him!"

However, after Zhu Youxiao gave the order, none of the guards and Jin Yiwei did anything.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and do it!"

Zhang Haogu sighed lightly and waved his hand. The guards and Jin Yiwei immediately pushed aside to make way for Zhang Haogu to walk to Zhu Youxiao's bedside: "Your Majesty wants me to die that much?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned. He didn't expect that even these guards and Jin Yiwei didn't listen to him anymore. Shouldn't these be the emperor's servants?

Why did they betray me? !

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was silent, Zhang Haogu continued: "I have ordered the new army of the three towns in Shuntian Prefecture to move according to His Majesty's wishes. The second town and the third town control all the gates and streets. , As for the first town, it should have entered the imperial city by now."

"As for the new troops from the four towns in Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi, I told them to go back the way they came. Your Majesty doesn't have to wait for them anymore."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu in a daze, and said dumbly: "Unexpectedly, I still failed to win you in the end."

"I didn't expect that all of this was on purpose."

Zhang Haogu sighed, and sat beside Zhu Youxiao's bed and held Zhu Youxiao's hand: "Your Majesty, I said before that I never thought of killing the king."

"What I miss the most is the moment when the monarch and his ministers were inseparable as brothers and sisters. At that time, although I was busy with military and political affairs all day long, I was happy with it. The emperor is a sage and minister is virtuous. When the Ming emperor is in power, the good ministers are full of courts, and they will look forward to tomorrow. , Chen liked Daming at that time, and was willing to devote himself to it."

"I thought that I would continue to have no doubts with your Majesty, the monarch and my ministers. I will work together to make Daming better and better. After a hundred years, it will become an eternal story."

"But I didn't expect that I taught His Majesty so much, and in the end His Majesty was left alone."

"The Son of Heaven is still alone, you taught me this! This world belongs to Daming, and it belongs to me! What's wrong with me!" Zhu Youxiao asked sharply.

Zhang Haogu held Zhu Youxiao's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, the world belongs to you, but it also belongs to the people of the world. I told you this earlier. The people are the foundation of the country, and the community is the most important thing. For light."

"Son of Heaven, you should regard the thoughts of all people in the world as your own thoughts, and take the hearts of all people in the world as your own heart. Stay away from conspiracy and schemes, and stay close to the dignified and righteous way. Practice benevolent and benevolent government, sage inside and king outside, make the world one family, and rule with benevolence People, don't take up swords lightly."

"These, His Majesty has forgotten."

Zhu Youxiao remained silent.

Zhang Haogu continued: "Whether your Majesty believes it or not, I really have no intention of harming you, let alone the prince. After all, the prince is my disciple, and I have always hoped to teach the prince well and bring peace to all people in the world for a hundred years. "

"Originally, I thought that assisting His Majesty and the prince's two generations of monarchs and ministers could at least continue the fortune of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, but the minister is simple."

"From the second year of the apocalypse to the present weather, it has been 13 or 12 years. Too many things have changed, and people's hearts have long since become different."

"Your Majesty, I ask myself that you are still the same as before, and you have not changed your ambitions and ideals; dare to ask Your Majesty, are you still the same as before? Are you still the high-spirited young man?"

Hearing Zhang Haogu's words, Zhu Youxiao finally moved his lips: "I"

"I never thought that everyone around me would betray me."

"Maybe I've changed, maybe I've never changed."

Sighing again, Zhang Haogu let go of his hand, and tucked the quilt for Zhu Youxiao: "It was His Majesty who betrayed himself first, so His Majesty has a good rest and recuperates with peace of mind."

Zhu Youxiao watched Zhang Haogu get up and leave, he suddenly felt that his internal organs were burned again, and shouted ferociously: "Zhang Haogu!"

"You traitor!"

"Come back to me!"

"Come back to me!"

Zhang Haogu turned around and left gradually. Every step he took, Zhang Haogu's heart became firmer. Although he had expected that Zhu Youxiao might do something to him, when Zhu Youxiao really yelled ferociously to make people When he killed himself, Zhang Haogu still felt like a knife was piercing his heart, he felt depressed and depressed, and there seemed to be some depression in his chest that could not be vented, making him feel stuffy and swollen.

All the way to the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhang Haogu suddenly found another familiar figure.

Empress Zhang Yan was wearing a light yellow palace gown, with phoenix hairpin and ring accessories, and stood quietly at the door: "I already know that Your Majesty can't win you, Master Zhang."

"I have seen the queen." Zhang Haogu bowed to Zhang Yan.

"I now believe that Master Zhang really did not betray His Majesty. Master Zhang, I don't know what to do?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhang Haogu nodded: "I brought the whole family to Liaodong by boat, and now my family is well, and so is my wife."

Zhang Yan asked again: "Then if Master Zhang and His Majesty fight each other, what will Qi Qi think?"

Zhang Haogu frowned slightly: "What does the queen mean?"

Zhang Yan sighed quietly: "Could Master Zhang be afraid of this weak woman in this palace? I watched the new army enter the palace with my own eyes, and none of the imperial guards guarding the city and the guards in the palace stopped it. It can be seen that this palace, this Ming Dynasty The capital has long been under Master Zhang's control."

"Your Majesty lost to Master Zhang. There is no accident. Your Majesty is still too young, too naive, and too impatient. I once persuaded Your Majesty, but His Majesty insisted on doing so. What can I do? I just didn't expect it. burner's life"

"Forget it, let's just say it, I'm here because I want to invite Master Zhang to sit in the Compassion Ning Palace."

"Concubine Xuanyi? That's fine." Zhang Haogu nodded.

All the way to the Compassionate Palace, looking at the officers and soldiers of the new army guarding the door, and then at the Concubine Xuan Yi sitting in the hall quietly worshiping the statue, Zhang Haogu bowed and said: "The disturbing concubine is clean."

"It's nothing to disturb. The emperor came to complain to Ai's family that day, and Ai's family expected that this day would come sooner or later. Ai's family has also heard about what the emperor has done these days. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is perverted." Princess Xuanyi said.

"Your Majesty is just a little impatient, but he is still a wise king." Zhang Haogu said.

Concubine Xuanyi said quietly: "At Ai's house, Master Zhang doesn't have to be so polite. Mingjun can't do anything to wash the Huangji Palace with blood. There is no need to hide anything for the emperor. Daming can have today, thanks to Everyone knows how much the emperor has contributed to Master Zhang and the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Reform Party."

"The Ai family invited Master Zhang here today, just to ask, now that the emperor wants to kill Master Zhang, does Master Zhang have any resentment towards the emperor?"

"Hate is not enough, it's just mourning." Zhang Haogu said.

"Then using the emperor's life, can we untie Master Zhang's knot?" Princess Xuanyi said in shocking words.

Zhang Haogu frowned and said: "I said it, I never thought of killing the king."

Concubine Xuanyi nodded: "Since that's the case, Master Zhang still thinks that this world belongs to Daming?"

"Naturally." Zhang Haogu said.

"Will Master Zhang agree to the King Xin's ascension to the throne?" Dowager Xuanyi asked again.

Zhang Haogu asked: "What does the concubine mean?"

Concubine Xuanyi looked at Zhang Yan, held Zhang Yan's hand and sighed: "Whether it's Ai's family or the queen, it's not an exaggeration to say that they have lost their children. Now Ai's family misses you." That’s right, it’s going to be a big day tomorrow.”

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Majesty will definitely abdicate. If your Majesty abdicates and has no heirs, it is natural to want brothers to live forever and let King Xin be the emperor."

"As long as Master Zhang agrees, Master Zhang will still be in charge of the military and political affairs of the imperial court in the future. As long as the world is still ruled by Ming Dynasty and the emperor's surname is Zhu, the Ai family will not care about other matters."

"At the same time, the Ai family will persuade the emperor to restore Master Zhang's official title, and then let the emperor abdicate on his own. What does Master Zhang think?"

Zhang Haogu looked at Concubine Xuanyi, and sighed for a long time: "Concubine, I really haven't thought about this."

"In this way, the Ai family will understand, Master Zhang, please go back." Dowager Xuanyi nodded.

After Zhang Haogu left, Concubine Xuanyi looked at Zhang Yan: "Can the Queen hear you clearly?"

Zhang Yan nodded with a complicated expression.

"What do you think, the queen?" Dowager Xuanyi asked again.

Zhang Yan said softly: "The concubine has no children, so I can't lose your majesty anymore. If you can save your majesty's life, then your majesty will abdicate as well. After all, your majesty has offended the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. If you don't abdicate, I will be worried." His Majesty's safety."

Concubine Xuanyi said: "Now the future of Daming depends on our mother and I. Go and persuade Your Majesty to abdicate voluntarily and give the throne to King Xin, so as to protect the country of Daming."
