I am the carpenter king

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

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Emperor Yaoqi smiled wryly and shook his head, then looked at Empress Zhang who was still reading the memorial, and said impatiently: "I don't want to read it, there's nothing there!"

Gently put down the memorial in her hand, Empress Zhang smiled calmly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be upset about this matter, isn't it already expected?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Chen Hong who was standing aside, and said helplessly: "Send all these memorials to the Supervisor of Rituals, and tell them that anyone who requests a retrial of Zhang Juzheng's case will be kept." I won’t send it out, and I’m bringing the rest of the papers!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do it now!" Chen Hong said respectfully to Emperor Yaoqi.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Yaoqi asked in a deep voice: "How about the matter I asked you to investigate? How is the situation outside?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the investigation is almost complete. The news that His Majesty is going to retry the case of Zhang Juzheng is spreading outside. The people in the capital are very happy, and they all say that Your Majesty is the Ming Lord, and the Ming Dynasty is hopeful!" Although it is good news, But Chen Hong didn't have the slightest joy on his face, and he was quite serious when he spoke.

Nodding his head noncommittally, Emperor Yaoqi smiled indifferently, and said mockingly: "These people really spared no effort, there is no room for me to change things, if I don't do what they say, I, the foolish king The hat is fixed. But if you do what they say, you will play right into their hands, so smart!"

Waving at Chen Hong, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice, "Go!"

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi's complexion was not very good, Empress Zhang approached lightly, took Emperor Yaoqi's hand, and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you should think about what to do!"

"This is the so-called sage disciple, modest gentleman, persecuting the emperor, is it the duty of a minister? Since you are not benevolent, you can't blame me!" Smiling coldly, Emperor Yaoqi's expression was quite serious, Clearly some important decision was made!

Regarding Emperor Yaoqi's decision, Empress Zhang was not prepared to say anything, as a woman, she should not have participated in these matters by herself.If Emperor Yaoqi hadn't asked him to approve the memorial, and he wanted to spend more time with Emperor Yaoqi, he would not have approved the memorial.

Smiling calmly, Empress Zhang said softly: "Your Majesty, when I was in my hometown, I heard a word from my father. As a superior, it is a matter of knowledge. As the emperor, the minister of the Manchu Dynasty They are all His Majesty's subordinates. If there are too many people, there are all kinds of people. If you make His Majesty angry, you can grind it out. If you really don't like it, then send it away, and you can't see it. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. It’s not worth the loss if you hurt yourself! Besides, His Majesty is still young, and the time is still long! There’s no need to be angry with those old guys, they still have a few days to live!”

Gently holding Empress Zhang's hand, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile: "Hearing what you said, I feel much better! Yes! Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish, so I can't wait to o!"

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi's mood improved a lot, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Then what will His Majesty plan to do about this time?"

With a deep smile, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "What should I do? Salad! Aren't these a trap for me? If I have nowhere to go and can only play tricks, then I will play with them. It is also a good way to talk about other things. As the saying goes, you have your way, and I have my way, and I will see whose way is useful!"

Slowly nodding her head, Queen Zhang seemed quite curious and said, "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty want to do? Let the concubine know!"

"Is this? It is to use another matter to catch these people by surprise. If I have to entangle these people on this matter, I am very passive, but if it is another matter, it is not necessarily the case! If Baozhu wants to You know, then give birth to a prince first, otherwise there will be no discussion!" Gently pinching Empress Zhang's petite nose, Emperor Yaoqi said with a big smile.

Emperor Yaoqi was flirting with a beautiful woman, but Xu Xianchun was not in the mood. At this time, the colleague of Jin Yiwei finally showed his face.There was a burning charcoal brazier with a red-hot iron in it, and various instruments of torture were placed in the room.Tiger stools, sticks, leather whips, etc., can be described as everything.

Looking at the man tied to the wooden frame, Xu Xianchun sat gently on a chair beside him, and said with a smile: "General Lu, Xu knows that you are a man, and I also admire generals who can kill the enemy on the battlefield, but Xu also has no other choice! I hope the general will not blame him!"

Lu Lin nodded with a smile, and said quite boldly: "I didn't expect there to be someone like you in Jinyiwei. Lu has seen it. But Lu said it before, everything is done by Lu, Lu I admit it all, bring me the confession, and I will sign it and make a deposit!"

Standing up slowly, walking slowly to Lu Lin's side, Xu Xianchun said playfully: "General Lu, Xu has come to investigate the case of Liaodong under His Majesty's decree, you know if I hand over the case like this, What will Xu get?"

"Naturally, he got promoted and made a fortune. After all, Jing is a great achievement!" Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile.

Gently shaking his head, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "General Lu was joking, you should know that if I hand it in like this, I will definitely be sent to prison. I will be the one who is interrogated, and it is not necessarily a matter of ransacking my home and destroying my family." o Ah!"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xu Xianchun sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "General Lu, do I mean your thoughts as a general or are you stupid?"

Lu Lin's face flushed immediately, and he said dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about? You can kill or scrape whatever you want. Why do you want to humiliate me?"

"Because you lied to me, do you think I'm an idiot? The person who caught you this time is the biggest. But only 80 taels of silver were confiscated in your house. Although 80 taels is not a small amount, it is a huge amount compared to the huge amount of collaborating with the enemy. In terms of profit, it can’t be less! A businessman who resells grain has 80 taels at home, and a businessman who resells illegal salt is 120 million taels. Although the three of you are the big ones, But yours is the most abnormal! Do you think you are stupid, or I am stupid?" Xu Xianchun said loudly as he pulled Lu Lin's clothes.

"Well, Xu Daru, Lu doesn't quite understand what you mean!" Glancing at Xu Xianchun, Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Okay! Since you are pretending to be stupid, let me tell you. I have already checked the two merchants. One of them sells grain and the other sells illegal salt. Although the things they sell are different, the money they give is the same. Yes. Your profit is divided between three and seven, three of them, seven of you! In other words, your money should be twice the sum of the two of them, and this is right." Walking around the room slowly , Xu Xianchun said lightly, without any emotion in his voice.

"But what about the fact? The fact is that the two of them together have 200 million taels, but you only have 80 taels. According to your sharing ratio, you should have more than 400 million taels of silver. Then, General Lu, can you please Tell me, where did the 400 million taels go?" Gently patted Lu Lin's face, Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

Laughing loudly, Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun, and said in a deep voice, "Are you crazy? How can there be so much money here? Are you poor and crazy!"

Smiling calmly, Xu Xianchun said gently: "Eastern Liaodong is connected to Mongolia to the west, and North Korea and Jiannu to the east. What is this? It’s not just seven or eight million taels of silver, you have been in Liaodong for many years, do you calculate how much money you have for so many years?”

Looking straight at Xu Xianchun, Lu Lin smiled and said, "Actually, it's not much at all. In eight years, it's 800 million taels, and it's only 100 million taels a year! Actually, it's really not much, but you know that the money is worthless." Where did you go?"

Slowly nodding his head, Xu Xianchun smiled and said, "Very good, as long as you admit that you have someone behind your back, Xu has not wronged you?"

"So what if I don't admit it? Are you different?" Lu Lin raised his head and said loudly.

"Of course, I decided because I was right! As far as I know, General Lu has a younger brother, and he went out of the city with General He during the Shenyang battle. After the battle, Marshal Sun sent I went to collect the corpses, but I didn't find your brother's body. I wonder if General Lu can tell Xu about your brother's whereabouts? Xu is very grateful!" Picking up the iron wrapped in cloth, gently turning it , Xu Xianchun asked with a smile.

"It's so strange that there is a lack of a corpse on the battlefield. There are thousands of people, who knows where they are!" Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun with a sneer, and said loudly.

Shaking his head slowly, and smiling playfully, Xu Xianchun said expressionlessly: "General Lu, Xu always thought you were a straightforward guy, but he didn't expect you to have so many twists and turns. Marshal Sun used counterintuitive tactics , someone needs to go find Jiannu and send the news from the city. If I'm not wrong, this person is your brother?"

Looking at Xu Xianchun coldly, Lu Lin said loudly: "You already know, and you still ask me? Did they tell you?"

Putting the soldering iron back, Xu Xianchun sat down on the chair again, and then said with a smile: "General Lu, your subordinates are not as troublesome as you. Just as Xu wanted to ask, they all said it, but they are more knowledgeable than you. There are many affairs. They told me that you were the ones who agreed to open the city gate, so you were worried about other people, so you asked your brother to deliver the letter. But the person you sent to open the city gate that day was wiped out as soon as he left! "
