I am the carpenter king

() When Dang Han left, Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply, and said to Chen Hong, who had already entered, "See if it's him!" In fact, Emperor Tianqi knew very well in his heart that there was Li Jinzhong, the current Wei Zhongxian, otherwise Luo Sigong absolutely did not dare to bring it.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's Thief Li!" Chen Hong said with righteous indignation after slowly closing the box.

"Go and find Wei Chao and Ke Shi! I have something to say." Slowly putting his hand on the hilt of the sword, Emperor Tianqi said with a sullen face and a cold voice.

Chen Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Yes, I will go now!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to look for them anymore. Ask your concubine if you have anything to do!" Chen Hong hadn't left the room when a faint voice sounded in the hall, flat but very soft.

Slowly closing his eyes, Emperor Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice, "Why? I really don't want you to come, don't you understand?"

Walking slowly to the side of Emperor Tianqi, gently lifted up her skirt, Li Lan knelt down slowly, and said softly: "It's my honor to be able to serve His Majesty. There is nothing more to say."

"Your Majesty, the old minister should go out!" Chen Hong looked at the two people there, and said with some embarrassment.It is better not to be here at this time, after all, it is the matter of Emperor Tianqi and his wife, and it is not good for him to be here, the more he knows, the sooner he will die.

Gently nodded, Emperor Tianqi said lightly: "Go!" After a while, he turned his gaze to Li Lan who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Get up! It's cold on the ground." He said and pulled Li Lan from the ground up.

"Your Majesty, my concubine..." Li Lan looked at Emperor Tianqi with a complex expression, tears kept falling from his eyes, but he held back what he wanted to say.

"For such a long time, I asked myself that I have treated you well. Why did you treat me like this? That Li Jinzhong deserved to die when I ascended the throne, but you went to find Wei Chao and asked Wei Chao to protect him. I know, and I also understand, so I Didn't kill him. Do you know, how much I hoped that you came to find me, and you came to beg me, but you didn't. I gave you for so long, and you didn't tell me. Sad, do you know?" Looking at Li Lan angrily, Emperor Tianqi roared loudly, completely losing his usual poise, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

At this time, Li Lan was already sobbing. Looking at Emperor Tianqi's appearance, she walked to Emperor Tianqi's side on her knees, and hugged Emperor Tianqi's legs tightly.Putting her face on Emperor Tianqi's dragon robe, Li Lan wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, this concubine already knew what His Majesty was thinking, but this concubine has some unavoidable difficulties! This concubine also has no other choice."

"I have to? What are your difficulties? Because Li Jinzhong is your uncle?" Emperor Tianqi kept stroking the hilt of the sword with his right hand fingers, looked at Li Lan with a sneer, and scolded loudly.

"He's not the uncle of the concubine. This concubine has known for a long time that he just picked up the concubine on the street." Li Lan glanced at the wooden box on the ground, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said ironically.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned at this moment, he didn't expect Li Lan to answer like this, he couldn't help saying in surprise: "Since this is the case, why didn't you tell me?"

"Your Majesty ascended the throne at a young age. He killed many people in the palace just after he ascended the throne. The concubine was also very afraid. Li Jinzhong was among those killed at that time. But he came to ask the concubine, hoping that the concubine could save her. Although the concubine Knowing that he is not the uncle of the concubine, but after all, he was the one who saved the concubine back then. Without him, the concubine might have died on the side of the road, or been sold to the brothel. It was he who saved the concubine's life and raised her The concubine grew up, taught the concubine to read, taught the concubine to write, and sent the concubine to the palace. Without him, how could the concubine be where he is today? Although the concubine is not related by blood, in the concubine's heart, he has always been He treats him like a father." Li Lan's voice was very flat, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, but when he looked at Emperor Tianqi, there was a strong reluctance in his eyes.

"Do you know why I wanted to kill him?" Emperor Tianqi gently stroked Li Lan's hair, and said in a somewhat erratic tone.At this time, Emperor Tianqi also had doubts about his actions. Is it right to kill Wei Zhongxian at this time?They didn't kill him before, firstly because of Li Lan, and secondly because they wanted to use him.Once one day, I am unable to deal with the Donglin Party, then push this big guy out.

But at this time Emperor Tianqi no longer needs Wei Zhongxian, the court has its own small power, and the power of the Donglin Party in the court has almost been driven away.As long as time passes, Emperor Tianqi believes that he will no longer be afraid of the Donglin Party.As for containing the civil official group, Emperor Tianqi also had his own ideas.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been by His Majesty's side for a long time, and I have some understanding of His Majesty's personality. Regarding potential threats, His Majesty does not allow him to exist. Li Jinzhong was originally His Majesty's man, but he turned to Li Xuan as a servant This one alone is already a capital offense. What's more, this man is quite ambitious, and he wants to use his concubine to answer his purpose, so it is naturally impossible for His Majesty to keep him." Li Lan wiped it lightly. The tears in the corners of his eyes flowed slowly, but his hands still tightly hugged Emperor Tianqi's thigh.

"Since you know, why didn't you come and talk to me? Could it be that in your heart, my status is not as good as this person?" Emperor Tianqi pulled out the sword in his hand and shouted loudly at Li Lan at the same time.There is another reason why Emperor Tianqi insisted on killing Wei Zhongxian. In true history, Emperor Tianqi had three sons and two women.But none of them grew up, and all of them died halfway. This is due to the credit of the Ke family and Wei Zhongxian. If it wasn't for Li Lan, the Emperor Apocalypse would have chopped up Wei Zhongxian and fed him to the dogs.

"The matter has come to this point, and I don't know what to say. I am satisfied with being able to serve His Majesty for such a long time. I just want to tell Your Majesty that he is just a little ambitious. Your Majesty is the emperor. He is like raising a dog. He has rescued his concubine before, and his concubine cannot just watch His Majesty kill him, but this time his concubine is unable to stop His Majesty." Li Lan looked at Emperor Tianqi very reluctantly. , smiled lightly, and slowly let go of the hands holding Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Li Lan uncertainly, not knowing what else this woman was going to do.

"Your Majesty, this concubine knows that I have committed a serious crime, so I will not make it difficult for Your Majesty. I will go there by myself. I hope that I will have the opportunity to serve Your Majesty in the future!" Li Lan glanced at Emperor Tianqi decisively, and stood up abruptly. , and bumped into the pillar not far away.

"Don't." Seeing Li Lan's actions, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt empty in his heart, shouted, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab Li Lan's arm, and pulled him into his arms.
