I am the carpenter king

() Wang Linguang's mood at this time is very complicated. Although he has been in the officialdom for so many years and has seen many intrigues, he feels that the feelings he had back then were quite precious.He now understands in his heart that his old friend has chosen a very dangerous path. If he succeeds, he will be famous forever, and if he fails, he will be completely defeated.

Although I have such thoughts in my heart, I don't know what to do, and I don't know if I should stop my old friend.This made Wang Linguang feel very embarrassed, and he sighed deeply. The old man was full of helplessness.Perhaps what I can do is to provide him with some help, of course, without involving myself and the Wang family.It's just that this time it didn't work. The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and Wang Linguang didn't know what to do. The last time Emperor Tianqi dismissed Gu Zhen, let Wang Linguang know that this young majesty will never be soft-hearted.

Mr. Zhishui is a little unclear at this time, so Wang Linguang's eyes have been changing since the beginning. Just now he thought Wang Linguang was thinking about whether to help him, but now it seems that it is not at all. This old fox must be thinking important things.

Sighing softly, Wang Linguang said: "Zhishui, as a good friend of your master, I have the right to call you that. I am also clear about the purpose of your master's coming to the capital, but I have to say something Say. Your master is too far away from the capital. Although you are here this time, it is too late." Wang Linguang's tone was very sincere, and what he said seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, but there was a wry smile on his face .

"I don't know why Uncle Shi said that?" Although Wang Linguang said this, Mr. Zhishui was very happy. Wang Linguang's attitude can only mean that he is willing to help himself. As long as he has this attitude, things will be easy in the future.

Taking a meaningful look at Mr. Zhishui, Wang Linguang really admired his old friend for training such a talent.Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Linguang said with a smile: "Nephew, you may not know that the current situation in the capital is very complicated. Although Fang Congzhe was driven away last time, your teacher's goal was not achieved. In fact, even if you It’s okay if your teacher didn’t answer, after all, it’s a big victory to drive Fang Congzhe away.”

Mr. Zhishui also nodded slightly. He agreed with Wang Linguang's statement, and his teacher also said the same.In the current imperial court, only the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties can compete with the Donglin party, and the Chu party is the leader here.This time, Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Chu Party, can be driven away, that is the greatest victory.

Seeing Mr. Zhishui looking at him with some puzzlement, Wang Linguang went on to say: "Before this incident happened, His Majesty who had just ascended the throne was replaced by another person, and this person is Li Ruhua, the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It's Zhou Jiamo. Although Li Ruhua doesn't have his own position, he has a good relationship with us. We all know Zhou Jiamo. Although he has our position, he also has a lot of his own ideas. If there is anything, he will stand It’s hard to say where.”

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Linguang continued: "The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries, and is in charge of the official titles of the world. In fact, if there are no subsequent matters, this is not a big deal. Your plan is going smoothly. He succeeded in driving away Fang Congzhe, but Yang He was killed halfway, and Sun Chengzong was recommended, and the emperor did not hesitate, and he agreed directly, there must be something in it that we don't know."

Mr. Zhishui's face also became ugly, he is not a stupid person in the first place, this matter was not so simple in the first place, so he can probably guess something at this time.After stabilizing his mind, Mr. Zhishui continued: "Uncle Shi has something to say, my nephew is all ears!"

"The incident at that time had a very bad tendency, that is, the rise of another force, representing the chief assistant of the cabinet Sun Chengzong, and the censor of the left capital Yang He. If Zhou Jiamo, the official secretary, is added, then It's really scary. And because of what happened last time, coupled with the fact that the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties have begun to rely on Sun Chengzong, if these two groups of people really come together, then things will be really troublesome !" Wang Linguang's face was also a little ugly, he kept these things in his heart all the time, and never said them out.It's not because he trusts Zhishui so much, but because he wants to use this person to tell him the reason, which is his best intention.

As for how to choose, it depends on my old friend himself, and I am worthy of my old friend by doing so.

Do I have to go back in disgrace this time?No, definitely not.Mr. Zhishui was thinking constantly in his heart, and the expression on his face became a little scary.

The living room suddenly became quiet, and neither of them spoke. Wang Linguang drank his tea with a contented expression, while Mr. Zhishui looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Uncle Shi, why do you think things are like this?" At this time, Mr. Zhishui already understood that the situation in the court has changed unconsciously. Not only is the current situation not as good as he thought, but it is a bit precarious .

"I've always suspected this matter. Someone must be manipulating it, but now I haven't figured out who it is, but even if Yang He and Sun Chengzong are not the leaders, they are probably the main ones!" Wang Linguang said deeply. Sighing, these people worked so hard for so long, why did they suddenly become what they are now.In fact, he still had a bolder guess in his heart, but he dared not say it for a year. If all this was really manipulated by the young emperor, then everything these people did would be in vain.

At the beginning, the purpose of treating Li Xuanshi so much was to gain a good impression in front of the new king, so that he would trust himself and others like Emperor Taichang.But this young emperor, he didn't have any city mansion at the beginning, but there was another person who was extremely favored behind him.According to the current situation, this person cannot be a eunuch, and neither Wei Chao nor Wang An was favored for this reason.Then there is only one person possible, and that is Li Lan, whom Emperor Tianqi loves very much, the woman who helped Emperor Tianqi review the memorials.

If it is another situation, that is, these are all the attention of Emperor Tianqi himself, then this young emperor is a very powerful and talented monarch.No matter what the situation is, Wang Linguang will not participate in it, nor will he speak out.He is already old, and he doesn't have the desire to compete for supremacy anymore. Besides, the world belongs to the royal family. If he competes with these two, Wang Linguang feels that he will die a miserable death. He is waiting, and he will retire as soon as this incident passes. , whether it is the old friend's side or the emperor's side, it has nothing to do with me.

Today, I saw someone in the book review area talking about the prince's self-proclaimed problem. Why do you always use this to attack people?Let me explain here why the women around the emperor call themselves Bengong, because the empress lives in the Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother lives in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the imperial concubines belong to the East and West Zodiac Palaces, so they call themselves Bengong.As for the other concubines, they can only call themselves concubines!The palace, in ancient times, was the place where the emperor lived. The residence of the prince was just a palace, but no one said it belonged to the palace.Even if it is called the palace, it refers to the princes and kings, and the Ming Dynasty did not have princes and kings who were enfeoffed. Even if they were enfeoffed as kings, they were only vassal kings, and some were only palaces!There is one person who is different here, that is the prince, because he lives in the East Palace, so the crown prince is also called the owner of the East Palace.Since he lives in the palace, in order to declare his status, the prince can also call himself the palace.
