I am the carpenter king

In the first year of Tianqi, on May 28, it is suitable for weddings and funerals, and it is forbidden to break ground and move.

Putting down the folding newspaper in his hand, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly, things are impermanent, but there are always rules, sometimes things even if they want to change, they are powerless to do it.Rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi picked up the memorial again and looked at it from the beginning.

The memorial in the hands of the Emperor Tianqi was made by Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong. The Emperor Tianqi's plan to quietly eliminate the rebellion completely failed.It is very clearly recorded in the memorial: On May 29, Xu Hongru, the head of Wenxiangmen, announced his rebellion in Liangjialou between Yuncheng and Juye, Shandong.On that day, 2 rebels gathered, and the first target of the rebels' attack was Yuncheng.

At night, Chen Fang, the county magistrate of Yuncheng, and Zhang Fei, the commander-in-chief stationed in Yuncheng County, led two thousand officers and soldiers to defend Yuncheng to the death. At dusk, the rebels attacked Yuncheng.The officers and soldiers did not retreat, and the rebels attacked Yuncheng for two hours without breaking the city. Immediately, the morale of the officers and soldiers increased greatly, and the morale of the rebels was hindered.

At this critical moment, the rebels in Yuncheng should take advantage of the slackness of the officers and soldiers to attack and kill the officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate.After a fierce battle and dozens of wounds, Yuncheng killed Zong Zhangli in battle.The magistrate of Yuncheng County jumped off the head of Yuncheng City and died for the country.

For this memorial, Emperor Tianqi knew that there was deliberate exaggeration in it, but it was true that the magistrate of Yuncheng and the general had died.At this time, Emperor Tianqi would naturally not send someone to check this matter, as long as he died, he would die for the country.

The rebellion has just begun, and there will be more important counter-rebellion in the future. At this time, there are such courtiers, so it is natural to publicize it.Whether it is true or not, now is not the time to pursue it.There is only one thing to do now, and that is to praise and reward and set an example for future generations.

Consider this matter.Emperor Tianqi continued to look down, and the memorial wrote: "After the fall of Yuncheng, the rebels rushed to Juye without stopping. After fierce fighting day and night, Juye responded to the city and was also occupied by the rebels. Chen Linliang. Facing the capital, he swung his sword and killed himself. Wu Fangliang, the commander of Juye, fought to the death without retreating, and died in a fierce battle."

Emperor Tianqi sighed softly, put down the memorial in his hand again, and pondered quietly with a sullen face.The two counties were occupied, and the military chiefs and magistrates of the two counties were all dead.Emperor Tianqi believed that these people did not want to die, but there was no other way.Seeing the size of the rebel army, they knew that these people would be wiped out by the court sooner or later.Surrendering them will not only implicate the tribe, but also make their death even more ugly in the future.But if he dies in battle at this time, he will be loyal to the country, not only can he leave his name in history, but he can also benefit future generations.Such a choice, except for fools, everyone knows how to do it.

After thinking about it quietly, Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly, and said to Wang Chengen with a calm face: "Go and find Luo Sigong. Then send someone to pass an order to summon the cabinet scholars, six ministers, and officials from each department to discuss matters." .”

After Wang Chengen left.Emperor Tianqi kept tapping on the table, meditating quietly.It will be a matter of time before the rebellion is put down. How can we get what we want in this rebellion? This is what Emperor Tianqi wants.

Not long after, Luo Sigong walked in with a very ugly expression on his face.Although Luo Sigong didn't deal with Xu Xianchun.But he still agrees with Xu Xianchun's ability, and he didn't take the Shandong matter too seriously this time.Ever since Xu Xianchun's secret report last time, Luo Sigong knew that things might be bad.Just received a secret report from Shandong that Luo Sigong would also come to the palace to meet Emperor Tianqi even if Emperor Tianqi did not look for him.

Gently lift up the clothes.Luo Sigong knelt on the ground and said: "The Commander of Chen Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong, see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"

Slowly waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "Get up! Ai Qing's complexion is not very good? Is there any bad news?"

"Your Majesty, something happened in Shandong." Luo Sigong bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice, "Jin Yiwei knows that Xu Xianchun's ineffectiveness in handling affairs is due to his lack of supervision. Your Majesty, please punish him!"

Smiling and shaking his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a soft voice: "Get up! This time, I am a bit difficult for others. Xu Aiqing will try her best to do things for me. I have already said it last time, and there are no faults and merits."

Throwing the memorial in his hand to Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "Aiqing, this is the memorial of Sun Yanshang, governor of Shandong, take a look!" After Luo Sigong finished reading it, Emperor Tianqi continued: "I am very curious, why The news from Jinyiwei came so slowly this time? Isn’t Xu Aiqing in Shandong? Why didn’t the news come up?”

"Your Majesty, this is the secret copy of Jin Yiwei in Shandong, please take a look at it!" Luo Sigong said respectfully, raising the memorial in his hand above his head.

After receiving the memorial from Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi slowly opened it and read it slowly.After reading this secret book, Emperor Tianqi finally knew why there was no news from Xu Xianchun.It was clearly written in the secret booklet that Xu Xianchun led a miscellaneous army composed of official soldiers and Jinyiwei to arrest people. The person who was arrested was the leader of this rebellion, Xu Hongru, the head of Wenxiangmen.But this group of people seemed to have disappeared, and they disappeared after leaving Yuncheng, and there was no news of this group of people until Yuncheng was captured.

Sighing softly, Emperor Tianqi said rather helplessly: "I'm afraid Xu Aiqing is in danger this time. This matter will be kept secret for now, and we will talk about it after the rebellion subsides."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey the order." Luo Sigong said in a deep voice, saluting Emperor Tianqi.

Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi now likes Luo Sigong even more, and is loyal to himself, no matter what he says or asks him to do, he will do it without asking why or discounting.For such subordinates, Emperor Tianqi naturally likes them very much, and the most important thing is that Luo Sigong is capable.The entire Jinyiwei was in his hands, like an arm and a finger, very secure, and this was the most important reason why Emperor Tianqi valued Luo Sigong.

"Your Majesty, the grown-ups are already here, should you let them in?" Wang Chengen came to Emperor Tianqi's side and said in a low voice after waving his hand to signal the little eunuch to leave.

Gently nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Luo Aiqing, you go! Don't blame yourself too much for the Shandong matter, it's not your responsibility!"

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness, and I will leave!" Luo Sigong said with tears of gratitude after saluting Emperor Tianqi.

After Luo Sigong left, Emperor Tianqi said to Wang Chengen, "Let them in!"

After a short time, all the ministers waiting outside came in. After everyone stood up, Emperor Tianqi handed over the memorial to Sun Yan from Shandong Province to Wang Chengen, and said calmly, "Read it!"

Wang Chengen took the memorial and read it slowly. Hearing the contents of the memorial, all the people below were stunned.This memorial was urgently sent to Emperor Tianqi, and no one had read it. At this time, it was heard that there were rebellions in Shandong, and it even reached the point of besieging the city and killing officials.

After reading the memorial, the hall fell into silence, and everyone looked at each other for a while.

Looking at the people below, Emperor Tianqi coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, this is the end of the matter, what's the best way?"

The ministers present glanced at each other. These people knew in their hearts that there was nothing they could do at this time, but to send troops to suppress it.It's just that the imperial court needs to set a main tone, whether to focus on extermination or appeasement.This is an important issue every time troops are sent to quell a rebellion.As long as this problem is solved, the next step is to send someone.

"Your Majesty, I think that Xu Hongru's use of cults to confuse people is a heinous crime, and he should be punished according to the law. This thief is openly rebelling, and he should be killed. I ask your majesty to send troops to suppress the rebellion." When everyone was thinking about Emperor Tianqi's thoughts, a minister stood up. It was the newly appointed Minister of War, Xiong Wencan.

Looking at the upright Xiong Wencan, the ministers in the hall had different eyes, some with contempt, some with admiration, and some with regret.Everyone knew that sending people to suppress the rebellion was a certain thing, so they didn't stand up. They didn't expect Xiong Wencan to take advantage of his negligence.

Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below, and didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. These people just couldn't change their aggressiveness.Emperor Tianqi also knew that what Xiong Wencan said was nonsense, but he couldn't treat it as nonsense, so he had to ask in a deep voice: "What do you love?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that Master Xiong's words are very reasonable. We must strictly punish those who plan to commit crimes. The Minister recommended Xiong Wencan, Minister of the Ministry of War, Lord Xiong. Lord Xiong once fought Japanese pirates and knew about military affairs. He is also the first For those who advocate sending troops to suppress, I recommend Lord Xiong to be the supervisor to preside over counter-insurgency matters." Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, a person stood up immediately, and this person was Wu Liangsi, Minister of the Household Department.

The people in the hall once again looked at each other in blank dismay. Even if Xiong Wencan played a trick, he would not recommend him directly to suppress the rebellion!Some people seemed to feel that there was something wrong with being in the limelight, and they made up their minds not to say a word about this matter.

Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, glanced at Xiong Wencan, and nodded slowly. Emperor Tianqi fully trusted Xiong Wencan's ability.Turning his eyes to Liu Yijing, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice, "Liu Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"

Seeing Emperor Tianqi asking himself, Liu Yijing knew that he should speak. After pondering for a while, he said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with sending troops to suppress the rebellion, so it is only natural to choose a supervisor. Mr. Xiong's qualifications, In terms of rotation control and ability, he is the best candidate, and I think Mr. Xiong is suitable."

Xiong Wencan, who was standing aside, was already stunned, hating himself in his heart, he really shouldn't be playing such a clever trick.Now that the yellow mud falls off the crotch, it's either shit or shit! (to be continued..)
