I am the carpenter king

() In the hall of the imperial envoy, the civil and military officials of Shenyang City were gathering. Just as You Shigong, the deputy general of Shenyang City, was brought in, laughter suddenly sounded outside again.

"Da Ru, this celebration wine will have to wait for a lowly position!" Following the voice, a sweaty man walked in quickly, but he was dressed in commoner clothes, but he was still forceful.

"General He!" Seeing Lai, everyone in the room stood up and said with surprise.The one who came was not an intruder, but the commander-in-chief of Shenyang City, He Shixian.

Arching his hands to the people in the room, He Shixian laughed and said: "Everyone, He has made everyone worry!" As he spoke, he walked quickly to Sun Chengzong's side, lifted his clothes and knelt down, and said loudly: "Humble job!" He Shixian, see the Commander."

Reaching out to help He Shixian up, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General He is a loyal and brave general. This commander has already reported the achievements of all of you to the emperor. I believe that the reward will arrive soon."

The banquet lasted until very late, and many people were so drunk that they could only go home with the help of soldiers.After so many years, these Liaodong civil and military officials are very bitter!

In the first year of Yaoqi, March [-]th, the night of the full moon, it is suitable for weddings and funerals, and it is forbidden to break ground and move.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Emperor Yaoqi poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Bao Zhu, I am very happy! I am really happy."

"I know that when things in Liaodong are stabilized, Your Majesty will be able to do many things. I am also happy for Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely be a good emperor." Filling up the wine for Emperor Yaoqi, Queen Zhang said with a smile.

Gently pulling Empress Zhang's hand, Emperor Yaoqi said with emotion: "You come from the folk, so you must know a lot about the folk, so tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the folks are the folks, and they are all trivial matters. What your Majesty wants to govern is the country, and what you are busy with every day is military and state affairs. It is better not to worry about these small matters." Seeing Emperor Yaoqi's question, Empress Zhang pondered for a while Once, said with a smile.

Shaking his head slowly, Emperor Yaoqi smiled wryly and said, "Don't tell me Baozhu, I know it too. There is a lot of chaos here! Local officials are incompetent, local tyrants and evil gentry run rampant in the countryside, and the lives of the people are miserable. o Ah! The imperial court has used troops year after year, and the common people have had a hard time paying taxes, and there are a lot of miscellaneous taxes.” Sighing deeply, Emperor Yaoqi continued: “There are constant disasters and disasters, the life of the people is hard to live o ah!” Put the table After drinking all the wine on the table, Emperor Yaoqi fell into deep thought.

Once again poured a glass of wine for Emperor Yaoqi, and Empress Zhang also sighed softly, she came from the common people and knew a little bit about the lives of ordinary people.Regarding Emperor Yaoqi's words, Empress Zhang didn't know what to say, so she couldn't help falling into silence at this moment.

After glancing at Empress Zhang, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Baozhu, do you know what I am most dissatisfied with?"

Empress Zhang shook her head lightly, since she married Emperor Yaoqi, she always felt that Emperor Yaoqi was a child who didn't grow up.Every day is always inexplicably busy, and I don't know what he is busy with, but it seems that the emperor should be so busy.But at this time, Empress Zhang seemed to understand a little bit. This seemingly young emperor had a lot of things in his heart.That's something I don't understand, and I can't understand.In his heart, he pretended to be under the sun, pretended to be the common people, and pretended to have too many people.

"I don't know if Baozhu has heard such a poem. One of the lines is: 'The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death'." When Emperor Yaoqi said this, his face was slumped, and his smile was also Quite bitter.

Nodding her head slowly, Empress Zhang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have naturally heard this poem before. This is a poem that entered Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty."

Looking straight at Empress Zhang, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said after a while: "I forgot, Baozhu is a talented woman!"

"Your Majesty, make fun of me again!" Empress Zhang coquettishly said to Emperor Yaoqi.

Gently stroking Empress Zhang's hand, Emperor Yaoqi said weakly: "Isn't this what Yaoxia is like now? Those officials and families, those wealthy businessmen, which one is not a servant like a cloud? Which one is not a family asset Huge rich? But what about the common people?"

Empress Zhang didn't speak, because he knew what Emperor Yaoqi said was true, and she had seen it before, but she didn't know what to do, let alone how to comfort Emperor Yaoqi.

"The ministers in the court have been clamoring all day long to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. What is emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business? Is it to levy light taxes on merchants? And those wealthy businessmen only need [-] one tax? And as long as they hang the name of the official You don’t have to pay taxes if you put your honorable name on it. Doesn’t the Ming Dynasty have any money? It has a vast territory and magnificent mountains and rivers. It’s not just talk. Even if there is a drought here and a flood there, how big is the Ming Dynasty? Where is there a disaster?" Said drinking the wine on the table in one gulp, Emperor Yaoqi laughed loudly, but the laughter was full of bitterness.

Standing up staggeringly, Emperor Yaoqi kept jumping up and down in the courtyard, and kept saying in his mouth: "The Ming Dynasty is so dignified! The annual tax is 320 million taels, and you are not afraid of making people laugh when you say it? In the Ming Dynasty, there were countless people with this amount of money, but once something happens, these people will only ask me for money."

Suddenly, Emperor Yaoqi pulled out the sword with the waist strength, waved it continuously, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Press me, press me, Liaodong has settled down, if you press me, I will kill you all!" Now, ransack your family and destroy the nine clans. As long as you snatch all your money, I will have money to enter."

After saying this sentence, Emperor Yaoqi threw out the sword suddenly, then leaned his body and was about to fall to the ground.Empress Zhang suddenly turned pale in shock, and hurriedly ran towards Emperor Yaoqi, but there was one person who was faster than her, when she just got up, another person was already supporting Emperor Yaoqi.

Seeing Chen Hong, Empress Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she seemed to understand that the old eunuch who followed Emperor Yaoqi all day seemed to be very extraordinary.It seems that there are indeed many things in the palace that I don't know, and I still need to pay attention to them in the future.

Giving a salute to Empress Zhang, Chen Hong smiled and said, "Empress Empress, do you think you are sending Your Majesty to Kunning Palace?"

Nodding her head slowly, Empress Zhang said worriedly: "Well, don't worry about taking care of me, send it to me. But Eunuch Chen, what happened today?"

"Don't worry, empress, the people here are all deaf and blind. They can't see or hear anything." Chen Hong smiled and said flatteringly.

Emperor Yaoqi went to Kunning Palace, the news quickly spread in the palace, no one thought it was strange.Everyone in the Forbidden City knows that Emperor Yaoqi loves the Empress the most, and now he brings the Empress with him every day when he approves memorials.If there is anyone who can compete with the empress, then there is only the original Miss Li, the noble concubine Lan who now lives in Chengqian Palace.As for other entries, none of them can be ranked.

Although the Empress Empress is honorable at this time, Concubine Lan is pregnant with a dragon seed!Once Long'er is born for Emperor Yaoqi, there is no guarantee that the mother will be more expensive than the child.Of course, if the Empress Empress also gave birth to a son, then her natural status would be very secure.As for the women who were selected, it seemed a bit miserable, and there were even rumors in the palace that the two concubines who had just entered the palace, Mrs. Yaoqi, had not yet consummated their marriage with them.

The news of Emperor Yaoqi's drunkenness in the palace naturally did not spread, but the news of the great victory in Liaodong came, and there were a lot of various celebrations in the capital.

This is a house located in the west part of the capital. It is a big house with three entrances and three exits. In this place where rich people gather, people who can live in such a house must have different identities.Although it was already late at night, there were still banquets going on here, but there were not many visitors, only five or six.

"Teacher, this disciple thinks this incident is an opportunity. If we can move to Sun Chengzong, then we will definitely be able to win the game!" A man put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice.

An old man was sitting on the main seat. He shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, "Don't you understand? This is not a question of who we knock down, but how we can make His Majesty Trust us. If we still attack the ministers in the court, we will also end up like Ye Xianggao."

A man next to him put down the wine glass in his hand, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Da Ru, I heard that Ye Xianggao and his disciple died inexplicably, and I don't know who did it. hand?"

The old man gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and drank the wine in one gulp. The old man said with a sneer, "No matter who did it, Ye Xianggao is to blame for it. He ruined the good impression we left on the emperor. Let Our hard work at the beginning of the establishment was wasted. The old man told him not to be too anxious, not to be too anxious. The emperor just came to the throne, and when no one trusted him, he wanted to jump out. Not only did he drive away Fang Congzhe , I still have to sit on it. At that time, the emperor was already suspicious, or it was intentional to make the emperor suspicious."

The people around all nodded, and the one who spoke first said again: "But what happened that time didn't work out?"

"It was because the emperor became suspicious that it didn't work. I don't know if Ye Xianggao got involved in Xiong Tingbi's case again. Xiong Tingbi was originally a member of the Chu Party. But Xiong Tingbi, who does he think he is? That Yang Yuan is also an idiot, what's the trouble at this time? Fortunately, Ye Xianggao is dead, and his apprentice is also dead, otherwise they must have killed many people." The old man seemed Yi Yiri was very angry, and she didn't leave any room for what she said.

The person who claimed to be a student then asked: "That's why the teacher suppressed the death of the two people?"
