I am the carpenter king

In the first year of Tianqi, on the fourth day of May, it is suitable for weddings and funerals, and it is forbidden to break ground and move.

With the appointment of Sun Chengzong, governor of Jiliao, and Zuo Guangdou, governor of Liaodong, the hustle and bustle of Beijing finally calmed down after the Chinese New Year.The streets of the capital once again returned to prosperity, and the common people's worry at the beginning gradually turned into unanimous praise for Emperor Tianqi.

When passing through the gate of the city, there are no more soldiers collecting money indiscriminately. Of course, tax money is still indispensable.When setting up a stall, there are no small gangsters coming to peel the skin, and one will be caught soon after appearing.The policeman who used to have his eyes open to the sky is now polite when he sees people, and he patrols the streets every day.Walking on the street, giving money for shopping, and greeting everyone with a smile.Of course, whether it was handed over to Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, or the routine of the Yamen, these are still there.

It's just that now traders can do business with peace of mind and won't be disturbed by others. This has already satisfied many people.

The life of the people in the capital has improved a lot, and it seems that there is already a peaceful and prosperous age. Many people hope that Emperor Tianqi will continue to work hard, and truly do not pick up lost items on the road, and do not close their doors at night.

The officialdom in the capital is not in such a good state anymore, and the Jingcha ordered by Emperor Tianqi has slowly started.Zhou Jiamo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Grand Academician of the Cabinet, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Ying Zhen, started the investigation in various yamen in the capital.Anyone who is corrupt will be ordered to return the embezzled money, imposed some fines, and then ordered to resign and return to his hometown.Officials with serious circumstances are not too embarrassing, just ransacking their homes is fine.Only those cases where the circumstances are particularly bad and involve human life will be severely punished according to the law of the Ming Dynasty.

Everything outside is proceeding in an orderly manner, but the atmosphere in the Forbidden City is somewhat tense. Emperor Tianqi is not in a good mood these days.There was no smile on his face every day, but he didn't lose his temper, which already made the people in the palace silent.

But one recent thing.Let Emperor Tianqi feel better, because Concubine Lan, whom Emperor Tianqi loves so much, is about to give birth.The entire Forbidden City is busy with this matter, but there is no such thing as Emperor Tianqi, everything is arranged by someone.Seeing Empress Zhang's resentful eyes made Emperor Tianqi helpless!

Gently fiddling with the wooden products in his hands, the Emperor Tianqi couldn't help being a little surprised.This is a beautifully crafted wooden bird.As long as you pull the bird's tail, the wooden bird's wings will swing up and down, and its head will rise high.

Looking at the eldest princess Zhu Wanjun on the side, Emperor Tianqi smiled indifferently, only when he was here, could he forget the unhappiness in his heart.After handing the wooden bird to Zhu Wanjun, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "This thing is very old, why do you still keep it? Although the workmanship is good, it's nothing unusual?"

Protecting the wooden bird in her arms, Zhu Wanjun gave Emperor Tianqi a hard look.He said rather unhappily: "Back then, Grandpa didn't like Father, and we were also implicated, so life was not easy. The same princesses and princes, they have all kinds of gifts when they celebrate their birthdays, but we Nothing."

Seeing how pitiful Zhu Wanjun said, Emperor Tianqi sighed, and said with a smile: "Don't be so pitiful, I won't do it again. I will give you what a princess should have. You are the eldest princess of Ming Dynasty, with the most noble status in the world woman!"

Rest your head on the shoulder of Emperor Apocalypse.Zhu Wanjun smiled and said: "I remember it was my fifth birthday, and I didn't receive any presents except for the longevity noodles made by my mother. But on that day, Brother Huang gave me a gift, the most beautiful one in the world. Precious gift. Brother Huang gave me this wooden bird that day. It was made by Brother Huang himself. It took me three whole months. I was very happy at that time. It was the happiest day since I grew up. .”

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi did not speak, Zhu Wanjun went on to say: "At that time, I was not sensible. I just knew that it was made by the emperor's brother, and I didn't know the hard work of the emperor's brother. Later, when I grew up, I heard people say that this thing was made by the emperor's brother. It took a whole three months. If you are not satisfied with it once, Brother Huang will dismantle it and redo it, and if you are not satisfied, you will redo it."

Speaking of this, Zhu Wanjun's eyes were a little red, but she still smiled, and that smile looked very distressing.Glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Wanjun continued: "Later, I heard from Ke Baba that Brother Huang's hand was injured countless times in order to make this thing." He gently picked up Emperor Tianqi's hand, and stroked it. For the scars on it, Zhu Wanjun looked up at Emperor Tianqi and asked with a smile, "These scars were left at that time?"

Emperor Apocalypse did not speak. Ever since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he has always wanted to be an emperor and change the country.Looking at Zhu Wanjun's immature face, Emperor Tianqi felt for the first time that he had overlooked many things.

"Don't tell me, Brother Huang, I also know that it was left at that time. Ke Baba told me. Brother Huang cried while making this wooden bird. Brother Huang said: 'I have no ability to please Grandpa Huang. , Let everyone be implicated. Said that I am useless, as an older brother, I can’t even give a decent gift to my younger sister!'” Speaking of this, Zhu Wanjun burst into tears suddenly, and could not make a sound.

Holding Zhu Wanjun in his arms, and gently patted her on the back, Emperor Tianqi whispered: "Okay, okay, the hard days are over! Brother Huang is now the emperor, and I can buy you the best gift .!"

Gently wiped away the tears, Zhu Wanjun shook her head vigorously, and said firmly: "In my heart, the most precious thing is this wooden bird. No gift can compare to it. No matter how precious it is, I don't care for presents." Looking up at Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Wanjun smiled and said, "Actually, in the hearts of my brother and I, you have always been my best brother! You were in the past, and you are now."

Looking at Zhu Wanjun who was smiling through tears, Emperor Tianqi asked rather puzzled: "I used to see you laughing and joking, very happy, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts!"

"I'm not young anymore, I know everything. Ever since I knew about this wooden bird, I feel that I can't show cowardice, and I must live happily every day. Brother Huang is already very difficult, I will never let the emperor worry!" Zhu Wanjun raised her head proudly, and said with a cute face.

Looking at Zhu Wanjun quite moved, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "You are really sensible, so why are you talking about this to the emperor now?"

"The emperor is now the emperor. Although he is busy every day, it is different from before. At that time, the maids and eunuchs bullied me. Who dares now? I am the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty! The most honorable woman in the world Of course, besides the queen mother, there is also the emperor’s wife! Good! From today onwards, I will be the third most noble woman in the world, whoever dares to mess with me, I will spank his ass!" Standing up, Zhu Wanjun kept jumping in the yard Go, jump!

His Royal Highness Xin Wang on the side was a little confused. Although he knew some things, he still couldn't remember many things clearly.But when he heard Zhu Wanjun shouting there, he also ran over and shouted loudly: "I am the second most noble man in the world, man!"

Looking at the scene in front of him with a smile, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt a lot more stable in his heart, and his irritated mood in the past few days suddenly improved a lot.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back? There are still many things to deal with ahead!" Wang Chengen said carefully when he came to Emperor Tianqi's side.In fact, he didn't want to say this, but Emperor Tianqi had been here for a long time, and the previous memorial hadn't been dealt with yet!

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Yes! It's time to go back!"

"Let the eldest princess and King Xin go back earlier, and tell them that I will be here in a few days!" Looking at Zhu Wanjun's maid, Emperor Tianqi ordered lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty understands this, don't worry!" the servant girl bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

Back in Qianqing Palace, Emperor Tianqi felt that it was a bit oppressive here. Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but wonder what happened to Xu Hongru and She Chongming, and he didn't know what was going on!

When Emperor Tianqi was worried in the palace, a group of people was on their way on the Mongolian prairie.There are not many people in the group, about 500 people, but the clothes of these people are different from those here.They are all wearing armor and riding on tall horses.Looking at the speeding team, the Mongols were not surprised, because this was the Eight Banners of their ally Jurchens.

At the front of the line is Nurhachi's son, Huang Taiji, one of the Four Great Baylors.Looking at the surrounding tribes, Huang Taiji frowned slightly, and kept thinking about what he should do during this trip.Although Daikin and Horqin have a marriage, this kind of marriage is not secure, and having common interests is the key to ensuring a big covenant.Between Dajin and Lindan Khan of the Chahar Tribe, there are many tribes. Except for the four tribes of Yehe that were swallowed up by Dajin and supported by the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the tribes are headed by the Horqin Tribe.

However, in the Horqin tribe, there are many leaders. The highest status is Horqin Taijioba, the patriarch of the entire Horqin tribe.In the Horqin Tribe, there are quite a few people with the title of Taiji, and the highest status is Auba.

Huang Taiji's current Dafujin is Zhe Zhe, the daughter of Mang Gusi Taiji from the Horqin Department. Mang Gusi is the person who supports Huang Taiji the most and hopes that Huang Taiji can inherit the throne of Great Khan.Now Huang Taiji is going to go to his father-in-law's house. Although he has an alliance with the Horqin Department, if the negotiation is not good, it is easy to appear in a situation where he does not work hard.

The following plan is of great importance, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise it will be lost.At this time, Huang Taiji did not allow any accidents to happen, the first thing he had to do was to obtain the support of his father-in-law. (To be continued..)
